"The lord of the country and the Xifu are all outstanding people for a while, the soldiers and horses under the command of the two are the elite of my Western Army, in the past, the resistance to the Qing Dynasty was all thanks to the two kings, but now they are fighting each other, fratricidal, wasting the strength of the anti-Qing Dynasty in vain, this relative's bitter enemy is a happy thing!"

"The mark is that the army of Xifu will abandon Liangguang and go straight to Guizhou, and move out of the Son of Heaven before the lord of the country, and the lord of the country will prevent the Son of Heaven from falling into the hands of Xifu, and he will also pour a large army to crusade, once this is the case, then Hunan will be occupied by the Qing army, and the Qing army of Liangguang will no longer have any scruples, and the current situation of our army is like a small boat shuttling between the wind and waves, and there is nowhere to hide in the face of the storm and waves of the Qing army, and there is nowhere to fight, and the boat will be destroyed and killed at any time."

"Where is our army going, please make a decision as soon as possible, and if it is too late, I am afraid that there will be no way out!"

Qi Hao analyzed the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty after the infighting between Sun and Li with the perspective of being a chief military officer and his familiarity with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and also put forward his own proposition on where the Taiping army trapped in the lonely city should go. Obviously, after knowing that Li Dingguo and Sun Yaowang were fighting and that Li Dingguo's army would never make a third eastward advance, Qi Hao had no hope for the Taiping army trapped in Xinhui, otherwise he would not have euphemistically put forward the idea of breaking through and escaping.

The generals of the Taiping Army in the hall fell silent when they heard this, and they all thought about the possibility of what Qi Hao said, but most of them had gloomy faces, obviously thinking that if they really broke through, how many people in the whole army would be able to escape from the layers of encirclement of the Qing army.

Song Xianggong saw that the morale of the generals was low, and he couldn't help but say: "Why does General Qi decide that Li Dingguo will abandon Liangguang and go straight to Guizhou, and he will definitely go to grab Yongli with Sun Kewang?" He is not from the Great Western Army, if he is from the Dongxun Li Chengdong lineage, so he does not have as much respect for Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang as Qi Hao, and he called "Lord of the Country" and "Xifu" one by one, and called his name directly without any scruples.

Without waiting for Qi Hao to answer, Li Fuguo, who was demoted to the Green Camp and is now a member of the Taiping Army, said disdainfully: "The Yongli of Anlong Mansion is called the Son of Heaven, but in fact it is a puppet, at that time, the Son of Heaven still had princes, and the princes still knew that there was a Son of Heaven, but today the Son of Heaven can't order himself, is this Son of Heaven worth grabbing?" ”

That's a lot of disrespect. The Taiping army is also under the banner of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the upper and lower levels should also regard themselves as the Ming army, but after Li Fuguo's words that did not take the Son of Heaven in his eyes at all, most of the generals in the hall nodded in agreement. This made Qi Hao's brows furrow suddenly. He didn't know that this Li Fuguo was originally the head of the Green Battalion, and most of the officers of the Taiping Army in the hall were either from bandits or from the Green Battalion, and there was not a single Ming military attache who was upright.

Zhou Shixiang said lightly: "The Son of Heaven is useless, but the subordinates can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." "Pause. shook his head again and said: "Li Dingguo does not need to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but Sun Kewang is sitting on the Son of Heaven by coercion, otherwise why only let the Son of Heaven be trapped in Anlong and not take him to Guiyang, and why does he claim to be the lord of the country and never meet the Son of Heaven." Now that there is Li Dingguo, I am afraid that Sun Kewang wants to die as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Shixiang's disrespect for the Yongli Son of Heaven and Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang also made Qi Hao dissatisfied, although he was willing to live in the Taiping Army as a small general banner, but in the past he was the chief soldier of the Great Western Army, and he was canonized by the Yongli Emperor, although Li Dingguo alienated him. But after all, he is the righteous son of Emperor Daxi, the king of Anxi who was personally proclaimed by Emperor Daming; Similarly, Sun Kewang is also the righteous son of Emperor Daxi, and he is also the prince of Jin, the prince of Jin, who was personally crowned by Emperor Daming, so he has great respect for the three, even if Sun Kewang is dissatisfied with him, Li Dingguo is estranged from him, Yongli doesn't know him at all, but it doesn't affect his respect for the three. Now. The person he works for treats the person he respects in this way, and he will inevitably feel unhappy in his heart. But after all, he is old, and when he sees that none of the Taiping generals in the hall have a different color on their faces, this Taiping army is a lone army to seize Xinhui. And under the siege of the Qing army, he insisted on not surrendering, on integrity, no one in the hall had a loss, and then thought that the lord he respected was killing each other in order to compete for the Son of Heaven and Xifu, and most of the unhappiness went to the moment, and the remaining little dissatisfaction could only be pressed in the bottom of his heart. I can't show it in front of everyone.

Zhou Shixiang realized that his words had an impact on Qi Hao, so he changed his conversation and asked him: "King Anxi led his army to attack Guangdong twice, what is his intention?" As he spoke, he replaced the three characters of Li Dingguo with the honorific title of King Anxi.

Zhou Shixiang's slight change made Qi Hao's face a lot easier, he didn't think much about it, and said: "Why did Xifu lead the army to attack Guangdong, I don't know much about it, but I heard my colleagues in the army say that Xifu intends to join the Zheng clan in Xiamen and the east and west and southern Guangdong, and jointly recover Guangdong with the strength of the two armies, and then consider the matter of moving after controlling Guangdong Province." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Shixiang thought about it, the Yongli court was established in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, but because Guangdong fell into the hands of the Qing army and was stationed in Guangxi for a long time, and now it has moved to Anlong Mansion in Guizhou. In that way, Sun Kewang, who is in Guiyang and actually controls Guizhou, Yunnan, and Hunan, is beyond the reach of the Yongli court in Guangdong, and Yongli can really turn over and become a real emperor. It's just that when Zheng Chenggong will be the same as Li Dingguo, it is difficult to say, the fierce factional struggle in the Southern Ming Dynasty is not something that the world can imagine, and the emperors will sing it and I will sing it, which is more powerful than the party struggle that Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen have staged for decades in the four dynasties, and if you want to say where the Nanming Dynasty died, I am afraid that this factional struggle will account for most of it. In fact, most of Zheng Chenggong's actions in history are attributed to the ranks of warlords who support their own troops, rather than the number of loyal and righteous soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shixiang could only sigh secretly, after all, this matter has not been completed, it is useless to make more conjectures, and what matters now is what impact the domestic strife between Sun Kewang and Li Ding has on the situation in Guangdong, and how much impact it has on the Taiping army trapped in Xinhui. He said to everyone: "King Anxi's intentions are good, but it's a pity that the two attacks on Guangdong have been defeated one after another, and the original plan naturally cannot be realized. And Sun Kewang is eyeing the Son of Heaven again, Anxi can only rely on his own troops to risk breaking into Anlong and snatching the Son of Heaven and the court out of Sun Kewang's rule, so that he can call on the world in the name of the Son of Heaven. It's a pity that we, the prince of Anxi, didn't expect that his departure would be a hardship for us soldiers and horses who are still struggling to support and vow to fight to the death with the Qing army! To put it mildly, the king of Anxi is going to abandon us completely! (To be continued.) )
