Chapter 3 Strategic Transfer
"drive!"

Countless war horses galloped on the avenues. In the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou was barren. The main reason why the province was established was to communicate the transportation lines between the inland and Yunnan. Among them, there were three major roads from Guizhou to Yunnan.

The most important one is the cable bridge from Guiyang to Anshun, passing through Beipanjiang, passing through Puning Mansion, Qujing Mansion, and directly to Kunming. This road is the route for Sun Kewang's 14 troops, and now it is also the strategic route for thousands of remnants .

"My lord, the soldiers are exhausted, please take a rest." The cavalry general Wang Dewang said wearily.

"Okay! All the soldiers get off their horses and rest!" Sun Kewang let out a soft shout, full of energy.

Thousands of former soldiers who had been running around for a long time got off their horses one after another. They galloped like the wind and had already escaped from Qujing Mansion and Pu'an Mansion. They arrived at Yongning Prefecture in Annanwei, not far from the Beipanjiang Bridge.

As long as they cross the chain bridge and cut the chain, they will be safe for the time being if they destroy the bridge.

Soon this well-trained army, under the command of generals at all levels, plundered the grain and grass in the warehouse of Yongning Prefecture, buried pots to make food, and the war horses who had been running for a long time were also fed with food.

Although the horses can run, they must have enough food and fodder. Now that the horsepower has been exhausted, they must rest and recuperate if they want to return to Guiyang. Only in this way can the horse regain its strength.

"Liang Cheng!" Sun Kewang called out the name of a general from memory.

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, immediately said respectfully: "Master, my subordinates are here."

After Sun Kewang enshrined the reign title of Yongli, he set up six departments in Guiyang to be in charge of the administration of the Yunnan-Guizhou region. While setting up the administrative team, he, the king, did not forget to set up the Jinyiwei, a secret service agency. His minion Zhang Hu was the commander of the Jinyiwei. , the veritable top leader, the spy chief under the lord of the country, and Liang Cheng is the second in command of the Jinyiwei, commanding the colleagues.

"After the horses eat the concentrate, you lead fifty riders to the Beipanjiang Iron Cable Bridge! Don't spare the horsepower, you must control the bridge, and don't let the news of the defeat spread to Anshun and Guiyang!"

"Yes!" Liang Cheng saluted respectfully, and then left quickly.

After being defeated like a mountain, Sun Kewang had no choice but to make amends and try his best to prevent the defeated troops from spreading the news prematurely.

"My lord, for the current plan, we should burn down the Iron Chain Bridge, temporarily stop Li Dingguo's pursuit, and then dispatch Ma Jinzhong from Anshun and Feng Shuangli from Guiyang to rectify the troops and horses and fight Li Dingguo again!"

General Wang Dewang, who ranks second only to Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu in the Jiaqian army, spoke respectfully and offered advice to Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang sighed, and said slowly: "It's too late, Gu said before that Ma Jinzhong is also rebellious, and Feng Shuangli will have other thoughts when he sees that Gu is poor."

"What!" The generals in front of the car turned pale with shock.

Historically, when Sun Kewang was defeated, he brought a part of the loyal Jiaqian army to Anshun, trying to rely on Ma Jinzhong's more than [-] troops stationed in Anshun to regroup.Gather the defeated remnants and defeat Li Dingguo again,

As a result, Ma Jinzhong not only refused to accept him behind closed doors, but instead sent troops to pursue Sun Kewang, causing the king to flee again, not only failed to gather the scattered troops, but also lost a large number of loyal troops.

By the time he rushed back to Guiyang in late September, there were only a few soldiers around him due to the rout of thousands of miles. At the critical moment, Sun Kewang, the leader of the country, tried to rely on the more than 2 former army soldiers at the Guiyang base camp to deal with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.

So he sent the general Feng Shuangli who stayed in Guiyang to lead the troops to guard the main road of Weiqing to resist Liu Wenxiu's pursuit.

However, when Sun Kewang went out, there were 10,000 brave men, and [-]+ troops marched into Yunnan, and when they came back, there were only a few entourages. Feng Shuangli saw that he was so unwilling to give his life to Sun Kewang, so instead of helping the king stabilize the situation in Guizhou, he was chasing troops Before the arrival, three cannons were fired, and Sun Kewang, who had become a frightened bird at this time, was in a panic. He left the last army in the Guiyang base camp hastily, and ran eastward out of the city with his wife, children and attendants.

Along the way, because the king was already a dog in the water, and there were very few soldiers under his command, most of the guards in Guizhou and Xiangxi stayed behind closed doors, and only Wu Fengsheng from Jingzhou led his troops to welcome him.

At the end of the road, Sun Kewang, the lord of the country, made a decision to disobey his adoptive father and deny all his achievements in the first half of his life——Jingqing!
"Now Li Dingguo has humiliated the orphan to this point. I don't hesitate to spare the few hairs. I should surrender to the Qing master to avenge this eternal hatred!"

After learning that the king had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, many of the few remaining soldiers of the Qianqian army dispersed, and finally they were intercepted and killed by Yang Wu, the commander-in-chief of Wugang under the command of Sun Kewang, who was guarding Wugang and other places. A hundred remnants of defeated generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Sun Kewang.

However, among the last few hundred soldiers, there are still quite a few generals of the Jiaqian Army. It is said that there are 22 general soldiers and more than 100 middle and low-level generals on the list of Jiangqing.

The lord of the country is originally a hero, but how can he be a dog!Without him running Yunnan and Guizhou, relying on the two poorest provinces to pull more than [-] field troops to fight against the Manchu Qing, Nanming would have been gone long ago, but things are different, and among the one and a half people who can turn the world around, Li Zicheng Sun Kewang, who was dead but half hopeful, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became the leading party.

Only Li Dingguo, who lacked political ability, was left, and Yungui was reduced to a complete mess, which made Liu Wenxiu angry to death.

"Soldiers, don't panic. I have received some advice from a god and you already know everything."

Sun Kewang played tricks and calmed people down by saying: "Ma Jinzhong was originally a surrendered general, so it's not surprising that he did such a rebellious thing. Although Feng Shuangli is active in his mind, he is not able to easily mobilize the more than 2 former soldiers in Guiyang."

"When we return to Guiyang, with these more than 2 old brothers, the [-] cavalry led by Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu will return. With these troops and horses, the situation can be more difficult than it was ten years ago. Our Great Western Army has nothing to lose. There is no way to enter the land, when the Tatars and Zeng Ying are blocking the Yangtze River?"

"That's right! The lord is right!" General Wang Dewang said: "That day when the king died on Phoenix Mountain, our army of hundreds of thousands in Daxi collapsed. Before that, the Qing army led by Hauge was chasing us, and later Zeng Ying's ten soldiers The Wanming army intercepted them, but under the leadership of the lord, we killed Zeng Ying and moved to Guizhou and Yunnan. The defeated army will grow to an army of 10,000+!"

"Now the king still has tens of thousands of front-line army brothers, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Chongqing, Chenzhou, Wugang and other places! Although he suffered a great defeat, with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, he is enough to fight Li Dingguo again. !”
