Everything falls into place, and that's probably what the so-called trend is.

There was no better choice for martial arts, so under the guidance of the major factions, they made what they thought was the best choice.

Qin Shuhuai's ascension to the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is like this, and the same is true of forming a martial arts alliance to crusade against the Demon Sect.

After receiving the Great Seal of the Martial Arts Alliance, Qin Shuhuai immediately announced the formation of the Martial Arts Alliance. After each sect returned, it was required to immediately send thirty percent of the disciples in the sect, led by the elders in the sect or someone equivalent to the status of an elder, and rush to the Jianghe Gang within a month for a half-month training. After the training, immediately set off to defeat the Demon Sect!

Again, there was no objection to this proposal.

At this time, if anyone does not send troops to join the coalition army, they will be immediately isolated. In comparison, drawing out thirty percent of the disciples is nothing. What's more, Qin Shuhuai emphasized that all money, food, and armaments were to be borne by the Jianghe Gang, the Cao Gang, and the Giant Whale Gang, and that those who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield could not only be rewarded with money and grain, but even a wharf along the canal. What is the concept of a canal wharf? It is a chicken that can lay golden eggs! Although everyone does not think that Qin Shuhuai will really appreciate the big wharf, it is a small and medium-sized wharf, which is enough for many small and medium-sized sects.

With these commitments, their motivation has increased to a greater or lesser extent.

There are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight factions participating in the Martial Arts Alliance, which basically represents the entire martial arts. Their disciples add up to about 600,000 people (the Guangcao Gang, the Beggar Gang, and the Giant Whale Gang add up to almost 300,000), if you draw out 30%, it will be 180,000 people, plus Qin Shuhuai's Jianghe Gang, a total of 190,000 troops!

However, the soldiers are not expensive, and Qin Shuhuai does not have so much spare money to raise so many troops, after the training, he only selects 100,000 people. The remaining 90,000 people, let them go back and forth from where first, as a reserve, in case these 100,000 people are exhausted, then replenish!

The inaugural meeting of the Martial Arts Alliance ended smoothly.

In the evening, Qin Shuhuai held a grand dinner to invite the bigwigs of all factions who came to attend the meeting. During the banquet, there was a staggered meeting, laughter, and peace, and many sects with grievances, under the mediation of the major factions and Qin Shuhuai, the leader of the alliance, most of them laughed and hated each other.

Every sect realizes that in this troubled world, there is only one way for martial arts to unite. If the factions attack each other again, first, they will be punished by the martial arts alliance, and there will be no good fruits to eat, and second, the martial arts will become weaker and weaker, and then everyone should roll up and get out!

Just like a country, as soon as a foreign war begins, the country will be united like never before, and internal contradictions can be swept away in a short time. Now the same is true for martial arts.

The next day, after taking the seal of the Martial Arts Alliance and the seal of the alliance leader, the bigwigs of each sect said goodbye one after another and went back to gather people.

In the following time, the Jianghe Gang has been in the work of successively receiving people from various sects and training them.

The sect that was closer to the Jianghe Gang sent the disciples over within five or six days. Among them, the beggar gang sent 10,000 disciples at once, the Cao gang sent 8,000, and the giant whale gang sent 6,000. The Jianghe Gang first dragged them to the secret cottage and unified the training.

Since then, new disciples of various sects have come to report almost every day. The Jianghe Gang is full of helmsmen and secret cottages, but there is still not enough space. In the end, Qin Shuhuai remembered that he still had hundreds of fiefdoms, so he asked people to quickly set up a camp tent as a training base.

Time passes day by day.

On March 27 of the third year of Chongzhen, the demon sect soldiers attacked Xining, which was almost undefended by soldiers, and used this place as the base camp for attacking Gansu.

On the second day of the fourth month, the demon sect soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to the southeast, and approached Lanzhou, where the governor of Gansu was located (also known as Fanlan County, where the name of Lanzhou was taken for convenience). The other way to the northeast, take Weiwu County, an important town in central Gansu.

On the ninth day of the first month of April, the southeast of the Demon Sect connected Keledu, Honggu, Huazhuang and other villages and counties, and stationed in Xihe Town, which was less than 500 miles away from Lanzhou. At the same time, the army of the Northeast Road of the Demon Sect captured Gulang County, south of Weiwu, which was only a hundred miles away from Weiwu.

If the Demon Sect controls Weiwu and Lanzhou, then the central and central parts of Gansu will all fall. What's even worse is that Ma Shouying's peasant army is operating in the southeast of Gansu, and it is likely to cooperate with the Demon Sect at that time, so that the imperial court will be equivalent to losing half of Gansu.

Chongzhen was so anxious that he issued an order again and again, asking Qin Shuhuai to lead troops to reinforce Gansu first, but Qin Shuhuai refused on the grounds that the training was unsuccessful.

It has only been fifteen days since the inaugural meeting of the Martial Arts Alliance, not to mention the training of these free and casual martial arts people, even the personnel have only received about half of them, so they naturally can't go now.

So the situation in Gansu is very delicate.

In the vicinity of Lanzhou, the 40,000 horses of the Guanning Army, the Xuanfu Army, the Datong Army, and the Changping Army who went to reinforce were all stationed here, and there were 50,000 Gansu soldiers, totaling 90,000 people to defend Lanzhou.

In Weiwu, there are 60,000 horses guarding, including Xining Wei and others.

Most of the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 Gansu soldiers and horses were stationed in Pingliang, Qingyang and other places in eastern Gansu, and together with more than 30,000 people in northern Shaanxi, they formed a defensive line to prevent the Demon Sect from advancing eastward and threatening Gyeonggi.

Chongzhen fidgeted.

Qin Shuhuai refused to send troops, and he had no way to force it. And he also knew that it was indeed a little difficult for him to let Qin Shuhuai send troops now. These martial arts people are free and loose, and if they don't go through a certain degree of training, they can't even figure out the military orders, how can they fight?

The DPRK and China are now divided into two factions, one faction thinks that even if it fights with the Demon Sect now, it will be lost, it is better to preserve its strength, stick to Weiwu, Lanzhou and other big cities, and wait for Qin Shuhuai's army to complete its training before counterattacking. The other faction believes that if they are passive at this time, they will only let the Demon Sect occupy more cities, let the Demon Sect get more money, food and population, and then the Demon Sect will unite with Ma Shouying and other thieves, and it will inevitably gain a firm foothold in Gansu. Even, the Demon Sect can cut off the supply of the imperial court by invading Weiwu and the surrounding cities of Lanzhou, trapping the hundreds of thousands of troops inside.

Many Donglin Party members have asked for war, and they are full of indignation and say that they will sacrifice their lives for the country and fight to the death with the Demon Sect.

At the same time, the crucial post of trilateral governor has set off a new round of contention**. The recitals of the Donglin Party flew to Chongzhen's desk like snowflakes, asking him to reinstate Qian Qianyi, who had been dismissed the year before, as the governor of the tripartite. In addition to the cabinet led by Zhou Yanru, there are also many Donglin governors, which makes Chongzhen in a dilemma.

Chongzhen couldn't sit still.

That night, under the protection of the four masters, he secretly went out of Beijing and came to the helm of the Jianghe Gang.

Qin Shuhuai was taken aback when he saw Chongzhen.

Chongzhen's eyes were deep-set, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his whole face was yellow and thin, if he wasn't wearing a gorgeous silk robe, he would look like a disaster victim.
