Timeline

  1. 1674Fuzhou · FujianGeng Jingzhong succeeded his father Geng Jimao as Prince Jingnan and, under pressure from the Kangxi Emperor's feudatory abolition, raised troops in Fuzhou, killing Fujian governor-general Fan Chengmo, holding all of Fujian, styling himself 'Grand General Who Punishes the Barbarians,' and coordinating with Wu Sangui, initially forming the three-feudatory anti-Qing configuration.
  2. 1674–1675Taizhou · ZhejiangGeng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui agreed to attack on separate routes—Zhou forces out of Hunan, Geng's out of Fujian—jointly taking Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Geng's troops at one point occupied Taizhou and Wenzhou, their spearhead pointing at Hangzhou, putting enormous pressure on the Qing court, though the joint campaign lacked unified command.
  3. 1676Fuzhou · FujianIn 1676 Tuhai's Qing forces counterattacked into Fujian; mutual suspicion estranged Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui, and Zhou forces failed to aid Fujian in time. Besieged in Fuzhou and exhausted, Geng finally surrendered to the Qing, collapsing the southeastern wing of the three-feudatory alliance.
