I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 47 Ask
Zhu Cixuan ordered Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xing to reorganize the 4000 green battalion soldiers who surrendered, and asked the three to remove the misbehaving, stabbed, old and weak soldiers, and each sent five taels of silver as severance pay to each family.Among them, those with bad deeds were beheaded to warn others.

The rest of the young, strong and honest soldiers were mixed with the troops under Zhang Liao and Cao Xing and joined the guards of the Eastern Palace.

In fact, these green battalion soldiers were also Ming soldiers who had surrendered to the Tartars not long ago. Most of them had no bad deeds.Zhu Cixuan believed that with the abilities of Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xing, they would be able to easily recruit and rectify these green battalion soldiers.

Although the thorns in the army are generally more capable, Zhu Cixuan has advanced firearms. What he needs is soldiers who obey orders and obey orders, even if they are mediocre.

Zhu Cixuan plunged into the Guilin government treasury by himself, looked at the mountain of silver in the treasury, and frantically recharged, "Ding Dong, congratulations to the customer for recharging 10 gold coins at one time, the system will be updated for one day."

oops!The system will be updated for a period of one day, and Zhu Cixuan can't help but look forward to the update because he doesn't know what new functions will appear after the update.

……

On May 16th, the [-]th year of Shunzhi, the travel-worn Suksaha entered Zhaoqing Mansion under the guard of a thousand cavalry. He did not rest, and directly summoned the prefect of Zhaoqing, Long Keduo, to guard Fuqing.

"My lords, tell me about the current situation in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi." Sukesaha wiped the dust off his face with a towel.

"My lord, according to the latest news, the false Ming prince Zhu Cixuan and the false Ming Jin king Li Dingguo captured Guilin three days ago, and most of Guangxi has been occupied by the Ming army. Guizhou's Pu'an Prefecture, Annanwei, Zhenning Prefecture, Anshun Prefecture, and Guizhou Prefecture Duyun The mansion has been occupied by Bai Wenxuan, King Gongchang of the Puppet Ming Dynasty.

The Sichuan Xingdusi, Dongchuan Mansion, Wumeng Mansion, Zhenxiong Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion, Chengdu Mansion, and Long'an Mansion in Sichuan were captured by the false Guangguo Gong He Jiuyi.

At present, there is no Ming army in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Sichuan. However, with the current attack speed of the Ming army, it is believed that the Ming army will enter Guangdong in a short time. Please make a decision. "Long Keduo, the prefect of Zhaoqing, said solemnly.

Su Kesaha's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, "Why is the Ming army's attack speed so fast? It shouldn't be based on the Ming army's fighting power!"

"I don't know, my lord. A new type of firecracker appeared in the Ming army. It is said that it can accurately hit the target from a distance of one hundred feet, and the speed of fire is extremely fast. It took ten times to fire once in the past. Our warriors A lot of people died under this extremely accurate and fast-firing gun.”

"The cities we lost were captured by the Ming army on the same day, and none of the cities could last for two days. Moreover, after the Ming army captured the city, they did not stop, and their army set off the next day to march to the next city. , so we lost a lot of cities in a short period of time.”

"Another important reason is that the troops in each city are seriously insufficient. In most of the cities, we have only one Niulu, or even a hundred and eight banner soldiers, which can't hold back the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming army." The garrison Fuqing said with a mournful face.

"Aren't there thousands of Green Battalion soldiers in each city? And why are there so few Eight Banners warriors in the city?" Suksaha frowned.

"Your Excellency does not know that Zhao Butai, General of the Conquest of the South, and Wu Sangui, King of the West at that time, in order to eliminate the Ming army as soon as possible, mobilized a large number of soldiers from various cities, resulting in a serious shortage of troops in the city, and could barely maintain order in the city." Fuqing sighed. road.

Su Kesaha's brows condensed into a word of Chuan. He didn't expect the situation to be so bad now, so he walked around the room twice and said, "Well, now there is news about Zhao Butai, the general who conquered the South, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi."

Long Kedo and Fuqing glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer Suksaha's question, because the news they heard was too shocking, that is General Zhao Butai, King Pingxi Wu Sangui and the [-] soldiers led by them. The elite bannermen were ambushed by the Ming army led by the puppet Ming king Li Dingguo and the puppet Ming prince Zhu Cixuan in Mopan Mountain, and the whole army was wiped out.

They knew that if this news was true, it would cause a great shock in the entire Southwest, especially now that the Ming army's three-way army is aggressively attacking, and the news that comes out almost every day is bad news. Either this state city was captured by the Ming army, or that Fucheng was occupied by the Ming army, and every news made them shudder.

"Why don't you speak? Is there news about Zhao Butai, the general who conquered the south, and Wu Sangui, the king of the west?" Su Kesaha looked at the worried Long Keduo and Fu Qing.

"My lord, there is indeed news about General Zhao Butai, the general who conquered the south, and the king of the west, Wu Sangui, but...but..."

"But what?"

"But it's not good news."

"Pa" Suksaha slapped the table angrily, his heart was ablaze, what time is it now, everyone is still covering their heads, and refuses to tell the exact news, it is really unreasonable.

"Tell me, what is the news?" Suksaha stared fiercely at Long Keduo and Fu Qing.

Long Kedo and Fuqing bit their lips, and said anxiously: "My lord, we heard... I heard that the [-] elite army led by General Zhao Butai and Pingxi King Wu Sangui was attacked by the fake Ming Crown Prince at Mopan Mountain. The Ming army led by Zhu Cixuan and the puppet Ming Jin Wang Li Dingguo ambushed, and the entire army was wiped out."

"What? Impossible? At that time, the memorial of the two of them said that they led an army to pursue Li Dingguo who was fleeing in embarrassment. Moreover, Li Dingguo had only [-] remnant soldiers who were defeated, and there were thousands of old and weak family members among them. It's not bad, even if they encounter an ambush, Li Dingguo is not the opponent of General Zhao and Ping Xiwang, how could the whole army be wiped out, what a joke." Su Kesaha didn't believe this kind of nonsense immediately.

"My lord, of course the remnant soldiers of Li Dingguo of the puppet Ming Dynasty cannot be the opponents of the two generals, but he received the support of the army led by the prince of the puppet Ming Dynasty Zhu Cixuan, and only then did he annihilate our [-] elite army in Mopan Mountain."

"Fart, as far as I know, the fake Prince Ming is only 12 years old. How could he, a 12-year-old brat, lead an army to support Li Dingguo? Where did you hear this news?" Suksaha's lungs were about to explode. .

Could it be that he was still born with Zhu Yuanzhang attached to him? A 12-year-old kid led an army to support Li Dingguo, and then wiped out the [-] Banner elites led by Zhao Butai and Wu Sangui, who were good at fighting. What a joke, he is not at all Do not believe.
