Tengchong is located in the southwest of Yongchang, more than 200 kilometers away, and was the key point of the ancient southwest Silk Road in history. Because of the important geographical location, all dynasties have sent heavy troops to garrison, the Ming Dynasty orthodox years to build this city, Jingtai years to be strengthened again, the city wall is all a huge stone, seven miles and three points around the turn, the highest two zhang five, the city tower is four zhang high and strange, it is called "the first city on the extreme edge".

There are more than 2,000 people in the three provinces of Wu, but nearly half of them are the wives and dependents of Li Dingguo's large battalion generals. Gao Wengui's army, which had more than 3,000 men, retreated here after the Battle of Mopan Mountain, and he made what he considered to be the most sound recommendation based on the fortification of Tengchong City, which was of course understandable.

It's just that Zhu Yongxing doesn't want to fight with the invading Qing army in a dignified manner, and then fight; I don't want to stick to the lonely city and fall into passivity. Defend Tengchong, but do not fight in Tengchong. Zhu Yongxing meditates on the past and present war examples every day, plans and plans against the tourist map, and has preliminarily formulated such a plan.

Of course, this is on paper, and Zhu Yongxing is also apprehensive about this, and needs the guidance and suggestions of veterans such as Gao Wengui, Wu Sanxing, and Wu Zisheng. In terms of total strength, the Nanming army is not superior, and it is divided into various departments, if they cannot agree and work together, Zhu Yongxing would rather not fight this battle.

As for whether the Qing army can come, Zhu Yongxing is only five points sure in his heart. I hope that I toss fiercely enough, the target is big enough, and the name of the clan is threatening enough; I also hope that the Qing army will be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and Daniel Zhang will be greedy for merit.

Analyzing the overall situation, Zhu Yongxing felt that it was not the best policy to lead the Mengshan Gram people to Annan in a hurry, and he was worried that he would be attacked by the Qing army of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in Annan. However, if he stirs up a hand in western Yunnan and makes the Southern Ming army cheer up and increase its strength, it may contain the Qing army in Yunnan Province, so that he only needs to face the pressure from Guangxi in Gaoping, Annam.

I really want to get a victory over the Qing army! Although the number of troops is still insufficient. In this regard, Zhu Yongxing is not only a little helpless about the actual situation, but also a little looking forward to the confrontation with the so-called famous generals of the ancients. But now is not the time to hand over the plan to Gao Wengui and Wu Sanxing, he still needs some intelligence to confirm, he also needs the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty to rest better, and the Mengshan Ke people need to familiarize themselves with the terrain and terrain of the combat area as soon as possible.

Wuhua Mountain in the northwest corner of Kunming City, the palace of Yongli, although it has not been expanded on a large scale by Wu Sangui, but the Southern Ming army took the initiative to withdraw, without the war, the building is still gorgeous and spectacular. In the back garden, the spring water is brought into the canal in the garden, like a flowing blue belt, with terraces on both sides of the water flow, and a bridge built in the sky like a rainbow connecting the buildings on both sides.

However, at this time, the scenery is that Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, two big traitors, are discussing in the pavilion next to the clear water in this picturesque scenery.

This time, the Qing court used troops in Yungui, although it was a three-way march, but the first army under the personal command of the three ghosts played an important role, especially when advancing to Yunnan, the three ghosts led all the way, undertook the combat tasks of the main battlefield, and launched a fierce battle with Li Dingguo's elite, charged into battle, and won the first credit. The court will give a reward, so naturally it is not a problem. But the tide is rising, and Wu Sangui's desire is also expanding with time, and he is doing to inherit the status of the Mu family in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty.

"After a while, the road outside the border is difficult and dangerous, the miasma is difficult to prevent, and the Manchurian generals are not adapted to the climate here, Ningnan Jingkou General Luo Tuo, Anyuan Jingkou General Doni, Zhengnan General Zhao Butai and others all hope to return to Beijing as soon as possible to rest, and the imperial court also intends to transfer back the troops of Ganshan, if the Yunnan incident is repeated, the bandits are small!" Wu Sangui said with a frown.

Wu Sangui, who is half a hundred years old, has a face with upright facial features, a fair complexion, heroic eyebrows, a pair of slightly sunken eyes flashing with wisdom, only the slightly gray beard and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes indicate that he has reached the age of destiny, but the majestic and heroic aura is still there. If there was a flaw on his face, it was a red scar on the bridge of his nose.

"Uncle, I understand your intentions." Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, and said slowly: "The opinion of the military department consultation is that Kunming, the provincial capital of Gushan Ezhen Yierdeliu Town, with Changbo as the commander, and the Han army and green battalion soldiers as the mainstay, will lead a small number of Manchurian soldiers to march into Burma together with Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo to capture the puppet emperor Yongli. ”

"After a while, this discussion is inappropriate." Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "The hearts of the people in Yunnan Province are undecided, and the remnants of the Tusi and the puppet battalion from all walks of life have privately received pseudo-seals and pseudo-seals, and they have formed alliances with blood to provoke each other. If you hear that the soldiers are chasing westward, you will inevitably think wildly, avoid the real and the false, and return to the interior. At that time, the pursuit of the soldiers was far away and could not be reviewed, and the Yunnan soldiers were stationed in the provincial capital and could not be chased far away, and the disaster was not small. ”

Hong Chengchou smiled faintly and said: "I have gone to the imperial court, saying that Yunnan is ravaged to the extreme, and the soldiers are in danger. Grain and rice are expensive, and there is no way to buy them. The toast is numerous and uncertain, but the profit is the trend, as if my soldiers do not move, against the party false Yongli to call on the internal and external barbarians, bait to the high lord heavy Lu, a being instigated, swarming everywhere, this is also suffering from elbows and armpits. It is necessary to have a plan for internal security first, which can be used as a plan for external suppression. ”

"If you are a little talented, in a word, the court will definitely adopt it." Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief and complimented.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Wu Sangui quite meaningfully, Wu Sangui's thoughts he didn't know, but waited for the court to arrange and then make a decision. The Manchurian soldiers are not accustomed to water and soil, and they must leave sooner or later, and this land of Yunnan must rely on Wu Sangui's soldiers. If he chased and fought hard and leveled the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, Wu Sangui was naturally worried that the Qing court would hide all the birds and the rabbits would die and the dogs would cook. For the time being, let go of the Tusi who escaped into the border, but the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty who were just embers of the bonfire, it was a self-respecting plan to raise thieves.

"Although you can't raise troops on a large scale, but the matter of the pseudo-left-behind Min Shizi entering Yunnan, the eldest uncle should not ignore it!" Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "The eternal calendar of Myanmar is like a dry bone in a mound, it is not very important, this pseudo-left-behind guard is a little bold, dare to leave Burma and enter Yunnan, and show the king's flag in Tengyue." With this sustenance, the remnants of all kinds of toasts and pseudo-battalions are bound to gather together, and they must not be allowed to sit big! ”

"It's just a lie, it's just a dying struggle." Wu Sangui didn't seem to care too much about this, and sneered: "However, there are more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers who are not accustomed to the battle formation, plus more than 2,000 broken soldiers of the pseudo-marquis Wu Zisheng, and those who are heartbroken and fleeing for their lives are not to be worried. I have ordered Yongchang Daniel Zhang to lead the army to advance rapidly and suppress it, and it will be destroyed in a hurry. ”
