At the end of the 17th year, Wang Kefan defeated the water bandits, recovered the city, and then implemented the public security military management in Chongyang, set up the trial bureau to strengthen local control, and forcibly conscripted and donated military pay.This series of dazzling movements came down, and the people in it were like a drop of water in the waves, passively dumpling, too late to retaste what was going on, and everything had changed.

After the establishment of the trial bureau, Wang Kefan fulfilled the conditions of the promised chapter, Zhang Luodong pieced together seven or eight thousand horses, how to cover up this defeat, how to make He Tengtao to understand the confusion, it depends on his own ability.Only after the trial bureau behind the scenes, he has been face-to-face, and offended the local gentleman, in Chongyang a day can not stay, with the remnants of the army will return to Wuchangfu.

Wang Kefan to extercify the remnants of the Song River, continue to stay in Chongyang, Wuchang Province is now a gunpowder barrel, must not go to the turbid water, Dashun Army and the Qing army are about to go south, take advantage of this last time, to try to be prepared.

Under his insistence and promotion, Xu Bingzhong used his winter free time to collect young and strong people to continue to repair the city wall, re-excavate the moat, and strengthen the Chongyang city defense.The moat was dug deeper and wider, and the bottom of the river was prickly staked and thorny, which led to the river of the river, and had a real defensive function.

In addition, Wang Kefan is still hoarding a lot of food.

Song Jiang plundered the city, the sheep cave was defeated, all the property was seized by the Gongyi camp, and Wang Kefan obtained a stable source of funds from the merchant Jasheng, and had a lot of money on hand.He took out some of them to buy food everywhere, hoarding and storing them, and the others were handed over to Su Hanzhang and Yu Sanlang to the coast of Guangdong to buy a new batch of Western fire truns.

Although the camp is full of the water bandits, in fact, there are still many flaws, insufficient mobility, lack of military cooperation, single tactics, etc., which can only be improved step by step.Among them, strengthening long-distance firepower is the most urgent and imperative.

The artillery need not be considered for the time being, the bow and arrow are difficult to learn, and the soldiers in the Gongyi camp are farmers who have just put down their hoe, which is not suitable for them.Only the number of fire-dantmen can be increased to cover the slow-moving long-range soldiers.

But the fire cactus belongs to the high-precision weapon, the quality of the three-eye trunches is too poor, the real use is only the bird's wand, as well as the new Western fire rope gun, the cow Zhongxiao has not been able to receive the bird's wand, Wang Kefan had to go around a circle, high-priced purchase of smuggled Western fire.

In addition to Chongyang, Tongcheng is the second piece of territory in Wang Kefan, but here has just been washed by the water bandits, and put a fire, half of the county town has been burned into ruins, want to restore vitality, it will take some time.

Tongcheng local dental business Jia basically collapsed, Wang Kefan took the opportunity to introduce the "gold does not change" and "tongjiang comptoir", and the implementation of the fruit and silver donation system, the composition is easy to know the county, the various measures of the Gongyi camp are very cooperative.

Taking advantage of the New Year, Wang Kefan also went to Tongshan, according to the records of the history books to Tongshan Six Source Village, found the great name of the afterlife.This is a wood, even some ugly man, but no one can imagine that a generation of Xiong Xiong Li Zicheng will actually die under his hands.

Li Zicheng had already left Shaanxi at this time.

...

Wuchangfu dock, the banner is wading, and thousands of boats are waiting to be set.

“What about the left jade?Where is the left jade?Let him come to see me!”He was furious and groaned at the army that had escorted him.

The soldier said with a smiley face: "Oh, that's simple!Please take the boat on the stage, and when you get to Jiujiang, you can see my great-grand director."

He turned to the left and right of Nunu, and several soldiers took up He Tengzhao in front of him, forcibly dragged him to the boat, then raised the sail to unplug, and sailed away from the dock.

At the beginning of the first year of Hongguang (1645), Li Zicheng gave up Shaanxi, took out the merchant, entered Henan, and turned into the lake, leading 200,000 troops to the Wuchang Province.Zuo Liangyu did not dare to fight, led hundreds of thousands of troops to flee, under the guise of "Qingjun side" in Nanjing, and sailed down the Yangtze River.

Before leaving Wuchang Province, Zuo Liangyu soldiers burned and looted in the city, and forcibly abducted He Tengju, the governor of Huguang, and the snakes could not be without heads, and the army soldiers in the city immediately did bird and beast, and the emperor escaped from Wuchangfu.

From Wuchang Province to Yuezhou Province official road, there are fleeing people, officials and defeated officers and soldiers everywhere.Everyone is running south, Wuchang Province has been occupied by Li Zicheng, Hunan is still under the control of Nanming, and it is safe after Yuezhou Province.

All the ships of Wuchang Province were requisitioned by Zuo Liangyu, the Yangtze River waterway under the control of the Dashun Army, the fleeing people can only take the land route, out of Xianning, cross the Puxia, into the Chongyang border, from Wuchang Province has 300 miles, the fleeing people have breathed a little, the civil and military officials gathered together, gathered the rout, the grain to open the road, the fleeing army has a basic order.

These officials, led by Chongxian Xi, have just been promoted to the deputy envoy of Huguang to the Department of Inspection, the deputies to the administration, the three-pin court clerk, who has considerable prestige in the officialdom, and with him, as well as the Zhang Yan who has just returned to Wuchang Province, as well as Niu Zhongxiao, Fu Shangrui, Xianning County Order, Pude County Order and other civilian and military officials.

After the loss of Wuchangfu, officials from the subordinate counties and counties have fled for their lives, successively abandoning the two counties of Xianning and Puxia, on this road, there is no water and no food, fear, everyone has suffered, when Wang Kefan came to pick them up, some people even cried with joy, gladly finally picked up a life.

After the meal, Clog up the tin gathered the military officials.

"Gentlemen, you can't run south anymore, who wants to stay with me in Hubei and strengthen the enemy?"

Silence, no one answered, Li Zicheng Hehe, Zuo Liangyu 800,000 troops have run away, why should stay here to die?For half a day, only a few people stood out in a rare way, all of them were the confidants of the squirrel.

“Who wants to stay in the North with me?”He raised his voice, lamented, disappointed, and helpless.

"The old master (studying political common name), He Junmen has already made it clear that let us wait for him in Changsha Province..." He said Fu Shangrui, and He Teng's confidant, the right arm.

Wuchangfu Zuoliangyu suddenly launched a mutiny, He Tengzhao eyes to see things quickly out of the matter, in order to avoid being wrapped dumplings, ordered Fu Shangrui, Zhang Yan and other subordinates first fled to Changsha, and then managed to get away and everyone together.Changsha is located in the rear of Hunan, where the re-opening of the government, can avoid the sharp edge of Li Zicheng's army, much safer.

What's more, there are rumors that the Manchu General Azig followed Li Zicheng and has entered the territory of Hubei, but the world is invincible, the famous and famous Tartar soldiers, staying in Hubei is simply sent to death, and the civilian and military officials have spoken and Fu Shangrui, and persuaded to block Xianxi to go to Changsha.

“Cow, are you going to Changsha too?”The sound of blocking the tin is full of expectations, the loyal character of Niu Zhongxiao, the two people are also good, may stay in Hubei to help him.

"This . . . . what the army door has spoken, and will not dare to defy the order at last."Niu Zhongxiao bowed his head and did not dare to face the ardent eyes of Cong Xi, he had always been the only one who was looking forward to the head, although he was ashamed in his heart, he must also go to Changsha.

“All of you, go to Changsha, I must stay in Hubei...”

He sighed, his heart full of disappointment.In the time of danger, there is no loyal people to stand up, Hubei thousands of miles of land so handcuffed, the future situation do not know how to clean up.

People bowed their heads and did not dare to look at his eyes, He Tengzhao's order was just a guise, in the end, they were still greedy and afraid of death, and they felt that Changsha was safer.In this way, Wang Kefan in the back row was very conspicuous, and he looked calm, standing there calmly, and the others seemed out of place.

A movement in the heart of the twispy.

“Cloud, where are you going?”

“I’m not going anywhere, so I stay in Chongyang.”

Wang Kefan's voice had just dropped, and the people turned their heads to look at him together, surprised, repel, admiration, hostility, and various expressions.Although Chongyang is located at the southern end of Hubei Province, it is also a subordinate state county of Wuchang Province, if Li Zicheng is south, even Yuezhou capital is not safe, not to mention Chongyang a small county!

Even if you stay in Hubei, at least to withdraw to Yuezhou capital, Niu Zhongxiao and he good, is to open their mouths to persuade, Wang Kefan but a wave of hands, the attitude is very firm: "My subordinates are Chongyang children, will never throw down their father and fellow countrymen, their own escape, even if Li Zicheng led the army to come, I will also stay Chongyang, half a step!"

Cut the nails!

The atmosphere was somewhat loose, no longer a one-sided pessimism and disappointment, since someone took the lead and hesitated for a while, more than a dozen civilian and military officials stood up to support the blocking of Xixi to stay in Hubei.

Clog Xi finally showed a gratifying smile, and said, “Okay!I will stay with you in Chongyang and wait for Li Zicheng and Azig!”

Inside, the achievements of Sanjiang are not very good, and the support of book friends is urgently needed, and I sincerely ask for a collection!!
