After occupying Wugang Prefecture, Li Dingguo was surprised to meet Hao Yongzhong again, and when he saw the frustrated brave general, he welcomed him into surprise and asked why.

Although Hao Yongzhong is a martial artist, although he can't understand many things, he understands them in his heart.

Hao Yongzhong poured bitter water, when he retreated to Guilin last year, Qu Shiyun welcomed it on the surface but was actually on guard, Hao Yongzhong was unwilling to pretend that his little daughter-in-law was idle, and resolutely refused to defend Guilin with him, and strongly advocated that Feng Yongli continue to move westward.

And this coincided with the idea of the escaped Emperor Yongli, but it was blocked by Qu Shiyun, and later Emperor Yongli said: "Don't you just want me to be a son of heaven who died for the community!" Now I must stay, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will be protected by Aiqing, how about it? ”

Speaking of this, Qu Shiyun had no choice but to let Emperor Yongli escape, but because of this, Hao Yongzhong hated Hao Yongzhong to the core, thinking that Hao Yongzhong encouraged Emperor Yongli to escape.

This time, because of He Tengjiao's order to have an internal conflict with Chen Youlong, Wugang was easily captured by the Tartars.

At this time, in order to fight against the Tartars, Emperor Yongli decided to follow Chen Bangchuan's suggestion and reorganize the Ming army gathered in Liangguang, and decided to garrison Guilin with Qu Shiyun and Sun Kewang as the main commanders to fight against the main forces of the Eight Banners such as Jierharang, Kong Youde, and Shen Yongzhong, so as to make a situation of recovering the lake (south,

With the troops of Gu Yinxi, Gao Yigong, and Li Laiheng as the Eastern Expeditionary Corps, they fought against Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming together with Du Yonghe, the governor of Liangguang.

Some people believe that this is Sun Kewang's idea to Chen Bang, and since the success of blocking the volunteers from going south to Liangguang, Sun Kewang and Chen Bangchuan have become closer and closer, and some people claim that they have already formed a military alliance.

Seeing such a result, Qu Shiyun, who had the merit of support, hated the Liukou very much, and first took Hao Yongzhong out of anger, and openly called him "Hao Rebellious" in the recital, and instructed Guang (all parts of the west are not allowed to help Hao Yongzhong, in this case, Hao Yongzhong Fang led his troops to prepare to withdraw to Kuizhou to join the local rebel army.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Nan'anhou, of course those bureaucrats have a lot of opinions about us, the brothers who came out of the righteous army.

But our prince is not like this, but we brothers who came out of the righteous army have put their hearts in their hearts and become confidants.

On the surface, it seems that joining our volunteers suffers a loss, and a large number of soldiers and horses have been laid off, but in fact, this is not the case?

Just like after I cut more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to 2,000 men and horses, the brothers who were cut and merged were divided into land, and their livelihood was worry-free.

One by one who joined the Volunteer Army, they also led the army to pay their salaries, and the wealth of the Lu was not much better than that of the border army, and the ordinary soldiers were 1 tael and 5 silver coins a month, Brother Hao, forget it, join our Volunteer Army.

Hao Yongzhong shook his head and said: "Brother Li, if it weren't for the name of the imperial court, I Hao Shaoqi would have planned this a long time ago, but you know that I didn't have a big reputation in the Chuang Department in the past, plus I also have a bad reputation like Huo and Chen Youlong, I'm afraid that the King of Shu will not take me in." ”

Yang Wei smiled and said: "Brother Hao, our prince's ambition is to expel the Tatars and restore China, Brother Hao is fighting desperately, brothers know that as long as you are willing to defect, I believe that our prince will definitely welcome it."

You won't suffer if you enter the Volunteer Army, Liu Tichun and Liu Erhu, you know, right? You broke into the ministry, his girl Liu Lian'er is the third lady of our prince.

Your Dashun army is a personal soldier under the prince's account, how can you suffer a loss? ”

As soon as Hao Yongzhong heard it, he became interested, and asked repeatedly, laughing that he felt that this girl was beautiful and sensible back then, and he couldn't imagine that he would become a princess now, and he was very happy.

In early March of the fourth year of Yongli (A.D. 1650), after receiving the war report from Li Dingguo, Yang Xuan showed everyone that "everyone, Li Du's command envoy (the official worship of Guizhou) can fight habitually, and he is really a model for my generation of men."

There was no way to fight, Li Du commanded the envoy to set up an ambush, defeated the Tartar Zhenghong Banner cavalry in one fell swoop, and recovered Wugang, which really raised the prestige of our army.

Oh, Mr. Wu, Li Du commanded the envoy to become a famous king this time, and it is gratifying.

Ladies and gentlemen, didn't there be 6,000 brothers who defected together that day, and 3,000 brothers who retired from the army and stationed Lu Liangwei?

In this way, please make Li Du the commander of Lu Lianghou, and eat 300 households.

That is, the 300 households handed over the land and Ding Fu belonged to Lu Lianghou, and the Shang Fu and the other mines were returned to the government.

In addition, let them report to the meritorious personnel, and the reward will be doubled when the time comes.

Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen a huge difference between real and fake Tartars, and from now on, the rewards for Tartar cavalry will be doubled. ”

As early as the Hongguang Emperor (Zhu Youxiang) period, the imperial court set up four towns in Jiangbei, and the generals of the four towns could appoint officials on their own in the jurisdiction, forming a situation of separating feudal towns in the post-Tang Dynasty.

Since the establishment of the Volunteer Army, it has already been a system of its own, and the issue of knighthood last year was in an uproar, and Yang Xuan called himself the King of Shu under the support of everyone, and now he is listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.

Although he claimed to play the imperial court, he could reward himself without the help of the imperial court.

Of course, everyone understands the relationship between the volunteers and the imperial court, and now that they have heard that the king of Shu has spoken, they are envious one by one.

Since the Han Dynasty, although the imperial court has thousands of marquis, most of them only have titles, and do not serve in local positions, and they are not fictitious.

A few months ago, he just asked Li Dingguo to be the queen, and now he is hereditary Lu Liangzhi County, and he has actually sealed his land.

Looking at the trend now, it is probably preparing to change the meritorious generals from the past toast to the actual Hou Ye.

There are different opinions about Hao Yongzhong, some people think that he was originally a general of the Dashun army, and then defected to the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and now he is reluctant to accept it.

Yang Xuan suddenly thought of the reorganization of the 11th Town's Deputy General Wang Zhibang's Department of the Battle Dead Division, and after half a month, there was no result, so it was better to mix the remnants of the 11th Town, Hao Yongzhong's Department, and the 3rd Town.

After the mixing, Guo Chonglie, the deputy general of the 3rd town, Zhou Dingchang (Wang Xiangbu), and Yang Guangqian (Guizhou general).

Hao Yongzhong, deputy general of the 11th town, Lei Kaideng (general of the 3rd town), Luo Lianfang.

When the generals saw that Li Dingguo had become a famous king, everyone was envious, and they pleaded to fight again, go east to Yungui, and recover Huguang.

When he was hesitating, Ma Mingluan, the deputy general in charge of escorting grain and grass, came to report that although there was a post road from Guiyang to Yuanzhou, it was in disrepair, and the road was narrow and the road was rugged and difficult to walk.

In the past two months, hundreds of horses have been injured.

Yang Xuan was shocked, spread out the map to watch the Ming Dynasty post road, the highway of this era, although Guiyang passed through Yuanzhou, although there was a post road, but it was built by Mrs. Xiangxiang in the early Ming Dynasty, after hundreds of years of road changes, many roads have been very narrow, the road is rugged, although the army is unimpeded, but it is very difficult for the four-wheeled carriage.

In addition, from Yuanzhou to Wuchang and Changsha, it is necessary to take the waterway, and it takes time to build ships.

If you want to ensure that the logistics are unhindered, you have to levy labor, but Yang Xuan knows that although the wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, and there is a little harvest in the field, the weather has been cold and freezing in the past few years, and there are not many beams in the people's homes.

Even if he broke his promise to be conscripted into labor, he couldn't bear to see many families ruined and their wives separated.

But the land of Yunnan and Guizhou is barren, and the grain requisitioned is definitely not enough for the army to eat, let alone those laborers.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan categorically rejected the proposal to send troops from Guizhou to the east, stood in front of the map, and dissuaded everyone: "Everyone, you should also see that we are different from the Tartars, there are many Tartar cavalry, which is conducive to fighting on the plains.

We have lived in the hills for a long time, especially in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and the four (Sichuan) are surrounded by high mountains and mountains, so it can be said that we are the king of the hills and the king of the mountains.

My opinion is to coerce and lure the Tartars and introduce them into the western Hunan and Hubei regions, so as to first thwart the Tartars' spirit, and then attack the whole army."

Everyone has seen the power of the Tartar cavalry, especially in this ambush battle in Yuanzhou, the 11th town was poorly defended and the opponent succeeded in the sneak attack, and finally the master was killed and martyred.

Now seeing that Yang Xuan's attention has been decided, they all kowtow and say yes.

Since you have made up your mind to pay attention, after attracting the main force of the Tartars to the decisive battles in Xiangxi and western Hubei, and then driving straight into Guangfu Huguang, the pressure on the surface is not relaxed at all.

In order to provoke the Tartars, Yang Xuan asked a thin wooden box to be loaded with the heads of Luck Dehun and Liu Zhiyuan, and three more empty boxes were prepared for people to send.

On the other hand, Yang Xuan left Li Dingguo to guard Wugang and Feng Youqing to guard Yuanzhou, and made a posture of marching into the south of the lake to attract the Ming army.

In early March of this year, Yang Xuan led the main force to retreat in the direction of Guizhou (Zhou) and Xiangsi (Sichuan).
