Han’s Son is Not a Slave

History tells Zhou Shixiang that Sun Kewang was unable to defeat Li Dingguo, but instead betrayed his relatives and left, and finally surrendered to the Qing army and led the Qing army into Sichuan and Guizhou, thus completely burying Nanming. His opponent, Li Dingguo, stood out in the annals of history as a hero of the Han nationality in the late Ming Dynasty, and was admired, missed and regretted by future generations.

Sun Kewang obviously has more territory than Li Dingguo, more troops and troops than Li Dingguo, and more generals than Li Dingguo. Sun's army, who is also in the Great Western Army, is no less powerful than Li Dingguo's, but why is he the one who failed?

After all, Zhou Shixiang, who has lived for two generations, is not a historian. He has no way of exploring the failure process and specific reasons of Sun Kewang in detail, but he is clear that the people's heart is not on Sun Kewang, and the righteousness is not on Sun Kewang's side.

The sites still nominally owned by the Yongli court include Yunnan, Guizhou, most of Guangxi, a part of Hunan, a part of Sichuan, part of the coastal areas of Guangdong, and the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. These sites, including the areas controlled by Sun Kewang, are respected Emperor Yongli, even the Lu kings Zhu Yihai and Zheng Chenggong, who did not listen to the tune or propaganda, all regarded Yongli as Zhengshuo, and the Qing court always regarded the Yongli court as the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty. continue.

When Li Dingguo was a king, 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. It can be seen that the Nanming orthodoxy represented by the Yongli court is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it is far from being replaced by Sun Kewang, who was born as a rogue.

If Sun Kewang really took the reign of Yongli, the first person who would not accept it would be the officials of the Ming Dynasty in the provinces. They could accept the alliance against the Qing Dynasty and the West against the Qing Dynasty, but they would never accept the birth of a new emperor who was not a child of the Zhu family. What's more, it was the last time when the Ming and Qing dynasties were fighting to decide the number of qi of the Han family. At this juncture, the cannibalism of the last resistance force of the Han nation is undoubtedly the early end of the Nanming regime that can survive for several years. What makes people helpless is that even if Sun Kewang failed, Nan Ming still couldn't hold on. Li Dingguo struggled for five years, but he was unable to stop the collapse of the building, and he was also loyal to the border.

The shame of Sun Kewang is not that he wants to make a name for himself. It's not scary to have ambitions. What's scary is that after the ambitions were attacked, Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing court and became a traitor! As a long-term leader of the Daxi Army, he was also a big man who was named King of Qin. His surrender was a huge blow to the morale of Nanming's army, and the resulting losses were even more difficult to measure in money!

It is precisely because of Sun Kewang's surrender to the Qing that the Qing army was able to understand the reality of Nanming, and it also caused the Daxi Army to collapse all the defenses against the Qing army in various battlefields after leaving Yunnan. The Qing army captured him with almost nothing to lose. An inaccessible place to go south.

Every time I think of this. Zhou Shixiang couldn't wait to swallow Sun Kewang alive!

Right now, he is powerless to interfere in the struggle between Sun and Li, and he is powerless to change Sun Kewang to join the enemy, but he can prevent the situation from collapsing so quickly. He wants to influence this historical process. In Xinhui, he did it, and next, he has to do more.

…

Sun Kewang is unpopular, and his subordinates will not follow him into the dark, nor will they be enemies with Li Dingguo, one of the four heroes of the Great Western Army. And they will not be enemies with the emperor in their minds. Maybe in a few months, maybe in the new year, Sun Kewang will definitely be defeated, and the emperor far away in Kunming will be fine.

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

However, Zhou Shixiang only came to Dao Sun with righteousness and people's hearts, and he did not mention the actual power comparison between the two sides, which made Hu Deyu quite reluctant. But he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and naturally he didn't want to see Sun Kewang win, nor did he want to see the navy generals disagree on this matter, and the good situation that had just won the new club fell apart again. Therefore, a few points of view were also stated to support Zhou Shixiang's opinion.

After the analysis by Zhou and Hu, the navy generals also made up their minds. Without the panic feeling that the sky seemed to collapse when they heard that the emperor moved to Kunming just now, they each began to analyze the matter to fight against the situation. influence.

But then Zhou Shixiang mentioned an imminent event. He said to Chen Qice: "The Anlong Mansion has always been controlled by Sun Kewang's troops, but the King of Xining has been resting at the border of Guangdong and Guangxi since he retired from Xinhui at the beginning of the year. Now he leads his headquarters. Soldiers and horses go to protect them, isn’t Guangxi going to re-enter the hands of the Qing army?”

Hearing this, Hu Deyu shook his head and said, "Guangxi's line Guoan was Kong Youde's subordinate. After Kong Youde died, he, along with the commander-in-chief Ma Xiong and Quanjie, led the officials of the prefectures, states and counties appointed by the Qing court to flee to Wuzhou to fight stubbornly. Later, seeing that the troops and horses of the King of Xining could not be stopped, he retreated to Zhaoqing. Three years ago, the King of Xining was ordered by Sun Kewang to lead the troops and horses from Guangxi to Hengyang, Hunan, and participated in the battle of the Manchu Prince Nikan, but he stayed in Guangxi. Our army was very weak, so Shang Kexi of Guangzhou took the opportunity to order Guoan, Ma Xiong, and the whole section to select elite soldiers, together with the Guangdong Navy Vice Admiral Qiang Shijue, to set out from Fengchuan, Guangdong, advance by water and land, and re-occupied Wuzhou."

After a while, he continued: "Later, Lin Guoan took advantage of the emptiness of Guilin to defeat Zhu Xisan, the general of the clan of Anxi, and defeated Yining Bolongtao and the commander Liao Fengbu in Pingle, and occupied Guilin again. After that, Lin Guoan, Quanjie and Qing court appointed The governor of Guangxi, Chen Weixin, has been entrenched in Guilin and Wuzhou. The King of Xining wanted to pull out this nail before attacking Guangdong for the first time. He led his troops to attack Guilin again. According to Guilin and Wuzhou, the King of Xining has also been stationed at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi in the past two years, so Xian Guoan and others only dared to take the defensive and dare not send troops to attack everywhere. But now the King of Xining took his troops to Kunming and stayed in Guangxi. There are definitely not many soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to say whether Xian Guoan will honestly hide in Guilin."

Speaking of this, Hu Deyu's face darkened, apparently not thinking that Xian Guoan would let Li Dingguo the great opportunity that the tiger was not in Guangxi to take action.

Chen Qice said slowly: "If Guangxi is completely occupied by the Qing army, the news between us and the imperial court will be completely lost. There are the Qing army in Guangdong before and the Qing army in Guangxi after. Our situation will be more difficult than ever. "

It was the first time that Zhou Shixiang heard someone explain the situation in Guangxi~www.NovelMTL.com~ Before, he always thought that since Kong Youde was defeated, Guangxi had all fallen into the hands of the Ming army. Now, according to Hu Deyu, there are still Qing forces in Guangxi. , What's more terrible is that Guilin, the capital of Guangxi, is still in the hands of the Qing army. Doesn't this mean that Li Dingguo's battle with Kong Youde in Guangxi was completely useless!

He inflicted heavy damage on the enemy army, forced the enemy's main general to commit suicide, and seized strategically important cities. In the end, he did not send troops to clear the remaining enemy soldiers. In the end, he transferred the main force away, making all the previous efforts in vain. How did this battle go? What did Li Dingguo think?

It was very difficult for Zhou Shixiang to understand Li Dingguo's strategic view of Guangxi. He didn't know anything else, but he knew that if Guangxi was lost, the Ming army in Guangdong would become a lonely army and would be attacked by Qing troops from Guangzhou and Guangxi. In other words, all the Ming troops who were still fighting against the Qing in Guangdong were trapped in the Jedi.

"Guangxi is over, so are we!"

"Xian Guoan in Guilin is just a hungry dog, can he come up and bite when he sees a bone?"

"If Guangxi is lost, the Qing court will definitely order Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao to go west, and Hong Chengchou in Hunan will not miss this opportunity. If Wu Sangui, the thief, goes south from Sichuan, will this battle be fought again?" continued.
