Chapter 138: Right-Leaning Escapism and Posthumous Faction

The traversers set their sights on the forces around the Yongli regime.

There is no way, these traversers are bold and careful, uninhibited and rigorous. It is related to the future, whether it is before or after the crossing, they have studied and studied, discussed and discussed, and there is no sense of relaxation and freehand at all.

In August 1646, Zhang Xianzhong led the Great Western Army of 500,000 to the north to resist the Qing Dynasty.

He organized a final effort to counterattack -- but unfortunately he was shot by the Qing army on Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong on 27 November and "died of great pain."

"After the death of Xianzhong, the battalions were in chaos", and they were suddenly shocked and suffered heavy casualties. The characteristics of the peasant army are all revealed, and without a leader, you are nothing.

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi collected thousands of remnants and more than 10,000 people in the first month of 1647, marched to Guizhou, and in March, Lianke Guiyang, Dingfan Prefecture, and Yongning Prefecture, "since the collapse of the counties of Qianxi".

This long march is a long march of life and death, and it is also a long march of victory. They have added changes to this era, and they have also given the traversers a lot of headaches.

How to deal with and manage them, there have always been different voices on the forum, all kinds of suggestions.

In the living room of a wealthy merchant in Guiyang, the four generals discussed the future way out and strategy of the Great Western Army. The meeting was solemn and low-key.

At the meeting, Sun Kewang put forward a proposal: "When you go to Lingnan, if you are in a hurry, you will enter the sea and run him a mother!" Overseas places are so big, where is there no place for living people? ”

In view of this right-leaning escapism, Li Dingguo, the posthumous faction, firmly pointed out: "Restore sight! This is our only way out, and how can we stay away from the land of our ancestors in the wilderness overseas? ”

Li Dingguo's firmness is related to Zhang Xianzhong's last words......

In the face of the huge pressure of the Qing soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong's sense of national righteousness also returned.

Zhang Xianzhong's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty changed. On the eve of his death, he said to his generals: "The Ming Dynasty has been orthodox for three hundred years, and the will of heaven will not end. ”

Of course, you could also say that the main contradictions of this period began to rise to the national level, not the class level. So he led Zhang Xianzhong's transformation.

Pull it down, the traversers scoff at this kind of view with the fallacies of the West.

When another gang of bandits "resisted" the Qing soldiers in front, why didn't you change around? At that time, the national contradiction was not the main contradiction, right?

Do you have to wait for the butcher's knife to come out when it is your turn?

In fact, it's very simple, that is, I want to live, and I want to live a little better, such as being a leader, an emperor or something, do you want to let the soldiers clear?! Oh, don't let it, you want to be it too, then fight!

The people who died were the Ming people, and they said justice and justice.

What does Zhang Xianzhong's words with the smell of last words mean?

Li Dingguo deeply tasted the meaning: We have done injustice, and now if we can't defeat the Qing army, we can still drop if we surrender to Ming, you see that the remaining Ming regime is still scum, and the outcome of our trip may not be bad, and it is not good to surrender to the Qing army, they have made it clear that they will not give us a way to live -- of course, if I don't die, once we win, you don't have to surrender, and then we will talk about it depending on the situation.

Sun Kewang originally disagreed with Li Dingguo's opinion, but the generals unanimously said: "My generation is only ordered by General Anxi." Seeing this, Sun Kewang, a right-leaning escapist, had no choice but to retract his views and suffered a shameful defeat.

Maybe that nation will lose an overseas country with cultural identity in the future, and in the future, this gang of people may be able to fight back to Mingda 6 and save a nation again, but these are all the imaginations of the traversers - they all stay in Mingda 6 in the end, and they will either die or surrender.

At that time, the four generals set up an altar and swore an oath: "Duplicate the surname, respect and be bound." ”

The trend of Lianming's resistance to the Qing Dynasty began to take shape.

But judging from the subsequent exhibitions, this is just talking. If you are curious, you can look up what the integrity rate of the altar oath has been in history, and then you will understand.

At this time, Yunnan was in the midst of the rebellion of Tusi Shadingzhou in Ami Prefecture, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Ming Qianguo, fled from Kunming. This kid raises taxes quite heavily, and his methods are not hidden at all.

His deputy general Long Zaitian knew Sun Kewang as early as when Zhang Xianzhong surrendered Gucheng, so he sent someone to ask Sun Kewang for help, informing him: "If you come to ask for false righteousness, the whole province can be determined." ”

The four generals thought that this was a good opportunity to expand the territory under the jurisdiction of the peasant army, so they sent troops to Yunnan in the name of revenge for the Duke of Qianguo.

When Sha Dingzhou heard the news, he was terrified and abandoned Kunming and fled south. These aborigines have also plagued Kunming.

In April 1647, the Great Western Army marched into Kunming, and "all the people set up incense cases outdoors to greet them", in fact, everyone who came was treated the same.

The four generals immediately divided the road and pacified, persuaded Mu Tianbo to unite with the peasant army, and announced that "the king of Qin will be jointly restored to the great tomorrow".

In August, the four generals jointly proclaimed the king in Kunming, Sun Kewang was called the king of Pingdong, Li Dingguo was called the king of Anxi, Liu Wenxiu was called the king of Funan, and Ai Nengqi was called the king of Dingbei.

They still maintained the tradition of the peasant army: "When they meet on official business, four people sit on top of each other", and "if the generals of each battalion reward and punish, one is expected".

The traversers knew in their hearts that the facts of the later exhibition would prove that this kind of power organization structure was only a pseudo-democratic form, which was not suitable for the national conditions of Ming University 6.

In May 1648, Ai Nengqi, the king of Dingbei, died of poisoned arrows in the battle against Dongchuan, and his department was absorbed by Sun Kewang, but his strength was still not as strong as that of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.

In August, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu broke through the sand village, captured Shadingzhou, and Quanping in eastern Yunnan. When the army returned to the division, Mu Tianbo "thanked him", "The Dian people were killed by the Sha clan and thought that they were happy".

During their stay in Yunnan, the four generals implemented a policy of restoring production and benefiting the people, and people of the Yi, Bai, Zhuang, and Dai ethnic groups joined the army one after another, and the Great Western Army expanded to "more than 200,000 people," and a new armed force -- the elephant corps -- was added. Only Li Dingguo's ministry "Han and Luo also exceeded 50,000". Production has also been greatly developed, and there was a scene of "southern Yunnan is ripe, the people are abundant", and "the soldiers and the people are at peace" in that year.

Sun Kewang, a right-leaning escapist, gradually swelled his personal ambitions as his status grew. He actually thought that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, and threatened to say let's come by ourselves.

In 1646, when Zhu Youlang was proclaimed emperor in Zhaoqing, Sun Kewang had already thrown the "Lianming Anti-Qing Dynasty" to the back of his mind, in a vain attempt to divide Yunnan and dominate one side.

Li Dingguo, the posthumous faction, said to him sternly: "Zhaoqing already has a king, and the name of the year is also eternal, and he is not virtuous and arrogant, and he wants to bring about his own destruction?" ”

The meaning is obvious, what are you? Let's all go to Zunming, so that everyone is about the same-

Due to the strength of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, Sun Kewang had to dispel his "dictatorial" ambitions, but he was worried about it in his heart.

Sun Kewang thought hard about another way, he secretly thought: "The name is right, and the Son of Heaven is coerced to order it, and the same kind will not dare to resist me." ”

There is an imbalance of internal forces, and there is no natural sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, which cannot bring them to oneness...... Of course, the traverser also knows very well that these people have not yet escaped from the survival stage in a real way, and their vision cannot penetrate the fog of history, and every choice is based on surviving first.

In April 1649, Sun Kewang sent Yang Weizhi as an envoy to negotiate with Emperor Yongli for a "joint restoration" and asked to be crowned King of Qin.

Although Li Dingguo "knew about his treachery", in order to realize the wish of "Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty", he "let it be self-defeating".

However, Sun Kewang's request was rejected by Emperor Yongli and his vassals. As a result, Li Dingguo was very dissatisfied with Sun Kewang's behavior. You see, the seeds of division are planted here.

Zheng Chenggong, who is still a small scumbag, is operating in Jieyang and Chaozhou in Guangdong, recruiting soldiers in Nanao and other places, connecting the three small counties of Chaoyang, Jieyang, and Huilai, recruiting some local armed forces, strengthening himself, and expanding his strength to more than several thousand.

However, at this time, he had not yet swallowed the Xiamen power of his uncle Zheng Lian, so he had a chance to get 165o years.

There is still a long way to go to reunite the scattered uncles of Daddy......

There is also a force that the traversers have to study again.

The Portuguese side of Macao has also contributed to the establishment of the Yongli regime, and even went into battle shirtless.

In fact, when the Yongli regime was established, there was despair from top to bottom. Catholicism has also become a kind of sustenance for them, and many ministers and harem personnel have joined Catholicism, which makes the Portuguese side of Macao very happy.

At that time, Fr. Qu Ande, an Austrian, arrived in Macao in 1646 and was immediately sent with the army to support the Yongli regime, and this person won the trust of Yongli and was allowed to preach Catholic doctrine in the palace, which filled the Yongli Palace with a Catholic atmosphere.

These reinforcements were brought by another priest, the Italian Francis Bi Francis, who went to Australia on the orders of Yongli to ask for help.

At that time, the Portuguese authorities in Macao attached great importance to this Yongli regime, believing that supporting him would be beneficial to their future trade, so they quickly recruited 3oo soldiers, several cannons, and used Nikolai ?? Ferreira was the captain and was led by Pang Tianshou, a eunuch who also went to ask for help.

The role of this support force is really not small, and more than 1,000 Qing soldiers besieging the city were killed in one sortie...... This also allowed the Qing soldiers who participated in the siege to witness and personally feel the role of firearms and artillery on the battlefield.

This thing isn't as scummy as Akito uses.

When Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao attacked Guangzhou in 165o, they also hired Dutch gunners following the example of the Yongli regime...... The traversers saw the sordid shadow of the Dutchman again, and although he loomed, he remained there. The Dutch, in a vain attempt to replace the power of the Portuguese, supported the Manchus......

Of course, this is born in history before the traversers came.

The Macao Jesuits had consulted with Fr. Qu Shawei to persuade the Queen Mother, who had joined the Church, to write to the Pope and the Society of Jesus, so after the Queen Mother sent an envoy to Macao to offer sacrifices, she immediately planned to send an envoy to Rome to pay homage to the Pope.

The queen mother, the holy name Helena (he1ena), referred to as Reina, she was not the biological mother of the Yongli Emperor, because she was the concubine of Xizong (Tianqi), the queen died, and the throne was carried to the queen, since she was the first emperor, Yu Li system was regarded as the mother of the reigning emperor.

This mission was originally intended to be completed by Pang Tianshou, but the Queen Mother considered that he was too old to travel long distances, and he was the main pillar of the Yongli Imperial Court, so he could not leave.

Later, he sent a representative of the Jesuit in the palace.

The first Ming man to go to Europe stepped onto the stage of history, although he has long been forgotten - in order to make Europe understand the Southern Ming court more intuitively, the young official Chen Ande was specially appointed by Si Li Tailin Pang Tianshou to carry a letter from Emperor Yongli Fu to accompany Bu Mige, and Chen Ande became the first "Chinese diplomat" to go to Europe. His story will be told later.

According to the travelers, Yongli's real purpose in sending envoys to Europe was twofold: one was to show the church state that the Ming Dynasty was loyal to Christian teachings, and the other was to win European support for his anti-Qing struggle. Not only to enlist moral support, but also to get artillery.

This is also the reason why the traversers are confident that they can exchange artillery guns for girls.

At this time, although the Yongli regime controlled the Guangdong region, the powerful offensive of the Qing army made it in a very difficult situation, and this visit to Rome was probably a last effort to save the situation.

In the end, they did not receive substantial support, and the Portuguese and Macao sides symbolically gave 100 muskets...... The Portuguese and Macao sides also saw that this Nanming was no longer good, and turned to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Of course, that's an afterthought.

When the information was found here, the traversers thought that they had thoroughly researched and analyzed it in place.

As for the civil revolts and factional rebellions in the north, they decided to let them go for the first time. I really can't take care of it.

June 1649 was as hot as previous June, and the city of Guangzhou was still full of people and still maintained the pride of a world-famous commercial city.

The clouds of war seem to be some distance away from them. But they also made some preparations.

The city of Guangzhou faces the water on three sides, Du Yunhe, the governor of Nanming and Guangzhou, and rebuilds two wings attached to the river as a platform, and the water is surrounded by water, and the land is dangerous and fortified.
