Cheng Bangjun's reason cannot be said to be wrong. If the Ming army in Guangdong could send troops to Guangxi to open up contact with the Yunnan court, then the situation could be restored to the situation in the eighth year of Yongli. At that time, Li Dingguo was still in Gaozhou. Although Guangxi had a line of Qing army, the Qing army could not be wiped out, and the provincial capital Guilin was also controlled by the Qing army. However, Nanning, Liuzhou and other prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties were still under the hands of the Ming army. Therefore, the contact between Guangdong and Yunnan was not interrupted, and the information with An Longxing was not interrupted. This allowed the Ming army in Guangdong to know the trends of the court and obey the command of the court in time. This point can be seen from the Guangdong Governor Lian Chengbi and Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi mobilized all forces in Guangdong to cooperate with Li Dingguo's second eastward advance.

The current situation is that Li Dingguo took his elite troops to Kunming with Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang. Guoan on Guangxi was also a prominent figure. He immediately seized the opportunity to attack the prefectures and prefectures controlled by the Ming army. He captured the entire province of Guangxi in a short time, and cut off the ties between the Ming army and Yunnan. He turned the Ming army in Guangdong into an isolated army.

It was precisely because of the land blockage that Zhou Shixiang asked General Linghai Chen Qice for help, and sent Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu from Xiangshan to Fangcheng County, Qinzhou with two ships. He then took the way through Nanning and then ran to Kunming. (Author's note: In the Ming Dynasty, Qinzhou, Guangdong, and later Guangxi territory)

When they decided to take this route, Zhou Shixiang didn't know that Nanning had been captured by the Qing army. As a result, Liang Shuanghu and his friends encountered a team of Qing soldiers near Nanning. Fortunately, this team of Qing soldiers only went to the countryside to collect grain, and the number was not large. Liang Shuanghu led the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army, and defeated the Qing army with one rush. The locals also had to guide the path so that they could safely pass the Qing army's occupied area to reach Yunnan. Otherwise, this team would probably be intercepted by the Qing army halfway.

After Cheng Bangjun returned from Guangdong last year, he was promoted from the doctor to the head of the Fangsi. Because he had gone to Guangdong many times, the Ministry of War asked him to go to Guangdong again after receiving the order, and at the same time cooperated with Guangdong Governor Lian Chengbi to integrate the Guangdong Ming army's strength in an attempt to restore Guangdong and Guangxi.

Cheng Bangjun knew it was very dangerous to go to Guangdong now. So like Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi, he pretended to be a Taoist priest when he came from Guangdong, and then he passed the checkpoint set by the Qing army in Guangxi. Even so, he was frightened along the way, fearing that his identity would be discovered.

It was precisely because of his experience along the way that Cheng Bangjun felt the threat from the Qing army in Guangxi to Yunnan and Guangdong, so after arriving in Guangdong, he went to Qinzhou to visit the Governor Lianchengbi. He strongly asked Lianchengbi to send troops to attack Guoan, the line, and open up the passage between Yunnan and Guangdong. Otherwise, the court would not know the situation in Guangdong, and Guangdong would not know the trends of the court, and they would be isolated from each other, and could not even communicate with each other, so how could they talk about unified command or Zhong Revival?

Even the city wall was deeply touched. He knew that the Ming army on Guangdong had actually become an isolated army. He could not deal with the Qing army in Guangdong alone, nor could he provide any support to the court. He was surrounded by the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi. If the passage with Yunnan could not be opened, once the Qing army in Guangdong and Guangxi work together in the future, the situation in Guangdong would definitely collapse.

In fact, compared to the recovery of Guangdong, Lianchengbi was more concerned about the safety of Emperor Yongli. When he heard that King Jin moved the Emperor's Holy Lord from An Long to Kunming, he knew that Sun Kewang would definitely not give up and would definitely send troops to Kunming. However, he was in Guangdong and could not pass through the Qing army in Guangxi to lead his troops to Kunming to serve the king, so he was very worried and did not make timely arrangements for the major changes that occurred in Xinhui.

After Guo Zhiqi went to Kunming, Lianchengbi waited for news at the Governor's yamen every day, burning incense and praying for the emperor every day, hoping that Li Dingguo would defeat Sun Kewang, and did not fulfill his duties as a governor in the affairs of Guangdong. Such negative actions not only dissatisfied Chen Qice, Zhu Tong and others who were far away in Xinhui, but also disappointed his subordinates. They all said that the Governor's move may be a behavior of a loyal minister, but it was not a good minister.

Cheng Bangjun's arrival made Lian Chengbi know the latest trends of the court. He knew that although Sun Kewang had openly sent troops to Yunnan, he had not yet entered Yunnan. King Li Dingguo of Jin led the elite troops to fight. The emperor issued an edict to let Liu Wenxiu, the King of Shu who had entered Sichuan, lead the troops back to rescue him. Lian Chengbi felt a little relieved.

Lian Chengbi was moved by what Cheng Bangjun asked, but Lian Governor was powerless now. The situation he faced was as complicated as Li Dingguo, the King of Jin who was responding to the advance of Sun Kewang's army in Qujing, Yunnan.

The Ming army in Guangdong was scattered everywhere, with mountains on its own, including the former Ming official army, the small number of troops left by Li Dingguo, and the remaining troops of Li Chengdong. After Li Chengdong's death, these people pushed his son Li Yuanyin to insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty. After Li Yuanyin died in Yulin, they still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, but they were unwilling to obey Lianchengbi's command. In this way, Lianchengbi had the name of governor, but could not command these Ming troops with his own appeal. In fact, he could only mobilize thousands of direct Ming troops in Qinzhou. As for those righteous troops, Lianchengbi had never expected them.

Thinking back to the beginning, when the King of Jin advanced east twice, the Ming army and the righteous army in Guangdong responded. Now, Lianchengbi was the governor-general, but he could only command the troops in Qinzhou. The difference in prestige between the two is not a little bit or two, but a world of difference.

A clever wife was hard to cook without rice. Liancheng Wall wanted to open up a channel to contact the court, but she was struggling to have no soldiers to implement it. After Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, came to Gaozhou, and learned about this matter. He suggested that the governor ordered the Taiping Army in Xiangshan to Qinzhou with the Governor's order, and then ordered the Taiping Army to send troops to Guangxi.

Zhang Xiaoqi believed that the Taiping Army had more than 10,000 troops and defeated the Qing army several times. Such elite troops were the loss of the Ming Dynasty and should be placed in a more useful place, so letting the Taiping Army fight Guangxi is undoubtedly a good choice.

Even the city wall was hesitant. Although the newly-launched Taiping Army could fight, it was not the original Ming official army, but the troops raised by Zhou Shixiang himself. He had never received any money and food supply from him. Now he suddenly asked someone to obey the order to fight Guangxi, but he really couldn't open the mouth. Moreover, the emperor had already appointed Zhou Shixiang as the general of Guangzhou, not the general of Guangxi, so it was inappropriate to transfer the Taiping Army to attack Guangxi.

In fact, the real reason why Lian Chengbi couldn't decide is that he cursed Zhou Shixiang a few days ago and sent someone to Kunming the memorial of Zhou Shixiang to ask for officials. Now he wants others to work hard, and the Governor must also consider how thick his face is.

Lian Chengbi said that he would discuss the matter when Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi came back. Zhang Xiaoqi had no choice but to stop talking about it.

Cheng Bangjun was deeply convinced of Zhang Xiaoqi's proposal. He couldn't wait to arrive in Xiangshan. After announcing the order, he urged Zhou Shixiang to immediately march westward as an imperial envoy, either by land or by water. He was determined to arrive in Qinzhou before August and then march towards Guangxi.

In order to motivate Zhou Shixiang to lead his army westward, Cheng Bangjun even hinted in front of Duke Xiang of Song that if the Taiping Army could advance westward and take Guangxi in one fell swoop, the court would definitely be the king according to Li Chengdong's old rules, and it would be no problem for the soldiers below Zhou Shixiang to be named Duke and Marquis.

Cheng Bangjun even said that although the Taiping Army defeated the Qing army near Guangzhou, it still retreated back to Xiangshan and could not take over Guangzhou to gain a real foothold. Since the Taiping Army does not have the ability to attack Guangzhou at present, it is better to go to Guangxi to contribute to the court and also seek a real territory for the Taiping Army. It is worse than occupying the small place of Xiangshan.

Duke Xiang of Song said this to Zhou Shixiang, but Zhou Shixiang sneered. Cheng Bangjun, a small chief, really thought he was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and he dared to mention the truth and speak nonsense. Can such a small chief be expressed as his small chief?

The Yongli court really wanted to enter Guangxi by itself, so he had to send a Grand Secretary to talk to him, or even the city wall came to tell him that at the worst, there was an imperial edict, and there was no official in charge of the Ministry of War that was in the empty talk.

When he went to Guangxi, Zhou Shixiang didn't think about it at all. He finally brought the Taiping Army to Xiangshan, and finally released the Qing army in Guangzhou twice. Now it is the time to consume the fruits of victory when the two sides stop fighting while the weather is hot, and consolidate the good fortune of Xiangshan and Taiping Army. He was so stupid that he led his team to Qinzhou to accept the command of Lianchengbi to fight Guangxi.

"Go and tell Cheng Bangjun that I am so busy now that I really can't find time to come to see him. If he wants to leave, we will send someone to escort him away. If he doesn't want to leave, then stay in Xiangshan and let him do whatever he wants. Let's talk about what I have done with you."

After Song Xianggong tactfully told Cheng Bangjun that Zhou Shixiang's words, Cheng Bangjun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. He shook his sleeves and went to Xinhui. Zhou Shixiang hit a wall, Chen Qice and Zhu Tong might not be unwilling to make such a great contribution to the court.

When Cheng Bangjun ran to Xinhui angrily, Zhou Shixiang checked the 3,000 new military uniforms he had just made in the newly established Taiping Military Uniform Division in Yongle Township.

The person in charge of the department is Lin Wan'er's father Lin Wanfu, but the Yang family from the TEDA store in Luodingzhou is the one who made military uniforms.

Because the Ming Dynasty was the red of the Deshen in Deshen, and the place in Guangdong was already hot, if the former black was still used, the Taiping Army would not expect to move in the sun. The heat could make people die of heat. Therefore, all the new military uniforms were red this time. In addition, considering the climate in Guangdong, these 3,000 new military uniforms were cloth armor instead of cotton armor. They were covered with cloth, with iron armor in the middle, and nailed armor on the surface.
