Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The previous article is wrong, the poor Daqingma died of serious injuries as early as last year in the battle of Yangzhou.

........

The envoy of King Jin who was "escorted" by Lin Tianqing all the way to Guiyang was his general Le Tongwu, who was originally ordered by King Li Jin to sneak back from Mengma to the border of Yunnan and Burma, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak into Guangxi from southern Yunnan. However, due to the tight inspection of Wu Jun, Le Tongwu was unable to pass the checkpoint for a long time, and spent more than ten days outside the border. When he was in a hurry, Wu Jun, who was at the opposite checkpoint, suddenly sent someone out to find the Ming army.

Lin Tianqing and Yuan Kuoyu, the former governor of Pianyuan in the Qing Dynasty and the current cabinet scholar of the Ming Dingwu court, were both disciples of Hong Chengchou.

Compared with Lin Tianqing, Yuan Kuoyu's official career is worse, because Lin Tianqing served as governor of Huguang as early as the tenth year of Shunzhi, while Yuan Kuoyu did not serve as governor of Pianyuan until the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, under the guidance of his teacher Hong Chengchou. It is a pity that Lin Tianqing committed an accident in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, and was demoted to five ranks by the Qing court, and Zhang Changgeng took over as the governor of Huguang. Until the Manchu Qing army invaded Yunnan in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, Hong Chengchou was able to re-sponsor Lin Tianqing to the Qing court as the governor of Yunnan. At that time, this appointment was rejected by Duny, and it was Hong Chengchou who repeatedly tried to fight for each other, and Wu Sangui also guaranteed it.

Because of the teacher's great support, Lin Tianqing was naturally grateful to the teacher. Hong Chengchou followed Wu Sangui against the Qing, and he followed suit. After Wu Sangui led the main force north to Sichuan and Shaanxi, he left Hong Chengchou to take charge of the rear in Guiyang. Lin Tianqing and Guizhou governor Zhang Guozhu were assisting Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was very wary of Li Dingguo outside the borders before his death, and believed that the King Jin of Daming, whose prestige was far higher than Wu Sangui, would never be allowed to return to his country, otherwise, there would inevitably be another internal conflict between Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo. Even if the two sides can't fight, the former Daxi Army generals who were recruited by Wu Sangui's subordinates will probably be shaken one by one, and will no longer listen to Wu Sangui's orders honestly. That is to say, even if Li Dingguo does nothing after returning, his existence is a great threat to the hundreds of thousands of troops that Wu Sangui finally recruited.

But since Wu Sangui has played the banner of Fuming, it is also unreasonable to fight against Li Dingguo, so the best way is to block Li Dingguo out of sight and not bother. Although some subordinate generals of the Great Western Army still thought of King Li Jin's goodness in their hearts, they could only press this old feeling in their hearts, so as not to give birth to Wu Sangui's eccentricity. In this way, when the overall situation in the north is finalized, even if Li Dingguo returns to China, it is absolutely impossible to overtake Wu Sangui, who has the ability to expel Manchu, restore the Central Plains, recover the old capital, and has the Son of Heaven in hand.

There is still a fake emperor in the south of the Yangtze River who can't be a thief, and only Li Dingguo, who has thousands of remnants.

It's just that no one could have imagined that, full of ambition, he wanted to create a world for his titular student, so that in the future, he could completely wash away the notorious Hong Chengchou who had been a "traitor", but when Wu Sangui's army came under the city of Xi'an " Bow down."

Hong Chengchou's death disrupted Wu Sangui's deployment, disturbed Wu Sangui's heart, and also made Lin Tianqing, who was determined to help his teacher, panic. Fortunately, Wu Sangui's side progressed smoothly. Although it was delayed for a while in Tongguan, he finally succeeded in winning Tongguan and entering the Central Plains. If there were no accidents, Hong Chengchou's plan for Wu Sangui's advanced Beijing and Beijing should be successful. He, the student, can also continue to recover the unfinished business of the teacher.

After Hong Chengchou's death, Wu Sangui asked Wang Xuan, the envoy of Xuanfu in southern Yunnan to preside over the affairs of the southwest. This Wang Xuan was originally an official of Yongli Dynasty. An official who escaped from the Yongli Dynasty in Shaoyuan. Even Fang Yuxuan and Ren Zhuan, who originally supported Sun Kewang, came out of their respective hiding places to serve Wu Sangui.

However, although Wu Sangui asked Wang Xuan to preside over the government affairs of the southwest, in fact Wang Xuan could not manage the specific affairs, and just put on a false name. The important military and political affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou are still in charge of Lin Tianqing and Zhang Guozhu. Wang Xuan also knew that he was the same as the emperor in the Guiyang palace, but he was just a puppet, a display for people to see, so he didn't have any desire to fight for power and profit.

On the Guizhou side, Zhang Guozhu was mainly in charge. On the Yunnan side, Lin Tianqing could govern, but he could not manage the army. Therefore, the surveillance and interception of Li Dingguo’s Ministry was mainly responsible for the Kunming commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan.

Zhang Dayuan, like Wang Fuchen back then, was a bodyguard given to Hong Chengchou by Emperor Shunzhi, but now Wang Fuchen, a horse scorpion, has turned to the new owner. He said that this Ma Yazi was his number one general on horseback, the former Changshan Zhao Zilong.

He was also a guard, and in terms of martial arts, Zhang Dayuan was not weaker than Wang Fuchen, so he disapproved of what the thief Xiucai said in Jiangnan. I always feel that I really want to compare who is the number one general right away. Zhang Dayuan may not necessarily lose to Wang Fuchen. It's just that he is in Kunming and Wang Fuchen is in Jiangnan.

It's just that Zhang Dayuan never thought that although he could not compete with Wang Fuchen who was far away in Jiangnan, he was about to compete with other generals of the Taiping Army who had invaded Guizhou.

Guiyang fell, Wu Sanfu and Zhang Guozhu took Zhu Youlang and fled to Sichuan. The passage between Yunnan and Guizhou was immediately blocked by a town of Taiping Army, and then another town of Taiping Army and no less than 10,000 people. The soldiers rushed over and immediately blocked the road of 30,000 Wu troops from Yunnan out of Yunnan.

Yunnan is now completely isolated from the news in the north, and no one knows what happened.

Out of the mentality of "protecting the car", Wang Xuan, the envoy of Xuanfu in southern Yunnan, strongly urged Lin Tianqing to go north and recover Guiyang. Lin Tianqing didn't know if he could fight, so he asked Zhang Dayuan what he meant, but Zhang Dayuan said he couldn't, because the Taiping army's defense line was too strong, and there were many firearms and artillery. I'm afraid it won't be long before it will be exhausted.

Zhang Dayuan was the chief soldier of Kunming and the general who actually led the army. He said that he could not fight, but Lin Tianqing would not force him to fight hard. He can only hope that Wu Sangui will send a large army to come back as soon as he knows the news. In this way, the Wu army in Yunnan and the Wu army from Sichuan will attack each other, and the Taiping army who first entered Guizhou will not have a firm foothold and will retreat.

One or two days passed, and half a month passed, and Lin Tianqing had not received any good news from the front line. On the 23rd day, a meticulous sent out risked a near-death before sending the information back.

Zhu Youlang died, Tan Hong, Ta Xince and others defected. Sichuan Governor Gao Min retreated to Chongqing. Admiral Gao Qilong, who came from Xi'an, also retreated to Baoning. Several key points in eastern and southern Sichuan were successively reconciled by the Taiping Army. It was occupied by soldiers and horses of Feng Shuangli, King of Qingyang in Ming Dynasty.

The news of Zhu Youlang's death made Lin Tianqing not come back to his senses for a long time. When he woke up, he was not thinking of Yongli's death, Wu Sangui and the others lost the name of Fuming, but thought that Wu Sangui would not be able to send troops into Yunnan anymore. Rescue Yunnan.

As Lin Tianqing, after knowing that Zhu Youlang was dead, the only thing he could do was to recklessly fight to the north, even if there was no emperor in hand, he would take Beijing. Otherwise, it will be a dilemma, and in the end, the military will dissipate and become a mess of sand.

Wu Sangui could not come to save Yunnan, Yunnan could only save itself. Although the Taiping Army blocked several key routes from Guizhou to Yunnan, it was not easy for them to invade Yunnan.

Lin Tianqing's governance in Yunnan in the past two years has been quite effective, and the appeasement of the chieftains in various places is also very fruitful. As long as the chieftains do not rebel, he is still confident that he can stick to it for more than half a year or even a year. As long as the battle in the north is decided and Wu Sangui is in charge of Beijing, then his efforts will be worth it.

After learning of Yongli's death, Wang Xuan, the envoy of Xuanfu in southern Yunnan, was disheartened and locked himself in the mansion, not even going to the yamen. Lin Tianqing ignored him, and told Zhang Dayuan and other generals about his plan to stick to it. As a result, Lin Tianqing found that Zhang Dayuan did not seem to have much confidence in fighting the Taiping Army, or that Zhang Dayuan might not have planned to fight the Taiping Army at all.

Zhang Dayuan's abnormal attitude made Lin Tianqing very surprised. It must be known that this person is his teacher Hong Chengchou's cronies. His teacher's last confession before his death was also told to Zhang Dayuan. , Zhang Dayuan was vague and refused to disclose.

For both public and private, Zhang Dayuan could not have the idea of ​​surrendering to the Taiping Army, but the fact is that this person did not support Lin Tianqing's claim. And because Zhang Dayuan holds the elite of the Yunnan defenders, if he is passive or has a heart against the water, Lin Tianqing sticks to Yunnan, expects the north to change, and his plan to win life is very ridiculous.

For several days, Lin Tianqing either directly questioned him directly, or asked others to attack him, trying to understand Zhang Dayuan's true thoughts, but he found nothing. Things soon went to the side that Lin Tianqing didn't want to see. Except for the thousands of elites in Zhang Dayuan's hands, the Wu army in Yunnan was adapted from the original Ming army, so I knew that Guizhou was occupied by the Taiping army, which was also the Ming army. Later, some generals inevitably had other thoughts.

Lin Tianqing finally felt the helplessness and distress of his teacher during the battle of Songshan, because his generals did not listen to him at all. After receiving a secret report that unidentified people had come in and out of Zhang Dayuan's camp recently, Lin Tianqing resolutely gritted his teeth and made the first move.

This "start first" is not because Lin Tianqing has the courage to solve Zhang Dayuan, but he thinks, but he does not have the strength. What he thought of "starting first" was to take the lead in expressing goodwill to the Taiping Army, so that the other party would not take the initiative to attack Yunnan. As long as the Taiping Army can't afford to attack, these generals in Yunnan who are willing to go over have to think about it.

Surrender is also a skill. There is no enemy in this world who will bow his **** and kowtow before he starts.

Surrender also has to be on point.

Lin Tianqing did not directly send people to contact the Taiping Army. He thought of a very feasible solution. Didn't the Taiping Army in Guizhou use the banner of welcoming Li Dingguo back to the border, then he became a beauty, brought King Li Jin back, and then sent him to Guizhou politely.

Le Tongwu, who was unaware of the situation at home and abroad, was quickly found by Lin Tianqing's people, and he was respectfully brought to Kunming. Lin Tianqing personally hosted a banquet for Le Tongwu, and was full of praise for King Li Jin, King Gongchang, etc., and also praised Le Tongwu.

Le Tongwu was not a three-year-old child either. Lin Tianqing made them suffer a lot, but his expression changed. Something must have happened to make this Yunnan governor so humble. Immediately put down the wine bowls and asked Lin Tianqing to explain the words without any detours.

Seeing this, Lin Tianqing didn't pretend, he thought for a moment, and told Le Tongwu about the birth in Guizhou. Le Tongwu was overjoyed when he heard that Zhou Shixiang's Taiping army had invaded Guizhou and wanted to take His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness Gongchang back to the country. Later, he was shocked by the news of Emperor Yongli's death for a long time and was speechless.

Under Lin Tianqing's arrangement, Le Tongwu and his family were secretly sent to Guiyang. Shao Jiugong, who had just arrived from Guangxi to Guiyang to preside over the overall situation, personally received Le Tongwu, and then dispatched eight hundred li to urgently deliver the news of King Jin to Jinxia.

"King Li Jin, King Gongchang, and the soldiers under their command are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, and they are the heroes of our Han people. When I was a Confucian scholar in Xinhui in the early years, the names of the two princes made me feel like thunder. There is a saying that if you don't know King Li Jin in your life, even being a hero is in vain. This commander has been in the army for several years, and he should be a hero in the eyes of others, but I haven't seen King Li Jin in a day. "

Zhou Shixiang said here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ suddenly sighed at Yao Wenlong, the guard beside him: "You know, some of those who survived the new club thought that if it wasn't for King Li Jin, their relatives would not be They will be captured and killed by the Qing army. But is this really the case, do you and I, the surviving people, really want to blame King Li Jin?"

"Of course I don't blame King Li Jin. When King Jin withdrew his troops, the food in the city could last for three months." Yao Wenlong's face was expressionless, his eyes were extremely cold, but his nostrils were slightly enlarged.

"Some people just can't tell who is the culprit, they just don't understand, if the Tartars had not invaded Guangdong, occupied the world of our Han family, and killed my people of the Han family, how could King Li Jin and the others raise troops to resist? .. Fighting always kills people. Instead of blaming the culprit who enslaved us, we should blame our heroes instead of resisting. Just like them, be obedient to the people and be the bulls and horses of the Tartars, so that their relatives don't have to die. This truth is always unreasonable.”

Zhou Shixiang turned his head in pain, and his voice became very cold.

"Later, I heard what someone in Guangzhou said about Xinhui's daughter Xiang, and I heard that Li Suotai was also going to ask the Qing court for a reward for those of us who survived the Xinhui, and he wanted to erect a tablet for us."

Yao Wenlong still didn't say anything, but his eyes were extremely red. His daughter is also very fragrant, six years old.

Zhou Shixiang stood up and stopped talking about the most hated and painful thing in his heart. He patted his greasy hand and instructed Xu Yingyuan: "Tell Shao Jiugong to pass the word to Le Tongwu, and ask General Le to tell King Jin and His Royal Highness Gong, Our Taiping Army will do everything in our power to resolve Yunnan, and once Yunnan is resolved, I will invite the King of Jin and His Royal Highness Gong to return to the country. In the future, the King of Jin and His Highness Gong will be required to assist in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.”8
