- Chapter 533: The general trend of the world (first update)
The fall of Beijing and the surrender of Hong Chengchou, what happened in the past few days made the situation in the whole world suddenly clear.
So far, the only provinces that are not officially under the control of the Chinese Empire are Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Lianghu, Sichuan, Jiangxi and most of Jiangsu's Guizhou. These eight provinces occupied by the Chinese Empire included Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Ningxia, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and parts of Jiangsu and Gansu.
This is on the surface. Although many resistance incidents are still happening in the territory controlled by the Chinese Empire, everyone knows that this is only temporary. After all, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi have initially stabilized. Hebei , Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Gansu and other places also gradually subsided within a month.
In contrast, within the provinces that still have the Ming Dynasty as their banner, almost all the aristocratic families and Ming Dynasty clans in Henan, Shandong, and Anhui, including Yan Shenggong, have fled to the two lakes and even Sichuan, leaving behind no war. Concerned soldiers and hesitant people.
"The Huguang area, which they consider to be relatively stable, has Zhang Xianzhong, who has unknown intentions, and Xiao Mingchou, who always appears as a rebel. Sichuan, haha, they don¡¯t know yet that 70% of the entire Sichuan military force is in the hands of the Tianfu Divine Soldiers, and there are more than 20 high-ranking civil servants in charge of Sichuan¡¯s government affairs. When the time is right, another one will shock the world. event.
It can be said that until now, the only minister of the Ming Dynasty who still persists in the world is Sun Chuanting. But at this time, Sun Chuanting had been completely crushed by another piece of news.
The 100,000-strong Chinese Imperial Army marched westward to Anhui and took a detour to the mouth of Poyang Lake. In other words, Sun Chuanting's nearly 200,000 remaining capable soldiers were surrounded in the small space in southern Anhui and southern Zhili.
Yes, this space is very small, so small that the Chinese Empire¡¯s army can completely sweep it away within ten days.
The word "sweep" used here does not have any derogatory connotation, but rather has a complimentary connotation. The siege capability of the Chinese Empire's troops was something Sun Chuanting had never seen before. No matter how strong a city was, it was vulnerable to the Chinese Empire and would surely fall within a day.
Without internal support, such a terrifying siege speed is unheard of. So much so that Sun Chuanting had gradually given up on his plan to engage in urban offensive and defensive battles with the Chinese Imperial Army.
No matter how difficult the situation was and how hopeless the future was, Sun Chuanting still persisted. He led more than 200,000 troops to gradually abandon Nanjing and other sparsely mountainous areas and move to the mountainous areas in southern Anhui. Firstly, it is to use the terrain to carry out harassment warfare, and secondly, it is also to find opportunities to break out.
Sun Chuanting felt heartbroken when he thought of the abuses made by many officials in Nanjing when he led the army to withdraw from Nanjing City that day. It wasn't that he cared much about what those officials thought of him. What he cared about was that the old capital of the Ming Dynasty was handed over to the Chinese Empire.
But what can he do? The army of the Chinese Empire has captured Wuxi and is advancing rapidly in Zhenjiang and other places. If they stay in Nanjing, their more than 200,000 troops will not have any effect.
"And maybe there will be a traitor like Yang Guo in Nanjing City. In that case, the defeat will be faster. Only if their generals see hope of escaping from this encirclement will they not surrender to the Chinese Empire at all costs.
Poor Sun Chuanting, until now, he thought Yang Guo was a traitor. Because of Xiao Mingqian's intentional blockade, most people still don't know that the name Yang Guo is just a code name, a code name used to bury the world.
Although Sun Chuanting achieved his goal of causing more trouble to the Chinese Empire, he persisted in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui for more than a year, causing more than 5,000 casualties to the Chinese Empire. But he didn't expect that once he entered the mountainous area, his army of more than 200,000 people would no longer be a large army fighting in large groups.
If he could implement land reform and win over the hearts and minds of the local people, he might be able to persist longer. Unfortunately, Sun Chuanting's army that entered the mountainous area was just a bandit-style army with an extremely strong feudal style, but there were just a few more people. .
Such an army was able to persist for more than a year entirely because Sun Chuanting was extremely talented in leading troops in combat.
However, a year later, after almost all of Sun Chuanting's men were killed or captured, there was no news from Sun Chuanting. Some people say that he escaped alone and entered Qingcheng to become a Taoist priest. Some people said that he fled to Nanyang and became a hermit. Some people said that after Sun Chuanting was defeated, he jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. There are various rumors, but there is no conclusion.
When the Ming Dynasty continued to retreat, Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Jingzhou, once again had his thoughts in mind.
?To be honest, although Zhang Xianzhong never truly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, this can be seen from the fact that he always held on to the military power in his hands. But he never thought that the Ming Dynasty would be defeated so quickly and completely.
At the end of May, Prince Zhu Changxun, who was coerced into Chongqing by Wu Rongtang, became the emperor as he wished and established the small imperial court of the Western Ming Dynasty.
But the prestige of this court is really limited. Only Sichuan and Hubei basically accept its rule, while Hunan and Jiangxi each have their own supporters.
In other words, under this situation, the Ming Dynasty has been divided into several parts. Although there has not been a war with each other, they basically do not belong to each other.
And what¡¯s even more serious is that the virtues of most of the Ming princes are really not to be praised. Let¡¯s talk about Prince Fu. Maybe if he was made emperor at the beginning, he might not necessarily do worse than his elder brother. But more than ten years of hedonistic life have completely turned him into a pig, a pig that understands nothing.
¡°This pig can only play one role, and that is a flag, and it has no other role.
?????????????????????? Oh, it can¡¯t be said that there is no such thing, but there is a counter-reaction, that is, under such circumstances, he will build his own palace in Chongqing and start to enjoy things that he could not enjoy in the past because of the feudal hierarchy.
Under this situation, Zhang Xianzhong immediately raised the rebel flag again and raided Xiangyang, regardless of the opposition of his men. But what he never expected was that even so, he still failed to capture Xiangyang. After more than ten days of strong attack, he had to give up the idea of ??entering Sichuan after losing as many as 30,000 troops. , and then entered the southern part of Hunan.
