    Real gold is not afraid of fire.  It¡¯s either a mule or a horse coming out for a walk.  The Chu army fought against the Qing army before and was almost invincible. Everyone thought they were the most powerful army in the world. However, after they encountered the Western army, they were defeated again and again and had little ability to fight back.  After the Battle of Huguang, Wu Sangui felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Chu army.  The Chu army is actually not that strong.  In the past, the Qing army was victorious in every battle because the Eight Banners soldiers were rotten.  The Western Army is the truly powerful army.  Of course, the main strength of the Western Army lies in Sun Kewang. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are as famous as him, and they both performed mediocrely in the Battle of Huguang. What is even more rare is that Sun Kewang is outstanding in both literary and military strategies. It is said that the Western Army  He took charge of all kinds of internal affairs and took care of everything in an orderly manner. Sun Kewang was indispensable for the Western Army's current combat strength and scale.  In the early stages of the Battle of Huguang, Wu Sangui still had a suspicion that the Chu army was retreating steadily to lure the enemy deeper. Even if they lost the provincial capital Changsha, it might be a ploy to show weakness to the arrogant enemy. However, the loss of Hengyang tore off their last hope.  A fig leaf, the Chu army had clearly been pinned to the ground and ravaged by the Western army, and there was no way to lure the enemy.  As the old saying goes, if you don't give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. The problem is that not only did the Chu army abandon their children, they were also bitten and bruised by the Western army. It is said that several troops were maimed and almost fled naked.  If you go into the ravine, you won't have the strength to turn back and hunt the wolf.  Moreover, the Western Army has occupied so many important cities and has been able to build a complete defense system. Even if the Chu Army still has mobile forces, it will not be easy to launch a counterattack now. Hengyang, Changsha, Yuezhou, Changde control these  A few big cities controlled the entire Hunan. The Chu army abandoned the two big cities of Changsha and Hengyang one after another, and turned around to attack these two strong cities, wasting precious troops on cruel battles. There is absolutely no such thing in the world.  reason.  The Chu army is really in trouble.  Perhaps because of the continuous battles, the Chu army was already exhausted.  Perhaps it was because the Western Army was too strong and the Chu Army was unable to defeat it.  In short, the Chu army was defeated by the Western army.  Next, the defeat in the Battle of Huguang will cause a chain reaction, and the Chu army's entire defense line will loosen. If this is a feast to carve up the Chu army's territory, then the next step will be the climax of this feast, and the Western Army will move fastest.  , has already grabbed the big fat piece of Huguang, but Wu Sangui still has a chance.  The importance of Jianghuai is not much worse than that of Huguang.  What¡¯s more, Nanzhili is the final main course of this feast.  Wu Sangui has been standing still, waiting for the opportunity. Now, the best time has really arrived. Although the current situation is very different from his original expectation, everything has its disadvantages and advantages. After the Western Army captured Huguang, Wang Kefan wanted to stop the Western Army.  If we continue to advance eastward, we will inevitably continue to increase our troops to Jiangxi and Guangdong. Jianghuai and Nanzhili will become increasingly empty. At this time, it is an excellent opportunity to go south!  "Everyone, it has become the case that the Western Army defeated the Chu Army. Our army can no longer sit idly by and ignore it." Wu Sangui's voice was extremely loud, and his sonorous tone showed his confidence in victory. There was a faint sound of gold and stone: "Pass this to the king.  Military order, the entire army will send troops to attack Huai'an from now on! "" Since Emperor Longwu was kidnapped to Nanjing, Guangdong has been in a state of undercurrent and impetuousness.  Compared with other frontier officials, Su Guansheng has the lowest qualifications and low prestige. The situation in Guangdong is very complicated. The Southern Party is deeply rooted here and has great influence. Because of the butterfly effect brought by Wang Kefan, a time traveler  , the Qing army failed to attack Guangdong several times when it went south, so the original social order was relatively intact. Although Southern Party bosses like He Wuzou and Chen Zizhuang were not in Guangdong, they still had huge local influence.  Influence, when Su Guansheng got off the bus, no matter what he wanted to do, without the support of the Southern Party and local gentry, the decree could hardly leave Guangzhou.  In addition to the Southern Party, the Chu Army also has great influence in Guangdong. The coastal areas around Hong Kong have become the exclusive territory of the Chu Army. Not only do officials at all levels use Chu to select officials, but they also manage their own people, property, and power, and they also own  When dealing with Su Guansheng's governor's office, his own army behaves as an equal, neither humble nor arrogant, and does not look down upon him, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, at all.  Because of Zhang Jiayu's relationship with the Dongguan camp, the locals in Dongguan and Nanhai County have accepted the Chu army and regarded these Yankees as their own. The Chu army initially only owned a small area of ????Hong Kong, but in recent years it has continued to encroach outwards and expand.  The sphere of influence is now about the size of a medium-sized state capital.  Since Su Guansheng took office as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he has always felt like a beetle trapped in a spider's web. He punched and kicked out every time. Although he would not encounter any frontal obstacles, he was surrounded by enemies from all directions.There were countless spider threads pulling at his hands and feet, and he was unable to exert all his strength. Su Guansheng sometimes laughed at himself with his close aides. In name, he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but in fact he was just a larger prefect. He had to look at Nannan everywhere.  The party and the Chu army acted according to their expressions.  The difficulties faced by local officials are incomprehensible to the central court officials.  ¡°Local officials like Su Guansheng who want to do something great are in a particularly difficult situation.  Fortunately, Su Guansheng was a determined man. In order to repay Emperor Longwu's kindness and to realize his personal ambitions, he had been working silently over the past few years without getting discouraged or giving up. He gradually built up his own team and continued to work hard.  I worked hard to do a few practical things, and finally gained prestige in the officialdom, gained a good reputation among the people, and established a firm foothold in Guangdong.  Guangdong has always been in the rear area and has not been damaged by the war. The local economy is prosperous, and a large number of refugees from the north have poured in to serve as laborers, opening up wasteland and farming, working in factories, working hard and willing to do any dirty work.  Although Hong Kong did not obey Guangzhou's orders, the Chu army was really good at making money. They did almost any business. Even the local monkeys in Luzon were captured and worked as coolies. Cargo ships shuttled on the Pearl River day and night, and Guangzhou also shared the profits.  Quite a few, and with a good official like Su Guansheng who is relatively self-denial and devoted to his duties, Guangdong can be said to be prosperous and prosperous in the past two years.  Everything is developing in a good direction.  Until the Western Army established Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan and began to attack Guangxi.  In order to support Emperor Longwu's Guangxi campaign, Su Guansheng lost almost all the money he had accumulated in the past two years. Not only did he send a large amount of money and food, but he also sent more than 20,000 Qin troops. When Emperor Longwu was kidnapped by the Chu army and sent to Nanjing  , the king's army of more than 20,000 soldiers only withdrew more than 3,000 people, and lost all their weapons and equipment. They ran back almost naked Tan Tai used 1,500 cavalry to defeat Guo Weijing's 30,000 cavalry.  King Qin's army included many Guangdong soldiers sent by Su Guansheng.  The Chu army is so powerful!  Emperor Longwu announced to the world in Nanjing that he would return the capital to Nanjing. Su Guansheng waited and watched for a few days and saw that other princes had bowed their heads. As long as they also expressed their surrender to Nanjing, although he secretly scolded Wang Kefan countless times for being a rebellious minister and traitor, he  Without the strength to fight against the Chu army, they could only accept the reality.  After this great change, the Southern Party forces in Guangdong were also severely damaged.  The rise of the Southern Party was due to the fact that the Qing army repeatedly moved southward after entering the customs. The ruling center of the Southern Ming Dynasty continued to move southward. It was inevitable to reuse the literati and officials from the south. Among them, the majority were officials from Guangdong. They were numerous and held real power.  They hold various official positions from the central government to the local level. When gathered together, they are an extremely powerful political force. They can easily defeat the Donglin Party, which was a behemoth back then. They can influence the will of Emperor Longwu, and they can compete with Chu Xun, who holds military power.  Confrontation, but after Emperor Longwu returned the capital to Nanjing, the Nanjing Party had actually been driven out of the center of power, and its gradual decline was an inevitable outcome.  He Wuzou, Chen Zizhuang and other Southern Party bosses were "escorted" to Nanjing by Liu Fangliang, and they were soon reduced to puppets. Without the support of these court bosses, the local Southern Party forces lost their original arrogance.  , but Guangdong is the base camp of the Southern Party after all. Many people with lofty ideals dream of eradicating the national traitor Wang Kefan and reviving the Ming Dynasty. They hate the Chu army more than Su Guansheng, a loyal imperial party, and some unrealistic scholars and corrupt scholars have even put it into practice.  Actions, secret associations, and constant plotting every day.  Some people suggested that they could pay heavy sums of money to hire martial arts masters to imitate the Bo Lang of the pre-Qin Dynasty and assassinate Wang Kefan with one blow.  Some people also suggested that they could select eloquent people to lobby the frontier officials like Su Guansheng and Wan Yuanji, or local warlords like Zheng Chenggong and Jin Shenghuan, and persuade them to raise the banner of "clearing the emperor and attacking the national traitors" to attack Wang Kefan, and then write  A resounding statement will surely elicit a response from all over the world.  Some people have suggested that we can follow the example of borrowing troops from Tibet to quell the Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, and borrow troops from the Manchu Qing or the Western Army, etc.  Su Guansheng dealt with these whimsical and unstable factors resolutely and with high pressure. He would arrest those who deserved and punish those who deserved punishment. He would send them to jail for a few years and then ransack their homes and fine them until they were bankrupt. It was to see if they were honest or not.  To be honest, Su Guansheng has enough troubles now, and these blind guys are still here to cause trouble. Of course, we can't be polite to them.  After some vigorous and resolute actions, Su Guansheng temporarily stabilized the situation in Guangdong. Immediately afterwards, the Western Army and the Qing Army joined forces to launch an attack on the Chu Army.  Half a year was neither long nor short, but looking back afterwards, it seemed that it had passed by in the blink of an eye. Su Guansheng was surprised to find that the Western Army defeated the Chu Army and occupied all of Huguang in only half a year.  territory.  Changsha and Hengyang were lost one after another. When the news came, the government and people in Guangdong were in an uproar.  Why did the Chu army become so weak? ???????????????????????????????????????The killing has arrived at your doorstep, what should you do?
