Chapter 105: Collapse (16)

I had never read a book, so I wanted to describe their behavior as "the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and sway knows the sincere minister", but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly couldn't think of it, and finally said "sincere love". Fortunately,

The educational level of his subordinates was basically not much different from his, and they all understood what he meant, and everyone quickly started preparations for evacuation.

However, the argument they had just now seemed like they had wronged good people - it wasn't that the Jin Palace didn't regard them as one of their own, it was that they didn't care about them at all.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dingguo realized that he could not repel the Qing army's attack on Yunnan for the time being, so he petitioned "to be fooled and move to avoid the Qing attack." On the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, he rushed back to Kunming from the front line to finalize the move with Emperor Yongli.

It only lasted six short days, less than a week. During the Anti-Japanese War, the government moved the capital to Chongqing, and it took three weeks from the decision to the departure of the first batch of people.

time, which does not include the time spent previously discussing the destination for moving the capital. In this era without cars, ships, or airplanes, a feudal dynasty actually set off in only one-third of the time. I really don’t know what to say.

The Yongli court was extremely experienced in the matter of relocation, and practice made perfect. However, the government was still so "inefficient" even though the Japanese invaders had bayonets on its back.

But in any case, in just six days, or to be precise, it was only two days from the final decision to the departure. No matter how efficient Mingting was, he could only complete the dispatch of local personnel in Kunming. Even Sun Kewang ten

The warehouses accumulated over the past years, the already countless amounts of grain and grass, and weapons and equipment were not taken into account. At most, they took some expenses for the journey and hurriedly set off on the road.

In such haste, the Ming court was unable to effectively organize the troops stationed in various places. Many of the powerful Xunzhens with heavy troops such as King Ma Jinzhong of Hanyang, Duke He Jiuyi of Guangguo, and Ma Weixing of Syria were left homeless.

As for the lords, uncles, seals, generals, deputy generals and the like, it can be said that they are everywhere, not to mention their small army of only about 300 people.

Wang Dana's troops were still making necessary preparations for departure, while Yu Youhan had already galloped away and arrived at the foot of Kunming City that night.

The army gathered in Kunming City, and he was almost regarded as a spy of the Qing army by riding alone. However, the customs clearance document on his body once again worked. Once the Ming army, which was originally at war with him, confirmed that he was Chen Kai's messenger, he immediately

Then he changed his face, wishing he could transform himself into a living person and appear in front of Li Dingguo.

"It turned out to be...ah."

Soon, Yu Youhan was sent to the Jin Palace in Kunming City. At this moment, Li Dingguo had just rested, but when he heard that Chen Kai's envoy had arrived, he put on his clothes again.

However, the middle-aged prince sitting in front of Yu Youhan at this moment, with a python robe and jade belt, was very different from what he had imagined along the way - the aura of calmness and self-respect was indeed what he expected, and even more so, even if it was

He could travel thousands of miles alone with just a sword, and even though he was a man of few people, he still felt awe in his heart. However, he could not see any high-spiritedness in Li Dingguo, which was the same as the man he knew who had killed him.

The Tatar vassal king could play mahjong for a table of mahjong. There was a huge difference in the state he should have. There was even a hint of fatigue and dejection, which made him wonder if he had seen it wrong.

"Is this the grenade that Jingcheng used in Xinhui?"

"Yes. Mr. Chen, the helmsman, said that His Highness is extremely talented, and this item should be able to help His Highness."

Chen Kai's letter clearly stated that it was a confidential letter, so Li Dingguo withdrew. The first content of the letter was to communicate with each other; the second was to report military information; and the third was to suggest that if the Qing army became stronger, Li Dingguo could escort the imperial court to Guangxi.

He will do a good job in welcoming the driver; and the fourth is the accompanying manufacturing drawing of the Guo surname bottle.

This thing was Chen Kai's magic weapon that used to destroy fortresses. Li Dingguo was quite envious of it, but he didn't have the nerve to ask for it out of feudal morality. Later he went to Anlong to rescue him, and Chen Kai gave him dozens of large-caliber guns.

Hongyi Artillery even wrote down the operating methods of the Guangdong Hongyi Artillery Team to him, but he did not give him this thing. Over time, he even forgot about it. Who would have thought that this time, Chen Kai actually

He specially sent someone to deliver him to the front of the army, which was beyond his expectation.

"It seems that Jingcheng is not optimistic about the current situation of the imperial court in Yunnan and Guizhou."

Although Li Dingguo was moved, he could not help but sigh in his heart. However, his tenacity was rare in the world, and he was by no means someone who would give up easily. In this regard, his eldest son Li Puxing was simply like him.

A replica of my youth.

The two families are related, so Chen Kai specially asked Yu Youhan to bring some Guangdong specialties, which were packed in a bag on horseback. Only this time, the man who always thanked Zheng Chenggong, Chen Kai and the Zheng family steadfastly

Gifts from other relatives were then happily taken to the back house, and the children who silently appeased his wife's homesickness were no longer there. Even Zheng Chenggong's niece and his eldest daughter-in-law also gave in after learning the news that her husband had died for the country.

Choosing to die as a husband...

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo's expression inevitably darkened a bit, but he quickly recovered and asked his guards to find his trusted subordinate Gao En who was in charge of the firearms camp overnight.

The senior officer who commanded two Ming army artillery brigades on the orders of Chen Kai during the Battle of Hui.

"The Tatars are approaching the water, and our army must set off tomorrow. Take the time to figure out how to make this grenade, and bring all the firearms craftsmen and necessary materials with you."

"The general will obey your orders!"

After Gao En left, Li Dingguo chatted with Yu Youhan for a while. He knew that Chen Kai had other plans for this person. He wanted to meet the emperor first, and the purpose was also to send a memorial asking the imperial court to move to Guangdong and Guangxi. Next, he had to

He stayed in his army. As for the time of return, it was based on Li Dingguo's defeat of the Qing army.

"At this point, it seems like he has confidence in me again."

Li Dingguo recalled his interactions with Chen Kai back then. In his impression, the guy seemed a bit unpredictable. To put it bluntly, none of them could guess what was going on in his mind. However, Chen Kai always guessed something.

, but he can always hit the mark. This time, I hope it will be as he said.

Regarding the matter of meeting the emperor, Li Dingguo asked Yu Youhan to set off tomorrow. Because Jin Weixin suddenly came to him yesterday and reported his opinions on the discussion with Ma Jixiang. He had changed his original intention of going north to Sichuan, but planned to go west first, and then

Looking for an opportunity to ambush the Qing army in the mountainous areas of western Yunnan, let Doni, Wu Sangui and others enjoy a good treatment. For this reason, Gong Yingzhen, the minister of the military department of the camp, had already set off to pursue Emperor Yongli's journey, and it was even more inconvenient for him to let Yu Youhan

He rushed to the ring with Gong Yingzhen overnight.

"It's strange why the emperor is so wary of Damu and Jingcheng."

Li Dingguo couldn't understand this matter and had no time to think about it. Early the next morning, the army set off to leave Kunming. The one who preceded them was Yu Youhan. This time, there was a guard from the Jin Palace as a guide, so there was no need to worry.

Lost his way. Moreover, according to the guard, Emperor Yongli left Kunming with his harem, civil and military officials, and their families under the escort of Pingyang Marquis Jin Tongwu on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Only five or six days had passed.
