There is a historical text in this chapter, but it is not ordered!

Kunming, still immersed in the Jin king's defeat of Sun Kewang in the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang on March 1 connected to several murderous letters, the Qing court's three-way army attacked Guizhou from Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi at the same time, Guiyang has been occupied by the Qing army, the three-way Qing army will march into Qianxi at any time into Yunnan and attack Kunming.

In the direction of Sichuan, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan have captured Chongqing. On 25 March, Wu Sangui's army marched to Shitai Pass in Tongzi County, Guizhou. Shitaiguan mountain high road narrow, the upper is the Mo in the nine days, the lower is falling in the abyss, this pass can be said to be a man alone, ten thousand people do not open. On the 30th, Wu Sangui's army occupied Zunyi, and the guard general Guo Li Ai led more than 5,000 soldiers to surrender. After occupying Zunyi, Wu Sangui sent Li Guohan to continue to lead his troops south, passing through Xifeng and Zazuo to Guiyang to join forces with Luo Tuo, the general of Nanjingkou in Nanning. Li Guohan defeated the Ming general Yang Wubu in Kaizhou. Wu Sangui rested his troops and horses on the side of Zunyi, recruited Guizhou officials in the south, and Shuixi Xuanwei Si Ankun, Xiyang Xuanwei Si Ran Qiqiao, Xingning Bo Wang Xing and others surrendered one after another.

The Qing army in Guangxi, which was moving south, entered Guizhou immediately after joining forces with Xian Guoan and others, captured Dushan and Duyun, and occupied most of the prefectures and counties east of Guiyang. In order to deal with the crisis in Guizhou, the Yongli Imperial Court gave Tusi Luo Dashun the governor of the official capital, asked him to lead the troops to recover Qingping, Xintianwei, and ordered the general soldier Zhang Xianbi to counterattack Guiyang, but they were all repelled by the Qing army due to weak troops.

The Qing army on the central route of Hunan, under the leadership of Luo Tuo, the general of Jingkou in Ningnan, broke through the defense line of the Southern Ming army without much effort, and occupied Guiyang on the 29th. Leng Meng, the governor of Anshun in the Southern Ming Dynasty, died in battle.

The Qing army's three-way army went south at the same time, but the Ming army was defeated and retreated one after another, and was lured by Sun Kewang to surrender. The Southern Ming army surrendered to the Ming army in formation, with almost no resistance. The defense lines of Xiangxi, Sichuan, and Guangxi, which had long been held against the Qing army, quickly collapsed.

However, when the situation in Guizhou collapsed, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin who defeated Sun Kewang in Qujing, did not respond in time, and even did not make deployment arrangements when the Qing army marched south in February, but instead pacified Sun Kewang's meritorious generals in Kunming.

Bai Wenxuan was named the king of Gongchang by Gongguo Gongjin, Ma Jinzhong was named the king of Hanyang by the Duke of E, Feng Shuangli was named the king of Qingyang by Xingguo Hou Jin, Ma Bao was named Huaiguo Duke by Anding Bojin, Ma Weixing was named Xuguo Duke by Xingshan Bojin, Jin Tongwu was named Pingyang Marquis from Pingyang Bojin, Qi Sansheng was named Xianning Marquis from Weining Bojin, Gao Wengui was named Guangchang Marquis from Guangchang Bojin, and the rest of the meritorious towns were also rewarded respectively.

Sun Kewang's subordinate generals Di Sanpin, Wang Hui, Zhang Guangcui and others were demoted by Li Dingguo on the charge of being attached to the party. Wang Ziqi, Zhang Mingzhi, and Guan Youcai, who were stationed in Chuxiong and Yongchang, once accepted Sun Kewang's secret order and prepared to invade Kunming in the east. After the defeat of Sun Kewang. Li Dingguo did not pardon and appease them, in order to quickly stabilize the situation, but personally led his army to attack the west. The battle captured Guan was talented, Zhang Mingzhi was lowered, Wang Ziqi was defeated and Tengyue, and he was poor and self-defeating.

After Li Dingguo returned to Kunming with a great victory. Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, was awarded Sun Kewang's general, Zhang Hu, in Shuixi. Ordered people to send to the provincial capital, and Li Dingguo ordered Zhang Hu to be cut alive with Guan Youcai, which made Sun Kewang's old department very dissatisfied with the King of Jin, and the people's hearts became more and more scattered.

The King of Jin liquidated Sun Kewang's generals, but Emperor Yongli supported it, but he did not expect that Li Dingguo would be suspicious of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, while purging Sun Kewang's generals.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu both enjoyed high prestige in the former Great Western Army, and the two stood alone many times after Lianming resisted the Qing Dynasty. Commanded major battles, and also joined forces to welcome Yongli's entry into Yunnan and pacify Sun Kewang's rebellion. Count it up. Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, was not as good as Li Dingguo's military exploits, but in stabilizing the situation and appeasing people's hearts, Liu Wenxiu did more than Li Dingguo.

After the Battle of Jiaoshui, Liu Wenxiu led his troops to hunt down Sun Kewang, and at the same time took on the important task of stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, so as not to prevent the Qing army from taking the opportunity to move south. Although Sun Kewang was not captured, Liu Wenxiu appeased more than 30,000 soldiers under Sun Kewang in time and stabilized the situation in Guizhou.

After stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, Liu Wenxiu asked Emperor Yongli to move to Guiyang, which could better stabilize the situation and reflect the enterprising spirit of the imperial court, shocking the Qing army from daring to act rashly. Yongli agreed to this suggestion and ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious date. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, was very dissatisfied when he learned the news when he entered Wang Ziqi, who was entrenched in Yongchang, and reported his illness to coerce Yongli to give up and move to Guiyang. Yongli couldn't resist Li Dingguo, and he couldn't do without Li Dingguo, so he had to send someone to write a letter to comfort him, and agreed to Li Dingguo's request, and transferred all the subordinates of Sun Kewang who guarded the towns of Sichuan, Chu and the border back to Yunnan, and finally asked Emperor Yongli to recall Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, as a result, the front-line army lost its unified command, and the people's hearts were immediately unstable.

After Li Dingguo returned to Kunming, he did not immediately arrange for the deployment of the Qing army in Guizhou, but engaged in Jin and Qin soldiers, and adopted a discriminatory policy against Sun Kewang's subordinate troops, which made these troops very disappointed in the imperial court and the king of Jin.

After Liu Wenxiu was recalled to Kunming, Emperor Yongli should have been comforted, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Sun Kewang how he escaped?

Liu Wenxiu replied: "When Sun Kewang was defeated at that time, he didn't expect him to take a small road. The ministers led many soldiers and pursued them only from the main road. When Panjiang asked carefully, he put the bridge soldier cloud: It has never been from here. Knowing that he ran away from the small road, he had to still chase down the road, and it was expected that there would be less than 100 people immediately, and there would be horses everywhere that would be changed. Overnight. The minister only chases one stop a day, so he can't catch up. When the minister arrived in Guizhou, Feng Shuangliyun had been gone for four days. That is, if you send troops to chase it again, it is out of reach, and you can hope to get rid of it. ”

Yongli was silent for a long time before saying, "If you can't catch him, you shouldn't chase him on the same day." If you can't chase it now, you will be able to go elsewhere for the backlash, and I am afraid that the disaster in southern Yunnan will not be far away. ”

Liu Wenxiu knew that he was inferior to Li Dingguo in Yongli's heart, and the Son of Heaven couldn't listen to his opinion, so he was very depressed in his heart, and said to people in private: "If you retreat from the wolf and enter the tiger, the king of Jin will lose the country." ”

After being deprived of military power, Liu Wenxiu became more and more passive, and the big dynasty and the Japanese side went up, often never going away, and did not leave the house for a single step, only handing over all the affairs of the soldiers and horses to the guard Chen Jian. Soon became bedridden, and both Yongli and Li Dingguo visited him. was repeatedly relieved and sent a doctor for treatment, but Liu Wenxiu had heart disease. There is no cure.

When Liu Wenxiu was ill, Wu Sangui was stationed in Zunyi, Luo Tuo was stationed in Guiyang, and Zhao Butai was stationed in Dushan and Duyun.

The situation deteriorated in a straight line, leaving Yongli at a loss. He cried to the queen and the queen, and the palace people were so frightened that they didn't dare to enter, and the county lord Zhu Shuyi didn't dare to go in. But I vaguely heard my nephew emperor say there: "I'm afraid there is no hope for the Ming Dynasty." ”

The nephew emperor's gaffe made the county lord of Changle feel uneasy, she thought of the scene in Guangzhou ten years ago, and immediately felt as if she was like a dangerous boat in the vast sea, as long as a wave hit. Immediately it will fall and perish.

in the inner sanctum. Zhu Youlang closed his lips tightly, his face was blue, and a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at his feet motionlessly, he seemed to feel his fate dimly, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. He looked at the flickering candle flame next to the imperial case, and suddenly had a thought: Will he be like this candle flame that is about to burn out and is about to be extinguished? Thinking of this, he walked around uneasily. The candlelight casts his swaying figure back and forth on the golden walls of peeling patent leather. When the queen on one side saw her husband like this, she was also sad. Somehow, the situation became so corrupt all of a sudden, and I just hoped that the King of Jin, who had led his army north to Guizhou, could show his courage again and keep the Ming Dynasty from leaving her and her husband again.

At this time, Li Dingguo, who was hundreds of miles away, was also as anxious as Yongli and couldn't sleep all night. He had led his army to Heishidu, Guizhou, to meet the Qing army of Wu Sangui's army, but the Qing army had inflicted heavy losses on Li Dingguo's army.

In the first battle of Heishidu, Wu Sangui's army won a great victory, Li Dingguo lost nearly 10,000 people, his general Liu Tai was killed in battle, and Wu Sangui's army also lost more than 4,000 people. After losing the first battle, Li Dingguo Xingye led his troops to retreat to Qixing Pass.

Wu Sangui won the first battle, and his arrogance became even more arrogant, in order to rob the first merit of destroying the country, he ordered the army to kill the Qixing Pass immediately. The dust stirred up by tens of thousands of Qing troops was like a yellow fog covering the sky, covering the green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds.

Wu Sangui, who was full of ambition, whipped hard and stepped down the shiny black horse, and the horse rushed forward like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, King Pingxi rushed to the front of the Qing army, so that all the Qing troops could see the figure of the commander.

Under the leadership of Wu Sangui, the cavalry of the Qing army let go of the horse's hooves, and the infantry spread their legs and rushed forward desperately. The twilight is vast, the mountains are pale, and the mountains of Qixingguan are gradually shrouded in night, turning into a dark patch.

For two days in a row, a steady stream of Qing troops, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded the Qixing Pass like an iron bucket. The soldiers are like ants during the day, and the bonfires are candlelit at night.

Late at night on April 13, the Qing army, which had fought several bloody battles, was exhausted, and they lit bonfires all over the mountain to rest and recuperate. The bonfires on the mountains on all sides illuminate the dangerous mountains near the Seven Star Pass as if it were day.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, wore a black satin cloak, like a stone sculpture, and stood motionless on the wall tower of Qixingguan. Although the Qing army's attacks were repulsed again and again, the Qing army was numerous, and he was trapped in a lonely pass, how could it be protracted?

Looking at the Qing army that was full of lights all over the mountains and fields, Li Dingguo's heart was like pressing a boulder that could not be lifted. If the Qixing Pass is lost again, the Qing army will drive the chairman straight into Yunnan, and Kunming may not be able to hold it!

At this time, Li Dingguo had already regretted in his heart, regretting that he should not have missed the fighter, regretting that he should not have transferred the front-line generals back, and regretting that he should not recall the king of Shu, which caused the situation in Guizhou to collapse in a short time. Regret is useless, all he can do is fight to the end.

After dawn, there was another big battle, until dusk, although the Ming army was brave and undiminished, but the grain and grass in the camp, the wood, arrows, and rolling stones were all about to be used up. Taking advantage of the interval in the battle, the Ming army was rushing to repair the collapsed battlements and walled walls in the south. Li Dingguo also led his troops to inspect, and suddenly a personal soldier ran up and shouted: "Lord Wang! The Tartars are up again! ”

With this shout, Li Dingguo looked up, and sure enough, the Qing army under the gate took advantage of the night to shout and swarm, and the black oppression covered the sky and the ground.

Did Wu Sangui really deceive this king like this, did he really think that this king was easy to deal with!

An irrepressible anger rushed straight to the top of Li Dingguo's head, and he looked back at the pro-soldier who shouted just now and shouted: "This is not the first time, the enemy soldier has not become three heads and six arms, why are you panicking!" ”

As he spoke, he shouted at the slightly nervous soldiers around him: "What are you seeing, it's not singing!" The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding! Prepare all the arrows and stones, and when the Qing army rushes up, they will shoot and smash them for me! ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo pulled out the knife. Seeing that the commander had no fear, the soldiers all felt bold and strong, and occupied the sides of the battlements, some with arrows and aims, and some lifted stones and erected logs. One by one, they clenched their teeth, and a ridged muscle bulged out on their cheeks, waiting for the Qing army to approach.

This attack of the Qing army was the largest number of troops since the offensive, and it was Wu Sangui's general Hu Guozhu who supervised the formation.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Li Dingguo drew his sword and roared. As soon as the military order was issued, the wood, rolling stones, ash bottles, and arrows on the city wall poured down like a torrential rain. Among the Qing army, there were bursts of mourning, and more than half of the front team fell under the rain of wood and stone arrows, but before the Ming army could put the arrows on again, the Qing army in the back row of the stones was unscrupulous and rushed to the pass, and the ladder was set up in an instant.

Li Dingguo was in a hurry, threw off the cloak on his body, and regardless of the obstruction of the soldiers around him, he also rushed to a cloud ladder with shouting, and in an instant, the cloud ladder was overturned. The soldiers behind him saw that King Jin was in danger and followed closely. These Qing soldiers who rushed to the pass had not yet stood firm, and were killed by a whirlwind of the Ming army, and they fell down screaming. At this time, the reinforcements came up, the ladders of the Qing army were overthrown, and the Qing soldiers who rushed to the city wall were outnumbered and cut down the city wall one after another.

The Qing army's attack lasted more than an hour and was finally repulsed, but many of the Ming army also fell in pools of blood.

In the middle of the night, Li Dingguo lay in a recliner moved by his own soldiers, and looked at the mountains and fields outside the pass by the moonlight. The Qing army was strong and strong, and the strength was several times that of his own, Li Dingguo frowned, knowing that this Seven Star Pass could not be defended any longer.

On April 16, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, returned to Yunnan from Qixingguan in Guizhou, and the entire territory of Guizhou was occupied by the Qing army. After learning of Li Dingguo's withdrawal, Doni, who was still watching in Hunan, immediately led a large army into Guizhou. (To be continued.) )
