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

Chapter 344: 4th Army March, Northern Expedition to Xuzhou

"The Marquis of Pingyang, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou are well known all over the world."

"These two people are not the ones who support the bright room."

"It's just that Wu Sangui has sworn to fight for the Northern Expedition, and Hong Chengchou is also trying his best to raise food and wages in Yunnan to supply the soldiers of the Northern Expedition."

"And my family also has a large number of disciples in Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition."

"If I help King Li Jin seize Yunnan, not only will the Tatars survive for a while, but I will also kill the children of my family!" Na Song said slowly.

He, the chieftain of Yuanjiang, has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Even when it was completely hopeless for Li Dingguo to withdraw to the west across Yunnan.

Still holding high the flag of righteousness in Yuanjiang, they vowed to fight to the death against the Qing Dynasty.

If Sun Kewang hadn't raised his troops for the Northern Expedition, the situation in the world would have suddenly changed.

I'm afraid that the Song clan has died at the hands of Wu Sangui in Yuanjiang!
Loyalty to the Ming Dynasty was Nasong's ambition.

Among the southwestern chieftains, there are many people with both ends of the spectrum.

But Qin Liangyu of Shizhu is full of loyal people!

The Ma family in Shizhu is like this, and the family in Yuanjiang is like this!
If it had been three years ago, then Song would have helped him without Li Dingguo opening his mouth!
It’s just that times have changed and things have changed.

In the past, Nasong also strongly supported Yongli when Li Dingguo entered Yunnan.

But just like Xiying, Nasong has experienced too much!
Once people experience too many things, they will change to a greater or lesser extent.

Shang Kexi was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, but in the end he became a traitor.

Zuo Liangyu used to be a dutiful son of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he became a warlord.

When Xu Yong and Zhang Yong joined the army, they both swore an oath to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and never regret it!
But one of them defended Chenzhou for our Qing Dynasty, and the other defended Pingliang for our Qing Dynasty.

This loyalty is fulfilled, but it is not the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty but the loyalty of the Qing Dynasty!

Na Song witnessed Li Dingguo's welcome into Yunnan and witnessed Li Dingguo's water battle.

I also witnessed with my own eyes the turmoil of Yungui and the complete collapse in the end.

He is asked to take huge risks to help Li Dingguo now.

Not to mention he is just a chieftain, even an old brother from Xiying who helped Li Dingguo in the battle of Jiaoshui.

How many people are still willing to stand on Li Dingguo's side?
If Liu Wenxiu was still alive, would he still help Li Dingguo?

Would he still help Li Dingguo if He Jiuyi was still alive?

Even though Qi Sansheng and Ma Bao are still alive.

If they were given another chance, would they stab the leader Sun Kewang again?

What Li Dingguo lost now was not just Yongli.

He has lost too much.

This also includes Na Song’s loyalty and support!
What did those who risked their lives to help Li Dingguo defeat Sun Kewang get in the end?
If this is the case, then why is Song helping Li Dingguo to deal with Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou?
If he does this, not only all the Na family's descendants in Wu Sangui's army will be killed.

Even if he succeeds, what can Li Dingguo do by relying on Yunnan?

Can he stop Wu Sangui's counterattack, or can he stop Sun Kewang's annihilation?

Li Dingguo is already destined to be a loser.

If we talk about interests, then why should Song be on the side of the loser?
In terms of feelings, why did Song Ye want to help Li Dingguo, who had even left his old brothers in Xiying?

Since He Jiuyi's death.

Between Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui.

Qi Sansheng, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Yang Wu and others have already made their choices.

Even the old Xiying brothers are like this.

So why would Song, a chieftain, risk his own life and his family to help him?

"Then, magistrate, the emperor is in deep danger. Wu Sangui will definitely be unfavorable to the emperor in the future."

"I also hope that the prefect can help the King of Jin to welcome back the Emperor for the sake of the three hundred years of Ming Dynasty." Jin Tongwu said without giving up.

"Emperor?" Na Song shook his head after hearing this.

"The emperor has abandoned his country, why should I give up my family for him?"

In the past, when Yongli was in Anlong, everyone in Yunnan didn't know the emperor's true appearance.

When Li Dingguo entered Yunnan, he naturally won the support of many people by relying on the Yongli brand.

But now, five years have passed, and three years have passed since the water war.

Various phenomena in the Yongli court have long been seen through by everyone.

They not only chilled the hearts of the soldiers in Xiying.

It chilled the hearts of all those who had hope for the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, Yongli has abandoned his country and abandoned all the people in Yunnan who were loyal to him, the emperor of tomorrow.

If that's the case, then why would Song give up his family for him?
There is a saying that goes well: the old society turns people into ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people.

Weren't Zuo Liangyu, Shang Kexi and others passionate when they were young?

But after our Ming Dynasty went through all kinds of things, loyal ministers had no choice but to become disloyal if they didn't want to die in frustration!
People will always have dignity and temper.

Sometimes if you can't swallow that breath, it will completely turn black.

Stop talking about these people.

Sun Kewang, the leader of the Sun Kingdom, vowed not to surrender even after Zhang Xianzhong's death. What kind of hero was he?

He had the Ming army in front of him and the Qing army in the back.

Neither Ming nor Qing is descended.

He just managed to survive with his passion.

As a result, those who died in the Yangtze River and did not surrender surrendered for revenge.

Shang Kexi and Zuo Liangyu will not turn into evil if we make them less angry!
Now the loyal minister Nasong, who was chilled by Yongli and Nanming Gonggun, was forced to be disloyal by our Ming Dynasty!
"Prefect, please think again. If you don't help King Jin, the three hundred years of Ming Dynasty will be over!" Jin Tongwu continued.

By now, he also knew that Li Dingguo had no cards to play.

We can only continue to use Zhu Youlang to hope to influence Na Song.

Na Song let out a long sigh.

"The great Ming Dynasty has been exhausted and cannot be restored by human power."

"If I help King Jin, all nine clans will be destroyed!"

"My Nasong has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and many of my Nasong's children died fighting for the Ming Dynasty."

"It is not the subject who betrays the king, but the king who betrays the minister!"

"Come on, please bring General Jin down."

"Enter well and don't neglect it."

"If he wants to leave, prepare two fast horses."

As soon as he finished speaking, several Nasong's guards came forward.

"General Jin, please." A guard said.

When Jin Tongwu saw this, he could only sigh and retreat angrily.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan stationed troops in Chuxiong.

In Yunnan, I tried my best to contact the chieftain and the old ministry.

I hope that we can jointly participate in this grand event in this hometown and reopen the situation.

However, neither the chieftain nor the former Xiying generals responded to them.

However, many gentry and common people welcomed him as the King of Jin.

Because the chieftain and the old people in Xiying had given up on Li Dingguo.

However, the gentry and the common people could not bear the oppression of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

The old men of Xiying and chieftain Hong Chengchou who supported the army did not dare to push too hastily.

But the people of Yunnan and even the gentry Hong Chengchou dared to push to death.

In desperation, Li Dingguo led his troops to capture the Chuxiong area.

However, they were firmly suppressed in the Chuxiong Prefecture in Dali, Wuding, Lufeng and other important towns garrisoned by the Wu army.

At the same time, his eldest brother had already crossed the Yangtze River and led hundreds of thousands of troops on the Northern Expedition.

Outside Xuzhou City, there are endless rows of boats.

Countless artillery pieces and baggage were being unloaded from the ship.

A dragon boat stopped.

Above the dragon chariot, below the yellow cover.

Sun Kewang, who was covered in gold armor, looked at the Xuzhou city wall with a telescope.

"How are the other roads going?" he asked while looking at them. "Your Majesty, Feng Shuangli has led soldiers and horses from six towns through the Yinghuo Mountain area and is heading into eastern Henan."

"Geng Jimao is leading the navy of the Three Towns to help the King of Hanchuan. It has been nearly two months since this army set out, and they must have arrived."

"And Li Laiheng expanded tens of thousands of troops in Jingxiang."

"One hundred thousand Dashun troops have entered Nanyang Mansion and will soon conquer Nanyang and march north to the Central Plains." Zhang Hu, the king of Changping, replied slowly.

"Um--"

Sun Kewang, Lord Sun, oh no, Emperor Tianyou nodded slowly.

He looked quite proud.

Li Laiheng had accepted his title of King Xing and set off for the Northern Expedition.

Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command are advancing from all directions.

Among them, Li Laiheng's troops on the west route were 100,000, including 70,000 to 80,000 in armor.

Feng Shuangli's army in the middle is 100,000, including 60,000 in armor.

The east road is Sun Kewang's main force, with 250,000 soldiers and horses and 180,000 armored men.

Zhang Sheng, who was deep in Liaodong, had more than 100,000 troops and was reinforced by Geng Jimao's three towns.

The number of armored men has reached more than 60,000.

A total of 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers and horses marched towards the four Manchu and Qing armies.

Coupled with Wu Sangui's Han army totaling 800,000 soldiers and horses, more than 500,000 armored troops launched an attack on the Manchus.

In such a situation, how could Sun Kewang not feel relaxed and happy?

"Give me the order to unload the more than 1,500 red-coated cannons on the ship and capture Xuzhou before sunset." He said slowly.

Sun Kewang had been preparing for this Northern Expedition for nearly a year.

In addition to more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and 180,000 armor.

He brought more than 1,500 large and small red-coated cannons alone.

Among these red-coated cannons, eighteen-pound heavy cannons accounted for a large proportion, more than three hundred of them.

There are also twenty-four-pounders and thirty-two-pounders.

In front of such a terrifying group of red-coated artillery pieces.

Not to mention Xuzhou, even Beijing, Sun Kewang can directly win it!

"Your Majesty, won't our army surrender?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Zhang Hu, it's already this time, is it still necessary to surrender?"

"It's okay if the Xuzhou Qing army comes to surrender."

"But now that it's over, they still intend to hold on."

"In that case, then I will send them to the underworld to meet their ancestors of the Qing Dynasty!" Sun Kewang sneered.

Now he has no restrictions.

With Sun Kewang's current strength, what else does he need to worry about?
The entire world combined cannot defeat his more than 500,000 armors.

In this case, why bother to persuade Aixing and others in Xuzhou City to surrender?

Soon, red-coated cannons were deployed in front of Xuzhou, led by livestock and civilian workers.

After seeing the dense red cannons and the boundless army.

The faces of Aixing and other Eight Banners generals in Xuzhou City turned pale.

"Master, what should we do?" a close aide asked.

They only have 18,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

Except for the fifteen thousand people Aixing brought south.

The others are all the remnants of Gushan'e Zhenliu Zhiyuan.

Originally, it was enough to defend Xuzhou with 18,000 men.

However, there are endless enemy troops outside Xuzhou City. It is roughly estimated that there are at least 200,000 people.

Moreover, these 200,000 enemy troops are not just a mob.

Instead, the armor is bright and the flags cover the sun.

His military might shook the heavens.

There are thousands of red-coated cannons deployed under Xuzhou City alone.

How can the Qing army fight in this situation?

"At this point, my master can only defend Xuzhou and delay time for the court." Ai Axing sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Master, are you sure..." A group of cronies asked after swallowing their saliva.

"What? Have you forgotten the grace of the court?" Ai Axing scolded.

"This...all the Eight Banners generals hesitated.

They really cannot forget the grace of our Qing Dynasty.

But Sun Kewang came with so many troops and so many red-coated cannons.

Our Qing Dynasty is definitely going to end. We can’t be buried with the Qing Dynasty in Xuzhou City just for the sake of grace!

"Master, please think about it."

"If we don't surrender, the Han army and the Green Camp in the city will also surrender."

"When the time comes, not only will we not be able to save the imperial court, but we will lose our lives in vain!" A close acquaintance said through clenched teeth.

The war has been fought so far, and it is not just the Green Camp and the Han Army.

Even the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia felt desperate and confused.

"I know what you are thinking but..."

Aixing sighed: "Will Sun Kewang let us Manchu people go?"

"The Western thieves are always brutal. Han people like the Green Camp and the Han Army can survive if they surrender, but we Manchu and Mongolian people can't survive if we surrender!"

"Master, give it a try."

A group of cronies refused to give up and said: "We have so many soldiers and horses, and we control the important town of Xuzhou, blocking Sun Kewang's Northern Expedition army."

"If Sun Kewang forces us into a hurry, we can hold off for a few days."

"Send an envoy out of the city to discuss with Sun Kewang. Maybe we can survive by offering Xuzhou!"

Xi sent a message to all the close friends who love A Xing.

Seeing this, Aixing also felt worried.

His cronies are still like this, which shows how far the people in Xuzhou City have reached.

If he insists on defending Xuzhou, he will definitely die.

Aixing is still young and he doesn’t want to die!
"That...that..."

Aixing became worried.

On the one hand, it is the grace of the Qing Dynasty and his family in Beijing.

On the one hand, it is your own life.

It is really difficult to choose between the two!

After thinking for a long time, Aixing finally gritted his teeth.

He has already figured out the grace of the Qing Dynasty.

And the family members in Beijing.

Anyway, the Qing Dynasty is almost over. Even if I die fighting here, my family will be harmed by the Western thieves sooner or later.

In this case, it is better to protect yourself.

It will bloom again in the future!

"Okay, please quickly send someone to contact Sun Kewang."

"As long as he can retain our position, I, Aixing, will surrender the city!" Aixing clenched his fists and said with difficulty.

"My master is famous!" All the cronies were overjoyed when they saw this.

However, at this moment, there was a loud bang.

A huge red cannonball was fired from the barrel and hit the Xuzhou city wall.

In an instant, bricks and stones flew and there was loud thunder.

There was a damage on the solid Xuzhou city wall.

"No, the Western bandits are going to attack the city!" Ai Axing shouted desperately, regretting it in her heart.
