Tong Yanghe ignored Luck Dehun's dissuasion, fell to the ground, and repeatedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty.

Although he was the governor of Huguang, he was in charge of not only one province of Huguang, but the so-called "military gate of the eight provinces of the governor", these eight provinces even included Yunnan, Guizhou and Liangguang, most of which were under the control of Nanming, and Tong Yanghe's main task was to appease these areas.

After the fall of the Hongguang Imperial Court, Dolgon thought that the world could be determined, and sent Hong Chengchou to appease the southeast region, and sent Tong Yang and the southwest region, but Tong Yanghe operated in Wuchang Mansion for more than half a year, not to mention eight provinces, not even eight counties, because the task was not completed, so he had to ask the master for guilt.

"The old slave has tried his best, but he has not built an inch so far, it is really a blessing to the saints......" Tong Yanghe's heart was also very aggrieved, if it weren't for the Qing court's strict implementation of the shaving order, his recruitment work would definitely be much smoother.

"Why should my uncle blame himself, Nangou are all cheap bones, if you don't hurt them hard, you won't be honest." Luckedhun forced him up, and was relieved again and again. Although he is young, he represents the emperor and the royal family, and he is the supreme commander of the Qing army in Jiangnan, so it is enough to have this attitude.

The two sat down to talk, discussing the military situation, and Luck Dehun said: "I heard that He Tengjiao jumped over the Yangtze River and was a hard-headed scholar, but I didn't expect that he had a good courage and vision, and dared to lead his troops to counterattack Wuchang and come to pick up the tiger whiskers of my Qing Dynasty...... But please rest assured, Uncle and Grandpa will send troops to Changsha two days later and raid his nest! ”

"Wrong, wrong! He Tengjiao is a corrupt Confucian book beetle, there is nothing to worry about, the real disaster is Li Guo! ”

Tong Yanghe gave a detailed introduction to the military situation in Huguang: "Li Guonai has become a remnant of his own evil, with more than 100,000 thieves under his command, and his troops are very prosperous. The conflict between Jing, Xiang, Chen, and Chang is not shallow......"

……

Before Wang Kefan evacuated Puqi. I'm also thinking about my next move.

He had thought that the Qing army would send reinforcements, but Luck came so quickly. It was still beyond his expectations.

The Yangtze River, the Yangtze River waterway is too important!

It only took about twenty days for Lucketthun to swim upstream, a speed that would have been unimaginable if it had been a land march. In the battle south of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River waterway is a major artery, and whoever controls the Yangtze River waterway will have the initiative and can mobilize troops at will. Mobile combat.

The Ming army went north out of Yuezhou in order to capture Jiayu and Xianning, control the Yangtze River waterway, and cover the flank of the loyal battalion.

What should the Gongyi Camp do next?

If you go to Dali, you should go north out of Jiayu County, or even cross the Yangtze River, and completely cut off the connection between Wuchang Mansion and Jingzhou Prefecture. But with the two or three thousand men and horses of the Gongyi battalion, this is undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car.

The second thing to retreat is to retreat and approach the Yuezhou Mansion and cut off the Yangtze River waterway in the Linxiang area. Then, Chenglingji has become the key place for the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Chenglingji is located in Linxiang County. If you want to defend Chenglingji, you must defend Linxiang.

The situation is already clear. The Gongyi battalion is going to fight a battle to defend Linxiang!

Not much, as long as the Qing army was held in Linxiang for ten to twenty days. Li Guo's loyal battalion can conquer Jingzhou, and whether it is to go east to Wuchang Mansion or north to Xiangyang Mansion in the next step, Luck Dehun can only deal with it passively.

Although Linxiang is small, it is related to the entire Huguang war situation, and it is also related to the fate of Gongyi Battalion itself.

If Li Guo's loyal battalion was defeated by the Qing army, the Qing army would take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Chongyang, who had advanced in a position, would bear the brunt of the attack, and it would definitely be difficult to protect itself...... Lu Ding, Ma Jinzhong, and Wang Jincai can all run, but Wang Kefan can't escape.

And he doesn't want to run away!

After Wang Kefan crossed, since he chose the road of resisting the Qing Dynasty, he knew that the road ahead was full of hardships and dangers, and he had long been ready to fight with the Qing army.

Although the enemy is much stronger, the Gongyi battalion may not be without opportunities. According to the records in the history books, when the Duoduo division returned to the dynasty, most of the main forces were taken away, and in addition to the Eight Banners, there were other Green Battalion Han troops with poor combat effectiveness.

However, even if the Qing army is dragged on the land route, the attack of the Qing army's naval division must be released...... Wang Kefan remembered Hei Yunchang, the commander of Yuezhou's sailors. This guy is unreliable, if he surrenders, Chenglingji will fall into the hands of the Qing army, even if the Gongyi battalion tries its best to hold Linxiang, it is useless.

Although Ma Jinzhong was reminded in advance, Ma Jinzhong may not be able to listen to such a sentence inexplicably, his descendants and cronies can't play the water master, and nine times out of ten they will reuse Hei Yunchang...... So, how to keep an eye on Hei Yunchang's movements?

It's a pity that he doesn't have a water army, and the water nature of the black fish is not bad, but he definitely can't rely on him alone......

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the black fish walked in.

"Song Jiang said that he would offer treasure in exchange for the life of his family."

Offering treasure? Sounds good, check it out.

Wang Kefan followed Heiyu out of the Chinese military tent and came to a field outside the barracks, which was the execution ground for the Qing army prisoners, with a corpse lying on the ground, and a bloody smell in the air.

"General Wang, General Wang spares his life!"

Song Jiang had his hands tied behind his back, and when he saw Wang Kefan, he desperately threw himself forward to the ground, begging for mercy again and again with his head.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now, did you think of this day when you surrendered to the Tartars?"

"The villain knows that he is guilty, but I have saved some gold and silver property over the years, and I have hidden it in the old camp of Dongting Lake, if I give it up, can I spare my family's life?"

"At this point, do you still have a chance to bargain?" Wang Kefan first knocked him coldly, and then suddenly changed his words: "The crime is not to sit together, you take out those belongings, I promise not to hurt your family." ”

"Okay, okay!" Song Jiang nodded, gasped for a moment, and said unwillingly: "But the villain doesn't want to die, he will be a general's dog in the future, please spare General Wang's life!" ”

Wang Kefan ignored him and asked, "How much gold and silver do you hide?" ”

"There are a lot, at least a few thousand taels of silver!"

"Are you familiar with the Chenglingji area? Have you ever dealt with Hei Yunchang? "Wang Kefan is thinking about how to deal with Hei Yunchang, this Song Jiang was born in Dongting Lake water bandits, and he may be able to use it.

"Cooked, all cooked! The villain was also a good man back then, and he had a great name on Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. He also fought with Hei Yunchang......" Song Jiang suddenly stopped, not daring to say any more.

"And then?" Wang Kefan urged.

"Later, he was defeated, the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits, and it was justified, and the black general still had two hits," Song Jiang said: "But I paid a filial piety to a sum of silver, and I got into a relationship with the black general, and never paid attention to me in the future." ”

"I'm going to deal with that Hei Yunchang, do you dare to go?"

"Dare!"

"Okay, I'll let you go back and send all the gold and silver as soon as possible, and then you stay in Chenglingji, give me the sailor who keeps an eye on Hei Yunchang, and notify me as soon as possible no matter what happens."

As soon as Wang Kefan's words fell, Song Jiang agreed one after another, and swore loyalty to various gambling curses.

Wang Kefan smiled faintly: "I heard that you have a happy event recently, you have a middle-aged child, and you have just been full moon, right?" ”

Song Jiang's face changed, and he replied: "Yes, yes, the little fart kid's family, I don't understand anything." ”

"Ben will marry a new wife, it's very boring to stay alone in Chongyang, let your wife and children be her companions, okay?" Wang Kefan's tone was like a homely conversation.

"Okay, okay."

Song Jiang also has a lively brain, knowing that this matter is unstoppable, and agrees very happily: "I will definitely teach the mother-in-law at home a lesson and serve the lady well!" ”

Since he left a hostage, he was not afraid that Song Jiang would dare to make a mistake, Wang Kefan called Heiyu aside and gave him a few words, ordering him to return to Linxiang with Song Jiang and act at the opportunity......

Early the next morning, Wang Kefan wore a gold-lacquered mountain armor, carried a Wuzi treasure knife cross-legged, a good horse from the Western Regions in his crotch, and a short-handled firearm inserted in his waist, led the Gongyi battalion to set up camp, left Puqi, and returned to Chongyang.

……

In Xiangyin, three hundred miles south, He Tengjiao came together in the morning and was busy writing a recital for Emperor Longwu.

When Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, He Tengjiao wrote a letter, saying that he worked hard in Huguang to train the regiment, and finally made a meritorious contribution to killing Li Chuang in ......one fell swoop, and Emperor Longwu also crowned him as Dingxingbo.

This time, the loyal battalion counterattacked Jingzhou, and it was about to succeed, He Tengjiao was worried that this great achievement would be obtained by the "thieves", so he wrote a good report on the recovery of Jingzhou as soon as possible, and listed the credit for his strategizing.

"Ashan, what do you think of my writing?"

"Very proper." Zhang Kuang nodded in praise, and reminded: "However, Jingzhou has not yet been conquered at this time, if there is a recurrence, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to send this chapter......

"Hey, a tiger with 200,000 thieves, it's not easy to beat a Jingzhou Mansion? There will be no repetition. He Tengjiao said with a smile: "Working with thieves is no different from seeking skin with tigers, you must be careful everywhere, lest these thieves get the holy favor, and it will be difficult to suppress them in the future......"

"Military Gate Takami!" Zhang Kuang bowed and saluted, and said yes.

After sending someone to send the piece away, He Tengjiao smiled proudly again.

"The new is the old man of Tengjiao Nanyang, the combination of fish and water, my generation is also fate......" He said to Zhang Kuang and other subordinate officials: "We are waiting for the king's luck, and we should report the king's grace, and we must not let the young people blind the saint!" ”

He served as the magistrate of Nanyang County in his early years, and Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu was still the king of Tang at that time, and his fief was in Nanyang, so there is a saying that the old man of Nanyang said.

He Tengjiao showed off that he and Emperor Longwu are old acquaintances, old relationships, and the relationship is still very iron, you follow me to get a good opportunity...... Everyone will follow me to do a good job in the future, and whoever dares to go against us will kill him!

Just then, a messenger rushed in.

"Report! The Manchu Pingnan general Le Ke Dehun, led an army of 50,000 to aid Huguang, and has arrived at Wuchang Mansion! ”

The room suddenly became unusually quiet, and no one spoke.

With a "snap", the wolf in He Tengjiao's hand fell to the ground, and the ink splashed him. (To be continued......)
