At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 178 Jin Weixin: Jin Fan has to return to Guangdong and Guangxi.

Of course, if Master Sun can't even repay the interest, it can only be said that he is too fickle and borrows too much.

Soon, along with the 200 million silver reward, the leftover water was distributed to the people of Guilin.

The whole city of Guilin is full of vitality and vitality.

"Take a day off and start marching into Huguang starting tomorrow!"

Sun Kewang waved his hand, bringing the Battle of Guilin to an end.

Early the next morning, a group of Xie troops were left to guard Guilin. After sorting out the food routes, Sun Kewang personally led the nine-town army north to Huguang.

At this time, Chen De, who was in Yongzhou, had been intercepted by Zhang Sheng's cavalry.

Due to unclear intelligence, Chen De, who believed that Guilin would not fall quickly, chose to stick to Yongzhou and prepare for war.

As a result, his five thousand soldiers and horses were surrounded by Sun Guozhu's 10,000+ army in Yongzhou.

Yongzhou's city defense is far less strong than Guilin's, and Chen De's 5000 people are not as strong as the Ministry of National Security.

Therefore, there is no suspense in the battle of Yongzhou.

Before the heavy artillery arrived, the Jiaqian Army used the six-pounder cannon to bombard them indiscriminately, suppressing the artillery fire of the Qing army in Yongzhou.

Then the heroes from the eight towns swarmed to attack the city, and Yongzhou was completely lost in less than half a day. Chen De died in the rebellion.

All five thousand Qing troops were wiped out.

At this point, in the entire Huguang, except for a few capable divisions in Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and Yiling to defend against the Shun army, the entire Huguang could no longer field a decent field force.

The entire southern Huguang is like a huge cake, ready for Sun Guozhu to take it.

After taking Yongzhou, Sun Kewang divided his troops into two groups.

All the way from Yongzhou along the Xiangjiang River, his own Chinese army rushed straight to Changsha.

All the way from Yongzhou, Feng Shuangli's former army passed through the fork in the road to Baoqing and entered the Zijiang River Basin.

Then he quickly moved north to capture Changde and opened up a communication channel between the Jiaqian Army and the Kuidong Army.

Zheng Guo's rear army stayed between Guilin and Yongzhou to sort out the food routes and stabilize the situation.

Just like in the past, Li Dingguo annihilated Shen Yongzhong's main force in Jingzhou, resulting in Hunan almost being won without a fight.

After Sun Kewang successively annihilated the Xian Guoan and Chen De troops, there was no army in the entire south of Dongting that could stop him even a little bit.

The people and gentry of Hunan responded in large numbers when the Great Western Army entered Hunan for the first time.

Although now, after the Qing army reoccupied Hunan, they cleared out a group of pro-Ming gentry.

But facing Sun Guozhu's 10,000+ army, the gentry and people of Hunan lost their former bloody spirit.

But it would be too difficult to ask them to be loyal to our Qing Dynasty.

Not only that, Sun Guozhu spread a large number of rumors using the three Xiang and four rivers, which shocked the entire Huguang.

The hope of restoring the motherland was rekindled among the people and gentry of Hunan.

Therefore, after celebrating the New Year in Yongzhou, Jiaqian's army scored twice. Just like the first time it took just over a month to capture almost the entire Hunan, this advance was surprisingly smooth.

At the same time, when Sun Guozhu was heading north, 10,000+ Qing troops were approaching Kunming.

In early December, the Beipanjiang defense line collapsed. Li Dingguo left Gao Wengui and Wu Zisheng to gather the troops and retreat to Yunnan with the remaining [-] Jin troops under his command.

On the ninth day of December, Li Dingguo's envoy arrived in Kunming, saying that the Ming and Qing forces were powerful and that Kunming could no longer be defended, and asked them to "move away to avoid the Qing attack".

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and now it was learned that the Beipanjiang defense line had been broken through, and the Qing army was about to arrive in Yunnan.

The entire Yongli court woke up from their drunken dreams and made an uproar.

However, there was a big uproar, the Qing army was coming soon, and Yongli had to quickly organize the court discussion.

"Your Majesty, please follow the King of Shu's legacy and move to Sichuan to join forces with the troops of the Thirteen Families in Chongqing to protect the country!"

In the court hall, Zou Jianchen, Chen Jian and other Shu vassal officials and military officials held up Liu Wenxiu's suicide note and knelt on the ground.

Yongli looked at the scene in front of him and was greatly moved.

"Your Majesty, Yunnan is now barren on all sides. If the Holy Emperor retreats into the smog-stricken land of western Yunnan, I'm afraid no civil and military officials will be willing to follow him."

"Even if the imperial court is able to run smoothly, all its feathers will be lost, its civil and military affairs will be scattered, and it will just sit there and die in the miasma!"

"Now, only places like Jianchang have good harvests year after year, with mountains of grain and grass. If the imperial court can take the false route to Jianchang and go straight to Jiading, thousands of warships, merchant ships, and civilian ships can be used in an instant!"

"At that time, the imperial court's [-]-strong army will flow down the river and reach Kui Pass. When the Thirteen Honors heard about it, they would cross the river to greet them."

"Take advantage of this opportunity to use my 20-strong army to attack the Jingxiang region with ease!"

In the court, knowledgeable ministers summarized Nan Ming's strategy.

If the current troops of Nanming can pass through Jianchang, go down the river, and join forces with the troops in Kuidong.

With the strong strength of 10,000+ soldiers, whether they go north to Shaanxi and Gansu or east to Huguang, they can open up the situation.

Even if the chance of winning against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is still slim, if this can be done, Nanming can still torment the Qing Dynasty even if he dies!
On the other hand, if you escape into the dead end of western Yunnan and linger, once you are plunged into the tropical rain forest, you will be short of money, food, and equipment, and it will not be so easy to fight out.

For a time, discussions followed, and the plan to enter Shu planned by King Liu Wenxiu for the Yongli court before his death was approved by most of the courtiers.

Emperor Yongli also knew that although he would be surrounded by the Qing army when he entered Shu, it would be much better for the imperial court to enter Shu than to escape into western Yunnan or even Myanmar.

"The strategy of the King of Shu is very reasonable. I ordered the Jinyi Guards to inform the King of Jin quickly. Gong Qing and Wang Qing quickly prepared food and grass. I will enter Shu immediately to meet the soldiers of the thirteen families!" Yongli was full of energy and announced his decision. .

"Your Majesty! If the King of Shu has a spirit in heaven, he will surely bless the Emperor for a long life!" Zou Jianchen, Chen Jian and others cried with joy.

In their opinion, they finally fulfilled the last wish of Shu King Liu Wenxiu.

On December [-], Li Dingguo personally led the guards back to Kunming and expressed his approval for the move of the Yongli court to Sichuan.

However, at this moment, a different kind of voice appeared.

"The emperor was deceived by the people of Shu. If the imperial court moves to Sichuan, this old guy Wen Anzhi will definitely lead a crowd to welcome him."

Ma Jixiang looked at his subordinates and gritted his teeth and said: "And this old guy is far from as easy to deal with as Lei Yuelong. Once the court comes into contact with him, he, an old guy, has worked hard and made great achievements, and the position of chief assistant will definitely be his!"

"When that old guy takes over the power of the government, with his character, we will definitely die without a burial place!"

Needless to say, Wen Anzhi's deeds went without saying. He fought with Sun Guozhu for ten years, and vividly connected Liu Wenxiu of Yunnan, Li Dingguo of Guangxi, and him in Kuidong to form an anti-Guozhu encirclement network.

In the end, Sun Guozhu was directly trapped in Guizhou, and he was trapped to death.

It's a pity that Wen An, who has such ability, fought among himself for ten years, and it was only after the fall of Sun Guozhu that he began to devote himself to fighting the Qing Dynasty.And his methods are very dangerous for the internally unstable Lord Sun, but they are useless for the Qing Dynasty.

So after defeating Sun Kewang, Wen Anzhi in Kuidong could only watch as Nanming became increasingly dangerous.

As a loyal minister, Wen Anzhi has always had zero tolerance for treacherous ministers and traitors.

When Sun Guozhu was a rebellious minister, the capital of Wen'an did not surrender when he was powerful. Instead, he fought tooth and nail for ten years, and finally helped the Yongli court complete its comeback.

For Sun Kewang, Wen Anzhi would not give in, but for a treacherous villain like Ma Jixiang, Wen Anzhi naturally wanted to get rid of him quickly.

When they were in Guangdong and Guangxi, Wen Anzhi and Ma Jixiang were constantly fighting among themselves.

When Sun's ruler was powerful, Ma Jixiang clung to Sun Kewang and became a traitor to the Yongli court.

Li Dingguo might be able to be fooled by Ma Jixiang about this kind of thing, but in Wen Anzhi's heart, a treacherous official like Ma Jixiang was someone he always wanted to kill!
Once the Yongli court entered Sichuan and Wen Anzhi took control of the government, Ma Jixiang estimated that all nine tribes would be gone.

"Brother, we have King Jin to help us, so the situation may not be like this!" Ma Jixiang's younger brother Ma Xiongfei said.

"You are stupid, but you are really stupid!" Ma Jixiang scolded: "Who is Wen Anzhi? It was he, an old guy, who secretly planned the imperial court's decision to send out clothes and edicts for King Jin to welcome him!"

"After the King of Jin successfully welcomed Wen Anzhi, he also admired Wen Anzhi very much and even compared the old man to Zhang Liang of the court!"

"In Prince Jin's heart, who is more important, us or that old guy? If this old guy really takes the opportunity to kill us, what can Prince Jin do?"

Ma Xiongfei's face turned pale when he heard this.

Wen Anzhi's status, qualifications, and prestige were not comparable to those of them.

Let’s not talk about the respect that the King of Jin and the court had for Wen Anzhi. When they arrived in Kuidong, that was their territory!

By then, maybe the King of Jin will have to respect Wen'an three-thirds, and these people are nothing!
Ma Jixiang and the others were frightened when they thought of this, and many of them even shed tears.

"Brother, the matter is over. We are going to see Jin Shaozai tonight. He is from Yunnan. His ancestral graves and relatives are all in Yunnan. How can he abandon these and go to Sichuan!"

Ma Xiongfei knew that his life and fortune were at stake, so he took action.

"Master Yue Zhang, that's not all. The wives and concubines of Wang Youde, the commander-in-chief of Jianchang, were occupied by Jin Shaozai. The imperial court moved to Sichuan. Jianchang is the only way to go. Once they reach Wang Youde's territory, Jin Shaozai also has to weigh it. Will Wang Youde retaliate for his wife-stealing hatred if he gets a chance?" Yang Zaimi, Ma Jixiang's son-in-law, also sneered.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this!" Ma Jixiang was overjoyed.

"In my opinion, if Wang Youde is so humiliated, he will definitely take revenge on Jin Shaozai and King Jin!"

"If the imperial court enters Jianchang and the King of Jin leads his troops to cut off the rear, he will definitely be kidnapped by Wang Youde when passing by Jianchang!"

"What's more, he will surrender to the Tatars and dedicate the emperor to the Qing Dynasty!" Ma Jixiang said confidently.

Soon the few people reached a consensus and immediately went to meet Jin Weixin.

"Jin Shaozai, Duke Qian and you are both Yunnanese. Although Kunming cannot be defended now, how big is Yunnan?"

Ma Jixiang said respectfully: "We still have a lot of land in our hands. If the imperial court just gives up on Yunnan, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the Yunnan people!"

"I also hope that Shaozai can persuade the King of Jin to go to western Yunnan. If things cannot be done, he can bring the Holy Master to visit him, so that he will be safe."

"If there is still something to be done, it will be easier to return to Kunming from western Yunnan."

Jin Weixin thought for a long time. He is from Yunnan, and now he has finally returned to his hometown. This local sentiment is very important in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Many people would rather die in their hometown than travel far away.

Although Jin Weixin knew that the imperial court's move to Sichuan would have a glimmer of hope for the general trend of the world.

But in general, he still believed that there was no hope of expelling the Tartars and recovering the Central Plains.

So he would rather die in his hometown than go to Sichuan!
Not only him, but Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, also had the same idea as him.

Mu Tianbo is a descendant of the Mu family and is quite famous in Yunnan and even Southeast Asia.

But if we leave these places, the 300 years of reputation accumulated by Mu Tianbo's ancestors will be useless!
Although his Mu family killed people and set fires in Yunnan and Southeast Asia, they never showed mercy.

But in the past 300 years, how many toasts have been given?How many small states have been rescued?

With these incense and love, Mu Tianbo will have reputation and capital!

With this capital, Sun Kewang will be treated politely when he comes to Yunnan!

But if the imperial court moves to Sichuan, to Kuidong.

In those places, who the hell is Mu Tianbo!

Once there is no one left, Mu Tianbo's political capital will decline rapidly, and he will change from Yunnan's Mu Tiantian to Kuidong's Mrs. Mu.

In the face of local feelings and political future, a large number of Yunnanese such as Mu Tianbo advocated that the imperial court move to western Yunnan instead of Sichuan.

Generally speaking, anti-qing is anti-qing, but anti-qing must also consider yourself first!

Therefore, when the Yongli court lacked central prestige and strength, the internal fighting on the Nanming side never stopped.

But now, the entire Yunnan is undercurrent.

"Ma Cifu, what you said makes sense." Jin Weixin sighed.

After weighing the pros and cons, he planned to persuade Li Dingguo to give up entering Sichuan.

Rural feelings are just one of them. Jin Weixin also worked with Li Dingguo in Guangdong and Guangxi for many years.

If there is still a future, he will naturally not be unwilling to leave Yunnan.

The main reason is that the Yongli court moved to Sichuan and it seemed that there was still some hope, but in fact Jin Weixin was beating a drum in his heart.

If we have failed so miserably in Yunnan, what kind of trouble can we make by going to Kuidong?
If there are 10,000+ soldiers with strong organizational skills and high morale, let alone going north to Shaanxi-Gansu and east to Huguang.

It would be enough to go directly to Beijing and use the black tiger to rip out the heart.

But in the battle of Beipanjiang, the 20-strong army was fighting like this. Not only Jin Weixin, but the entire Jin vassal including Li Dingguo were already disheartened.

Just like after the Xinhui War, the Jin vassal lost confidence in opening up the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi, and thus abandoned Guangxi and transferred to Yunnan.

The disastrous defeat in Beipanjiang also caused the Jin vassal to lose confidence in opening up the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou.

With the situation in Beipanjiang, Jin Weixin felt that even if he brought [-] Qin troops to Kuidong, he would not be able to conquer the world at all.

What's more, there is an enemy like Wang Youde on this road!
Jin Weixin, who hated his wife, was afraid that someone would get him when he passed by Jianchang.

"Young Master, if the King of Jin disagrees, you can tell him that the troops in Kuidong are difficult to control. The imperial court relies on the Thirteen Families. Li Laiheng, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun and others will be crowned princes and will stand alongside the King of Jin..." Ma Jixiang Seeing Jin Wei's new idea, he quickly spoke.

"Of course I know this, but there is no need for this. For the sake of the world's great plan, the imperial court should not move to Sichuan or western Yunnan, but should return to Guangdong and Guangxi!" Jin Weixin said solemnly.
