Chapter 49: The King of Dian

When Zhang Xuan saw the news, he was also shocked in his heart, he had confidence in Li Dingguo, but this confidence was only based on the fact that Li Dingguo could block Sun Kewang in Guizhou and prevent Sun Kewang from affecting Hunan. never expected Li Dingguo to play so well.

With tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, more than 200,000 Ming troops were broken. and even invaded the territory of Yunnan. Surrender all these Ming troops.

made Zhang Xuan have to write a big word "service". Even if you think about it yourself, you will never be able to do this.

Sure enough, even gold can shine.

Since the defeat of the Northern Expedition, one defeat after another, hearing a lot of bad news, I can't help but feel that I have no bottom in my heart, and Li Dingguo's big victory made everyone feel shocked.

At the same time, Li Dingguo jumped up, from an unknown general to one of the most important generals in Great Xia. It can even be tied with Yuan Shizhong.

Of course, at the same time as Li Dingguo's prestige increased, Zhang Xuan's prestige also increased, and the reason was very simple, Li Dingguo's use was made by Zhang Xuanli against public opinion. For a while, the people below were all talking. It is said that Zhang Xuan's eyes are clear.

However, their joy is not as good as Zhang Xuan's.

When Zhang Xuan got the news, his first thought was to send another group of soldiers from Hunan and Guangxi.

The southwest is worry-free, Wu Sangui in the west can't move Chongqing for the time being, and Zhang Xuan's west is safe, so it is possible to use troops in other places.

Therefore, this victory brought Zhang Xuan at least 50,000 mobile troops.

"Your Highness, General Li solves the danger in the southwest, I don't know how to reward him?" Zhang Zhen said.

Zhang Zhen is now also accustomed to the position of chief civil officer next to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan did not put more effort into civil affairs in Xijing, Zhang Xuan himself is one of the cabinet bachelors, when the other cabinet members are short, he leads the cabinet affairs and becomes the actual prime minister.

Some administrative affairs were handled by him on behalf of Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "Feng Li Dingguo is the king of Yunnan, the governor of Sichuan, Yun, and the military affairs of the three provinces of Gui, and he has the right to act cheaply and behead first." ”

Zheng Lian listened on the side, his hand that was recording Zhang Xuan's words, shook slightly, and a bean-sized ink dripped on the paper, this piece of fine rice paper was considered a waste.

Zheng Lian has always been Zhang Xuan's personal person, and he doesn't dare to say that he has seen people, but he has also experienced strong winds and waves, but Zhang Xuan's order still surprised Zheng Lian, Zhang Xuan will simply give Li Dingguo the power to stand on his own.

First of all, Li Dingguo has a foundation in the Great Western Army. Now the situation is that Li Dingguo is the leader of the Great Western Army, more than the generals of Great Xia, so that Li Dingguo has so much initiative that he can almost be divided.

Zhang Zhen also asked softly, "Your Highness, is it too heavy?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Now is the time to boost the morale of the upper and lower levels, and non-heavy rewards are not enough to motivate people. Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi are all titled, you go and arrange a better title. ”

"Yes." Zhang Zhen said.

Zhang Xuan knew their worries, but first, he trusted Li Dingguo's heart, and second, he wanted time.

Even if Li Dingguo had other ideas, it would not be immediately there, but in a year or two.

And a year or two later, Zhang Xuan would have recaptured Nanjing, even if he couldn't recapture Nanjing, he would have taken this breath. At least not so much as the current strength is overstretched.

Zhang Xuan arranged his meaning below, and the rest of the things were arranged by Zhang Qian.

Zhang Xuan also focused on other things, and said, "How is Jinhua now?" ”

Under Zhang Xuan's mobilization, all the units reached the front line and had a relatively clear front with the Qing army, mainly with Anqing as the center, blocking the Yangtze River.

Because of the mountains between Jiangxi and Nanzhili, this is not the main battlefield.

However, the battle of Jinhua was in full swing.

Zhang Xuan also paid special attention to this point, because it was related to the morale of the military below. Zhang Xuan has a lot of Zhejiang army officers under his command. Even Xu Du wrote several times and asked Zhang Xuan to transfer him from Xiangyang to Jiangxi.

However, under the urgency of the war, it is impossible to imagine the unprovoked transfer of the army.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but pay attention to the morale of the military below.

Zhang Zhen said: "Your Highness, the battle of the siege of Jinhua has been going on for a month, and internal and external news has been cut off, however, the prefect of Jinhua Mansion has the intention of surrendering and has been executed by General Xu Jiaying. With the assistance of Yan Yingyuan, the civil official of Jinhua and Tongzhi, the supplies were temporarily abundant, and there were also ten artillery pieces at the head of the city. In addition, the Jinhua city wall has also been reinforced, and the Qing army could not attack it for a while. Just ----"

Zhang Xuan said: "Just what? ”

Zhang Zhen sighed and said: "The prefectures and counties around Jinhua have all fallen, and it has become a lonely city, with no soldiers to help outside, and no city to defend inside. I'm afraid Jinhua will ---- in the future."

Zhang Xuan got up and paced back and forth, and said, "Do you think it's time to rescue Jinhua?" ”

Zhang Zhen said: "This matter should be judged by His Royal Highness." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Let Zhang Xianbi take the people of the headquarters to rescue Jinhua." ”

He thought about it repeatedly, and after all, he couldn't see death without help.

Zhang Xuan decided to send an army from Jiangxi to rescue Jinhua Mansion through Quzhou Prefecture. But Zhang Xuan is now holding up such a long front, and his troops are not abundant. So this rescue is just an encouragement in terms of momentum. It is impossible to break the siege.

Sending Zhang Xianbi over also has a hint of strategic considerations.

If Zheng Chenggong really occupied Nanjing, Zhang Xuan would naturally have a bridgehead to send troops to Zhejiang. Be prepared.

Zhang Xuan's order was transmitted to Nanjing, and then Zhang Su gave the order. It will take a while to send troops again.

However, Zhang Xuan's order soon spread to Yunnan.

Just when Li Dingguo was about to lead a large team of people into Kunming. To everyone's surprise. Including Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo knew that Zhang Xuan's rewards and punishments were clear.

But I didn't expect that Zhang Xuan's reward was so high. He was crowned king alone, such as Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, and other five or six people, knights, marquises, earls, etc., it can be said that Zhang Xuan single-handedly divided a faction of the Great Western Army among the nobles of Great Xia.

The title or something, Li Dingguo was a little surprised, but it was just surprise. But Li Dingguo's position moved him. The power of this ** party. Let him do things in Yunnan without a little constraint. It also made Li Dingguo feel Zhang Xuan's trust.

However, this makes Liu Wenxiu and others more at ease.

It can be said that after this news came, the military was settled.

Li Dingguo did everything much smoother.

Immediately, Li Dingguo swore an oath in Qujing, and after receiving supplies from the rear, the army marched west to Kunming.

Kunming never thought that such a change would occur on Qujing's side, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and then Yongli frantically wooed Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi. and even opened the prince one by one. But the more so, Liu Wenxiu, Ainengqi didn't care at all.

It's just that the distance from Qujing to Kunming is not far, but after they arrived in Kunming, Yongli was no longer there.

Yongli adheres to Zhu Ranran's nature and has fled to Dali. Yang Weizhi stayed in Kunming.

However, Kunming has been operated by the Great Western Army for a long time, and Yang Weizhi cannot clean up their influence in a short time, so after the army surrounded Kunming, the city of Kunming was breached in just a few days. Yang Weizhi naturally died unyieldingly.

The army repaired in Kunming for several days, and then divided its troops into several routes and moved south again.

Yunnan was already under the control of the Great Western Army Group, and even if there was a repetition, it would be very easy to re-settle. It's just that Yongli's running talent is quite strong, and there are not many people who follow Yongli's side at the moment, but they are still hiding among the toasts in various places.

Tusi from all over the country also have some dissatisfaction with the Great Western Army Group by relying on the high mountains and roads. Therefore, under the protection of these land snakes, Li Dingguo could not find the eternal calendar for a while.

However, Li Dingguo does not have much obsession with whether he can catch Yongli. However, the internal affairs of Yunnan are not so easy to sort out. Therefore, for a while, Li Dingguo did not want to use troops to go south.

Li Dingguo's side has come to an end. In Jiangxi, Zhang Xianbi went out of Guangxin Mansion and entered Quzhou Mansion. The battle of Jinhua also fell into the **. Li Chengdong attacked the city in every possible way, and Jinhua City was already in danger.
