Chapter 683: Encircling and suppressing the rebels

The third year of Longwu was a year of ups and downs, both for the Qing court in the north and the Ming dynasty in the south.

From the Mindong Campaign at the beginning of the year, to the aid of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the first half of the year, and the later Chu-Jiangxi War, Lu Jianguo entered the Yangtze River twice, and the war was wave after wave, and it seemed that it was about to push to the Ming and Qing dynasties to fight a decisive battle, but at this time, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn, and the Ming and Qing dynasties actually negotiated peace.

This foreplay has been done enough, and it always feels a little weird to stop playing suddenly.

At the beginning of December, the two sides reached an agreement, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to let He Wusu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, go north, in order to urge the Qing court to quickly fulfill the peace agreement, but He Wusu said that he was ill and did not want to go north, and several scholars were unwilling to go north, so he had to promote Huang Renlong, who was transferred from Jiangxi to Guangjing, and gave him the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and ordered him to go.

The two imperial courts fought hotly, but they suffered the rebels of the two Huai and Jiang Hao in Shanxi.

In the area of Guishan, Duliang Mountain, and Hongze Lake near Sizhou, Fengyang Prefecture, there is an anti-Qing rebel army active here.

Ma Guanghui, who had dismissed the governors of the three provinces, was leading 20,000 green battalions to encircle and suppress the largest bandits near the Huai River.

The leader of this rebel army is the original Shou Zhang Lian general Ding Weichang, who followed Xie Qian from the southeast of the mountain to an armed force, originally they had jumped into Huainan, but with the Cao Yun was opened up by Hong Chengchou, Duoduo got food, and he was able to encircle and suppress the righteous army hiding in the hilly areas of northern Jiangsu for a long time, Xie Qian was under too much pressure, so he sent several troops and horses, and jumped out of Duoduo's blockade and killed to the periphery, in order to disperse the Qing army and relieve Xie Qian's pressure.

Ding Weichang only took 1,000 subordinates, jumped out of the encirclement, and killed Xuyi and Sizhou, but after breaking through Xuyi, the people quickly expanded the team to more than 10,000 people, they were between Huai'an, Fengyang, and Yangzhou, robbing homes and houses, plundering grain, and seriously damaging the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the three provinces.

Ma Guanghui is now appointed as the governor of Jiangbei, and Duoduo's main force is to deal with Xie Qian, and his main task is to destroy this rebel army that has escaped from the encirclement.

Beginning in January, in order to stabilize various places and quell civil strife, Hong Chengchou began to publicize the matter of peace between the Ming and Qing dynasties, originally Jiangnan, Lianghuai, Shandong and other places, did not believe Hong Chengchou's propaganda, but soon after, the Ming envoy Huang Renlong and others appeared in Nanjing, Hong Chengchou received it with great fanfare, and then sent people and horses to beat gongs and drums to send him north, just like street performances, people from all over the country could not help but believe it.

Anyway, after all the peace was negotiated, what kind of desperate efforts did they fight, which made the anti-Qing forces in various places slowly hibernate and unwilling to consume their own forces, and also disrupted the original plan of meeting the Yangtze River, and the overall environment of the anti-Qing struggle began to deteriorate.

The most notable point was that the gentry secretly provided less food and grass for the rebels.

After Ding Weichang's troops arrived in Sizhou and Xuyi, with the expansion of the team, and the two Huai were dilapidated, it was difficult to hold on.

In the southeast of Xuyi, near the Dacangling Ridge between Fengyang Mansion and Chuzhou Mansion, Ma Guanghui led 20,000 horses to ambush among the mountains and forests.

Behind a big rock, Ma Guanghui looked a little worried, this was the first battle from the new command after he was taken down, he got the information, Ding Guowei was ready to withdraw from Lianghuai, to develop in Dabie Mountain, close to Huguang, but he had been in ambush for a day, and the bandits had not yet appeared, so he was a little worried.

Li Youlong, the strategist next to him, said with a smile: "Don't worry about the military gate, if the bandits want to wander into Chudi, they will not dare to go on the avenue, and they can only take the border between Fengyang and Chuzhou." This battle will definitely be completed. ”

Ma Guanghui looked into the distance and sighed, "I hope!" ”

With Hong Chengchou opening up the Cao Yun, the Manchu Qing encirclement and suppression army had sufficient food, the Lianghuai gathered a large number of encirclement and suppression troops, the Qing court had strong troops, and the Lianghuai was no longer suitable for the righteous army to fight, Ding Weichang wanted to withdraw from the Lianghuai, which was expected by him.

Xie Qian, who is hidden in the mountainous area of northern Jiangsu, is afraid that he will not last long.

At this time, Li Youlong whispered to Ma Guanghui again: "There are at least more than 10,000 bandits in this group of bandits in the military gate now, if the military gate can collect a group and select the elite to be included in the army, the strength of the military gate can be expanded a lot." ”

Ma Guanghui also wanted to strengthen his own strength, but he was afraid that the Qing court would blame him for this, and the regent was still very strict with the Han generals.

Li Youlong seemed to know his thoughts, and sneered, "Since King Su seized Sichuan and Shaanxi, their Manchu strength has been greatly damaged, and the Qing Dynasty still has to rely on us Han people, we have to pay so much effort for the imperial court, and the Manchu people should also give up some benefits to us, and it is nothing for the military gate to co-opt some thieves, as long as there are soldiers in hand, the military gate can sit back and relax." ”

The internal division of the Qing Dynasty, the external strength of the Eight Banners, was completely exposed, in the past, everyone was afraid of the strength of the Eight Banners, and did not dare to say anything, but now it is inevitable that some other thoughts will be born. The Qing Dynasty was not defeated by the Manchus on their own, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the green camps in various places also contributed to it, and now the Manchus are declining, so should we give more benefits to the Han people?

Ma Guanghui was taken down by Duoduo last time, and he also ate the board, if Duoduo killed Xie Qian, then he thought that his skills were not as good as others, and he ate it, but the problem was that Duoduo didn't do anything about Xie Qian, and in the end he still had to rely on him, so he would inevitably feel a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he ate the board for no reason.

Ma Guanghui secretly thought in his heart that Duoduo didn't treat him as a human being, and it was indeed because although he was the governor, the green battalion under his command was transferred from all over the country, not his direct subordinates, and he had few soldiers, so Duoduo could pinch it if he wanted to, and he was not afraid that he would have a temper.

Li Youlong looked at him and then whispered: "Junmen, I heard that King Su's side has abolished the shaving order, and newly compiled 60,000 Han and eight banners, and the status of the Han people has been greatly improved. ”

This person has a scale in his heart, even if he is a traitor, he naturally hopes that his status will be higher and higher, and Dolgon is anxious to use Han to control Han, that is, because the Han people's heart is unstable, and the control of the Qing court center over the place has begun to weaken.

Ma Guanghui listened and thought slightly.

At this moment, in the distance, where the two mountains meet, a battle flag suddenly appeared, and the volunteer soldiers wrapped in bloated battle jackets galloped across dozens of inferior horses, the sound of hooves became more and more urgent, and muddy water splashed. There were not many people in this group, only a dozen people, and the formation was loose, but if you looked closely, all the knights looked around vigilantly from time to time.

They looked at the mountains on both sides, and without stopping too long, they continued to gallop forward to explore the way.

After the cavalry left, Ma Guanghui peeked out from behind the boulder and said in a deep voice: "The sentinels who explored the road have passed, and the main force of the bandits will definitely arrive later." Pass on the order of the commander, and the whole army is ready! ”

The generals behind him responded in unison, and in the blink of an eye, they drilled back to the various ambushed hills.

About half an hour passed, and sure enough, a noisy sound came, and countless people and horses poured into the two mountains, mixed with foot and horse, and the formation was even more loose. Ding Weichang only led 1,000 men, and the contingent expanded tenfold in less than two months, and the quality of the army can be imagined.

In the midst of the army, a tall veteran with a long beard, extremely powerful, straddled his sword and stopped at the side of the road, urging the soldier to move quickly, his eyes looked around from time to time, he knew that most of his subordinates were rabble, so he had to be extremely cautious.

At this time, the front was about to pass through the Dacangling, and the team behind was still rushing in, but everything was normal, and there was no change in the slightest, and he couldn't help but be a little glad in his heart, and chose this trail between the two prefectures to march and avoid the main force of the Qing army in the city.

It's a pity that he didn't know that when he looked around, there were people looking at him behind the big rocks on the mountainside.

Ma Guanghui saw this vastness, holding all kinds of weapons, wearing all kinds of clothes and armor, and the bandits who drove donkey carts, mules and horses entered the encirclement, Ma Guanghui's face was cold, and he immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Kill!" ”

On the mountainsides on both sides, there was a sudden "boom" of cannons, and the Qing soldiers who were ambushed on both sides stood up instantly, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once!
