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

Chapter 343: The Qing abandoned Shaanxi and Gansu and the Ming took Yunnan

Under Luochuan City, red-coated cannons fired wildly.

Cannonballs continued to hit the head of Luochuan City.

The city wall, which was already riddled with holes and had collapsed in many places, became even more dilapidated.

There was a loud bang.

A red coat exploded, and the huge cannon disintegrated instantly.

The surrounding gunners were swallowed up by it.

However, even so, the Qing army's artillery was still bombarding.

When the time was right, Obai put on his armor and shouted loudly.

"You sons of the Qing Dynasty, come against me!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of Qing troops roared and rushed towards the Luochuan city wall regardless of everything.

……

As the sun set, countless corpses lay densely packed inside and outside Luochuan City.

A horse spear was stuck on the ground, Wang Jinbao smiled bitterly and then closed his eyes.

The Qing army finally captured Luochuan County after paying the price of tens of thousands of casualties.

Wang Jinbao organized a street fight and eventually died in the battle.

Wu Zhimao led his troops to break through and was killed by the Qing cavalry.

At the cost of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Obai managed to capture Luochuan City with great difficulty, even after destroying almost all the red-coated artillery pieces.

The Wu army in the city, which numbered more than 15,000, was wiped out.

This was a great victory, although the Qing army suffered heavy casualties.

But they not only annihilated the Wu army, but also recruited thousands of Wu army infantry.

However, under the general trend of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, this great victory did not seem to be perfect because Wang Pingfan's elite cavalry escaped from the beginning.

Oboi sat on the wall of Luochuan City, panting.

There were two doctors around who were helping him treat his wounds.

However, at this moment, a scout came flying to report.

"Report——"

"A large Wu army appears less than a hundred miles northwest! They are about to arrive in Luochuan!"

In an instant, the expressions of all the exhausted Eight Banners generals changed.

"Wu Guogui came very quickly. If Luochuan doesn't come down today, I will miss the mark!" Ao Bai said in a deep voice when he heard this.

"Shaobao, our army is now exhausted."

"Luochuan City was beaten like this again."

"Our army can no longer stand here." Luo Tuo reminded.

"Pass the order, let the army rest for a while and recuperate its strength."

"Late late today, I buried the pot to make rice and headed south all night!" Obai said slowly.

The Qing army conquered the fortified city and had no strength to fight anymore.

And Luochuan City was completely destroyed by Obai's strong attack.

For the current plan, the Qing army can only go south to find another place to rest.

That night, the tired Qing army slowly descended after a hearty meal.

And Obai personally brought his cavalry to cut off the rear of the army.

Wu Guogui and Wang Pingfan joined forces and came.

Looking at Wu Jun's corpses everywhere.

All the soldiers of the Wu army howled loudly.

Especially the remaining troops of Wang Ping Fan were even more grieved.

After venting their emotions, Wu Guogui, Ma Bao, Zu Zeqing, Qi Sansheng, Wang Pingfan and other Wu vassal generals arrived.

He quickly led the Wu army, which numbered more than 50,000, and went south to find Obai's main force for a decisive battle.

At the same time, Hu Guozhu led more than 30,000 troops into Guanzhong and began to besiege Xi'an.

Wu Sangui's main force also crossed Yongshui, and his cavalry penetrated deep into Guanzhong.

For a time, the entire Guanzhong area was in great turmoil, and a large number of prefectures and counties fell into the hands of the Wu army.

Fufeng, Wugong, Qianzhou, and Lintong each took action.

Only Xi'an, where Yild and Zhao Liangdong were stationed, could maintain the situation.

Obai led his troops to retreat to Yaozhou to temporarily rest and reorganize their troops.

A confrontation began with Wu Guogui in the Yaozhou area.

He tried his best to lead the main force of the Qing army to defeat the slow and fast, to defeat the small and large, and to achieve another great victory in Luochuan.

However, Wu Guogui was experienced in military matters.

The main force that has been clinging to Obai in Yaozhou.

The various units of the Wu army continued to attack, giving no chance for Obai to lead the main force to make any further maneuvers.

Wu Guogui, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, because although Wu Jun was defeated miserably in Luochuan.

But with their strong strength, they are not afraid of the loss of more than ten thousand elites this time.

Wu Jun still had the advantage in other battlefields.

Facing the situation of hundreds of thousands of Wu troops rolling in.

For the first time, Obai felt suffocated.

However, this remaining veteran of the Qing Dynasty still did not intend to give up.

He is still working hard and looking for opportunities and creating opportunities.

But at this juncture, an edict was sent to Guanzhong.

Sun Kewang's armies from all walks of life have gathered and have begun the Northern Expedition!

When Obai received this edict, his whole body trembled.

"Shaobao, Sun Tie has already started his Northern Expedition, what should our army do?" All the Eight Banners generals in Yaozhou City looked defeated.

Ao Bai didn't speak for a long time after hearing this.

After a while, a word came out of his mouth.

"withdraw!"

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

"Sun Kewang has already made his northern expedition, and we have no time to spend with Wu Sangui here."

"Only by returning to Beijing with troops and horses to protect the transfer of the imperial court, can we, the Qing Dynasty, have such hope." Oboi said tremblingly.

"But Shaobao, let's go now."

"The Han soldiers will definitely change their morale if they know that we will never return to Shaanxi and Gansu."

"What's more, Wu Jun is still watching."

"I'm afraid not even one out of ten of Guanzhong's 100,000 troops can be evacuated!" Luo Tuo said with a pale face.

"As much as we can withdraw is as much as we can."

"Even if we only bring out more than 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian disciples."

"It's better than sitting here and watching Sun Kewang capture Beijing and destroy our Manchu roots!" Obai said slowly.

Now one hundred thousand Qing troops are scattered in Fengxiang, Xi'an and Yaozhou.

If you retreat hastily, it is impossible to escape intact.

Once the people of Qin knew that Obai had abandoned Shaanxi and Gansu, they would be attacked.

The Qin people in the Shaanxi-Gansu Army must have a great change in military morale.

How many 100,000 Qing troops could be withdrawn?

Oboi didn't know what to do.

But now, only some troops and horses have been withdrawn to Beijing to protect our Qing court, and hundreds of thousands of Manchus have been transferred!

That night, Obai's messenger left for Xi'an.

He asked Yild and Zhao Liangdong to abandon Xi'an, lead their troops to join him in Huazhou, and then withdraw from Tongguan together.

As for the more than 30,000 infantrymen that Obai left behind in Fengxiang.

At this point, he is beyond his reach and has no time to take care of it!

At the beginning of Sun Kewang's mighty Northern Expedition.

The Qing army in Shaanxi and Gansu hurriedly abandoned Guanzhong under the organization of Obai, and had to return to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

On the battlefield of Shaanxi and Gansu, the Wu army was about to win.

However, in Yunnan, something happened that Wu Sangui could not imagine.

Yunnan Chuxiong, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan's troops moved forward all the way.

They successively bypassed Yongchang and Dali guarded by the Wu army and arrived directly at Chuxiong Mansion.

He Wenyue, the prefect of Chuxiong, opened the city gate to Li Dingguo for some unknown reason.

Give this suffering army a foothold.

"Prefect He, when you were once a Taoist priest, I demoted you to the county magistrate for being a party member." "Unexpectedly, five years have passed."

"The whole of Yunnan has become a stranger to Gu Xing, but you opened the door for Gu!" Li Dingguo said with wet eyes in Chuxiong City.

"Prince Jin, I have no affection for you, and I didn't open the door for you." He Wenyue said coldly.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Dingguo said not knowing why.

"Prince Jin." He Wenyue said slowly: "It was a good thing that you came to Yunnan to welcome the emperor."

"After all, Your Majesty has been orthodox for three hundred years and has great righteousness."

"But after you took His Majesty back to Yunnan, you, Prince Li Jin, used the banner of the Emperor."

"Attack and kill officials everywhere in Yunnan."

"Anyone who disobeys you will be denounced as a fake official. At the least, he will be demoted and removed from office, and at the worst, his head will be on the ground."

"That's all. Yingzhuang is the foundation of Yunnan's great governance."

"But you personally abandoned it and fully restored the old system of our Ming Dynasty."

"I wrote a letter and spoke out, and then I changed from a Taoist priest to a county magistrate."

"I have such an old grudge with you, how can I open the door of Chuxiong for you?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan looked at each other.

"Prefect He, why did you open the door for our army?" Bai Wenxuan asked
He Wenyue sighed after hearing this.

"The reason for lowering your official position is for the people!"

"For the people!" Bai Wenxuan and Li Dingguo exclaimed.

"King Jin, King Gongchang."

"Some people become officials just for power."

"Some people become officials just for money."

"Some people become officials just for fame."

"And I am not very talented. I only hope to learn the three-point style of Haigang Peak."

"I just make decisions for the people of a place and let them live the life they should live."

He Wenyue sighed and said: "It is precisely because of this that I will fully assist the ruler of Yunnan when he governs it."

"When you, Li Dingguo, abolished the camp, I wrote a letter to speak out."

"Now Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou are resorting to war."

"The overall situation of the whole world has been understood."

"Hu has no luck for a hundred years, and the country's powerful and talented leader has occupied the south of the Yangtze River to form a unified force."

"After all, this world belongs to the Han people, not to the Hulu!"

"But Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were motivated by their own selfish desires, one for fame and the other for profit."

"Not satisfied with exhausting the efforts of the Yunnan people, but using the flesh and blood of the people to pave the way for his own fame and fortune!"

"Now the Tartars can no longer grow."

"But Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou did not care about the lives of millions of Yunnan people for their own sake."

"Insisting on the Northern Expedition so as to get grain from the fire for myself."

"Why should we, the people of Yunnan, suffer? First we were massacred by the Tatars, and then we were driven to death by Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou."

"This is a song of death without direction, which makes me burst into tears."

"So you, Prince Li Jin, are back."

Of course I have to welcome you. "

"Because even if you have all kinds of shortcomings, you can still compare with Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui."

"In your heart, King Li Jin, the people still have some weight after all!"

The gentry is a huge group and officials are also a huge group.

Even in our Ming Dynasty, all officials are corrupt.

But isn’t there also a Hai Rui?

When He Wenyue became an official, he served the people.

Under the brutal military force of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

Although there is an old grudge with Li Dingguo.

But he still opened the door to Chuxiong for Li Dingguo.

This gave the army under Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan a foothold in Yunnan.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan were in awe after hearing this, even though they were noble kings.

But he still bowed to He Wenyue.

As for He Wenyue's verbal criticism of Li Dingguo.

After going through so much, Li Dingguo no longer had the heart to care about it, not to mention Wenyue offered Chu Xiong.

It was a life-saving grace for him and his soldiers!

How can he hold such a benefactor accountable now even if his words are inappropriate?

"King Jin, King Gongchang."

"Southern Yunnan was already suffering from war. The household registration of the people was reduced by half, and fifty-six out of ten died."

"Although during the Great Reign in the past, there was still food stored in charity warehouses in various places."

"But Wu Sangui's army of more than 100,000 troops went on the Northern Expedition, and the food and grass have been almost exhausted by now."

"I don't have much food left in Chuxiong Mansion. I can only support your army for one month."

"I want to open up the situation and restore Yunnan."

"You still need to act as soon as possible." He Wenyue said.

"Prefect He can rest assured."

"As long as there is a place to stand, let the prince's sons rest for a while."

"I believe that our army can open up the situation in Yunnan now." Bai Wenxuan said confidently.

Li Dingguo's various behaviors have already lost people's hearts.

Defeat after defeat again, the whole of southern Yunnan was lost to the Qing Dynasty.

If it had happened at any other time, I am afraid that the hearts of the people of Yunnan would not be able to return to him.

But when Hong Chengchou squeezed him so deeply.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan are not without opportunities!

Bai Wenxuan believed that under the governance of Hong and Wu, the people of Yunnan would welcome him and Li Dingguo for the second time.

"Your Highness Gong, our army has bypassed Yongchang and Dali and has temporarily settled in Chuxiong."

"The current plan is to send people to Yuanjiang and other places to call on Song and other people who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty to participate in the grand event."

"This is how we can rescue the Emperor and restore Yunnan!" Li Dingguo said solemnly.

"That's what King Jin said."

"Hong and Wu are acting perversely in Yunnan."

"Nasong has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he is quite prestigious among the chieftains."

"As long as we get his support, we can restore Yunnan and rescue the emperor, there is great hope!" Bai Wenxuan agreed.
"In that case, Tongwu, it's up to you to handle this matter." Li Dingguo said slowly.

"Yes!" Pingyanghou Jin Tongwu accepted the order.

In the next few days, the armies of Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan temporarily settled in the Chuxiong area.

Originally, this large army could no longer hold on under the strong walls and clear fields of Wu Jun.

Fortunately, He Wenyue opened the door of Chuxiong in time and allowed Li Bai and Li Bai to settle down.

He Wenyue and Li Dingguo had old grudges, which was why Hong Chengchou dared to let him stay in Chuxiong.

Never thought that He Wenyue would devote himself to serving the people.

Actually, under the perverse actions of Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, he directly sided with Li Dingguo for the people.

This move quickly changed the situation in Yunnan.

Soon Jin Tongwu, who had traveled through mountains and rivers, and his people arrived at Yuanjiang City without any pains.

"The prefect, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are great traitors, but now they welcome the emperor and serve the Ming Dynasty Zhengshuo."

"But the ambition of the two of them is really Sima Zhao's, and everyone knows it!"

"In order to obtain great achievements, the two of them even ignored the lives of millions of Yunnan people."

"Countless Yunnan people died in vain on the grain road from Yunnan to Shaanxi and Gansu."

"Now that the King of Jin has led his army back to Yunnan, everyone from the emperor to the people is eagerly awaiting his return."

"Please also ask the prefect to help King Jin."

"After the Emperor is rescued and Yunnan is restored."

"The King of Jin must write to the Emperor to reward the magistrate for his service as a duke!"

"When that happens, the prefect will leave his name in history!"

In Yuanjiang City, Jin Tongwu talked so eloquently that Nasong fell into deep thought.
