Chapter 130
As soon as Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

The original management strategy in Huguang had already made him nearly sixty years old. After the three armies joined forces, the heavy affairs in Guizhou made the dim-sighted Governor Hong tired to deal with.

Under the heavy burden, his old bones were almost exhausted.

"Supervisor!" Luo Tuo and others quickly helped him.

"Supervisor, let's take care of ourselves for a while. I'll be waiting for Guizhou affairs." Li Benshen, the Zuobiao admiral under Hong Chengchou, said.

"You?" Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes.

Nowadays, most of the important Manchu and Qing ministers in Guiyang City are warriors.

Although there were far more civil servants than Hong Chengchou, he was the only one who could take charge of the overall situation.

If he rests, it will be a small matter if the Manchu army is defeated, but it will be a big deal if he shaves the heads of all the people in the world!

Hong Chengchou, who didn't have the guts to grow his own hair, now had only the option of shaving the hair of everyone in the world.

In order to prevent himself from being infamy for eternity, how could Hong Chengchou rest?How dare you rest!
If the Qing Dynasty could not dominate the world, Hong Chengchou would be infamy for eternity!
Especially Xiying and Chuangying in the southwest region, Commander Hong cannot destroy them while he is still alive.

After he dies, if the bandits who have been suppressed by him for decades become powerful, they will probably be able to spread their ashes to him!

If Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng are not eliminated, Hong Chengchou will be dead!I can’t even close my eyes!
"Everyone, my body can still withstand it. It's summer now. The intruders from east Kuei and the thieves from west Yunnan are ready to attack. If we are not careful, we will be completely defeated in Guizhou."

Hong Chengchou cupped his hands and said: "You can't rest at this time, and I can't rest either. Only by completely wiping out the bandits can the world be at peace and we can sit back and relax."

"For the sake of the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty, and for the people of the world, we can only stick to Guizhou, fighting day and night, to repay the kindness of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Supervisor is so righteous!" Luo Tuo was moved.

"We are willing to follow the governor and die for the Qing Dynasty!"

Li Benzhen and others shouted in unison, the momentum was overwhelming.

Most of the generals of the Green Camp in Huguang were former Ming troops. This group of people had a sworn hatred against Chuangying and Xiying.

In order to completely wipe out Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng and others, they also had high morale and risked their lives!
"Okay, okay!" Hong Chengchou coughed twice more.

"With loyal and good generals like you in our Qing Dynasty, the southwest region will surely be pacified!"

Looking at his old subordinates with high morale, Hong Chengchou laughed.

In the past, he led Zuo Liangyu, Bai Guangen, Liu Fangming, Dong Xueli, Chen De, Nan Yikui and others to deal with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Now although Zuo Liangyu and others are dead, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are also dead.

However, Governor Hong still led Zuo Liangyu and others' subordinates to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's adopted sons and subordinates unswervingly.

Although Hong Chengchou shaved his head, he still persisted in his mission of exterminating bandits.

Now that the old commander is about to complete a fatal blow against the rogue bandits, Governor Hong's heart is filled with pride.

"What the Superintendent said is absolutely true. With all the generals here, we, the Qing Dynasty, will surely be able to unify the world!"

Aixinjueluo Luotuo cupped his hands and said: "At that time, the world will be unified and the world will be at peace. The governor can take care of himself in his old age. You can all be promoted to high positions. You can enjoy the peace of the world with me, the Qing Dynasty, and leave your name in history!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic.

"Haha, what the general said is true. As long as we persist in March, by the beginning of autumn, our army will have sufficient food and grass, and King Xin's main force will enter Guizhou."

"By that time, Yunnan will be conquered in one fell swoop! We can all be crowned marquises and prime ministers, and our names will be passed down through history!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Luotuo laughed and said: "That's right! When the southwest is pacified, we will all be promoted to official positions. As for your hard work and meritorious service, Superintendent, the court will definitely reward you with high titles! Even if you are not a king, you should still be a prince or a marquis!" "

"Haha! If the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest can be pacified, I should indeed be knighted."

Hong Chengchou's eyes lit up and he was in a good mood and secretly said: "Although I did not lead any troops to join the imperial court, I have worked hard for many years and made great contributions in Zhili, Jiangnan, and Huguang."

"If we can wipe out the remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty, then the court will give me a title no matter what. Although it is impossible to be a king, it should not be a problem to be a marquis or even a duke."

For a time, Hong Chengchou was thinking about it and coveted the title of Qing Dynasty.

Although he was a civil servant, Governor Hong was a good hand in leading the troops. He stabilized the situation in Huguang. He also organized and trained the [-] elite green battalion. He was in charge of the overall situation of marching into the southwest.

His merits are known all over the world, and it can even be said that the most meritorious deeds in Southwest China belong to Governor Hong.

It stands to reason that no matter how great the merits are, our Qing Dynasty must give a decent title to the descendants of Fuze family, right?

Of course, it's better not to let Governor Hong know about what happens next.

Also without soldiers or generals, Sun Guozhu became the officially certified head of the Han Dynasty. Although he was killed by Qi Mo, the king's title was still passed on to his son, and he lived on for several years.

Although his title was continuously reduced later on, he still retained the title of first-class light carriage captain, and his descendants were prosperous for more than 100 years.

As for Governor Hong, who had made greater contributions, his family title was not as good as that of Sun Guoguo. When the family was at its lowest, even though the Sun family was demoted to the last rank, he was still the captain of Qingche.

But the captains of light vehicles are also divided into grades. The Sun family is the best first class, while the Hong family is the worst third class.

The title of the Sun family can be reduced continuously for decades, but the title of the Hong family's third-class light chariot captain doesn't even have much room for reduction!
If Commander Hong, who worked so hard for the Qing Dynasty, knew about his treatment, he would probably vomit blood and die.

The Lord of the Sun Kingdom was already the donkey who was killed, and Governor Hong's treatment was not as good as that of the Lord Sun.

It seems that in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, his old dog is really not as good as Sun Guozhu, the donkey who joined the gang at the end!
……

"We respect the general and the commander!"

In Guiyang City, in the former king's palace, An Kun and others raised their glasses.

"General An, you're welcome." Hong Chengchou smiled.

An Kun and others looked at the majestic King's Mansion with a glimmer of light in their eyes.

"Hmm...!" Hong Chengchou's heart changed, and he was keenly aware of the changes in An Kun and others.

"Sun Kewang's palace is quite impressive." For a while, many chieftains looked at the palace of the king with great curiosity.

Sun Guozhu carried out large-scale construction projects in Kunming and Guiyang and built his own palace.

His palace in Kunming was occupied by Yongli and turned into a royal palace, while his palace in Guiyang fell into the hands of the Qing army and was used by Luo Tuo and other Manchu and Mongolian officials.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties each occupied one of the two royal palaces, and the two provinces each occupied one province in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Sun Guozhu's huge family property was completely divided up by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which shows the necessity for him, the leader of the country, to deceive the Ming Dynasty and resist the Qing Dynasty.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not make it easy for Sun Guozhu, he could only carry the burden forward alone and overthrow the Ming and Qing Dynasties together.

Although Sun Guozhu's palace in Guiyang is not of real quality, it is still quite spectacular in the eyes of the country bumpkins like the chieftains of Guizhou.

After all, Shading Prefecture in Yunnan was shocked by Prince Mu's palace. The poorer chieftains in Guizhou would naturally be wide-eyed when they saw Lord Sun's palace.Except for An Kun, who had a great career in the Shuixi family, most of the chieftains couldn't help but feel emotional in the palace.

"Hmph! A bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world!" Luo Tuo and others sneered.

Sun Kewang's palace is indeed very good in Yunnan and Guizhou, but if it is placed in Beijing, let alone compare with the imperial palace and royal palace.

Even Luo Tuo's mansion was far superior to it. Living in Sun Kewang's palace, Luo Tuo still felt that he had been wronged.

I didn’t expect these bumpkins from Guizhou to be so ignorant!

"Sure enough, they are a bunch of unreliable rebels!" Many Manchu and Mongolian officials looked at the greedy performance of the chieftains and became wary in their hearts.

They were familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and believed Sun Kewang's words for a long time. Now that they saw the performance of the chieftains, they naturally felt that these chieftains were rebels.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the scene and frowned.

A large number of Qing army generals looked wrong. If this was revealed and the chieftains noticed something unusual, the situation would be bad.

"General." Hong Chengchou shouted softly and gave Luo Tuo a look.

Luo Tuo was suspicious after hearing this and didn't know Hong Chengchou's intention.

"Ahem!" Hong Chengchou coughed twice and winked hard.

Only then did Luo Tuo react.

"Today is a happy day. An Kun and the other chieftains have made meritorious service anyway and should be rewarded by the court. Today, the supervisor and I specially served General An Kun with wine to celebrate. What are you doing with such dead looks!" Luo Tuo scolded angrily.

"General, forgive me." The Manchu and Mongolian generals quickly reacted and apologized one by one.

"It's okay, general. The Manchu people are the master, and we are the servants. Is there anyone in this world who would criticize the master for being a servant?"

An Kun was deeply moved and used his little tail to excuse the Manchu and Mongolian officials.

"Good slave!" Luotuo laughed loudly after hearing this, raised his glass, and praised An Kun.

"Thank you for the compliment, General. I will definitely lead the Shuixi soldiers as the vanguard of the king's division, pacify Yunnan, and wipe out the Li Dingguo rebels!" An Kun expressed his loyalty.

"Okay, okay! After Yunnan is pacified, I will definitely ask for credit for you!" Luo Tuo sneered in his heart, but he still said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!" An Kun smiled flatteringly and quickly flattered Luo Tuo.

"Hmph! You dog slave, you said the same thing in front of Sun Kewang. With his past experience, there is no way to deceive me, Luo Tuo!"

In this way, Guiyang City was singing and dancing every night. Hong Chengchou showed great enthusiasm and held banquets every day to entertain An Kun and others.

An Kun and other leading chieftains were flattered and moved, and they repeatedly expressed their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

Then as time went by, something went wrong.

"Superintendent, General, we have been working hard in Guiyang for more than ten days. It's time to go back and reorganize the troops and advance for the king's division." An Kun said tentatively at the banquet.

"Don't worry. We have hundreds of thousands of troops in Guizhou. Li Dingguo will not dare to act rashly. General An will rest for a few more days. When the time comes, there will be opportunities for General An to lead his troops to kill the enemy and make achievements." Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

An Kun and others' hearts trembled. Now the Qing Dynasty is under house arrest.

"Good slave, do you think I, Luo Tuo, did not entertain you well in Guiyang?" Luo Tuo said, pretending to be displeased.

"Master's words are serious. I am very satisfied with the good food and drinks in Guiyang." An Kun and others replied.

Luo Tuo said without doubt: "In this case, let's stay a few more days. When June is over, you will return to Shuixi and other places to reorganize your troops and prepare to join our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to pacify Yunnan and wipe out Li Dingguo and others. The remnants of the past will be revealed.”

"Since the master has said this, the slaves naturally dare not disobey." An Kun said with a forced smile.

"Okay, okay! Good slave, let's drink this cup together!" Luo Tuo laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Master." An Kun was bored. After a glass of wine, he felt extremely melancholy and vaguely regretful.

"No, Yunnan is not at peace. Even if the Tatars want to kill their donkeys, they shouldn't do it at this time!"

Luo Tuo looked at An Kun's vague melancholy and sneered in his heart.

"Hmph! You are a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors. If it weren't for Governor Hong here, I would have killed you all and fed them to dogs!"

As the saying goes, loyalty does not mean absolute disloyalty. Under this chain of suspicion, Luo Tuo and others became more and more suspicious of An Kun and others.

Under Sun Guozhu's provocation, Luo Tuo and the others, who had already grown hairy in their hearts, would have fought with An Kun and other leading parties long ago if Hong Chengchou hadn't stopped them.

Hong Chengchou sighed slightly when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"It is absolutely impossible for An Kun and others to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Even if they are not traitors, once Li Dingguo and the remnants of Kuidong's shun army attack from two directions."

"When our army retreated in order to advance and abandoned Guiyang, these people saw that the situation was not right. They would definitely respond to Li Dingguo and the remnants of the Shun army from both sides and attack our army in order to receive a petition."

"In this case, if Li Dingguo and the remnants of the Shun Army send troops, they will not be able to stay, regardless of whether they are traitors or not."

Hong Chengchou frowned slightly and thought about it.

Hong Chengchou had seen many people like An Kun, and a man who had been loyal to Sun Kewang for ten years turned to Li Dingguo in the blink of an eye.

When the Qing army came, they betrayed Li Dingguo and the Yongli court, and showed their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty by shaving their hair and changing clothes.

What kind of loyalty can such a person have?

Although Hong Chengchou was doubtful about Sun Kewang's words, he also knew that even if An Kun and others were not traitors, they were still just outsiders.

Sometimes the enemy is even scarier than the enemy.

Governor Hong knew very well that Li Zicheng used to have hundreds of thousands of troops and had the potential to dominate the world.

In the end, why was the army defeated like a mountain? Apart from the fact that the Qing Dynasty had a strong army, wasn’t it because there was too much grass on the wall?
At that time, Li Zicheng had 50 million troops, including 20 direct soldiers and horses.

If Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and others had not exerted their utmost effort, would the [-] or [-] Qing banners that had entered the Pass have been able to conquer the world?

Wasn't it that after the Battle of Stone, there was too much grass on the wall in the whole north, and they felt that Li Zicheng was in trouble, so they all defected to the Qing Dynasty, and Chuang Wang lost the world?

In the Battle of Stone, Li Zicheng lost [-] yuan of his original capital of [-] yuan, which was already tragic.

But what was even worse was that Zhang Tianlin's [-] elite soldiers died unjustly at the hands of Datong soldiers.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers who broke into the camp were confused and confused by the internal rebellion of the second and fifth cadres.

If these tens of thousands of elites had not died unjustly in the rebellion of Erwu Tsai, Li Zicheng would not have been defeated so silently.

With the lessons learned from Li Zicheng, Hong Chengchou will naturally not make Li Zicheng's mistakes again. Unless the Qing Dynasty can always have the upper hand, otherwise if the situation is slightly wrong, he, the leader of the five provinces, will not hesitate to fight against the outside world and settle down at home first!
