Chapter 162
"Governor Zhang, Hong Chengchou has been in Huguang for many years, and his spies are all over Huguang. There is some latest information about him and Wu Sangui that needs to be reported to the court."

"It's very inconvenient to travel from Jiangxi to Jiangxi. Please ask the governor to report this to the court on my behalf."

"King Yi, what information do you have?" Zhang Changgeng was shocked.

"There are clues about Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou hiding Prince Zhu!" Sun Kewang smiled slightly.

This is the last deception. We need to give the Qing Dynasty some hard information. If we can really find out the shit basin where Prince Zhu is hiding, it can be revealed to Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui.

Wang Shiyuan originally wanted to kill his entire family and cut off his descendants, so he was considered worthy of dying for the Han people.

Don't say that Lord Sun is cruel. In this era, there is nothing you can do if you are not cruel.

The clans of the Ming Dynasty have enjoyed it for so many years, and it’s time to make up for the whole world.

Under the nest, how can there be a complete egg?
Rather than being executed by Ling Chi in vain, Lord Sun might as well use Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong to drive a wedge between the Qing court and Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

Zhang Changgeng's eyes widened when he heard this.

"King Yi, are you serious about this? Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou really hid the third prince Zhu?"

"Yes, King Ding Zhu Cijiong is still among the people, and Wu Sangui has appointed his trusted aides to take care of him secretly!" Sun Kewang said solemnly.

Zhang Changgeng took a breath when he heard this, his face full of horror.

"Governor Zhang, don't be afraid. The Qing Dynasty still has my grandson Ke Wang. Even if Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou conspire to rebel, I will still be willing to lead a hundred thousand tiger warriors to clean up the traitors for our Qing Dynasty!"

Sun Kewang waved his hand with a serious face, and an attendant quickly brought a memorial.

"Please Governor Zhang report this memorial to the imperial court, so that the imperial court will know Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou's disobedience as soon as possible! In order to prevent the Qing Dynasty from being unstable!"

It took Zhang Changgeng a long time to calm down, and he accepted the memorial from Lord Sun with a complicated expression.

"Please rest assured, King Yi, I will report it to the court."

"I feel relieved when the governor is here." Sun Kewang smiled and said: "Please return to Hunan as soon as possible and explain the interests to the court. The national plans will be greatly delayed."

"What King Yi said is that the official will return to Hunan immediately." Zhang Changgeng said quickly.

"Alas! The governor is tired from traveling and is not in a hurry. He will rest in Nanning tonight and it won't be too late to set off again tomorrow." Sun Kewang said with a smile.

"King Yi, no need. The situation is urgent. I can't wait to go to Beijing in person. Now I can't wait any longer!" Zhang Changgeng replied.

Since Sun Guochang made a small report on Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, the Qing government immediately issued secret edicts to several important officials in Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, asking them to keep an eye on Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, including Zhang Changgeng.

Now that Lord Sun has agreed to be cared for and has provided information about Prince Zhu, how can Zhang Changgeng rest now?
"In that case, Zhang Hu, please arrange the manpower to bring Governor Zhang's 1 taels of silver, and prepare a few more good horses to send Governor Zhang back to Hunan." Sun Guozhu waved his hand.

"Master, this..." Zhang Changgeng is a scholar, so he naturally hesitates.

"Why should Governor Zhang be embarrassed?" Sun Kewang said meaningfully:
"If I pass by Changsha one day, I have to count on Governor Zhang to entertain me well."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgeng immediately said: "Please rest assured, King Yi, when the prince comes to Changsha, I will definitely lead the civil and military suburbs of Changsha to welcome him thirty miles away to wash away the dust for the prince!"

"Okay! With your words, I will feel relieved." Sun Kewang laughed.

"Zhang Hu, what are you still doing? The 1 taels of silver are ready. Governor Zhang can't miss a single penny!"

In this way, Zhang Changgeng was taken away by Zhang Hu to receive his 1 taels of silver.

Sun Guozhu was also in a good mood and was only waiting to go to Changsha to see Zhang Changgeng in a few months.

"Master, what is the meaning of your promise to support the Tatars?" Ma Zhaoxi asked.

"What's the point? It's the last minute. In only three months, I, Guangxi, can handle the autumn harvest and plan the Northern Expedition with an army of 10,000+."

"In these three months, we must stabilize the Tatars no matter what, and we cannot let their attention focus on me, Sun Kewang! Otherwise, if our new army encounters the main force of the Eight Banners in the first battle, the situation will be very unfavorable to me. Wonderful." Lord Sun sneered.

Although Lord Sun now has fourteen strong soldiers, the 10,000+ army is still composed of many new soldiers with no combat experience and no blood.

If they encountered the main force of the Eight Banners in the first battle, Sun Guozhu would still feel uneasy.

Therefore, the Qing court's attention, whether it is on Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, or Prince Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, or Zhu.

Just can't focus on Lord Sun.

Otherwise, if Sun Guozhu's army is not tempered by the fire of war, it will face the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and everything may be lost.

Ma Zhaoxi nodded when he heard this. As the Minister of the Sixth Department of Administration, he naturally knew the difference between soldiers who had fought in a war and those who had not.

The leader of the country has made up his mind to pick the weak ones first, and then attack Guoan and Chen De.

"Liang Cheng!" After Sun Kewang finished answering Ma Zhaoxi's question, he turned his attention to Liang Cheng, the second in command of Jin Yiwei and a fellow commander.

"Master!" Liang Cheng responded immediately.

"How was Zhang Changgeng's journey to Nanning? Is there any detailed information on spying on our army?"

"Returning to the country, Lord, Zhang Changgeng came in a hurry and did nothing unusual." Liang Cheng replied.

"That's good." Sun Kewang also felt relieved.

The phenomenon of bumper harvests in various parts of Guangxi cannot be concealed.

However, big data from all over Guangxi is regarded as top secret and is in the hands of Sun Kewang and the Sixth Department of Administration.

Even if Zhang Changgeng saw the harvest scenes in various places, he would never have imagined that Sun Guozhu, together with the Sixth Department of Administration, would reclaim tens of thousands of hectares of wasteland in Guangxi in just one year.

Unexpectedly, Lord Sun already had one hundred thousand soldiers at this time.

All in all, people are always misled by inertia and thinking.

Not to mention in this era of underdeveloped information.

Even in another era of advanced information, who would have thought that the second best player in the world would be like that?

Maybe Mr. Yang knew that Mao Zi had poop, but they didn’t know that Mao Zi would poop like that!
By the same token, even if the Qing Dynasty knew about the good harvest in Guangxi and knew that the Lord Sun had become stronger.

But they could not have imagined that Lord Sun would be able to recruit 10,000+ elite soldiers in Guangxi in just one year!

This kind of thing beyond mental cognition may happen in reality, but in reality no one would believe it!
France, the number one player in the world, was defeated by its own men in a blink of an eye.

This kind of thing cannot be accepted unless it has already happened.

This is also where Sun Guozhu's confidence lies.

Even now, some people tell us in the Qing Dynasty that Lord Sun has 10,000+ troops, and they are all elite soldiers in armor.We in the Qing Dynasty probably not only don't believe it, but also think that that person is fooling himself into thinking he is a fool.

"Liang Cheng, keep a close eye on Zhang Changgeng and don't allow him to explore various states and counties."

"In short, let's just kill me. There are [-] soldiers in Guangxi! Whatever they think!" Sun Kewang said calmly.

"Yes!" Liang Cheng said with cupped hands.

Zhang Changgeng still needs to be stopped.

Fortunately, Lord Sun had enough reasons. He said every day that he had [-] soldiers.

People from the Qing court are not allowed to conduct careful exploration in Guangxi. As for what the Qing Dynasty will think, it is naturally self-evident.

"In addition, the fact that Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou hid the third prince Zhu was also widely publicized to me in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Huguang, and even Jiangxi and Fujian. How much money the Jinyi Guards need, I can directly ask the master of the country for it!" Sun Kewang said with a big hand! wave.

"Please rest assured, Lord, after a year of construction, Jinyiwei now has thousands of spies, and it will definitely make this matter known to the world!" Liang Cheng said.

"That's good." Sun Kewang nodded slightly.

"In addition to dealing with the Tatars, you and Zhang Hu also have to do a good job in Yunnan. After a while, you will take Zhang Hu to Huguang. You go to Yunnan in person and make sure Xiying is as safe as possible. My old brothers all know that I, the leader of the country, am still waiting for them in Guangxi!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I, the Jin Yiwei, have been in contact with the families of Di Sanpin and others. The Majesty's wishes will definitely be conveyed to the ears of the generals," Liang Cheng said.

"That's good." Sun Kewang let out a sigh of relief.

The Xiying generals are now on Li Dingguo's ship, and they need an opportunity to jump off on a large scale.

As long as the opportunity comes, he will be like himself after the battle of Jiaoshui.

The generals in Xiying will leave Li Dingguo one after another.

All in all, he still needs to wait for the last three months. When the third month comes, it will be time for Sun Kewang to embark on the road to salvation.

"It's the last three months, I hope everything goes well." Sun Kewang glanced at the sky and murmured to himself.

In September, the autumn harvest is in full swing in Guangxi and other places.

The training of new recruits and the creation of weapons continue to proceed intensively.

After forming the Fourteenth Army, Sun Guozhu began to recruit the second phase of [-] new soldiers.

In the southeast, Zheng Chenggong encountered a hurricane at Yangshan on August [-]th, resulting in serious losses of troops, horses, equipment and ships.

They had to go south in September, capture coastal towns such as Taizhou, Yueqing, and Haimenwei, and land to rest and reorganize their troops.

And because some of the northern soldiers in Zheng's army who were recruited by Zheng Chenggong were frightened by the hurricane and were unwilling to fight at sea anymore, they fled one after another. As a result, the Qing court found out about Zheng's army's encounter with the typhoon.

In Yunnan, after Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan separated their troops in Qujing, Bai Wenxuan led his troops northward, passed through Qixing Pass and entered the Shuixi border, trying to threaten Guiyang.

The main force of the Ming army, under the leadership of Li Dingguo, only arrived at Annan Guard on the west side of Beipanjiang in September.

There is still a long way to go from Guiyang.

At the same time, Doni in Changde, almost at the same time, led his troops through western Hunan and set foot on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The morale of the Qing army in Guizhou was greatly boosted.

In Sichuan, Liu Tichun and others were still in the Fuzhou area of ​​Chongqing, holding back Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses to prevent them from going south.

It's just that Kuidong's troops were approaching their limit and could no longer hold back Wu Sangui.

At the end of September, the nervous Qing court received great good news.

"Mother, the pirates have retreated! The pirates have retreated!" Shunzhi was in high spirits, waving the memorial from the southeast, ecstatic.

"Blessed by our ancestors, I, the Qing Dynasty, finally survived!" Xiaozhuang let out a sigh of relief and almost shed tears.

Zheng Chenggong’s densely packed fleet of more than 3000 ships almost made our pants wet.

I once thought that God would bless the Qing Dynasty, and a hurricane from Yangshan instantly blew away the haze that was weighing on our Qing Dynasty.

"Mom, even God is helping me with the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty cannot dominate the world, it will be unforgivable!" Shunzhi said with a blush on his face.

"Good boy, don't be too happy. We still don't understand the war in the southwest." Xiaozhuang said.

"Mom, it's autumn now, and Duni has already entered Guizhou. With my Eight Banners heavenly soldiers here and God's blessing, I only need to wait for my Eight Banners heavenly soldiers to rest for a month or two, and Yunnan will be at your fingertips!" Shunzhi said with confidence.

Xiaozhuang was dumbfounded when he saw this. Shunzhi was depressed and depressed for a while, but now he is confident and arrogant. I have to say that he really can't calm down.

"Good boy, don't be too happy. The pirates in the southeast are nothing to worry about. The Western thieves and false Ming Dynasty in the southwest are our Qing Dynasty's most serious trouble. The battle in the southwest is a battle for the fate of the country. We, the Qing Dynasty, must not be careless! "

"What Eniang said is that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. I plan to dispatch two troops from Xian Guoan and Chen De to Guizhou to help in the battle." Shunzhi said with a smile.

"What!" Xiaozhuang was startled.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Mother, why?" Shunzhi asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Guilin and Yongzhou are the southern gates of Huguang. If the soldiers and horses here withdraw, Sun Kewang will take his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses north to Huguang. Our main force of the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and Guizhou will be in danger!"

"But, E Niang." Shunzhi frowned and said, "When the pirates invaded, we, the Qing Dynasty, knew nothing about it. We only found out about it after Sun Kewang Shangshu."

"Now it seems that what he said in his memorial about the pirates' invasion of Jiangnan is absolutely true. Although the pirates were defeated by the divine wind, it is a good example of Sun Kewang's loyalty to our Qing Dynasty!"

Shunzhi is right. From the Qing Dynasty's point of view, the kamikaze incident is God's will. How could it be expected by mere mortals?
Therefore, not only Shunzhi, but also the entire Qing Dynasty had no other thoughts about Lord Sun's intelligence.

"Your Majesty, having said that, didn't Li Dingguo not launch the strategy of gathering troops and valleys that he mentioned?" Xiaozhuang said solemnly.

"Mother, Sun Kewang has already said that he agreed with Li Dingguo to send troops in the autumn harvest, so Li Dingguo delayed his poisonous plan in Yunnan for some time."

"Coupled with God's help, at the end of summer this year, there was heavy rain in Yunnan and Guizhou and the roads were muddy. The soldiers and horses of the Western thieves were stranded in Yunnan and could not launch their poisonous plan for a long time." Shunzhi defended Sun Kewang.

"This..." Xiaozhuang was speechless after hearing this.

Hong Chengchou said that he used the trick of pretending to surrender and Jia Ziming's tricks to hold back Li Dingguo.

Sun Kewang said that Li Dingguo was held back because he used a delaying strategy and made a blood oath to send troops in the autumn to attack the Qing army together.

It is really hard for us in the Qing Dynasty to grasp who is real and who is fake among these two.
