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

Chapter 142: Worshiping the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the Eastern King’s grandson is expected!

As the saying goes, there is no better iron in Guangdong than Guangdong, and no better iron in Guangdong than Luoding.

The iron ore in Luoding and other places is of extremely high quality.

In this era of underdeveloped smelting technology, the quality of iron ore directly determines the quality of weapons.

This is also the reason why Foshan’s firearms are the best in the world.

Foshan is located in the Pearl River Delta area with convenient transportation.

It is close to Luoding, Shaozhou, Nanxiong and other iron ore producing areas.

The iron armies of Luoding, Nanxiong, Huaiji and Lianzhou were all lost to Foshan.

And it is backed by the business center of Guangzhou.

It develops naturally and naturally.

And Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's forces were forced into Guangzhou city.

The best-quality Luoding iron mine has long been controlled by Sun Guozhu.

With these resources, as long as they are used properly, not to mention a mere [-] new recruits, even hundreds of thousands of them may not be unable to be armed.

Of course, Luoding iron ore is now the highest quality in China.

But the iron ore in Hainan is the best in the world.

The iron content of its iron ore shocked the world.

It’s just that in this era, the iron mine in Hainan has not yet been mined.

Lord Sun has no time to go to Hainan to look for mines.

Speaking of mines, there is the Fenghuangshan Silver Mine in Nanning, Guangxi!
In just one year, the right way is to make full use of existing resources and integrate them. If we really focus on prospecting, one year will pass in a blink of an eye.

"Please rest assured, Lord, Annan's young men will die in the mines if they are kept in custody!" Wan Niance said.

Everyone knows this about mining.

Especially now, in order to build ordnance, Sun Guozhu has even arranged an eighteen-hour working day for technical talents such as craftsmen, just like us.

As for the miners, in order to build good ordnance as soon as possible, the supervisors in the iron mines in Luoding and other places forced them to do it to death.

Of course, Sun Guozhu was still relatively soft-hearted. Not only did the miners have enough to eat, but they also paid their wages.

Compared with the bad things we did in the Qing Dynasty, the miners in Guangdong and Guangxi should be satisfied.

You know, when the Qing army forced the people to dig trenches and besiege Nanchang, they only gave them one meal of gruel every day.

Not only that, the old and the weak were killed, and the women were raped, leaving only the young and strong.

After the trenches were dug, the plundered men and women were sold together.

As a result, dozens of miles outside Nanchang City turned into a hell on earth.

Compared with our Qing Dynasty, Sun Guozhu was given three meals a day, and he was fully fed. Not only that, but he also received generous wages.

Although his behavior will be criticized by thousands of people in later generations, in this era, Lord Sun is already a good person.

But having said that, today's heavy work will eventually kill people.

So instead of killing the Han people and the mountain people, it would be better for the young men from Annan to come!

This is also the reason why Lord Sun asked Zheng Lord 30 Ananding Zhuang.

Annan has a population of tens of millions, and it is still possible to produce 30 strong people.

With these 30 Anand strong.

If the Han people and mountain people in Guangdong and Guangxi are young and strong, many fewer people will die.

"Nian Ce, Annan people are still human beings after all. We don't need to pay wages. But since we are not short of food now, everyone's rations should be sufficient. If we can reduce the number of deaths, we should die as little as possible."

Lord Sun spoke leisurely.

"The king has a kind heart!" Wan Niance sighed with emotion.

"I'm not kind-hearted, I think Annan's young men are an important labor force, and we are not short of food. It is cost-effective to keep them alive and do more work." Sun Guozhu said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Wan Niance, Zhang Hu, Ma Zhaoxi, Fang Yuxuan and others were instantly petrified.

The words of the leader of my own country are really... really...

"Changliang!" Zhang Hu gave a thumbs up.

"The leader of the country is very direct when doing things, and his subordinates admire him!"

"This is how we use Annan's young men!"

Sun Kewang rolled his eyes like Zhang Hu, which was the case many times.In the history of the country that Sun Guozhu asked Fang Yuxuan to compile for him, Sun Kewang's image is not as good as Zhu Chongba's!

It is a pity that after the fall of Sun Guozhu, this national history did not have a chance to be published.

Otherwise, even if it is black, the people under his command can help Lord Sun turn it into white.

"Okay, everything is on track now. Our [-] new recruits will be trained by the end of this year and they will be extremely capable." Sun Kewang spoke slowly.

Regardless of the short training time for his [-] recruits, in fact, the musketeers and cuirassiers can quickly become combat effective in three months.

With such combat power, the morale of the new recruits is also not low.

Originally, sufficient food and pay could enable the recruits to fight for Sun Guozhu. In Guangdong and Guangxi, these [-] recruits were divided into fields.

With a total of thirty acres of land, in the eyes of these recruits, Sun Guozhu became the real father of the king.

It's more than that, it's different from other armies.

Sun Kewang's new army provides pensions for the disabled and also provides work arrangements.

If he died in battle, his wife, children, and children would not have to worry about it.

With so much money, food, dignity and Sun Kewang given to the new army, the morale of this army is definitely the highest in this era.

You must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty only gave food and salary to the Eight Banners soldiers in many cases, but not dignity.

In Guangdong and Guangxi, the disabled soldier Sun Kewang directly arranged to guard the city gates, standing at the gates of major cities with his head held high.

It would be abnormal if the recruits were still unwilling to fight for such courtesy.

Of course, in theory, Sun Kewang should have instilled faith in the soldiers.

But in this era, the ideas of later generations will not work. Whether it is gcism or nationalism, they need to be implemented at the right time.

Take post-nationalism, for example. It emerged in Europe after the collapse of the religious system to fill the gaps in the minds of ordinary people.

God is unreliable, so people can only trust their compatriots.

But now, it’s the current state of mind of the people.

Sun Guozhu felt that it would be better to use religion to engage in nationalism and gcism.

What is a nation after all? What is gc?People really don’t understand now.

But when it comes to gods and Buddhas, ordinary people really believe in them!
Not to mention the common people, even Li Dingguo next door is now counting on the Heavenly Emperor's heavenly soldiers and thunder!
So Sun Guo mainly played this trick.

A worshiping emperor sect must be established.

But Sun Guozhu felt that he couldn't play with this kind of feudal superstition. He didn't have the talent of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, and he would be easily tolerated by the law of heaven.

Therefore, Sun Kewang could only use the lowest version of Huayi Debate to brainwash and inject spirit into ordinary soldiers.

Fortunately, material is the foundation. No matter how loud the doctrine is shouted, material is the key!

There was no division of land, and even after shouting slogans for a long time, the people came to their senses.

Sun Guozhu's land distribution has been completed, and the morale of his one hundred thousand recruits is naturally good.

After all, the lives of ordinary people in this era are hard, and they dare to risk their lives for just a few taels of silver.

What's more, the one-stop service from Lord Sun?
"What the Lord said is absolutely true. The morale of the recruits is very high. They must express gratitude to the Lord for his kindness before eating every day. Although there is no blood yet, when the war starts, and they are led by elite soldiers, they will surely howl each and every one of them."

Liu Tianxiu, who even dared to shave his hair for the sake of Lord Sun, said.

"Yes, with my [-] elite troops leading them, the combat effectiveness of these new recruits is definitely not low." Sun Kewang nodded slightly.

The more than 20 soldiers of Xiying were previously only led by [-] Daxi remnants, but even during such a major counterattack, the performance of Xiying's soldiers and horses still shocked the world.

But now Sun Ke hopes to lead [-] recruits with [-] old soldiers, and his structure is already very healthy.

You must know that Li Zicheng took more than 1000 Shangluoshan brothers and developed hundreds of thousands of troops in two years.

Although the defeat was a blur, Shunjun also performed brilliantly.

"Although our army has many new recruits, the Eight Banners is no longer the Eight Banners it used to be. The veterans who entered the customs before and after the war are gone. Although the newly formed flag soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped, they are just like our recruits. It is an existence that has not seen blood.”

Sun Kewang said solemnly: "With one hundred thousand of my new soldiers fighting against tens of thousands of Eight Banners, we may not lose!"

In fact, during the Xiying counterattack, neither Li Dingguo nor Sun Kewang's troops fought any battles.

The reorganized army of Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo could only fight some Nanming warlords in Sichuan and Guizhou.

When Li Dingguo's troops fought against the Eight Banners,
Sun Kewang said solemnly: "With one hundred thousand of my new soldiers fighting against tens of thousands of Eight Banners, we may not lose!"
