Tengchong is located in the southwest of Yongchang, more than 200 kilometers away. Historically, it was the hub of the ancient Southwest Silk Road. Due to its important geographical location, heavy troops were stationed in the past dynasties. The city was built during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty and reinforced during the Jingtai period. The city walls are fully
It is made of huge rocks, with a circumference of seven miles and three points, with a maximum height of two feet and five feet. The tower is four feet high and is unusually tall. It is called "the first city on the edge".
There are more than 2,000 people in Wu San Province's headquarters, but nearly half are the wives and family members of Li Dingguo's generals. It is not surprising to conclude that the remaining army is not organized and the Mengshan Ke people are not accustomed to fighting. Gao Wengui's troops have
More than 3,000 people retreated here after the Battle of Mopanshan. He made what he thought was the safest suggestion based on the strength of Tengchong City, which was of course understandable.
It’s just that Zhu Yongxing neither wanted to fight the invading Qing army in an upright manner; nor did he want to defend the isolated city and fall into passivity. Defending Tengchong but not fighting in Tengchong. Zhu Yongxing would meditate on the battles of the past and present when he was free every day, and look at the tourist map
After planning and planning, we have initially formulated such a plan.
Of course, this is just talk on paper, and Zhu Yongxing is also worried about this. He needs corrections and suggestions from veteran generals such as Gao Wengui, Wu Sansheng, and Wu Zisheng. In terms of total military strength, the Nanming army does not have the upper hand, and it is divided into various ministries. If they cannot unify their opinions, they can work together.
Working together, Zhu Yongxing would rather not fight this battle.
As for whether the Qing army can come, Zhu Yongxing is only 50% sure. He hopes that he will be tough enough, the target is big enough, and the name of the clan is threatening enough; he also hopes that the Qing army will be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and Zhang Yong will be greedy for success.
Analyzing the overall situation, Zhu Yongxing felt that it was not a good idea to lead the Mengshan Croats to rush to Annan. He was worried that Annan would be jointly attacked by the Qing armies of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. However, stirring up trouble in western Yunnan would give the Nanming army something to lose.
If he cheers up and strengthens his military strength, he may be able to contain the Qing army in Yunnan Province, so that he only has to face the pressure from Guangxi in Gaoping, Annan.
He was really eager to win a victory against the Qing army! Although the troops were still insufficient. Regarding this, Zhu Yongxing was somewhat helpless at the actual situation, and also looked forward to a confrontation with the so-called famous ancient generals. But now is not the time to ask Gao Wengui and
When the three provinces of Wu came together to come up with the plan, he still needed some intelligence confirmation, he also needed the remaining Nanming army to rest better, and he also needed the Mengshan tribe to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the combat area as soon as possible.
……………
Wuhua Mountain in the northwest corner of Kunming City and Yongli's palace have not yet undergone large-scale expansion by Wu Sangui, but the Nanming army took the initiative to withdraw. Without the war, the building is still gorgeous and spectacular. In the back garden, spring water is introduced into the garden.
The water channel is like a flowing green belt, with towers built on both sides of the water flow, and bridges built in the sky like rainbows connecting the buildings on both sides.
However, what was disturbing the scenery at this time was that two great traitors, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, were discussing secretly in a pavilion beside the clear water in this picturesque scenery.
This time the Qing government deployed troops to Yunnan and Guizhou. Although it was a three-pronged march, the First Army under the personal command of Sangui played an important role. Especially when advancing to Yunnan, Sangui led the way and undertook the combat tasks on the main battlefield. Together with Li Dingguo's elite
He launched a fierce battle, charged into the battle, and won the first victory. The court rewarded him, so of course it was no problem. But as the tide rose, Wu Sangui's desire continued to expand with time, and he was working to inherit the position of the Mu family in Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty.
"The strategy shows that the roads outside the border areas are difficult and dangerous, the miasma is difficult to prevent, and the Manchurian generals are not adapted to the climate here. Ningnan Jingkou General Luotuo, Anyuan Jingkou General Duni, and Southern Conquest General Zhao Butai and other
I hope that the troops will return to Beijing to rest as soon as possible, and the imperial court also intends to mobilize the troops from Gansu and Shaanxi. If the Yunnan incident repeats, the bandits will be at risk!" Wu Sangui said with a frown.
Wu Sangui, who is in his fifties, has a face with regular features, fair complexion, heroic eyebrows, and a pair of slightly sunken eyes shining with wisdom. Only the slightly gray beard and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes indicate that he has reached the age of destiny.
Years old, but the majestic and heroic spirit is still there. If there is any flaw on his face, it is that there is a red scar across the bridge of his nose.
"Chang Bo, I understand what you mean." Hong Chengchou nodded slightly and said slowly: "The opinion of the Ministry of War is that Doni will go to Gushan Ezhen Yidelius to stay in Kunming, the provincial capital, with Chang Bo as the commander-in-chief.
Mainly composed of Han troops and green battalion soldiers, together with Gushan'er Zhenzhuoluo and a small number of Manchu soldiers, they marched into Burma to capture the puppet emperor Yongli."
"Jingsuo, this proposal is not appropriate." Wu Sangui said hurriedly: "The people of Yunnan Province are undecided. Chieftains from all walks of life and the remaining soldiers of the puppet camp privately received fake letters and seals, established alliances with blood, and started provocations. If I hear that the soldiers are marching west,
To pursue, we must all think wildly, avoid the real situation and exploit the weak, so as to rush back to the interior. At that time, the pursuing and suppressing soldiers were far apart and could not look back, and the Yunnan soldiers were stationed in the provincial capital and could not pursue them far away. The disaster was not small. "
Hong Chengchou smiled faintly and said: "I have gone to the imperial court and said that Yunnan has been devastated to the extreme. The war is burning and the country is in danger. Food and rice are so expensive that there is no way to buy supplies. There are many chieftains and they are inconsistent. They only follow the trend of profit, just like our soldiers.
Don't move, rebel against the party, pretend to be eternal, and call on the barbarians inside and outside, baiting them with high nobility and high salary. Once they are incited, swarms will appear everywhere. This problem is at the elbow and armpit. You must first have a plan for internal security, and then you can suppress it externally.
picture."
"If you have a great talent in economics, if you hit the mark, the court will definitely adopt it." Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief and complimented.
Hong Chengchou gave Wu Sangui a meaningful look. Didn't he know what Wu Sangui was thinking, which was to wait and see the court's arrangements before making a decision. The Manchu soldiers were not accustomed to the soil and would have to leave sooner or later. This land of Yunnan could not rely on Wu Sangui's soldiers.
He will not be able to do so. If he pursues and defeats the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, Wu Sangui will naturally worry that the Qing court will run out of birds and the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked. For the time being, let go of the remnants of the Nan Ming army who have fled to the border chieftains and are just the embers of the fire.
A thief's self-respect strategy.
"Although it is not possible to raise an army on a large scale, the eldest uncle cannot ignore the fact that the fake Min prince entered Yunnan!" Hong Chengchou frowned slightly and said earnestly: "The eternal history of Myanmar is like the bones in the tomb. It is not very important. This fake left behind
I have some courage and dare to go out of Burma and enter Yunnan, and raise the royal flag in Tengyue. With this hope, chieftains from all walks of life and the remaining soldiers of the puppet camp will surely gather together, so we must not let them become powerful!"
"It's just a lie and a desperate struggle." Wu Sangui didn't seem to care much about this, and sneered: "There are only more than two thousand barbarian soldiers who are not accustomed to fighting formations, plus more than two thousand broken soldiers of the puppet prince Wu Zisheng, they are very courageous.
There is no need to worry about those who are fleeing for their lives. I have sent orders to Yongchang and Zhang Yong to lead the army to attack quickly. They will be destroyed in a day or night."
