Chapter 754: The situation is very good
The current situation in Gyeonggi is very good, and the people can work with peace of mind, so there is basically no idle land, and life can go on.
Since the "Red Banner Army" contracted Pingliao for five years and then took control of most of Shanxi bordering Gyeonggi, the defense line of Beizhili that might face the enemy was only the inner line.
Because the 3,500-mile radius of Beijing was surrounded by the "Red Banner Army" garrison area on three sides, only the southern border with Henan did not have a regular army of the "Red Banner Army" stationed.
Chongzhen's suspicion of Huang Han is true, but it is not yet time to tear his face.
Zhang Fengyi, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, is now participating in the Pingliao Plan, and He Ru, who is acting on behalf of Liu Zhilun to exercise the real power of the secretary of the Ministry of War, has returned to his hometown, and Liu Zhilun has become a cabinet minister.
As long as the "Red Banner Army" was stationed, they would be happy to withdraw the troops that needed to be paid by the imperial court.
Yang Sichang, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, is a strategist who fantasizes about completing the grand plan of "four squares, six corners, and ten sides of the net" to eliminate the rogue and go down in history, and it is even more impossible for him to deliberately deviate from the "Red Banner Army" at this critical moment.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi only needed to garrison troops in the south, in order to prevent the Liukou from breaking through the Yellow River in winter.
Liu Zhilun, Fang Zhenghua, and Li Ruolian have never slackened, and have always paid attention to training people, and Chongzhen also used a lot of the money he got last year to train people in Beijing.
Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan have all become chief military officers because of their outstanding achievements in last year's war, and the 6,000 men and horses in the main barracks under their command are completely full, and the ratio of three cavalry and seven infantry is only high.
Emperor Chongzhen also knew about Huang Han's training of the "Red Banner Army" for a long time, and knew that it was easier to improve the combat effectiveness of the army by training troops in actual combat.
This can not only improve the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp, but also allow the generals to get the opportunity to train and show their talents.
Sun Yingyuan, the chief military officer, Lin Daye, Chen Gao, and other lieutenants were sent to Shanxi under the command of Hong Chengchou, and the Beijing camp under their command was 10,000 men and horses, and the cavalry exceeded 3,000, and the quality of clothing and equipment was higher than that of ordinary border troops.
Hong Chengchou and the others who were loyal to the imperial court had confidence in their hearts, and he was more assured that Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, and Wang Tingchen were the three chief military officers, so that they could form a first army.
He used the Jingying people to suppress the formation, and drove He Renlong, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong people as the main force to follow the Liukou.
With Sun Yingyuan, Lin Daye, and Chen Gao leading 10,000 people loyal to Daming to support Hong Chengchou, the effect was good, and He Renlong, Ma Ke and others knew that they couldn't hide if they didn't take action again, so they also started to move hard.
It is also because of the expulsion that the imperial court has issued and repaid half a year's military salary in order to let the Ming army work hard.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui, etc., did not know why, after being violently beaten by the Ming army who suddenly accumulated a lot of hair, they felt that the opponent seemed to be possessed by a martial god.
As a last resort, he suddenly flew apart, and in order to avoid the main force being cut off, he played again and broke it into pieces.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong, Hengtian Wang Zishun and other leaders each led the old camp to the direction of Sichuan.
Hong Chengchou dispersed the main force of Shaanxi Liukou, who was in the limelight, beheaded more than 20,000 people and captured more than 100,000 homeless.
During this period, Gao Jie and Bai Guangen, two generals from the rogue background, stood out and were favored by Hong Chengchou, and they were given guerrilla official positions respectively, and they were actually awarded.
Receiving the guerrilla command meant that he had only a loose subordinate relationship with the chief officer, and he had independent autonomy and two or three thousand men and horses under direct command.
The guerrillas who took office as new officials, and it is impossible for generals with bad backgrounds to get full men and horses, and it is impossible to get full salaries, but these two people have extraordinary abilities, and their paths are completely different from those of the Ming generals.
Think about it? Who pays the rogues, and they haven't snowballed yet?
Gao Jie and Bai Guangen were one of the leaders of the rebellion, and they were all too familiar with the style of the accomplices who used to rob homes and houses together.
They were even able to find the location where the rogues buried their gold and silver treasures, and many of the rogues who were scattered and surrounded knew Gao Jie and Bai Guangen.
Often these stragglers who were caught up by Gao Jie and Bai Guangen saw the former leader waving their hands, and these people immediately chose to surrender, and the next day they changed into mandarin duck jackets and joined the Ming army.
It didn't take long for Gao Jie and Bai Guangen's guerrilla battalions to become strong and strong, and their numbers exceeded the quota of 3,600.
When employing people, Hong Chengchou chose to turn a blind eye, as long as the generals under his command were willing to fight with the rogues, let them develop savagely.
This is the sorrow of the Ming court after entering the end of the Ming Dynasty, whether it can fight, whether it is loyal, whether it slaughters the common people is not important, what matters is how many people and horses there are in hand.
Zuo Liangyu did bad things, but because of the tens of thousands of people under his command, the court was helpless, and he had to make a wish to coax him to work.
Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others played the golden cicada shell, and then bypassed Hanzhong to take Guangyuan County in one fell swoop, and then conquered Ningqiang Prefecture, not only once again coerced a large number of young adults, but also many people and horses who stood out from the encirclement of the Ming army rushed to converge.
The number of rogues and exiles who had once again accumulated strength exceeded 200,000, and they were not satisfied with fighting the county and state towns, and their eyes were aimed at Hanzhong Mansion.
The history of building the city in Hanzhong is very long, it can be traced back to the Warring States period before the era, and after the reinforcement and expansion of the successive dynasties, now the city is three zhang high and the circumference is ten miles, all the four gates have built the city gate building, which is relatively solid.
However, no matter how strong the city is, it can't withstand the internal and external cooperation, and the rogues once again use the method of mixing in spies in order to seize the city.
Nowadays, the "Red Flag Army" only retains two cities in Shaanxi, namely Hanzhong and Xi'an, and there are Sifang Express, "Red Flag Grain Store", "Red Flag Post Office" and Sifang Money Village in the city.
In the midst of the war and chaos in Shaanxi, there are countless landlords, old wealth, dignitaries and nobles who deposit cash silver in the Sifang Money Village, and the Sifang Express always needs to transport cash into the grain.
Fortunately, there were many flag guards, the Quartet Express Dart Division, and the Sifang Qianzhuang guards operating in Hanzhong, and the head of the Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department of the Flag Guard also rushed to Hanzhong to personally command.
The loyalty of the flag guards is the top priority, and the status and power of the heads of the military intelligence departments of the provinces are second only to the big spy leaders like Huang Sifang and Li Sanniangzi, of course, they are all starting teams.
The person in charge of the Shaanxi Military Intelligence Department is Huang Huiwu's hometown in Jiulitai Village, which is a generation older than Huang Han, and it is not far from Huang Yizhou's own brother.
He was transferred to the flag guard after Chongzhen was injured in four years, and now he is the head of the military intelligence department, and his rank and treatment are equivalent to the actual award of the "Red Flag Army", and the treatment of Huang Sifang and Li Sanniang is the same as that of the battalion commander.
