The original Zhu Chenggong's territory was all subordinated to the Nanjing court, and Zhu Chenggong's soldiers and horses were unwilling to join the Qin and Chu civil war, so in order to avoid being taken advantage of by Sun Kewang when Zhu Chenggong withdrew his troops, Su Yan ordered to be transferred to the second town of Huguang and went south to take over the prefectures and counties of Guangdong to stabilize the situation in various places.

Soon after Zhu Chenggong arrived in Nanjing, the remnants of the Ming army in western Guangdong, who were asked by Su Yan to return to the army, also responded, and Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of the Dongge University and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Military Department, Lian Chengbi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Wang Xing, the general of Huben, and Chen Qice, the general of Linghai, arrived in Nanjing by boat to meet Su Yan and expressed their willingness to accept the moderation of the Nanjing court.

Du Yonghe, the governor of Liangguang, was a snake and a rat, waiting for the price to sell, he did not respond positively to Su Yan's request, but only used the excuse that it was inconvenient to return to Beijing to meet the prison country under the pretext that the current enemy of Kong Youde in Guangxi was inconvenient, and it was obvious that he wanted to wait for Su Yan and Sun Kewang to have a higher bargaining chip, so he would defect.

Li Mingzhong, the crown prince who was entrenched in Gaozhou, saw the situation clearly, and he wrote to Nanjing, expressing his willingness to accept the control of the imperial court, and accusing Du Yonghe of being unfavorable in the war, and almost wanting to fight in the same room, and asking the imperial court to remove Du Yonghe and Liangguang from his post as governors for the sake of the overall situation.

Although Li Mingzhong's request is also suspected of infighting, it just happened to be in line with Su Yan's intentions, loyalty is not absolute is absolute disloyalty, Su Yan doesn't have the energy to play the trick of Du Yonghe with the highest price, since the other party didn't grasp this opportunity, then he will use troops directly!

It just so happened that Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi and others arrived in Nanjing, Su Yan considered that they were all loyal to the monarch and served the country, and they were known as virtuous people, so he appointed Guo Zhiqi as the governor of Liangguang, and cooperated with the second town to stabilize the situation in Guangdong.

Subsequently, Su Yan directly announced in the name of the imperial court that Du Yonghe was dismissed from the post of governor of Liangguang, and told his subordinates to "abandon the darkness as soon as possible, return to the imperial court, and do not blame the past."

When Du Yonghe heard that Su Yan had directly dismissed him as governor of Liangguang and was going to send troops to attack him, he was dumbfounded, the plot he was thinking about was not like this, shouldn't Su Yan work hard to win him, how dare he use troops directly!

Dumbfounded, Du Yonghe hurriedly sent an envoy to express his willingness to submit to Sun Kewang's Guiyang court, hoping that Sun Kewang would be able to mobilize troops and horses to support.

But Sun Kewang had been beaten by Su Dingyuan at this time and forced to abandon Changsha, where were there enough soldiers and horses to support Du Yonghe, after he accepted Du Yonghe's submission, he had no idea of sending troops.

Du Yonghe panicked because of this, and hurriedly ordered Nanyang Bo Li Yuanyin to come and discuss with him how to deal with it next, then Li Yuanyin was already dissatisfied with Du Yonghe's style of only caring about infighting, and he directly led his own soldiers into the account and killed Du Yonghe on the spot.

Subsequently, Li Yuanyin cut off Du Yonghe's head, passed the head of the army, and returned to the Nanjing court.

After Su Yan learned the news, he immediately recruited Li Yuanyin to Nanjing, wanting to meet this famous professional murderer.

After Li Yuanyin followed his adoptive father Li Chengdong to the Ming Dynasty, he first killed Tong Yangjia, the former governor of Liangguang of the Qing court, who secretly contacted the Qing court, and then killed Yang Dafu, the Ming general who wanted to take advantage of the situation to kidnap Yongli, and Luo Chengyao, who secretly surrendered to the Qing army.

Therefore, the people of the time praised that "Yuan Yin slashed the rebel generals three times, decided the opportunity to Russia, and all of them asked to act first, and did not dedicate themselves", which is a loyal, wise and courageous talent.

However, such a loyal minister was finally abandoned by the imperial court, trapped in Yulin alone, and in despair, Li Yuanyin put on the Ming Dynasty clothes, went to the city to worship, and cried: "Your Majesty is a minister, and the minister does not live up to Your Majesty", and died after speaking.

Before traveling in his previous life, Su Yan had seen Li Yuanyin's personal biography, and when he saw Li Yuanyin's last words, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and he was full of emotion.

After Li Yuanyin was anyway, the entire territory of Guangdong was incorporated into the territory of the Nanjing Imperial Court, and Su Yan was able to directly send troops from Guangdong to attack Hunan in the north, or enter Guangxi in the west.

And after the second town entered Guangdong, Su Yan was not afraid that Sun Kewang and Kong Youde would join forces to deal with him, in fact, he even looked forward to Sun Kewang and Kong Youde uniting, so that he could detain Sun Kewang and betray the country, making Sun Kewang even more unpopular.

It's a pity that Sun Kewang also realized this, so he categorically rejected the suggestion of his staff to join forces with Kong Youde to fight against Su Yan, and after Kong Youde sent an envoy to propose joining forces, Kong Youde's envoy was killed, and the head and letter were publicly released.

Chapter 264: Guangdong Returns to Shun

Although Sun Kewang's move completely offended Kong Youde, it really won some hearts for him.

But what's the use?

The orthodox dispute between the Nanjing court and the Guiyang court still depends on real swords and guns on the battlefield to see the real chapter.

Eyes back to the frontal battlefield, Yongli six years of July 16, the Chu army under the leadership of Su Dingyuan, the governor of Huguang, several large armies besieged Changsha Mansion, although Sun Kewang, who was originally in Changsha, abandoned the city and fled, but still left the general Zhang Hu to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to hold Changsha, containing the Chu army so that it could not continue to advance westward.

The Chu army cut down trees, destroyed civilian houses, built countless ladder shield vehicles, dozens of siege rams and siege towers, and launched a formal attack on Changsha City on July 30.

On the morning of the 30th, Su Dingyuan sat outside the Liuyang Gate, attacked the Xiangchun Gate with Dingnan Hou Cao Dahao, Pingjiang Bozhang Zisheng attacked the new gate, Meihu Bo Lai Xun attacked the Zodiac Gate, and Ninghai Bo Ma Xin attacked the Xiaowu Gate, only the gates near the Xiangjiang River were not besieged.

The Chu army took the artillery bombardment of the army as the name, and with the deafening sound of artillery bombardment, the siege battle gradually began.

Because Su Yan exchanged the rewarded rocket artillery troops before leaving Wuchang, these eight rocket artillery pieces were able to go south with the army and appear in the eyes of the world for the first time outside Changsha City.

In the rumbling cannon, the Chu army suddenly rose with smoke and dust, and the flames soared into the sky, accompanied by a sharp scream, 32 rockets dragged the long tail flame out of the launcher, and rushed towards the Changsha city wall.

The soldiers of the Qin army on the city wall all looked at the new weapon that they had never seen before, and under their gaze, the 32 rockets fell into the city wall in a graceful arc in mid-air and exploded, igniting a raging fire, and the Qin soldiers on the city wall were immediately engulfed in flames, and one of the rockets even hit the powder keg placed on the city wall, causing a huge explosion.

The scene of rocket launch is very similar to the swarm of bees that were once equipped in the Ming army, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the swarm of bees was not equipped on a large scale, and in the Qin army, which basically had never seen the world, no one had seen a similar scene.

Therefore, under the blow of rocket artillery, the Qin soldiers on the wall of Liuyangmen fled in panic, until the officers killed a few people and established their authority, and the situation was stabilized.

Looking at the first shot of the rocket artillery, Su Dingyuan nodded with satisfaction, he keenly saw the power and development prospects of the rocket artillery, and said to the staff officers of the military department around him:

"The power of rocket artillery is not good, if it becomes large-scale, it will definitely be able to sweep away any enemy, and please play to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to make more such rocket artillery equipment in the army."

These staff officers who did not follow Su Yan back to Beijing nodded in agreement, agreeing with Su Dingyuan's opinion.
