Chapter 413: Lonely does not hesitate to count the hairs

Ahem, I originally wanted to write a story about your wife and my raising, and you went with peace of mind, but I was scolded by the readers, and I didn't vote for the recommendation, and the genuine version was not supported, and the bones were ashamed, yes, what does the description in the previous section have to do with the anti-Qing Dynasty? What does the daughter of the Shi family of the eight families of the Han army and the Fujin of the prince of Jingnan have to do with the anti-Qing Dynasty?

The bones were silent

After the news of the recovery of Guangzhou and Zhaoqing came out, the Ming army in several prefectures and counties in southwest Guangxi coincidentally launched a counteroffensive against the Qing army in the territory.

Zhou Tengfeng of Haibei Province led his troops to recover Haikang County, and Xu Wenzhi County, appointed by the Qing court, opened the city anyway, and the deputy general Luo Guangqian surrendered to the Ming army; Tang Pingbo Zhou Jintang, who was stationed in Lianjiang County, Gaozhou, also led his troops to recover Luodingzhou City, and Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of Gaozhou's four prefectures, sent troops to recover Wuchuan and Shicheng counties; After Li Changrong heard that Zhaoqing Fucheng had recovered from Hailing Island, south of Yangjiang County, Zhaoqing Prefecture, he also sent troops to attack Yangjiang County, which was guarded by Qing soldiers. Wang Xingbu, the general of Enping Huben, led his troops to recover Taishan County, and sent troops to Baisha, Chishui and other places, opening up a communication channel with the Ming army in Zhaoqing and the Ming army in Qinzhou.

Due to the loss of Guangzhou and Zhaoqing, the Manchu and Han soldiers were all lost, and the green battalions of the Qing army stationed in various places had no fighting spirit and almost no resistance. By October, except for Shaozhou and Nanxiong in the north of Guangdong, and Chaozhou in the northeast, the rest of the prefectures and counties in Guangdong were all returned to the Ming Dynasty. There are 36 officials below the rank of deputy general anyway, and the momentum is great, far exceeding that of the Jin King's Eastern Expedition.

Under the favorable situation, Zhu Yuyi, the king of the Tang Dynasty who lived in Wencun, Taishan, and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, received the second visit of Xu Yingyuan, the envoy of the Taiping Army.

After Xu Yingyuan's last visit, the Taiping army transported a shipload of grain from Xiangshan to the king of Tang and the tiger general Wang Xing. It alleviated the food shortage in Taishan.

Xu Yingyuan didn't come empty-handed this time, although he came in a hurry and didn't bring food. However, he brought 20,000 taels of silver, more than 1,000 ordnance, four war horses, and also brought a few jade antiques from the Pingnan Palace. These treasures were personally selected by Zhou Shixiang, one of which was the "Autumn Sound Fu" made by Zhao Mengfu, the most beloved calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty of Emperor Shaowu, and there was an inscription of Emperor Shaowu on this calligraphy and painting.

After Xu Yingyuan presented "Autumn Sound Fu", he saw his brother's inscription. Tang Wang was stunned, but he didn't pick up this favorite painting and calligraphy of the imperial brother back then, but sighed secretly. asked Xu Yingyuan to take him to see the ordnance he brought to Wencun.

Tang Wang's move made Xu Yingyuan a little stunned, the prince didn't love calligraphy and painting, didn't love antiques, and didn't love treasures. But he was interested in ordnance. He was somewhat surprised. He had no choice but to put down "Qiu Shengfu" and led Tang Wang to see the ordnance he brought.

This batch of ordnance was selected from the treasury of the Pingnan Wangfu Domain, and in addition to 400 firearms, there were also 500 well-forged swords, as well as 100 crossbows, and more than 20 iron armors.

Because these weapons were gifts from the marshal to the Tang King, Xu Yingyuan was selected when he was in the domain, and none of them were inferior.

"Good. Well, Guangzhou Town really has a heart! ”

Tang King Zhu Yuyi repeatedly inspected this batch of ordnance. From time to time, he drew his sword and drew his sword to inspect it, and he was even happier than the treasures he had seen before.

When the king of Tang was happy, Xu Yingyuan said his intention, and Zhou Shixiang wanted to invite the king of Tang to live in Guangzhou and preside over the overall situation of Guangdong's resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

"The town of Guangzhou wants this king to go to him?"

Tang Wang was stunned, closed the sheath of a long knife in his hand, and looked at Xu Yingyuan silently.

A hundred miles away, the Yamen of the governor of Qinzhou, there were also two people who were silent. One is Lianchengbi, the governor of Liangguang, and the other is Guo Zhiqi, a bachelor who has just returned from the Kunming court. What silenced the two was the holy decree that Guo Zhiqi brought from Kunming to canonize Zhou Shixiang as Xingpingbo.

The Governor of Macau, Bougalo, was also silent, and after discussing with his confidant Rotony for a long time, he sent someone to find the general Xiao Bailang, and asked him to express to the Taiping Army the friendliness of the Portuguese and Macao authorities towards the Ming Dynasty

Thousands of miles away in Qujing, Yunnan, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, were also silent, and what silenced them was not only the 36 large military camps of Sun Kewang, who was mighty on the other side of the river, but also the fear of Sun Kewang's army by his subordinates.

"King Jin, there are Wang Shangli and others in Kunming City as an internal response for Sun Kewang, and if it is twenty days late, Wang Ziqi will definitely bring troops to Yongchang when he learns the news. When the time comes, we will be attacked on our backs and will collapse without a fight. ”

After weighing it repeatedly, Liu Wenxiu finally gritted his teeth and told Li Dingguo what he had been thinking about for a few days, and he persuaded: "Now we still have time to flee to Jiaozhi, if we leave immediately, we can still be self-contained." ”

Li Dingguo knew that Liu Wenxiu's words were heartfelt and the most realistic choice, because he was really not sure of defeating Sun Kewang's 100,000 front army.

30,000 against more than 100,000, the soldiers are all afraid, and Li Dingguo, who can fight well, was also shaken, but he did not agree to go to Jiaozhi, but said: "There are also a lot of Jiaozhi soldiers, and our total strength is less than 30,000. It's better for us to march in the direction of Yuanjiang and Jingdong and capture the Tusi place. ”

"Although there are many Jiaozhi soldiers, they are unbearable, although our soldiers are few, they are all elite, and 30,000 is enough to destroy Jiaozhi and its country!"

Liu Wenxiu insisted on leading the troops to Jiaozhi, but Li Dingguo insisted on refusing to go to Jiaozhi, and discussed for two days, but finally could not be decided.

On the third day, an unexpected situation happened - the general under Sun Kewang, Bai Wenxuan, who was appointed by him as the general of the rebellion, crossed the water late at night and came to see Li Dingguo.

Hearing that Bai Wenxuan came late at night, Liu Wenxiu hurried to Li Dingguo's tent.

"King of Jin, King of Shu, you can't spend any more time with Sun Kewang here, you will immediately send troops to fight Sun Kewang tomorrow, you don't have to worry, although Sun Kewang has a lot of soldiers, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others have secretly agreed with me that as long as the King of Jin and the King of Shu send troops, they will defect before the battle!"

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were stunned by Bai Wenxuan's words, and the two hesitated, thinking that Bai Wenxuan was planning against each other and did not dare to listen to him.

"If you have a little doubt, the opportunity will be revealed, and the big thing will go!"

Bai Wenxuan saw the thoughts of the two, and said loudly: "If it is delayed, there will be no place for my generation to die!" If I have a word to deceive the emperor and lose the country, I should die under ten thousand arrows! I'll go to the front of the battle now. Hurry up at dawn! ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu believed him or not, Bai Wenxuan turned around and left.

After Bai Wenxuan leaves. Li Dingguo took a breath of cold air and asked Liu Wenxiu: "Does the King of Shu think this matter is credible?" ”

Liu Wenxiu hesitated, Bai Wenxuan came suddenly, and what he told was too shocking, although Ma Jinzhong, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others were all former Nanming troops, but no one dared to guarantee that they were really willing to serve the old master and rebel before the battle.

When neither of them can make up their minds. Liu Yong hurriedly came over and handed a secret letter to Li Dingguo. After Li Dingguo opened it and looked at it, he suddenly changed color. He exclaimed: "Ma Bao's secret letter said that Sun Kewang sent him and Zhang Sheng to lead 7,000 elite soldiers to attack Kunming, if Kunming is broken, nothing can be done!" ”

Hearing that Sun Kewang's fierce general Zhang Sheng led his troops to attack Kunming, Liu Wenxiu also panicked. The city of Kunming is broken. He and Li Dingguo really have no way out.

"If Kunming asks Zhang Sheng to succeed in a sneak attack, I will die without a place to be buried! Two princes, let's fight a decisive battle! ”

Liu Yong knew that Bai Wenxuan was coming, and he and Ma Bao were brothers, otherwise Ma Bao would not have sent someone to send him a secret letter.

After Li Dingguo glanced at Liu Wenxiu, he finally made up his mind and instructed Liu Yong: "Order, the three armies will cross the water at dawn and fight to the death with Sun Kewang!"

"Order!"

Liu Yong answered loudly. Liu Wenxiu also passed the general's order, and it was very soon. The soldiers and horses under the command of the two gathered together, and they only waited for dawn to fight a decisive battle with Sun Kewang.

After dawn, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, took the lead in the battle, and at the beginning of the battle, Liu Wenxiu's general Chongxinbo Li Bengao fell from his horse and was killed by Sun Jun and beheaded, but Liu Wenxiu's army was small. Seeing this, Li Dingguo was frightened, and hurriedly personally put on armor and led his troops to kill. Sun Kewang saw this scene in Gaogang Mountain, hurriedly waved the command flag, and ordered the battalions to attack Li Dingguo's department.

After dusk, the center of the battlefield moved to the west, and there was no more fighting and shouting, and the ruins and broken walls were everywhere, all of which were bloody corpses: there were knives in the chest; Those who were shot in the back were held by the throats: those who plunged each other's spears into each other's chests...... The weeds everywhere were soaked in human blood, horse blood, and sometimes the neighing of undead war horses, and the whole battlefield was miserable.

Sun Kewang thrashed vigorously and stepped off the shiny black steed, and the horse rushed forward like a gust of wind. Under the leadership of the commander, Sun Kewang's brigade of men and horses, the cavalry let go of the horses' hooves, and the infantry stretched their legs and rushed forward desperately. Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang have worked together for many years, and they know that they are resourceful and outnumbered, and they are outnumbered, and when they saw Bai Wenxuan and others not moving, they were afraid in their hearts, and discussed retreating before the battle.

Li Dingguo reprimanded angrily: "Zhang Sheng has raised troops to attack Kunming, if he retreats now, Sun Kewang will chase our army with fine cavalry, the soldiers will definitely be defeated and scattered, and it is impossible for us to return to Kunming alive." Isn't it better to die in battle than to die in the hooves of pursuers in retreat? ”

After Li Dingguo said this, he slapped his horse to meet Sun Kewangbing again, as for whether Bai Wenxuan, Ma Bao and others would really fight back, he didn't ask anymore, and now he can only fight hard, and there is no other way.

When Liu Wenxiu hesitated, Bai Wenxuan's soldiers and horses in Sun Kewang's army suddenly turned around and rushed towards Sun Kewang's rear.

Bai Wenxuan led his troops to pass in front of Ma Weixing's army, but when he saw that Ma Weixing's army was not moving, he knew that the other party had a heart, so he went straight over. Sure enough, Ma Weixing's army didn't let go of an arrow, and suddenly opened the formation, vacating a gap, and letting the Baiwenxuan horse team gallop in. In a moment, the two generals joined forces and copied Sun Kewang's back.

Bai Wenxuan's army and Ma Weixing's army joined forces, and tens of thousands of people rebelled at the same time, and the Qianqian army loyal to Sun Kewang was caught off guard and was broken by several battalions by them.

Sun Kewang was shocked when he saw this situation in Gaogang: "Bai Wenxuan and Ma Wei Xing'an dare to betray me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Jinzhong's troops also turned against each other, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were overjoyed and led their troops to pounce on Sun Kewang's Chinese army.

Suddenly suffered a big change, Sun Kewang's department was shocked when he saw this, and he had no fighting spirit. Bai Wenxuan and Ma Weixing worked together to kill, and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu also seized the opportunity to lead their troops to rush forward.

Sun Kewang's army was in chaos, and some people in the chaotic army shouted "Protect the Son of Heaven, welcome the King of Jin!" Protect the Son of Heaven, welcome the king! ”

The situation changed sharply, the army of more than 100,000 collapsed, Sun Kewang's army was defeated like a landslide, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment longer, so he turned his horse back and fled wildly.

Seeing that the victory or defeat on the battlefield had been decided, Li Dingguo asked Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan and others to continue to pursue Sun Kewang, and he himself led his troops to gallop back to Kunming.

Sun Kewang's general Zhang Sheng took a small road and rushed to the city of Kunming within five days, preparing to attack the city. In the city, Wang Shangli was dressed in a horse and was about to respond, but was deceived into the court by Mu Tianbo and put under house arrest.

Zhang Sheng waited for a long time, but no one in the city answered, so he had to give the order to attack the city. When he wanted to wave the flag, he suddenly saw the "Flying Newspaper Victory Flag" hanging high on the gatehouse of Biji Fang in the city, and he was immediately shocked.

Ma Bao, who had already discussed with Bai Wenxuan and Ma Jinzhong to oppose the enemy, took the opportunity to say: "Our battalion is defeated, Li Dingguo will send troops to intercept our back road, and now we can only retreat!" ”

As a result, Zhang Sheng, Ma Bao and others did not dare to attack the city again, so they plundered outside the city and fled while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos. Wang Shangli, who was under house arrest in the city, heard that Zhang Sheng had withdrawn, and knew that the matter was exposed, so he hanged himself with his belt in a panic. On the way back to Zhang Sheng, he met Li Dingguo in the muddy pond, and the two sides fought to the death. Since there was only one way to retreat, Zhang Sheng waved his troops to kill desperately, and for a time Li Dingguo's soldiers were almost unstable.

After the battle of Jiaoshui, before repairing, and rushing overnight, Li Dingguo's soldiers' combat effectiveness was greatly consumed, and after fighting for nearly an hour, fatigue suddenly appeared, and Li Dingguo's soldiers could not bear it, showing a trend of rout on the whole front. Ma Bao, who was behind Zhang Sheng's array, found that the situation was not good, and immediately fired cannons at Zhang Sheng's array, shouting and killing.

Although Zhang Sheng was a brave general, he had to be shocked when he saw this, and shouted: "Ma Bao is also reversed!" "Shoot the horse and run away. After running for a night, Zhang Sheng saw his subordinate Li Chengjue coming to greet him halfway, and he was overjoyed and glad that he had finally escaped with his life. The two of them were in the middle of the cold and noisy, and suddenly rushed out several soldiers, struck Zhang Sheng under the horse, and tied them up.

Zhang Sheng scolded: "You are a general, how dare you betray me?" ”

Zhang Chengjue replied: "If you dare to rebel against the Son of Heaven, you can blame me!" ”

Zhang Sheng was speechless, and after being escorted to Kunming, Emperor Yongli ordered him to be sent to the downtown area and beheaded.

Sun Kewang fled to Guizhou, and ordered Feng Shuangli, the general left behind, to guard the key roads in Weiqing and other places, and instructed him: "If Liu Wenxiu pursues the troops, you can quickly release three cannons to inform me." ”

As a result, Feng Shuangli also betrayed Sun Kewang, and it didn't take long for him to set off three cannons, so frightened that Sun Kewang didn't even drink a sip of water, and fled from Guiyang City with his wife and children, cronies, and a large number of gold and silver baggage.

When everyone rebelled and left, Sun Kewang, the "lord of the country", was extremely embarrassed, and his wife and concubines and baggage were all plundered by Feng Shuangli's subordinates. When he arrived at the partial bridge, Sun Kewang had only twenty people left in his entourage. Passing by Zhenyuan, Pingxi, Yuanzhou and other places, the Nanming guards and his former generals were closed. Sun Kewang was already desperate, and when he arrived in Jingzhou, Wu Fengsheng, a scholar from the middle school, led his troops and horses to meet him.

Looking at Wu Fengsheng, the only subordinate who was still loyal to his lord, Sun Kewang was extremely miserable, and looked at the west with hatred and roared: "Lone does not hesitate to use this number of hairs, he should join the Qing camp and borrow troops to avenge his immortal enmity with Li Dingguo!"
