Wang Kefan's war tax and field tax are linked, and the burden of farmers and sharecrops is not too heavy, and the real trouble is that those who sit on a thousand acres of good fields, as well as the famous sage.Wang Kefan clearly announced that when the national disaster is at the head, everyone is obliged to pay war taxes, whether it is show talent, people or commutators, they are taxed according to their own fields, no longer enjoy tax-free preferential treatment, and once the decree is issued, it has aroused a strong backlash from Jiangnan Gentlemen.

Then they were brutally repressed by Wang Kefan.

Copying the army is a standard treatment, the more it is more and more powerful, the more you make people's money empty, Wang Kefan's image in Jiangnan Shilin overnight into a greasy traitor, but in any case, this money is still received in full.

In addition to having money and fighting, Wang Kefan used the time of these months to vigorously expand the army, Chu's original auxiliary soldiers turned into soldiers in large numbers, and recruited and recruited a large number of strong recruits in several provinces in Gangnam Province to supplement the heavy troops.

Chu's auxiliary soldiers are trained in accordance with the standards of the soldiers, using the weapons and equipment seized in previous wars, and successively trained more than 30,000 new troops and sent them to the Huguang front.At the same time, the Chu army for the first time in the civilian recruitment of strong dings, the first is ten dings, and then developed into a five-dip pumping one, coupled with voluntary recruitment, a total of more than 100,000 young and strong auxiliary soldiers, after several months of basic training, has also been assigned to various forces.

Food, ammunition, weapons, medicine, livestock, vehicles, boats, tents, military uniforms, footwear, and even oil and salt vinegar... all kinds of materials were sent to the lake front line, Wang Sheng's strength is getting stronger and stronger, while Sun is expected to carry out mushroom warfare, and at the same time prepare for the general attack.

Sun is expected to know nothing about this, only put his hope on Liu Wenxiu, waiting for him to win the return of the division, and then Wang Shengjian, but at this time, Guizhou suddenly sent news, Guiyang's battle ended in the fiasco of the Western army, Liu Wenxiu soldiers lost, 150,000 troops disappeared, Wang Shangli, Lu Mingchen, Bao Shengting and others were killed or killed, or captured.

Sun is expected to be cut by lightning, I can't believe this amazing news, when returning to the barracks, even fell off the horse, suffered a little injury, as a veteran of the sand field, Sun is expected to walk when he can even sleep on horseback, but now he fell off the horse in public, all because the consequences of Liu Wenxiu's defeat are too serious, so that the spirit is trance, God is not possessed.

“This must be a misinterpretation, a misnomer!Liu Wenxiu will not die so easily!”

Sun is expected to hold the luck, hope that this war report is false, at least Liu Wenxiu is still alive, but also can preside over the big picture of Yungui, leading the Western Army to hold Yunnan, but Feng Shuangli soon sent a more detailed war report, which also Zhou Guodong coffin autopsy details, after confirming that the news is correct, Sun is expected to lock himself in the house, no one saw one night.

The next morning, Sun is expected to finally open the door out of the house, and said to the frightened and unsettled people: "Our army has been defeated, send orders to all departments, ready to withdraw."

The crowd will have long thought that this would be the result, all of them are silent, but they heard Sun expected to hate and say: "Liu Wenxiu fainted and incompetent, cut off 150,000 troops, cut off my career, you think how to punish?"

The crowd was shocked and persuaded together, and Sun was expected to dispel the idea of pulling Liu Wenxiu out of the whip, but he still ordered a new war report, and approved Liu Wenxiu in the war report, the responsibility for defeat was laid on him, and the people will be more and more cold, and they will be more and more cold, and they will be scattered, and at the same time, they will send people to Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxing and other Western armies.

Although Liu Wenxiu took away 35,000 A soldiers, but Li Dingguo sent a support army, coupled with a large number of auxiliary soldiers and heavy troops, the Western Army in Hunan has hundreds of thousands of troops, and guarded various state capitals, suddenly decided to withdraw, certainly not a walk on the trip, before there is a lot of preparation to do.

But Chu Jun was already tightly clung up, and he couldn’t walk.

Wang Sheng almost and Sun are expected to receive the battle report of Guiyang Dajie at the same time, followed by the discovery of the Western army departments frequent, obviously ready to slip, immediately ordered the Chu army to launch a counterattack, close to the Western army, do not let them slip away easily, at the same time sent Lu Renqing and Teng Shuanglin two elite main force, to the west army deep and bold interpolation, attack Yiyang and Anhua.Wang Sheng also gave two death orders to them, and must capture the two counties of Yiyang and Anhua within five days, cut off Sun's expected retreat, otherwise he would be demoted as a brigade commander.

How can I?

The same is Chu Jun's old eight battalions, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have been the commander, Lu Renqing and Teng Shuanglin if deposed as brigade commander, after almost no face to see people, they two simply set up a military order, if you can not complete the task on time, not the brigade commander as a small soldier, and then lead the army from Yuezhou and Changsha between the western army defense line, to the west of the attack of two hundred miles, to Yiyang and Anhua launched an onslaught (Yiyang, near the south of the city.But in this era, it also belongs to the suburbs of Changsha, and the future belongs to Yiyang City).

At this time, the Western army punished the soldiers, the defects of the defense everywhere were exposed, Lu Renqing and Teng Shuanglin have penetrated into the hinterland of the Western Army, the Western Army did not have enough strength to exterminate or drive them away, in the three major cities nearby, Changsha was stared at by the main force of Wang Sheng, dare not move lightly, Yuezhou from the nearest to the Jiujiang River, this time has been in the fierce battle with Jinsheng Huan and other parts of the fierce battle, there is no super force to rescue Yiyang, Changde is in the back.Renqing and Teng Shuanglin offensive, their own is still difficult to protect, but do not dare to easily send troops to save, by Lu Renqing and Teng Shuanglin long drive straight into, such as into no one's land, only three days to seize Yiyang and Anhua.

At the same time, Wang Sheng led the Chu army to attack Xiangxiang and Xiangtan, because the surrounding small strongholds have been swept away by the Chu army, so the two lonely county towns have not persisted for too long, was easily conquered by the Chu army, so that Changsha and Hengyang's western army completely separated, in the words of Wang Sheng, he is now a shoulder picker, one of Changsha, one of Changsha.

Zhang Jiayu and other ministries launched a counter-offensive on the southern front, starting from Liyang, successively occupying Changning, Qiyang and other counties, threatening the Fucheng Lingling of Yongzhou Province, and dividing the western army and Hengyang in southern Hunan.

Chu army counter-offensive so fierce, again beyond the expectations of Sun expected, he and Wang Sheng fought for more than half a year, each other has known the bottom, Li Dingguo's reinforcements rushed to Hunan, the Western army has been able to compete with the Chu army, but Wang Sheng where so many troops, even in several directions at the same time launched a counter-offensive, the hundreds of thousands of Western troops completed the tactical division!

It took several days, with the continuous summary of intelligence everywhere, Sun is expected to find out the reasons for it, the original Wang Kefan in the rear of the comprehensive mobilization, and expanded more than 30,000 soldiers, more than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, most of them sent to the Hunan front, so that Wang Sheng has achieved the strength advantage.

Sun is expected to feel very desperate, Wang Kefan occupied the rich world of Jiangnan, the population money and food is very abundant, said the expansion of the army, a few months time will be able to expand the army, this can be imagined for the Western army, long known now this result, the original should listen to the advice of Bai Wensheng, give up Changsha, Hengyang and Yuezhou, to the western part of Hunan contraction, now said to go can go, can go as soon as possible to Yunnan, will not make such dangerous, so passive.

There is no sale of regrets in the world, Sun is expected to know that he has made a major strategic mistake, but soon forgive himself, put the responsibility on Liu Wenxiu, if Liu Wenxiu can win the battle of Guiyang, all the problems encountered by the Western army now do not become a problem, even if the expansion of the army of more than one hundred thousand, the Western army can still fight with one of them.

Unfortunately, Liu Wenxiu has been defeated and killed, and the remaining practical problems are expected to face Sun himself.

With Wang Sheng's counter-offensive, the situation is more and more unfavorable to the Western army, and the delay is more dangerous for a day, because Liu Wenxiu's army is annihilated, the morale of the western army in Hunan has plummeted, defeating Wang Sheng has become impossible, and Yunnan's Qian Sansheng does not know how long it can persist.

...

In Yunnan, after returning to Kunming, Qi Sansheng sent the 10,000 garrison of Kunming to Qujing as the first line of defense to intercept the Chu army, and at the same time, the Western army of other state capitals and guards came to Kunming, when they arrived one after another, they were deployed to Kunming in various places to pass, and they were fortified.

Kunming is located in the northeast of Yunnan, very close to Guizhou, and Pu'an Province is only separated by a Qujing Province, which is very unfavorable to the Western Army, good that there are several days between Qujing and Kunming, Guansorling, rabbit gate (also known as rabbit ear gate), are easy to guard the dangerous place, as the reinforcements from all over the country have arrived, Qi Sansheng and Gao Wengui gradually regained their confidence, confident can hold Yunnan, until Sun expected.

Zhou Guodong and Liu Jun led 100,000 troops into Yunnan, the need for grain and grass supplies to slowly transport from the land to the front line, so can only march along the ancient stage of "into the east road", whether Qujing, Guansoring or rabbits can not go around, must be cleared one by one, in order to enter Kunming.

They first attacked the twilight.

100,000 Chu army surrounded the city in three sides, a typical encirclement of the three, spent five days to build siege equipment, and then launched an onslaught, Chu army in the hands of the gunpowder is not much, and now occupy the absolute strength advantage, so still with the traditional way to launch an attack.
