Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 225
War raged all over the south for a while. Bai Mingxiu's general Su Shuhuan, commander-in-chief of the East China Military Region, led the army to attack Jiujiang.Li Dingguo led more than 2 troops to conquer Chenzhou and Yongzhou.The Ming army stationed in Chaoshan attacked Zhangzhou by land, and attacked Kinmen and Xiamen by sea. The Minhai defense line that Li Shutai worked so hard to manage was actually broken through by the Ming army after less than three days. fall.Jin Tongwu led the First Division of the Restoration Army under the Southwest Military Region and left Badong of the Three Gorges to attack Yiling. The Qing army was still defeated after a bitter battle.

The huge Qing Dynasty, which had just won the world, was supposed to be the most prosperous and vigorous, but under the attack of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, it was as dull as an old man on the verge of death, struggling left and right, quite embarrassed.

The diversionary effect of the refugees imagined by Hong Chengchou did not happen. The terrible Nanming was resettling the victims while the army was still attacking cities and territories. At the same time, because the Qing army itself was also affected by the disaster and lacked food, a large number of Qing troops who were temporarily recruited did not have any food at all. What is the effective combat power? When facing the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army, the Ming Army often collapses upon seeing it.

Compared with a year or two ago, the Qing army was "brave and good at fighting", regardless of Manchu and Han, and it was simply a different person.

What happened, how the world has become like this, has become a big problem in the hearts of all the generals and officials of the Qing army.

Murima was trapped in Wuchang Mansion, unable to move.He was full of desire to fight at the beginning, but the failure of the Jiangnan Battle and the unfavorable start of the Huguang Battle made this Manchurian hero panic.

"These damn Han people are totally unreliable!" Mulima threw things angrily.

Originally, he and Hong Chengchou managed Huguang together, but in fact Hong Chengchou's role was more important than him as a Manchurian general.But Hong Chengchou had fallen ill, and although he had given a lot of work, and Zhou Chang and other capable staff were carrying it out, when it came to Nanming, nothing worked.

"Master, this is a letter from your brother." Baoyi bent over, and delivered a letter from Shuntian Mansion to Murima.

Murima took it quickly. Any news and instructions from the capital at this time are like rain to him.After instructing Murima to open the letter and read a few lines, she began to tremble and her face turned pale.

There was only one content in the letter, that is, Oboi told Murima that if there was any disharmony, the first task was to ensure the lives of their Eight Banners children, and immediately lead the Eight Banners back to the north. Own.Especially "loyal ministers" like Hong Chengchou who had no choice but to go all the way with the Qing court.

The content of this letter was sincere, but after reading it, Murima felt cold all over.

"Even my elder brother thinks that our Qing Dynasty is going to end? We Manchus can't beat the Han people?" This is completely anti-common sense and anti-intellectual to Murima. Since he was born and participated in the battle against the Ming people, he knew The Manchurian warriors who grew up in the bitter cold outside the pass have incomparable fighting power.

They defeated the Ming people and subdued Mongolia and North Korea. They are invincible and can win every battle.Although there is a bit of luck for them to enter the customs, the Manchus interpret it more as a kind of destiny.From the time when they first entered the customs, they themselves did not believe that they could win the world, and then they felt that the Huahua Jiangshan in the Central Plains was in their pockets, and now a group of old men who can no longer fight, a group of stinky people who have not experienced any tough battles Boy, he actually thought of returning to the outside of the customs just like their predecessors, bringing the looted property and the woman.

Murima felt extremely confused, but judging from the battle reports that came one after another, it was really impossible for their Qing army to defeat the Ming army.

"Is it enough to let the green battalion fight the Ming army? Except for the green battalion led by the Manchurian generals, Han generals will surrender when they meet the Nanming army?"

Murima is now looking up and looking around, and she can't believe anyone she sees.In fact, many of the green battalion generals stationed in Huguang are already Eight Banners, but they should lose the battle or lose. Those Han generals, large and small, would raise the Ming flag as soon as they saw that the limelight was not good, and draw a clear line with the Qing Dynasty.

Nanming's development made Manqing unable to understand and adapt to it.After the war began, the Qing court was in a state of panic.The north was also hit by a disaster, and the food in Zhili Gyeonggi could only support this winter at most.The finances of the Qing Dynasty were already in disarray, and the meager income from selling officials and nobles was not enough to fill the big pit of fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

This is why, after the Battle of Jiangnan, the Manchus sent envoys to Bai Mingxiu over and over again, knowing that losing Jiangnan would cut off their own lifelines, and wanted to negotiate peace with Nanming.Because, the Great Qing Dynasty really couldn't support it anymore.

In Shanghai, a rare man with braids sat on the sixth floor of a hotel, looking at the Huangpu River outside the window, filled with emotion.This city left him a huge shock, everything here looks like a fairy creation.The towering buildings, the smooth concrete roads, and even the bright lights of Wanjia at night made him feel as if he was in the wrong camp.

His name is Zhu Changzuo, and he is a Han army inlaid white flag. He was originally from Shandong, but when he was 12 years old, he was captured by the Qing army outside the pass and incorporated into the Han army flag.After that, he also entered the customs with the Qing army, and gradually became a high-ranking official with his ability, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"I used to think that I was plundered outside the customs and became the flag of the Han army. It was a first-class blessing. I became an important minister of the court and made a fortune. How beautiful it is, but now it seems that the braid on the back of my head has become my life-threatening talisman." Zhu Changzuo was sent to Nanming as an envoy. After he came to Shanghai, he didn't receive any courtesy, but he wasn't overly humiliated either. Naturally, it was impossible for him to meet any official of Nanming with any status, let alone the crown prince.

The war in Huguang was tight, but the Qing court had no choice but to send Zhu Changzuo to the south of the Yangtze River urgently. He was also the highest official peace negotiator sent by the Qing Dynasty.Before leaving, Zhu Changzuo paid a visit to Xiaozhuang. At that time, Xiaozhuang used a lot of strength to say the condition - to rule the river with Nanming, Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian were all handed over to Nanming, so that the Qing army could follow these conditions. Withdraw from the region in exchange for non-aggression with Nanming for ten years.

"Cultating the river, can it really be realized?" Zhu Changzuo witnessed Shanghai, and he felt that all this was a joke.The group of Tartars sitting in the Forbidden City opened their eyes like a dragon who didn't understand what it was like in the land of China.

Soon after, Zhu Changzuo was ordered to leave Shanghai. When he left, he got a poem inscribed by Prince Jian Guo of Nanming:

"Kill all the fishy smell and black water, and the white mountain is full of bearded heads!"
