Opening the history books, the history of China from 1648 to 1649 is like a surging and tragic turbidity current, which is magnificent and exciting at first, but in the end it can only sigh.

"The Han people are not bloodless, it's just that the bloody Han people were all killed by the Manchus."

In the past year or so, He Zhen of Hanzhong, Wang Yongqiang of Shaanxi, Ding Guodong of Gansu, Mi Layin, Yuyuan Army of Shandong, Jiang Jiu of Shanxi, and even Jin Shenghuan of Jiangxi have raised their banners against the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless other small anti-Qing righteous divisions.

From the north of Inner Mongolia to the south of the Yangtze River, from the Gobi in Gansu to the coast of Shandong, the Qing army occupied almost everywhere. This is a general outbreak of the Han people in order to resist the brutal rule of the Qing court since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the impact was so great that even generals like Liu Zeqing felt that the Manchu Dynasty could not sit still, and secretly contacted the Yuyuan Army to prepare against the Qing.

At this time, the Yongli court in the south was in a safe corner, only knowing that it was fighting for power and profit internally, and sat back and watched the anti-Qing righteous divisions in the north being wiped out by the Qing army one by one, and even Jiangxi, which was close at hand, did not send troops to rescue...... After Jin Shenghuan and Jiang Hao were defeated one after another, the Manchu Qing Dynasty gained a firm foothold in the northern provinces, and there was no war in the north from then on.

In the following years, there were still some remnants of the anti-Qing righteous divisions, such as the remnants of the Yuyuan Army and the remnants of Jiang Jiu in Shanxi, who still persisted in the anti-Qing struggle in the north, but the scale and influence were much smaller, and there was no great threat to the rule of the Manchus.

In this time and space, the rising Chu army is like a solid dam, blocking the turbid current of history set off by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Forced it to turn a corner.

Jiangxi, still in the hands of the Ming army.

Eastern Crusade, launching a large-scale counteroffensive against the Qing army.

The Manchus were forced to divide their troops from Shanxi. Datong Jiang Jiu's pressure plummeted.

Li Laiheng's 2,000 cavalry even broke into the hinterland of the Central Plains, echoing the Yuyuan army from afar.

"Come on, raise our battle flag!"

Out of the boundary of Dengfeng and stepping into the Qianli Plain, Li Laiheng gave an order, and this cavalry unit raised its own battle flag. The horses galloped forward. The scarlet battle flag crackled in the wind, and the word "twist" on it was wantonly displayed.

"Little Tiger, what do you mean? Are we a twist camp or a twist camp? ”

Zhang Nai urged the horse to follow closely. The head kept up, looking at the mighty battle flag and reluctant to take his eyes off, just like looking at the most beautiful Aunt Mizhi in the world, eager to rush up and hold her in his arms. Kiss two hard. I heard that this battle flag was specially sent by Wang Kefan. The materials and embroidery are carefully selected, and it is indeed much more majestic than the ordinary battle flag...... However, the word "twist" is not easy to understand, and I don't know what it means.

"This is the name given to us by Wang Junmen, we are not called the Twist Battalion, nor the Twist Battalion, but the Twist Army!"

Li Laiheng thought about it and said with confidence: "I pondered the meaning of Wang Junmen. I hope that we will roll bigger and bigger and twist the volunteers in Henan into a rope. Turn the Tartars upside down. ”

"Good! The name of Twist Army is good, and it will be energized when you listen to it! Zhang Nai's legs clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward.

Thirty miles ahead, is the county seat of Xinzheng.

Because of the urgency everywhere in other places, the Manchu Qing Dynasty continued to draw troops from Henan, the hinterland of the Central Plains has become a vacuum zone, there are still a certain number of regular troops stationed in a prefecture like Luoyang, and there are only some local soldiers and villagers in the county town below to maintain law and order, and the 2,000 cavalry of the Twist Army suddenly killed like a divine soldier from the sky, and easily conquered Xinzheng without encountering effective resistance.

The 2,000 cavalry of the Twist Army were born in the Dashun Army, and mobile combat is their ability to watch their homes, and they have been to this place in Henan many times, and they can no longer be familiar with it. Just two days after the capture of Xinzheng, the nearby Qing army had not yet reacted, and they had killed Changge County fifty miles to the south in a blink of an eye.

Besiege.

Break the city.

Overnight!

The city wall of Changge was destroyed in the war a few years ago, because the local poverty has not been repaired properly, and the earthen wall more than one zhang high has many broken places, which is not much stronger than ordinary fortresses. As soon as they stepped on the city, the native soldiers on the city wall scattered in a hurry, and hung the Changge County Order that commanded the battle at the head of the city, and was cut down by the Chu soldiers.

Although Li Laiheng is young, he is very smart in battle, after he entered the plain area, he singled out the weak defense of the county town, those strong prefectures were not considered at all, even Zhengzhou, Xuzhou (Xuchang) such a state city did not touch, after the next county town stopped for a while, and in the blink of an eye to kill the next target.

After conquering each county seat, Li Laiheng would kill the Manchu officials who insisted on resisting, and treat all captives who surrendered preferentially. In addition to opening warehouses and releasing grain, the Twist Army also acted as a volunteer barber, and all the gentry and common people counted one by one, and when they met, they cut off the pig's tail on the back of their heads.

Li Laiheng doesn't care about the rest.

In such a short period of time, he could not distinguish who was the real traitor, who was a loyal and righteous man with a heart to the Ming Dynasty, and who was an opportunist who fished in troubled waters, and it was impossible to establish a solid base. The task of the Twist Army now is to sabotage, smash the rule of the Manchu grassroots government, and leave one mess after another, so that they can slowly clean it up and have a headache.

There are also many fortresses around Xinzheng and Changge, and I heard that the county town conquered by a strong Ming army closed the gates of the walled villages, as if facing a great enemy. But Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, who did not let them go, each led a detachment of men and horses to sweep around the county town and coerce these forts to surrender.

Li Laiheng's condition was simple, as long as these fortresses surrendered, the Twist Army would not harm anyone in the fortresses. He didn't want gold or silver, he didn't want food, as long as all the horses in these stockades, whether they were war horses or not, as long as they could ride and gallop, and their foot strength was passable, and there was an additional condition, that is, everyone had to cut their braids.

At the beginning, neither of the two forts that Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai's encounters surrendered.

It's not that you don't want to surrender, but you don't dare. The conditions proposed by Li Laiheng were too simple, and these two fortresses could not believe it.

There are relatively many horses in the north, and there are more or less horses in these forts, and some of the stronger places also raise a lot of war horses that can be used in battle. Although these horses are worth a lot of money, but compared with the safety of a fortress, it is not a big deal, as the saying goes, thieves do not go empty, seeing that hundreds of thousands of cavalry came outside the village, but only a dozen, more than twenty horses promised to withdraw the troops, who knows if it is a fraud?!

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the deadline had passed, and the two fortresses had not yet opened their doors to surrender, and Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai ordered the siege of the fortress.

These forts are all home-raised private soldiers, and they still resist very stubbornly in the face of the twisted army whose strength far exceeds their own.

But after all, fighting still depends on strength, and after a fierce attack, Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, successively conquered these two stubborn fortresses.

"He was the first to fight, and it was more difficult to fight such a broken village than Changge County." When Zhang Nai saw that he had injured more than a dozen brothers, he was furious and ordered the slaughter of the village, and all the young and strong men were to be executed.

Li Laiheng's side is the same, killing people and standing up.

Seeing that the Twist Army was so fierce, the back stockades did not dare to resist and surrendered tremblingly.

Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, who kept their promise, did not want anything but horses, but cut off their braids.

The next thing became very simple, Li Laiheng and Zhang Nai, they didn't need to send troops, as long as they sent a letter, those stockades obediently opened the door and surrendered, and took the initiative to cut off everyone's braids, and the horses were equipped with saddles and fed with concentrate.

The cavalry of the Qing army sent by Kong Youde was stationed in the area from Ruyang to Xuchang and Pingdingshan, and set up a tight defense line against the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain.

Isn't this gang of southern thieves still in Funiu Mountain? How did you run to Changge and fall from the sky?

Without caring about so much exploration, the Qing army immediately gathered men and horses and prepared to launch an attack on the Twist army. Changge is not far from Xuchang, but the formation of the Qing army is facing Funiu Mountain, and there is no offensive ability behind the buttocks, but it is possible to be beaten, so he panicked and dispatched troops from Ruyang and other places, and spent three days gathering troops, and then killed Changge.

They were all the Eight Banners cavalry under Luckdehun, although they were injured in the Battle of Huguang, but after returning to the plains, they still showed a strong fighting spirit, and under the leadership of the main general Bambulshan, they killed Changge violently.

Love Xin Jueluo? Bamburshan, is the Manchu clan, Nurhachi's grandson, but because his grandmother is only Nurhachi's concubine, so his status in the Manchu nobles is not high, when he entered the customs, he was a second-class Fengguo general, and in recent years, he was crowned a first-class Fengguo general.

As Nurhachi's own grandson, Bambul's sincerity is not very good.

He was also very unwilling to do this, and he worked very the battlefield, trying to get merit, and wanted to get ahead.

But the wealthy concubine has always been the focus of suppression, and he is often not as good as an outsider, compared with other descendants of Aixin Jueluo, he has lost at the starting line, and he is tightly pulled by his feet, no matter how hard he tries, he can't move forward.

(In history, Bambulshan often appeared in film and television dramas about Kangxi because of the party's attachment to Ao, because he wanted to establish a positive image of Kangxi, so Bambulshan was portrayed as a sinister and despicable villain, a villain who was specially slapped in the face by Kangxi.)

Such a low-blooded guy still wants to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne and oppose the "Emperor of the Ages" Kangxi, of course, how ugly and how to die...... In fact, this is just a deliberate dwarfing and ugliness, Bamburshan is not congenitally qualified, and can only use Aobai, and it is already very good to be able to do that step. (To be continued......)
