At the beginning of 1658, the Qing army took advantage of the aftermath of Sun Kewang's rebellion to mobilize a large army to launch an attack on the Yongli regime in the southwest, and it was not until July 1658 that the panicked Yongli imperial court calmed down, and Li Dingguo, the King of Jin, sent troops from Kunming to Guizhou to meet the Qing army, and by this time, the whole province of Guizhou had basically fallen into the hands of the enemy.
All the Ming armies were defeated.
It should be said that Li Dingguo's strategic vision is feasible to a certain extent. According to qing records, on September 23 of that year, "there were hundreds of thieves who secretly attacked the county seat of Wuchuan and took Ma Youhua (qingting county order) to "September 26" According to the wen report of Ran Qibi, the anti-thief Wang Youjin and Wang Guangxing, the anti-thieves Wang Youjin and Wang Guangxing, coerced the fourteen native soldiers of Tangya Middle Road, and directly invaded the youyang territory. From the tenth day of the first month of September to the twelfth, sixteenth, and seventeenth days, even the chong thief battalion was repeatedly captured, and it was bound to be annihilated, and Gu Wei Sinan "the eighth day of the first month of October" and according to the sinan provincial newspaper of the department: The thieves have crossed Youyang, the forward sentinel to Xiakou, 20 or 30 miles away from the Yinjiang County to which they belong, and 60 or 70 miles away from the city of Sinan Province, the people have rushed to the scene, the matter is urgent, and the beggars are in a hurry, and they are in a hurry to send out large troops, and these "thieves" are the subordinates of Wang Youjin, the Marquis of Nanmingning, and Wang Guangxing, the Marquis of Jingzhou, who were originally active in the area of Meitan County. After to Dabaoshan.
Qing soldiers gathered in Guiyang.
After the collapse of the southwest war, these Ming armies, who still had the strength of a war, under the orders of Li Dingguo, attacked the city in the north of Guizhou and the south of Chongqing, first attacking Wuchuan, then attacking Youyang, and then preparing to attack the Yinjiang River in Sinan Province. There are also "rebellious thieves Bai Wenxuan, encamping in the horse farm, fearing that the Zunyi soldiers will attack, relying on the mountain fence to rely on the dangerous Tunza, entangled Wang Youjin, Wang Guangxing, Mo Zongwen, SanTan, Hao, Liu, Yuan, and Ta Zhu rebellion, waiting for their same move, that is, to zunyi" Bai Wenxuan's department united with the thirteen Ming armies in the east and prepared to counterattack Zunyi from Chongqing.
The counter-offensive against the Qing army was already difficult to succeed.
The Eastern Ming Army also participated in this counteroffensive.
Li Dingguo himself "recently distributed the pseudo-Dragon Dragon Camp Qi Sansheng and so on, leading the masses out of Pudingwei, that is, Anshun Province, until Pingba Wei was stationed, and then divided the pseudo-Bo Li Rubi and others, in the Chicken Farm place Tunza, each with an elephant, more than a hundred miles away from Qingya, one hundred and twenty miles away from the city of Guizhou Province", at the same time, he also ordered the governor Luo Dashun to attack the newly added acropolis, and the momentum of the Qing army in Guiyang was attacked by many roads. However, at this time, a large number of Qing troops had gathered in the Guiyang area, and although the idea of attacking separately and attacking had a certain rationality, it was no longer operable at this time.
The Qing army was pressing forward step by step.
Many Qing dynasty nobles participated in this battle.
Fortunately, the great general Luo Tuo was stationed in the provincial capital in front of the army, and he was a giant of Yungui all the way. He also transferred the officers and men of the Daniel Zhang, and coordinated with Meile Zhangjing li ruchun to prevent Qingya from thinking that it was a horn, and the thieves of Pingba did not dare to directly invade the interior. However, Wuchuan County, which belongs to Sinan Province, and Meitan County, which belongs to Pingyue Province, have no city walls, and there are no more soldiers to be stationed to guard, so Ma Youhua of Zhixian County of Wuchuan County is attacked and captured by thieves, Liao Guangjing of Zhixian County of Meitan County escapes as a thief, and the instructor of the Department, Kuang Shixiong, is captured as a thief. When the official Wang Shishi stopped his horse, he urgently dispatched the officers and men of the four towns to go to Sinan to suppress it. And the rebellious thief Wang Youjin, Wang Guangxing, etc., went away with the wind. At the same time, after the Ming army of Luo Dashun's army recaptured the newly acropolis, it was defeated by the Qing army Wang Jinbaobu, and the remnants fled into the 100,000-xi mountains. This four-way attack on Guiyang was easily defused by the Qing army.
Qing firearms units.
At this point, there is nothing more that can be done.
After Li Dingguo's counterattack failed, the Qing army under the command of King Doni of XinJun (Duoduo's second son) made a three-way assault, and Li Dingguo was completely passive. In November of that year, the main force of the Qing army attacked Anzhuangwei, killed the Ming general Liu Zhenguo, and then attacked the chicken back in Yongningdong, Guizhou, the Ming army of BaiWenxuan was short of clothes and food, and abandoned the chicken back, and wu Sangui's Qing army entered Bijie Qixingguan, and as a result, in early December of that year, the Qing army, under the guidance of local guides, bypassed the Seven Star Pass, forcing the Ming army of baiwen to directly withdraw to Yunnan, while the Qing army of Zhao Butai crossed the Panjiang River and had already occupied Anlong, Zhenfeng, Huangcaoba and other places. At this time, Li Dingguo himself was still facing off with the Qing forces in the Bijie area, but the Qing forces in the north and south were already approaching Yunnan at this time, and there was no point in patrolling the territory of Guizhou, so the Ming army was forced to withdraw to Yunnan to defend the precarious Yongli imperial court, so the whole province of Guizhou fell. In early December, Li Dingguo played a game to the Yongli Emperor, asking the Yongli Emperor to abandon Kunming and move to Yongchang.
The Ming army was forced to withdraw to Yunnan.
In fact, it can be said that in the second half of 1658, the Qing army brigade gathered in Guiyang, Li Dingguo with poor and weak troops, it is impossible to retake Guiyang again, and the Qing army once again divided the troops, the main force against Li Dingguo, the north and south roads encircled the rear of Li Dingguo's army, directly into Yunnan, to this point, the fate of the Southern Ming Dynasty, has been irreversible.
