Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, was furious and cut down the probe horse that went to investigate, and asked the general soldier of Chongkui to send someone to investigate. The guards didn't dare to delay, and ran all the way to Cheng Tingjun's station. After recounting the governor's order, Cheng Tingjun was shocked and wanted a rebellion in the south, and the road into Sichuan in Boryeong was cut off. Their army in Sichuan was alone. If you can't open the connection between Sichuan and Hanzhong in time, you can only retreat to Huguang. Several other roads back to the north in Sichuan are much more difficult than this one, and there is no food and grass supply along the way.

Cheng Tingjun hurriedly arranged for the horses to be explored, and asked them to go to Baoning Mansion to investigate. I had just arranged for a long time to see that Liang Jiaqi, the chief soldier of the Fu Suppression Bureau, came over and asked: "What's wrong with Cheng Junmen, hurriedly sent a scout horse out, could it be that those puppet Ming rebels in Kuidong are coming to Chongqing again?" They're really not giving up. ”

Cheng Tingjun said: "It's not Kuidong, it's Baoning." Just now, the Governor asked me to quickly send a scout horse to Baoning to investigate, saying that there was a rebellion in the southern county that had cut off the post road, and the official documents and newspapers from Shunqing Mansion could only be sent to the Governor. ”

Liang Jiaqi was also taken aback, and said: "How can it be Baoning, if something happens to Baoning, it will be terrible." I think we'd better go to the Governor's side. Cheng Tingjun said: "I also have this intention, let's go together" Saying that, the two rushed to the mansion together.

To say that Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing court, joined the army under Zuo Liangyu in his early years, and by the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he had accumulated merit and was promoted to the general army. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu died of illness, and Li Guoying and Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court incorporated Li Guoying into the Han Army's Red Banner. Then in the third year of Shunzhi, he followed Prince Su Haoge to march into Sichuan and crusade against Zhang Xianzhong. After the Qing army captured Chengdu, Li Guoying was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Chengdu Prefecture for his merits. Soon, after the massacre of the people in Chengdu, the money and grain were looted and transported to northern Sichuan. Because of the atrocities of the Qing soldiers, the people in the middle of the legend rebelled fiercely, just at this time Liu Wenxiu, who was still the king of Funan, entered Sichuan to preside over the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Wenxiu entered Sichuan and attacked all the way, defeating Wu Sangui, Li Guohan, and Li Guoying who were stationed in Chengdu by the Qing soldiers. The three of them only had 100 people to escape, and when Li Yingying fled, he asked his general Liang Yixun to slaughter the city in Chengdu, and then retreated to Mianzhou, and the people were all slaughtered. Wu Sangui and the other three were frightened and planned to abandon Sichuan and retreat to Hanzhong. Finally, Li Guoying is the governor of Sichuan and has the responsibility of defending the territory. Fearing that the Qing court would investigate the responsibility for the loss of land, he strongly demanded to defend Baoning, and defended the last stronghold of Sichuan for the Qing court, and was later appointed as the governor of Sichuan by the Qing court.

After Li Guoying became governor, he implemented a brutal massacre policy against Sichuan, mixing people and thieves, and making it difficult to distinguish jade from jade. or slaughter the whole city, or slaughter the men and keep the women. Slaughtered the cities of Baoning and Shunqing, which had already been occupied, and repeatedly sent troops to massacre and plunder Long'an, Mianzhou, Tongchuan, Dazhou and other places that had not surrendered to the Qing court. The population of Sichuan was drastically reduced, resulting in a large number of no-man's land, which led to the Ming army wanting to counterattack Baoning again, and there was no place in northern Sichuan to get food.

Even in the fourth year of Shunzhi, when Li Yingying sent the general soldier Ma Huabao to attack Yang Zhan in Xuzhou, the Qing soldiers besieged the city for eight months. Because the Qing soldiers had no grain and grass, they went to the nearby county town to loot, and as a result, they searched a total of 48 stone rice and 9 stone coarse rice. The Qing soldiers had no choice but to kill the horses, and then they ate them in a few days. Seeing that there was no food, the Qing soldiers directly arrested the common people to eat. Later, he actually spread rumors that Zhang Xianzhong was eating people in Sichuan, and sure enough, history was written by the victors.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the Qing troops attacked Zhongjiang, Tongchuan, and shot floods, and the capture was not counted. This useless is very good, don't say how many kills, do you really don't know how many soldiers you killed? At that time, the Ming army in a city in Sichuan garrison was mostly five or six thousand, and as few as one or two thousand. What is this trying to cover up?

When the Qing army attacked Beichuan in the seventh year of Shunzhi, Shangzhai killed 100 rebels, jumped off the cliff and fell to the dead. There are countless again, a total of 100 people were killed, and countless people jumped off the cliff and died. And then it was the women, the money.

In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Qing soldiers killed 40,000 thieves in Baoning, were they soldiers or people?

Li Guoying's massacre and plundering made the Qing soldiers themselves have no food to obtain. It also made Tan Hong and Tan Yi attack Baoning, and Liu Wenxiu's second attack on Baoning was defeated by Li Yingying's troops to harass the grain road.

The sins committed by Li Guoying and the Qing soldiers in Sichuan are too numerous to mention, and countless anti-Qing people died by this executioner, but the crimes of the Qing soldiers were finally covered up by the rule, and countless lies were made up to disturb the public and the public, and the blame was blamed on Zhang Xianzhong, saying that Zhang Xianzhong was going to slaughter the Sichuan people to vent his anger when he saw the defeat, and finally Zhang Xianzhong only had a dozen people around him when he fought with the Qing soldiers. If Zhang Xianzhong really did this, he would have died in Sichuan without Qing soldiers to kill him. Could it be that when the Qing soldiers and Zhang Xianzhong fought against Yu Xichong, they were blocked by Zhang Xianzhong's more than a dozen people, and tens of thousands of Qing soldiers? After Zhang Xianzhong was shot by Haoge, the Qing soldiers killed 40,000 soldiers in the ground? In the good news to the imperial court, it was said that more than 130 places in the camp were imagined by illusion?

It is also said that the Ming army is full of warlords, attacking each other and slaughtering the people. So how did Liu Wenxiu regain the hearts of the Sichuan people when he entered Sichuan for the second time? There is also when the Ming army was in Sichuan, a city could garrison 2,000 soldiers, how many people in the city could raise these soldiers, why as long as the Qing soldiers entered the city, they saw that they were barren and dilapidated, and there were no people, could it be that the Ming army was fighting with the Qing soldiers in the city?

Li Guoying's staff Liu Da was a member of Baoning accepted by Li Guoying in Sichuan, and was ordered by Li Guoying to go to the northwest to buy horses, but when he returned to Dao Baoning in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, he wrote, "When I returned to Sanba, I saw corpses all over the field, and thorns blocked the way." The pavilions of the past, the foxes and rabbits of the present; The well-dressed cultural relics of the past, the rubble of the present, the birds and rats; In the past, the mulberry hemp and millet were also barren and smokey. The mountains and rivers are like the old scenes, the old party is old, there are one or two, and the handshake is suspicious, like regeneration. This is the comparison of Li Guoying's staff in the three years before and after seeing the scene in Baoning, which is the best evidence of the Qing soldiers in Sichuan at that time. Boryeong had never heard of barrenness before the Qing soldiers, but the Qing soldiers were in Boryeong for 12 years, and the whole Boryeong survived.

Li Guoying's massacre of the Han made it more and more difficult to resist the Qing Dynasty, but his own officials became bigger and bigger. In the 11th year of Shunzhi, the Qing court appointed Li Guoying as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, in charge of important military and political affairs in the two places. Because the Qing court attacked Yunnan and Guizhou in three ways last year, the Thirteen Kuidong families did not succeed in capturing Chongqing in order to reduce the pressure on the Ming court in the southwest. At the beginning of this year, he attacked Chongqing for the second time, but was repelled by Li Guoying's troops.

Li Guoying saw that the Ming army of Kui Dongming entered the city and attached importance to Chongqing, and Chongqing was an important place to hold the north and south, so he personally sat in the town. If there is a rebellion in the southern county, if the connection between Sichuan and the north is really cut off, then Li Guoying's efforts in Sichuan in the past few years will be in vain, and Chongqing will become an isolated city, so Li Guoying is in a hurry to let Cheng Tingjun go to find out the situation.

Cheng Tingjun and Liang Jiaqi came to the palace and saluted Li Guoying: "Your Excellency, there is a rebellion in the south, and Baoning should put down the rebellion as soon as possible, how can there be no news now." Instead, we went to find out the news. ”

Li Guoying saw the two of them coming in, so he sat down before saying: "Now the specific situation is not clear, I also read the Tang newspaper of Shunqing Mansion just now, and there is no specific information on the southern rebellion." It was only the messenger who sent the Tang newspaper to the governor's yamen that he had encountered the interrogation of the thieves in the south. He didn't dare to say much about it, and he came directly to the south while the thieves were not paying attention, and he was afraid that he would go back directly to the prefect's yamen to blame, so he had to send the Tang Bao here first. ”

Liang Jiaqi said: "This messenger is also a fool, you can't ask a few more words, it's not clear." Li Guoying said: "Forget it, he is just an ordinary messenger, he knows what kind of interrogation, it is estimated that when the thieves interrogated him, he himself was scared to death." ”

Cheng Tingjun said: "I don't know if there is any news from the governor's side?" Li Guoying frowned and said, "I'm just strange, I should have come the day before yesterday." But Gao Minzhan just didn't have any news. Liang Jiaqi said: "The governor said that he was going to attack Chengdu, did he go to Chengdu, and I don't know about Baoning." Li Guoying said: "It's also possible, let's wait for the news of the investigation first." By the way, is there any news from Kuidong? ”

Liang Jiaqi said: "Kui Dong failed to attack Chongqing twice, and there was also a rebellion in Ertan, and now their vitality is greatly damaged, what energy is there to fight Chongqing." They all stay in Kuidong honestly! Besides, it has entered July, and the rice in the field will be harvested soon, and they will have to wait until the rice is harvested to find Kuidong, which will take half a month at the earliest. ”

Li Guoying said: "Don't be careless, fiction is real, reality is fiction." The art of war. It's always good to be careful. Cheng Tingjun said at this time: "If you want to say that there is no movement, it's just that our spies came to report that He Zhen, who was stationed in Dachang before, is gone, but his army has not moved in Dachang." Li Guoying first heard that He Zhen was gone, and his heart was tight, but when he heard that his army was not moving, he was relieved and said: "As long as the army is not moving, it is fine, but we still have to continue to investigate, and it is best to know where He Zhen went." Cheng Tingjun said: "Oh, I'll let the spies below go to investigate more." ”

Gao Minzhan asked people to go to the southern county to investigate, but he was never at ease, and then he wrote a letter of resignation and sent him to the military camp in Mianzhou to inquire about the whereabouts of the governor Gao Minzhan.

Not to mention that Li Guoying did everything possible to find out the news in the south and even Baoning in Chongqing, but the messenger from Shunqing Mansion ran away after being questioned in the south that day, and Huang Boyuan, the magistrate of the county, knew that the matter could not be hidden, so he immediately sent someone to send the situation to Zhu Dashan in Baoning.

Zhu Dashan received the news three days earlier than Li Guoying, but Zhu Dashan looked at the door and wanted to leave Ma Yuanjie and Luo Daniu, who had just been gone for a day, if only they could leave a day late. Now there are only 1,000 soldiers in Boryeong, what should I do in the south?

Zhu Dashan was thinking about how to deploy, Zhou Dazhu walked in, and when he saw Zhu Dashan, he was very anxious and said, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" Now that the army that captured Yilong has also set off, I believe that Ma Yuanjie and Luo Daniu will be able to defeat Yilong. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "What I'm worried about is not whether he can defeat Yilong, but how to deploy the Qing army stationed in Mianzhou." Zhou Dazhu was shocked: "Settle the Qing army in Mianzhou? Hou Ye wants to use troops against the Qing troops in Mianzhou again? Zhu Dashan shook his head and said, "It's not that we use troops against them, but that they use troops against us!" ”

At this time, Liu Yingnan walked in, Liu Yingnan has been staying in Baoning since he returned to the Ming Dynasty, and it happened that no one in the Fuming camp could train soldiers, so Zhu Dashan asked Liu Yingnan and Zhou Dazhu to train together. Liu Yingnan happily agreed. Originally, when he went to Zitong, Zhu Dashan wanted Liu Yingnan to lead the troops, but he said that he should stay in Baoning to train the troops, and he was full of recruits at that time, so Zhu Dashan agreed. I came today because the recruits are almost trained, and the other Zhou Dazhu will. He is running Zhu Dashan here and is lazy.

As soon as he came in, he saw Zhu Dashan with a bitter face and said, "What, the money was stolen?" Zhu Dashan said: "Don't laugh, it's harder to deal with than stealing money." Liu Yingnan said: "Let's hear it." ”

It was Zhu Dashan who told him about the current situation. Zhou Dazhu also said on the side: "Now there are only a thousand soldiers who can fight, what do you say we can do?" Liu Yingnan said: "How do I know what to do?" Why don't you strike first, defeat the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou first, and then go back to fight Li Guoying? Zhou Dazhu said: "Nonsense, if you can defeat the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou, do you want to say it?" I took someone to fight earlier. Liu Yingnan said: "Then I can't help it, I can't defeat Li Guoying first, and then turn around to fight the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou!" ”

Hearing Liu Yingnan say this, Zhu Dashan said: "What Liu Yingnan said is reasonable" Zhou Dazhu exclaimed: "Master Hou, you don't have a fever." Do you take that seriously? ”

Zhu Dashan said: "It's not that I want to take it seriously, but we don't have a choice." If we wait until Li Guoying calls, we don't care if we stop it or not, we can't hide the fact that Gao Minzhan was killed, and then Li Guoying will accept the Qing soldiers in Mianzhou, and at that time, the two Qing soldiers will be combined into one place, and we will die without a place to be buried. ”

Zhou Dazhu thought about it for a while, and said: "If we have to fight, how should we fight?" Zhu Dashan looked at Zhou Dazhu and Liu Yingnan and said, "I don't know now." ”

When the two of them heard this, they really wanted to go up and smoke his two ear scrapers, but I didn't know that you were pretending to be a sure winner.
