Chapter 14 Ambush

That night, the military barracks outside the city of Guiyang were decorated with lanterns and festoons, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and more than 3 former soldiers had enough food and meat.

Sun Kewang even carried forward the spirit of a family of soldiers and civilians, officers and soldiers. He, the lord of the country, led his cronies and generals to spare no effort to condolences in front of more than 3 former soldiers, showing his strong desire to survive in desperate situations.

That night, the morale of the well-fed Jiaqian army officers was even higher. Sun Kewang ordered General Wang Dewang to command [-] troops to stay in Guiyang. Jinyiwei commander Liang Cheng led [-] cavalry to the west of the water to meet Zhang Sheng's troops. Ma Zhaoxi, Wan Niance led the Sixth Administrative Department in Guiyang to reorganize the treasury, money and food, and prepare for a major strategic shift.

And Sun Kewang personally escorted Feng Shuangli, the second and fifth son, and marched overnight with more than 2 front troops to Weiqing Guard, preparing to ambush and kill Bai Wenxuan and Liu Wenxiu on the Weiqing road leading to Guiyang, showing his majesty. Strength, so as to obtain negotiation capital.

Along the way, the more than 2 soldiers of the Jiaqian army who had enough food and drink were full of energy and swift as the wind. The Jiaqian army is the top army in the world and is at the same level as the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

It's a pity that although Sun Guozhu has managed well in Yunnan and Guizhou, the soldiers in the front army have enough food, have complete war horses and armor, and even built a lot of red cannons.

However, the supply of meat for the Southwest Ming Army has been insufficient. This has led to the fact that the quality of the individual soldiers of the Qianqian Army is still inferior to that of the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers who often eat meat. However, the armies of both sides are of the same level and there is no generational difference. Quantity to make up.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria were in Shunzhi for five years, and in 1648 AD there were only more than 5 men left. After the great victories at Hengyang and Xiamen, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong both took many heads, and even Sun Guozhu's battle at the fork in the road also Many real Manchurians were killed.

The number of full Eight Banners is difficult to replenish, but Sun Guozhu's driving army has enough soldiers. In history, Liu Wenxiu was defeated by Baoning, Sun Kewang was defeated by the fork in the road, and Li Dingguo was defeated by Zhaoqing. After the three-way counterattack, Sun Guozhu's 20 The field army was tens of thousands lost by Liu Wenxiu in Baoning, and Li Dingguo brought 10 to [-] troops into Guangxi. At that time, Sun Kewang had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, plus Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong, and Feng Shuangli, a total of [-] people .

Fortunately, the losses of the Qing army were far greater than those of the Daxi army, and they were unable to completely defeat Sun Kewang. Sun Guozhu returned to Guiyang with the main force after stabilizing the situation in western Hunan. Kung Fu, the number of soldiers and horses in his hands exceeded 20, and the direct line of the Qianqian Army had more than 10 people.

Facing Sun Kewang's army of more than 1654, the Manchu Qing had to station a large number of green camp troops in Huguang, carrying a huge burden of financial deficit. In 1656, the military expenditure reached more than 100 million taels of silver. In 440, Hong Chengchou's defense deployment was completed. More than [-] million taels of military expenditure was spent that year, with a deficit of more than [-] million taels.

However, Yunnan and Guizhou were more than self-sufficient in this protracted war. Not only could they afford the expenses of an army of more than [-], but they also accumulated a large amount of resources that could be used for strategic offensives.The Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled the entire world but could not consume Sun Kewang in Yunnan and Guizhou due to various factors. This phenomenon is really shocking.

"Your Majesty, the Wei Qing Guards have arrived." A general said.

"Okay!" Sun Kewang said: "Let the soldiers work hard and lie in ambush on both sides of the valley on Weiqing Road."

"Obey!" The general galloped away.

Soon, most of the soldiers, under the command of officers at all levels, quickly ambushed in the high mountains of Weiqing Road, and only waited for Sun Guozhu's order to choose a dismounting officer for Bai Wen.

Of course, Sun Kewang didn't want to really go to war, so he asked the soldiers of the front army to listen to his national flag and wave their drums, and wait for the flag to wave continuously before rushing to kill.

"The king, Bai Wenxuan has repeatedly betrayed the king, will it be too easy for him if we do this?"

Sun Kewang waved his hands and said, "After all, Bai Wenxuan is an old brother of our Western Army. If you want to kill him, you have to wait until later. Let him save his life and beat the Tartars."

The generals in front of him were in awe after hearing this.

Bai Wenxuan was the former governor of the Great Western Army. After Zhang Xianzhong died, he respected the lord of the country, but he also had a close relationship with Li Dingguo. In 1652, Liu Wenxiu led 5 to [-] troops to counterattack Wu Sangui. He led his troops along the Jialing Pass against the river. As a result, Liu Wenxiu invaded and defeated Baoning for greed, and killed more than half of the more than [-] elite Ming troops.

Bai Wenxuan looked at the flag of the Western Army flying down from the upper reaches and realized that the main force had been defeated and had to retreat to Chongqing. Later, in order to suppress Li Dingguo, Sun Guozhu brought his Qianqian Army, which was also the last mobile unit of the Western Camp, to Hunan.

The day before Li Dingguo's victory in Hengyang, Sun Kewang handed over the main force of his leading army to Bai Wenxuan. On November 21, Bai Wenxuan led more than 3000 horse infantry to attack Chenzhou. The city of Chenzhou was broken the next day. Xu Yong, who blocked Li Guo and Gao Yigong, was dismembered by the Ming army.

After the defeat at Chalukou, Sun Guozhu received a letter from Qian Qianyi, and sent Bai Wenxuan back to Yunnan to lead tens of thousands of well-trained recruits to Guizhou, preparing for Liu Wenxiu to take the main force of the Western Army to capture Huguang, and go down the river to fight with him. Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan joined forces in Nanjing.

After Li Dingguo was defeated in Xinhui, he made a dangerous move and entered Guizhou with the remaining [-] troops. He wanted to take Yongli away. Sun Kewang sent Bai Wenxuan to lead the troops to move Emperor Yongli to Guiyang. However, Bai Wenxuan was surrounded by friends, the emperor and the king. Between friends and emperors.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan met in Anlong. Li Bai brought Yongli into Yunnan and got Liu Wenxiu's support. Sun Kewang's confidants in Yunnan, Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, and He Jiuyi, on the one hand, did not have the same status in Xiying as Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu. Wen Xiugao, on the other hand, could not beat Li Dingguo with soldiers and horses, and Yongli was the emperor after all, it was not easy to send troops to refuse. Under Liu Wenxiu's persuasion, Wang Shangli opened the gate of Kunming, and Yunnan fell into Li Dingguo's hands.

After Bai Wen was selected as an envoy to Guizhou, Sun Guozhu was so angry that he threatened to cut off his head. Finally, under the persuasion of the generals, he beat Bai Wenxuan for a meal. More than a year later, Sun Guozhu marched with 14 soldiers and horses In Yunnan, it is very outrageous to appoint Bai Wenxuan as the general who conquers and recruits, and serves as the former commander-in-chief of the 14 army. (Sun Kewang is so heartless, the defeat of the 14 army is not wronged.)
Historically, after Sun Kewang's defeat, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi and others died one after another. Among all the generals who could take charge of their own affairs, only Bai Wenxiu and Feng Shuangli were left. Li Dingguo was stationed at Shuanghekou and sent Bai Wenxuan to resist Wu Sangui and Feng Shuangli. To resist Dhoni, Li Chengjue, Zhang Sheng's former general, resisted Zhao Butai, but was defeated in all three ways. Li Dingguo himself was beaten to a pulp against more than 1 Zhao Butai at Shuanghekou's [-] headquarters.

After Yunnan fell, Bai Wenxuan accompanied Li Dingguo to the end, but was persuaded to surrender by Ma Bao and Ma Weixing.
