But when? San Francisco rebellion? After the end, Kangxi wrote a letter to depose all Han officials, and at the same time stipulated that future generations could not seal the Han official. So later Han Chen, no matter how much credit he made, failed to be crowned king again.
Among the Han ministers deposed by Kangxi, one was his brother-in-law, who made meritorious deeds in counterinsurgency, but was finally executed by Ling Chi. Why did Kangxi treat his brother-in-law so cruelly? Today, we will take a look at this brother-in-law of Kangxi, Geng Zhongjing.
Geng's grandfather was the first king of Jingnan. Gengyuan was a subordinate of Mao, a general of the Ming Dynasty. After Mao was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, he was transferred to Sun's command. After that, Geng and Kong Youde rebelled and surrendered after defeat. Huang taiji attached great importance to him and named Geng Zhongming King Huai Shun.
After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, Geng Zhongming was named King of South Beijing for his meritorious service. But it wasn't long before he committed suicide, because he was hiding a fugitive and was afraid of being questioned by the court. Then his eldest son Geng Jimao succeeded to the throne. After Geng Jimao's death, Geng Zhongjing succeeded Wang Jue.
Compared with his grandfather and father, Geng is completely unqualified. He comes from a noble family, but he is not interested in military affairs at all. He is more concerned about how to enjoy life. During his stay in Fujian, he continued to expand and repair his palace, at the expense of occupying the land of civilians. The palace finally built has far exceeded the specifications that the vassal king should have.
After the palace was built, Geng was busy enjoying himself all day, completely unaware of the coming crisis. In the twelfth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi officially wrote a letter to abolish it? San Francisco? . This caused dissatisfaction among the three captaincy kings: Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongjing.
Wu Sangui takes the lead? Xing Ming asked for help? When the soldiers were transferred out of Yunnan, under the banner of rebellion, Shangkexi responded immediately. In order to win over Geng, Wu Sangui promised him that if the invasion was successful, Geng Shi would enfeoffment Fujian and be king for generations.
Geng's wife is the daughter of Prince Su Haoge, that is to say, Geng is Kangxi's cousin. However, Geng Zhongjing was dissatisfied with Kangxi's move to cut the vassal, and was lured by Wu Sangui's conditions, so he resolutely chose to fight. In order to show his determination, he not only imprisoned the governor of Fujian, but also asked Fuzhou officials and people to cut off their braids and keep their hair.
