Ning Yu's sentence that Kangxi has not been sixty years is a joke, but it also reflects that in Ning Yu's heart at present, he has no fear of this seemingly huge Qing Dynasty.

The reason is very simple, the sentence "Hulu has no luck for a hundred years" has begun to become true step by step, why did the rebellion of the three feudatories forty years ago go so smoothly? In the early days, it was almost difficult to meet opponents, except that the green battalion soldiers under the three feudatories had indeed been in war for a long time and were stronger than the soldiers of the imperial court, and a large part of the reason was that the people's hearts were turned back.

Manchuria's stay in the Central Plains seemed to many people to be a bit of a fluke, and the Han people were not convinced, not to mention that a book of hair shaving orders forced countless Han people to rebel. In this case, although the background of the three feudal domains was not glamorous, there were still many people who favored the three feudal domains, so in the early stage of the war, the three feudal domains were able to conquer several provinces in a short period of time.

Compared with the three feudatories, the current situation faced by the Fu Han army has not changed much, although Taiwan cannot be regarded as Austrian aid, but there is still a plot in the northwest Alabutan, not to mention that the White Lotus Sect seems to have a tendency to raise troops, and when the time comes, one south and one north, one Fu Han army and one White Lotus Sect, the situation faced by Kangxi is the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the lock sleeve tied to the head of the Ning family has been loosened a lot, especially after the battle of Xiangyang, Ning Zhongyuan re-led the second division back to defend Wuchang, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Changen, the governor of Hunan, were held up by Huang Fengshan's garrison regiment regardless of the sacrifice of the way of play, and after Ning Zhongyuan joined the division, it was a two-sided attack, Zhang Changen lost more than 10,000 people, retreated to Yuezhou, and sooner or later became a prisoner of the Han army.

In this context, the position of Jingzhou can be said to be very critical, the metropolitan governor's office sent an order, let Ning Yu form the Jingzhou camp, Ning Yu served as the general manager of the camp, and Cheng Zhien served as the deputy head of the camp, after a short repair, went straight to Yichang and Jingmen Prefecture, and the original third division under the leadership of Cheng Ming was responsible for conquering Yunyang Mansion.

However, just as the Fu Han army was growing and growing, the problem faced by Ning Yu was not only to win on the battlefield, it was not enough to win the war, but also to appease people's hearts. Only by gathering people's hearts can we develop further.

............................

At this time, Wuchang City can be called a jubilant, at the beginning of the war, many people did not support the Fu Han army, or did not dare to support, even took the initiative to cut the braids are not few, but now it is different, some people in the city still close to the Fu Han army, but also their braids to the hanging.

After all, everyone is human and has the consciousness of avoiding danger, the original Fu Han army is just the identity of a rebel army, and it will be exterminated by the Qing army mobilized at any time, but after these battles, the people have discovered the weakness of the Qing army, and there are few men who really dare to fight, like this Qing army, let alone tens of thousands, even if it is hundreds of thousands, it is just a piece of scattered sand.

Therefore, the Fu Han army that won the victory on the battlefield also won a victory among the people, and many people began to cooperate with the Fu Han army, and the Fu Han army also gathered many people at the recruitment points in various places, and the banner was even more amazing.

At this time, many poor people who couldn't survive were twisted and joined the Fu Han Army, but I want to ask where did the Fu Han Army get so many fields? The reason is very simple, in Jingzhou alone, there are 300,000 mu of confiscated banner fields, and the seized silver is more than 7 million taels, plus the confiscation of the land and property of those uncooperative squires and landlords.

Ning Zhongyuan originally took Cui Wancai and others out of the Governor's Mansion to check the people's situation, but when he saw the long queue at this recruitment point, his face was a little more happy, and the battle was getting better and better.

Cui Wancai pointed to the men who were conscripting, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This time, I am afraid that my Han army will be able to recruit 30,000 horses, and I am afraid that there will be 50,000 people in the original total, which is also the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor on the battlefield!" With these people, the next encirclement and suppression of the Qing army is not to be worried. ”

Ning Zhongyuan was slightly worried, "Although our army won a big victory on the battlefield this time, it also relied on the advantages of guns and artillery, and now although a large number of young people have joined our army, after all, the equipment is insufficient, and I am afraid it will be difficult to really exert its combat power in a short period of time." ”

This is still an old problem of the Fu Han army, because since the modern war mode, the requirements for logistics are getting higher and higher, and the current Fu Han army has only been in the army for half a year, and the background is seriously insufficient, and now many soldiers still use the old Manchu Qing Dynasty bird guns and swords, which also seriously limits the strength of the Fu Han army.

Just like on Huangfeng Mountain, Zhang Changen's 30,000 Qing soldiers almost broke through the garrison, but fortunately, the artillery fire was very good, and the fighting spirit of the Qing army was not strong, which stabilized the battlefield situation and held on until Ning Zhongyuan, but even so, the casualties of the garrison regiment were as many as 1,000 people.

Cui Wancai said with a smile: "Don't worry, the young general has escorted back more than 10,000 bannermen, except for some who died on the way, there are still 10,800 people who can go to Daye to dig iron ore, and the mining speed of our army will be greatly accelerated at that time!" Naturally, the speed of iron smelting can also keep up with the demand. ”

Cui Wancai actually held back a section and didn't say anything, because in Ning Yu's advice to the political hall, the use of flag people is to increase production. In other words, all the flag men must go down to the mine, and it has to be the most dangerous place, as for the intensity of work, as long as they are not tired to death, they will continue to work!

Ning Yu even added a sentence after the suggestion, "It is necessary to give priority to increasing production, it is feasible to exchange blood for iron in a short period of time, and more captives will be sent in the near future." "For Ning Yu, as long as they don't cooperate, they will be sent to Daye Iron Mine to contribute to the future of the Fu Han Army, as for how many people die, this is not the key.

"In addition, according to the intention of the major general, a new iron factory and gun factory will be opened in Hanyang soon, and the name has been set, called Hanyang Iron Works and Hubei Gun Factory, plus the iron ore of our Daye, the manufacturing speed of this gun can also keep up with the pace of development of our army."

Ning Zhongyuan said with a smile: "This stinky boy doesn't forget his roots!" Our army started in Hanyang, and this iron mine and gun factory should naturally be located in Hanyang, as for the name, it is a bit vulgar. "This veteran of the Green Battalion who was born in the battlefield has now begun to be elegant, and he has a little disdain for his son's taste.

If Ning Yu knew Ning Zhongyuan's thoughts, I am afraid that he would cry and laugh, the so-called Hanyang Iron Works and Hubei Gun Factory were originally the masterpieces of Zhang Zhidong in later generations, and now he is just doing according to the rules.
