    569 Fall with the wind

    Xizuo and Sun Chuanting's lobbyists arrived in Chengdu one after another, and Guan Ningjun, who was in preparation for war, suddenly fell into confusion.  The lower-level officers and even the ordinary soldiers all let out a sigh of relief.  In the past, defeating the shabby army of the Ming Army was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.  So everyone was in high spirits, rushing to gain more, get more reward money in front of them, and get a wife and a cute son in the future. But since the intervention of the Australians, the Ming army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Wu Yijun was stunned to win a great victory in Guanxia  After beating twenty times the enemy in person, Jierhalan fled in disgrace.  Although it was a bit awkward, Guan Ningjun changed his mentality in a very short time.  At this time, if we attack the Ming army again, especially the new army that Nan Ming has been flaunting, everyone will inevitably feel anxious.  Although money is tempting, it must be spent with life!

    The lower-ranking soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, while the middle- and upper-ranking officers fell into quarrels and even chaos.  Some people think that this is Sun Chuanting's conspiracy and should not be credulous and should actively prepare for war; some people are optimistic and add fuel to the fire and advocate returning to Nanming; more people are confused.  They don't know where the war started by Nan Ming will go. They don't know if they can see the sun in the sky next month, and they don't know what their future is.

    The entire chaos of Guan Ningjun has already affected the coach Wu Sangui Of course, there is more evidence that it is precisely because of Wu Sangui's confusion as the coach that the chaos of Guan Ningjun has been accelerated.  In short, Wu Sangui feels that he is more confused now than ever.  Sun Chuanting's conspiracy?  Secretly hiding Chen Cang?  It's possible Governor Sun really wants to win over him?  It's not impossible.  Ma Shiying refused to surrender. Sun Du and Ma Shiying were very difficult to deal with. According to official customs, it was normal for him to surrender Dorgon made three orders a day, so it was not a problem to always shirk and delay.  The defeat of the Qing Dynasty is definitely true, but we have to guard against Nan Ming's machinations, and we have to guard against the future reckoning.  Being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, you can't break up now.  If something unexpected happens in the future, I can follow the Qing Dynasty and retreat outside the customs Oh my, it gives me a headache just thinking about it!  But I can¡¯t help but think about it¡­

    For a while, Wu Sangui was even in a trance, feeling like time was going back, and he suddenly returned to Shanhaiguan a few years ago.  On the one hand, Dashun persuades him to surrender, on the other hand, he is tempted by the Manchus What a dilemma!

    So it was almost no surprise that when his generals asked him to make up his mind, Wu Sangui played the same trick he did a few years ago.  Wait and see again, no one will be offended if you don't tell the truth.

    It has to be said that Sun Chuanting's ability to grasp people's hearts far exceeds his political literacy and ability to lead troops in war.  Even when his troops approached Dorgon's home base of Hanyang, Chengdu's Wu Sangui didn't even make an offensive gesture.  This is tantamount to telling everyone clearly that you can fight, and I will listen to whoever has a strong fist.

    Is it strange?  Not surprising at all!

    Wu Sangui can be described as a typical character with a "grassroots" personality.  The reason why he has a certain role and reputation in history is because of his bravery and resourcefulness.  As a general, Wu Sangui was brave and resourceful, and was considered a rare talent.  But as a leader, Wu Sangui is not qualified because there is a selfish, narrow and smooth side to his character.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of self-interest, forget one[s] righteousness when seeing benefits, go back on one word, act according to the prevailing situation, and ultimately become a national sinner.  On the ever-changing historical stage of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Wu Sangui happened to be caught in a dilemma. If it had been someone else, he might have been "caught" to death long ago.  Some of the Ming Dynasty officials at that time completely surrendered to the Qing court; some were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and sacrificed their lives for justice; some surrendered to King Li Chuang.  Only Wu Sangui was able to get both sides. He surrendered Li to rebel against Li several times, and surrendered to Qing to rebel against Qing. He was extremely busy over and over again.  Wu Sangui's character is destined to serve as cannon fodder, but he will never become a hero, let alone an emperor.

    Sun Chuanting saw this clearly, so he unscrupulously ignored Wu Sangui in Chengdu and attacked Dorgon in Hanyang.

    On November 7, 1649 AD, the Guangwu Army under Sun Chuanting arrived in Taiping County under the jurisdiction of Suiding Prefecture.  Yes, arrival.  It is not recovery, nor occupation, nor conquest.  The territory of Bashu is very rugged, which greatly restricted the Qing Dynasty's main cavalry tactics.  Although there are steep passes along the way, it will bring great advantages to the defending side.  But that's when the weapons are about the same!

    Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is secretly developing firearms, the Dorgon tribe is still at the level before entering the customs.  Compared with the Guangwu Army under Sun Chuanting, the huge gap in weapons generation directly caused those passes that were once blocked by one man to be blocked by ten thousand people, turned into large coffins.  Dorgon would rather that no one under his two white flags would die. They would rather wait for Sun Chuanting to step into the Hanzhong Plain and use the short-term speed advantage of the cavalry to attack Sun Chuanting's troops.

    As for the Han army under Dorgon Dorgon actually gave the order to change defenses.  Those Han soldiers patted their chests and agreed, reporting one day at a time that their troops were facing Guangdong.The military army advanced at high speed.  The report that came back from the expedition in a few days didn't make Dorgon angry. These shameless guys didn't go thirty miles in five days in total.

    After beheading a few heads, the Han army was impressed by Dorgon's cruelty. This time they actually went to garrison the passes along the way.  But as soon as the Guangwu Army enters a radius of a hundred miles, these guys will definitely disperse in a noisy manner, leaving only empty cities and passes.  What's more, he left a letter in the former commander's tent, saying that he had always admired Sun Du and had long been looking forward to rectifying the chaos.

    In short, from Chongqing Prefecture to Suiding Prefecture, the large area that once belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's sphere of influence suddenly turned into a vacuum.  Dorgon's defense turned into a farce. The Guangwu Army took a leisurely walk as if they were walking in their own back garden, and easily approached Gansu.

    The Guangwu Army¡¯s staff system expected that it would encounter Dorgon¡¯s stubborn resistance in Gansu, so it was recommended to rest for two days in Taiping County.  Sun Chuanting accepted this proposal, and on the third day the Guangwu Army completed its revision and continued to march towards Hanzhong.  As soon as they left Sichuan, they encountered Qing resistance at Yanchang Pass.

    ¡°But I saw flags fluttering in the direction of Yanchang Pass and thousands of horses galloping.  What a big scene!  Everyone in the Guangwu Army, from young soldiers to young officers, are gearing up and waiting for a big fight.  These troops, mostly descendants of Guangdong and Guangxi, have never encountered Tatars.  After several years of hard training, assembling the best weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty, and having a famous commander in charge, everyone was holding back their motivation from top to bottom to compete with Wu Yijun.

    Since Wu Yijun could defeat Jierhalang at Dasheng Pass, it is impossible for Guangwu Army to be defeated in front of the "little" Dorgon!  The chain of command came into effect quickly, ministries began to deploy, and artillery quickly got into position.

    What surprised the Guangwu Army was that those Qing troops actually abandoned Yanchang Pass and came out to fight with the Guangwu Army in the field!  This made some officers very depressed. They felt that they had encountered a stupid enemy, and even if they won, they would not have much glory in their faces.  And in the next moment, something happened that stunned everyone.

    A calibrated bomb landed fifty meters in front of the Qing army's formation and bounced into the Qing army's formation.  Visual inspection killed and injured a few unlucky ones along the way, and then the leader exploded with a roar of nearly ten thousand Qing troops!  Everyone turned their heads together, raised their weapons, shouted mixed slogans, and charged towards the cavalrymen with white flags who were supervising the formation in the rear.

    ¡°It¡¯s the opposite, it¡¯s the opposite!¡±

    "Kill Peru and surrender to Sundu!"

    ¡­¡­

    Looking at the poor performance of the Manchu and Han troops, the entire Guangwu army was stunned.  A certain battalion commander who had just received the attack mission threw his hat down in frustration: "I'll break your lungs, these bad guys are worse than Wu Sangui, the wallflower!"
