Huang Degong did not obey military orders for him, and there was no way, most of his soldiers and horses protected His Majesty in Huizhou Mansion, and there were no descendants in Huguang.

Jiang Tianyi is a protégé of Jin Sheng, and Jin Sheng holds the command of the Nanzhili Righteous Army, and is one of the most powerful ministers in the Hongguang court.

Huang Degong also understood that the Hongguang court could not do without Jin Sheng's support, and in order to show respect, he personally wrote to Jin Sheng, asking Jin Sheng to order Jiang Tianyi to lead an army to attack the Ming army in De'an Province.

His letter was quickly sent to Jin Sheng, and after Jin Sheng read it, he didn't understand Huang Degong's behavior.

In Jin Sheng's view, Huang Degong was a bastard in the past, but he led his troops to fight the Qing army in Wuhu and was the minister of the humerus.

and the Qing army in various parts of Nanzhili continued to fight, and never got rid of the carboxylation and surrendered, and it was an out-and-out general, why did it have to start a war with Ling Jingyang?

After thinking about it, he decided to value peace, and took his soldiers to meet Huang Degong, trying to persuade Huang Degong not to engage in infighting.

Huang Degong is actually very aggrieved, and the Hongguang Imperial Court only has five mansions in Nanzhili, Huizhou, Chizhou, Ningguo, Anqing, and Luzhou.

The territory of the Hongguang court is pitifully small, to the east is the power of King Lu, to the south is the territory of Emperor Longwu, to the west is Huguang and Jiangxi, and Huguang is the territory of He Tengjiao.

Jiangxi was under the orders of the Hongguang court, but there were not many soldiers and horses, and there was no natural danger, and Emperor Hongguang wanted to retreat to Nanchang Mansion.

But the ministers are reluctant to go to Nanchang Mansion, if they go to Nanchang Mansion, what will happen to the land and wealth in Nanzhili?

Under the obstruction of the ministers, Emperor Hongguang was forced to continue to nest in Congshan Pass, Huizhou Prefecture, but Emperor Hongguang was unwilling to be so aggrieved, so Huang Degong opened up territory in the northwest direction, and turned the Guangdong part of Huguang into the Hongguang court.

There are two parts of the soldiers and horses of the Hongguang court, one part is the town soldiers of Huang Degong, who lost most of the soldiers and horses in several major battles with the Qing army, and many generals surrendered to the Qing army with their troops.

At this time, there were more than 9,000 people left in Huang Degong's army, and he later recruited troops in Nanzhili, with more than 30,000 people under his command.

The other soldiers and horses were the rebel army commanded by Jin Sheng, Wu Yingji and others, and the rebel army had more than 200,000 troops, but most of them were peasants and had low combat effectiveness.

Because of the lack of troops, Huang Degong did not have enough troops to go to Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion, and he kept ordering Jiang Tianyi to lead the righteous army to attack Huguang in the name of the military department.

But Jiang Tian didn't listen to the announcement until Jin Sheng came to his military camp, and as soon as the two met, Huang Degong didn't give Jin Sheng a face.

Jin Sheng was in the Huang Degong military camp, and he was also happy.

Because he saw Ma Shiying, this minister, once again controlling the court, how could he not be angry?

Ma Shiying also couldn't see Jin Sheng, a retired old man, pulled up a team of rebels, and returned to the court, so that he was no longer the same in the court.

But Ma Shiying also saw the tragedy of Shi Kefa, if reinforcements were sent from Nanjing City to reinforce Yangzhou City, maybe Shi Kefa would not have been martyred.

He saw that Jin Sheng didn't pay attention to him, so he pretended not to see it, Huang Degong was very arrogant, and said to Jin Sheng: "Master Jin, did you let Jiang Tianyi not move?" ”

Jin Sheng nodded lightly, indicating that he ordered it, and he asked Huang Degong rhetorically, why did he insist on attacking Huguang?

He also deliberately emphasized that Huang Degong would not attack before, and he had to wait until Ling Jingyang led his troops from Shanxi to Huguang, thousands of miles along the way

Isn't it a deliberate attempt to provoke a civil war when attacking again?

Huang Degong did not respond to him directly, but said that the Qing army was about to go south, and it would be intolerable if he did not grab territory at this time.

"Then you went to rob Jiangbei of Jiannu, why did you have to attack Ling Jingyang?"

Ma Shiying said: "Isn't it that you can't beat Jiannu, you need to grab territory to expand your power, and when you have the territory, the soldiers and horses become stronger, you can go to grab the Jiannu territory." ”

"Ridiculous, shameless."

Jin Sheng scolded Ma Shiying angrily, and Ma Shiying was not weak, and scolded Jin Sheng: "Jin Sheng, you have hundreds of thousands of righteous troops, why don't you go north and recover the capital?" ”

He also heard the news that the Qing army was heading south, but in his opinion, the Qing army's primary attack target was the Chongzhen court in Shanxi, as well as the Shaanxi Dashun army and the Daxi army in Henan.

Of these three troops, only the Chongzhen court was weak, and the other two were superior in strength, which could greatly inflict damage on the Qing army.

When the Qing army was exhausted in Jiangbei, he commanded the Ming army in Jiangnan to cross the Yangtze River and recover the Central Plains.

This is also because he did not agree to attack Huguang, Huang Degong saw that he was resolute, so he gave up the plan to attack Ling Jingyang, and decided to lead his troops to attack Yingtianfu and recapture the southern capital.

At this time, Yingtianfu was garrisoned by King Lu's army, and King Lu swaggered to live in Yingtianfu a month ago, as if he was the Son of Heaven.

This made the Hongguang court unbearable, and the Longwu court couldn't bear it, and the two courts decided to join forces to expel King Lu.

This is a top-secret plan, only the two emperors and a very small number of powerful ministers know about it, even Jin Sheng does not know about this plan.

King Lu had 90,000 soldiers and horses in Yingtianfu, and he was not afraid of the Hongguang court at all, but he was very afraid of the Zheng family army of the Longwu court, and the Zheng family's naval division was powerful and could land in the coastal area at any time and raid Nanjing City.

He used his elite soldiers and strong generals to defend against Hongguang and Longwu's attacks.

The two imperial courts of Hongguang and Longwu also used most of their forces to attack King Lu, and the three armies broke out in a fierce civil war in mid-March, and the last essence of the Ming army was consumed in Yingtianfu.

The Ming army in Jiangnan fought hard, and the Qing army was also ready for battle, and under the leadership of the three princes of Azig, Duoduo and Bolo, they launched an attack on Shanxi and Henan.

Azig and the Dashun army, the Ming army were at war, and his troops and horses took the lead in attacking, attacking Shanxi from Datong and Baoding, targeting the Dashun army of Taiyuan Prefecture and the Chongzhen court of Pingyang Prefecture.

The Qing army was violent, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, they all killed people when they saw them, and robbed them when they had something.

There were hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Pingyang Prefecture, and Zhu Youzhen ordered Wu Dading, Mei Shifeng and other generals to lead the army to resist the Qing army's attack in the eastern part of Pingyang Prefecture.

The Ming army outnumbered the attacking Qing army, and at the beginning the Ming army officers and men united as one, with great courage and the Qing army to fight in the field, wanting to defeat the Qing army in the field.

But the two armies opened their positions, and the Ming army was beaten by the Qing army in the field battle, and after losing tens of thousands of troops, they had to retreat to the city and defend the Qing army with the city wall.

Wu Dading and Mei Shifeng were stationed in the northeast of Pingyang Province and the eastern city respectively, and were divided and surrounded by the Qing army.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, who was in Yicheng, couldn't sit still, and his suspicious and suspicious personality broke out again, and he issued a holy order a day, asking Wu Dading and Mei Shi

Feng launched a counterattack and expelled the Qing army from Binh Duong.

The Ming army, which was surrounded by the Qing army, where did it still have the courage to fight with the Qing army in the field, regardless of His Majesty's holy decree, and was determined to hide in the city and garrison, the Ming army was stationed in five cities in the northeast of Pingyang Prefecture, and the Ming army in each city could not avoid the battle.

The Qing army that attacked Wu Dading was led by Shang Kexi, and Shang Kexi did not have enough troops to attack, even if he captured the city, he would lose countless soldiers and horses.

So he began to persuade the surrender with silver and high-ranking officials, I have to say that the Qing army's persuasion to surrender was very effective, three of the five cities were surrendered by the defenders, and the Qing army not only captured the three cities without blood, but also got tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers.

Wu Dading saw that the Qing army attacked the city, subdued the surrendered troops, and was forced to give up the defense, led the troops to break through, and fought bloody battles all the way, from the northeast border of Pingyang Province, and successfully broke through to Yicheng.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and when they returned to Yicheng, Zhu Youzhen finally came to his senses, the Qing army was still so strong, and the Ming army was still a group of Ao Bao.

He comforted Wu Dading, encouraged him to continue to lead the troops, and entrusted the important task of defending Yicheng to Wu Dading, Wu Dading did not disappoint Zhu Youzhen, and before the Qing army had yet to kill Yicheng, he took the troops to the strong wall outside the city to clear the field, and all the garrisons around the city were withdrawn to Yicheng.

In the entire Pingyang Prefecture area, only Mei Shifeng led his troops to garrison the border line between Pingyang Prefecture and Qinzhou, relying on border defense and going back and forth with the Qing army.

But the main force of the Qing army's attack was not here, after attracting 70,000 soldiers and horses of Mei Shifeng's department, Azig Ling Shang Kexi led 150,000 troops to attack Yicheng, and he personally led 70,000 elite soldiers to attack Taiyuan Mansion, and the spearhead was directed at Ningwuguan in Taiyuan Prefecture.

The guard of Ningwu Pass will be the first of the highest ranks of the Dashun Army, he went to Henan after Li went to Henan, and after Zhang Neng returned to Shaanxi, he became the leader of Ningwu Pass, and Li Zicheng also attached great importance to the defense of Ningwu Pass.

Add 10,000 troops to Ningwuguan, and order Gao Yigong to attack the Qing army's logistics supply line in Shaanxi, at this time Ningwuguan has more than 20,000 defenders and 1,000 horses.

Gao Yigong did not live up to Li Zicheng's expectations, and trained his troops at Ningwuguan day and night to deal with the Qing army's attack.

At the beginning of April, Azig led his troops to detain Ningwu, Gao Yigong's troops were guarded, and the Qing army used 50 red-coated cannons to bombard Ningwu Pass.

The Dashun army has adapted to the artillery of the Qing army, the Qing army blew up the city wall during the day, and repaired it at night, the Qing army did not break through the city wall, so it had to attack, and the high power department defended to the death, and repelled several strong attacks by the Qing army.

The Qing army lost troops under Ningwu Pass, Azig had to change his strategy, he decided to shrink his forces, avoid fighting on both sides of the east side, and the whole army went south to Pingyang Mansion, completely eliminate the Chongzhen court, absorb the Chongzhen court to surrender troops and generals, and then attack Ningwu Pass with all his might.

Under his command, tens of thousands of Qing troops turned their heads and went to Pingyang Mansion to kill, the Qing army retreated in stride, Gao Yigong immediately asked people to rush back to Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng reported that the Qing army was attacking Pingyang Mansion in the south.

Li Zicheng became more and more mature in the battle with the Qing army, and ordered Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zong's two battalions of troops and horses to leave Yan'an Mansion and attack the Qing army's Datong Mansion, forcing the Azig army to take care of one and lose the other.

The left and right battalions led by Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi rested in Shaanxi for more than half a year, and their strength was greatly restored.

The two of them have long wanted to take revenge, especially in Shanhaiguan, they were beaten by the Qing army and the Guanning army, and the two armies each led 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals to kill Datong Mansion.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Li Zicheng thought that the two battalions of elite soldiers on the left and right could wipe out the Qing army's defenders in Datong Mansion and cut off the Qing army's rear route, but the result was that Li Zicheng was furious.
