The Qing army was defeated, losing more than 2,000 people, losing artillery, and even Lu Qianzong died in the chaos. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, the barbarians rebelled and played the banner of great rebellion! There were more than 10,000 barbarians who rebelled, and although the minions led the army to resist desperately and killed more than 3,000 enemies, they were outnumbered, losing more than 2,000 brothers and losing their artillery. "Xuan Yi returned to the mansion to report to Xuan Guoan.

Lian Guoan was furious: "You dog minion! Follow me for so many years, and lie about the military! Those generals in the imperial court are trying to coax the emperor! The old man is your master, do you think you can deceive me? Defeat is defeat, and truthful retribution is! ”

"Sir!" Xuan Yi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave is guilty!" The barbarians rebelled, gathered more than 5,000 thieves, the minions were incompetent, and they were ambushed by mistake, and they hoped that the lord would punish the crime! ”

Lian Guoan shook his head helplessly: "Now that the situation is festering to this point, it's not your fault!" In the past few years since Sigege returned to Guangxi, he was bent on reducing or reducing military salaries for the sake of the imperial court, and the original intention was to force Wu Sangui to cut the domain, but he treated our brothers in Guangxi badly! Sigege is still young, and she can't be in a hurry to cut the domain, she is only afraid that she will force Wu Sangui to rebel! Here in Guangxi, if it weren't for the old man's still holding back, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers in Guangxi would have rebelled! ”

"Sir!" Xuanyi couldn't cry.

"Okay, you go down, the old man wants to rest!" Lian Guoan waved his hand.

The Qing army's campaign against wolves in Guangxi ended in failure, and only recruited more than 300 native soldiers before and after, but it lost more than 3,000 people in total, which made Guangxi, which was originally insufficient in troops, even more precarious.

Lying on the sickbed, Xuan Guoan turned over and over, thinking about this matter all the time, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Originally, he had a year to live, but he died of exhaustion that night.

"Daddy!"

"Sir!"

It was night, and there was a cry in the Guangxi Governor's Mansion.

Three days later, Bai Wenxuan attacked Liuzhou. The Qing army stationed in Liuzhou was demoralized and had no intention of fighting, and Bai Wenxuan conquered Liuzhou almost effortlessly, and the army went straight to Guilin.

It was also because of the inconvenient transportation and the extremely slow communication speed back then. After the Ming army in Guilin learned the news of the violent death of Lian Guoan, they were unable to send the news to Guangdong for a long time. And Wang Xinyu, who was in Guangdong, only knew that Bai Wenxuan had raised troops to enter Guangxi and take Nanning, but he didn't know that Liuzhou had also succeeded.

In the city of Guangzhou, Wang Xinyu saw thirteen grids.

I saw that this little Gege has handsome facial features, and his skin is white and tender like fat, although his figure and posture are inferior to Miss Qian, but the pure temperament exuded by his body is very unique.

"Sure enough, it's a little beauty embryo! It's a pity that she is the daughter of an old traitor, otherwise she would have wanted it. It's okay to give it to Yanping Wang Zheng Cong! Wang Xinyu said secretly.

The war report from Guangxi came with the news that the Ming army had conquered Nanning. In addition, the death of Lian Guoan, the rebellion of the wolf soldiers, and the news that Liuzhou has been conquered are unknown.

"My Ming Dynasty has conquered Nanning, so we don't need to wave Guilin anymore! Just hand over Guilin to General Bai! Our army should deal with it to the north, go up the current and reach Shaozhou! As long as Shaozhou is taken, you can enter Huguang. Wang Yuyou proposed.

Wang Xinyu asked a little uncomforted: "There are many cavalry and few infantry among the Baiwen players, if it is a field battle, it will not be a problem." If it is a siege, Guilin can be regarded as a strong city, and Lian Guoan is a famous general! With General Bai's little strength, can he take Guilin? ”

Wang Yuyou said with a smile: "Lian Guoan has been sick in bed for many years, the Qing army in Guangxi cut military spending because of Kong Sizhen, except for Kong Sizhen's own direct troops who have been annihilated by Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling, the morale of the rest of the Qing army is not high, and Lian Guoan has the intention to serve the Qing dog puppet court, but his soldiers don't buy it!" And we annihilated the main forces of Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen under Xinhui City, there are not many Tartars in Guilin, and General Bai will win this battle! ”

Wang Xinyu said: "If our army goes from Guilin, it will not only join forces with General Bai, but also enter the Xiangjiang River by the Lingqu waterway, and then go downstream, which can give full play to the power of the sailor and reduce a lot of logistical pressure." ”

"Going to Guilin can reduce the logistical pressure, but it can't form a flanking attack on the Hunan Tartars. A slap to hit a mosquito can only beat away the mosquito; Two slaps to slap mosquitoes to death. Now that the Hunan Tartars are weak, our army does not need to concentrate a fist to fight, but has to consider how to annihilate them all. Wang Yuyou said.

In the end, Wang Xinyu and Wang Yuyou reached an agreement: the troops were divided into three routes, with Jiang Zhiping leading a small army into Jiangxi, leading the mountain army operating in the Jinggang Mountain area of Jiangxi, crossing Jiangxi and reaching Yuezhou; In addition, Liu Guoxuan led a detachment of divisions, took the sailor ship, arrived in Guilin, joined Bai Wenxuan, and then took the Lingqu and entered Hunan; In the end, the main force of the Qiongzhou Army advanced north from Guangzhou, attacked Shaozhou, captured Shaozhou, and then entered Hunan from Chenzhou.

The three-way army was flanked, and Jiang Zhiping's mountain army detoured back to Yuezhou to cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Changsha; The main force of the Ming army is expected to join Bai Wenxuan's army in the Hengzhou area, and the two armies will attack Changsha.

After capturing Changsha, the Ming army could give full play to the power of the naval division, enter Dongting Lake, and then enter the Yangtze River to engage the Qing army's naval division. In the end, the decisive battlefield in the south is estimated to be in the Wuchang area. According to Wang Yuyou's analysis, it is impossible for Aobai to use the tactics of adding oil and constantly throwing troops into Hunan, but will choose to rely on Wuchang and the surrounding cities and cities as defenses, and start a life-and-death decisive battle with the Ming army in the Wuchang area.

"As soon as Huguang is defeated, our army will stabilize the south! From then on, we and the Tartars temporarily crossed the river to rule! And Wu Sangui will also decisively throw himself at us! Wang Yuyou stroked his beard and smiled.

As for Jiangning, that is, Nanjing, Geng Jingzhong has arrived in Jiangning. With Geng Jingzhong's chess piece in Jiangning, Jiangning is actually already in the pocket of the Ming army and can be taken off at any time. It's just that the Ming army has no plans to attack Jiangning immediately, and if it wants to take Jiangning, it still needs to see the decisive battle of Wuchang. As long as the Ming army is under the city of Wuchang, Zhang Huangyan and Fang Yizhi, who stayed in the south of the Yangtze River, can send troops to attack Jiangning.

At that time, because the main force of Aobai was in Wuchang, there was no time to take care of Jiangning. Although Zhang Huangyan's Zhejiang army was not as effective as the Qiongzhou army and the Fujian army, it had Geng Jingzhong's elite troops as the internal response, and after taking Jiangning, he could not hold it at all.

The war in Guangxi was secretly arranged by Wu Sangui in Guangxi and sent back to Kunming.

Kunming, Wuhua Mountain Pingxi Wangfu Villa, Wu Sangui, Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Gao Dejie, Ma Bao and other civil and military officials and generals of Pingxi Wangfu gathered together. When the war report from Guangxi arrived, it was Wu Sangui's meticulous work who risked the danger and adopted the method of changing people without changing horses, and rode a Yunnan horse that was good at running in the mountains, and sent it to Kunming in an expedited manner of 600 li.

Limited by the speed of intelligence transmission that year, the only battle reports sent were the Ming army's conquest of Nanning and the rebellion of Tusi in Guangxi.

"The Ming army invaded Nanning, and Guangxi Tusi also rebelled! The news from Guangdong, Shang Kexi is over! In the next battle of Xinhui City, the main force of the Guangxi Imperial Court is also over! What do you think about these things? Wu Sangui, who was wearing a satin flat yellow python robe, looked around and asked in an inquiring tone.

Fang Guangchen was the first to stand up and said, "Lord Wang! This Qing Dynasty is already in jeopardy! If the Ming army invades Huguang, we will cut off contact with the imperial court! It's better for us to do the other way around now! ”

Wu Sangui shook his head: "Lone is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, how can he be at both ends of the head and mouse?" ”

Gao Dejie stood up and arched his hand: "Dad, this Qinggou country was given to them by your father-in-law, and you are already loyal enough to the Qinggou Imperial Court!" Now that Qinggou can't keep the country by himself, we return to the Ming Dynasty, which is also our own business, and we are afraid that others will not be able to chew their tongues? ”

"Yes!" Ma Bao also stood up, "Lord Wang, if you don't rebel at this time, when will you wait?" If it's too late, when Huguang falls into the hands of the Ming army, we will be alone! At that time, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Wang Shirong also arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang! If you have lived in the Bamo area for more than two years, the Qiongzhou Army will get the world sooner or later! They are developing rapidly in Bamo, the situation is very good, and the whole of Myanmar is already Ming! The Ming army has sharp firearms, and has repeatedly defeated the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, the situation in this world is still unclear? ”

But Wu Sangui was still hesitating: "The lonely prince is in the capital, if the lonely rebels, I'm afraid the court will kill the prince!" In addition, Aobai is not an idle person, and the Ming army arrived in Huguang, and there is no guarantee of victory. We still have to wait, if the imperial court is defeated in Huguang, we will raise troops against the Qing; If the court wins, we will not move. ”

Liu Xuanchu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart: the prince is unambitious and indecisive! Now that the situation is very good, it is not reversed! If you want to say that the prince is a loyal minister of the Tartar court, who believes it? I'm afraid that if the Ming army takes Huguang, it will not be as simple as accepting our anti-Qing Dynasty, and I am afraid that many harsh conditions will be proposed! At that time, can the prince still accept it?

Thinking of this, Liu Xuanchu stood up: "Lord, if you don't rebel today, I'm afraid that the prince will have a hard time in the future!" If the Ming army captures Huguang, my Pingxi Wangfu will be a lone army, the food and salary will be cut off, and Yungui will be a barren land, how to feed tens of thousands of troops? At that time, if the Ming court forces the prince to cut the domain, what should the prince do? ”

"Yes! Father! We are now rebelling, and we are still the prince in Daming! If it's too late, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will also learn from the Tartar court, and I can't wait to cut our domain! Wu Yingqi stood up and said.

Wu Sangui shook his head: "Qi'er! A father can't help but think about your eldest brother! As for the Ming army, we can send someone to negotiate with them secretly, just say that they attack Huguang, and we will definitely not send troops from Yungui to attack them, so this can be regarded as our sincerity! We have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Pingxi Palace, dozens of good generals, just seeking a corner of peace, this Ming court, is not to give us Yungui? They're not willing to spend their forces on us, are they? ”

Seeing that Wu Sangui didn't listen to the advice, Fang Guangchen had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "Lord, since this is the case, we will send envoys to Guangdong to express our sincerity to them!" Qinggou will definitely not be able to hold Guangxi! can send Wu Guogui's daughter to Guangdong to get married! Our condition is that as long as Yungui. ”

"Good!" Wu Sangui nodded and agreed to this proposal, "This is also to leave a way out for tens of thousands of soldiers in our Pingxi Palace!" As long as Lone does not send troops to oppose the Qing Dynasty, the court will not dare to do anything to Lone's son! ”

Thousands of miles away in Guilin, Ma Xiong fled back to Guangxi, but strangely, Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling did not return.

Seeing that the whole mansion was wearing linen and filial piety, Ma Xiong was shocked. When he learned that it was Lian Guoan who died, he walked into the mourning hall, knelt in front of Lian Guoan's coffin and cried: "Old Admiral! Ma is late! If it weren't for the promotion of the old admiral, how could Ma be the governor of Guangxi? But the last general is really incompetent, and tens of thousands of Guangxi children are lost under Xinhui City! The last general is sorry for the high hopes of the old admiral! ”

After Ma Xiong's worship, Miss Lian and Lian Chengren's sister and brother sent someone to invite Ma Xiong to the study.

"General Ma!" Miss Lian said a thousand blessings, "Now that the children of Guangxi have defeated Xinhui, they have lost their troops and lost their generals, and they can no longer resist the Ming army!" Guangxi toast is reversed again! I wonder what General Ma's plans are for the future? ”

As soon as Ma Xiong heard this, he secretly calculated in his heart: As soon as Lian Guoan dies, this Lian Chengren is young after all, and it is the young lady who is really in charge. If the young lady wants me to defend Guilin, why do you say these things? Could it be that the young lady already has a rebellion? This Qing court is unreliable, if you lose Guilin and flee to Huguang, I'm afraid Ao Bai will cut off my head! Instead of dying at the hands of Aobai, it is better to do the opposite! I'm afraid that the sisters and brothers of the Lian family are also going to be reversed, right?

So Ma Xiong said: "Miss, young lady!" The situation in Guangxi has festered so far, all because Kong Sizhen is bent on cutting the feudal domain and deducting the military salary of my Guangxi children! The poor old admiral is loyal to Kong Sizhen, but Kong Sizhen treats the old admiral like this! Now that the Ming army has invaded Guangxi, Tusi has rebelled again, we can't hold it, it's better to return to Ming anyway! ”

Lian Chengren turned his head, glanced at his sister, and then looked back at Ma Xiong and said, "Admiral Ma can understand the righteousness, this is the best!" Our brother and sister have the same intention! ”

Miss Lian took out a letter and handed it to Ma Xiong: "This is a reply from the King of Pingxi, the King of Pingxi has found all kinds of excuses, and the distance is far away, and the military salary is insufficient, anyway, he will not send troops to save Guangxi!" It can be seen from this letter that King Pingxi actually has objections! If our sisters and brothers don't return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, won't they be able to wait for death? ”

"Yes!" Lian Chengren nodded, "We are against the imperial court, and that is also Kong Sizhen's injustice!" If Kong Sizhen hadn't been persecuting us, why would we have to rebel? It's good now, Kong Sizhen defeated the Guangxi army and fled by himself! If this stinky biaozi comes back, this son must have captured her and dedicated her to the Ming army! ”

Miss Lian said: "There are still a few lackeys of Kong Sizhen in Guilin City, and that Maxiong Town is!" There are also a few puppies, we can call them all over and take them all! Dedicated to the Ming Army! ”

Ma Xiong arched his hand and said, "Miss Lines, Lady Lines, the last general will go and call them all to the last general's mansion!" You lead troops to ambush, wait until Kong Sizhen's lackeys arrive, and take them all down! (To be continued.) )
