Chapter 197 Abandonment

"The king and the Western Prefecture are both outstanding people at the moment. The two men are all elite troops under our command. In the past, they all rely on the two kings to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but now they meet each other, and their brothers and feet are slaughtering each other, and they are useless to fight against the Qing Dynasty. This relative is sad for the enemy and the enemy is happy!"

"There is a price that the army of the Western Prefecture will abandon Guangdong and Guangxi and go straight into Guizhou, and move out of the emperor before the king. In order to prevent the emperor from falling into the hands of the Western Prefecture, the king must also throw a large army into attack. Once this is the case, Hunan will be occupied by the Qing army, and the Qing army of Guangdong and Guangxi will no longer be scruples. The current situation of our army is like a small boat traveling through the wind and waves. Facing the strong storm of the Qing army, there is nowhere to hide, and there is nowhere to fight, and the boat will be destroyed at any time."

"Where will our army go? The bidding is to ask thousands of households to make a decision early. If it is late, there may be no more life!"

Qi Hao analyzed the situation of the Southern Ming Dynasty after the internal strife of Sun and Li Dingguo with his own vision and familiarity with Sun and Li Dingguo, and also put forward his opinion on where the Taiping Army trapped in the lonely city should go. It is obvious that after knowing that Li Dingguo and Sun Yaowang had no third move to advance eastward, Qi Hao had no hope for the Taiping Army trapped in the Xinhui, otherwise he would not have tactfully proposed the opinions of breaking through and running away.

The Taiping Army generals in the hall fell silent when they heard this. They thought about what Qi Hao said, but most of them looked gloomy. They obviously thought that if they really broke through the siege, how many people in the entire army could escape from the layers of encirclement of the Qing army.

Seeing that the generals were in a low morale, Duke Xiang of Song couldn't help but speak, "How could the Qi General Banner determine that Li Dingguo abandoned Guangdong and Guangxi and went straight into Guizhou, and would definitely compete with Sun Kewang for Yongli?" He was not from the Western Army. If he was born in the Western Army, he belonged to the Dongxun Li Chengdong group at that time. Therefore, in the words, there was no such respect for Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang as Qi Hao. He called him "the king" and "the western palace" and called him directly without any scruples.

Before Qi Hao could answer, the Green Camp surrendered generals. Li Fuguo, who is now a Taiping Army test, said disdain: "The Yongli in Anlong Mansion is called the Emperor, but in fact it is a puppet. At that time, the emperor still had princes, and the princes knew that there was a Emperor, but today he could not order himself. Is this emperor worth robbing him?"

This is really disrespectful. The Taiping Army is also under the banner of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Everyone responds to the Ming army. However, after Li Fuguo said such words as the emperor did not take the emperor seriously, the generals in the hall nodded and agreed, which made Qi Hao frown. However, he didn't know that Li Fuguo was originally the General General of the Green Camp, and most of the officers in the Taiping Army in the hall were either bandits or green camps. There was no serious Ming military officer. How much respect could these people get together to respect the emperor he had never seen before?

Zhou Shixiang said lightly: "The emperor is useless, but the ministers can command the princes with their emperor." He paused and shook his head and said: "Li Dingguo does not need to command the emperor to command the princes, but Sun Kewang's robbery is confirmed. Otherwise, why would he only let the emperor trap in Anlong and not take him to Guiyang? Why did the king regard himself as the king and never meet the emperor? With Li Dingguo's appearance, I am afraid that Sun Kewang wants the emperor to die as soon as possible."

The disrespect of Zhou Shixiang to Emperor Yongli and Li Dingguo in his words made Qi Hao dissatisfied. Although he was willing to live in the Taiping Army as a small general banner, he was the general of the Daxi Army in the past and was even more enthroned by the Emperor Yongli. Although Li Dingguo was alienated from him, he was the adopted son of Emperor Daxi and the King of Anxi personally granted by the Emperor Daxi. Similarly, Sun Kewang was also the adopted son of Emperor Daxi. He was also the adopted son of Emperor Daxi and Prince Jin personally granted by the Emperor Daxi. In this way, he respected the three in great respect for the feelings and reason. Even if Sun Kewang was dissatisfied with him, Li Dingguo was alienated from him, and Yongli did not know him at all.

It did not affect his respect for the three. Now, the person he served looked at the people he respected so much, and he was inevitably unhappy. But he was old after all. Seeing that none of the Taiping Army generals in the hall had a strange look on their faces, the Taiping Army captured Xinhui with the power of a single army. And under the encirclement of the Qing army, they insisted on not surrendering, and the integrity of the people in the hall were all in the wrong place. No one in the hall suffered any losses. Thinking about the king he respected, in order to fight for the emperor and the Western Prefecture, most of the unhappiness was gone, and the remaining dissatisfaction could only be held in his heart and could not be revealed in front of everyone.

Zhou Shixiang realized that his words had some influence on Qi Hao, so he turned his head and asked him: "What is King Anxi who led his army to attack Guangdong twice?" As he spoke, the three words Li Dingguo had been replaced by King Anxi's respectful title.

Zhou Shixiang's slight change made Qi Hao look much more relaxed. He said without thinking too much, "Why did the Xifu lead the army to attack Guangdong, there is not much knowledge under the bidding, but he heard from his colleagues in the army that the Xifu intends to meet with the Zheng family in Xiamen and the east and west and south Guangdong, and use the two armies to jointly recover Guangdong, and then consider the transfer after controlling the Guangdong province."

After hearing this, Zhou Shixiang thought about it. The Yongli court was established in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, but because Guangdong was in the hands of the Qing army, it was stationed in Guangxi for a long time. Now it has moved to Anlong Prefecture, Guizhou. If Li Dingguo had long been moved to Yongli and successfully seized Guangdong, then he would have really been able to move the Yongli court to Guangdong. In that case, he was in Guiyang and actually controlled Guizhou, Yunnan, and Hunan. Sun Kewang, who was a part of Guangdong, was out of reach for the Yongli court in Guangdong. Yongli could really turn it over and become a real one.

Emperor. However, it is hard to say whether Zheng Chenggong will be the main force of Yongli like Li Dingguo. The fierce struggle of the Southern Ming faction is not something that the world can imagine. The emperors will be sing, and we will sing. Compared with the party struggles that have been staged for decades in the Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties back then, I am afraid that this factional struggle will account for most. In fact, what Zheng Chenggong did in history is mostly due to the warlords who have self-respected troops, rather than the many loyal ministers and righteous men.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shixiang could only sigh secretly. After all, this matter had not been achieved, and it was useless to make more speculations. The important thing at the moment was Sun Kewang. What impact did Li Ding’s domestic strife have on the situation in Guangdong and how much impact would it have on the Taiping Army trapped in Xinhui. He said to everyone: "The intention of King Anxi is good, but it's a pity that the two attacks on Guangdong were defeated one after another, so the original plan naturally could not be realized. Sun Kewang was eyeing the emperor, and Anxi could only rely on its own troops to attack.
