Chapter 255: Guangxi


History tells Zhou Shixiang that Sun Kewang failed to defeat Li Dingguo, but betrayed his relatives and left, and finally surrendered to the Qing army, leading the Qing army into Sichuan and Guizhou, thus completely burying the Southern Ming.

And his opponent Li Dingguo is in the annals of history as a national hero of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and is admired, missed, and sighed by future generations.

Sun Kewang obviously has more territory than Li Dingguo, more soldiers and horses than Li Dingguo, and more generals than Li Dingguo, and the combat effectiveness of Sun's department, which is also part of the Great Western Army, is not lower than that of Li Dingguo's department, but why did he fail Zhou Shixiang, who was a man of two lifetimes, was not a historian after all, and he had no way to explore the process and specific reasons for Sun Kewang's failure in detail, but he knew one thing clearly, that is, the people's hearts were not on Sun Kewang's side, and the righteousness was not on Sun Kewang's side.

The territories still nominally owned by the Yongli court include Yunnan, Guizhou, most of Guangxi, one part of Hunan, one part of Sichuan, the coastal part of Guangdong, and the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang.

When Li Dingguo became the king of the two years, Shunzhi wanted to give all the land in the south of the Yangtze River to Yongli as a negotiation condition for the Ming and Qing dynasties to divide the river and rule.

It can be seen from this that the orthodoxy of the Southern Ming Dynasty represented by the Yongli Imperial Court is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is far from being replaced by Sun Kewang, who was born in a rogue.

If Sun Kewang really takes the eternal history from the generation, the first disobedience is the Ming Dynasty officials in the provinces, they can accept the Lianshun to resist the Qing Dynasty, Lianxi to resist the Qing, but they must not accept the birth of a new emperor who is not a child of the Zhu family, not to mention that this is the last time for the Ming and Qing dynasties to compete and determine the number of Han families.

At this juncture, the fratricidal slaughter of the last resistance of the Han nation was undoubtedly an early end to the Nanming regime, which could still last for a few years.

What makes people helpless is that even if Sun Kewang failed, Nanming still couldn't hold on, and Li Dingguo struggled to support it for five years, and finally he was powerless to prevent the building from falling, and he was loyal to the borderland.

Sun Kewang's shame is not that he wants to take the Ming Dynasty, it is not terrible to have ambitions, the terrible thing is that after the ambition was hit, Sun Kewang actually surrendered to the Qing court and became a traitor as a long-term leader of the Great Western Army, and was named the king of Qin It was precisely because of Sun Kewang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty that the Qing army was able to understand the reality of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and also made the defense lines of the Great Western Army against the Qing army in various battlefields collapse after leaving Yunnan, and the Qing army seized the southward important place that he wanted to take in the early years with almost no losses.

Every time he thought of this, Zhou Shixiang couldn't wait to eat Sun Kewang alive At the moment, he is powerless to interfere with the struggle between Sun and Li, and he is powerless to change Sun Kewang's defection to the enemy, but he can keep the situation from collapsing so quickly.

He wants to influence this historical process, and in Xinhui, he did it, and next, he wants to do more.

Sun Kewang is unpopular, his subordinates will not go all the way with him, let alone Li Dingguo, one of the four heroes of the Great Western Army, and they will not be the enemy of the Son of Heaven in their minds.

Zhou Shixiang analyzed Sun Kewang's defeat with righteousness and people's hearts, Chen Qice sounded quite reasonable, although he was still suspicious and worried, but the worry in his heart was still a little gone.

However, Zhou Shixiang only said that Sun Kewang would be defeated with righteousness and people's hearts, not mentioning the reality of the balance of power between the two sides, which made Hu Deyu feel quite slight, but he was loyal to the Ming family, so he naturally didn't want to see Sun Kewang win, and he didn't want to see the generals of the water division disagree on this matter, and the good situation that had just won the new meeting fell apart again, so he also said a few points to support Zhou Shixiang's opinion.

After Zhou and Hu analyzed like this, the generals of the Navy Division also made up their minds, and without the panic feeling that the sky seemed to be about to collapse when they heard that the Son of Heaven had moved to Kunming just now, they all began to analyze the impact of this matter on the situation against the Qing Dynasty.

But then Zhou Shixiang mentioned an imminent matter, he said to Chen Qice: "Anlong Mansion has always been controlled by Sun Kewang's people, but the king of Xining has been resting at the junction of Guangxi and Guangxi since he retired from Xinhui at the beginning of the year, and now he is leading his troops and horses to protect it, and this Guangxi is not going to rejoin the hands of the Qing army."

Hearing this, Hu Deyu shook his head and said: "Guangxi's line Guoan is Kong Youde's general, after Kong Youde's death, he and the chief soldier Ma Xiong and Quan Jie led the Qing court to lead those prefecture, state, and county officials to flee to Wuzhou to resist stubbornly, and later saw that he could not stop the soldiers and horses of the king of Xining, so he retreated to Zhaoqing.

Three years ago, the king of Xining was ordered by Sun Kewang to lead his troops and horses from Guangxi to Hengyang, Hunan, to participate in the attack on the Manchu prince Nikan, but the strength of our army left in Guangxi was very thin, and Shang Kexi in Guangzhou took the opportunity to order the line Guoan, Ma Xiong, and Quanjie to select elite soldiers to join Qiang Shijue, the deputy general of the Guangdong Naval Division, and set out from Fengchuan, Guangdong, and advanced by water and land to reoccupy Wuzhou. ” After a pause, he said: "Later, Line Guoan took advantage of the emptiness of Guilin to defeat Zhu Xisan, the general of Anxi of the clan, defeated Yining Bo Longtao and Liao Fengbu in Pingle, and occupied Guilin again, and then Line Guoan, Quanjie and Chen Weixin, the governor of Guangxi appointed by the Qing court, have been entrenched in Guilin and Wuzhou.

The king of Xining wanted to pull out this nail before the first attack on Guangdong, and he led his troops to attack Guilin again, but this time it was not successful.

However, although Line Guoan possessed Guilin and Wuzhou, the King of Xining was also stationed at the junction of Guangxi and Guangxi in the past two years, so Line Guoan and others only dared to take a defensive position and did not dare to send troops to attack and plunder.

But now that the king of Xining has taken his troops and horses to Kunming, there are definitely not many soldiers and horses left in Guangxi, and it is difficult to say whether the line Guoan will honestly hide in Guilin. ” Speaking of this, Hu Deyu's face darkened, obviously not thinking that the line national security would let go of Li Dingguo, a tiger, and not take action in Guangxi.

Chen Qice said slowly: "If Guangxi is completely occupied by the Qing army, our news with the imperial court will be completely extinct, there is the Qing army in Guangdong in the front, and the Qing army in Guangxi in the back, our situation will be more difficult than ever." ” Zhou Shixiang is still the first time to listen to someone explain the situation in Guangxi, before he always thought that since Kong Youde's defeat, Guangxi has all fallen into the hands of the Ming army, now listen to Hu Deyu said, Guangxi still has the existence of Qing forces, and what is more terrible is that Guilin, the capital of Guangxi, is still in the hands of the Qing army, this does not mean that Li Dingguo and Kong Youde in Guangxi before the war was all useless Inflicted heavy losses on the enemy's army, forced the enemy's main general to commit suicide, and seized strategic cities, but did not send troops to clear the remnants of the enemy's army, and finally transferred the main force away, making all the previous efforts in vain Zhou Shixiang was very difficult to understand Li Dingguo's strategic view of Guangxi, he did not know anything else, but he knew that if Guangxi was lost, the Ming army in Guangdong would become a lone army, and it would be possible to be attacked by the Qing army from the two directions of Guangzhou and Guangxi.

In other words, the Ming army that was still in Guangdong to resist the Qing Dynasty was all in a desperate situation.

"Guangxi is finished, and we are finished" "Guilin's line Guoan is a hungry dog, and he can't bite when he sees a bone" "If Guangxi is lost, the Qing court will definitely be happy and Geng Jimao will go west, and Hong Chengchou of Hunan will not let go of this opportunity, if Wu Sangui's dog thief goes south from Sichuan again, will this battle be fought" oshow7 t1706231537:
