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

On the 16nd of the leap month of the 22th year of Shunzhi, Wu Sangui, Doni and others were defeated and returned to Yongchang.

At this time, a month has passed since Sun Kewang entered Huguang on a large scale.

Although the cavalry of the Qianqian army came out in all directions, cutting off the official roads in Hunan, causing obstacles in the Qing army's military information transmission.

In addition, there were many Nanming remnants and chieftains in Guizhou, making it difficult for the Qing army to build a post system.

And because Wu Sangui and Doni had already penetrated deep into western Yunnan, it further increased the difficulty of transmitting military information.

But after more than a month of hard work, Hunan's military information was still spread to the troops of Doni and Wu Sangui.

"What! Sun Kewang rebelled!" Duny, who had just been defeated and returned to Yongchang, was in shock when he heard this and almost couldn't breathe.

"Master, it's true. Xian Guoan and Chen De are dead, Guilin and Yongzhou have been lost. I'm afraid that by now, the whole of Hunan has fallen into the hands of Sun Kewang!" the messenger said with a sad face.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Donnie yelled, preparing to retreat.

"Your Majesty, our army still has many defeated troops that have not been gathered together. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to withdraw our troops now!" Zhao Butai quickly added.

The Qing army had just withdrawn to Yongchang and was still in shock.

Zhao Butai made some calculations and found that out of the [-] Qing troops, only [-] were left.

If they retreat now, the scattered soldiers will basically be in danger.

Now only by making amends and making amends can Zhao Butai have some hope!

If we just withdraw like this, it would be impossible to carry these 2 people back with us!
"General Zhengnan, if Hunan is lost, our Qing army of 10,000+ will be locked in Yunnan and Guizhou!"

Doni gritted his teeth and said: "If we don't return to Kunming as soon as possible and reorganize our troops, our army will be trapped in Yunnan and Guizhou when summer comes!"

"And Yunnan has already been in flames. Today's autumn harvest can no longer be expected. Once our army runs out of food and grass, the 10,000+ army may be in danger!"

Sun Kewang entered Hunan, and Duni and the others naturally knew that the food and grass supplies from Jiangnan and Huguang could no longer be counted on.

Guizhou was in flames of war, and Yunnan was turned into a hell on earth by Dhoni and others.

It was fun for the Qing army to burn, kill and loot, but then Sun Kewang took action.

What else can Doni and the others hope for in the devastated Yunnan?
"Alas! I regret that I should have relaxed military discipline!" Belledulan regretted it.

After the Qing Dynasty entered Yunnan, they burned, killed and looted all the way, completely destroying the production order in Yunnan.

Now that Sun Kewang has cut off their food route, the 10,000+ Qing troops will cry as they watch Yunnan being devastated!

"Send the order and strictly order all armies to harass the people!"

"Let officials from various places appease the people and organize spring plowing. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

Donnie gritted his teeth and issued his military order.

The main food route of the Qing army has been cut off. In the past, they could wreak havoc in Yunnan, but now they can't.

If we continue to do so, I'm afraid it would be a mistake, and our Qing Dynasty's 10,000+ army would have to starve to death in Yunnan guarding the gold and silver!

"King Xin, our army has been trapped in Yunnan and Guizhou. The only solution now is to counterattack Hunan and open up the food route." Luo Keduo, the king of Pingjun, sighed.

"As of now, our army has only one way to go. If we return from Sichuan north, I'm afraid many people will be separated along the way!" Donnie also lamented when he heard this.

For them, although they now have an army of 10,000+, the current situation in Yunnan and Guizhou cannot allow the Qing army to be self-sufficient.

If you want to break the situation, you have two choices: going east and going north.

If Dhoni and others go north to Sichuan with 10,000+ people, then the thousands of miles of no man's land in Sichuan will become their nightmare!
To lead an army through long distances in no man's land requires extremely strong logistical capabilities.

But looking at the current situation in Yunnan and Guizhou, even if there is food in Kunming, can Hong Chengchou organize so many people to transport Dhoni?
Even if so many people were organized, 10,000+ Qing troops could escape after heading north.

I am afraid that the Yunnan-Guizhou region will undergo earth-shaking changes immediately.

When the backup is cut off and there are 10,000+ troops in Sichuan, they will have no choice but to kill the horses first and then the people.

After all this, even if they escaped to Shaanxi and Gansu, there would not be many people left.

"Yes! Sun Kewang only has 10 remnant troops. Even if he recruits [-] horses, in just one year, he is no match for our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!"

Belle Shangshan said: "Going north to Sichuan is tantamount to abandoning Yunnan and Guizhou and letting my 10,000+ troops of the Qing Dynasty disperse!"

"Only by fighting back to Hunan and opening up the food route! By demonstrating the power of our Eight Banners, can we stabilize people's hearts and save the crisis!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the Qing army nodded.

Hunan is different from Sichuan. If the Qing Dynasty fled directly from Sichuan, people in the southwest would be out of control.

But if you choose to counterattack Hunan, you can still hope to save the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Qing army's logistical pressure will be much less.

After all, when we went to Sichuan, our Qing army ran out of food and grass, so we had no choice but to kill the horses first and then the horses.

But when you go to Hunan, you can feed the people.

No matter what, Hunan with people is much better than Sichuan with no people!

"Reorganize the troops quickly and return to Kunming first!" Donnie gritted his teeth.

"King Xin, what should we do with the Manchu and Mongolian disciples in our army who have not returned yet?" Zhao Butai asked quickly.

Now the battle of Mopanshan has been lost, but if you can save a Manchu and Mongolian child, just save a Manchu and Mongolian child.

"Li Dingguo is cunning. Our army has been defeated again. We cannot stay in Yongchang for a long time. Let Wu Sangui lead the troops to break up the rear and gather the remaining troops!" Doni waved.

The next day, after learning that his escape route had been confiscated, Doni hurried back to Kunming.

However, Wu Sangui's tribe was left behind and stationed in Yongchang.

"Your Majesty, these bastard Tatars, or we should withdraw too. Who knows when Li Dingguo will come to Yongchang. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Your Majesty to be here." Wu Guogui, the general of Wu Fan, said.

Wu Sangui originally had [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. After entering Guizhou, he recruited a large number of Ming troops and chieftain soldiers, with [-] soldiers.

However, after entering Yunnan, the troops were divided along the way. When they arrived at Mopan Mountain, there were only more than 1 troops left.

After the bloody battle, thousands more elites were killed.

At this time, the Wu army in Yongchang only had six to seven thousand soldiers and horses.

"Tell the brothers to be prepared. Once Li Dingguo comes to attack, I will take them back to Kunming!" Wu Sangui stood on the wall of Yongchang and sneered.

The army was newly defeated, and Doni himself refused to lead his troops to stay in Yongchang to collect the defeated army, but allowed him to stay here and die.

Wu Sangui is not so easy to fool!
However, for several days, there was no movement from Li Dingguo's side, and the surrounding area of ​​Yongchang City was extremely quiet.

Wu Sangui was very puzzled and ordered his scouts to conduct in-depth reconnaissance, only to find that Li Dingguo's troops had already evacuated.

Wu Jun's scout cavalry passed through Mopan Mountain without encountering any abnormalities.

"Your Majesty, the scouts arrived at Tengyue. There were only a few hundred Ming troops there. After seeing our scouts, they quickly retreated." Hu Guozhu came to report.

"Send someone to lead troops to take over Teng Yue and isolate the Ming army from contact."

Although Wu Sangui was suspicious, he knew that Tengyue was important and he still sent someone to take over the land abandoned by Li Dingguo.At this point, after the Ming army won the Battle of Mopan Mountain, they completely lost the land in western Yunnan.

In February, Doni led the defeated army back to Kunming.

"What! Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou secretly hid the third prince Zhu with the intention of treason!" At this time, Duni and others finally received the secret order from the Qing Dynasty and were shocked.

"King Xin, this matter is absolutely true. Ao Shaobao personally interrogated and tortured him to extract a confession, and then he learned this shocking secret!"

"Wu Sangui has long been secretly disloyal to our Qing Dynasty. I'm afraid Hong Chengchou won't be much better!" the envoy said slowly.

"But in the battle at Mopan Mountain, Wu Sangui almost died in the battle?" Donnie asked.

"King Xin, at that time our Qing Dynasty was so powerful that Wu Sangui would not dare to make any mistakes, but at this time the Sun thieves have already occupied Hunan. If we do not take strict precautions, I am afraid that Hong and Wu will definitely be detrimental to our Qing Dynasty!"

"Now that things have happened, King Xin should lead his troops back to Guizhou as quickly as possible, counterattack Hunan, and open up the food route. Otherwise, things will change if it is too late!"

Donnie and others were shocked.

After entering Yungui, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui performed very hard, and they did not look like rebellious ministers harboring evil intentions.

But the secret order in front of them forced them to follow it.

"King Xin, why don't we kill Hong Chengchou now and then send troops to destroy Wu Sangui!" Du Lan suggested.

"No!" the envoy said quickly: "Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou are two-faced and treacherous."

"But now the situation in our Qing Dynasty is critical. Once we merge with Hong Wu, I am afraid that Sun Kewang will be advantaged in vain!"

"The best strategy is to quickly bring troops and horses to counterattack Hunan!"

Donnie and others also began to think deeply after hearing this.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou were indeed reticent. If they had a falling out in Yunnan, they would even be killed in a surprise attack.

The Green Battalion under Hong Chengchou was okay, but the troops under Wu Sangui were definitely going to rebel.

Now that I am completely defeated, if there is another civil strife like this, I am afraid that I will not have the strength to deal with Sun Kewang.

"Then leave Yunnan to Wu Sangui, a rebellious minister and traitor. After we deal with Sun Kewang, we will destroy this traitor!" Doni immediately led his soldiers and horses to lure the Qing troops from all over Yunnan back to Guizhou.

Half a month later, Wu Sangui led his troops back to Kunming, only to find that what he was left with was almost an empty city.

"Teacher, I originally thought that Mingshi's strength was exhausted, but the battle situation has taken a turn for the worse. What should I do as a student? Please teach me."

In Kunming City, Wu Sangui asked Hong Chengchou for advice with a solemn expression.

Due to the extraordinary relationship between Hong and Wu, although Duni took away a large number of Green Camp soldiers, Hong Chengchou did not move, so as not to alert Wu Sangui and let Wu Sangui notice the abnormality and completely break up with our Qing Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Uncle Chang, we have worked hard for the imperial court for many years. What do you think now?"

"Teacher, the court is jealous of me, worried about me, and afraid of me!" Wu Sangui said bitterly.

"Uncle, I feel the same way. Not only does the court not trust you, it also doesn't trust me!" Hong Chengchou sighed, feeling extremely sad and angry.

"Teacher, with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who have students, you will have no worries." Wu Sangui said with cupped hands.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

"Uncle Chang, now you are trapped in Yunnan. If you want to break the situation, you only have three words to tell!"

"Please ask the teacher to teach me!" Wu Sangui said quickly.

"Take the emperor hostage!"

"What are you trying to do to hold the emperor hostage?" Wu Sangui was shocked.

"The Emperor is far away in Beijing, how can I take him there?"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "This emperor is not the Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, but the sage king of the Ming Dynasty."

"What!" Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly widened.

"Uncle Chang, now that things have happened, the court has become suspicious of you and me!"

Hong Chengchou said solemnly: "If you hadn't been sitting with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, not only you, but even the teacher would have been taken away by Doni, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead!"

"In this case, the court is unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Chang Bo, you originally have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If you can raise the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty and support the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses such as Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Qi Sansheng, and He Jiuyi in Yunnan will be able to help you in an instant. Used!"

"With this one hundred thousand troops, march east to Guizhou and north to Sichuan!"

"Gao Cheng'en, Wang Youde and other Ming generals will surely respond, and Li Benzhen, Zhang Guozhu, Zheng Jiaolin and other Han generals will switch sides to help!"

"Even if Doni and others don't die in Guizhou, they can only retreat northward in a hurry with [-] Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners!"

"And Uncle Chang can command an army of 10,000+ and attack Shaanxi and Gansu in one go!"

"Although Hanzhong is a dangerous place, Chang Bo has been stationed here for ten years and is proficient in the mountains, rivers, geography, humanities and scenery!"

"This place can stop other people, but it can't stop only the eldest uncle!"

"Wait until we capture Hanzhong and enter Shaanxi-Gansu! The Northwest Green Camp has been managed by Uncle Chang for many years. If you hear about it, you will be moved by the wind!"

“In this way, the land of Shaanxi and Gansu will be within reach!”

"At this time, if Chang Bo advances, he can advance towards Beijing and dominate the world. If he retreats, he can stick to Shaanxi and Gansu. He can sit back and watch the battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties and think of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Sangui was shocked.

Hong Chengchou is trying to persuade himself to rebel!
"Teacher, although this plan is good, it is just too dangerous." Wu Sangui spoke with difficulty.

What Hong Chengchou said is actually quite reasonable.

As long as Wu Sangui raises the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty, the scattered Ming armies across Yunnan will instantly become his support.

Gao Chengen, Wang Youde and others in Sichuan will definitely respond to him, and the Shun army in Kuidong will not become enemies in a short time.

Once Wu Sangui gets into trouble, Doni and others will be under the attack of Sun Wu and others in Guizhou.

Li Benzhen, Zhang Guozhu, Zheng Jiaolin and others, as long as Wu Sangui dares to take the lead, they will dare to rebel!
As a result, Dhoni has almost no chance of winning in Guizhou.

After Guizhou and Sichuan were captured, a large number of Xiying and Green Camp soldiers were accepted.

Wu Sangui, who had more than [-] troops, could attack Shaanxi and Gansu directly in one go.

Although Qinling and Hanzhong are naturally dangerous.

But Wu Sangui has been stationed and operating here for ten years!

What Zhuge Liang couldn't do was actually easy for Wu Sangui!
Not only in Qinling and Hanzhong, Wu Sangui also had high prestige in the green camp of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Once they lead their troops across the Qinling Mountains and enter Shaanxi and Gansu, the Northwestern Han Dynasty will surely respond!Only Wu Sangui followed suit!
It can be said that as long as Wu Sangui is willing to give it a try, Wu Sangui has a good chance of achieving the title of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty! (End of chapter)
