The messenger sent by Feng Shuangli was of great origin. In the second year of Yongli's reign, after the Daxi Army entered Yunnan, Ainengqi was ambushed by the local chieftain Lu Wanzhong. After Ainengqi died, his son Ai Chengye took over.
Ai Chengye brought Feng Shuangli's report to Tang Jianguo and asked to send a supervisor. The above table shows that Feng Shuangli and the generals of Jianchang have changed the appointment of the Tang king as Zhengshuo, and that the appointment of the supervisor is to show Zhou Shixiang their sincere support for the Tang king's regime.
Feng Shuangli's Department has always been the original Daxi Army commanded by King Li Dingguo of Jin, and now it has been transferred to Tang Wang Zhengshuo, indicating that in addition to King Jin and King Gongchang and those generals who surrendered to Wu Sangui, the rest of the Daxi Army still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. They have abandoned Zhu Youlang and turned to unite under the banner of the Anti-Qing Dynasty headed by the King of Tang.
Zhou Shixiang asked Ai Chengye about the situation of the Ming army in Jianchang. Ai Chengye did not hide anything, nor did he exaggerate. The truth was that King Qingyang had more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, Wu Gongbo Wanghui had more than 1,000 soldiers, and he himself only had more than 2,000 soldiers. In the Jianchang area, there are more than 3,000 soldiers, such as Wang Piantou, the guarding general, with a total strength of less than 10,000 soldiers.
Ai Chengyan said frankly that when Feng Shuangli, the king of Qingyang, heard that the imperial court had abandoned Kunming, he felt that retreating south to western Yunnan was a dead end, so he led them into Sichuan, with the original intention of joining forces with thirteen schools in central Sichuan to create a new situation. However, due to the failure of the two Kuidong troops to attack Chongqing, the King of Qingyang and the others had to stagnate in Jianchang. Due to their weak strength, it was difficult for them to do anything great. Many generals were shaken until they heard that the Kuidong troops had rushed in. Huguang and Nandu were recaptured by the Taiping Army, and then they regained their confidence and continued to harass Gao Minzhan, the governor of Qing Sichuan, and successively recovered some lost ground. However, the Jianchang area was barren, so the Jianchang Ming army was still short of clothing and food, unable to undertake larger tasks, and even unable to organize a decent offensive.
King Qingyang of Ai Chengye Road has always intended to send someone to contact the Taiping Army, but due to lack of opportunity, this time the Qing army from Guizhou suddenly retreated westward into Sichuan, and the defense line of the Qing army in central Sichuan was shaken. Kuidong leaves Huguang.
"King Qingyang originally intended to come to Nandu in person, but Jianchang needed him to sit in the town, so Chengye came to see him. King Qingyang specially asked Chengye to tell the story, and asked the Duke to forgive him for not being able to come in person."
Of course, Zhou Shixiang knew that Feng Shuangli must be a polite remark. No matter what, Zhou Shixiang is still the Duke of Yue, but Feng Shuangli is the king of the county. There is no reason for the king of the county to ask the Duke to forgive his sins. Moreover, Feng Shuangli sent Ai Chengye to come to represent the king of Tang, and the biggest purpose was to get the support of the Taiping army for them, not really to change to Zhou Shixiang's command. It is just a symbol to send a supervisor. Zhou Shixiang cannot really send a supervisor to Jianchang. Instead, he has to wait for the Tang king to reach the southern capital and re-canonize Feng Shuangli and others in the name of the new emperor. Places, not simply out of reach, but also to point fingers.
Sure enough, Ai Chengye then mentioned whether he could invite the Taiping Army to go to Kuidong to attack Chongqing, and Jianchang launched a counterattack from southern Sichuan to capture Chongqing and then to Chengdu. Yungui.
This request made Zhou Shixiang shook his head secretly. Right now, the main force of the Taiping army had to deal with the Jiangbei camp in Shunzhi, and was simply unable to organize an offensive into Sichuan. Both Guangxi and Hunan are now on the defensive. Even if Duny withdraws from Guizhou, Zhou Shixiang has no intention of taking Guizhou, let alone detouring to Hubei to fight Sichuan.
The MI did not send any news about Wu Sangui anyway. After Ai Chengye and Dooni led the Manchu and Mongolian troops to withdraw into Chongqing, some Qing troops in Guizhou and Yunnan who were under Wu Sangui's orders did not attack the Doni's department, and even for the Manchu troops. The sudden withdrawal of the Meng army also felt apprehensive. It can be imagined that the reason why Duny gave up Guizhou was not because of Wu Sangui in Yunnan anyway.
King Feng Shuangli of Qingyang and King Wu Gongbo would guess that the fundamental reason why Doni led the army into Sichuan may be because Guizhou had no food to eat, and the great changes in the southeast. Well, it's better to use it in the Jiangnan war, than it is better to be trapped in Yungui.
This judgment coincides with Zhou Shi. He also believes that there are two reasons for Duny's sudden withdrawal. One is that there is no food to eat, and the other is that he returned to the north of the town.
But Zhou Shixiang never ruled out that Wu Sangui might make Duny feel jealous in some respects, so he led his troops to withdraw. Thinking of the letter from Hong Chengchou to Hong Shiming, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help sneering. The old boy Wu Sangui is really interesting. He blocked himself here, and he didn't raise the flag when Donny ran away. It can be seen that this old boy is too worried. Widowed.
In the history of the previous life, during the "Rebellion of the San Francisco", Wu Jun fought from Yunnan to the Yangtze River in one go, South China and the Northwest were almost completely reversed, and Kang Mazi in the north was in a hurry. The boy just couldn't beat Jiang, which gave Kang Mazi a chance to breathe. The Qing army used the months given by Wu Sangui to stabilize its position, and the war became a stalemate. In the end, when Wu Sangui died, the Wu army fell apart.
Combined with Duny's run, Wu Sangui still refused to let go of it anyway. Zhou Shixiang concluded that Wu Sangui was just waiting and watching, waiting for himself and Fulin to decide the outcome before making a bet.
Zhou Shixiang and Zhang Changgeng had talked about Wu Sangui. Zhang Changgeng thought that if Wu Sangui was really ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get the biggest fruit, then he had only one chance, or he would immediately go north to Sichuan, break through the Manchu Hanzhong defense line, and attack Shaanxi. ; Or break the Taiping army's Huguang defense line and rush into Huguang. If he doesn't do this, and only decides the winner and loser in the south of the Yangtze River, he will end up waiting to die, and the best outcome is to still surrender to Ming or Qing.
Zhang Changgeng believes that Wu Sangui is suspicious of human nature, afraid of losing his strength in doing things, looking ahead and looking back, always wanting to get the greatest benefit, but he is unwilling to go all out. This kind of person is an eagle and a dog, but it is difficult to make his own decisions. Right now, he is facing a situation that decides the life and death of his future strategy. He should take advantage of Doni's escape now, lead his troops to capture Guizhou, and then immediately enter Sichuan, attack Baoning, Hanzhong, seize Xi'an, and occupy Tongguan. In this way, Wu Jun can go out of Shanxi in the east and Henan in the south, and he is even expected to take Beijing earlier than the Taiping army, and achieve great things. After all, the Shunzhi army was attracted by the Taiping army in Yangzhou, and the 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers of Doni fled thousands of miles, how much fighting spirit and fighting power can they still have? If he doesn't do it now, when will he wait!
The soldiers are very fast, the Qing court can't care about Sichuan and Shaanxi now, and Duny led the army to escape. Wu Sangui has this great opportunity in front of him.
Zhou Shixiang agreed with what Zhang Changgeng said, if he were Wu Sangui, he would have attacked Duny as early as the recovery of the southern capital, and then he would go straight to Sichuan, take Shaanxi with lightning speed, and go out to Tongguan. He will not stop. You must know that there is a dangerous road in Sichuan between Shaanxi and Yungui, and transportation is extremely difficult. If you do not go all out to seize Beijing after taking Shaanxi, the army in Shaanxi and the army in Yungui will not be able to care for each other. . Taking care of this and losing the other, the final end was nothing more than the second Liu Wenxiu, who retreated from Shu Road and suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Changgeng also analyzed that if Wu Sangui did not enter Sichuan and seize Shaanxi, there was still a second way, that is, to use the banner of Yongli, to incorporate the Ming armies of Sichuan in the name of Yongli, and then not to go to Hanzhong, but to take Chongqing as a node and go The Three Gorges line of defense, where the Ming army was weak, left Huguang.
The Three Gorges and Xingfang areas are all thirteen battalion troops. The quality of the soldiers is low, and the main force is concentrated in the front lines of Wuchang and Henan. Therefore, although the Three Gorges is a natural danger, it is easier to break through. As long as Xingfang and troops are out of Yiling, Xiangyang, Yunyang, and Zhongxiang in Hubei are within easy reach. Although the river is fast, as long as there is a large ship, it can be transported downstream, which is far more convenient than land. Then the main force attacked Wuchang, and the partial divisions attacked Hunan. The Taiping army in Hunan had 20,000 to 30,000 horses under Zhao Sihai, the governor of Hunan.
In this way, Wu Sangui, who is based on Yongli, can sit in Huguang and look at the south of the Yangtze River, just like Zuo Liangyu in the past, but the fake prince became the real emperor Yongli, Hongguang became the king of Tang, and Zhou Shixiang was the four towns. It is good that Zhou Shixiang can solve the Jiangbei camp of the Qing army, so that he can win the decisive battle at Nanchang, Jiujiang and Poyang Lake just like the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of that year against Chen Youliang.
Whoever wins will be eligible for the Northern Expedition to completely wipe out Manchuria and restore China!
In other words, if Zhou Shixiang could not solve the Qing army camp in Jiangbei, then under the attack of the two armies, it would be the best end to retreat to Guangdong and Guangxi to breathe.
Zhou Shixiang didn't have many choices, but Wu Sangui could choose to be Li Zicheng or Zuo Liangyu. Of course, Zhou Shixiang couldn't let Wu Sangui let go, no matter which way he chose, it was the biggest threat to him. But now, he found that he had no good way to deal with Wu Sangui. Now he not only had to deal with the Jiangbei camp, but also started to restore Fujian and Zhejiang. Wu Sangui was really beyond his reach. The most important thing is that he must immediately send King Tang to the throne of the emperor, and whether Zhu Youlang falls into Wu Sangui's hands or not, his value must be reduced by half.
The big deal is the Three Kingdoms, one Qing and two Ming.
Zhou Shixiang was not worried that he would become Sun Quan, because the essence of China is not in the north, but in the south!
If Wu Sangui entered Sichuan and went to Shaanxi, Zhou Shixiang could not reach him, but he could prevent him from entering Huguang. So after thinking for a while, Zhou Shi faced Ai Chengye Road, and he would send a force to Hubei to consolidate the Three Gorges defense line together with Zhongzhen Battalion. King Qingyang and the others can understand. Zhou Shixiang promised that once the Qing army's Jiangbei camp was resolved, he would definitely provide effective support to King Qingyang.
In the end, Zhou Shixiang asked Ai Chengye to stay for a few days, and Tang Jianguo would go to Nanjing soon. At that time, he and Nandu Wenwu would invite Jianguo to ascend to the throne. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
