Chapter 12: The Southern Ming Forces
The Great Western Army entrenched in Yunnan and Guizhou was expected to welcome the defeated and fleeing Emperor Zhu Youlang of the Southern Ming Dynasty to Anlong, Guizhou, and was named the King of Qin, and the two sides formally formed the consistent line of "Lianming and Resisting the Qing Dynasty", and the Great Western Army was renamed the Ming Army from then on.
The Qing court sent Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, and Wu Sangui to attack from the east and north in two large armies, and the three kings (Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu) decisively planned and led the Ming army formed by many ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guizhou to actively attack.
The elephant soldiers helped the Ming army regain lost territory
In 1652 AD, the sixth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Sun Kewang led the "driving front army" to sit in Yunnan and Guizhou, Liu Wenxiu's troops marched north, besieged Wu Sangui on August 9, the Qing army broke through and fled to Mianzhou, this battle killed 10,000 Qing troops, forcing Wu Sangui to defeat Baoning.
At this time, the Qing court only had an isolated city in Sichuan. Song Jie, Wen Xiujin was named the king of Nankang.
Li Dingguo personally led 80,000 cavalry and 50 war elephants to the east, and the Ming army drove the powerful war elephants trained by the Dai Tusi to charge forward, instantly crushing Kong Youde's cavalry troops who fought from the north to the south and won many victories, and the Ming army followed the war elephants all the way forward and won a great victory in Guilin.
The courtiers of the Qing court said in the recital: "Sun Kou borrowed a lot of troops." This shows that the leaders of the Great Western Army have achieved remarkable results in uniting the ethnic minorities in the southwest, and as a result, they have been extensively supplemented by soldiers.
On the fourth day of the seventh month, Kong Youde, who was canonized as the king of Dingnan by the Qing court, was broken by the Ming army, he personally killed his beloved wives, and finally died by self-immolation, and only one daughter was able to escape.

In October, Liu Wenxiu's troops continued their attack on Baoning (present-day Langzhong, Sichuan), but were defeated by Wu Sangui due to their light enemy, and the deputy general Wang Fuchen was killed.
In this battle, Liu Wenxiu's war elephant troops were almost completely annihilated, and the Qing army used large-caliber cannons to deal with elephants at that time, called ox-ear cannons. Under the very loud sound of artillery, the elephant was extremely panicked, and began to disobey the command, and ran wildly.
In the end, Liu Wenxiu rode the last war elephant and crossed the Jialing River and fled in a hurry. This is also the last time elephants appear as war elephants in the land of Sichuan.
After this battle, Sun Kewang took this opportunity to cut off Liu Wenxiu's title and dismantle his troops, which caused the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Great Western Army, and the Great Western Army was disheartened.
Li Dingguo continued his Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition, using the remnants of more than 20 war elephants to continue to charge, tying heavy stumps to the elephants, and using the momentum of the elephants to hit the city gates.
Many of the Ming generals who were still resisting joined Li Dingguo one after another, fought all the way to Hunan, northern Guangdong and western Jiangxi, and achieved the victory known as the "Great Victory of Hunan and Guizhou", recovering two prefectures, 16 counties, and about 3,000 li of land back into the hands of the Southern Ming regime, and the Qing court was greatly shocked.
In November, the Qing court sent Prince Jingjin Aixin Jueluo Nikan, who was appointed as the general of Dingyuan, who was the grandson of Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi, the Qing Taizu, and was ordered to lead a total of 150,000 elite soldiers from Sanbeile and Bagushan to Changsha.
On the 24th, Prince Jingjin Nikan was ambushed and killed by Li Dingguo's troops, and tens of thousands of Qing troops were defeated, which was also the highest-ranking general killed in the Qing Dynasty's war against the Ming Dynasty (including the Southern Ming).
Because of the sudden reversal of the situation, some people in the top echelons of the Qing court even proposed to give up the southwestern provinces and divide the world equally with Li Dingguo, and make peace with the army.
And it was precisely because of the major military victories of the two kings Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu that it aroused the worries and suspicions of the Qin king Sun Kewang.
The three kings are separated
Liu Wenxiu, who was dismissed from his title and dismantled the army, returned to Kunming and began a rotten life, reading and teaching his children in his spare time, and also went to Jizu Mountain in Dali to discuss Buddhism with monks, and asked them to go down the mountain to preach Buddhism for the people.
During this period, he also asked Li Dingguo to issue an edict to exempt the taxes of the Jizu Mountain Buddhist Temple and protect the Jizu Mountain Buddhist Temple.
In 1653 A.D., in the first month, Sun Kewang was afraid that Li Dingguo, who was outside, would support the army in the future, and he had a murderous intention, and personally led the front army east into Yuanzhou, Hunan, and sent seven letters within three days urging the troops to Baoqing, and Li Dingguo, who was preparing to cross the Xiangjiang River to attack the Qing army, went to meet and discuss.
Xiangjiang
Li Dingguo had no choice but to give up the surprise attack plan and go to Ziyang Ferry, Liu Wenxiu's son secretly sent someone to tell Li Dingguo, saying that Sun Kewang wanted to kill him, Li Dingguo was extremely disappointed in Sun Kewang, in order to take into account the overall situation and avoid fratricidal killing, he had to decide to leave Hunan and go to Quanzhou, Guangxi, and there were about 50,000 troops in the camps who followed him south, and he missed the opportunity to defeat the Qing army in Hunan.
In February, Sun Kewang learned that Li Dingguo was going south, and sent the Qianqian army all the way south to pursue and kill Li Dingguo's troops, and met the Qing army who learned the news in Baoqing, and was defeated by the Qing soldiers.
Shang Kexi, the king of the south of Qingping, took advantage of the situation and also sent boat divisions to seize Wuzhou and Guilin in Guangxi.
The good situation achieved by Li Dingguo and the soldiers of the Ming army was completely destroyed by Sun Kewang, and the Qing army also pursued Li Dingguo closely.
Li Dingguo switched to Liangguang
At the end of February, Yongzhou was captured, and Li Dingguo moved to Longhuguan (west of Taochuan, Hunan).
On March 26, the Ming army besieged Zhaoqing, Guangdong for a month, and the Qing general Geng Jimao sent iron cavalry to repel the Ming army.
In June, Li Dingguo felt that the situation had reversed and was unable to do so, so he took the initiative to write to Zheng Chenggong and invited him to attack Guangzhou, but due to the inconvenience of contact, Zheng Chenggong missed the deadline and the coalition forces failed.

In July, Liu Wenxiu had no choice but to accept Sun Kewang's position as a general and regain his armament. Those who calmly govern the costume for more than a month are on the eastern crusade to resist the Qing army.
On July 13, Li Dingguo led 20,000 troops to attack Guilin, and after seven days and nights, he had to retreat to Liuzhou, but Sun Kewang still wanted to put him to death and sent Feng Shuangli to attack Liuzhou.
In August, Feng Shuangli was defeated in an ambush and surrendered to Li Dingguo.
Eighteen's Prison of Mr. Eighteen
Sun Kewang wanted to stand on his own, and Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor who was held hostage by Sun Kewang, conspired with Wu Zhenyu, a scholar, to send envoys to Guangxi to summon Li Dingguo to escort him.
In November, after Li Dingguo received the secret message, he said that he would go to the rescue. At this time, the eunuch Ma Jixiang reported the matter in order to curry favor with Sun Kewang.
Sun Kewang was charged with "deceiving the king and misleading the country, stealing treasures and exaggerating edicts", gave Wu Zhenyu to hang himself, and beheaded 17 courtiers below Wu, a total of 18 people. Later, Guan Youcai was dispatched to lead Liu Jingguo and Liu Qiming's "Thirteen Battalions" with tens of thousands of troops to guard against Li Dingguo's return to Yunnan.

The restoration of the two Cantonese has come to naught
At the beginning of 1654, Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, the king of Southern Ming and Lu, led the sea ships to attack the Yangtze River and reached Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, and Zheng Chenggong also sent troops to attack Chongming, and the situation was reversed again.
In March, Li Dingguo led tens of thousands of peasant troops and thirteen war elephants to several counties in Guangxi and Guangdong.
In May, Li attacked Gaozhou, and the Qing garrison general Zhang Yue returned with troops.
In June, Li Dingguo attacked Wuzhou again, because the Qing troops were prepared, they did not resist, but the righteous teachers from all over Guangdong and Guangxi responded in groups, and the anti-Qing situation climaxed again, and he was ready to join Zheng Chenggong to attack Guangzhou, pacify the whole of Guangzhou, and finally restore his sight.
Zheng Chenggong was negotiating peace with the Qing court at this time, delaying the reinforcement of Guangdong, so he did not support Li Dingguo's army in time
On October 14, Li Dingguo besieged Xinhui, and the lie that the Qing army had run out of food fell into an unfavorable situation. At the same time, Sun Kewang cut off material aid from Yunnan and Guizhou.
In December, the Qing court Jingnan general Zhu Mala, as well as Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao led 100,000 Manchu and Han soldiers to arrive, the Qing army with iron cavalry to break Li Dingguo's left army, Li Dingguo's dependent war elephant was also scattered, resulting in the collapse of the Ming army, the Qing army took advantage of the victory to chase and kill 20 miles, corpses were everywhere, the Ming army withdrew from Xinhui, 6 or 700,000 people along the way followed, and retreated to Nanning overnight.
In December, Zheng Chenggong failed to negotiate peace with the Qing court, so he sent Lin Cha to lead the boat division to Guangdong, and Li Dingguo had already retreated and delayed the fighter.
When Li Dingguo retreated to Nanning, there were only 6,000 people left around him, and his attempt to restore the two Guangdong provinces finally came to naught.
Welcome into Kunming
In 1655 AD, Emperor Yongli once again sent envoys to Nanning to report Sun Kewang's "coercion". Li Dingguo received the bloody edict, fell to the ground and cried bitterly, saying that he swore to die for Emperor Yongli to eradicate the treacherous and restore the country.
At this time, Hong Chengchou was using the strategy of "two Guangdong and Guangdong to suppress" to compress Nanning with all his might, and Li Dingguo was threatened, so he decided to return to Guizhou.
In 1656, in the first month, Li Dingguo hurriedly went to Tianzhou, and the Dingguo soldiers wrote the word "Jietake" in their clothes, and Guan Youcai, the general of the town guard, thought that the Qing army could not be defeated when they came, so they fled.
Sun Kewang controlled Emperor Yongli for a long time, and immediately sent the general Bai Wenxuan to move Emperor Yongli from Anlong to Guiyang.
An Long Palace
On the 22nd day of the first month, Li Dingguo went to Anlong, met in Emperor Yongli, the monarchs and ministers hugged each other and cried bitterly, Li Dingguo swore to serve his life, and recited the four words of "loyal to the country" to the ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the ministers all said that Li Dingguo was a loyal minister. After discussion, it was decided to move the imperial court into Yunnan.
Li Dingguo escorted Emperor Yongli to Qujing, Yunnan, Liu Wenxiu persuaded Wang Shangli and others to greet Emperor Yongli, and he rode to the Ministry of Huidingguo, met Emperor Yongli in the Naturalization Temple, cried, and the two drove into Kunming together, and Zhu Youlang lived in Sun Kewang's palace of Qin. Because of his meritorious service, Li Dingguo was named the king of Jin, and Liu Wenxiu was named the king of Shu.
Sun Kewang descended
In September, Sun Kewang combined 140,000 troops, and sent out the division in the name of "Qingjun Side", and the troops arrived at Jiaoshui (Yunnan Zhanyi), and Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led 50,000 people to resist.
On September 19, the two sides met on the bank of the Jiaoshui River, Bai Wenxuan led the iron cavalry to the Ma Weixing camp, but the Ma army turned around and rushed to Sun Kewang's camp.
For a time, all the generals under Sun Kewang's account defected to Li Dingguo, and the soldiers of each battalion shouted "Welcome to the King of Jin".
Sun Kewang was frightened and fled, the remnants of the rout were pursued by Bai Wenxuan and Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo returned to Kunming, and the civil war subsided.
Sun Kewang rebelled and left, and the servants only rode dozens of horses, and the towns they passed through were all closed, and finally surrendered to the Qing court general Hong Chengchou with his wife's treasure.
Hong Chengchou
After Sun Kewang surrendered, he presented a map of the southwest region to Hong Chengchou, and told the Ming army the specific situation, so that the Qing army could find out the details, and a huge encirclement and suppression of the Yongli regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty would also come. The Great Western Army entrenched in Yunnan and Guizhou was expected to welcome the defeated and fleeing Emperor Zhu Youlang of the Southern Ming Dynasty to Anlong, Guizhou, and was named the King of Qin, and the two sides formally formed the consistent line of "Lianming and Resisting the Qing Dynasty", and the Great Western Army was renamed the Ming Army from then on.
