The impact of Sun Kewang on the Allied side was far greater than that on the Qing Dynasty. The reason was very simple. Once Sun Kewang died, the possibility of the Qing Dynasty's proclamation on the entire province of Guizhou would be infinitely close to zero. Then, using the depth brought by Guizhou Province, the Ming army in the southwest could drag down the Qing Dynasty's large number of troops, which gave the United States Army the possibility of attacking other directions. For the Qing Dynasty, what affected its strategy was not Sun Kewang's life and death, but the civil strife in the Xiying.

According to the strategic plan of the Qing Dynasty, it will launch a full-scale attack on the southwest in the autumn and winter of the 12th year of Yongli. The Qing Dynasty formulated a five-way offensive plan. The western route was dominated by General Li Guohan, Dingxi and Pingxi King Wu Sangui, and went south from Sichuan to Guizhou. The main route was led by General Luo Tou of Ningnanjing, the Kou, and the main route was set out from Changde with Gushan Ezhenji Xiha, and the middle route was led by Gushan Ezhen Zhao Butai, who was stationed in the Eight Banners of Jiangning, led the Jiangnan reinforcements.

With some Huguang troops heading south to Quanzhou, Guilin, and the northern route was led by Shen Yongzhong, the remaining Han vassal Xu Shun Duke Shen Yongzhong, who led the Han vassal soldiers and some Jiangxi troops from Xiameiguan in Ganzhou. The eastern route was the Fujian-Zhejiang army led by Prince An Yuele. In addition to the eastern route, all the food and grass allocation was handled by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, while the overall command was handed over to Prince Yu Doni who set out from Beijing, and Doni also led 70,000 reinforcements from the north.

It can be seen that among the five major armies planned by the Qing Dynasty, the western route led by the Han army flag and the Guanning army and the main route dominated by the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are the main offensive points. The overall plan is to use the advantage of military strength to restrain the Allied forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, and then quickly capture Yunnan and Guizhou. Depending on the situation, the Qing Dynasty prepared the resources for this national war-level battle to solve Yunnan and Guizhou, and it depends on whether the attack in the direction of Yunnan and Guizhou will be smooth.

However, the civil strife in Xiying disrupted this plan, which forced the Qing Dynasty to launch a battle one year in advance. The disadvantage was that the northern reinforcements led by coach Doni were unable to arrive at the battlefield in time. The advantage was that the civil strife in the southwest gave the Qing Dynasty a chance. The Qing court finally made the decision to launch a battle in the autumn and winter of the eleventh year of Yongli, but made some changes.

First of all, the command of the front line was handed over to Hong Chengchou. After Duoni led reinforcements to arrive in the 12th year of Yongli, he would have completed the settlement. Anyway, Duoni, Prince Yu, was only twenty-three years old, as Duondo's son, and had no combat experience at all. He chose him to become the head coach. However, when the royal princes were withered, Fulin compromised to unite the relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners, Yue Le, who had more prestige and strength, had to be on guard against Zheng Fan and could not be transferred to the southwest.

The Qing court also covered up the truth about Sun Kewang's death. Although his plan to pacify Guizhou failed, Sun Kewang's influence was still there. A large number of letters copied from Sun Kewang were delivered to Xiangxi and Guizhou. Some of the confidants brought by Sun Kewang were also placed under Wu Sangui and Roto.

In terms of strategic goals, the Qing Dynasty also reduced the number of troops to lead Hong Chengchou to lead his troops to Guizhou. After the arrival of a large number of Manchu nobles and reinforcements led by Duoni, they would "take exclusively in Yunnan". In other words, the original wave of the wave turned into two consecutive attacks. Hong Chengchou's target was Guizhou, and Yunnan belonged to Duoni. As for Guangdong and Guangxi, it depends on the battle between Guizhou and Yunnan to consume troops and food. This means that the large-scale attack on Guangdong and Guangxi has been postponed to the thirteenth year of Yongli.

In July of the 11th year of Yongli, when the news of Sun Kewang's death was passed to Li Mingxun, Li Mingxun immediately held the Supreme Military Conference. Because the participants of the meeting included all important forces of the Allied Forces, the location of the conference was set in Kunming City.

Although in the eleventh year of Yongli, public opinion at home and abroad in the United States was recaptured by Guizhou and the military action to expel Sun Thief was attracted, resulting in a political incident that occurred in June of this year being buried. Of course, this was also related to the intentional concealment of the United States, which was the alliance between China and Ming dynasties.

Since its establishment, the United States faced relations with various regimes of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, the two major regimes of the Republic and Yongli formed an alliance with the United States. However, after Sun Kewang took over the southwest, the alliance and cooperation between the Yongli regime and the United States came to an abrupt end. It was not until Li Dingguo rescued Yongli from Anlong that the two sides formally formed a second official alliance. The Battle of Guangdong and Guangxi or the cooperation with the Qiongfan was more like the military cooperation between the Yongli foreign vassals and the foreign countries.

Although various negotiations and compromises were carried out in the second alliance, it was finally reached an agreement before the war began. Zhu Youlang and Li Mingxun, the most important of them, each determined their identities. Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, obtained the leadership position of the China-Ming Alliance as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and was actually recognized as the leader of the Chinese nation. Li Mingxun had the power to command the Zhongming Allied Forces and became the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

Yongli's acquisition is a name, and Li Mingxun's acquisition is real power. This time, the two sides submitted letters of state and signed a treaty, confirming the alliance relationship in the form of legal provisions adhered to by the United States. In the alliance treaty, the leader status with Yongli as the main and Li Mingxun as the auxiliary was lowered, thus lowering the Ming Dynasty's Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan to the third position in the power system.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty's opponents were no longer the United States of China and Zhu Ming's vassal states, but the Chinese nation's alliance, referred to as the Huan Alliance for short. The Chinese nation's alliance army, led by Commander-in-Chief Li Mingxun, officially won the title of Allied Army. The war, which was originally divided into two parts, the Sino-Qing War and the Ming-Qing War, became the webmaster of Chinese civilization and barbarism, and the Chinese nation's war against foreign aggression. In order to cover up the nature of the class struggle between the gentry and landlord class and the bourgeoisie and win more support, the Huan Alliance still defined the Huan Qing War as the national liberation war.

The most opposed to the Hua League was Zheng Chenggong, the vassal lord of Zheng Fan, entrenched in the Zhoushan area. No one considered his feelings. He was represented as joining the Hua League and accepting Li Mingxun's military command. However, although Zheng Chenggong was dissatisfied, he did not dare to object, unless he wanted to be a traitor of the Ming Dynasty and a traitor of the Chinese nation. The only thing that made Zheng Chenggong feel comfortable was that in the subsequent Huaqing War, Li Mingxun often only ordered Zheng Fan to cooperate in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, and the specific command was operated entirely by Zheng Chenggong.

The most critical issue of the Hua League is that where to return the land. In this regard, Zhu Ming's vassal states and the United States could not reach an agreement at all, so it was finally agreed to discuss one matter and one battle, which meant to discuss it once. The land occupied by the Qing Dynasty was regarded as the homeland of the nation, not the land of the Ming Dynasty. The terms in the Hua League Treaty were not acceptable to the scholars and officials, but Zhu Ming's current power was in the hands of the vassal states and treacherous ministers, and what they considered was nothing but actual interests.

In any case, the Hua Alliance has officially replaced the unified front of the Anti-Qing Dynasty and became the only legal armed force in the great cause of the Anti-Qing Dynasty. No armed forces that do not support or join the Hua Alliance are regarded as national rebellion and are wiped out. The loose unified front has become a united unit, and the unification of the army has also set off a new climax of the war against the Qing Dynasty.

Before the first military meeting of the Hua Alliance, debates about the strategy of this war were rampant. When news of Sun Kewang's death came, two different voices appeared within the Hua Alliance. In the end, the two voices would become one voice, and this military meeting was to make a strategic plan.

In the palace hall, long tables are lined up in the shape of U, and a huge map is hung at the opening of the U.S., and in the middle of the table is a huge sand table. Li Mingxun and Li Dingguo, deputy commander of the Allied Army, sat side by side directly opposite the map. On the left side of Li Mingxun are the Ming army vassal states led by Shu King Liu Wenxiu and Duke Lian Guoyuan Shizhong, and on the right side are generals of the United States Army and Navy, while the emperor ranks high above the imperial throne and does not actually participate in military meetings.

The Qing army's five-way attacks were marked on the sand table and on the map, and the scarlet arrows were particularly conspicuous, especially Guizhou where it pointed, which was shaking under the candlelight.

The hall was silent, no one spoke, everyone looked at Li Mingxun quietly, everyone knew the purpose of Li Mingxun summoning them, and Li Mingxun's eyes swept across everyone's face. In the eyes of these people, he saw that his desire for wealth and his yearning for war, everything gathered and intertwined, and it was an extremely hot gaze. For them, war means land and wealth.

"Generals." Li Mingxun stood up, and a powerful voice sounded in the hall, enough for everyone here to hear it clearly. Zhu Youlang on the imperial throne trembled slightly because of this sentence, and then sat upright. Li Mingxun said in a straight voice: "Generals, the barbarian Manchus launched the first full-scale attack on the Chinese nation. They intend to seize our land, enslave our tribes, and possess our wealth. The barbarian Manchu emperor granted all the authority of his minions. In the future, war will be rekindled on our land, but everything has changed, civilization has awakened and the nation has been unified. It is time to prove the power of civilization and nation to the Manchus!"

The rough soldier was ignited with fire in his heart and hammered the solid wood table with his fists to cater to the call from the leader. Li Mingxun walked to the sand table, stopped everyone's cheers, and used the baton to explain: "This time, the Qing Dynasty came in full swing, launched a full-scale attack on the front line of thousands of miles. It is said that the five routes were encircled, but in fact it was intended to seize Yunnan and Guizhou. It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers. As long as he destroyed his whole way, he could defeat the enemy's edge and successfully withstand the strongest wave of offensives from the Qing regime."

While giving advice on the sand table, Li Mingxun explained his strategic plan, which was in line with the two internal strategies of the Allied forces. Although the strategic directions were different, the methods were the same. The Allied forces thought that instead of passively defending against the five sieges, it was better to take the initiative to destroy the whole siege. The Qing Dynasty's offensive was invalid, but they all had their own opinions on which one siege to counterattack.

"And in this battle, our counterattack target is... Fujian!" Li Mingxun finally expressed his plan. It can be seen that the Ming army was a little disappointed because this was the plan of the United States Army, and the Ming army's plan was to counterattack the Western Army of the Qing Dynasty, namely Wu Sangui and Li Guohan.

One east and one west, polarization is still the reason for interests.

Whether it is the East Road Plan or the West Road Plan, the similarity is to sacrifice the land of Guizhou in exchange for another province. The difference is whether to exchange for Fujian or Sichuan. If Sichuan is obtained, the Ming army will benefit, and if Fujian is obtained, the United States will benefit.

"Do you have any objections?" Li Mingxun looked at everyone and asked.

Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli turned their attention to Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu almost at the same time, hoping that they could stand up and refute the negotiations, but in the end both of them remained silent. Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli naturally wanted to seize Sichuan, take control of the only wealthy land in the southwest, and seize a piece of profit for their troops. They believed that this was also in line with the interests of the Jinfan and the Shufan, but they forgot one thing: Li Mingxun was not a philanthropist.

Since the Battle of Guangdong and Guangxi, the United States has been helping Ming, seizing Guangdong and Guangxi for Li Dingguo, establishing Shu vassals and capturing Yunnan and Guizhou. What did the United States gain? Although it obtained many economic benefits, it had to have only Chaozhou in the land. Li Mingxun was not a philanthropist, so he naturally would not help Zhu Ming free of charge. This time, it was time for Zhu Ming's vassals to repay the United States. Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo both understood this principle, so they chose to remain silent.

Of course, this is just a division of interests. From a military perspective, attacking Fujian is simpler than attacking Sichuan. If you attack Sichuan, the troops, money and food will start from Guangzhou and pass through the entire Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and then you can supply it to the Sichuan Basin. The consumption in the middle is too large and the resources are wasted in the transportation link, which will inevitably lead to the inability to maintain a large-scale army on the front line. Therefore, attacking Sichuan must be dominated by the Ming army, especially the Shu vassal. Looking at the entire Allied army, the weakest one is the Shu vassal, who hand over the key tasks to the weakest army, and only idiots can do it.

Fujian is different. This is the place closest to the United States base camp. It has convenient sea transportation. The same resources can support a 100,000 army in Fujian. It is probably less than 20,000 to Yunnan. Moreover, in the coastal areas, the United States Army and the Marine Corps can participate in the war. It can be said that they have devoted the whole country to the battle. How can they win in the Qing Dynasty, Fujian and Zhejiang? How can they defeat Sichuan? Attacking Sichuan with all their strength is still ambiguous. If they go to Fujian, how can they win in one corner?

"We Qiongfan have no objection." Yuan Shizhong said first. Anyway, Qiongfan is a reserve team, and no matter which Fujian and Sichuan have won, they have no territory. Naturally, they choose to stand on the side of their old friends.

"There is no objection to the Shufan." Liu Wenxiu continued, knowing that Li Dingguo should have the last statement.

"No objection." Li Dingguo said at the end.
Chapter completed!
