Chapter 35 Borrowing Qing troops again

Sun Kewang's future plan has been decided. Under the leadership of the king, various ministries in Nanning began to plan. Wan Niance and others quickly handed over all matters to Sun Kewang, the king of Daxi, and only the last letter was left. Return to Yungui's letter.

In this regard, Sun Kewang naturally used his strengths. Neither the Qing court nor Hong Chengchou are easy to fool, but they are all people of this era. Limited by this era, there is no experience for future generations to learn from. Sun Kewang The letter hit their heart directly.

"Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, etc. are rebellious, and tea poisons the living. It is hoped that the teacher will ask the crime, but it will be tempted. I beg the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to send [-] iron horses. I am willing to dedicate Yunnan, Guizhou, and Shu to unify them. Enmity!"

"I am sincere and willing to bow to the Qing Dynasty, offer the land of Yunnan, Guizhou and Shu, and pay tribute every year..."

Wan Niance and the others looked at Sun Kewang's eloquent thousands of words, and praised him again and again.

"My lord, this letter of yours is so sincere that no one can see that it is a letter for a false surrender!"

"Li Dingguo has an eternal hatred with my former army. The lord told the Tartars that they will definitely fall into the lord's trap!"

Sincerely, this is natural. This was originally written by another king, but Sun Guozhu said that he borrowed the Qing soldiers to take revenge, but Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are considered strong, and borrowed the Qing soldiers to become the Pingxi of our Qing Dynasty. King, Sun Guozhu had hundreds of remnant soldiers and defeated generals at that time. Who borrowed the Qing soldiers when the Qing soldiers came?

Sun Kewang sneered and said: "Nian Ce, Zhaoxi, we have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing. We first sent people to Guilin to inform the National Security Bureau. This traitor led thousands of remnant soldiers to be defeated. They were frightened by Li Dingguo for three whole years. They are Kong Youde's remnants." He had originally fled into Guangdong, but was forced by Shang Kexi to defend Guilin and Wuzhou to block the bullet holes for the Qing army in Guangdong."

"Now that I am leading the army into Guangxi, Xian Guoan, the admiral of Guangxi, has been in fear all day long in Guilin. He has tried his best to strengthen the city's defenses. It is difficult for him. Let him be informed first, so that he is ready to meet the lonely mission. .”

Wan Niance and others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. After the victory of Guilin, Kong Youde's main force was destroyed. Dingnan Fan's admiral Xian Guoan, the left wing commander Ma Xiong, and the right wing commander Quan Jie led their troops to flee Guangdong. Under Li Dingguo's reputation, Kong Youde's The [-]-strong headquarters and the gathered Green Camp soldiers and horses dispersed in a hurry. When the whole army fled to Guangdong, the soldiers and horses under their command dispersed on their own, leaving less than a hundred people. Xian Guoan and Ma Xiong also had only a few thousand defeated soldiers left.

Later, Li Dingguo led his troops into Hunan to meet the main forces of the Eight Banners. Shang Kexi let Xian Guoan and these defeated generals counterattack Guangxi and occupied Guilin and Wuzhou. During Li Dingguo's several years in Guangxi, these remnants of Kong Youde walked on thin ice every day, fearful, not only did not dare to send troops deep into Guangxi, but prayed all day long that Li Dingguo, a tiger, would not notice him.

That is to say, King Jin’s attention was all on Guangdong. If Li Dingguo’s main force attacked Guilin and Wuzhou, Kong Youde’s remnants would have been wiped out long ago. You must know that when Li Dingguo attacked Guangdong, there were reinforcements from the Eight Banners to rescue Shang Kexi. Fortunately, he dared to bring the main force to Guangxi for a decisive battle with Li Dingguo.

Now that Li Dingguo has finally left, another Sun Kewang has come. That's it. This Sun Kewang's momentum is even greater than that of Li Dingguo. In the past, Li Dingguo's attack on Xinhui was gratifying, but there were more than a thousand "old-time thieves" and everyone was riding a horse. , equipped with Zha armor. There are more than [-] long-haired thieves in Yunnan, who use handguns, bird weapons, and Miao knives, and are covered with cotton armor and cowhide armor. There are more than [-] short-haired thieves in Guangdong, without armor, and most of them carry bamboo guns and agricultural tools.

Li Dingguo's strength almost overturned Guangdong and Guangxi. He fought not only against Guoan, but both Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao kept avoiding battles. One can imagine the shadows in the hearts of Guoan and others. It is conceivable that when Sun Guozhu's envoy arrived in Guilin, how relieved Xian Guoan and others would be, who were terrified every day, and wept with joy.

Of course, Li Dingguo's strength is more than that. If he only had more than a thousand cavalry and more than 2 elite soldiers, he would not be qualified to fight against the main force of the Eight Banners. It is probably because his main cavalry was standing by at the rear during the siege, leaving only a thousand elite soldiers. Cavalry is just to prevent the Qing army from going out of the city to sneak attack, but there is no doubt that King Jin has only a few thousand cavalry at most, which is much shabby compared to Sun Guozhu.

"My lord, since we decided to treat the Tartars as snakes for the time being, shouldn't we be more cautious in attacking Gaolian Qionglei's four mansions?" Ma Zhaoxi said.

"No need." Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Let's talk and fight at the same time. After the four governments are taken down, we will use the name of peace talks to stop fighting and sell the Tartars to save face. The lonely envoy hasn't arrived in Beijing yet. How can we stop?" Offensive? It’s not that there is no food and grass now, no matter what, we must first win the four remote prefectures in Guangdong and open the sea.”

"My lord, but in this way, the Qing court may doubt our sincerity!" Wan Niance frowned.

Sun Kewang said lightly: "I have been fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years in Yungui. Even if we respectfully shave our heads now, the Tatars will not believe that we are loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. I, Sun Kewang, and you were driven out of Yungui by Li Dingguo. It’s human nature to want to find a place to stay, and the Qing court will understand us.”

"Ah——" Wan Niance, Ma Zhaoxi and Zhang Hu were stunned.

"You guys still can't see through the Qing court. Now the primary goal of the Tartars is to conquer Yungui and destroy the Yongli court. In order to accomplish this goal, no matter how much trouble I make in Guangxi, no matter how much I bully it, it is gratifying, as long as it doesn't affect the Qing court. They will temporarily bear with the big plan of the Qing Dynasty, and wait until later to settle the score."

Sun Kewang said to himself: "In the past, in order to stabilize Zheng Chenggong, the money and food along the southeast coast were left to the soldiers and horses of King Yanping. As long as we don't attack Guangzhou with great fanfare, or go north to Guilin, other things will not be a problem. Ma Tun is in Gaozhou, collecting grain and salaries everywhere, maybe the Tartars will breathe a sigh of relief when they attack Yunnan and Guizhou, thinking that I am the second Zheng Chenggong, only looking for petty profits in front of me, regardless of the overall strategy."

As soon as the words fell, Wan Niance and others looked thoughtful, and then nodded. The Manchu Qing's main energy is now in Yunnan and Guizhou. They are beyond the reach of Guangdong and Guangxi. Sun Kewang's words are indeed reasonable.

"Okay, let's first arrange for people to go to Beijing and Kunming. We will ask Beijing for money and food in the name of revenge, and then we will ask Kunming for money and food in the name of resisting the Qing Dynasty. In short, we have to show off now. The attitude of waiting for the price made both the Manchu and Nanming offer bids. I, Sun Kewang, have been in charge of Yunnan and Guizhou for ten years. As an important country leader, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in my hands, I don’t believe that no one will fight for it!"
