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

Since ancient times, there have been only three roads from south to north.

One is Qinling, one is Xiangyang, and the other is Jianghuai.

Behind these three roads are Bashu, Jingxiang, and Jiangnan.

Jingxiang is already in the hands of Li Laiheng, and Bashu is within Wu Sangui's sphere of influence.

If Zheng Chenggong were to take over Jiangnan again, Sun Kewang's way north would be completely blocked.

Therefore, Sun Kewang, the land south of the Yangtze River, cannot be given away.

If Zheng Chenggong captured Nanjing, he would have to take the lead and occupy Huainan first, and then force Zheng Jun to give way to the Yangtze River waterway.

In this way, he could use this as a basis for the Northern Expedition to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In this process, the two sides are bound to have friction, and they may even fight for the land south of the Yangtze River and start a civil war.

For Sun Guozhu, Zheng Jun is undoubtedly the weakest among the three forces.

Let alone Li Laiheng's difficulty in making a move, the tens of thousands of veterans of the Shun Army alone were far more powerful than the Zheng Army.

As for Wu Sangui, if Sun Ke hopes to choose to capture Yunnan and Guizhou, then restore Sichuan, and then go north to Shaanxi and Gansu.

Even if he takes over these territories, the thousands of miles of logistical lines alone will be enough to give him a headache.

Therefore, seizing the south of the Yangtze River, opening up water transportation, and relying on the canal to carry out the Northern Expedition were Sun Kewang's best choice.

This is also a plan that he must not give up.

In order to develop space, Sun Kewang would not hesitate to fight Zheng Chenggong.

Although he was unwilling to fight a civil war in his heart, the people under his command would never agree.

It would be frustrating to think about it if their most powerful force was blocked in the south by Zheng Chenggong.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong was ultimately defeated in the Battle of Nanjing, and Sun Kewang was able to take Jiangnan as a matter of course and postpone the civil war.

Otherwise, before the Tartars are exterminated, the Western Army will rub against the Zheng Army in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really inappropriate.

Of course, Lord Sun is definitely not afraid, he just doesn't want to.

After all, he came with thirteen soldiers and horses, not to mention a mere 50,000 Zheng troops, even if there were more than 100,000, the elite soldiers and generals under the command of Lord Sun would not be afraid at all.

You must know that although Zheng Jun had a glorious moment of victory in Zhenjiang, the most capable generals under Guo Xingye were only Ma Xin and others.

Ma Xin is the deputy general of Taizhou, and he is not too strong in the battle sequence of the Green Camp.

Although after defecting to Zheng Chenggong, these northern soldiers and generals still had no shortage of food and pay.

But Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng under Sun Kewang were able to defeat the main force of the Eight Banners. The two sides were not at the same level at all.

The river flows quietly, and more than 3,000 ships stretch for dozens of miles, relying on the river to continue southward.

Suddenly a signal flare was fired, and a light boat quickly sailed towards the flagship.

"Master, Zhang Huangyan should have arrived." Wan Niance said slowly.

Ma Zhaoxi and Wan Niance are the most capable civil servants under Sun Kewang.

He had been preparing military supplies in Guangdong and Guangxi before. After the Battle of Baoqing, Wan Niance was transferred to the army.

He was prepared to take charge of the government affairs in Jiangnan after Nanjing was captured.

But Ma Zhaoxi still stayed in Guangdong and Guangxi, and Wang Ziqi was a civil and military force, preparing to take Guangzhou and completely straighten out the military and political affairs in Guangdong.

Then troops were sent to attack Fujian and Jiangxi.

"Ten years of sailing, I am a lonely man." Sun Kewang raised his telescope and said, "Since six years ago, Zhang Cangshui has been trying his best to raise money, hoping to reunite with the lonely man in Jiangnan. Now, although he has gone back and forth thousands of times, he can finally meet. "

On the water of Wuhu, Zhang Huangyan learned that Sun Kewang's army had arrived, and Zhang Huangyan quickly sailed there.

The two people who were supposed to meet in Jiangnan many years ago finally met after going through many vicissitudes and ups and downs.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huangyan, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin."

On the flagship, Zhang Huangyan looked at the famous Sun Kewang and bowed his hands.

The subordinates frowned slightly when they heard that King Qin's second name was Sun Kewang.

"Mr. Cang Shui, there is no need to be polite." Sun Kewang smiled slightly and helped Zhang Huangyan up.

Zhang Huangyan looked at the vast fleet in front of him and was filled with excitement.

Although King Yanping was defeated, His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty led an army of 100,000 to the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as these tiger and wolf troops arrive, the situation in the entire Jiangnan area becomes dire again.

"Cang Shui Gong, you should be regarded as the king of the country." Liu Xuanchu slowly reminded him.

Zhang Huangyan frowned when he heard this.

For him, there are many differences between the King of Qin and the Lord.

Although he has always known great gifts, unlike the rotten scholars, he has no discrimination against thieves and pirates.

If not for this, he and Zhang Mingzhen would not have entered the Yangtze River three times and tried their best to help Sun Kewang in the Yangtze River battle.

It's just that he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty after all. If Sun Kewang is unwilling to regain his Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan will naturally have mixed feelings in his heart.

"Master of the country, King Qin, Mr. Cang Shui, you can call me whatever you like."

Sun Kewang waved his hand lightly. He had long abandoned the title King Qin.

It's just that Zhang Huangyan is different from ordinary people. He is a lonely minister who has been sailing for ten years. Why should Sun Kewang and Zhang Huangyan care about these trivial matters?

For this Cang Shui Gong who is loyal to Mingshi and has no black spots.

Not only others, but also the Manchus showed respect.

Sun Kewang will naturally respect him.

Zhang Huangyan's brows softened slightly after hearing this, but his mood was still heavy.

He naturally knew that Sun Kewang was a thief and would not have much respect for Mingshi.

But even though he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't bear the good land to fall into the hands of the Tartars in vain, and hundreds of millions of people to be turned into slaves and allowed to be bullied.

That's why he did his best during the Battle of the Yangtze River to try to attract the Qin vassal king's army.

Now the King of the Qin Dynasty has finally arrived. He can be expected in the south of the Yangtze River and in the whole world!

However, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but worry about the future of Mingshi.

With the attitude of Sun Kewang and the civil and military men under him, it seems that they will no longer be able to do Guo Ziyi.

"Mr. Cang Shui, are you willing to help me restore Jiangnan and rescue millions of people from the hands of the Tartars?"

Sun Kewang spoke slowly and asked.

"This is natural. It is the official's wish to restore the homeland and prevent the people from being bullied by the Tartars."

Zhang Huangyan solemnly raised his hands and said: "I am willing to take my troops and horses to be the vanguard of the King of Qin, first conquer Nanjing, and then recover Jiangnan!"

"Okay!" Sun Kewang laughed.

"Then there's Lao Cang Shui Gong."

Zhang Huangyan shook his head when he heard this and put those things behind him.

In any case, it is better to let Jiangnan fall into the hands of Sun Kewang than to continue to be ravaged by the Tatars.

On this point, Zhang Huangyan is different from Wen Anzhi and others.

He would rather let the rogues become powerful than allow the Tartars to act cruelly!

"King Qin, you led an army of 100,000 troops eastward to the south of the Yangtze River. Could it be that you have defeated Duni's army in Hunan?"

"That's natural. In the battle of Baoqing, I was forced to fight to the death with my subordinates. With the help of the army, I was able to defeat the Tartars and kill 100,000 Qing troops and 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers!"

"Now that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, it will be impossible to raise an army of 100,000 people in a few months." Sun Kewang said with a slight smile.

"What!" Zhang Huangyan was shocked, then overjoyed. Although he had already made speculations in his mind, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard what Sun Kewang said personally.

Unexpectedly, the east is not bright but the west is bright.

The Battle of Nanjing, which he worked so hard for, was ultimately in vain due to Zheng Chenggong's arrogance.

Instead, Sun Kewang of Hunan unexpectedly defeated the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and came down the river.

"The King of Qin is a great talent, and the army in front of the palace is mighty. Please accept Huangyan's bow!" Zhang Huangyan bowed respectfully with great dignity.

Sun Kewang and his Dianqian army arrived here in time.

Not only did he save him and thousands of his disciples from eastern Zhejiang, but he also saved countless gentry.

Since Zhang Huangyan entered the army, in the upper reaches of Nanjing alone, villagers from four prefectures and 24 counties have mobilized to fight against the enemy.

If Sun Ke hopes not to come, Zheng Chenggong will be defeated.

A bloody storm is bound to happen again in this great river and mountain!

Millions of lives in the four prefectures and twenty-four counties will die under the sword of the Qing Dynasty!

"Haha, Mr. Cang Shui doesn't need a big gift. Nanjing has not yet been taken, and Jiangnan has not been restored. You and I have to continue to work hard." Sun Kewang laughed and helped Zhang Huangyan again.

"That's natural!" Zhang Huangyan said firmly: "This time, Nanjing will be destroyed and Jiangnan will be restored!"

On the first day of August, Zhang Huangyan mobilized all his troops in Wuhu and joined forces with Sun Kewang. The army of hundreds of thousands continued to march eastward, aiming directly at Nanjing.

In the Taiping Mansion, Lieutenant General Liu Shixian clung to his braid, which he had just cut off a few days ago.

He served Mele Zhangjing Marsai with a charming look on his face.

Taiping Mansion is located in the upper reaches of Nanjing and is naturally the gateway to Nanjing.

So after the Battle of Nanjing, Marseille led a thousand troops to collect them.

Originally there were only a thousand soldiers and horses, but there were more than three thousand green soldiers in Taiping Mansion.

Defending the city again, Liu Shixian could naturally block these thousands of Qing troops with the help of the fortified city.

But when the defeat of Nanjing came, the people of Taiping Mansion were already dispersed.

If we rely on the city to guard it, I'm afraid that after the city is broken, there will be no chickens or dogs left.

Therefore, neither the gentry in the city nor the green camp soldiers under Liu Shixian dared to resist.

The Taiping Mansion once again raised the flag of the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone was looking for the braid that had been cut off in the trash in a panic.

Even in order to save their heads, many people fought with fists and kicks just to change their braids, which resulted in bloodshed.

Amidst the chaos, a thousand Qing troops entered the city.

In order to survive, the gold, silver, beauties, and antiques in the city were stuffed into the hands of the Mandarin.

I’m not afraid that the Manchurians will think it’s too little, but I’m afraid that the Manchurians won’t accept it!

"Lieutenant General Wang, you are very good." Marsai said drunkenly: "When I give General Kakamu a discount tomorrow, your Taiping Mansion will not need to slaughter."

"Thank you, Lady Ma! Thank you, Lady Ma!"

Upon hearing this, all the Green Camp officers quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but slap themselves.

Why couldn't I hold back in the first place and wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?

"It's just..." Marseille hesitated.

"Master Ma, the survival of the elders of Taiping Mansion depends entirely on you."

Liu Shixian said quickly: "If you have any difficulties, sir, just tell me directly and I, the Taiping Mansion, will definitely take care of it."

"It's just that my men still lack some money and women." Marseille said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, sir, we are willing to donate one hundred thousand taels of silver and a hundred beauties!"

A gentleman who was accompanying him immediately spoke.

Now is the critical moment, the Taiping Mansion is disobedient, and if they want to survive, they have to do their best to satisfy Marseille's appetite.

"Hmph, does the Taiping Mansion only have one hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred women in such a huge Taiping Mansion?"

Marseille sneered and said: "You Nikans actually dare to mix with the pirates. According to my Qing Dynasty rules, the city will be massacred, and no chickens or dogs will be spared!"

"What do you mean, sir?" Liu Shixian asked cautiously.

"One million silver coins! Two thousand Han women!"

Marseille said slowly: "If you can't satisfy the thousand men under my command, your Taiping Mansion will massacre the city."

In the hall, the generals and gentry all opened their mouths.

It's easy to say that one million silver coins are worth it. There is plenty of silver in Jiangnan, although Taiping Mansion is not that good in Jiangnan.

But no matter how bad things are, they are still in Jiangnan!

You must know that Yunnan used to be inferior to a large county in Jiangnan, let alone Taiping Prefecture.

But you can get it by gritting your teeth, but it's not easy to get two thousand women!

Who is willing to send his daughter out to harm the Tatars, and she also wants a beautiful woman?

This matter can indeed be done, but whoever does it will have their parents and fellow villagers stabbing them in the back!

"Okay! As long as you can keep my Taiping Mansion safe, I will give you one million silver and two thousand beauties!"

A gentleman bowed his hands in salute.

Survival is crucial at this moment. In this case, we have to let the women of Taiping Mansion step forward and sacrifice for their hometown.

Aren't they just two thousand beauties? They could be searched from door to door and they could be found in just a few days!

"Thank you, sir!" A green camp general from Nanjing smiled lewdly.

They were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and now they had money and beautiful women. It was worth fighting for the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing.

"You don't need to thank me, you deserve this." Marseille said drunkenly.

Although the Manchurian generals have always discriminated against the Green Camp, after the victory at Zhenjiang, the Green Camp was able to come to Nanjing and fight for us in a bloody battle.

No matter who you are, you should take a high look!

In the next few days, the gentry and green battalions of Taiping Prefecture searched house to house in the city, and the entire city was stripped to the ground.

After the city was raided, the green soldiers began to wreak havoc on other towns and villages.

Of the one million taels of silver, more than 1.2 million taels were eventually seized from the homes of hundreds of thousands of people in Taiping Mansion and surrounding areas.

In addition to ordinary people, many gentry with whom they did not have strong connections were also brutally murdered.

Originally, the people under his command wanted to continue, but Liu Shixian couldn't bear it after living in peace for many years.

In the end, only about 200,000 more were searched.

This money has been used to enrich one's own pockets.

In the end, the gentry had to add 30% in tears, and then they collected a million dollars to buy their lives.

In addition to money, a large number of women were forcibly sacrificed to the Qing army.

The green campers also took the opportunity to get a share for themselves.

After this incident, the entire Taiping Mansion burst into tears, and countless families were separated from their wives and families.

Early morning on the second day of August.

Marseille and his thousand Qing troops were drunk in Taiping Mansion, and countless women were brutally murdered by them.

The corpses were carried out one after another, and it was too horrible to see.

On the street, the parents and brothers of these women were crying one by one.

"Send someone to give some silver to these people." A gentleman sighed.

People's hearts are made of flesh. Although he didn't want to bleed, he had to incite the green camp to attack the people.

But when I saw the scene in front of me, I finally felt compassion and wanted to give some money to comfort the families of the victims. (End of chapter)
