More than 1,000 words were sprinkled, and after reading a chapter, Tian Jianxiu and others praised each other.

They couldn't hear whether the writing was good or not, but after Wang Kefan's explanation, they all felt that this piece was justified and full of persuasiveness, which not only fully reflected the importance of the peasant army, but also pointed out the urgency of the current situation.

Wang Kefan smiled modestly and said a few words, and his heart was also full of ambition, this piece is his painstaking work, in addition to helping the peasant army, he also wants to take this opportunity to enter the field of vision of Emperor Longwu.

He has been crossing for more than a year, although he has played a piece of the world with his bare hands, but the speed of development is still too slow, and now it is only a small garrison, with less than 3,000 soldiers, and the land is only two counties, the pattern is too small, it is difficult to make a difference, and it is urgent to find a tough backstage in the imperial court.

The emperor is the hardest backstage in the world.

Of course, it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step with only one piece of music, at most, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he has to pay attention to it, and if he wants to get the emperor's trust and reuse, he has to wait for the right opportunity......

"Brothers, no matter how well this piece is written, the weight is still not enough, for the sake of the future of these 200,000 soldiers, you have to do two more things."

There is only so much Wang Kefan can help, since Tian Jianxiu and others have returned to the Ming Dynasty, they must also express themselves.

"Yes, tell me, what are the two things?" Tian Jianxiu expressed his understanding, and he still had to vote for Kou.

"First, return the Daming Jade Seal!" The jade seal in Wang Kefan's mouth is the jade seal of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng fell into the hands of the peasant army when he broke through Beijing, and later became the jade seal of the Dashun Dynasty.

"This, I have to discuss it with the Queen Mother." Tian Jianxiu groaned: "But her old man has always been reasonable, so it shouldn't be a big problem...... What's the second thing? ”

"Second, after returning to Shun, we must fight a battle with the Tartars as soon as possible, and take advantage of the emptiness of the Qing army to recover the lost territory in Hubei!"

Joining the Ming army is just a new beginning, whether it can be reused in the future, it depends on the performance of Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu and others, as the saying goes, if the new officer takes office three fires, if the peasant army can win a big victory, it can fully show the strength of the troops, and shut up all prejudices and suspicions.

Judging from the current situation in Huguang and even in the whole country, it is also very necessary to fight this battle.

After the Qing army entered the customs, it first spent more than half a year to clean up the Gyeonggi and Shandong regions, and at the same time made preparations and mobilizations while gaining a firm foothold, launched a large-scale offensive at the end of the 17th year of Chongzhen, and occupied Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Nanzhili, and parts of Jiangxi and Huguang in one fell swoop.

The current Qing army is in the stage of rest and consolidation, with the shaving order, the anti-Qing movement in the northern provinces is surging, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have appeared a large number of anti-Qing righteous divisions, the Manchu Qing is anxious to consolidate the rear, the front line is relatively weak, temporarily on the defensive.

(After Azig's victory, Duoduo also withdrew, and the Qing army did not have many troops stationed in Nanjing.) ）

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." The Ming army should take the initiative at this time and launch a full-scale counteroffensive along the Yangtze River, if all parties can coordinate with each other, it is likely to recover the lost territory in Jiangnan, even if it cannot be occupied for a long time, it will destroy the local war resources, and the rich Jiangnan cannot be allowed to provide food and salary for the Qing army.

But unfortunately, the Southern Ming Dynasty court Wen Tian Wu Huan, except for the King of Lu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang sent troops to Hangzhou, Zheng Zhilong and He Tengjiao, who had the most soldiers, did not move.

Zheng Zhilong is Zheng Chenggong's father, a great pirate who roams the East China Sea, and he can rely on the advantage of a sailor to go up the Yangtze River from the mouth of the sea and directly attack Nanjing. This trick is very powerful, more than ten years later, Zheng Chenggong did just that, and almost succeeded.

He Tengjiao appeased Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai with 100,000 horses, and incorporated several large and small warlords in Hunan, plus his own direct subordinate troops such as the Supervisory Battalion, with more than 200,000 troops under his command.

Due to the inaction of the Southern Ming, the Qing army could free up its hands and garrison Nanjing, Wuchang and other important towns with a small number of troops, and concentrate on Liliang to extinguish the anti-Qing struggle in various places. Taking Huguang as an example, the Qing army was the strongest in the Huangzhou army, Xu Yong, but he was making every effort to recruit the anti-Qing righteous divisions in the Dabie Mountains, and Wuchang, Jingzhou and Huangzhou were only garrisoned by a few thousand Qing troops.

If they were able to recover one or two state capitals, they would not only be able to consolidate their position in the Nanming regime, but also occupy a base area of their own, shatter the myth of the invincibility of the Qing army, and boost the morale of the anti-Qing struggle throughout the country.

This battle must be fought, there are conditions to fight, there is certainty to fight, it is imperative!

……

After the discussion, Wang Kefan said goodbye to everyone and prepared to go to Chengde Mansion to ask for the peasant army's life.

Yuan Zongdi sent him to the fork in the road and waved over to one of his personal soldiers.

"Brother Wang, do you remember the fifty stone grain under Chongyang City? I, Yuan Zongdi, owe you a personal favor, and now I owe more and more, and if I don't pay it back, I can't afford to pay it back! ”

"What are you talking about?" Wang Kefan jokingly said: "If you really don't want to go, give me a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Hey, I'm really a poor bastard now, and I can't take out a hundred taels of silver." Yuan Zongdi also joked: "That's it, I'll send you alone, let's clear the two of us!" ”

Take a big living person as a gift? Wang Kefan was a little uncomfortable.

"He is my personal soldier sentry, he has been by my side for seven or eight years, he is passable with equestrian bows and arrows, and he dare not say that he is a hundred when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, at least he is not weak against the white armor soldiers of the Tartars!" Yuan Zongdi said with a smile: "Let him follow you in the future, help you train the soldiers, hehe, your spear array can still be seen, but the bow and arrow equestrian skills are messy, what are the things......"

Wang Kefan was overjoyed, and didn't mind Yuan Zongdi's teasing, the soldiers under him were all ordinary peasants, and what was most lacking was military generals, especially those who fought and rolled on the battlefield, with high martial arts and rich experience in actual combat.

"What do you call this brother?" He didn't shirk at all.

"Brother what?" Yuan Zongdi interjected: "He is my adopted son, named Yuan Meng, since he has followed you, he will change his name to Wang Meng, and he will be your righteous son in the future!" ”

Righteous son? Wang Kefan looked at the tall young man in front of him, how could he be in his twenties, maybe a little older than himself, if he was asked to call him a father-in-law every day, he would have to die early.

"No, no, no! Let's still be brothers, so let's take a son on behalf of my mother, and Brother Wang Meng is my own brother. ”

The righteous son and father-in-law can not do it, but the name must be changed, from Yuan Meng to Wang Meng, which means that he is no longer Yuan Zongdi's person, and the object of allegiance has been changed to Wang Kefan.
