Chapter 45: The World Shakes

As the cheers of the heaven-shattering resounded between heaven and earth, in an instant, even the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were still fighting in the distance, put down the fight between each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Looking from afar, it seems that you can still see a commander of the Ming army who is using a horse spear to raise Nikan's head high.

The Ming army, which carried out the task of intercepting the main force of the Qing army, was ignited almost instantly after hearing the cheers. When the jubilation of the Ming army seemed to make the dawn of this winter more and more warm, the Qing army that was still trying their best to fight just now was stunned one by one, and even their faces were gray.

Ai Xinjue Luo Nikan, Prince Jingjing, one of the three kings of the once high-ranking and powerful government, the son of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi, and the cousin of the contemporary Manchu emperor Shunzhi.

With such an identity, especially today, when most of the princes and nobles who swept the world at the time of entering the customs have withered, Nikan can even be said to be the most proficient general among the Manchu nobles except for Prince Zheng Zierharang, who has not asked anything for a long time. But such a god-like figure in the eyes of ordinary Qing soldiers was killed by the Ming army on the battlefield, and the shock can be imagined.

The commander died, and even if he didn't look at it, he knew that the whole army had no intention of fighting again. Seeing this, senior generals such as Bel Tunqi, Ba Sihan, Beizi Zakana, Mu Eryou, Gushan Ezhen Han Dai, Yild, and Ah Lashan hurriedly left their wounded soldiers and dead bodies, and fled north in a hurry, lest they be caught up by the Ming army with high morale, so that the whole army would be annihilated.

On the battlefield, the cheers continued, and Li Dingguo had already noticed the back of the Qing army's hasty northward flight, but at this time, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong's two generals still did not arrive, and after collecting Nikan, Cheng Ni and the Qing cavalry guarding Nikan and the wounded soldiers and corpses left behind, Li Dingguo had to lead the army back to Hengyang.

Exiting the city from the south gate, there are three heads hanging on it at a glance. Li Dingguo knew that these three chiefs were all from the northernmost part of Guangzhou Prefecture in Guangdong, and they were Mao Shenghui, the deputy general of Lianyang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ma Si Khan, and Bai Shoufu, the garrison. These three generals of the Qing army are all his current generals, and the masterpieces of the previous Anding Bomabao.

As early as when Li Dingguo killed Kong Youde and took Guangxi, Ma Bao, who was still fighting against the Qing army in Guangdong, led the army to attack the north of Guangzhou, Liankeyangshan, Lianzhou, Lianshan and other prefectures and counties after capturing the three Qing army generals alive, and was ordered to enter Huguang with Li Dingguo to resist the Qing army. And these three heads were beheaded at that time and hung at the south gate of Hengyang.

In fact, not only Ma Bao, but also after Kong Youde's death, many of Guangxi's civil officials and military generals returned to the mountains to participate in righteous deeds.

Among the generals, such as Zhao Yinxuan, the founding duke, Hu Yiqing, the former Qingguo duke, Chen Bangfu, the former Qingguo duke, Yuan Laichao, the old Zhangwu general, and the generals Wang Dajie, Lei Zhaosheng, and Ou Zhengfu, the generals of Yongguo Gong Cao Zhijian, all served in the army. In terms of civil officials, Liu Yuansheng, the secretary of the military department of the Yongli Imperial Court, Guan Qiu, the head of the Zhongshu Sheren, and Zhu Changshi, the director of the military department, also came out of the Yao mountains to see Li Dingguo, discuss the opportunity, and assist in guarding Guilin. Wu Decao, the former governor of Guangxi, was also appointed in Wuzhou at his order, "sitting on the gatehouse, checking in and out", and the whole province of Guangxi was set up as an official.

According to the records of Qu Changwen, the grandson of Qu Shiyun, who was in Guilin at the time, Guangxi's "eight counties in the righteous minister, avoiding the fishy in the deep and poor valleys, migrating to the difficulty, and always waiting for the time, never change their guards. ”

Although there is no lack of Qu Changwen to show off and praise his grandfather Qu Shiyun, the news of Guilin's victory did greatly invigorate the people of Guangxi to resist the Qing Dynasty.

As Li Dingguo expected, in the following days, such as Zhou Kanggeng, the squire of the Ministry of Works of the Chongzhen Dynasty who was awarded the secretary of the household department but did not arrive at the beginning of Hongguang, Guo Duxian, the governor of Jiangxi of the Chongzhen Dynasty who was awarded the secretary of the military department but did not take office, and the Huguang squires of Tao Runai, who later cut their hair and called themselves ninja Tuo, but were persecuted by the literary prison, also responded to the call. As for the scholars and righteous men who came to serve, there are too many to mention.

As Li Dingguo circulated the portraits of Kong Youde and Nikan in all directions, and the news of Nikan's killing sounded like thunder in the Manchu officialdom, the news of Li Dingguo's "two famous kings" spread at a flying speed, and more and more disheartened scholars rejoined the ranks of fighting against the atrocities of the Manchu Qing to exterminate Chinese civilization.

Flowing down the Yangtze River, it soon spread among the Shilin in the southeast, and for a time even Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, who had just killed the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Chen Wen, who had been unanimously favored before, was also suppressed.

"It is rumored that the West Pole Horse has gone to Xiangdong in the new way.

The five ridges cover the sky and fog, and the three songs fall into the wood.

The intermittent pass is lucky, and the miasma is in the barbarian.

If there is no Three Kings Ceremony, who will receive a war merit.

Twenty years of river bridge thieves, in the present axe.

The national prestige side was shocked, and the troops were already far away.

Zhang Chusan's military order, respect Thursday Haixin.

The scholar planned to go slightly, but he didn't feel deep tears. ”

This "Rumors" is a poem written by Gu Yanwu after learning the news of Guilin's victory and feeling agitated. When the news of Li Dingguo's Hengyang victory came to kill Nikan, Gu Yanwu and Wu Zhenyuan, Wu Zongqian, Ye Hengjuan, Guizhuang, Pan Tazhang and other members of the Amazing Poetry Society gathered in Wujiang and wrote poems to praise this amazing feat!

………………

The commander of the Southern Expedition, a Manchu prince, was beheaded by the Ming army, and the highest-ranking of the Southern Expeditionary Qing Army, Dorobele Tunqi, hurriedly asked Beijing for help after fleeing back to Changsha.

Flying pigeons, fast horses, galloping all the way to bring the news back to Shunzhi's imperial case. But this time, the young Tartar Emperor seemed to have been drained of even the strength to overturn the table, and just sat on the dragon chair in a daze, without saying a word.

After a long time, in the eyes of the eunuchs who were trying to dodge in the main hall, two lines of tears crossed the corners of Shunzhi's eyes, and at the same time he muttered: "I have never lost this by using soldiers." ”

Nikan was twenty-eight years older than Shunzhi and even two years older than Dorgon, who was one of the three kings of governance when Dolgon was alive, and after Dolgon's death, Nikan was suppressed by Shunzhi on charges of sitting back and watching Azig hide weapons without reporting them. Shunzhi's cry was naturally not the death of his cousin, but the death of Nikan, which made him begin to be afraid, afraid of the Han people who were inspired by this to swarm up, afraid of the possibility of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, and even more afraid of the fate of him, a slave chief, after the Han people restored the rivers and mountains!

It was easy to put aside the idea of returning to the harem to find his mother, the later Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, Borzigit Bumubutai, and Shunzhi hurriedly recruited several of his henchmen and some capable minions.

A group of people quickly rushed to the main hall, not only the previous Sonny and Aobai, but also the Minister of the Guard, Zheng Huang Banner and Su Ke Saha, who was the White Banner, and among the other minions, there were also old ministers such as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who were missing the last time Chen Wen defeated Chen Jin and swept away the Qing army in southwest Zhejiang.

Nikan is dead, and these high-ranking powers have naturally learned the details. It is not a pity to die against the enemy, but the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was broken by a Ming army general, which means too many things and chain reactions, so much so that these loyal dogs of Shunzhi are as quiet as cicadas, as if they are incarnated as shrunken turtles, and they don't even dare to make a move, which seems to be the same as those eunuchs who have just been blasted out like amnesty.

"For today's plan, the only way to increase troops to Huguang is to increase the number of troops as soon as possible."

Everyone was silent, but Aobai, who had always been full of spirit, stood up and said loudly. But even if he said this, Ao Bai knew that there was no soldier to adjust at this moment!

Beijing is far away from Huguang, and Nikan walked for four months to reach Huguang, but as soon as he got there, he was killed before he could do anything, and it was obvious that he was going to send his head.

But he died like this, it was a hundred, the Ming army had just won a great victory, and with a large army, how could he not take advantage of the victory to pursue, then Beijing's reinforcements were afraid that even if they arrived, they could only collect the corpses of Tunqi, Ba Sihan and others.

As for the nearby transfer, since Li Dingguo was able to defeat the army of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, then the green battalion soldiers in Jiangnan would be sent to death. Besides, no one may really dare to go, just like Wang Yipin, the governor of Guangxi who tried to avoid taking office by bribery, the green camp Han will be so frightened that he won't even dare to come out of the bed.

Up to now, even if it is reinforcements, it can only send the Eight Banners Army, but the recent Eight Banners Army, Jiangning Garrison Eight Banners has never been lightly moved, Hangzhou Garrison Eight Banners do not dare to leave Zhejiang half a step at the moment, and Alzin's Manmeng Eight Banners of several thousand people Although it is the most recent and the strongest Eight Banners Army in the left, but now the mobile forces of the Jiangxi Green Battalion have all been attracted by Chen Wen to western Zhejiang. According to the report of Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, the anti-Qing rebel army in western Jiangxi had merged with a partial division of Li Dingguo, and the local Qing army was unable to exterminate it, so how could they dare to transfer Arjin to the Huguang battlefield to reinforce Tunqi?

For a time, the Manchu elites, who had millions of troops and occupied seven or eight out of ten of China, suddenly discovered that with the deterioration of the situation in the southeast, they had only one way left to go in the southwest battlefield.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military generals all talked about the change of the tiger when they mentioned the Qing army, and the Han bureaucrats who were attached to the Qing court often asked the imperial court to send "Zheng Manchuria" to participate in the war whenever the military situation was urgent.

In less than half a year, Li Dingguo waved his army to fight thousands of miles, and successively killed two princes of the Manchu Dynasty, especially killed the prince Gui Wei and personally commanded the Manchu Eight Banners to go south, intending to eradicate the Jing Jing Prince Nikan of the Ming army in the southwest in one fell swoop. It not only stifled the ambition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to quickly destroy the anti-Qing movement, but also shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Manchurian Eight Banners in one fell swoop.

Although the damage caused by these two great victories to the living forces of the Manchu Qing was far less exaggerated than imagined and later rumors, the officials and gentry loyal to the Ming dynasty were all in high spirits and rekindled their hopes for revival.

At this moment, the Qing army has long ceased to be as arrogant as before, and the anti-Qing forces in various places are also deeply encouraged, although Li Dingguo has not been able to further expand the results of the war, but in the southwest battlefield, the Ming army has completely changed from defense to attack, and Zhongxing Daming at this moment seems to be no longer an unattainable dream!
