Chapter 228: Two Years [Second Shift]

Time flies, and two years have passed in an instant. Now it is the fourth year of Hongguang and the 16th and 48th year of the Gregorian calendar. Because of the relationship between Liu Xia, the Hongguang regime that only existed for less than two years in history now still exists in Nanjing, the Hongguang Emperor is still addicted to wine, and the ministers are also exploiting the people, indulging in their own fantasies of the peaceful era, the entire Nanjing Imperial Palace can be described as singing and dancing, the wine pond meat forest, as if the business, so that the people oppressed dare not speak, every day a large number of people secretly run to Henan from the jurisdiction of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

During the past two years, the land of China has been relatively calm, and the major forces have been busy recuperating and recuperating, although there have been small frictions and the territory of great power has been expanding, but there have been no major wars. Without the warlords fighting in large numbers, the people were rarely stable.

Over the course of two years, Liu Xia digested most of Shaanxi's state capitals and sent past officials to manage them. During this period, the 5,000 Iron Eagle Guards led by Niu Chao and Shang Chuang encountered some trouble when they regained Gansu Town in Shaanxi Xingdusi, and almost wiped out the whole army, and finally led more than 2,000 people back to Shaanxi in embarrassment. Niu Chao was immediately dismissed from the position of commander, and Niu Chao took over the position of head of Jiang Xinluoyang Garrison Regiment.

This time, the two of them had different tasks, the Iron Fist Brigade numbered 8,000 and was mainly responsible for the attack on the Qiang and Tatars, and the Iron Eagle Guard was responsible for the attack of the Han regime inside Gansu Town, and at the same time, if Gansu Town was completely taken, the Iron Fist Brigade would go to Hamiwei, and the Iron Eagle Guard would guard Gansu Town. At the same time, Jiang Xin was promoted to Yangwei School.

Due to the excellent performance of Zhang Yang and others, Liu Xia appointed Zhang Yang as the Yangwei School, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction became Fengxiangwei, Zhang Yang as the commander, and at the same time appointed Guo Min, the deputy captain of the Guards, as the deputy commander, and Yang Yongxiao. The number was expanded to 5,000 people. Continue through the grasslands.

He went to the Aoki River to take over the jurisdiction of the Xiongshi Brigade, and the Xiongshi Brigade returned to Shaanxi to take charge of the Tatar defense and attack in northern Shaanxi.

In the west and north of Liu Xia's jurisdiction, there are a total of 34,000 men and horses in the west and north of the area. However, a year later, Liu Xia formed Long Xiangwei and re-appointed Niu Chao as the commander, and Li Mingran, the new deputy captain of the guards, served as the deputy commander and awarded the rank of Yang Yong School. Assemble 5,000 men and horses, go to Shandong to announce the political envoy department, and recover Yanzhou Mansion and the northern area of Dongchang Mansion. The Qing army did not move, and most of the troops were still entrenched in Beizhili.

At the same time, the Tiger Brigade in the north of Henan Weihui Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Huaiqing Mansion were also completely occupied, and Liu Xia sent the county prefect and formed various local garrison regiments. The Daimyo's Mansion was also included in the Tiger Ben Brigade, and at this time, a large number of troops of the Tiger Ben Brigade were in the Daimyo's Mansion and the Zhangde Mansion. At the same time, Zhang Yuan, the commander of the Huben Brigade, was awarded the Circumvention Cavalry School, and the deputy commander Shao Hua was awarded the Yangwei School.

The Leopard Cavalry Brigade located in the east directly governed the eastern area of Fengxiang Province, and at the same time split the Leopard Cavalry Brigade into two parts, one was still the Leopard Cavalry Brigade, and Zhang Liang was still the commander of the Leopard Cavalry Brigade and was awarded the Circumvention Cavalry School. At the same time, Li Guo, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Pro-Guard Brigade, was promoted to deputy commander and awarded Yangwei School.

At this point, Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, except for Xinyang Prefecture and other places occupied by Wu Sangui, all other places were completely controlled by Liu Xia.

In addition to the troops in the west and northwest, the troops in other places have a total of pro-guard brigades, tiger brigades, leopard cavalry brigades, wolf howling brigades, dragon guards, thousand cow guards, and sky wolf guards. A total of 47,000 men. The strength of all battle sequences, plus the 1,000-numbered Eagle Guard, totaled 82,000 men, and the local garrison regiments in each province were not counted.

A few months after Kou Baimen gave birth to Bian Yujing, he gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the boy Liu Xia named Liu An, and the girl named Liu Ying. The following year, Liu Rushi also followed and left a son, who was named Liu Wen. Chen Yuanyuan, who was raised by Liu Xia in a residential campus in Luoyang, was not pregnant because Liu Xia took proper precautions, and Liu Xia did not make it public. During this time, Liu Xia was fortunate to have a few roommates, but they did not come out, because Liu Ru was left with a child for Liu Xia, so Feng Liu Ru was the side concubine.

The Qing army in the north did not make much movement, and still firmly guarded Jinan Mansion and North Zhili. At the same time, part of the prince Baylor retreated to Liaodong. And Wu Sangui took advantage of the weak strength of the Southern Ming court and could not control most of the south, so Wu Sangui took the opportunity to occupy Jiangxi and Guangxi. Shang Kexi, on the other hand, occupies Yunnan, Guizhou. Zhang Xianzhong continued to hide in Sichuan.

In the past two years, although the various forces on the land of China have not changed their cards repeatedly, the territories under their jurisdiction are slightly different. The Qing army in the north still occupied most of the north, including Beizhili, most of Shandong, Inner Mongolia, and Liaodong. Most of Shanxi. Liu Xia occupies a small part of Henan and Shandong, and a part of Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili. Shaanxi, Gansu town and other places. Wu Sangui occupies half of Huguang, as well as Jiangxi and Guangxi. Shang Kexi occupies the other half of Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. Zhang Xianzhong is still Sichuan. The saddest thing is Nanming, most of Nanming's territory was divided between Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

As for Fujian, although Guangdong nominally belongs to them, the local royal squires do not actually buy it, and the taxes are not paid. In the past two years, Nanming has continuously sent grain, grass, silver, silver coins, beauties, etc. to Wu Sangui, but after Wu Sangui collected his things, he stationed troops in Luzhou Mansion in a few months, looking like he was about to capture it, and Nanming would cooperate to send a large number of beauties and silver, and then Wu Sangui withdrew. This has been staged several times, and the food and grass in Nanming Lane are scarce, and the people are miserable.

Because the silver coins created by Liu Xia are easy to circulate, many places are now popular to create silver coins, among which the areas under Liu Xia are silver coins of Liu Xia's big head, the Nanzhili area is the silver coin of Hongguang Emperor's big head, the area under the jurisdiction of Wu Sangui prints Wu Datou silver coins, Shang Kexi has jurisdiction over the area, and Shang Datou silver coins are printed, and Zhang Xianzhong's Sichuan has also followed suit.
