Lord of Ming Dynasty

Shang Kexi lost all the troops he had received from his good brother Kong Youde, and then ran into the deep mountains of Yungui.

It can be said that he was unlucky.

He didn't expect that after a few years, the Yongli Daming army would use firearms just like the Huaxia Army, and he couldn't lift his head. In front of the new army, they were vulnerable.

In Guilin Mansion, Feng Quan was also deeply worried. He didn't expect that he just went back to discuss with Hong Chengchou, and then came back. Of the 30 troops brought by Gurtai, only [-] remnants and defeated generals who are quite afraid of firearms are left.

About [-] to [-] troops fled, and [-] to [-] troops were captured and missing. Mangurtai sent out the existing gathered troops to investigate. After knowing that the Nanming Army had withdrawn, they reoccupied Yongfu County and recovered the previous losses. Ten of the fifteen counties in China are limited to the surrounding areas of Guilin Mansion and the north and west, the counties in the east, and the counties in the south. The Nanming Army did not give up, but sent troops to guard them.

Although there are not many troops, Mang Gurtai dare not fight at all. Who knows if the Nanming Army will attack with another [-] troops, so now Mang Gurtai can only hide in Guilin Mansion , dawdling with Gao Zhixiang all day long, wanting to completely gain control of the Guilin Mansion, but Gao Zhixiang had already received Kong Youde's order to withdraw his troops and return, so he firmly controlled the Guilin Mansion without giving him the slightest chance.

Mang Gurtai had to discuss with Feng Quan who came back, Feng Quan had no choice but to respect Kong Youde, even the court, who made him a prince?

After the Qing army entered the customs, they relied on them as vanguards, sweeping across the entire country, and now the situation is not as good as others. Dorgon still wants to use Kong Youde and his gang. Feng Quan also offended Kong Youde too deeply, so he can only ask Hong Chengchou Report.

With a swipe of his pen, Hong Chengchou brought back tens of thousands of troops from Ma Degong brothers, and continued to use Ma Degong brothers to contain Kong Youde's troops while strengthening Mangurtai's troops.

A few days later, the Ma Degong brothers returned to the Guilin Mansion before Kong Youde, and the two were filled with admiration, but after this round, the brothers probably offended Kong Youde deeply, and dug away Kong Youde's [-] troops. Having poached Kong Youde's [-] troops, it can be said that these traitors who were in a panic and had a little bit of humanity in the past have been torn apart at the moment, and they no longer have the same friendship as before.

The interpersonal relationship in Guangxi Prefecture has become complicated.

Their brothers had no other choice but to rely on Feng Quan and fall to the court at the same time, and to Mang Gurtai, the representative of the court.

Of course there is still a way to go, anyway, fall to Yongli Daming, and then lead troops to Huguang in which situation is more complicated to separate and claim the king, in front of the officials of Yongli Daming, doing the same obedience as He Tengjiao announced things.

However, the situation in Huguang is much more complicated than that in Guangxi. The rebel armies from all walks of life attacked each other here, fought against the Qing army, fought against the Yongli Daming, and at the same time cooperated with each other to attack the Qing Dynasty together. The Huaxia Army in Yuezhou Mansion is a hard rock that no force wants to touch. Therefore, although Zhang Qiang deliberately opened a hole in Yuezhou Mansion, he withdrew the people and a large number of troops, leaving only some garrison troops, but all parties The forces still dare not take the idea of ​​Yuezhou government.

After Longwu Nanming learned of Su Zhengqing's victory over the Qing army, Longwu Zhu Yujian and Su Guansheng combined and immediately sent two troops, one to sweep up the remaining cities of the Qing army along the coast, regain the occupied land, and advance to the coast of Guangxi Prefecture , hit all the way to the Yunnan border, then straightened up and began to stabilize the occupied territory.

The other fought from the south to the north, and then went west along the border between Guangxi and Guangdong. They recovered many times the territory occupied by the Qing army's counterattack, then passed through Liuzhou Prefecture, and continued to fight west until the The border between Yunnan Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, and then began to station to stabilize the border.

Most of the territory in the south of Guangxi Prefecture was occupied.

Guangxi prefecture only left several counties and places close to Yunnan prefecture on Southwest Middle Road not to occupy, because intelligence showed that Kong Youde was engaged in a tug-of-war with Li Dingguo's troops who came there. Li Dingguo occupied where, while Kong Youde continued to bypass the surrounding The occupied county fled to Guilin Mansion.

Along the way, Li Dingguo did not attack the city occupied by the Nanming Army, but just chased him all the way, gradually approaching Liuzhou Mansion and Guilin Mansion.

The territory to the south of Guilin Mansion was occupied by the Qing army in Mangurtai.

Guangxi Prefecture is so clearly occupied by three forces, forming a scene of three parties fighting for hegemony.

Su Zhengqing, who was led by Li Dingguo to chase after Kong Youde's troops, had to gather [-] new troops, [-] soldiers, and [-] civilians to meet Li Dingguo's troops. The Nanming Army occupied most of Guangxi Prefecture. Li Dingguo was taken away by the people of Ming Dynasty forever. This matter can be big or small, but in terms of territory and court face, the two sides may not give in to each other.

A few days later, Li Dingguo's army approached the city of Liuzhou Prefecture. Kong Youde's troops fled into Guilin Prefecture under the support of Gao Zhixiang.

At the same time, Kong Youde's troops fled into the tall Guilin Mansion, with fresh troops and nearly [-] Qing troops to protect him. He came from a long way, and his soldiers were exhausted. With his own soldiers, he ran into Liuzhou Mansion to reminisce with Wang Deren.

One day later, Su Zhengqing, who came in a hurry, led an army of [-] troops and stationed outside the city. He also brought his own soldiers into the city to meet Li Dingguo, and Wang Deren reconciled.

What was before several people was how to deal with Li Dingguo's cross-border attack on the Qing army.

4Chapter 16 The two of them hooked up

Instigated by Zhang Qiang, Longwu Nanming fought a close battle with the Qing army, completely disabled Kong Youde, consumed nearly 20 troops of the Qing army, and reversed the situation that the Qing army had been oppressing Nanming.

Looking at it now, if the Qing army did not send more troops to Guangxi Prefecture, relying on the original Kong Youde remnant soldiers and the Ma Degong brothers who were reluctantly sent back, Mang Gurtai was frightened by the beating and had a fear of the Nanming army. It seems that there are so many troops, but in fact everyone knows that they can no longer pose a threat to the Nanming Army.

On the contrary, after Yongli Daming was shamelessly attacked by monk Kong Youde, he returned to the army angrily and led the [-] elite Yongli Ming army to oppress Kong Youde's Guilin Mansion. The brothers even huddled in the two county towns south of Guilin Mansion shivering, not daring to make any movement, while Kong Youde was even louder, startled three times a night, and repeatedly wanted to propose to Hong Chengchou, who was in charge of the southern war situation, to escape to Huguang.

Feng Quan, who was sitting in Guilin Mansion, also had a headache, and asked Hong Chengchou for reinforcements again.

Hong Chengchou had to transfer the Qing army led by Prince Jierhalang from Huguang. For this reason, he played the Manchu Qing court many times and made statements to Dorgon. The Qing Army's new army pulled cannons and stationed in Guilin Mansion. In this way, the strength of the Qing Army increased to more than 20 troops. In Hong Chengchou's view, it was already very good. 20 troops can at least stabilize the situation here. .

However, he did not expect that there were only [-] towns of new Qing troops left in his Yangtze River defense line. In order to fill the gap in Huguang's troops, he transferred three more towns of Qing troops to Huguang, and [-] Qing troops in the green battalion. Go to reinforce Huguang.

Because Huguang is not quiet, Li Guo's Loyalty Battalion may come back from Henan Province to attack Hubei Province at any time, and then rush into Huguang, attack the Qing army defending the city, take down one or two counties, and come up when the Qing army encircles them. time, slipped away again.

He Tengjiao is like a roller coaster. These few days when the Qing army overwhelmed him, he fled with his troops. When the Qing army moved away, he came back again. Not out of Huguang.

Perhaps he did not wipe out thousands of Qing troops, but instead harmed many rebels and rebels in Huguang and Yongli Nanming, and even the common people, but he also held back nearly [-] troops of the Qing army, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Han court. .

The reason why Hong Chengchou didn't notice these changes was because of Lu State, Zhu Yihai and Zhang Huangyan of Lu State fought many battles with tens of thousands of people on Chongming Island. , Take down one or two counties, and then the Qing army came and defeated him again to regain the county. Zhang Huangyan fled back to Chongming Island with the remnants of his troops, continued to lick his wounds, gathered troops, and defended against the counterattacking Qing army.

Although Zheng Chenggong was not very happy with the Lu court, he still devoted himself to his duties. Every time he provided cover for Lu's attacking troops, he defeated the navy of the Qing army many times in water battles, so that the navy of the Qing army can only maintain Just close to the shore, defending on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but unable to attack Chongming Island on a large scale and completely wipe out the State of Lu.

Here, Zhang Qiang's plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The [-] troops were dispatched one after another, and Xiao Fei led these troops to quietly enter the Yuezhou Prefecture. Although the Qing army also found out what was wrong here and mobilized troops, their deployment in Huguang was still not many, and they were still very scattered. The defense of the Huaxia Army is not very tight.

After Zhang Qiang arranged everything, he went back to the center and met Zhu Panpan for the first time in several years. The relationship between the two has eased a little. Zhu Panpan has matured and is not as childish as before. , showing the politeness of a lady and the shrewdness of a businessman in every gesture.

The two chatted very speculatively, which made Zhu Dadian, who was looking forward to Zhu Panpan becoming Zhang Qiang's woman, very happy. He was more polite and courteous to Zhang Qiang after he recovered, and he vaguely regarded himself as a father-in-law, but he was very fond of Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang is very respectful.

Zhang Qiang also received information from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Supervision. Zhu Dadian's return this time is no longer the style of a corrupt official like before.

Shared a large part of the work for Zhou Porridge.

And Zhou Porridge actually started a relationship with Jin Sheng's daughter in his free time. The two were detected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs officials many times for secret dating and went sightseeing together.

But Wei Wuji was still guarding the Jinling Mansion hard, staring at Hong Chengchou's movements on the other side, not daring to relax at all.

But Tang Dianfeng, who was transferred to the Guangzhou government, sent Zhang Qiang a memorial, talking about the recent movements of the Southern Ming Army and the Yongli Daming Army.

Zhang Qiang read it carefully.

According to the report of the Ministry of Military Intelligence and Tang Dianfeng's contacts with Nanming officials, Nanming and Yongli Daming reconciled for the first time. Wen Anzhi took the initiative to go to Nanming from thousands of miles away, and the two reached a cooperation intention.

Wen Anzhi is old, but he is the highest court official of Yongli Daming in the territory of Ming Dynasty, the head of civil officials, sitting in Sichuan, firmly controlling the Dashun of Kuidong and some military generals of the rest of Daxi, leading them to fight with Hauge , Wu Sangui and other main forces of the Qing army fought against each other, and also made a lot of achievements. They are more loyal and upright, loyal to Yongli Daming, and they are smarter and know how to be flexible. Even Li Chengdong respects him a little bit, and sometimes listens to him. to accept his orders.

According to this information, Wen An and Long Wu Zhu Yujian and Su Guansheng reached a series of cooperation agreements.

The two are brothers, and they will respect each other in the future and will not invade each other's territory. If the Qing army comes to contain the enemy's army, the other party will mainly deal with the Qing army that invaded the other's territory. They will not invade each other without the invitation of the other party. territory.

This article was mainly proposed by Longwu Nanming, because Li Dingguo's troops are now powerful, and the Nanming army, which has just fought a decisive battle with the Qing army, is adjusting and replenishing its troops, and the area of ​​the defending territory has suddenly expanded a lot, and its strength is stretched. They can suppress and fight, but they are unable to attack again. If Yongli Daming takes the opportunity to enter their hinterland, they will not be able to regroup the scattered Southern Ming army. In such a vast territory, there are many mountains and waters. A place with complex terrain can contain the Yongli Daming's attack.

So they adopted high-level negotiations and sacrificed some interests to reach a peace agreement in exchange for the other party's non-invasion, in exchange for time to retrain troops, recruit troops, and digest the newly occupied territory of Guangxi Prefecture.

The benefit they promised to Yongli Daming is that the [-] captives of the Qing army captured this time will be handed over to Li Dingguo's [-], Wen'an's [-], and they will consume [-]. Let Li Dingguo's army garrison in the county seat become the territory of Yongli Daming. The condition is that after Li Dingguo conquers Guilin Mansion, the territory from Guilin Mansion to Huguang and the border of Yunnan-Guizhou Prefecture will be handed over to the Nanming Army.

In this way, the Southern Ming army could directly face the Qing army, and at the same time, it obtained a territory that was beneficial to itself and a roughly complete Guangxi Prefecture, which nearly doubled its territory. This was a win-win situation for both parties.

The Nanming army provided food, ammunition, guns, and cannons to the attacking Li Dingguo's department, but did not participate in the Li Dingguo's attack, because Li Dingguo's department did not want the Nanming army to participate in his revenge. Li Dingguo was also very individual.

The Nanming Army only raided the formation for the Yongli Daming Army in Liuzhou Prefecture, covering the rear of the Yongli Daming Army, and providing logistical guarantees.

This is the first cooperation between Yongli and Nanming since the Qing army entered the customs.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang had to admire Zhu Yujian, the emperor, who was very shrewd, good at using various forces, good at compromise, forbearance, and patience.
