Wu Sangui thought carefully about the pros and cons and felt that he had to give up Wuchang. Abandoning Wuchang is the wisest choice, if you stick to Wuchang Mansion, you may be surrounded on all sides.

Wuchang Mansion is located on the Yangtze River, and it is also considered to be the central location in the land of China. If it were him, Wu Sangui would put all his experience on Wuchang. Once the Pingbei army in Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangsu and other places surround him, then he will always run out of ammunition and food one day.

Yu Qi is defending Wuchang, it is better to leave first. Now the situation in the world doesn't need to be said by others, Wu Sangui can also see it clearly. Who Li Dingguo is, Wu Sangui knows very well in his heart. He knew the news of Li Dingguo's return to Liu Xia a long time ago. In this way, he will soon face the siege of Liu Xia's four legions.

It is only a matter of time before the world is unified by Liu Xia, but he, Wu Sangui, does not want to surrender, because even if he surrenders to Liu Xia, then the final outcome will be certain death.

So Wu Sangui began to forcibly recruit troops on a large scale in Wuchang City, and soon an army of 200,000 people came out. Since it was forcibly conscripted, the combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined. After the conscription, Wu Sangui quickly asked people to protect the precious things in the Wuchang Palace, as well as his concubines and the families of the civil and military ministers, and prepared to move south.

At the same time, he also shouted out the title of having 200,000 soldiers and horses, which was to tell Ma Peng not far away, and asked Ma Peng not to mess with him.

Liu Xia of Luoyang soon got the news from Ma Peng, and at the same time, the Northwest Capital Division also began to be in a hurry. The Nazungar Khanate, together with other Tatar tribes, took the lead in attacking the Northwest Expedition, and the ethnic minorities in Qinghai and other places in the northern part of Shaanxi and the southwest of Shaanxi also began to rebel, and the 40,000 people in the Northwest Expedition were now not enough.

Then returned from the northeast Lushun news, Dolgon's 50,000 reinforcements attacked Jinzhou, his White Tiger Army held on for several days, has suffered many casualties, due to the disparity in troops, if there is no reinforcements, I am afraid that Jinzhou will be lost. Although Liu Xia had already photographed a brigade of soldiers and horses before, it was not enough at all.

Li Gu in Yunnan also came with the news that some of their troops had been attacked by the Burmese military, so they started a fight with Burma. It was also for Liu Xia to send troops over to help.

It seems that the good form is gone all of a sudden.

Only the flamboyant Fire Phoenix Legion has not yet heard from the fire phoenix army at this moment.

Liu Xia immediately gave an order to the Military Division, so that the Military Division and the Logistics Department could coordinate and replenish the troops of each corps. The eight corps of the Kuiwolf Legion, the Beast Legion, the Vermilion Bird Legion, the White Tiger Legion, the Blue Dragon Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, the Iron Lion Legion, and the Griffin Legion were all replenished to 50,000 people. That is, the number of people in each regiment has more than doubled. However, fortunately, the reserve recruits and local garrison corps stored in Liu Xia's new barracks were sufficient, so they would not directly pull recruits to the battlefield.

The able-bodied men selected from the local garrison corps in each province will soon be replenished. Of course, it still takes some time for these soldiers to reach their respective armies.

Beijing

After a period of pursuit, the 5,000 men sent by Li Wen caught up with some of the officials who had fled with Dorgon. Due to the large number of people, they did not flee at the same speed, and the farthest distance between them was hundreds of miles.

In the end, I learned that among the dozens of officials who were arrested, there were many Han officials. One of the biggest officials was the famous traitor Hong Chengchou, who began as a Ming Dynasty official, but surrendered to the Tartars after the defeat of Songshan, and began his life as a traitor. Historically, he helped Dolgon pacify the world and became the founding minister of the Tartars.

But the funny thing is that during the Qianlong period, he was recognized by Qianlong as a second minister. The reason is that Qianlong thought that he rebelled against the Ming and Qing people, so he was included in the "History of the Qing Dynasty: The Biography of Erchen".

Li Wen, Wang Shishi and Zhang Liang all knew Hong Chengchou, and the reason why they knew each other was that Hong Chengchou's reputation was really not small. Among the traitors written by Liu Xia, he is definitely the top five characters. Now it ranks second only to Fan Wencheng in the Qing court.

Catching such a big person, Li Wenwang and Shi Zhang Liang couldn't hide their joy.

"Should we kill him now and send his head to Luoyang, or should we escort him directly to Luoyang?"

Wang Shishi still thought that it would be better to cut it off directly, and kill Lisuo, which was refreshing.

But Li Wen has other considerations, this Hong Chengchou is the person Liu Xia has confessed, and he can't deal with it at will. If Hong Chengchou died in the war, it would be okay, it didn't matter how he split his body. But now Hong Chengchou is fine, so he can't make his own decisions. Otherwise, it is easy to be seen as despising Liu Xia's authority.

Li Wendao: "General, let's escort him to Luoyang." After all, this person has been explained by the prince before, maybe the prince has his own considerations, and we can't make decisions on our own. ”

Zhang Liang also said: "The military advisor is reasonable. This person is not an ordinary traitor lackey, so it is better to hand it over to the prince. ”

Although Wang Shishi thought about slashing himself with a knife, but when he heard the words of the two, he had to swallow that thought back into his stomach and said, "Since this is the case, then send him to Luoyang." I won't cut him down. ”

Soon the soldiers handcuffed Hong Chengchou, who was wearing a tattered official uniform and a hat on his head and threw it somewhere, and put him in a torture car, accompanied by fifteen other traitor officials. Under the protection of a battalion of soldiers, their group marched towards Luoyang. The reason for using the strength of a battalion is, of course, to take into account the safety of these people along the way. They must not be allowed to have an accident before they arrive in Luoyang.

Hong Chengchou is now an old man, sixty-one years old, and his forehead is already covered with layers of wrinkles. The hair has long since turned gray. The cloudy eyes are full of endless remorse. He regretted it a little when he got to this point, he always wanted to be able to live the second half of his life in peace, but he knew that he was destined to live peacefully until the day of old age.

"General, the news from the Luoyang Military Division, the Military Division, asked us to replenish the strength to 50,000 people, and the specific plan is here." Saying that, Zhang Liang handed over a thick document to Wang Shishi, which was actually shown to Li Wen. For the king did not know how to read.

On the document, the Military Department has already arranged for them, and the positions of each soldier are well arranged. They are not allowed to have one more, nor one less.

Wang Shishi nodded and said, "You can go and prepare, and I'll go and practice martial arts." "For this kind of thing, Wang Shishi generally doesn't care. Previously, when he was the commander of the Suzaku Legion, he was the deputy manager. Now he has become the commander of the Northwest Expedition Division, and he has also handed over these things to his deputy Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang immediately walked out and began his work.

Not to mention, the navy now basically has nothing to do except escort the materials and personnel leading to Liaodong. So they began to develop North Korea again. At the same time, a small number of naval forces were sent into Japanese waters and landed on some islands around Japan to explore.

The construction of the North Korean base has been completed at this moment, and more than 5,000 troops have been sent over. And 5,000 people were conscripted locally. Now Yu Mingjun is responsible for the war in Liaodong, so it has become Bai Menghu who manages the affairs of North Korea.

Bai Menghu collected some ships and had 500 sailors and 2,000 gathered Korean soldiers to land on the Japanese island of Kyushu.

Kyushu Island is a large island in Japan, and there are quite a few people on it. However, it is still desolate compared to the island of Honshu.

When 2,500 people landed on Kyushu Island, the Japanese samurai on Kyushu Island besieged them one after another, and the number of samurai was more than 300 people. It doesn't matter if it's friend or foe.

In charge of this landing was the commander of a naval corps, Yang Wuxiao, who, in a fit of rage, ordered his soldiers to start a counterattack. Those North Korean soldiers suffered heavy casualties due to their lack of training. Soon the morale was lost, and more than 2,000 people were chased and killed by more than 300 people. This made the battalion commander really unbearable, so he ordered the navy to rush up and kill him.
