Chapter 34 Li Dingguo's defeat of Sun Kewang

Zhang Biwu thought about this, he knew that it was difficult to achieve the Tao, if he wrote another letter to persuade Sun Kewang, he would really be disloyal to Yongli in the future, he would be untenable under the banner of the Ming Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and his appeal would be greatly reduced! He wouldn't have received as much help as he did today.

The combination of these circumstances really makes Zhang Biwu embarrassed! It will be difficult to send troops to save forever, and it will be difficult not to save it! Alas!

Zhang Biwu said helplessly: "Li Dingguo will definitely evacuate from Guangdong and return west to Anlong Mansion in Guizhou!" I can't go! I can only send a detachment of men! Who am I sending? ”

Lu Xiang raised his voice: "It's better for me to go!" How can I say that I used to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty, if I go, it is reasonable! Not a single soldier or horse here can move! I went to see Zhongqing and asked them to allocate more than 10,000 Lian Yong for me to take away. I think no matter how anxious I march, when I arrive in Huguang or Guangxi, Li Dingguo will have already arrived at Anlong Mansion, and I really don't want Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang to fight! If only I could persuade you! But it's hard......"

Zhang Biwu looked at Lu Xiangsheng, nodded, and said, "Okay! Then I'll send you! Lu Xiangsheng squinted his eyes again and said, "Master Hou, if you send Gongzi too......"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he understood that the so-called reason for sending his only son away was to show that he was absolutely loyal to the Ming Emperor and sent his only son to participate in the counterinsurgency.

Now facing the pressure of the enemy chieftain Dorgon's troops, as a feudal official, he can defend the land for the country as a priority, and he should not only keep the land but also worry about the king's father. Break the Qing army first, and then use the main force to go south to rebel.

This play is done. Zhang Biwu had to send another letter to Li Dingguo. I hope that Li Dingguo will not fight with Sun Kewang. Everyone gave in.

The idea is good, the reality may not be satisfactory, one very simple thing, once Sun Kewang has to kill Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo will not resist, waiting for Sun Kewang to kill him?

Zhang Biwu sent spies to continue to inquire about the situation of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and at the same time, he received that Li Yan and Lin Yangcheng had already led the army back. Just the news that is about to arrive in the army.

Zhang Biwu didn't want Li Yan and Lin Chengcheng to come to him with 30,000 horses, so he ordered them to turn north to Datong to guard against the invasion of Mongolia and build defensive measures. Key areas must be tightly defended so that the enemy will not have an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Presumably, Dolgon will not take the initiative to provoke, but to collect the empty Guangdong and Guangxi after Li Dingguo leaves, so as to unite with Wu Sangui.

That's right! As Zhang Biwu expected, as soon as Hong Chengchou heard that Li Dingguo had withdrawn his troops and returned to Anlong Mansion in Guizhou. He quickly sent troops to seize the territory. At the same time, Wu Sangui will also actively get closer to Hong Chengchou and others. Likely, it is better to isolate all the anti-Qing forces, and not let them be confused.

As soon as the news of Li Dingguo's march to Guizhou came, Sun Kewang actively prepared for war, and he staked all his capital to fight to the death with Li Dingguo!

At this time, Sun Kewang had to kill the eighteen ministers of Emperor Yongli first, so as to prevent future troubles forever! How to say it, it was also the so-called difficulty of these eighteen people's so-called anxious monarch father, who gave Li Dingguo a blood edict, asked Li Dingguo to raise troops to attack, and also summoned Zhang Biwu and others to come.

In case Sun Kewang is in a big war with Li Dingguo and others, it will not be good for the eighteen ministers to do internal response! Of course, you have to get rid of the eighteen ministers first.

In order to curry favor with Sun Kewang, Wen'an Hou Ma Jixiang reported to Sun Kewang that the eighteen ministers conspired to kill Sun Kewang, so far, the matter was exposed, Sun Kewang sent his henchman Zheng Guozhao scholar Wu Zhenyu and other eighteen people, and the eighteen ministers assumed the responsibility of the conspiracy in order to protect the Yongli Emperor.

Sun Kewang was convicted of "stealing treasures and bullying the masses and harming the good", and gave Wu Zhenyu to hang himself, which was actually hanged, and the internal supervisor Zhang Fulu, Quan Weiguo, and the Criminal Department executed Zhang Zhen and the three of them, and the rest were all executed.

Before the execution, the ministers were righteous and awe-inspiring, knelt down to the north to worship the Yongli Emperor's palace, and wrote a desperate poem, calmly and righteously. Sun Kewang sent people to bury the remains in Beiguan Racecourse, which is the prison of eighteen people.

These eighteen ministers are Wu Zhenyu, a scholar, Zhang Yi, a military officer, Jiang Qichang, Li Kaiyuan, a minister of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Da, Yang Zhong, a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zhao Gengyu, a Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, Cai Ji, a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Zheng Yunyuan, Marquis of Wu'an, Zhou Yunji, Zhou Yunji, an imperial historian of Jiangxi Province, Li Ji, Zhu Yizhu, Hu Shirui, an imperial historian of Fujian Province, Zhu Dongdan of Wuxuan Langzhong, Ren Douxu of Zhongshu, Yi Shijia, Zhang Fulu, and Quan Weiguo.

Now that he has got rid of the traitor, Sun Kewang can deal with Li Dingguo with all his body and mind, but he doesn't know that he killed these famous ministers, but he buried the bitter fruit of defeat for him.

Sun Kewang dispatched 100,000 horses! Brought in to fight against Li Dingguo, who was only 30,000 people. Sun Kewang can be said to have won the battle, after all, there is so much difference in strength, but he is wrong!

At the beginning of the battle, Liu Wenxiu wrote to Sun Kewang, hoping that he would focus on the overall situation and not attack each other with Li Dingguo. It should be considerate of each other!

But how could Sun Kewang listen? He still immediately led the army to storm Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo only had to hold on, and Sun Kewang's army would collapse.

How can I say that most of these people are soldiers of the Great Western Army, and the soldiers of the Great Western Army don't want to kill each other!

And your grandson Kewang has obviously served the Ming Dynasty as the lord, but he wants to usurp the throne, and the persecution of Emperor Yongli is too much! and killed eighteen extremely prestigious ministers, how can the hearts of the people not be lost?

140,000 soldiers unanimously spurned Sun Kewang, and everyone was useless, and Sun Kewang was naturally defeated by Li Dingguo.

Many of Sun Kewang's subordinates have defected to Li Dingguo, like this, how can Sun Kewang be undefeated?

For example, Bai Wenxuan, who is also Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, is one of the four kings, first fell to Li Dingguo, and Ma Weixing, the chief general of Sun's left army, led his troops to defect, and after Bai Wenxuan's joint troops directly copied Sun Kewang's formation, he broke several battalions, and many soldiers took off their uniforms and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Welcome King Jin!" "Return to the King of Jin!"

Since then, the morale of the army has changed, and Sun Kewang has no chance of winning, so he can only escape with his cronies' fifty horsemen. After the 100,000 horses were defeated, only 50 horsemen remained, and they were defeated!

In Sun Kewang's army, there is a partial general - Yue Zhicheng! Yes! It was Yue Zhicheng who followed Zhang Xianzhong when he was shot to death.

Yue Zhicheng has always abided by Zhang Xianzhong's last words, and he wants to give his treasure to the most suitable candidate. Who will be this candidate?

Of course, the first choice is Onishi, but unfortunately, the rest of Onishi, even if it is Sun Kewang, Zhang Xianzhong's designated heir, is unreliable and cannot give him money.

And Li Dingguo originally thought that he could, but now that he and Sun Kewang can't coordinate, it seems that the Qing army can't keep up with Zhang Biwu.

Especially if he didn't know the overall situation, he actually obeyed Yongli's edict and returned to his division to fight with Sun Kewang, and Li Dingguo didn't kill Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo should think of killing him, if he didn't kill him and let him escape, Sun Kewang knew the inside story of Yungui very well, and if he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would be a fatal blow to the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou.

On the contrary, Zhang Biwu is really eloquent, his sense of the overall situation is very good, and only he can drive the Tartar out of the army.

What's more, isn't the person who avenged Zhang Xianzhong Zhang Biwu? He defeated Hauge, and when Hauge returned, he was condemned by Dorgon and put to death! As for Yabulan who shot Zhang Xianzhong, he was also killed by Zhang Biwu, so he sent Yabulan's head to pay tribute to Zhang Xianzhong's spirit in the sky! The soldiers of the Great Western Army were deeply grateful to Zhang Biwu for doing so.

Zhang Biwu is indeed the most suitable candidate. After Yue Zhicheng thought of this, he decided that he was going to leave here and go to Henan.

Therefore, at this time of great calamity, the arrival of Yue Zhicheng will bring great help to Zhang Biwu, and Zhang Xianzhong's treasure will allow Zhang Biwu to get greater help.

Originally, Li Dingguo didn't want to kill Sun Kewang yet, as long as he sincerely repented, everyone could still join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty again. But he didn't expect Sun Kewang to be too small-bellied, he couldn't swallow this breath, he had to take revenge, so he ran to surrender to Hong Chengchou and asked Hong Chengchou to lend him troops for revenge.

Seems to be like this, Sun Kewang is really ruined. Li Dingguo welcomed Emperor Yongli to Kunming and said that he would protect Emperor Yongli in the future.

It's just that Li Dingguo's hard-earned territory was lost all of a sudden, if it weren't for Sun Kewang's one thing, he could have contacted Zhang Biwu to do a big job, and everything became a cake.

In today's ending, Li Dingguo knew that the only way to do it was to keep the land of Guizhou and Yunnan first, and wait for the opportunity to send troops again, after all, with the army of Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui combined, it was difficult for him to achieve victory by sending troops.

Sun Kewang told Hong Chengchou all the truth and fiction of Yungui, and Hong Chengchou felt that he should take this opportunity to attack the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and eliminate Li Dingguo and Yongli. Now in the eyes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Dingguo has become the most threatening figure under Zhang Biwu, and if he is eliminated, Zhang Biwu will be alone.

However, Li Dingguo is ready to defend Yungui to the death, which will bury Yungui, if he takes offense as defense, this is the best strategy.

Zhang Biwu has been probing the situation on Li Dingguo's side, and he knows that Li Dingguo's situation is very critical, and as for Zheng Chenggong and Shi Kefa, they are also seen to death, they can't move, so no one can save them.

And what about Zhang Biwu? Dolgon stared at it stubbornly, not giving Zhang Biwu a chance to leave at all, and the iron cavalry on the Mongolian side also went south, and Li Yan was leading men and horses to resist. (To be continued......)
