In Jiangbei, Zhou Peigong's offensive rhythm has also completely stopped. The cavalry troops led by Mang Yitu with more than 3,000 Han military banners were still as broken as the Horqin cavalry troops, and less than 800 of the 3,200 cavalry fled back, which was due to Mang Yitu's rapid reaction and early withdrawal. The combat strength of the cavalry unit of the Mawei Army was so strong that it greatly surprised Zhou Peigong's expectations, although he still had more than 20,000 troops to fight, but these were all foot soldiers, unless the cavalry of the Mawei Army took the initiative to attack his camp, otherwise he said that there was no way to take Jiang Yuanxun's cavalry division troops.

Mang Yitu and other Qing cavalry were also completely killed, and the remaining 800 cavalry no longer had the idea of competing with the horsetail cavalry. It's terrible, it's also cavalry, but your arrows are almost useless against people, and the sharp firearms in people's hands are indeed accurate one by one, as long as they are hit, they will either die or be maimed. The worst thing is that those who were not hit by the vital point and did not die for a while, fell off the war horse but were trampled alive into pulp.

So, will Jiang Yuanxun continue to attack Zhou Peigong's camp? Not for the time being, the cavalry is not suitable for attacking a city or anything, even if it is just a camp. These tasks should be handed over to the army, after all, people have artillery, and they can win by directly using cannons from afar. After Jiang Yuanxun eliminated the two cavalry units, he did not continue to march, but stationed in the original Mongolian cavalry camp. There is enough food and grass here, enough for 3,000 cavalry divisions to use for half a month, and there is no need to find another place or return directly to the outside of Sizhou for a while.

Zhou Peigong is the most entangled at the moment, enter. No entry; Withdraw. But they will be pursued and killed by the cavalry division of the Mawei Army. Now it's really a dilemma. So, for the time being, Zhou Peigong was confronted with the Mawei Army. However, the money and grain on the side of the Mawei Army can be transported and arrived, and there are more than 20,000 horses on Zhou Peigong's side, and people need a lot of grain and grass every day to eat and chew horses, and it is the rainy season here, the weather will be sunny and hot for a while, and it will be continuous rainstorms and thundershowers, and it is not a good thing for more than 20,000 people to get together. Most of the troops were Qing troops from the north. But I can't stand the weather here, and it is certain that the water and soil are not adapted, so the number of sick people in the army is increasing day by day. As soon as a soldier is sick, he needs a lot of medicinal materials, but there are not many stores in the army, and it will be consumed in two days.

Only three days have passed, and Zhou Peigong can't stay still, whether he fights or retreats, he must make a choice immediately. Because just now he got a piece of news that he least wanted to hear. Leerjin's army of 50,000 was completely annihilated, and only Leerjin himself escaped with a few personal guard cavalry. All the others became prisoners of the Mawei Army. This news is extraordinary, as far as he knows, the total number of troops in the Mawei Army marching into Jiangnan is the tens of thousands of troops, and now they can actually eat more than 50,000 troops in the imperial court, which is enough to show the power of the Mawei Army. So when the follow-up army of the Mawei Army arrives, what will his 20,000 horses count? It's just enough for people to stuff their teeth!

It is not only the imperial court that pays attention to the Jiangnan War, but Wu Sangui's spies also send the latest war reports to Wu Sangui's hands at any time. What's more, the place where the two armies fought was not too far from Yueyang, and it took three days to run quickly. After Wu Sangui received the report of the results of the battle between the Mawei Army and the Qing court, he immediately summoned the civil and military forces around him for urgent consultations, because he knew that his plan had to be changed. Also, he originally wanted to rule the Yangtze River with the Qing court, but he was not too keen on crossing the Yangtze River, but now it is different.

The Mawei army occupied Jiangnan, which meant that the Qing court's grain supply was cut off. The Qing court's active self-help did not achieve the expected effect, Leerjin's 50,000 troops were wiped out, and it is estimated that Zhou Peigong's 20,000 or 30,000 troops were also dangerous, in other words, Geng Jingzhong in the Jiangnan region was firmly established. However, in this way, there is no longer the power of the Qing army south of the Yangtze River, and the Qing court has lost most of the country, especially the most important town of money and grain for the Qing court to survive. Although the Qing court still has an army of 500,000 at the moment, so what, without the support of money and food, how long can they hold out? Don't you see, in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's 700,000 army should be burned for Wuchao, and then the whole army collapsed instantly?

Next, it is estimated that he doesn't have to make much effort, and the Qing court will have its own problems. In this way, does he still need to continue to guard the Yangtze River? Taking advantage of the tepid morale of the Qing army, all kinds of means will be able to defeat the Qing army. And just this opportunity, you can also annex a large number of Qing troops and turn them into your own strength, and the whole world will be at your fingertips at that time! Wu Sangui, who was sitting in the lobby, suddenly felt full of pride, and at the same time, a thought suddenly popped up, should he be the emperor at this moment? The banner of the Great Zhou is already there, and it can be upgraded to the national name, but there is still a lack of an emperor.

To say that after the war in the past two years, Wu Sangui has been quite smooth. His initial army was indeed vigorously responded to by the Han officials and the people, and he took advantage of the time, the people. He led the anti-Qing Dynasty, which can be said to be a major outbreak of Han nationality. In just over three months, he had already taken Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan provinces, and Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shaanxi, and other provinces or regions had successively rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, crossed Henan and Hebei, and pierced Beijing, the heart of the Qing Dynasty, and as far north of the Great Wall. The current anti-Qing campaign is unprecedented, with its rapid development, fierce momentum, wide spread, and large scale.

Facts show that this turmoil has far exceeded Wu Sangui's personal struggle with the interests of the imperial court, and of course, Geng Jingzhong has been fishing in troubled waters. In fact, in a broad sense, the struggle between the three feudatories and the Qing court also showed another great contest between the Han nation and foreign rulers. Because judging from the participation in or response to Wu Sangui's rebellion this time, without exception, they are all Han people, and their main components or backbones are the former Ming Dynasty generals, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Chenggong's remnants and the rest of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The soldiers were also all Han Chinese, and the local people were recruited.

Some of them were related to Wu Sangui, but most had nothing to do with him, and they joined the army because they were unwilling to accept foreign rule. After the incident in history, according to the official statistics of the Qing court, there were 26 "rebel ministers", of which 20 were generals of the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining six were not officials in the Ming Dynasty, and even two were Jinshi in the early Qing Dynasty. According to statistics, there were more than 500 civil servants and thieves in various provinces, that is, former Ming Dynasty officials and Han Chinese became the main participants and organizers of this incident. Although the Qing Dynasty entered the customs for more than 20 years, people have always been suspicious of this new master and are unwilling to accept this fact.

When a famous person dares to take the lead, they will take action, and Wu Sangui happens to play this role. With his strength and status, he raised his arms and shouted, and the world responded. Wu Sangui also realized this at the beginning, and played the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty and fighting the Qing Dynasty, which was also an important reason why he dared to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty. Like in March of the year before last. That is, when Wu Sangui had just been cavalry for a month, Sichuan Governor Luo Sen reported to Kangxi that the whole Sichuan army was unstable and had different ambitions; Kangxi was afraid that the situation would change, so he immediately sent Hu Libu and others to march quickly, and before the reinforcements arrived in Sichuan, the news of the conspiracy between Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan, and Tan Hong, the general soldier of Sichuan, had already arrived. And these two people are precisely the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

It should be said that from the entry of the Qing soldiers to Wu Sangui's anti-Qing Dynasty, in less than 30 years, from the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was only ten years, many of the old and young of the former Ming Dynasty are there, they still remember the Ming Dynasty vividly, and they have a feeling of nostalgia, especially some people who share the fate with the Ming Dynasty, the nostalgia is deeper and stronger, and even the heart still hopes to restore the Ming room. As soon as they have the opportunity, these people will not hesitate to participate in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary people, out of the pride of the Han people, were unwilling to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was more appealing and in line with people's general aspirations.

Right now. Wu Sangui felt that the victory was in his hands. My mind changed dramatically. Originally, he was indeed ready to continue to hold the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, although he had already called himself the King of Zhou at the moment, he was still restoring the Ming Dynasty and seeking the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning, Liu Xuanchu, one of Wu Sangui's two great strategists, advised him that he should still be called Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he should treat the crime with caution to tell the world, as long as he does this, then the loyal ministers and righteous people who are not devoted to the cause of restoring sight! But as soon as Wu Sangui raised the banner of righteousness, he regarded himself as the "founding of the country" and established a new dynasty, which was his own disintegration of the hearts of the people of the world. In this way, people of insight in the world can see clearly that your ambition is not to regain your sight, and how many can still follow you? Sure enough, the result was that there were fewer people who could have responded for a while.

In fact, last year, Wu Sangui also consulted Li Changxiang, the former Shaoqing of the Ming Dynasty, and asked him about the strategy of the world. Li Changxiang's establishment is: "Hurry up and change the name of the Ming Dynasty to win people's hearts and establish the descendants of Chongzhen to encourage loyalty." Wu Sangui asked his confidants Fang Guangchen and Hu Guozhu for advice, but these two people were resolutely opposed, and the two of them had the same opinion: "When Xiang Yu established Emperor Yi as the emperor, he later killed him, but instead moved the world's soldiers, such as today, it is all in the hands of the prince, and where will Chongzhen be placed in the future?" In other words, it is to build a dynasty of its own. Instead of killing Chongzhen's descendants as usurpers in the future, it is better not to use the banner of the Ming Dynasty now and set up his own name, so that his name is justified. Wu Sangui has never had a definite opinion in this regard, and is in a vacillation, Fang and Hu are his important think tanks, and when they say this, it directly affects Wu Sangui, and he has no intention of changing his name, Li Changxiang saw that Wu Sangui was not moved by his words, felt cold, and left Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui had no intention of establishing Ming as Zhengshuo, and had a very bad negative influence among the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty, and left him one after another. At that time, Geng Jingzhong also laughed at Wu Sangui greatly. Wu Sangui's action caused many former doctors to come to Geng Jingzhong, which was also one of the main reasons why Geng Jingzhong was able to quickly control Guangdong, Jiangxi and southern Zhejiang. However, although Wu Sangui lost the support of the Ming Dynasty scholars, his military superiority was still there. It's just that he failed to actively enter the army, and he missed the best opportunity. In fact, if he had taken advantage of the favorable situation of raising troops in various places at the beginning of the previous year, and had not been in a panic in the Qing Dynasty, without preparation, and before the troops were gathered, he would have crossed the Yangtze River and crossed the Yellow River in the north in one go, and basically won the game.

But he has been in Hunan for so long, and the same is true in later history. If it weren't for the Mawei Army's current incident, he would have stayed in Hunan for four years. At that time, the two sides were already in a tug-of-war, and history records that the Qing army at that time began to counterattack one after another after a long period of preparation. At this time, it is already very difficult to cross the river again. Moreover, Wu Sangui raised troops in a corner and could not support a long-term war of attrition, so later, it became more and more unbearable. In 1678, Wu Sangui established the Great Zhou, the year name Zhaowu, officially ascended the throne and called the emperor, and wanted to take advantage of this to appease the people and boost morale in the case of military disadvantages, but unfortunately the people's hearts have slowly fallen to the Qing Dynasty at this time, and the military is becoming more and more unfavorable, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty also scolded him for being an ambitious usurper, no one wants to sincerely take refuge in Wu Sangui, and his mood was depressed, old and sick, and died more than four months after ascending the throne, his grandson Wu Shifan ascended the throne, and soon withdrew from Hengzhou City and defended to the rear. At the end of 1681, when the Qing army broke through Kunming, Wu Shifan committed suicide by poisoning, and since then, this large-scale catastrophe in the Central Plains has come to an end.
