Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94

Now the time has come to the fifth year of Shunzhi, July of the second year of Yongli.Since the 27th day of the first lunar month, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren came anyway, and successively captured and killed the inspector Dong Xuecheng, the chief minister Chi Bianlong and Hudong Daocheng Daye.The vast majority of prefectures and counties in Jiangxi were moved after hearing the news, and they raised the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty.The guards Liu Yipeng and Li Shiyuan of Ji'an Mansion led their troops to join Jin Shenghuan, the guards of Raozhou Pan Yongxi, and the guards of Yuanzhou Tang Zhizhong and Gai Yushi also occupied the city anyway.

At the beginning of February, Wang Deren led the troops to Jiujiang. Leng Yundeng, the general guard of Jiujiang in the Qing Dynasty, led [-] soldiers from Kaesong to respond, and then occupied Hukou and Pengze.In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Shiqi, the magistrate of Jiujiang, and other local officials all came to join him, and Wang Deren ordered Wu Gao to take over the defense of Jiujiang Prefecture.

At the same time, the restoration forces in many places in Hubei and Anhui, which are located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, responded quickly, and the situation was quite impressive.In terms of Huguang, on February 28, an army under Wang Deren's subordinates took more than [-] ships and went straight to the city of Qizhou, and more than [-] land horse infantry troops also attacked the south gate.Qizhou was not captured because of the Qing soldiers' tenacity, but Wang Deren's army had occupied Huangmei, Guangji and other counties, and sent civil and military officials.

Encouraged by Wang Deren's army, anti-Qing forces in Anhui's Taihu, Susong, Qianshan, and Yingshan areas also rose one after another.

At this time, Remnant's anti-Tartar situation was very good.

However, during this period, there was also Liu Tongchun, the capital of Jiangxi's palm seal, who left his wife, children and family members, escaped from the city, pretended to be a monk, and fled to Nanjing at night to report the changes in Jiangxi.

After receiving the report of the Jiangxi uprising, the Qing court immediately ordered the three kings Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi who had entered Hunan to lead their troops back to Hanyang to prevent Jin Shenghuan Wang Deren from attacking Hubei.

Under the suggestion of Hu Dan, the screener, Wang Deren originally wanted to pretend to be a soldier of the Qing Dynasty and go south to attack Nanjing, but it was only because Liu Tongchun secretly reported to Nanjing that the sneak attack was no longer possible.In addition, Huang Renlong mentioned the matter of the former King Ning of the Ming Dynasty and proposed to guard against Ganzhou.So Jin Shenghuan transferred Wang Deren back, and in late March, he personally commanded the main force to go south to attack Liu Wuyuan and Hu Yousheng in Ganzhou.As a result, the opportunity to capture Nanjing was missed.

During the period, on April [-]th, Li Chengdong cut braids and refitted in Guangzhou, announcing that he would oppose the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty.As a result, the world was excited, and the first peak of the Anti-Qing Dynasty came.

However, Jin Shenghuan was in Ganzhou, and he was unable to attack the city for a long time.At this time, Tan Tai, the general sent by the Qing government to conquer the south, led the Manchu and Han troops approaching Jiangxi.In late April, the Qing army entered Dongliu County, and the troops were divided into two groups. Tan Tai's department attacked Jiujiang, and He Luohui's department attacked Raozhou Prefecture.At the end of the same month, Wu Gao, the Ming general guarding Jiujiang, abandoned the city and fled.

On the first day of May, Yang Jie, the deputy commander in chief of aiding and suppressing troops from Liangguang and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, occupied Jiujiang, the gateway to Jiangxi.He Luo's army also conquered Raozhou on April [-]th.On the seventh day of May, the forward of the Qing army entered Nanchang Prefecture.When the news came, the entire army of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren retreated and returned to Baonanchang.At this time, Liu Wuyuan and Hu Yousheng took the opportunity to command the headquarters to attack Kaesong on the ninth day of May.Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren had no intention of fighting, and the rear guard retreated in embarrassment with losses.

On May [-], Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren led the army back to Nanchang.On the third day of June, Wang Deren led elite soldiers out of the city to face the Qing army going south, was defeated by the Qing army at Qili Street, and returned to Nanchang.Taking advantage of the victory, Tan Tai marched forward with his army and surrounded Nanchang on the tenth day of July.

At this time, the great situation brought about by the reconciliation of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren is in jeopardy.

However, when Remnant Ming's forces were in danger, the development of the security team in the rear was extremely good.Because the Tartars had to defend Remnant Ming's attack with all their strength, the rear was almost empty, and the soldiers surrendered without a fight.

Sun Zhi's troops in the Second Battalion, after capturing Huang'an and Macheng, sent troops southward, including Luotian and Yingshan.It is only more than 200 miles away from Huangmei and Guangji, which Wang Deren once captured.

Although the sphere of influence of the Second Battalion Labor Division has been stretched into a long strip, Sun Zhi is not worried at all, and the result of winning half of Huangzhou Mansion makes him feel elated.

At the same time, Chen Chen from the first battalion was still struggling with those traitorous landlords.As a result, the news of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's resignation came, these traitor landlords suddenly declined, and some even fled Guangshan and Luoshan in a hurry.With the help of this east wind, the First Battalion suddenly became imposing, captured the prefectural city of Guangzhou one after another, and even the three counties of Xiaxi County, Gushi and Shangcheng, and immediately expanded the sphere of influence to the entire prefecture of Guangzhou.

Li Taiping of the Fourth Battalion did not show weakness. With the strong support of those heroes, he captured Biyang and Tang counties one after another, doubling his army strength.

The headquarters of the security regiment and the three battalions that were separated out were all vigorously expanded, which must have attracted the attention of the Tartars.It's just that before Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, and Li Chengdong's actions, the security team is only a disease of scabies and cannot be regarded as a big enemy.But relying on the defenders alone is not an opponent of the bandits, so they can only wait for the soldiers to return.

The actions of Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, and Li Chengdong caused the Tartars to lose half of Jiangnan almost instantly.How many prefectures and counties did the small group of bandits occupy?As long as Jin, Wang, and Li can be eliminated, and if they free up their hands a little, they will eliminate the gangsters in a single palm.What's more, now that Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren have been besieged in Nanchang, there are no thieves just around the corner, how can they divide their troops and distract them?
Not only Hubei thinks so, but Henan also thinks so.

Therefore, the security regiment was able to attack the heartlands of Hubei and Henan, as if they were invincible.

Just when Nanchang was besieged, Sun Zhi, who was far away in Luotian, learned the news that Qiu Tianxing had re-established a regiment headquarters in Anlu City, and along with the news came a letter written by Qiu Tianxing.
