Chapter 463: The General Trend
Wang Jiyong and Daniel Zhang have a feud for killing their father, plus Wang ~ Fuchen is popular, so the whole Shaanxi army has enough strength to make Daniel Zhang's blood debt pay for it.
Since Daniel Zhang was dragged down in the dark without Funi, he finally had no fetters, and he was finally able to arrange troops according to his wishes and secretly use the plan.
Therefore, the two sides can be regarded as returning to the period of confrontation between Wang ~ Fuchen and Daniel Zhang, and the battle can be regarded as a mutual victory or defeat, but the two are not in much hurry, Daniel Zhang firmly believes that in less than two days, Zhao Liangdong will be able to bring people to come, and then he will be able to destroy the Shaanxi army with superior forces.
Wang Jiyong also believes that Cheng Xiaolian can rush back, since he has taken refuge in the Ming court, then he can only go one way to the black, his father has always been angry about the capriciousness, because except for the people of Shaanxi, almost everyone is scolding his father for being a villain, so until the last resort, he has no intention of changing his banner.
At this time, the news that Cheng Xiaolian killed Zhao Liangdong and defeated the Ningxia army came, and Wang Jiyong's confidence was naturally more sufficient, but Daniel Zhang was angry, resenting Zhao Liangdong for not arguing, and on the other hand, he had to prepare to deal with the Ming army that rushed back.
After these days of great war, there were only 12,000 people left under Daniel Zhang, and only 8,000 men and horses left under Wang Jiyong, but Wang Jiyong did not fall behind, with the prestige of their father and son in Shaanxi, as long as they stretched out their hands, there was a source of soldiers.
Now that he learned that Cheng Xiaolian had returned victorious, Daniel Zhang decided to reach out and fight, and only by defeating Wang Jiyong first could he have a chance to recover Shaanxi, otherwise he would face the dilemma of facing the enemy on both sides.
His idea was naturally expected by the veterans of the Shaanxi army, who had fought many battles and could also analyze Daniel Zhang's current situation, and then came to the conclusion that if Daniel Zhang did not fight hard, he would retreat to Gansu and wait for a comeback.
That night, Daniel Zhang made a surprise attack, was caught off guard by Wang Jiyong, who had been prepared, and finally lost and fled back to Gansu with thousands of remnants, waiting for the court's severe treatment.
Half a month later, Kangxi received the news, but he did not get angry, nor did he punish Daniel Zhang, but still made him the governor of Gansu, and ordered him to encourage him: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, generals must not be discouraged, when the comeback, when Han Gaozu was defeated by the Chu overlord nine times, and won the tenth battle and took the world." ”
Kangxi was a heroic emperor after all, his qualifications were very good, and he knew that now that the commander was changed, Gansu would be finished, so he still gave Daniel Zhang great power, hoping that he could read the emperor's grace and serve desperately.
But Wang Jinbao and Ferni were not so lucky, Daniel Zhang had already made it clear what happened before and after in the folds, Kangxi gritted his teeth with hatred, if it were not for these two indisputable things, Shaanxi would have been pacified long ago, so regardless of the Manchus or Han, they all took their homes and beheaded them, and ordered the army of the world, and those who did not obey the commander's orders were immediately beheaded.
Just when Kangxi was worried, there was finally a good news sent over, under the city of Xi'an, Tuhai finally defeated Wang Ping Fan after mobilizing troops and horses, although Tu Hai suffered heavy losses, but Wang Ping Fan fled with thousands of remnants of soldiers, relieved the siege of Xi'an, and also relieved the civil and military ministers in the court, what they were worried about was that once Wang Ping Fan broke through Xi'an, then he would be able to invade Shanxi immediately, and then the Beijing division would not be very stable.
Therefore, Tuhai relieved the siege of Xi'an, Kangxi was overjoyed to seal Tuhai as the prince Taibao, rewarded 1,000 acres of fertile land, and ordered the world to fight to the death, and the court will have a generous reward.
Although Tu Hai was promoted to an official position, he was not very happy, at the beginning his army was not the opponent of Wang Ping Fan at all, so he asked the court to transfer the elite army, and now although he defeated Wang Ping Domain, but the elite of his men also lost a lot, and now Tu Luo Shaanxi can not be like the previous expedition to Mongolia with the army under his command to rob at will, at that time there was no way to act like this, and even if Xuanfu and other prefectures, counties, villages and forts were extremely angry, after all, they were the people under the rule of Gyeonggi, and these people easily did not dare to resist the imperial court.
And now that Tuhai is in Shaanxi, he doesn't dare to use this method anymore, if all the people in Shaanxi are against him, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold here. The people of Shaanxi are not the obedient people of the Gyeonggi region, from Gao Yingxiang to Li Zicheng, once there is a righteous army, they immediately call forward and back, and Tuhai does not dare to take this risk.
So he can only wait for the Beijing division to transfer new troops to fight against Cheng Xiaolian's army in Shaanxi, but in his heart, Wang ~ Fuchen is forced to rebel, he is confident to surrender Wang ~ Fuchen, even if it is now the son of Wang ~ Fuchen, he is still sure to surrender him, after all, the overall situation is in front of them, and they have no choice but to surrender. It's just that Tuhai has not received the news of Daniel Zhang's defeat, otherwise he would not be so optimistic.
At this time, because the repeated attacks could not work, the Geng Shang coalition army had never been able to open the passage to Sichuan, so they could only temporarily garrison the two lakes, but because they were unpopular before, there would often be unexpected troubles, so the commanders of the two of them were already anxious, giving the Shanhe army time to rest.
As for Wu Sangui, he didn't have the heart to care about whether one of his two lakes was occupied by Geng Shang's coalition army, he is not having a good time now, he almost reached the point where everyone shouted and beat him when he entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang, those scholars were not afraid of death, and openly lectured in the teahouse, from how Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty treated the Wu family well, and talked about Wu Sangui's treachery to lead the Qing army into the customs, causing the people in Jiangnan to be slaughtered countless by the Qing army, although this account must be recorded on the head of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Wu Sangui can't run.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been rich all over the world since ancient times, if there is no support from them, Wu Sangui will be useless to defeat Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is not the king of grass, he can rob hard, so he can only adopt a policy of appeasement.
However, his grandson Wu Shifan does not have such a good temper, Wu Shifan is young and vigorous, and under the temptation of Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang, he even used the knife.
Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu are not confused at all, if they compromise with the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at this time, then there will be only one consequence, they are stuck in the quagmire, and when the Manchus have organized their troops, they have no capital to deal with it, so they must quickly cut through the mess, kill all the people who are not convinced, and leave the people in obedience, so that they will not catch fire in the backyard when they fight against the Manchus.
Wu Sangui was furious when he heard the news, but he couldn't dispose of his two sons-in-law and one grandson, so he didn't know how to do it with the morale of the Wu family's army.
The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang naturally hated him, so they secretly plotted to destroy his big thing at the right time to avenge this.
