Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 463 Surrounding Gao Guiying

"Brother Deng, what's the meaning of this? I, Xiong Wencan, was an old minister of Ming Dynasty, and I was highly valued by the emperor. How could I not think of helping the royal family and saving the people of the world from fire and water in times of crisis?" Xiong Wencan wanted to struggle.

"Emperor Apocalypse and Emperor Chongzhen are the ones who reused you. They are both gone. What you want to help is just a puppet emperor. You may not be able to succeed. To tell you the truth, our Kyushu Army has assembled five troops in Guangzhou. Thousands of soldiers, the original Yizhou army has been transferred here. If you dare to act rashly, our army will blockade the whole city and search all officials." Deng Qianlong said.

"You guys are going too far. Guilin and other places can still recruit [-] elite soldiers. There are also many Zhu family clansmen in Guangdong and Guangxi. As long as you raise your arms, you can rebuild the Ming court in Guangdong and Guangxi. You only have [-] soldiers, how dare you be arrogant?" Xiong Wencan was slightly angry.

"[-] elite soldiers? If the imperial court can gather [-] elite soldiers in one province at every turn, there will still be the defeat of Saarhu that day? If you call your throat, no one will come to support the Guangzhou government. On the contrary, Guangdong and Guangxi Each government will run its own affairs and rule on one side, and in the end it will only be the people in Guangdong and Guangxi who suffer." Deng Qianlong said.

Xiong Wencan was silent.

"For the present plan, it is better for you to use your prestige as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to take charge of all affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi for the time being, so that all localities can not act rashly, and make a decision after the situation is clear. When we get to Nanjing City, I'm afraid it will be spring, and it will be too late for anything." Deng Qianlong said again.

Xiong Wencan remained silent.He also knew that Fujian was separated from Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Nanyang Fleet could land in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi from any place on the shore. It was almost impossible to go north to support Nanjing.

"Let's not talk about this, drink well first, I have already ordered someone to fetch the food prepared in the inn." Deng Qianlong saw that Xiong Wencan was always being bullied, and was afraid of completely angering him, so as not to do something impulsive. alright.

Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi have long been infiltrated by the Nanyang Fleet. This large area should have become an important source of troops for Nanming and received the support of millions of people. Xiong Wencan or Xiong Wencan secretly surrendered to the Kyushu Army, or they did not dare to act rashly.

Compared with the flames of war in other places, the provinces in the south are peaceful, and there is no sign of troubled times.

When the southern corps attacked Nanjing City, the attack on the northern corps of Taiyuan Prefecture was also overwhelming.

Gao Guiying, who replaced Li Zicheng, fell into Zhang Yuan's trap and was surrounded on the hillside outside Zhending County.Originally tens of thousands of rogue troops were defeated and scattered in all directions.Only Gao Guiying hated Zhang Yuan to the bone, and Zhang Yuan cut off his back, so he was surrounded on the hillside.

The Kyushu army besieging the hillside brought artillery and shelled the hillside, and soldiers were killed by shells from time to time.The timid soldiers of the Dashun Army wanted to rush out of the encirclement, but every time they were shot and killed by the rifles of the Kyushu Army at the foot of the mountain, they had to shrink back.

"The soldiers of the Kyushu Army are all at the bottom of the mountain. Their muskets have a very long range. The brothers were forced to retreat as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain. There is no hope that they can break through the encirclement of the Kyushu Army!"

"We followed the Gao family in the decisive battle against the Kyushu Army. We have done our best. I think this battle has already been lost. There is no need to continue to struggle. Tens of thousands of us can't even beat the Kyushu Army's thousands of people. It is estimated that Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and the others are also suspenseful. I think it’s better to surrender to the Kyushu Army together.”

The general of the Dashun Army who was surrounded with Gao Guiying began to consider his own way out.If this continues, they will undoubtedly run out of troops and food, and be wiped out by Zhang Yuan.

A general of the Dashun Army had a gloomy face: "Why don't we take advantage of Gao's rest time and tie her up and dedicate her to Zhang Yuan at the foot of the mountain, just like what happened to Lu Bu at Baimenlou in the Three Kingdoms period. Take Zhang Yuan's resentment towards Li Zicheng and his wife , will definitely kill Gao Shi, and we will have no worries."

"Okay, let's do this! For the lives of thousands of brothers on this mountain, it's worth sacrificing a woman!" The other generals of the Dashun Army were also ruthless.

Zhang Yuan looked at Gao Guiying's general flag on the mountain, expressionless, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Xiangsheng had already led the Ming army of Zhending Mansion out of the city to chase down the defeated soldiers of the Dashun Army. After chasing for thirty miles and capturing a bunch of prisoners, he returned to join Zhang Yuan.The soldiers of the Dashun army dispersed in a flock of birds and beasts, and there were too many soldiers. The soldiers of the Ming army led by Lu Xiangsheng had arrested many people, almost one prisoner per person.

"General Zhang, this is a rare victory. Gao Guiying's troops have been wiped out, and only Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong from Taiyuan Mansion are left in the Dashun Army. They will definitely not be the opponents of our army who entered the customs. It was rare for Lu Xiangsheng to show a satisfied expression after being deflated many times.

"Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong are just clowns at this time, nothing to worry about." Zhang Yuan sneered at the remaining generals of the Dashun Army in Taiyuan Mansion.

Speaking of which, it was Zhang Yuan who encouraged Li Zicheng to imprison Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others. If Zhang Yuan was still in the Dashun army at this time, it would be impossible for these defeated generals to make a comeback.Once Li Zicheng died, even Gao Guiying could not become the second person to replace Li Zicheng.

"Brigade Commander, a white flag has been raised on the hillside, and the surrounded bandits have surrendered!" The frontline officers hurriedly reported to Zhang Yuan and the others.

Zhang Yuan and Lu Xiangsheng looked towards the direction of the hillside, and there was indeed a tattered white flag hanging its head, announcing the final disintegration of Li Zicheng's power in the Dashun Army.The Dashun Army no longer had any relationship with Li Zicheng.

"I heard that Gao Guiying has a strong temperament, but I didn't expect her to know that a person who understands current affairs is a hero, and she will no longer make unnecessary resistance." Lu Xiangsheng sighed.

"No, it is impossible for her to surrender." Zhang Yuan shook his head, "It is estimated that there was a mutiny on the hillside, and Gao Guiying was held hostage by his subordinates. If you don't believe me, just watch."

After a while, several generals of the Dashun Army raised their hands on the mountain road to show that they had no weapons.There was also a woman in front of them who was tied up and blocked the Kyushu Army guns that might appear in front of them.

"Zhang Yuan, you really understand people's hearts. I am far behind you in this." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help admiring Zhang Yuan when he saw that Zhang Yuan had a good prediction.

"If you have been with them in a place full of enemies for more than two years and you still can't reveal your identity, you will also know their character deeply." Zhang Yuan said.
