"The news of Governor Xu's Mansion also arrived yesterday, which is good!" Wang Huan threw another piece of pickled radish into his mouth, chewed it with juice in his mouth, and hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of juice and said: "He Tengjiao sent the newly recruited old general Hao Shaoqi as a general, leading a large number of warships from the Yangtze River into Kuimen, trying to occupy our Shizhu silver mine and gold mine, but he didn't know that Mr. Chen Qiyu Chen was sitting in Kuimen, hit the iron plate headlong, damaged countless warships, drowned thousands of soldiers and horses, and returned to Changsha in disgrace. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all excited and rejoicing, and laughter rang out in the wooden house.

Zu Bian jumped up happily and shouted: "Grandma's bear, He Tengjiao, this old man can't beat the tartar, but he can't stab himself in the back, this time it's good, it hurts his heart!" Governor Xu and Mr. Chen should beat the water dog, chase directly to the old nest in Changsha, and take the old man He's treasury, so that he can steal chickens and rice! ”

Everyone laughed again, Li Tingyu shook his head and said: "He Tengjiao is a first-class officer, and no matter whether we can fight Changsha or not, even if we can go, we can't fight, and if we fight Changsha, it is equivalent to a clear rebellion, and the Kuizhou army is fledgling, so it can't be made." ”

Zu Bian was not convinced, and said: "Can he only beat us, and we can't beat him?" What kind of truth is this? ”

Wang Huan threw a steamed bun to Zu Bian, blocked his mouth, looked at Li Tingyu again, and said with a smile: "General Li is right, our current situation is somewhat similar to the situation that Emperor Taizu faced when he started the incident. ”

"In the early days of Taizu's uprising, his strength was weak, and Meng Yuan only needed a little effort to destroy him, but fortunately, Taizu's territory was surrounded by friendly troops of the Red Turban Army system, although there were constant disputes with each other, small frictions every day, and it was common for people to die and hurt people, but it was always an anti-Yuan rebel army, with a common enemy, and would not fight to the death, so Taizu could safely survive that difficult period of development and achieve the great cause later." The room was quiet, everyone stopped eating, and listened intently to Wang Huan's words, Wang Huan spoke eloquently, reasoning: "Therefore, although He Tengjiao has a narrow vision and forgets his righteousness, he is always a Ming courtier, with him in Huguang, the Tartars must destroy him first if they want to come from behind us, so if He Tengjiao is there, we don't have to set up heavy defenses, we can free up our strength to concentrate in Guanzhong and concentrate on dealing with Meng Qiaofang, so to speak, everyone, should we still fight to Changsha?" ”

Wen Yan Li'er, the people in the room nodded their heads one after another, thinking that Wang Huan was reasonable.

Zu Bian was the first to speak, and he said in a loud voice: "You can't fight!" As the adults said, Old Man He is a meat shield, and if we beat him, it is equivalent to helping the Tartars, and we can't do this kind of thing that harms others and ourselves! ”

"Not only can I not fight, I think that at the right time, Wang Yingxiong will come forward, and he can give him some silver money to resolve this grievance, of course, it can't be free, He Tengjiao must exchange weapons and ordnance, he occupies the Changsha Treasury, and this kind of thing will not be less."

Wang Huan knocked on the table with his knuckles and said slowly: "Even if we can't seem to be afraid, we have to let He Tengjiao accept it, this thing is not easy to do." ”

The generals stopped nodding, and felt that this matter was very difficult to do, and frowned.

Li Tingyu blinked, smiled slyly, and said to Wang Huan: "Why bother, my lord, leave this matter to Governor Wang Yingxiong, this person is sophisticated and sleek, and he has been in the sea for a long time, so he naturally knows what to do." ”

"Okay, let Governor Wang go to the brains, he takes our money for nothing, and he has to do something." Wang Huan said with a smile: "We will draft the recital today and report the victory to the imperial court!" ”

Hanzhong's twists and turns were quickly written, which described in detail how Wang Huan's Kuizhou army dealt with the Qing army, how to fight with Zhang Xianzhong, and finally recovered the entire Sichuan along with Longxi, and rescued the people of the two provinces from the dire situation, and stated that now Sichuan is newly attached, Longxi is unstable, and Wang Huan, the general soldier of Kuizhou, must continue to defend to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking.

"My lord, such a great achievement, the imperial court must award a position of chief soldier with a genuine seal, so as to be worthy of this great merit!"

"Where to say! In addition to the official position, the adult should be made an earl, the four major towns in Jiangbei, which one is not the marquis? Have they ever killed so many Tartars? ”

"What earl, in my opinion, at least it should be a marquis, if it weren't for the adults who were too young, maybe the duke would be able to fight for it!"

When the scribe was writing the recital, a group of military generals sat in the hall and bragged and chatted, and somehow talked about what kind of reward Wang Huan would be awarded, which immediately caused a controversy, and the martial artists blushed and competed with each other.

Wang Huan was okay, he watched the scribe's writing attentively, and pointed out a few sentences from time to time, when the words of the generals were farting.

Li Tingyu couldn't do it, and after listening for a while, he stood up impatiently and shouted, "What's the crater? Do you think you are the Son of Heaven? Is the reward of the court so important? But don't forget, the Kuizhou Army has today, but there is no matter of a penny from the imperial court, the official title of the imperial court is just a fart, useless, and in the end, it doesn't depend on who is faster with the knife in our hands! ”

Everyone roared at him, but they didn't dare to keep silent, because what Li Tingyu said was the truth.

At this moment, the Southern Ming Dynasty has been stormy, a little stronger wind can blow out this residual candle flame, starting from the Longwu Emperor of Fuzhou, in just over a year, there have been two emperors of Longwu Emperor and Shaowu Emperor martyrdom, as the capital of Fuzhou and Guangzhou, also successively broken by the Qing army, a large number of Ming troops were scattered and defeated, Guiwang Zhu Youlang ascended the throne in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, known as the Yongli Emperor.

What is ridiculous is that when Zhu Youlang was called emperor, Emperor Shaowu in Guangzhou had not been destroyed, and the two of them had found time to fight a civil war when the Qing soldiers had chased them to the doorstep, and Emperor Yongli's army was ambushed by Emperor Shaowu, and they were defeated and fled to Guangxi.

Later, Emperor Shaowu was killed by the Qing army Li Chengdong in Guangzhou a month later, Emperor Yongli was afraid to death in Guangxi, fled from Guilin, Guangxi overnight, entered Wugang, Huguang, and defected to Liu Chengyin, in order to accommodate himself, Emperor Yongli did not hesitate to throw out a hat of An Guogong to Liu Chengyin, Liu Chengyin was overjoyed, patting his chest to ensure the safety of Zhu Youlang.

At this time, the Qing generals Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren were in Jiangxi anyway, erected anti-flags, and Li Chengdong's troops, who were pursued by the Qing army, were forced to return to quell the rebellion, and the fragile ****** of the Southern Ming Dynasty finally ushered in a glimmer of life.

Then Emperor Yongli at this time was in Huguang, relatively close to Sichuan, and the roads were relatively smooth, all under the control of the Ming army.

The hall was quiet, and the scribe also wrote an ink-drenched memorabilia at this moment, raised the paper with both hands, and handed it to Wang Huan quite complacently, Wang Huan raised his eyes to review it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Carefully drying the ink, Wang Huanfu returned the paper to the scribe and put it on, he turned around, looked at the generals in the hall with a serious face, and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have not let you leave for a long time, and I want you to wait until the recital is written, because I have something important to announce." Wang Huan said word by word, and slowly spit out the words: "I will personally send this twist and turn to Wugang!" ”
