Chapter 143 Muddy the water

During the Western Army's counterattack, although the new recruits had very little combat experience, the Eight Banners at that time was no longer the Eight Banners when they first entered the country.

In 1652, when the Qing army entered the pass, all the generals were basically dead, and only one Nikan was able to take action.

And most of those veterans withered away, and the Eight Banners recruits had not experienced many battles, so compared with the soldiers and horses of Xiying, the Eight Banners were just like that.

Although Sun Guozhu's [-] recruits have no combat experience, how many wars have their opponents, the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, experienced from six years ago to now?
In the past six years, since the Battle of Chalukou, the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia has never been dispatched again.

The original veterans were further damaged, and the newly added Manchu and Mongolian recruits not only lived in Beijing, experienced the influence of the colorful world, but also had not experienced a war for many years, so one can imagine their fighting qualities.

As long as Sun Guozhu's new soldiers are properly trained and led by veteran soldiers, they may not be unable to win in a decisive battle with such an Eight Banners force.

Of course, compared with the Manchu and Mongolian recruits, the training time for Sun Guozhu's recruits was still too short.

But musketeers and cuirassiers are arms that can be mastered quickly in three months. If you practice for a year, your level will not improve qualitatively after several years of practice.

Therefore, it is conceivable that at the time of the decisive battle, the performance of the Guangxi wolf soldiers who had received sufficient training after a year would not be much inferior to that of the Manchu and Mongolian recruits.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that matters in Guangdong and Guangxi are now on track. The recruits' food, salary, land, and ordnance can all be properly settled. When the decisive battle comes, the recruits will definitely dare to fight!" Wan Niance, the Minister of War, handed over his hands.

Sun Kewang nodded slightly. People in this era were relatively simple-minded. The less well-off people were, the easier it was for them to fight for something.

Working for a few buckets of rice is hard to imagine in later generations, but it is a common thing in this era.

More than 200 years later, the Sichuan soldiers dared to bayonet with the Red Army at Baizhang Pass for the reward of twenty oceans of silver, and actually won.

In this era, Sun Guozhu gave so much and even divided the land. It would be unreasonable for his Guangxi soldiers not to fight hard!
"I have no worries about the new recruits."

Sun Kewang said slowly: "It's just that Hong Chengchou has sent Jia Ziming to Yunnan. I'm afraid Hong Chengchou will be suspicious of Gu's plan to gather troops and gather valleys."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Sun Kewang's plan of gathering troops and harvesting grain was very effective. If Zhang Hu and others hadn't known what kind of medicine their king was selling in his gourd, they might have believed it!
"What the king said is that Jia Ziming, a monster, will definitely contact Hong Chengchou secretly. Once the Tatars know the actual situation in Yunnan, the king's plan to gather troops and gather valleys will not be able to scare the Tatars."

Wan Niance said worriedly: "And that's not all. If the Qing court knew the actual situation and the king's plan to fake surrender, I'm afraid they would also become suspicious!"

Everyone frowned even more when they heard this.

"That's not all." Sun Kewang sneered: "With the virtue of the Yongli court, I think Jia Ziming can also detect Gu's contact with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu."

"In this way, if Jia Ziming learns that Gu asked Li Dingguo to send troops in the summer, Hong Chengchou, an old dog, will become even more suspicious of Gu's purpose."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned pale, and they almost broke out in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we have to make plans early. If we had known that the court would be like this, our Majesty should not have contacted Li Dingguo."

"Now that the capital of Dian is in chaos, the contact will definitely be rejected. I'm afraid the king's plan to fake surrender is not good." Ma Zhaoxi said in a serious voice.

Sun Kewang also sighed after hearing this. There was unrest in the southeast, the divine wind in the country, chaos in the capital of Yunnan, and Li Jin Tianlei. He really couldn't do anything about these things.

His teammates don't listen to him, what can he do in Guangxi?
He has not had much contact with Zheng Chenggong, let’s not talk about the Kamikaze issue for the time being.

Bai Wenxuan and others were unable to stop Li Dingguo's thunderous incident.What can his elder brother do?Does Li Dingguo believe him or Bai Wenxuan?
It's not that no one is aware of the chaos in Yunnan, but that many opinions and criticisms cannot reach Li Dingguo's ears. All opinions, including those of his most trusted Bai Wenxuan, are ignored by Li Dingguo.

At this time, Li Dingguo, who was mentally ill, went his own way and insisted on his own way. Unless he wakes up himself, it will be difficult for anyone to come.

Once a person stands too high, it is easy to lose touch with the reality and all living beings below.

After the disconnection, the people above have the thinking of the people above, and the people below have the thinking of the people below. However, the thinking of the people above seems weird to the people below, and the people above have supreme power, so all kinds of weird things happen. policy.

Li Dingguo's current cognition is already divorced from reality, and there are people like Ma Jixiang and Jin Weixin who are flattering him, so his various behaviors are puzzling.

In fact, let alone Li Dingguo, even Lord Sun behaved very strangely before he was defeated in the battle.

There are too many such examples in history.

People can see different things with their eyes depending on their location.

If one is not possessed and looks down, there will be problems with the person's cognition.

But now it is obvious that there is a problem with Li Dingguo's cognition.

At this point in time, regarding the situation in Yunnan, he was still dreaming of joining forces with Zheng Chenggong in Nanjing.

Of course, Li Dingguo was not the only one who had problems.

When Zheng Chenggong made a desperate move to launch the Yangtze River Campaign, he imagined that his tiger body would be shaken, and Nanjing's civil and military officials would come to worship him.

They stationed their troops at the gates of Nanjing and dreamed of conquering Nanjing without a fight.

What happened in the end?

After all, everyone has demons. The key depends on whether the demons are serious or not. The timing of onset is unknown.

"In the past, the imperial court sent people to Guiyang and ordered me to hand over the troops and horses to Dingguo and return the money and food to Yongli. I don't know what the people in the imperial court were thinking."

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Now that Li Dingguo has been hanging out with people from the imperial court for a long time, his spirit is not normal. Not only is Yunnan hopeless, but Hong Chengchou will also be suspicious of Gu's plan to fake surrender."

"If I hadn't predicted it in advance, I'm afraid the Tatars would have seen through Gu's plan!"

"The king had expected this!" Everyone was shocked.

"Of course." Sun Kewang sneered: "Gu's letter has probably arrived in Beijing by now."

"Jia Ziming was indeed able to find out about Gu's contacts with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu in Yunnan."

"And Hong Chengchou really believed in Jia Ziming."

"But the Qing court may not necessarily believe in Hong Chengchou. Even if it believes in Hong Chengchou, it must believe in Jia Ziming who Hong Chengchou believes in!"

"So as long as Gu can muddy the water, the Qing court may not take any action against me."
