When the people of Nandu were panicking, a shocking change occurred in Yunnan, thousands of miles away.
After learning that Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, had sent Li Dingguo's subordinate Le Tongwu to Guiyang behind his back, Admiral Zhang Dayuan felt threatened, an unprecedented threat.
Although Lin Tianqing did not surrender to the Taiping Army, Zhang Dayuan's subordinates secretly reported that Lin Tianqing secretly transported a batch of grain and medicinal materials to the Yunnan-Burma border, and had frequent contact with Guiyang.
From this point of view, Lin Tianqing's defection is only a matter of time, once he surrenders, he will become another Hong Chengchou protégé who surrendered to Zhou Shixiang after Yuan Kuoyu.
His son was killed by Zhou Shixiang, but his protégés and disciples surrendered to Zhou Shixiang one after another.
Zhang Dayuan knew very well that Lin Tianqing's choice was right, Yunnan was already a Jedi, even if Wu Sangui won a great victory in the north and occupied Beijing, Yunnan would still be an isolated Jedi.
No matter how good Wu Sangui is, no matter how good he is, he will never be able to save Yunnan.
Therefore, there is only one way in front of the civil and military forces of the Wu army in Yunnan, and that is to surrender.
But when to surrender and in what way, there are many ways to surrender.
Defending Yunnan, at the moment of the fall of Guiyang, it was already a fool's dream.
There is only one reason why Lin Tianqing has not immediately announced the change of banner, that is, the conditions for surrender have not yet been negotiated.
Perhaps, this person still wants to wait and see, after all, since sending Le Tongwu to Guiyang and expressing "goodwill" to Guiyang, the military pressure faced by Yunnan on the Yunnan-Guizhou border has been greatly reduced.
Without the imminent danger, Lin Tianqing's neck was like a rope missing, and he could still breathe fresh air freely.
Without pressure, Lin Tianqing now feels a little like waiting for the price to sell.
After all, he is the governor of Yunnan, and if Zhou Shixiang can't give a suitable arrangement, let him hand over a province, which is also a bit embarrassing for him.
The more Lin Tianqing waited for the price to sell, the more Zhang Dayuan was very unhappy and unwilling, because the elite of the Yunnan Wu Army was in his hands.
Lin Tianqing is just the original green battalion soldiers and the Tusi armed forces from all over the country, occupying Kunming City.
If Lin wasn't Hong Chengchou's protégé, he wouldn't even be the governor of Yunnan.
And the nominal first person in Yunnan is not Lin Tianqing, but Wang Xuan, the Xuanfu envoy, so why did Lin Tianqing dare to negotiate with the Taiping Army as the master of Yunnan Originally, Zhang Dayuan's plan was to find a way to get rid of Lin Tianqing, and he would pull Wang Xuan to negotiate with Guiyang, so that Lin Tianqing would not be able to get the benefits.
Who would have thought that Lin Tianqing would strike first, not only caught up with the Taiping Army, but also connected with Li Dingguo outside the border, which made Zhang Dayuan extremely anxious, feeling that he was not only betrayed and betrayed, but also left out in the cold.
Ma Harrier's letter made Zhang Dayuan's anxiety reach the extreme. and Zhang Dayuan were both guards sent by Shunzhi to protect Hong Chengchou, but now, as a former colleague, today's earl of the Dingwu Imperial Court, and a general of the Taiping Army, he persuaded Zhang Dayuan to surrender, which naturally made Zhang Dayuan very uncomfortable.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Zhang Dayuan now regrets that he did not defect to the Taiping Army immediately after Hong Chengchou's death, so that he fell to the current point.
Many people, including Lin Tianqing, thought that Hong Chengchou's last words might have asked Zhang Dayuan to bury him secretly, so as not to dig him out of the ground and scatter ashes in the future if Wu Sangui was defeated.
In fact, Hong Chengchou's coffin was indeed secretly buried by Zhang Dayuan, but Hong Chengchou's last words were not this, but asked Zhang Dayuan to exchange Yunnan Province for the safety of his son Hong Shiming when necessary.
Zhang Dayuan didn't expect that Lao Jingluo would let him surrender to the Taiping Army before he died to save his son's life, but he was relieved to think about it.
Hong Chengchou is also a human being, and if he is a human being, it is impossible to be really ruthless and unrighteous and have nothing to worry about.
The "necessary time" mentioned by Hong Chengchou obviously refers to the time when Wu Sangui was in a worrying situation, and at that time, Wu Sangui had already led the main force to the north and captured Shaanxi and Gansu, and the situation was very favorable.
Naturally, Zhang Dayuan could not have chosen to surrender to the Taiping Army at that time.
But the dead Hong Chengchou didn't expect it, and Zhang Dayuan didn't expect that as soon as the news of Hong Chengchou's death reached Jiangnan, Zhou Shixiang asked Hong Shiming to be hanged.
It's too fast, and it's too vicious.
You must know that at that time, Hong Shiming was not only the son of Hong Chengchou, but also the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Dingwu Imperial Court, and the drafter of the edict of the Dingwu Inspectorate and the Northern Expedition.
Such a very important person, Zhou Shixiang just said that he would kill him, without any hesitation at all, and there was no room at all.
When Zhang Dayuan heard the news of Hong Shiming's death, he was shocked for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing that Lin Tianqing was fighting hotly with Guiyang and Bianwai, and secretly bribed his subordinates, Zhang Dayuan was really anxious, and finally, he made a decision.
On the second day of the fourth month, Zhang Dayuan secretly left the station with his personal guards, and went straight to Pu'an Prefecture, which was controlled by the Taiping Army, avoiding Lin Tianqing's ears and eyes from the trail.
Zhang Dayuan didn't communicate with Wang Xuan, because Wang Xuan is now a mud bodhisattva, one has no power, and the other has no soldiers, so he locked himself in the house and didn't go out.
It's okay in this way, at least whether it is Lin Tianqing or Zhang Dayuan, they will not regard him as a potential threat, no matter who wins in the end, Wang Xuan's life can always be saved, and when the time comes, he will always be able to continue to be his official with a surrender of the Taiping Army.
Four days later, Zhang Dayuan arrived in Pu'an Prefecture, did not dare to delay for a moment, revealed his identity to the Taiping army on the opposite side, and asked to enter the city.
When the Taiping army in the city learned of Zhang Dayuan's identity, they immediately welcomed him in, and then Zhang Yue, the deputy general stationed in Pu'an Prefecture, met Zhang Dayuan in person.
Along with Zhang Yue was Li Zhiting, who had just been appointed as the right-hand ruler of Guizhou, and was now the presiding officer in charge of recruiting Yunnan.
Zhang Dayuan came to Pu'an Prefecture in person, which already explained everything, so Zhang Yue didn't have to guess his intentions at all, and directly asked him when he could do it anyway.
Zhang Dayuan was a little hesitant, because the other party had not yet given the treatment arrangements after surrender.
Just when he hesitated, Li Zhiting chuckled lightly and ordered someone to fetch a box, which turned out to be full of Toucheng written by Wu Jun in Yunnan, and many of them were Zhang Dayuan's subordinates who had always been trusted.
Zhang Dayuan was taken aback, he couldn't believe it, took these letters, read a few letters, his face was like ashes, he put down these letters tremblingly, and sighed: "It seems that I just don't surrender, and this Yunnan is also your army's." ” "Even if there are no people to do internal response, taking Yunnan is not a laborious task for my Taiping army at all."

When Zhang Yue said this, his face was very proud, he had already received the news that it would not be long before his soldiers and horses would be incorporated into the new Fifth Army of the five main forces, which was extremely majestic and promising.
When Zhang Dayuan heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart, he felt a little despised and despised him, which made him very unbearable, if he didn't really have no way out, he was afraid that he would pat his ass and leave, and then fight with the Taiping Army to see who was more powerful.
Zhang Yue glanced at Li Zhiting, and the latter said, "Actually, we have already calculated an account for Yunnan. ” "Reckoning" Zhang Dayuan was puzzled, what kind of account was the next sudden in his heart, it would not be the account of their invasion of Yunnan to kill people and set fires.
If you really want to settle this account, what else do you vote for, and you can be pulled down by dying in battle.
"Don't be nervous, Lord Admiral."
Li Zhiting observed the words, took it in place, and said slowly: "If we are not mistaken, I am afraid that the grain and grass of your army will not last long."
In other words, we will do nothing, and in another half a year, I am afraid that you will not have the strength to fight with us. ” "Not necessarily, our army still has plenty of food and grass, if you don't believe it, you can let the horses come" Zhang Dayuan flatly denied it, and Zhang Yue sneered: "Ming people don't say secret words, whether this is the case, Admiral Zhang knows it in his heart, why bother to hold on."
The fact that the Admiral is here in person has already explained the problem, and in this case, we might as well open the skylight and say something, so as to save the two sides any misunderstanding. ” Zhang Dayuan was silent after hearing this, but he was muttering in his heart that these two people have said that up to now, every sentence has a threatening meaning, how can there be a little attitude of surrender, could it be that Lin Tianqing has already negotiated with them, so he is so cold to me However, Li Zhiting's next words rekindled his hope.
"The marshal of my family said that as long as the generals of the Wu army are willing to be attached, all the lives of the people can be guaranteed, and the generals will retain their military positions, and they can be reused like General Zhang."
Zhang Dayuan's heart moved, and he was about to speak, Li Zhiting changed his words, but said again: "It's just that Governor Lin is also in contact with us, so it is a troublesome matter who we want to talk to about the annexation of Yunnan."
If Lin Futai descends at that time, but Admiral Zhang does not descend, then how can it be the same thing, Admiral Zhang descends, but Lin Futai does not descend, wouldn't we have to spend a lot of time. ” "We can't figure out who can call the shots between Governor Lin and Admiral Zhang, so we have to confirm who has the final say in Yunnan," Zhang Yue got up and said.
Zhang Dayuan was stunned and blurted out: "I am the governor of Yunnan, with elite soldiers and horses, of course I have the final say in Yunnan."
Li Zhiting shook his head and said, "As far as we know, although the elite of Yunnan is in the hands of the Admiral, the soldiers and horses in Kunming City seem to be Governor Lin's people.
So even if the Admiral is willing to surrender, and Kunming City does not surrender, things will be a little tricky. ” "Compared to Lin Futai, we prefer to believe in you, Lord Admiral, but we don't want to see any changes happen in Kunming."
As soon as Zhang Yue's voice fell, Li Zhiting continued: "As long as Admiral Zhang can solve the trouble in Kunming, we will recognize you, Admiral." ” "Although Kunming has been fired, the city wall is still intact.
Lin Tianqing is also quite popular, he has some prestige in the army, and he is also wary of me, I am afraid that it will not be easy to solve. ” Zhang Dayuan is not a lie, but the truth, although he believes that his soldiers and horses are more elite than Lin Tianqing, but the other party occupies Kunming City, so he has no way to solve Kunming by force.
Otherwise, he would have already gotten rid of Lin Tianqing.
"Is it difficult to solve, or unwilling to solve" Li Zhiting looked at Zhang Dayuan with a smile.
Zhang Yue kindly reminded Zhang Dayuan: "No wonder I didn't remind the Admiral, Lin Futai will negotiate with us at any time, and if there are any conditions on the Admiral's side, I'm afraid that we can agree, and the marshal will not agree." ” Zhang Yue and Li Zhiting pressed forward step by step, and Zhang Dayuan finally relented, saying that he would find a way to solve Lin Tianqing after he went back.
Hearing this, Zhang Yue and Li Zhiting glanced at each other, and the joy in their eyes could not be hidden.
Although Lin Tianqing showed his "goodwill" to Guiyang, it was far from enough, and the conditions he offered were unacceptable.
The meaning of the king of Qi was very clear, that is, Yunnan must be taken over by the Taiping army, and the Wu army and Tusi armed forces in the territory must also be reorganized, which is too different from the "autonomy" of Yunnan proposed by Lin Tianqing, resulting in the delay in negotiating between the two sides.
Because of the delay in resolving the affairs of Yunnan, Zhou Shixiang was very dissatisfied, and the tone of the instructions to Guizhou was very harsh, and Shao Jiugong and Lu Guangzu, who were in command, had already begun to deploy into the battle of Yunnan.
But now, if Lin Tianqing can be solved through Zhang Dayuan, it will naturally be a great thing to take over Yunnan without spending a single soldier.
Zhang Yue and Li Zhiting hosted a banquet to entertain Zhang Dayuan, and during the banquet, Zhang Yue suddenly asked Zhang Dayuan where Hong Chengchou was buried.
"What are you asking for, Hong Lao Jinglu is already dead" Zhang Dayuan held the wine glass, looking embarrassed, and in the end, he still said the location of Hong Chengchou's grave.
Zhang Dayuan immediately called his personal guard and ordered him a few words, and the latter immediately responded.
Nine days later, a message reached Nandu that Hong Chengchou's head was being sent quickly.
Zhou Shixiang, the king of Qi, had an order to pass on Hong Chengchou's head to various places.
On the same day, Zhang Dayuan, the governor of Yunnan, took advantage of the fact that Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, was out of the city, and suddenly led the elite soldiers to chase him down and kill him in the eastern suburbs of Kunming.
Subsequently, Zhang Dayuan and Wang Xuan, the envoy of Xuanfu, led more than 200 civil and military personnel in Yunnan, and more than 36,500 officers and soldiers announced the change of banner and joined the Taiping Army.
The Taiping army in Guiyang immediately entered Yunnan, and Shao Jiugong, the governor of the Third Theater, led Wang Youxi, the commander of the New Fifth Army, and Lu Guangzu, the commander of the town, to Mumian Prefecture on the Yunnan-Burma border to welcome the return of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin. oshow7 t1706231537:
