In response to the grim situation in the northwest direction, Beijing responded very quickly, among which the first batch of troops to come to Qin was Wang Jinbao's headquarters originally stationed in the direction of Ordos, the predecessor of this force was the horse team of the puppet Qing Ganshan battalion, although it finally surrendered to the Lin Han Empire and was reorganized into the Seventh Army of the Han Cavalry, but after all, it was inextricably linked with Daniel Zhang's department, so after receiving the order to open at this moment, the Seventh Cavalry Army immediately opened its entire army, and the forward brigade arrived in Xi'an in only six days.

However, at this moment, the war in Hanzhong is in full swing, and more than 60,000 people from the Shaanxi Ma Harrier Department have launched a full-scale attack on northern Sichuan.

Like other warlord troops of this era, Ma Harrier's army still retains the habits of many peasant armies, and although its troops are famous in the southwest and northwest regions, there is still a considerable gap between them and the Han army in terms of military system.

This unit is said to be "more than 60,000 people" in the whole army, but in fact it can fight only about 30,000 people at most, including about 6,000 cavalry, and there are very few artillery. In addition to these combat soldiers, the remaining 30,000 people are divided into "old battalions (officers' dependents)", "grain battalions (logistics and transportation)", "craftsman battalions (military technicians)" and other staff, Qingke and other idle people, outsiders, almost like an independent and integrated miniature society, generally speaking, this kind of unit has a strong internal cohesion, once a war breaks out, in a short period of time, almost without the help of any external force, independent operation, and can maintain considerable combat effectiveness. The weaknesses are also obvious: the body is large and bloated, the movement is slow, the damage area is large, and because of blood, clan, in-law or association, etc., it is easy to produce various mountains and factions inside, which affects the efficiency of military mobilization.

In this era, most of the green camp Han 'traitor' troops belonging to the puppet Qing Dynasty are like this, compared with the green battalion troops of later generations, it is obviously much more 'chaotic', but this is also a major 'color' of the Kangxi era, itself has a deep historical origin: in the entire puppet Qing colonial regime, the Han 'traitor' camp is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, among which the most closely related to the Eight Banners Colonial Army is the Han formed outside the Guan' in the Huang Taiji era The second level of the Han 'traitor' army is the Green Battalion Han Army, which was absorbed, organized, and trained by the puppet Qing Dynasty after the occupation of Beijing, and the members of this kind of unit come from complex sources, but most of them are the broken Ming army or Li Zicheng's peasant army, and there are many veterans, and the middle and low-level officers have considerable military experience. After the vigorous integration of the puppet Qing regime, its combat effectiveness was considerable; The third level of Han 'traitor' troops is the regular army of the Southern Ming Dynasty that was incorporated during the southern invasion after the puppet Qing Dynasty unified the northern region, the army of Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, and the troops of the Southwest Sun and Li peasant armies that were scattered and surrendered one after another.

The troops of the Ma Harrier Wang Fuchen belonged to the second rank of the Han 'traitor' troops. Wang Fuchen himself was born in the end of the year, first for the peasant rebels who resisted the oppression of the Ming Dynasty, and then defected to the Qing court after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and in the early war years of the Qing Dynasty, with the rhythm of the surging national war, led the army in Datong anyway, and surrendered again after the defeat, if history came to an abrupt end, then this northwest warrior may have to spend his life in a slave camp, but the Chinese political situation has always been so gorgeous and changeable, when Dolgon died, the pseudo-Shunzhi Emperor Fu Lin pro-government, in order to grasp power, Emperor Shunzhi and the Hou Party of Xiaozhuang wantonly squeezed out the officers of the Dolgon faction, and there was a small vacuum in the camp of the puppet Qing officers, and at that time Sun Kehua, Li Dingguo, and Zheng Chenggong in South China were in full swing in the war against the Qing Dynasty, and in desperation, the Qing court had to search everywhere and enable a large number of unambitious officers to enrich the military camp, wooed Wu Ministry's hardcore pro-Qing Dynasty, and at the same time was responsible for monitoring the movements of Wu Sangui's department.

In the more than ten years of Shunzhi's rule, Ma Harrier has been dancing on the two 'chicken' eggs of Wu Sangui and the Qing court, because of the appropriate measures and smooth political attitude, he actually won the trust of Shunzhi and Wu Sangui respectively, so as to attack Li Dingguo in the southwest and make great contributions in the Qing-Burma War.

From the perspective of the Lin Han Empire, Wang Fuchen is a person who cannot be trusted, but it is worth exploiting - in fact, in Wang Fuchen's own decades of military career, he mostly appeared in this guise, although he was both unwilling and helpless. Life is so contradictory, as a soldier, he must be loyal and hot-blooded, but as a politician, he must be cunning and multilateral, so as to ensure the survival of tens of thousands of subordinates who follow him.

This is true of most of the high-ranking military officers in Chinese history, who are both soldiers and politicians, and in the course of their lives, they are full of resentment and reluctance, and they are always helpless.

The whole political environment is like this, it doesn't matter if the general doesn't understand the military, but it is very dangerous if he doesn't understand politics, so for thousands of years, fools like Yue Fei have always been very few.

Although the Han army did not trust him, it rarely doubted the sincerity of his surrender, and this political tacit understanding brought great convenience to the military cooperation between the two sides, and when the matter was defeated and the Sichuan governor Zhou deployed Wang Pingfan in northern Sichuan, Ma Harrier's headquarters actually launched an attack on the Sichuan plank road without informing Daniel Zhang of Xi'an, seizing various dangerous passes, and the rear bordered the Han army troops' Although the Southern Zhou army in Sichuan was hastily mobilized, it was not a front-line combat force in the end, and the preparation, armament and supply work had not been perfected, although the Zhou general Wang Pingfan had made his best efforts, but the army assembly movement scattered throughout Sichuan was not possible in a short time, so in the first ten years after the war began, the meritorious Wang Fuchen's department moved quickly, Successfully cleared the plank road into Sichuan, and conquered Guangyuan, a military town in northern Sichuan, and the division of Wang Jizhen also went around Daba Mountain, conquered Yunyang, and peeked into Chongqing.

At this time, the Seventh Cavalry Corps of the front of the Western Advance Corps of the Han Dynasty had taken over the defense of Xi'an, and the Fifth Army of the Ma Ying Cavalry and the First Army of the Rick Guards Infantry were arriving on Pegasus, while the Seventh and Tenth Armies of the Han Infantry under Daniel Zhang also converged with the main forces of Wang Fuchen's troops in Guangyuan, opening up and strengthening the boardwalk into the river all the way, preparing the grain road station, and at the same time Pegasus Beijing to urge the supply of grain and straw.

In the last round of military operations, nearly 100,000 troops under the command of Daniel Zhang and Wang Fuchen of the Han army moved on all fronts, almost exhausting all the heavy accumulation of the Northwest Front of the empire in a short period of time, and before obtaining new material replenishment, the army was simply unable to launch a new round of large-scale attacks on Sichuan.

For the Lin Han Empire's almost shameless sudden declaration of war, the reaction of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was shocking, at this time the entire Southern Dynasty has been divided into three major parts: the Imperial Sun faction, the crown prince faction and the neutral faction, almost all of them do not report hope for their future, how long can the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty be fought has become the mainstream topic in the Jiangnan region, but it is gratifying that this doomed short-lived dynasty has actually emerged a group of loyal and insightful people at such a critical time, they are running up and down left and right, Urging the two sides of the imperial family vying for the throne to stop the civil war, reunite their power, and fight against the powerful enemies of the north is fair to say, from the perspective of the Southern Zhou, this is indeed the only way to avoid annihilation, but unfortunately, this kind of rhetoric is almost ignored by anyone.

During the period when the Han army launched the Southwest War, the Southern Zhou Civil War officially kicked off, and the army of the crown prince and the imperial grandson had fought two vicious battles in Hunan, and both sides suffered a lot of losses, and now they are holding their breath and preparing to continue to fight, so it is obviously unrealistic to ask who to withdraw from the competition for the throne at this time, and even if a certain member of the royal family finds out that he has a great understanding, he cannot be allowed to give up himself, you must know that the soldiers who follow and support them are not one or two, but thousands of people, if they withdraw rashly, which is tantamount to committing collective suicide to these loyal subordinates.

Therefore, in response to the blatant invasion of the Lin Han Empire, both sides of the civil war invariably expressed their silence, and at a glance, they seemed to recognize the statement that "Wang Ping Fan rebelled and rebelled against itself, and the Han Dynasty was indignantly reprimanded", but only the Zhou general Gao Dajie, who was sitting in Jiangxi, made some discordant voices, thinking that the Han Dynasty should not take advantage of the fire to rob, and immediately mobilized the troops under his command to prepare to intervene in the anti-Han war in Sichuan.

It's a pity that this voice didn't set off much of a 'wave' and 'flower', to be honest, Gao Dajie is indeed a good person with good quality and righteousness, but the strength is really small, Jiangxi is not the territory of the Southern Zhou Dynasty at this time, the province is full of large and small warlords, and the total number of Gao Dajie is less than 20,000 people, and the original task given by Wu Sangui is only vigilance and defense, garrisoning the outermost defense line of the Southern Zhou Empire.

Despite this, the Fourth Army of the Han Infantry Army, which was adjacent to the Anhui border, still mobilized the whole army and issued a war warning to Beijing, but this warning was obviously not heeded by the General Staff.

After a year of breeding and breeding, the prince of the Han Dynasty has successfully transformed from a mass of 'meat' to a sturdy limb and a clear face of the preparatory prince, this process is actually not easy, at least hundreds of eunuch palaces up and down the Han Palace' This is the view of the old woman, this year is really an extremely dangerous year, with the breath of the little highness, these hundreds of respectable childcare staff almost every moment to hang their hearts and livers on the tip of their throats, if investigated, the main responsible person for such worries is the first minister of the Han Dynasty, Lord Li Guangdi, when the little prince landed, this hateful-faced, a moldy old guy left a cruel word to everyone: said that if the little prince has three long and two short, then all the nursery staff will be buried together.

From a legal point of view, this matter should belong to the family affairs of the King of Han, even if Lord Li Guangdi has no right to intervene as the supreme head of the government, in fact, Lin Feng himself is unlikely to issue such an inhumane order, but at this time, no one dares to question Lord Li's order, although these eunuch palace 'women' and old grandmothers have had countless discussions in private, thinking that Li Xiangye has no courage to kill the palace people, because although everyone has a humble status, they are "close ministers of the Son of Heaven" after all, and killing them is tantamount to rebellion, but- What if? Although Li Xiangye is indeed not a handsome man, if he must pick a few hundred heads, it is not a very difficult thing.

In view of the major historical event of the first birthday of the eldest son of the Han Dynasty, the Lin Han Empire once again set a small precedent, according to the collegial decision of the imperial court, after the first year of the little prince, he will be officially awarded the title of "Prince of the Han Dynasty", and imitate the example of the East Palace, move into Beppu, and put away the official positions of driving, engagement, master and horse washing, and form a set of administrative system, which is the unpredictable prince of the Han Dynasty.

This practice is not in history, and there is no basis in the "Zhou Li", according to the tacit understanding and habits formed by the Chinese dynasties for thousands of years, there is no need for the prince to open the mansion, and wait until the father hangs up and directly replaces it, and even if it is in accordance with the procedure for the canonization of the prince, it must at least wait until the prince has the initial learning ability. However, the big Han couldn't wait at this time, at this time Lin Xuan's popularity in the imperial court was too high, although he was only one year old, but a large number of subordinate officials such as Taifu, 'attendant' reading, companion reading, and escort around him were already full, and most of them were "pillars of the imperial court and pillars of the country", and in the internship last year, they showed loyalty and dedication impeccable, especially worthy of praise is Ma Cheng, the son of General Ma Ying, and Zhang Qian, the son of General Daniel Zhang, The two adults are only six months old, and they have already taken on the responsibility of protecting the little prince, and every day they are carried by the 'milk' mother to Zhongnanhai to report on time, as the entourage of the little prince, they lie on the cradle next door to eat and sleep together.

Such an important event naturally caused a sensation, and the momentum almost exceeded the recent Northwest War, in addition to the surrounding friendly neighbors, people from all over the empire who thought they had heads and faces came to congratulate with heavy gifts, many of which were well-known, but when it came to identity and background, the current Cao Gang leader Niu Qianyu was the most interesting.
