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

Chapter 179 The Three Paths of Jin Fan

"Going to Guangdong and Guangxi?" Ma Jixiang was dumbfounded.

"That's right." Jin Weixin said solemnly.

So far, in the battle of Beipanjiang, the 20 Ming army collapsed.

Jin Weixin naturally knew that he could no longer stay in Kunming.

Therefore, the Jin vassal and the imperial court had to be transferred.

Of course, Kunming is not impossible to defend. After all, the provincial capital of Yunnan has strong defenses and abundant food and grass.

If the Nanming side is determined, they will definitely not be able to guard Kunming for less time than Wu Fan.

A year and a half is a conservative estimate. After all, there is enough food and grass for 10,000+ Qing troops in Kunming for more than half a year.

Arranging tens of thousands of defenders will never run out of food in half a year like Wu Fan did.

But at this juncture, the defense can be defended, but the question is who should be arranged to defend it?

Let the Yongli court stay in Kunming?
There is no need to think about this kind of problem. Yongli does not have the backbone of Wu Sangui and his grandson.

If Yongli could not stay in Kunming to stabilize people's hearts, then Li Dingguo would have to take the last [-] Jin soldiers and coerce tens of thousands of Qin soldiers to defend Kunming.

But in this case, Li Dingguo would basically be dead if he stayed in Kunming.

After all, just as Li Zicheng did not dare to stay in Beijing and counted on Yuan Zongdi to defeat the main force of the Eight Banners to rescue the siege.

Li Dingguo and his Jin soldiers stayed in Kunming and were besieged. He couldn't expect Bai Wenxuan to defeat Wu Sangui and Doni to save him from the siege!
Moreover, after a piece of stone, Yuan Zongdi and Bai Wang are direct descendants of Li Zicheng, and the troops under his command are also willing to fight for Li Zicheng.

Now, although Li Dingguo believed in Bai Wenxuan, his Jin soldiers were exhausted. He believed in Bai Wenxuan, but he couldn't trust the Qin soldiers under Bai Wenxuan!

If he led the Jin soldiers and surrounded tens of thousands of Qin soldiers to defend Kunming, even if Bai Wenxuan could gather [-] Qin soldiers, in Li Dingguo's view, he would never expect these [-] Qin soldiers to fight to the death for him.

After all, the performance of the Qin soldiers during the Battle of Beipanjiang is still vivid in our minds.

All in all, I can’t believe it!I really can’t believe it!

Since neither Li Dingguo nor Yongli can stay in Kunming to defend the city.

Then we can only choose Qin soldiers to serve as the imperial court, and to defend Kunming for him, Li Dingguo.

But the problem is still the same, Qin soldiers are not willing to fight to the death for Li Dingguo!

If the imperial court or Li Dingguo stayed in Kunming, they might be able to unite people's hearts.

The Qin soldiers were quite dissatisfied with Li Dingguo and the imperial court.

If Li Dingguo himself ran away with the Jin soldiers and the court, leaving the Qin soldiers to stay in Kunming to die, these Qin soldiers are human beings too!

Since he is a human being, who the hell wants to be cannon fodder!
If it's for honor, faith, or money, maybe the Qin soldiers can grit their teeth and give it a try.

But what have the Qin soldiers gained in more than a year?
In terms of honor, they are the traitors who are expected to be attached to the party.

In terms of belief, the performance of the nobles of the Yongli court was seen by the Qin soldiers, and they couldn't believe it!

If the emperor Yongli could personally stay in Kunming to supervise the war, maybe the Qin soldiers would be able to fight for our Ming Dynasty if they got excited. But the emperor and the king of Jin ran away first, what a slap in the face!
Not to mention money, the treatment of the Qin soldiers is obvious to all, so what are you doing if you don’t have enough to eat?

So now Nanming's military strength seems to be considerable, and there are still 10,000+ troops in Yunnan.

But Kunming is really unstoppable!

During the San Francisco Revolution, Wu Shifan was able to hold on to Kunming for eight months, waiting for Ma Bao and others to rescue him.

But at this time, although Li Dingguo and Yongli had much more resources than Wu Shifan, due to internal problems, the Nanming side could not even hold on to Kunming and had to make strategic shifts!

"Prince Jin, Sun Kewang is sitting in Guangxi, but watching the imperial court's 20 troops defeated Panjiang! At this moment, the imperial court is in danger, this rebel will be extremely happy!"

"With Sun Ni's greedy and foolish nature, he will definitely seize grain from the fire. Regardless of the situation, he will sit back and watch Kunming fall, the court and the King of Jin lose power, while he will go east to Guangdong and north to Huguang to expand his territory!"

Jin Weixin said in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, Kunming can no longer be defended. How can we go north to Sichuan and just build Changchang? How can we use 10 people?"

"Besides, the troops in Kuidong are domineering and will definitely not obey the King of Jin's orders, so the strategy of heading north is not feasible!"

"As we enter western Yunnan from the west and go deep into the barren area, it will be difficult for our 10,000+ army to hold out for a long time. Moreover, the land in western Yunnan is a land of smog and miasma, and it is really not a place for rejuvenation."

"Now, we can only imitate An Long's move that day. My 10,000+ army protected the Holy One and moved into Guangdong and Guangxi. With the power of my army and the power of the Holy One, the puppet officials and generals in Guangxi will not dare to resist the power of the imperial court!"

"My 10,000+ army can be based in Guangxi, or go east to Guangdong to contact the Yanping Division, or go north to Huguang to contact the troops in Kuidong. In this way, the Ming Dynasty will be revived just around the corner!"

Jin Weixin made an impassioned speech, which made Li Dingguo's eyes suddenly widen.

After the disastrous defeat of Xinhui, Jin Fan completely lost its confidence in opening up the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Therefore, under Jin Weixin's plan, Li Dingguo embarked on the dead end of Anlong's pick-up and victory.

Now Kunming can no longer be defended.

Li Dingguo and Jin Fan once again reached a turning point in fate.

"Jin Shaozai, do you want Gu Fang Anlong to jump out of death again?" Li Dingguo said slowly.

"That's right. In the past, the King of Jin was confined to a corner of Guangxi and could not help the country and protect the Ming Dynasty, so he took Yunnan as the place to rejuvenate. But now the troops from the north are pressing forward, and Kunming cannot be defended."

"Whether it goes north to Sichuan or west to western Yunnan, East Kui and western Yunnan cannot be used as a place to revive the imperial court. Only by making a strange move and taking the land of Guangdong and Guangxi as the foundation can the Ming Dynasty be revived!" Jin Weixin continued to analyze. .

In fact, what Jin Weixin said is not unreasonable, as far as Li Dingguo and Jin Fan are concerned.

Whether it is to go to the east of Kui or to the west of Yunnan, it is not as suitable as going to Guangxi under the rule of Sun Guozhu.

In another time and space, in addition to moving north and retreating west, Li Dingguo and the Yongli court actually had a third way to take.

That is to go south to Guangxi or Annan and contact Zheng Chenggong through the rebel voyage.

Even before the Battle of Beipanjiang, Nanning and other places were actually under He Jiuyi's control.

If Li Dingguo hadn't hurriedly ordered He Jiuyi to abandon Nanning and other places and return to Yunnan after losing the first battle at Beipanjiang.

Li Dingguo even has a foothold in Guangxi.

But just as Li Dingguo was unwilling to go to Sichuan to join the rest of the Shun Army for the sake of his own status.

In the end, Jin Fan withdrew into western Yunnan with the thought of being the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a snake.

At that time, Li Dingguo's idea was that he could still save himself and work hard in western Yunnan first.

If things really go wrong, although he can't go to Sichuan, he can still take Yongli to Annan and sail to Zheng Chenggong.

All in all, the feeling of having great power and taking control of life and death is too fascinating.

Therefore, Li Dingguo and Jin Fan have made all efforts for their transcendent status and power, and will never look back and rely on others until the last moment.

But what Li Dingguo never expected was when he was deploying the battle of Mopan Mountain.

Emperor Yongli turned around like the wind, and even secretly entered Burma to survive.

This resulted in Li Dingguo having to spend all the last resources and troops of Nanming on the Burmese people in order to save him, and eventually died of illness in the wilderness.But now there are also three roads in front of Li Dingguo and Jin Fan.

But because Guangxi has become extremely valuable after being governed by Sun Kewang, from the perspective of the Jin vassal.

Compared with withdrawing into Sichuan and western Yunnan, it seems that taking Guangxi is the best choice.

"Prince Jin, Sichuan is dilapidated and western Yunnan is barren. If the imperial court withdraws to these two places, it will inevitably suffer from insufficient food and salary and shortage of materials, making it difficult to sustain for a long time. However, Guangdong and Guangxi are rich..." Jin Weixin continued to persuade.

Li Dingguo fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He had stayed in Guangxi for several years, but he had witnessed with his own eyes the results achieved when Sun Kewang governed Yunnan.

I remember that at the beginning, Yunnan, which was plagued by constant wars, was already under great control during the autumn harvest.

And now Guangxi has been governed by Sun Kewang for more than a year.

Guangxi at this time is by no means worse than Yunnan back then.

If only Li Dingguo could withdraw into Guangxi with the Yongli court and 10,000+ troops.

Then the supply of materials and development prospects are definitely better than going to Sichuan and western Yunnan.

The future of Jin Fan will also become bright again.

But the problem is that he had already given up Guangxi and captured Yunnan before.

Now Sun Ke is expected to withdraw into Guangxi, and he abandons Yunnan and seizes Guangxi.

Who can bear this shit!
Sun Kewang and the leader of the country must fight for their lives!
"Jin Shaozai, Guangxi is indeed the first choice for the imperial court to move. However, if this vassal leads a large army to escort the emperor to Guangxi, I am afraid that Sun Kewang will immediately start a war with Gu."

"At that time, Sun Ni will block the vassal, and later the Manchu and Qing troops will pursue us. I'm afraid we will be in a dilemma!" Li Dingguo said worriedly.

In fact, there is a great need to withdraw into Jinfan in Guangxi.

After all, now is the urgent time.

After the disastrous defeat of Xinhui, Li Dingguo only had [-] yuan left and no longer had the ability to attack Guangdong.

But even so, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were not able to bring their [-] old men to Nanning to completely eliminate Li Dingguo.

Although Li Dingguo has suffered heavy losses, he still has a capital of [-] yuan.

Even if Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao added the 3 remnant troops of Guoan on the front line, the total number of elite troops of the three vassals was less than [-].

Facing Li Dingguo, who even had an advantage in terms of military strength, Shang Kexi and the three of them might not be able to win even in a field battle.

What's more, they want to capture Nanning and eliminate Li Dingguo?

Therefore, the situation in 1655 was that although the Jin vassal had lost the ability to capture Guangdong and open up the situation.

However, with Li Dingguo's strength, he could still control the Nanning area and establish his own rule.

In other words, there was no existential crisis for the Jin vassal in 1655.

However, due to the disastrous defeat of Xinhui, Li Dingguo lost his ability and confidence to open up the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi.

That's why he made a dangerous move, took over Anlong and transferred to Yunnan.

Compared with 1655 now, Jin Fan's strength is theoretically stronger than three years ago, and it controls an army of 10,000+!

He directly grasped the justice of the court, unlike three years ago when he had to go to Anlong to pick up Yongli.

This is true in terms of strength, but also in terms of survival.

Three years ago, there was no existential crisis for Jin Fan, at least not in a short period of time.

After Li Dingguo repelled the Qing army's attack in Guangxi, he even counterattacked and regained Lianzhou and other places. He stabilized the situation in Guangxi and rested for a year to prepare enough food and grass before executing the takeover plan.

And now the Qing army has advanced to Yunnan and is about to reach Kunming!

Three years ago, Jin Fan did not have an existential crisis, but now it does.

Therefore, Jin Fan's willingness to implement the strategic transition again after scoring twice is not weakening but strengthening!

This is true in terms of strength and demand.

In terms of psychological pressure, many things are only the difference between zero and one.

Besides, isn’t there still the Yongli court?
Under the whole world, could it be the king's land!
Li Dingguo took the emperor to Guangxi, who can tell what is wrong?

Wasn’t it great when we entered Yunnan before?
From a broad perspective, it is very convenient for Li Dingguo to do things with the emperor card.

Not to mention in this era, even in future generations.

Li Dingguo took Yongli to occupy Yunnan, and basically everyone's attention was on Yongli.

Yunnan, the lifeblood of Sun Guozhu, was gone, and not many people realized it.

In this case, Li Dingguo and Anlong, who had protected Yongli from danger in the past, came to Yunnan.

But now it is natural and logical to take Yongli away from dangerous Yunnan and go to safe Guangxi.

Even if it is stated openly, no one in the world can say anything.

After all, loyalty to the emperor is the political correctness of this era!

"Prince Jin, Sun Ni only has [-] remaining soldiers. Even if tens of thousands of new soldiers are recruited after a year, the new soldiers will not be able to fight."

Jin Weixin said confidently: "What's more, Sun Ni is greedy. During the bloody battle at Beipanjiang, he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger's head. Now that the winner has been decided, he will definitely take the opportunity to go north to Huguang and east to west Guangdong to expand his territory."

"At this time, we made a dangerous move, scored twice, and led the Holy Driver into Guangxi. With our 10,000+ people, even if some of Sun Ni's minions dare to resist, they will definitely be defeated by King Jin's. The master of kings, the thundering wrath of the imperial court!”

Li Dingguo nodded slightly when he heard this. This person will always be affected by emotions.

Didn't our Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have a shadow of dissatisfaction with the Ming army because they won too many and were completely invincible?

Then during the Hengyang victory, Nikan was beheaded by Li Dingguo precisely because of the Jurchens' mental state of dissatisfaction and invincibility.

After Li Dingguo's victory in Hengyang, his and Jin Fan's mentality also changed. They felt that the Eight Banners soldiers were nothing more than this.

Then during the Battle of Xinhui, even though they knew the Eight Banners reinforcements had arrived.

Li Dingguo still refused to retreat, and chose to fight the Manchu Qing in a decisive battle with the exhausted troops who had been under the fortification of the city for more than half a year. The result was a complete defeat.

In the same way, in the Battle of Jiaoshui, the Jin vassal 10,000 defeated the [-]+ Sun lords and all were defeated.

For Li Dingguo and Jin Fan, what else is scary about Sun Kewang?

Now the Jin vassal has 10,000+ troops, and Sun Kewang only has [-] remaining soldiers. Although it must have been a year, Sun Kewang has recruited many new soldiers.

I can win the first 10,000 and [-]+. Jin Fan feels that I have the advantage now!
