158 Still the mad king is mighty and domineering
The eunuch party engages in internal struggles and party struggles are indeed powerful, and Qingliu and Donglin are not their opponents at all.
Because they are not following rules, unreasonable, and lawless.
To put it bluntly, they are just hooligans.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't even explain it clearly. Qingliu and Donglin, the literati, met them like rogues, and rogues, not to mention, there is nothing to play with.
However, their move can be used to deal with their own people. If it is used to deal with enemies, it will be of no use.
It would be strange if they dared to be a hooligan with Nurhaci and not be chopped into pieces by others.
Therefore, although the eunuch party is in power and the people, and although Wei Zhongxian's filial son and grandson control almost all important positions in the court, there is no one who can fight.
There was such a strange thing in the Tianqi Dynasty.
There were thousands of senior eunuchs, including the Minister of War, the Minister of War, the Minister of War, the Left Governor, the Right Governor, the Governor and the General Tongzhi. However, no one had ever led his army to fight a war with Jiannu, and even the Southwest Chieftain did not dare to touch them.
After Cai Fuyi died for his country, the situation in the southwest took a sharp turn. How did the court controlled by the eunuch party respond?
They directly promoted Min Mengde, the governor of Panyuan, to the right deputy chief censor of the Censorate and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Min Mengde pretended to be the subject of a false intention to gather some troops in Yuanzhou, Huguang and Yuanzhou. After a few months of shouting, he was soon promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, governor of the military affairs of five provinces, Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang, Guizhou and Guangxi.
Then, there was nothing. Min Meng had to wait for Yuanzhou to stay still and didn't go to Guizhou at all!
If this guy was Qingliu or Donglin, he would have been taken back to the capital by the eunuch party. How could he be the governor of the five provinces like this?
The court asked him to wipe out the rebels in Guizhou, but he waited for Yuanzhou to watch the show!
The problem is that not only did he not be cut off, but later he became the Minister of War for "making contributions" in watching the show!
This guy is hard-working in the background. He is the younger brother of Zhejiang Party veteran Min Hongxue. Min Hongxue has been promoted to the right censor of the Censorate for his contributions to supervising military salaries in Guizhou.
Due to the lack of food and salary, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou were unwilling to follow. Governor Wang Sanshan and Governor Cai Fuyi went deep into the army alone and died in the west of Shuixi. I don’t know what kind of achievements Min Hongxue’s contribution to the supervision of military salary in Guizhou!
Obviously, the two brothers are using the Southwest Toast Rebellion to gilt!
If Min Meng did this, the situation in Guizhou became increasingly corrupt. Soon, An Bangyan occupied Guiyang Prefecture, and the entire Guizhou except for the southeast and northeast corners, almost all became the territory of the rebels.
An Bangyan is already invincible in Guizhou, and She Chongming is naturally itchy.
He wants to retake Xuzhou, Bozhou, and even take over the entire Sichuan!
So, he borrowed 50,000 elite soldiers from An Bangyan and forced all small chieftains to issue 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers near Bozhou. In addition, he had two or three thousand remaining troops, forming an army of more than 100,000, claiming to be 200,000, and directly attacked Bozhou.
More than 100,000 troops, who can beat the little chieftains in Bozhou?
Soon, Zhen'anzhou fell and Renhuai fell. She Chongming directly led more than 100,000 rebels to surround Zunyi Prefecture City.
Fortunately, the imperial court repaired Zunyi Prefecture after quelling the Bozhou Rebellion, otherwise more than 100,000 rebels would have surrounded him, and the Qi family army would not be able to withstand it.
When the news reached Zhejiang and Sichuan, Zhu Qizhu became angry.
What about him? It’s good if I didn’t go to deal with you. You dare to come and attack my territory!
More than one hundred thousand troops are amazing?
At this time, he had already had thousands of wheels and boats under his command, and even more than ten large ships of thousands of materials had arrived, and his water transportation capacity was extraordinary.
He immediately mobilized more than 500 wheel boats and took tens of thousands of southern troops to head straight for Luzhou.
It was a turmoil in the southwest. The troops from Huguang, Yunnan and Guangxi often gathered in Sichuan and Guizhou. It was not abrupt that his ten thousand people hung the banner of Sichuan general Ma Qiancheng, and no one dared to come up to investigate along the way.
The fleet flowed down the Han River and arrived at Wuchang Prefecture in one day. Then, the fleet went upstream again and took five days to arrive at Luzhou Prefecture.
At this time, Ma Qiancheng was as anxious as an ants on the hot pan, with more than 100,000 troops. No matter how fierce he was, he would not dare to rush over to rescue Zunyi City with 10,000 white-rod soldiers. No matter how hard he got, he would have to be sure of 30,000 troops.
The problem is that the Imperial Guards must guard Xuzhou, and the Pingdong Army and the Pingxi Army must guard Chongqing Prefecture. He has no troops to adjust!
What to do?
When Zhu Qizhuo arrived, he was really excited, but when he saw that there were only more than 10,000 people on the ship, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. Even if he left Luzhou and followed the little prince to rescue Zunyi City, there would be only 20,000 people!
There are more than 20,000 to more than 100,000, and there are likely to be reinforcements. Will there be a chance of winning in this battle?
As soon as he met him, he couldn't help but worry, "Prince, General Qi and Yiming were deeply surrounded, what should I do?"
Zhu Qizhuo said calmly: "Don't worry, the rebels do not have muskets and cannons. With the equipment of the Qi family, there is no problem in defending Zunyi City, unless they have no ammunition and food."
After saying that, he strode towards the military camp in the city.
Ma Qiancheng was slightly stunned for a moment before following him.
If you want the Qi family army to run out of ammunition and food, you will probably have to fight for at least half a year. You must know that Zunyi Prefecture City has hoarded hundreds of thousands of stones of military rations, and they have long expected that Zunyi Prefecture City is most susceptible to rebel attacks, so the Qi family army has prepared quite sufficient ammunition.
Zhu Qizhu took Ma Qiancheng to the city's tent, and asked Ma Qiancheng to look out the latest map for a while, then asked: "How many people are there in She Chongming? Have you found out clearly?"
Ma Qiancheng said without hesitation: "According to the secret guards, he borrowed 50,000 elite soldiers from Anbangyan and forced the chieftains near Bozhou to gather 50,000 young and strong. In addition, he brought 20,000 to 30,000 remaining troops to Shuixi, so there should be less than 130,000 troops in total?"
Zhu Qizhuo couldn't help but lit up when he heard this.
Are chieftains miscellaneous soldiers?
He then asked, "How many of the chieftains of Zhen'anzhou and Renhuai have escaped? Where are they now?"
Ma Qiancheng still said without hesitation: "They did not fight against She Chongming at all, and there was no loss of people and horses. At this moment, several chieftains and tens of thousands of people are guarding Xishui."
He was not scared by the more than 100,000 troops of She Chongming. There was a copper mine in Xishui, so it was not allowed to be lost. It was completely correct for him to send several people who escaped from the chieftains to Xishui.
Zhu Qizhe nodded slightly, then asked again: "Where is An Bangyan's main force, is he still in Guiyang?"
Ma Qiancheng still said without hesitation: "According to the secret guards, An Bangyan's main force took Guiyang and there was no movement. He should be still in Guiyang at this time."
Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said domineeringly: "Hmph, it's good that I didn't deal with these two guys. They actually dare to call him. This time, I must give them a profound lesson and give them a long memory."
Ma Qiancheng was stunned when he heard this.
The combined teams of An Bangyan and She Chongming are probably more than 200,000. How can I teach people a lesson?
Zhu Qizhe immediately pointed to the map and said, "We divided our troops into two groups, starting from Luzhou, defeating She Chongming's troops, and heading south from Xuzhou to take down Chishuiwei and Bijiewei."
When Ma Qiancheng heard this, he was even more confused.
