    Except for the more than 10,000 troops who were sent to meet the enemy and later stationed at Nanling, Su Guansheng had no troops under his command.  If the Western Army launches an attack on Guangdong, as long as it breaks through the Nanling Defense Line, it will be like entering a deserted land. Su Guansheng will be unable to resist Well, even if Su Guansheng can conjure tens of thousands of troops out of thin air, he will not be able to stop the Western Army.  The Western Army even defeated the Chu Army, but the Chu Army was one to ten against the Guangdong soldiers. Based on this ratio, Su Guansheng would need at least 1.5 million to stop Sun Kewang's hundreds of thousands of troops This account cannot be calculated  Well, even with the overwhelming power of the Longwu court, it could not afford to support so many troops.  If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him.  Where to go, everyone has their own plans.  After Sun Kewang and others established the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, some people in Shilin and among the people had a sympathetic attitude towards the Xijun regime. After all, Emperor Chongzhen was the undisputed orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was justifiable for his prince to inherit the throne But  Generally speaking, there are not many people who sympathize with and support the Western Army. The vast majority of the gentry and common people still support Emperor Longwu. The Southern Party is deeply rooted in Guangdong, and the influence of the Chu Army in Guangdong is not small. In addition, Su Guansheng is a loyal person.  The imperial party, everyone was on the big ship of the Longwu Court, and regarded the Western Army as the enemy.  When the Hu-Guang war first broke out, all walks of life in Guangdong had high hopes for the Chu army, hoping that they would once again show their might, drive the Western army back to Yunnan, and retake Guangxi, thus eliminating the threat of war in Guangdong and restoring trade between Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan.  The Western Army occupied Guangxi, invaded Hunan, and threatened Guangdong. The biggest losses were the merchants in Guangdong. The entire Pearl River water transport has been paralyzed. All kinds of goods from the inland cannot go to sea, and goods from overseas cannot be transported to the inland. Everyone mentions the Western Army  Everyone gnashed their teeth and hated them, wishing that they would be beaten to the ground immediately by the Chu army.  What is disappointing is that the Chu army has been retreating steadily since the war began, and in the end they even lost Changsha and Hengyang.  Almost overnight, many people became sympathizers and supporters of the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan. It is necessary to mention his life experience and the bumpy and bizarre experiences in the past few years. All in all, Zhu Cihuan is the true dragon emperor to whom he is destined.  , even if he himself does not want to be the emperor, even if many people do not want him to be the emperor, the fate that has been destined for a long time still makes him move towards the throne of the emperor step by step. Those who try to oppose him, even if they are as powerful as the Chu army, will be defeated.  The Western Army was defeated.  It is said that the Tatar emperor recognized Zhu Cihuan as the True Dragon Emperor and wanted to form a brotherly kingdom with him. The eternal king Zhu Cihuan was his brother and the Tatar Emperor Shunzhi was his younger brother.  It is said that after the soldiers of the Chu army learned about Zhu Cihuan's identity, their morale and morale were low. They did not dare to fight the real imperial army (Western Army). Wang Sheng, Lu Renqing, Teng Shuanglin and other Wang Kefan's best friends struggled to the death and resisted, and were defeated.  Sun Kewang was killed until rivers of blood flowed. His corpse blocked the Xiangjiang River, and the river was still red after several days.  It is said that Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan panicked and hid in Nanjing shivering.  It is said that Su Guansheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, secretly wanted to change the banner anyway.  It is said that Sun Kewang has ordered that after Guangzhou is captured, the whole city will be bloodbathed to warn those soldiers and civilians of the Longwu Dynasty who dare to resist.  It is said People in the city of Guangzhou are panicked, and all kinds of news that are difficult to distinguish between true and false are flying all over the sky. When they go out of the remote countryside of Guangzhou City, those absurd rumors are spread beyond recognition. In the mouths of some people, the Western Army  The soldiers have turned into murderous demon kings with red hair and fangs. If they invade Guangdong, they will definitely be slaughtered in the red land for thousands of miles. Some people are ready to flee, but most of them are unable to leave their homeland and can only stay at home.  Pray to heaven that the Western Army will not invade Guangdong.  There was chaos and chaos everywhere, and Su Guansheng could no longer control the situation. In the past few days, several of his subordinates came to his door and advised him to be prepared in advance, otherwise he would fail. He must make plans in advance.  .  "Are you trying to persuade me to surrender? I have been treated favorably by the emperor, how can I commit treason and surrender to the traitors?!" Su Guansheng scolded these people and walked away.  These few people came excitedly, but were scolded a lot, and had to leave the Governor's Yamen dejectedly. However, one of them with the brightest mind was the first to think about it: "Su Bu Tang does mean to change the flag anyway, but it's just that Shang Shang  Hesitating." His companion asked in confusion, "Brother, why did you say this? Su Butang is loyal to the court, and he waited for me to be scolded. How could he be hesitant at all?"  What's the big deal? In the past, if anyone dared to say a nice word to His Highness Yong Wang, Su Budang would put him in jail. But now he only curses us a few times. It shows that he is also in a dilemma in this situation.  I don¡¯t want to live up to the divine grace, but I also don¡¯t want to see Guangdong turn into a scorched earth and the people¡¯s lives are in ruins.¡± ¡°Oh¡ªit¡¯s true!¡± Several companions suddenly realized that even if Su GuanshengThey were ready to surrender to the Western Army, and they would not make any noise in advance. The whole world knew that the repeated entanglement of three requests and three concessions was a necessary procedure. They raised the boards high and put them down gently.  This fully explains the attitude of Governor Su.  "As subordinates, we should share Shangguan's worries. There are some things that Su Butang is unable to come forward for, so let us do it for you. Brother Wende, your literary talent is the best among us, so I ask you to write a letter. First,  Let¡¯s find out what Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu mean.¡± ¡°In that case, I will show my shame.¡± That ¡°Brother Wende¡± did his part, took the pen and paper, and after a while he wrote an official document that didn¡¯t look like an official document.  , the private letter is not like a private letter, and the credentials are not like the four articles of the credentials. Then I discussed it with my companions, signed the names of two of them very carefully, sealed it into a wax pill, and sent it to the Western Army.  In the army Su Guansheng soon knew about the little tricks carried out by these subordinate officials, but he pretended not to know anything and did not send anyone to recover the secret letter.  This can be considered as leaving a way out.  "I will try my best to hold on until the last moment." Su Guansheng didn't want to surrender in his heart. He secretly made up his mind that if the Western Army attacked Guangdong, he would resist and delay as much as possible. But at the last moment when the army was about to attack the city, there was no need to continue.  Make unnecessary resistance.  He was favored by Emperor Longwu and should not betray him either emotionally or rationally. Even though Emperor Longwu was now just a puppet emperor, in the face of the general trend, his personal feelings and personal ethics were pale and powerless. Since Su Guansheng had already surrendered to Nanjing once  , surrendering to the Western Army for the second time, maybe is not as difficult as imagined.  A similar scene was also staged in Jiangxi.  The news of the Chu army's consecutive defeats shook the morale of the troops in Jiangxi and Guangdong. Under the cloud of war, the officials and people in these two provinces were panicked. Wan Yuanji and Su Guansheng were deliberately conniving at first, and secondly, they had controlled  Unable to control the situation, many civilian and military generals under his command were secretly communicating with the Western Army to reserve a way out.  The magistrate of Pingxiang, the magistrate of Nanxiong, the guerrillas of Changle, and the general Renhua After the Western Army occupied the entire territory of Huguang, northern Guangdong and western Jiangxi may be attacked at any time. On this long line of defense, in addition to the Chu army, there are also  There are quite a few Wan Yuanji and Su Guansheng's territories, and some of them have sent letters to the Western Army, expressing their sincerity to Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu. When their army arrived, they immediately changed sides and became the vanguard of the king's army.  In the city of Nanjing, the clouds are also gathering.  Bad news kept coming one after another. In addition to the unfavorable situation in Huguang, the Qing army also stepped up its offensive on the northern front. After the "Four Hexi Generals" relieved Tuenbuer, they joined forces to attack Huangzhou Prefecture. The old Qin army all  They were elite soldiers from the northwest who were brave and good at fighting and put a lot of pressure on the Chu army in Huangzhou Prefecture.  At the same time, Wu Sangui, who had been sitting still, suddenly launched an attack and launched a counterattack in the Jianghuai area. Wang Jincai's Second Northern Expedition Army resisted vigorously and started a fierce battle with Wu Sangui in the Gaoyou area. After losing the battle, he retreated to Yangzhou. Wu Sangui occupied Huai'an and began to repair what was destroyed by the Chu army.  The damaged canals and wharves are being prepared to resume water transportation.  Although Emperor Longwu was a puppet emperor, he had enough personal freedom, and the news was not hidden from him.  After hearing that Hengyang was lost and Wu Sangui went south, Emperor Longwu asked someone to send a message to Wang Kefan, asking him to come to the palace to see him.  "My lifelong ambition is to recover the country and revive the Ming Dynasty. If I can fight against Jiannu, even if my body is wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield, it will be a happy thing." Emperor Longwu looked very serious and saluted Wang Kefan: "  I intend to join the army and fight to the death with Wu Sangui, and I would like to ask Liang Guogong to do it. " "Does your Majesty want to lead the expedition personally?" Wang Kefan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not right. The situation in the court is not stable now, so your Majesty can't move lightly."  "I have no other intentions!" Emperor Longwu suddenly raised his voice, and he was filled with grievances. Wang Kefan, Wang Kefan!  You've made me look like this, are you still on guard against me?  "I know that you should have no other ideas, but it's hard to say what other people will think." Wang Kefan's voice did not rise or fall.  Emperor Longwu was discouraged. After a while, he said in a pleading tone: "I am the emperor after all. I can personally conquer the war to boost morale and stabilize the people's hearts. The current war situation is so critical, and I just want to do something." "  Your Majesty wants to fight on the battlefield. There will always be opportunities in the future, but not now." Wang Kefan said this with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "When I use my troops, I never compete for the gains and losses of a city or a place. The current battle situation seems to be in danger, but in fact everything is at stake.  I have it under control. Ah, since Your Majesty is willing to help, please write another edict" Emperor Longwu turned away and ignored him.  Wang Kefan shook his head helplessly,Leaving the palace.  Later that day, Wang Kefan issued another edict in the name of Emperor Longwu, denouncing Sun Kewang's rebellion and treason, his wolfish ambition, and his alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  Call on the world to jointly attack the Qing army and the Western army, and we must completely eliminate them.
