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

Chapter 4 Jintian Uprising, One Hundred Thousand Wolf Soldiers Enter Nanjing?

"Yes! I have been following the lord for more than ten years. Didn't I feel good after suffering several disasters during the period? Now that Guizhou is still there, and there are [-] soldiers and horses, today's defeat is nothing to worry about!"

For a while, the generals of the Jiaqian army spoke out one after another, and the crowd became agitated. They even said that they would counterattack Yunnan, reorganize Yunnan and Guizhou, and then fight the Manchus.

Sun Kewang looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't laugh or cry.

"As things stand now, it would be great if I can lead Zhang Sheng and more than 2 trusted troops in Guiyang to carry out a strategic transfer. Don't even think about the tens of thousands of garrison troops in Huguang and Sichuan."

Having said that, Sun Kewang did not say it clearly. Now that the army is in a situation of overwhelming defeat, it would be good to boost the morale of these thousands of defeated soldiers.

Soon the food was ready, and a loyal general Sun Kewang delivered it respectfully, and thousands of former soldiers also began to gobble up food.

When the situation slowed down slightly, Sun Kewang also had the opportunity to figure out the way out in his mind.

"According to history, Li Dinghui will return to rescue Kunming, and Liu Wenxiu will take Bai Wenxuan as the vanguard and send five thousand cavalry to chase after me, the lord of the country. Liang Cheng and the others control the chain bridge on the Beipan River, but Ma Jinzhong does not necessarily have to If there is no news of the defeat of my country's lord, I will first cross the Beipan River and burn the Tiesuo Bridge, suspend Bai Wenxuan's pursuit, and then build up my horsepower, rush through Anshun at night, and go straight to Guiyang to grasp the last more than 2 yuan Lead the army!"

"If Zhang Sheng gets the news, Li Dingguo's [-] exhausted soldiers may not be able to defeat the [-] cavalry. As long as Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu are careful, Li Dingguo will definitely not be able to keep this army."

"When they pass through Zhanyi Prefecture and Wusa Mansion from the North Road, and leave Qixing Pass to Guiyang, I will have more room for maneuver."

Sun Kewang thought carefully and used his prophetic advantage to find a way to break the situation. After a while, he was familiar with the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty and made up his mind.

"Guizhou is absolutely undefendable. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu support Yongli and hold righteousness in their hands. Except for the Qianqian army, the rest of the troops in Guizhou, Huguang, and Sichuan have not many people at all when we are defeated. Willing to listen to the orders of my lord."

"If you bring more than 3 troops to fight against Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu in Guizhou, let alone whether you can win the battle. Even if you win and keep Guizhou, the Manchu Qing will send troops from three routes to Yunnan and Guizhou at the beginning of next year. !"

It is now the 11th year of the Yongli calendar, September 1657 AD, how could the three kings of Yunnan and Guizhou miss the opportunity due to internal strife among Qing courts?
On December 1th of this year, the Qing court will march in three directions. Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi on the north route, marches southward from Hanzhong, Shaanxi to Guizhou; Leading more than [-] people to attack Guizhou in the north via Guilin, Guangxi, and defeated the [-] elite soldiers of Li Dingguo who lost the chain at Shuanghekou in history.

The main force on the East Road was led by the clan Gushan Ezhenluotuo, and led some Eight Banners soldiers to join Hong Chengchou's Huguang Green Camp to attack Guizhou in the west.

In addition to these three armies, there was also the main force of the Eight Banners of King Doni of Xinjun as the reserve team, who led troops into Guizhou in September of the second year.

Now that Sun Kewang's 14 army has been defeated, only a few thousand soldiers and horses are left. Even if he returns to Guiyang and integrates the rest of the former army to save Guizhou, how will his remaining soldiers and horses stop the joint attack of the three Qing armies next year?
"Guizhou is already dead. Now we can only imitate the ingenuity of Sun Kewang, the leader of the country in history, and lead troops from Guizhou to Guangxi, and then use the military force of the former army and the administrative team in Guiyang to manage Guangxi until next year's autumn harvest. , Pulling up [-] soldiers and horses, when the Qing army entered Yunnan, [-] wolf soldiers went north to Huguang, and joined forces with Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and the rest of the Dashun Army in the Kuidong area to block the Qing army directly in Yunnan-Guizhou plateau!"

"By that time, the world is still uncertain. Maybe I, the grandson of the Pingdong King, can imitate another East King, raise troops from Guangxi, go north to Huguang, directly use the opportunity of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan's Northern Expedition to Nanjing, and go straight down the river. Take Nanjing!”

Sun Kewang carefully calculated in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that following the example of the remnants of the [-] Great Western Army ten years ago under the leadership of his predecessor Sun Kewang from Sichuan to Yunnan via Guizhou and jumping out of a deadlock, the newly appointed ruler brought [-] troops with him. The strategic plan to transfer the elite of the former army to Guangxi is very promising.

Originally, in the Wanli period, the country's cultivated land was estimated to be about 700 million hectares. In the Ming Dynasty, one hectare was [-] mu, which means that there were a total of [-] million mu of cultivated land.

Among them, Yunnan has 93 hectares and Guizhou has 160 hectares. The two poorest provinces add up to more than 2 hectares and more than 200 million acres of land, accounting for only [-]% of the country's cultivated land. One does not arrive.

With this economic condition, Sun Kewang was able to quickly raise 10,000+ troops after taking control of Yunnan. After taking over Guizhou, southern Sichuan, and western Hunan, he even supported more than [-] field troops. , Externally, the chieftains are suppressed, and internally, the things and the people are safe.

Under the governance of Sun Kewang, the Daxi Army overhauled water conservancy in Yunnan, and the soldiers and civilians continued to open up the cultivated land in Yunnan. Even in the 18th year of Shunzhi, 1661 AD, after the Qing army invaded Yunnan, there were still arable land in Yunnan. With 5 and 110 hectares, Guizhou also has 740 and [-] hectares. Sun Kewang succeeded in governing Yunnan every year, and even blessed the Shanhaiguan General Soldier who killed the most Tartars later.

When Sun Kewang was in power, there were about 1000 to 1000 hectares of arable land in Yunnan, plus the arable land in Guizhou, Xiangxi, and Sichuan, and the arable land in his hands was more than 700 hectares, or more than 150 million mu. With high efficiency and clear administration, the annual income of the land of more than [-] million mu is about [-] to [-] million shi of grain. (One stone weighs about [-] catties)
Relying on these several million stones of grain, Sun Kewang not only supported more than [-] troops, but also supported a large number of horses and mules.

During the three-way counterattack of the Daxi Army, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong's troops had more than 8 cavalry soldiers and tens of thousands of infantry. Not a few.

Li Dingguo's troops and Liu Wenxiu's troops also had a lot of cavalry. In the Battle of Baoning alone, more than 300 horses and mules were captured by Wu Sangui. During the Battle of Jiaoshui, Sun Ke expected to be able to easily dispatch [-] cavalry. , Bai Wenxuan can also lead five thousand cavalry. Anyway, within the Daxi Army, which can fight with the Eight Banners in the field, the number of cavalry can be imagined.

In the sixth year of Wanli, Yunnan and Guizhou combined had only 2 hectares of arable land. Although Guangxi was also a poor province, its arable land was as high as 4000 hectares, more than three times the combined amount of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces!Not to mention Huguang, there are more than 200 million hectares of arable land!

Even in Guangxi, which has repeatedly suffered military disasters, until the 18th year of Shunzhi, 1661 AD, there were still more than 5 hectares of land. Compared with Sichuan, which has land but has become an uninhabited land, its population is much larger. .

Now Sun Ke is expected to have the memory of the original ruler and the six administrative teams in Guiyang. If he can bring [-] elite soldiers to Guangxi, he will be able to move to Guangxi.

Relying on Guangxi's economic conditions, if we operate for one year and wait until next year's autumn harvest to collect several million dan of grain, wouldn't it mean that one hundred thousand wolf soldiers can be raised casually?
