Chapter 555

"General Gao!" Wang Yongqiang turned to Gao Wencai and handed over his hand, "Wang wants to ask General Gao to take care of him. Please ask General Gao to bring his Qingqi to escort Wang Yushi back to Yan'an.

When I arrived in Yan'an, I met my brother Yongzhen and told him that from now on he would all obey the command of Wang Yushi. If we can defeat him, we will defend. If we can't defeat him, we will abandon the city and guerrilla. If it doesn't work, we will go to Longyou. There are brothers' troops there.

.

The rebel armies in Shanxi have been defeated, Jiang Yu in Datong can't hold on much longer, and northern Shaanxi is also hard to defend alone, so we might as well find a way to go to Longyou via Ningxia."

Wang Jiaqin shook his head.

"I am a patrol officer and a supervisor of the army. How can I abandon the army and run away in the face of battle? Even if I die in battle, I will still be in the army."

Wang Yongqiang looked at Gao Wencai and said, "I must protect Wang Xiucai. Go ahead. I will try my best to hold Wu Sangui back and bring our children with me. He is our queen and our hope. We people from northern Shaanxi are fooling around."

After fighting for so many years, this time, we must make it clear that we are fighting to defend our country and our country, and to protect Chinese civilization!"

"Keep more of our disciples alive. I hope there will be peace in the future and they can see a stable northern Shaanxi."

After Wang Yongqiang finished speaking, he took off a wine bag from the saddle, which contained kumiss.

He took a deep drink and raised his spear.

"Fight!"

Even facing the world-famous Guan Ningjun and Wu Sangui, he aroused his fighting spirit.

Gao Wencai's chest rose and fell, and he wanted to say many things, but finally swallowed them all.

This is not the time to push and argue.

"Walk!"

"I do not go!"

"I am the supervisory censor of Shanxi appointed by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am the military commander of the imperial court. I am the supervisor of the rebel army in northern Shaanxi. I won't leave!" Wang Jiaqin was very stubborn, just like when they openly called for rebellion against the Qing Dynasty in Ningbo.

Gawain couldn't resist, so he slashed the back of his neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

"Come with me from the disciple camp!"

Gao Wencai called up his cavalry battalion. Several old comrades who had been in the frontier army came forward with complicated expressions. The rebel generals who had been sent to the camp formed by Wang Jiaqin were also handed over to Gao by Wang Yongqiang.

Take the talented people with you.

This disciple camp was originally regarded as half a hostage and also served as a guard for the emperor's imperial envoys, but Wang Jiaqin treated them very well and transformed the camp into a teaching camp, training them just like the imperial camp training outstanding officers.

"Go for it!"

Gao Wencai gave Wang Yong a forced salute. He was once a defeated general and a bandit, but now he truly admired him. If he stayed, he would die, but Wang Yongqiang still chose to stay.

Horse hooves are like thunder.

From far to near.

Guan Ning's cavalry were wearing cotton armor, running like lightning, and coming like a tidal wave.

Wang Yongqiang raised his gun and rode past the formation, loudly boosting morale.

"Folks and brothers, today there is death and no life, but even if you die, you must die with determination."

"Swear not to surrender, kill!"

Facing Guan Ning's army, Wang Yongqiang rode his horse and rushed forward first.

After he rushed out more than ten steps single-handedly.

More than a hundred of his servants and cavalry also rushed forward.

The rebel front is wavering.

A man with his braids cut off and his head wrapped raised a flail, shouted, "Kill the Tatars!" and rushed out.

Nervous rebels, look at me and I look at you.

Then another young man rushed out holding an iron fork.

An old man followed behind holding a mulberry fork.

More and more people are facing death and rushing out screaming.

Some people began to turn around and run away, more and more, but some still chose to move forward.

Under the setting sun.

Wang Yongqiang took the lead and attacked Guan Ning's army without hesitation.

Behind him, more and more rebels followed.

But more rebels were fleeing.

Wang Yongqiang did not look back.

He shouted "kill" and rushed towards the Qing army's formation.

sunset.

The world is dark.

On the plain between Fuyang and Sanyuan County in Guanzhong, the Guanning Army, a powerful army that the Ming Dynasty once devoted all its efforts to build, was now holding the banner of the Tartars and facing the Guanzhong Rebels who were holding the anti-Qing banner.

A ruthless massacre unfolded.

Guan Ning rides and tramples him.

Wanton massacre.

Except for Gao Wencai, who led more than a thousand cavalry and carried Wang Jiaqin on his back, the tens of thousands of rebels evacuated. The rest, whether they fought bravely or fled in panic, were almost all annihilated.

Guan Ning's army massacred more than 10,000 rebels in the American plains, staining the plateau with blood, and all the remaining defeated soldiers were captured.

After Bayan and Zhang Tianfu detoured, they also captured the empty cities of Pucheng and Fuping in one fell swoop. Wu Sangui entered Pucheng triumphantly, but the remaining rebels in the city attacked him with a hidden artillery after he entered the city.

Wu Sangui was almost killed, his beloved mount was killed, and he was also injured.

The angry Wu Sangui ordered the massacre of Pucheng and the whole city.

More than 10,000 people in the city were massacred.

After killing all the people in the city to express his anger, Wu Sangui reported victory to Beijing. "The bandits and the puppet admiral Wang Yongqiang, the puppet commander-in-chief Guo Yuqi and 540 other officials were killed, and there were more than 2600 thieves. Fuyang and Pucheng were restored, and the puppet seal was obtained."

Sixty-three.

Wu Sangui had his severed head mixed with mud and built into a temple in Beijing to prepare for a test of his merits and to frighten the rebels and vent their anger.

Although the rebels were severely defeated in the Battle of Meiyuan, Wang Yongqiang's desperate attack also caused Wu Sangui's troops to suffer heavy losses. Thousands of people were killed in the battle.

When Bayan, Zhang Tianfu and others attacked the two cities, they were defeated by the few rebels who stayed behind and fought to the death in the city, killing thousands of people.

In the end, Wu Sangui was almost killed by an artillery attack.

Five or six thousand people died, and although not all of them were from his old Guan Ning army, the loss made him very angry, so he simply massacred the city in revenge, and even pretended that the massacred people were rebels to seek rewards.

He also selected the best and strongest among the captured rebels and added them to his army.

"Send this report 800 miles to the imperial court in Beijing."

Wu Sangui read the report he had written himself, carefully read it several times, and then handed it over to his soldiers.

Tens of thousands of people were killed at once. In fact, there were many objections from Guan Ning's military generals, but Wu Sangui still killed him in the end.

He even massacred a city's civilians.

"As soon as the prince's victory comes to Beijing, the imperial court will have no doubt about the prince's loyalty and will reward him greatly." A close confidant, the deputy commander-in-chief, saw Wu Sangui's deeper intention.

Because of the incidents of Hong Chengchou, Yan Wogong, Tu Guobao, Qian Qianyi, Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong, and Liu Liangzuo who surrendered and then rebelled one after another, the upper class of the Tatars now turned against Han generals, especially the generals who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

That's extreme distrust.

After Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty granted him the title of King Pingxi and participated in the Southern Expedition. He was also granted the title of King of Yunnan. He promised that after conquering Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Yunnan would be granted to him and he would be granted the title of Yongzhen. Naturally, Wu Sangui worked very hard.

However, at the critical moment when Hanzhong was fighting against Zhang Xianzhong, the imperial court transferred him back to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, while leaving Li Guohan, who held the Han banner, to stay in Hanzhong. It was obvious that he had some distrust of him.

Therefore, Wu Sangui fought very hard in this battle. After the war, he even used the excuse of being ambushed to massacre an entire Pucheng city in one go. In fact, it was just to show his loyalty to the Tatars.

This shows that Wu Sangui is not only capable of fighting, but also loyal. This loyalty is absolutely true. For this reason, he not only killed tens of thousands of northern Shaanxi rebels in one battle, but also directly slaughtered more than 10,000 civilians.

Use practical actions to prove that you are now a loyal citizen of the Qing Dynasty, a bannerman of the Zhenghuang Banner, not a Han Chinese.

Although Wu Sangui only joined the banner in name only after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and his troops organized fifty-seven subordinates, they were actually independent of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. However, it is precisely because of this that at this critical moment, Wu Sangui needs to make a clear statement more and more.

loyalty.

A close lieutenant asked, "In the current situation, it seems unclear who will win. Why does the commander-in-chief insist on supporting the Qing Dynasty and opposing the Ming Dynasty?"

"The Emperor Ming is willing to accept people like Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, even Li Guo, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. Why not consider them, Commander-in-Chief?"

Wu Sangui just had a cold face, "Do you really think that Zhu Yihai's surname is not Zhu? If he is not the descendant of Ming Taizu, I might consider it." He shook his head and said to his confidants, "Don't look at Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi now.

People like Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Liu Liangzuo are now high-ranking officials and well-paid, and even Zhang Xianzhong can get along harmoniously with the Ming army. But I dare to guess that it's not that Zhu Yihai doesn't hold grudges, it's just that the time has not come yet, and it's not the time yet.

If he can really conquer the world in the future, even if the north and the south stand side by side, as long as it stabilizes, he will definitely liquidate these people.

Don't look at me laughing now, I will always make a list in the future.

Why should I, Wu Sangui, join in the fun?

Besides, even though the Qing Dynasty seems to be in some trouble now, I dare say that Zhu Yihai does not have the strength to destroy Manchuria in one fell swoop."

Wu Sangui is a smart man.

Back then, under the pretext of avenging Chongzhen, he said he was borrowing troops from the Manchus to avenge him, but in fact he was surrendering.

But now that the situation of the Tatars is unfavorable, Wu Sangui feels that this is an opportunity for them to surrender. If the Qing Dynasty goes as smoothly as when it entered the customs and wipes out the world in a few years, it will be difficult for them to surrender the foreigners in the future.

There will be no good results.

Now that the confrontation is in a stalemate, or even slightly at a disadvantage, it is time to show their role.

Only then can he really get the Yunnan that the Tatars promised him.

The icing on the cake is not as good as the icing on the cake.

Hong Chengchou and the others surrendered as soon as they surrendered, but Wu Sangui would not easily jump over and over again.

While you have soldiers in hand, you are not afraid of not having any chips.

He was even thinking about whether to take advantage of this time to return to Guanzhong, wipe out Wang Yongqiang, and simply ask Beijing to guard Guanzhong. Wouldn't it be better if he could be the king of Guanzhong?

Even if the Guanzhong court does not agree, it is still possible to settle for the next best thing and ask for Ningxia or Gansu. It will not be too late to wait until we get Yunnan.

Wu Sangui's twists and turns, most of his subordinates only saw part of them, and only a few could really understand them all.

Hong Chengchou was once a person Wu Sangui admired very much. He didn't expect that he would surrender and rebel again. He didn't know what Hong Chengchou was thinking. No matter what, he had been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. How could Zhu Yihai really trust him?

Even if you are granted the title of Marquis of Nan'an now and the title of Dean of the Admonition Academy, the higher you lift it now, the harder it will fall in the future.
