Xiangyang city.
Wang Guangen reorganized the Xiangwang Mansion in the south of the city that had been destroyed by the war. After simple repairs, he replaced it with the plaque of the Yunyang Palace.
The former Prince Xiang's Mansion was destroyed by the fighting of the Chuang army, leaving only a lot of broken walls, and the only one that is better preserved is the Nine Dragon Wall.
Wang Guangen likes this Nine Dragon Wall very much. Looking at these dragons, he thinks it symbolizes Wang Guangen's Xingda.
In the evening, he hosted a banquet in the palace for his old subordinates and brothers.
Wearing a python robe, he stood in front of the Nine Dragon Wall to welcome him.
Xu Qiyuan, the governor of Yunyang, was granted the title of deputy admiral to Liu Tiaoyuan, the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang, and Miao Shihua, the deputy general of Xiangyang. Yang Mingqi, Tingpin, and Yu Qifan all came here one after another.
Since Wang Guangen decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and accepted the titles of Prince of Yunyang and Admiral of Huguang granted by the Qing Dynasty, these generals who had fought side by side with him also surrendered.
Even Xu Qiyuan surrendered together.
"Prince Fuzheng Su and General Dingyuan Haoge just sent someone to send an order to send troops to collect Xing'an, open up the channel with Hanzhong, go to Huihui to attack the bandits, and return to An'an within half a month."
Outside the city, the hungry people are hungry, but in the palace hall of the city, there are delicious food and wine on the table.
Hauge's order made them frown.
"Where's the food?"
Liu Tiaoyuan asked very bluntly, he was originally a famous general, he served several governors of Yunyang, and he was considered battle-hardened, but before setting up Zhongkai Town, his position was not high, and he was just a guerrilla in Hongguang. After the establishment of Zhongkai Town, he was promoted to the rank of general soldier.
Originally, an officer and general like him should not have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but when Wang Guangen planned to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, his attitude was completely supportive. Hunan Zhongwu Ma Jinzhong and others were recruited and killed because they were defeated and plundered places, and Sichuan Zengying Wang Xiang and other generals were dissatisfied with the whole army and mutinied and arrested. These all caused great dissatisfaction among military leaders like Liu Tiaoyuan.
They guarded the lonely city alone before, and after accepting the reorganization of the imperial court as Zhongkai, they were promoted, but there was almost no other support. They thought they had worked hard, especially when they captured Xiangfan twice. The attitude of the army remained unchanged.
Liu Tiaoyuan, the commander-in-chief, can only be changed to the admiral of the Chinese army, even if he is still given the rank of commander-in-chief, but the position of the Chinese army is actually just the adjutant of the general, and some are also in command of the standard battalion, and the rank is not high. It's not heavy on authority.
Everyone in Zhongkai Town was extremely dissatisfied.
However, the conditions for recruiting them from the Qing government were very generous. Wang Guangen was named king, Liu Tiaoyuan and several generals in the army were also named marquis, with the titles of admiral and deputy admiral, etc. They secretly planned and surrendered.
"It was agreed with Wu Sangui's envoy before that after we recruit security here, the Qing Dynasty will provide us with grain and grass, but until now, we haven't seen a single grain of grain."
Liu Tiaoyuan slapped the table angrily.
They decided to rebel at the beginning. In addition to the high salaries given by the Qing government to high officials and the Ming army’s order to reorganize the army, there was another important reason. This year, there was a famine in the Yunyang area. The population has been enriched, but this year's drought has caused a bad harvest in Yunyang, and the Tartars also came to raid from time to time, resulting in a serious food shortage.
However, Wang Guangen and others recruited a large number of soldiers. When Wen Anzhi was there, Zhongkai Town had more than 10 soldiers. After Wen Anzhi left, all the generals were desperately expanding their recruitment. , adding up to more than [-] people.
Although more soldiers and horses can increase self-protection ability, but the consumption of food and grass is also greater.
With the defeat of Ma Ke in Hanzhong and the collapse of Guanzhong, Yunyang became an isolated town again. Only Padang can be connected to it, but there are high mountains and dense forests, and it is difficult to communicate with materials, let alone the situation there is not optimistic.
All the generals in Yunyang were unable to support the army, but Wu Sangui promised that the imperial court would provide food and grass after he was attached.
It's just that the surrender has also been lowered now, and the decree of the conferment has come down. Even Xiangfan has been handed over to Wang Guangen and the others to garrison, but so far we haven't seen a grain of food.
Wu Sangui always finds reasons to shirk, saying that he will raise funds in the rear, and then that the food and grass have been cut off to Xu Huai, in short, there is no food.
"In Yunyang, countless people starve to death every day. After dawn, there are starved corpses everywhere. A cart after a cart can't finish pulling them. Everyone eats each other. Our soldiers can only eat for a day now. For a meal, you have to wear grass roots and bark."
"It's okay to send troops, let's pull out the food and grass first."
Several generals were dissatisfied there.
Governor Xu Qiyuan has been silent since he came in. He was forced to surrender, but he was also not firm in his position. Although he had faced the siege of the Chuangjun for several years, he was able to hold on and not surrender.
But now facing the Qing army, he hesitated in his heart.
Especially after the two major defeats in Wuchang and Chang'an, and the mutiny in Sichuan, he was at a loss for the future. Coupled with the situation in Yunyang and the attitude of Wang Guangen and others, he also lost hope in Daming.
But after he was cleared, he regretted it a little.
Has been tangled.
Wang Guangen also knows that the current situation is difficult and it is a dilemma.
But Hauge's order was handed down, and he couldn't refuse it.
Of course he also knew what Hauge was planning. Zuo just wanted to use their newly surrendered army as cannon fodder to lead the battle. Even if Xing'an was captured within the time limit, they would still transfer themselves to fight in northern Sichuan and destroy Zhang Xianzhong. Maybe I have to transfer myself to fight Wen'anzhi in Sichuan.
"It's impossible to stay still, but it's really difficult to move. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. But now there is a shortage of food and pay, and the brothers are also wavering."
Yang Mingqi turned the jade wrench on his finger.
"Commander, let's wait here. We probably won't be able to wait for food if we starve to death. I think it's better to push the boat along the way. Let's lead our troops to the west to beg for food. I heard that Xing'an City has a lot of food and grass. The law-abiding ones brought them back when they withdrew from Guanzhong, although they were defeated in their attack on Chang'an before, they did not lose food and pay in Guanzhong, so we just took it and used it first."
"That's right, Brother Guangtai heard that they have also arrived in Xing'an. Let's cooperate from inside to outside. It will not be difficult to take Xing'an."
Several generals were there counting the belongings of He Sun, Sun Shoufa and others who were defeated from Guanzhong. One said that Sun Shoufa had six thousand cavalry in his hands, the other said that He Zhen had ten thousand armors, and he said that Xing'an hoarded A lot of food and grass.
These people didn't pay much attention to He Zhen and others, thinking that with Wang Xingtai over there, they would raid Jia Neiying and take them down in one fell swoop, and then everyone could divide the property.
"When we take down Xing'an, we have food and grass, and we have equipment, soldiers and horses to supplement. At that time, our strength will increase greatly. Let's tell Hauge that there is no food to supply soldiers and horses into Hanzhong. We will stop in Xing'an, or even withdraw directly. He can Why?"
"If you want me to say, after taking Xing'an, you have to go back and take Chen Jiao, Liu Erxiong, and Wang Bin from Fangxian County and Zhuxi, so that Yunxiang can be safe. We must stabilize the backyard, so that we can The capital to talk to the imperial court."
Wang Guangen and others originally only guarded the isolated city of Yunyang, but later set up Zhongkai. Under the support of Zhongzhen and others to attack Huguang, Yunyang Mansion was restored and part of Xiangyang was occupied.
Now that the Qing Dynasty has surrendered, they will continue to occupy Xiangfan, which was conquered before, and the Qing government will temporarily hand over these places to them, but they are also determined to include Yunxiang under their Zhongkai banner.
Since it's in your mouth, there's no reason to spit it out.
However, Chen Jiao, Wang Bin, and Liu Erxiong refused to join the Qing Dynasty, so they must be cleaned up first, or the court will be in trouble.
"it is good!"
Wang Guang'en, the king of Yunyang, followed his admonitions like a stream.
