Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 207 The Third Siege ([-])

While Qiu Tianxing was working hard in Jinling City, bemoaning when he would be able to get rid of this heavy political affairs, the court of the Tartars in the northern capital was gathering a large army to encircle and suppress the bandits occupying Jiangning.

Because the fall of Jiangning made the rebels all over the world tend to become stronger, the Tartar court reactivated Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Tartars' entry into the customs and the peace of the world. However, since Hong Chengchou returned to his hometown to guard the system due to his father's death in the fourth year of Huaxing, he no longer held military power.Although he also held important positions in Beijing during this period, his status is not the same as in the past.In the history of Qiu Tianxing's previous life, he also defeated the Great Western Army a few years later, built the Southwest Line of Defense, and finally exhausted the Great Western Army to infighting and defeat.It can be said that Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Tartars, but in the end the Tartar emperor turned his face and was ruthless, and included him in the biography of the second official.

Because of the urgency of the war, Hong Chengchou was appointed as the Taibao and Prince Taishi. He managed the four provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and the governor of military affairs and food and payment.Before leaving, the Tartar emperor held a farewell banquet and gave him a BMW and a treasured sword.

This time, Hong Chengchou's strategy for the four provinces was aimed directly at the security regiment headquarters in Jiangning.Even though bandits are active in the heartland of Shandong and Shanxi, even though the Daxi Army has captured Guangxi and Hunan, and has occupied the four provinces in the southwest, the momentum is huge.However, in the eyes of the Tartars, the bandit headquarters sitting in Jiangning are the most harmful.All of this was caused by the regiment headquarters. As long as Jiangning is recovered, the remnants of rebels everywhere will naturally be depressed.

It's just that because of the containment of the second and fourth battalions in the north, the Tartar court patched together only [-] troops and handed them over to Hong Chengchou.Among them, nearly half of the [-] troops are real Tartars, led by Tan Tai and Aobai.Tan Tai was originally a member of Dorgon's party. When Tan Tai was panicked after Dorgon's death, the little emperor forgave Dorgon's party members and reused him. Tan Tai was very grateful and became more and more loyal to the little emperor in his heart. .In fact, there is no way for the little emperor Shunzhi to reuse Tan Tai. Now bandits are rampant, and the generals in the court are withered.How could Shunzhi forget Tan Tai, who once defeated Hong Chengchou, led his army to sweep Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, and Li Chengdong, and single-handedly crushed the hope of rejuvenation?Since Shunzhi had already forgiven Dorgon and his henchmen in order to ease internal conflicts, it is natural to make the most of this value.Shunzhi naturally couldn't abandon Tan Tai as a general.

As for Aobai, he was a well-known general of the Tartar tribe, and he was the nephew of Fei Yingdong, one of the five founding ministers of the country.It's just that for a long time, Obai has been at odds with Dorgon, suppressed by Dorgon, and will die several times.Now that Dorgon is dead, there is no one to suppress Obai.After being reused by Shunzhi, Aobai is about to soar into the sky.

With strong soldiers and strong generals, Hong Chengchou, the newly appointed governor of the four provinces, confidently led an army of [-] troops to the south.In order not to waste too much troops in the second battalion and first battalion defense areas, Hong Chengchou led the troops from the capital to Henan, and then came to Anqing through Hubei.At this time, the battalion commander of the fifth battalion was leading his army to attack Anqing. As soon as Hong Chengchou's troops arrived, Anqing's danger was lifted.Then, Hong Chengchou set up the Jiangxi camp in Anqing, the headquarters of the bandits of the encirclement and suppression regiment.

After contacting Zhejiang and Fujian, Hong Chengchou set up the Jiangdong camp in Changzhou, under the charge of Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.For a while, the security regiment headquarters felt strong pressure.

Because the whole world is rebellious, the imperial court's forces are firmly restrained in various places, and it is difficult to concentrate, so there must be a sequence in order to eliminate the rebels.The headquarters of the bandits in Jiangning is a serious problem, and it must be wiped out immediately.Otherwise, with Jiangnan's tax support, Jiangning's bandits will be even more difficult to control.Moreover, the imperial court urgently needs blood from Jiangnan, otherwise the army of millions will eventually collapse without a fight.

Because the bandits in Shaanxi and Shanxi had been fighting each other for several years, they could not be completely wiped out for a while, so the imperial court ordered Prince He Shuoying, Azig, to command an army of [-] troops to sit in Shanxi to contain the bandits, and must block the way out of Jin Dynasty.

However, the regiment bandits in Shandong began to revive after Zhang Cunren, governor of the three provinces, led troops to encircle and suppress them. The court ordered Heshuo Zheng Prince Jierhalang to lead [-] troops to suppress them.

In Shaanxi, the imperial court dispatched the troops of Pingxi King Wu Sangui, leaving only Mo Ergen and Li Guohan.Mo Ergen was in charge of the battle situation in Yan'an Mansion, while Li Guohan led his troops to station in Baoning Mansion, blocking Liu Wenxiu, who had offered the rest of the bandits, the way to go north to Shaanxi.

The reason why Wu Sangui was drawn out was that in addition to the bandits, the rest of the bandits were also vaguely suspected of being big.Now the rest of the bandits are sitting in several provinces in the southwest, and in terms of land area alone, they are far better than the bandits.Therefore, when encircling and suppressing bandits, the rest of the bandits should not be ignored.

So the imperial court ordered Wu Sangui to lead his troops to Hunan, and Prince Jingjin Nikan also went south to Hunan at the same time as Wu Sangui.Of course, in order to avoid multi-party wars, the imperial court also sent envoys to each war zone. The edict contained the intention of ceding the land occupied by the other party in exchange for a republic.Of course, this is just confusion, and all results ultimately depend on strength.

After entering the customs, the Tartar generals died one after another. Abatai, Daishan, Haoge, Duoduo, and Dorgon were already dead, and soon Azige, Jierhalang, Luck Dehun and others .It seems that these generals descended from the sky before the Tartars rose up, and after the world was about to be pacified, these generals returned to the sky one after another.This kind of thinking is creepy, but fortunately, in this time and space, with the rise of the security team, this kind of thinking has no market.

Just because the generals of the Tartars withered, and now facing the counterattacks of the rebels all over the world, there was a lack of generals for a while.In desperation, the Tartars could only rely more on those Han officials who surrendered.

Therefore, when Wu Sangui was ordered to go south, the Tazi court appointed him General Pingxi, and Xu Ruo entrusted him to open a feudal clan and set up a mansion to guard the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and take charge of military and civilian affairs after Xu Ruo captured Yunnan and Guizhou.This made Wu Sangui overjoyed, and became more active in working for the Tartars.

Similarly, because Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao entered the same city, conflicts between the two sides increased.At this moment, because Zhu Chenggong was established in Fujian, the Tazi court asked Geng Jimao to move to Fujian.Not only that, but Shunzhi also generously bestowed the title of Geng Jimao's father, Geng Zhongming, to Geng Jimao, so Geng Jimao became the new King of Jingnan.This move made Geng Jimao grateful to the Tartar court.At the same time, Shang Kexi was overjoyed that Guangdong was finally his, and no one would snatch it from him anymore.

In this way, the Tartar court completed the layout of Jiangnan.Wu Sangui and Nikan defended against the rest of the Daxi Army, Shang Kexi faced Yongli, Geng Jimao fought against Zhu Chenggong, and finally Hong Chengchou, the manager of the four provinces, commanded the army to encircle and suppress the bandit headquarters on both sides.For a time, wars broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, and no province could escape the war.The dwindling population has been reduced even more sharply. Behind the strings of numbers are the tragic scenes of families being destroyed and relatives being destroyed.

The same is true in Jiangbei, Shandong, Shanxi and Shaanxi are still stubbornly resisting.As a result, Zhili was also turbulent, with continuous uprisings and killings happening all the time.

At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Tartar troops were divided into several places.If the Tartars lose again, the world will lose its co-lord and completely turn into a situation of melee among princes.
