Chapter 914: Are Han people inferior to dogs!
Li Guoying's new Sichuan Governor Wang Zhiding is also a general, his father Wang Shixuan was a Ming general, with the right governor, the chief military officer Ma Shilong was besieged and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty when he rescued Ma Lancheng, and then made great contributions to the Qing court, and returned to his hometown in the eighth year of Shunzhi. Wang Zhiding, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was originally the deputy commander of the Han Army's Red Banner, and was transferred to the Baoning General Army in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi as a general under Li Guoying. Li Guoying was promoted as the governor of Sichuan, Wang Zhiding was grateful, and he also wanted to kill the enemy and serve the court, but the current situation could only make him have nowhere to serve the country.
After retreating into Xi'an, the white-haired veteran general Su Bai immediately organized 5,000 horses from Xi'an, personally went to see Doni with Li Guoying, and asked General An Yuan to come forward to preside over the defense of Xi'an, and at the same time mobilize Shaanxi soldiers and horses to resist the traitor and thief Wu Sangui. Although Su Bai was old, he was still majestic and enterprising, and he asked Doni for an order, willing to lead five thousand horses to kill Hanzhong and block the Guanning rebels in Hanzhong.
The pride of the old general made Li Guoying, who had been depressed for many days, also refreshed, and begged King Xin to send troops together with Su Bai, but they didn't even see King Xin.
Aixing Ah told Doni about his illness to Subh and Lee Kwok-young. He said that King Xin was afraid that he was infected with the epidemic in Yunnan, since Guiyang returned to the west, King Xin's condition has been getting worse, all the way is full of strong support, after entering Xi'an, he can no longer support it, he can't afford to be sick, and now he is in a coma.
Li Guoying didn't expect King Xin's illness to be so serious, and he felt guilty for a while, because in this sense, he sent three urgent deliveries to the camp in Jiangbei, and he wrote many places about King Xin's behavior of fearing the enemy like a tiger. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it was precisely because of his serious illness that King Xin had to suddenly withdraw his troops from Guiyang.
King Xin was too ill to be a councilor, so Su Bai and Li Guoying could only consult with the king of Pingjun. No, when Luo Keduo heard that Su Bai was going to lead his troops to Hanzhong to block Wu Sangui's rebels, he shook his head again and again and said no.
After Su Bai and Li Guoying came out, they stomped their feet in anger and bluntly said that King Pingjun was frightened by the rebels!
Luo Keduo was indeed frightened, but it was not Wu Sangui's Guanning rebels, but the Taiping army. When he was in Guiyang, if he hadn't proposed to go, Doni was afraid that he would be able to hold on for a few days. When fleeing from the middle of the river, Luo Keduo was really loud, like a bird with a frightened bow, and when the slightest wind blew, he thought that he was ambushed by the Ming army, or that Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry was chasing. And because of Doni's illness, in fact, the actual commander of the more than 20,000 Manchu Mongolian cavalry withdrawn from Guiyang was Luo Keduo. The courage of the soldiers, the people who led the army are so courageless, it is not difficult to understand why the more than 20,000 murderous Manchurian elites would flee thousands of miles in a rout.
After Su Bai and them left, Ai Xing Ah stepped forward to persuade a few words, wanting to ask King Pingjun to take on the important task of Xi'an. Luo Keduo remained silent, and when Ai Xing Ah saw this, he had to sigh and retire.
Luo Keduo did not agree with Su Bai's attack, Doni was seriously ill, and the imperial court did not have a clear will to send Li Guoying or Su Bai to preside over the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, Su Bai had to discuss with Li Guoying in a hurry, one was responsible for the defense of Xi'an, and the other was urgently transferred to the green battalions from all over Shaanxi and Gansu to be stationed in Xi'an City. Xi'an is a big city, and there is no room for error. If Xi'an is lost, Tongguan will not be guaranteed, and the consequences will be no less than the loss of Shanhaiguan. It was precisely because of Sun Chuanting's defeat at Tongguan that the Ming Dynasty really had no place to maneuver and was completely waiting for death. The situation today is similar to that of the past.
There are eight banners of the Xi'an garrison, of which the most is a red flag, there are five Niu Lu, and the rest are one or two Niu Lu. All of them are Manchurian soldiers, but Shaanxi and Gansu have been pacified for many years, and there has been no war for a long time, and there are sporadic rebellions that are mostly cleared by the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion. Therefore, in the early years, the elite soldiers and horses in Xi'an Mancheng had long been transferred to other battlefields, and the rest were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. Many of the children were born in Mancheng, the oldest was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and there were only more than 1,700 people who could really put on armor and go into battle. Fortunately, there are more than 20,000 Manchurian elites brought by King Xin in the city, in addition to the 4,000 Han troops and battalions brought back by Li Guoying from Hanzhong, plus the battalions that are about to be stationed in Xi'an, it is conservatively estimated that after Wu Sangui's rebels came, there were no less than 40,000 cavalry in the city. Moreover, Shaanxi and Gansu have produced elite soldiers since ancient times, and their combat power is not weaker than that of the Wu rebels.
Su Bai and Li Guoying are still very confident in holding Xi'an, after all, Wu Sangui's rebels came out of Yungui, a long march, a long grain road, Yungui is a barren land, and Sichuanzhong is even more rarely populated, only the Han side has supplements, but it is almost impossible to maintain the offensive of the Wu army on Xi'an purely by Hanzhong. Therefore, Su Bai and Li Guoying firmly believe that as long as they hold on for more than a month, Wu Sangui will have to retreat without a fight, and then re-block the front line of Baoning and Hanzhong.
But what Su Bai and Li Guoying never expected was that Wu Sangui's army had not yet arrived in the city, and the rear was in chaos. The bad news came one after another, first Zhao Liangdong led the troops to rebel and killed the Gansu general Guo De to respond to Wu Sangui's rebels, and then Sun Sike, the leader of the Han army, also responded with troops. All of a sudden, except for Xi'an, Shaanxi and Gansu were in turmoil.
It's really a melon to get a melon, and a bean to get a bean. The rebellion of Zhao Liangdong and Sun Sike was entirely caused by Doni and Rocodor.
Last year, Zhao Liangdong went south to Yunnan and Guizhou with Hong Chengchou, and was awarded the deputy general of the Chinese army, and when he entered Yunnan, he dared to fight and made a lot of military achievements, Hong Chengchou wanted to promote him as the governor of Guizhou, who had thought that Zhao Liangdong was not good at dealing with people by nature, and his temperament was quite upright, and he offended many Manchurian and Han generals in the army, and was sued to Doni where. As soon as Doni heard that a Han general dared not to take the Manchurian children in his eyes, he was furious and dismissed him from his post as the deputy general of the Chinese army.
The good ones were robbed of their military positions by King Xin, and Zhao Liangdong packed up his package and returned to his hometown in Gansu in a fit of anger. Hong Chengchou regretted this situation after learning about it, but he couldn't catch up with anyone, so he had to write a handwritten letter to Li Guoying, asking him to find an official position for Zhao Liangdong in Gansu Green Camp. Li Guoying also gave face, and arranged Zhao Liangdong to be a general under Guo De, the general soldier of Gansu, but this Zhao De was a person who could not tolerate people. Zhao Liangdong has great material, very capable, only ten years after he arrived, he won the respect of the generals in the army, Guo De was angry when he saw it, so he often used excuses to give Zhao Liangdong small shoes to wear, and privately called Zhao Liangdong only said that beard.
Zhao Liangdong did a nest under Guo De, and no one took care of him above, so he was ready to take off this green camp uniform again and go home to farm, but at this time, Hong Chengchou sent someone to find him. As a result, the unwilling Zhao Liangdong became the first person in the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp to echo Wu Sangui under the arrangement of Doni's mistake.
Sun Sike did not have the experience of encountering Zhao Liangdong, he was born in the Han military banner, and he was more valued by the Qing court than Zhao Liangdong, a green battalion general. With Hong Chengchou through Huguang and Yungui, Sun Sike also made a meritorious contribution to the battle, and if there was no mistake, he would definitely be able to serve as the general soldier of one side. When Doni went north from Yunnan to Guiyang, Sun Sike also led more than 1,000 Han troops to follow, and then entered Sichuan with Manchu and Mongolian soldiers and horses. The reason that prompted Sun Sike to respond to Wu Sangui's rebellion was not that Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to him, but because he witnessed how the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers ate the people of central Sichuan and the soldiers of the Green Battalion as food.
"Are Han people inferior to dogs!"
After learning that Zhao Liangdong had raised troops, Sun Sike summoned his officers and said this sentence to them. Then, the more than 1,000 Han troops wrenched their braids, captured the city, and set up the banner of restoring their sight. (To be continued.) )
