Another half a year has passed, and the Fujian Mawei Army has completely implemented its temporary defensive strategy, and the provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and the southern provinces of Jiangxi and the southern part of Zhejiang have not moved, which can be said to be honest. All the places bordering the territory of the Wu army, the Qing army, and the Zheng army were all heavily guarded, and even the city gates in that direction were rarely opened. The most heavily defended places were Ji'an Mansion in the north of Jiangxi, Fuzhou Mansion and the southern part of Raozhou Mansion, and the Qing army and Wu Sangui did not come to trouble the Mawei Army.

The Qing army actually wanted to find trouble with the Mawei army, but they can be said to have completely lost a province in Jiangxi, although they still occupy the last place, which is Jiujiang Mansion in the northernmost part of Jiangxi, but it is already negligible for the entire province of Jiangxi. The Wu army occupied several provinces in the north of Jiangxi, and was originally ready to continue to march east to the south of the Yangtze River, but it did not continue because of excessive losses, but left some military horses to hold on, and continued to attack Jiujiang Province. He wanted to take down the Jiujiang Prefecture to control the Yangtze River shipping and cut off the supply of Jiangsu, Anhui and other Qing army fronts to Wuhan, Jingzhou, Yueyang, etc.

After the city of Nanchang was captured by Zhang Guozhu of the Wu army, the Dingnan general Hilgen did not retreat and died on the spot, while Rabu withdrew from Nanchang with more than half of the Qing army and retreated to Nankangfu. Although Zhang Guozhu added red-coated cannons in his hands, he was powerless in pursuit, and the Qing army had a lot of cavalry, and the Wu army was not able to defeat and then destroy the Qing army retreating from Nanchang. After the retreat of Rabu, the battle and retreat, after losing the Nanchang Mansion and the Nankang Mansion one after another, the reinforcements of the Qing army from Wuhan also arrived. Let's stick to Jiujiang Mansion again. Qing reinforcements also brought twenty red-coated cannons. and other miscellaneous guns. Therefore, Zhang Guozhu did not rashly attack after attacking Jiujiang Mansion once without success.

Rabu and Zhang Guozhu led the Qing army and the Wu army to fight each other, attacking and defending each other, and Cheng Dù was almost no less than the battle on Yueyang's side. The main forces of the Qing army and the Wu army have not yet had a head-on collision, but both sides seem to be accumulating strength, and when the two armies devote all their forces to the battle, the battle will be dark. But the date seems near, but it seems to be far away, and so far there is no appearance of a major war. It's just that in local battles like Jiangxi, Xi'an, and several places in northern Zhejiang, a big battle is at most a loss of 10,000 people, and usually 3,000 or 2,000 people are killed or wounded.

It is impossible for Fujian's wanton recruitment to hide from Wu Sangui and the eyes and ears of the Qing court, if Geng Jingzhong completes the training of these 100,000 newly recruited soldiers, then he really has the capital to compete with the two of them. But at this moment, the two of them are holding each other back, and the Qing army has also lost the city directly facing the Mawei army, and the Qing army just wants to attack Fujian, and it is beyond the reach of attacking the Mawei army. On Wu Sangui's side, his biggest enemy was the Qing court. and Geng Jingzhong are not enemies, at least nominally in the same camp. Those who are honored are all Ming families, even if they want to deal with the Mawei Army, it is not at this time, but Wu Sangui still has an expectation, that is, he hopes that Geng Jingzhong can send troops to help him destroy the Qing army together.

Although the external conditions of the Mawei Army were relatively stable at this time, heavy troops were also deployed in Ji'an, Fuzhou and the southern part of Raozhou in Jiangxi, and within the three prefectures, a lot of general artillery was arranged in each prefecture and county, plus the cannons laid in special dangerous passes, more than 600 guns were arranged in the three prefectures of Jiangxi, and 6,000 of the entire 8,000-man artillery division were piled up in the boundaries of these three prefectures. Several divisions of the army are also stepping up training their own artillery battalions, but each division is only equipped with two battalions, with a total of less than 100 guns.

As for the northern region of Zhejiang, Zheng Jing and Geng Jingzhong have an agreement, and Geng Jingzhong does not want to tear up this agreement for the time being. Tens of thousands of Zheng troops fought to the death with the Qing army, and the Mawei army did not need to deploy many troops to prevent the Zheng army from turning around and attacking them. As for Guangdong, although Guangdong and Guangxi are at the junction, Guangxi is also very chaotic at the moment, Sun Yanling's own ability is too poor, and he can't control Guangxi's army at all, so it took a lot of effort to use the fame of his wife Kong Sizhen to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Since Sun Yanling killed Wang Yongnian, a general and local official who was usually at odds with him, and also claimed to be the king of Anyuan of the Ming Dynasty, he always owed his salaries, which made many of his soldiers dissatisfied. Just half a year ago, the Guangxi army launched a mutiny, and the officers and soldiers of various ministries supported Kong Youde's late subordinate general Lian Guoan's son as the leader. However, this young man has the ability to do it, but he is too strict in governing the army, and he is added to military law at every turn, so it makes the soldiers in Guangxi mutinier and re-establish Sun Yanling.

When this young man was in power, he searched for Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen everywhere, but after all, the two still had some henchmen, who escaped with the help of their henchmen and hid in ordinary residents' homes. There is also a funny thing in this, when Sun Yanling was afraid and didn't dare to go out of the house, his wife Kong Sizhen said to him: "Going out is a death, and not going out is still a death, rather than dying, it is better to raise your head and face it directly." ”

So Kong Sizhen hid Sun Yanling elsewhere and came out to face these soldiers by himself. Guangxi's soldiers and horses are all his father Kong Youde's old department, Kong Youde's prestige is extremely high, Kong Sizhen is Kong Youde's only daughter, and these Guangxi soldiers are not here to trouble their husband and wife, so they took the initiative to kneel down to express their support. In this way, Kong Sizhen knew that there was no danger, so he asked Sun Yanling to come out. In the process of returning home, Sun Yanling did not dare to take the car back to the house, but only let Kong Sizhen sit, and he walked with the car.

After returning to the house, Sun Yanling finally understood how incompetent he was, and also understood that the reason why he could continue to survive and continue to control the army was all because of Kong Sizhen. The soldiers under his command respected Kong Sizhen because of the virtue of Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, and then gave him face, so they didn't have trouble with Kong Sizhen anymore, and they no longer wanted to control the whole army, so they let Kong Sizhen hold the power to manage a qiē affair, and he himself was hungry as an idler. In fact, in the past two or three months, idlers are not counted, just helping Kong Sizhen to deal with things together, and the relationship between the two has warmed up a lot. The two of them beat the drum every day to deal with military affairs, and for a time it was Jiangjiangxi that was well managed, making the sergeants below.

Kong Sizhen herself was influenced by his father, and she was still raised by Xiaozhuang, so she was loyal to the Qing court, and after taking charge of the military, she immediately wrote a secret letter to order her cronies to be sent to the capital, on the one hand, she showed that she had always thought of the Empress Dowager's Longen since she left Beijing, and as Kong Youde's daughter, she did not hesitate to do anything for the sake of the imperial court, but only asked the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to pardon Sun Yanling. On the other hand, she also handed over to Fu Honglie the written order for the subordinates of King Dingnan to cooperate with the imperial court to fight the rebels. Kong Sizhen had already prepared for the worst, Wu Sangui would never spare them if he got the news of Sun Yanling's rebellion, and once something happened to him, Fu Honglie would command this army.

Although this letter was still on the way, no one noticed that Kong Sizhen's cronies had entered Anhui in disguise at this moment, and when they arrived here, the cronies rushed to the capital without any scruples. It is estimated that Kangxi should be happy to get this secret letter, Guangxi is a province, and it is next to Wu Sangui's lair, which can cause great chaos to Wu Sangui in the rear, which can directly threaten Yunnan, although it will definitely not be able to take Yunnan, but who doesn't understand the allusion to save Zhao from Wei Wei? Wu Sangui's army was fighting with the main force of the Qing army in Hunan, and when he suddenly heard that the nest was attacked, you can imagine what Wu Sangui's expression should be!

Although Guangxi is a little chaotic, it has not really been chaotic after all, and even if Guangxi is in chaos, Guangxi's soldiers and horses will not directly attack the Mawei Army in Guangdong and Fujian, and the biggest possibility is to wave the army west to fight Yunnan. At this time, in the south of Yunnan, near the junction of Guangxi, Fu Honglie had already raised his troops. Speaking of Fu Honglie, he is also a character, when he was in Shunzhi, he was recommended by the governor Wang Guoguang, and then he was awarded the Tongzhi of Shaozhou, moved to the prefect of Qingyang, Gansu, and then went to Qingyang to serve as the prefect, Fu Honglie was an official in Qingyang for several years, with outstanding political achievements, and was promoted by the Qing court to the general of the barbarian and the governor of Guangxi. After taking office in Guangxi, he adopted the strategy of suppressing and appeasing the bandits, resolving ethnic contradictions, and enabling the people of all nationalities in Guangxi to live and work in peace and contentment. In this regard, it is not worse than Shang Kexi in Guangdong, but he can't compare with Shang Kexi, there are not many soldiers in his hands, and they don't belong to him.

After Wu Sangui's formal rebellion, Sun Yanling and Admiral Ma Xiong quickly raised troops in Guangxi to respond, Fu Honglie wanted to gather troops and horses to quell the rebellion in Guangxi, but the strength was too weak, so he accepted the pseudonymous position granted by Wu Sangui in name, and then took the initiative to Sizhou, Sicheng, Guangnan, Fuchuan Zhutusi, and near the junction of Jiaoluan, recruited the righteous army and got 5,000 men and horses.

And just when he was about to lead his army north to attack the Guangxi Prefectures, news came from Guilin that Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen were back in power. A few days later, he received a secret letter from Kong Sizhen, the content of which was that Kong Sizhen was ready to respond to him anyway, and the letter also indicated that she had already put a watch on the Qing court, and as soon as the Qing court's will arrived, he immediately raised troops. In this way, although Fu Honglie was suspicious, he also stopped the pace of going north, and did not go to the city of the Punch Department to control zhì, but turned around and headed towards Yunnan, anyway, he was at the junction of the two provinces, and it was almost the same to go there.
