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

Chapter 196 If you don’t die by captives, you will die by thieves!
"Third Commander, the situation is urgent. Please raise your troops quickly." A general looked at Tan Wen's body and said with a heavy expression on his face.

When Tan Yi heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Shaving his hair and becoming a Qingqing was something he had been resisting for more than ten years, otherwise he would never have persisted in Kuidong for so many years.

But now even if I have made up my mind, it still feels extremely difficult to do it.

"Third Commander, we can't go back." Another general sighed.

"There's no turning back!" Tan Yi gritted his teeth.

His eldest brother has died in his hands. What other escape option does he have besides surrendering to the Qing Dynasty?

"Send someone to the city to inform Gao Minzhan that we are ready to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"

"In addition, go and inform the second brother that the important matter can no longer be done. For the sake of the brothers, please surrender."

"Third Commander, since we have decided to surrender to the Tatars, the Commander's troops outside Chongqing and the navy of Liu Tichun and others need to be dealt with." A close aide said gloomily.

Tan Yi took a deep breath when he heard this.

It was undoubtedly a huge psychological burden for him to attack his comrades who had been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years.

But he finally passed this hurdle. Now that he has passed it, this kind of thing must be done.

"Third Commander, if we don't have a certificate of surrender, I'm afraid the Tatars won't believe in us!"

"And...if the three commanders can defeat the commander's men and the rebellious navy, and resolve the siege of Chongqing, then the status of the three commanders in the Qing Dynasty will not be low!" A close aide advised.

The Battle of Chongqing has reached its final moments. If Tan Yi can help the Qing Dynasty reverse the situation, the benefits will be great.

"Everyone go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the team and we must help the imperial court to relieve the siege of Chongqing!" Tan Yi's eyes were extremely cold.

That night, Tan Yi and his cronies shaved off their heads, and then gathered thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, preparing to deal with Tan Wen's men and Shunjun's navy.

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Yi's army divided into two groups and raided Tan Wen's camp and Shunjun's naval base.

Caught off guard, Tan Wen's men and Shunjun navy were defeated in a hurry.

The Qing army in Chongqing didn't believe it at first, but when they saw Tan Yi leading his troops to massacre his comrades wantonly, they were overjoyed and sent troops to help.

Under the two-pronged attack, Tan Wen's troops and Shunjun navy were almost completely destroyed.

A large number of flags of the shun army and the wreckage of warships flowed along the river to Kuidong.

After annihilating Tan Wen's troops and the Shunjun navy, Tan Yi led Tan Hong's troops to surrender to the Manchus.

The troops of Liu Tichun and others were marching to Fengdu County at this time, and after hearing the bad news.

The morale of the whole army plummeted, and the commander Wen Anzhi even vomited blood and fell from his horse, wailing loudly.

Fengdu County, inside the Ming army camp.

"Two beasts, Tan Yi and Tan Hong! How dare you kill your eldest brother!" Qihou Hezhen was furious.

"Qihou, now that things have happened, we must continue to work hard to conquer Chongqing and relieve the crisis in Yunnan!"

On the bed, Wen Anzhi was extremely old, eagerly hoping that the Kuidong generals could save the crisis.

"Supervisor, almost all of our naval forces have been destroyed, and Chongqing is facing the river on three sides. Without the help of the navy, it will be difficult to attack."

"What's more, Tan Yi and Tan Hong have [-] soldiers and horses. With the help of these people, Chongqing Jiancheng is no longer something we can defeat." Guangxing, Duke of Jing Kingdom, sighed.

The troops in Kuidong were already short of food, pay, and equipment.

When it comes to field battles, Wang Guangxing and others are not afraid of Tan Yi and Tan Hong at all.

However, the Kuidong soldiers who were short of supplies found it extremely difficult to fight the siege.

At this time, there were more than 1 defenders in Chongqing City. They not only had sufficient troops but also defended the fortified city.

If they attack by force, not only will they not be able to capture Chongqing, but they will lose troops and generals.

"Superintendent, please go back to Kuidong. The army has insufficient food and pay to attack Chongqing this time. Now Ertan has rebelled, the navy has been lost, and the morale of the soldiers is extremely low. Forcibly attacking the city will only lead to a big defeat." Yangcheng Houma Chongxi sighed.

"Everyone, if you go back to Kuidong, what will the court and King Jin do?" Wen Anzhi kept coughing.

"Imperial court? Prince of Jin?" He Zhen said in a deep voice: "Superintendent, it's not like we didn't try our best. The last time we attacked the Chongqing battalions, we lost a lot of troops."

"As a result, we held back Wu Sangui in Fuzhou, but Li Dingguo delayed sending troops to counterattack Guizhou."

"Now in the battle of Beipanjiang, the 20-strong army in Li Dingguo's hands is about to collapse. What can we do?"

"Chongqing can no longer be conquered. What will happen even if it is conquered?"

"The best strategy is to retreat to Kuidong, reorganize our troops and horses, and replenish our equipment."

"That is, we people have never been welcomed by the court. Now that the court is in trouble, if we can do this, we are worthy of the court and the emperor." Dang Shousu also agreed.

All the people in Kuidong are not welcomed by our Ming Dynasty.

As early as the period of He Tengjiao, the generals of the Shun Army were marginalized.

After the first loss of Hunan, Hao Yaoqi led his troops to Guangxi, but was squeezed out by Qu Shichu again.

These people finally gathered in Kuidong. For the sake of the overall situation, it would be good to attack Chongqing with all their strength.

But now, Chongqing can no longer be taken, and no one is willing to let them lose their troops in vain.

Wen Anzhi felt sad when he saw the scene in front of him. He had been trying his best to fight for our Ming Dynasty all his life, but in the end it was all in vain.

This made this old man feel desperate.

However, at this moment, Liu Tichun suddenly entered the tent.

"Duke Wan, I intend to attack Chongqing again. I wonder what you think!" Wen Anzhi was still unwilling to give up hope and said quickly.

"Supervisor, the city of Chongqing is strong and our army is newly defeated. It is not appropriate to attack again."

Liu Tichun's face was extremely excited, which made Wen Anzhi and others puzzled.

"Old Liu, our army has been defeated, why are you so excited?" Dang Shousu asked.

"Great joy, great news!" Liu Tichun was extremely happy.

"During the Battle of Beipanjiang, Sun Kewang raised troops from Guangxi to Guangzhou and led [-] troops to conquer Guilin and Yongzhou, completely annihilating the Xian Guoan and Chen De troops."

"Now, Sun Jun has reached the edge of the Yangtze River! All 10,000+ Tatars have been locked up in Yunnan and Guizhou!"

"What!" Wen Anzhi, He Zhen, Wang Guangxing, Ma Chongxi, Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao and others were all stunned.

"Not only that, he also contacted Xiaohu, Lao Hao and Lao Yuan, and agreed that the whole province of Huguang would be divided equally between the two families. He would use the land of Changde to rest our troops and horses! Invite us to go to Hunan and jointly block the Tatars' retreat!"

"The King of Qin is the King of Qin!" Dang Shousu said quickly: "Go! Let's go to Huguang quickly!"

"If we can rest and reorganize our troops in the land of plenty, within a few months, my tens of thousands of old brothers in Dashun will surely be able to feed their troops!"

Although Huguang is a major grain-producing province, most of the grain-producing areas are in the Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake.

If Kuidong's soldiers can enter these places, their strength will definitely be greatly improved.In the past, it was because the Qing army was blocked in Yiling and other places, but now Sun Kewang's troops have sent troops to Huguang, completely shattering the Qing's arrangement in Huguang.

This is the time when the tiger escapes from its box and the dragon escapes from its trap.

If you don't go now, when will you stay?
"Yes! There is nothing to fight in Chongqing. If we can go to Hunan to collect food, pay, and replenish equipment, the strength of the soldiers and horses in the camps will be greatly increased!" He Zhen laughed, with joy in his eyes.

"Without further delay, I'll wait for the battalions to organize their troops and march to Huguang!" Liu Tichun said in high spirits.

Wen Anzhi was shocked when he heard this.

Sun Kewang is the person he hates the most. This traitor is the biggest enemy in the hearts of our loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty!
However, Yunnan is now in crisis, and Sun Kewang's dispatch of troops to Huguang will be beneficial to the court.

"The Sun thief is marching north. If the imperial court and the King of Jin can hold on in Yunnan for a few months, they will surely see a turn for the better. But if the Sun thief is allowed to capture Huguang and defeat the main force of the Tatars, it will be very difficult to control them!" Wen Wen An Zhi felt happy and worried.

Fortunately, the pressure on Li Dingguo and the Yongli court has been greatly reduced.

What is worrying is that if Sun Kewang rises strongly, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed by captors, but will be destroyed by thieves!

At this point, the Battle of Chongqing came to an end.

The generals in Kuidong tried their best to attack twice, but failed to capture this strong city due to a combination of circumstances.

With the defense of Chongqing, our Qing Dynasty finally got good news.

The communication channel between Shunzhi and others and Doni was finally opened.

At the same time, in western Yunnan, Li Dingguo is about to usher in the last song of his life.

On the third day of the first lunar month of the 16th year of Shunzhi, the Qing army occupied Kunming and seized a large amount of grain and grass, which greatly eased its logistical pressure.

Because the generals of the Qing army all believed that now was the last battle to pacify the world.

And Dhoni and other generals also believe that the overall situation has been decided, and the Nanming side is destined to be destroyed.

Therefore, it is no longer like in Guizhou to win people's hearts and restrain the military discipline of the Qing army.

In this case, the whole of Yunnan became a hell on earth.

Qujing, Kunming, Chuxiong, Wuding and other places were attacked by war and looted everywhere.

The people of Yunnan were robbed of all their food, clothing, gold, silver, and livestock.

The Qing army even captured both men and women, killing the men and raping the women.

The remaining old, weak and disabled people were hung, tortured and burned for the entertainment of the Qing army.

Under this massacre, Yunnan's production order was quickly destroyed.

The price of grain quickly climbed from one tael per stone to three taels per bucket of rice.

And towards the direction, even if there are ten thousand buckets of rice, there is no way to do it, and it is developing rapidly.

Our Qing Dynasty was able to push the price of food in Yunnan to the level of hundreds of taels of silver per stone in a short period of time, which shows how seriously their massacre destroyed the production order in Yunnan.

Under this situation, the tortured Yunnan gentry quickly changed their minds one by one.

I began to miss the goodness of Lord Sun.

Although Lord Sun only gave [-]%, compared with the burning, killing and looting of our Qing Dynasty, he was like a living Bodhisattva!
Our Qing army does not care whether they are common people or gentry in Yunnan!Kill those who deserve to be killed, rape those who deserve to be raped, whoever has the money will do it!
What happened to the gentry?Aren’t the family’s property and the pampered daughter at home not abundant and beautiful?
Soon, a large number of Yunnan gentry who lost their families and their families regretted their actions.

Although Li Dingguo's land rent is much more than Sun Kewang's [-]%.

But it only lasted three years, and the Qing Dynasty came in!

Who can bear this!
Therefore, many Yunnan gentry began to resent Li Dingguo for being unable to defend Yunnan, resulting in the destruction of his family.

He wrote a bunch of classics criticizing Li Dingguo with his pen.

From the greed and stupidity of the Guilin victory to the poisoning of Liu Wenxiu during the internal struggle between Jin and Shu, Li Dingguo became the target of these people's vents.

When 10,000+ Qing troops slaughtered Yunnan.

Wu Sangui almost cried.

Because unlike Donnie and others, he, the King of Pingxi, wants to control Yunnan forever.

According to the killing method of the Qing army, there were basically very few people left in Yunnan.

Wu Sangui and his men came to Yunnan to enjoy themselves.

If there is no one left in Yunnan, who will work for them?Who will farm the land for them?
We can't let Wu Fan open up wasteland and cultivate land by himself, right?

If this is the case, did Wu Fan come to Yongzhen Yunnan or to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?
So when the various departments of the Qing army burned, killed and looted.

The troops under Wu Sangui were trying their best to protect the people and their own property, showing the demeanor of a king's army.

Of course, some people in Wu Fan were so addicted to watching the friendly forces snatching away the money that they were ready to take action.

However, Wu Jun was generally good under the constraints of Wu Sangui, and became a breath of fresh air in the Qing army.

In this way, amid unprecedented terror, the Qing army's front continued to advance, quickly burning the flames of war into western Yunnan.

When the Qing army occupied Kunming on the third day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yongli had already rushed to Yongchang on the fourth day of the first lunar month and was about to enter Myanmar.

At this time, some of the courtiers who followed him spoke to him with tears in their eyes:

"His Majesty was still in Kunming, and he decided to go to Shu. Unfortunately, he changed his position and went directly to Yongchang. He has lost hope at home and abroad."

"Now Yongchang is at the end of the world. If we abandon this place again, we can only go to the barbarians."

"There are rumors everywhere now that the Holy See wants to visit Myanmar. Myanmar is a foreign country and often rebels and disobeys."

"Even if the Burmese people are loyal and obedient to welcome us now, how will the Burmese people view you and me, our monarch and our ministers, when we are in trouble and are here in a state of embarrassment?"

"Besides, if the Burmese use troops to block each other, what will happen to the Holy Master's advance and retreat?"

"Now the word "Zhongxing" is just the words of the ministers who love the king and father. In fact, there is no chance."

"Now that the matter has come to this, it's better to stay on the job and endure the gall! Stand firm here and never retreat!"

"On the outside, guard against the dangers of the pass; on the inside, we encourage people to teach farming and mulberry cultivation; we will defend it for more than a year, waiting for God's will to change!"

"Fortunately, there will be diligent kings everywhere!"

These ministers were anxious and angry when they saw Emperor Yongli running straight to Yongchang in one breath and leaving the country at the last step.

What would the soldiers who were still resisting the Qing army think of the emperor's running style?
If the emperor really abandons the country, how big a blow will it have to the anti-Qing patriots across the country?

All these people persuaded Yongli to stick to the Yongchang area and stop running away.

If we still persist in Yongchang and stick to it for a year and a half, maybe there will be a turn for the better in our Ming Dynasty.

If we run to Burma now, our Ming Dynasty will have no hope!
Even if they want to go to Myanmar, they have to wait until Li Dingguo's army arrives in Yongchang.

Otherwise, if we go directly to Myanmar without Li Dingguo's escort, we will definitely be attacked by others!
