And Yang Weizhi, the guide who was cared for by Sun Kewang at the beginning, always respected the lord, and persuaded Kewang after hearing the news: "'Qin', 'Ji' and so on, how can it be true? Sun Kewang scoffed and ignored him.

Yang Weizhi cried and impeached himself in the previous dynasty, and there were many responsibilities in his words Sun Kewang, so he was left by Yongli as a scholar of Dongge University, and Wu Zhenyu jointly assisted the government, but he was angry when he heard it, and sent someone to summon Yang Weizhi to Guiyang, and scolded him face to face, ridiculing Yang Weizhi for being ungrateful, Yang Weizhi couldn't bear it, and took off the crown on his head to hit Kewang, so he was killed.

Jin Yiwei commander Ma Jixiang is a traitorous person, because the emperor fled south very diligently, and offered four thousand taels of silver to support the poor emperor labor army to raise the people, won the Yongli Emperor and the queen mother's favor, thought that this is a loyal and diligent person, gave him Yong'an Hou, and as a mere Jinyi Wei commander into the cabinet, in charge of the silk room, can be voted, even if there is a meritorious bachelor Qu Shiyun can not compare.

Ma Jixiang, who was once powerful, secretly befriended the eunuch Pang Tianshou, and the two colluded to control the government, tilt the power towards the government and the opposition, and secretly took refuge in Sun Kewang.

At that time, Sun Kewang sent his troops to Cao Yansheng and Hu Zhengguo, and Pang Tianshou forcibly ordered Cao Yansheng, Hu Zhengguo and Ma Jixiang to worship as brothers, and after worshipping, Ma Jixiang said to Cao Yansheng: "King Qin's merits and merits, the mandate of heaven has returned, I want to make the Lord go up to teach Zen, can you do it for me?" Although Cao Yansheng and Hu Zhengguo are military generals, they are loyal and righteous, and they were stunned when they heard this: "How can you say this about this national event?" Besides, we are only officers, we only understand military affairs, and we dare not obey other orders. ”

And Cao Yansheng and Hu Zhengguo have always had a good relationship with Wu Zhenyu, a scholar, and told him everything Ma Jixiang said, and said: "You are an important minister in the court, and your safety is at stake, so it is advisable to persuade the emperor to be stationed in Guangxi, which is the support of the people, and calls for far and near to stop treacherous plots." ”

After Ma Jixiang learned about it, he secretly reported it to Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang secretly hated Wu Zhenyu after knowing it, so he refused to send troops to King Qinwang of Guangxi.

This time, the Qing army had to report that the Qing army was attacked on two roads, and the Manchu Dynasty was panicked, so Yongli had to promise to give Sun Kewang as the king of Qin, and at the same time give Li Dingguo, who was training in Kunming, as the king of Xining, and Liu Wenxiu as the king of Funan.

Sun Kewang sent Zheng Guo to lead his troops to Nanning, but he did not mention the defense of Xingdu, but blindly took the opportunity to coerce Anlong, the capital to move.

Zheng Guo just arrived in Nanning, Jiao Lian and Li Yuanyin's good news came one after another, it was simply a joy from the sky, the beginning of the Manchu Dynasty could not believe it, after a few days of listening, Yongli monarchs and ministers were relieved of their doubts, and suddenly there was jubilation, so the ministers of the court and the central government have gone to the table to prevent the relocation of the capital, repacked the escape clothes that have been made, and prepared to reorganize the rivers and mountains.

In the matter, Xu Ji, Lin Qingyang, Cai Sui, Hu Shirui, Zhang Yi and others took the opportunity to jointly impeach Pang Tianshou and Ma Jixiang for forming a feudal town, gaining authority inside, flattering and palace bans, and deceiving the court.

Yongli regretted the addition of Sun Kewang and others as kings, and was already dissatisfied with Ma Jixiang, who was trying his best to instigate him, and after knowing the truth, he could no longer tolerate the two of them taking power, and was ready to pursue it.

On the one hand, Pang and Ma begged the Queen Mother to intercede, and on the other hand, they bribed Zheng Guo to convict him of "stealing treasures and pretending to be edicts, bullying the crowd and harming the good", and sent troops to quickly arrest 18 people and put them in prison, wanting to behead Wu Zhenyu and the following 18 courtiers.

When Qu Shiyun and Zhang Tongchang arrived in Nanning, the court was in this kind of turmoil, and there was no king and no minister......

Although the sudden return of Qu Shiyun greatly excited Emperor Yongli, the emperor who had no soldiers in his hands was powerless to save the situation, so he had to ask Qu Shiyun to come and rescue Lin Xiao's righteous army to come to the rescue.

……

After Lin Xiao and He Shouxin finished talking, after thinking for a while, they immediately summoned Li Yuanyin and the brothers to discuss the matter.

In view of the fact that the main force of Kong Youde's Qing army had been eliminated and the pressure of the war in the north was not great, it was decided that Zhu Yujia, Duan Zhenghong, Zhang Chenfeng and others would lead the headquarters to continue to the north and recover Liuzhou, Guilin and surrounding prefectures and counties; Ding Shuai's first battalion returned to Nanning with Lin Xiao.

Due to the capture of a large number of war horses, Lin Xiao reorganized all the officers and men of the army into mobile cavalry, and some of those who could not ride horses were temporarily incorporated into the baggage companies of each battalion to walk with the carts, learning riding skills while marching.

Li Yuanyin's forbidden army was divided into two, the main force of the original infantry army was all equipped with war horses, and the cavalry was replaced by Zhu Yujia to assist and serve as a garrison force in various places, and Li Yuanyin brought a thousand cavalry back to Nanning to guard the imperial court.

Li Yuanyin was reluctant to return to Nanning, after the battle of Yulin, he was already very disappointed in the court, and would rather follow Lin Xiao's righteous army to fight around than be the emperor's bodyguard.

"General Lin, I really don't want to be with those people all day long." Li Yuanyin's eyes were gloomy and he said in wonder.

"Uncle Yuan, in the next Jiebu Yi, I really don't dare to be called a general, in the future, you and I don't have to be polite to each other, can you call him by his name?"

"This is very good, Yin Zheng has this intention, and in the future, he will call the general Brother Shuangmu."

"Uncle Yuan, now that the imperial court is in danger, Ma Jixiang is stealing authority and domineering the inner court, all because there are no male soldiers outside the court, and there is no deterrence inside."

Lin Xiao said slowly, "Today, we are still guest soldiers, and it is difficult to convince the public, only Brother Yuan can help Inspector Qu deter and prevent him from fighting abroad." ”

"Uncle Yuan's trip is shouldering the social responsibility, and the responsibility is heavy." Lin Xiao said sincerely, Jinyi Wei was originally Li Yuanyin's old department, and even the commander Ma Jixiang had to be controlled by him, the governor of the same knowledge, and only when he went back could he suppress this arrogant spy team.

"Brother Shuangmu...... That's it! Even so, Yin will live up to his mission! Li Yuanyin said.

……

At the moment of dividing the troops, Lin Xiao led the regimental headquarters and a battalion to hold the prisoners and most of the booty and stayed in Gantang overnight, while the Northern Expedition team rushed to the Litang camp with enough military food and ammunition to camp, and started the Northern Expedition early the next morning.

Lu Hua was a little hesitant, she was reluctant to go to Nanning, and after thinking about it again and again, she asked to act with the medical rescue team, Lin Xiao solemnly entrusted the medical team to Zhu Yujia, and repeatedly told her to ensure safety.

Feng Suqin has another task, she wants to go home by the way to take the Yao soldiers out of the cottage to participate in the battle to recover Guilin, originally Lin Xiao planned to go north on the way to Mulong Yao Village to visit the old village owner Feng Wenxuan again, and take the opportunity to recruit some Yao soldiers to participate in the rebel army, now I have to entrust Zhang Chenfeng to do it for me, for the sake of safety, Lin Xiao asked Feng Suqin to take Ah Huang with him.

That night, Lin Xiao talked to Li Hanzhi and instructed him to send people to the front line to transport ammunition as soon as possible, and bring the remains of the martyrs, the wounded, and the collected bullet casings back to the defense town by the way, and also to bring back a large number of artillery, bird guns, worn-out knives and guns and other iron tools captured by the Qing army, waiting to be returned to the furnace for steel and copper.

"The things you shipped to Nanning last time can be shipped, I'll wait for you in Nanning."

"Roger, Captain, I'll do it right away."

Early the next morning, the army marched, hurried to Nanning, on the way received Xia Bomin and Liu Xulei's good news, learned that their attack was successful, Yulin and Wuzhou have been successive, seized a lot of money, food and materials, Lin Xiao was very happy, instructed them to carry out the work of raising the people and recruiting troops as planned, reorganize the army, and prepare for the attack on Guangdong in the spring of next year.
