As early as when the news of the riots in eastern Sichuan reached Beijing, Kangxi was very worried about the progress of the war in Huguang. Therefore, when the Henan side urgently reported that the Zheng army had entered and occupied Nanyang with an expedited report of 600 li, but was questioned by the ministers, he arbitrarily ordered the mobilization of troops from all over the country to reinforce it.
It's a pity that although Kangxi's decision was swift, the military department, which was suspicious of Henan's emergency generals, could not come up with a feasible scheduling plan. But the so-called true can't be fake, fake can't be true, when the governor of Henan reported like snowflakes that Xinyang Prefecture, Ruzhou Zhili Prefecture, Guangzhou Zhili Prefecture, and Runing Mansion had fallen and rebelled to attach Zheng, Henan, Chenzhou, and Xuzhou are now Zheng Jun Detective Cavalry, and after the news of Jingxiang was always cut off, the procrastinating military department felt that something was wrong.
But at this moment, it was too late to explain to Kangxi, and after learning that the Ministry of War had not come up with a rescue strategy, Kangxi immediately demoted the bachelor who supervised the affairs of the Ministry of War, Ethan Alian, to seven levels, and the Ministry of War was full of Han Shangshu and Shilang all sent to prison, and the middle and lower ranks of the Ministry of War were seized and retained to watch the after-effects, and the eldest son of the emperor Yinchu supervised the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Thinking that he was one step closer to the position of the prince, Yinchu naturally wanted to burn a few fires and set up some prestige after taking office, and the soldiers who were manipulated like dogs were about to hang their tongues and exhale the upper and lower military departments secretly scolded the bad things Nertu on the one hand, and made a dojo in a snail shell on the other hand, trying to choose again and again among the overstretched military forces, and finally decided to increase troops from Shandong, Zhili, and Shanxi provinces to Henan under the condition of trying not to mobilize the Xuzhou battalion and Shaanxi and Gansu troops to assist in the defense of Sichuan, hoping to block the Zheng army's troops.
The regulations for the transfer of troops have been drawn up, and the messengers who have sent the order have been sent out in a hurry, but the troops distributed in the three provinces cannot be mobilized in one time. The Kangxi and Manchu courts could only strictly order the governor of Henan to strictly guard Kaifeng, Luoyang and other important cities on the one hand, and pray to the gods and Buddhas on the other hand to let the Zheng army not go north.
Of course, the gods and Buddhas are illusory, so the Zheng army is still marching forward, not only in Henan in and out of the land of no one, but also once deep into the territory of Yingzhou Mansion in Huaibei, but the above-mentioned area is vast, Zheng Jun troops are scattered, although they have captured many Fuzhou counties, but as the Qing court high-level and Henan magistrates expected, there is no strong attack on Xuchang, Kaifeng, Guide and other large cities.
However, although the Zheng army did not capture the large cities that the Qing army strictly defended, it took away 100,000 households in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Guide and other places alone, and even cut off all the summer grain that had been harvested. The defenders in the city wanted to cry without tears and watched the Zheng army, who was showing off his might, escorting the crying people every day, carrying all kinds of carriages, mule carts, and pushing carts all the way south, but they didn't dare to attack at all - that's right, even the hundreds of thousands of Zhennan troops didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so they wanted to fight each other hard with their small body, so forget it, it's already thankful that people don't come to fight themselves, how can they still get into trouble
On August 11, the 36th year of Kangxi, Shandong Fubiao and Yanzhou Town arrived at Defu. The next day, Guo Shilong, the governor of Shandong and Henan, carefully led the governor and the Shandong reinforcements to Kaifeng after handing over the defense and Xuzhou battalions, and received the counties that had been ten rooms and nine empty along the way, and entered the closed city of Kaifeng on August 16.
Immediately, Guo Shilong and Henan Governor Mu Sen praised the great victory together, but in the compromises to Kangxi, he said frankly: "Looking at the loss of Henan counties, the plan of the sea rebellion can be understood, nothing more than destroying the place, so that it has no manpower and no taxes to pay tribute to the imperial court, but the slaves know it but have no way to deal with it."
On the same day that Guo Shilong played, the Ming army of Zhu Qi's department was defeated and then won in Tongliang, and in one fell swoop defeated the new Sichuan army led by Wu Yan, the governor of Sichuan, which shook the whole Sichuan.
Got the bad news in Sichuan, Kangxi had to order the Shaanxi army to enter Sichuan, and at the same time, in view of the fact that the Zheng army had invaded Yunnan and contained the headquarters of Jianchang Town, Sichuan, so that it could not fully support the war in Sichuan, so the strong man broke his wrist and ordered the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to abandon Yunnan and lead the whole army into Sichuan to take over the governor of Sichuan.
Since the Sichuan matter is critical, Henan's position will be more critical, so Beijing's Qin is endless. Under the pressure of Beijing, and waiting for the rapid march of Zhili to raise the standard, supervise the standard, and the reinforcements of the three towns of Xuanhua, Taining, and Malan, Guo Shilong mustered up the courage to contact Zhengzhou and Henan Prefecture to the west, and to recover Weishi, Yanling, Taikang and other places in the south, but like Suixian, Tongxu, Qixian and other places, the Qing army only recovered a few empty county seats.
On 30 August, the advance of Shanxi reinforcements arrived at Weihui. After hearing the news, Guo Shilong immediately led his troops into Xuchang, and made a posture of attacking Ruzhou to the west, attacking Runing to the south, and recovering Chenzhou to the east.
On the first day of September, Zheng Kezhang ordered the Gwangju Zhili Prefecture and Lu'an Zhili Prefecture and Luoshan County of Runing Prefecture to be simplified into Gwangju Prefecture, which was subordinate to Jianghuai Province, and the two divisions of the garrison were changed to the command of the Huainan General Army, and along the Huai River to dig lakes, plant trees, build forts, and beacon fire posts for long-term holding. On the same day, Zheng Kezhang also ordered Jingmen Zhili Prefecture to be transferred to An'an 6 Prefecture, and Xinyang Prefecture to Hubei De'an Prefecture, and the Xinyang garrison was led by the new Huguang Right Deputy Commander Le Minyue.
On the seventh day of the ninth month, the Qing army, which had come to Shanxi for reinforcements, went west to recover the entire territory of Ruzhou, where only snakes, rats, insects and ants remained.
On 14 September, the Qing army in Henan "rescued" the siege of Chenzhou.
At this time, Zhu Qi's troops, who had won a great victory in Tongliang, counterattacked, successively seized Dazu, Tongnan, Suining, Anyue and other counties and marched to Ziyang, threatening Chengdu. Chengdu was shocked three times a day, but fortunately, Chengdu General Sang Er received Songpan Town into the city, which temporarily protected Chengdu. Perhaps because the city wall of Chengdu was strong and the Ming army lacked the ability to attack fortifications, so seeing that the Qing army reinforcements had arrived, Zhu Qi led his troops to move to Sichuanzhong and seize the prefectures and counties that were relatively easy to conquer.
On 20 September, the Qing army "struggled" to recapture the counties of Runing, and so far Henan was "restored" except for Xinyang and Gwangju, which were strictly guarded by Zheng's army, and Nanyang Province, which was guarded by the soldiers. However, out of concern for the strength of the Zheng army, the Qing army did not risk attacking Nanyang and Xinyang, and a new round of confrontation was formed between the two sides.
Guo Shilong actually overestimated the fighting ability of the Zheng army, because he accidentally plundered as many as 500,000 or 600,000 Henan people from Henan, so the Zheng army had to send a large number of troops to supervise these people who were dissatisfied with Zheng Fan because they left their hometowns to go south to Shitun, so on the Nanyang line, the Zheng army once only had one infantry division and two cavalry divisions, and the strength was less than one-third of the Qing army.
Speaking of which, not only was the army unable to continue fighting, but even the shogunate, which had just moved to Wuchang, was almost paralyzed because of the problem of relocating the people of Henan. However, the Qing army obviously did not know about this situation, otherwise even if it was due to the lack of soldiers' food, the Qing army would have mustered up enough courage to attack Nanyang and attack Huguang along the line of Suizao, making Zheng Kezang's victory fall short
On the eighth day of October, Nertu, who had finally struggled out of the deep mountains and old forests, was led into southern Shaanxi by the captured herb pickers, and the news of the complete destruction of the Zhennan camp and the follow-up reinforcements was confirmed. Kangxi, who was already out of breath, on the one hand, ordered the arrest of Nertu and others into Beijing, and on the other hand, arrested Yue Shenglong's family according to Nertu's report, but Zheng Fang sent someone to inform Yue's family in Lintao, Gansu Province with Yue Shenglong's letter early in the morning.
Knowing that the catastrophe was coming, the Yue family resolutely abandoned their home and fled into Sichuan under the cover of Zheng Fang's secret spy. Of course, Zheng Jun's strength in Sichuan is weak, and it is not easy to lure the Yue family into his rule.
On October 20, the assembled Qing army broke the 200,000 rabble gathered by Zhu Qi east of Jianyang, and Zhu Qi was forced to retreat to the east of Sichuan to defend it. However, the Zheng army, which swept through Yunnan and Guizhou, won Longwangshu and invaded Sichuan from Xuzhou, although it was blocked by Jianchang Town, Pu'er Town, Zhaotong Town, Yunnan and other departments that hurriedly returned south, but it also smashed the Qing army's attempt to go south to Yungui after eliminating Zhu Qi's troops in one fell swoop. After that, Zhu Qi controlled two prefectures and one prefecture such as Chongqing, Kuizhou, and Zhongzhou, and part of Tongchuan, Jiading, Baoning, and Shunqing, and Zheng Jun controlled two prefectures of Zhì Ningyuan, Zunyi, and one part of Xuzhou, and the rest was occupied by the Qing army
On the seventh day of November, Zheng Jun, who had completed escorting the people of Shitun south, began to return to Nanyang for 6 consecutive years, and Zheng Kezang, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the crisis has been lifted, Zheng Kezhang began to replace the forward commander. As a result, Lin Sheng, the former chief soldier of Huguang, was ordered to return to serve as the privy envoy, and Sun Youlao, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, served as the chief soldier of Henan, commanding the soldiers and horses of the ten divisions scheduled to be stationed in Nanyang Mansion. The next day, Zheng Kezhang ordered the addition of the Jingzhou battalion, and so far, Zheng Kezang has initially completed the layout of Huguang.
On November 18, Zheng Kezhang returned to Wuchang and announced the construction of the Xia Wang City between Wuchang and Ezhou, which led to rumors. It is rumored that Zheng Kezhang intends to move the capital to Wuchang, and after the completion of Xia Wangcheng, it will be the day of Zheng Kezang's dynasty. Zheng Kezhang did not explain this, and the rumors intensified. Not to mention how Zhu Qi would react after being introduced to eastern Sichuan, Zhu Qi was benefiting from Zheng Jun's entry into Sichuan, but Zheng Fan was very calm, so Emperor Taishun had not succeeded to the throne for a full year, and Taishun's era name was not used.
Of course, there are many opinions in the domain about Zheng Kezang's real intention to set the future in Wuchang, thinking that Zheng Kezang's move may have forgotten the fundamental doubts. Just as there were many opinions for or for it, for or for it or not, for or for it, a mysterious envoy quietly crossed the Qing-Zheng military demarcation line and entered Xinyang.
"You are Guo Shilong's envoy?" Looking at someone with pleasing eyebrows, Le Minyue was a little confused about where the other party came from. "Let's talk about it, but your master has figured it out and wants to abandon Qing and Touming?"
The general laughed. The visitor chuckled and shook his head. "It's a big matter, don't you let your own soldiers avoid it."
If it weren't for the fact that he had already checked the other party's body and knew that the other party was not carrying weapons, Le Minyue really wanted to drive the other party out immediately, but he hesitated for a while, and still waved away the guards beside him: "Now you can say it, but ugly things can be said in front, if you want to persuade you to surrender, you don't have to speak." ”
"Don't dare." The visitor looked up. "I'm not the envoy of Governor Guo." Seeing Le Minyue's murderous appearance, the person who came hurriedly hugged his fist. "Xiaguan, the internal affairs officer, Wailang Sukehatu, was ordered by the emperor to ask to see King Xia and convey the intention of the two countries to strike the army and reconcile!"
"What, you're a peacemaker?" Le Minyue exclaimed in amazement.
Su Kehatu shook his head with a smile: "What the adults said is surprising, the lower official is a good envoy."
