Chapter 10 Sacrifice and blood provoke

In He Tengjiao's mind, Yuezhou Mansion is already a mess, and the most haode result is to divide it into three, let Wang Kefan, Lu Ding, and Ma Jinzhong each occupy a piece, since Wang Kefan does not respect the order, give him a piece of land to claim the king.

This is He Junmen's plan to delay the army, the eight counties and one division of Yuezhou Prefecture, a total of such a large territory, Wang Kefan does not have the support of Hunan's food and salary, he can't afford to raise thousands of troops, he can only fish and meat in the township, make people angry, make enemies on all sides, and it is not too late to slowly manipulate him at that time.

But the development of things was unexpected, Zhang Kuang soon sent the news that Wang Kefan actually agreed to withdraw from Yuezhou Mansion, and the only condition was to form an independent camp!

……

Wang Kefan returned to Chongyang with the Gongyi camp.

Wang Kefan's strength is not enough, it is impossible to crush the entire Huguang, if you continue to fight with He Tengjiao, it is nothing more than me kicking you, you pulling my shoes, and waiting until a few months later, Kong Youde will go south, and everyone will be finished together.

He had another big thing to do.

He Tengjiao flies camp dogs, small belly chicken intestines, only Huguang is an acre of three-point land in his eyes, but Wang Kefan's heart is worried about the entire anti-Qing cause...... If he traveled to the Three Kingdoms era, he might fight for dominance in the world, but since he came to Nanming, salvation is the only goal.

Different from the Three Kingdoms period when warlords fought each other, although there were also warlords within the Southern Ming Dynasty, and He Tengjiao and other feudal officials were also degenerating into warlords, everyone had a common enemy - the powerful Manchu Qing. If Wang Kefan engages in secession and warlord melee within the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than a strengthened version of He Tengjiao, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty is an organic whole, and the Southern Ming Dynasty will die faster!

For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the rabbit had to unite with Lao Jiang, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Gui Department, Yan Xishan, and even the Sichuan Army to fight together, and the same was true in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Salvation is above all else!

Wang Kefan has to do it. It is to establish a united front against the Qing Dynasty and unite the scattered Nanming.

Among them, the most critical chess piece is Emperor Longwu!

Emperor Longwu, the most outstanding among the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, both political vision and ambition, are far higher than the Yongli Emperor behind, but unfortunately in a few months, he will die on the way to flee to Jiangxi, died in Tingzhou, Fujian.

Wang Kefan wants King Qin to save the driver!

Whether it is private or public, there is great benefit to rescuing Emperor Longwu.

The Fujian Zheng Zhilong brothers are about to be cleared. But Zheng Chenggong will insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty, he was given the surname Zhu by Emperor Longwu, so he was honored with the surname of the country, and he was loyal to Emperor Longwu...... Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi, is Longwu's henchman, but unfortunately only half of the province remains...... Ding Kui, the governor of Liangguang in Guangdong, was mediocre. But it was clear that it supported Longwu.

He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, was a political opportunist who disobeyed Emperor Longwu. But if Emperor Longwu can come to the central and southern regions. It was enough to suppress He Tengjiao...... Guangxi Governor Zhai Shiyun has always wanted to support King Gui (later Yongli), and Longwu looks like a god, but after Longwu became emperor, he also surrendered.

In general, Emperor Longwu's prestige far exceeds that of Yongli, and he is an ambitious and courageous monarch. With the help of Wang Kefan, the provinces of the Southern Ming Dynasty can be united and become a real country, so that they can have the ability to compete with the Manchus!

For Wang Kefan privately. Rescuing Emperor Longwu is even more beneficial, and it is a shortcut to quickly develop one's own shili.

When he returns to Huguang again, he will have a new identity, enough to compete with He Tengjiao, enough to control most civil and military officials, and enough to master enough resources......

Governor? Governor? Fight each other!

Adjutant general? General soldiers? It's just a general!

Food? Soldiers? It's up to me!

Moreover, Wang Kefan not only intends to rescue Longwu, but to enter the political stage of the Southern Ming Dynasty from now on, not to mention coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, at least to enter the power center of the imperial court and participate in the policies and strategies of the entire country.

Of course, this is not as simple as King Qin's rescue, but also depends on how to operate after rescuing Emperor Longwu.

Hanzhong He Zhen is just the beginning anyway, not long after Jin Shenghuan, Li Chengdong, and Shanxi Jiang Jiu will successively oppose the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty, and the anti-Qing struggle will usher in the first climax, if Nanming can seize this rare opportunity, he will be able to turn the entire war situation in one fell swoop!

(There are two opportunities in the history of Nanming to turn the tables, one is Jin Shenghuan and others anyway, and the other is Li Dingguo's two famous kings, but unfortunately Zuihou has failed.) )

In short, the opportunity is in front of us, and it depends on whether Wang Kefan can seize it.

There are still more than three months to go before Emperor Longwu was killed in Tingzhou, and if Wang Kefan wants to arrive in Tingzhou in time, he has to fight thousands of miles and cross most of Jiangxi diagonally. (Chongyang, Hubei is located in the northwest corner of Jiangxi, and Tingzhou, Fujian is located in the southeast corner of Jiangxi, with a straight-line distance of more than 500 kilometers.) )

Jiangxi is still under the control of Jin Shenghuan, if Wang Kefan marches in a straight line to Tingzhou, it will inevitably attract the tail of the Qing army to chase and intercept, and lead a large number of Qing troops to the vicinity of Tingzhou, and it is difficult to predict how Emperor Longwu will react.

The most haode way is to lead the Gongyi battalion to rush back and forth, interspersed repeatedly, to support Ganzhou as a false illusion to confuse the Qing army, first avoid the direction of Tingzhou, and then at the critical moment suddenly surprise troops, rushed to Tingzhou to rescue the desperate Emperor Longwu......

This is a complex and difficult operation, the Gongyi battalion is a lone army deep behind the enemy in Jiangxi, there is no backup, no supplies, the difficulty can be imagined.

But there are also opportunities.

The Qing army in Jiangxi, with Jin Shenghuan as the main force, are all green battalion soldiers who have just surrendered, which is better than the Eight Banners strong army. Besides, Jin Shenghuan is fighting fiercely in Ganzhou and Wanyuanji, and the rear troops are weak, so the Gongyi battalion can show its strength and turn Jiangxi upside down!

The Gongyi camp rested in Chongyang for two days, and when they arrived at Li Sizhuanji's brothers and sisters, they brought the first 40,000 taels of silver, which was directly spent by Wang Kefan.

All the soldiers were paid bimonthly salaries and made preparations for the levy, but they were not told the specific direction of the target, and the remaining silver was divided into two parts, one for the purchase of various military supplies, and the other for Quan Xi.

After another three days, Ti Zhaorong rushed back from Jingzhou with the Xiliang cavalry.

He followed Li Guo to fight a few tough battles, and there were still more than 3,000 cavalry under his command, of which more than 1,000 tired and wounded were resting in Jingzhou, and this time he brought back 1,600 elite cavalry and directly joined the Gongyi battalion.

According to the agreement reached between Yuezhou Mansion and Zhang Kuang, Wang Kefan's troops were independently formed into a camp, still called the Gongyi Battalion, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of Du Yinxi and got rid of He Tengjiao's control, and Niu Zhongxiao's men and horses were incorporated into He Tengjiao's supervision battalion.

Independent camping is of great significance to Wang Kefan's march into Jiangxi, he wants to go to King Qin's rescue, in fact, he is to hug the thick legs of Emperor Longwu, and it is not suitable to use the banner of He Tengjiao.

On the Chongyang school grounds, the Gongyi Battalion is holding a ceremony to sacrifice the flag and form an army.

"Knock knock ......"

The cowhide drums on both sides suddenly sounded, Wang Kefan stepped onto the point platform, hugged his fists and saluted Xu Bingzhong, Bu Zuowen and others next to him, and then got up and turned to the school field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today my Gongyi Battalion sacrificed the flag into an army, and the three armies celebrated together, and my Gongyi Battalion will be able to win a hundred battles!"

As he spoke, he took out a memorial written by himself and recited it aloud: "Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the parents did not protect their children, the husband and wife abandoned each other in the Kuang bed, the ten thousand cities were empty, and the fireworks for thousands of miles were extinguished...... Today, he swears that he will worship the sun, Chen will live in Jingbo, and the people with lofty ideals will not conspire to ......"

After reading the sacrificial text, Wang Kefan suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the cold and shining Uzi treasure knife!

"Sacrifice! Provocation! ”

With the shouts of the Chinese officer Jing Liang, more than a dozen sturdy soldiers took out two mouthfuls of green oxen and white sheep tied with flowers, fell to the ground with two thuds, and grabbed the hooves and horns of the cow and sheep together, and pressed the two animals in front of the point platform.

The little brother of the flag official Hua raised the flag and raised the drum and waited beside him, Wang Kefan stepped forward and raised the knife in his hand, the sheep's head fell to the ground, the cow's neck was pierced, two bloody arrows splashed out, and the tip of the Wuzibao knife slashed, which had wiped two deep blood stains on the military flag and war drums.

The color is pure as "sacrifice", and the body is all "livestock", the body of the green ox and white sheep is still twitching, and the troops have raised their swords and guns in their hands and roared in unison.

"Gongyi Battalion, mighty!" (To be continued......)
