After Fu Guan went to Fujian, his family had already moved to Raozhou, and then managed to go to Huguang to reunite with Fu Shihua. With the news of the Qing army's invasion of Fujian, Fu Shihua's parents were afraid for a while, and if they continued to stay in Shaowu Mansion, I am afraid that the whole family would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

In the Battle of Fuhe, the Gongyi battalion captured a large number of weapons and armor, and after selecting some of them, most of them were left to the Fuzhou volunteers.

Thousands of knives and guns, thousands of armor, to the Fuzhou volunteers a lot of help, after Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan got these equipment, set up two battalions of people, after more than ten days of assault training in the Gongyi battalion, it looks like a bit of a regular army.

In this era, it is not a simple matter to build a base area behind enemy lines, after the Gongyi battalion leaves, the Fuzhou volunteers will face the brutal encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, and Wang Kefan can only help them so much.

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan are both famous and surnamed figures in the history books, without the help of the Gongyi battalion, they have also been in Jiangxi to resist the Qing Dynasty, until the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651) before they died one after another. With these weapons and equipment, and with nearly 100 wounded soldiers of the Gongyi Battalion as the backbone of the military, the combat effectiveness of the Fuzhou volunteers has been greatly improved, and they should be able to do a greater cause.

There is no need to doubt the bloodiness of Jiangxi Lao Biao, and there is no need to doubt the integrity of Jiezhongxi and Fu Dingquan, the big waves are sweeping the sand, the phoenix is nirvana, and from a group of rabble to a combatable soldier, it will definitely have to pay huge sacrifices and costs, as long as the Fuzhou volunteers can hold on to Jin Shenghuan anyway, they can usher in the next climax of the anti-Qing struggle.

Before breaking up, Jie Chongxi also gave Wang Kefan a small surprise.

"Gimbal, congratulations! Congratulations! This is an edict (letter of appointment) signed by Inspector Wan, conferring you the title of Deputy General of Ji'an Mansion! ”

Jie Chongxi wanted to leave the Gongyi battalion in Jiangxi, but he didn't have the bargaining chips he could get, so he had to ask Jiangxi Governor Wan Yuan Ji for help and seal Wang Kefan an empty lieutenant general. The territory given to him was Ji'an Province, which was still under the control of the Qing army.

In Jiezhongxi's mind, this is a win-win choice, Jiangxi has a strong army, which is greatly beneficial to the war situation, and the Gongyi battalion has a superior system, which can apply for food and salary from 10,000 yuanji, and Wang Kefan may be promoted and reused in the future.

"Thank you for your support!" Wang Kefan bowed and thanked him.

Before rescuing Emperor Longwu, he always called himself the general of the dragon and tiger to the outside world, and he would not play the banner of Huguang. will not play the banner of Jiangxi, but continue to borrow the banner of Fan Wenqin.

This lieutenant general title is useless for the time being, but it can be done in the future.

The two said goodbye and led their troops to set off, and the Fuzhou volunteers broke through to Raozhou in the northeast. Wang Kefan led the Gongyi battalion to the south by boat.

Most of the Fuzhou volunteers have been dispersed and transferred, and there are still six or seven thousand people under Jiezhongxi. With great fanfare, under the banner of the Gongyi Battalion. In order to attract the main force of the Qing army and cover the breakthrough of the Gongyi battalion. After the Gongyi battalion jumped out of the encirclement of the Qing army in time, it was able to transfer Jin Shenghuan back to Ji'an Mansion to deal with the safety of the Fuzhou volunteers.

This is a jihua that covers each other, there is a lot of risk, and it is not a foolproof solution.

The Qing army in the direction of Raozhou was weak. If the Fuzhou volunteers could not break through, they could rely on the landlord's advantage and retreat into the mountains to continue maneuvering, while the Gongyi battalion had to break through from the gaps in the main force of the Qing army. If you are entangled, you will be surrounded and threatened with annihilation.

There was still a month before the death of Longwu Diting Prefecture, and it was close to the sprint stage of Zuihou, and Wang Kefan had to take risks.

That night, the flotilla of the Gongyi battalion passed through the capital city of Fuzhou, ignoring the Qing troops in the city, and continued to travel in a big way.

The prefect of Fuzhou received a report from the sentry that a large number of Ming ships passed by outside the city, and he immediately went to the city wall to check it in person, and he could not see the flag on the ship clearly under the moonlight, but the number of ships was very large, and it was roughly estimated that it must be an army of tens of thousands of people.

He immediately sent a scout horse out of the city to follow and reconnoiter this Ming fleet.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jin Shenghuan received two pieces of information one after another, the contents of which were diametrically opposed.

According to the report of Fuzhou Prefecture, the main force of the Ming army in Dongxiang County went south by boat, and after passing Fuzhou Mansion, it turned into the Bashui tributary and went in the direction of Chongren County.

Another report said that the main force of the Ming army was fleeing in the direction of Raozhou, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Qing army had not yet closed and fled to the east of Poyang Lake.

Which piece of information is correct, Jin Shenghuan was a little hesitant......

……

After the news that the Gongyi battalion conquered Ji'an Mansion and entered Nanchang Mansion was transmitted back to Huguang, it caused a huge shock.

The civil and military officials of Huguang re-examined the past achievements of the Gongyi Battalion and found that the achievements of this unit were so impressive.

From the great destruction of the Songjiang water bandits, to the single-handedly defended Chongyang, and then to the complete annihilation of Borhui in Linxiang, in the Huguang official army, the combat effectiveness of the Gongyi battalion is so strong that no one can match it.

When the Gongyi battalion left Jiangxi, everyone thought that this army would be finished soon, but unexpectedly, in the encirclement and suppression of Jin Shenghuan's tens of thousands of troops, the Gongyi battalion was calm, fought successively, defeated the strong with the weak, turned Jiangxi upside down, and opened up a new situation!

Since the Qing army went south, except for the loyal revenue to recover Jingzhou Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, so many armies in the Southern Ming Dynasty have not fought a decent victory, and Wang Kefan's series of victories shocked the entire Huguang!

With such a strong force, Weishenme will be forced to Jiangxi, won't Huguang be able to accommodate them?

Doubts began to appear in the officialdom, although they did not dare to point the finger directly at He Tengjiao, but Zhang Kuang, Lu Ding and others were under tremendous pressure.

As various details of the past were revealed, everyone was surprised to find that Wang Kefan had been suffering from all kinds of exclusion since he was in the army, from Huang Shu to Zhang Kuang to Lu Ding, all of them made things difficult for the Gongyi Battalion, defaulted on food and wages, did not reward meritorious service, and even annexed the Gongyi Battalion.

However, Wang Kefan has always endured humiliation and burden, no matter what kind of unfair treatment he suffered, he could focus on the overall situation, until he was forced out of Yuezhou Mansion, and he did not turn his face with the friendly army, but gave up his territory and went to Jiangxi to find another way out!

If you don't have the strength, forbearance will be regarded as a weakness, but the strength of the Gongyi Battalion is so strong, but it can repeatedly tolerate friendly troops, which is a manifestation of open-mindedness.

It's so unfair!

Public opinion continues to ferment, Gongyi Battalion left Jiangxi, which has become the hottest topic in Huguang officialdom, Wang Kefan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, even in the remote mountainous areas of Xiangxi, those petty officials who are from eight grades to nine grades also know his name, know that he is a lonely and loyal minister, and he is also a good general.

Lonely and loyal!

As long as there is a sense of justice, who doesn't want to have such teammates? After understanding the truth of the matter, there were more and more people sympathizing with Wang Kefan, and Du Yinxi, Xu Bingzhong, Li Guo and others wrote one after another, asking He Tengjiao to recall the Gongyi camp and add a liliang to Huguang to resist the Qing Dynasty, and even Niu Zhongxiao and others also helped Wang Kefan speak.

He Tengjiao was very annoyed by this.

Gongyiying's departure from Jiangxi was a betrayal of Huguang officialdom and a blatant challenge to his authority, and if Wang Kefan was invited back, it would be tantamount to admitting that he had mishandled it and that his subordinates had been treated unfairly.

How is this possible?

The dignified He Junmen, the governor of the five provinces, went to admit his mistake to a small general, what prestige will he have in the future! How to be a leader! If this opening is opened, in the future, there will be people who pull the flag and go it alone, will they have to compromise with them?

That's a mess!

He Tengjiao made up his mind and refused to admit his mistake.

However, in order to calm the boiling public opinion, he issued a commendation order for Wang Kefan, appointing Wang Kefan as the deputy general of Nanchang Prefecture as the governor of the five provinces, and explaining to the outside world that the entry of the Gongyi battalion into Jiangxi was his order to support the Jiangxi Governor Wan Yuanji.

The Gongyi battalion has won several big victories in Jiangxi, and if he Tengjiao's temper in the past, he will definitely give Emperor Longwu a meritorious victory, but this time he pretended to be dumb. The reason is very simple, he has a ghost in his heart recently, and he doesn't dare to provoke Emperor Longwu.

Emperor Longwu had already issued several secret decrees, ordering Huguang to send troops to meet him, but He Tengjiao had always disobeyed him, because he was afraid that Emperor Longwu would leave Fujian, strengthen his control over Huguang and other places, and weaken the power in his hands.

He Tengjiao hoped that Emperor Longwu had better stick to Fujian, and if he couldn't do it, he could flee to Guangdong, anyway, he couldn't get Huguang to make trouble for himself.

After the Gongyi battalion entered Jiangxi, He Tengjiao had a faint worry, worried that Wang Kefan would go to meet Emperor Longwu, but quickly dispelled this ridiculous idea. Welcoming Emperor Longwu is the highest level of secret, Wang Kefan can't know it, and he is just a small general, his troops are limited, and Emperor Longwu will not give him a secret decree.

Carefully observing what the Gongyi Battalion was doing in Jiangxi, he was even more sure that Wang Kefan was just going there to find another way out, at most to rescue Ganzhou and take refuge in 10,000 yuan, and there was no indication that the Gongyi Battalion had any intention of entering Fujian.

Let's toss it in Jiangxi, just a few people will be wiped out by the Qing army sooner or later, and this matter will naturally pass......

……

Consistent with He Tengjiao's wishes, Jin Shenghuan also hopes to eliminate the Gongyi Battalion as soon as possible.

The Gongyi battalion flowed back and forth, and finally couldn't run, and rested for a long time in the Fuzhou area, Jin Shenghuan seized the opportunity and closed the iron wall.

Of course, the northeast direction has not been completely sealed, and the Gongyi battalion may flee to Raozhou at the Zuihou juncture.

However, even if the Gongyi battalion fled to Raozhou, Jin Shenghuan could continue the pursuit with a large army. Raozhou is Poyang Lake on the west side, the Yangtze River on the north side, and the Eight Banners of Dorobellebolo in the east, but Wang Kefan still can't escape from his palm.

This is the most effective way to deal with the rogues, constantly blocking and chasing, forcing the rogues to a death situation with narrow terrain, and then destroying them in one fell swoop.

In order to eliminate the Gongyi battalion, Jin Shenghuan mobilized a total of nearly 70,000 horses, which was already his limit. The offensive on the Ganzhou front was completely stopped, and the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 Qing troops and the Ming army formed a confrontation, and if they continued to draw troops, they would have to abandon the occupied county towns and strongholds, wasting their previous efforts.
