Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 314 Three Years War ([-])

After receiving the order of the Military Commission, the Second Army moved quickly, and a large amount of troops and materials were tilted towards Anqing and Chizhou.In fact, Zhang Liansheng had already mobilized troops on a small scale before, but because he had not received an official order from the Military Commission, Zhang Liansheng dared not decide whether to fight or not to fight, and how to fight.Now that the order from the Military Commission came down, Zhang Liansheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Second Army now has three battalions, the fifth, seventh, and eighth, with a strength of 20.If you add the agricultural guards in Lu'an Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, Chizhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, and Ningguo Prefecture and other counties within the jurisdiction, the force will reach 30.In this battle, Zhang Liansheng recruited nearly half of the agricultural guards from five prefectures and one state in the jurisdiction and as many as 20 civilian husbands to guarantee logistics.

The war was imminent, and the thoughts of the lieutenants fluctuated greatly.There were militant factions gearing up, and some fearful ones. At this time, the preachers got busy.They kept using words to appease those who were afraid of war, promised them a bright future after the victory, conveyed to them the consequences of being a deserter because of fear of war, and described the danger of the enemy entering the territory of the security regiment. The turmoil in the army quickly subsided due to the relationship between the senior preacher and the soldiers.In this way, the entire Second Army was mobilized.

The 20 army moved like a prehistoric monster, and the entire area west of Jinling Mansion was in turmoil.The dispatch of troops on such a scale cannot be concealed from the enemies in the south. Wu Sangui, who is in Jiujiang Mansion, quickly received relevant information.

A few days ago, Wu Sangui's vanguard general Wu Zhimao led the cavalry to break into Chizhou Prefecture.At that time, the Wu army was still sweating coldly, for fear that this elite cavalry would be eaten by bandits, and many generals expressed their opposition.However, Wu Sangui resisted all opinions and let Wu Zhimao lead his army into Chizhou Prefecture.In fact, Wu Sangui was also a little uneasy, but he received information from the spy that the guards in Chizhou Mansion were lax, a large number of troops were stationed in the area, and the regiment's defense line was strict on the outside and wide on the inside.After thinking twice, Wu Sangui made up his mind to send Wu Zhimao to Chizhou Mansion.Before leaving, Wu Sangui repeatedly told Wu Zhimao to be careful, and to withdraw the team if the gangsters counterattacked.

Later, Wu Zhimao lived up to the expectations, even galloped half of the Chizhou Prefecture, and killed a lot of people in it, which surprised Wu Sangui greatly.Wu Sangui believed that the gangsters' combat effectiveness had degraded after years of comfortable and prosperous life.

As a result, the 30 troops that had been secretly mobilized began to gather for the expedition.Wu Sangui swore to march northward in Fucheng, Jiujiang Prefecture, and together with [-] civilians, he claimed to have an army of [-].The momentum was so great that it was the same for a while, and northern Jiangxi shook instantly.

At the same time, Xinshun was agitated by thousands of sails and went down the river.The predecessor of the Xinshun regime was Kuidong Thirteen Families, half of which belonged to Li Chuangyu's tribe, and the other half were local landlords and gentry.Because of Ye Su's entry into Sichuan, these people became enemies with the security team.Back then when the Security Corps was powerful, they had to send envoys to the Security Corps because of the general situation. Now that the Security Corps was under siege, these people also encouraged the Xinshun regime to send troops to the Security Corps.Especially the third Tan of the Thirteen Family, Tan Wen, Tan Hong and Tan Yi, regard the security team as bandits.

With the efforts of San Tan, Wang Guangxing, the real power faction in Xinshunzhong, also fell to San Tan.Wang Guangxing, formerly known as Wang Guangtai, was originally a member of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty.At the beginning, his brother Wang Guangen was the main one. The three Wang family brothers Wang Guangen, Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang were well-known in the rebel army.Later, the three brothers returned to the former Ming Dynasty, and followed Xu Qiyuan of the Yunyang Fuyuan to surrender to the Tartars. Later, Wang Guangen was arrested and taken to the capital because he was wrong with Pan Shiliang, the Yunyang Fuyuan appointed by the Tartars.So Wang Guangxing and his younger brother led the rebellion, smashing Yunyang, Xiangyang and other prefectures and counties, and the sound shook the world.After receiving the battle report, the Tartars beheaded Wang Guangen, and dispatched Kakamu, the official minister, to lead the Tartar army to suppress it. His younger brother Wang En died of illness, and Wang Guangxing led his army back to Sichuan due to lack of strength.Later, the security regiment started at the junction of Henan and Hubei, and Wang Guangxing led the army back to the Xingshan area.Among Kui Dong's thirteen families, Wang Guangxing was extremely old, powerful, and prestigious.

Wang Guangxing's defection to San Tan greatly increased San Tan's strength, and Ye Su's tribe guarded Kuizhou Mansion tightly, even if Xinshun wanted to go to Sichuan to find trouble with Ye Su, it would be difficult for him to enter.So, by the way, Xin set his sights on the headquarters of the security regiment.Now that the Tartars have retreated to Jiangbei, and Xinshun occupies Wuchang Mansion, looking around, the only way out is to follow the general trend and attack the security regiment.

On the western battlefield, only Xinshun Li Laiheng and Zhou Wang Wu Sangui fought against the security regiment.Compared with the imminent battle on the west battlefield, the south battlefield has already started in full swing.Canming Ming Yi Gong Jin Li's Department has already entered Jinhua Mansion, and Lu Wang's Department also attacked Taizhou Mansion Zhengsheng, and Ming Zhong Gong Geng Jimao was among them.The southern front was almost a mess. Before receiving the order from the Military Commission, Zhang Chengwu had already mobilized his troops, and more than [-] troops galloped towards Jinhua and Taizhou Prefectures starry night.

Fujian Zhangzhou Mansion, Yanping County Prince's Mansion.Zhu Chenggong has received the information that Jin Li, Lu Wang, and Geng Jimao fought against the bandits.According to the agreement, Geng Jimao's army went northward, and Zhu Chenggong also obeyed the agreement and led the navy to go northward to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Chenggong has always liked hesitation. In his previous life, Qiu Tianxing teamed up with Li Dingguo and attacked Nanjing City.This time Zhu Chenggong hesitated because he thought that now that the Tartars are still alive and the northern land is still in the blood, at this time the brothers are fighting against each other, right or wrong?
However, the ideal is no better than the reality. Now the war between the parties is a battle of interests, and it is a battle of doctrines.Although many people can't tell any profound truths, they can still vaguely feel that the gangsters are different from them, and they are even more afraid that the world will change drastically after the gangsters win the country.

Although Zhu Chenggong is the leader of Zhu's army, the will of the leader must obey the will of the group. In the end, Zhu Chenggong decided to send troops.

In the 12th year of Huaxing, on April 23, the ninth year of Yongli, Zhu Chenggong led a hundred thousand navy soldiers to go north, accompanied by several concubines and princes.

So far, there are Xinshun Li Laiheng, Zhou Wang Wu Sangui, Lu Wang Zhu Yihai, Ming Yi Gong Jin Li, Ming Zhong Gong Geng Jimao, and Yanping County Wang Zhu Chenggong who have already fought and are about to fight against the security regiment.At this time, Daxi Army, Yongli, and Mingde Gong Shang Kexi have not yet made any moves.

If these three parties joined the battle, plus the Tartars from the north, there would be a total of ten parties. It could be said that all ten parties would be enemies.
