At noon, the Tongguan guard was still training recruits on the battlefield as usual, and the small banner of the Ming Dynasty waved the flag and shouted, "The fire gun team raises the gun and prepares (release), and the spear over there is lined up (thorn)." Suddenly, a soldier came running up on horseback and asked in a panic, "Governor, where are you?" Take me to him quickly, I have an urgent military report. ”

So the Ming Dynasty Yi Xiaoqi let the recruits continue to practice, and he led the herald to the stable, and the herald saw the governor of Ming Shaanxi and the general of Ming Yu Linwei, and the commander of Ming Shaanxi, and the two were discussing the matter of horses, and the herald immediately stepped forward to salute the three generals and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, the Liukou invaded Hanzhong Mansion urgently!" The political envoy of Shaanxi Province asked the governor to quickly dispatch troops and horses to rescue Hanzhong Mansion. ”

I couldn't sit still when I learned that the rogue was coming, after all, the last "Battle of Persimmon Garden" revenge has not been avenged! This time, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty planned to save face, so he immediately returned to the barracks to order troops.

Wu Junzhen drank a bag of water and came to the school field with Ma Wei to assemble, the soldiers on both sides of the stage beat the drums heavily, and the soldiers in the audience discussed one by one, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the Governor is going to review us again? ”

And Wu Junzhen whispered, "Everyone, doesn't this formation look like a review?" It's a bit like sending troops? The soldier next to him asked, "Brother, how do you know?" Wu Junzhen said, "I've seen it before." ”

After a while, Mingtong Guan Wei Zhenfu came to the stage and scolded loudly: "All battalions line up, please listen to the lecture of the Governor." ”

I saw the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty wearing a battle robe walked to the stage and didn't know what to say to the soldiers on the left and right? Then 6 soldiers pulled up a cow, a pig, and a sheep, and the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty ordered the Ming Tong Guan Wei General Banner: Huang Lizhong, to kill the three domestic animals with a knife and put the heads in the (簋).

The governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty said, "Soldiers, today I am going to take you out to fight the Liukou, there are a large number of Liukou in the Hanzhong Fu area to invade my Ming territory, we absolutely cannot tolerate the reckless behavior of the Liukou, although the offender of my Ming will be punished." After speaking, let the Ming military gun shoot diagonally towards the sky, which can be regarded as a salute and a sacrificial flag.

Immediately after the Ming Shaanxi Governor hung (Dongfang Wen Marshal) as the commander's banner, led the army from Tongguan Weixi City, from Huayin first to the direction of Xi'an, in order to quickly arrive at the Hanzhong Mansion rescue, the Ming Shaanxi Governor ordered that in addition to changing horses when passing through the official road station, the rest of the soldiers were not allowed to rest and must travel 40 miles a day.

At the same time, General Shun Junquan of Hanzhong Mansion has led troops to surround Nanzheng County, and General Weide of the Shun Army has also joined this Shun army, and has temporarily received a little backup supplement, General Weide of the Shun Army ordered the commander of the left battalion of the Shun Army to surround the two places of Qianhusuo and Baocheng County, so that it can completely cut off the connection between Hanzhongwei and the surrounding areas!

The prefect of the Ming and Han dynasties in the city: He Zhimu, the commander of the Ming and Han Zhongwei: Xia Yi, the two of them were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot, and they kept sending people out of the city to contact the nearby garrisons, but as soon as the herald came out of the city to the edge of the moat, he was shot by the rogue soldiers with bows and arrows!

The Ming army defending the city had no choice but some soldiers began to plan to surrender, and the general Weide of the Shun army sitting in the city felt that he was luring the Ming army to capture the Ming general alive, so he let the former army of the Shun army take charge of the brigade: Ma Wanshan, to the Hanzhong Acropolis within 100 meters of the city to shoot an arrow with a letter, which happened to be found by the Ming and Han Zhongwei commanders when they inspected the city defense, he opened the letter and saw that it was actually a letter of persuasion, which said that if he could return to Dashun, he would be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 50 taels of silver.

This is a great temptation for the Ming general, right? The commander of the Ming and Han Zhongwei was a little moved, but he thought that his family members were in Baocheng, if he surrendered like this, I am afraid that his family members would be destroyed! Therefore, the commander of the Ming and Han Zhongwei decided to observe for a while.

On the other side, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty in order to prevent the fall of Hanzhongfu, he divided his troops in Juxian County to let the Ming Yulin Guard lead the Qin army to lead the Qin army to go first, and ordered the Xi'an avant-garde, Xi'an left guard, Xi'an rear guard, Shenwu right guard, Xi'an right guard, Shenwu avant-garde, Xi'an middle guard, these 7 guards to draw out half of the Ming army as cavalry, after all, the Ming army in Xi'an is familiar with the terrain.

In the Ming Dynasty, the commander of Shaanxi led the 7 guards cavalry of Xi'an, and went south from the direction of Zhongnan Mountain, so as to reduce the pressure on the Hanzhong Mansion.

The rest of the Ming army continued to run and march over the mountains, and most of the Ming soldiers were exhausted! Only Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei didn't feel very struggling because they had walked the mountain road before, but walked faster and faster, walking, and suddenly Ma Wei pointed to the front and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

Wu Junzhen followed his gesture and looked at the past, it turned out to be a river, and the Ming army in the front team also saw this winding and rugged river, and the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty hurriedly asked the general guard of Ming Qinzhou: Zuo Xian, opened the map and inspected the terrain, and the general soldier of Ming Lintao: Niu Chenghu, he proposed, "Your Excellency, our army can take a boat along the Fenshui River south to Hanzhong Mansion, and it can be reached in half an hour at the earliest." ”

Then the governor of Shaanxi ordered the whole army of soldiers to start cutting wood, each battalion of soldiers must be able to cut wood at least 5 boats, after the order was issued, the soldiers have drawn their swords and cut down big trees in the jungle, and some soldiers are responsible for using ropes to lasso the trees, and pull hard to the open space to ensure that the trees fall in no one's place.

At this moment, Wu Junzhen is also swinging a knife to chop down the big tree, which looks very difficult! And Ma Wei thought for a while and decided to use a long knife to cut wood, after all, there was no saw in the army, so he could only use a long knife, pulling back and forth to slowly cut the big tree.

When the time came, basically the soldiers of each battalion made boats, and each carried the boat to the river to board the boat, and the governor of Shaanxi in the main boat saw that everyone was tired, and it was almost time to eat, so he ordered the soldiers of each battalion to eat dry food on the boat, and after everyone was full, they divided their manpower and took turns on duty to check where the ship went.

Among them, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei were divided into the hands of the people on duty, they were the first batch of soldiers on duty, Wu Junzhen walked out of the cabin and sat on the bow of the ship looking at the starry sky in a daze, Ma Wei came over and sat next to him and looked at it and asked, "This time we will go out to fight against Liukou, Brother Wu, do you think you have a chance of winning?" Wu Junzhen turned his head to look at him and said, "Liukou? Is there still a rogue in this Ming Dynasty? ”

I heard that Wu Junzhen didn't understand what (Liukou) meant! Ma Wei had no choice but to explain, "Oh, it's just a group of rebels against the imperial court, and it's to blame Your Majesty for not handling things properly today!" Wu Junzhen felt incredible after hearing this? Then he continued to ask, "Brother Ma, what's going on?" Can you tell us about it? ”

So Ma Wei told the ins and outs, as early as the first year of Ming Chongzhen in 1628, due to the severe drought in Shaanxi Chengxuan, coupled with the locust plague, I was afraid that the people would starve to death countless times! First of all, the residents of Baishui County: Wang Er, gathered a crowd to rebel and attacked Xiaotong Township under the jurisdiction of Pucheng County, and Zichuan County in Hancheng Prefecture.

Then the residents of Fugu County: Wang Jiayin, and the residents of Yichuan County: Wang Zuolu, these two people also successively rebelled against the residents of Ansai County: Gao Yingxiang, and the residents of Hanyang Prefecture: Wang Daliang, and they jointly responded to the anti-Ming Dynasty, Gao Yingxiang claimed to be (King Chuang), and Wang Daliang claimed to be (King of Liang), thus revealing the beginning of the peasant rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

It just so happened that at that time, Shaanxi Cheng announced that the important town of Guyuan Wei was not paid due to the lack of pay of the border army, and there were peasant rebellions against the Ming army, not only did not suppress it, but participated in the robbery of Guyuan Wei's treasury money and food, after the incident, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty: Hu Tingyan, the governor of Ming Yulinwei: Yue Hesheng, just blamed each other and did not report to the court in time, causing more Ming troops to join the rebellion!

However, this stream of rogue was temporarily pacified by the governor of the three sides of Ming and Shaanxi: Yang He, who led the army to encircle and suppress it.

Until the second year of Ming Chongzhen in 1629 His Majesty listened to the Ming Hu Branch to the matter: Liu Mao, the advice of the play was removed (all over the country) minus unnecessary expenses to enrich the treasury, which Ming Ningxia Wei Yinchuan County post pawn: Li Zicheng, is one of them He was expelled from the imperial court, and then joined the army Shanxi Xingdu Division by the Ming Ganzhou Left Guard General: Kingdom, promoted to Ming Ganzhou Left Guard General: Li Zicheng.

But because of the discord over the issue of military salaries, he killed the Ming Ganzhou Zuowei general, fled east and joined his uncle Chuang Wang: Gao Yingxiang, his subordinates were the generals: Li Zicheng, since then he has been in the army and has repeatedly made military exploits, to the third year of Ming Chongzhen in 1630 AD Zhang Xianzhong also gathered 18 villages in his hometown Mizhi County to rebel and join the army.

Subsequently, in the eighth year of Ming Chongzhen in 1635 AD, the soldiers of 13 families and 72 battalions of the army were killed under the leadership of King Chuang to the territory of Si Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili, and killed the Ming Dynasty to stay in the capital: Zhu Guoxiang, in order to cut off the gas of the Ming Empire, the soldiers also dug up the Ming Taizu Wu King Hongwu Gao Emperor: Zhu Yuanzhang, the "Ming Filial Piety Mausoleum", and erected the (Gulong Zhenyuan Emperor) banner in the Imperial Mausoleum, representing the inheritance of the Han Song Xiaoming King: Han Lin'er, the meaning of the regime.

Immediately met the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial court mobilized the five governors of the Ming Dynasty: Hong Chengchou, led the Central Plains five Chengxuan Zhengsi troops to storm the Liukou, but the Ming Datong General Army: Cao Wenzhao, hesitated when the Hanzhong Mansion attacked the army, the battle line was stretched too long, and he was unfortunately besieged by the Liukou and died!

Until the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in 1636 AD, the Ming military department Shangshu: Yang Sichang, and the Ming five governors: Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty: Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty: Sun Chuanting, the governor of Ming Xuanda: Lu Xiangsheng, together surrounded and suppressed the Liukou and beat the army to flee, and the Ming army also captured the king of Chuang: Gao Yingxiang, and sent him to the imperial capital Forbidden City to be executed, and then Li Zicheng inherited (King Chuang).
