    In the spring of the sixth year of Longwu, Emperor Longwu was kidnapped by the Chu army and taken to Changsha. He was then secretly sent to Wuchang and took a boat eastward along the Yangtze River to Nanjing.  At the same time, the civil and military officials stationed in Huguang, such as Zhang Kuang, Li Guo, Teng Shuanglin, Yuan Zongdi and others, each mobilized elite soldiers and generals and rushed to Changsha to meet them, and formed an army of more than 50,000 people, led by Tan  Xiao unified the command and prepared to attack Liu Wenxiu, Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen who invaded Huguang.  Liu Fangliang and He Zhen retreated southward, and after reuniting with Dang Shousu, they withdrew to the Sangui area at the junction of Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong to observe the situation. This area belonged to the later Jianghua Yao Autonomous County and Lianshan Zhuang Autonomous County, both of which were  It is a mountainous area inhabited by ethnic minorities. The mountains and rivers are poor and the roads are difficult to navigate. The Chu Army and the Western Army ignored them for a while. He Wuzou, Chen Zizhuang and others coordinated with Guangdong and sent a group of troops. Although the number was small, they were temporarily relieved.  The urgently needed food has been temporarily settled.  Among the generals in the Chuang camp, Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen are all generals who can stand alone and have the highest morale. Otherwise, they would not have left Huguang to fight alone. For example, Dang Shousu was the veteran of the Chuang Wang Laoba team back then.  The veteran generals guarded Lanzhou during the Dashun period and were famous in the northwest. With the three of them stationed here, Guangdong had a solid barrier. So after Su Guansheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, learned of the situation, he sent someone to send a batch of money and food.  In order to show their support, he secretly ordered his troops to strictly guard the various passes in Nanling and not let these bandits enter Guangdong.  Most of the exiled officials of the Longwu court, such as He Wuzou and Chen Zizhuang, were in Liu Fangliang's army. These high-ranking and powerful court officials in the past were now living under the influence of others and miserable. Among them, the depressed ones were drunk all day long and had no faith.  Determined to make a comeback, Chen Zizhuang, He Wuzou and others jointly wrote several personal letters to Su Guansheng, asking him to come to Lianshan to discuss state affairs, or they could go to Guangzhou, but Su Guansheng kept making excuses, and military affairs were busy today.  , suddenly fell ill tomorrow and refused to come to Lianshan, nor would He Wuzou and the others go to Guangzhou.  In addition to Su Guansheng, there is also Wan Yuanji. Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi and Fujian, owns southern Jiangxi and western Fujian, which is only larger than Su Guansheng's territory. He is also a die-hard imperial minister. Both Chen Zizhuang and He Wuzhen have high hopes for Wan Yuanji.  However, he went even further than Su Guansheng. He sent people to Ganzhou for help several times in a row, but received only an indifferent reply. Wan Yuanji claimed that he was dispatching troops and would personally lead the army as soon as he learned the whereabouts of Emperor Longwu.  King Qin, please ask Yuan Fu and Ge Lao to help you when the time comes.  People¡¯s hearts are broken!  He Wuzou and Chen Zizhuang were both sad and helpless. The banner of Emperor Longwu fell, and there was no longer a leader who could convince the people. The alliance between the Southern Party and the Imperial Party was also on the verge of splitting. Wan Yuanji, Su Guansheng and other high-ranking officials in the border areas each  Make your own calculations.  He Wuzuo and Chen Zizhuang were both leaders of the Southern Party. Su Guansheng gave him some respect. Tang Laihe, the leader of the Imperial Party, was captured by the Chu army. Wan Yuanji gave him one soldier and not even a copper plate, and gave a perfunctory reply without any reply.  Sincerity, and even a hint of provocation - at this point, do you still want to point fingers?  I just stared at you and told lies to deal with you. Do you dare to fall out?  "These old foxes are just waiting to see what's going on." He Wuzuo sighed.  Emperor Longwu was kidnapped by the Chu army. At this time, he immediately raised the righteous flag of King Qin and launched an all-out war with the Chu army. This was the only choice for a loyal minister and filial son. However, the Chu army was too powerful. Su Guansheng and Wan Yuanji did not dare to attack the stone with an egg, so they simply  If they don't meet with He Wuzou, Chen Zizhuang and others, they have too many worries about their family's success. However, He Wuzou and Chen Zizhuang have already lost everything. If moral kidnapping makes them go to war with the Chu army, all kinds of righteousness will be lost.  The big hat is off, Su Guansheng and Wan Yuanji are both famous officials with integrity all over the world. How should they distinguish themselves when the time comes?  In the current situation, if you do too much, you will be wrong, but if you don't do anything, it will be good. Su Guansheng and Wan Yuanji do not dare to go to war with the Chu army. They can only bury their heads in the sand like ostriches and look forward to a miracle.  Deep in their hearts, there is still a treasonous thought that cannot be told to anyone - if Emperor Longwu falls in the rebellion and the whereabouts of the prince cannot be found, they can justifiably support the king of Tang, even if they have to fight against it.  The Chu army did not hesitate to be the enemy.  If Emperor Longwu really goes to Nanjing, no one knows where everyone will go.  Many civil and military officials staying in Liu Fangliang's army, some of whom are quick-thinking, have begun to secretly inquire about the inside story of the Chuxun Group and the current situation of Jiangnan's surrender.  People have to look forward. If everything is irreversible, then you can go to Nanjing. The emperor is in a dangerous situation, and loyal ministers around him need to continue to fight against Chu Xun's traitorous party.  I heard that Qian Qianyi, a notorious "veteran of three dynasties", was doing well. It can be seen that although Wang Kefan was a momentary tycoon, he also had the magnanimity of a tyrant. Even if he had different political stances, he would not be punished if he went to Nanjing to serve as an official.  Too much trouble.  The arguments of these wavering factions are very popular and spread rapidly in Lianshan.Some people have begun to advocate peace talks with the Chu army, and Liu Fangliang came to the door and issued a serious warning to He Wuzou and Chen Zizhuang. If these people continue to spread similar remarks and disrupt the morale of the army and the people, don't blame me for being rude. Those who should be arrested will be arrested.  Kill them, kill them all, and don¡¯t spare anyone.  Faced with the murderous threat, the wavering faction immediately shut up, and the voices of fighting to the death with Chu Ni became louder and louder. Liu Fangliang was quite disdainful of this, and complained to He Zhen and Dang Shousu several times.  "This group of people really can't do anything. They made a fuss all over the world without even saying a word. It's not up to anyone to negotiate with the Chu army like this. In fact, I want to sell myself to the Chu army more than they do, but even if I sell, I have to sell it."  Good price, isn't it? " "How about we wait and see who can win the world between the Chu army and the Western army? You and I have already missed each other once, so we can't make another mistake again."  hesitate.  "You can't be wrong, the Chu army must have won. Wang Kefan is like a tiger on a dragon's plate, and he has the aura of an emperor. Furthermore, if we wait until the Chu army defeats the Western Army, it will be difficult for us to join him again. It is better to make an early decision.  "He Zhen has been in Hanzhong for the past few years, and her situation is different from that of Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu. At least she has no worries about turning back.  The three people discussed it over and over, and finally felt that it was more reliable to defect to the Chu Army. For Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu, although turning back was not delicious, the generals who broke into the camp were at least their brothers. If they defected to the Western Army, they would be  Like three horses mixed into a herd of camels, they are looked down upon everywhere and can never be truly accepted. After all, Chuangying and Xiying have had deep grievances for many years, so Dang Shousu can just say it.  He pondered for a moment and said: "In this current situation, there will definitely be a battle between the Chu Army and the Western Army. If they come out regardless of high or low, Sun Ke hopes that they will not give up. If our army has enough food and grass, we can seize it."  It¡¯s an opportunity to intervene, but I don¡¯t know what the attitude of Wang Junmen in Nanjing is.¡± Liu Fangliang smiled and said: ¡°It¡¯s two to three thousand miles from Nanjing, and it takes more than ten days for letters to come and go. We can¡¯t do that.  Keep waiting. As soon as the Chu army and the Western army begin to fight, they will lead Erlang to fight down the mountain. They will first defeat Yuefu, then Guilin and Liuzhou, and seize a foothold. In the future, whether they can attack or retreat, it doesn't matter.  What kind of attitude does Wang Junmen have? It's better than hiding in this ravine! " Hundreds of miles away in Quanzhou, Sun Kewang, who had just arrived, was giving lessons to Liu Wenxiu and others.  "This is the military ticket of the Chu army. Don't underestimate it. In my opinion, it is more terrifying than thousands of troops. If we don't take precautions early, sooner or later we will destroy the foundation of our Western Army!" Listen to him  It was said so seriously that everyone was a little disapproving. It was well known in Huguang that the Chu army used military coupons in large quantities. Liu Wenxiu's troops also often came into contact with it. They carefully kept the military coupons seized on the battlefield and found suitable ones.  Channels can be easily exchanged for real money Speaking of which, Wang Kefan does have some skills. He was able to use such a worthless thing to pay military pay. He may have used it to defraud a lot of money, but with this small trick  How could a piece of paper be more terrifying than thousands of troops?  "Everyone, this is money! If everyone in the world uses this kind of military coupons as money, our Western Army's copper coins will not be spent!" Sun Kewang raised his voice and tapped the table with his fingers. ?????????????????????????????????????? Everyone is stunned, quick-thinking, and already vaguely understand what Sun Kewang means.  Zhang Xianzhong died in battle in northern Sichuan. The Western Army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to Yunnan because it could not defeat the Qing army. Like most people in the Central Plains, the Western Army officers and soldiers thought that Yunnan was a remote and barbaric land, poor and poor.  It was desolate. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Yunnan, I discovered that this place is a paradise. It is not only suitable for living, but also rich in products. There are several large copper mines that have just been developed.  These copper mines are easy to mine, have excellent quality, and can be directly used to mint coins with a little refining. Sun Kewang is a master of internal affairs, so he immediately took over these copper mines, carried out large-scale construction and development, and then imitated the Ming Dynasty's standard copper coins in batches.  As a result, the Western Army suddenly made a fortune, so it was able to recover so quickly and was even stronger than during the Zhang Xianzhong period.  After all, silver is a precious currency, and copper coins are the hard currency that fills all aspects of society. The Western Army has copper coins that can never be used up, so they can do whatever they want. Wherever the Western Army attacks, Yunnan copper coins will follow.  Wherever, even before the soldiers and horses arrived, copper coins went first. Yunnan coins were of good quality and heavy weight. They were more popular than Chongzhen Tongbao. They were not disadvantaged wherever they went. They continuously bought all kinds of materials they needed from all over the country. In Shaanxi and Sichuan  In places such as Yunnan, there has even been a business specializing in smuggling Yunnan money.  But in Huguang, Yunnan Qian encountered a strong opponent, the military ticket of the Chu army.
