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

Chapter 41 Moving to Guiyang
After a discussion of merit and rewards, the Liangguang Army represented by Deng Yao, Chen Qice, and Wang Xing were quite satisfied, and they also changed their views on Sun Kewang, the leader of the country, from the bottom of their hearts.

The four generals of Yongli are relatively able to fight. Deng Yao used Longmen Island as his base and had attacked Qinzhou and Leizhou many times. Originally, he really let him beat Leizhou next year.

Although he only captured a city garrisoned by green battalions, Guo Xingye, who had 72 towns and 10,000+ troops, had been fighting on the southeast coast for many years. Until now, he had not captured a city with his own strength.

Zheng Jun fought hard in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou for ten years, and also went to Chaozhou, Guangdong for several battles. Except for the only time he relied on Liu Guoxuan to capture the capital of Zhangzhou at the end of the Battle of Xinhui in Li Dingguo, Zheng Jun only conquered the county town.

By the time they relied on their own strength to conquer the first city through battle, it would already be during the Battle of Nanjing.

Although the combat effectiveness of Deng Yao's troops cannot be compared with that of Jia Qian's army, it is still pretty good. It is gratifying that Chen Qice's regiment defeated the Guangdong Navy, and Wang Xing defeated them in Wen Village.

Sun Kewang's mule armor was used by the three of them without wasting anything.

After inspecting the four prefectures and contacting the two Guangxi armies, Sun Kewang returned to Nanning. The major construction of Guangxi and Gaolian Lei Sanfu was about to begin.

At the same time, the whole world is turbulent, and the waves are strange. When Sun Kewang is gradually opening up the situation in Guangxi, the main force of Xiying in Yunnan and Guizhou is about to experience turbulent waves again.

After Shu Wang Liu Wenxiu led Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing and other troops into Guizhou, he got Sun Kewang's general Ma Jinzhong's support. After Sun Kewang met, Sun Kewang took the last [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to Guangxi. Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang, etc. The large area of ​​land was handed over to Liu Wenxiu.

When Sun Kewang's troops entered Guangxi, Liu Wenxiu personally sat in Guiyang to recruit Sun Kewang's old troops in Huguang and Sichuan.

Yang Wu and Gao Qilong stationed in Wugang, Xu Yanwei and Gao Fengxiang in Chenzhou, Li Rubi and Ta Xinche in Chongqing, and Di Sanpin in Xuzhou all responded and expressed their willingness to support the Yongli court.

In addition to these generals guarding the border, local officials in Guizhou, Huguang, and Sichuan generally accepted the change of banner from Yunnan to Guizhou. Except for a few die-hard loyalists such as Wu Fengsheng of Jingzhou and Sun Guozhu, the other generals calmly followed the orders of Shu King Liu Wenxiu.

After receiving the oath of allegiance from tens of thousands of troops guarding the border and local officials from Guizhou and other places, Liu Wenxiu, who had an overall view, quickly began to rectify the defense of Guizhou and other places.

He sat in Guiyang, appeased the generals guarding the border, and also sent more troops and horses to strengthen the defense forces of Sichuan and Huguang. For a time, the storm gradually subsided in Guizhou and other places.

At the end of October 1657, Liu Wenxiu saw that the situation in Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang had stabilized.

However, the border troops were still locked in a stalemate with the Qing army at Wugang and Chenzhou in Hunan, and the situation in Guiyang was as peaceful as Mount Tai.

So Liu Wenxiu wrote to Emperor Yongli to move to Guiyang. In this way, Guiyang would be closer to Hunan and Sichuan, making it easier to command. Secondly, it could also reflect the enterprising spirit of the imperial court and inspire people.

In November, with the support of King Liu Wenxiu of Shu, Duke Mu Tianbo of Guizhou and others, the Yongli court, which had just finished exploring Wang Ziqi's issue and issued an imperial edict pardoning Wang Ziqi and others' crimes, faced a new problem.

"My dear friends, what do you think of the King of Shu's request for the court to move to Guiyang?" Zhu Youlang spoke slowly while sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Qian Mu Tianbo came out and said.

"The imperial court has just put down Sun Kewang's rebellion. The hearts of Yunnan and Guizhou are floating, and the Manchu Tatars are also watching with eager eyes. This is the time of crisis for the country."

"If Your Majesty is willing to move to Guiyang to show the imperial court's enterprising spirit, then the people of Yungui will be assured. If the Manchurian Tartars do not know what to do and dare to invade our southwest, the imperial court will be able to command nearby and calmly dispatch various armies to deal a head-on blow. "

"Your Majesty, what the Duke of Guizhou said is absolutely true." Wang Yinglong, Minister of Industry, also said.

"Kunming is far away in the south of the sky, too far away from Chenzhou, Wugang, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places. The imperial court and the tens of thousands of troops guarding the border cannot respond well. When they move to Guiyang, no matter if there is trouble in Sichuan, Huguang or Guangxi, the imperial court will Being able to learn quickly and respond calmly.”

Yongli nodded slightly when he heard this. He had been the emperor for more than ten years, so he naturally understood what Mu Tianbo and Wang Yinglong said.

Seeing that the emperor had made a move, Mu Tianbo and Wang Yinglong winked. In the hall, senior officials from the Yongli court came out one after another to explain to Yongli the importance of moving to Guiyang.

In the Yongli court in Kunming, the more important ministers included Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, university students Fu Gang, Lei Yuelong, and Ma Jixiang, Minister of Personnel Zhang Zuochen, Minister of Industry Wang Yinglong, and Minister of Household Affairs Gong Yi.

Among these people, Mu Tianbo, Wang Yinglong, and Gong Yi are old people from the Sun Kewang period.

Needless to say, the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, had to take care of his face even in Yunnan. Wang Yinglong was an old man in the Daxi Army. He served as the Minister of Industry of Daxi during the Zhang Xianzhong period. Behind him, he represented the civil servants of the Western Camp.

And Gong Yi is Sun Kewang's confidant. When the Yongli court moved to Kunming, he refused to take up an official position appointed by the court on the grounds that he had received Kewang's kindness in Yunnan for ten years. job.

With Mu Tianbo and Wang Yinglong taking the lead, the voices in the hall in favor of moving to Guiyang naturally became the mainstream.

"Your Majesty, moving to Guiyang will be beneficial to the country, so please make your decision." Mu Tianbo concluded when he saw that the time was ripe.

"Okay!" Emperor Yongli stood up. Under the praise of many ministers, after moving to Guiyang, even the restoration of the Central Plains was just around the corner. Emperor Yongli also became excited when he heard this.

However, just as he was about to announce the result, a discordant voice came over.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

Mu Tianbo and the others frowned, looking for the sound.

"Commander Ma, Your Majesty is about to make a decision, why are you interfering?" Mu Tianbo said displeased.

Ma Jixiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, who can also work in the cabinet at the same time, saw the displeasure on Mu Tianbo's face, and said hastily.

"Duke Qian, the imperial court's move to Guiyang still needs to be negotiated."

Mu Tianbo said slowly: "Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart, and I will just follow the order."

"Your Majesty!" Ma Jixiang came out and saluted Yongli.

"Moving to Guiyang is a great thing, but Guiyang is too close to the border. If you are not careful, the Tatars will attack and disturb your majesty. I will not give up until I die!"

As soon as Yongli said this, his expression changed. Ma Jixiang was worthy of being an old man who had been in the Yongli court for many years.
