As a result, Zhang Xianzhong died in battle.

If Zhang Xianzhong did not die, how could the Qing Dynasty unify China?

When Li Dingguo two famous kings were scattered, the Qing court was so scared that they planned to divide the north and south with the Daxi Army.

If Zhang Xianzhong was not dead, the 500,000 Western Army would not have dispersed. Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other four brothers would not have met in the end... Unfortunately, there is no if!

Therefore, at this time, Li Dingguo insisted on following his adoptive father's will, and this insistence received the support of the other two brothers.

But Sun Kewang believed that he was the boss and forced Li Dingguo to obey him, which made Li Dingguo angry and said, "If you have the ability, go by yourself, don't pull me on the back." After saying that, he drew his sword and wanted to defeat himself. Fortunately, the other two brothers rushed over and hugged him, otherwise, the feat of "two famous kings will shake the world."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Kewang had to take back his opinions. The four generals set up an oath to restore their original surnames, and respected Sun Kewang as the leader to join forces with Ming and resist the Qing Dynasty.

But at this moment, this sentence was just empty talk. Zhang Xianzhong's death caused the 500,000 army to fall apart. The four of them had only a few thousand remaining people, which was only ten thousand people in total. There were more than 10,000 soldiers and families dragged them down, and they didn't even have food and salary.

Fortunately, it rained in time. Yunnan was in the rebellion of Shadingzhou, the chieftain of Amizhou, and the Ming Dynasty's Qianguo Duke Mu Tianbo fled Kunming.

Since Mu Tianbo's deputy general Long Zaitian met Sun Kewang as early as when Zhang Xianzhonggu City was pretending to surrender, he sent someone to ask Sun Kewang for help, saying that as long as your Xingyi Army came to attack, the whole province of Yunnan could be captured.

The fourth general believed that this was a good opportunity to expand the jurisdiction of the Daxi Army, so he sent troops to Yunnan in the name of revenge for the Duke of Qian.

When Shadingzhou heard that tens of thousands of Western troops were coming to attack, he was frightened and abandoned Kunming and fled south.

The Western Army entered Kunming, and the people in the city came out to greet them.

The four generals worked tirelessly to pacify the country, persuaded Mu Tianbo to join forces with the peasant army, and announced that they would join forces to serve the king and restore the world of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Since then, it has initially entered the Lianming period.

But Lianming is a unit, but it may not be possible to resist Qing Dynasty.

With the territory, it is obviously not appropriate to call the Four Generals. You can't rule the people as a general, right?

So after discussing, the four of them decided to become king.

Sun Kewang was called King of Pingdong, Li Dingguo was called King of Anxi, Liu Wenxiu was called King of Funan, and Ainengqi was called King of Dingbei. He continued to maintain the tradition of the peasant army. Every time he encountered a meeting, four people sat together, and Sun Kewang had the final say in the rewards and punishments of the soldiers of each battalion.

With the arrival of the territory and the support of the people, the life of the Western Army was getting better and better.

Sun Kewang's ambitions gradually expanded.

The King of Pingdong was just a self-proclaimed lord, so some people agreed to his preferences. The former Censor Ren Jian ran to the account to make a statement. General Sun would rather be the leader of a country by himself, set up officials, issue coins, and issue New Year's names.

This is to persuade him to enter. Sun Kewang felt the pride of spring breeze and immediately held a joint meeting of four people to ask for the opinions of the three brothers.

However, Li Dingguo strongly opposed it.

After several times like this, Sun Kewang regarded Li Dingguo as a thorn in his side. He and his confidant Wang Shangli planned to suppress Li Dingguo and establish personal authority.

The two conspired to set up a plan. When the troops were performing martial arts in the colonel field, Sun Kewang deliberately delayed the entry for some time, but Li Dingguo did not expect Sun Kewang to attack him. Seeing that Sun Kewang had not arrived, Li Dingguo took the lead in entering the colonel field, fired a salute, and raised the flag of the coach.

At this time, Sun Kewang led his troops into the field, pointed at Li Dingguo and cursed: "If you are so disrespectful, you should be punished severely."

Then he ordered Li Dingguo to be punished with one hundred military sticks.

One hundred military sticks, if a cow is afraid it will be beaten to pieces.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was furious and shouted, "You and I are brothers, but the army has no commander for the time being. Just respect you as the leader. Why should I count on you?"

As the four brothers were about to have an internal conflict, the other two were busy smoothing out the situation.

In the end, in order to avoid splitting the four brothers, Li Dingguo barely accepted the 50-staff military stick, but since then, the conflict between the two has been revealed.

After Li Dingguo's injury was healed, in order not to meet Sun Kewang, he asked to pacify the fugitive Shadingzhou.

At this time, Ainengqi, the King of Dingbei who was sent by Sun Kewang to conquer Dongchuan, was killed by the poisonous arrows of the Sichuan people during the battle. His troops were immediately incorporated by Sun Kewang, and thus Sun Kewang became the strongest among the three brothers.

In order to expand his territory, Sun Kewang led his army into southern Sichuan.

Before leaving the army, in order to prevent Li Dingguo from launching a coup behind his back, Sun Kewang arranged for Li Dingguo to attack Anshun.

At this moment, this man named Huang Yingyun appeared in front of Li Dingguo. After a conversation, he deeply touched Li Dingguo's heart.

Huang Yingyun said to Li Dingguo Highway: "If the fall is broken down today, it will be like the princes fighting for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was in the north, the Yixing Dynasty was in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yongli Dynasty was in the southeast and the southwest. These three forces were the greatest... If the general relied on the title of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the general's Shenwu, he would clear away the traitors and rebels. Who in the world dared to be an enemy of the general?"

Li Dingguo asked: "But the Emperor Yongli is unarmed and has no soldiers under his command. Who can support me to go north to fight against the Qing Dynasty?"

Huang Yingyun replied: "Although the emperor has no soldiers and money, he has great righteousness. He has a saying that he has a hundred times. There are many responders. In times of trouble, there are dragons without leaders. Only by relying on great righteousness can one establish unparalleled achievements... Moreover, now the King of Yanping has more than 100,000 troops in the southeast, and the Invincible Navy under his command. The Yixing Dynasty has also occupied Zhili and Zhejiang and Jiangxi. The general can advance eastward to meet with the King of Yanping, and also go north to Huguang and form a unit with the King of Wu of Yixing Dynasty. In this way, he can make unparalleled achievements and the general can also be recorded in history."

Li Dingguo looked at Huang Yingyun sadly and said, "Li asked for help from King Yanping several times, but King Yanping always ignored him. I don't know what he thought... I'm afraid he won't get what he wants."

Huang Yingyun said firmly: "Since King Yanping and the General are not people of the same path, why not ask for help from the King of Wu in Yixing Dynasty? Once Huguang is opened, the territory of the world can be divided from northeast to southwest and into two halves. The Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong will lose the support of the Qing court in the north and become a lonely army, like a dry bone in a tomb, and there will be no more day to turn over... At that time, the general will echo the King of Wu Jiangxi, and even if he is King Yanping, he will probably lower his former noble head to the general... I hope the general will think twice."

There was a glimmer of excitement in Li Dingguo's eyes. He was really moved by Huang Yingyun.

For Li Dingguo, inheriting the will of his adoptive father, expelling the Tartars, and restoring China was much more meaningful than Sun Kewang expected to be named "King of Qin".
