At the end of the first year of Longwu, after half a year of recuperation, the Manchu Qing launched a large-scale offensive in Liliang, but on the attacking side of Xiangshang, the Manchu high-level had serious differences.

Some people advocate attacking Fujian and eliminating the Longwu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, some people advocate attacking Sichuan and eliminating Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, and some people advocate attacking Huguang and eliminating the remnants of the Dashun army of the Southern Ming...... Among the Han armed forces that insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, these three troops were undoubtedly the strongest, and as for Wang Kefan's Gongyi battalion, it seemed to them that it was just an unexpected little trouble, just like He Zhen, who suddenly resisted the Qing Dynasty anyway.

He Zhen, in the early years was a general of the Ming army, and later returned to Li Zicheng, when Duoduo and Azig attacked Shaanxi, He Zhen surrendered to the Qing army and was appointed as the general army of Hanzhong, because he was never trusted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and erected a flag at the end of the first year of Longwu to oppose the Qing Dynasty, claiming to be the general of Fengtian advocating righteousness, and played the banner of the Dashun army.

After the Hezhen uprising, the Shaanxi volunteers responded with a total of more than 70,000 people, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army in Shaanxi, swept across the Guanzhong Plain and besieged the provincial capital Xi'an...... The change in Shaanxi was like a blow to the head, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was caught off guard.

A fire broke out in the backyard, and the Manchu magnates finally unified their opinions, appointed the great Belle Hauge as the "Jingyuan General", and led the army to attack Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and by the way, he beat rabbits with grass and destroyed He Zhen in Hanzhong.

While attacking Zhang Xianzhong, Dolgon did not forget Fujian and Huguang, but vigorously mobilized troops and troops to prepare for the next full-scale attack......

……

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the city wall was blown open a huge gap, and before the dust and smoke had cleared, a white flag was hung on the city tower. The city gate opened, and the Manchu Puqi County Commander tied his hands and came out again with a group of subordinate officials and officials to surrender. Behind them, there was a long string of grain carts.

"General Wang, it's only been less than a month, why are you here again?" Puqi County Ling looked aggrieved.

"Why, are you happy to be a lackey of the Tartars? Seeing the imperial court officers and soldiers, weishenme didn't open the city early and surrender? Although Wang Kefan was reprimanding him, his tone was not harsh, and even ...... Even somewhat kind.

"The lower officials can't help themselves!"

The Puqi County Commander was even more aggrieved: "The lower official is in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, he has already prepared this month's money and food, and he has done everything possible to find an opportunity to dedicate it to my Ming official army." Who knew that the Tartars had sent a group of guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they dared to offend General Wang's tiger might......"

After the Loyal Battalion captured Jingzhou, the main battlefield of Huguang had been moved to the north of the Yangtze River, and Puqi, Xianning and other places became the tug-of-war zone between the Ming and Qing armies. The Qing army sent a force to occupy Puqi, which was completely wiped out by Wang Kefan who blew up the city wall. It's just that the army of Leke Dehun is in Wuchang Mansion, so he will fight and leave. Harassment is predominant. It also withdrew to the Yuezhou Mansion.

The new Qing army did not know what to do, and used earth and stone to plug the gap, and heard that the military demon law was powerful, and prepared many magic objects such as dog blood and dung, and moved the city god to the city head to suppress the demon law of the Ming army...... Unexpectedly, Hua Xiaoyue's Five Thunder Rectification Law came out. The city wall was blown into a big hole, and thousands of Qing soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and they scattered and fled the city, and the Puqi County Order had to surrender again.

"I am the general of the Ming Dynasty. You are the county commander of the Tartars, what do you call 'Xiaguan' in front of me? Wang Kefan scolded him and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, how much food have you prepared?" ”

"Four hundred and sixty stone of grain, seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, this ...... After piecing together many parties, this money and food were raised, and General Wang was not too little. "Puqi County Ling is a little weak-hearted.

"If I don't come, you're going to send it to the Tartars, aren't you?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, just deal with the Tartars......" Puqi County Ling looked loyal to the country, distinguished two sentences for himself, and said cautiously: "But these money and grain have been taken away by General Wang, and I can't explain it to the Tartars, and I also ask General Wang to send the Buddha to the west, and do me a small favor......

"What do you do?" Wang Kefan is angry and funny, if he doesn't kill you, he will be lenient, and he even dares to talk about conditions.

"Please General Wang make a big move, for my Ming Dynasty to recover Xianning and Jiayu counties, if you can subdue the Huangzhou Mansion, it would be better, and I am willing to do my best to raise food for General Wang and donate military salaries!" Puqi County ordered repeated surrenders to the Ming army and the Qing army, although he temporarily saved his life, but in case the Manchu master settled the account after the autumn, he would definitely be severely punished, so he wanted to pull a few more people into the water, the law did not blame the public, and there were tall people who fell from the sky.

"Don't think about Huangzhou Mansion, Xianning and Jiayu are about to go, you can prepare money and food."

Wang Kefan attacked Puqi, Xianning and other counties, firstly to train troops, and secondly to harass the Manchus. These counties were in the middle of the confrontation between the Ming and Qing armies, and most of the gentry in the county sympathized with the Southern Ming, but as the Ming army retreated, the Manchu control continued to strengthen, and they gradually fell to the enemy's side.

After defeating the Qing army in these counties and cutting off the taxes in these counties, the Manchu Liliang was a little weaker, and the Liliang of the Southern Ming Dynasty was a little stronger, supporting the loyal battalions that were fighting in Hubei from the side.

In addition to flanking support, his Hui cavalry had already gone to Hubei to directly participate in the battle against Luckedhun.

Wang Kefan and Li Guo privately reached an agreement to lend the Hui cavalry to the loyal battalion, and then found Du Yinxi together and asked him to send a transfer order to transfer the Hui cavalry Ti Zhaorong's headquarters to Jingzhou to support the Hubei battle. In this way, he is not afraid of outsiders picking faults, nor is he afraid of the instability of the army in the army, or any complaints and complaints.

While Dafang lent out the Hui cavalry, Wang Kefan was still vigorously expanding the Gongyi battalion of the lineage.

After more than a year of training and fighting, and after a series of victories, the peasant recruits at the beginning have all grown into veterans, and many of them are capable of serving as qualified grass-roots officers, and with the original 800 veterans as the skeleton, they can support a large army of several thousand people, and their combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed.

Expand!

Wang Kefan is now a staff general, and it is natural to expand the troops under him.

After a complicated exchange of official documents and bargaining, he finally asked for another 2,000 people, as well as the food and equipment of these 2,000 people, and then distributed them to Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong, Lu Renqing and Teng Shuanglin.

Wang Sheng was promoted to guerrilla general because of his outstanding merits, and Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong and others were also promoted, serving as the capital division and garrison respectively, plus the newly recruited auxiliaries, the scale of the Gongyi battalion exceeded 5,000 people.
