Real gold is not afraid of fire.

It was the mule and the horse that came out for a walk.

The Chu army used to fight with the Qing army, almost invincible, everyone thought they were the first class strong army in the world, but after encountering the Western army, they were defeated again and again, and they were almost powerless to fight back.

After the Battle of Huguang, Wu Sangui felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Chu army.

The Chu army is actually not that strong.

In the past, the Qing army won a hundred battles because the Eight Banners had rotten.

The Western Army is the real strong army.

Of course, the strength of the Western Army, mainly in Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are as famous as him, in the Battle of Huguang are mediocre, what is even more rare is that Sun Kewang Wen Taowu strategy, everything is outstanding, it is said that all kinds of internal affairs of the Western Army are handled by him, and everything is taken care of in an orderly manner, and the Western Army can have such a combat power and scale as it is now, Sun Kewang has made great contributions.

In the early stage of the Battle of Huguang, Wu Sangui still had a trace of suspicion, the Chu army was retreating but it was luring the enemy to go deeper, even if it lost the provincial capital Changsha, it might be a bitter plan to show weakness and arrogance to the enemy, but the loss of Hengyang tore off their last fig leaf, and the Chu army had clearly been ravaged by the Western Army on the ground, and the plan to lure the enemy was not so tempting.

Just like the old saying, the reluctant child can't trap the wolf, the problem is that the Chu army has not only given up the child now, but he has also been severely bitten by the Western army and bruised all over his body, it is said that several troops have been disabled, almost bare-bottomed and fled to the ravine, how can he still have the strength to turn back and fight the wolf. Moreover, the Western Army has occupied so many important cities, and it can already build a complete defense system, even if the Chu army still has mobile forces, it will not be good to launch a counterattack now, Hengyang, Changsha, Yuezhou, Changde...... The Chu army abandoned the two big cities of Changsha and Hengyang one after another, turned around and attacked these two fortified cities, wasting precious troops on the brutal battle of the fortified city, and there was absolutely no such reason in the world.

Chu Jun really can't do it.

Perhaps because of the repeated battles, the Chu army was already tired of veterans.

Perhaps it was because the Western Army was too strong for the Chu Army to be able to defeat it.

All in all, the Chu army was defeated by the Western army.

Next, the defeat of the Battle of Huguang will cause a chain reaction, and the entire defense line of the Chu army will be loosened, if this is a feast to carve up the territory of the Chu army, then the next is the climax of this feast, the Western Army has the fastest action, and has already grabbed the big fat of Huguang, but Wu Sangui still has a chance.

The importance of Jianghuai is not much worse than that of Huguang.

What's more, Nan Zhili is the last main dish of this feast.

Wu Sangui has been standing still, waiting for the opportunity, now, the best time has really arrived, although the current situation and his initial expectation is very different, but everything has disadvantages must be beneficial, after the Western Army captured Huguang, Wang Kefan in order to block the Western Army from continuing to advance eastward, will inevitably continue to increase troops to Jiangxi and Guangdong, Jianghuai and Nanzhili are becoming more and more empty, at this time to the south, it is an excellent fighter!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defeat of the Chu army by the Western Army has become the climate, and our army can no longer sit idly by." Wu Sangui's voice was extremely loud, and his sonorous tone showed his confidence in victory, and there was a faint voice of Jin Shi: "Spread the order of the king, and the officers and soldiers of the whole army will send troops from the same day to attack Huai'an!" ”

……

Since Emperor Longwu was robbed to Nanjing, Guangdong has been in a state of impetuousness with an undercurrent.

Compared with other feudal officials, Su Guansheng's qualifications are the shallower, his prestige is not high, and the situation in Guangdong is very complicated, the Southern Party is deeply rooted here and has great influence, because of the butterfly effect brought by Wang Kefan, the traverser, the Qing army has not been able to attack Guangdong several times in the south, so the original social order is relatively intact, like He Wusu, Chen Zizhuang and other Southern Party bigwigs, although they are not in Guangdong, but they still have huge influence in the local area, Su Guansheng got off the car, no matter what he wanted to do, Without the support of the Southern Party and the local gentry, the decree would hardly have been able to leave Guangzhou.

In addition to the Southern Party, the Chu army also has a great influence in Guangdong, and the coastal areas around Hong Kong have become the Chu army's own land, not only officials at all levels use Chu to elect officials, and the power of people, property and property is in their own hands, but also has their own army, and usually deals with Su Guansheng's governor Yamen, and he is also an equal posture that is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not at all inferior to him, the governor of Guangzhou. Because of the relationship between Zhang Jiayu and the Dongguan battalion, the locals of Dongguan and Nanhai County have accepted the Chu army and regarded these northern Yankees as their own.

Since Su Guansheng took office as the governor of Liangguang, he has always felt like a beetle trapped in a spider's web, every punch and every kick is thrown out, although he will not encounter positive obstacles, but there are countless spider silk pulling his hands and feet in all directions, all kinds of lack of strength, Su Guansheng sometimes laughs at himself with his henchmen, he is nominally the governor of Liangguang, but in fact he is just a larger prefect, and everywhere he has to look at the face of the Southern Party and the Chu army.

The difficulties of the magistrates could not be understood by the court officials in the center.

A magistrate like Su Guansheng, who wants to make a career, is in a particularly difficult situation.

Fortunately, Su Guansheng is a strong-willed person, in order to repay the kindness of Emperor Longwu, in order to realize his personal ambitions, he has been working silently in the past few years, not discouraged, not giving up, gradually pulling up his own set of team, and calming down to do a few practical things, and finally has prestige in the officialdom, and his reputation among the people is also good, and he has gained a firm foothold in Guangdong.

Guangdong has always been in the rear, undamaged by the war, the local economy is prosperous, and a large number of refugees from the north have poured in to serve as laborers, clearing wasteland and farming, working in factories, working hard and complaining, and willing to do any dirty work. Although Hong Kong did not listen to Guangzhou's orders, the Chu army's ability to make money was really powerful, and he did almost any business, even the native monkeys of Luzon were caught and sold as coolies, cargo ships shuttled on the Pearl River day and night, and even Guangzhou also shared a lot of profits, and met Su Guansheng, a good official who was still self-denying and dedicated, Guangdong can be said to be prosperous and prosperous in the past two years.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Until the Western Army supported Zhu Cihuan, the king of Yong, and began to attack Guangxi.

In order to support Emperor Longwu's Guangxi Battle, Su Guansheng lost almost all the money he had accumulated in the past two years, not only sent a large amount of money and grain, but also sent more than 20,000 Qinwang troops, when Emperor Longwu was robbed by the Chu army to Nanjing, more than 20,000 Qinwang troops only withdrew more than 3,000 people, and the weapons and equipment were lost, almost running back with a bare butt...... Tan Tai used 1,500 cavalry to defeat Guo Weijing's 30,000 Qinwang army, including many Guangdong soldiers sent by Su Guansheng.

The Chu army is too powerful! Emperor Longwu announced to the world in Nanjing, announcing that the capital would be returned to Nanjing, Su Guansheng watched for a few days, and saw that the other princes from all walks of life bowed their heads one after another, as long as they also expressed their submission to Nanjing, although he scolded Wang Kefan countless times behind his back, but he did not have the strength to fight against the Chu army, so he could only accept the reality.

As a result of this great change, the southern party forces in Guangdong were also dealt a heavy blow.

The rise of the Southern Party lies in the fact that after the Qing army entered the customs, the ruling center of the Southern Ming Dynasty continued to retreat south, and it was inevitable to reuse the literati doctors from the south, among which most of them were officials from Guangdong, who were numerous, held real power, and held various official positions from the center to the locality, and gathered together, it was an unusually powerful political force, which could easily defeat the behemoth Donglin Party of the year, and could influence the will of Emperor Longwu, and could confront Chu Xun who held military power, but after Emperor Longwu returned to Nanjing, In fact, the Yugoslav Party has been driven out of the center of power, and its gradual decline is an inevitable end.

He Wuyu, Chen Zizhuang and other southern party bigwigs were sent by Liu Fangliang to "escort" to Nanjing, and soon became a marionette ornament, without the support of these court bigwigs, the local southern party forces also lost their original arrogance, but Guangdong is the base camp of the southern party, many people with lofty ideals dream of eradicating the national thief Wang Kefan, reviving the Ming Dynasty, they hate the Chu army more than Su Guansheng, the loyal imperial party, some unrealistic scholars and corrupt Confucians have even been put into action, secretly conspiring associations, and conspiring every day.

Some people suggested that they could use a lot of money to invite martial arts masters to follow the example of Bo Lang in the pre-Qin period to assassinate Wang Kefan with one blow.

Some people also suggested that they could select people who debated their tongues, lobbied such as Su Guansheng and Wan Yuanji, or local warlords like Zheng Chenggong and Jin Shenghuan, and persuaded them to erect the banner of "Qing Jun's side, begging for national thieves", crusading against Wang Kefan, and then writing a loud and sound article, and the world will inevitably respond en masse.

Some people also suggested that they could follow the example of borrowing troops from Tibet at the end of the Tang Dynasty to quell the Anshi Rebellion, and borrow troops from the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the Western Army, and so on.

For these whimsical and unstable factors, Su Guansheng dealt with them very resolutely and high-pressurely, caught and punished, caught in prison and let them eat for a few years, and then raided his house and fined him to bankrupt, to see if they were honest or not, Su Guansheng has enough trouble now, these blind guys are still coming to make trouble, of course they can't be polite to them.

After some vigorous and resolute handling, Su Guansheng temporarily stabilized the situation in Guangdong, and then the Western Army and the Qing Army joined forces to launch an attack on the Chu Army.

Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, but looking back afterwards, it seems to have come over in the blink of an eye, Su Guansheng was surprised to find that it only took half a year for the Western Army to defeat the Chu army and occupy the entire territory of Huguang.

Changsha and Hengyang were lost one after another, and when the news came, the government and people in Guangdong were in an uproar.

How did the Chu army become so weak?

The Western Army has already reached the doorstep, what should I do?
