At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 124 Sun Kewang shared the same fate as the Qing Dynasty

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, no matter what!" In the king's palace, dozens of Daxi civil and military officials shouted in unison, with high morale.

Sun Kewang is very organized in Guangxi. Step by step, the situation is getting better and better.

Therefore, the people in Daxi were at peace. Everyone came out from the confusion of the battle of Jiaoshui and the loss of Yunnan and Guizhou, and became full of fighting spirit again.

This spiritual energy has been restored, and I am naturally full of energy, forming a good cycle.

"Pass my order to Wang Shangli to dispatch five thousand elites to return home quickly, and then send three thousand Yunnan-Guizhou brothers, [-] new soldiers, and [-] chieftain soldiers from Guangxi to rush to Guangzhou and suppress Shang Kexi to death!"

"Remove the obstacles to our Daxi's equalization of farmland in Guangzhou!"

"I obey the Lord's order!" a group of civil and military officials saluted.

Sun Kewang's [-] elite troops expanded to more than [-] troops after coercing the garrison in the interior of Guizhou, replenishing the remaining members of his family, and absorbing the surrendered troops of the Green Camp.

Compared with Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's capital of [-] yuan, it has a huge advantage.

However, these troops were very scattered. Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng led [-] troops to garrison near Guangzhou, monitoring Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao.

Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi took fifteen thousand to Annan to conquer the Zheng family.

The remaining [-] elites were scattered in Liuzhou, Nanning, Xunzhou and other places.

Therefore, the current Lord Sun is just like our Qing Dynasty. On the surface, it is extremely powerful, but in fact it is empty.

The Qing Dynasty has too many things to do, so now we are doing the work with the outsiders and the middle.

Sun Guozhu has too many things to do, so now he is working hard from outside.

The Qing Dynasty's more than 30 bannermen, including the elite Green Battalion, total less than [-] armored elite soldiers.

One hundred thousand troops were invested in the southwest battlefield, and another [-] to [-] troops were deployed in Yiling, Jingzhou, Yunyang, and Xiangyang areas to guard against the Shun Army.

Tens of thousands of Doni's Eight Banners are in Henan, preparing to escape the summer heat. More than 2 people from Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, and Xian Guoan are struggling with Sun Guozhu in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Important towns such as Beijing and Xi'an need to be garrisoned, and Fujian and other places also need to be on guard against Guo Xingye.

30 elite soldiers were counted left and right, and in the end there were only more than 2 armored men left in the entire Jiangnan including the Eight Banners.

This is why Shunzhi almost peed his pants when he heard that Guo Xingye's main force entered the Yangtze River.

Our Qing Dynasty now seems to control most of the world and has regained the power to dominate the world.

But in fact, the military strength has been stretched to a critical point.

After the great victory at Zhenjiang, we, the Qing Dynasty, gathered together more than 1 armored elites, led by Da Su, to go south to rescue Nanjing.

Of course, once Nanjing is defeated, our Qing chessboard will be completely destroyed.

This is true for the Qing Dynasty, which had a great family and great business, let alone the current Lord Sun.

His more than 5 yuan was still a watered-down elite. At this time, he was stretched thin and could not make ends meet.

Not only should Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao be suppressed, but Annan should also be attacked.

We also have to guard Guangxi to guard against rebellion by the national security forces and chieftains.

Not long ago, Wang Dewang was asked to take the Xunzhou garrison and a group of new soldiers and chieftain soldiers to surround Wuzhou with the King of Yi's Golden Seal in a mighty manner, hoping to control this transportation hub.

Therefore, no matter how crowded they are, they can only add three thousand Yunnan-Guizhou brothers to Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng.

In fact, Lord Sun had more than [-] troops in front of him at this time, and [-] new soldiers, plus chieftain soldiers, green camp soldiers, and rebels.

Calculated, there are 30 people in Dunima.

But it is the same as the millions of people in the Qing Dynasty, most of them are mobs.

Only the more than 5 elite troops in front of us are the soldiers and horses who can truly accomplish great things.

Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao also have a nominal number of [-] people.

But if something really happens, only the old capital of [-] yuan is reliable.

In the past, Li Zicheng also had hundreds of thousands of troops, and he had the power to dominate the world.

But behind a stone, except for a few of the soldiers and generals who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty, most of them are burdens.

If Jiang Xiang and Tang Tong hadn't taken action, annihilating Li Zicheng's [-] capital in Shanxi and northern Shaanxi, and achieving better results than a piece of stone, Li Zicheng would not have been unable to defend Shaanxi and Gansu and suffered a total defeat.

Of course, for more than ten years in Hedong and Hexi for more than ten years, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao have witnessed the collapse of Li Zicheng before, and now they will also have the same treatment.

Their old duty station is in Zhaoqing and other places, monitoring Green Camp.

Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were divided into towns to monitor the surrendering troops and withdraw as soon as possible.

As long as the general situation prevails, the Eight Banners garrison in Zhaoqing and other places will be swallowed up by the terrifying waves.

……

Guangzhou, Foshan.

Under a bright blue canopy, Zhang Sheng cocked his head and retreated.

"Are you also a craftsman?" Hanchuan Hou squinted his eyes and asked Wu Dalang, who was crooked and cracked.

"Back to Lord Marquis, I have been a craftsman in Foshan for more than 20 years. My ancestral craftsmanship is famous throughout Foshan!" Wu Dalang complimented.

"With your body... don't try to bluff me!" Zhang Sheng said suspiciously.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wu Dalang, who is considered strong enough in Japan, quickly waved his hand and said: "Master Hou, even though he is short, he is a good hand in making guns and cannons. "

"Oh?" Zhang Sheng glanced at the calluses on Wu Dalang's hands and felt a little more convinced.

"Go and perform for me."

"Okay!" Wu Dalang quickly walked to the iron stove, picked up various tools, and played with them in a stylish way. At a glance, he knew that he was an old craftsman.

"Okay! The settling-in allowance is 20 taels. You should know the wages after arriving in Guangxi."

"Clear, clear!" Wu Dalang said quickly: "One tael per month and five dou of rice. If you do a good job, there will be extra rewards!"

"It's good to know." Zhang Sheng said calmly: "I have just arrived in Foshan, and you and other unscrupulous people thought that our front army was lying to you. How about it? Now you know how to have a good future, right?"

"Don't blame me, Marquis. It's the young people who are ignorant and misunderstood the kindness of the Lord and the Marquis. You deserve to die, you deserve to die." Wu Dalang slapped himself several times.

"Okay, okay, go get 20 taels of household allowance and five shi of rice, and work hard when you get to Guangxi. If you do well, you might even get a knighthood." Zhang Sheng waved his hand.

"Thank you Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis!" Wu Dalang was extremely excited and kowtowed quickly.

"You have to thank the lord of the country. I was also sent to Foshan by the lord of the country. If the lord of the country hadn't come to Guangdong and Guangxi, would I have had such a good life as you unscrupulous people?"

Zhang Sheng ate a piece of barbecue and said while holding a wooden sign.

"Yes, yes! The king is the reborn parents of us Foshan people!" Wu Dalang said quickly.

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Sheng waved his hand.

When he first arrived in Foshan with his troops, the people of Foshan felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

As a result, Zhang Sheng's task of recruiting craftsmen in Foshan was quite unsatisfactory, and he was very angry and had no place to vent his anger.

Fortunately, the troops in front of the troops who carried out the five essentials of marching were strictly disciplined, and the green battalion troops in Guangzhou also suppressed the troops in front of the troops, and they had a completely new look.

As time went by, the phenomenon of military and civilian fish and water conditions naturally appeared near Guangzhou.

Faced with the money and food provided by the Qianqian Army, the craftsmen in Foshan naturally flocked to it and risked their lives for money and food.

Following Zhang Sheng's wave, Wu Dalang walked into the process.

"Name, place of origin, family background." An official said.

"Sir, Zhang Ertiao lives in Foshan City. He has a mother-in-law and three children at home."

"Are your family members going to Guangxi? If they go to Guangxi, they can allocate land." The official continued. "Divide the land!" Zhang Ertiao swallowed hard.

"Sir, my mother-in-law is not in good health and needs to take medicine. The baby is too young, so I won't go to Guangxi."

"That's it." The official was slightly moved.

Although the craftsmen in Foshan created countless firearms, they could only live hand to mouth.

Zhang Ertiao's family is pretty good, at least they have a place to live in the county.

"The settlement fee is 20 taels, you can weigh it yourself."

Another official proposed several ingots.

Zhang Ertiao quickly picked it up.

"That's enough! These 20 taels are enough!"

Zhang Ertiao was overjoyed and excited when he touched his 20 taels of silver.

"That's of course. No matter who we, the king, give money and food as much as we say! We will never withhold money."

The official raised his fists and said with respect.

"Master, you are a good person, and the king is an even better person!"

Zhang Ertiao knelt down with 20 taels of silver in his arms, his eyes red.

The money and food for serving as soldiers in our Qing Company will be deducted, let alone craftsmen like them.

Although the salary of the green camp soldiers seems to be decent, even the guards receive one tael of silver a month.

But in fact, it is just one person, and only virtue survives. If he has a wife and parents, it will be very difficult.

That’s not all. In addition to deductions, our Ming Dynasty also has unpaid wages, and so does our Qing Dynasty!

If it hadn't been for the large number of Green Camps that had sounded the alarm to our Qing Dynasty, the Green Camps would not have been alone and only survived by virtue, but had looked up to our Ming Dynasty.

This is true even for soldiers, let alone craftsmen like Zhang Ertiao.

Now that he had received the full amount of 20 taels for the first time, Zhang Ertiao was so moved that he knelt down.

"Okay, let's go to the back to collect the food. From now on, we will follow the king and live a good life." The official said.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, Lord!" Zhang Ertiao nodded a few times.

Follow the instructions and continue to collect your own food.

"Five stones of rice and grain, send them to the county seat!" Another official said.

Several soldiers in advance were pushing a small cart, loaded with five stones of grain, and were preparing to enter the city.

"Master Bing, let me do it." Seeing this, Zhang Ertiao felt even more moved.

I am less anxious and more looking forward to going to Guangxi.

How had he seen such a good master and soldier in Foshan!

"No need, this is the military order from the Marquis."

Several officers and soldiers of the Qianqian Army pushed the grain and escorted Zhang Ertiao into Foshan City.

"Alas!" Seeing this, the Foshan County Magistrate sighed on the city wall.

After Zhang Sheng extorted money and food, he asked him to open the city gate of Foshan.

The Foshan County Magistrate naturally refused to comply.

But when Zhang Sheng raised the cannon, his subordinates did not dare to disobey him.

Since there were no Eight Banners garrison in Foshan, they naturally fell into the clutches of the enemy under the surprise attack of the Jiaqian Army.

The green camp soldiers happily received the silver reward, and the common people happily received some rice grains.

The whole of Foshan turned into a sea of ​​joy, which only brought suffering to him and the gentry in the city.

Soon five stones of grain were delivered to Zhang Ertiao's home.

"My dear, I'm going to Guangxi to work for the State Council. You take the money and food to keep yourself healthy and take good care of the children." Zhang Ertiao's eyes were red.

"Don't worry, you craftsmen's wives, children, and children will be taken care of by our front army, so nothing will happen to you in Foshan."

"If your mother-in-law gets well and your baby grows up, you can go to Guangxi, or you can come back when the king takes Guangzhou." A soldier from the Qianqian Army said.

Scenes like this were staged every day in Foshan. Countless craftsmen took their families or said goodbye to their families, sailed into Guangxi, and were placed in workshops in Nanning, Xunzhou and other places to continuously build various weapons for Lord Sun.

"Master Hou, it's time for you, old man, to go back and rest." Outside Foshan City, an official advised.

"No need, I am bored, I am bored, I would like to have some fun."

Zhang Sheng hung the wooden stick and said boredly.

This Guangzhou Sun Kewang would not let him fight, and the gentry Sun Kewang would not let him kill him.

As a result, in Foshan, Zhang Sheng, a tiger general, felt uncomfortable and bored.

"Tell me, why doesn't the king let us attack Guangzhou?" Zhang Sheng looked into the distance.

"Master Marquis, the leader of the country naturally has the right to be the leader of the country. Guangzhou is a strong city and it will be difficult for us to defeat it in a short period of time."

"Boring, really boring." Zhang Sheng yawned.

"Master Marquis, this is a serious matter, and there is no way the king's plan could go wrong!"

"Of course I know this. I don't dare to violate the military orders of the king."

Zhang Sheng stretched and said slowly.

"Let's go! Go for a walk with me." Zhang Sheng stretched his body and prepared to get on his beloved horse and lead his men for a walk around Foshan.

Then at that moment a fast horse came.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Kingdom has given orders!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Sheng's expression changed and he quickly accepted the order.

As soon as the edict was opened, Zhang Sheng was instantly confused.

"Send the order and quickly prepare for war. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao may be coming out of Guangzhou!"

……

Yongli year 12, May 1658 AD.

Liu Tianxiu led [-] elite soldiers, [-] new soldiers, and [-] chieftain soldiers, a total of more than [-] people, down the river from Nanning to Wuzhou.

Ma Xiong's troops in Wuzhou had been surrounded by General Wang Dewang and his troops and ordered to hand over Wuzhou.

Seeing that the situation was not good, food and grass were approaching in the city.

Ma Xiong quickly sent people out of the city to negotiate with Wang Dewang and Liu Tianxiu.

The next day, Ma Xiong abandoned the city with two thousand elite soldiers of Dingnan Fan and headed north to Guilin. Wuzhou fell into the hands of Sun Kewang.

Then Wang Dewang and Liu Tianxiu joined forces, and the green battalion soldiers in Wuzhou City also joined the army for the reward of silver.

Tens of thousands of people continued eastward along the river and arrived in Guangzhou Prefecture at the end of May.

At this point, in the entire territory of Guangzhou Prefecture, the rebels, chieftains, and green camps totaled more than 15 soldiers and horses. Sun Kewang had an overwhelming military advantage.

Sun Kewang appointed Feng Shuangli, King of Xing'an, as his general, and commanded more than [-] soldiers and horses in Guangzhou Prefecture. They advanced to the gates of Guangzhou City and suppressed the main forces of the two vassals in Guangzhou City. They were shocked to the point where Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were heartbroken.
