Chapter 30
Sun Kewang already had a strategic plan to break the situation in his mind, and the plan in his mind was constantly perfected during this journey of thinking. In addition to using the cavalry in his hands to bully and bully Shang Kexin, he also planned to have both sides in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The boss, Nanming's second child, his third child, the third child is the most comfortable.

Although he, the third youngest, is also fighting to the death with the eldest brother, he cannot show it for the time being. If it shows, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not fight for him, and Nanming will not accommodate him. In short, in the crucial year in the future The most important thing here is to balance the situation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Of course, the most important thing now is to quickly pacify Guangxi and win a place to stay.

On the ninth day of October, Sun Kewang summoned Wang Shangli, Feng Shuangli, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu, Ma Zhaoxi, Wan Niance, Ren Xun and other civil and military officials to discuss the Guangxi pacification plan for the last time.

The next day, Zhang Sheng and Wang Dewang led [-] elite troops to Liuzhou, and Wang Shangli led [-] soldiers from Nandan and Nadi to the south to appease Zhen'an, Tianzhou, Si'en, Taiping and other prefectures.

Zhang Sheng led his troops to attack Liuzhou. In the Qing Dynasty, there were only 2000 defenders in Liuzhou. When the soldiers of the green battalion holding spears and wearing single clothes with the words "soldier" and "courage" on them saw Zhang Sheng's soldiers and horses, showing off their flags, The momentum was overwhelming, everyone was wearing armor, and everyone almost peed out of fear when they had horses.

The Liuzhou guard led a small number of armored soldiers to the city gate, and when he saw Zhang Sheng's flag, his face turned green.

"The barbarians are coming!" The [-] Green Battalion defenders were terrified, and before Zhang Sheng and others finished making weapons to attack the city, the [-] Qing troops abandoned the city and left.

At the end of June 1652, Li Dingguo commanded a large army to attack Guangxi. Dingguo ordered: "The Qing soldiers slaughtered Guangxi and Guangdong, and now it is time for revenge. Anyone who meets the Qing soldiers will kill without mercy!"

This ordered tens of thousands of Western troops to flood into Guangxi and kill Qing soldiers when they saw them!For a time, the governor of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the chief envoy and a large number of big officials in the frontiers were appointed heads. Countless Qing soldiers died under the sword of the Western Army. Kong Youde's men fell apart, and Xian Guoan, Ma Xiong, Quan Jie and others fled to Guangdong. The entire province of Guangxi was calmed down in January.

Under the butcher's knife of the Western Army, the Qing army in Guangxi was left with a psychological shadow. They feared the West like a tiger and called the soldiers of the Western Camp "barbarians!"
Now Li Dingguo is not here, but Zhang Sheng is here. As the vanguard of Dingguo's army in the past, Zhang Sheng was the most vicious in killing Qing soldiers.

Liuzhou has been secured, Sun Kewang led his troops into the city, and then ordered Zheng Guo and Wang Aixiu to lead five thousand troops up the river and advance to the Dahe Mountain and Tongmu Town areas to watch Xian Guoan and Quanjie who lived in Guilin.

At the same time, General Feng Shuangli was activated to take Nanning, Zhang Sheng and Wang Dewang took Xunzhou, and Sun Kewang collected boats in Liuzhou, preparing to advance by water and arrive in Nanning as soon as possible.

Feng Shuangli, Zhang Sheng and others led [-] elite elites and falsely claimed that [-] troops went southward. The soldiers headed straight to Ning and Xunzhou. , to advance east and west with Zheng Chenggong, join forces with Wuyang, and destroy Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao.

For a time, the two major earthquakes, Guangxi Admiral Guoan and others only had more than 8000 soldiers capable of fighting. They were unable to deal with He Jiuyi and Ma Bao's more than [-] soldiers in history. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao from Guangzhou.

However, it is still gratifying that there are only 3 veterans and only [-] elite soldiers after being supplemented. Like him, Geng Jimao also has only [-] elite soldiers. Even if you add the remnants of Kong Youde such as Xian Guoan, the elites in the Guangdong, Guangxi and Qing armies are less than [-] million people.

Although Shang Kexi and others still have tens of thousands of green battalions in their hands, there are so many volunteers in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions that it is difficult to allocate these green battalions to separate places. What's more, although there are tens of thousands of these green battalion soldiers, most of them are hip-hop soldiers. Some of them are even Nanming soldiers and generals. Among these soldiers and horses, there are no more than a few thousand armored men. They usually guard the place and bully the common people. It’s no problem. When encountering rebels who don’t have enough to eat, don’t wear warm clothes, and don’t even have a few armors. It can also be suppressed, but when encountering strong rebels such as Wang Xing, Deng Yao, and Chen Qice, they still need the assistance of elite soldiers under the command of Pingnan and Jingnan to hold the place.

In the past, when Li Dingguo's army went eastward, most of the green battalion soldiers either fled or surrendered. It was too risky for Shang Kexi to disregard the situation in Guangdong and send the main force to Guangxi to fight Sun Kewang. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao met in Guangzhou , and finally decided to leave the main force to guard the fundamental land of Guangzhou and wait for changes.

This was a very correct decision. Shang Kexi had too few troops, and the Guangdong rebels were numerous. Moreover, Zheng Chenggong was watching covetously. At the end of 1655, Zheng Chenggong's Huang Ting, Su Mao and others led an attack on Chaozhou with 1656 to [-] soldiers. At that time, Li Dingguo's troops were still in Guangxi. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were afraid that Zheng Chenggong's troops would march eastward to Chaohui and Li Dingguo's army would enter Guangdong again. They would be attacked from both sides without a chance to die, so they quickly sent more than [-] of their troops to fight Zheng's army first. It was not until April [-] that Zheng Jun was defeated.

It has only been more than a year since the Great War, but Sun Kewang went south to capture Guangxi in a big way. The propaganda of joining forces with Wuyang hit Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's sore spots. Shang Kexi, who was leading tens of thousands of cavalry rampaging in Guangxi, immediately ordered the guarding soldiers and horses in various parts of Guangdong. Ma Chi aided Guangdong.

As the main force of the Qing army avoided fighting, Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng returned to their old days in Guangxi. They were invincible along the way, as if they were in an uninhabited land. By the end of October, Nanning, Xunzhou and other prefectures and counties had been pacified, and a large number of green camp soldiers or Escape, or disperse, or whatever.

On the last day of October, Sun Kewang led Laoying to Nanning by land and water, and joined forces with Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng. At the same time, Wang Shangli, who recruited a large number of prefectures and counties, led his troops to Nanning in early November. At this point, the three Western armies successfully joined forces. , Guangxi was initially pacified in just one month.

Among the eleven prefectures and nine Zhili prefectures in Guangxi, except for the three prefectures of Guilin, Pingle, and Wuzhou occupied by Kong Youde's remnants such as Xian Guoan, Quanjie, and Ma Xiong, the rest were all captured by Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang, who had obtained most of Guangxi, took advantage of the strong morale of the army before driving, and asked Feng Shuangli to take command. Zhang Sheng's cavalry went first. At the same time, he contacted the navy rebels along the coast of Guangdong to promise territory, and prepared to attack Gaolian Qionglei's four mansions to open the door. After exiting the sea, we stopped the war and started the grass-grazing mode with a small group of troops.

At this time, Sun Guozhu had more than 2 horses, and the cavalry combined was almost as good as the infantry. Zhang Sheng's [-] cavalry, Sun Guozhu's [-] die-hards, plus the rest of the cavalry troops totaled close to the [-] mark. , with such soldiers, Sun Kewang would like Shang Kexi to come out of the tortoise shell of Guangzhou and fight with him.
