Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 544 Supporting the Tang Dynasty

Thirteen families in Kuidong?

Among the generals present, there are those who know about the thirteen schools, and there are those who don't. Tie Yi was the one who didn't know, so he looked at Zhao Sihai, hoping that the other party could tell which army and horse the thirteen families in Kuidong were referring to. I don't think Zhao Sihai actually didn't know the details of these thirteen families, but only knew that it was the rest of the original thief Li Zicheng's Dashun army.

Zhou Tengfeng from Haibei Road studied abroad in Hunan in his early years. At that time, the Qing army was heading south. He was fortunate to have been in the office for several months under Duyinxi, the governor of Huguang, who was at the time of uniting the rest of the Shun army to fight against the Qing, so when he heard that Zhou Shixiang wanted to answer Kui When the thirteen families of the East entered Hunan, they were immediately shocked and admired: "Xingping is a great strategy! All the thirteen families except the three Tans are the elites of the loyalty camp. This generation has been in the army for a long time. If they can get out of their traps in Kuidong and enter Hunan, they will do great work in Daming!”

This is the thirteenth Kuidong family, and the loyalty camp, and Tie Yi is even more at a loss when he hears it. Qi Hao was born in the Great Western Army. Among the generals present, he knew more about the Kuidong soldiers who were also from the peasant army, so he stood up and said to the generals who were not clear: "What the commander said Kui The thirteen families in the east, except for the three Tans, are all remnants of the army. More than ten years ago, Li Xianzi was defeated in Shanhaiguan and quit the capital. One route was led by him, and the other was led by his nephew Li Guo and his brother-in-law Gao Yigong. Leading from Shaanxi to Hubei..."

Just as he was talking, Li Que, the blind man who was holding a hammer at the door and beating his skin with his eyes, jumped out and shouted angrily, "When did I go to Shanhaiguan, and when did I have a brother-in-law surnamed Gao? Come on, Commander Qi don't want to spread my rumors!"

Hearing this, all the generals in the hall burst into laughter. The blind man Li Qi Hao was talking about was not the blind man Li in front of him. In comparison, blind man Li was not even qualified to carry shoes for that blind man. Yu Shizhong, a travel school near the door, pulled the blind man Li and told him the origin of the blind man. After listening, the blind man Li immediately stuck out his tongue, and went back to the nest again. No matter how old and rude he is, he always knows the name of King Li Zicheng.

Blind Li's troubles made the atmosphere in the hall a lot more active. Qi Hao continued to talk about the thirteen families for everyone. In his mouth, he called Li Zicheng one by one blind Li, but it was because his old master, King Zhang Xianzhong of the West, and Li Zicheng were at odds, so Zhang Xianzhong usually called Li Zicheng Li Blind. Called Li Zicheng. It's been almost 20 years, and Qi Hao can't change his mouth. It's not that he really resents Li Zicheng.

"... After Li Blind fell to his death in Jiugong Mountain, the Dashun Army generals Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Wu Ruyi, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others who had followed him eastward refused to lose the Han popularity festival. He refused to change his ancestral clothes, so he refused the Manchus' offer to surrender, and contacted He Tengjiao, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, but He Tengjiao looked down on Tian Jianxiu and the others. Tian Jianxiu and others could not stand in Hunan, and when they heard that Li Guo and Gao Yigong had arrived in Hubei, they led the army north to meet Li Gao and the others.

After that, the then governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi, urged Emperor Longwu to unite with the Shunjun army. Emperor Longwu did not remember his old feud, and happily ordered Li Guo and others to be canonized as lords, and ordered the rest of the Shunjun army to be changed to the loyal camp. Later, Emperor Longwu died and Emperor Yongli ascended the throne... After more than ten years, the Dashun Army and the rest of the loyal camp have been fighting against the Qing Dynasty at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei and Henan. Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others. As for the three Tans, they are Tan Wen of Fuhou, Tan Yi of Renshou, and Tan Hong of Xinjin. "

What Qi Hao said was roughly the same as what Zhou Shixiang knew. What he knew better than Qi Hao was that the rest of the Dashun Army was Nanming's resistance to the Qing Dynasty that persisted until the end, and it was not until Kang Mazi's meeting that it completely failed. Therefore, people in the world say that the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty was over until Yongli was killed, but strictly speaking, it should be destroyed by the Kuidong Anti-Qing Base. At least, on the mainland.

Zhou Shixiang slowly glanced at the generals and said, "As Haibei Dao said, the soldiers of Kuidong have been in the ranks for a long time, and they are all the elites of the Shun army. If we can take them out of Kuidong, we will definitely treat our Taiping army. It's a big help."

Tie Yi nodded and asked, "The thirteen families are trapped in Kuidong, how can we get them out?"

"Stop the Qing army from Hubei, and the thirteen families will naturally come out."

Zhou Shixiang smiled. On the one hand, the reason why the thirteen families were trapped in Kuidong was that the territory they occupied was too small and too barren, and it was difficult for them to develop themselves, which led to their weaker and weaker strength. On the other hand, the Qing army blocked their way out. And these ways out were easy to defend and difficult to attack for the Qing army, so in front of the Qing army with favorable geographical location, the Kuidong soldiers could hardly do anything even if they were able to fight, and they could only support them. However, for the Taiping army who wanted to enter the north and south of Hunan to rescue thirteen families, the blockade of the Kuidong by the Qing army in Hubei became a joke, because the geographical advantage they occupied was easy to defend and difficult to attack in front of the Kuidong soldiers. In front of the army, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend - the Taiping army is passing behind them, not in front.

"The thirteen families have been trapped in Kuidong for the past few years. Their strength is limited. There are only 300,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the sky. Even if they can get them out, it is always a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in Yungui."

Qi Hao is not so optimistic. What he thinks more is that thirteen soldiers and horses can leave Kuidong and enter Hunan to join the blockade against the Qing army in Yungui, but compared with the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, the strength of the Ming army Still weaker. The Qing army of Yungui and Qing really wanted to go north with all their strength, and I am afraid that the so-called blockade could not be realized at all.

Zhou Tengfeng shook his head and said, "Commander Qi came from the Daxi Army, how could you forget what the peasant army is best at?"

"Um?"

Qi Hao looked at Zhou Tengfeng puzzled, not knowing what the other party wanted to say.

"When Li Zicheng left Shangluo on eighteen horses, he gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in just a few months." Zhou Tengfeng chuckled lightly, "If Kuidong soldiers can get out of trouble, not to mention that there are still 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers now, they will only Hundreds of people, I dare to conclude that they can also roll up the momentum of hundreds of thousands of people."

Hearing this, Zhang Pingbo Zhou Jintang said disdainfully: "What is the use of the top of the soldiers and horses that have been brought in, how can Kuidong's soldiers and thieves be of any help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Shixiang cough twice. Zhou Jintang was stunned for a moment, but saw Tie Yi and others looking at him with malicious intentions, and suddenly realized that this Taiping Army also started out as a thief. I said that the Kuidong Army was not useful, didn't I say that the Taiping Army was not useful in disguise?

Weiyuan Hou Guo Dengdi stepped forward to change the subject, and asked Zhou Shixiang: "The purpose of the commander's response to the Kuidong soldiers is to let them block Guizhou with us, but the Kuidong soldiers are not fools, they will be willing to help us. ?"

"They will be willing, because the coach will give them a big land, a base that they all dream of owning."

The conditions given by Zhou Shixiang were very simple and attractive. He took the Taiping army to break the blockade of the Qing army in Hubei against Kuidong, but when the Kuidong soldiers thought of it, they had to help him deal with the Qing army in Yunnan and Guizhou first. The condition is the two provinces of Hubei and Hunan. As long as the Kuidong soldiers are willing to help him, Zhou Shixiang in the two lakes will give in to each other. Anyway, he has no ability to swallow the two provinces now. Instead, it is better to be a favored soldier and give it to the Kuidong soldiers~www.mtlnovel.com~ In this way, with a stable site The Kuidong soldiers can gradually grow up and become another anti-Qing force that causes headaches for the Qing court, but they are still half-dead as they are now.

Zhou Shixiang is not worried that the Kuidong Zhu will break their promise, because if they want to stay in the two lakes, they must deal with the Qing army in Yungui together with the Taiping army. Otherwise, once the Qing army breaks out from Guizhou, it will not be the Taiping army, but He owns thirteen families in Kuidong. In this world, what is eaten into the stomach, but no one is willing to spit it out. Suddenly from the poor place of Kuidong to the rich land of the two lakes, the generals of Kuidong could not be willing to return to the miserable life of the past.

Of course, Zhou Shixiang would never do business at a loss. The most fundamental reason for him to put the thirteen Kuidong families into the two lakes was that he needed their support.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to support the Tang King to supervise the country, and the rest of the Dashun Army in Kuidong, like the Zheng family in Jinxia, ​​were all supporters of the Tang faction.
