Chapter 82
Sun Kewang looked at Ma Zhaoxi and Wan Niance who were gritting their teeth, and nodded slightly.

In just one year, he couldn't be harsh on the two of them anymore.

To be able to complete the purchase of shotguns, spears, and cotton armor is already a huge miracle created by the Sixth Department of Administration.

Although he spent five years in Yunnan and expanded his army by 20, he had the qualifications to compete with the Manchus.

But everything is difficult at the beginning!
There are a lot of things, the beginning is the hardest, and only when everything is straightened out can we get better and better.

Although the army will expand by 20 in five years, it will expand by [-] in one year.

In Guangxi, his situation is far better than when he first entered Yunnan.

Forty thousand elite troops, more than 1 cavalry, tens of thousands of horses and mules, Guiyang's money, food, ordnance, and craftsmen.

Under all circumstances, Sun Kewang is in much better shape than the [-] remnants of his hasty breakout.

However, most of the [-] remnants of the Western Camp and the tens of thousands of new recruits expanded after the autumn harvest in the first year were trained with spears!

The latter is also after the military industry capabilities are improved, and the equipment system can be improved.

Nowadays, relying on the Sixth Department of Administration and Guangdong's developed firearms, it is not easy to send shotguns and cotton armor in place.

As for the lack of archers and iron armor, it is not conducive to fighting the Qing army.

Let’s discuss this issue later. In just one year, the Yongli court has not finished arguing about the issue of the former king.

The Sixth Department of Administration can make [-] recruits look good, which can already shock a group of people's jaws.

"Nian Ce, Zhaoxi, I know that one year is too short. Although there is enough food, the recruits have been trained for several months, and they are already quite powerful under the elite leadership of Gu Jiaqian, but what is needed for 10 people? The ordnance is too vast."

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "But precisely because of this, Shang Kexi will not believe that there are one hundred thousand soldiers alone, Hong Chengchou will not believe that there are one hundred thousand soldiers alone, and the Tartar court will not believe that there are one hundred thousand soldiers alone!"

"We just want to do it, they can't do it, they can't think of it, so we can take it by surprise! Restore the country of my Han family!"

The reason why Kong Youde and Nikan in Xiying were defeated was the reason why the Qing court was passive.

The reason is not careless?
Who would have thought that Xiying could create a field army of 20 in Yunnan and march in three directions?

After Li Dingguo joined forces with Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong, with more than [-] troops and horses, Shen Yongzhong immediately peed.

Wu Sangui took [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to conquer most of Sichuan.

As a result, Liu Wenxiu brought a 6-person stick with his backhand and almost beat the shit out of King Pingxi.

Otherwise, Xiying would not have achieved such great results.

Ma Zhaoxi and Wan Niance said solemnly: "My lord, please don't worry! Even if the two of us risk our lives, we must let the lord's [-] new troops be well-equipped!"

"Okay!" Sun Kewang smiled and said, "When the [-] new troops are successful, Gu will definitely confer titles on both of you! You are the number one contributors to the success of my Northern Expedition to Huguang!"

Hearing this, Ma Zhaoxi and Wan Niance became very clever.

"Thank you, my lord!" The two saluted.

"Please hurry up, if the [-] new troops are successful, your contribution will be higher than that of Feng Shuangli and Zhang Sheng. If you are still reluctant to part with the title, wouldn't you be humiliating the heroes?"

"You guys take this title for granted, why should it be like this?"

Sun Kewang smiled and helped the two of them up. In Nanning City, the monarch and his ministers were peaceful.

The opposite is the atmosphere in Kunming.

"It is my decree to evacuate all the border generals from Sichuan and Chu, and let them return to Yunnan to accept the adaptation of the King of Jin. Fortunately, the matter of Guizhou is over!" Emperor Yongli said solemnly.

"Your Majesty is holy!" Ma Jixiang quickly knelt on the ground, kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

"Your Majesty is holy!" A minister fell to his knees and shouted long live.

Amid the mountain calls, two opposing voices came.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Guizhou Duke Mu Tianbo begged, "If all the border guards are withdrawn, the border will be empty, and if the Tartars take advantage of the emptiness and go south, Sichuan, Huguang, and Guizhou will not be owned by the imperial court!"

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu is doing well in Guizhou. The situation in Sichuan, Huguang, and Guizhou has stabilized. Now is the time for the imperial court to face the national crisis with one heart!"

Wang Yinglong bitterly said: "If the imperial court issues this edict, I'm afraid the country will be destroyed!"

Ma Jixiang glanced at Mu Tianbo and Wang Yinglong coldly, but did not speak.

Li Dingguo stationed troops in Yongchang to threaten the imperial court.

Now that the dust has settled, in front of the two kings of Jin and Shu, the court chose King Jin.

No matter how good Mu Tianbo and Wang Yinglong are, they are useless.

In the first month of 1658, the Yongli imperial court launched a large-scale campaign to suppress the rebel towns.

Bai Wenxuan was conferred the title of King Gongchang by Duke Gong, Ma Jinzhong was proclaimed King of Hanyang by Duke E, Ma Bao was proclaimed Duke of Huai by Bo Anding, Ma Weixing was proclaimed Duke of Xu by Bo Xingshan, and He Jiuyi was proclaimed Duke by Baokang. Hou Jin was granted the title of Duke of Guangguo.

Jin Tongwu was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyang by the Bojin of Pingyang, Qi Sansheng was granted the title of Marquis of Xianning by the Bojin of Xianning, and Gao Wengui was granted the title of Marquis of Guangchang by the Bojin of Guangchang.

The rest of the generals who stand in the correct line will each have a reward, and they will reach the sky in one step.

However, the generals who followed Sun Kewang in the rebellion and the first and second ends were liquidated and suppressed.

Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu and other important figures were brought to Guangxi by Sun Kewang.

However, the heads of the captured former army generals fell to the ground one after another.

At the vegetable market in Kunming City, countless people fell to the ground.

There were even many important generals who led the front army and were executed by Lingchi.

The officials of the Yongli court looked proud and proud, and the ignorant people in Kunming clapped their hands and cheered.

Except for the generals of the former army who were executed.

Di Sanpin, Wang Hui, Zhang Guangcui, Li Rubi, Ta Xince and others were demoted for the crime of party attachment.

Yang Wu, Gao Qilong, Xu Yanwei, Gao Fengxiang and others were favored by Li Dingguo.

With the arrangement already set, the imperial court, under the control of the civil and military forces of the Jin vassal, ordered all troops from Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places to return to Yunnan.

Anyway, meritorious generals such as Bai Wenxuan, Ma Weixing, and Ma Bao accepted the edict and withdrew from Guiyang City.

Yang Wu and others also got up, left the Huguang defense line, and returned to Yunnan.

Di Sanpin and others were dissatisfied, but while they were far away in Sichuan, their soldiers were unwilling to leave their homeland and go to Guangxi.

In addition, the punishment they received was only to be demoted, so they finally accepted the court's order.

Return to Yunnan from Chongqing, Xuzhou, Jiading and other places.

Of course, some civil and military officials who were loyal to Sun Kewang chose to go to Guangxi.

Wu Fengsheng of Jingzhou and Liu Tianxiu of Tianzhu led their troops to cross mountains and rivers.

On the way, the soldiers fled and were intercepted and killed by the troops of the Yongli court.

Finally arrived in Nanning in March.

In addition to the above actions.

The leader of the country, his father-in-law, Prime Minister Chao Gang, and Sun Kewang, the king of Qin who controlled the world's military forces, were deprived of all titles.

In the past, Sun Kewang, the lord of the country who had given Jiuxi to Yongli and led the people of the world to serve the king as his father, was now just an ordinary king of Nanning.

At the same level as Bai Wenxuan and Ma Jinzhong, and below Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu.

In addition to these, Yongli also named Feng Shuangli King Qingyang and Wang Shangli King Baoning.
