In April of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led all the hundred officials of Beile out of Shenyang City for ten miles to greet Kong Youde Geng Zhongming, and treated each other with the most solemn "hug ceremony" of the Jurchens.

In May, Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, went to the Ming Dynasty to show that Shanxi had been ravaged by the people for many years, and asked for a reduction or exemption of taxes in Shanxi for three years.

In the same month, Lin Dan Khan, who was driven to Qinghai by Huang Taiji, was short of food and clothing, led 50,000 Mongolian cavalry into Kou Ningxia in Qingshui and Hengcheng, and the garrisons of Ningxia in the Ming court fled one after another, Lin Dan Khan's army plundered all the way, and approached Lingzhou, He Huchen led more than 1,000 horsemen to aid Lingzhou, and attacked everywhere to block a small group of Mongolian cavalry, unfortunately surrounded by the main force of Lin Dan Khan, He Huchen died in battle, and his son He Zan led fifty cavalry to break through.

When the battle report reached Beijing, Zhu Youzhen was shocked and angry, so he posthumously appointed He Huchen as the governor of the city, and arrested Geng Haoren, the governor of Yansui, and punished him.

In late May, Deng Xi, the commander of the reinforcement army, led 2,000 Sichuan troops and the area around Shanyang Mountain in Jiyuan to shoot and kill the king of Zijin Liang for his own use, and the Liukou then pushed Wang Gao Yingxiang as the leader of the rebel army.

In June, the Liukou soldiers divided the road, all the way to Lu'an Mansion in Shanxi Province to break through Pingshun County, kill Xu Mingyang of Zhixian County, Cao Wenzhao led 3,000 soldiers and horses to gallop smoothly, defeated Liukou, and chased all the way out of the northern part of Henan from Taihang Mountain, and killed Liukou in Yangcheng and Bidian area to defeat and retreat.

Another way to flow in the north of Henan first to break through Heshun Town, and then break through Lin County, and then to the south of Kouluohui County, into the Weihui City, the city of King Lu urgent, a day to send more than a dozen urgent reports out of four out for help.

Because Deng Xi's Sichuan army has left Sichuan for several years, first Chongzhen entered the king of Beijing Qin in the second year, and then entered the Denglai Pingchao in the fifth year of Chongzhen, fought for thousands of miles, and was already homesick, after the rebellion of Kong Youde in Dengzhou, Deng Xi asked to return to Sichuan, the court did not allow it, and ordered him to enter Hebei to suppress bandits, although he shot Wang in Jiyuan for his own use, but the Sichuan army has long had no will to fight, and complained constantly.

In the same month, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Zhang Bingzhong, the eighth king and Liu Guineng, the collapse of the sky, joined forces to attack Cizhou, Deng Xi led the Sichuan army to aid Cizhou, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Bingzhong, etc., but suddenly turned around to attack the weaker Henan Mao Hulu soldiers, Deng Xi turned around and galloped to aid the Mao Hulu soldiers, and as a result, the Sichuan army was defeated in the area of Lin County, and the general Yang Yuchun was killed in battle, and the Sichuan army was killed and wounded more than 1,000.

Zhang Bingzhong took Yang Yuchun's letter to the Maohulu barracks to send reinforcements, and the Maohulu soldiers believed that it was true, and sent troops to help, but on the way they were ambushed, and the main general Deng Shouxian was killed.

Deng Xi led the remnants of the army to retreat to Tangyin County, and was besieged by Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Bingzhong and others, but fortunately Zuo Liangyu rescued him.

Deng Xi, who survived, joined forces with Zuo Liangyu, and was defeated again and again, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Bingzhong and others were driven into a panic, and ran headlong into the Changping soldiers led by Tang Jiuzhou, the deputy chief of Changping, and were killed and collapsed.

Deng, Zuo, Tang and others pursued all the way, and met the Chaotian King who was scurrying around, and beheaded the Chaotian King in the chaos, and continued to chase and kill the main force of the Liukou, until Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Bingzhong and other remnants of the army were defeated and fled into Taihang Mountain.

When the Jin, Shaanxi, and Henan bandits were surging, the Jingshi court was also surging.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru began to instruct each other to impeach each other in the fourth year of Chongzhen, such as forming a party for personal gain, excluding dissidents, accepting bribes, and running rampant in the countryside.

In fact, both of them have done a lot of these things, but Wen Tiren is more cunning and treacherous, and he has taken the lead in attracting many eunuchs, since the beginning of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Wang Kun, the supervisor of the Xuanfu Army, impeached Zhou Yanru, causing a shock in the government and the opposition, and gradually gained the upper hand.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Tiren's party launched a more fierce offensive, and Hu Ke gave Chen Zanhua, Li Shiqi, and Hu Ke Zhu Wenhuan to the matter to impeach Zhou Yanru again for accepting bribes and forming a party for personal gain.

In June, Zhou Yanru saw that he couldn't resist it, so he resigned due to illness.

Zhu Youzhen was also tired of the two arguing in the court, so he gave him gold and silver satin with a stroke of his pen and sent troops to escort him back to his hometown.

Wen Tiren finally got his wish and became the first assistant and took charge of the court.

But he didn't live a good life for a few days, and it didn't take long for the Donglin Party, Zhou Yanru, and Yu Party to start impeaching him one after another.

In July, when the main force of the Ming army was pursuing the main force of the Waibu Liukou, the remnants of the Liukou took the opportunity to break into pieces and drill out of the gaps, trekking through mountains and rivers, and scurrying around in the Taihang Mountains.

It didn't take long for it to reunite into tens of thousands of troops in the area of Liaozhou, Shanxi, and march towards Leping County north of Liaozhou. Literature Great

Some of them even escaped to the Taiyue Mountain on the west side of the Taihang Mountains, and gathered together to plunder the Fenzhou area in the hinterland of Shanxi.

Xu Dingchen was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Yingchang, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Yan Siyin, the supervising army, to return to the army and exterminate the Fenzhou Liukou.

At this moment, Xu Dingchen received a military report that Qin Chuan, a guerrilla general in Shanxi, had finally arrived.

Xu Dingchen was overjoyed, and hurriedly wrote an order to send someone to Qin Chuan, ordering him to rush to Fenzhou immediately.

……

In fact, Qin Chuan should have arrived a long time ago, he just spent some time on the road, and packed up a group of rogues who only had hundreds of people, but carried hundreds of stones of grain and hundreds of silver, and it was only too late.

Playing rogues is a very lucrative business.

After receiving Xu Dingchen's order, Qin Chuan looked at the map for a while, then waved his hand and turned around and headed to Fenzhou.

It was impossible to gallop to help, his army carried two hundred stone of grain, as well as bean and forage for ten days for war horses, and these mule and horse carts traveled slowly on the mountain road of Taiyue Mountain, and it took an hour to walk thirteen or fourteen miles, and he had to find a camp with a water source, and he could only travel fifty miles a day.

It is even more impossible to leave grain and fodder, with his reputation in Shanxi, the local government will not give him supplies, and he can only drag grain to fight all the time.

In fact, the reason why the Ming army could not catch up with the rogues was because they had to drag the military rations forward.

Liukou can not want anything, run into the mountains to cut the bark of trees to eat, and also rob all the way, grabbing where to eat.

But the Ming army is not good, the guest army often does not get supplies in the local area, even if the governor and other officials strictly order all places to raise military rations for the army, the local county seats, villages, etc. will still close the city gates, do not give the guest army a step closer, the kind will hang a few bags of grain from the city, and those who are difficult to speak will also fire artillery to attack friendly troops.

Cao Wenzhao was subjected, and when he was chasing Liukou, the army ran out of food, and he wanted to ask for food in the county along the way, but he was killed by the defenders of the city.

Before Lu Xiangsheng killed Julu, he also had a shortage of military food, and begged for food from Zhending Mansion but got nothing, and finally became desperate and fought to the death.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many of the official warehouses and treasury of various prefectures and counties were indeed out of grain, and some prefecture and county governments really couldn't get grain.

However, what those gentry and big families have is food.

They just don't want to donate.

The guest troops who came from all over the country to suppress the bandits basically waited for the governors and supervisors from all over the country to deliver the military rations, and then they would bring the grain to the bandits.

This situation of difficulty in obtaining supplies not only made it impossible to exterminate the rogue bandits, but also easily caused the soldiers to mutiny, so that the generals connived at and even personally led the troops to plunder the people.

Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are the two most typical people who rob the people, these two people are more reckless than Qin Chuan, they rob if they don't agree, Zuo Liangyu is even more self-respecting when he goes to the back, he listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, and was finally booby-trapped by Hong Chengchou.

Qin Chuan naturally will not let go of this opportunity to grab a big account.
