Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 752 Hammer Bandit Team (Third Change)
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly, even though Gao Yingxiang cannot control the entire rebel army.

But from this, things can be divided into things, or small-scale gatherings can be used to fight against the official army with superior forces.

The situation where the government and the army want to trap everyone together for encirclement and suppression will never happen again in the future.

The almost gambling-like appeasement of Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Yang Jinchao and Lu Jiude, the supervisors, and the connivance of the emperor were the key to Ming's strategic mistakes.

Chongzhen and others originally planned to block and destroy them, but they did not expect this result, which caused even more trouble.

In less than one month, Gao Yingxiang and others swept across 21 counties, and the vanguard army approached Kaifeng.

Then the king of Zhou in Kaifeng became paralyzed, and hurriedly sprinkled money to save himself.

Fortunately, the rogues only tried it out, and then hurriedly withdrew, tending to enter Huguang, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places in a large scale.

Because Xunyang Mansion is at the junction of four provinces, with high mountains, it has always been known as the "hometown of thieves".

Xunyang Fuzhi Jiang Yunyi immediately reported to the Ministry of War when he saw soldiers pressing down on the border.

Xiong Mingyu, the seventh minister of the Ministry of War, was in danger, because Shanxi was occupied by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, and when the bandits in Henan formed a trapped dragon and went to sea, he was impeached by many people.

But when Chongzhen was employing people, he continued to let Xiong Mingyu commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and never dismissed him and sent him to prison.

It's just that the situation in Henan is getting more and more difficult now, and I'm afraid he will have to step down soon.

When Xiong Mingyu received Xunyang's report, he was even more shocked.

The seven cities of Xunyang Mansion were all created during the Chenghua period. They were built with stones on the hills, and they were called city walls. There are less than a few hundred residents in them, and they are not even as good as ordinary village castles.

He could only lament again and again: "Oh my god, the scourge of the bandits is getting worse and worse. From Qin to Jin, from Jin to Yu, and then from Yu to Chu, half of the world has been destroyed.

When the desperadoes hear the news and respond, they will lead the world to become thieves, is there still a place of peace and order? "

Shanxi, Taiyuan, Jinwang Mansion.

The common people are all getting ready for the new year, thanks to the blessing of the Commander-in-Chief, this year can be regarded as another bumper harvest year.

People don't buy much mutton this year, but mostly pork, chicken, and rabbit meat.

There is not much mutton available in the market. It is said that there is a plague outside the Great Wall, and the exchange point has been closed, and it is not easy to get the sheep raised by the handsome into the Great Wall.

The common people don't care about this matter. What family conditions can they eat mutton?
That is to say, when the commander-in-chief returned from his expedition to Mongolia last year, he rewarded them with some mutton for them to taste.

Now that the Chinese New Year is full of meat, it is already better than the previous years.

Some old people even reminisced that they only occasionally had such a good life when they got Wanli.

He Jinzhao looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help laughing out loud. As a fellow luggage, he really had some talent and luck.

Originally, he thought that Gao Yingxiang would borrow Wang's own name and influence, but Li Zicheng took the face and Gao Yingxiang took the face.

But when the two of them went to the palace to kill, Gao Yingxiang had already overshadowed Zijinliang, the leader of the 36th Battalion.

It can be said that Li Zicheng has won all the face.

And in the future, there will probably be no more groups of insurgents allied with each other.

It's been a few years, and the ambition that should have grown should have grown long ago.

He Jinzhao wasn't sure whether they would directly destroy any rebel army if they blocked his way in the future.

With the growth of strength and ambition, people will become cold-blooded and hypocritical.

Now that they have made such a big commotion in Henan, they will go to Chu or Sichuan in the future, and a large part of Ming Dynasty's troops will have to be dragged by them.

In particular, the ministries including Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong and others entered the Lushi Mountains.Here, "the mountains make the sky, and the teeth and toes are wrong", the situation is very dangerous.

There used to be a group of local people who lost their land and were forced to defy the imperial court's ban to mine mines for a living. They were denounced by the imperial court as "mine robbers".

After the arrival of the rebel army, the miners actively participated and acted as guides, leading the rebel army from the mountain path to the inner countryside, and then went south to Yunyang and Xiangyang in Huguang through Dengzhou and Xishui.

In this way, Ming's military force is mainly divided into three parts.

One is the Houjin regime in Liaodong.

The remaining two are hammer bandits and other rogues who combined movement and sound.

This move greatly reduced the pressure on his defense line in Shanxi.

He Jinzhao believes that the reason why Li Zicheng was able to deceive the dog emperor also reflects Chongzhen's hesitation in the dilemma of encircling and suppressing and recruiting.

Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, followed Yang He's mistakes and created a good situation of "leading the world to be bandits".

Yang He is the guide, and Wang Pu and others are acting as momentum. I don't know which master of the court will be the next step to push the rebel army to a climax.

Li Gao and others coerced more young and strong rebels in the hinterland of the Central Plains, let alone Daming.

It can be said that after the rebel army crossed the Yellow River, they quickly got rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers and achieved a leap forward of thousands of miles.

In just one month, the footprints of the rebel army were almost all over the counties in western Henan, and then rushed to the bordering Huguang, Anhui and Sichuan.

For the Ming court, the original local problem has since become a serious problem.

He Jinzhao put down the letter in his hand, only feeling refreshed, a single spark finally started a prairie fire.

"Master, everyone is here."

"Ah."

He Jinchao responded, and was then led out of the side hall and into the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.

At this time, the main hall was noisy and noisy, and the civil servants and generals were all beaming.

There are Liu Erhu and other old subordinates who started with He Jinchao in Ganquan, Shaanxi, and those who were promoted in the army after entering Shanxi.

The subservient subordinates who rectified the grassland, the subordinates who were promoted by the officers and soldiers who surrendered, some scholars who were selected through the administration of officials, and a small number of female officials.

Even the hall was not full, and there were many people outside the square. These people were densely packed, waiting for He Jinzhao to come out.

This was the first year after Marshal He took over the whole province, so before the New Year's Eve, all the leaders were called over to get together and recognize each other.

Any difficulties and good experiences can be shared and learned from each other. In short, all resources in Shanxi Province should be integrated as much as possible.

There was a lot of joy on everyone's faces, because they were all beneficiaries of the Hammer Bandits' rule.

This year the commander-in-chief occupies the whole of Shanxi. No one dares to think about what it will be like in two years.

In short, the earlier you join, the more you will benefit.

In terms of politics in Shanxi Province, there are 560 town mayors alone, not counting the other deputies and the small officials who work in the county government.

96 magistrates and officials from several houses of their own also gathered here.

This also means that He Jinzhao has enough retired and disabled soldiers under his command to learn from the army, at least to maintain the stability of the place without any major problems.

As for the Hammer Bandit's main army, it has expanded to 5 people, and the remaining camps and auxiliary soldiers are not included in the establishment.

In this way, He Jinchao already had fifty captains under his command, who were in charge of five mighty generals, and the other was Shuaibiao, the deputy mighty general.

Even if He Jinzhao wanted to convert the soldiers who were trapped in the camp, it was still restricted by food and grass.
