Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 255: life and death

The already crumbling Yongli **** is really a disaster, and every time the situation improves a little, it will be smashed by a ruthless blow, which makes many people with lofty ideals sigh. It is most appropriate to describe the current situation of the Nanming regime with "the house leaking but the continuous rain", and it is also appropriate to describe the Ming army in Guangdong.

The possible deterioration of the situation made the generals of the navy get emotional again. These people are generals who have been following Chen Qice to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and many people have a hatred of destroying their families with the Qing army. In the past few years, they have followed Chen Qice to be trapped on the isolated island, but they are always looking forward to recovering their homeland, but their hopes gradually dissipated with repeated failures. This time I finally won Xinhui City. I originally hoped that Li Dingguo's army could move east again and take Guangzhou in one fell swoop. However, the great event of the emperor's move to Kunming happened. Under the continuous evolution of the situation, they may really become a team trapped in The Jedi's lonely army has no hope of revival, and even more hopeless revenge. How can this not make them feel lost and aggrieved. Some people even thought of the consequences of the Qing army taking advantage of Sun and Li's internal strife to advance south at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts, this Ming really looked like he was going to die.

Looking at a group of subordinates who were pessimistic and confused about the future, the white-haired veteran also sighed. If the situation is as Hu Deyu thought, the Guangxi Qing army would take advantage of Li Dingguo's troops to go to Yunnan and capture Guangxi, and the Qing army in Guangdong would form a pre-pinch attack. , it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Ming army in Guangdong.

National affairs are difficult, why can't I, Da Ming, unite the hearts of the people and unite with the outside world? Why is Sun Kewang already doing the reckless thing for me, the King of Qin of Ming Dynasty, but he still doesn't want to repay it? This is really a disaster for Xiao Qiang, it will be cheaper for the Hu people in the north.

Xiandi, why did you hang yourself in the coal mountain? You know from Jiuquan that today's Ming Dynasty is really going to die!

Chen Qice wiped away the old tears in his eyes unnoticed. He had already made up his mind to die for the country, so no matter how difficult the situation was, the old general would not be afraid. Whether he is Hong Chengchou or Shang Kexi, or Wu Sangui, he is the real Tartar of Manchuria. He also wants to have a meeting with them with the sword in his hand.

Seeing that the generals were arguing endlessly, and the old coach was silent again, Wu Yuan hurriedly stood up to stop the clamoring of the generals, he shouted: "The Qing army hasn't come over yet. Why are you making such a fuss! You can keep the imperial court by making such a fuss. , to defeat the Qing army!"

"The court has told Li Dingguo to move to Kunming. We just want to protect it and Li Dingguo is willing to let us protect it! ... If he really wants to protect the emperor, he shouldn't move the court to Kunming. It's good, the court is thousands of miles away. Outside. We are surrounded by the enemy on both sides, and it is impossible for the **** to say a word to the imperial court, so why not guarantee it!"

The person who spoke was Lu Zhen, the deputy commander-in-chief. He was a hereditary military attache from his ancestors, so he didn't look down on the Daxi Army, and directly called Li Dingguo's name. Although his words were aimed at Li Dingguo, he also expressed the thoughts of everyone. Although Kunming is a safe rear area, it cannot effectively command the Ming army scattered in various places. As far as Guangdong is concerned, Sheng Jia was able to keep in touch with the imperial court and the Guangdong authorities when he was in Anlong. The court moved to Kunming, and once Guangxi was occupied by the Qing army, the Guangdong authorities could no longer have direct contact with the court. The court does not know the situation here, and there is no way to know what the court is doing here. How can we fight this battle?

"When the court moved to Kunming, the King of Xining also had a last resort. You should be clear about this. If King Xining really keeps the Son of Heaven in the army, if something goes wrong with the Son of Heaven, who can bear the responsibility?"

Hu Deyu could not but explain for Li Dingguo. If he were Li Dingguo, he would definitely move the court to Kunming, instead of staying in a place where Sun Kewang's troops could threaten. That would be too dangerous, and Daming could not bear the risk of losing another emperor.

"Is that place in Kunming safe?"

Lu Zhen couldn't listen to Hu Deyu's words. He retorted: "Why can't Li Dingguo move the holy car to our Guangdong, Guangzhou can't go, Leizhou, Lianzhou head office, even Gaozhou will do. The holy car is in our Guangdong, we have to protect the holy car with all our life. Driving safety will never let the emperor make any mistakes. But why didn't Li Dingguo move the holy car to Guangdong? He made it clear that he didn't trust us! Well, as I said, Li Dingguo was selfish, and he wanted to be the second Sun Kewang, he just wants to control the emperor and the court in his own hands!"

These words were heartbreaking. Half of the navy generals present were from hereditary military attaches like Lu Zhen. After hearing Lu Zhen say this, many people nodded in approval. The others were stunned by these words. One Sun Kewang made the situation worse, and another one would be fine.

"Shut up!"

Hearing this, Chen Qice couldn't sit still any longer. He was even more angry than when he scolded Zheng Chengkui before. He pointed at Lu Zhen and shouted angrily: "The king of Xining is the emperor who personally conferred the title of the prince, how dare you slander the prince of the dynasty so much!"

"What lord, he's just a thief..."

Lu Zhen said casually, but suddenly stopped and dared not speak, because he saw that Chen Qice was trembling with anger.

"General, don't be angry, General Lu is just eager for the court and worried about the emperor, so he can't say anything, but it's not his original intention, please don't blame the general."

Seeing that the old general was going to get really angry, Hu Deyu hurriedly stepped forward to block Lu Cheng, and winked to signal him to step back. Lu Zhen didn't really want to annoy Chen Qice, so he just descended down the **** and stopped squeaking.

Chen Qice stomped his feet, unable to hold Lu Zhen, and sat down with a sullen breath.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shixiang could only shake his head secretly, thinking that Li Dingguo's origin in the Great Western Army was still criticized by many officials of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not be completely relieved in a short time. At the same time, I also understand that when Emperor Yongli was still several hundred kilometers away from the Qing army, he was so frightened that he fled westward from Zhaoqing to Guangxi, and then from Guangxi to Guizhou Sun Kewang. The Ming army resisting the Qing army. Knowing that the Son of Heaven had run away without a shadow, the Ming army in Guangdong collapsed suddenly, and Guangdong Province was instantly lost.

It's not been a few years since this happened, so it's hard not to associate this move to Kunming with the last Zhaoqing escape. Although Lu Zhen's words are ugly, they are not unreasonable. At least when the news of Yongli's move to Kunming reaches Xinhui, people will not only think about the impact of Sun Kewang and Li Ding's domestic strife on the situation in Nanming, but also think that this time the emperor is farther away. If Li Dingguo did not move Yongli to Kunming, but sent it to Guangdong, it would definitely improve the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Nanming, and it would also be of great benefit to the overall situation of the anti-Qing dynasty.

But things have happened, and it is useless to think too much. Zhou Shixiang couldn't let the sailors' hearts be shaken because of this incident, and he couldn't let Chen Qice and his generals become pessimistic and passive because they were worried that the Ming Army in Guangdong would fall into the Jedi, and lost the courage to resist. He stepped forward and said to the crowd: "Everyone, the emperor has moved. Kunming. It has a great impact on us, but the current situation is far from the worst, so you don't have to be so pessimistic. Take 10,000 steps back, what if Guangxi is really lost? What? As long as we are here. No one dares to say that Ming is dead!"

Wu Yuan admires Zhou Shixiang, but it doesn't mean that he will be convinced by the Zhuang words in his mouth. He shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, I admire your feat of leading the Taiping Army to stick to the new meeting, but it is not a matter of whether Dayi is on our side or not. It's about whether we can block the attack of the Qing army on both sides."

Zhou Shixiang nodded and said: "Yes, the current situation is not conducive to Daming, Sun Kewang and the King of Xining are in conflict, Sun Kewang will definitely dispatch the main force of the Hunan battlefield south to Yunnan, which will give the Qing army an opportunity. When Sun Kewang and the King of Xining are divided, he is afraid that he will not dare to rashly raise an army. It is said that two tigers fight each other and one will be injured. This truth Hong Laoer will not be ignorant. I predict that Hong Chengchou will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Sun Kewang and the King of Xining will not act until they are divided, so there is no need to worry about the collapse of the Hunan battlefield in the short term."

"As for the Qing army in Shaanxi and Sichuan, the same is true. If Wu Sangui wants to go south from Sichuan, he must first solve his food problem. Don't forget, since the Qing army entered Sichuan, they have massacred our people in central Sichuan, and many places are gone. People, it is impossible for the Qing army to raise grain from Sichuan, and they can only transport grain from Hanzhong. How much food supply and how much manpower is needed for this? Let Wu Sangui solve this problem and then talk about the southward advance, but when the time comes I'm afraid the big scholar won't let Wu Sangui go south so easily."

The scholar Zhou Shixiang mentioned was naturally Wen Anzhi, the governor of Sichuan appointed by the Yongli court. He didn't know the situation of Wen Anzhi and Sichuan at first, but the other party told Chen Qice when he talked with Chen Qice these days.

Wen Anzhi was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, and in the fifth year of Yongli, he asked to go to Sichuan to supervise the soldiers in the towns in central Sichuan. Governor-General of the military affairs of Chuan and Hu. After he arrived in eastern Sichuan, he contacted the thirteen thirteen schools in Kuidong on the border of Sichuan and Hubei to fight against the Qing, attracting and containing the Qing troops in Sichuan and Hubei.

"Hunan Hongchengchou can't go south in the short term, and Sichuan Wu Sangui can't go south right away. What are we worried about? Here in Guangdong, the new club is in our hands. This situation is not good for the Qing army, but for us, as long as the old general is nailed Xinhui, Shang Kexi dares to go all west , right under his nose, if necessary, I will fully cooperate with the old general's actions."

"So now the most important thing is not to passively wait for Sun Kewang and King Xining to decide the outcome, nor to wait for the Qing army to attack us, nor to worry about when Guangxi will fall. The surrounding chaos caused him Shang Kexi not to dare to take advantage of our civil unrest to advance westward, nor to take advantage of us. At the same time, we should contact the Ming armies from all over the world and invite them to join forces in Xinhui to gain momentum. If it is possible, I think it would be a good idea to do so. Hit Guangzhou, even if you can't beat Guangzhou City, you have to scare Shang Kexi, so that he will never dare to take a step out of the city."

Zhou Shixiang continued to talk non-stop, UU reading www. uukanshu.com shocked everyone in the hall to be dumbfounded. Just now, I was clearly worried about falling into the Jedi, but now I can make a living, from a disadvantage to an advantage, not only to contain Shang Kexi, but also to attack Guangzhou.

However, Hu Deyu listened carefully, and after listening, he even revealed the biggest flaw in Zhou Shixiang's plan. He said, "Shang Kexi dare not move, but what about Guoan on the Guangxi line?"

Zhou Shixiang smiled disdainfully, and asked him: "When soldiers come to block, and water comes to flood the soil, Xian Guoan is better than the King of Xining?"

Hu Deyu shook his head: "I can't compare."

Zhou Shixiang asked again: "Is it better than Shang Kexi?"

Hu Deyu shook his head again: "It can't compare."

Zhou Shixiang laughed: "Since it can't be compared, what's the fear, the monk King of Xining can't do anything about the new club, he has a way to go to Guoan!" After speaking, he turned around and folded his fist at Chen Qice, and raised his voice: "Old General , the book says that people will eventually die, either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, today's younger generation is going to do the death that is heavier than Mount Tai, and ask the general to send a boat to send our troops to the other side immediately!"
