Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

When Zhao Wen sent troops to attack Huguang, Li Zicheng originally planned to go north to surrender Chongzhen, but halfway through, Shandong was taken by Zhao Wen.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to go south.

Li Zicheng's speed was not fast at first, but he went south slowly.

Walking and walking, Song Hu led troops and horses to attack Nanzhili and Southeast.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead his troops to the southeast.

Li Ziben wanted to leave by boat, but conditions did not allow it. Before he reached the coast, Song Hu's troops were not far away from them.

The thieves like Li Zicheng have no other skills, but they are first-rate in escaping.

In fact, Song Hu's target was in the southeast at that time, and he didn't notice him. He just thought that Li Zicheng and the others were fleeing soldiers, so he didn't pay too much attention to them.

In desperation, Li Zicheng could only run all the way to the southwest.

Along the way, Li Zicheng did not dare to take the main road, but only dared to take the small road.

Now, after finally escaping to the mountains in the southwest, he met Zhao Daniu and Liu Wuqing to pay the southwest again.

Li Zicheng originally planned to escape from the southwest to Annan, but who knew, there was no way for them to escape.

Those who are not familiar with the place of life, they don't know the exact location now, so they can only run around aimlessly in the mountains.

Li Zicheng is actually not the main target of Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu, because Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu still don't know that people like Li Zicheng are in the southwest mountains.

Zhao Daniu and Liu Wuqing paid the chieftain soldiers and horses in the southwest mountains. Li Zicheng had to flee because Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu kept shrinking the encirclement.

During this period of time, as Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu kept shrinking the encirclement, the living space for people like Li Zicheng became more and more difficult.

Among Li Zicheng's men and horses, most of them are from the north.

They are not acclimatized in the southwest, and there are countless non-combat attrition in the team.

Because of the cruel environment and seeing no way out, people in Li Zicheng's team ran away every day.

Now, only Li Zicheng's old battalion is left.

Zhang Xianzhong's situation was similar to that of Li Zicheng, they were all huddled in the mountains in the southwest, doing their last struggle.

It was raining again in the sky, and the temperature was a little colder.

Zhao Daniu's camp was about 200 miles away from Li Zicheng.

If the distance of more than 200 miles is placed on flat land, it is nothing, but if it is in the mountains in the southwest, it will be a journey of several days and nights.

Moreover, the mountains and forests block it, so it is not easy to hunt down.

Zhao Daniu was sitting in the big tent, holding a document sent from Xuanzhen in his hand.

The document was sent by the Military Academy, saying that now that the capital city and Beizhili have been captured, His Majesty is preparing to confer knight titles, so that Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu should hurry up and strive to complete the Southwest War before June.

"Completing the war in the Southwest before June is easier said than done!" Zhao Daniu looked troubled.

The mountains in the southwest are no different than other places. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. It is very difficult to chase and kill the enemy. In addition, almost all the soldiers and horses in Zhao Daniu's hands are soldiers from the north.

Zhao Daniu wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, but the reality didn't allow it.

"Now I finally understand why there are always rebellions in this southwest area. It's strange that there are no rebellions like this." Zhao Daniu murmured.

While talking, a soldier rushed in hastily.

"General, don't accept the report at night. Prince Mu's mansion has appeared. They are preparing to flee towards Annan with the main force. In another seven or eight days, they will reach the border!" Sealed military newspaper.

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Daniu snatched the document from the soldier.

At this time, Zhao Daniu led troops and horses to station in a place called Bazhaisi in Lin'an Prefecture.

This Lin'an Mansion is not the Lin'an Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty. This Lin'an Mansion is located in Yunnan, and the south is Annan.

When Zhao Daniu entered the territory of Yunnan, he was mainly in charge of southern Yunnan.

Therefore, Zhao Daniu's initial goal was Yunnan Mansion.

Yunnan Mansion is the site of Prince Mu's Mansion. Prince Mu's Mansion has been here for hundreds of years, and its influence here is deeply rooted.

Although Zhao Daniu broke through Yunnan Mansion in a very short period of time, he did not capture the people from Mu Wang Mansion.

Before Zhao Daniu attacked Yunnan Mansion, King Mu's Mansion took all the people in Yunnan Mansion and fled south.

After Zhao Daniu knew about it, he led his soldiers and horses to chase him all the way.

However, because he is not familiar with the road and he is not acclimatized to the environment, even though Zhao Daniu's weapons are advanced, he will not be able to catch up with the people from the Mu Palace for a while.

Zhao Daniu chased all the way to Bazhaisi with his soldiers and horses, and suddenly lost the trace of Mu Wangfu and others.

Zhao Daniu had no choice but to send a large number of soldiers and horses to look for it.

The hard work paid off, and Ye Bushou finally discovered the traces of Mu Wangfu.

It was at this time that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fled to Yunnan.

Zhao Daniu regarded Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong as the defeated soldiers of Mu Palace, and chased them along the way.

"It's actually in Jinping, hehehe, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that you would go to Jinping.

The people of Mu Palace can hide so well, this time I will definitely catch you all! "Song Hu's eyes were full of fierce light, and he said in a harsh voice.

Chapter 759 Marching to Jinping

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the people of Mu Palace could hide so well!" Zhao Daniu slapped the table in front of him with a sneer on his face.

"This time, let me see where you can hide!" Zhao Daniu looked at the messenger in the big tent, and shouted loudly: "Send my order, take a rest for a day, and leave for Jinping tomorrow morning."

The soldiers in the big tent rushed out of the tent and conveyed Song Hu's order.

Zhao Daniu's camp immediately became noisy, making final preparations for the expedition.

At the same time, on the mountain road outside Jinping, a large team was walking on the mountain path.

In this team, there are officials with families, Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, and chieftain soldiers.

These people walked mightily on the mountain road, spreading for several miles.

The leader was a young man in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, wearing black and red cotton armor, and riding a war horse.

There is a gun on one side of the horse's back, and a saber on the other end. This man is Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Mu Tianbo's father was seriously ill and died. At that time, Mu Tianbo, who was only ten years old, inherited the title of Duke Qian and served as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan.

Although Mu Tianbo was in the southern border, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital, but he was a loyal minister.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Tianbo followed the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, and was the right-hand man of the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang.

When the Qing soldiers attacked Yunnan, Mu Tianbo recruited soldiers from Yunnan and local chieftains to lead his troops to resist the Qing soldiers.

After the failure of resisting the Qing army, Mu Tianbo led the remnant soldiers to protect Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang and fled to Burma.

In the end, he was betrayed by the king of Burma. When he was in trouble with the water, he fought hard to protect Zhu Youlang and died.

In the end, Zhu Youlang was also twisted with a bowstring by Wu Sangui, a rebellious boy.

Mu Tianbo is quite capable, this person can still lead troops to fight, but the general trend is rolling in like the water of the Yangtze River, how can Mu Tianbo be able to stop it?

Mu Tianbo rode his war horse, looked at the path ahead, and kept sighing.

This is the first time Mu Tianbo has escaped from Yunnan with his family and officials from the Yunnan government in more than 20 years.

Mu Tianbo looked sad and kept sighing.He really couldn't see where his own way forward was, let alone the way forward for Mu Wangfu's lineage.

The soldiers in the army are basically remnants and defeated generals. They were defeated by Zhao Daniu's soldiers and horses when they were guarding Yunnan.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was familiar with the terrain, and he had already made preparations to escape, Zhao Daniu might have captured the whole lineage of Prince Mu's Mansion alive.

"Brother, are we going to Annan?" A young man who was a few years younger than Mu Tianbo and who looked like Mu Tianbo followed up on a horse and asked.

This person is Mu Tianze, Mu Tianbo's second younger brother.

"We can only go to Annan, now we have nowhere to go.

There are soldiers and horses of Zhao bandits in the north and east. We have almost nowhere to go except Annan.

My Muwang Mansion's 200-year-old foundation cannot be defeated by me. "Mu Tianbo said with a serious face.

"Brother, but what are we now? Daming is dead, the whole world is gone, what's the point of us persevering now?" Mu Tianze asked.

Mu Tianbo frowned, and scolded: "What do you mean by that? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, we are Daming's ministers in life, and Daming's ghosts in death. Even if we fight Even if we die, we can’t surrender to Bandit Zhao. Bandit Zhao is just a thief who steals the country, and he will suffer retribution.”

Mu Tianze lowered his head when Mu Tianbo scolded him, and obediently followed behind Mu Tianbo.

Mu Tianbo's soldiers and horses totaled about 3, of which [-] were local chieftain soldiers and horses.

In addition to more than [-] soldiers and horses, there are nearly tens of thousands of family members and people.

If Zhao Daniu and Liu Wu were not too fast, Mu Tianbo could still summon a large number of chieftain soldiers.

The past 200 years of Mu Wang's Mansion in Yunnan have not been done in vain.

Under the protection of the soldiers, the people in Prince Mu's mansion, the soldiers' families and the common people headed south.

Because of the steep mountain road, their speed became very slow.

……

The sun rose from the horizon, and Zhao Daniu's army set off.

The mighty soldiers and horses marched on the mountain road, heading towards Jinping.

Because of the steep mountain road, Zhao Daniu left the general's firewood car where it was and did not bring it with him.

As for the materials in the army, they are consigned by livestock such as war horses or cattle.

Song Hu rode a war horse and rolled up his sleeves high.

There is no winter in the south, especially in Yunnan, where the temperature is still relatively high.

Although Song Hu was riding on a war horse, his body was covered with sweat after walking for a short time.

Before Song Hu set off, Song Hu's vanguard had already set off.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and mountain birds are circling on the treetops, chirping non-stop.

The soldiers walked quietly on the mountain road, no one spoke.

Song Hu's army walked for almost two days, and the vanguard encountered Li Zicheng and the others.

In Li Zicheng's big tent, a soldier stood in front of Li Zicheng, and said anxiously: "King Chuang, it's not good, the pursuers are coming up. A group of people and horses appeared fifty miles to the east of us. Zhao Wen's soldiers The horse is coming up."

Li Zicheng was taken aback, he stood up from his chair, and hurriedly asked.

"Is what you said true? Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses really caught up?" Li Zicheng's eyes widened with disbelief.

He has not been repairing here for a long time, and he thought he had escaped Zhao Daniu's pursuit, but who knows, he still couldn't escape.

"King Chuang, the little one has only one head, how dare you lie to King Chuang!" The soldier was afraid that Li Zicheng would not believe him, so he swore with his right hand pointing to the sky.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng had to trust the soldier.

Fortunately, this is Yunnan, and the mountain roads are rampant. If it is on the plain, the distance of fifty miles can be reached in an instant.

"Are these people dogs? Dogs have such good noses?" Li Zicheng slapped the table in front of him and scolded Zhao Daniu viciously.

"Uncle, now is not the time to scold them, what should we do now?!" Li Guo asked anxiously.

Liu Zongmin also stared at Li Zicheng with wide eyes.

"What else can I do? Pack up your things and run for your life!" Li Zicheng shouted and rushed out of the camp.

"I ordered everyone to throw away all the unimportant things. Don't take them with you. Our lives are at stake. We've been heading south. I don't believe it. We can't escape." Li Zicheng shouted loudly. with.

Not long after, Li Zicheng led Li Guo and Liu Zongmin to the south on a war horse.

Some of Li Zicheng's subordinates took advantage of this opportunity to escape.

It is impossible for the soldiers in Li Zicheng's hands to be absolutely loyal to him, so it is not surprising that some escape now.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Zicheng no longer cares about them and allows them to escape.

It is rainy in the south. Although it is not the rainy season, it does not mean that it does not rain.

Song Hu was wearing a raincoat and walking in the light rain in Yunnan.
