Looking at the swarthy Liuzhou City in the distance, He Qian, the general soldier of Guangxi, who had just been promoted to the general of Yipin Pingman, showed a trace of anxiety in his eyes, although the Zheng army that entered Guizhou was victorious, but in the face of the Guangxi Qing army with a steady stream of support from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, he knew that he would be overturned by a difficult opponent if he was not careful.

Speaking of which, this is also because there are too few Zheng Jun veterans in He Qian's hands.

At the beginning, in the direction of Guangdong and Nanzhili, the Zheng army each had eight main infantry divisions, but unlike the main force of the northern front, the Zheng army in Guangdong was divided into two directions from the beginning, Zhaoqing and Shaoguan, in order to cope with the offensive of Sange, the governor of southern Qinghu, the number of the main divisions of the Zheng army on the Zhaoqing and Guidong lines was reduced to only two.

After that, taking advantage of the momentum of the main force of the Zheng army's northern front to conquer Jinling, Changzhou, and Suzhou and then sweep the south of the Yangtze River, the Zheng army in Guangdong also began to divide its troops into three routes, marching to Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou respectively. Although the march was quite smooth, in this way, the main division, which was originally small, became more and more scattered. In addition to the Zuohu Guard Division, which stayed behind in Guangdong to deter the provincial border and presided over the expansion of the new army, the main forces of the Zheng army in Guizhou were still the two during the defense of the Xijiang River, as well as the other 6,000 recruits who had seen blood on both sides of the Xijiang River and the Qing army brigade several times in Guangdong Province and the new annexed army anyway. Although it is said that Wuzhou, the gateway of Guizhou Province, and the provincial capital of Guilin, it is almost used to hit the city of Liuzhou, and as for the seven or eight thousand recruits newly recruited after entering Guizhou, it is still unbearable to maintain the place, let alone take the fortified city in front of him for He Qian's worries.

Not to mention that He Qian, who was outside the city, was uncertain, but Xiao Yongzao, the governor of Qing Guangxi in Liuzhou City, was anxious at the moment.

Speaking of the Han army, the white flag of the governor of Xiao Da is the kind of hardcore traitor who has been a slave for generations in the official documents of the Ming and Zheng dynasties, and there is only one way to go through the stubborn resistance, but the stubborn resistance also has the capital of stubborn resistance, since the fall of Jiangning, the death of Kangxi, the succession of Yinren and a series of news that shook the hearts of the army and the people, the anti-Qing forces in Guangxi suddenly flourished, which not only involved a lot of his energy, but also made some remote prefectures and counties hesitate between Zheng and Qing. Although Kangxi later set things right, it is already an ironclad fact that Wuzhou and Guilin were lost one after another, and it was not because Guizhou Governor Xu Zhidu led the main force of the green battalions of the three towns of Anyi, Guzhou, and Zhenyuan and raised the third battalion to arrive in time, and he, the governor of Guangxi, may have to go to Si'en, Qingyuan and other biased places to continue to perform the duty of defending the territory.

However, although the guest army saved a momentary emergency, the reward of silver made Xiao Yongzao toss and turn, you must know that Guangxi in the early Qing Dynasty was originally a province receiving aid, and the silver collected by itself every year could not even support the province, not to mention that now the most elite Guilin, Pingle, Wuzhou and other places have fallen into the hands of Zheng Jun.

In addition to the food and salary of Xu Zhidu's 6,000 reinforcements that kept Xiao Futai awake at night, the lack of ordnance and firearms in Liuzhou City also worried people. The mountains and rivers in this place of Guangxi are not conducive to road traffic, and there are only a few Hongyi cannons in the province, and most of them were left by the expeditionary force when the three feudatories were pacified, and now they are either lost under the city of Zhaoqing or sent to the Zheng army together with the two important prefectures of Guilin and Wuzhou, so that there are only a few artillery pieces in the city of Liuzhou that are decorated with the former Ming Zhengde and Jiajing periods, and it is impossible to resist the artillery fire of the Zheng army in any case.

Originally, Xiao Yongzao also hoped that Xu Zhi could help bring a few decent ones, but Guizhou was even poorer, and the Admiral who had the idea of eating Guangxi didn't even bring much ammunition with the bird gunner. As for the reinforcements from Yunnan, although they are not lip service, it is an indisputable fact that the roads in Guangxi are not good, and the people with heavy weapons are still staggering along the Youjiang Road.

Of course, if there is no artillery, you can also use the bird gun, the number of bird guns is not much, and there are also gunpowder arrows and other ordnance such as fire dragon water, 10,000 steps back and said, unarmed is not there a heavenly spirit cover. But what worries Lord Fuyuan is that the military discipline of the guest army is also a big trouble, just in the past few days, the two armies of Guiqian in Liuzhou City have fought three or four times, if it weren't for the current enemy outside the city, the two teams of their own people might have done it first.

"My lord, Lord Futai." Xiao Yongzao was tossing and turning on the bed, and the sound of the most trusted Wu Patrol came from outside the bedroom, Xiao Yongzao was excited, thinking that something was wrong, he immediately got up and put on his clothes and pushed the door out, only to see Wu Xunzhu standing there, Xiao Yongzao still didn't know why, and the Wu Xunzhu with a happy face said in his ear. "I just received a report from the palace that the imperial court has become the governor of Liangguang, and the messenger is already on the way."

"Governor of Liangguang?" Xiao Yongzao smiled bitterly, of course he understood that the news from Beijing was lagging behind, and he estimated that he didn't know that he had lost Guilin now, otherwise it would be the envoy who punished the crime instead of the canonized envoy. "What's gratifying about this news, the key now is the soldiers and salaries, without these two, it won't matter if I have a king with a different surname."

"I'm about to return to my lordship." Wu Xunzhu said with a strange expression. "The big family of Rong County, the Deng family, ruined his family and set up a group, and he is willing to serve the imperial court with 3,000 stones, and beg the adults to give him a four-grade future." Donations were commonplace in the Qing Dynasty, as early as the pacification of the three feudatories, because the treasury was insufficient to sell * officials to the people of the world, it is said that at that time more than 500 state and county officials were sold at once, as for the above there are many. "If the adults can reward a real shortage, they can repay another four thousand taels afterwards."

"Three thousand stone of white rice, four thousand taels of silver." Xiao Yongzao's face was happy, these things are really coming, and they can solve his big trouble, but the Qing Dynasty's own system of donating officials, the person in charge is mainly the ministry, and the local government is not allowed to interfere without authorization, which makes him quite embarrassed, but after thinking for a while, he still gritted his teeth and nodded. "The official agreed to this matter, and asked the family to choose a son to be the official's friend (note: curtain friend), as long as they keep Liuzhou City, needless to say, the false title of the fourth grade, it is a real job, and the official can also give it." Wu Xunyu, who had completed the intermediary and earned the intermediary fee, turned around happily and wanted to leave, but Xiao Yongzao immediately stopped him: "Slow, let the kitchen cook a bowl of wontons for the old man."

Not to mention that Xiao Yongzao's appetite was great after solving the big problem in his heart, He Qian, who was outside the city, also waited for good news at night: "A total of twenty newly cast three-inch cannons and three thousand recruits have arrived in Guilin, and they will arrive at the city of Liuzhou in the near future." ”

Although 3,000 people are not many, because the status of Hunan and Huguang in the operational planning of the General Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is much higher than that of Guangxi, it can be said that these 20 divisional artillery pieces can be said to be the largest reinforcement He Qian received after he invaded Guangxi.

For this reason, He Qian nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time asked a civil official beside him, "What is the progress on the side of the Ministry Division?" ”

"Zhang Kaiying, the governor of Zhili Prefecture of Yulin (Yulin), and the magistrates of the four counties of Bobai, Beiliu, 6 Sichuan and Xingye have agreed to protect the territory." Although he had the name of the Ministry of War, the civilian officials were actually subordinate to the Department of Metropolitan Governor's Staff, and the business of Hanliu was now dominated by this department. "Zhang Laoben, who led Wu Sangui and Sun Yanling's old troops to occupy the city of Yong'an Prefecture (note: Mengshan), also sent people to follow him, but his asking price was too high, and he had to be a deputy general or a deputy general, and he was disdainful of the military cavalry lieutenant given to him." The general and deputy general soldiers of Ming Zheng are the chief generals of the corps and even the generals, and the deputy generals are also high-ranking officials of the second grade, even if they ask for a sky-high price, this price is too high, no wonder the people in the department want to say a few strange words. "In addition, there is someone in Xiangzhou who has left us a message with Guò Han, claiming to be Li Dingguo's old department, and is willing to share our worries."

"Li Dingguo's old department, it's really a spring thunder, and all snakes and insects have crawled out, maybe in two days, there will be people who claim to be King Chuang's rebirth." He Qian laughed, but he really didn't expect that someone did have the audacity to break into Fuzhou in the name of the third prince of Zhu and ask Emperor Wuding and the officials of the court to give him a name. "Aren't these snakes, rats, insects and ants trying to share our worries?" After laughing, He Qian's face was solemn. "It's okay, let them take Xiangzhou and Wuxuan for self-efficacy."

"My lord, shouldn't you let Wuzhou move too?" Hearing He Gan's words, Li Shun, a second-class staff officer standing beside him, said so. "Not to mention that the arrow force is advancing westward, at least to enter the counties of Yanlin, so that it can not only respond to the righteous army on the front line of Xiangzhou, but also prevent Zhang Kaiying from playing tricks."

"My lord, Counselor Li's words are inappropriate." Another second-class staff officer, Yang Long, objected. "Although the Qing prisoners in Xunzhou do not have many troops, but our army's strength in Wuzhou is limited to one division, in case the main force of our army goes south, the enemy in Xunzhou suddenly kills, then our army is cut off, but what should I do." Yang Long smiled at his old classmates and signaled that he was just talking about things. "As seen by the following officials, since Zhang Kaiying and others have already returned to the imperial court, they should not be too suspicious, it is better to directly march into Xunzhou Mansion, so that they can not only deter the officials of Yulin, but also expand the occupied area of our army."

"It's not proper, it's inappropriate, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if these wall grasses will have other plans." Li Shun insisted on some of his views, but also made some adjustments along with Yang Long's plan. "It's better to march into the forest first, and then reorganize the green battalions of the four counties, and drive them to attack the three counties of Xunzhou together."

The construction of the two people fell into He Gan's ears, and the chief soldier stood up thoughtfully and walked to the map to look carefully: "Wuzhou is related to the connection between our army and the hinterland of Guangdong, and there is really no room for failure, Yang Long, you immediately take my general order to the Left Tiger Division to draw three outposts of troops, and then transfer one outpost from the Right Dragon Martial Division, and immediately rush back to Wuzhou, as for the lack of troops in each division, when the new recruits in Guilin arrive, this official will make up for them, so that Tang Baoyi and Xi Daping are reluctant." ”

Yang Long knew that He Gan's words were not over, so he listened quietly: "After you lead these four sentinels back to Wuzhou, you will immediately draw troops from the Wuzhou Division and expand them into regiments, and you will be the commander of the regiment, and then you will be fully responsible for the garrison of Wuzhou." ”

Li Shun looked at his classmates with some jealousy, no reason, even if Zheng Jun has now expanded to more than ten times the original size, but for a military attache from the Boy Scout, it is extremely rare to serve as a regimental commander.

Yang Long still listened quietly, and listened to He Qian: "When your Wuzhou regiment is properly formed, let Ma Yiyuan lead the Rongxian Division south to the forest to collect the local Qing army, and then go north to Xunzhou to cut off the foreign aid of the enemy in Liuzhou from the southern front." ”

Cutting off Liuzhou's foreign aid from the southern front also means going head-to-head with the Qing army reinforcements from Nanning, which is not a simple matter, but I believe that Ma Yiyuan, who was promoted from the commander of the Youlong Martial Arts Division to the commander of the Rongxian Division, will never be afraid to avoid the battle.

Yang Long was still thinking about it, and He Qian said coldly: "Why don't you want to go to Wuzhou?" I'm still waiting for the official to invite you to supper. ”

"Ahh Yang Long, who woke up, hurriedly denied. "No, the next official will come out"
