Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Now that the Zen Dynasty and enthronement ceremony were over, Zheng Kezang boarded the boat and returned west. Before boarding the boat, Zheng Kezang issued an order to expand the size of the Xia Army's land division by a quarter within three years, and the existing fifteen armies52 The scale of 33 officers and soldiers in each division was expanded to 66 in 41 divisions of [-] armies to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

The same edict formally upgraded the Sanyang Fleet and the Yangtze River Fleet to naval divisions, thereby establishing the command system of the navy, fleet, squadron, and ship (ship), and setting up admirals, commanders, commanders, and management belts as commanders. .In the future, a squadron will roughly include four to six warships (warships) of the same specification, and the fleet will govern two to four squadrons. Several fleets will form a navy in a certain direction. Of course, those notification ships and auxiliary ships with very low loads Are not counted in the main establishment??????

The alternation of Ming and Xia is a major event that affects the whole of China, and Kangxi in Beijing naturally pays attention to it all the time.

It is impossible to say that Kangxi did not have the mind to find opportunities to profit from it, but on the one hand, although Zheng Kezang left Wuchang to go out for inspections, Zheng Fan's cabinet and the Privy Council remained in Wuchang to perform central tasks, and the defenders of Huguang and Jianghuai were also all God's preparation for war did not give the Qing court a chance to fight back violently;

On the other hand, the Qing court is not the only enemy of the Zheng family. Although Zhungeer in the west has shifted his attention to Bukhara and other places, he may make a comeback anytime and anywhere, and Eros in the north is an insatiable hungry wolf. Opportunity just wants to tear off a piece of meat from the Qing court, not to mention the Qing court that lost Jiangnan, Huguang and a small half of Sichuan is extremely financially struggling, and the Han people in the north have been oppressed to a certain critical line. There is no financial resources to pay tribute to the Qing army for a series of battles.

Therefore, Kangxi could only suppress his unwillingness, and sent envoys to congratulate Zheng Kezang on his establishment on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Qing and Xia countries could formally sign a peace treaty and divide China equally.Of course, seeking peace and strike is just a superficial article. Kangxi also knew that Zheng Kezang would not necessarily agree, so he had to continue to prepare for the war. Therefore, in order to solve the financial difficulties, Kangxi issued successive decrees in February and March, abandoning the original ban on Han people re-entering the army. Back to the strategy of Liaodong, landless people were encouraged to enter Liaodong to reclaim wasteland and rent out Huangzhuang and Manchurian princes' farmland, hoping to increase taxes and make up for the financial gap.

(The blood pressure is high, and the cervical spine has problems, so I can only update as much as possible)

Kangxi tried to hide his minions, try his best to regroup, but the trees were quiet but the wind kept on.Just No. 11 days after Zheng Kezang returned to Wuchang, Ning Wang Zhu Da, who had already run out of fuel, finally died in the anxiety and uncontrollable anger after learning that Zheng Kezang had officially replaced the Ming Dynasty. .

It doesn't matter if Zhu Da dies, but the mess left behind is a big headache for his followers.Originally, the Eastern Sichuan Ming Army was a hodgepodge-style combination, and Zhu Da was just the leader and symbol of it. There were many people who did not sincerely obey Zhu Da's dispatch, let alone the stinky heir that Zhu Da left behind. .

Therefore, most of Zhu Da's survivors advocated surrendering to the Huaxia Dynasty in exchange for everyone's prosperity and wealth according to Zhu Da's confession before his death. However, Zhu Da's heirs were not included among those who advocated descending to Xia.

The true identity of Zhu Yiqin, who was only 16 years old, was unknown, but the time spent by Zhu Da's side convinced him that he was the rightful heir to the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, the ambitious young man naturally wanted to inherit Zhu Chongba's glory, and naturally he was unwilling to go to Wuchang to be a caged bird, so he secretly sent his confidants to contact some powerful factions in the Ming army in eastern Sichuan.

Of course, most of Zhu Yiqin's envoys hit a wall. Most of the Eastern Sichuan Ming Army who were caught between the Qing Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty could no longer bear the hardships in the gap. He has the intention to help this little Jianguo who has neither influence nor strength.

In this chapter&nbs qing, and with the help of Zhu Yiqin, he captured the defense.

Since all the hosts either went to Zunyi to contact Xia Jun, or were deceived into the main hall by Zhu Yiqin and imprisoned, the attacked Zhu Da's army did not organize a strong resistance at all, and they were either forced to surrender to the Li Department or dispersed in a crowd. Li Sijiu, who made Li Sijiu seize Qing without bloodshed, was respectful to Zhu Yiqin on the surface, but after annexing the most elite Zhu Da's army in the Ming army in eastern Sichuan, Li's strength had expanded to ten thousand, and some of them were unwilling to be restrained by the Huaxia Dynasty. The eastern Sichuan forces came to seek refuge, and Li Sijiu became a powerful minister in charge of the Chongqing small court in one fell swoop.

Li Sijiu's actions caused further division of the Ming army in eastern Sichuan, and it was naturally impossible for the Qing army not to take advantage of it.

In the first year of Huaxia Wucheng, in the 38th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, on May 27th in the second year of Ming Taishun, General Sangger led [-] troops to the south of Longchang, the prefectural capital of Syria, to contain the Xia army Xuyong Zongbing and Shanqing. , trying to seize this important town in eastern Sichuan in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the civil strife in the Ming army.

As soon as the Qing army moved, the Xia army naturally couldn't just sit back and watch it seize all of Sichuan and threaten the surrounding provinces. Therefore, under the leadership of the former Sichuan Dongming army who were willing to surrender to Xia, the Xia army's troops who were also waiting for the pillow also quickly entered various places in eastern Sichuan.By the beginning of July, apart from the fact that Mao Hongyan, who was held back by Sang E, had not made an inch of progress, the Xia army attacking from Guizhou had already taken over the chongqing prefectures of Nanchuan, Qijiang, Jiangjin, Fuling, Fengdu, Shizhu, Wulong, Pengshui, and Youzhou. The three counties of Yangyang, Qianjiang and Xiushui also raised their flags and surrendered.On the other hand, the Xia army advancing from Huguang took Kuizhou and Zhongzhou all the way, and Suiding and Shunqing also had a considerable number of prefectures and counties attached to them.

Based on this, Zheng Kezang delineated Enshi and Yichang, which were originally subordinate to Hubei, and added Yidong Province (and other places). This province takes Kuizhou Prefecture as its capital and has five prefectures under its jurisdiction, including Enshi, Yichang, Suiding, and Shunqing. , and Zhongzhou and Youyang two Zhili states.He Gan, the former Guizhou General Soldier and Changhua (County) Bo, was appointed as the Chief Soldier Officer of Eastern Sichuan, and unified command of the various departments of the Xia Army that entered the eastern Sichuan. Guizhou deputy commander-in-chief, why do you do backup. < The Qing defense battle has also reached the most critical moment.

Although the composition of Li Jiusi's troops is complex and morale is low, there is a deep hatred between the Ming army in eastern Sichuan and the Qing army. Therefore, despite the constant internal conflicts, they can still share the same hatred when the enemy is at hand.In addition, Li Sijiu had already considered the worst possible situation at the beginning of the operation, so he made various preparations early in the morning. <The Ming army near Qing fought desperately with the Qing army relying on the rugged terrain, complex environment, solid fortifications, and the grain hoarded by Zhu Da earlier. For a month, the Qing army was killed and wounded, but they could only look at the Jialing River and sigh.

In the ninth month of the war, He Gan, who had already unified Xia Ming's army, suddenly attacked Nanchong, the prefecture of Shunqing.Fearing that the Xia army would take advantage of the momentum to attack the entire Sichuan, the exhausted Silda had to lead the army to retreat to Chengdu.

However, it is not so easy for the Qing army to retreat. Li Sijiu showed his heroic qualities at this time, and gathered only a thousand elite soldiers to pursue the Qing army. Pushing Silda's ass to recover Bishan, Tongliang, Dazu, Hechuan, Rongchang, and threatened Longchangsang's forehead and back.

In the face of the enemy's front and back, Sang'e is worthy of being a veteran of fleeing from the enemy's front. , thus throwing Zizhou and other places to the Xia and Ming armies to fight for food, in an attempt to divert the conflict and preserve the Qing army's presence in Sichuan.

At this time, the situation in Sichuan became even more chaotic. The Xia army who entered Sichuan from two routes had already controlled the prefectures of eastern Sichuan, northeast Sichuan, southern Sichuan, and southwestern Sichuan and established two new provinces, Yidong and Xuyong, while the Qing army died. Baocheng, Mianyang, and Baoning are all the way, while the Ming army under Li Sijiu controls a long strip of land from Chongqing in the east to Zizhou in the west.

Judging from the distribution of the three forces, the Ming army caught between the two powers is actually in danger.But at this time, Zhu Yiqin, who was stunned and stunned, proposed to hold an enthronement ceremony to inherit Ming Zuo, regardless of the actual situation where his own strength was the weakest, which ignited the conflict between him and Li Sijiu.

On October 24th of that year, at the expense of Qing and other places, Xia Jun was asked to forgive him.Just when General Xia Jun was quite surprised, Li Sijiu resolutely gave up the various places, gathered 15 troops and [-] old and weak and rushed to Chengdu.

For the battle between the Ming army and the Qing army, Xia Jun is naturally happy to see it succeed, not to mention that Li Sijiu's troops also brought 10,000+ old, weak, sick and disabled to fight, isn't this a joke?However, when Xia Jun was watching jokes and taking over various places, Li Sijiu, who rushed towards the Chengdu Plain, shot a feint, turned around and headed west, and then seized Mingshan, Lushan and other counties in Yazhou Prefecture, and successfully got rid of Qingxia's attack. Create a small world by the side.Not to mention how Li Sijiu drove the Tibetans and Hans to run his small power in Chuankang, the disappearance of the buffer made it inevitable that there would be a direct confrontation between Qing and Xia.

On the seventh day of December in the first year of Wucheng, Xu Yong's general soldier Mao Hongyan led eight divisions to approach Longquanyi on the outskirts of Chengdu.On the same day, Yidong General He Gan also led five divisions into Langzhong, Baoning Prefecture, threatening Jianmen, preparing to cut off the Qing army's rescue channel from Shaanxi and Gansu.
