In recent years, Li Guangen has been building activities in the area, when Li Dingguo entered Guangdong, the Yongli court named Li Guangen as Qingfengbo, hoping that he could lead the army to respond to Dingguo.
Although he was unwilling to obey the orders of the Yongli court, Li Guangen always wanted to avenge the old master's father and son, so he gladly accepted the title of Earl of Qingfeng, led his troops to attack the Qing army in Zhaoqing, and beheaded more than 100 Qing troops in the Wende area.
After Li Dingguo withdrew from the army, Li Guangen's troops were attacked by Xu Erxian, the general soldier of Zhaoqing in the Qing Dynasty, and had no choice but to retreat into the mountains.
Like the Ming army in other parts of Guangdong, Li Guangen's troops were also short of medical care and food, and struggled to support until the city of Zhaoqing Mansion was occupied by Linghai general Chen Qice and Zhenguo general Zhu Tong, and then they knew that Guangdong had undergone earth-shaking changes.
After receiving the invitation note sent by the envoy of the Taiping Army, Li Guangen was very hesitant, this post directly stated that the Guangzhou Military Conference was to discuss the affairs of the King Qin, but he was very disappointed in the Yongli Imperial Court, and hoped that the incompetent Zhu Youlang would die soon.
However, his wife Zhao said that now the whole province of Guangdong has been restored, Zhu Ming is hopeful, and the husband should put aside his old prejudices and go to Guangzhou to participate in the military discussion, so that he can not only show his ambitions, but also avenge the father and son of the king of Ningxia, which is better than living in the mountains and building a mountain.
Under the persuasion of his wife, Li Guangen replied that he was willing to go to Guangzhou to discuss the military, and his post was in the hands of Zhou Shixiang after Guo Dengdi, Marquis of Weiyuan.
Guo Dengdi, Marquis of Weiyuan, and Ma Bao, who had been named the Duke of Huaiguo by the Yongli Imperial Court, were both from Guyuan, Ningxia.
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng attacked Longde, Guo Dengdi and Ma Bao joined Li Zicheng's peasant army.
After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Ma Bao was promoted to the deputy battalion general of the old battalion because of his merits, and Guo Dengdi served as the post commander under Ma Bao.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's Shanhaiguan War, Li Zicheng ordered Ma Bao to lead the cavalry to attack Wu Sangui from a stone, Wu Sangui led the Qing army to fight Ma Bao, and in the battle, Ma Bao was artillery.
Seeing Ma Bao's cannon, Guo Dengdi hurriedly dismounted to save him, but both were captured by the Qing army.
The latter two went south with the Qing army as prisoners of war, and followed Li Chengdong into Guangdong, and returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway.
Ma Bao was awarded the title of Andingbo, and Guo Dengdi was awarded the title of Weiyuanbo.
In the seventh year of Shunzhi, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao besieged Guangzhou, and Yongli ordered Ma Bao and Guo Dengdi to attack Qingyuan from Zhaoqing in order to contain the Qing army, but they were repulsed.
On the way back to the division, in order to snatch grain and grass, Ma Bao actually attacked Liu Guochang, a friendly army and former Dashun general who rescued Guangzhou in the east, which made Guo Dengdi very dissatisfied.
In the eighth year of Shunzhi, Zhu Youlang fled from Nanning to Anlu, and after most of Guangdong fell, Guo Dengdi and Ma Bao still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty in the mountainous areas of Guangxi.
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, when Li Dingguo captured Guilin and Liuzhou and marched into Guangdong, Ma Bao led his troops to respond.
Not long after, seeing that Sun Kewang was strong, Ma Bao led his army to take refuge in Sun Kewang.
Guo Dengdi did not join him in Sun Kewang, but led his subordinates back to Gaozhou to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty.
Ma Bao has changed hands several times, and now he has been promoted to the Duke of Huai by the Yongli Imperial Court, and Guo Dengdi has also been promoted from Wei Yuan Bo to Wei Yuan Marquis. can be different from Ma Bao's current more than 20,000 troops, Guo Dengdi, the Hou Ye, only has seven or eight hundred soldiers, and before Guangzhou was recovered, he has been pressed by the Qing army in the area of Shendianwei, if it were not for the sudden occupation of Guangzhou by the Taiping Army, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army stationed in western Guangdong have changed their banners and returned to Ming, but I am afraid that Guo Dengdi will most likely go to sea and die.
Guo Dengdi is a very affectionate person, otherwise he would not have gotten off the horse to save Ma Bao who was hit by a stone, if it weren't for Ma Bao's subsequent behavior was quite immoral, Guo Dengdi would not have parted ways with him.
Therefore, although it was not the Taiping Army who personally rescued him, if it were not for the Taiping Army, the Qing Army in Western Guangdong would not have been in chaos, thus giving Guo Deng's department a chance to breathe.
Therefore, Guo Dengdi regarded the Taiping Army as a life-saving benefactor, and he was very self-aware, although Zhou Shixiang was just Xingpingbo, he was the Marquis of Weiyuan, and his title was one level higher than Zhou Shixiang, but he didn't dare to really put his own marquis above Zhou Shixiang's uncle.
In the reply, Guo Dengdi's attitude was very sincere, and his words were self-defeating, which made Zhou Shixiang very satisfied, if these princes, marquis, and uncles in Guangdong could be as interested as Guo Dengdi, he would not use force to solve them.
The reply of the Jingxiang general Deng Yao and the post of Zhou Tengfeng of Haibei Province were received together, and both of them expressed their willingness to lead their troops to Guangzhou to discuss the affairs of the king and accept the command of Xingpingbo.
The former is a military attache of the Ming Army, and the latter is a civilian official, and the two are also Yongli courtiers in Guangdong who have officially expressed their agreement with Zhou Shixiang dominating the situation in Guangdong so far.
As the first civil official to express support for Zhou Shixiang, the significance of Zhou Tengfeng in Haibei Province is even greater.
Deng Yao had been stationed on Changhailing Island, and most of his troops were boat divisions, with more than 3,000 soldiers.
After the Taiping army captured Guangzhou, the green battalion soldiers who had previously suppressed Deng Yao surrendered to him in order to survive, so that Deng Yao's troops expanded to more than 5,000.
Zhou Tengfeng is a civil official, and most of his troops are recruited volunteers, and they are mainly boat divisions, and their combat effectiveness is not high, but their troops are the first to rescue the Xinhui Taiping Army.
Zhou Tengfeng's department has 3,000 soldiers.
Tiger generals Wang Xing, Zhangping Bo Zhou Jintang, and Wei Ding Bo Shi Shangyi are actually bandits and pirates.
Wang Xing was brave and martial when he was young, and the warriors from all over the country pushed him as the leader, gathered thousands of people, and was later recruited by the Guangdong government.
It is nicknamed "embroidery needle" when it is a thief, it sounds like a woman, but in fact it is sharp, and the needle people are very painful.
Wang Xing consulted with King Tang after receiving the post, and King Tang did not hesitate to ask him to respond, and immediately led his troops to King Qin.
Wang Xing has always respected the king of Tang, and his department has been favored by Zhou Shixiang, so he happily replied that he was willing to go to Guangzhou for military discussions.
Zhou Jintang and Shi Shangyi were bandits when they were young, recruited by the Ming Dynasty as officials, after the Qing army entered Guangdong, he both surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and when Li Dingguo led the army into Guangdong, the two turned around anyway.
I didn't want Li Dingguo to retreat after two defeats in Guangdong, and the two had no way to retreat, so they had to lead the soldiers and horses to persist in Guangdong.
Thanks to the Taiping Army's victory in Guangzhou, the soldiers and horses under the command of the two have expanded a lot, and many garrison battalions have been recruited.
In addition to these seven people, the Ming army in Guangdong was relatively strong, including the Song Guogong Ye Biao Division, the Dai Guogong Shi Shangyi Division, the Fengzheng Boxiong Chaozuo Division, the General Soldier Wang Han, Zhang Yue, Xianqiyu, Gao Jinku and others.
They either don't want to pay attention to Zhou Shixiang, and don't want to damage their strength to be the king; Either only the governor's yamen is looking forward, or it is just waiting and seeing.
And most of these people were generals of the Qing army, some of whom descended to Ming when Li Dingguo entered Guangdong, and some of whom surrendered to Ming after Guangzhou was recovered.
After waiting for another three days, still not seeing any movement from these guys, Zhou Shi said to his subordinates: "Those who follow me are loyal, and those who oppose me are traitors." ” With just one word, all these Ming army generals with more than 20,000 or 30,000 people were designated as traitors, and Zhou Shixiang was also very domineering.
After receiving the commander's order, the first town, the second town, the eighth town, and the naval division were dispatched one after another, and the situation suddenly became tense, and there was a great tendency of internal strife. oshow7 t1706231537:
