Chapter 12 From the north and the south, the anti-Qing situation is very good!

Jiang Xiang's three betrayals played a role in shocking the world. The first betrayal of the Ming Dynasty allowed Li Zicheng to quickly advance eastward. Chongzhen had no time to escape, causing the Ming Dynasty to perish; the second betrayal of Li Zicheng caused Li Zicheng to lose Shanxi and eventually lost Xi'an; this third betrayal of the Qing Dynasty also allowed all parts of the Central Plains to fight against the Qing Dynasty together, and the entire anti-Qing situation improved.

However, it was Jiang Xiang who did a good thing. His anti-Qing Dynasty made Zhang Biwu find benefits in this incident.

When Zhang Biwu heard that Jiang Xiang had successfully raised an anti-Qing banner in Datong, he couldn't help but be extremely happy. He eagerly inquire about Jiang Xiang's situation.

The Ming Dynasty abolished Bian means that Wan Liancheng, a military officer who was dismissed from the court, revolted in Datong. He attacked Pianguan, and Jiang Xiang took Wan Lian as the Path of Pianguan. Ningwu, Kelan and Baode were successively lost. Jiang Xiang took Liu Qian as the position of left general, and attacked Yanmen Pass, Daizhou, Fanzhi, Wutai and other towns, and Taiyuan claimed the alarm.

Shanxi Governor Zhu Shichang, guerrilla general Gao Guosheng, and Mongolian Lord Ai immediately sent people to ask for troops from Ajige.

It turned out that Gao Ding, a bandit who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, also rose again and supported the uprising in Datong. In the southwest of Shanxi Puzhou to the west bank of the Yellow River, Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Li Qisheng, General Feng Ruhuan and others responded to the news. They established King Han, and were named the 280,000 army under the Yongli period of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Xiang still remembered his alliance with Zhang Biwu. According to the original plan, he used Chen Du, Zhang Douguang and Niu Guangtian to reach the southeast of Jin. Chen Du, Zhang Douguang and Zhang Biwu were attacking Zezhou together, and Niu Guangtian to capture prefectures and counties in southeast of Jin.

When Zhang Biwu heard the news, he was very happy, but he didn't want Jiang Xiang to occupy the prefectures and counties in southeastern Shanxi to take over. He wanted to occupy these territories and expand his strength. At the same time, he could ensure that he would either go east to Beijing or west to Shaanxi.

Therefore, after Zhang Biwu declared that Jiang Xiang would send troops to fight with him, he occupied all the prefectures and counties in southern Shanxi from Jiezhou to Lingchuan.

When the army in Puzhou and other places heard that Zhang Biwu's army had entered Jiezhou, they also sent people to contact Zhang Biwu and expressed their willingness to obey the command of Wuwei Hou. Of course, what they said might not be true, they just wanted to form a strong support alliance. In fact, Yu Yin and Han Zhaoxuan would still do their own affairs, and they were all thinking about themselves.

When the people of Zezhou heard about the Datong Uprising, Jin and Shaanxi raised troops in response. Ajige had no choice but to deal with it. Of course, they would not die foolishly. The Qing army in Zezhou also retreated to Taiyuan to protect Taiyuan City with death.

Zhang Biwu entered Zezhou City and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Haha! Nine Olds, you played this move so well! Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Mongolian Khalkha all raised their troops together! Now Dorgon's butt is burned! But he is busy! The current situation is extremely beneficial to me!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and also reminded Zhang Biwu: "Marty, I want to tell you clearly that although the situation is good now, it cannot be relaxed. Dorgon will never let the matter spread. He first wants to put out Jiang Xiang, who was rebelling, and maybe he will only build defensive measures against our army. He will also gather a large number of troops to go to Shanxi. We don't have many troops, and it is impossible to divide the troops. Even if we divide the troops, we can't defend even if we occupy a vast territory!"

This sentence happened to be what Zhang Biwu thought. He was worried that Dorgon's army would be dispatched. How should Dorgon fight Dorgon at that time? The important thing is to protect Jiang Xiang? How to protect this?

"Urgent Tang Report!" Hou Qi came quickly, and Zhang Biwu took the Tang Report from Hou Qi. When he saw it, he was shocked because Li Zicheng was about to move again, and he wanted to do bad things behind Zhang Biwu.

Zhang Biwu knew that Li Zicheng was unwilling to occupy Shanxi, and his power expanded rapidly. If Zhang Biwu really divided his troops to capture Shanxi or entered Shaanxi, he would have to worry that Li Zicheng would set a fire in his backyard, and maybe Henan would be lost.

Zhang Biwu crumpled the paper from the Tang newspaper into a ball and said hatefully: "This Li Zicheng! Such a good opportunity is because of him, which made me miss it! Damn it!"

If you hate each other, you can't do anything about Li Zicheng. Now you have to see how Dorgon is doing.

As soon as Dorgon received an urgent report from Ajige, he was shocked when he learned that the situation in Shanxi had changed drastically. In the court, people were just talking about you, and I discussed the matter of Datong Jiang Xiang's uprising and causing chaos.

People in the court all said that Shanxi and Datong are close to Beijing, if there is any loss here, Beijing will be in danger. The most important thing is that Beijing is not the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not easy for them to defend Beijing.

Even Gansu, Jifu, Shandong and other places were bandits rising up. For a moment, the Qing Dynasty's rule became shaky.

Everyone was sighing. Faced with this crisis, no one could come up with a good way to overcome the difficulties.

The little emperor Shunzhi couldn't sit steadily, and he said, "Then, do we want to return to Liaodong in the east..."

Even the emperor said this, and the other ministers were silent. They knew that Zhang Biwu and Jiang Xiang had joined forces, and that there was also changes in Shaanxi, which was even more difficult.

Dorgon glared at Shunzhi with great dissatisfaction, thinking that Shunzhi was too disappointed by him! How could he be so weak? When you encounter a little difficulty, do you think about returning to your hometown in Liaodong? There is everything in Beijing that is now fought to the death! You must never retreat!

"Report! Guangdong urgently reported! Guangdong urgently reported!" The feather cavalry came up quickly. Dorgon looked at him, wanting to know what urgent report it was.

The Yuqi said: "Not good! Li Chengdong has rebelled! He attacked and killed the governor Tong Yangjia in Guangzhou! Now all the soldiers and all the places in Guangdong have surrendered to the pseudo-Yongli!"

"Ah!" The Qing ministers were shocked! The situation in the north changed drastically, which actually caused the situation in the south to change! There were changes in the north and south, and the Qing Dynasty was really difficult to deal with!

The civil and military officials were whispering, and they didn't know what to do. One or two were shaking their heads and sighing! Faced with the current situation, they couldn't come up with an idea.

Dorgon could only look at Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, who had been transferred back from Jiangnan.

Fan Wencheng said: "The situation in Datong is much more important than anything else! Li Chengdong can deal with him later! The pseudo-Yongli has no ambitions, so it is not difficult to destroy it! You can start to prevent Zhang Biwu's power from expanding to Shanxi! It is necessary to let Li Zicheng stab Zhang Biwu in the back, and this is the best!"

Hong Chengchou also said: "Yes! Now all parts of Shanxi are not captured by Zhang Biwu. The reason is that Li Zicheng will attack Zhang Biwu at any time behind him! Zhang Biwu's troops in Shanxi are 30,000, and his troops in Henan are 100,000. Perhaps he has reserve troops, and the troops may reach 200,000, but he still has to be on guard against Li Zicheng. This seems to be insufficient!"

"And at least 200,000 people are chaotic! One hundred thousand are elite soldiers! This is why he dared not seize Shanxi with all his might! It is the best way to provoke Li and Zhang's relationship! At the same time, quickly extinguish the rebellions in Datong and various places! Prince Yu and Qin Governor Meng Qiaofang are in charge, and the rebellion in Shaanxi will be pacified soon! But Datong Jiang Xiang is tricky!"

When Dorgon heard what they said, he understood, and said, "Don't worry! Jiang Xiang will not be arrogant for long!"

Dorgon turned to Shunzhi and said, "Emperor, as the regent of the emperor's father, I will lead my troops to attack and destroy Jiang Xiang! I must quickly defeat him! At the same time, I will also find a part of the troops to suppress Zhang Biwu! Because of this situation, all our Qing Dynasty troops will be recruited! This is related to whether our Qing Dynasty can gain a foothold in the Central Plains and whether the country captured can be preserved!"

"Ah!" The ministers were shocked. Dorgon was going to take action himself! If he went out, he would add great confidence to suppress the rebellion! Moreover, he would use all the power that the Qing Dynasty could use now.

Dorgon also said: "I will send Jiang Xiang a letter first. If he can accept my persuasion and surrender to my Qing Dynasty, I can stop him for the time being! When the time is right, I will kill him again! This is also a polite first and then military force!"

The ministers then agreed, and they all praised Dorgon. Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou and asked Hong Chengchou to go with him. With Hong Chengchou here, he finally had one more person who praised military affairs.

Hong Chengchou found Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei was the one who was captured in Songjin battle. Now Hong Chengchou sent Jiang Fei to tell him that it would be best to persuade Jiang Xiang to surrender. If he couldn't persuade him to surrender, he would also look at Datong's defensive ability. Even if he couldn't know it, as long as he could find out a little, it would be good.

Jiang Fei took the order and went to persuade Jiang Xiang to surrender. Jiang Xiang was not a fool. He knew that once the flag was raised, he would have no way to turn around, and he could only follow this path of no return.

He thought of being in Wang Pu's position with Jiang Fei, and everyone was in love. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for Jiang Fei's sake, but now he will no longer be like before, so that Jiang Fei will leave quickly, otherwise it will be detrimental to him.

Jiang Fei had to leave. When he left, he immediately rushed to Taiyuan. He wanted to set up defenses in cities near Taiyuan to defend themselves and prevent Zhang Biwu from going north to support Jiang Xiang.

An urgent report also came from Zhang Biwu, saying that Dorgon issued an edict to summon troops everywhere, and that he wanted to take all the belongings of the Qing Dynasty and insisted on destroying Jiang Xiang first to determine the situation of Datong.

The Qing Dynasty set up a solid line of defense in the Taiyuan Prefecture area to guard against Zhang Biwu's army's advance north.

If Zhang Biwu wants to go north, he can only have one thing to do, and concentrate all his strength, but now Li Zicheng is ready to move. Li Zicheng doesn't want Zhang Biwu's strength to rise sharply, which is restraining Zhang Biwu's army.
