On the way to the march, Li An couldn't help but sigh when he saw the fields barren and the white bones exposed. In the troubled times since ancient times, no matter who sits in the world, it is the people who suffer. As Zhang Yanghao said, "Xing, the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer. ”

Li An pointed to the bleak scene to Li Sixing next to him, and asked, "Sixing, do you think we can save this land?" ”

Li Sixing looked at it for a moment and said slowly but firmly: "Yes." Li Ang didn't say anything more after hearing this.

His own cheap son, in history, Jin Tongwu died of illness (one said to be poisoned), and Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, led the troops to join the Qing Dynasty.

Li Sixing also failed to abide by Li Dingguo's legacy, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in September of the first year of Kangxi.

In November, he sent people from Pu'er to Kunming to hand over the book, treasure, and marshal's seal left by Li Dingguo, and on December 19, he led more than 1,200 officers and soldiers and their families to Erhai to be rearranged and installed by Wu Sangui.

The Qing court awarded Li Sixing the rank of commander of the capital, and later served as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, Shaanxi Province in the Qing Dynasty.

Li Sixing has the ability, but he lacks courage, he can be a general, not a king.

At noon, a scout suddenly came to report that a group of men and horses were galloping ahead.

Li An quickly came to the front army, and Jin Tongwu was leading the soldiers to set up a formation, preparing to engage in battle.

After a while, Li An saw the group of men and horses, dressed in red mandarin duck battle jackets, only a few poor cavalry, and the rest were foot soldiers.

When Li An saw the Ming military uniform, he signaled not to do it first, and sent scouts to inquire.

The group saw a scout rushing towards them and stopped at a distance of 200 meters from Ang Lee's front army.

The scout approached and asked in a loud voice, "Which one are you waiting for?" ”

The yellow burly man in the lead hurriedly said: "Is there an army of King Jin ahead?" It would have been Wu San Province. ”

The scout was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "General Wu wait a minute, and his subordinates will go to report it." ”

After a while, Li An learned that it was Wu Sansheng who led the soldiers and horses to rendezvous.

Li An was overjoyed, this Wu San Province was originally a member of the Jin King Li Dingguo's subordinates, after Zhaozong was martyred, he carried Li Dingguo's clothes, and set up a mound for him in Menglangba.

In Lancang, they united with the Lahu people in the three provinces of Wu, and liaised with the Tusi in Yunnan and Guizhou, who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and made an appointment to resist the Qing Dynasty together.

Wu Sansheng understood that Emperor Zhaozong's father and son had been killed, and he had to set up a banner to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in order to boost morale and lay the foundation for great things. Wu Sansheng consulted with Wang Gongfu, Qi Lei and others, and jointly elected Zhu Hongzhen, a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, with the founding name Hongxing, and 1662 as the first year of Hongxing. A castle was established in Menglangba, and a simple mansion was established in the castle as a royal palace and government institutions.

In December of the first year of Hongxing (1662), Zhu Hongzhen was called the king of the Ming Dynasty in Menglangba, with Wu Sanxing as the general and the secretary of the military department, in charge of military affairs, and Wang Gongfu as the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the government.

In addition, Qi Lei is the secretary of the household department, Jin Tongwu's nephew Jin Tai is the secretary of the criminal department, Liu Wenxiu's adopted son Liu Nai is the secretary of the household department, and Wu Guoan, the nephew of Wu Sanxing, is in charge of the forbidden army. It was renamed Menglang Dam as Xinglang City.

In February of the seventh year of Hongxing (1668), Wu Sansheng led an army of 20,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, defeated the Qing army in Ning'er, and occupied Ning'er City. In April, it advanced to Kunming. In June, they fought fiercely with the Qing army, and each other won and lost. In July, less than 700 miles from the city of Kunming, the Qing army besieged the Ming army. Wu Sanxing led the army to fight hard, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they were forced to fight a bloody way to escape. The Qing army pursued closely, and the place occupied by the Ming army was taken by the Qing army.

In September, Wu Sangui sent an army to Xinglang City. In November, the two sides fought fiercely in the mountains and forests 200 miles away from Xinglang City, and the Qing army was defeated and fled in embarrassment because they were not familiar with the terrain. The column army of Wu San Province pursued, fell into an ambush again, and fled after defeat.

In this battle, neither side took advantage of anything. Wu Sanxing understood that this was not the time to settle accounts with the Qing army, and with the strength of the Ming army, it was difficult to defeat the Qing army, so he had to continue to implement the policy of rest and recuperation and wait for the opportunity.

After that, Wu Sangui was busy dealing with the Qing court's cutting of the domain, and he also knew that Xinglang's Ming army was just a fish that slipped through the net of the Ming Dynasty and couldn't afford much turmoil, so he left it behind.

In the twelfth year of Hongxing (1673), Wu Sangui openly opposed the Qing Dynasty and set off the rebellion of the three feudatories. Wu Sanxing understood that this was a good opportunity to revive the Ming Dynasty, so he took Na Xilie's nephews Nahe, Naqing and others to go on the Northern Expedition in the spring of the second year.

In March 1674, the Ming army was surrounded by several Tusi who hated Na Xilie, Wu Sanxing was poisoned by arrows and died, and the Ming army was forced to withdraw to Xinglang City.

It can be said that Wu Sansheng is Li Dingguo's most loyal and brave general, and even Jin Tongwu is not as good as Wu Sanxing.

How could Li An not be overjoyed when he learned that it was Wu Sanxing.

After a while, Li An saw Wu Sanxing, only to see that his armor was in tatters, his hat and helmet were torn, and the yellow fat horse under the seat was also thin and miserable.

As soon as Wu Sanxing saw Li An, he immediately stepped forward and hugged Li An tightly and cried loudly, "King, the last general has finally found you!" The horses were exhausted all the way, and the food had been cut off for two days." Wu Sanxing choked up.

Li An's eyes were moist, and he said movingly: "You have worked hard in the three provinces, you eat first, and then you will talk after eating." Then he ordered Jin Tongwu to send food as soon as possible and let the whole army rest on the spot.

After a while, Jin Tongwu led people to send food, and Wu San Province immediately arranged for people to bury the pot and make rice.

The fragrant thick porridge was carried up, and the soldiers rushed forward, and Wu Sanxing shouted when he saw this: "I don't want to eat it, do you?" Line up for Lao Tzu and come one by one."

Wu Sanxing had a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and all the soldiers lined up obediently when they heard the scolding. Soon, the local soldiers and Wu Sanxing all held bowls of hot thick porridge and ate them in large gulps.

Li An took a cursory look at the team of Wu San Province, there were about 4,000 people, their clothes were in tatters, and their weapons were also very rudimentary.

Li An felt that there was too much to do, to continue the Ming Dynasty, to manufacture new weapons, to improve gunpowder, to reform the military system, logistics support, to improve the treatment of non-commissioned soldiers, and to expand the team. His head grew big when he thought about it, alas! Take your time,

After Wu Sanxing finished eating, he said to Li An: "King, where are we going now?" , When we came over, we met Bai Wenxuan, he wanted to surrender to the clear, but the last general persuaded him."

Li An knew that Bai Wenxuan had finally been cleared.

On the way to the Qing Dynasty, Bai Wenxuan's department met the three provincial departments of Wu from Mengding.

All the horses in Wu's camp had been killed, and the generals were still seeking to join Li Dingguo on foot, despite the hardships.

Bai Wenxuan had a good conscience, and said with tears in his eyes: "I am responsible for the emperor and His Royal Highness Jin!" The general can lead his troops here, so that I have the help of Taishan. ”

Wu Sansheng judged from the direction of the march of Bai Wenxuan's troops that his subordinates intended to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he deliberately threatened: "Those who surrendered in Yunnan are resentful, and they have no choice, and people have clear minds, so my generation is willing to come here." ”

The soldiers of the Wenxuan Department were very moved when they heard this, and Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng also considered their own future, worried that they would not be properly resettled after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, and no longer insisted on going to Kunming to surrender.

At this time, it happened that Wang Gongfu, a native of Huizhou, was thousands of miles away to bring Zheng Chenggong's appointment to meet the teacher, and Bai Wenxuan decided to settle in Xibo and send Su to Mubang to contact Li Dingguo.

After more than a month, he has not received a reply from Dingguo. Wu Sangui, the king of the western part of Qingping, got the news and sent his generals Ma Ning and the generals Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, and Qi Sansheng of the Southern Ming Dynasty to lead troops to chase Bai Wenxuan, and the two armies met in Mengyang.

The soldiers of the Wenxuan Department set up camp in the mountains and remained on guard. Bai Wenxuan has maintained a deep friendship with Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others for a long time (they are likely to be Hui), and he is reluctant to meet each other.

Ma Bao rode into the Wenxuan camp with Wu Sangui's letter and persuaded him to surrender.

Bai Wenxuan finally decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, followed by 499 officials, more than 3,800 native soldiers, 3,260 horses, and 12 elephants.

On December 18 of this year, he arrived in Kunming from Meng Mi. In November of the first year of Kangxi (1662), the Qing court enshrined Bai Wenxuan Chengengong.

Bai Wenxuan still had several thousand elite soldiers when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and if he could work hand in hand with Li Dingguo, Yunnan's anti-Qing struggle would certainly be able to persist for a longer period of time, and his decision to reduce the Qing Dynasty would undoubtedly add many difficulties to Li An's anti-Qing resistance.

Ang Lee to Wu San Provincial Road; "Three provinces, let's go to Jingxian now, the king of Siam promised to give us assistance, and this king plans to let the second son Li Sixing go to marry. When the Siamese soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses of the Xuanwei Division in the car, the soldiers and horses of Ma Jiugong, plus our soldiers and horses, the combined army can be a big thing, what do you think of the three provinces? ”

Wu Sanxing arched his hand and said: "What the king says to do, the last general will do it." The king said that whoever he striking, the last general will smite."

Li An laughed, patted Wu Sanxing's shoulder and said, "Okay, this king has three provinces such as Liu Xuande's Guan Yu." ”

Then Li An's soldiers and horses and Wu San's soldiers and horses joined forces and marched towards the scenic line.
