Li Yan ordered that everyone should register and make a book, and Qin Jun's silver is not something that can be taken casually, it must be someone who really wants to follow, once it is found that someone is fraudulently claiming, and he takes the silver but does not want to leave, the consequences are very serious.

The people registered their names one after another, and then Li Yan told them to go home and pack their bags, and the next afternoon, they could leave. [No pop-ups. When they left, they were given money to each person.

Not only in Pingliang City, Li Yan also sent cavalry out of the city to the surrounding villages and towns to post notices, so in the past two days, there was an endless stream of people who came to register, and by noon the next day, there were more than 10,000 people on the roster.

At this time, Bai Qi also finished packing up the money and grain in the city, Li Yan came to him, and when he told him about it, Bai Qi smiled: "I only got a total of 8,000 taels of silver in Pingliang City, more than 10,000 people, not enough to share." ”

Li Yan said: "It doesn't matter, you can divide it first, and if you don't get it, you will give it to Meixian County." ”

Bai Qi said indifferently: "That's not necessary. Saying that, he whispered an order to a personal soldier, who nodded and went, and after a while, dozens of Qin soldiers came on horseback, and when they came closer, they brought down a few boxes from their horses.

When I opened it, I saw that there was white silver inside. There are three or four thousand taels.

Li Yan looked at Bai Qi: "Robbed?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Yes, the rich families in the city, the money in their families, they were all obtained by exploiting the people, and now they are returned to the people, which is right." ”

Li Yan smiled helplessly and didn't say anything. He knew very well that at this time, it could only be like this, it was already very good not to kill these rich families, and if he wanted to change the peasant army, the whole family would be slaughtered and the family property would be robbed.

At dusk that day, the whole army was assembled and prepared to return to Shaanxi. The people also came, and the black pressed a large area, all staring at Li Yan outside the city gate with eager eyes.

At this time, Li Yan was standing at the gate of the city, and there were twenty large bills in front of him, on which were placed white flowers of silver, which had been divided into about one or two pieces of broken silver. Twenty Qin soldiers stood behind the case, ready to hand out silver.

Bai Qi ordered Wang Bao to take a thousand people as a vanguard and go out of the city first, and after they passed, Li Yan began to distribute the silver according to the roster.

The people were divided into twenty teams, received the silver from the Qin army, and then went out of the city and followed the Qin army into Shaanxi.

Before nightfall, more than 10,000 people got the silver and happily marched with the Qin army.

After Bai Qi broke off with Li Yan, this group of people was a thousand Qin troops in front, more than 10,000 people in the middle, and four thousand Qin troops in the back.

Let's talk about the Red Lady's side, since Li Yan invited her to go out and train the Women's Army, the Red Lady has really worked hard. She and Xiaoqing posted recruitment notices all over Xi'an City the next day, and also sent people out of the city quickly and posted notices to several surrounding counties and towns.

These places are in the hands of the Qin army, and there are many people.

This incident soon caused a sensation in Xi'an City, because since ancient times, the matter of women joining the army has been very new, like Hua Mulan and the like, it is only a woman dressed as a man, and she is alone, and it is very rare to really organize girls to be soldiers. That's why everyone laughed about it.

The Red Lady and Xiaoqing have already done it once in Huayin City, and this time they are familiar with the road, and they sent people to set up recruitment offices and statisticians in the four urban districts of Xi'an.

Originally, they thought that not many people would come, after all, Xi'an is not like Huayin, Xi'an is a big place, there are far more people in the market than those who are farmers, and most of those girls are pampered and can't be soldiers at all.

But to the surprise of the two, after the recruitment notice was posted, there was an endless stream of women who came from all over the country to join the army. Most of them are women between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and some are thirteen or fourteen years old, and many of them come to serve as soldiers because the men in their families have died, and it is difficult for them to live alone, and they have been bullied by officials and soldiers or thieves, and they hate these people in their hearts.

Ji Mengdie also came to the recruiting center, she looked at these girls one by one, and shook her head slightly, because she saw that these ** multi-faceted yellow muscles were thin and malnourished. Weak constitution.

So he sneered at the red lady twice: "Such a woman, she can't even hold a knife steadily, how can she be a soldier?" ”

The red lady glanced at her and remained silent: "Many of them haven't eaten a full meal, and they can't take it if they change you." ”

Ji Mengdie stared at the red lady: "Then you'd better feed them in the shortest possible time." He flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Xiaoqing looked at her back and snorted: "Isn't it just relying on the king?" I'm not afraid of you. ”

The red lady said: "You're right, but it's not good for us to turn against her." If you can make do with it, make do with it, don't let Li Gongzi worry about it. ”

After five days of hard work, more than 400 people were recruited, and the Red Lady and Xiaoqing proposed to the King of Qin to set up another camp, and it was far away from the Qin army camp. The distance between the two battalions can reduce a lot of incidents. The king of Qin agreed, and the Qin army camp was in the east of the city, so he set up a small camp in the west of the city.

The red lady settled these people here, ate three full meals, let them eat and drink enough, grow their spirits, and then train.

Ji Mengdie also came to the camp from time to time to visit, and had a few words with the red lady, and then walked away.

After three days, the girls had eaten well and slept well, and their faces were glowing and flushed. The red lady knows that it's time for these girls to loosen their muscles.

She took hundreds of swords and crossbows from her arsenal, and then thought that the girl couldn't pull the strings of such a long-range weapon as the bow and crossbow, so she sent them back. The main thing is to let them practice swords, this thing is easy for women to use.

The Qin army made a big fuss in Gansu, killed as fierce as a tiger, and planned to seize Pingliang City, and immediately reported to the court.

Chongzhen read the report, furious, while angrily denouncing the incompetence of the Gansu defenders, and on the other hand, urgently ordered several important towns in Gansu, Tianshui Lanzhou and other places, to recruit strong men, strictly defend, if anyone loses the city again, immediately beheaded.

He had the intention to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Qin army, but at the moment, several of his most capable commanders, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, were chasing and suppressing the peasant army in the Central Plains, and they were unable to divide the troops. And the armies on the three sides cannot be mobilized, and they have to guard against the Manchurian Tartars. As for the men and horses on the ground in Gansu, they are all the elite of Gansu led by fierce tigers, and almost all the troops were wiped out in one battle, and the remaining officers and soldiers still have concerns about self-protection, and they can't go to the thieves at all.

At this time, Chongzhen felt that the sky was about to fall, the ancestral tomb was destroyed, Cao Wenzhao was killed, and Gansu became like this again, Gao Yingxiang and others crisscrossed the Central Plains, lawless, invincible, and if it goes on like this, the Ming Dynasty is really going to end.

But no one thought that the Ming Dynasty would soon usher in a turning point in such a dilapidated situation, and the appearance of this turning point was so sudden and unpredictable.

That night, in Huayin City, in the inner hall of the county government, the lights were bright, and the three of them were sitting here, discussing something.

The leader is Ziyi, and his two subordinates are capable of doing things, Li Congzhou and Su Dan.

Ziyi was saying: "I just got the news of the Qin army, Bai Qi and Li Yan led the men and horses, broke into the border of Gansu, slashed as fierce as a tiger, planned to take Pingliang City, and killed the officials and soldiers in Gansu, and tens of thousands of people followed the Qin army to Shaanxi. ”

Su Dan frowned: "If this is really the case, the strength of the Qin army will be much stronger." ”

Ziyi said: "Yes, the new policy implemented by King Qin is very powerful, he rules that within three years, no taxes will be collected, no money and grain will be paid, which is too attractive to the people." If we let the Qin army continue to develop like this, our room for maneuver will become smaller and smaller, and our status will become lower and lower. ”

Li Congzhou snorted: "Let's also recruit troops and expand our strength." ”

Ziyi shook his head: "It's too simple to think, King Qin asked Shehuai to guard Tongguan, and didn't let me guard it, obviously he didn't believe me anymore, at this time we were sandwiched between Xi'an and Tongguan, secretly training people and horses, once they knew it, we would die immediately without a place to bury." ”

Li Congzhou said: "Then what should I do?" ”

Ziyi sneered: "Since King Qin doesn't believe me, then let's find someone who believes in me." It seems that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't pay much attention to me, and we need to find another backer in the official army. ”

Su Dan said: "But apart from Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, who else has this strength?" ”

Ziyi took out a strip of cloth from his arms and handed it to the two: "This is what Mr. Fan Ju just sent today." He has already found a person, this person is definitely powerful, in his opinion, this person's ability is still above Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng. ”

Su Dan sighed, took the strip of cloth and looked at it, frowned, and said, "It turned out to be him?" You know, this person doesn't have any army, and he hasn't fought a decent battle, how do you know that he is capable? ”

Ziyi said: "Mr. Fan said that he can do it, then he will definitely do it." As for saying that he has no military exploits and no people, it is also true. So another letter from Mr. Fan proposes a plan for us to give a big gift to this person. ”

Li Cong was stunned on Monday: "Gift-giving? Do you want to give him money and let him go to the court to do some work so that he can be promoted? ”

Ziyi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's useless to give him silver right now, what I want to give him is much better than silver." ”

Li Congzhou said: "What is that?" Belle? ”

Ziyi sneered: "What do you know besides gold and silver beauties?" ”

Li Congzhou smiled embarrassedly: "I think the officials like these things." ”

Ziyi said: "What I want to give him is a great credit. ”

Su Dan suddenly realized: "Do you want to cooperate with him to seize Xi'an City?" Ziyi shook his head: "Xi'an is difficult to fight, besides, the King of Qin doesn't believe in me anymore, he will definitely be wary of me everywhere, as long as there is any change in Shaanxi, it will definitely be discovered, therefore, we can't fight the Qin army." ”

Li Congzhou said: "Then who are we going to fight?" ”

Ziyi didn't answer, stared at the window, and said word for word: "Win Zheng, I have been suppressed for too long and too long, from now on, it's time for me Ziyi to play." All of you, sooner or later, you're going to learn my awesome......"
