The Xi'an general Su Bai was forced to surrender by Han Yingqi, the general of Yansui, and Wang Zhiding, the governor of Sichuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Wu Sangui suddenly marched into Guiyang from Yunnan, he took Xia Guoxiang and Ma Bao as the vanguard, led more than 20,000 troops into Sichuan, and Ma Bao led the army straight to Chongqing. Due to the Doni Rebellion, the Qing army in Sichuan had already been cut off from grain and grass, and many green camp generals refused to follow the orders of Gao Minyi, the governor of Sichuan, on the grounds that Chen Du's family had been harmed by the Manchu and Mongolian army.
Wu Jun entered Sichuan at this moment, and he played the banner of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, which attracted the Qing army in Sichuan. After all, for most people, although there is a new Dingwu Emperor in Nandu, Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor, is orthodox. Feng Zhengshuo has been the mainstream of China since ancient times, and even the enemy camp cannot be excepted. Coupled with the fact that the Taiping Army is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, one is far away from the water, and the other is close to the fire, and it is clear who the Qing generals in Sichuan choose to be loyal to.
Gao Minzhan judged the situation and knew that he was unable to resist the Wu army, and it was impossible for those generals to retreat with him, so he preemptively sent people to the army of Xia Guoxiang, and asked for surrender in Chongqing and Chendu, and was willing to attack Baoning for the Wu army. In addition, Tan Yi, Tan Hong and other Qingming troops came to surrender, and Yongli in eastern Sichuan sent a superintendent, and Wen Anzhi, who was seriously ill, also sent envoys to welcome Emperor Yongli.
Wu Sanzhu was overjoyed after hearing the news, and appointed Gao Minzhan as the governor of Sichuan in the name of Emperor Yongli, and Tan Yi and others came to the Qing Dynasty to continue to be the Ming Hou, and came to invest in all officials to be rewarded and rewarded, and distributed rice and grain to appease tens of thousands of people in Sichuan, which quickly stabilized the situation in Sichuan. In addition, Yongli planned to summon Wen'an to Guiyang, and wanted to use him as the first assistant of the cabinet, so as to clean up and recruit the miscellaneous forces of the Ming army in Yunnan, Guichuan and other places.
At the suggestion of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui ordered the survivor of the "Difficulty of Cursing Water", Ma Jixiang's son-in-law, Yang Zai, who served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to Nanjing with the Yongli Holy Decree, urging the Tang King to abandon the emperor and return to the domain, and ordered the Nandu to take the fourteenth year of Yongli as the main Shuo on the same day, and send an envoy to Guiyang to pay tribute to the Yongli Emperor.
In fact, Wu Sangui felt that this proposal was very ridiculous, he said that the thief Xiucai had already embraced the new emperor, where would he pay attention to Zhu Youlang. Then the Tang Emperor has only been doing it for a few days, how can he be willing to leave the throne. This matter is a bit ridiculous, I really want the south to be soft, but now the plan is to enter Beijing first, he set the martial arts to sacrifice the filial piety tomb, Zhu Youlang will be able to sacrifice the emperors below the ancestors, at that time there is no shortage of righteous names in Yongli, the legal system is also the grandson of the gods, and there are generals, and it is difficult to say who the hearts of the people are.
Hong Chengchou laughed and said that this matter was ridiculous, but he couldn't help but do it. If you don't send the southern capital, wouldn't you admit that Yongli is not as good as Dingwu, and the old emperor is not as good as the new emperor, or will you acquiesce in the legality of the small court of Dingwu?
The importance of this matter does not lie in whether the southern capital is willing to back down, and the thief Xiucai really left the Tang King to re-serve Yongli, but in calling Jiangnan, Huguang, Liangguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the northern provinces know that the Son of Heaven is still there!
The Son of Heaven is here, what kind of emperor does the Tang King do!
Yongli is in one day, and Dingwu can't be counted!
As soon as Hong Chengchou said this, Wu Sangui suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Zhu Youlang to hurry up and draft the purpose. In order to protect himself, and in order to gain the support of Wu Sangui, and even more for his own throne, Zhu Youlang agreed to all kinds of instructions to Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou. When Wu Sangui set off from Guiyang into Sichuan, the three holy decrees of the king were issued from Guiyang at the same time.
One is the holy decree of Zhou Shixiang as the "King of Qi", the other is the holy decree of Zheng Sen as the king of "Fujian", and the other is the holy decree of Li Laiheng as the "King of Shun".
Zhou Shixiang had already been canonized by the King of Tang in the southern capital of Qi, and the whole world heard about it, but Zhu Youlang issued the royal decree again, which was useful. If Zhou Shixiang accepted the title of "King of Qi" in Yongli, the Dingwu court of the Tang Dynasty would immediately be wiped out; If Zhou Shixiang does not accept it, then Yu Zhu Youlang will not be damaged, and the people of the world will at least see the generous reward he has for meritorious ministers, and will not blame him for not knowing the rewards and punishments as before, and being stingy with the prince. With this attitude, Hong Chengchou has to let Zhu Youlang do enough.
Nandu also named Zheng Sen as the "King of Fujian", and Yongli also named the Prince of Fujian, but there are two families vying to win over Zheng Sen. However, compared with the seal of the king of Min in the southern capital, Zhu Youlang also has a Danshu iron coupon here, but it is the place where Xu Fujian is the town of the Zheng family, which is not only an imitation of the Mu family in Yunnan, but also an example of the Qing court to the king of Sanshun. When Wu Sangui raised troops from Hanzhong into Sichuan and went south, the Qing court had a proposal to choose one of the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou to belong to his domain.
Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou hoped that Zheng Sen would be crowned the queen of Fujian and form an independent force in Fujian and Zhejiang, so that the southern capital could not occupy the southeast, so that in the future, when there was really a fight between Dingwu and Yongli, Zheng Sen, the king of Fujian, could become an important force to contain the southern capital.
Wu Sangui is not worried that Zheng Sen will not be subject to the temptation of Yongli and Shizhen Fujian, but he has been dreaming of it for more than ten years, if the Qing court was willing to agree to him this condition, God knows that he Zhu Chenggong is still not the Ming Dynasty's national surname and the king of Yanping.
Hong Chengchou had a definite remark to Zheng Sen, saying that his army could not enter the river to attack the south, but it was cheaper for the thief Xiucai, and then he was a hero, and he was always unwilling. Moreover, Zheng Sen is the most self-interested, otherwise he would not have sat back and watched Li Dingguo's defeat, nor would he have waved his army to attack Hao Shangjiu, who was also an anti-Qing force, forcing Hao Shangjiu to dedicate Chaoshan to the Qing army, so that Zheng Jun could never set foot on Chaoshan again. The thief Xiucai sits in the essence of the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the Tang King is in his hands, his momentum is much stronger than Zheng Sen, if he defeats the Shunzhi army again, the prestige is really unique in the world. Therefore, Hong Chengchou concluded that even if Zheng Sen knew that he would have a stalemate with Nandu after receiving the title of Yongli, he would not hesitate to take it. In his bones, Zheng Sen is not a willing person.
Wu Sangui also agreed with this, but he did not agree to make Li Laiheng king. Hong Chengchou meant to make Li Laiheng king in the name of Yongli and at the same time sent an envoy to Huguang to persuade the loyal battalion and the Thirteen Families of Shaking Huang to establish Yongli, and if they succeeded, they would get a province of Hubei and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses out of thin air.
The power of the Loyal Battalion and the Thirteen Bandits of the Yellow Shake, Wu Sangui really can't look down on it. It sounds like there are more than 100,000 horses, but there are only more than 10,000 people who can really fight, whether it is the loyal battalion or the loess bandits, or the practice of the thieves of the year. As for the land of Hubei, he also had no intention of getting involved. Wu Sangui knew very well that he could enter Sichuan and go north after serving Yongli, but if he really wanted to put his hand into Hubei, the thief Xiucai would inevitably meet him with a short knife. He showed off his ability to give Hubei to the gang of thieves in the loyal camp, but he would not give him Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui even guessed that the thief Xiucai threw Hubei to the thieves, did he think that he Wu Sangui would have a day when he would raise troops anyway, so that Hubei would become a buffer zone between the Taiping Army and the Guanning Army. If this is the case, Wu Sangui really admires this Guangdong talent who has never met before, but listens to the majesty.
Another reason for refusing to crown Li Laiheng as king is that Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng have a big enmity, and he and the remnants of the thieves in the loyal camp also have a deep blood feud, so how can these people be willing to vote for him Wu Sangui.
Hong Chengchou laughed and persuaded Wu Sangui to relax. There are no eternal enemies and no permanent friends. Hong Chengchou thinks that although the Loyal Battalion was put into Huguang by the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army helped to occupy Wuchang, and now it is also supported by the Taiping Army, but the Loyal Battalion is not the Taiping Army after all, and Li Laiheng is not a thief Xiucai's subordinates. There is a partnership, not a affiliation, between the two, so there is no chance of differentiation. Besides, the inside of the loyal battalion is not monolithic, and Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi, He Zhen and other big cowards are not independent soldiers and horses, and they have their own banners, let alone shake the loess bandits. People's hearts are not aligned, and it is difficult to say what kind of choice each person will have under the interests. Even if the effect is not great, it is good to bury a nail, and there will always be a time when it will take effect in the future.
Hong Chengchou Dao thief Xiucai gave Li Laiheng a Xianyang county king, then he gave a prince a title, or gave Li Zicheng the country title back then, Li Laiheng couldn't help but admit it. Although Yongli couldn't resist the loyal battalion back then, after all, they had been fighting under the banner of Yongli for nearly ten years, and there would not be a single one in their camp who had a heart for Yongli. Hong Chengchou insisted on this, and Wu Sangui couldn't refute it, so he had to do what he wanted. As for him Wu Sangui, the title of the prince has already been drawn up, and he is the king of Liao.
In his early years, Wu Sangui was the chief soldier of Liaodong when he was in Chongzhen, and he was named the king of Xibo, the town guarded the Shanhaiguan, and later the king of Hanzhong and the king of Ji. After leading the Qing army into the customs, the Qing court named him the king of Pingxi, at the beginning of the year Shunzhi in order to envelop him, Jin Qi was the prince of Pingxi, and now Wu Sangui welcomes Yongli again, reviving the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang wants to pay the prince. After "deliberation", Zhu Youlang sent the imperial prince Wei Gong (one of the survivors of the cursed water disaster) to send Wu Sangui the royal seal prepared by Wu Sangui on his behalf, and read out the edict of the king before Wu Jun's civil and military affairs.
When Wu Sangui was crowned King of Liao, the Wu army in central Sichuan was progressing smoothly. Under the guidance of Gao Minzhan, Ma Bao's troops took advantage of the fact that the Qing army in Baoning and Li Guoying, the governor of Qingchuan and Shaanxi stationed in Baoning, did not know the truth about Gao Minzhan's defection. Li Guoying led the remnants of more than 100 cavalry to flee to Hanzhong and the letter king Doni to make peace.
Knowing that Wu Sangui's Guanning army had taken Baoning, and the vanguard was approaching Hanzhong, Doni ignored Li Guoying's hard dissuasion, and fled north with Luo Keduo again.
Li Guoying no longer had many generals under his command at this time, so he promoted Wang Zhiding, the former chief soldier of Baoning, as the governor of Sichuan to the Qing court, and transferred more than 2,000 people from the Ying Qi Department of the General Army of Yansui to assist in guarding Baoning. However, the escape of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry of the Doni Department made the people of Hanzhong panic, and all the generals had no intention of keeping their minds, so Li Guoying had no choice but to retreat to Xi'an with Wang Zhiding and Han Yingqi, wanting to defend Xi'an City with Xi'an General Su Bai.
