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

Chapter 160 The Untouchable Army, Conquer the World!
Thinking that his Qianqian army could eat one or two meals of meat every day, the Yungui old man even had enough to support him.

In terms of military pay and land, everyone wants to be well-off.

Lord Sun was high-spirited and confident.

With such a large army and enough veterans from the West Camp to lead it, as long as it can win a few battles, build up confidence, and see blood, then such an army will be invincible in this era.

"Although Gu's new recruits have only been trained for a few months, due to the supply of meat, their training volume in one year is enough to match the two or even three years in Yunnan in the old days."

"When Gu leads the army and defeats Guilin, Yongzhou, Hengyang, Changsha and other places, and exposes the new soldiers to blood, Gu's army can face the Eight Banners directly!" Sun Kewang said with a smile.

"What the Lord said is that the new recruits are now fully trained and supported, and there are enough officers and veterans to lead them. As long as we fight a few tough battles, our elite troops will not be afraid of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners at all!" Zhang Hu agreed.

"Xian Guoan, I will use you to train troops." Sun Kewang raised his head and looked north, smiling slightly.

The Qing court deployed two troops, Xian Guoan and Chen De, in Guilin and Yongzhou.

I thought that even if I wanted to go north, the more than 1 elite troops of Xian Guoan and Chen De would be able to stop them with the help of the fortified city.

As everyone knows, this move plays into Sun Guozhu's ambition.

If it weren't for the more than 1 elite soldiers used to train his 10,000+ army.

When facing the main force of the Eight Banners, Sun Guozhu really lacked confidence!

With these more than 1 elite soldiers, Sun Guozhu's newly organized and trained Jiaqian Army could, like Li Dingguo, first win two major victories in Jingzhou and Guilin, and then train with the elite troops of Green Camp and Dingnan Fan before facing off against the Eight Banners.

Sun Kewang smiled confidently, and then continued walking with a group of his men to see the situation in Xuanhua County after a year of great governance.

"Wei Chen, Yang Xuancheng, meet the Lord!"

Upon learning of the arrival of Lord Sun, the magistrate of Xuanhua County, who was promoted from the six administrative departments, quickly led the crowd to welcome him.

"Get up." Sun Kewang looked at everything in Xuanhua County and said with admiration.

"Magistrate Yang, it seems that your Xuanhua County will have a good harvest this year."

"Reporting to the Lord of the Country, it all depends on the Lord's ability. Our Xuanhua County will recruit tens of thousands of mountain people and reclaim thousands of hectares of wasteland this year."

"If it weren't for the kindness of the king, Xuanhua, although it is on the edge of Nanning, has been in war for a long time, and it would not be in the same situation as this year!"

"Okay! Magistrate Yang, with your talents, a county magistrate is still too small. I will promote you to the prefect next year and control the territory of the prefecture." Sun Kewang promised.

Sun Guozhu didn't do any private visits or anything like that. Now he doesn't have free time to travel around like that prodigal son.

He travels with great swagger and fanfare.

Of course, it's just a general matter. People of his level have to travel secretly to investigate the public sentiment in order to prevent deception from superiors and subordinates.

But for Sun Guozhu, he is not a little mascot who lives deep in the palace and is longer than a woman's hands.

In the county town of Xuanhua, Sun Guozhu took his men for a walk around twice and made some mental calculations.

You will naturally be familiar with how much arable land is cultivated in Xuanhua County, how well the crops grow per acre, and how much can be produced per acre.

Something like a fat pig competing with an elephant, as long as Sun Guozhu is in good spirits and doesn't have convulsions like before, he won't be able to get out of it at all.

As for the Xuanhua County Magistrate, according to Jin Yiwei's report, this person personally went to the fields and led the people to open up wasteland. He was also high-spirited and upright, with a breeze on his sleeves. Sun Kewang now personally witnessed the peaceful scene of Xuanhua.

Such pragmatic officials naturally need to be vigorously promoted.

Next year, when Hunan is conquered, Hengyang, Changde, Baoqing and other places, wherever suitable, I will just go up a few levels and let him take responsibility and become a prefect.

"Master, you are saying that you will promote me to prefect next year!" Yang Xuancheng opened his mouth in disbelief.

"That's natural. I am the lord of the country. You have no words to say, so you should keep your word." Sun Guozhu said carelessly.

As early as in Guiyang, Lord Sun used all the dragon flags and dragon robes that should be used.

Even the Dianqian Army calls itself Jiaqian Army.

Therefore, Lord Sun and the jackals, tigers and leopards under him have nothing to fear.

In addition to the title of emperor, Lord Sun and his ministers did whatever they were supposed to do in Guangxi.

"My lord, I have only served as magistrate for less than a year. Isn't it too soon to be promoted to magistrate next year?" Yang Xuancheng said with some horror.

"That's nothing." Sun Kewang said nonchalantly: "Ma Zhaoxi, Wan Niance and others did not have official status before, they were just down-and-out literati. When they established the Sixth Administrative Department alone, they were directly awarded the position of Minister."

"Don't talk about you as the county magistrate. If Yan Dianshi of Jiangyin is still there, Gu Fei will invite him to come to Guangxi to be the magistrate. If the magistrate cannot be invited, I will be willing to give him the posts of Taoist priest and governor."

"As long as you have talent, it doesn't matter what your background is or how big your position is. As long as you can do well, I, Sun Kewang, don't care about being awarded an official position!"

Yang Xuancheng was very excited when he heard this. He used to be a small director in the Sixth Department of Administration. Because he did well, he was sent to Xuanhua as the seventh-grade county magistrate.

Who would have thought that because of his good work in Xuanhua, Lord Sun would directly promote him to prefect!
How could Yang Xuancheng not be excited by such a terrifying promotion speed?
"The kindness of the king can only be repaid by death!" Yang Xuancheng's face turned red and he knelt three times and kowtowed to the king of Sun.

"Hurry up, Magistrate Yang. As long as you are worthy of your country's master and your people, you deserve any official position." Sun Kewang said.

"Please rest assured, Lord, I will definitely share the worries of the Lord and solve the problems of the people!" Yang Xuancheng said.

Sun Kewang smiled and said: "Okay, Magistrate Yang, show me your achievements in one year in Xuanhua."

"Your Majesty, please!" Yang Xuancheng hurriedly extended his hand and greeted him respectfully.

"My lord, over the past year, I have personally searched around and even entered the mountains a hundred miles away. I have recruited many mountain people to come and farm for Xuanhua..."

Yang Xuancheng introduced him all the way and listed his achievements one by one.

In the assessment of the Sixth Department of Administration, gathering common people and reclaiming wasteland were top-notch achievements.

Therefore, under the temptation of political achievements, officials from all over Guangxi worked hard to appease the mountain people.

Some officials even plunged into the Shiwan Mountains in the south in order to be promoted.

It is just to recruit more people so that he can add more color to his political achievements.

Of course, many people walked into the mountains and never came out.

As a result, Sun Guozhu had to temporarily let many Guangxi scholars take office.

The sacrifices of Guangxi officials have naturally achieved great results. Guangxi, which has suffered many wars, is gradually regaining its vitality with the help of more and more mountain people.

As Lord Sun made his inspection tour, the news of the Lord's visit spread quickly.

In Xuanhua, more and more farmers are pouring out of the farmland on both sides of the road.

They all knelt and kowtowed to Lord Sun three times and nine times, and even many mountain people screamed, showing their excitement from the bottom of their hearts. "These mountain people, I just gave them the qualifications to be human, and they are already like this." Sun Kewang looked at everything in front of him with emotion.

No matter what era it is, farmers are the most miserable.

But no matter how miserable the farmers are, at least they are still citizens according to their household registration!
And these mountain people, they are not even citizens.

It can be said that in today's society, not only are they not citizens, but they are not even counted as human beings!
Mountain people are untouchables, and for untouchables, the word "untouchable" is true, and the word "min" is false!
In this era, common people who had their own farmland were considered homesteaders.

If the land is annexed, then it can only be used as tenants by the landlords and gentry.

Of course, based on the conscience of the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, the common people sometimes really couldn't bear the land rent of [-]% to [-]% or even [-]% to [-]%.

What should I do if I can't stand it? Apart from rebellion, the only option is to go up the mountains to open up wasteland and go to the sea to fish.

As the saying goes, harsh government is fiercer than a tiger.

The common people would rather go to the mountains, face tigers and leopards, go to the sea, and fight whale sharks, than return to the rule of the landlords and the court, pay the damn land rent, and serve the horrible corvee.

Of course, the gentry would naturally sneer at the common people who are unwilling to struggle and face reality. After all, my Ming Dynasty does not raise idlers!
Therefore, these unscrupulous people who were bankrupt and unwilling to fight for the landlords were all classified as unworthy.

These people are called shed people in Jiangxi, Xu people in Fujian, fallen people in Zhejiang, and laos in Guangdong and Guangdong.

In the north, because the folk customs are more rugged, they are like Shandong thieves and Liang Shanbo heroes.

Under the leadership of Yan Shenggong, they were all brought out.

These untouchables were at the bottom of society in the late Ming Dynasty.

They were not allowed to live in the plains or on the land.

They were not allowed to own land, study, take imperial examinations, or marry good people.

You can only keep company with tigers and wolves in the deep mountains.

You can only dance with the waves on the sea.

They are untouchables, and so are their children and grandchildren!
If the people at the bottom are the bastards of this society, then these mountain people are the stinking mud beneath the bastards!
It can even be said that in this era that is very close to civilization.

The mountain people in the interior were forced by the government and the gentry to live the primitive life of the past when humans lived in the caves, and became the cavemen who lived in the caves and lived in the open air.

The people along the coast are almost returning to their ancestors. Human beings came from the ocean, and they are going to the ocean.

However, it is this group of people who, in this dark age, have retained the last spark of hope for China.

In this era of Shenzhou Luchen, these untouchables have almost reopened the world for the entire China!

In Yunnan, it was precisely because Xiying tried his best to recruit mountain people that Yunnan was able to achieve great governance.

Only then can we have enough manpower to reclaim 20 to [-] hectares of farmland and form the crucial [-]-strong army!

It can be said that China collapsed because of the gentry and nobles, but it was once again held up by the lowest level mountain people and subordinates.

It is precisely because countless Han, Yi, Dai and Miao people came down from the mountains.

Participated in the vigorous anti-Qing cause.

Only in the Western Camp can we form hundreds of thousands of untouchable troops, mainly these mountain people, to help the world.

But now, the achievements of the Yungui mountain people's struggle are about to be wiped out due to internal strife in Xiying.

But the mountain people of Guangdong and Guangxi, under the organization of Sun Kewang, are about to carry out their second salvation!
"Magistrate Yang, what are they talking about?" Sun Kewang listened to the motley voices of the mountain people and couldn't understand a word.

Yang Xuancheng immediately waved his hand after hearing this.

Upon seeing this, a mountain man who was proficient in Mandarin and had already served as a head catcher said immediately:

"My Lord, the people are thanking you. Thank you for not letting the officers and soldiers enter the mountain to kill them, and for allowing them to come down to live."

"I see." Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Tell them, no matter who they were before, they are now my subjects, Sun Kewang!"

"As long as they farm with peace of mind and pay their taxes honestly, they don't need to be afraid of anyone! Even if my front-line army harasses them, I, the king of the country, will enforce the law and kill them without mercy!"

There was a sudden uproar after arresting the leader, and he translated the meaning of Sun Guozhu.

As soon as he translated, Sun Guozhu's head became big.

In the mountains, even if the Han people get into it, the language will change over time.

Not to mention that the mountain people are still a mixture of various ethnic groups, and some of them have even been living in the mountains for several generations.

Just such a group of people, even their language is garish, and to say the least nice things, they are just a bunch of rabble!
If it hadn't been for his grandson, he would have had six administrative departments and tens of thousands of elites.

In Yunnan ten years ago, hundreds of thousands of troops were successfully organized and assembled by all ethnic groups.

Have enough successful experience.

Just sorting out these mountain people took more than a year and a half!

When the mountain people heard Sun Kewang's words, they kowtowed one after another, and many of them had tears in their eyes.

Although Lord Sun could not understand their words, he also knew that they were thanking him, the Lord, for allowing them to escape their lowly status and obtain the land under the sun.

Let them and their children and grandchildren be able to live upright lives and be common people!
At this moment, several old men stepped forward, extremely excited, and kept saying something.

"Master, these old men all have sons who have joined the army."

"They said that the king not only gave their family extra land and reduced taxes, but also gave them a lot of money and food every month, but they had nothing to repay."

"We can only ask their sons to kill more Tatars on the battlefield."

"They also said that if their son dared to run home from the battlefield, there would be no need for the government to take action."

"They just strangled their own sons to death, and then decided on their own to repay the kindness of the king."

The catcher translated the words of these old men word for word to Sun Guozhu.

After listening to the translation, not only Sun Guozhu, but also Zhang Hu, Wan Niance and others were deeply moved.

"These are the real people!" Sun Guozhu was deeply moved after hearing this, and his eyes were slightly red.

I harvest [-]% of the civilian farmland and [-]% of the military settlement, but this is because I have left a mouthful of food for the common people.

They are so content!So grateful!
Where else can we find such good people and such good people besides in this land?
