Historically, when the Qing army went south, Guangxi also launched a vigorous anti-Qing movement.
As far as the Han gentry is concerned, they are mainly concentrated in northern Guangxi.
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Li Yingpin was elected. He first spent all his wealth to recruit troops and went to Hunan to fight with the remnants of Li Zicheng. Facing the attack of the Qing army, all central and northern Guangxi were lost, but Li Yingpin could still stand firm in northeastern Guangxi.
The reason why Li Dingguo was able to regain Guilin and force Kong Youde to defeat and self-immolate was Li Yingpin's greatest contribution. First, Li Yingpin restrained the main force of the Qing army, leaving Guilin empty of troops; second, Li Yingpin informed Li Dingguo that
It was suggested that Li Dingguo seize the opportunity to attack Guilin.
Unfortunately, when the Qing army counterattacked, Li Dingguo was forced to withdraw, and Li Yingpin once again fought alone.
The base area established by Li Yingpin was surrounded by Qing troops from three directions, and "everyone, old or young, was killed" wherever he went.
Li Yingpin was defeated and ran away without a trace. The three sons followed their father's orders and never served in the Qing Dynasty.
In this time and space, when the Datong Army reached northeastern Guangxi, Li Yingpin also recruited troops to resist. However, there was no fighting after recruiting troops. Li Yingpin was persuaded by his former classmates to surrender. He also helped the Datong Army and recruited the entire Lingchuan County township warriors to surrender.
Team training.
Now, Li Yingpin has been transferred to Sichuan and is serving as the magistrate of Longchang County.
The scholar Chen Jingyou, whose family died in the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, also chose to lead his troops to surrender to the Datong Army under Li Yingpin's persuasion. He is currently serving as county magistrate in Liucheng, Guangxi.
The brothers Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian, members of the Ming clan, fought against the Qing Dynasty for ten years. They cooperated with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in fighting, and gained the loyalty of a large number of Zhuang and Yao forces. At this time and space, they were respected as co-leaders by the Guangxi resistance forces and formed a coalition to stop Datong.
The vanguard of the army.
After two consecutive defeats, the leader of the Yao tribe, Liao Mingyue, defected to the Datong Army. Brothers Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian were disheartened.
Just last fall, the two secretly contacted Liu Xinyu, and Liu Xinyu reported it to the Ministry of War and received personal approval from Zhao Han: Since the Zhu brothers have not done any evil and are only the nominal leaders of the Guangxi coalition, their surrender can be regarded as meritorious service. After the surrender,
, if you want to be a civil servant, you should first go to Nanjing to study for three months, and you can at least start as a county magistrate.
The Zhu brothers surrendered immediately and arrived in Nanjing at the end of this spring. The Guangxi coalition forces became scattered. So the Ministry of War ordered to capture the entire Guangxi within this year!
Zhu Minru, a military officer, surrendered the winter before last.
After this person passed the martial arts examination, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty granted him the post of general. However, he was not found to be in full position, so he probably didn't receive enough money, so he was asked to go back to his hometown and wait.
Historically, Zhu Minru spent all his wealth to recruit troops and owned the strongest cavalry unit in the Guangxi rebel army. He repeatedly made military exploits, was promoted to the general of the Guangxi Army, and wore the seal of the General of the West. When the Qing army broke into the city, Zhu Minru killed his wife and children, and burned the seal.
, took off his armor, put on the Jinxian crown and a large crimson robe, and committed suicide by committing suicide in the direction of the Nanjing court.
This year, with the expansion of the Guangxi Datong Army, Zhu Minru has been promoted to the commander of the cavalry regiment. When he surrendered, he not only disbanded more than 3,000 troops, but also donated more than 800 southwest war horses.
Zhao Han took this very seriously. Although he took away 80% of the Zhu family's land, he gave him an iron ore mining license and allowed his family to operate a salt shop in Lingui County.
Anding Town.
This town is located on the north bank of Nijiang (Hongshui River), which is twenty miles south of the later Du'an Yao Autonomous County.
The Yao leader occupied an area of hundreds of miles, with Anding Town as the core of his rule, and built a wooden city wall outside the town.
As the vanguard of the Guangxi North Route Army, Zhu Minru led the cavalry along the river. He did not set up camp at all, but rushed to the outside of the town alone, shouting at the top of his voice: "Surrender quickly, or we will crush this place!"
Missionary officer Shi Kehuai also rode up to follow, leading a group of missionaries to shout in Chinese and the local Yao language: "Listen to the people in the town, His Majesty the Emperor of Datong has accepted to marry Pan Niang of the Yao ethnic group as his concubine. Han, Yao
They are both brothers and in-laws by marriage. In Anding Town, there are Han people and Yao people. As long as they lay down their weapons and surrender, they can forget about past festivals. I went to report to Yao old man Liao Ande, and they said that the old man of Yao people, Liao Mingyue, had surrendered.
How can a small leader of the Yao tribe withstand the attack of the Datong Army?"
Not long after, Yao Lao Liao Ande appeared in person: "If I surrender, I will not ask to be chieftain, but my land will not be taken away, and it will not be enough to take away my soldiers and slaves!"
Not only do the Yao people have diverse languages, but so do their systems.
Bapaiyao, where Pan Qimei was born, implements a democratic electoral system. However, the Yao people here are ruled by a dictatorship, and the slavery system still exists.
Zhu Minru was immediately furious: "You don't know what is good or bad. You arrogantly occupied Anding Town and robbed the Han people as slaves. It is a great grace for you to surrender, but you still want to keep the local soldiers and slaves! Put the Tiger Lord
Pull out the cannon and attack the city immediately!"
The Datong Army in Sichuan and Guangxi not only has mountain troops, but the cavalry is also equipped with squatting tiger artillery.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon is a primitive mortar. It has a very light gun body and mainly shoots in a straight direction. It is very suitable for mountain and forest operations.
The range is very short, the effective range is less than 500 meters.
The squatting tiger cannon was slowly carried to the outside of the town and deployed. The missionary officer continued to shout: "Han and Yao brothers, the Datong Army is for the poor people to make decisions. You have worked hard for the Yao elders. Life or death is unpredictable, but you can get something in return."
What? As long as you surrender to the Datong Army, you will immediately be divided into households and the fields will be divided into households. There will be no heavy corvee labor or excessive taxes. This year there will be a bumper harvest in Liuzhou, and every household will have enough to eat... I don’t want you to defect. If the Datong heavenly soldiers break through the wooden wall, you can just put down your weapons. Put down your weapons.
Weapons can be used while kneeling or squatting, the Datong Army promises not to kill surrendered soldiers!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The Tiger Crouching Cannon was pulled to a distance of 300 meters, pointed at the wooden wall, and started firing continuously.
This place is under the jurisdiction of Si'en Prefecture. There are only two cities in the entire Si'en Prefecture. One is Si'en Prefecture and the other is Wuyuan (Wuming) County. There are only two city prefectures, but the actual control area is very large. But
You can imagine how remote and backward it is.
They had no artillery, let alone muskets, and their only long-range weapons were homemade bows and javelins.
Faced with the fire from the Crouching Tiger Cannon, even before the wooden walls were smashed, the defenders in the town could no longer hold on and retreated further away to take cover.
Liao Ande's son, Liao Gui, saw that he would be defeated if he continued the bombardment. He actually took advantage of the interval between artillery fires and rode out of the wooden wall and shouted in Chinese: "Wu that enemy general, if you have the guts, challenge me to a duel!"
Zhu Minru couldn't help laughing: "You are a Yao citizen, but you actually watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
Liao Gui pointed at Zhu Minru and said, "Do you dare or don't you?"
"Haha, why don't you dare?" Zhu Minru laughed, he was a serious Ming Dynasty martial arts scholar.
Liao Gui added: "If you are a hero, you are not allowed to use firearms!"
"No, no need." Zhu Minru threw the blunderbuss to his men.
Missionary officer Shi Kehuai advised: "Don't fall into the enemy's tricks. Our army has a sure chance of victory, and it is necessary to take such risks."
Zhu Minru said: "Don't worry, Old Shi, he can't hurt me yet!"
Although it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, Anding Town has a large area of flat land, located in the alluvial valley where two rivers meet. It is the distribution center for surrounding mountain products and can be considered a prosperous town in a backward area.
Zhu Minru belongs to the dragoon order. He wears no armor all over his body and only wears a helmet to protect himself from arrows. The waist knife he is equipped with is not suitable for mounted combat.
But the Yao general Liao Gui was wearing leather armor and carrying a Guangxi simple knife with a long-handled Yao hatchet in his hand.
Liao Gui must have watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too much. At this moment, his blood was boiling, and he fantasized about killing Zhu Minru, and then taking the opportunity to lead his troops to cover up the killing, and achieve a great victory that shocked Guangxi.
Of course, he also saw clearly that Zhu Minru had no armor and no weapons.
The two sides just rode their horses to confront each other, and in front of the two armies, in full view of everyone, they staged a very outrageous show of duel between generals.
Even the enemy troops defending the town who were avoiding the artillery fire ran behind the wooden wall and watched the battle through the gaps in the wooden boards. Some even climbed on the wooden wall and rode on it.
Yao Lao Liao Ande did not stop his son from fighting in a duel. He believed in his son's martial arts, but at the same time he felt that he could not hold on and could only win through such a ridiculous method.
With the help of his horse's momentum, Liao Gui raised his sword and struck out.
His simple sword is much longer than Zhu Minru's waist sword, and it has a long handle, making it easier to exert force while riding.
"when!"
At the moment when the contact was about to come into contact, Zhu Minru waved his sword and deflected Liao Gui's sword. Then he threw the sword away from his body, grabbed Liao Gui's leather armor, and took it off the horse's back.
Zhu Minru's arm strength is super strong, but it's a pity that the horse under her crotch is not strong enough.
This is just a southwest pony, which can barely bear the weight of two men. Its limbs are bent and trembling. It slows down in an emergency and is almost thrown out by the inertia.
Liao Gui was caught in a daze and had no idea what was going on.
The Ming Dynasty’s martial arts judges were so terrifying!
Zhu Minru carried the enemy general off his horse and shouted at the defenders in the town: "Surrender quickly!"
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
"The general is mighty!"
The Datong Dragoon soldiers burst into cheers, but the defenders in the town were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Before Yao Lao Liao Ande could respond, soldiers had already opened the wooden door, and Anding Town was captured without bloodshed.
A small town is nothing, but this is one of the two major transportation hubs of Si En Mansion!
Zhu Minru belonged to the vanguard, also known as the pioneer. After he occupied Anding Town, he sent people to escort the captured enemy generals back, leaving only a few people to garrison, and then led the troops across the river to the south.
Going south along the valley, there is Baishan Town (later Mashan County).
They also captured Baishan Town without any tough battle, and then occupied Qiaoli. Na Ma waited for Yao Zhuang Village and led two thousand cavalry to the outside of Sien Mansion City.
The enemy general of Si'en Mansion is actually a Han nationality military attaché.
Seeing that Zhu Minru's troops were few, he did not choose to abandon the city and flee, nor did he choose to hold on to the city. He ordered nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses to go out of the city to fight.
This guy learned from the Ming Dynasty's generals who implemented the servant system, so only a thousand servants can fight, and the rest are just local warriors who make up the numbers.
"It seems like we can fight?" missionary officer Shi Kehuai asked.
Zhu Minru smiled and said: "Where can't we fight? If we are not afraid of them fighting, we are afraid that they will abandon the city and go into the mountains. The thieves in Si'en Mansion have never suffered our losses. They don't know if they encounter the Datong army and rush into the mountains. We must take this opportunity."
, we can kill as many as we can. Once they come to their senses and all hide in the mountains, they will be in trouble."
Nearly ten thousand enemy troops advanced in formation, and the dragoons deployed their crouching cannons to fire.
After two rounds of shelling, the opponent's Xiangyong phalanx was in chaos, and only the servants could hold on.
Two thousand dragoons came forward, and after approaching twenty steps, in an extremely loose formation, they dismounted and fired a volley of fire cannons against the enemy's bows and arrows.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Mount your horse and charge into battle!"
With three consecutive fire strikes, the entire army mounted their horses and charged.
Zhu Minru waved his saber and rushed to the front alone. Before the two armies came into contact, the enemy Xiangyong had already collapsed.
Zhu Minru ignored the retreat of the local warriors and marched directly towards the enemy general's main formation. The retainers also began to flee.
The enemy general who did not deserve his life did not even have a chance to escape, so he was cut off by Zhu Minru with his sword. Two thousand dragon cavalry took advantage of the situation and occupied Sienfu City.
The two Datong armies from the north and south of Guangxi were ordered to march west together. They were all overwhelmingly powerful and quickly occupied various cities.
Unfortunately, as the fighting continued, the enemy forces in the western Guangxi area became wiser. When they saw the Datong Army, they abandoned the city and stronghold, and chose to hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla resistance.
