Volume 4 Empire East Rising Chapter 35 Southwest Military Affairs
Huang Degong's words made everyone here think. The thirty-nine craftsman who rose up in Manchu consumed no less than hundreds of millions of military expenses, and tens of millions of people were killed or injured. They were even captured by the other side for five years. This was a great humiliation for all the Ming generals.
There is no doubt that everyone has the same thoughts as Ran Yingyuan, and they want to destroy all Manchus immediately. However, the teachings of the Battle of Sarhu are too profound. Although the power of the Ming Dynasty is far stronger than before, the power of Manchus has been weakened to a point that is weaker than the Battle of Sarhus. However, facing the right time and place that is not conducive to the Ming army, if the Ming army is eager to achieve success, it may not suffer a great loss. "What do you think Huang Aiqing's words?" Wang Fu turned to Gao Jie, patted Yongfu, Li Chengdong and others and asked, "I think that Duke Jingguo's words are reasonable, Manchus is not worthy of doing anything. Fear. Lost Chenyang and other places, after this winter, Manchus will become weaker. The emperor might as well order the three generals to rest in Shenyang and fight again when the spring of the next year is about to begin." Gao Jie said slowly, and the others nodded, and Yan Yingyuan did not stick to his own ideas and stopped talking. Wang Fu looked a little unrestrained on his face and nodded: "Since that's the case, the couple immediately issued an order to Yin Xiaowang and Sun Generals to fight again in the spring of the next year." Manchus took more than 30 years to fight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and took him six years to drive Manchus out. Now it is the final stage, so wait a few more times. So what? Thinking of this, Wang Fu felt relieved. He wrote the imperial edict and immediately ordered people to pass it out as quickly as possible. Even so, it is expected that half a month later to arrive in Chenyang. Just the message will be delivered at the same time. This is the inconvenience of Nanjing as the capital. If it is in Beijing, it can be done in ten days. Fortunately, the Manchus are now inseparable. Otherwise, the south is the capital and the radio has not been invented. This is really an insurmountable flaw. After discussing the war in the north, several kings and ministers stopped discussing it. When the war in Sichuan began, the Southern Ming Dynasty immediately faced three powerful enemies. Compared with Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong had the least strength. Although he occupied the country of Tianfu in Sichuan, it also restricted his development and had the least threat to the Southern Ming Dynasty. Even if Wang Fu was not a time traveler, he knew how to take Han. So over the years, even though Zhang Xianzhong was accused of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not increase any force except the siege of the original Sichuan. At the beginning, the officers and soldiers were defeated because of the food and salary, which almost allowed Zhang Xianzhong to completely occupy Shu and spread to the direction of Yunnan and Guizhou.
This situation was not until the second year of Hongguang that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng had a talented battle. Fan Yiheng, the former governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi of Ming Dynasty, and Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, took the opportunity to send a large army to march into southern Sichuan. Deputy General Zeng Ying once captured Chongqing. Grand Secretary Wang Yingxiong met with troops from Zunyi, Deputy General Yang Zhan Xiaodiaolong, Mo Zongwen, and Jia Denglian gathered more than 30,000 officers and soldiers who had previously dispersed, attacked Xuzhou, and all achieved great victory. However, the good times did not last long. After Zhang Xianzhong made a move, he quickly lost his place. The officers and soldiers were losing their troops and were in a thin position to drive out Sichuan. However, at this time, Wang Fu personally led the army twice, defeating Zuo Liangyu and Duoshi respectively. The emperor Qixin rose sharply. In addition, in the third year of Hongguang, the finances of the court improved. In addition, the government's finances improved slightly in the third year of Hongguang. , When military pay and various materials were allocated, the confidence of officers and soldiers increased greatly. Although Zhang Xianzhong won many victories against the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers were defeated but did not disperse. Bi Chang made a comeback after a while, which made Zhang Xianzhong extremely distressed. When the Daxi Kingdom was just in time, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to imitate Liu Bei's actions after entering the army, advocated military discipline, appointed old officials of the Ming Dynasty, and opened a statute to win the hearts of the people. However, Zhang Xianzhong soon found that his efforts were useless. Not only did the old officials and the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, even the scholars he personally admitted were forced to serve him under pressure. In his bones, he still regarded him as the enemy's and the enemy was very angry. This made Zhang Xianzhong very angry and stopped the local area and there were land. The main force rebelled and attacked the soldiers of the Daxi Army. Zhang Xian became more and more irritable. After he was depressed, he killed many local tyrants and old officials of the Ming Dynasty. Even the hired scholars killed many scholars. Scholars and local tyrants were all interested in the Ming Dynasty. They looked down on Zhang Xianzhong's regime and often contacted the Ming army behind the Daxi Army. Zhang Xianzhong would never forgive this. When he caught Lan Qi, he was severely punished and implicated a large number of them. In this case, Zhang Xianzhong's political wisdom could not solve it at all. The only way he could think of was to kill, kill those people and eventually surrendered to rely on the Daxi Army. Unfortunately, Zhang Xianzhong was wrong. Although those people were afraid, they still bowed to the retreat. All the military secrets of the Daxi Army were leaked to the Ming army, causing heavy losses to the Daxi Army. Zhang Xianzhong was not ruthless to the Tudi. Once the poisonous ties were found, the more people Zhang Xianzhong killed, the more scholars and local tyrants knew that Zhang Xianye's regime could not last long and became closer to the Ming army. This was like a vicious cycle. Before the external environment had not changed, this cycle was unsolvable. When Hongguang four people relied on the restraint of local armed forces and sufficient salary, the commanders and soldiers of Shaanxi Governor Fan Yiheng, Sichuan Governor Ma Gan and other commanders could already compete with Zhang Xianrui. The Xi Jinping was suppressed by the Tianxi Army and suppressed the Daxi Army in Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou.
However, it is not easy for the Ming army to make progress. At the beginning of the Daxi Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong arrived at four adopted sons, Diao Ping, Dong Wang Yu, Wang Yu, Fu Nan Wang, Li Dingguo, and Dingbei King Ainengqi, and set up the five military governor's office to command the military and divide it into 120 battalions. Tiger power, Bao Tao, Long Tao, and Ying Yang were also set up as guards. The four kings and generals of the Five Army Governor's Office were all good at fighting. In addition, there were natural dangers to rely on. Although the Daxi Army was on the defensive momentum, the military force was still strong, and both sides could only hold on. At the beginning of this year, with Wang Fu's triumphant victory, the Ming army could finally free up his hands. Wang Fu added 50,000 troops to Sichuan in one go, including the Yulin Guard L Su Wu, and the Tiger Camp commander Wang Wanyang, who was the commander of the shy commander, sent troops.
In Sichuan, in May, Wang Wannian arrived at the periphery of Sichuan and immediately launched a fierce offensive against the Daxi Army. Although the artillery of the Yulin Guard could not play a big role due to the terrain, the Daxi Army was still defeated under the attack of the Yulin Guard muskets. Faced with the advantages of the officers and soldiers, the Daxi Army retreated step by step and finally forced to fight to the decisive battle outside Chongqing. This battle ended with the failure of the Daxi Army. Tens of thousands of Daxi Army were bleeding from the periphery of Chongqing, with corpses covered, and once dyed the Jialing River red. Sun Kewang and Ainengqi and the other two broke through with their elite guards. Ainengqi was shot and fled with wounds. The officers and soldiers rushed in, captured Chongqing, and headed straight for Chengdu.
Zhang Xianzhongfu was shocked and had to transfer Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who were in charge of the Yunnan-Guizhou direction, to the east, and the organizers were all out, and the Ming army attack was resisted on the edge of Qiji outside Chengdu. However, with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's main force, the Ming army in the Yunnan-Guizhou direction seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to restore the places that had been captured by the Yunnan-Guizhou provinces before, and to enter the four ", Dayou generals of the Daxi Army finally surrounded Chengdu. It can be said that the current Sijing Tuo soldiers are in great shape, although they are about to enter now.
In winter, however, Sichuan is not colder than Northeast China. In addition, the local tyrants and people in Sichuan are all interested in the Ming Dynasty. The movements of the Daxi Army are almost transparent in the eyes of the official army, so there is no need to suspend the attack like Manzhou. After a little discussion with the generals, Wang Fu immediately ordered people to draw up a decree, first commend the officers and soldiers of Sichuan, and then ordered Ran Shaanxi Governor Fan Yiheng and Sichuan Governor Ma Qian. Together with Wang Wannian's troops, Wang Fu did not limit the date for pacifying the Daxi Army in his decree.
After a series of military affairs in the northwest, Wang Fu was quite happy. After the ministers retreated, Wang Fu wanted to return to the Imperial Garden, but he could only think about it and call Tian Cheng, and ordered him to arrange for him to leave the palace.
Compared with the previous few months, the population of each Beijing has suddenly decreased a lot. However, at this moment, Nanjing can still be said to be the most complex city in the world. The streets are coming and going, and all kinds of hawking are endless. Although the business of restaurants and inns is not as good as a few months ago, there are still very few empty seats. Only, there is no need to wait.
Listening to the different accents of the south and north, watching the pedestrians walking on the street wear silk shoes, thinking that this was the empire he ruled, Wang Fu couldn't help feeling satisfied. Yang Lin was waiting for the guards but did not as easily as the emperor after the last assassination. Every time the emperor went out in a secluded manner, the guards were walking, and a heart-wrenching cry came in front of him. After a while, the people watching the fun were surrounded by people worshiping the crying was full of sadness, as if something was heartbroken. Wang Fu couldn't help but say to a guard: "Go and ask, what happened?"
"Yes," the guard responded and walked towards the area surrounded by a circle. He looked at the circle in front of him and wrinkled and whispered: "Master, the street is too complicated, so why not sit down and wait in the restaurant for a while."
Wang Fu was slightly shy and Yang Lin was overjoyed. He surrounded the imperial grass and walked into a large restaurant next to him. The restaurant was named Sixi Restaurant, but it was very wide inside, up to three floors, and the decoration was extremely luxurious. Now it was just the afternoon when Shenshi. The downstairs were full of 40% to 50%. It seemed that the restaurant was doing well. Yang Lin wanted the emperor to sit on the third floor factory, but was immediately told by the client that the third floor had been booked. Yang Lin had to settle down with the emperor and walked up to the second floor with the emperor and sat down by a window. The guards did the ordering of the food. After a while, the client started serving the food one after another, and Wang Fu slowly started drinking it.
