118th The Situation in the World

In August of the first year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty (1647 in the Western calendar, the fourth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), not long after Zhu Youlang raised the emergency food and salary, the situation in the world was very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the unexpected death of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, the warlords of southern Sichuan were divided. Because Sichuan is too far away from the center of the Ming court, and has been on the front line of resisting the Qing Dynasty for a long time, the imperial court whip is beyond reach, and most of the generals have become warlords, and Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, died of an unexpected illness.

In this situation. It is necessary to appoint another Sichuan supervisor with both ability and political integrity to clean up the mess, Zhu Youlang thought twice and decided to use Wen Anzhi, who was idle in the township, as the Sichuan supervisor.

Wen Anzhi, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, once served as the secretary of Nanjing and the sacrificial wine. Later, he was impeached by the powerful minister Xue Guoguan and dismissed from his home. King Fu of Nanming was appointed as Zhan Shi, and King Tang was called as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but they were not inaugurated due to inconvenient transportation.

In the real history, Wen Anzhi went to Xing in the third year of Yongli, in order to contact the soldiers of the towns in central Sichuan, he invited himself to serve as the governor of Sichuan, and when he went to Duyun in Guizhou, he was detained by Sun Kewang. A few months later, he escaped to eastern Sichuan and contacted the rebel army on the Sichuan-Hubei border - the Thirteen Families of Kuidong to resist the Qing Dynasty. Stand alone in crisis. It held out until 1659 and was politically competent.

His qualifications and abilities are sufficient to serve as a feudal official. Moreover, it is in the Three Gorges of Hubei, and it is also more convenient to enter Sichuan from Hubei.

The situation in Yunnan is also worse.

Due to the chaos of Tusi Shading Island. The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the governor of Yunnan were both prisoners of Shadingzhou, and after Shadingzhou occupied Kunming, he called himself "General Mansion", and "General Mansion" was the general title of the Duke of Ming and Qianguo. His wife, Wan, is called the main mother. "And the public in and out, all over the gentleman. There are many people who are plotting for the right of Yunnan's Hao." Sha Dingzhou sent troops to chase Mu Tianbo, but was defeated by the army assembled by Yang Weizhi in Chuxiong. After the defeat of his westward advance, he sent troops to collect all parts of Yunnan, and in a short period of time, except for the area west of Chuxiong under the control of Yang Weizhi and Mu Tianbo, they all belonged to the Sha clan.

Sha Dingzhou easily grabbed the wealth accumulated by Mu Mansion over the years. "Mu's town in Yunnan, the house is surplus. Buddha top stone, blue arrowhead, dansha, falling red, amber, horseshoe, red gold are all loaded with Zheng, Zheng are all 100 catties, hidden with high plates, 50 plates, a total of more than 250 libraries, his treasures are incalculable. Dingzhou was transported into Bentong for many months." He made a windfall as a result.

Yunnan is too far away from Guangdong, thousands of miles away, the road is rugged, Zhu Youlang has no good way, can only try his best to remedy, he ordered Yunnan deputy envoy Yang Weizhi to serve as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, coordinate the local Tusi to exterminate Shadingzhou.

In this place in Yunnan, the position of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, is irreplaceable, the big and small Tusi only recognize the hereditary iron coupons of the Duke of Qianguo, although Sha Dingzhou occupied Kunming, but Mu Tianbo fled alone with the hereditary iron coupons and official seals, and the other Tusi are not subject to Sha Dingzhou.

In order to maintain his rule, Sha Dingzhou coerced and controlled the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and issued various orders with their official seals.

Yang Weizhi is a magistrate in Yunnan, stationed in Chuxiong, after the rebellion of Shadingzhou, Mu Tianbo fled to Yongchang Mansion, Yang Weizhi defended Chuxiong alone, resisted Shadingzhou, the two sides have been deadlocked for several months, he served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and could lead other Tusi to fight against Shadingzhou.

However, at this time, Guizhou has been occupied by the rest of Zhang Xianzhong, the dedication and the Ministry are different after all, after the death of Li Zicheng, the part of the Chuang collapsed, and now it has been divided between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but after the death of Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others were able to unite as one, conspire to advance and retreat, and it is still a strong force, they took advantage of the Ming army and the Qing army to fight, from Sichuan to Guizhou, all the way to conquer Zunyi, Guiyang, and seize Guizhou.

If the local history has not changed, in a few months, Sun Kewang will invade Yunnan, exterminate Shadingzhou, and finally gradually encroach on Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, relying on natural barriers, reorganize troops in the southwest, and accumulate strength.

Now no one knows what attitude is towards the Ming and Qing armies, what is the attitude of the rest of the loyal troops, if they still carry the banner of anti-Ming, then the two Guangxi will fall into the dilemma of left and right, and the situation in the world will be difficult to predict.

Fortunately, in recent months, the pressure from Guangzhou has not been great, and Li Chengdong returned from two expeditions to the west without success, not only losing his troops and losing his strength, but also being severely criticized by the regent of the Qing court, Dorgon, and ordered him to reorganize his armament, capture and kill Yongli as soon as possible, and make meritorious service for his crimes.

Li Chengdong was holding back a fire in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.

Before the capture and killing of two Ming emperors, he thought that he had made outstanding achievements, and the post of governor of Liangguang was none other than himself. Unexpectedly, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded, the Qing court reused the "Liao people", and actually made Tong Yangjia, who did not have much seniority and military exploits, become the governor of Guangdong and the governor of Liangguang. And he only fell to the position of governor of Guangdong, not only did he have no right to intervene in local government affairs, but also had to accept Tong Yangjia's dispatch and control in military operations, and the original status of the two colleagues became a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

The unfair treatment made by the Qing court to reuse the "Liao people" was unacceptable to the ambitious Li Chengdong, and now because of the defeat in the war, he has to look at Tong Yangjia's face every day, Li Chengdong's heart is already very dissatisfied, and several times, he has been staring at Tong Yangjia's head, until Tong Yangjia is hairy in his heart, he laughed and left.

As early as the beginning of August of the first year of Yongli, Dolgon had already clearly ordered Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, and Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, and continued Shun Gong Shen Zhixiang and the right-wing Gushan Ezhen Jin Li to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to the south to pacify, and Kong Youde was the general of Pingnan to control the troops. All the way to Huguang, all the way through Zhejiang, Fujian, into Guangdong. The east and west are flanked, striving to capture Yongli in one fell swoop and eliminate the Ming court.

This time, Kong Youde and other Han army banners of Sanshun Wang and Yishun Gong almost poured out, with a total of more than 47,000 soldiers and auxiliaries under his subordinates, and 15,000 Han army banners led by Jin Li to help in the battle.
