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

"The king of the country, Feng Shuangli sent news that he has led his army to capture Changde, arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River, and opened a communication channel with the Kuidong Shun Army." Upstairs in Yueyang, Zhang Hu hurried over.

"Okay!" Sun Kewang waved his hand and said, "Let Feng Shuangli contact Li Laiheng and others quickly, let them station in Changde, and tell them that the land of Huguang will be divided equally between our two families, the land of Changde in Hunan will belong to them, and the land of Wuchang in Hubei will belong to us."

"Master, if this happens, will we suffer a big loss? The Shun army has not yet made any effort, but they can actually get the land of Changde?" Zhang Hu frowned.

"What? Can't bear to leave?" Sun Kewang said with a smile.

"My lord, it is indeed the case." Zhang Hu replied.

"Zhang Hu, do you know how many Shaanxi-Gansu veterans there are in Kuidong?" Sun Kewang said slowly.

"About twenty or thirty thousand, right?"

"Twenty or thirty thousand? Hehe." Sun Kewang stretched out his right hand and stretched out his five fingers.

"Fifty thousand!" Zhang Hu said in surprise: "There are actually fifty thousand old soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu in the Shun Army! Our Xiying camp only had a few thousand people at the beginning!"

"In the past, King Chuang brought more than [-] elite soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu to Huguang. Li Guo and Gao Yigong also brought [-] from the northwest."

Sun Kewang sighed and said: "It's a pity that these Shaanxi-Gansu veterans have always been severely short of food and pay and have poor equipment. Otherwise, why would they be cowering in Kuidong to death!"

Shunjun was able to arm-wrestle with the Manchus back then.

In the Battle of Tongguan, Li Zicheng's main force came out together. Although he failed to defeat half of Duduo's main force, he performed well. The two sides at least had a [-]-[-] draw.

After abandoning Shaanxi and Gansu, Li Zicheng still had 10,000+ elite troops under his command, and he was defeated all the way.

But until his death, the main force of Shun Army still had more than 21 soldiers.

Of course, these troops of more than 20 can actually defeat only about [-], and the rest are just gimmicks.

Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Shun Army was divided, and Hao Yaoqi and others were attracted by He Tengjiao.

Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others went north to Jingzhou to join Li Guo and Gao Yigong's Western Route Army.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong originally had [-] troops, but they lost some troops and horses in northern Shaanxi.

They also reunited with Dang Shousu, Ta Tianbao, Ma Chongxi and others who were stationed in the northwest.

At that time, the main force of the Shun army gathered in Jingzhou, with more than [-] elite soldiers.

The result was a battle in Jingzhou.

The Shun army deployed a company camp of more than a hundred miles, but they were unable to capture Jingzhou.

The main reason was that after retreating thousands of miles, the Shun army lost all the red-coated cannons and lacked siege firepower.

And because there were no logistical supplies, the 10,000+ troops had to spread out and search for food and grass everywhere for military needs, which greatly dispersed the superior strength.

Then He Tengjiao collapsed without a fight and sold Li Guo and Gao Yigong.

Luck Dehun led the Qing army with thousands of Eight Banners soldiers as the core, and defeated the main force of the Shun army in one battle, killing countless people.

Liu Fangliang and others died in the battle, while Tian Jianxiu and others led [-] troops to surrender and were killed.

After the Battle of Jingzhou, the Shun army collapsed.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong led [-] soldiers and horses to lick their wounds in East Kui. Yuan Zongdi and others dispersed to western Hunan. Liu Tichun led his troops north and fought back to Guanzhong.

He joined forces with He Zhen, Sun Shoufa, Wu Dading and others to fight and once reached the gates of Xi'an.

Immediately afterwards, Jin, Li, Li Guo and Gao Yigong led [-] troops out of Kuidong and almost recaptured Changsha.

Jierhalang led tens of thousands of troops to go south to Hunan and defeated the Ming armies that lacked organization.

The troops of Li Guo and Gao Yigong were not seriously damaged, so they moved to Guangxi and stationed troops in Nanning and Hengzhou for a long time.

However, due to the unsuitable climate and climate, there is also a lack of food, grass and medicine.

When a plague came down, four of the nine generals in the Zhongzhen camp died of the disease, and Li Guo also died in Guangxi.

Almost half of the [-] soldiers and horses died of illness.

Later, Liu Guochang led troops to reinforce Guangzhou, but was intercepted and killed by Ma Bao and others, and fled into the mountains of northern Guangdong.

At this time, Gao Yigong only had the last [-] Shaanxi-Gansu veterans left.

Later, the Zhongzhen Battalion began to move northward, with 1 old soldiers as the core, plus more than [-] expanded Guangxi soldiers, heading north to Kuidong.

Gao Yigong died in battle on the way, and Li Laiheng became the core of this army.

After arriving in Kuidong, Li Laiheng still had more than 2 people in his hands.

And Hao Yaoqi, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Ta Tianbao, Dang Shousu, Ma Chongxi and other old Shunjun brothers have been going around for so many years, and finally got together in Kuidong to keep warm.

Because Hao Yaoqi and Liu Tichun's troops were relatively powerful, each had more than 1 armored soldiers.

Therefore, the number of elite soldiers in the Shun Army at this time was still very terrifying, with 5 to [-] soldiers, among whom there were estimated to be about [-] Shaanxi-Gansu veterans.

Even when the Qing government was encircling Kuidong, Li Laiheng and his three troops could muster nearly 5 troops to defeat the [-] green troops in Huguang.

In the final battle at Maolu Mountain, Li Laiheng still had more than [-] troops.

Compared with the Western Camp, where only a few thousand Shaanxi-Gansu veterans remained after the Battle of Fenghuang Mountain.

The number of Shaanxi-Gansu veterans in the Shun Army was ten times that of the Xiying Army.

There are so many elite loyal troops, and as long as there are enough food, wages and equipment, the army that can fight with the main force of the Qing Dynasty in the field will return to the world!
"A lonely world, not a mere Changde!"

Sun Kewang said seriously: "Not only in Changde, but also in Hubei, Gu has allocated [-] grains and [-] pieces of armor to meet the urgent needs of the Shun army!"

"The king is so helpful, I'm afraid Li Laiheng and others won't understand the king's painstaking efforts!" Zhang Hu persuaded.

"I don't need them to understand my painstaking efforts. I just need them to fight the Tartars." Sun Kewang sneered.

The growth of Shun's army may be detrimental to him.

But at this critical moment, helping Shunjun is equivalent to helping Sun Kewang himself.

As long as Shunjun can join forces with Sun Kewang to fight in Hunan.

If Dhoni's counterattack is defeated, Sun Kewang's chances of winning will be greatly improved.

And that’s the real deal!
"Quickly pass the order. Let Feng Shuangli deliver food, weapons and equipment to Kuidong first. Gu Yao, Li Laiheng and others will meet in Changde. If the two families can work together, the situation in Hunan will be decided!" Sun Kewang waved his hand and said without doubt. .

Sun Ke is expected to have [-] soldiers in Huguang, if he can win over the loyal troops.

10,000+ Qing troops need to stay in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Under Li Dingguo's control, at most [-] elite troops could counterattack Huguang.

15 to [-], Sun Kewang would be able to wait for work, if Wang Shangli and others were lured to Hunan again.

Doni and the others just cried.

"Follow your orders." Seeing this, Zhang Hu had no choice but to step back and deliver the order.

"Is there any news from Yunnan?" Sun Kewang asked.

"This is for the lord of the country." Liu Tianxiu replied, "There is no news about the admiral in Yunnan yet."

"However, the situation in Guangdong is very favorable. Our elite garrison troops in Guangdong, together with the rebels and the green camp soldiers, have successfully repelled Shang Ke with a strength of 10,000+." "If the king can send a general and bring two If we suppress the army within a few months, Guangzhou will surely be captured by the king."

Sun Kewang nodded slightly when he heard this.

Shang Kexi defeated Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo defeated him. But in front of him, the leader of the country, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were the ones to be dealt with in minutes.

Li Dingguo didn't know about the sudden attack on Guangdong and Guangxi, but he, Sun Kewang, was the best at this.

With the heroes of the Fourteenth Town mobilized and the rebels and the green camp united, what else could Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao do with their [-] troops?
If Sun Guozhu hadn't focused on dealing with the Eight Banners, Guangzhou would have been besieged by now!

"There is no rush in Guangzhou. As long as we can defeat the more than 3 Manchu and Mongolian soldiers led by Doni, it will be worth it even if we sacrifice the whole city of Guangzhou, even the whole province of Guangdong!"

Sun Kewang said solemnly: "Quickly convey Gu's will and let Wan Niance and Ma Zhaoxi prepare well in Guangxi."

"Once Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi lead their troops back to Guangxi, they must rest and recuperate immediately. They must have enough food and wine and meat!"

"Before March, Wang Shangli must come to Hunan with no less than 6 troops to help in the war!"

"Yes!" Liu Tianxiu said with cupped hands.

"Everyone, if I don't talk about anything else, Xian Guoan and Chen De are just two little minions!"

"And Dhoni's army is the real goal of Huguang's solitary army!"

"As long as he can defeat the [-] Manchu and Mongolian soldiers under his command, the Han people in the world will take action!"

"So in this decisive battle in Hunan, Gu asks you to fight hard for Gu, for yourself, and for all the Han people in the world!"

"I retreated in the battle at the fork in the road, but I will never retreat in this battle!"

"I am willing to die for the king!" Liu Tianxiu, Wang Dewang, Yang Silong, Yuan Taoan, Sun Jiayao and other generals swore poisonous oaths with solemn faces.

"Okay! You all go down and rest. From now on, the soldiers and horses of the Ten Towns will be fully rested!"

"I don't want Wuchang, nor Xiangxi! I just want the soldiers and horses in the ten towns to rest and stay in peace for the decisive battle!" Sun Kewang waved his hand and said boldly.

"Please rest assured, Lord, one hundred thousand warriors will definitely wipe out the Tartars for the Lord!" Downstairs in Yueyang, a large number of soldiers and generals said with high morale.

In this way, the [-] Front Army entered a stage of comprehensive rest and reorganization starting from the end of the first month.

Sun Ke hoped that he did not want Guangzhou, southern Yunnan, Wuchang, or western Hunan.

His 10,000+ army and [-] elite soldiers were fully rested in Changde, Baoqing, Changsha, Yuezhou, and Hengyang.

Just wait for Dhoni to lead his troops into Hunan and give him a full blow.

The military arrangements have been prepared, but Sun Guozhu has to finalize the policy for the governance of Hunan.

"To inform the Lord, Huguang Province had about 220 million hectares of cultivated land in the sixth year of Wanli, but now there are less than 40 hectares of registered cultivated land left."

"In the south of Huguang, there are still 21 hectares of cultivated land, but if you exclude the cultivated land in Changde and Songzi, there are only 14 hectares left." Sun Kewang's newly appointed governor of Huguang, Wu Fengsheng, reported with the seized account books.

"The great rivers and mountains have been destroyed by the war." Sun Kewang couldn't help but sigh.

Sichuan originally had hundreds of thousands of hectares of arable land, but after years of war, only more than 1 hectares of land remained.

Huguang was originally the province that produced the most grain and arable land in the world. With more than 200 million hectares of terrifying arable land, even Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi after the Great Recession could not match it.

It's a pity that now, only a little over 39 hectares are left.

It can be seen how Huguang, as the main battlefield between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was devastated.

"The Lord has a kind heart." Wu Fengsheng said with emotion: "However, Hunan and Guangxi are well versed in the world. Even if it is repeatedly exposed to war, there are still 10,000+ hectares of arable land in Hunan alone. If it is managed properly, it will still be far better than Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi! "

"That's right. If I could win at the fork in the road, I wouldn't have had to stalemate with the Qing Dynasty for many years."

Sun Kewang sighed with emotion: "According to our old methods of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, we recruit mountain people and set up camps. We must make Huguang the second logistics base for our front army. This year's spring plowing is around the corner. You have a heavy burden on Feng Sheng." , whether I can advance into the south of the Yangtze River depends on the autumn harvest of Hunan under your rule!"

Sun Kewang's ambitions are very great. In fact, if he implements them according to the style of play he most wants to adopt.

The current 10,000+ army is not squatting in Hunan, but directly collecting ships and sailing down the river, directly going to capture Jiangnan, the lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty.

Although this approach is risky, the chance of success is extremely high.

The [-] banners and [-] armored men in the Jiangnan area could barely handle Zheng Chenggong.

Can you deal with Sun Kewang who has [-] armors?

Xiying's land battle was already strong, and Sun Kewang led more cavalry than the total number of Qing soldiers.

With this advantage, how could Sun Kewang lose?
He is the main loser as a country, and he is also the main force who lost to our Qing Dynasty.

The four thousand and eight banners in Jiangnan are not enough for Sun Kewang to fill his teeth!

The outcome of the field war is doomed, even if the Qing Dynasty defends Nanjing.

At the worst possible outcome, the earthen camp composed of miners from Guangdong and Guangxi could conduct underground siege. Sun Guozhu remembered the place where the Taiping Army blasted.

They also sent troops from Guangxi, so why couldn't Sun Kewang blow up Nanjing?

Is it because the soldiers and horses under his command are not as strong as the Taiping Army, or is it that the explosives in his hands are not as strong as the Taiping Army?

In short, if we attack Nanjing in one go, Sun Kewang will definitely be able to defeat it.

It's a pity that the Jiaqian Army is different from the Taiping Army.

The Taiping Army is a true bandit style of fighting in Hunan, but the Jiaqian Army now has territory in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Lord Sun was willing to make a desperate move and attack thousands of miles away.

But the generals and soldiers under my command are unwilling!

If we really want to attack Nanjing, let alone the uncertain future.

If the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi was taken away by the Qing army, and their families would be in trouble, the soldiers in the front army would not dare to even think about it!

Just as Li Mi was alone, when Yang Xuangan's dog-headed military advisor suggested rushing to Guanzhong.

And he himself became the leader of the Wagang Army, but he was just like Luoyang.

Li Mi is willing to rush to Guanzhong, but the Wagang army is unwilling to give up its base and follow Li Mi!

Sun Kewang asked his soldiers to give up covering Guangdong and Guangxi and go directly to attack Nanjing. This... was a bit difficult.

Although he, the leader of the country, has a high prestige now, he cannot compare himself with the wives, children and children of the former army officers!

Especially for soldiers from Guangxi, it is simply unacceptable for them to abandon Hunan and go directly to fight Nanjing.

Therefore, it is not feasible to attack Nanjing before eliminating the threat to Guangdong and Guangxi from the main force of the Qing army.

Just like Wu Fan was unwilling to give up Yunnan and Guizhou and risked going east and north, but chose to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Hunan.

Sun Kewang also has to fight with our Qing Dynasty in Hunan.

But he is not one of Wu Fan's fools. Sun Guozhu, who has Guangdong and Guangxi in his hands, has plenty of logistical resources.

It is even more advantageous in terms of military strength.

The future is still very bright. (End of chapter)
