Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 243 The Great Chaos in Yunnan Province (asking for tickets, asking for subscription)
In Zhang Xianzhong's heart, he was full of the thought of being a little rich.

Facing the double threats of Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng in the fertile land of Huguang, he directly abandoned his land and led his army into Sichuan.

Nothing less, guarding Sichuan can advance, attack, retreat or defend, there is no risk at all.

But after staying in Jianchang for half a year, his age and the hardships of western Sichuan made him less willing to take risks.

The [-] small imperial court in Jianchang has no external aggression and is self-sufficient. It is like a farmer who has reclaimed wasteland. His hard work has already satisfied him.

"Although Yunnan is rich, it is the seat of the Ming court. Although Jianchang is small, it is the foundation of Daxi!"

Looking at Sun Kewang's excited and excited face, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help saying.

"We can't abandon Jianchang, half a year of hard work can't be wasted."

Sun Kewang's excited heart gradually cooled down, and he looked calm: "Father, it's my child's negligence."

With that said, he turned around and left the so-called palace.

Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes, watched him go, and sighed in his heart: "It's a pity, I'm afraid my legs will die."

Why didn't he want to go to Yunnan, but the fighting methods in Sichuan and Yunnan were completely different from what he was familiar with.

For example, the cavalry, which the Western Army is best at, cannot form combat effectiveness at all in the continuous and rugged mountains.

On the contrary, the wet weather and uneven mountains caused heavy losses to the cavalry.

The advantages turned into disadvantages, which Zhang Xianzhong could hardly accept.

In an unfamiliar field and at a disadvantage, letting him rush to Yunnan to fight is the next best thing to do.

Sun Kewang left the palace and called everyone to discuss how to go south.

Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, two sworn brothers, plus the generals of the Western Army, are like a small imperial court, comparable in size to Zhang Xianzhong.

"The adoptive father doesn't want to go south, he just wants to stay in Jianchang, what can you do?"

Sun Kewang said, his face full of helplessness.

In the final analysis, Zhang Xianzhong is the leader of the first army, even if he is in power, he cannot be skipped.

"The foster father is greedy for the stability of Jianchang, as well as the palace you built for him, and the women you captured. Therefore, according to my method, if the palace is burned and Jianchang is slaughtered, the foster father will naturally go south."

Ainengqi yelled that the environment here in Jianchang, especially the dense mosquitoes, really bored him.

The prosperous Han land lingers in their hearts.

Only after leaving, do we know how to cherish.

"No." Sun Kewang was the first to veto this proposal.

Jianchang City was the result of his hard work for half a year, how could it be easily destroyed.

Furthermore, if it is unfavorable to enter Yunnan, this is also the guarantee for their comeback.

"Father became angry from embarrassment, you have no good fruit to eat."

Liu Wenxiu glanced sideways at him and said calmly.

He looked at the crowd, focused on Sun Kewang's face, and said calmly: "Father's wives and concubines are pregnant, plus his many years of fighting, his body is not as good as before."

"It's really hard for him to let him cross mountains and ridges, cross snakes, tigers and leopards to go to Yunnan."

"Brother, since we want to enter Yunnan, why not take the lead and take the first step, and wait until the soldiers are stable, then it will not be too late to pick up the adoptive father."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Kewang's expression changed, but he did not expect this.

He has been focusing on the entire Western Army, reluctant to disperse.

But if he led an army alone and made great achievements, he would naturally replace the foster father after occupying the whole of Yunnan.

"It's hard to say!"

Sun Kewang's heart was hot, but his face remained calm, and he said softly: "I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to divide the army. If the Sichuan army kills, the foster father will be in danger."

Wang Zhaolin, the son-in-law military adviser, turned his face straight: "There are many wives and children in the army. Let them stay in Jianchang to look after their homes and care homes. Their strength may be underestimated."

"Furthermore, isn't there still soldiers who can be recruited?"

Now, everyone nodded.

Sun Kewang was overjoyed, and personally explained to Zhang Xianzhong what it means to be popular.

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a long time, and finally agreed.

So, with only one month to go before the rainy season, Sun Kewang headed south with a [-] army that had been prepared for a long time.

The first stop is to cross the Jinsha River and arrive at Wuding Mansion.

Li Dazhi's 2000 people, where there were [-] people fighting endlessly against the Western Army's opponents, suddenly attacked and the entire army camp collapsed.

Li Dazhi fled hastily with a hundred soldiers.

And Sun Kewang also directly marched into Wudingfuzhi and Quzhou, and sent troops to control Yuanmou County, Luquanzhou, Fuzhi and Quzhou one after another, almost completely controlling Wudingfu.

Wuding Chieftain Wu Bikui had no choice but to surrender.

So far, with little effort, Sun Kewang won his foothold in Yunnan.

The chieftain's thousands of soldiers and horses were also taken under his banner.

And the status of Wuding Mansion is extremely important.

It is just above Yunnan Prefecture (Kunming), which is governed by Yunnan Province.

The province has the same name.

Sun Kewang also thought so.

He didn't intend to give Mu Wangfu and the Yunnan government any time to respond.

After repairing for two or three days, they were able to send troops to the south, entered Yunnan Prefecture overnight, and took Luoci County.

Now, knowing that the western bandits had entered Yunnan, and knowing that Luoci County had fallen, Mu Tianbo panicked.

Regardless of the friction with the governor's office, he hastily invited the governor Wu Zhaoyuan and the governor Wu Wenying to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Although Wu Zhaoyuan is 74 years old now, he is in good spirits, and he has healed a little from mourning Emperor Chongzhen last year.

He filled his chest with anger: "The western thief really did a lot of harm, if he comes to Yunnan today, the old man will definitely not let him go."

"Fu Jun, now that Luo Ci has fallen, the distance to Kunming is only two hundred miles away, and it will arrive sooner or later, what can we do?"

Mu Tianbo was too lazy to take time off, and asked sincerely.

When Wu Zhaoyuan heard the words, he first cursed: "The Duke has abandoned the guardhouse for many years, and this is the result of today's bitterness."

Mu Tianbo bite the bullet and continued to listen, this old man relied on his age to wantonly bully this young man, if he didn't respect the old and love the young, he would have hit the board already.

"However, the western thieves ravaged Huguang. Although they were defeated by King Yu, their fighting power should not be underestimated. In my opinion, we should evacuate Kunming to preserve our vitality."

"Afterwards, write a letter to the imperial court to send reinforcements to Yunnan to suppress the thieves."

Wu Zhaoyuan stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, which made people suspect that he was about to fall asleep.

After a long time, he continued: "The yamen can be moved to the Chuxiong Mansion, where Jin Cang's soldiers will be guarded by Yang Weizhi, but then he will order the chieftain to besiege the Western thieves."

"Then, wait for reinforcements from the imperial court."

To sum up, it is to leave the quagmire of Kunming, go to Chuxiong Mansion, call the whole province to besiege, and then wait for the imperial court to reinforce the army.

The reason why they gave up the Yunnan Mansion was that the soldiers and horses were useless, and they could only wait for death if they guarded it.

"Okay!" Mu Tianbo responded immediately, and finally had the backbone, he hurriedly said: "The third department's yamen must also retreat, and must not stay in Kunming to let people down the bandits and spread scandal."
