Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The successive arrival of the iron cavalry army and other departments indicated that Zheng Kezang's established tactics were about to be launched. This was an expanded application version of the East known as the hammer-and-anvil tactic in Europe. The anvil attracted the main force of the Qing army, and with the cavalry and other follow-up troops as hammers, it directly hit the empty heart of the Qing army.

However, although Zheng Kezang's plan was subtle, Kangxi would not follow Zheng Kezang's methods.No, considering that the Jianghuai line is no longer suitable for large-scale wars due to the flooding of the Yellow River for years, Kangxi decided to reduce the size of the Xuzhou camp after learning that Zheng Kezang personally led the army to send troops to Huguang.Only 2 people under the king of Anjun Ma Hun were left to continue to monitor the actions of the Zheng army in person, and the remaining [-] green flag soldiers from Shandong, Zhili, and Henan passed through the state silently, and traveled southward to join the Huguang battlefield.

In addition to mobilizing the Qing army from Xuzhou to go south, Kangxi also ordered Sichuan to send more than [-] troops and [-] shi of food from Kuimen to reinforce Yichang and Jingzhou.At the same time, the Qing court ordered Shaanxi to continue to transfer [-] elite soldiers from Zijingguan to Henan, and then entered northwestern Hubei via western Henan, and went straight to the city of Xiangyang to accept the command of Naertu.

In this way, the Zheng army invested nearly [-] yuan in Huguang, and the Qing army invested more than [-] yuan in Huguang. Almost all of them came here, and a decisive battle between the two sides in Huguang was formed in a short time.

"Brothers, now that the Zheng family is going west to Huguang, it has already drawn a lot of power from the Tartars. In addition, Chongqing's southward adjustment, northern Sichuan's eastward adjustment, and the emptiness of Sichuan are the best opportunities for us to take advantage of the emptiness." While Qing and Zheng were fighting each other with their respective national fortunes, third-party forces were also ready to move. "As the saying goes, don't miss an opportunity and never come again."

"Master Feng, you are right, but these years we have rebelled against the Qing several times, and we have been defeated by the Qing soldiers several times. The sons of each family are already outnumbered, so what are we going to use to fight the Tartars?" It was a big gathering of anti-Qing forces in eastern Sichuan. Although the big guys all wanted to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, it was difficult to unify opinions when there were too many people.

"If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to seize Sichuan, will you still be suffocating in the mountains? At that time, there will be no more Tartars and traitors. I guess we will starve ourselves to death." The original proposal Someone of course offered a counterargument. "Instead of doing that, it's better to give it a fight, and die with vigor and vigor."

"It's true. There is no flat land in my place. I finally opened a few acres of Susukida in the valley, but there is nothing to produce at all. What's more, I need salt or cloth, and there is not enough iron. I live in miasma. There is still a lack of medicine in Lizhi, and six or seven old and weak people have died in the beginning of spring this year, so how can we make it go on like this, maybe it is a chance to give it a try."

"Fight, what to fight with, don't look at the two towns going south and east, but there are still Jianchang and Songpan towns in the province, and the new governor is still training recruits. By then we will have one or two counties. , but in a blink of an eye, the Qing army surrounded them."

"Jianchang Town needs to help defend Yunnan, and Songpan Town needs to help defend Ganliang. It is so easy to deploy." They said that they were all people who did not understand the current affairs. It was precisely because they were worried about the possible invasion and suppression of the Qing army that many people tried their best to set up their eyes and ears in the county or state capital. Naturally it is no secret to them. "As for the new army of the fake Tartar governor, it's even more a joke. As long as we can conquer Chongqing, we may not be unable to do something."

"The truth is not bad, but with our strength, it may be possible to attack one or two counties, and touch Chongqing." The speaker shook his head. "This is almost a fool's dream. First of all, there is no gun, so what can I use to capture the city?"

"Maybe we can contact the Zheng family and ask them to give us some cannons." Someone suggested that the future rebel army might lack enough siege weapons. "If you want to come to the Zheng family, you'd be happy to see Guiyi in Sichuan."

"What? Take chestnuts out of the Zheng family's fire, it must be done." Someone immediately objected. "The Zheng family's desire to usurp the Ming has been exposed. How can we serve such rebellious officials and thieves? Besides, it's not that we didn't send people to contact the Zheng family during the previous uprisings in Central Sichuan, but what happened? Regardless of your life or mine."

"That is, the Hanliu in Zhu Qin's child's hands was so nice when he was in contact with sects and gangs in Huguang and Guangdong. He will be rich and powerful in the future, but how does the Zheng family repay these anti-Qing comrades now?" This is from Huguang. Anti-Puritanists such as the Qiankunhui, Tiandihui, and Baihejiao who fled to eastern Sichuan in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and other places are clamoring. "Raising a butcher's knife is more ruthless than a Tartar. We must not work for such an ungrateful person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges."

"That's right. When we rebelled in Guizhou, we had already killed the Tartars and defeated them. As a result, the Zheng family sat back and watched the Guangxi Qing army return to the division." Thinking of the tragic revenge of the Qing army at the time, several leaders of the anti-Qing armed forces who fled from Guizhou Just burst into tears. "Whoever you want to vote for Zheng, you can vote for. Anyway, we are incompatible with the Zheng family."

"Right, brothers, if we want to do it, we will do it ourselves. Why should we involve the Zheng family?"

"Then it has to be a banner." Although the meeting has not yet decided whether to really launch an incident in eastern Sichuan and southeastern Sichuan, the issue of banners has already been put on the table. "Is it Da Ming? Da Shun? Da Xi or Da Zhou?"

Since the anti-Qing forces in eastern Sichuan come from different factions, and there are often small frictions with each other, if you want to unite to fight against the Qing court, you must have a banner that can be accepted by everyone, so even if these Some of them belonged to Wu Sangui's old department, but the banner of Da Zhou was ruled out first.

"It's still Daming." Since Wu Zhou's name cannot be used, and the names of Zhang Xi and Li Shun are not loud enough, after discussions and discussions, it was finally agreed that the banner of the Ming Dynasty should be retained. "However, our respected son of heaven in the city of Nanjing will never obey the orders of unfaithful, filial, and unrighteous traitors like Zheng Kezang."

Since we want to draw a clear line with Zheng Kezang, we can't count on the support of Zheng Jun, so we are worried that our own strength alone will not be enough to attract some people in Sichuan. It's not a problem if there's no balance between traitors, but the key is that we don't have enough soldiers, we lack firearms, and we don't have enough food and fodder, so how can we seize counties and prefectures?"

"I will introduce a master to you brothers, which may solve this problem." When everyone was at a loss, someone stepped forward. Since there were many different people in the monks and Taoists in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, everyone just regarded it as someone with some financial resources. Ordinary monks and Taoists who were willing to support the anti-Qing cause never imagined that a shriveled old monk would appear in front of everyone, and what shocked them even more was the introduction by the introducer. "Brothers, this master is His Royal Highness King Ning of the Ming Dynasty."

King Ning?I am still the third prince Zhu.The crowd burst into laughter, but Zhu Da took out a section of yellow brocade and a seal, and someone nearby took them and showed them to the crowd. Dozens of village masters and sect masters flocked to watch them, but it was a golden seal of King Ning and a deposed seal. Prince Zhu Cixi nominally ordered the overthrow of Zheng Kezang's imperial edict.

"It's really His Highness King Ning." The golden seal was very beautifully made, and the seven-color edict did not look fake. For a while, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, and it took a long time for someone to speak. "But what's the use of these two things alone?" Yes, I was planning to support the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Qing Dynasty. Having Zhu Da and these two things is nothing but more righteous, and it will not help change the current anti-Qing armed forces. material difficulties. "I don't know what else His Royal Highness Ning brought?"

"Mi, a total of [-] stones, have already existed in Qijiang, Fengdu, Fuzhou (Wulong), and Pengshui respectively; [-] knives, [-] gun heads, [-] bows, and [-] arrowheads are also placed. In the counties, as long as you win the county seat, you can raise the army." Zhu Da gestured, and there were attendants beside him to help explain. "In addition, twelve small Hongyi bronze cannons were cast and placed in the homes of believers and gentry who supported Ming Dynasty"

"It's done, it's done!" Before Zhu Da finished his gestures, he was already shouting impatiently. "Support King Ning and supervise the country, let's rebel, rebel!" Some old-fashioned people were still pondering how credible Zhu Da's words were, but they couldn't stand the quarrel of the people around them, so they had to respond with Guang Tongchen first. "Separate Sichuan and rebuild Daming"

In fact, there is no way to choose a real leader among the people present. In order not to fight on their own and be annihilated by the Qing army, that's why the big guys single-mindedly put the outsider Zhu Da on the top. No, the voice As soon as they landed, several people surrounded Zhu Da and sat on the upper seat, and then all the families bowed down together, and the ceremony was thus completed.

For the "grand ceremony" of this grass-roots team, Zhu Da was not prepared, he was still prepared to persuade everyone patiently, but he did not expect that he would become the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty supported by everyone in one fell swoop.That being the case, Zhu Da, who was used to big battles, was not polite, and immediately promoted the leaders to the ranks.As a result, more than a dozen generals and more than [-] lieutenants appeared on the scene. As for generals and guerrillas, Zhu Da handed over power to everyone. them.

After Zhu Da gave a round of rewards, he decided to start an incident immediately, but he, an outsider, couldn't get in the way. Several generals and lieutenants refused to give in to each other, and they performed tit-for-tat. A consensus was reached before nightfall, and each family went back to reorganize their manpower and bring their own food. After half a month, troops were dispatched to each county.

Now that the result came out, the big guys went home to prepare. Some two of them stopped by, left the venue and had a conversation on the way back: "Ma Da is the head of the family, you see that there will be a future with Jian Guo."

"Jianguo, that shit, is just a liar who escaped from Nanjing." The head of Ma Da spat on the ground. "If it wasn't for this old boy's family background, who would care about him? As for Fuming, everyone knows what's going on. Even if Sichuan is really captured, will he still be the king of Sichuan?"

"It's true, but what I'm worried about is that it won't work, and the children in the village will be damaged in vain."

"If nothing happens, we won't be much better off. Once the Tartars and the Zheng family are separated, will we still have a way out?"

"Yes, yes, how about we contact the Zheng family, we are different from those from Huguang and Guizhou, we have no blood feud with the Zheng family, we can't follow the old liar all the way to the dark."

"Hiss!" Master Ma Dazhai gasped as if he had a toothache, and looked intently at the person who suggested it. "Master Tang, do you have contact with Dongmian?" The other party shook his head, and Village Master Ma heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. "That's right, the Tartars killed so many of us, so they wouldn't vote for them, but the Zheng family, or else, take it easy and see how Huguang fights."

"That's right, it's just according to what Ma Da is the head of the family."
