Chapter Seventy-Seven: Unfairness
Zheng Chenggong, formerly known as Zheng Sen, Emperor Longwu gave the country the surname Zhu and gave the name Chenggong, so it is also called Zhu Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong in history, until the ninth year of Yongli was named the king of Yanping, before that, because the Yongli court and the king of Lu Zhu Yihai divided a large number of titles such as princes and earls, Zheng Chenggong looked down on the title of this kind of rotten street, and always claimed to give surnames and recruit generals to show his unique status.
Wang Kefan also called him so, just what he liked, and slapped a little sycophant.
The reason why I am a sycophant is because I ask for help.
There are still eight months before Jiang Jiu's defeat, and if you pin your hopes on friendly forces and get through these eight months, when Dolgon frees up his hand, the situation will fall into passivity again, so a more active strategy must be adopted.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is the unbreakable truth, you have to get by, sooner or later it is a dead end, although the Chu army has been fighting continuously and is very tired, but it still has to take the initiative to fight.
Wang Kefan's chosen target for attack was Nanjing.
On the battlefield of the whole country, whether it is to attack Wuchang or Jiujiang, or to ask Sun Kewang to send troops to Hanzhong, it is a partial gain and loss, and it is impossible to form an effective containment of Dolgon, and it is impossible to support Jiang Jiu in Shanxi.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the Cao Yun is cut off, there will soon be a food shortage in Beijing, and the Eight Banners soldiers who have become professional soldiers will not be able to receive hardcore crops, and if the Banner people and the Eight Banners soldiers do not have food, of course they will have to rob the Han people of rations. Under the vicious circle, there will also be food and salary shortages in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan, and if there is another stronger green camp warlord who raises the flag and rebels. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's "10,000-year-old unstoppable business" would be ruined.
Tan Tai was a defeated general of the Chu army, and Jiangnan Province did not have any extra mobile troops, because the main force of the Qing army was gathered in Shanxi, now was the best time to attack Nanjing, and the only disadvantage was that there was no water division.
Although the Chu army does not have a water division, Zheng Chenggong does!
From the mouth of the Yangtze River to Nanjing. The distance of about six or seven hundred miles is not an obstacle at all for Zheng Chenggong, who is a well-trained sailor. If you can get the support of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu. With enough food supplies to replenish Zhoushan Island, Zheng Chenggong's fleet could even go around Jiangxi.
Riding Zheng Chenggong's warship and making a big fuss in Nanjing, this plan sounds crazy. The stakes are also significant. But if it is realized, it will definitely catch the Qing army off guard.
Wang Kefan thought about it repeatedly, and decided to take a risk, either to transfer Dolgon out of Shanxi, or to completely smash the Manchu money bag and rice warehouse!
This requires Zheng Chenggong's full cooperation, whether he will agree or not, Wang Kefan has no idea in his heart.
In real history, Zheng Chenggong nested in Gulangyu and trained as a soldier for several years. and both soft and hard, annexing Zheng Cai and other maritime forces. has gradually become the maritime hegemon in Fujian, and now Zheng Chenggong's strength is not strong, and he is still in his infancy, so he may not be willing to take such a big risk to support the Chu army.
Zhu Yihai is even more unreliable, he and Emperor Longwu are in a competitive relationship, both of them want to be emperors, they almost met with swords and soldiers back then, counting on him to cooperate with the actions of the Chu army, it is better to count on the Yangtze River to suddenly flood and sink all the warships of the Qing army.
Although there is little hope of success, Wang Kefan still has to give it a try, maybe there is only a one percent chance, but if he gives up directly, he will not even have this one percent chance.
This letter was written very hard, in addition to patting on the back, if you want to impress Zheng Chenggong, you have to come up with some real money, Wang Kefan made a promise in the letter, as long as Zheng Chenggong is willing to send troops, all the food and salary will be provided by the Chu army. In other words, Zheng Chenggong is a temporary cameo as a mercenary, and he will not let him run empty.
However, Wang Kefan knew that Zheng Chenggong almost monopolized Fujian's maritime trade business, and it was difficult to impress him with only a little money and grain, so he spent a lot of space in the letter, carefully analyzed the shape, and repeatedly analyzed it, hoping that this national hero could focus on the overall situation and send sailors to cooperate with the Chu army.
After the letter was written, Wang Kefan felt that the weight was still not enough, and then wrote a chapter to Emperor Longwu, detailing his plan, hoping that he could personally come forward to persuade Zheng Chenggong, and even say hello to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.
At this time, the off-the-books soldiers suddenly reported that Quan Xi asked to see him.
In the past six months, the Chu army has developed the fastest, one is the water division, and the other is the intelligence bureau. In order to meet the needs of the war, Quan Xi's intelligence bureau adopted a military establishment and continuously transferred qualified personnel from various battalions, which has reached a scale of more than 700 people, and its ability to collect intelligence is very strong.
Divine power vast intelligence bureau!
It only took two days for the Intelligence Bureau to basically find out what happened that night, Li Chengdong won several battles in a row, broke through the blockade line of the Jiangxi army, and not only retreated with his own body, but also took Zhao Daorong away.
In the battle that night, Wan Yuanji's command obviously made mistakes, and the appearance of the Jiangxi army was also full of loopholes, of course, this qiē can be interpreted as a gap in strength, Wang Kefan originally had nothing to say, the key is that the Gan army actually lied about its exploits, and killed the people of a village, looked at their heads, and pretended to be the head of the Qing army!
"What a guts! The Gan army dared to kill Liang and take the risk, was this instructed by Wan Yuanji? Wang Kefan was furious, slapped his palm on the table, the inkstone overturned, and the half-written piece was also stained with ink.
"I can't say for sure."
Quan Xi's tone is always so calm and objective, without any ups and downs in tone: "But when it was almost dawn that night, the Jiangxi army had conducted a large-scale search nearby, which should be looking for the rout of the Qing army, but in the end it didn't find a few, so it turned to killing the people. ”
"Whether he knows it or not, it's hard to blame!" A trace of coldness flashed in Wang Kefan's eyes: "You go!" This matter must be investigated, and it must be investigated into an ironclad case, I want to take the Gan army and clean up the military discipline! ”
"Whoa!"
Quan Xi responded. But he didn't mean to quit the door, and continued with an expressionless face: "There is one more thing, Tan Xiao, the camp official of Yuezhou. There was a leak in this operation......"
Wang Sheng's detour to Mufu Mountain was a military secret that Wang Kefan repeatedly emphasized, and only an officer of Tan Xiao's level knew about it, but he sued Dong Qiaoxuan and Tan Chang, and was discovered by the Intelligence Bureau.
Hearing that Tan Xiao leaked secrets, Wang Kefan was not angry, but sat there silently. Didn't speak for a long time.
Disappointed, he felt very disappointed!
Leaking secrets is a very bad behavior. Perhaps just a careless word will cause irreparable losses, thousands of soldiers shed blood in vain, but inexplicably lost the war. If the Qing military knew Wang Sheng's movements first. The more than 20,000 Chu troops who made a detour to Mufu Mountain were likely to be wiped out.
In ancient and modern times, no matter which army, no matter which army, it is strictly forbidden to touch, once discovered, it must be severely punished, the more senior generals, the stricter the requirements, because these high-ranking generals know the core secrets, once leaked, there will be endless trouble.
Words for another person. Wang Kefan may immediately give an order to take him to the Chinese military tent for interrogation. Punishment according to military law may result in removal from office and investigation. However, it was Tan Xiao who leaked the secret, Tan Xiao who had just made a miraculous achievement, and Tan Xiao, the commander of the Yuezhou battalion, and Wang Kefan didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
In silence, he suddenly asked thoughtlessly: "Who else is in Song Jindou's family?" ”
Song Jindou was an ordinary auxiliary soldier who was beheaded and executed because of an accident. Such an insignificant soldier should not be in Quan Xi's field of vision, but he seems to have been prepared for a long time and answered as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Song Jindou is not married, and there is still a father, a brother, and two sisters left in the family."
"How old is his brother?"
"Twenty-two years old, working as a farmer at home."
"Are the two younger sisters married?"
"Not yet, but the big one seems to have already been married."
"That's right, okay." Wang Kefan sighed softly and said: "You send someone to his house, no, you go in person to see if there is anything you can help, if his brother is willing to be a soldier, just accept it for me, if you want to be an errand, just find him an errand in the yamen." His two sisters are the same, if they are willing to come to Chu Jun, they will go to the hospital to be a nurse. ”
"Whoa!" Quan Xi responded, bowed, and turned to go out.
The mood was completely ruined, but things still had to be done, Wang Kefan was silent for a moment, put the defaced piece in front of him, and took another piece of paper to transcribe.
This kind of thing could have been handed over to the staff to do, but Wang Kefan's mind was messing up at this moment, and he could calm down when he transcribed the music.
After brushing a little bit, half of the piece was quickly transcribed, Wang Kefan calmed his mind, scrutinized the sentences, wrote all the pieces, then put down the pen, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and wrote a handwritten letter to Fu Guan.
This is a little trick of Wang Kefan, to forget about his troubles with the work he puts in, but this trick seems to be out of order today. When he was busy with all his work, he couldn't help but think of Song Jindou and the head that was hung on the flagpole.
"Wronged! I died unjustly! Wang Junmen is unfair! Although Song Jindou only had one head left, he kept yelling at Wang Kefan.
is also a violation of military law, Tan Xiao has made more mistakes than him, how to deal with it? What are the consequences of disposing of it?
As for Wan Yuan Ji and Gan Jun, it is no longer a matter of violating military law, no matter how they are excused, they are 10,000 times more damned than Song Jindou!
However, Wan Yuanji's identity is still there, and although Wang Kefan has Shang Fangjian, he can't really kill him. As for the Gan army involved in this matter, there are as many as 10,000 people, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and they can't cut off their heads.
Suddenly, Wang Kefan felt extremely tired and missed Fu Shihua, Li Runniang and Zhu Ji very much.
……
(It's been a long time since I've chatted with you, so let's talk about five dollars here.)
The protagonist's army is still a feudal army, and if you want to go to the next level, you have to transform into a modern army, and then you can become a sword in the protagonist's hand, defeat the Manchus, and completely transform the country.
This process was not achieved overnight, and even surpassed the conditions of the times at that time, the difficulty was not ordinary, and it was likely to be boring to write.
Regarding the plot of Song Jindou, many book friends have criticized, and I would like to accept it with an open heart and sincerely apologize for the physical and mental harm suffered by the book friends. The protagonist is a typical pragmatist, with a bottom line, but not strong in principle, always choosing the strategy that is most beneficial to himself, of course, the execution of Song Jindou may not be clever, I'll go back and think about it.
But it should be emphasized that the author needs a coherent train of thought to write a book, and swaying left and right will make it into four dislikes, please be tolerant, I will not modify this plot for the time being, I will finish writing it first, thank you!
I also want to explain about the update.,One day is the bottom line of writing a book.,But Bandu has been too busy lately.,Sometimes there will be arrears.,But it's always going to be made up for desperately.,For example, today's three watches.,It's just to make up for this week's arrears.。 Speaking of which, the starting point of the reward plan is indeed a tight mantra, and if I don't make up the debt, I will lose my own wallet.
By the way, ask for a ticket, November has ended, December is about to begin, and I hope there will be a little more monthly passes next month.
It may not be difficult to defeat the enemy, but it is the true hero to defeat the self!
Finally, I would like to use this sentence to encourage all my book friends, of course, the main thing is to motivate myself, I must write this book carefully, and I can't live up to the support and trust of all book friends.
Thank you! Thanks again! (To be continued......)
