Cheng Bangjun's reason can't be said to be wrong. If the Guangdong Ming army can send troops to Guangxi to get in touch with the Yunnan court, then the situation can be restored to the situation in the eighth year of Yongli. At that time, Li Dingguo was still entrenched in Gaozhou. The Qing army failed to destroy the Qing army, and the provincial capital Guilin was also controlled by the Qing army, but Nanning, Liuzhou and other prefectures, states and counties were still in the hands of the Ming army, so the connection between Guangdong and Yunnan was not interrupted, and the news of Anlong's presence There was no interruption, which enabled the Guangdong Ming Army as a whole to be able to know the court's movements and obey the court's dispatch and command in a timely manner. From this point, the Governor of Guangdong, Lian Chengbi, and the great scholar Guo Zhiqi mobilized all the forces in Guangdong to cooperate with Li Dingguo's second eastward advance. As can be seen.

The current situation is that Li Dingguo went to Kunming with his elite troops to protect Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, and Guoan on the Guangxi line was also an outstanding person. He immediately saw the right time to send troops to attack the Guangxi prefectures controlled by the Ming army. ▼文⌒▼Xue, ww ●w.c£fwx.ne⊕t state, captured the entire province of Guangxi in a short period of time, and cut off the connection between the Guangdong Ming army and Yunnan. Turned the Guangdong Ming Army into a lone army.

It was precisely because the road was blocked that Zhou Shixiang asked General Linghai Chen Qice to help, and two ships of the Marine Division took Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu from Xiangshan to Fangcheng County in Qinzhou. From there, take the road to Kunming, which passes through Nanning and then turns to go. (Author's note: Qinzhou, Guangdong in Ming Dynasty included the Guangxi site of later generations)

When he decided to go this route, Zhou Shixiang didn't know that Nanning had been captured by the Qing army. As a result, Liang Shuanghu and the others encountered a group of Qing soldiers near Nanning. Fortunately, this group of Qing soldiers only went to the countryside to collect grain, and the number was not large. Liang Shuanghu's men They were also led by the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army, and they defeated the Qing soldiers in a single charge. The locals had to point out the path, so that they could safely pass through the area occupied by the Qing army to reach Yunnan, or else the team would be intercepted by the Qing army halfway.

Cheng Bangjun returned from Guangdong last year. He was promoted from Lang Zhong to be the chief of the Fang Division. Because he had traveled to Guangdong many times, the Ministry of War asked him to go to Guangdong again to pass the decree, and at the same time cooperate with the Governor of Guangdong, Lian Chengbi, to integrate the forces of the Ming army in Guangdong. To restore Guangdong and Guangxi.

Cheng Bangjun knew that it was very dangerous to go to Guangdong now. So he, like the scholar Guo Zhiqi when he came from Guangdong, pretended to be a Taoist priest, and only then passed the checkpoint set up by the Qing army in Guangxi.

It is precisely because of the experience along the way that Cheng Bangjun deeply felt the threat of the Qing army in Guangxi to Yunnan and Guangdong, so after arriving in Guangdong, he first went to Qinzhou to visit the Governor Lianchengbi. I strongly request that Lianchengbi can send troops to attack the front line Guoan and open up the passage between Yunnan and Guangdong. Otherwise, the court did not know the situation in Guangdong, and Guangdong did not know the trend of the court.

Even the city walls were deeply touched. He knew that the Ming army on the Guangdong side had actually become a lonely army. It could neither deal with the Qing army in Guangdong alone, nor provide any support to the court, and was surrounded by the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi. If the channel with Yunnan cannot be opened up, once the Qing army from Guangdong and Guangxi join forces, the situation in Guangdong will definitely collapse.

In fact, compared to the recovery of Guangdong, Lianchengbi was more concerned about the safety of Emperor Yongli. When he heard that the King of Jin had moved the emperor from Anlong to Kunming, he knew that Sun Kewang would definitely not give up and would definitely send troops to Kunming. But he was in Guangdong and could not cross the Qing army from Guangxi to lead the troops to King Qin in Kunming, so he was worried, and he did not make corresponding arrangements in time for the major changes that occurred in Xinhui.

After Guo Zhiqi went to Kunming, Lianchengbi sat at the governor's yamen every day and waited for news, praying for the emperor every day, hoping that Li Dingguo would defeat the thief Sun Kewang, and he did not fulfill the duties of a governor for the affairs of Guangdong. Such negative actions not only displeased Chen Qice, Zhu Tong and others in Xinhui, but also disappointed a group of his staff. The actions of the Governor-General or the behavior of loyal ministers were not the actions of good ministers.

Cheng Bangjun's arrival made Lian Chengbi aware of the latest trends of the court. He knew that although Sun Kewang had openly sent troops to Yunnan, he had not yet penetrated into Yunnan. King Li Dingguo of Jin led his troops to fight, and the emperor ordered Liu Wenxiu, king of Shu, to enter Sichuan. The leading army came back to rescue, and even the city walls felt a little relieved.

For Cheng Bangjun's request, Lianchengbi was not unwilling, but Governor Lian is now powerless. The situation he faces is as complicated as Li Dingguo, the King of Jin who is dealing with Sun Kewang's army in Qujing, Yunnan.

The Ming army in Guangdong was scattered all over the place, with many hilltops, including the original Daming officers and troops, a small number of soldiers and horses left by Li Dingguo, and the rest of Li Chengdong. After Li Chengdong died, these people pushed his son Li Yuanyin to lead the fight against the Qing Dynasty. After Lin Zhan died, they still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, but they were unwilling to obey the command of Lianchengbi. As a result, Lianchengbi had the name of the governor, but could not command these Ming troops with his own appeal. He could actually be mobilized. It is nothing more than a few thousand direct descendants of the Ming army in Qinzhou. As for those righteous teachers, Lian Chengbi never counted on them.

Back then, when King Jin made two eastward marches, the Ming army and righteous divisions from all over Guangdong responded, but now even the city walls have the honor of being a governor, but they can only command Qinzhou's troops. A world of difference.

It is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice, and even the city wall has the intention to open up the channel to communicate with the court, but suffers from the lack of soldiers and horses to execute it. Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, learned of this after arriving from Gaozhou, and suggested that the Taiping army from Xiangshan should be transferred to Qinzhou by the governor's warrant, and then the Taiping army should be sent to Guangxi.

Zhang Xiaoqi believed that the Taiping army had over 10,000 troops and had defeated the Qing army several times before and after. It was Daming's loss to place these elite soldiers in Xiangshan, and they should be placed in a more useful place, so it is undoubtedly a good choice to let the Taiping army go to Guangxi.

Lian Chengbi was hesitant. Although the newly formed Taiping army could fight, it was not the original Daming army, but Zhou Shixiang's own troops, who had never received any money and food supplies from him, and now suddenly asked others to obey orders to fight. Guangxi, he really can't open this mouth. Moreover, the emperor has appointed Zhou Shixiang as the general soldier of Guangzhou, not the general soldier of Guangxi, so it is not reasonable to assign the Taiping army to attack Guangxi.

In fact, the real reason why Lianchengbi couldn't decide was that he had only scolded Zhou Shixiang a few days ago, and sent Zhou Shixiang's senior officials to Kunming. Now that they have to sacrifice their lives, the Governor has to consider how thick his own skin is.

Lianchengbi said that he would wait for the scholar Guo Zhiqi to come back before discussing the matter. Zhang Xiaoqi was helpless and stopped talking about it.

Cheng Bangjun took Zhang Xiaoqi's proposal very seriously. He couldn't wait to arrive at Xiangshan. After declaring the decree, he urged Zhou Shixiang to immediately march westward, either by land or by water. The whole army must arrive before August. Qinzhou, and then marched to Guangxi.

In order to encourage Zhou Shixiang to lead the army westward, Cheng Bangjun even secretly hinted in front of Duke Xiang of Song that if the Taiping army could advance westward to Guangxi and conquer Guangxi in one fell swoop, the court would definitely be named king according to Li Chengdong's old practice, and Zhou Shixiang's officers and men would be named princes and hougeng. is a cinch.

Cheng Bangjun further said that although the Taiping army defeated the Qing army twice near Guangzhou, it still returned to Xiangshan when it arrived and could not gain a real foothold in Guangzhou. Since the Taiping army did not have the ability to attack Guangzhou, it would be better to go to Guangxi to contribute to the imperial court and Taiping. It is better for the army to seek a real territory than to occupy a small place like Fragrant Mountain.

Song Xianggong told Zhou Shixiang what he said, but Zhou Shixiang sneered. Cheng Bangjun, a little boss, really thought he was a cabinet scholar, and he dared to mention the country, and he was open to him. Can the little boss say it!

The Yongli court really wanted to enter Guangxi by itself, so it had to send a great scholar to tell him, or even the city walls to tell him, at worst, there must be an imperial decree, where is the head of the military department? The white-toothed one.

Zhou Shixiang didn't even think about going to Guangxi. He finally brought the Taiping army to Xiangshan, and finally gave the Qing army two blood in Guangzhou. Now is the good time to consume the fruits of victory while the two sides are on strike and consolidate the Xiangshan and Taiping army. If your brain is broken, you will take the team to Qinzhou to accept the command of Lianchengbi to fight Guangxi.

"Go tell Cheng Bangjun, I'm so busy right now that I really can't find time to see him. If he wants to leave, we will send someone to **** him away. If he doesn't want to leave, then stay here. In Xiangshan, do whatever you want with him. Wait until Ben Shuai is done with the things at hand."

After Song Xianggong euphemistically told Cheng Bangjun what Zhou Shixiang said, Cheng Bangjun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and he went to Xinhui with a flick of his sleeves. Zhou Shixiang hit a wall here, and Chen Qice and Zhu Tong might not be reluctant to do this for the court.

When Cheng Bang came to Xinhui in a hurry, Zhou Shixiang was inspecting the 3,000 pieces of new military uniforms that had just been made in the newly established Taiping Army Uniforms Division in Yongle Township.

The person in charge of the department is Lin Waner's father, Lin Wanfu, but it is the Yang family from Taida Buxing in Luoding Prefecture who make the military uniforms.

Because Daming is red with fire, and Guangdong is already hot, if the former black is still used, the Taiping army should not expect to be active in the sun, and the heat can kill people, so this time the new The uniforms are all red. In addition, considering the climate of Guangdong, these 3,000 new military uniforms are all cloth armor instead of cotton armor. They are made of cloth, with iron armor in the middle and nails on the surface.

The cloth used to make the military uniforms was all stolen, and even most of the women who made the military uniforms were captured by the Taiping Army in the name of "voluntary". (To be continued.)
