Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 683 Miao Village

Sun Kewang, Wang Shangli, Liu Chengyin and other so-called civil and military ministers led more than 3 people to protect Zhu Youlang, and withdrew from Guilin to Wuzhou.

Wuzhou is located in the eastern part of Guangxi, where the Prince Gui's Mansion is located, which is Zhu Youlang's hometown.

Guilin became an empty city.And they withdrew their troops.Originally, Xin'an's defense could last for a while.At this moment, Xing'an's troops lost their morale, and Li Zicheng's troops captured Xing'an without any effort.

Then the two groups of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong drove into Guilin Mansion on the same day.

When the news reached Liping, Zhu Yousong laughed loudly, and then sent an order to move to Guilin Mansion.

When Zhu Yousong's imperial battalion of the Chinese army entered the Guilin mansion, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses formed a long line to welcome them, and the mansion had already been cleaned.

The Golden Palace of the false emperor Zhu Youlang became Zhu Yousong's temporary palace.

Zhu Yousong took a look, hey, this Zhu Yousong nut is worthy of being the Yongli Emperor in history, he can really toss.Look at the majestic style of the palace building, resplendent and magnificent.Although it is not as good as the one in Beijing, it is not worse than Nanjing, Fengyang, Xi'an, and Chengdu.

Zhu Yousong sat on Zhu Youlang's so-called dragon chair, Liu Zhaoji, Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying, Song Xiance, Zhang Xianzhong, Yan Ximing, Li Dingguo, Zhang Huan, Zu Keyong, Ma Bao, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, Mu Tianbo, Liu Wenxiu, etc., civil and military officials, men and women, and generals attended the king's homage.

After Zhu Yousong let them die without courtesy, he listened to the generals of the two groups of soldiers and horses, and reported in detail their respective military exploits.

Zhu Yousong ordered people to record their military achievements in detail, and after the troops returned to the court, they would be rewarded together, and then passed a decree to arrange a large banquet to reward the soldiers of the three armies. Zhu Yousong specially ordered people to arrange a table for Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others. Li Dingguo, Zhang Huan, Gao Guiying, Huiying, and Huimei sat together, accompanied by Zhu Yousong himself, fulfilling his promise to hold a celebration banquet.

The banquet was set up in the afternoon, and a group of singing and dancing was brought in. While drinking, they listened to songs and watched dances, and some even made punches and orders. They drank until the second watch in the evening. After having fun, the banquet ended.

After a short rest in Guilin, two armies surrounded Wuzhou three days later. According to Zhu Yousong's will, the evil must be eradicated and the power of the false emperor should be completely wiped out.

Zhu Youlang and Sun Kewang in Wuzhou City were also at a loss, because up to now, he had sent three requests for help, but nothing came of it.

The King of Myanmar and the King of Lu are far away, so it is understandable that they did not receive a reply, but the King of Tang and Zheng Zhilong are their neighbors, and they should have received the letter of help, but they were noncommittal. I didn't see it, it seems that those gold and silver treasures were in vain.

"What to do, what to do?" Zhu Youlang heard that Zhu Yousong was sitting in Guilin himself, and that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had sent troops to outflank Wuzhou, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Sun Kewang told him to shut up, then scolded Zhu Yujian and Zheng Zhilong, discussed with Wang Shangli and Liu Chengyin, and had to withdraw.

Where to withdraw?It is impossible to go east, that is the territory of Zhu Yujian and Zheng Zhilong.They had no choice but to flee to the southwest. In this way, they abandoned Wuzhou and fled to Nanning with the puppet emperor Zhu Youlang.

After Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's men took Wuzhou, they chased after Nanning.

Sun Kewang and the others knew that the isolated city was difficult to defend, so they had to run away again.Continuing to run southwest, a few days later they reached Tianzhou, which is the Baishi area of ​​Guangxi in later generations.

A few days later, they fled from Tianzhou to the Yunnan area. In the past few months, Zhu Youlang and Sun Kewang hardly resisted, just running blindly.

This time he traveled thousands of miles, but the 3 people who tossed him along the way were greatly reduced. There were countless deserters every day, and now there were less than [-] people around them.

Zhu Youlang regretted it now and wanted to surrender, but he didn't dare to say it.It's hard to get on and off a pirate ship.Now, as Emperor Yongli, it would be better to fart than talk, and Sun Kewang had the final say.

Sun Kewang continued to flee westward with the puppet and puppet emperor. Now that the Ming army was chasing and intercepting them everywhere, they had no choice but to go to the mountains and forests, and then take a boat to change the waterway. It is more convenient to move with fewer people.

But now they have a goal, because they received a reply letter from King Mangda of Burma. It is impossible to send troops to rescue them, but as long as they can come to Burma, they can temporarily take them in.

This is not bad, Sun Kewang, Zhu Youlang and others are grateful to have a place to live.

However, when Sun Kewang's men ran to Jiangyuan (now Pu'er City, Yunnan), they were attacked by local armed forces.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were lost and some things were robbed. Zhu Youlang was so frightened that he hid in the dragon and dared not come out.

After Sun Kewang and Wang Shangli killed the attacking soldiers and horses, they sent people to inquire, and only then did they know that they were attacked by local Miao armed forces.

The leader of the Miao people here is called Ashan, who is the chieftain here. There are tens of thousands of villagers under his command, and the armed forces alone have reached [-] people.Relying on the height of the mountains and the distance from the emperor, they have always disobeyed Daming's control. Even if Mu Tianbo is in Yunnan, he has nothing to do with them except to appease them.

Because Sun Kewang's men broke into the territory of the Miao Village, one of his armed forces took action.

Zhu Youlang and Liu Chengyin planned to avoid this place, but Sun Kewang disagreed, and arranged for 2000 people to escort them, find a suitable location, and after setting up the camp, ordered the 2000 people to spread pennants to bluff and set up a [-]-scale imperial camp.

Then Sun Kewang took Zhu Youlang's autographed letter, and the remaining 5000 people including Wang Shangli came to the bottom of the Miao Village.

Sun Kewang didn't attack the stockade, instead, he asked to see their family members and borrowed the road.

The native leader Ah Shan heard that the soldiers of the Ming army were pressing down on the border, so he hurried up to the gate of the village to watch. It was indeed the banner of the Ming army. Ah Shan is even more dismissive of the scale of thousands of people.

Ding Tulang, a general under his command, refused to accept it, and led 3000 village men to open the gate of the village to resist the enemy. The two armies formed a formation.

Then the troops commanded by Sun Kewang came over and killed them. The Miao people were defeated and retreated into the stronghold, not daring to go out to fight.

Sun Kewang still did not attack the stronghold, nor did he kill Ding Tulang. Instead, he kept his soldiers under pressure, released Ding Tulang, and sent Liu Chengyin to the stronghold to negotiate with Emperor Yongli's seal.

This time, Ah Shan not only agreed to borrow the way, but also agreed to submit to Emperor Yongli, and together with Sun Kewang, he helped protect Zhu Youlang, opened the gate of the village, and welcomed them in.

Sun Kewang and Zhu Youlang were overjoyed, and directly named Ah Shan the crown prince Taibao, the right servant of the Ministry of War, second only to Wang Shangli, the left servant of the Ministry of War in terms of official status.

Ashan was also quite satisfied. When Zhu Youlang and Sun Kewang discussed with him about withdrawing troops and seeking refuge in Myanmar, Ashan laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge, what are you avoiding? As long as Zhu Yousong's army dares to come, I will discipline them." There is no back and forth!"
