Chapter 29: Nikan dispatched

In the past, Dorgon always believed that as long as the situation in the south changed, he could attack Zhang Biwu, who was already entrenched in Shanxi and Henan. However, now that Guangxi is lost, Shen Yongzhong from Huguang will be difficult to defend for a long time, and Huguang will be lost. In Shu, Wu Sangui, who is part of Shaanxi, may rebel again.

Wu Sangui had heavy troops, and once he rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable. The northwest was gone, Shu was gone, and several provinces in the south were gone. The situation that was finally established was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. After Li Dingguo occupied Guangxi, they all changed.

Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng and others have come. After all, the loss of Guangxi is of great importance, and Wu Sangui in Shu will become an important part of the matter. If Wu Sangui once again raises the banner of supporting the Ming Dynasty in Shu, then everything will be over.

Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng. He wanted to hear their opinions. What should he do now?

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou looked at each other. They had already planned their plans in their minds and said what they thought.

Wu Sangui is always ambitious and has great ambitions, but one thing is that he is very wise. He knows the current situation. He has just attacked Shu and has not yet established a stable foothold in Shu!

If he had rushed to raise troops to show his support for the Ming Dynasty, he would be subject to Dashun, Daxi, Yongli, and Zhang Biwu.

Like this, it is difficult for him to develop. Maybe even his capital will be lost in the end. After all, it is subject to others! People are resentful of him for guiding the Qing Dynasty into the pass. When he went to the Ming Dynasty, even if he could save his life, his power would be deprived. As an ambitious man, power represents everything. Without power, nothing is!

He could only strengthen himself by destroying all kinds of anti-Qing forces. He could finally roar and hope to realize his ambition to seize the world.

In order to show that the court did not give up on him, Wu Sangui, the court could only send troops to wipe out Li Dingguo, restore Guangxi, and open up the road to Shu again. When Wu Sangui heard this, he would not betray him.

But now Zhang Biwu is ready to move and is in a state of strife to take advantage of the chaos, so he has to arrange heavy troops to deal with Zhang Biwu first. The number of powerful generals he can send is very limited.

In Mongolia, troops were sent to attack Shaanxi to threaten Xi'an, so that the bandits' army would ask Zhang Biwu for help. Zhang Biwu had a close relationship with Li Zicheng's remnants, so he had to send troops to rescue him. Like this, Zhang Biwu could not burn the war to Northern Zhili.

Not to mention that it can restore Shaanxi, it is also good to hold Zhang Biwu back. If God blesses him to restore Shaanxi, this is even better!

The remnants of the Southern Ming and the thieves were not united, and their concentration was reflected between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo. Now Sun Kewang can command all armies to fight against our Qing Dynasty, simply because he took the world to command the princes. Many people did not accept him!

It is well known that Sun Kewang has a grudge with Li Dingguo. Now that Li Dingguo has made great contributions, if he gets great contributions, his status will be higher and his reputation will be higher. It will threaten Sun Kewang's position. Just imagine, how can Sun Kewang be able to sit firmly with the strength of his enemy?

Provoking Sun Kewanghe and Li Dingguo to bite the dog is the key to my Qing Dynasty's counterattack and ultimately winning!

………………………………………

This is the view of Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou. Their views hit the nail on the head!

When Dorgon heard this, he nodded one after another: "Yes! If we want the situation to improve, we must not give up Wu Sangui, nor can we give up the land of Guangxi and Huguang!

Dorgon thought for a while and said, "Prince Yu cannot lead the army to attack, so let Prince Ying attack Shaanxi! It was done by him before! After all, Prince Yu has some minor illnesses during this period, so he cannot use him! Who should I send to the south?"

When Dorgon thought of this, he had a headache. He was thinking about wanting a suitable candidate! It would be not easy for Li Dingguo to force Kong Youde to die. If he sent a bad person, it would be a bad thing and strengthen Li Dingguo's momentum.

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou have no decision-making power when it comes to choosing generals. Let’s see how Dorgon decides!

Dorgon thought for a long time, and he made a decision: "Nine elders, please help me lead your army to the south immediately, thinking that the Qing Dynasty will conquer the south! I decided that Prince Jing Jinzhuang Nikan, who was the general of the attack on Li Dingguo! He made many military achievements, and this time, he would not disappoint! I will reign Nikan as the general of Dingyuan, leading the three beiles and Bagushan to defeat Li Dingguo in a total of 150,000 elite troops to defeat Li Dingguo! At the same time, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and others in Guangdong followed his orders!"

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou did not dare to say anything more. After all, Dorgon had made a decision, who could speak out? I can only hope that this battle can be defeated!

The Qing Dynasty released Hong Chengchou and asked Nikanlai to lead the army to fight. The news that Prince Ying attacked Shaanxi from Mongolia reached Zhang Biwu.

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he knew that this was the Qing Dynasty's influence on the momentum caused by Li Dingguo. Now what he wants is to expand the results of the war, but the Dashun Army on this side of Shaanxi had to help. Huang Qi and others were still continuing to assist Li Dingguo!

Zhang Biwu thought of one thing that would make Wu Sangui come alive if he could persuade Wu Sangui to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Wu Sangui, hoping that his friendship would make Wu Sangui come to his senses and return to his lost path and no longer serve the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Biwu was still thinking too naive about this. The envoy he sent was imprisoned by Wu Sangui and wanted to escort it to Beijing. He said that the old master had gone and would only be loyal to the new master. Of course, the envoy was not discharged because Wu Sangui said that the journey was long and he was isolated.

From this aspect, we can see that although Wu Sangui expressed his loyalty to the Qing court, he did not finally draw a clear line with the anti-Qing forces, and he could still return to the anti-Qing side.

Zhang Biwu knew this, so he had to secretly send someone to send another letter to Wu Sangui, not asking Wu Sangui to send troops or fight against the Qing Dynasty, at least stay in Shu without moving or causing trouble. This is the best. Otherwise, they would have met Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui is a ghostly spirit. Of course, he will not send troops and use up all his strength. He can only sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Besides, no one can help. He can not only give an explanation to the Qing Dynasty, but also give an explanation to Zhang Biwu. He can please both sides and preserve his strength. Why not do it?

But what should we do next? The Qing Dynasty had a strong military force in the north. If Zhang Biwu sent troops, he might not have taken advantage of it. He was closely monitored by the Qing Dynasty.

Now all Zhang Biwu can do is hope that Li Dingguo can defeat Nikan. If he defeats Nikan, Zhang Biwu can go out again and the whole momentum will become bigger.

Compared with Zhang Biwu, who hoped that Li Dingguo would win, Sun Kewang didn't think so. He thought that Li Dingguo had a great victory and had a great momentum. He also had to make some moves to make his momentum.

What he did was a stupid thing. Sun Kewang forced Emperor Yongli to make Emperor Yongli appoint him as King of Qin.

In the past, Zhang Xianzhong was called King of Qin for a period of time. Although the main body was still dominated by the Great Western and the Eight Kings, he was called King of Qin. Now it is not surprising that Sun Kewang has returned to Zhang Xianzhong's old path.

Emperor Yongli doesn’t want to confer Sun Kewang as King of Qin, but what can I do? Sun Kewang has to force you to confer, and Emperor Yongli is under Sun Kewang’s control, so what qualifications can you not listen to Sun Kewang?

Emperor Yongli had no choice but to enthrone Sun Kewang as King of Qin. Sun Kewang received the title of King of Qin, but he was not satisfied!

Because Li Dingguo's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, it is necessary to destroy Li Dingguo. Now Nikan is starting to attack. If Li Dingguo is defeated by Nikan, then Li Dingguo will be dead!

Although the Qing Dynasty was in power, it was much more beneficial to get rid of Li Dingguo than to lose Huguang and Guangxi!

When Sun Kewang thought of this, he smiled sinisterly. He didn't want to pay attention to so much, he just did it.

Sun Kewang secretly ordered Feng Shuangli, and as long as Li Dingguo had any plans, he would immediately repay him.

Then, Feng Shuangli informed Sun Kewang of Li Dingguo's strategy to formulate a powerful Nikan's enemy.

It turned out that Li Dingguo made a careful arrangement: the Daxi Army temporarily withdrew from Changsha, lured Qing soldiers across the Xiangjiang River, and generals Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong's troops were ambushed Baigao City. When the Qing soldiers passed Hengshan, Li Dingguo attacked from the front from the Jishui (southwest of Hengshan). Feng and Ma attacked behind the scenes, and the two armies joined forces to annihilate Nikan.

Sun Kewang sent Feng Shuangli out of the ambush immediately. In this way, Li Dingguo's plan failed, and Li Dingguo was very likely to be destroyed by the enemy.

Li Dingguo did not expect this at all. Instead, he moved forward according to the original plan. Huang Qi and other troops followed him and they also met closely with Li Dingguo.

Nikan sent troops quickly, and he was full of confidence. Because he had been around for a long time, Nikan was a general or deputy general and rarely had the opportunity to stand alone. Now that he could stand alone, he had to make a great contribution to show his talents!

In fact, Nikan is not a fool. He also sent people to detect the situation in many places. He also obtained information. Li Dingguo and Huang Qi's troops were combined together in the area of ​​Steamed Shui. The troops of other troops had already retreated. Like this, Li Dingguo was in danger! It was not difficult to annihilate Li Dingguo!
