Chapter 63: Long Er stabs in the back and the Qing Dynasty is destroyed
Geng Jingzhong is very gratifying, but these two men are far inferior to Wu Sangui. Together, they only have a hundred thousand troops, and they are weak in battle. Under the pressure of Qin Ran's army, they will be defeated at the slightest contact.
Within half a month, Guangdong and Fujian provinces were also recovered one after another.
Among them, Geng Jingzhong died in the rebellion, while Shang Kexi fled overseas with his family.
With the momentum of great victory, Qin Ran's army divided into two groups and passed through Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces along the way.
The officials in these places were also happy for the arrival of the counter-rebellion troops, and they paid for them and welcomed them with food and drink.
However, he never thought that after Qin Ran received the supplies from the local capital, he immediately turned his back and led an army to occupy all the major cities in his path.
Due to his surprise, Qin Ran occupied the entire three provinces almost without a fight and blocked all routes to the north.
At this point, half of the land of China belongs to Qin Ran.
Officials in various places, based on local popularity and the judgment of the Heaven and Earth Society, promote some grassroots Han officials who have real talents and hard work and love the people as their own children. Those who abuse their official positions will be punished and jailed, and their homes will be confiscated to subsidize the military.
.
After half a month of reorganization, Qin Ran immediately led his army northward and captured Ah, Jiangsu and other places effortlessly.
It was only then that the fall of the southern provinces spread throughout the north.
When a vassal king like Wu Sangui rebelled, a counter-rebellion army went to suppress it.
But now, the counter-rebellion army has actually rebelled! How can we suppress this?!
When Qin Ran mobilized his troops and raised supplies, he not only transferred a large amount of wartime supplies and food, but also deliberately brought out all the muskets and red cannons in the Qing Dynasty's arsenal.
It also caused the Qing army to lose the red cannon, a weapon that could be used to defend the city.
The army was divided into two groups, singing loudly and pushing forward. Even if the Qing army wanted to stop the resistance, it was no match for Qin Ran's army.
The Qing army defended the city, and then attacked the city with red cannons. After several rounds of shelling, not to mention the city gates, the city walls collapsed.
It would be better if the cavalry went out of the city to fight, and they could be lined up with flintlocks and shot to teach them a new life.
For a time, all the northern provinces turned their attention to the capital, hoping that the capital could provide a unified dispatch and response plan.
Subsequently, the capital issued an order to mobilize the elites from the northern provinces and the Eight Banners disciples, and once again assembled an army of 120,000 to confront Qin Ran at the junction of Shandong and Hebei.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager issued another edict, saying that this was the most serious rebellion the Qing Dynasty had faced since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Empress Dowager decided to take the twelve-year-old emperor Long Xi with her to lead the expedition in person.
Subsequently, the Empress Dowager and the 30,000 garrison troops from the capital also marched to the front line. A total of 150,000 troops went to war with Qin Ran's army. This was the last secret of the Qing Dynasty.
As the battle was about to break out, the two sides came together in a melee.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was still very strong. Half of the 150,000 troops were elite cavalry composed of frontier troops and disciples of the Eight Banners. This was also the last team of the Qing Dynasty.
Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager, who now controlled the court and commanded the military, was also Qin Ran's woman.
Qin Ran knew about the Qing army's troop mobilization, food and supplies, etc. even earlier than some Qing army officers.
Therefore, Qin Ran's deployment of troops was just enough to restrain the Qing army's deployment of troops. As soon as the two sides fought, the Qing cavalry ran into the fusiliers and suffered heavy losses immediately.
This was not the most deadly thing. When the battle between the two sides was at its most intense, the emperor's personal soldiers, who were firmly guarded at the rear, actually backstabbed the Qing army in front!
Under attack from both sides, the Qing army collapsed in an instant that they had never dreamed of. At this time, they no longer knew why they were fighting.
Qin Ran had already taken advantage of the greater number of troops in his hands to launch a comprehensive encirclement of the Qing army.
In the end, the Qing army killed more than 20,000 people, captured more than 90,000 people, and captured countless horses and weapons.
After this battle, the northern provinces no longer had the power to resist.
At this time, anyone can see that the general trend of the world has reached Qin Ran.
The Han people in the north, who had been suffering from the Tatars for a long time, responded one after another. When Qin Ran's army passed by, the people all ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's army.
The northern provinces can be said to be determined by propaganda.
In just three months, the world was in Qin Ran's hands.
The remaining Eight Banners disciples died and were captured. The remaining few were unable to recover and had to retreat outside Shanhaiguan in an attempt to return to the land of Longxing and make a comeback.
But Qin Ran was not willing to give him this opportunity. It was no longer the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty, and the land outside Shanhaiguan was no longer bitter and cold, but the most fertile black soil suitable for growing crops.
He directly ordered the one-armed god nun to lead an army of 50,000 to pursue him all the way, driving him completely out of the easy-to-live Far East and into the bitter cold Siberia.
After driving away the Tatars, Qin Ran began to rectify the country.
During this period, the current situation was turbulent, and many anti-Qing forces appeared in various places.
Some were sincerely anti-Qing with national interests, while others were trying to make profits under the guise of anti-Qing.
For the former, Qin Ran mainly focused on recruiting them, while for the latter, he didn't say anything and just killed them without mercy.
Of course, there is no need for Qin Ran to do his best in these matters. With an order, countless subordinates will naturally be willing to serve him.
Qin Ran, who had been busy for half a year, finally had time to rest.
capital, imperial palace,
Qin Ran walked with Long Er in the palace courtyard. At this time, Long Er had returned to his original appearance.
Qin Ran looked at some familiar scenes everywhere and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He remembered that he pretended to be a young eunuch and lurked in the palace. Although he followed the plot and gained a lot of benefits, he also lived in fear every day, fearing that Hai Dafu, Ao
Bai and others did not follow the script and suddenly killed him.
When he came back this time, he had become the master of this place.
"Long'er, after I left, you have been supporting me alone in the capital. I've suffered so much!" Qin Ran put his arms around Long'er's slender waist and said apologetically.
Long Er shook his head, "I am well-dressed and well-fed here, in a high position, and protected by an army of 60,000 men left by my husband. It is not hard. Husband, you should go and comfort that girl Jianning. She is crying day and night now."
, too haggard to look like."
"Alas!" Qin Ran sighed. After the world was settled, Ah Ke's sons and daughters stayed with him day and night, but he did not go to see Jian Ning.
Although Jianning was a princess of the Qing Dynasty and had a somewhat naughty temperament, ever since she followed him, her whole heart had been devoted to him and she had not done anything to feel sorry for him.
Now that the Qing court was completely destroyed in his hands, Qin Ran didn't know how to face Jianning.
However, there is no way to hide from this kind of thing, and you will have to face it eventually.
After talking about love for a while, Long Er went to the Imperial Study Room to handle government affairs, while Qin Ran headed to Jianning's palace.
