Chapter 376 Southwest Capital Division
In 1654, the army of beasts in Yunnan also freed up their hands to launch an attack on Guangxi. Although Wu Sangui has also arranged a lot of soldiers in Guangxi in the past two years, most of these soldiers have not participated in the battle, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Under the continuous attack of the Beast Legion, various cities in Guangxi have fallen one after another. Soon, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses in Guangxi contracted to Guilin and became deadlocked with the Pingbei Army in Guilin. On the other hand, the Kuilang Legion and Li Dingguo's Storm Legion occupied Jiangxi at lightning speed. I began to want to attack Fujian.
As for the Griffin Legion, it has begun to advance from Zhejiang to Fujian. Some remote cities in Fujian have surrendered one after another. When the Pingbei Army entered the city, the people in the city welcomed them one after another. Over the years, he has had enough of Wu Sangui's brutal rule. I don't know how many relatives have been forcibly captured as soldiers or killed on the way to escape. Or he was expropriated and became a prostitute in the past.
Wu Sangui is a big demon-like figure in the hearts of the people in these four provinces. Many people hate him. They hope that the Pingbei Army will come and sweep Wu Sangui quickly and rescue them out. As a result, many cities in the Pingbei army had not yet come. The people in the city and even the generals in the city rebelled, slaughtered the trusted officials sent by Wu Sangui, and opened the gate to surrender.
Wu Sangui felt the crisis, and it was only a matter of time before Fujian was completely occupied by the Pingbei Army. Although Wu Sangui now has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, only 100,000 soldiers and horses can fight. Most of the rest are distributed in various cities to stabilize his power, and it is a question whether it can be gathered at the first time. What's more, most of these 300,000 people were forcibly recruited. If they commented that the Pingbei Army would come, it would also be a question whether they would defect. Therefore, Wu Sangui began to disbelief the newly recruited soldiers.
As he gathered his former cronies, he sent the newly recruited soldiers out as cannon fodder to deplete the strength of the Union Army. On the one hand, he began to prepare for the escape route. He definitely can't go to the sea. He doesn't have the strength to transport so many of his people at once. After all, he is not Zheng Zhilong, and his navy doesn't have many ships.
So we can only rely on land. Where can we escape by land? It has become a problem that Wu Sangui is always concerned about these days. But obviously, there is not so much time for him. However, in two months, the Griffin Legion, the Kui Wolf Legion and the Storm Legion are about to surround Fuzhou. At this time, if Wu Sangui does not leave, he will be captured alive.
So that night, Wu Sangui sent 50,000 new recruits to harass the three legions, and he took 100,000 soldiers, horses, ministers and families to Guangdong. Finally, I entered Nanning. The 50,000 troops did not stop them for a long time. When the sun rose, the 50,000 troops had been wiped out, fled, scattered, the killed corpses were everywhere, and many were captured. More than 10,000 people took the initiative to surrender.
Soon, the Pingbei Army held a trial for the captured and surrendered Chu army, but in a few days, these soldiers who had been forcibly recruited into the army and had not committed crimes were released and unloaded to the field. Return home. If they are willing to stay in the army, they can take the letter of introduction to the nearest Fengyang New Barracks or Xinyang New Barracks to sign up.
The news that Wu Sangui fled to Nanning quickly spread to Luoyang. Liu Xia immediately instructed the three legions to continue to advance south and strive to completely eliminate Wu Sangui and calm the south. And established Wuchang New Barracks in Wuchang, Fuzhou New Barracks in Fujian, and Guiyang New Barracks in Guizhou. A new barracks in Kunming was established in Yunnan.
When the south was in full swing, the north was not idle. The Fire Phoenix Legion and the White Tiger Army advanced to the northeast, constantly compressing the scope of the Tatars, and the territory of Nuergandu Division was constantly recovered by the Pingbei Army. After the Manchus fled from the customs to the Nuergandu Division, they kept meeting with the Russians from the West, and the two fought from time to time. The loss of tariars is not small, and Russia also loses a lot. I don't know how Dorgom did it. Soon the two feuds of the two feuds actually united.
When Dorgon came out of Beijing, he took away a lot of precious items, especially gold and silver. So the tars paid a lot of money to the Russians, and the Russians fought for them. Soon, hundreds of Russian mercenaries were established.
And the next day, a battalion-level camp of the Pingbei Army was attacked. As a result, half of the soldiers of a battalion died. Zhang Yuan immediately got the news and ordered a large-scale sweep. The muskets used by the Russians are not as advanced as those used by the Pingbei Army, so Zhang Yuan is confident that he will eliminate those barbarians who do not know where they come from.
Three days later, a team of the Pingbei Army encountered more than 50 Russian mercenaries, so there was a fierce battle between the two. Finally, the Pingbei Army relied on advanced weapons to defeat, and the Russian mercenaries of more than 50 people were completely annihilated.
At this point, the Russians began to realize that the Pingbei Army was not simple, and many people were thinking about whether to help the people desperately worth it. At the same time, when the two legions continued to advance to the depths of the Nuergandu, they also hit the interests of the Russians, and a large number of castles built by the Russians were occupied or blown up.
There were not too many Russians in the Far East, and they began to send people back to the west to ask the Tsar for help. When Dorgon learned the news, he immediately sent people to follow him, and with a large number of gifts, he wanted to make friends with the Tsar and deal with the Pingbei Army. And Dorgom even married the princess of the royal family to a Russian thief leader from the Far East.
The leader of the Russian thief was very happy. He had never thought of getting such a beautiful princess, so he was still interested after playing with it all night. But when the first ray of sunlight came in in the morning and woke him up, he found that the Tatar princess had been tortured to death.
The princess is the daughter of the emperor. Although this princess is not a direct line, she is also a decent princess. She was tortured to death. Those Tarot nobles who were deeply influenced by the Han people also had no face. Many people admonished Dorgon to severely punish the murderer.
The Russian thief was not willing to show weakness. He immediately gathered dozens of his brothers, pulled out his musket and said to Dorcon, "As long as you dare to touch me, I will dare to kill you people." Although his words are a little arrogant, it is undeniable that he can kill some nobles. So for the sake of the overall situation, Dorgo can only swallow his anger.
A few months later, the Russian rescuers who set out from Nuergandusi and the messengers of the Taran sent to the past were captured by a scout team of the Green Dragon Army in the Mobei grassland, and learned from their mouths that they were going to ask for reinforcements. This made Wang Shitou and Zhang Liang realize that the matter was not simple, so they sent someone to tell Liu Xia in Luoyang quickly.
After Liu Xia learned about it, she sent someone to Russia to check the local situation. Thinking about the place where Napoleon can't even take it, Russia.
In the winter of 1654, the south was still a little warm, and Wu Sangui of Nanning could no longer support the joint attack of the four major legions. In the end, Nanning City was broken. However, Wu Sangui was still not caught.
Wu Sangui's 100,000 army is now less than 50,000. They went straight to Vietnam. Vietnam was also China's territory, at least during the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Ma Peng decided to start marching into Vietnam and hunt down Wu Sangui according to the principle that Liu Xia can't lose an inch of land. Since Wu Sangui retreated to Vietnam, Liu Xia issued a message from Luoyang to let the Beast Legion return to Sichuan and Yunnan, and was divided into two. The original 50,000 Beast Legion was divided into two legions of 25,000 people. One still uses the title of Beast Legion, the other uses the title of Beast Legion, and Li Dingguo uses more than 20,000. People also returned to the southern part of Huguang, Guizhou.
Liu Xia established the Southwest Capital Division, which is responsible for the defense of Yunnan and the occupied part of Myanmar, Guizhou, Sichuan and Wusizang. Now Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have been recovered, and Wu Sizang, that is, Tibet, has not been fully controlled.
So Liu Xia began to let the soldiers of the Southwest Capital exercise to adapt to the plateau climate
