East Factory Governor

Chapter 499 Entering Baoji Hanzhong
The anger accumulated for three years finally erupted at this moment!

It's not that the city of Chongzhen is not enough, at most it can only be said that the blood of a young man has not faded from Chongzhen.

If in Chongzhen in history, people in Donglin just felt that they were talkative and aggressive, then in Chongzhen in this time and space, they are more clearly aware that people in Donglin are pushing him to death step by step.

Chongzhen in history did not realize this until he was dying.But in this time and space, because of Qin Shuhuai's appearance, he realized this earlier.

Therefore, when he was dissatisfied with Dong Lin in history, at most he would remove the chief minister and change the cabinet, but now, he has the heart to kill!
He's had enough!

Even when Zhou Yanru was beaten to death, Chongzhen would attack him, the leader of the Donglin Party, at this time!

Doesn't the emperor want to get rid of Qin Shuhuai?Isn't he afraid that Donglin Shizi will fight back?Now that the world is in chaos, if Donglin raises his arms and the governors of various places do not obey the emperor's order, can he still hold on to his status as a country?
Zhou Yanru couldn't figure it out.

Not only he couldn't figure it out, Wang Dehua, who had been standing behind Chongzhen, couldn't figure it out either!

After Zhou Yanru, Zhao Yan, and Chen Shang were dragged down, Wang Dehua walked up to Chongzhen and carefully reminded, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Sometimes eunuchs like them can see the situation in the court better than the ministers.If Zhou Yanru is really killed, the governors of Donglin in various places will definitely rebound, and Daming will be even more precarious by then.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and waved weakly at Wang Dehua, signaling him not to disturb him.

Wang Dehua had no choice but to step aside, sighing slightly in his heart.

In Pingliang, Qin Shuhuai received an urgent report from the White Lotus Sect outside the pass.Although it was an urgent report, it was sent out ten days ago. The content said that Hou Jin was gathering an army and seemed to be going south to attack Ming again.

Qin Shuhuai reckoned that Houjin's army should have already set out at this time.

Where will they come from?From Thistle, of course!

If it came from Ningjin and Shanhaiguan, then Houjin had two intentions, one is to expand the territory, and the other is to defeat the Guan Ning army, and then enter the Central Plains.

But do they have the need to expand their territory now?absolutely not!Fighting against the Guan Ning army and capturing Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places has no meaning for the current Houjin.Because they have few people, and the black land of their own family has not been developed, so why go to occupy land after so many people die?

As for entering the Central Plains?The current Huang Taiji may have this ambition, but just thinking about it, he is not crazy enough to really implement it.Compared with Hou Jin, the Ming Dynasty was like an elephant. If Hou Jin wanted to conquer this elephant, he could only wait for the internal organs of the elephant to rot first, and the rotten ones could no longer stand up.Therefore, before the Demon Cult and the rogue bandits completely tormented the Zhu family to death, he would never have such extravagant thoughts.

Since it is impossible for Huang Taiji to have these two intentions, then why did he bother to come from Liaodong?

The economic crisis and food crisis in Houjin were serious, so the purpose of their southern expedition this time was to grab money and food!What they didn't get last time, this time they plan to take advantage of the civil strife in Ming Dynasty and grab all at once!

So it was almost certain that they would still come from Ji.From there, you can avoid the strong Jinning and Shanhaiguan defense lines, reduce casualties, and quickly break into the Central Plains, grab it and leave!Moreover, they came to Ji Town once and destroyed many fortifications, many of which have not been repaired until now, which is convenient!Moreover, familiar with the way!
Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai immediately sent a memorial to Chongzhen, asking him to transfer the main force of Guan Ning Army to deploy defenses in Ji Town.The memorial was sent to the capital at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles.

Qin Shuhuai guessed right.

Thousands of miles away in Shenyang, the Hou Jin army has already set out.An expeditionary army composed of [-] queen gold elites and [-] soldiers, led by Huang Taiji himself, headed west.

Their plan was exactly the same as last time.First go to the Mongolian tribes to "borrow soldiers", then "borrow the road", and cross the Great Wall from Jizhen again.Obviously, they didn't want to entangle with the Guan Ning army in Ningjin and Shanhaiguan, they just wanted to break into the Central Plains quickly, and then take advantage of the chaos to loot. Of course, it would be even better if they could occupy several important cities in Jizhen to lay the foundation for the future.

Qin Shuhuai felt that time was running short.The vicinity of Gyeonggi, including the Guanning Army in Liaodong, has already dispatched [-] elite troops. If Huang Taiji breaks into Jizhen and he cannot return to his division to rescue him, then the "Jisi Change" in history is likely to be postponed. Only one year.

And the harm this time may be greater than in history.It is true that Houjin came here to grab money and food, but once they defeated the Guanning Army and the Wangshi near Gyeonggi, would they be willing to leave?

In history, Chongzhen was still able to summon the teachers of Qin Wang, and finally beat Houjin away, but now?Bandits are raging and demon sects are rampant, where can he find soldiers?

At that time, a series of chain reactions will unfold, and Daming may really die like this!Once Daming died, who would he go to as the governor of the East Factory?Seal one yourself?
After thinking about it, he decided to immediately lead his army to the south, marching into Baoji and Hanzhong.These two places are located near the border between southern Shaanxi and Gansu. Having the officers and soldiers stationed there can firstly block the connection between the Demon Cult and Gao Yingxiang in southern Shaanxi, and secondly cooperate with the Xi'an Herenlong Department to exterminate Gao Yingxiang.

Once Gao Yingxiang was wiped out, only Zhang Xianzhong's "solidarity" remained for the Devil's Cult, and it would be much more at ease to go back and suppress it at that time.

With a certain idea, he led the army out the next day.

In Pingliang, he asked Hong Chengchou to take 3 people to stay behind, and he took all the rest of the soldiers and horses away.

In this way, the soldiers and horses in his hands include 11 martial arts coalition troops, and more than 14 soldiers from Lanzhou City, for a total of more than [-] troops.

From Pingliang to Baoji, about 300 miles.The army hurriedly marched for two days and two nights, and arrived in Baoji smoothly.

After arriving in Baoji, rest for a day.The next day, Qin Shuhuai asked He Kegang to be the chief general, Zhang Xiao to be the deputy general, and Meng Wei, Li Jingting, and Pi Gou to be the generals. They led [-] Wulin coalition troops, [-] Gansu troops, and [-] Guanning troops to Hanzhong.When he went, he brought the governor's order that Hong Chengchou had drawn up long ago, and asked the Hanzhong guard to obey He Kegang.

He Kegang immediately led the expedition.Although he is not from the martial arts world, as a fierce general of the Guan Ning army, he is also highly respected in the martial arts world just like Zhao Lijiao, so no one disapproves of him leading the army.Besides, the martial arts coalition forces have never fought a war, and they wished for a senior general to lead them.

However, just to be on the safe side, Qin Shuhuai still sent a leather dog over there.Because many martial arts coalition forces were trained by Pigou and Qinglongtang under Pigou, he was more helpful to He Kegang's military orders.

It is almost 300 miles from Baoji to Hanzhong. After two days and two nights of marching, He Kegang's troops also arrived in Hanzhong smoothly and took over the military power in Hanzhong.There were originally [-] defenders in Hanzhong, so He Kegang had nearly [-] troops in his hands.
