Shortly after Wang Yu received an urgent letter from Wu Sangui's messenger, someone sent another letter into the Shanghai Gun Factory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Shaanxi war report! The loyal battalion has conquered Xi'an! The three fierce generals of the Ganshan Green Battalion all surrendered! The soldiers who came sent the news from the loyal battalion from Shaanxi to Wang Yu.

"All the three fierce generals of the Ganshan Green Battalion surrendered? Zhao Liangdong, Wang Jinbao and Daniel Zhang? They actually surrendered? Wang Yu felt incredible when he heard the news.

In real history, these three people are hardcore traitors who follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty with all their hearts! From the suppression of the Thirteen Kuidong families to the later Wu Sangui rebellion, these three people personally promoted by Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, today, these three people actually surrendered to the loyalty camp, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.

Wang Yuyou asked, "How many fake Tartars have surrendered in the Ganshan Green Battalion?" ”

The messenger replied: "A total of 70,000 elite soldiers of the Green Battalion of Ganshan have surrendered, of which 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry have all laid down their arms and surrendered to the Loyal Battalion. ”

"I originally thought that Zhao Liangdong would definitely fight to the end, but I didn't expect that he would surrender!" Wang Yu sighed.

"The Ganshan Green Camp is cornered, and Luoyang in the east is occupied by Wu Sangui; The western Baoji was occupied by the Loyal Battalion; To the south is Hanzhong, which was occupied by the Jin kings. Seventy thousand soldiers of the Ganshaan-green battalion, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 100,000 people, who lacked food and grass, and had nothing to eat, all surrendered. The messenger replied.

Wang Yu asked: "It's also strange, Zhao Liangdong wouldn't think about entering Shanxi?" The road to the north has not been cut off by our army. ”

The messenger couldn't answer, but Wang Yuyou replied: "Zhao Liangdong is not stupid, if so many people go to Shanxi, what will they eat and use?" The Tartar puppet dynasty is running out of food for its own Eight Banners, so how many green battalions can be accepted? They went to Shanxi and were either deprived of military power or waited to starve to death. ”

……

The time goes back to more than five months ago, when the Loyal Battalion conquered Baoji. At that time, Yongli in Hanzhong received the news of the victory of the loyal camp, and issued a decree to crown Li Laiheng as the king of Guanzhong, and the other generals of the loyal camp also received corresponding rewards.

Taking advantage of the victory, the loyal battalion attacked east from Baoji. The army of the loyal battalion passed along the way, and the Qing army could not resist it at all. Li Laiheng still adopted the method of coercing the people, and the loyalty camp became stronger and stronger like a snowball. There are many Hui people in Shaanxi, but the loyalty camp does not care so much, all the way through, the village of Hui Hui was destroyed, and the Hui people were coerced by the loyalty camp.

It is not the first time that the army has coerced back to the people, and the old Hui Ma Shouying in the original Li Zicheng era was a Hui Hui in itself, and most of the soldiers under the command of Lao Hui Hui were Hui Hui.

After Li Laiheng conquered Baoji, he sent Hao Shaoqi to lead a group of Huihui soldiers who had followed the loyal battalion for many years, and directly entered the northern Shaanxi region to take Suide. A large number of people from northern Shaanxi returned to the loyalty camp.

Hearing that Suide was occupied by Hao Shaoqi, Zhao Liangdong urgently dispatched troops into northern Shaanxi in an attempt to encircle Hao Shaoqi's Hui army. However, Hao Shaoqi did not contact Zhao Liangdong, he conquered Suide, ransacked the surrounding villages, coerced a large number of displaced people, and then retreated westward with the displaced people, leaving only a small number of elites, using the terrain to block Zhao Liangdong.

Next, Hao Shaoqi and Li Laiheng echoed the north and south, swept the whole territory of Shaanxi, fought on mobile, looted villages everywhere, and more and more displaced people joined the loyalty camp.

Zhao Liangdong was exhausted and sent troops back and forth to intercept it, but he couldn't block the loyal battalion, so he could only watch the loyal battalion grow rapidly like a snowball. Li Laiheng then set up an ambush in the area of Ningzhou, and used the mountainous terrain around Meridian Mountain, Yangquan Mountain and Liupan Mountain to ambush Zhao Liangdong's Ganshan Green Battalion.

The exhausted Ganshan Green Battalion ran back and forth within three months, and was led by the nose by the loyal battalion. By the time they encountered the ambush of the loyal battalion, the Ganshan Green Battalion was already exhausted, and as a result, it was defeated in the Battle of Ningzhou.

Daniel Zhang, the second fierce general under Zhao Liangdong, fled back to Xi'an with the remnants of the defeated army, and the 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry he brought out suffered heavy losses, more than 5,000 were killed, more than 20,000 surrendered, and only more than 3,000 fled back to Xi'an.

After the battle of Ningzhou and the fiasco of the Ganshan Green Battalion, Zhao Liangdong was completely unable to fight with the loyal battalion.

More than a month ago, Li Laiheng, who had already swept through most of Shaanxi and eastern Gansu, led a large army to surround Xi'an.

Zhao Liangdong knew very well in his heart that if he gave up Xi'an and led his troops into Shanxi, then the Qing court would definitely hold him accountable for losing Shaanxi. As a consequence of the refusal to surrender military power, the Qing court cut off the supply of grain and grass to the Ganshan Green Battalion, and eventually they starved to death in the barren mountains of Shanxi.

Considering the consequences, Zhao Liangdong sent an envoy to negotiate with the loyal battalion, expressing his willingness to surrender.

After all, Zhao Liangdong is a fierce general, and Li Laiheng camped Zhao Liangdong to surrender to him, but Li Laiheng put forward one condition, he must slaughter Xi'an!

Zhao Liangdong agreed, and last month, Zhao Liangdong opened the city gate and put the loyal battalion army into the city.

The ancient city of Xi'an was on fire, crying and shouting everywhere, rushing into the loyal camp in the city to kill, waving butcher knives at the profiteers and gentry in the city, and countless heads fell to the ground. The worst was the Xi'an Mancheng, although the banner people living in the city put up stubborn resistance, but failed to stop the attack of the loyal battalion and Zhao Liangdong.

It took three days for the loyal battalion to conquer the city of Xi'an.

Mancheng was slaughtered, and Li Laiheng ordered to kill all the men in Xi'an. The city was slaughtered by the loyalty camp, and Zhao Liangdong, who had just surrendered to the loyalty camp, was more ruthless than Li Laiheng, and even the baby boy in swaddling clothes couldn't escape a knife. After three days and three nights of slaughter, all the men in the city were killed, and the women became slaves.

After Zhao Liangdong and Daniel Zhang surrendered, Wang Jinbao, who had fled to Gansu, saw that the general situation was gone, and also laid down his arms and surrendered to the loyal battalion with his remnants.

At this point, Shaanxi and Gansu all fell into the hands of the loyal battalion, Li Laihengbai got 70,000 elite troops, and also got three brave and invincible fierce generals, and for a time the power of the loyal battalion swelled to the extreme, and it already had the strength to compete with Wu Sangui.

"I didn't expect Li Laiheng to play so beautifully! Today's Li Laiheng has won the three generals Zhao Liangdong, Wang Jinbao and Daniel Zhang, and has obtained 70,000 Ganshan green battalions, including 20,000 cavalry! Their strength can completely compete with Wu Sangui! If Li Laiheng does not abide by our agreement and launches an attack on the Wu army, I am afraid that it will be another internal strife! Yao Qisheng said worriedly.

"You can't let Li Laiheng and Wu Sangui fight among themselves! A messenger must be sent to Shaanxi immediately! Let Li Laiheng take a temporary rest in Shaanxi for three months, and then send troops to Gansu! Wang Yu said.
