Jinggang Mountain belongs to the Luoxiao Mountains, located at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, not far from Hengyang, Zhuzhou and other important towns in Hunan, to the provincial capital Changsha is two hundred kilometers away, to establish a base here, even if the Qing army occupies Hunan, the Gongyi battalion can also be assured and bold to fight with it, interspersed back and forth.

Although the Dian Qi battalion had fled, it had left behind a lot of baggage, and the Gongyi battalion had also seized a lot of weapons, from knives, guns, bows and arrows to tent vehicles, all kinds of supplies were readily available, enough to support the Ji'an volunteers in the Jinggangshan mountains, and even build a small town, if there was anything urgently needed, they could also provide support through Li Si.

Wang Kefan carefully instructed Liu Shu that before the return of the Gongyi battalion, the Ji'an volunteers must be prepared for a long-term struggle to face the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army alone, and through a few months to a year, Jinggangshan will be operated into a base for tens of thousands of troops.

Combined with the experience of later generations, he put forward several important suggestions, such as reducing rents and interest rates, uniting the gentry and the powerful at the same time, gaining the support of the poor mountain people, and carrying out guerrilla warfare in the ravines if the Qing army entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

After everything was explained, Wang Kefan told Liu Shu that before leaving, the Gongyi battalion would pull out the nails of the Qing army in Ji'an Mansion to ensure that the Ji'an volunteers could be transferred in time.

"You want to fight Ji'an?" Liu Shu was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, Ji'an Mansion must be beaten." Wang Kefan's attitude was very resolute.

Ji'an Mansion is stuck at the gate of Yongxin County, blocking the road to the east of Gongyi Battalion, continue to stay here, not to mention King Qin's rescue, even his own safety is a problem.

In the past few days, Hao Shaoqi's station, which was stationed nearby, has made frequent movements, except for Jin Shenghuan, who is heading south. There was also a hostile and vigilant attitude towards the Gongyi battalion. Wang Kefan estimated that this was likely to be at the behest of He Tengjiao, and if the Gongyi battalion turned around and retreated to Huguang, Hao Shaoqi would be stabbed in the back.

He and Hao Shaoqi once met each other, and although they reconciled later, there was always a bit of mustard between each other, and more importantly, after Hao Shaoqi and the Dashun army parted ways, they had completely taken refuge in He Tengjiao, and Wang Jincai was left and right. It was the second general of He Junmen, Wang Kefan had to guard against it.

Hao Shaoqi's subordinates have more than 30,000 horses, and they are also a fierce opponent of the Gongyi battalion.

He Tengjiao's meaning is very clear. The Gongyi battalion tossed casually in Jiangxi, but was not allowed to go back to Huguang to make trouble for him. In particular, there is no territory of Gongyi Camp in Hunan.

The retreat was blocked by Hao Shaoqi. Jin Shenghuan was mobilizing troops and pressing towards the Gongyi battalion.

Two days ago, Jin Shenghuan sent an envoy to grant Wang Kefan the post of general of the green battalion in the name of Hong Chengchou in Nanjing, and to guard the Ji'an Mansion, and his subordinates formed a battalion of their own. Compare with other Ming generals who surrendered. The price he offered was decent, not too high, not too low, and the taste of temptation was heavier. There is not much sincerity.

Delaying the army!

At the same time as recruiting An, he transferred men and horses from the Ganzhou front line and other places, gathered an army of 40,000 or 50,000 green battalions, and was approaching Yongxin County from several directions.

This kind of large-scale encirclement and suppression is very complicated, requiring the tacit cooperation of several troops, and if there is a gap in the encirclement, the previous efforts will be abandoned, so Jin Shenghuan's pace of progress is very slow, and he constantly sets up strong camps on the road, divides the troops to guard, and wants to complete his work in one battle, completely eliminate the Gongyi battalion, or drive out of Jiangxi.

What is beneficial to Wang Kefan is that Hao Shaoqi's troops are stationed in Yuanzhou Mansion, which is equivalent to an additional barrier, and after Jin Shenghuan arrived there, the two armies faced off and fought, and Zuo Liangyu's elite was equal to the rest of the Dashun army, and the winner was not yet distinguished.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Kefan wants to jump out of the encirclement and enter the hinterland of Jiangxi!

Ji'an Mansion is an important town in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River, as long as Ji'an Mansion is conquered, you can calmly cross the Ganjiang River and break Jin Shenghuan's encirclement and suppression. After conquering Ji'an Mansion, he could also cut off the supply line of the Qing army attacking Ganzhou, completely hurt Jin Shenghuan, was in a hurry, and was at a loss for what to do, and mobilized more troops to encircle and suppress the Gongyi battalion, flashing out the interspersed vacancy......

But for the Gongyi battalion, the attack on Ji'an Mansion is a new test!

There are more than 3,000 green battalion defenders in Ji'an Prefecture, and the main general is Gao Jinku, who was also born in the peasant army in his early years, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is similar to that of Hao Shaoqi and Ma Jinzhong.

After the "actual combat exercise" of the Dian Qi battalion, the field combat capability of the Gongyi battalion has been tested, whether it is rushing to kill and transferring, or the cooperation of the troops, it has shown a very tacit understanding, if it can lure Gao into the warehouse and go out of the city for field battles, with the 7,000 men of the Gongyi battalion against his 3,000 men, Wang Kefan has the confidence to defeat him in one fell swoop.

But the problem is, what if Gao Jinku didn't fight with the Gongyi camp, he retreated in the city of Ji'an and couldn't defend it?

Fucheng is not a county seat, even if one or two sections of the city wall are blown up, the defenders' defense line will not collapse immediately, and the more than 3,000 green battalion defenders in Ji'an City will bring a big question mark to the Gongyi battalion in the street battle, and even whether there will be an unexpected recurrence...... The main force of the Qing army is coming, and there is not much time, and this battle must be resolved cleanly, and there must not be too many casualties.

"If you want to fight Ji'an Mansion, I will go too!"

Liu Shu found a strong reason for herself: "We are all locals of Ji'an, even if we can't fight, we can help do something else!" ”

This sentence touched Wang Kefan, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the volunteers of Ji'an Mansion can't fight, but they can help lead the way and contact the local gentry and people......

"Okay, you send two hundred people from the volunteers and go to Ji'an Mansion together."

200 people went to Ji'an Province, and the other volunteers moved to Jinggangshan to prevent the ensuing encirclement and retaliation of the Qing army......

The Gongyi battalion left Yongxin County at noon on the same day and marched to Ji'an Mansion.

This is the latest version of the text, still using the name of Fan Wenqin, in addition to the title of Zhenwubo, Fan Wenqin has another position of the chief military officer of Ji'an and other places, according to popular saying, it is the general soldier of Ji'an.

Wang Kefan was just an ordinary general, and his appeal among the gentry and common people was insufficient, and in order to expand his influence, Fan Wenqin was given more and more official positions, and after Fan Wenqin came to this point, his attitude also changed, and he actively cooperated with Wang Kefan.

He is now the leader of Jiangxi's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, even if he takes the initiative to surrender to the Manchu Qing, nine times out of ten he will be executed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to deter the surging anti-Qing righteous teachers in Jiangxi, so Fan Wenqin had no choice but to cooperate with Wang Kefan, and put forward two requirements: First, send his family from Ningzhou to Huguang, preferably to Changsha Mansion or Changde Mansion, to ensure their safety. Second, immediately sent people to Fujian and asked Emperor Longwu to officially confer on him the title of Zhenwubo and appoint him as the general soldier of Ji'an.

The first thing is very simple, just let Xiong Lichun send his family to Tongcheng, and Xu Bingzhong will arrange it later, and the second thing is a bit complicated, and it will even cause unexpected effects, Wang Kefan verbally agreed, but did not send anyone to Fujian.

The time has not yet come, Wang Kefan does not want to have any contact with Emperor Longwu.

Fan Wenqin stayed in Yongxin County and moved to Jinggangshan with the volunteers, but the Gongyi battalion went to Ji'an Mansion under his banner to kill.

With the spread of the anti-Qing text, the volunteers from all over Jiangxi received the news, Daming Town Wubo Fan Wenqin sent 150,000 troops, from Ji'an Mansion to attack Jiangxi, to conquer Nanchang Mansion, rescue Ganzhou Mansion, attack Jiujiang Mansion, and then along the Yangtze River straight downstream, attack Nanjing, change the Ming banner, change the name of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, pay tribute to the mausoleum, spread Shandong, the north and south of the Great River, and the Central Plains of Shanxi, will hear the wind and respond......

"Our Gongyi Battalion is a group of people, known as an army of 150,000, isn't it too much?" Wang Sheng was a little incomprehensible.

"If you change to another person, and also claim to be an army of 150,000, how much do you think his real strength is?" Wang Kefan asked rhetorically.

"There should be 70,000 or 80,000, at least 5......0,000," Wang Sheng realized.

"yes, that's what you want!" Wang Kefan smiled.

There are more than 7,000 people in the Gongyi Battalion, even if it is doubled, and the claim of 15,000 people has no deterrent effect, and the gentry and common people still dare not participate in the anti-Qing struggle after reading this document. If they simply claim to be an army of 150,000 and take out the momentum of seizing the whole of Jiangxi, the volunteers from all over the country will respond one after another, and the Manchu officials who do not know the situation will also be frightened and dare not resist the Gongyi battalion.

The bluff was helpful for the Gongyi battalion to move to Jiangxi.

In the high-level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they would not believe that the Gongyi battalion had 150,000 troops, Jin Shenghuan was a general in the army, and Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in Nanjing, was even more capable of commanders, and the information they had was more reliable, and they also had a better understanding of the reality of the Gongyi battalion, so they would not be able to transfer troops into Jiangxi and affect Wang Kefan's rescue of Jihua in Longwu.
