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

Chapter 31 Huang Taiji’s fellow sufferers
Guangdong and Guangxi have outstanding people, Guangdong's economy is prosperous, and Guangxi's folk customs are fierce. Just like Shaanxi's elite soldiers and Jiangnan's money and grain, they subsidize each other. Not only that, Guangdong has Xinhui Nuxiang, Guangxi has Wuxuan fried lamb liver, such fine wines and such delicious food highlight the spirit of each era. absurd.

"My lord, Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng have led [-] brothers southward. The rebel armies in the coastal areas of Guangdong are active. I believe that the four Qiong Lei Prefectures will be able to work together!" Zhang Hu said respectfully.

Sun Kewang smiled and said: "That's natural. Fortunately, the army is weak. He went against the law in Guangdong. The massacre of Guangzhou shocked the world. The heads of 70 innocent people fell to the ground. If he did this, his main force would be unstable once he went on an expedition. Entrenched in Jinsha, he didn't dare to come out of his tortoise shell when facing Li Dingguo in the past, but now facing me, the lord, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to leave his old lair and go on an expedition."

"Master of the country," Wan Niance said, "What should we do if Shang Kexi and they send troops?"

"If Shang Kexi sent troops, I would be very happy. There are nearly [-] elite soldiers, of which nearly half are cavalry, and there are strong generals such as Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng. You civil servants, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao only have [-] old men, and the cavalry is not as good as them. They are solitary fragments, they are huddled in the Guangzhou area, and it is really difficult to fight alone. What Li Dingguo's [-] to [-] headquarters could not do in the past, our [-] to [-] former troops could not do, but if they dare to come to Guangxi and fight I will fight decisively, and the soldiers of my front army will teach him to be a man!"

"Twenty thousand capital!" Zhang Hu, Wan Niance and others were shocked.

"Master, do the two old thieves Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao only have these troops?"

"That's true." Sun Kewang said slowly: "Kong Youde's men had a strength of 3, and Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao each had a strength of [-]. After Kong Youde's fall, the total number of elite Qing troops in Guangdong and Guangxi was less than [-]."

"Your Majesty! In this case, my elite troops should go straight to Guangzhou and capture the entire Guangdong and Guangxi!" Zhang Hu said with great joy without doubt.

Sun Kewang waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. Shang Kexi treats the Guangzhou area like an iron bucket. Let's not talk about Guangzhou. Even the peripheral counties such as Zhaoqing and Xinhui are hard nuts to crack. In addition, Guangdong's firearms are well developed. Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao The army is also good at using firearms. Although my front army has a large number of cavalry and its combat power is no less than that of Li Dingguo's main force, the cavalry accumulated in Yunnan and Guizhou for ten years alone is not for attacking the city. Let's accept it now. Once Guangxi and other places have settled down, after next year's autumn harvest, Gu will rely on Guangxi's money and food, follow the old example of Yunnan, and expand the new army by [-] with [-] to [-] old brothers as the backbone."

"By then, with this large army, whether it is marching north to Huguang to liaise with Kuidong Shun's army to fight for the world, or marching east to Guangdong to liaise with Zheng Chenggong and separatist forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, we will have capital in our hands!"

"Your Majesty, I wish you all the best." Wan Niance said with admiration: "Although my former army has been victorious in consecutive battles, it is short of food and grass. The Majesty's more than 1 cavalry are crossing the Guangdong and Guangxi as if they are in an uninhabited land. Although it is refreshing, but for the sake of With these tens of thousands of horses and mules, our food consumption is huge. Blindly attacking Guangzhou and forcing our troops under the fortified city will only put the army in danger. If we are not careful, we will repeat the mistakes of Li Dingguo in Xinhui! "

Sun Kewang nodded slightly. Wan Niance and others have worked hard in running Yunnan and Guizhou. With these teams, he, the leader of the country, does not need to do much work. In the past, Sun Kewang had to build his own team when he was in Yunnan, but now he, the leader of the country, has a ready-made team. As long as the team does not make mistakes, Guangxi will become the second Yunnan. All it takes is time. Of course, the most important thing now is time!
"Niance, Zhaoxi, how is the land inventory in Guangxi going?"

Ma Zhaoxi held up his hands and said: "Master, the workload of checking the land is huge, and it is still being sorted out. However, I can guarantee that there will be results by the end of this year, and we will never miss the important event of spring plowing."

Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Then what do you think of the situation in Guangxi?"

"Returning to the Lord, Guangxi has repeatedly suffered military disasters, and the people have been displaced. However, judging from the situation along the way, the population still has a certain scale. It will never cause a situation like Sichuan where no one can farm."

Sun Kewang frowned and was quite satisfied with the answers of Ma Zhaoxi and others. Ma Zhaoxi, Wan Niance and others were originally down-and-out literati, but they were appreciated by the king and soared to the sky. They served as the most important household ministers and military ministers in Guiyang's six administrative departments.Specially manage the money and grain of Yunnan and Guizhou and the support and training of the army.

It has to be said that they have a vicious vision. In the 16th year of Shunzhi, in 1659 AD, Guangxi still had more than 5 hectares of cultivated land, which exceeded Yunnan. Of course, Yunnan at that time had been massacred by Qing soldiers. Originally, it was only as low as The price of grain, which was seven taels of silver per shi, first rose because Li Dingguo restored the old system. Then, at the beginning of 1659 AD, it was reduced to 26 taels of silver per shi by the Qing soldiers. Finally, by the end of the year, it reached a desperate figure of over a hundred taels of silver per shi. When our Qing soldiers arrived, they were indeed extremely powerful. In less than a year, we raised the price of food worth hundreds of taels. God is really ashamed of this natural disaster!
Now Guangxi has more than 5 hectares of arable land. Excluding Guilin, Pingle, and Wuzhou, Sun Kewang has more than 4 hectares of cultivated land in his hands. Depending on the production conditions, the amount of arable land will increase significantly within a year.

Before the great changes in the late Ming Dynasty, Guangxi had more than 4000 hectares of arable land. Although it was far less than other provinces, it was more than three times that of Yunnan and Guizhou.

When Sun Kewang ruled Yunnan, Yunnan had only 7000 hectares of arable land before the Shadingzhou Rebellion. Later, when Sun Kewang came to power, the arable land could reach the level of [-] to [-] hectares. In addition to the normal reclamation of wasteland, the biggest reason is that Sun Guozhu The United Front Chieftain in Yunnan took out a lot of land from the chieftain.

The Ming Dynasty alone controlled more than 4000 hectares of arable land in Guangxi, and the arable land in Guangxi far exceeded this number. In fact, if Sun Kewang had three or four years, he could use Guangxi as his base to recruit gangsters, restore production, and reclaim wasteland. It will not be a problem to build water conservancy projects and use Guangxi's economic base to absorb considerable blood to make up for the lack of manpower. It will create more than [-] hectares of arable land and return to the heyday of the past with more than [-] troops.

After all, when his fellow sufferer Huang Taiji took over Liaodong, millions of Han people were massacred and social production completely collapsed. When he came to the throne, he had a dou of rice and eight taels, yes, a dou of rice and eight taels!One stone of grain costs 80 taels of silver!During the Ming Dynasty's civil uprising in Shaanxi, a bucket of rice only cost eight coins!
In such a situation, Huang Taiji has broken the game. Now Sun Kewang's situation in Guangxi is much better, and breaking the game is not a problem at all.
