In the second half of 1648, the situation in South China was turbulent and unpredictable. First, Li Chengdong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and threw himself into the Ming Dynasty in Guangdong and launched an attack on the nearby Qing army. The former Zheng generals Shi Fu, Shi Lang, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others who were originally under his command also left him with tens of thousands of soldiers and surrendered to Zheng Sen in Xiamen. At this point, the troops under Zheng Sen had soared from the "thousands" when they first started to raise the army to nearly 100,000.

Of course, these 100,000 people are very well-watered, and only 10,000 or 20,000 people can fight, and the others are all like Masters and 20,000 people who claim to be "can fight" are only relative. When they encounter the weak green camps left behind in Fujian, they cannot guarantee that they will win. It is conceivable that Li Chengdong discriminated against them at the beginning. These people are really unbearable to fight!

Fortunately, the Qing army had few troops left in Fujian. Since Boluo returned to Beijing and took away most of the Eight Banners generals of the Manchu and Mongolian Banners, the Qing court appointed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, only 40,000 to 50,000 troops under the command of Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and most of them were gathered in northern Zhejiang and various major transportation routes. The troops in Fujian Province were very scarce. Originally, the Qing court was counting on Li Chengdong from Guangdong to cooperate in guarding, but now that Li Chengdong has already entered the clarity, Fujian is naturally extremely empty.

At the end of 1947 and in the first half of 1948, Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, with Zhoushan as the base, frequently went ashore to attack the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. At first, his troops had poor performance and lacked the ability to attack. Even if they spent a lot of effort to capture a certain city, they were forced to give up because the Qing reinforcements arrived. They had no time to raise supplies, so they became poorer and more difficult to fight. It was not until the people of the East Coast gave him a batch of light weapons and went ashore to support his offensive at the same time. The situation of the King of Lu troops gradually improved.

Starting from June, they avoided Zhejiang, where the Qing army had strong military strength, and received support from local gentry and some Zheng soldiers in northeastern Fujian. Then, taking advantage of the lack of military strength in the Qing army, they captured cities and territory in a large manner. Although their troops were weak in combat, they had great political advantages. After some hard battles, they gradually squeezed the Qing army out of the 27 counties in the three prefectures and 27 counties in northeastern Fujian. It was considered that there was a preliminary land, and the strategic maneuver space was greatly enhanced.

After seeing the "feature of picking up the bargain" by the Lu Jianguo army, Liu Haiyang generously opened the arsenal and funded them a large number of newly transported bows, crossbows, arrows, leather armor, swords and guns (produced by Jeju Island Arsenal). Of course, now that Zhu Yihai and others have territory, they are embarrassed to take things for nothing, so they exchanged with the East Coast people with local local products (tea, raw silk, porcelain). Of course, it was said that it was an exchange, but the Zhu Yihai army has not yet established a stable foothold and has no military production capacity. The East Coast people sell some high-quality cold weapons to them. It is already an incredible military aid. In this era, you may not have a place to buy these weapons.

Why did the crusade army gradually lose its support in the battle with Kong Youde and others? It’s just that the ordnance production capacity is insufficient! There will be losses in wars, and the losses are amazing. Whether it is replenishing troops or weapons, if they cannot be replenished in time, it will lead to a decline in combat effectiveness. This is an irrefutable fact. At the beginning, the 60,000 crusade army fought against Wu Sangui and 50,000 crusade army in Shanhaiguan, causing Wu Sangui to be defeated, so that he left the pass at night to ask Dorgon for help. But today a few years later, the crusade army is facing Kong You

When De, Shen Zhixiang and other old Liaodong people who were similar to Wu Sangui were fighting, they struggled a lot. They often couldn't get it in the field, but it was because the loss of military and personnel could not be supplemented! Therefore, their combat effectiveness was getting worse and worse, and now they were completely in a passive position in Hunan. If Zhang Xianzhong had not died in Sichuan, the East Coast people made a big fuss in Shandong and attracted a large number of Manchu and Mongolian main forces, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others would have been unable to make it in Hunan for a long time.

The Lu regime echoed the Zheng family along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, conquering the city and territories. However, Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and Li Chengdong were also clearing out forces loyal to the Qing court in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. Among them, Li Chengdong brought 70,000 to 80,000 troops from Henan and Jiangbei to continuously attack the Guangdong local army that surrendered to the Qing court. At the same time, he sent people to contact Jin Shenghuan and the Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty to prepare for mutual assistance. Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren claimed to have more than 100,000 troops. After obtaining two east coast long-steel siege cannons through the Southern Ming regime (two were drifted), he finally captured Ganzhou City in one fell swoop in August 1948, wiped out all the Qing troops defending the city, and connected Jiangxi's territory with Li Chengdong's troops in Guangdong.

The Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty was overjoyed and began to send people to urge He Tengjiao, who lived in southern Hunan and northern Guangxi, to supervise his troops and the former army Hao Yaoqi, Wang Jincai and other troops to go north, and echoing each other with the Shun Army Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others who insisted in Yueyang, Changde, Liuyang, and restore Hubei. Of course, this may just be a beautiful dream. When will the Ming Dynasty king army be able to fight with the bandits who are still under the banner of treason? If they fight first, they have a big view of the situation.

In this way, in the second half of 1648, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang provinces south of the Yangtze River had already fallen into a full-scale chaos. Among them, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces had almost all fallen into the hands of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and half of Hunan was in the hands of He Tengjiao, and the situation was very good. Inspired by this, the Li Guo troops of the Shun Army once again organized troops to build a base (the bastion group started to be built in October 1946, guided by the East Coast Engineer), and dispatched to the north to attack Hubei, which caught Kong Youde and others who had been attacking but not defending for two years, and suffered some losses.

Over the past two years, the Shun Army has been suppressed and beaten by Kong Youde and others, and is very frustrated. Although Kong Youde and others did not receive reinforcements from the main force of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in history, the Green Camp from Nanjing was also transferred to Jiangbei on a large scale due to yellow-clothed thieves. These caused Kong Youde and others to have less than half of the troops in history, and they were not as strong as the elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, but they still only spent more than a year to gradually drive the Shun Army, which had at most 300,000 troops out of Hubei with their advantages in logistics and military equipment, and then pressed them to the fortification area of ​​Hunan, and then barely stopped.

After all, the fortresses (bundesligas) with many yellow cannons were small and strong. They were mostly built outside the city (with the city being mutually supportive) or on traffic channels. They were far from being able to deal with by troops like Kong Youde, who lacked the ability to attack. Therefore, this made the split Shun Army survive in some areas in Hunan.

This time, the Shun Army took advantage of the overall decline of the Qing army in Jiangnan to launch a large-scale counterattack, which really surprised the Qing army. In addition, some Han army green camp generals were unable to resist (he had a different mindset in their hearts and began to pay attention to preserving their strength), so the Shun Army led to the attack on Hubei in one fell swoop, making Kong Youde furious.

Faced with such a difficult dilemma, the Qing army did not dare to neglect and immediately began to collect all the troops they could find. They sent Chen Jin, who lost his troops in the Battle of Denglai. He, along with Ke Yongsheng, the former general of Jiaozhou Town who had just recovered from the wounds, Dong Alai, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Li Yanling, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, carried out a "beheading operation" in Mobei, Zu Dashou's nephew Zu Zeyuan, and others. Under the leadership of the Minister of Rites and the First Class of the Infantry Banner Jiala Zhangjing Chen Tai, he went to the Fujian and Zhejiang area to reinforce Zhang Cunren (Zhang Cunren had returned home after being sick at this time), and tried to counterattack Fujian and rescue Fuzhou, the provincial capital that had almost become an isolated city.

These reinforcements generally have few troops, but their combat power is not weak. Among them, Jixiha is a powerful general. Chen Tai and Dong Alai are also long-time generals who have been fighting for many years in the Eight Banners. Chen Jin, Ke Yongsheng, Li Yanling and others are old people of the Han army flag and have rich combat experience. Zu Zeyuan is the nephew of the traitor Zu Dashou, and his troops all come from Jinzhou. He is also quite capable of fighting. Therefore, after arriving in Zhejiang, this reinforcements with a total strength of no more than 15,000 people quickly pacified some anti-Qing rebels with the momentum of sweeping the fallen leaves. Then, without any delay, they went straight to northern Fujian and fought with the troops of the Lu Jianguo.

At the end of 1948, Qing reinforcements entered Fujian. Zheng Cai and others who had the actual military power of Zhu Yihai's troops could not resist and lost consecutive battles. The morale of the Qing army was like a rainbow, and there was also a shocking scene where Ke Yongsheng led more than 2,000 remaining soldiers in Jiaozhou Town to chase tens of thousands of rebels against the Qing army. The mobs of Zhu Yihai's troops were weak in combat and almost collapsed overnight.

If the East Coast people were here at this moment, they would be so shocked that their chins could not be closed. The two thousand people from Ke Yongsheng were still some of the remaining old, weak and remnants of Jiaozhou Town! At the beginning, the main force of Jiaozhou Town was defeated in Yantai, and the rest of the troops were caught and beaten by Mo Dashui on the bank of Weishui. They were beaten to run away with their heads in their arms. More than 2,000 people died on the spot, and no less than 2,000 people died when they threw themselves into the water. The rest of them were crying and knelt down to beg for surrender. How pitiful it would be.

But now, after these old, weak and remnants who were left behind Jiaozhou and escaped by chance, they turned into tigers and wolves and defeated all the troops of Zheng Cai, Liu Zhongzao and others, which was very imposing. From this, we can also see how the Nanming army, which lacked professionalism and systematic military training, was vulnerable. If they did not rely on the thief armed forces, it would be impossible for them to persist - because most of the Nanming's own army had negative combat power.

After all, after Jin Shenghuan and others were corrected in history, Dorgon sent his confidant party member Tan Tai to lead the main force of the Manchuria and Mongolian Eight Banners to the south. With limited troops and at the fastest speed, he used the conflicts within the Southern Ming Dynasty to defeat Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Li Chengdong and other troops one by one, resolving this great crisis invisibly. But now it is different. Tan Tai's troops have more troops than in history (25,000 people), but they are all trapped in Shandong, which is even more troublesome there. If Tan Tai's troops are drawn at this time, then Shandong will not be invincible?

Similar to Tan Tai, there is Luke Dehun. In history, this person led a group of elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to urge Kong Youde and others to fight from Hubei to Guangxi, almost breaking through the entire Southern China. However, at this time, this guy was squatting in Jinan with five or six thousand people, urging the encirclement and suppressing the Yuyuan Army. At the same time, he monitored the elusive and super mobile yellow-clothed thieves, which were almost unable to move forward. Including the 20,000 to 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who were fighting in Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places, as well as the 40,000 to 50,000 people stationed in important places such as Nanjing, Tianjin, Xi'an, and Jinzhou, the strength of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners was also very tense. At this time, if you want to send a large army south to attack Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong, you can only draw troops from Beijing and the above key points, otherwise you will not be able to gather enough troops.

Whenever I think of this problem, I can't help but sigh. Nonetheless, Shandong, which was in the elbow, never pacified, and actually dragged the North Green Camp mobile forces (Seventh Generals) and Tan Tai and Luke Dehun, two generals, here. It's simply outrageous. If Shandong was just a trouble for the Qing court in the past, it would be obvious that it is quite fatal now. Shandong attracted more than 100,000 Green Camps and 30,000 elite men of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, is enough to deserve this evaluation. Not to mention that the news that the Northern Ningguta was defeated by the yellow-clothed thief was also spread to Beijing at the same time, which is even more upsetting. You must know that those places can provide at least 2,000 new Jurchen forces for the "Qing Dynasty", but now it's good to be able to collect hundreds of people a year by the yellow-clothed thief.

Why is the thief in yellow targeting me like this?! It's like a maggot in his throne, which is too much to deceive people! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, novels are better and faster!
