In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the morning air is slightly cool, but it is more pleasant and pleasant.

Today is the day of rest, He Tengjiao had breakfast, and took two family children out of the city to take a boat, to Changsha Orange Island head walk all the way, from the end of the continent to the end of the road, watch the people eaves of the spring swallow into the nest, listen to the murmuring of the Xiangjiang River brush the shore, vomit the turbid breath in the chest, the five bodies and limbs can not be said to be comfortable.

Comfortable, He Junmen has been living a very comfortable life recently.

The 100,000 Manchu army marched into Hanzhong to fight against Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and this battle could not be fought in a year and a half...... Let them go dog-eat-dog, it's better to fight to the death, and lose both!

The Lu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred Zuihou's mobile forces and sent Dorobellebolo as the "General of the Southern Expedition", leading tens of thousands of troops into Hangzhou...... The Manchus can't take care of Huguang anymore!

Safe, Huguang is very safe now.

The river breeze blows, the east bank is Changsha City, the west bank is the Yuelu Mountain, He Tengjiao has a big heart, occasionally got a good sentence, and was about to chant poetry to the scene, but suddenly heard someone calling him from afar.

"Duxian, He Duxian!"

Looking back, it was Lu Ding, the new chief soldier of Yuezhou.

"The last general just came back from Yuezhou Mansion and disturbed He Duxian Yaxing, forgive the sins, forgive the sins......" On the informal occasion, Lu Ding only knelt down on one knee and bowed.

"The landscape is picturesque, and I am about to appreciate it with you, what is the crime?" He Tengjiao smiled and asked him to get up, "You suddenly rushed back to Changsha, is there anything wrong?" ”

You've all chased you to Orange Island, so let's talk about something.

"Qi Yu Governor Xian, the loyal battalion has captured Chengtian Mansion!" Lu Ding said: "Li Guo's troops are really brave and good at fighting, and the more than 100,000 troops of the loyal battalion are approaching Hanshui. After a series of fierce battles with Luckedhun, both armies suffered heavy casualties, and the Tartar soldiers could not afford to spend less, Zuihou retreated to Wuchang Mansion, and the loyal battalion captured Chengtian Mansion, and the last general thought that our army should attack Huangzhou Mansion as soon as possible......"

Li Guo conquered Chengtian Mansion and formed a semi-encirclement posture for Wuchang Mansion, seeing that the war in Hubei was winning one after another, Lu Ding specially rushed back to persuade He Tengjiao. Ask him to lead the Hunan army to participate in the battle.

"Hey, if the soldiers are in danger and fierce, if they are not sure of victory, how can they easily send troops?" He Tengjiao refused very simply, he still had this self-knowledge. The combat effectiveness of the Hunan official army is too poor, and it is for nothing to go up.

"The courage of the battalion of loyalty. Crowned the Huguang official army. It may not be an opponent of the Tartars! Lu Ding persuaded hard: "At present, the enemy is weak and I am strong, if the officers and men of the three armies are willing to use their lives, they will be able to recover Wuchang Mansion in one fell swoop, and then recover Hubei. ”

"Camp Loyalty?"

He Tengjiao disagreed. said coldly: "Letting that gang of thieves take Wuchang Mansion may not be the blessing of the imperial court!" ”

If the Hunan official army sends troops, it will be a cooperative operation at most, and the main force fighting against the Qing army will still be the loyal battalion. This kind of thing of making wedding dresses for people, He Tengjiao will never do it...... Moreover, in his mind, the hostility to the Loyal Battalion even exceeded that of the Manchus!

The Manchus were barbarian beasts, and they were meant to eat people, he could understand. But these peasant armies are internal thieves, that is, they destroyed the Great Tomorrow, otherwise the Manchus would not have had a chance to enter the customs.

During the Chongzhen period, Yang Sichang, the governor of Huguang, once scolded the peasant army: "Don't be an An'an starvation, especially the praying mantis." He Tengjiao agrees with this very much - you Weishenme don't stay at home and starve to death, but want to rebel and make trouble for the court?

Lu Ding still looked embarrassed.

"Blocking the army gate repeatedly urged to send troops, but the last general couldn't answer...... "Although he is the chief soldier of Yuezhou appointed by He Tengjiao, he has to be controlled by Yinxi in theory, just like the provincial governor appoints a county magistrate, and he has to listen to the mayor when he arrives at the local level.

"Don't go, don't go, let Plug Yinxi come to me!" He Tengjiao was angry: "Anyway, if you don't send troops, you won't go to a single soldier!" ”

The most fundamental reason why he refused to send troops to Hubei was that he was afraid of the Qing army, afraid of losing the battle, and subconsciously suddenly became angry, just to hide the fear in his heart.

He will not lead troops to war.

He is a standard scholar and bureaucrat, who is best at Bagu articles, scriptures and poetry, and knows all about officialdom, but he knows nothing about military affairs.

He is a more standard military layman, who can only recruit troops and horses, accumulate grain and grass, hide in the rear of Hunan and slowly develop his strength, fantasizing that he can train an invincible strong soldier in the world, and then destroy and crush all the enemies.

But He Tengjiao didn't expect that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had occupied two-thirds of the world, the territory was larger than Nanming, the population was larger than Nanming, and all kinds of resources were dominant, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to Nanming. Allowing the Manchu Qing to calmly prepare, calmly launch an attack, and then calmly rest and recuperate to attack again, Nanming can only deal with it passively, and sooner or later it will be a dead end.

"In front of me, don't mention the word Hubei again, if you are still half-hearted, don't be this Yuezhou commander!" He Tengjiao hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded Lu Ding, Lu Ding was his confidant and favorite general, how could he not understand his mind at all: "The crimes of this gang of thieves in the loyal camp are not forgiven, and the imperial court recruiting peace is just an expedient measure, so let them fight hard with the Tartars in Hubei, we will take this opportunity to run Hunan into an iron bucket." ”

Seeing that Lu Ding nodded yes, he said earnestly: "Everything should be done without urgency, and it is very good to be able to clean up Yuezhou Mansion in half a year...... Yuezhou Mansion is the gateway to Hunan, but the towns of Wang, Ma, and Ti have their own troops and do not listen to greetings, so how can they stop the Tartar army from going south? ”

"Yes, yes, after the last general returns to Yuezhou, he will definitely try his best to subdue the towns and train a loyal army to dedicate to the army!" Lu Ding was shocked.

After he served as the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, He Tengjiao also transferred Ma Jinzhong to Yuezhou Mansion and instructed him to seize the military power as soon as possible, and control Wang Kefan's department, Ma Jinzhong's department, Ti Zhaorong's department, and Chenglingji Water Division, but in this matter, he has not made any substantial progress.

He Tengjiao nodded and asked, "I heard that Wang Kefan stayed in Yuezhou Mansion after worrying, what is he doing?" Are you still honest? ”

Wang Kefan Ding was worried about his job and was given a hundred days of long vacation, but He Tengjiao received the news that he did not return to his hometown in Hengshili, but sent someone to Changsha and took his family to Yuezhou Mansion.

He Tengjiao was a little worried, Wang Kefan was just on a long vacation and did not remove him from his position as a general, what did he want to do in Yuezhou? Could it be that he is still reluctant to have military power and is remotely controlling in secret? (To be continued......)
