The majestic wind blew Li Zhongju and the others, and almost all the soldiers had sad expressions on their faces, and the clothes on everyone's bodies were already in tatters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Li Zhongju's army finally won the war, the price paid was very tragic.

Li Zhongju couldn't bear to see all this, and after Li Zhongju ordered the army to rest for a while, he began to clean up the battlefield while the army prepared to withdraw to the capital city of Guangxi.

A day later, all the troops that had entered Yunnan, except for the Huya commando led by Huang Feihong, had all come to the city of Guangxi.

For a time, the capital city of Guangxi became the temporary garrison city of the Zhennan army.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of December 17, 1888, a county in Zunyi Prefecture, Guizhou Province, which was in contact with Sichuan Province, was a rather poor county, and although it had undergone a series of reforms by Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, the people were only better than before.

But the people of Xunqu County, I'm afraid they don't know yet, there is an army of thousands that is slowly approaching Xunqu County. This army was obviously an elite army under the command of the governor of Sichuan, heavily armed and morale-threatening.

Half an hour later, this army finally set foot in Guizhou Province, to be precise, entered Xunqu County. Since this is an open area, and besides, the border between the two provinces is only a sign, so soon, this army broke through without any scruples.

After they entered the territory of Xunqu County, they immediately went straight to the direction of the county seat, because everyone understood that as long as they occupied the central city of a place, they could be regarded as initially occupying a place.

The people of Xunqu County looked at this army of more than 1,000 people, and their faces were full of worry, they were worried that their interests could not be guaranteed, and they were even more worried that this army would destroy their lives.

But fortunately, the worries of ordinary people, like them, will not happen in a short period of time, because this army will not take care of them at all.

A general looked at the county town in front of him, which was not a strong and tall county, with a faint sneer on his face, he turned to several generals behind him and said, "This time, the Governor has sent a total of six army troops, we must not be left behind, we must speed up the pace." ”

"It's the general." Several generals immediately replied that in their eyes, taking this small county town was as simple as drinking a glass of boiled water, and there was no difficulty.

Yes, a city wall less than five meters high, how many soldiers are guarding the city, according to the regulations of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan. In general, there will only be about 200 soldiers in the county seat, plus the various government servants and other auxiliaries in the county seat, there will be no more than 300 people.

Therefore, this Xunqu county town cannot be defended. Even if the county order and the officials in the city had the heart to defend it, they would not have the strength.

The tall general waved his whip, "Attack." ”

Crackling, hundreds of soldiers with improvised ladders, or ropes, began to climb the city walls.

It was extremely simple for the talk, because there was no one to defend the city at all, but the Xunqu County Order ordered the city gate to be closed.

At this time, the county commander of Xunqu took more than 200 soldiers, all of whom were changed into ordinary people's clothes, and mixed in the corners of the streets in the city.

This county commander knew that he couldn't do anything, so he chose to avoid splitting up for the time being, and in the end he would definitely keep this land for the king of Zhennan, and he had this confidence.

This was only one place in Guizhou Province, and in fact, six counties in Guizhou Province were raided by troops sent by the governor of Sichuan, Lei Ben, and for a time the border between Guizhou and Sichuan Province was in an emergency.

To say that only Guizhou Province has an accident, it is easy to handle.

At the same time, however, the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian were all attacked by Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Shuo, the governor of Huguang, as well as tens of thousands of troops mobilized by Prince Gong Yixin from elsewhere.

For a while, the Zhennan Wang's territory fell into a huge crisis, but at this time, Li Zhongju had not received accurate news. Even the governors of the four provinces did not receive the news, let alone Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan who was far away in Yunnan.

In a rural village in Guangdong Province, this is a fairly wealthy village, and several landlords in the village are also very good, treat the poor very well, and usually give relief to neighbors in all directions.

But today, this quiet, elegant and harmonious environment was broken by outsiders, and the soldiers of the Qing army robbed the village of a lot of food, and pulled all the livestock in the village, leaving no one behind.

Everyone dared to be angry, they only hoped that Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, could return to Guangzhou to deal with the invasion of the Qing army, and they were deeply disappointed in the Qing court.

If you want them to return to the Qing court sincerely, how is it possible, no one will be willing, but on the surface, they can only nod and agree.

Fujian Province can be said to be the most difficult, because the main forces of Prince Gong Yixin and Zeng Guoquan will attack from Fujian Province.

Prince Gong Yixin and Zeng Guoquan's plan was to take Fujian Province, after all, Fujian Province's geographical location was particularly good, which was conducive to curbing Li Zhongju's development.

At the same time, the two of them also sent a considerable part of their troops to attack from the north of Guangdong Province, and they both understood that although Li Zhongju had not been the king of Zhennan for a long time, and Li Zhongju's army was not very large, it would be difficult to attack Guangdong directly.

Therefore, they will unite the four parties and launch the most ferocious offensive against the four provinces commanded by Li Zhongju, aiming to destroy Li Zhongju and return the Qing Dynasty to rule.

Also today, Fujian and Guangdong Province were attacked by the Qing army, which was said to be an attack, but in fact it was a walk-around process, and they did not encounter a decent army at all.

In other words, they did not encounter the real army under the command of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, which made them a little arrogant for a while.

For a time, there was an emergency in various places, and at first the various prefectures received the news, and while they spread the news to the province, they immediately began to organize forces to prevent the invasion of the Qing army.

Four days later, on December 21, 1888, the governor of Guizhou Province, Li Yaoshan, finally received news of the invasion by the Qing army.

Li Yaoshan looked at a subordinate official with a pale face, "The Qing court will really find time, and it is simply unbearable to attack the territory of the King of Zhennan at this time." You immediately send the news to the prince in the form of a telegram. At the same time, General Wang Jie was informed and asked General Wang to be ready. ”

"Yes. Governor! The official's expression was very serious, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and there must be no mistakes.

Li Zhongju's mood in the past few days is very ordinary, and the mood of many soldiers is also very ordinary, and they are all wondering why they will encounter this situation on this expedition.

Li Zhongju looked at the telegram sent by Guizhou Governor Li Yaoshan in front of him, and took a deep breath in his heart. If nothing else, I'm afraid the other three provinces will also encounter this situation.

It's a mutation, a conspiracy against itself. At the same time, the imperial court abolished Li Zhongju's title and other official titles as the king of Zhennan.
