Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 605 Sun Kewang: One day I will go back
It was handed over to the Military Intelligence Department in the hope of knowing the whereabouts of Sun Kewang and other rogue veterans through the military intelligence department's interrogation.

If it is handed over to the Military Justice Division, the Military Justice Division will rule on the crimes of these captives, and then deal with them according to military law.Those who burned, killed and looted the common people like this and let the new army of the Ming Dynasty come across it, generally cannot escape the death penalty.

At the same time, Xu You did not forget to ask the scouts to investigate the surroundings, one to guard against the enemy, and the other to investigate the whereabouts of Sun Kewang and others.

Unfortunately, when the army led by Li Dingguo and Yang Guodong arrived in the afternoon, Xu You's troops still found nothing.

After Li Dingguo understood the whole situation, and added some information that the Military Intelligence Division had interrogated from the prisoners, he looked at the map and said: "At this point, they have fled south to Vietnam in addition to fleeing west to Yunnan.

In this way, Zongbing Yang led your troops and a town garrison to collect Lizhou (Xiazhou) to the west, and the governor took Biaozhen and a town garrison, and some chieftains went south to Zhen'anfu.

There are many chieftains in the west and south. Unless Sun Kewang and the others are broken up into pieces, as long as there are a little more people, it will not be so easy to pass. We still have a chance to catch up. "

Yang Guodong clasped his fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"

After speaking, the two began to divide their troops.

One day later, Yang Guodong, who was going west, successfully took Lizhou and other places that were originally occupied by the rogues, and killed or captured some of the rogues, but he did not find any traces of Sun Kewang's old camp.

On the other side, after two days of marching into Zhen'an Mansion, Li Dingguo finally got the news about Sun Kewang's old battalion.

This lifted the spirits of the soldiers, and immediately stepped up their pursuit.

It is difficult for Sun Kewang and others to move forward in Zhen'an Mansion.

Although they grabbed a wave of food and grass in Gukan Cave, after gathering Zhang Sheng and Di Sanpin, the team of three to 4000 people still ran out of food and grass in a few days.

So they could only go south while looting.

Originally, some local chieftain forces were still afraid of their large numbers, so they vigilantly did not provoke them.

But now that the Sun Kewang tribe frequently looted the village and slaughtered the clansmen, no chieftain could accept it.

Before these chieftains were united, each of them was relatively weak, so they were naturally no match for Sun Kewang's elite old battalion.

However, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their habit of fighting in the jungle, the surviving native warriors followed Sun Kewang and the others like tarsal gangrene, and when they found an opportunity, they shot cold arrows, or sneaked up on individual people who were alone, making Sun Kewang and the others The general took the trouble not to mention it, but also greatly slowed down the speed of his team going south.

After a few days like this, Li Dingguo's scouts finally made contact with Sun Kewang's outposts.

Sun Kewang originally wanted to abandon some wounded and weak personnel again, streamline the troops, and speed up the southward escape.

Only then did he move, and he was entangled by several combined chieftain teams.

Li Dingguo took the opportunity to lead Dubiao Town to attack and defeated Sun Kewang again.

In the battle to chase and flee in the jungle, Sun Kewang, who is the leader of the battle, has Cheng Wanli, Gong Yi, Wang Xianming, and Zhang Wenming under his command.

Captured the former generals of the Great Western Army Wang Ziqi and Wang Yunyun.

In addition, seven or eight hundred elites from Sun Kewang's old camp were beheaded, and more than five hundred people were captured.

However, there were also 500 elite bandits who died in the hands of the chieftain forces.

Because the battlefield was in the jungle and the fighting time was close to dusk, Sun Kewang was still unable to be caught in the end, allowing him to escape with some of the rogue backbone.

Considering that after the defeat of the thieves this time, there is a high probability that the thieves who will eventually gather around Sun Kewang will be less than a thousand, or even less than five hundred, so Li Dingguo entrusts the task of continuing to pursue them to the chieftains of Zhen'an Mansion and Guishun Prefecture.

He took the army to camp and rest on the spot.

Originally, he wanted to let the telecommunications team send a message to Nanjing that night to convey the report on the bandit suppression battle.But the telecommunications team told him that it was impossible to contact the telecommunications office here.

"Do you know why?" Li Dingguo asked.

"I don't know yet." The telecommunications team leader frowned, "Maybe this place is too tall and densely forested, or there is a natural magnetic field that can affect radio transmission."

Li Dingguo frowned into a big pimple.

He couldn't understand it at all.

In fact, the people in the telecommunications team don't know much about these things, they just recited the relevant knowledge during the training, and now they just follow the script.

"Is there a solution?" Li Dingguo asked again.

"No, I can only wait for the army to set out tomorrow, and try it in a place that is open enough."

Originally, Li Dingguo wanted to ask the Military Affairs Council for instructions, whether he should lead the army to continue chasing Sun Kewang.

In fact, he has now completed the task assigned by the court to exterminate the bandits of Sun Kewang's tribe.

Sun Kewang's troops were originally entrenched in Qingyuan Prefecture and Sicheng Prefecture, with tens of thousands of troops.Now there may be only a few hundred people left after being beaten by him, and they are still fleeing to Vietnam. When they actually escape to Vietnam, Guangxi will be fine.

If Sun Kewang can go to Vietnam alive, as long as he is not stupid, he will not return to Daming.Because Da Ming doesn't have the soil to breed thieves now, and the strength of Da Ming's army is getting stronger and stronger, he will only seek abuse when he comes back.

As a general with some experience in governing the local area, although Li Dingguo does not need to govern the local area now, or even worry about logistics issues, it is unwise to lead an army of tens of thousands to pursue hundreds of remnants of the enemy in complex terrain.

It was only because he and Sun Kewang were both adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong after all, and he was worried that the court would misunderstand that he deliberately let Sun Kewang go, so he hesitated whether to lead the pursuit.

If it weren't for this relationship, he was ready to declare the war over.

After a night.

Li Dingguo led the army to continue to the south, preparing to go to Zhen'an Prefecture to govern moral protection.At the same time, he dismissed most of the chieftain soldiers, leaving only a small number of elites as guides.

After he arrived in Debao, the telecommunications team finally contacted the Nanjing Telecommunications Office...

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Auntie Zhu received the telegram and battle report from Li Dingguo, as well as the follow-up request for instructions on how to chase down the remnants of Sun Kewang.

If it was in the mainland of Ming Dynasty, like when Li Zicheng was trapped in Shangluo Mountain and Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in Guizhou Mountain, the thieves would easily resurface.

But Sun Kewang's situation here is obviously different.

After Sun Kewang left Daming, it would be very difficult to come back. Even if he sneaked back, it would be impossible to pull up another army of thieves.

In addition, it is actually useful for Daming to let Sun Kewang go to Vietnam.

"Let Sun Kewang go to Vietnam, no matter whether he can make a big disturbance there, as long as he is still alive, Daming will have one more excuse to send troops to Vietnam in the future." Hao Guangming said on the other side.

"Well, that's exactly what I thought." Aunt Zhu smiled, "Besides, although the imperial court has sufficient money and food, it is not so extravagant to send tens of thousands of troops into the jungle to chase down hundreds of remnants of the enemy."

"Well said."

After that, Aunt Zhu held a small military meeting, discussed with Li Yan and others, and then sent a telegram military order to Li Dingguo.

There are two main contents.

One is to let Li Dingguo assign the task of chasing down Sun Kewang's remnants to the local chieftain, and inform the local chieftain of the reward Sun Kewang has given by the court-5000 taels for capturing him alive, and only 3000 taels for capturing his head.

The second is to let Li Dingguo lead the army to celebrate the New Year on the spot in Debao, Zhen'an Prefecture. After the Spring Festival, he will lead the army to inspect the important gates on the southern border of Guangxi and assume the responsibility of admiral of Guangxi military affairs.

Sending troops to cooperate with Yang Zhan to pacify Shadingzhou in Yunnan Province, the court will hand over to Yang Guodong's No.19 Town to do it.

As for the evaluation of the credit and distribution of rewards for this battle, it will not be settled so quickly, and it will take some time for the results...
half a month later.

In northern Vietnam, a small mountain village was attacked by more than 300 robbers, and the men in the village were massacred.

Standing in front of the mountain village intersection, looking at the blood and fire in the village, Sun Kewang, who looked like a savage with tangled beard and hair, burst out laughing.

After laughing, he couldn't help but look back to the north, and murmured with complicated emotions: "One day I will go back."

　First more.
