King Jin asked carefully about the details of the restoration of Nandu, and Bai Wenxuan took out the letter from Feng Shuangli, King of Qingyang, for King Jin to read.

After King Jin looked at it, he didn't speak for a long time.

In Feng Shuangli's letter, it was stated that after the emperor abandoned the country, the Taiping army supported Zhu Yue, the king of Tang, in Guangdong to supervise the country. After that, Zhou Shi, the Duke of Yue, led a northern expedition, first to Jiangxi, and then to Nandu. At this moment, they were confronting the Qing Shunzhi army across the river. At the same time, the three provinces of Guangxi, Hunan, and Hubei were all recovered, and Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Qing, Huguang, and Kaicheng surrendered.

Feng Shuangli is also known as the Southern Capital, and the Tang supervisor will definitely go to the Southern Capital to worship the Xiaoling Mausoleum and ascend the throne. Although Feng Shuangli did not have any exact words in his letter indicating that he would support Tang, he said that he had made contact with the loyal camp occupying Huguang and sent envoys to the southern capital. This attitude undoubtedly shows that Feng Shuangli has fallen to Tang Fan between Tang and Gui.

Bai Wenxuan has no distaste for Feng Shuangli's choice, and he would do the same. After all, Tang Fan has now owned half of the wall, but the emperor has abandoned the country and fled, and now he has become a prisoner of the Qing army. No one will be willing to embrace this emperor again. It's just that he knew that King Jin had always been loyal to the emperor, so he guessed that King Jin would definitely not abandon Yongli, and instead chose to respond to support Tang and lead his troops to Guangxi, so he did not dare to inquire.

Wu Sanxing hesitated, and asked the King of Jin: "Now that the southern capital has recovered, the emperor has fallen into the hands of Wu Sangui. I wonder what His Highness plans to do?"

King Jin didn't think too much. After putting down the letter, he looked at Bai Wenxuan and Wu Sanxing and said, "The most urgent task is to save the emperor."

"How to save?"

Bai Wenxuan was a little embarrassed, "My troops and horses together are not more than 10,000, and the sergeants are injured and sick. Several important roads in southern Yunnan are occupied by the Qing army, and it may be difficult to rescue the emperor."

Bai Wenxuan is telling the truth. He has only more than 4,000 people, including 499 officials, more than 3,800 soldiers, 3,260 horses, and 12 elephants. King Jin had 469 officials, more than 4,520 soldiers, 2,954 horses and 32 elephants. In addition to the 2,630 officers and soldiers brought from Mengding by the three provinces of Wu, the Ming army added only more than 10,000 soldiers, and nearly half of them were injured and sick, and the number of soldiers who could fight was less than 5,000. As for the Qing army in Yunnan and Guizhou, Wu Sangui alone has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and its strength is more than ten times that of the Ming army. It also controls the large and small cities and important roads in southern Yunnan. Therefore, in theory, the Ming army is unable to fight back to Yunnan at all. What did Hugh mention save the emperor? If the King of Jin insisted on going to Yunnan, he would have no chance of winning, and there would even be the danger of the entire army being wiped out.

The King of Jin, however, said that the news of the restoration of the southern capital would be widely distributed to the chieftains in various places, inviting them to join forces to attack Yunnan. In addition, the King of Jin also said that although Wu Sangui had many troops, most of them were descended from the Ming army, and most of those descended soldiers of the Ming army were from the old part of the Daxi Army, and they might not fight to the death with their former comrades.

"In the past, Ma Bao and the others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because of the collapse of the situation, and they chose a way out in despair. Now the Tartars have lost the southern capital, and only Yungui is in the hands of the Qing army. He Duoni is like a bird in a cage. So I think Wu Sangui's worries at the moment should be bigger than ours. If we march north, not to mention that the followers are like clouds. The same is true for those chieftains. The current situation is beneficial to me, and they will always be moved. In short, no matter what, the emperor is covered in dust. Even if we are the ministers, we must save him even if we sacrifice our lives. Otherwise, why are we ministers?"

King Jin insisted on saving the Son of Heaven. Although Bai Wenxuan and Wu Sanxing were reluctant, they couldn't persuade him, and they couldn't bear to see King Jin sad, so they all agreed. But they all persuaded the King of Jin to recuperate first, and then go north when he was completely healed. King Jin also knew that his body was related to the fate of the whole army, so he agreed. As long as the disease is slightly better, and the cavalry can lead the army back north.

A few days later, more than 60 envoys from the Kingdom of Siam (that is, Thailand) came to contact them, asking the King of Jin to move his army to the scenic line for a temporary rest, and then Siam would provide elephants and horses to help the Ming army recover Yunnan. In addition to bringing rich gifts, the Siamese envoys also took out the edicts and documents given by Emperor Shenzong to express their nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty.

The Siamese messenger told the King of Jin: "Eighty-two of the former are with him, and they are living in our country.

The King of Jin was naturally moved, and was very grateful for the kindness of the Siamese monarchs and ministers. He hospitable to the envoy, and sent Zhang Xinhe, the head of the military department, and other more than ten people to contact Siam. If Siam can send troops to help, there is no doubt that the restoration of the country will be even more powerful.

During the half month of King Jin's recuperation, the chieftains in various places received news of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty's southern capital. Sure enough, many chieftains thought that the Ming Dynasty could be restored, and no longer adopted a wait-and-see or hostile attitude towards the Ming army, or brought their clansmen to join forces with the Ming army. , or to provide food and grass, which eased the plight of the Ming army.

On October 27, the King of Jin decided to lead his army north to rescue the emperor. There were more than 6,000 Ming troops, more than 5,000 Tusi soldiers, and more than 2,000 Ming army scattered troops from western Yunnan.

After the news that Li Dingguo returned from the border and wanted to rescue Zhu Youlang, Wu Sangui felt troubled.

Wu Sangui knew that the news about the Taiping army's recovery of the southern capital would not be blocked for long. Not to mention that Li Dingguo learned the news from other sources, even some of his descendants would leak the news. What troubles him is that the news that Li Dingguo came to rescue Zhu Youlang with great fanfare will reach Donnie in Guiyang. Although he's not afraid of the yellow-haired boy Duny, it's always a big trouble. After all, he hasn't decided to return to Ming anyway.

After thinking about it, Wu Sangui decided to send his second son-in-law Guo Zhuangtu and Ma Bao to lead an army of 20,000 to resist Li Dingguo's soldiers, not to defeat Li Dingguo, but to keep him out of the country. As for Duny, biting to death is a rumor.

The Ming and Qing sides met in Mengyang. Li Dingguo set up camp on the mountain and kept alert. The next day, the two sides fought each other. Because Ma Bao did not want to fight the King of Jin, so he saw that the outcome was not divided, and the losses on both sides were not large, so he persuaded Guo Zhuangtu to withdraw his troops and asked the King of Pingxi to make another plan.

Guo Zhuangtu knew that his father-in-law wanted to embrace Zhu Youlang and change his banner anyway, so he did not want to fight with Li Dingguo~www.NovelMTL.com~, so he led the army to withdraw, leaving only elite soldiers to guard the main road, preventing the Ming army from going deep into Yunnan.

Wu Sangui did not blame Guo Zhuangtu and Ma Bao for withdrawing from the army, because he also did not want to fight with Li Dingguo, which would deplete his strength. But Li Dingguo did not retreat. In the end, he still had to fight a **** battle. No matter the victory or defeat, there would be losses. To this end, he asked Hong Chengchou for an idea, and Hong Chengchou laughed: "I heard that Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan went to Burma to rescue Zhu Youlang, but Zhu Youlang ordered them to retreat, and told the Burmese, but there were people who came to save him. Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers can be killed and wiped out. You have this treasure in your hand, why not use it?"

Wu Sangui was right when he thought about it, and rushed to force Zhu Youlang to write an imperial decree for Li Dingguo to surrender.

Zhu Youlang really wrote it honestly. The imperial decree not only asked Li Dingguo to surrender to Wu Sangui, but also wrote: "I am at the King of Pingxi, and everything is in order. Now Dingguo is only seeking his own name, and does not read my danger, is it He Zhongchen?!"

Not only that, Zhu Youlang also issued a decree to the chieftains of various places, which said: "Dingguo only cares about loyalty and honor, and does not care about the safety of the emperor. In the future, there will be soldiers from various battalions in Dingguo, and they should not be given food and salaries. Suppression is also meritorious!"

After seeing the imperial decree, Li Dingguo was so angry that he vomited blood and cried: "It's not that Dingguo loses the ruler, it's the ruler who loses Dingguo! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
