Chapter 369 Break through Guiyang
When Li Wen, Wang Shitou and Zhang Liang entered Beijing with their guards, the Forbidden City had become a sea of fire. The newly built Taihe Hall in Dorgoon has been burned with only the skeleton.
The city is in chaos, and there are people fleeing in a hurry. Among them, are there any Tatari people who have time to leave, traitors in the Green Camp, and many clothed people and Han officials.
Li Wen immediately ordered that the organization began to put out the fire in the Forbidden City. At the same time, he also sent a brigade to investigate the people in the city and sent 5,000 people to chase Dorcon.
In just two hours, the originally chaotic Beijing city has been restored to order. At the same time, 200 people have been arrested, as well as more than 3,000 identified traitors. According to Liu Xia's request, some traitors and lackeys who are already corrupt in nature will be resolutely eliminated. We can't leave it behind and continue to harm the people. So under the order of Wang Stone, the more than 3,000 traitors and more than 200 thirties were all beheaded.
Tens of thousands of people were rescued, and the people who were originally tied to the tower by Dornon were secretly executed. As for the first batch of more than 1,000 people who blocked the gap, after so many days, most of them were starved to death, or their extremely weak bodies were not far from death.
When the city of Beijing was broken, it soon spread to the Luoyang newspaper, so Luoyang's [Imperial Newspaper] soon published the good news about the capture of Beijing city, and at the same time, the soldiers actively rescued the besieged people.
At the same time, an article [resolutely support His Royal Highness King Zheng] was also published. Only a few hours after the publication of the newspaper in [Imperial Newspaper], dozens of other newspapers reprinted the news, and suddenly the direction of public opinion was completely controlled. The streets and alleys are talking about the good news of the Pingbei army's occupation of Beijing.
When the fire in the Forbidden City of Beijing had not been extinguished, trouble broke out again in the south.
Wu Sangui learned that his old nest Wuchang Mansion was about to be served by the Kuilang Legion, and immediately rushed back with the soldiers and horses.
Wu Sangui never understood that although the number of his sailors was not large, the Kuilang Legion opposite did not have any sailors at all. Why did his sailors let the Kuilang Legion cross the Yangtze River? Wu Sangui was furious. He vowed to behead the general of the navy when he returned to Wuchang.
Ma Peng, the commander of the Kuilang Legion, is now guilty and meritorious. In order to stand firm on the south bank of the Yangtze River, he gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Kuilang Legion to Hanyang Mansion. Wuchang Mansion is not far from Hanyang Mansion. Now as long as Ma Peng orders, tens of thousands of soldiers will quickly rush to Wuchang.
"There must be no problem at this critical moment. Taking Wuchang is an explanation for the prince. It can also be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world. To be honest, in fact, Ma Peng is so eager to want those Wuchang because of the psychology of comparison.
He has got the news that Beijing City is the base camp of the turts. The city is strong and has many enemies. It's very difficult to get some. But Wang Shitou and Zhang Liang have now taken Beijing. Similarly, this Wuchang Mansion is also the political center of the pseudo-Chu army. Once Wuchang is taken, it is of extraordinary significance. Although it cannot be compared with taking Beijing, it is also very symbolic. At least it shows that Liu Xia has the ability to destroy the second largest regime besides the salams.
At the same time, he is no longer carrying the hat of a temporary commander, and the official's reinstatement is certain.
"General, wait to report. A large number of soldiers and horses were found in the southwest, with a number of about 50,000.
A personal guard hurriedly ran to Ma Peng and knelt down.
Ma Peng frowned and muttered, "Five thousand people? Is it possible that Wu Sangui will come? It seems that the guess is right. Wu Sangui will definitely come back when he learns that Wuchang has been attacked. It's just right to come back. Let you taste the bomb today. In fact, Ma Peng had guessed that Wu Sangui would definitely come before. After all, after besieging Wuchang Mansion, it is impossible for Wu Sangui not to come back. So Ma Peng buried a lot of landmines on the way to serve Wu Sangui.
Liu Xia used it when he fought against Kong Youde in Guide Mansion, but because the power of landmines is not great, it can't kill too many people. Therefore, Liu Xia was rarely used in the next war. Most of them use steel cannons.
But this time, Wu Sangui has a large number of soldiers and horses, and his Kui Wolf Legion is full of more than 20,000 people, which is 30,000 less than Wu Sangui's people. The situation is not optimistic, so Ma Peng thought of this plan.
"Bear by the way, let you contact Li Dingguo. Have you contacted?" Ma Peng said to the guard next to him. Ma Peng now doesn't know that Li Dingguo has surrendered to Liu Xia. In order to resist Wu Sangui, he wants Li Dingguo to contain him.
The guard said with a bitter look on his face, "I'll report to the general. There is no news yet. Wait a minute. Let's go down and ask." After saying that, he said goodbye and hurried down.
The Griffin Legion, which is also on the southern front, has now arrived in Nanjing. Compared with the Kui Wolf Legion in Wuchang, their situation is much better. Wu Sangui's main forces are concentrated in Wuchang and Guiyang, and there is basically no one in Nanjing. Therefore, under the leadership of its commander Jiang Xin, the Griffin Army directly occupied Nanjing and began to increase its attack.
Not long after Wu Sangui left Guiyang, Li Dingguo launched a general attack on Guiyang without Wu Sangui and his 50,000 troops guarding Guiyang. It can't resist Li Dingguo's attack at all. Soon the city of Guiyang was destroyed and Ma Bao was captured. Sun Kewang fled and headed for Wuchang.
Li Dingguo's takeover of Guiyang basically means that Guizhou has basically fallen into the hands of the Pingbei Army. In addition to Li Gu from Yunnan, except for Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangxi, all other places have been recovered by Liu Xia.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian began to be unable to sit still. When he saw the victory of Liu Xia Festival, he thought that Wu Sangui's main force had basically been eliminated by Liu Xia, so he started the emperor he supported, Emperor Longwu sent troops to attack Wu Sangui.
Except for Zheng Zhilong, the status of Emperor Longwu was basically not recognized by other forces, at least Liu Xia did not recognize it. Emperor Longwu can be regarded as Zheng Zhilong's puppet. All military and political power is held in Zheng Zhilong's hands. Now that Zheng Zhilong wants to take advantage of the fire and report to Emperor Longwu that it is simply a formality. Whether Emperor Longwu agrees or not, the result is the same.
Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong is a famous navy general, and his navy is at least the best in China. Liu Xia's navy can't resist Zheng Zhilong at all now. But when it comes to the army, I don't know how far Zheng Zhilong is compared with Liu Xia's Pingbei Army.
As soon as Wu Sangui arrived in Wuchang, a scout told him that Zheng Zhilong of Fujian attacked Jiangxi, and Jiangxi was in an emergency!
At the same time, the news of the destruction of Guiyang City also came. Suddenly, Wu Sangui's eyes were black and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the guard next to him held it.
"Li Dingguo! Zheng Zhilong!" After Wu Sangui calmed down, he gritted his teeth and said two names.
After fighting with Li Dingguo for such a long time, Wu Sangui's natural way Li Dingguo is not easy to fight, but Zheng Zhilong is different. Now on land, Wu Sangui doesn't care about Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet at all.
"I can't destroy Liu Xia, I can't destroy Li Dingguo, it doesn't mean I can't destroy you, Zheng Zhilong!"
Since Wu Sangui returned to Wuchang Mansion, the Nakui Wolf Legion has been retreating steadily. Ma Peng is not Wu Sangui's opponent at all. Moreover, compared with Wu Sangui's 50,000 soldiers and horses, the Kuilang Legion is relatively small.
"General, we have contacted the Griffin Legion, and now the Griffin Legion has begun to come to Wuchang."
This is the best news that Ma Peng has heard these days. Finally, there are reinforcements. Ma Peng can't help but be relieved. If there were no reinforcements, he really doubted whether his Kui Wolf Legion could resist Wu Sangui's fierce attack.
"Told to the general that Li Dingguo from Guiyang sent the news that he led his troops to Wuchang to help the general defeat Wu Sangui!"
Ma Peng's face suddenly showed joy when he heard it. This is really good news. Ma Peng's face showed a long-lost smile.
"Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui, I'd like to see if you have three heads and six arms that can resist our three groups of people."
In the Chu army camp not far away, when Wu Sangui learned that the Griffin Legion and Li Dingguo were coming to him, he was angry again, but he was not an ordinary person after all. The three soldiers and horses add up to almost 60,000. Moreover, Li Dingguo's command ability cannot be underestimated. Wu Sangui is not confident that he can be safe and sound under the combination of the three parties.
