Wang Yan was in a hurry to return to Guangjing this time, the purpose was still because of the matter of Sichuan and Shu, proverbs, impeachment, and arrest were just small episodes, and after Yuan Pengnian was captured, Wang Yan did not rush to interrogate him, but locked him aside, turned his head to deal with the matter of aiding Shu, and waited a few days before mentioning him.

Wang Zhixian delayed a lot of time in Guangjing, originally thinking that after Wang Yan returned, he would be able to settle the matter immediately, but not only did he not decide, but let him personally experience a party struggle in the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days, he ran to the Ministry of Rites every day, to the Mansion of Chu State, so anxious that his mouth was full of fire bubbles, and he didn't see each other.

He Tengjiao listened to Wang Yan's suggestion, and learned that after the Qing soldiers entered Shuzhong, they dispatched 20,000 Ming troops, with Hao Shaoqi as the vanguard, walked on the road, and took the Qing army by surprise, and occupied most of the Xing'an Mansion in one fell swoop, and the soldiers reached Hanyin, which was only more than 200 miles away from Xinzheng, which made the Qing soldiers shocked.

The newspaper said that 30,000 enemies were killed, and the capture was not counted, Wang Zhixian listened to a heart and settled down, but Wang Yan was not so optimistic, with his understanding of the old man, it is estimated that he will behead 3,000 people, and he will be up to the sky.

However, since the soldiers and horses of Chu have entered Hanzhong, Wang Yan's side should also act quickly and cooperate with He Tengjiao, so as not to fight alone.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the battle of Sichuan and Shu is estimated to consume immeasurable silver, how to prepare more than one million taels first, grain and grass four or five hundred thousand stones.

After Wang Yan consulted with Zuo Maodi and Su Guansheng, he accepted the suggestion of his staff Chen Yonghua, and in order to facilitate the clarification of the relationship and facilitate management, he established the Wude Commercial Bank, borrowed 1.2 million yuan of silver from the imperial court, and 400,000 stones of grain and grass, and the imperial court handed over the Fuzhou mine to the firm to operate, and the city department repaid 200,000 yuan of silver every year.

The materials brought back by Wang Yandong's expedition were almost all exchanged for strategic materials and put into preparation for war, and in this way, some industries near Guangjing that belonged to the Wuzhong Army would be difficult to operate because of the lack of money and materials, especially the construction of armor and equipment, which required a large amount of money.

Chen Yonghua immediately suggested that Wang Yan borrow money from other firms, but the gentry did not dare to lend to the imperial court, Wang Yan was also an official, and the gentry were afraid that they would not repay the loan, but the Jinghai Commercial Bank, in which Wang Yan owned the shares, first borrowed 200,000 taels of silver for him, and the Wude firm used the newly arrived Fuzhou mine as collateral, and the sixteen firms in the city immediately borrowed 800,000 yuan in silver, with an annual interest of five cents.

After the money and grain were in place, all that remained was to transfer troops and send generals, and Zuo Maodi asked Wang Yan to add the governors of the five provinces of Wang Yan to command the troops and horses of Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Guizhou, and Sichuan to fight in Sichuan.

The governors of these five provinces, although they seem to be majestic, are actually just a name for him, Huguang has to guard against the Qing troops in Henan and Nanzhili, and not many people can be transferred, Guangxi and Guizhou will be able to command, and Sichuan will only have 10,000 counties left, and a few Tusi still listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this aid to Shu is not only for Sichuan, Wang Yan also has the intention of integrating the southwest, he now has a name, money, food, soldiers, and high morale, this battle should be fought, and Sichuan and Shu can not always be held up.

Since the vast battle of Suihu last year, and the battle of the Qing army into Fujian, the Qing army did not take the initiative to launch a war against the Ming Dynasty, this is not to say that the Qing army is not strong, but because the Qing soldiers put their strength on Zhang Xianzhong, the Western Army blocked the sword and gun for the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty had time to breathe.

On the Sichuan-Shu battlefield, how long did the Western Army fight with the Qing Army? Since the Western Army entered Hanzhong in June and July of last year, it has been fighting intermittently for nearly a year.

This is a situation that has never been seen in the history of the Qing army's war, just one place in Hanzhong, it has been repeatedly fought for more than seven months, the two armies are stubborn, and after the defeat of the Western Army in Hanzhong, the Qing soldiers bite and bite again, and then enter Sichuan.

Although Haoge did not fight well in the early stage, but after getting the support of Wu Sangui, he was bound to win Sichuan and Shu, if Haoge could take Sichuan, then his internal status in the Qing court would immediately improve, and in the Ming Dynasty, if he lost Sichuan and Shu, he would be completely passive.

To put it seriously, once Shu is lost, the entire south will be finished, because the Qing army can attack Guizhou and Guangxi from southern Sichuan, outflank them in a roundabout way, and they can go down the river to take Chu directly, on the other hand, the Ming army is passive everywhere, and it is difficult to turn the tables.

It is imperative to aid Shu, after Wang Yan was appointed by the imperial court, he immediately passed the letter to Hunan, let the loyal town and Houyong battalion that had been rested for more than half a year, 40,000 people entered Guizhou from Chenzhou, and Gao Yigong was the governor of the left army, and first collected the military power of Huang Chaoxuan and Zhang Xianbi, who were entrenched in Sizhou, Zhenyuanwei and other Guizhou prefectures and counties, and locked the two and sent them to Guangjing.

These two people, ordered to drive, the result of stagnation, almost harmed the entire court, and then feared that the court would ask for guilt, all the way to burn and loot and flee into Guizhou, when the court had just moved into Guangjing, there was nothing, all over the country was in ruins, afraid of forcing too much to make the two rebel, so they have been kind words to appease, so that the two of them started a comfortable emperor.

In this rectification of the southwest, Wang Yan can't keep them, and if he does two people, he can get 20,000 horses as the forerunner, why not!

In addition, Wang Yan sent a message to Guangxi again, transferred 10,000 Tusi wolf soldiers, transferred 20,000 people including Ding Kuichu, Chen Bangfu, and Ma Jixiang, and took Ding Kuichu as the governor of the right army, and entered Guiyang from Guangxi to meet with Zhang Yao, the envoy of Guizhou, and forced southern Sichuan.

Wang Yan selected elite men and horses in Guangdong, led the Chinese army to suppress the formation, and then in the name of the governors of the five provinces, ordered Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan to each levy 30,000 people and 1,000 ships to transport the grain and grass equipment needed by the army.

The order was conveyed, but it took time to implement it, and the entire Ming Dynasty was busy again for this war.

A few days later, the Ming army of Zhangzhou returned to Guangjing, and at the same time, a group of men and horses from the sea was the Taihu rebel army that had abandoned the south of Taihu Lake.

They were originally going to take refuge in King Lu of Zhoushan nearby, but King Lu's territory was too small, only Zhoushan, Siming Mountain, and Liupan Island remained, they had many people and little land, and their eyes were green with hunger, Zhang Mingzhen took his subordinates to Chongming under the nose of the Qing army, where could he afford to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

In the end, some of them stayed in Zhoushan, some stayed on the islands off the coast of Zhejiang, and even continued to go south by boat, and another group stayed in Jinxia, and finally more than 10,000 people remained and came to Guangjing.

This detachment, Wang Yan immediately included in Zhongyi Town, which made the emperor very unhappy.

Wang Yan was here to recruit people, transport materials, equipped with armor and equipment, and prepare for the expedition, the time gradually entered May, at this time, the latter bad news, but suddenly came, Zhang Xianzhong abandoned the city capital again, fled to Xichong, and was surrounded by Qing soldiers again.

By April of the third year of Longwu, Haoge had launched two major offensives in Xichong, and 70,000 Qing soldiers surrounded 200,000 Western troops and their families in the city, attacking them desperately.

Zhang Xianzhong was forced to be helpless, he could only choose to break through again, before he did not want his family to fall into the hands of the Qing army, his wife and concubine, and a young son were killed, and then said to Sun Kewang: "I am also a hero, I can't leave my young son to be captured, you will eventually be the son of the world." The three hundred years of orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty may not be extinct, and it is also the will of heaven. When I die, I will return to the light in a hurry, and I will not be unjust. ”

The Western Army broke through in despair, Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by Aobai, his body was divided by the chaotic army, and the defeated army of the Western Army retreated to the area of Wanxian.
