The second Wuyuan Valley siege organized by the Ming Dynasty is underway. Two of the most capable chieftains in the south were requisitioned. Shayuan and Pu fame. later. The elite coalition forces from Lingnan Province were defeated by Lu Ce in Fucheng. That battle. Sha Dingzhou's father Sha Yuan. My brother Sha Dinghai was on the battlefield. And Wang Nongshan's chieftain is famous. He was also killed by the rebels on the way to escape.
After this battle. The Nanhai Kingdom emerged from Qiongzhou Prefecture. The Ming Dynasty lost control in Lingnan. There are no more soldiers to fight.
The famous Ami Tusi Pu has a wife named Wan Caiyun. Romantic by nature. She was originally a businessman who warmed the bed. Because of her charming appearance. Common reputation buys to become a wife. The year when he became famous. Wan Caiyun is only thirty-six or seventeen years old. It is the age of the wolf. But her husband died. How can I bear to have no one in the tent every night?
Waiting for the defeated troops who attacked Qiongzhou to return to Yunnan. Wan Cai rushed to Sha Dingzhou in a hurry.
His son Pu Zuoyuan was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time. It's the time when youth is full of energy. How could he tolerate Sha Dingzhou, who was only a few years older than him, becoming a stepfather? It didn't take long for him to fall out with Shazhou. That Shadingzhou looks tall and mighty. Like a barbarian. In fact, he is a wealthy man. He also did not have a direct conflict with Pu Yuan. In private, he designs everything. Finally got Wan Caiyun. They planned to poison Pu Yuan together.
Pu Zuoyuan died. All the more than 10,000 strong soldiers of the Sha family fell into Sha Dingzhou's pocket. From then on it was out of control. He took advantage of the death of the old Duke of Guizhou. The new Duke of Guizhou launched an attack when he first came to power. Rushed into Kunming City and bloodbathed the Mu family. The wealth accumulated by the Mu family over three hundred years. The whole night was occupied by Nongshan barbarians. Sha Dingzhou called himself the King of Yunnan and the chieftain of Shiping, Long Zaitian. The chieftain of Ningzhou has eternal life. Four expeditions.
Na Sha Dingzhou is a man of great ambition. He is not like ordinary barbarians who only know how to fight. He said that the queen not only actively showed her favor to various chieftains. The ethnic minority forces united by the titles of "Gong" and "Hou". He also treated the Han gentry with courtesy. I personally visited many famous Confucian scholars in Yunnan and Guizhou. He also learned from Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, who practiced corvee lightly and paid little in taxes. Within a year, it was incredibly possible to gain support from the Yunnan-Guizhou ethnic minority tribes and the Han gentry.
The continuous mountains of Yun Plateau make transportation extremely inconvenient. It was never something that the Ming court could control. Every toast is a kingdom. For a hundred years. The official system of the Ming Dynasty collapsed. The chieftains were fed up with the exploitation and extortion by the officials. Sha Dingzhou raised his flag at this time. It¡¯s really a gathering of people who call out when they climb high. See the Ming Dynasty being conquered by the Nanhai Kingdom. Afterwards, the Jinliu thief turned out to be like this. The chiefs started to revolt one after another.
There are one or two people who are optimistic about Ming Dynasty. Soon they were wiped out by the "King of Yunnan".
In just two years, the situation in the west of the empire was completely destroyed. Starting from Chuxiong, Yunnan in the west. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was filled with two thousand banners "As far as Gui'an and the King of Yunnan" in the east. From then on, Emperor Zhu was unknown on the plateau. Only the King of Yunnan was known.
??In the confusion of the time travellers. The Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Chongzhen. It shows the image of a precarious world more ruined than ever before. Sha Dingzhou refused to let go of this once-in-three-year opportunity. Taking advantage of the empty military strength in Guangdong and Guangxi. He entered Guangdong and Guangxi via Shanglin. He recruited chieftains along the way to attack the city and captured Guangxi with almost no fighting.
It was not until the king of Yunnan, Guangdong, who entered the richest country, that he encountered firm resistance from the local Han people. They suffered a defeat in Deqing Prefecture, which was only a hundred miles away from Qingfu. It is extremely difficult for Sha Dingzhou's army to be under the unified command of the chieftain coalition. After Sha Dingzhou suffered this defeat, he no longer ventured forward. Gather the troops in Nanning Mansion. Summon the native chiefs of the three provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi. We must gather a large army to attack Guangdong in one fell swoop.
The little emperor can ask for work for 600,000 taels of silver. That's definitely not a good life. This is Guangxi. The sword is as long as the forest and the flag is like the cloud. Lu Ce needs to face it. It is a hundred thousand sturdy native troops gathered from three provinces.
August 11th. The South China Sea United Fleet carrying the Pioneer Battalion. Arrived at Leizhou City.
Leizhou Mansion is located on the Leizhou Peninsula in the southernmost part of Guangdong. Close to Hainan Island. It is only separated from Qiongzhou Prefecture by a strip of Qiongzhou that is more than 20 miles wide. Leizhou. The coastal plain along the Lianzhou line. It is a corridor connecting Guangdong and Guangxi. Crucial for logistical transfers. Lianzhou Prefecture in the west has been captured by Sha Dingzhou. Leizhou Mansion was a key point in the Guangdong-Yunnan War. The front line. I saw more than a hundred large ships coming down the sea. Leifu Pier suddenly turned into a sea of ??joy. drum. The lock sounds. Noisy ears - have lost their function. The best four golden lions are alive. Fighting amidst the crackling of huge firecrackers. But a huge golden dragon suddenly rushed in. Bite the blood-red hydrangea in one bite. It attracted countless cheers.
The two provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong Dao. The faces of all the gentry and wealthy families were full of joy. Standing under the temporary "recruiting pavilion" full of sorrow. He watched eagerly as the Nanhai Fleet approached a little bit. Waiting for General Lu's army to "abandon the darkness and surrender to the light" to land. Gray beards were once a symbol of status for these old men. But the desperate request for help at this moment was embarrassing.
??The hair on the temples. It seems to be a sign of lack of courage and incompetence.
Wait until the fleet is approaching. The huge body of the Sea Sovereignty made everyone stunned. How many days?The emperor's kindness is mighty. The business of appeasement in this world. There is really no salary first. Then take the money to ask the traitor to be appeased. That one in turn. He becomes a thieves. Lost money.
Chongzhen was definitely not willing to pay money first. It¡¯s Chongzhen¡¯s wish. The Donglin Party also wants to argue with the emperor to the end. There is definitely no discussion on this matter. Ruo Ce insists on order again. If you don't agree, get the money and work first. Then this matter will be stuck in the process. He, Xiong Wencan, encouraged him. How to recruit them?
His memorial has been handed down. He said that he would do something to appease Zheng Zhilong again. Make up for Wang Zunde's mistake of creating provocations and forcing people to rebel. Lu Ce, the "chief of the Five Origin Thieves", led the army to attack Shadingzhou. Solving the deadlock in Southwest China in one fell swoop. Chongzhen had no troops to support Guangdong and Guangxi. Nor do we want to spend millions of taels of silver like we did during the "An'an Rebellion" four years ago. Then Xiong Wencan appeased Lu Ce. The strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians was greatly praised.
Anyway, that¡¯s what Xiong Wencan said. Xiong Can blamed himself for the consequences. become. It means getting promoted to a higher position. defeat. It means being a prisoner.
No matter what. Xiong Wen was unwilling to fall short. Fall down at this time. He took an anxious step forward. He held Lu Ce's hand numbly. He said with confidence. "Don't worry, General Lu. This 600,000 taels of military pay will be sent out from the capital. It will arrive in Zhaoqing in a few days. The general can take a rest in Leizhou. I will personally drive to deliver it to the general."
Lu Ce looked into Xiong Wencan¡¯s eyes. I have seen through his nervousness and guilty conscience. smiled. "Mr. Xiong has something unspeakable. This may not be true."
Xiong Wencan nervously flicked his sleeves. shouted loudly. "It's not true. If I can't send the money to Leizhou in one and a half months, General Lu can take advantage of me."
This sentence is bullshit. It's like saying nothing. Lu Ce frowned in displeasure. Looked at Xiong Wencan coldly. No words were spoken for a long time. Xiong Wencan was a little panicked. He looked at the officials and gentry behind him with big eyes and small eyes. He reluctantly pulled Lu Ce aside. Said begging for mercy. "General Lu. King Lu. Xiong Wencan is just a foreign official. How can he give money first and then recruit him?"
Xiong Wencan looked at Lu Ce pitifully. The fat on his face trembled with his expression. Said again. "Master Lu, why don't you give the Nan'ao deputy general an ultimatum in front of all the officials? Since he has been recruited by the Ming Dynasty, why don't you use the 600,000 taels of salary? The emperor cannot lose three provinces at once. Sooner or later the money will come."
Lu Ce thought for a while. He pursed his lips. He looked at what Xiong Wencan took out of his pocket. Deputy General Nanan¡¯s appointment documents and customs clearance certificate. This is the ultimatum issued by the military attache of the Ming Dynasty. asked. "Is it enough to just accept these two things?"
Xiong Wencan¡¯s eyes lit up. He made a decisive decision to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. He straightened his back and spoke loudest. "Vice General Lu. Once this ultimatum is over, you are the deputy commander-in-chief of Nan'ao, my great Ming Dynasty. Do you know?"
Lu Ce looked at the gentry and officials around him. I know it¡¯s not easy to retreat now. Since he had discussed it with Mr. Shi Bandong Xuepu. and Pang Ning came with great fanfare. There is no going back now. Lu Ce frowned and clasped his fist at Xiong Wencan. It was agreed. Then he took those two things away. Xiong Wen was relieved. Wiped the sweat from his head. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ce didn¡¯t get the money. I have no interest in staying in Leizhou. He looked at Xiong Wencan. Lu Ce said unhappily. "I'll go to Lianzhou first. When the money arrives, you can send it to Lianzhou."
Xiong Wencan was stunned. Kindly remind General Lu. Lianzhou is now captured by Sha Dingzhou. Chieftain Long of Shiping is guarding the field." Lu Ce glanced at this big corrupt official impatiently and said coldly. "I'm going to take down Lianzhou. If Mr. Xiong can't send any money by then. I went to Zhaoqing to get it myself. "
