Chapter 24 Route battle
Sun Kewang slammed the floor loudly and powerfully, and for a moment Liu Wenxiu didn't know how to answer.

"Brother." Liu Wenxiu said slowly after a long time: "Brother, the Ming Dynasty has been orthodox for 300 years and supports the Yongli Emperor. Only by using the banner of the Ming Dynasty can we win more people. Brother's usurping the throne will only make the people of the world dissatisfied. Now I ask you to take care of the overall situation, for the soldiers of Xiying, for the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, and for the common people in the world."

Sun Kewang said slowly: "Third brother, you and I have been brothers for many years, so you don't need to say these high-sounding words. The reason why the current situation is like this is that you and my three brothers are not convinced. In the past, I played the banner of uniting Ming Dynasty against Qing Dynasty , from Yongli to Anlong, and then marched three ways to achieve Hongwu career. At that time, I regarded you and Li Dingguo as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. With the money and food I accumulated in Yunnan and Guizhou, if my three brothers can With concerted efforts, the expulsion of the Tartars will be just around the corner."

"It's a pity that I fell short in the end. I know that many people in the world accuse me of running out of tricks and being defeated. But you are Gu's brother. Ask yourself if you were in Gu's position and handed over the command of a hundred thousand troops to him. Li Dingguo worked hard to raise money and food in the rear, and the result was that the territory belonged to Li Dingguo, the prestige belonged to Li Dingguo, and even the gold and silver of Kong Youde and his men belonged to Li Dingguo. My Sun Kewang tried every means to raise military supplies in Guiyang, allowing Li Dingguo to move to the Third War. Qianli has never had any worries, and all he got in the end was a few bundles of ginseng that he sent. What would you think?"

"I know that Li Dingguo blamed me for transferring Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong to plot against him in Hengyang regardless of the overall situation. Third brother, you also blamed me for removing your military power after Baoning. But what can I, the eldest brother, do at that time? Wait until he defeats the Eight Banners in Hengyang Main force to gain greater prestige, call on more people, and then backfire on me, the leader of the country? I admit that I have selfish motives. I not only plotted against Li Dingguo to lose his prestige by defeating him, but also took advantage of Baoning's defeat to remove your military power. Make sure that there is one less threat to my position as the leader of the country."

"Now that I think about it, I, Sun Kewang, was indeed wrong. At that time, I was too selfish. I not only ruined the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Eight Banners, but also implicated my brothers and made you depressed. But in the end, who can be without selfish motives? Li Dingguo Originally, you respected me as your eldest brother in Yunnan and Guizhou, but when you arrived in Guangxi and gained military exploits, you behaved erratically and failed to do so. Now, the three of us brothers have already met each other at war, and only by defending one side can we avoid further conflicts."

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly said: "Brother! There is indeed a gap between you and the second brother. It is not true that the elder brother has the elder brother, and the second brother also has the second brother. But the situation in the southwest is unstable now, and it is time for us three brothers to work together to save Yunnan and Guizhou. !"

Sun Kewang waved his hand and said, "Third brother, the relationship between you and Li Dingguo has long been different. Even if we seem to be in harmony, we will only be divorced. I don't know whether you and Li Dingguo are really loyal to Yongli or something else. You are in Yunnan. Abolish the Yingzhuang, return the political power, and want to restore the Central Plains with the Yongli court as the core. My Sun Kewang is different from you. Sheng and Zhang Hu went to Guangxi and crossed my single-plank bridge. It is better for brothers to separate than to fight against each other."

"Brother!" Liu Wenxiu persuaded, "I know you have worked hard and worked hard in Yunnan and Guizhou, but destiny is not in your hands. Now only the three of us brothers work together and use Yunnan and Guizhou as the foundation to compete with the Manchus!"

"Different courts?" Sun Kewang sneered and said, "Third brother, in my opinion, the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou has been over since the moment you merged with the remnant officials and gentry. Prisoner, has the Central Plains been restored?"

"I don't want to argue anymore. Yungui was originally my Sun Kewang's foundation. Now Yungui has gained it, lost it, and is alone. But now there are still tens of thousands of former soldiers, Wang Shangli, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu and others are loyal to me, the lord of the country. Although my 10,000+ soldiers and horses collapsed in the First Battle of Jiaoshui, there are still tens of thousands of loyal soldiers. Enter Guangxi and break out a new world."

Seeing Sun Kewang's firm will, Liu Wenxiu said earnestly, "Brother, I know you are a great talent, and you are not willing to be subordinated to others, but all the soldiers in the First Battle of Jiaoshui are against each other, which shows that the hearts of the people are against each other! If the elder brother transfers to Guangxi with the cavalry army, you will be defeated." The door to the southwest is wide open, and the anti-Qing cause is ruined!"

"I know that my eldest brother was victimized by corrupt officials since he was a child, and he hated the officials and gentry of Ming Dynasty. However, Ming Dynasty has been orthodox for 300 years. Has my eldest brother forgotten what his adoptive father said before he died? Only by supporting the Ming Dynasty can we help the world , to avenge my adoptive father."

Sun Kewang is a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng is from the same town. When he was young, his mother disappeared. He searched for it but found nothing. At night, he found that his neighbor had eaten rice noodles, so when he was young, Sun Guozhu concluded that the neighbor sold it. Because of the loss of his mother, he was able to exchange for rice noodles, so he mustered up the courage to sue the neighbors to the local county magistrate.

But the magistrate of Mizhi County beat him up indiscriminately, and even threatened to skin Sun Kewang, a troublemaker, if he dared to do anything more.

After the Great Western Army transferred to Yunnan, Sun Kewang severely punished corruption and sent many envoys to wander around Yunnan all day long in ordinary clothes. Whenever corrupt officials were found, they would be severely punished. Come out in Qingming.

Sun Kewang sighed and said: "Third brother, I decided to do this just because I have not forgotten my adoptive father's words. When I, Sun Kewang, are in power, you think I am narrow-minded, but if Li Dingguo is in power, he will definitely be better than me, Sun Kewang." ? In my opinion, not only can he not tolerate me as the king of the country, but he can also not tolerate you as the king of Shu. If I stay in Yungui, it will only be the case that the general trend is true. "

"The sky in Yunnan and Guizhou is not sunny for three days, the land is not three miles flat, and the people are not three cents of silver. Only the camp system can support our 30-strong Western Army in this remote southwest. Now Li Dingguo has restored the old system and is trying to restore the Han Dynasty by relying on those landlords, officials and gentry. Family and country, my soldiers in Daxi don’t understand these things, nor do ordinary generals, but I hope you, the king of Shu, can understand. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of millions of miles of country and could not deal with the Manchu Tatars, but now it only has the most barren The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, if you think carefully about Li Dingguo's restoration of the old system, is there any way out for our Xiying?!"
