Chapter Ninety-Two: Inserting the Ridge Pass

There are not enough successes and more failures, and the Donglin Party has always been like this.

Lu Daqi does not have enough strength and ability, but he learns to carry out a coup d'état, which is a typical act of death, and it doesn't matter if he dies alone, but now the matter is so big, and all the forces in the court are involved, leaving a mess that is difficult to clean up, which makes Wang Kefan very headache.

There is no doubt that in the face of this naked provocation, the Chuxun Group must make a counterattack, but how to grasp the proportions in this and what kind of counterattack to go still needs to be carefully considered.

The easiest way is, of course, to beat the water dogs and carry out a thorough purge of the Donglin Party, but in this way, the balance of the situation will be completely broken, and it may not be beneficial to the Chuxun clique.

Although the Chu Xun group has developed rapidly in recent years, it is not enough after all, it is far from the point where it can control a country, and it does not have enough strength to start a war with other political forces at the same time.

After losing the support of the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan, the Donglin Party has become a rootless party, and sooner or later it is a dead chicken, the difference is only in early or late death, and there is not much danger in keeping them for a few more days.

The threat from Emperor Longwu's side was even greater.

After several years of painstaking management, Emperor Longwu is no longer the puppet emperor who was at the mercy of others, from the eunuch in the inner court to the Jinyi guard. As for some civil and military officials, he already has a set of his own team, that is, the "imperial party" loyal to the imperial power. Compared with the Southern Party, the Donglin Party, and the Chuxun Group. The strength of the imperial party is obviously one or two heavyweights, but because of the emperor's support, the future development potential cannot be underestimated.

If the Donglin Party is brought down, but the Imperial Party is replaced, the expansion speed of the imperial power will be out of control, and there will soon be fierce contradictions with the Chu Xun group, and even turn against each other. Part company with.

Wang Kefan has led the Chu Xun Group and the Chu Army to this point, and there is no turning back, and there are some issues of principle. It is also impossible to compromise, and in the end he can only break with Emperor Longwu.

But this is the result of losing both, the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast!

If we apply the theory of protracted warfare. The anti-Qing struggle has just entered a phase of stalemate. The two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties will be tug-of-war with each other for a long time, competing for endurance and national strength. Wang Kefan needs a stable rear, just like the Battle of Nanchang just past, to provide a steady stream of logistical supplies for the Chu army, if there is a fire in the backyard, his family will fight you to the death first, but it will make the Manchu fishermen profit.

In order to maintain the "anti-Qing united front," it is necessary to fill the hole that Lu Daqi poked. Find a new balance in the court!

After the general policy is decided, there is a direction for efforts. Although the matter is still very tricky, after Wang Kefan discussed with Cheng Wen and others, he quickly came up with a plan to deal with it......

The straight-line distance from Nanchang to Guilin is about more than 800 kilometers, and there is no plane in this year, and the road is a casual turn, that is, 1,000 kilometers upward, when Wang Kefan left Ningzhou, the messenger of the victory has just crossed the heavy Dà mountain between Hunan and Jiangxi, and entered the territory of Hunan.

After Liuyang, Zhuzhou, and then to Hengyang and Lingling, the messenger of the victory was not far from the border of Guangxi, but at this time, there was a fast horse of the Chu army chasing after him, conveying Wang Kefan's order, so that they could temporarily stop in Lingling.

After the victory in the Battle of Nanchang, Wang Kefan, Jin Shenghuan, and Wan Yuan Ji all wrote a report of victory, and sent people to Guilin together, and the envoys of the three families traveled together, and they got along well along the way, and the Chu army suddenly did not let everyone go, and the envoys of the two families immediately made a fuss.

It's all in vain. Lingling is the territory of the Chu army, there is no need to turn the face with you at all, as long as you don't pass the pass, you will definitely not be able to go, the envoys are inexplicable, they waited in Lingling for a full five days, and finally waited for the second batch of messengers to report the victory.

The specs have changed!

The first batch of envoys who reported the victory were just ordinary generals, but the second batch of envoys reported the victory was a regular envoy group, the civil officials were headed by Fan Wenqin, who participated in the politics of Jiangxi and Zhenwu Bo, and the military generals Liu Shu, the general of Ji'an, were all members of the third rank or above, in addition to the subordinates of the attachés, there were 1,500 elite armor soldiers as escorts, and carried a large number of prisoners and captured materials.

is also a success, this specification has been improved not by one level or two, but by treating it as a political task, and making the momentum as big as possible!

Although the coup d'état planned by Lü Daqi was aborted, it was an open challenge to Emperor Longwu and the Chu Xun group, and a crazy counterattack to Longwu's new policy.

Reservoir dogs are a must-fight!

At most, in order to protect the ecological balance, it is not to fight to the death.

Wang Kefan didn't plan to uproot the Donglin Party, but he couldn't just forget it, even if he killed the chicken to show the monkey, he had to make them pay the price they deserved.

Because there were too many people and carrying a large number of captured materials, the speed of this envoy group could not be fast, and they walked for another three days, and before they entered the border of Guangxi, they met the Jinyi guard sent by Ma Jixiang.

Although Fan Wenqin is a dignified member of the three grades, he did not put on any srest, he was very polite to these lowly Jinyiwei, not only personally set up a banquet to entertain, but also talked and laughed at the banquet, moved out of the friendship between Wang Kefan and Ma Jixiang, and became a family with Jinyiwei in a few words.

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu led by him was still sober, holding his wine glass and refusing to drink again.

"The lowly post still has an errand on him, and he can't drink it anymore, and I also ask the clan to hand over the concerts of several military gates to the lowly post, and I will rush back to Guilin early tomorrow morning."

The political envoy is commonly known as the feudal platform, and the political envoy is only the deputy of the political envoy, and this Jinyi Wei Qianhu calls Fan Wenqin the feudal platform, which is a very common act of nickname in the officialdom.

"Good! Bring the big glass! ”

Fan Wenqin commanded, and his subordinates hurriedly brought a few large wine glasses, all of which had a capacity of about half a catty, not so much a cup as a bowl: "There are three military concerts in total, every time you drink a glass, I will give you a copy!" ”

Fight!

The brocade-clothed guard Qianhu gritted his teeth, picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his throat, then shook his body twice, and suddenly fell down, and slipped under the table.

……

Although the specifications of this envoy group are not low, they are only responsible for hitting the front station, and there is such a big thing in the imperial court, Wang Kefan will definitely go back to Guilin, but before going back, there are still many things that need to be arranged.

This incident in Guilin once again shows that the fortress is always breached from the inside, which strengthens Wang Kefan's determination to reorganize the army.

In addition, after Chu Jun controlled the entire Hunan, it has been in operation for half a year, just like a new car that has just passed the run-in period, it must be maintained for the first time in order to eliminate potential hidden dangers in time and travel lightly in the future.

Before going to Guilin, Wang Kefan was going to conduct a thorough inspection of the Chu army's territory.

The territory of the Chu army spanned the two provinces of Hu, Guangzhou, and Jiangxi, with Ningzhou in the northeast corner and Guilin in the southwest.

The first stop is Yuanzhou Mansion.

On the map, the shape of Jiangxi Province is like a face facing west of the head profile portrait, the top of the head is Jiujiang Mansion, the back of the head is Guangxin Mansion (now Shangrao, Jiangxi), the temple is Nanchang Mansion, the center and mouth are Ji'an Mansion, the chin is Nan'an Mansion (now Nankang, Jiangxi), and the neck is Ganzhou Mansion .......

Yuanzhou Mansion is located in the central and western part of Jiangxi, following the trend of Mufu Mountain and Luoxiao Mountain, inserting into the Hunan boundary to the west, so it looks like a protruding nose. This was Jin Shenghuan's territory earlier, and Pingxiang County, which is adjacent to eastern Hunan, was occupied by Hao Shaoqi, and now Hao Shaoqi has gone to Sichuan, and Pingxiang County is occupied by Liu Shu's subordinates.

Fucheng Yichun is located in the east of Yuanzhou Mansion, there are thousands of people and horses stationed in Jin Shenghuan, in the Battle of Nanchang and the Qing army fought two battles, more than half of the troops were killed and wounded, they could only stay in Yichun City, and Liu Shu did not care about grabbing territory, now everyone has become a family, and the status quo is maintained peacefully.

Although Liu Shu's subordinates were local troops, they also belonged to the Chu army system, and after they occupied Pingxiang County, they not only connected the two base areas of Mufu Mountain and Jinggang Mountain, but also added a road to Hunan.

Because Yuanzhou Mansion is located between Mufu Mountain and Luoxiao Mountain, this road passes between the two mountains, which is relatively easy to walk, and the transportation capacity has increased several times, so it is very important to the Chu army. The grain and food materials transported from Hunan could be sent to Mufu Mountain and Jinggang Mountain, or they could be sent to Yichun to board ships, enter the Ganjiang River through the Guò Yuan River and Yichun River, and be directly sent to the front line of Nanchang and Jiujiang.

Fighting a war is to fight logistics, not only to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, but more importantly, to be able to deliver them to the hands of front-line soldiers in a timely manner, the Chu army has mastered this choke point, and the territory of Hunan and Jiangxi has become an organic whole, and if the next step is to launch an attack on Jiujiang or Nanjing, it is inseparable from the support of this line of communication.

After inspection, Wang Kefan ordered the transfer of a regular army of 1,000 Chu troops to garrison the Zhuling Pass east of Pingxiang County to strengthen the defense here.

The heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of defending people is indispensable, and the local troops who only rely on Liu Shu are definitely not safe, and sending the Chu army to defend the Zhuling Pass is equivalent to adding an iron gate latch to Hunan, and no matter if there is a conflict with Wan Yuan Ji or Jin Shenghuan in the future, there is no need to worry about being copied by them.
