?In fact, Shang Yi didn't take these old ministers in the Southern Ming Dynasty to heart. He said that it was just a temporary sentence to keep them in check. After the country stabilized, he would let them go. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to keep them in check. It would be too unprofitable.

At this time, the sixth year of the Later Ming Dynasty, and in the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1650), all the troops on the front line of the southern battlefield were almost rested. The United Front Work Department also believed that the second phase of the battle could be carried out.

However, the situation of the war changed at this time. The remaining troops of the Daxi Army in Yunnan were recruited by the Yongli court, and officially joined the Yongli court, becoming enemies with the Chinese army.

It turned out that after Zhang Xianzhong died in Sichuan, the Great Western Army, under the leadership of Zhang Xianzhong's wife Chen, Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling, and several adopted adopted descendants Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, collected the remaining troops of the Great Western Army, reorganized the team, led the army out of southern Sichuan, and first entered the Guizhou area from southern Sichuan, gaining a rare breathing time.

At this time, the leadership of the Daxi Army was divided. During the rest period in Guizhou, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others also carefully reflected on Zhang Xianzhong's actions, believing that the Daxi Army could not kill people randomly and massacre cities like Zhang Xianzhong in the future, and should focus on winning the hearts of Long people. Chen and Wang Zhaoling still advocated the policy of random killing.

As a result, Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu jointly killed Chen and Wang Zhaoling, thus forming a system where three people collectively led the Western Army. Among these three, Sun Kewang was the oldest, and his original status and prestige were higher than the other two, so he became the main leader among the three. However, major matters were decided by the three people.

After the internal purging, the three men also ordered the army to strictly order that they would not kill people unless they fought. This also caused the Daxi Army to have a new atmosphere. During the period in Guizhou Province, the Daxi Army was basically able to do nothing.

However, Guizhou's people were poor and barren, and they were attacked from both sides, so they were not a place to build a base, so the three of them were also looking for a place to build a foundation. At this time, the chieftain of Shiping, Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, invited the Daxi Army to enter Yunnan and help him quell the rebellion.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen (1639), Zhang Xianzhong was recruited by the Ming Dynasty and stationed in Gucheng, Hubei for more than half a year. At that time, Long Zaitian was transferred to the mainland by the Ming court, and quelled the rebellion in Huguang and Henan. In terms of fame, he was Zhang Xianzhong's boss. For strategic reasons, Zhang Xianzhong once worshipped Long Zaitian as his adoptive father and obtained horses and weapons from him. Therefore, the generals under Zhang Xianzhong at that time had relatively close contact with Long Zaitian's Yunnan army.

Later, Long Zaitian was transferred back to Yunnan. At this time, the local chieftain in Yunnan, Shadingzhou, raised troops to cause chaos. Long Zaitian was defeated by the rebels in Shadingzhou and ran to Dali to hide. He heard that the remaining troops of the Daxi Army occupied Guizhou, so he immediately sent someone to inform the Daxi Army with a secret letter, asking the Daxi Army to enter Yunnan and help him quell the rebellion.

As a result, the combat effectiveness of the Daxi Army was of course incomparable to that of the Chinese Army, and it was not as good as the Sichuan Army of the Qing Army or Wu Sangui, but it was more than enough to compare with the rebels of Shadingzhou. After entering Yunnan, it quickly defeated the rebels of Shadingzhou and occupied Kunming. It also reached an agreement with Yang Weizhi, the general of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo: First, do not use the Daxi era name; second, do not kill people; third, do not burn the house, ** girl. The two sides worked together and quickly occupied the entire Yunnan territory in less than a year, and captured and killed Shadingzhou.

After unifying Yunnan, Sun Kewang called himself the King of Pingdong, appointed Liu Wenxiu as the King of Funan, Ai Nengqi as the King of Dingbei, and was appointed as the official position. Yang Weizhi was appointed as the bachelor of Huaying Palace and the left censor of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the People's Republic of China, Yan Sizu, the former general of the Daxi Army, was the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites, Wang Yinglong as the Minister of Works, Ding Xukun as the Minister of Revenue, served as the Deputy Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Ma Zhaoxi as the Academy, and Zhang Hu as the Jinyiwei. However, he did not have the founding of the State.

Then Sun Kewang and others were careful in Yunnan. In the past three years, the entire Yunnan area was generally calm. They neither fought with the Qing army nor had too much contact with the Southern Ming regime. They were basically in a relatively closed state. Due to the correct and proper policy measures, the social stability of Yunnan region and rapid recovery of production, the Western Army's rule over Yunnan became increasingly stable, and its strength had been greatly enhanced. It was stronger than when Zhang Xianzhong was in Sichuan, and Ju said that the total force could reach 300,000.

However, Yunnan is not a paradise after all. Sun Kewang and others also know that whether it is the Ming army, Qing army, or the Chinese army, once it gains power, it will inevitably lead to attack Yunnan. In this chaotic era, it is impossible to stay out of it. Sooner or later, it will be involved in the turbulent and future. Therefore, while Sun Kewang and others are also managing Yunnan, they did not forget to inquire about the situation outside and look for opportunities to actively participate.

The first thing Sun Kewang and others thought of was to cooperate with the Yongli court closest to him. Because Yunnan was too remote after all, the Daxi Army could only get information from Guizhou and Guangxi areas, and could not fully grasp the general trend of the world at this time. His knowledge of the situation of the Nanjing government was extremely limited. In the eyes of Sun Kewang and others, Shang Yi was just like him, a separatist force that monopolized the one-sided power, but he occupied the Yangtze River area and the Ming Dynasty also represented orthodoxy. In addition, the former Ming minister of Yunnan, Yang Weizhi and Mu Tianbo also tried his best to persuade Sun Kewang to establish the Yongli court and send troops to help.

Therefore, in the fifth year of Later Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the sixth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1649), Sun Kewang sent Yang Weizhi as an envoy to Guilin to submit a letter to the Yongli court, and presented twenty taels of southern gold, four pieces of amber, and four horses to show his goodwill. However, he also asked the Yongli court to grant himself the King of Qin.

However, at that time, the Yongli court owned Guangxi and Guizhou provinces, with more than 100,000 troops and horses, and the momentum was pretty good. Both Wu and Chu parties opposed the recruitment of Sun Kewang, so the matter was left unresolved. But a few months later, the Chinese army sent troops southward. The Yongli court was defeated and abandoned Guangxi and fled to Guizhou. Most of the troops were lost. Wu Sangui fled to Sichuan again. So at this time, people reiterated the old sayings and suggested that the Yongli court recruit the Daxi Army to resist the Chinese army.

The Yongli court was desperate at this time, so he had to treat the dead horse as a living horse, and sent Guizhou Governor Qian Bangqi to contact the Daxi Army, officially recruited the Daxi Army, and also named Sun Kewang Duke of Jingguo, named Chaozong, Liu Wenxiong Marquis, and named Ruoqi; Ainengqian Marquis, and named Shi Tai.

In this way, the Western Army finally participated in the disputes around the world, just like another time and space.

Shang Yi did not care much about this. After defeating the Yongli court and recapturing Guangxi, Shang Yi also expected that the Daxi Army might participate. After all, at this time, the war had expanded to the Yunnan border, and the Daxi Army could not be out of the matter anymore. In another time and space, the Daxi Army left Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty, which was a key moment in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Starting from 1650, the Daxi Army went to Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan to defeat the Qing army several times. Although it ultimately failed to stop the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it did achieve many brilliant results and became the main force in the resistance to the Qing Dynasty in the late Southern Ming Dynasty, which made the Yongli Court, which was originally difficult to help at that time, lasted for more than ten years.

However, Shang Yi did not think that the current Daxi Army could replicate the achievements in another time and space. First of all, the Chinese army was not the Qing army, and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Qing army. After all, the Daxi Army was still a traditional army with pure cold weapons. Their combat effectiveness would never exceed the level of another time and space. Secondly, the Chinese army's civilian base was much better than that of the Qing army. When the Qing army fought with the Daxi Army, the rule of Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi was unstable, and now Hunan and Jiangxi have become Although the Chinese army had just occupied the stable rear, Guangdong and Guangxi, they had basically restored order. With the financial resources and sufficient materials of the Nanjing government, it was much stronger than the Qing army at the other time. Another point was that Shang Yi took action early and poached Li Dingguo. In another time and space, Li Dingguo's role in the late Southern Ming Dynasty was very important. After the Daxi Army left Sichuan, most of the brilliant achievements were made by Li Dingguo, and now Li Dingguo is a general of the Chinese army.

Based on these factors, Shang Yi believed that the Great Western Army was not worth worrying about, and the danger to the Chinese army was not as good as that of Wu Sangui's Sichuan Army. First of all, Wu Sangui was also one of the few famous generals of this era. Moreover, the Sichuan Army was formed based on the Guanning Army, and its original combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Qing army. Now it is equipped with a large number of muskets and cannons, which is in a state of development towards the modern military model. In addition, Sichuan's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has abundant resources and can also provide sufficient logistical support for Wu Sangui.

Therefore, in Shang Yi's view, this military force caused by his butterfly effect is his biggest enemy at present. In the second phase of the battle in the south, Shang Yi's plan was to attack Sichuan first and then Yunnan.

Although this strategy does not match Shang Yi's combat principle of fighting first and then powerful enemies, the most taboo thing in war is to copy and talk about war on paper. As the saying goes, soldiers change with the trend, and any combat principle and tactical thinking are not static, but should be flexibly used.

Yunnan is hanging in a corner of the southwest, and its location is remote, making it difficult to have an impact on the overall situation of China. Therefore, it can be put aside for the time being and ignore it. Wu Sangui is located in Sichuan with Guanzhong in the north and Yunnan and Guizhou in the south, and is located directly on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. He can attack the two lakes, and the north and south can join forces with the Qing court and Yongli to destroy the important land. Therefore, first conquering Sichuan can completely cut off the connection between the north and the south. In the next step, whether it is entering Guanzhong and conquering Yunnan and Guizhou, he can back to Sichuan and get material support from Sichuan.

Another point is that the so-called strength and weakness are actually relatively speaking. Compared with the Chinese Army, whether it is the Sichuan Army or the Daxi Army, to put it bluntly, they are all weak enemies. Now Shang Yi is just choosing one of the two weak enemies to take action. Therefore, in this sense, it is not contrary to the combat principle of fighting the weak enemy first and then the powerful enemy.
