Chapter 117: Broken Arm? (ask for collections, tickets)

Relatively speaking, Bai Wenxuan seems to be more anxious than Li Dingguo to take over the return to Yunnan, and has entered Burma several times in history. Li Dingguo, on the other hand, considered that the persecution of Burma was too much, or that it might endanger Yongli and his ministers, so he only patrolled the Yunnan-Burma border as a deterrent. It was only when the Qing army was about to enter Burma in a big way to capture Yongli that Fang and Bai Wenxuan joined forces to attack Burma and take over.

For what? Zhu Yongxing waved his hand at Bai Wenxuan's apology, saying that he didn't care too much, but his expression was a little absent-minded, which showed that he was actually not happy in his heart.

Haven't you done well enough, haven't you been brave and resolute enough? Why do you always have to think about the Yongli who is frightened and abandons the country? When there is a big victory, it is not for how to stabilize the war situation or continue to forge ahead and plan carefully, but it takes people and effort to enter Burma to take over.

Putting the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty under the emperor, it seems that it is not only Li Dingguo who has such thinking! Zhu Yongxing sighed in his heart, and his face gradually calmed down. Although he did not want to see Yongli, Yongli was still the banner of the anti-Qing armed forces in various places at this time, and it was the orthodoxy that was jointly supported. Although many of this support is in name, it is a bond that maintains the anti-Qing forces without tearing their faces.

If Yongli is dead now, the crown prince will be finished, and Zhu Yongxing, a collateral clan, has not yet formed its own strong force, let alone the recognition of other anti-Qing forces. It is conceivable that it will be a chaotic situation, Zhang Huangyan may support Zhu Yihai, the thirteen families of Kuidong may support King Anton, and Zheng Chenggong may support Zhu Shugui, King of Ningjing. Who is not selfish in such a matter of favor, and who does not want to introduce a king who is more beneficial to himself?

Forget it, there is no need to delve into Bai Wenxuan's intentions, just think of him as the simplest loyal monarch thought! Zhu Yongxing slowly calmed down, knowing what he wanted others to think, the decisive factor was still in himself and his own performance. However, this also strengthened his mind to break away from powerful figures like Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan and develop separately first.

Bai Wenxuan watched Zhu Yongxing's face change, and he was worried, knowing that he might have offended Zhu Yongxing, and wanted to open his mouth to explain again, but he felt that he was getting blacker and blacker.

Zhu Yongxing's eyes flashed, and he woke up from his contemplation. When he came into contact with Bai Wenxuan's eyes, he immediately felt that his concentration was not enough, and he couldn't do the thick black realm where joy and anger were invisible.

"King Zhao's patriotism is commendable." Zhu Yongxing smiled at himself and said: "Although our army has won a small victory, the Qing army is still strong. And at present, it occupies only some remote places, and repeated battles are common, and the matter of entering Myanmar to take over the car still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but he was still uneasy in his heart, so he had to follow Zhu Yongxing's words and said: "What His Highness said is very true, but His Highness is stupid, and what he thinks is not as good as His Highness. ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and didn't say anything about it, lest Bai Wenxuan be even more cranky. Subsequently, he diverted the topic and had a brief exchange and discussion with Bai Wenxuan about the current battle situation, just to free the two from this embarrassing matter.

Wait until you are full-fledged, and then think about bringing Yongli back from Myanmar! Zhu Yongxing already had a plan in his heart, and his expression returned to normal, after all, it should still be relatively far away, and there was no need to waste energy for this.

……………

Human judgments must always be based on evidence, not conjecture, and if something unexpected happens, it will naturally lead to wrong conclusions or be disturbed by confusion.

All the conjectures of Zhu Yongxing and others about Daniel Zhang were like this, and they couldn't figure it out, but they didn't expect that Daniel Zhang had been tortured by illness for a day and a night, and the Qing army was at a time when the dragons were leaderless and at a loss.

Malaria, commonly known as pendulum, is the most common disease in subtropical jungle areas. Since it is common, it doesn't matter if you are a soldier or a general, it is not uncommon for anyone to have this disease. And this disease is as tormenting as torture, cold as ice water, and shivering all over, even if it is covered with two quilts; When it was hot, he had a fever of more than 40 degrees, and the fever made people comatose and died.

The messenger sent by the line Guoan for help was fortunate to complete the task and was not attacked and killed on the way, but Daniel Zhang was seriously ill and could not deal with it, and Shao Mengkai, the guerrilla who temporarily replaced him, did not dare to specialize. Moreover, the feud between Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan is not a secret, and this sentiment is also contagious to their respective generals. Shao Mengkai saw that it was raining, and he didn't realize that the battle situation had taken a sharp turn. Therefore, there has been no active action in the appeal for national security.

When the rain passed and the sky was clear, Shao Mengkai dragged his feet and wanted to send reinforcements, but he found that the cavalry of the Ming army had appeared outside the camp, and then he realized that something was wrong.

On the sickbed, Daniel Zhang had just been freed from the intense cold and heat that lasted for several hours, and he only felt thirsty, and his throat and eyes seemed to be about to start a fire. The doctor who accompanied the army fed him some water, and he wanted to rest in a daze, but saw Shao Mengkai's expression change greatly.

Although he still felt that his body was weak, Daniel Zhang still instinctively realized that something was wrong, barely supported his body, and listened to Shao Mengkai's report with a strong spirit.

"The letter of distress from the line Guoan arrived at the right time, and it has been almost six hours now, and I don't see him leading his troops back, but the cavalry of the Ming army has already arrived." Daniel Zhang sorted out Deng Mengkai's narration, and immediately set off a storm in his heart.

Although it was hard to believe that the three camps he had set up did not play the role of blocking and delaying, and although the whereabouts of the line Guoan and his subordinates were unknown, Daniel Zhang was still aware of the extreme danger. It is unlikely that the Ming cavalry would have made a detour, and if the line Guoan could not get reinforcements, he would lead his troops to retreat, all of which were ruled out, and Daniel Zhang was shocked by the conclusions he had reached.

"Governor, let's withdraw first!" Deng Mengkai said anxiously: "Leave a small number of soldiers and horses, and then issue weapons to the auxiliaries to assist in the defense." The enemy came on light cavalry, and the ability to attack the fortification was insufficient, and it was estimated that they would have to wait for the arrival of the main infantry force before they could start the attack. If we move lightly, it is quite possible that we will retreat to the Nansai public housing. ”

Although Deng Mengkai did not say it very clearly, Daniel Zhang also understood what he meant. The so-called light march, of course, is to leave behind all the injuries and a large number of auxiliaries, in fact, it is just a way to flee in embarrassment. But there seems to be no choice but to do so.

If the whole army continues to retreat, at a rate of no more than 15 to 20 miles a day, I am afraid that it will be the result of the total annihilation of the whole army. It's just that, according to Deng Mengkai's method, it seems that it is not enough, and there should be other ways to buy more time.

It's time for a strong man to break his arm. Daniel Zhang gritted his teeth, reached out and called Deng Mengkai to his side, and explained in a low voice.
