Wu Sangui achieved a great victory in Xiningwei, and then sent a messenger in the direction of Hanzhong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Wu Sangui's department, went straight to the east, all the way to the important town of Lanzhou.

From the Xining Acropolis to Lanzhou Fucheng, it was only a distance of 400 miles, and Wu Sangui's cavalry rushed away in tattered armor and soon arrived at Lanzhou Fucheng.

Wu Sangui has always been the Dinghai Shenzhu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the northwest, and now the only remaining Han prince, even if the army is defeated, there are no less than 40,000 former Guanning troops in Hanzhong, and he can be called a big man on the northwest ground, even the imperial court has to provide for this prince with heavy troops, and the officials of Lanzhou dare to put him in danger.

In this case, this time Wu Sangui personally led the army to flee in a hurry, and there was the smoke and dust of the chasing soldiers for several miles behind him, and the city of Lanzhou immediately opened the city gate and invited Wu Sangui to enter the city to assist in the defense, and at the same time, it was also to avoid the possibility of being held accountable by the Qing court if he did not save him.

However, after Wu Sangui's army entered the city, he quickly took control of the city under the pretext of taking over the city defense, and then lost to Zhang Tianfu's troops who came after him, so he had to raise his troops to the east and continue to stage the chase on the official road to the distant Xi'an Mansion.

Lanzhou was inexplicably captured by the rebels, and Wu Sangui fled eastward again, relying on the shipping capabilities of his cavalry and Weishui to flee eastward at a very fast speed.

It's just that Wu Sangui's army is moving fast, but it is faster than gossip. The king of Pingxi defeated Xiningwei, and the whole Shaanxi soon became a rumor, and it didn't take long for Zhang Tianfu to lead the Western Mongolian Department into the customs, and defeated Wu Sangui in Xiningwei, and then began to sweep the shocking news of Shaanxi.

Moxi Mongolia was mainly active in Xinjiang, Central Asia, Qinghai and Tibet in later generations, and there were Dzungar, Heshute, and Turghut.

Among them, Turgot had already moved west decades ago, and there would be a return to the east in history, but it is impossible for it to appear in Shaanxi today. The remaining two, Zungar dominates Xinjiang and Central Asia, and Heshute occupies Qinghai and Tibet, both of which are hegemons, and no one has the courage to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the decline of the Qing Dynasty to raise troops to advance eastward, especially the Zungar Department, which has such strength.

The plot of a stone was staged again, and many people said that it was Li Zicheng who warned Zhang Tianfutuo about his dream, and Wu Sangui plotted that Li Zicheng's retribution was coming, and then spread the news more and more widely.

The news spread like crazy, from Moxi Mongolia, to Moxi Mongolia, and then to Moxi Mongolia and Mobei and Southern Mongolia to reach an alliance, and elect a descendant of Genghis Khan as the Great Khan, to kill the Han land, eliminate the Manchu Qing and Southern Ming, so as to achieve the great cause of rebuilding the Great Yuan Empire!

The rumors on the road became more and more frightening, as if a million Mongolian horsemen would be heading south early the next morning. Just when this person was panicking, Wu Sangui's army went from Lanzhou Mansion to Gongchang Mansion and then to Fengxiang Mansion, and everywhere it went, it would not stay for a while and a half before it would be captured by the "Mongolian Iron Cavalry" and Zhang Tianfu's army, almost reproducing the speed when Wu Sangui led the Qing troops into the customs.

"Lord Wang, it is really pleasant to conquer the city so easily, it is very happy."

From west to east, 1,500 miles of road, everywhere you go, the city you pass is all easy to take, now Xi'an is in front of you, that is not only the provincial capital of Shaanxi, but also the ancient capital of the six dynasties and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now the only remaining garrison of the eight banners of Xi'an, Shaanxi Xi'an, the station of the right wing of the four banners, there are two thousand Manchurian and Mongolian eight banners in the city and several times the Manchurian and Mongolian military dependents, it can be said that it is the most important city in the entire northwest, there is no one!

"Yes, it's so easy, it's really impossible to copy, I'm afraid that when I get to Xi'an, I may not be fooled again."

It's not impossible to eat all over the world, but everyone is a fool, and a fresh method like him is time-sensitive, if it weren't for the cavalry running all the way, if it weren't for his status that forced those officials to let him into the city, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy.

Sure enough, when Wu Sangui's army rushed to the city of Xi'an, Chen Jixin, the governor of Shaanxi, went to the city in person and politely refused Wu Sangui's request to enter the city.

Faced with the closed door, Wu Sangui knew that the scam could no longer continue. Now is Chen Jixin's conservative measures to prevent changes, or whether this person has seen through his tricks, in fact, it doesn't matter anymore - the city gate is not open, and there is no need for him to wait for Zhang Tianfu to arrive before playing a trick under the city, because he doesn't know if the defenders of Xi'an have seen through his tricks.

"This Shaanxi governor Chen Jixin, this king has seen it, he is old and faint, and he doesn't look like a ruthless character when he looks at that face. Not to mention anything else, if you follow the example of Tie Xuan Tie Dingshi, the political envoy of Shandong during the Jingjing disaster, you only need to put a thousand catties of gates, even if the king is not stoned to death, once he falls into the city, it is a dead end to face the thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners. ”

Wu Sangui's face was full of happiness, thinking about the previous journey, the danger is not impossible, but this wealth is dangerous, plus there are not many defenders in various places, and they are all green camps, so he will be so big, and now in the face of the Eight Banners Army, since the people have closed the door and put an end to the risk of being deceived, he only has the only way to break in.

"I think that Emperor Chengzu was also a jack of sluice suddenly, and he could survive by smashing the horse's head, and this time the prince's situation is similar, all of which are caused by the deep blessings, and the last general thinks that he should be congratulated by the prince."

"Congratulations to the king."

Xia Guoxiang compared his father-in-law with Ming Chengzu with one mouth, and the generals also echoed it when they heard it. This is a troubled time, and a strong soldier is capital. Now, on the surface, it seems that the declining Manchu Qing Dynasty is facing off against the thriving Chen Wen, and everyone else can only fish in troubled waters. But this troubled world is not completely over one day, and it is difficult to predict what it will be like in the end, and they may not have no chance at all.

The current former Guanning Army Group, the generals below Wu Sangui are either his relatives or cronies who have followed him for many years, and the internal cohesion is extremely strong, which is more promising than those military leaders like the Great Western Army.

After the congratulatory voice, Wu Sangui still had to face the problems in front of him. Now that he only has the only way left to attack the city, he can only wait for the main army to arrive. After all, he only brought these thousands of cavalry, and he couldn't use cavalry to attack the city. What's more, all the way to the deception of the city, it is also exhausting, and it always takes time to repair one or two.

"There is a way that is not right, it is not good, it is time to fight the Tartars with the banner of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise in the face of the Eight Banners Army, the soldiers may not be able to play their full strength. What's more, now we don't use the banner of the Ming court to conquer Shaanxi, so as to attract people's hearts, and continue to play the banner of Tartar, I am afraid that when the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, we will have to give others a hand. ”

As early as when Wu Sangui instigated Li Guoying to mobilize his army to participate in the suppression against Zhang Tianfu, Wu Sangui had already sent people south to ask for help from the Yongli court. If he doesn't use the banner of the Ming Court to attract people's hearts and completely control the local power in Shaanxi, then when the reinforcements from the Ming Court arrive, he will be able to make wedding clothes for others with such painstaking planning.

Especially in the current situation, Chen Wenquan took Huguang, and the commander of the troops was likely to be the Jin King Li Dingguo, with Li Dingguo's prestige, even if he controlled the local government, he might not be able to overpower it, let alone the way it is now.

Wu Sangui had previously sent a messenger to Hanzhong to make an appointment, and now his son-in-law Xia Guoxiang had leveled the 1,000 Han military flags in Hanzhong and other local green battalion forces. According to the messenger's report, he is leading a large army to this place in the starry night, and it will not take a few days to arrive.

A few days later, under the leadership of Wu Sangui's son-in-law Xia Guoxiang, and his henchmen Yang Shen, Wu Guogui, and others, who had followed him as early as in Liaoxi, Wu Sangui's main force rushed to Xi'an as scheduled. Next, Zhang Tianfu's troops rushed from Wugong County to join forces with Wu Sangui, and the army finally gathered together, but Wu Sangui's intentions were also completely exposed to the eyes of the Qing army in the city.

In this regard, Wu Sangui had no intention of concealing it, and the next morning Wu Sangui took the stage to gather troops, seeing that tens of thousands of troops were in front of him, and the pride in his chest was also spontaneous.

"Soldiers, when the slave chief Dolgon promised this king to avenge the revenge of his father for the first emperor Chongzhen, this king switched and led the Tartars to eliminate the thieves. However, in the past ten years, the Tartars have exterminated the thieves, but they refused to retreat outside the Guan, but wantonly killed the people of our Han family in the Guan, just like when the Tyrannical Yuan went south. ”

"Over the years, this king has been restrained by Li Guohan and other traitors, enduring humiliation and stealing life, just to be able to see the Han family again one day. Now the Ming Dynasty has recovered Nanjing, the Eight Banners of Manchuria have been defeated in three battles in the south of the Yangtze River, the slave chief Zierharang has been awarded the head, the number of soldiers lost is 300,000, and the bannermen have been less than 20,000, and the extermination is imminent. This king and Zhang Zongbing plotted to kill the traitor Li Guohan, at this moment the army has recovered most of Shaanxi, it is the time to raise the banner of the Ming Dynasty again! ”

Wu Sangui shouted to the soldiers in the audience at the highest volume, and when he shouted here, he picked up a pair of scissors from the tray held by his son-in-law Guo Zhuangtu, reached out and brushed the tail of the money rat in the back of his head, and cut it down with just one pair of scissors, and then raised it high to show everyone.

The so-called head without hair, hair without hair, shaving order, without this braid is a dead end. Seeing the coach like this, even the most dull soldier can understand what Wu Sangui just said and what he has to do next!

After cutting his braids, Wu Sangui immediately took off the earthy yellow dragon robe given to him by the Manchu Qing Dynasty on stage, and then revealed the Han-style underwear inside. With the help of his own soldiers, Wu Sangui quickly changed into the military uniform and armor of a Ming army officer, which he had already prepared, and it was the style he had worn many years ago.

"Soldiers, this set of armor was given by the emperor when the king served as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the king has been treasured in the mansion all these years, and now he can finally wear this armor openly."

In a Qing army of tens of thousands of soldiers, the commander changed into the military uniform and armor of the Ming army, and then as Wu Sangui finished speaking, the banner of the king of Pingxi also slowly fell, and at the same time, another banner was slowly erected. The Guan Ning Army under Wu Sangui was not very literate, but with Wu Sangui's shout, everyone present quickly understood what was written on the new handsome flag.

"This king, the former chief military officer of Zhenningshan Customs, the current president of the world's water and land master Xingming to capture the general, the king of Hanzhong, Wu, by the emperor's secret edict, rebels against the barbarians, restore the Han family, swear to punish the slave chieftain in front of the army, and dedicate the head to the filial piety tomb, in order to comfort the emperor and the ancestors of the ancestors in the heavens!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

“……”

The throne of the king of Hanzhong was canonized to Wu Sangui by the Yongli court a few years ago, unilaterally, Wu Sangui did not accept it, and now he vows to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, and he will not surrender to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Li Guoying, and several captured generals of the Eight Banners pulled out to sacrifice the flag, and the title of the king of this county can be used to invite people to buy people's hearts.

The army held a braid-cutting ceremony on the makeshift school grounds, and tens of thousands of troops, along with those auxiliaries, had to cut their braids to show their determination to stand against the Manchus.

Compared with Chen Wen, who adhered to Emperor Longwu's principle of "shaving hair is a refugee, and keeping hair is obedient to the people", there was no forced cutting for ordinary people, and even temporarily convened auxiliary soldiers, now the hair of the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is spontaneously restored to the Han family's clothes, which is a trust in the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is also a clear proof that the Han family's clothes and crowns in this era are far from fading out of people's memories. On Wu Sangui's side, ordinary people can't be involved, but for those forcibly recruited auxiliaries, they have to cut their braids with the soldiers, and it seems that he can't put his mind at ease without this.

Tens of thousands of troops with more auxiliaries cut together, the scene is spectacular, these new Ming soldiers present look left and right, morale is even higher, cheers are endless, I don't know that the Guan Ning army has been preparing for this for many years, and finally waited for this day.

However, although Wu Sangui has been preparing for a long time since Chen Wenzhu killed Hong Chengchou, it is basically not on the surface, the braids are cut, and the flags have been changed, but tens of thousands of sets of Ming army uniforms cannot be prepared in a hurry, and now it can only be on the basis of the Qing army's uniforms and armor, and one person wears a red scarf around his neck as a difference.

This situation can not last too long, especially today, when Xi'an has not yet been captured, Wu Sangui wants to achieve a phased result for this time to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty - only by taking Shaanxi, connecting Sichuan, and leading the southwest Ming army to the north can we have the strength to confront the Qing army. Of course, after sitting and watching the situation for such a long time, Wu Sangui is not without killer features, but he can only use it at a critical moment.

The army was ready to stop, Wu Sangui immediately dispatched men and horses, Zhang Tianfu's department and Wang Pingfan's department to attack Anyuanmen in the north of the city, Yang Shen and Hu Guozhu led a group of men and horses to attack Yongningmen in the south of the city, and he led the "main force" with the same number as the other two partial divisions to attack Andingmen in the west of the city, but only let go of Changle Gate, which is the closest to Xi'an Mancheng and the only city gate in the east of the city, and launched the siege of Xi'an Fucheng with the iron law of soldiers who must besiege the city.

Wu Sangui's intention was obvious, forcing the four banners of the right wing of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province to abandon the city and flee. In this way, the provincial capital of Xi'an can be easily taken, and without the protection of the city, there will not be many people who can escape back in the face of Wu Sangui's superior cavalry.

This is the best solution for Wu Sangui, however, the commander of the Eight Banners Army, the 2,000 Manmeng Eight Banners and the garrison in Fucheng with the four banners of the right wing of Xi'an, Shaanxi, and the tens of thousands of Shaanxi Green Battalions that have come to aid in recent days, this Ang Bang Zhangjing does not intend to flee here. Not to mention anything else, the 20,000 dependents in the city could not escape the clutches of the Guanning army 100%, and Wu Sangui's arrangement was not without weaknesses at all.

"The barbarian surnamed Chen in Jiangnan may not be an opponent, but even Wu Sangui dares to show off his might in front of the Manchurian soldiers, and it is against the sky. Early tomorrow morning, Ben Shuai will personally raise the army to fight to the death with Wu Sangui, a dog minion! ”
