Chapter 39: The Palm
The Gongyi battalion defeated the green battalion soldiers who went out of the city to meet the battle, and easily occupied Ji'an Mansion, but Yang Wulie and Xu Genyou abandoned the city and fled, and their whereabouts are unknown.
After taking Ji'an Mansion, the Gongyi battalion has a place to stay, it can be regarded as truly safe, Jin Shenghuan's main force was thrown three hundred miles away, and it is not easy for the army to move, and it will not be able to catch up in three or five days.
Taking this opportunity, the Gongyi battalion seized the time to rest and recuperate, and contacted Liu Shu and Fan Wenqin to collect military rations and materials for the troops, and prepare for the next Zuihou sprint.
Some time ago, the Qing army launched a brutal encirclement and suppression of the Ji'an volunteers, but fortunately, Liu Shu and Fan Wenqin were prepared and took the initiative to retreat into the Jinggangshan mountains, and the losses of the Ji'an volunteers were not large.
Liu Shu and Fan Wenqin also did not expect that in less than a month, the Gongyi battalion killed again, and the Ji'an volunteers took the opportunity to join forces with the Gongyi battalion to easily recover the Yongxin county town that had just been occupied by the Qing army, and connected the Jinggangshan area with Ji'an Mansion.
Another anti-clearing climax!
During the Qing army's occupation of Ji'an Province and Yongxin County, the local gentry and powerful all adopted a wait-and-see attitude, but there were also a few people who actively or passively cooperated with the Qing army.
When the Gongyi battalion first entered Jiangxi, it was necessary to kill people to establish its authority, but with one victory after another, the prestige of the Gongyi battalion had spread all over Jiangxi, and few people dared to cooperate with the Qing army to resist wherever the soldiers went, in this case, it was necessary to unite those gentry and landlords, so as not to force them to the side of the Qing army.
People will consider their own interests and safety, it is impossible to require everyone to be Wen Tianxiang, these gentry did not cooperate with the Manchus for a long time, and did not turn into hardcore traitors, if they are punished too harshly, when the Gongyi battalion fights the Qing army again. Similar gentry landlords would completely defect to the Manchus and help the Qing army resist desperately.
If we analyze this issue from a higher perspective, how to deal with the relationship with the gentry and landlords is the general policy concerning the fate of the country.
In the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, it has been vigorously publicized how the Eight Banners soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and it seems that the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty seized the world was the great military exploits, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty defeated itself by itself, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just a thief who stole the world.
The so-called invincibility of the Eight Banners in the world was blown out by the Manchus themselves. A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth, and even in modern times, there are still many people who believe that the Eight Banners are invincible, and it is natural for the Manchus to seize the world.
Wrong!
This is the boast of the Qing Dynasty, in order to cover up their improper origin of winning the country!
The total strength of the Eight Banners was only 100,000. After crossing the Yangtze River, it will not work, and it will not adapt to the terrain of the south. It is also not adapted to the hot climate of the south. It took more than ten years to occupy the whole of China by relying on the Green Camp and the Han armies such as Kong Youde and Wu Sangui.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty had a population of just over one million, and a very important reason why they were able to occupy the whole of China was that they were supported by the Han gentry and landlords!
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. He adopted a policy of gentleness towards the Han gentry and landlords, accepted the Han culture, and dressed himself up as a righteous teacher who hanged the people and killed the crime, compared with Li Zicheng, who was like locusts crossing the border when the army arrived. Dolgon's political vision was much more astute.
Because the Manchus defended the interests of the Han gentry and landlords, with their support, the Manchus had the financial and material resources to build a huge empire and eliminate all Han Chinese who dared to resist.
The gentry landlords were weak, but they had most of the social resources, the Ming Dynasty had no working class, and the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng also failed, and Wang Kefan had to cooperate with the gentry landlords to compete with the Manchus for their support if he wanted to defeat the Manchus.
This is the reason why Wang Kefan has always stayed in the Nanming system to develop......
After Fan Wenqin saw Wang Kefan, he urged the imperial court to make his official appointment to him, and put forward a new request, wanting Emperor Longwu to give him a civil official, not the general soldier of Ji'an.
This is really concerned, ready to work hard in Nanming, Wang Kefan of course welcomes it, and after reassuring him after reassuring him, this matter will definitely be implemented within two or three months.
Of course, it must be implemented, Fan Wenqin was single-handedly supported by him, and it will be of great use in the future.
Along with Fan Wenqin, there was also an envoy sent by He Tengjiao from Huguang, who brought the latest appointment to Wang Kefan and promoted him to the deputy general of Nanchang Mansion.
Wang Kefan insisted on refusing to give it.
Wan Yuan Ji also gave him a deputy general of Ji'an Mansion, Wang Kefan has no deep relationship with Jiangxi officialdom, and has little impact on King Qin's rescue of the driver...... But his relationship with Huguang is too deep, and He Tengjiao is the best at grabbing credit, so it's too late to clear up the relationship, how can he accept this appointment.
"General Wang, the so-called 'the king has a life, don't drive', when the country is extraordinary, why do you have to shirk more......" The messenger persuaded hard, the monarch summoned, Confucius went without waiting for the carriage and horses to be ready, the leader gave you a new appointment, quickly accept it, don't take it anymore.
"Shangguan is serious, the last general is not a Confucian saint, and He Junmen's order is not the life of today's saint." Wang Kefan pushed back.
"What do you mean by that? He Junmen is the governor of the five provinces, and his words and deeds are in line with Qin's order...... "The messenger is a little annoyed, He Tengjiao is a feudal official, which represents Emperor Longwu and the imperial court."
"If Shangguan doesn't believe it, please go back to Changsha Mansion and find Yang Shouming and Lu Taiping, and you will know as soon as you ask."
"Yang Shouming? Road Taiping? Who are they? ”
The messenger was stunned, Wang Kefan smiled, and did not explain much.
Yang Shouming and Lu Taiping, who were sent to Huguang by Emperor Longwu, urged He Tengjiao to send troops to meet them, but they were kept under house arrest by He Tengjiao......
The messenger who sent He Tengjiao away, and the messenger of Wan Yuan Ji followed again.
The Qing army on the front line of Ganzhou was constantly transferred, and the pressure on Wanji became lighter and lighter, and he heard that the Gongyi battalion had conquered Ji'an Mansion again, and he also saw the turn of the war, so he sent an envoy to contact Wang Kefan, to fight with the Gongyi battalion inside and outside, and relieve the siege of Ganzhou.
The people in the predicament are more practical, this envoy is much more polite than the envoy of Huguang, and he is much more flexible, he brought a handwritten letter of 10,000 yuanji, promising that as long as the siege of Ganzhou is lifted, Wang Kefan can be promoted as the general army of Ji'an and occupy the territory of western Jiangxi.
Wang Kefan readily agreed.
To relieve the siege of Ganzhou, it was originally within his Jihua, and if he wanted to go to Tingzhou to rescue Emperor Longwu, he would pass near Ganzhou, which could not only fight the Qing army, but also cover his true intentions, killing two birds with one stone.
He promised the messenger that the Gongyi battalion would send troops within three days to attack the rear of the Qing army in Ganzhou. But at the same time, he reminded the other party that he could not expect too much from the Gongyi battalion, and that if he wanted to completely relieve the siege of Ganzhou and even counterattack the central part of Jiangxi, he needed to wait for follow-up reinforcements......
Fierce troops, mobilized before the war, and the Gongyi battalion prepared to go out again.
The morale of the officers and men of the whole battalion was very high, and they had been fighting in Jiangxi for more than two months, and it was finally time to reap the fruits.
He Tengjiao's envoy went around Ji'an Mansion, and after the soldiers of the Gongyi Battalion heard the news, many of them felt homesick. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, everyone still has families in Huguang, and it is of course the best to return to their hometowns!
If you want to be promoted to the next level as an official, and if you want to earn more rewards as a soldier, they are all for the sake of going home for the scenery, seeing their wives and children, and kowtowing to their mothers.
Teng Shuanglin, Lu Renqing and others think further, in their opinion, if they can successfully rescue Ganzhou, it is also a good choice to stay in Jiangxi for development.
The Gongyi battalion has been fighting in Jiangxi for two months, and it has opened up the situation, leaving a fire in most of Jiangxi, as long as there is a good wind, it will immediately be a prairie fire. This is an opportunity to show off our strengths, and if we can recover the central part of Jiangxi and establish a foundation in the areas of Ji'an and Fuzhou, the future is limitless.
Ti Zhaorong's cavalry troops also had this idea, their hometown was in Shaanxi and Gansu, and there was little difference between staying in Jiangxi and Huguang, and the war in Jiangxi was going well, and they didn't want to go back to Huguang to suffer splint anger......
The parties are confused, the bystanders are clear, and there is one person who thinks more and more deeply than them.
Seal Hime!
Zhu Ji had been observing the Gongyi Battalion, speculating about Wang Kefan's next intentions, and it was not until Wang Kefan gave her the destination of the next batch of supplies that she suddenly realized something.
"General Wang, are you going to Fujian?"
"Well, what do you mean?" Wang Kefan looked puzzled.
"It's still pretending! If you want to go to Ruijin, why don't you go to Fujian by the way! She looked at the oblique upwards with her eyes provocative, looking thoughtful, analyzing the benefits of going to Fujian: "When the emperor is employing people today, the Manchu Tartars are about to invade Fujian, and you take the elite soldiers to rescue Fuzhou, this credit for saving the driver from the dragon is amazing......
It turned out that she guessed blindly, and Wang Kefan was relieved.
Ruijin, close to Tingzhou, Fujian, is the next destination of the Gongyi Battalion, in order to deliver supplies in time, Wang Kefan could only tell Zhu Ji in advance, but he didn't expect this girl to be too smart to guess her approximate jihua.
If you don't tell lies in front of Ming people, it's useless to lie and deny them.
"Hehe, I have this plan, this matter must be kept secret, you know!"
According to the time calculation, Emperor Longwu should have been on the road, even if the real news leaked, outsiders could not figure out the specific details, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation, but for the sake of prudence, he still repeatedly instructed Zhu Ji.
"Don't worry, of course I know the severity!" Zhu Ji glanced at Wang Kefan and teased: "This is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and the concubine still wants to be the first official and businessman of the Ming Dynasty, and she has been relying on General Wang for the rest of her life...... Oops, slap mouth! ”
She suddenly realized that this sentence was inappropriate, it was too ambiguous, her face immediately turned red, she raised her hand and slapped her palm, and after two gentle strokes, she couldn't hold back another burst of laughter, the laughter was crisp, and her eyes were charming.
