On the ancient Sichuan-Guizhou Road, Xia Wanchun led the Hunan soldiers back to Huguang.

This western expedition took half a year to clean up the entire Sichuan area, and the warlords and soldiers were wiped out. Jiannu rushed back to Hanzhong. Except for Zhang Zongfan in Xiezhou, Sichuan and Sichuan had no enemies.

Yang Zhan recruited troops to defend himself, which was enough to defend Sichuan. The grain and new crops from Jiangnan and foreign people were introduced. I believe that Sichuan's livelihoods will gradually recover.

The country of Tianfu, which is fertile for thousands of miles, is gradually regaining its vitality and will become a powerful arm at that time.

Xia Wanchun received the order to lead troops around Yunnan and divide troops from Huguang. Some of them stayed in Xiangxi to follow Peng Zhuze, who was in a revolution. The other part went south to Guangdong, supported Ding Kuichu, took Zhaoqing, and wiped out the Yongli court.

There is no day, and there is no two kings in the country. Before the new emperor was born, the throne was empty. Zhu Youlang's long-term proclaimed emperor had a great impact on people's morale. Only by capturing him back to the court can people's hearts be stabilized and avoid more people's ambitions.

When the Hunan Army left Zunyi, Guizhou, they immediately felt the shock from the southwest territory. The chieftain system that had lasted for thousands of years was suffering an unprecedented impact. This time, it was not from the outside world, but the natives themselves were in chaos. Peng Zhuze from Baojingzhou led his tribe to win over down-and-out local officials and marginal local officials, and soon attracted a group of restless loyalists. This method made the natives feel more secure. They no longer united to resist the entry of the Han people, but were ready to move.

Peng Zhuze’s biggest advantage is that he seems to have endless money, food, armor, weapons, and many people can equip him. Once, when he attacked a Tuzhai in Baojingzhou, Peng Zhuze moved out four cannons and knocked the wooden village into a sea of ​​fire. This thunder strike that exceeded his imagination made many local people surrender, and more and more people rushed to participate in Peng Zhuze’s team.

A long-lasting battle is underway among the vast hilly mountains in the southwest.

At this moment, the Xiang Barracks returned to Xiangxi, leaving 30,000 people in the city in Xiangxi, practicing day and night.

This was a silent threat, and Peng Zhuze became even more fearless, while the chieftains were timid and hurriedly sent people to Nanjing Jinling to ask about the court's meaning.

The rise of new forces was naturally accompanied by the collapse of the old forces. Peng Zhuze fought unanimously and took action against his chieftain masters. The chieftains in the southwest announced that they were irreconcilable with Peng Zhuze. However, no one dared to send troops to join the battle. Peng Hongshu, the 29th leader of the chieftain of the Xuanfu Department of Yongshun Prefecture, could hear the training of Hunan soldiers under the city in his chieftain's mansion. Finally, Peng Hongshu led the "Three Tutors, Six Chiefs, Fifty-Eight Banners, Three Hundred and Eighty Banners, Three Hundred and Eighty Banners and Picture Gallery to submit, and requested the court to change its territory and return to the land.

Hou Xuanyan rewarded a large amount of gold, silver and wealth, land and land, allowing them to move their family to settle in the wealthy Hangzhou, Jiangnan.

This was a thrill. The Peng family knew the current affairs so well. Yongshun was a big prefecture in western Hunan, but his other little chieftains still couldn't let go of the hereditary local emperor's life.

The Peng family in Yongshun surrendered, but the Peng family in Baojing refused to surrender, especially the head of the family Peng Zhuchao. He was originally a powerful general, and he would not tolerate his slaves' rebellion.

Just when the southwest was fighting, Xia Wanchun did not stay and continued to move south with a 100,000 army. As a result, the pressure of the southwest chieftain suddenly decreased.

In Guangzhou Prefecture, Guangdong, Zheng Cai is located in Huangshiji, Qingyuan, and guards the water.

Zheng Zhilong was not short of money, and his soldiers had good combat effectiveness. At the time of the severe drought in Fujian, ordinary people did survive by relying on sweet potatoes, but Zheng Zhilong's military rations were not sweet potatoes that could only fill their stomachs. The private soldiers of the Zheng family never owed food and salary, and their weapons, armor, firearms and cannons were the best in the contemporary era. Zheng Cai was full of confidence. Even if the Hunan soldiers could fight, they could still rely on the geographical advantage and artillery to defend Guangzhou Prefecture.

The Zheng family absolutely refused to give up Guangzhou Prefecture. Japan's trade routes were swallowed half, and its status here instantly increased. Merchant ships from many small countries in the Nanyang area could shorten the journey by more than half. Guangzhou Prefecture was in the hands of Ding Kuichu, and it was an ordinary remote prefecture. When it arrived at Zheng Zhilong, it instantly turned into a treasure pot, making gold every day. Zheng Zhilong prepared his troops and was not idle at all times. Not only did he recruit many new recruits, but he also promoted many generals in an extraordinary manner.

People like Li Chengdong and Shi Lang were not successful in Fujian, and were entrusted with important tasks and led their troops to garrison the local area.

Li Chengdong is a rare powerful general under the Zheng family who is known for his land war. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he would have been brave enough. If it weren't for Hou Xuan's sudden appearance, he would have fought to Fujian and killed Emperor Longwu.

Shi Lang followed Huang Daozhou and sent troops to attack Hou Xuanyan. Halfway through the way, because Huang Daozhou repeatedly refused to listen to his advice, Shi Lang decided that he would be defeated and might be killed, so he decisively ran away halfway. Sure enough, Huang Daozhou was easily defeated, his head was chopped off and sent back to Fuzhou.

Although these two people are not good at character, they are very good at fighting and are very decent in military management. Zheng Zhilong was forced to this point and did not care that they were not a direct lineman and boldly launched talents.

On the southeast coast, the Zheng family's trump card and powerful navy often appear in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although the Songjiang Navy is quite large, it dares not provoke disputes easily. After all, the Zheng family is famous and the navy's strength is not exaggerated.

--------

The southeast, northwest and northeast are surrounded by powerful enemies, and the smell of gunpowder is full of gunpowder.

In Jinling City, unlike in the past, Hou Xuanyan did not feel any tension.

After so many battles, he is no longer the Jiangsu and Zhejiang governor who loses all his money every step of the way. He can afford to fight and win, and the most important thing is to afford to lose. No one can eat Hou Xuanyan's power in one bite and give him a chance. Jiangnan's financial, material and manpower can make him regroup quickly.

He was determined to win Zheng Zhilong, but this time his goal was Zhaoqing Mansion. Although the Zheng family was ready for battle, Hou Xuanyan never thought that he would really start a war now. The Yongli court was his goal.

In June, war reports came from the front line, and the Hunan soldiers had arrived in Guangdong. The envoys of the southwest chieftains entered Beijing one after another, and were pushed around by various yamen. There was no one who had touched the threshold for the government.

In June, the weather gradually became hotter. At midnight, Hou Xuanyan got up lazily from the bed. Miao'er, who was full of spring, was beautiful, holding a mirror in his hand, raising water for washing hands, and serving with affection.

A personal soldier outside shouted loudly: "Master General, His Highness, sent someone to summon him to let the Master General enter the palace quickly."
