Chapter 293

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Liu Bu's army here and captured him alive. It is estimated that his end will not be much better.

But in the original version, this was an absolute hero. His appearance brought great trouble to Daming. Later, he also established his own forces, occupied many big cities and established the great western country.

He was definitely an arrogant figure, which caused great trouble to the Ming Dynasty and the later Manchu Dynasty.

Whether it was the Ming dynasty or the Manchu Dynasty, he tossed a lot. It can be said that he was a great man who affected many people.

The most brilliant career of his life should be anti understanding, and then he established his own great western country, which is also a famous figure. No wonder he was so famous later.

However, after emperor Chongzhen committed suicide in the Ming Dynasty, when the Manchu and Qing entered the customs and wanted to control the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong was able to make a firm decision. He refused the solicitation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and led hundreds of thousands of troops to the north to resist the Qing Dynasty. In terms of national righteousness, he was not vague at all. Compared with many so-called good generals and famous officials, he exceeded a few blocks.

Finally, although he was killed in the war, his strong style is very tough. He is an iron blood hero.

He made his last words before going north to resist gold.

"I am also a hero. Don't leave my young son to be captured by others. You will be the son of the world in the end. The orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty has lasted for 300 years, which may not be abruptly eliminated, and it is also the will of heaven. When I die, I hurry to make it clear, not unjust."

This sentence has two meanings. One is that Zhang Xianzhong made sun hopeful as his successor. The other is that if Zhang Xianzhong was unlucky, sun hopeful would lead his troops to submit to the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming resist the Qing Dynasty. It is because of Zhang Xianzhong's words that he saved the territory of Nanming for more than ten years.

The Manchu Qing army and the Western army met in Fenghuang mountain. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong was found by the Qing army while inspecting the battlefield. As a result, he was shot dead by an arrow.

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the rest of the Daxi army moved south into Guizhou and broke Zunyi City on January 12, 1647. The Western army held a meeting here to agree on the future direction. As a result, there were contradictions between the two sides. Sun Wang, Li Dingguo and others advocated that according to Zhang Xianzhong's last words, they decided to "help Ming and wash away the thief's name anyway" and kill Wang Zhaoling, who advocated maintaining the great western country.

After that, sun Wang and Li Dingguo led their troops to occupy Guiyang, "go into Guizhou to defend" and "rest men and horses". At this time, they got a rescue letter from long Zaitian, the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that the local chieftain Sha Dingzhou was rebellious. Sun Wangwang and Li Dingguo led their troops into Yunnan to put down the rebellion. After calming Yunnan, sun expected to send envoys to Guangdong to express formal obedience to Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

When he got the imperial edict from emperor Yongli, sun Wang and others "knelt down and read tears", ordered to change the year number, respect zhengshuo and forge Yongli money. No matter whether sun Wang was false or false, at the beginning, he still actively resisted the Qing Dynasty. The rest of the Western army became the main force of the Southern Ming Dynasty, especially the headquarters of Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo led his army out of Yunnan, killed Kong Youde, king of Dingnan, and recovered the land of two prefectures and sixteen counties.

Later, the Qing Dynasty sent Prince nikan as Dingyuan's general and led the army south. Nikan is the grandson of Nurhachi. He is brave and good at fighting. He is a fierce general in the Eight Banners army of the Qing Dynasty. Li Dingguo pretended to be defeated, led nikan into the encirclement, and then killed him. Li Dingguo killed two vassal kings of the Qing Dynasty and defeated more than 100000 Qing troops. At that time, it was called "Li Dingguo's war in Guilin and Hengyang, two famous kings and the world shook".

Just when Li Dingguo won the victory of the anti Qing Dynasty, sun Xiwang's ambition further expanded and unexpectedly wanted to replace the Ming Dynasty, which caused the division within the Western army. Li Dingguo insisted on supporting Ming and defeated sun Xiwang. Sun expected to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and lead the Qing army south. Li Dingguo and others insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, but eventually lost Myanmar because of betrayal by traitors. Later, Li Dingguo was too sad and died of illness after hearing the death of Yongli emperor.

Although Zhang Xianzhong was cruel and bloodthirsty, he was not confused. After the Qing army entered the customs, he ordered his subordinates to change their strategies and help the Ming Dynasty resist the Qing Dynasty. The Daxi army led by Li Dingguo insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, which also lasted more than ten years in the Southern Ming Dynasty. In particular, his last words of preferring to die outside the wilderness rather than surrender the Qing Dynasty were more admirable and very ethical.

Of course, Liu Bu now, because he was in a hostile relationship with them, it was the end of life and death, and he also put down his admiration for each other.

And he also decided without hesitation to use each other's head to make himself stronger and more brilliant.

What Liu Bu thinks of is that there are still many good generals and famous officials in the Western army. If these people can be attracted to join his Liu family army team, they can naturally strengthen their strength and make them more powerful.

The Great Western army was brilliant at last, but they all split because of the discord between sun Wang and Li Dingguo, and finally went to defeat. However, the contradiction between the two of them was because no one could hold them down, no big man was in charge, and the donkeys naturally cheered.

It can be said that both sun Wang and Li lingguo are heroes of the moment. They are very rare talents. They are unconvinced by each other. If someone can hold them down, they can naturally make them easy to use. They are the sharpest military knives. If no one can hold them down, they will become cutting and killing each other, love each other and kill each other.

Just imagine that they took refuge in Liu Jiajun. Under the huge system, they ranked behind many generals. Where did he have any chance to do it for himself, occupy one side or love and kill each other.

Moreover, Liu Bu, when he looked at Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, he also found that these are extremely elite veterans. Regardless of their personal ability, they are not under Mi Zhu's elite family soldiers, but lack of discipline.

Therefore, these soldiers can become the most elite soldiers with a little training. They are the soldiers that any general dreams of pursuing.

According to the past practice of the Ming Dynasty, all these soldiers should be killed by them, because these soldiers are rebels, and they all participated in the capture of Fengyang, the capital of China, destroyed the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty and excavated the dragon vein. If these people fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers, they can only die.

Liu Bu thinks it's a pity that these soldiers died like this. If he can join the ranks of Liu's army, he can strengthen their strength. You know, these are experts in mobile warfare, and they are used to fighting hard battles. If they join Liu's army, they can make up for the loss of their strength.

Liu Jiajun, because they used new tactics and new weapons, they defeated tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Xianzhong in the war, but they suffered a lot of losses, only a small number of 400 or 500 people. Such casualties would not be a thing or a casualty if they were among others, but they were very heavy casualties for Liu Jiajun.

However, Liu Bu and others also know that Mu Xiu will destroy Lin Feng, so they didn't report that they had more than 400 casualties. Moreover, they directly reported that nearly 2500 casualties, more than half of which were very heavy. Therefore, they must supplement their troops and have a rest in a hurry.

Their goal in this way is to avoid the imperial court treating them as gun envoys again and let them continue to pursue and kill the rogue bandits.

Although Liu Bu's Liu family army defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army on the front battlefield, they are very powerful and powerful. However, if they are allowed to chase and kill the rogue bandits thousands of miles, chase each other's ass and chase and kill him all the way, these heavy weapons will not be used, and they will have no advantage in dealing with the rogue bandits.

Liu Jiajun, they can achieve such a brilliant success this time because of their reasonable use of artillery and fire guns, and the other party is facing such a large-scale artillery and fire guns for the first time. As a result, they didn't know where to go and suffered a great loss.

If they fight with cold weapons alone, they can't win such brilliance and beauty.

This is because the other side is also a very strong cold weapon force. If the two sides fight, it is estimated that Liu Jiajun will suffer a great loss.

Therefore, in terms of self-definition, Liu Jiajun is determined to cooperate with cold weapons and fire guns. In large-scale decisive battle, they have no artillery cover and have no confidence to win their opponents.

This is already a dependence on weapons. At the beginning, Liu Jiajun did not rely on weapons so much, but they could not easily win a brilliant victory. Since they achieved a brilliant victory, another problem came, that is, they must use guns to win such a victory.

This means that they dare not fight easily without artillery. In addition, they dare not fight in rainy days. Moreover, it also means that they will become selective in using weapons in complex environments.

Therefore, if they are allowed to tackle tough problems or fight a decisive battle, they can easily win, but it is hard to say if they are allowed to pursue and suppress the roving bandits and blindly pursue and kill each other.

It will even be easy for the other side to counter attack and break them down.

Therefore, Liu Bu and his colleagues have also formulated a strategy, that is, let them fight the rogue bandits head-on. That's no problem, but if they chase them all the way like a duck, they won't go, because it means that they don't have enough time to arrange troops and transport weapons and equipment.

Without these sufficient weapons, they will suffer a lot if they go to fight rogue bandits. Maybe he will be beaten miserably.

In this case, they have no choice but to avoid war.

Although Liu Jiajun defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army, this does not mean that they are invincible, but they are very powerful.

Moreover, they do not have the ability to fight all-weather and all environment, so they also have their weaknesses. If they do not face up to their weaknesses and go out blindly, they will be easily defeated and defeated.
