Chapter 376: Southwest Traveling Capital Division

In mid-1654, the beast legions in Yunnan also freed up their hands and began to attack Guangxi. Although Wu Sangui has also deployed a lot of soldiers in Guangxi in the past two years, most of them have never participated in battles, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Under the continuous attack of the beast army, various cities in Guangxi fell one after another. Soon Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses in Guangxi shrank to Guilin, and there was a stalemate with the Pingbei army in Guilin. On the other side, the Kuiwolf Legion and Li Dingguo's Storm Legion occupied Jiangxi with lightning speed. I started to think about Fujian to attack.

As for the griffin army, it had begun to advance from Zhejiang to Fujian, and some remote cities in Fujian surrendered one after another, and when the Pingbei army entered the city, the people in the city welcomed them one after another. Over the years, he has had enough of Wu Sangui's brutal rule, and I don't know how many people's relatives have been forcibly captured as soldiers, or killed on the way to escape. Or they were expropriated and used to become prostitutes.

Wu Sangui is a big devil-like figure in the hearts of the people in these four provinces, and many people hate him, hoping that the Pingbei Army will come over quickly to sweep Wu Sangui and rescue them. As a result, many of the city's Pingbei army had not yet come, and the people in the city and even the guards in the city rebelled, slaughtered the cronies and officials sent by Wu Sangui, and opened the city gate to surrender.

Wu Sangui felt the crisis, and it was only a matter of time before Fujian was completely occupied by the Pingbei Army. Although Wu Sangui now has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, in fact, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses who can fight. Most of the rest are distributed in various cities to stabilize his power, and it is a question whether they can be summoned at the first time. What's more, most of these 300,000 people were forcibly recruited, and if they commented on the coming of the Pingbei Army, it was also a question whether they would defect on the spot. Therefore, Wu Sangui began to disbelieve the newly recruited soldiers.

While gathering his former cronies, he sent those newly recruited soldiers out as cannon fodder to reduce the strength of the Pingbei Army, and on the other hand, he began to prepare an escape route. He definitely can't go to the sea, and he doesn't have the strength to transport all of his people away at once, after all, he is not Zheng Zhilong, and his navy does not have a few ships.

So he can only rely on the land route, and where he can escape by land has become a problem that Wu Sangui is always concerned about these days. But the time given to him is clearly not that much. However, in two months, the Griffin Legion, the Kuiwolf Legion, and the Storm Legion were about to encircle Fuzhou, and if Wu Sangui did not leave at this time, his end would be to be captured alive.

So that night, Wu Sangui sent out 50,000 recruits to harass the three legions, and he took 100,000 soldiers and horses, ministers and families to Guangdong. Finally, I entered Nanning. The army of 50,000 did not stop them for long, and by the time the sun rose, the army of 50,000 had already been wiped out, fleeing, scattered, slain, and many taken prisoner. Those who voluntarily surrendered accounted for more than 10,000 people.

Soon the Pingbei army tried the captured and surrendered Chu troops, but within a few days, these soldiers who had been forcibly conscripted into the army and had not committed a crime were acquitted and returned to the field. Return home. If they are willing to stay in the army, they can go to the nearest Fengyang Recruit Camp or Xinyang Prefecture Recruit Camp with a letter of introduction to register.

The news of Wu Sangui's escape to Nanning soon spread to Luoyang, and Liu Xia immediately instructed the three major armies to continue to advance southward, striving to completely eliminate Wu Sangui and pacify the south. In addition, the Wuchang new barracks were established in Wuchang, the Fuzhou new barracks in Fujian, and the Guiyang new barracks in Guizhou. Yunnan established the Kunming New Barracks.

When the southern war was in full swing, the north was not idle, the Fire Phoenix Legion and the White Tiger Legion advanced to the northeast, constantly compressing the range of the Tartars, and the territory of Nuer Gandusi was constantly recovered by the Pingbei Army. After the Manchus fled from the Guannai to Nuer Gandusi, they constantly met with the Russians from the west, and the two fought from time to time. The losses of the Tartars are not small, then Russia also has great losses. I don't know how Dolgon managed to do it, but soon the two races, which were originally feuding, were united.

When Dolgon came out of Beijing, he took with him a lot of precious goods, especially gold and silver. So the Tartars paid the Russians a lot of money, and the Russians fought for them. Soon hundreds of Russian mercenaries were formed.

And the next day attacked a battalion-level camp of the Pingbei Army. As a result, half of the soldiers of a battalion were killed in battle. Zhang Yuan immediately got the news, so he ordered a large-scale sweep. The muskets used by the Russians were not as advanced as those used by the Pingbei army, so Zhang Yuan was confident that he would wipe out the barbarians who did not know where they came from.

Three days later, a squad of the Pingbei Army encountered more than 50 Russian mercenaries, so the two had a fierce battle, and finally the Pingbei Army relied on advanced weapons to defeat, and the more than 50 Russian mercenaries were completely annihilated.

At this point, the Russians began to realize that the Pingbei Army was not simple, and many people were thinking about whether it was worth it to help the Tartars. At the same time, when the two armies continued to advance into the depths of Nuergandusi, they also touched the interests of the Russians, and a large number of castles built by the Russians were occupied or blown up.

And there were not too many Russians who came to the Far East, and they began to send people back to the West to ask the tsar for help. When Dolgon heard the news, he immediately sent people to follow him, and with a large number of gifts, he wanted to make friends with the Tsar and deal with the Pingbei army. And Dorgon even married the princess of the royal family to a Russian thief leader from the Far East.

The Russian leader of thieves was overjoyed, he had never thought of such a beautiful princess, so he played with it all night and was still in high spirits. But when the first rays of sunlight came in and woke him up, he found that the princess of Tartar had been tortured to death.

The princess is the emperor's daughter, although this princess is not a descendant, but she is also a decent princess of Heshuo, she was tortured to death, and those Tartar nobles who were deeply influenced by the Han people were also disgraceful, and many people went to Dolgon to demand severe punishment of the murderer.

Not to be outdone, the Russian thief immediately gathered dozens of his brothers, drew his musket and said to Dorgon: "As long as you dare to touch me, I will dare to kill you people." Although his words are a bit arrogant, it is undeniable that it is still okay for him to kill some nobles. So, for the sake of the overall situation, Dorgon could only swallow his anger.

A few months later, the Russians' helpers and messengers sent by the Tartars were captured by a scout party of the Blue Dragon Legion in the Mobei steppe, and learned from them that they were going to ask for reinforcements. This made Wang Shishi and Zhang Liang realize that things were not simple, so they sent someone to tell Liu Xia in Luoyang quickly.

After Liu Xia learned about it, he sent people to Russia to check the local situation. Thinking about the ** Russia, a place that Napoleon couldn't take.

By the winter of 1654, the south was still a little warm, and Wu Sangui in Nanning could no longer support the joint attack of the four major armies. In the end, the city of Nanning was broken. However, Wu Sangui was still not caught.

Wu Sangui's army of 100,000 is now less than 50,000. They went straight into Vietnam. Vietnam was also originally Chinese territory, at least during the Han Dynasty as Cochin. Therefore, Ma Peng decided to start marching into Vietnam according to the principle that Liu Xia could not lose an inch of land, chasing and killing Wu Sangui. Due to Wu Sangui's retreat to Vietnam, Liu Xia sent a message from Luoyang to let the beast legion return to Sichuan and Yunnan, and divided it into two, the original 50,000 beast legion was divided into two 25,000 legions, one still used the title of the beast legion, the other used the title of the beast legion, and Li Dingguo's more than 20,000 people also returned to the southern part of Huguang, Guizhou.

Liu Xia established the Southwest Expeditionary Division, which was responsible for the defense of Yunnan and part of the occupied Burmese territory, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Wusizang. Now Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan have all been recovered, and as for Wusizang, that is, Tibet, has not yet been fully controlled.

So Liu Xia began to let the soldiers of the Southwest Traveling Capital Division train to adapt to the plateau climate
