The first to deliver the letter were scouts sent by the commander of the first battalion and the first company who stayed in Nanning to supervise the release of grain.

Since Lin Xiao led the main force out, they only buried their heads in the grain, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China were not something they could ask about.

After Li Yuanyin's 2,000 cavalry was built, more than 1,000 people were sent to Baise to garrison according to Lin Xiao's suggestion, and Zhang Tongchang was ordered to recruit troops, and more than 30,000 people were recruited to step up training, but they were still using old-fashioned weapons for the time being.

Yongli adopted Qu Shiyun's suggestion and secretly sent someone to contact Li Dingguo in Yunnan, on the one hand, asking him if he could send troops to Nanning to escort him, so as to counterbalance the threat of either Sun Kewang and Lin Xiao; On the other hand, discussing joint mining matters can be regarded as an explanation to Lin Xiao, in fact, it is still for his army to use new firearms as soon as possible.

On this day, I suddenly received a report from the front line that the heavy troops of the Qing army, under the command of the surrendered general Wu Sangui, suddenly covered up from southern Sichuan, and soon defeated the Liu Wenxiu Department of the Great Western Army, and the troops pointed directly at Guizhou.

Yongli monarchs and ministers were in a panic, and were about to send people to probe again, when they suddenly heard that Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and tens of thousands of troops not only did not go north to resist the enemy, but instead led troops eastward, and its vanguard was already approaching Baise.

……

Yongjiang River, around the city of Nanning, its downstream is the Yujiang River that goes all the way to the east, its upstream is in the northwest direction of Nanning, there are two tributaries, one is the Zuojiang River, zigzag to the southwest, on the way to flow through the border town of Chongzuo in the border of China and Vietnam.

The other is the right river, which can be traced all the way up in the vast mountains, and you can go directly to the throat of the Guizhou-Guizhou border four hundred miles away - Baise.

On the way, two hundred miles away from the northwest of Nanning, there is a place called Guohua Town, the terrain is narrow and dangerous, it is the second most important throat place in the northwest direction of Nanning in addition to Baise.

Qin Wang Sun Kewang immediately stood on a mound and watched the army below move slowly, this was only his forward force, and the main force of the brigade was still dozens of miles away.

……

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi are all the righteous sons of Zhang Xianzhong, the old Qin king, and they all have their own elite pro-army troops in their hands, which were called the Four Great King Kongs at the time.

After Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, the four of them brought the rest of the troops into the area of Yunnan and Guizhou to make plans again, although the four of them were commensurate with brothers, but Sun Kewang was the oldest, and held 50,000 people with the greatest power, occupying the entire Guizhou, Ai Nengqi died early, Liu Wenxiu led more than 10,000 people in the headquarters of more than 10,000 people to move around in northern Guizhou and southern Sichuan, and Li Dingguo led more than 30,000 people to retreat to Yunnan, recruiting troops for war, and the whole army was respected by Sun Kewang on the surface.

Since Sun Kewang was named Zhang Xianzhong's old title of King Qin, he regarded himself as the emperor, and even stipulated that the word "Qin" should be added before the title of all government offices, not only repeatedly suppressed Li Dingguo and others, but also did his best to insult Emperor Yongli, and Emperor Yongli was really unbearable, so he adopted Qu Shiyun's strategy and sent someone to hold Li Dingguo, who had a contradiction with Sun Kewang, and hoped that he would come to protect the overall situation of stability.

At the beginning, the Great Western Army pursued a joint anti-Qing strategy, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo had different thoughts.

Li Dingguo believes that at present, the Qing army is attacking on a large scale, breaking into the king's blood and splashing Jiugong Mountain, and the old man is killed by an arrow, and we have a common enmity with the Qing army, and the great enemy is at present, if we fight with the Ming army, it will only make the Qing army profit, and the top priority is to join the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, otherwise there is only a dead end.

However, Sun Kewang has lost confidence in the Lianming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the Central Plains, and only wants to keep the land and claim to be in Yunnan and Guizhou, so he is quite dismissive of Li Dingguo's proposal, but Li Dingguo's proposal has been approved by most of the generals, Sun Kewang saw that the people's hearts were turned to Li Dingguo, and had to agree to his march into Yunnan and the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing, but he was suspicious of Li Dingguo.

At the suggestion of his staff, Sun Kewang not only passively resisted the Qing Dynasty, but also wanted to imitate Cao Cao's method of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" in an attempt to subdue Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, which was fundamentally different from Li Dingguo's goal of restoring the Central Plains.

A few years ago, Zheng Guo and others were driven back to Guizhou by the imperial court, and Sun Kewang was greatly annoyed, so Zheng Guo added fuel and vinegar that the imperial court had recruited a new team with a small number of people but advanced firearms, and wanted to rob the copper and iron mines in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, so as to build more firearms to further expand the army.

Sun Kewang was furious when he heard this, and under the instigation of Zheng Guo and others, he wanted to immediately send troops to Nanning to kidnap Yongli and strangle Lin Xiao's mysterious team in a weak period.

Later, he learned that Li Dingguo had privately accepted a secret edict and might bypass him and send troops to Guangxi, so he immediately sent someone to summon Li Dingguo to Guiyang to discuss matters, preparing to take the opportunity to kill him and take his troops for himself.

After receiving the order, Li Dingguo was in a dilemma, and suddenly received a secret report from his subordinates who stayed in Guizhou, and Liu Wenxiu's son also secretly sent people to dissuade him, so Li Dingguo decided to ignore it and continue to plan to join forces with the imperial court.

At this time, the Qing army Wu Sangui suddenly launched a fierce offensive, Liu Wenxiu's southern Sichuan department could not resist, and soon collapsed to the Zunyi area, Sun Kewang panicked, and was about to lead the troops north, but there was an old man who suddenly visited.

The name of the person who came was Gao Lehou, a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and he had a personal relationship with Kewang before, in fact, this person was the mysterious Mr. Ding next to Hong Chengchou, and this trip was specially ordered to descend to Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang learned from him that the Qing army had hundreds of thousands, and with a sudden attack with heavy troops, it was unstoppable, and blindly sending troops was to kill himself, Gao Lehou took out Hong Chengchou's secret letter, in which he promised that as long as he promised to surrender and erect an anti-Ming banner, the Qing army would stop in Zunyi and allow him to keep the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou.

If he can fight back and take the initiative to send troops to Guangxi to capture Yongli alive, it will be a great achievement, and he will be awarded the title of "Righteous King" to the Qing court.

Since the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is so weak and does not take him seriously, he actually put aside his private desire to respect Li Dingguo, so why can't he turn his face, this is not his grandson can be expected to be ruthless and unrighteous, right?

At the instigation of Gao Lehou, Sun Kewang was ruthless, ordered the main force to quickly go east, rely on artillery to bombard the city, and defeated Li Yuanyin's garrison in only a few days and captured Baise.

……

He was thinking about it, when he saw Zheng Guo coming on horse, he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, fifteen miles ahead is Guohua, and it is found that Li Yuanyin's troops of the Ming army are in formation two miles outside the city, with about more than 3,000 people. ”

Sun Kewang smiled when he heard this, and said contemptuously: "This Li Yuanyin still knows a little bit about using soldiers, unlike other Ming armies, he only knows how to defend the city." ”

Zheng Guo also smiled when he heard this: "Since there is a red-coated cannon, the Ming army's previous tactics of defending the city have failed, don't they know that once the city wall is destroyed, it will become a turtle in an urn?" It's better to line up and fight me outside the city. ”

"Field? With the Dian horses under their crotches, can they block the impact of my elite cavalry? ”

Sun Kewang smiled when he heard this, "Give you two hours, can you defeat them?" ”

Zheng Guo was stunned when he heard this, and then clasped his fists and shouted: "I wish to lead the sons and daughters to take down the fruit and present it to the prince!" ”

Sun Kewang pointed straight ahead with the horsewhip: "Go, pay attention to the casualties, and save your strength to fight Nanning." ”

"Yes!" Zheng Guo responded and urged the horse to leave.

Question: Please name the words of Mo Yuanwei of Qinzhou Qianhu?
