    To the northwest is the Dabie Mountains. Tan Tai originally thought that he would be chased and intercepted by the Chu army soon, but after walking for dozens of miles, he only encountered a few small groups of passing Chu troops.  Walking around, we walked to Taihu County at the junction of Hubei and Anhui (this Taihu Lake is not the other Taihu Lake, not the beautiful Taihu Lake, but Taihu County in western Anhui), and unexpectedly encountered a Qing army of more than 2,000 people, all of whom were soldiers from the green camp and  The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty under Geng Zhongming.  After asking the generals who led the army, they found out that Geng Zhongming had been defeated by the Chu army. Geng Zhongming himself was missing. The 20,000 Qing troops under his command were scattered like birds and beasts. Most of them were wiped out by the Chu army. Only this group of troops managed to escape to Taihu County.  They happened to run into Tan Tai. Chu army Zhang Jiayu and other troops were chasing him from behind, only twenty miles away.  That¡¯s what happened!  Tan Tai suddenly realized that the main force of the Chu army was either chasing Tun Bu'er and other Eight Banners soldiers in Anhui, or besieging Geng Zhongming in Yingshan. Seeing that Tan Tai was heading northwest and not escaping from the battlefield, he was not in a hurry to pursue them. Now they  Once Geng Zhongming is eliminated, he will turn around and attack Tan Tai from all directions.  "Come on, come and fight the Southern bandits!" Tan Tai did not rush to escape, but commanded more than 3,000 Qing troops under his command to set up an ambush in Sikong Mountain in Taihu County, preparing to fight Lu Renqing to the death A fierce battle  After that, Tan Tai dragged his tired and heavy body and the remnants of less than a thousand people on his way to break out again.  This battle was considered a draw. The Qing army suffered more casualties, but they finally drove back Lu Renqing. With more than 3,000 defeated soldiers, Tan Tai was able to fight the battle like this, which is considered a minor miracle.  , after the battle, Tan Tai received news that Wang Jinbao, the fourth general in Hexi, was in Qianshan County not far away, so he led his troops to Qianshan, intending to join Wang Jinbao.  A few days ago, all he wanted was to die, but after this fierce battle on the edge of life and death, his desire to survive became extremely strong. There was no way, human nature was so complicated and full of contradictions. After the passage of time, Tan Tai now wanted to break out.  , and found a high-sounding reason for himself. He still had less than a thousand Qing troops under his command. Regardless of the Eight Banners soldiers or the Green Camp soldiers, they were all warriors loyal to our Qing Dynasty. They could not die here in vain, so he  They can't die just yet, they must be taken back to Beijing.  He led his troops towards Qianshan. He thought he could reach the distance of dozens of miles with just a few steps, but not far after he walked out, he encountered two main Chu army troops. If Tan Tai hadn't seen the opportunity early, he would not only have killed himself  He put the flag away and evaded in time. He must have been easily wiped out by the two Chu armies.  He hid his troops in a remote river fork and sent scouts to inquire about the news. The scouts quickly reported that a main force of more than 20,000 people was besieging Qianshan County. Wang Jinbao fell into a tight siege and defended Qianshan County, but there was no food or grass outside.  Without rescuers, the Clay Bodhisattva is crossing the river and cannot save himself.  You can¡¯t go to Qianshan!  Tan Tai turned to the northeast, staying day and night, heading towards the Huoshan area. From this direction, he entered the mountainous area on the edge of the Dabie Mountains. Although the mountain roads were difficult to travel, it was easy to hide his tracks. Tan Tai's good luck came into play again.  Leading this small Qing army of several hundred people forward, they did not encounter any pursuit or interception by the Chu army. Seeing Huoshan in the distance, and encountering a defeated Qing army, they realized that the Chu army had captured Huoshan.  He also defeated Zhao Liangdong, the bravest of the four generals in Hexi, and was hunting down the remaining Qing troops.  Turn around quickly!  Tan Tai's original plan was to head north from Huoshan and evacuate to Hefei via Luzhou Prefecture. Since Huoshan had been lost, they could only turn southeast again and re-enter Anqing Prefecture. However, they had just walked out of the mountainous area and had been searching for Tan Tai's whereabouts.  Lu Renqing's subordinates chased him and had a fierce battle by the diving river, killing Tan Tai to death, which was regarded as revenge.  Tan Tai suffered two stab wounds on his body and his left arm was hit by a fire gun, but he miraculously escaped again and ran to the vicinity of Tongcheng with dozens of Eight Banners cavalry. By chance, he heard about Tunbuer's whereabouts.  After Bu'er led his troops to break through, after many twists and turns, he finally joined forces with Sun Sike, one of the four generals in Hexi, and then retreated while fighting, all the way to Tongcheng, and then was surrounded by the Chu army in Tongcheng, unable to fly "Wu Sangui  This old thief should be killed!" Tan Tai was filled with indignation and rage.  Tongcheng is located in the northernmost part of Anqing Prefecture, not far from Hefei. The Chu army was able to surround Tongcheng so calmly without worrying about being attacked by Wu Sangui from Hefei. This can only prove one thing. Wu Sangui, who is on both ends of the scale, once again chose  By standing still and watching Tan Tai and Tuen Bu'er being surrounded, and watching the four Hexi generals who actively rescued them being defeated, they might have secretly reached some kind of deal with the Chu army.  In order to expose the ugly face of Wu Sangui, the great "pure traitor", Tan Tai did not enter Tongcheng, but took a long detour and climbed over three streets.When the mountains entered Luzhou Prefecture, there were originally several thoroughfares to the north of Tongcheng, but the pass points along the way were all controlled by the Chu army. Tan Tai and his party had no choice but to cross mountains and ridges, and suffered a lot.  After crossing the Triangle Mountain, we avoided the Beixia Pass, Lengshuiguan and other checkpoints. Due to falling behind and sporadic fighting, Tan Tai's Qing army only had more than thirty people left. They also lost all their horses when crossing the mountains.  The cavalry turned into infantry, but no matter what, they finally returned to the area controlled by the Qing army. Tan Tai and others climbed over the Triangle Mountain and headed straight to Shucheng County. The dawn of escape was ahead.  Suddenly, the horn sounded, and groups of Ming soldiers rushed out from the woods and rushed towards Tan Tai and others. These Ming soldiers were in ragged clothes and had miscellaneous weapons. Many of them were holding bamboo guns and farm tools. They were obviously not soldiers.  Regular troops, but clearly flying the red flag of the Ming army.  "The bandits are coming, Marshal, let's go!" Tan Tai's guards shouted anxiously. Judging from the flags, these Ming troops belonged to a local anti-Qing force. They were a standard ragtag group, more numerous than the Yuyuan Army.  Not as good, but there are too many of them, thousands of them. Tan Tai's side only has more than thirty people, and they are all exhausted infantry.  "No need to run, I can't run." Tan Tai pulled out his saber and stood on the spot ready to fight. Seeing the Ming army on the opposite side getting closer and closer, he suddenly sighed to the guards on the left and right: "Oh, there are too many Han people. We will never kill them."  It's not over, maybe we shouldn't have entered the border in the first place. "If in normal times, such rebellious words would have caused great disaster, let alone talk, even listen, but at this moment, all the Eight Banners soldiers around Tan Tai were silent.  , there was a look of loss and confusion on his face, yes, if he had known this result earlier, wouldn¡¯t he have lived a good life if he had stayed outside the customs?  Before they could think about it, those Ming troops had already rushed up in groups. Tan Tai and the thirty or so Qing troops were drowned in the crowd in an instant When the crowd dispersed, Tan Tai had fallen into a pool of blood, his head  He was smashed to pieces with a hoe and died a very tragic death.  After the Eight Banners soldiers entered the customs, the quality of the troops declined rapidly. In fact, in another time and space, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered the southern provinces, the Eight Banners soldiers were no longer useful. They relied entirely on traitors such as Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, and the Four Generals of Hexi.  The army conquered the world. In this time and space, the elite Eight Banners soldiers were left in places such as Huguang and Nanzhili by Luck Dehun, Jierhalang and others, which accelerated the process. Tan Tai's 30,000 Eight Banners soldiers  In fact, it is already a second-rate army, especially lacking in resilience when the war situation is unfavorable. It was defeated, divided, surrounded, and eliminated by the Chu army After the Anqing War, the Qing army was almost completely wiped out. Tan Tai, Tuen Buer and other Qing troops  Most of the generals died in the battle, except for the cunning Geng Zhongming who escaped alone. In addition, Wang Jinbao, one of the four Hexi generals, also died in the rebellion. Sun Sike was captured. Zhao Liangdong led the remaining troops to flee to Fei. Zhang Yong retreated in time and the losses were relatively small.  After Zhao Liangdong fled back to Fei, he was quickly detained by Wu Sangui, who labeled him as disobeying military orders and being unfavorable in combat. On the night of being imprisoned, he suddenly died suddenly. All the troops were recruited by Wu Sangui, who immediately gave him to Beijing.  They sent envoys at the same time as Nanjing. While bargaining with Dorgon, they also confessed to Wang Kefan and prepared to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.  PS: This book will be finished soon, and then I will start the next book.
