In the eight-year war with the rebels in Wu Sangui, the Qing court first used Lerkin, king of Shuncheng County, appointed him as "General Ningnan Jingkou" and led troops to Jingzhou (Jiangling, Hubei Province) to crusade against Wu Jun. Lerkin confronted Wu Sangui across the river and dared not cross the river for eight years. It was not until Wu Sangui died that he crossed the river to capture Changde. The court ordered him to go west to Chongqing, but he even begged for dismissal and refused to fight again. Kangxi had to withdraw his post and his title of county king.
1674, the Qing court appointed Taizikang (the uncle of Lejin) as the "appointed general", passing through Zhejiang and Fujian. Not only did Zheng of Taiwan Province Province capture Haicheng, but he also retreated to Zhejiang for two years. He was incompetent and timid in the military to the extreme, and was later punished as a nephew.

The Qing court sent two princes to Jiangxi: Prince Rab of Jane and Prince Yue Le of Wang Qin. Rabbu, like Lekin and Shu Jie, was afraid of death and winced, so his troops naturally had no fighting capacity. "General Dingkou" Yue Le is very capable and dares to fight hard. His troops successively captured Anfu, Duchang and Pingxiang. 1677, yue lejun invaded Hunan, which reversed the unfavorable situation that the Qing army was passively beaten at that time.
The main force of Yue Lejun's siege is not the "Eight Banners Army" of the Qing army, but the "green camp" of the Han army. In the process of unifying the whole country, "green camp" is the Ming army and other Han soldiers who will be incorporated into the Qing Dynasty. Referring to the original organizational system of the Ming army, it was reorganized into a battalion. In order to distinguish it from the four colors of yellow, white, red and blue of the Eight Banners, the green flag is used as the symbol of the troops, so it is called "green camp". China "green camp" has a total force of about 660,000 people, which are controlled and led by local governors, governors and governors respectively.
In the early days after the establishment of the Jin regime in Nurhachi, the surrendered Mongolians and Han Chinese were included in the "Eight Banners of Manchu Dynasty". With the participation of former Ming generals such as Geng, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, the Han army was formed. The Han army was initially divided into two wings, then into four flags, and finally developed into the "Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty" with the entry of Dourgen. At the same time, the troops dominated by Chahar and Harqin Mongols were compiled as the "Eight Banners of Mongolia".
The total number of troops in Manchu, Mongolian and Han 24 banners is less than 200,000, so it is impossible for these troops to occupy the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchu court mainly relied on Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Geng and other Ming generals to attack and destroy Zhujiajiang Mountain.

When Wu Sangui rose, there were 300,000 troops, all of whom were veteran fighters with strong fighting capacity. Fujian Geng Zhongjing has 6.5438+0.5 million troops, and Guangdong Shangzhixin has 6.5438+0.5 million troops. The Eight Banners Army may not be Wu Jun's opponent in strength and combat power, but the main force to defeat Wu Jun was the "green camp people" at that time.
Li Zhifang, Tong, Yao Qisheng, Zhou Youde, Zhao Liangdong, Zhang Yong, Wang Jinbao and other green camp leaders. After bitter struggle, Wu Sangui and his followers were divided one by one, and the territory of San Francisco was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Qing court.
Green camp's backbone troops are more than 200,000 people surrendered by Nanjing Ming Army and100,000 people surrendered by Jiujiang. For example, Zhang Yong, who was once the lieutenant of Zuo Liangyu, a famous soldier in Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the Qing army in Jiujiang.
Zhang Yong is good at leading troops to fight. Shunzhi years repeatedly made meritorious military service. When Wu Sangui rebelled, the king sent someone to surrender. Not only was he rejected, but also his envoys were publicly executed. Zhang Yong knows how to use people very well. He recommended Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao and took part in the counter-insurgency.

Zhao Liangdong was originally stationed in green camp, Shaanxi. When Wu Sangui rebelled, he was promoted to Tianjin company commanders. On the recommendation of, he and the general manager of Xining helped to pacify the king of Liangzhou. Subsequently, the Qing army marched into Sichuan in four ways. From 65438 to 0679, Zhao Liangdong entered Shaanxi from Gansu and occupied Hanzhong, then successively occupied Chengdu, Xichang and from Shaanxi to Kunming.
Zhao Liangdong joined the 400,000 troops of Beizi Zhangtai in Kunming, while there were only 5,000 in Wu Jun. Zhang Tai held his ground, did not dare to take the initiative to attack the city, and persuaded Zhao Liangdong not to make a move. Zhao Liangdong took the lead in attacking the city after receiving the information from Wu Jun in the city. Mrs. Zhang had to cooperate with the leader and quickly captured Kunming City, destroying the remnants of Wu Jun.
