Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 372

The second year of Shaotian in Ming Dynasty, the third year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, and the third year of Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Dynasty in Dashun.

Sichuan.

Angels entered Sichuan and proclaimed their decree to the middle of Sichuan.

The old general Qin Liangyu was granted the title of Duke of Shu, Taibao and Prince Taibao, and still bears the seal of General Zhendong.

At this time, the situation in central Sichuan was greatly improved, and the situation was very good. Ma Gan, the former governor of Sichuan, recovered Shunqing Mansion, Songpan Deputy General Zhu Hualong, and Tongzhi Zhan Tianyan recovered Long'an Mansion, and Fan Yiheng, the former Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, recovered Maozhou.

General Gan Liangchen, deputy generals Hou Tianxi and Tu Long regained Syria.

Yang Zhan and Ma Ying tried to take Jiadingfu, Qiongzhou and Meizhou.Jia Liandeng and Yang Weidong took Zizhou and Jianzhou, Gao Mingzuo took Luzhou, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai took Zhongzhou and Fuzhou.

Cao Xun and Fan Wenguang were stationed in Maozhou, while Tan Hong and Tan Yi were stationed in Kuizhou and Wanzhou.

Qin Liangyu and Zeng Ying were stationed in Chongqing, while Fan Yiheng and Wang Yingxiong were in Luzhou.

All the armies marched together, and the momentum was great, known as the Sichuan army of [-].

Zhang Xianzhong sent Sun Kewang to lead an army to attack, but it was difficult to resist the attack, and they retreated repeatedly.

It was also difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to make progress in northern Sichuan. For a while, he was besieged on all sides. The Ming army had already taken all of eastern and southern Sichuan, and was about to join forces to encircle Chengdu.

"His Majesty?"

Chengdu.

Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong frowned and remained silent.

In the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led his army into Sichuan, first took Kuizhou Fengjie, and then took Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan. Capture Luzhou again and encircle Chengdu.

After Chengdu was broken in August, the sons and grandsons of Liuyi were expected to supervise the country. They led the main force to go north to the north of Sichuan, and competed with the Shun army for the northern Sichuan area.

In a short period of time, except for Zunyi, Shizhu, and Lizhou Qianhusuo, almost the entire territory of Sichuan was taken by him. In November, he proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, with the country name Daxi, Jianyuan Dashun, and Chengdu Prefecture as Xijing.

But the next year or so was not smooth.

Although Zhang Xianzhong also recruited the former Ming officials and Shun generals, conferred official positions, and also won over scholars, opened courses to recruit scholars, re-set taxes, exempted the new border county from taxes for three years, distributed gold and silver to the people, and cast and issued Dashun Tongbao , to stabilize and win popular support.

But all the efforts he made did not win the hearts of the people in Chuanzhong.

The defeated troops of the Ming Dynasty and the armed forces of local chieftains, landlords and gentry were still united, serving the imperial court of the Central Plains far away, and desperately resisting.

In addition to the war with the Shun Army who had joined the rebel army, Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi was in the midst of internal and external troubles, and the Qing army went south and quickly captured Zhang Xianzhong's Huguang territory.

Onishi is passive both militarily and politically, with no allies outside and enemies inside.

He went north to attack Hanzhong and opened up the road to Guanzhong, but he was defeated by He Zhen. In another battle, he was defeated by He Zhen and Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shanxi and Gansu in the Qing army.

When Zhu Yihai entered Sichuan with the imperial decree, the originally chaotic Ming army and landlord armed forces in Sichuan quickly gathered together, and the offensive was fierce and extremely brave.

The Great Western Army went north in consecutive battles, losing several generals and countless troops.

Up to now, eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan have been completely lost, and Chengdu will be encircled.

Funan General Liu Wenxiu stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army to retake Chongqing!"

Feng Shuangli, one of the governors of the Five Armies, also requested to enter Luzhou and Xuzhou in southern Sichuan.

The adopted son is expected to request to lead troops to attack northern Sichuan.

Ainengqi and Di Sanjing requested to march into Yazhou and Meizhou.

These few are all Daxi generals who are relatively capable of fighting, and there are even adopted sons that Zhang Xianzhong relies on.

But Zhang Xianzhong hesitated about this long-discussed plan to counterattack from all sides.

"A tiger can't stand a pack of wolves!"

The Daxi Emperor, who had fought in the Central Plains for many years, couldn't help but show his defeat for the first time. He has fought for many years and suffered countless defeats, but he has been able to make a comeback every time, and has never been discouraged.

But now, Zhang Xianzhong was at a loss.

He devoted half his life to anti-Ming.

Ming Beijing court died, Chongzhen hanged himself, Ming Nanjing court died, Hongguang was captured.

But Daming is still there.

Now a king of Lu has come to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, even in the eastern part of Zhejiang, there have been two Northern Expeditions, and the Qing troops who fought have lost their helmets and armor, and even captured half of the city of Nanjing.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't understand the current situation.

After the Qing army entered the pass, it was like a broken bamboo, sweeping the world. Li Zicheng was defeated and killed in Jiugong Mountain.

But now, the situation is blurred again.

Everyone in the south regards Zhu Yihai as emperor, and even the supervisors, governors, governors, and generals appointed by Chongzhen and Hongguang here in Sichuan all obeyed his orders.

He Zhen, Li Guo, Li Zicheng's former generals of the Shunying camp, are now attached to Zhu Yihai, and He Zhen, who was originally sent to the Qing Dynasty, is now also sent to Zhu Yihai.

There are also people like Wu Dading and Jin Shenghuan.

The situation is confusing.

Puzzling.

Of course, the situation in Central Sichuan is getting worse and worse, and it is hopelessly bad.

Now he is not only facing the remnants of Sichuan's soldiers and horses, landlords' armed forces, chieftains, etc., but now he has to face the pressure of the Ming army from Huguang, Hanzhong, Badong, and even Guanzhong.

"Emperor Ming has ordered Wen Anzhi, the former governor of Bianyuan, to be the governor of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, stationed in Kuizhou, Fengjie, Baidi City, Wang Yingxiong, governor of Sichuan, Fan Yiheng, governor of Guizhou, Gao Doushu, governor of Shaanxi, Ma Gan, governor of Sichuan, and Sun Shoufa, governor of Shaanxi. , Governor Xu Qiyuan Yunyang...

Admiral He Zhen is in Shaanxi, Wang Guangen is in charge of Yunyang, Qin Liangyu is in charge of Sichuan, Yuan Zongdi is in charge of Guizhou..."

Sun Kewang, the elder of Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, persuaded, "The bandits of Ming Dynasty just took advantage of our army's desire to capture Hanzhong, and sneaked behind them. There is nothing to fear from the mob. As long as your majesty mobilizes troops to fight back from all directions, they can all be defeated in one battle."

But Zhang Xianzhong just shook his head.

He is not afraid of people like Wang Yingxiong, Fan Yiheng, Ma Gan, Zeng Ying, and Wang Xiang, they are all defeated soldiers, but Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan and others are strong soldiers, let alone Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Hao Yao who were formerly Li Zicheng's elite People like Qi and Yuan Zongdi have also entered Sichuan.

There are also people like He Zhen, Wang Guangtai, and Liu Tichun in Hanzhong Guanzhong.

The net is getting tighter.

There is no longer any strategic space.

There is no danger at all in Chengdu.

But even if he went to the north of Sichuan, he was just waiting to die.

Now even if he fights back with all his strength, even if he defeats Ma Yingshi and others, it will be difficult for him to capture the key cities of Chongqing and Hanzhong, and he still cannot escape from this big net.

In particular, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Dynasty has always been unpopular in Shu.

For Zhang Xianzhong, what he has to plan now is not only the short-term, but also the long-term. After all, it is not the time to be a bandit in the early years, he is now the emperor of a country.

The defeat of Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun, made him even more cautious.

"I want to profess my allegiance to Zhu Yihai!"

Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a long time, and finally said.

As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked.

After a long time, Sun Kewang asked, "Does Your Majesty want to use the name of recruiting security to temporarily resolve the crisis?"
