After the fifteenth day of the first month of the forty-seventh year of Chongzhen, the fighting spirit became strong in the territory of Xiangyang Mansion, Wu Yingxiong's old nest. Originally, the gentry Li Min in the Xiangyang area was really not interested in Wu Sangui, an old traitor, in his anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and his enthusiasm to serve in the army was not high. The orders issued by Wu Yingxiong to conscript troops and requisition food are also relied upon if they can be relied upon, and pushed if they can be pushed.

Even after Wu Yingxiong offered the favorable conditions of "joining the army and dividing Chuantian", not many people in Xiangyang were willing to devote themselves to the old Wu family's cause of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty". This is also a matter of course, the land in Xiangyang Mansion is not very tense at the moment, and Wu Sangui's words are too stinky. Few people in Xiangyang would believe that Wu Sangui's anti-Qing thing could be done, and if he followed him, he would definitely get bad things in the future.

But with the news of Wu Yingxiong Ke Nanyang, Po Wuguan, Tun Ba Shang, Trapping Chang'an, and Surrounding the Qing Emperor came one by one, the Xiangyang gentry Li Min, who were still skeptical of Wu Sangui's great cause, also had to admit that the matter of providence was really unpredictable, and an old traitor like Wu Sangui, who was full of evil, actually had to get the mandate of heaven!

In the streets and alleys of Xiangyang, people began to talk about when the Wu family's army could kill Kangxi, and then take Guanzhong, collect the Central Plains, cross the big river, and go straight to Huanglong! Although no one still regards Wu Sangui as "Wu Wumu", there are already people who are saying something about "swallowing thousands of miles like Wu"!

In short, for the Xiangyang people who have lived next door to the land of Guanzhong, which is better than the world, I don't know how many generations, it seems that Guanzhong and the Central Plains should be. You can win the world, right? Unless it's the unlucky guy like Li Zicheng.

But now that the Great Qing Kingdom outside the customs has entered the customs, who else can pit Wu Sangui again?

Since God is so blind, then the gentry Li Min here in Xiangyang will follow and place bets. Although they can't compare to the "Yuan Cong" who called all the way from Yunnan, it is still very likely that they will follow the trend!

Therefore, as soon as the first month of the forty-seventh year of Chongzhen passed, the public opinion of the people in Xiangyang City Jing completely turned to support Wu!

"Hey! Did you hear that? The 100,000 army of the prince has surrounded the city of Xi'an, and the Manchu Emperor Xiao Mazi is now trapped in the city, and he is desperate, and he will probably be helped out of the coffin after a while! ”

"As soon as Kangxi surrendered, did the Manchus die? Is this world the world of the Han people again? ”

"That's not it, after all, the Manchu Jingshi is in Beijing, and they love Xinjueluo's family and there are still many princes, without a Kangxi, they will push another 'rare' to be the emperor and continue to struggle."

"I can't struggle for long. You don't know yet, do you? His Royal Highness the King of the West has arrived in our Xiangyang! With him, there were tens of thousands of strong troops of the Western Army, and as soon as Kangxi surrendered, the King of the West and the prince should join forces to sweep the Central Plains. When the time comes, the prince will go to Shanxi, the king of the west will fight in Zhongzhou, and finally meet together in Beijing! I think at most until the end of the year, the world should be surnamed Wu! ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Of course! Didn't you notice that there were soldiers everywhere in and out of Xiangyang City? The prince had already taken away all the soldiers in Xiangyang, where did these soldiers come from now? And you didn't notice that these soldiers are quite old, and they either speak with a northwest accent or a Liaodong accent! This is not the old battalion soldier of the King of the West, what else can it be? ”

"That's right! This old battalion soldier is here, and King Wu Xi must be there. No wonder the prince has been sending troops for so long, and Xiangyang Mansion is still in order! ”

"It's all right, the Manchurians are finished, we have to follow well. A dragon can be exchanged for a talent again, right? ”

"If you can't change to Xiucai, it's good to change to a grange in Sichuan. Didn't it say that Ding alone could be given 200 acres of land if he joined the army and went on the expedition? I have eight sons, and with me, I will join the army together, which is 1,800 acres! ”

"Hey, you're amazing!"

"Hehe, this is a big fight!"

"Yes, yes, you have to fight big, who told this god that he doesn't open it, what am I saying? Now the old king of the west is coming to heaven and earth to work together! ”

The eyes of the people of Xiangyang are still bright, although Wu Sangui is not a good bird, but now he is indeed lucky with shit!

His bear son Wu Yingxiong was reckless, and he happened to be reckless on Kangxi's weakness, and Kangxi was Wu Yingxiong's "good opponent".

Obviously, there are still many Eight Banners soldiers who are on vacation in Xi'an City to fight. If you fight, you may be able to force Wu Yingxiong back. After all, it was only Wu Yingxiong who came, not fierce people like Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui who were good at toughness. But Kangxi just wanted to play a big game of chess and wanted to make Wu Yingxiong's dumplings. And Wu Sangui happened to be in Xiangyang City at this time!

If he follows up and goes to the Central Plains now, he will really be as angry as Wu, and he may be able to push it to the city of Beijing!

Moreover, the closer he was to Beijing, the stronger his power became, and the northern gentry, who had been waiting on the sidelines, would join his rebellion. So with every step to the north, the strength will be greater. When he advances to the city of Beijing, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop him.

But he is Wu Sangui!

And there is a Li Zicheng next to him, Li Zicheng is squatting next to him, can you let Wu Sangui rest assured that the Northern Expedition?

In addition, Wu Yingxiong is indeed too aggressive, the back road is empty, the supply line is too long, and it is difficult to transport heavy grain and grass!

Of course, there is also the most important point, that is, Wu Sangui's "plan to destroy Li" has been arranged!

Not only has Wu Sangui prepared 25,000 elite veterans in Xiangyang City, but he is still full of energy, and he is holding his breath, wanting to give future generations a piece of ancestral wealth!

Moreover, Wu Guogui also led ten guards with a total of 50,000 troops to the south bank of the Miluo River, just waiting for Wu Sangui to give an order, and he was going to attack Yuezhou in a big way!

In addition, Wu Guogui's son Wu Shijue also brought Wu Sangui's "support" from Wang Fuchen!

"Grandpa, Uncle Wang said that as long as your old man can guarantee that the fifth brother (Shi Fan) will be the emperor's grandson, he will lead 30,000 Cantonese troops to the north to help our family fight the world! Oh, it's not that he wants to interfere in our family's family affairs, but Shi Kai and the fifth brother and Xiao Gang are really good, and Shi Kai is a lifesaver for their brothers and sisters. In the future, only when the fifth brother becomes the emperor, can Uncle Wang's father and son rest assured. ”

Wang Fuchen's request also seems to be quite concerned about Wu Shilin's death, Wang Shikai is indeed inseparable, so Wu Sangui's other grandsons became emperors, in order to maintain the dignity of the Wu dynasty, they will have to find trouble with Wang Zhongxiao in the future, except for this Wu Shifan.

Because Wu Shifan's own life was saved by Wang Zhongxiao who was responsible for killing his head! And if he can finally correct the throne as Wu Yingxiong's concubine, Wang Zhongxiao will contribute greatly. Even Wang Zhongxiao's participation in forcing Wu Shilin to death was also a prerequisite for Wu Shifan to ascend the throne.

Otherwise, Wu Shifan is a concubine, not the eldest son, how can he replace his brother-in-law on the throne?

However, it is really difficult to say whether Wu Shifan will be able to ascend the throne in the future. Because Wu Yingxiong still has two sons-in-law and Princess Jianning who are detained by the Qing court, if they and Princess Jianning are released, how can Wu Shifan's grandson be kept?

And once Princess Jianning's son ascends the throne, Wang Zhongxiao's trouble will be big

Wu Sangui stroked his beard and pondered for a while, but he also had a little headache.

Because he can't guarantee that Wu Shifan will definitely be able to ascend the throne in the future. Even if he determined Wu Shifan's status as the grandson when he was alive, what about after his death? Princess Jianning is the empress, and Wu Yingxiong is the emperor. And Princess Jianning also has a life-saving grace for Wu Shifan!

"Okay," Wu Sangui pondered for a long time, and still decided to coax Wang Fuchen, "The old man will write him a handwritten letter as a guarantee. In addition, Shi Jue, you tell Wang Fuchen again that Shi Fan has a great talent for fighting, and he was the first to attack Yunyang last time! At this time, he was the vanguard of breaking through the military pass and entering the pass, and he also led his troops to trap Chang'an, and most of the credit for capturing and killing Emperor Kangxi was none other than him. Such a good saint grandson is not a grandson, who else can the old man pass on the throne to? ”

Wu Shijue also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, now Wang Fuchen has driven Sun Yanling to Lianzhou to attach to the fourth grandfather, and his 30,000 army has now entered Hunan, and it is stationed in Chenzhou, and it can go north at any time!" Where do you think he should march towards? ”

"Let him go to Changde and Lizhou to Jingzhou. The old man is waiting for him in Jingzhou! Then march to Wuchang together! ”

"Marching into Wuchang?" Wu Shijue was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, after we take Jingzhou and Yuezhou, won't we go north to the Central Plains?" ”

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Before going north, you still have to have Huguang. Li Zicheng is still in Wuchang, I don't dare to go north! ”

"But the uncle and the fifth brother are there"

Wu Sangui waved his hand: "The war in Shaanxi and Gansu not only has Ying Xiong and Shi Fan, but also Ying Qi!" There are 100,000 people in one of their combined army, and they are afraid that they will not be able to take Xi'an? ”

"Wu Yingqi has 50,000 people, Wu Yingxiong also has 50,000 people, and Hanzhong has Wu Sangui's 50,000 people. 150,000 people surrounded Xi'an to fight, this, this. Why doesn't the emperor run away? Is he confused? ”

"Alas, why is this emperor so confused? How could he stick to Xi'an? ”

"If he is not confused, can the world come to this point?"

"That's right! Lord, you have to think clearly! The soldiers in your hands are the last capital of the Qing Dynasty, if they are all folded in, the Qing Dynasty will be fine."

"That's right, it's going to be folded in, and the Qing Dynasty doesn't even have the capital to retreat to the outside of the customs!"

Beijing, Prince Yu's Mansion. At this time, a group of loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty are criticizing Kangxi in the face of Yuwang Fuquan and the soldiers and horses of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces, and Suo Etu, the minister of military affairs who has the right to act cheaply!

But then again, Suo Etu himself thinks Kangxi is a fool! Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for his life. He finally expelled Mingzhu from the court, and after a few days of being happy, he had to run away, and he was depressed when he thought about it.

But you can't run either!

Now the armies of Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingqi, and Wu Sangui are about to gather in Guanzhong!

How will this battle be fought?

Is that the road behind the passer-by? It's millions of Ganshan and Li people! Wu Sangui has an entire fertile wasteland in Sichuan that can be divided, and can't he exchange hundreds of thousands of stones of millet from Ganshan?

When the time comes, people will be able to beat Kangxi into the first emperor by eating millet and attacking the city!

Fuquan was also dumbfounded, he was better at fighting than Kangxi, so he knew that there were almost 50,000 or 60,000 Qing troops against 150,000 Wu troops on the Ganshan side, and the Wu army could still get the support of the people of Ganshan.

This advantage is in the enemy, and the Qing Dynasty is going to end!

This can't be done, the Qing Dynasty can't do without the emperor.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, "Suo Etu, follow this king into the palace and take you to meet your old acquaintance!" ”

"Huh!" Suo Etu hurriedly saluted, and then while thinking about who to see in the palace, he followed Fu all over the body and went to the palace together.

But at this moment, he would never have thought of who the old acquaintance who was waiting for him to see in the palace was!

"Boom Boom"

Early this morning, the rumbling sound of artillery crossed the tall and sturdy city walls of Nanjing and reached the sky above the "world's largest metropolis" perched on the banks of the Yangtze River.

The sound of this cannon also made this prosperous and wealthy city nervous all of a sudden!

In the Dingwang Mansion in the center of Nanjing, the third prince Zhu, who had just discussed the philosophy of life with Yang Ziyun in simple terms, seemed to be frightened, and suddenly jumped up from the bed.

"Where? Where? Where's the gun? ”

"King, it seems that the northeast direction of the city should be around the Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate!" Yang Ziyun, the little woman, was quite calm, and comforted the third prince Zhu with a smile, "Our Nanjing is much more reliable than Beijing!" There are the protection of Xuanwu Lake, Purple Mountain and Xiaolingwei, the section from Taiping Gate to Zhengyang Gate is solid, and there is the protection of Qinhuai River, Changgan Canal and Yuhuatai to the west of Zhengyang Gate, and there is also the solid of Jintang. As for the Qinhuai River and Mochou Lake in the west of the city, it is directly an island and the Tartar can't go up at all. Therefore, what the Tartars can attack now is the area of Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate, and Lu Zhongtang is guarding it with a regiment training force, and it must be foolproof. ”

Nanjing City is indeed as Yang Ziyun said, it is a rare fortified city in the world. Although the terrain around Nanjing is generally relatively open, and although there are mountains and rivers, it is difficult to rely on these mountains and rivers to firmly block the enemy in the outer areas. But once the battlefield is transferred outside Nanjing, it will be a nightmare for the attacking side.

This Nanjing city is quite a big circle, and it is easy to make a city with few soldiers, but most of the Nanjing city walls are dangerous!

A short section in the north along the Yangtze River, controlling the mouth of the Qinhuai River, the city wall is also wrapped in a Lion Rock Heights, standing on the Yuejianglou platform above can command condescendingly, it is simply unobstructed!

The outer city business district in the west of the city along several waterways of the Qinhuai River is very prosperous, but this prosperity is on an "island" surrounded by water on all sides, and the island has a western wall that covers the entire inner city of Nanjing.

Before the enemy occupied this "island", they couldn't touch the city wall of Nanjing!

Moreover, this island is still surrounded by the original outer city of Nanjing, which was abandoned in the early years, but the city wall is still there, and it can still be used if it is repaired.

Now this section of the city wall has been re-defended, and it is still the "merchant group" organized by Ying Tianfu to defend it, that is, those merchants in Nanjing City, in order to protect their property from being looted by Yue Le's Qing soldiers, under the leadership of Chen Yonghua, "spontaneously" contributed money and efforts to form a group to protect themselves, and there was no need for the court of the third prince of Zhu to send a single soldier.

As for the city walls protected by Xuanwu Lake, Purple Mountain, and Xiaoling Guards in Xuanbei, with Wang Zhongxiao deployed in Xiaoling and Xiaoling Guards, the Qing army could not attack at all, and they did not dare to bypass to attack the south of Nanjing City.

Therefore, although Nanjing is quite a large castle, there is only a small section of the city wall that needs to be defended, and it is still a very strong city wall - that is the legacy left by Zhu Yuanzhang! The pedestals under the walls are made of granite quarried from quarry rocks!

Not to mention Yue Le's artillery, the later Hunan army couldn't bombard the foreign artillery of the 19th century, otherwise the Battle of Tianjing would not have lasted so long.

But the third prince Zhu was still not very relieved, he shouted loudly: "Pass on the decree of the king, King Xuandong, Lu Zhongtang, and Chen Zhongtang enter the palace!" ”

At the same moment, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin had already taken their own soldiers and quietly climbed the Taipingmen Urn City protected by Xuanwu Lake, standing on the high place of the arrow tower, holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the Qing army camp opposite Xuanwu Lake.

This Wang Zhongxiao and that Lu Sanhao turned out to be not a good thing, I thought that the two of them would fight hard with the Qing army in the northwest corner of the outer city of Nanjing, but I didn't expect them to come and let the enemy go deeper, and directly put the Qing army on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, and let the Qing army occupy Jubao Mountain, Lime Mountain, and Qixia Mountain, and now they completely gained a foothold outside Nanjing.

So it goes. It must be unfavorable to Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin!

But what the disadvantage is, the two of them can't even think of it. That's a real disadvantage!

I highly recommend a new book "Film and Television Start from Being Chased by Bai Xiuzhu"!

As soon as he crossed, he was about to be chased by the fairy sister, but Jin Yanxi couldn't be happy, because this is a cruel old society, and the sixth brother said that the country is weak and the strong will suffer, but fortunately, this is not only the world of the gold powder family, but also the mansion gate, the big dyeing workshop, Shanghai Tang, Jiuhe into the sea, Camel Xiangzi, my life and other film and television comprehensive worlds.
