On the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there was a very inconspicuous island called Phi Dao, where Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao at that time.
This incident changed the fate of many people, Mao Wenlong died, and a few years later Yuan Chonghuan was also killed because of this incident, and two of Mao Wenlong's subordinates at that time were also completely changed by this incident, they were Geng Zhongming and Geng Zhongming.
Both of these people later became the kings of the Qing Dynasty's zhenshou side, and became prominent figures in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, among which Geng Zhongming's grandson, Geng Jingzhong's fate was the most lamentable, because he was executed by Kangxi Lingchi.
Wu Sangui is the most shameless and repetitive in Sanban, many people think that Sanban is such a person, but in fact, Geng Jingzhong is not such a person, he is indeed anti-Qing, but he is not a capricious villain.
Among the three times, Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi were all important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, first descending to the Qing and then rebelling against the Qing, capriciously being despised, although Shang Kexi was held hostage by his son, but in the ancient concept of the unity of father and son, this is no different from his own rebellion, because outsiders can not know what the truth is.
Only Geng Jingzhong was different, his grandfather surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he only inherited his grandfather's title, not to mention what kind of Ming Dynasty minister, and had no obligation of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
This man was Kangxi's brother-in-law, the daughter of his wife Prince Hauge of Su, who was already among the Manchu nobles, and he who inherited the title had no interest in fighting, and the greatest pleasure was to covet pleasure and build a royal palace.
After Kangxi's order to revoke three times came down, this king of Jingnan, who only knew pleasure, had a hot brain and followed Wu Sangui to rebel, and Wu Sangui's rebellion was an unpopular thing, nominally three times of rebellion, but in fact, like the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, the internal war was fought first, and there was no unity at all.
Geng Jingzhong did not have other skills, surrender was learned quite quickly, after the Qing Dynasty's counterinsurgency army arrived in Fujian, Geng Jingzhong surrendered, and he also wrote to ask for his throne, and expressed his willingness to lead his troops to fight Zheng Jing.
Kangxi first thought that he was his brother-in-law, and second, he really needed troops to fight Zheng Jing, so he agreed to Geng Jingzhong's proposal and really opened up to him and asked him to lead his troops to fight Zheng Jing.
This kind of traitor, generally a layman in the foreign war, an insider in the civil war, Geng Jingzhong led the troops, really defeated Zheng Jing, and then marched into Chaozhou to defeat Shang Zhixin's army.
After that, he was stationed in Chaozhou, but since he became a slave, he had to accept the fate of the slave, and the fate of the slave was completely in the hands of the master, and whether he could survive or not depended on the mood of the master.
Later, Geng Jingzhong was accused of rebellion, the old trick in history, the screenwriters did not bother to change the plot, this model was repeatedly staged in Chinese history, and it did not matter whether Geng Jingzhong really plotted rebellion later.
In the end, Geng Jingzhong was ordered by Kangxi to be executed by Ling Chi, which was the most cruel punishment in ancient times, why kangxi hated him so much, in Kangxi's words, you were saddled with great imperial favors, and then plotted rebellion after being netted, which was more hateful than others.
But fortunately, Geng Jingzhong's family has been properly settled, especially his two younger brothers, who were actually able to die well, and were also given the title of emperor by the imperial court, which shows that Kangxi hated Geng Jingzhong alone, and also explained one thing from the side, because Geng Jingzhong, who was executed by Ling Chi, because of the rebellion, whether there was a rebellion or not, may only be known by God.
