The Qing army in Sichuan looked exhausted, but the implementation was not.As early as when Silda led his troops to invade Chongqing, he flew to ask Kangxi to send reinforcements from narrow west.After a short period of weighing, Kangxi, who was rewarded, felt that Cewang Allah Butan had no possibility of invading Gansu again in a short period of time, so he agreed to transfer the elite Western Army from Narrow Gansu to Sichuan.

Although the road to the northwest was difficult and it took time to prepare rations for the large army to attack, the Qing army still entered Shu in July and August of that year.

With [-] people against Li Sijiu's [-] troops, it is easy to capture, but Xierda and Sang'e wanted to solve the Sichuan issue in one fell swoop, so they could not bear to sit and watch Li Sijiu turn into Kangbian, Yazhou with a false shot.When Xia Jun's brigade entered Longquanyi, Xierda revealed his hole card, but Mao Hongyan suffered a big loss.

If Mao Hongyan led all the veterans of the Xia Army, even if the Qing army was the elite of the Western Army, they could still fight for a while, but most of Xia Army's troops in the southwest were expanded on the spot. It is an indisputable fact that there are various ministries in the belly, so it is naturally not an order of magnitude opponent when encountering the Qing army with a large cavalry team.

In the first year of Wucheng and the 38th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, on December [-]th, the two sides of the Qing and Xia fought fiercely on the Chengdu Plain in Yiqing, Xuzhou and other places to report the enemy's situation, and reluctantly organized the remaining [-] Xia troops to retreat to Longquanyi.The Qing army immediately surrounded the Xia army, and the offensive and defensive momentum was immediately reversed.

"My lords, please take a look. This is the surrender letter sent by Qinglu." Mao Hongyan, who had lost a lot of weight in the past two days, scanned the officers in the tent and took out Silda's surrender letter. "The conditions are still very generous. As long as we are willing to surrender, the title will only be promoted but not demoted. Those who want to continue to command the army can still be the commander-in-chief or deputy general."

Liu Shusheng, the first-rank captain of the third rank, commander of the third division of the Dingsheng Army, and a male from Jianshi County, received the letter of persuasion, and tore it into pieces without even looking at it: "My lord, these things can be used to pollute everyone. eyes?"

Standing beside Liu Shusheng, Liu Ye, the commander of the third division of the Dingsheng Army and the third-rank captain of the fourth grade, took a step forward and bowed to Mao Hongyan: "My lord, I will be loyal to Huaxia when I eat the imperial salary. , Even today, even if the body is shrouded in horse leather, it is a worthy death. If you surrender to the Tartars, don’t try it, my lord.

A group of generals from the Boy Scouts and Old Zheng's Army also responded in unison: "Master Chief, I would rather die than surrender."

Amidst the clamor for the battle, Huang Deyu was commanded by the Second Division of the Xuanwei Army, Tang Zhiqi was commanded by the Fourth Division of the Huben Army, and Luo Zhi was commanded by the First Division of the Longwu Army. Very, but the arm can't twist the thigh, and objecting at this moment can only make Xia Jun doubt it.

Mao Hongyan nodded slightly when he saw what everyone said: "When we were in Dongning, we never thought that we would have this day. Now that Spyker is here, naturally we can't be ashamed of the officials who cut you and me out of nothing. Get up, so there is only one way to be loyal, if you want to come here with the golden words of the officials, you and my descendants will not have no way out."

In addition to the patriarchal system of the Huaxia Dynasty, Mao Hongyan was also very afraid of Zheng Kezang's involvement in the Han family, so he would not harm his descendants if he said anything. We still need to appreciate the good intentions, so this official decided to send someone to discuss the specific conditions with the Tartars."

Mao Hongyan's words caused a buzz of astonishment, but Mao Hongyan did not use the authority of the coach to suppress it at this moment, but further clarified his plan: "The negotiation of terms is always about repaying the money on the spot and asking for the price. There must be several negotiations. , This gives us time to rectify, and the ministries should use this time to reorganize."

Only then did everyone understand, and Mao Hongyan continued to take care of him: "In addition, digging trenches is also the first priority. If there is still some cement in the middle bases, it will be used on the knife edge now."

Having said that, Mao Hongyan also knew that the amount of cement that each division could preserve was really not much.On the one hand, the central supply to the Southwest is limited and needs to be transported thousands of miles, so the number of ministries originally got is limited; A lot, and it is not easy to keep two or three out of ten in the end, but Liao Sheng has nothing.

So Mao Hongyan just mentioned it briefly, but the following content is even more important: "Food, gunpowder, lead, etc. must be handed over in a unified manner. The number of rifles, bird guns, and artillery will definitely not be many, so they must be used collectively. The dances of all parts should also be centralized and controlled by the commander himself???????

Since it was the end of the new year and knowing that the Xia army had limited food reserves, although Xierda had seen through Mao Hongyan's plan to delay the troops, he was still preparing for a strong attack and a long-term siege while hoping for a successful lure to surrender.

At this time, the Syrian defenders who received the bad news hurriedly sent people to the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces for emergency. The five provinces of South China and Guizhou each have a garrison of one division, the five provinces of Jiangnan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, and Yunnan each have a garrison of two divisions, Jianghuai has eleven divisions, Hubei has 52 divisions, and Xuyong has five Division---Fortunately, all the provinces knew the truth, and insisted on sending a division to reinforce Xu Yong, that is to say, Silda stood still and gave Xia Fang a chance to turn the crisis into safety.

As for He Gan, when he got the news of the defeat in front, he didn't care to continue knocking on the Jiange, and hurriedly led the troops back to the front line of Shunqing Mansion.

It wasn't that He Gan and Mao Hongyan had a heart-to-heart relationship and didn't want to go straight to Chengdu for rescue, but that the He Department had a complicated composition. Among them, half of the main force of the Xia army that entered Sichuan from Huguang had been handed over to Mao Hongyan, and the rest was recruited by Chuan Dongming from multiple departments. Army and the divisions of the Changjie Army newly formed after surrendering to the Green Banner Army, their combat effectiveness is doubtful and their reliability is even lower.Under such circumstances, He Gan naturally couldn't advance westward with light troops, and retreating to protect the Yangtze River waterway and receiving more Huguang Xia troops into Sichuan became his only choice.

Xuyong and Yidong could only protect themselves, and Mao Hongyan, without foreign aid, could only suffer for a long time under the siege of the Qing army and the hunger and cold.Fortunately, the Qing army could not continue to send troops from Gansu to reinforce Sichuan due to the cold weather and the problem of food supply and transportation. Therefore, the Xia army still has the last hope to change the situation of the battle??????

Although he couldn't convince Silda to accept his suggestion, Sanger still kept Bei Jing secret.Kangxi, who got the Sanger playbook, was so shocked that he almost fell off the dragon chair. Knowing that things might change, Kangxi ignored the practice of not handling government affairs during the New Year, and sent an imperial envoy to Sichuan to urge Silda to march. By the time I walked across the Shu Road with one foot low and the other high and came to the front line of Longquanyi, the second year's Shangyuan Festival had already passed.

Kangxi was not safe in the new year, and Zheng Kezang was naturally the same. Affected by the sudden corruption of the situation in central Shu, Zheng Kezang was also in a state of desperation at the beginning of the new year, so much so that the marriage of the second daughter of the emperor, Princess Deyang, Zheng Xinrou, was all given to him. Empress Chen Xianqiao was in charge, and she had no time to ask.Fortunately, in July, the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess De'an, Zheng Xinjia, had successfully married her son-in-law, Ouyang He, otherwise Fang Yuniang would not be the only one complaining about Zheng Kezang.

The New Year’s Day is fruitful anyway. The Privy Council, which was also driven by people, came up with a mobilization plan. According to this plan, the Third Division of the Longxiang Army belonging to the Yangtze River Navy was hastily transferred to Hunan. Correspondingly, the former Hunan Garrison Take out one division and five divisions of the Hubei garrison to follow the waterway, Qing.

However, it is a pity that the reinforcements came too late. Under the supervision of the Kangxi envoy, Silda led the Qing army to launch the most violent attack on Longquanyi.The Xia army, which had been out of food for two days, resisted hungry. Although it inflicted great damage on the Qing army, collapse was inevitable.

At the beginning of the second day of the war, the Xia army, whose number had dropped sharply to less than 2000, could only rely on a few official buildings and shops such as the inspection department in Yizhen to carry out the final fight.At this time, Mao Hongyan, who already knew that there would be no escape, committed suicide, and Liu Shusheng was killed by the Qing army after being captured. Huang Deyu, Tang Zhiqi, and Luo Zhi also died or were seriously injured in the battle.

Seeing the remnants of the Xia army's officers and men still fighting against the beasts, the Qing army could not help but show their beastliness.

At every moment, the Qing army set fire to the Longquan post, and the fire soared into the sky. Thousands of Xia soldiers would rather go through the fire than surrender, so they died with the post town. The Qing army has won the final victory so far.

When the news of Mao Hongyan's defeat and death came back to Wuchang, Zheng Kezang burst into tears, and then made Mao Hongyan the uncle of Runan County and Liu Shusheng the son of Zhushan County.In view of the brutality of the Qing army in the final process of attacking Longquanyi, Zheng Kezang ordered the suspension of the negotiations between Qing and Xia, which sounded the alarm to continue the Northern Expedition.
