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

In Jiujiang City, big boxes were opened one after another.

A number of Green Camp soldiers lined up under the supervision of the Qianqian Army.

"Soldier Zhang Hong, one tael and five cents of silver for January and four taels and five cents for March!" shouted an official who accompanied the army.

Four taels and five cents of silver were placed in front of Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong picked up the silver and weighed it, his face full of shock.

"Sir, how come this silver is enough!" Zhang Hong said in shock.

"Nonsense, how can you do it if you are not paid enough to be a soldier!" the official scolded.

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Hong nodded and bowed, his face full of ecstasy.

This made the green campers behind him excited.

"Your stipends from Lvying will be paid out after a while. The adults in Jiujiang have no time to get rice for you right now. Let's use money to cushion it first." The official continued to speak.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Zhang Hong said quickly.

There are only one, two or five soldiers in this green camp for a month, although they look the same as those of the Qianqian Army.

But let’s not put aside the six stones of enmi that the Qianjun earns every year, just the full payment is enough to make the Green Camp go crazy.

The Eight Banners only received 60% of the money in a month. Zhang Hong, a green camp soldier, received only 5 yuan a month, which was considered good.

The four taels and five cents that I got directly now was equivalent to nine months' salary.

At this level, what kind of bike do you need?

"Zhang Hong, whose salary are you paying?" the official asked according to the rules after the payment was made.

"Take the pay of the king!" Zhang Hong said seriously.

"Whose clothes are you wearing?" the official asked again.

"Wear the clothes of the king!" Zhang Hong replied again.

"Who will you work for in the future?" the official asked finally.

"Serve the king!" Zhang Hong said firmly.

"Okay, next one." The official waved his hand, and Zhang Hong quickly walked down with his silver reward.

Soon, the Green Camp soldiers in Jiujiang City fell into a sea of ​​joy amid the shouts of "Kingdom Lord".

At the same time, Zhang Chaolin and others knelt in front of Feng Shuangli with bitter expressions on their faces.

"My lord, I am willing to surrender." Zhang Chaolin sighed and begged.

"Want to surrender?" Feng Shuangli smiled coldly.

"Yes, the leader of the country is a man of great talent and strategy. He is a man destined by fate. I am willing to surrender the whole province of Jiangxi." Zhang Chaolin said quickly.

"Huh! Why did you go there earlier?" Feng Shuangli smiled disdainfully.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chaolin opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Zhang Chaolin, you have been in Jiangxi for many years and have been dedicated to the Tatars. I don't know how many Han people have been killed."

Feng Shuangli said slowly: "Now that Jiujiang City has been destroyed, you have fallen into the hands of this king. I just want to expose these things with a casual surrender."

"I think you are just talking nonsense!"

A group of Xiying veterans nodded after hearing this. Xiying was not merciless when it came to killing people.

In the past, when Zhang Xianzhong was roaming the Central Plains, no matter whether they were corrupt officials or landlords and gentry, they would be killed with heads rolling in!

Now in the era of Sun Kewang, the king originally liked to skin people, and since the defeat of Jiaoshui, he has become even more disgusted with traitors and fake officials.

It would be fine if Zhang Chaolin could take the initiative to vote like Yuan Kuoyu did to show his determination to do anything.

After all, Sun Guozhu didn't want to make all the Manchu governors resist.

But now he is in ruins and captured.

In this case, there is nothing more to say. Reporting this matter to Sun Guozhu and Zhang Chaolin will be a dead end.

Feng Shuangli just followed the usual practice and just stopped.

It saves this traitor a few more days of life.

"Your Majesty, I am the governor of Jiangxi. If I can survive, I can be the king of the country, and I can recruit the whole province of Jiangxi to surrender for the prince!" Zhang Chaolin said quickly.

Facing this group of murderous bandits in Xiying, he naturally did not dare to make excuses.

Although being so mean and disrespectful was detrimental to Zhang Chaolin's dignity, he didn't have to worry about so much just to survive.

"In Jiangxi Province, Zhang Chaolin, you have such a strong tone!" Zhang Hu smiled coldly.

"Mr. Chang Guo, as long as you are willing to keep me useful, I will be able to successfully recruit the entire Jiangxi province!" Zhang Chaolin begged.

"No need." Feng Shuangli said disdainfully: "Zhang Chaolin, you take yourself too seriously."

"I have the whole province of Jiangxi at my fingertips. There are not many people there, and there are not many of them without you."

"I don't believe that without you, Zhang Chaolin, I wouldn't be able to conquer Jiangxi with my heavenly troops!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chaolin's face turned pale. These Xiying bandits had made up their minds to kill him.

Dong Weiguo wiped away a cold sweat when he saw this. Fortunately, he was early and struck quickly!

Otherwise, he would be the one kneeling down begging for life right now!

This group of Western thieves is indeed extremely cruel. After all, Zhang Chaolin is also a dignified governor of Jiangxi and a high-ranking official in the province!

If it were placed in front of other forces, I'm afraid they would still be treated politely and persuaded to surrender.

But when it fell into the hands of Feng Shuangli, he was even reluctant to give him his life and had to kill him!

Dong Weiguo shuddered at the thought of this and was filled with fear.

He was also a bannerman, and he had hesitated whether to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

Fortunately, he finished his ideological work in time and opened the door in time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Your Majesty, if I die today, I'm afraid no other governor will surrender in the future!" Zhang Chaolin said tremblingly.

If the governor of a province cannot survive even if he asks for surrender, how serious this would be for other Manchu governors.

"No, no, no." Feng Shuangli said slowly: "If I let you go today, I'm afraid other traitors will be grateful for the kindness of the Tatars and they will fight in the city."

"But if you, Zhang Chaolin, die, when facing the fortified city in the future, other traitors will not resist forcefully if they don't want to die."

The governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was relatively loyal to the Qing Dynasty, so he would hesitate to surrender.

But to ask them to be buried with the Manchus seems to be a bit high.

For people like Lang Tingzuo and Zhang Chaolin, it is okay to ask them to do their best for the Manchus, but it is a bit difficult to be loyal.

Therefore, Sun Kewang, who knew the nature of these governors, only gave people like Zhang Chaolin two paths.

Surrender or be buried, there is no other way.

If you are afraid of death, surrender to Jiaqian. If you are not afraid, then be buried with the Manchus!

If these governors are not forced to choose one of the two, they may try again and again.

Take Zhang Chaolin as an example. He was captured after the city was broken.

If this kind of person is not killed, maybe other governors will resist for a while and then surrender in gratitude to our Qing Dynasty.

In this case, it would be better to kill Zhang Chaolin to scare those idiots. Anyway, Sun Guozhu didn't have a good impression of these die-hard traitors. Moreover, with his current strength, even the full resistance of the Manchu governor would be of no avail.

Therefore, to deal with these hard-core traitors who are full of crimes, throw as many punches as you can.

After they have unified the world, they will launch a major purge.

So that when the time comes, the task of eradicating evil will be exhausted, and the descendants of these people will be able to overturn their convictions.

"Your Majesty is right. For such a die-hard traitor, since he resisted to the end, then send them to the underworld to meet those dead Tatars!" Zhang Hu smiled sinisterly and directly expressed his attitude.

"Yes, I have this intention!" Feng Shuangli shouted.

"Come here, drag Zhang Chaolin and his cronies down, execute them in a hurry, crush their bones and spread their ashes!"

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" All the cronies were ashen-faced, scared to death, and quickly begged for mercy.

"Feng Shuangli, you will definitely suffer consequences in the future!" Zhang Chaolin cursed angrily and burst into tears.

He hates, he regrets, and he is unwilling!

He hates Sun Kewang, he hates Feng Shuangli, but he hates Dong Weiguo the most!

How could Zhang Chaolin be like this if he hadn't met the god-killer Sun Guozhu?

That would be fine, if Dong Weiguo, a shameless man, had not rebelled against the Qing Dynasty.

How could he, Zhang Chaolin, not be qualified to surrender and have no hope of survival?

In addition, Zhang Chaolin also regretted it.

If only I had thought about clearing my joints earlier and done my own ideological work.

How could he be a latecomer and be controlled by others, becoming the future of Dong Weiguo?

In the end, he gave up. He was a dignified governor of Jiangxi and a provincial official, but he did not insist on being buried with the Manchus.

How could it end up like this?

"God's will, God's will, this is God's will!" Zhang Chaolin suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with sadness.

Several guards picked him up and dragged the governor out of the lobby.

That afternoon, in the sunset, Zhang Chaolin was executed by Ling Chi.

The next day, Feng Shuangli and Zhang Hu discussed the matter.

It was decided that he would personally lead the main force to continue westward, join forces with Zheng Guo's rear army in Wuchang, and make every effort to open up the vital Yangtze River waterway.

Connect the ruling areas of Lord Sun into one.

Zhang Hu, on the other hand, led his army south to Poyang Lake, supplemented by surrendered Green Camp troops, and captured Nanchang, and then took over all of Jiangxi.

Then it connected Hunan to the west and Guangdong to the south, expanding the strategic control of the Great Western Army.

At the same time, Feng Shuangli also ordered General Li Shun to lead a group of elite troops from Jiujiang to the north to integrate the major villages in the Yinghuo Mountain area and straighten out the two sides of the Yangtze River waterway.

Beginning in October, the troops in the five towns were divided into three groups and began to use Jiujiang as a base to advance westward, northward, and southward, rapidly expanding the occupied area.

Feng Shuangli brought four towns of soldiers and horses to Anqing, while Zhang Hu originally had two towns of soldiers and horses in Anqing.

However, Anqing is of great importance, and it also connects southern Anhui and northern Anhui.

Therefore, the Western Expedition Army only had troops from five towns.

However, even the soldiers and horses of the five towns, the Qing troops on both sides of the Yangtze River and Jiangxi Province were unable to resist them.

Feng Shuangli led the troops of two and a half towns and advanced from Jiujiang waterway. Ruichang, Fuchi Town, Guangji County and other places fell into his hands.

On October 17, Feng Shuangli arrived at Huangzhou Prefecture. The prefect of Huangzhou was unwilling to be buried with the Manchus and surrendered the whole city.

Five days later, Feng Shuangli arrived in Wuchang and joined forces with Zheng Guo, Wang Aixiu, Tan Hong, Tan Yi and others who were besieging the city to fully open the Yangtze River waterway.

The only fly in the ointment is that Dasu in Wuchang is still holding on.

There is still this nail in the Yangtze River waterway, but fortunately, Dasu's Wuchang Navy has been destroyed by Sun Guozhu's kamikaze agents.

Therefore, even with the stronghold of Wuchang, Dasu without a navy could not prevent the Daxi Army from using the Yangtze River waterway to transport troops, grain and supplies.

The Yangtze River waterway is the main artery of the entire south.

In the past, the Southern Song Dynasty was because Xiangyang fell and Jianghan fell into the hands of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, which resulted in the Yangtze River waterway being cut off.

The blockage between Bashu and Jiangnan caused a major strategic disadvantage and eventually led to their destruction.

Under the organization of Yang Xiuqing, the Taiping Rebellion captured Nanjing.

And the Yangtze River waterway was used to frequently transport troops and food along the waterways from Shanghai in the east to Wuchang in the west.

Only in this way can we win successive victories with superior troops many times.

It was by relying on the Yangtze River waterway that the Heavenly Kingdom Corps, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng, were able to merge into one many times and gain strategic advantage.

With the Hunan Navy together, the Yangtze River waterway cannot be used by the Taiping Army.

The tragedy of the Taiping Rebellion was already doomed.

Important towns such as Wuchang, Jiujiang, and Anqing were all lost due to impassable waterways, leaving them without troops or support.

Once the right to control water was lost, the Yangtze River, instead of being able to help, became a natural chasm for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Li Xiucheng's 200,000-strong army was attacked by the Hunan Navy when crossing the Yangtze River north. It was unable to take care of both the head and tail, and was severely damaged.

Now this most important artery in the south has been opened by the Qianqian Army.

Using this golden waterway, Lord Sun could finally control the hundreds of thousands of troops scattered throughout the country like an arm.

Of course, in order to clear out the nail in Wuchang, Feng Shuangli had to command the Wuchang siege and completely clear out the last remaining stronghold of the Qing army on the Yangtze River waterway, the last nail.

While marching westward and achieving good results, General Li Shun led his Biao Battalion and a group of 6,000 troops northward to the Yinghuo Mountains.

Li Shun was Guan Youcai's crony. Historically, he followed Guan Youcai to side with Sun Guozhu, and was eventually captured by Li Dingguo.

Together with Wang Xianming, Li Ding, Zhang Wenming and other close associates of Guan Youcai, they were taken prisoner in Kunming. Guan Youcai Lingchi was beheaded.

Now, although Sun Guozhu tried his best to rescue these loyal soldiers from death in western Yunnan.

However, after the Battle of Baoqing, Guan Youcai, Wang Xianming, Li Ding, and Zhang Wenming all died in battle.

In order to rescue Sun Kewang, the Sao Kou Town did not hesitate to disperse the phalanx, but almost the entire army was destroyed by the massacre by the Qing cavalry.

After the war, as the only senior general remaining in the bandit town, Li Shun was naturally promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief.

However, because the damage to the bandit town was too great, it had to be rebuilt.

The commander-in-chief of Xiandeng Town was seriously injured in the fierce battle, and the two lieutenants were also seriously injured and needed to recuperate.

Therefore, Li Shun was transferred to Feng Shuangli's former army and served as the commander-in-chief of Xiandeng Town.

Now that he has been promoted not long ago, it is also on the eve of Lord Sun's ascension to the throne, so he is naturally full of energy.

After heading north from Jiujiang in October, he led 6,000 elite troops and quickly arrived in the Yinghuo Mountains.

Yinghuo Mountain has always been a sacred place for revolution and has always retained its revolutionary tradition.

Not only are the people here strong and strong, but there are also a large number of rebels hiding here to resist the Qing Dynasty.

But just like later generations, after being massacred four times by the Returned Home Corps for supporting the revolution, the people in the Yinghuo Mountain area completely gave up.

When the ranks of the fifth revolution arrived, they all drew clear lines.

At this time, the Yinghuo Mountain District had been resisting the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. Many people had completely given up under the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army. (End of chapter)
