After the herald Zheng Chongjian read out the will, he left the silver, stayed in Miyun for two days, and returned to Beijing to resume his life.

Liu Zhaoji also had to take office immediately, but Yongping Mansion lacked military commanders, and there was a serious shortage of soldiers, so Liu Zhaoji, as the governor, of course, could not go to Yongping alone as a commander, and finally after discussing with Lin Yi, he took away 5,000 generals.

That is to say, now there are a total of 7,000 soldiers and generals guarding the Great Wall in the Miyun area, which are under Lin Yi's dispatch and command.

Lin Yi knew that as a general soldier, it was a lot to be able to command 7,000 generals, especially in this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of soldiers was greatly reduced. Many of the commanders' subordinates sound like a lot, but most of them have water, and they defraud the imperial court of food and wages in order to eat empty salaries, and Lin Yi's 7,000 men and horses are real numbers.

Lin Yi is now the chief soldier, not only has there are 2,000 more generals, but also most of the jurisdictions, in addition to the two 200-mile defense lines on the Great Wall, there is also Miyun City.

But Lin Yi still focused on training, and after two months of rigorous training, the original 5,000 men and horses have entered the state. Now there are 2,000 more, but these 2,000 people are not what they were when they were just transferred, Liu Zhaoji is also famous for his strict management of the army, and during the two months that Lin Yi was training on the Great Wall, Liu Zhaoji was not idle, and he was also training soldiers and horses.

Now Lin Yi asked them to join forces and train according to his set.

Time flies, and a year has passed, that is, in the summer of 1639 AD.

After this year's training, Lin Yi's 7,000 combat effectiveness has soared compared with the original.

But the combat power of these 7,000 men and horses is still not at the same level, Lin Yi's original 2,000 team, that is, the combination of the Guanning Army and the Tianxiong Army, their combat effectiveness was originally very strong, and now after a year of hard training, whether it is collective charge, individual combat, or the use of firearms, there has been a new improvement.

The remaining 5,000 people are basically at one level, this is 5,000 of the 10,000 horses that Emperor Chongzhen transferred to him from other places, military discipline has improved greatly in the past year, and the combat power has also improved, but there is still a certain gap compared with Lin Yi's 2,000 old team.

Lin Yi organized the 2,000 men with the strongest combat effectiveness into the standard battalion, and the remaining 5,000 men and horses into the new training camp.

Of course, the biggest change in the past year is the women's camp.

Don't look at Xiaoying and Zhezhe, there are only 56 people in their battalion, but none of them are weak women now, including the 50 beauties of Zalut, now they can not only sing and dance, please men, they can charge with knives and guns, ride horses, shoot arrows, and play with knives.

And these beautiful girls have naturally shed a lot of blood and sweat for a year, and everyone's complexion is obviously heavy, but the body is still so slim, you can never see it in strange costumes, they are all equipped with martial arts, only in their eyes, it will bring out the killing intention.

The beauty of women can also be reflected from here, that is the unique beauty of women heroes, Lin Yi likes this.

"My lord, we have been practicing for so long, and the Tartars don't dare to attack, and the thieves have been extinguished, what's the use of practicing like this? How long will it take? ”

Xiaoying and Zhezhe both came to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled, "You have also become militants?" But soon, we won't be able to stop for a few days, and the big war is coming. ”

"How did Brother Lin know?" Xiao Ying and Zhezhe looked at each other and thought that Lin Yi was entertaining them.

"This general soldier watched the sky at night, one of the two thieves came from the northeast, and the other came from the southwest, and finally met, which is a great omen." Lin Yi shook his head and shook his head half-truthfully, making Xiaoying and Zhezhe confused about the truth and falsehood.

"If you don't believe it, wait and see, someone Lin's prophecy has never failed."

Xiao Ying and Zhezhe thought about it, Lin Yi was right, and sneered and continued to train female soldiers.

Of course, Lin Yi knew that the reason why the Manchu Tartars had stopped for a year was only a superficial phenomenon, and they were all accumulating strength and brewing a larger-scale battle, that is, the Battle of Songjin, which basically exhausted the elite of the Ming Dynasty.

The domestic thieves are far from being extinguished, but Xiaoying and Zhezhe are far away at the border, and the news is closed and they don't know it. At this time, Li Zicheng had already wandered out of the mountains, hibernate for a year, accumulated enough strength, and was no longer with the original 18 cavalry, but found their old camp and gathered thousands of men and horses, broke through the encirclement and interception of officers and soldiers, and arrived in Henan.

Henan is the place where Li Zicheng made his fortune, this is a province with a large population, the terrible famine is coming, Li Zicheng will also flicker, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan are all competing to give him his life, the free grain is too tempting, the peasants live for a lifetime just for food and land? Li Zicheng is so foolish, who can not follow him!

And Lin Yi also thought about it, that Zhang Xianzhong had been breathing for more than a year, secretly accumulating strength to recruit troops, and at this time he had already revolted in Gucheng, and then quickly returned to Sichuan, and the thieves everywhere made the world of the two of them, and the traitor Yang Sichang who surrendered would be unlucky immediately.

In this way, the Manchu Tartars came from the north, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong came from the southwest, like two big iron tongs, and they were about to get stuck in the neck of the Ming Dynasty.

Within ten days, the holy decree really arrived, and Emperor Chongzhen transferred Lin Yi to follow Zheng Chongjian to Shaanxi to fight. Zheng Chongjian was now promoted to the right attendant of the military department, acting as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and Ding Qirui was the governor of Shaanxi, under their command, there were a total of three general soldiers, namely He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu and Lin Yi, a total of more than 30,000 horses.

Now Hong Chengchou went to Liaodong, the two general soldiers in Shaanxi and Ningxia, Zuo Guangxian and Cao Bianjiao also followed to Liaodong, Shaanxi was empty, and the thieves began to make trouble again, mainly the old Hui Ma Shouying, the stars and the collapse of the sky and other bandits.

Now Sun Chuanting has been arrested and thrown into prison. Emperor Chongzhen hid such a master, which was tantamount to abandoning his martial arts.

Emperor Chongzhen arrested such a main battle faction, of course, to pave the way for secretly negotiating peace with the Manchu Tartars and removing obstacles.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not make a clear statement on this matter, allowing his ministers to guess his thoughts. Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian and Fang Yizao can guess through Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, but these people are all old foxes, old fritters in officialdom, and they pretend to be confused when they see through the emperor's intentions, and the reason is that no one dares to be this urgent vanguard, afraid that Emperor Chongzhen will turn his face in the future and settle accounts with them, and the matter will be delayed, until Li Zicheng pulled up the banner in Henan, and the spark began to burn the plains.

Zhang Xianzhong over there also raised the banner of rebellion in May this year, killed officials and seized the government, responded to Li Zicheng, and now went to Sichuan.

It's terrible. Not only for Emperor Chongzhen, but also for Yang Sichang. The crime of suppressing thieves is not light. More importantly, Zhang Xianzhong, Hong Chengchou did not agree to let Zhang Xianzhong surrender, he advocated that all of them should be killed and no one should be left. However, Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of the five provinces, tried his best to appease Zhang Xianzhong, but Yang Sichang agreed with Xiong Wencan's proposal, and Zhang Xianzhong finally successfully surrendered.

It should be said that Xiong Wencan's ability to appease is very strong, he not only appeased Zhang Xianzhong, but also appeased Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai and other thieves.

How do you know that he Lao Zhang is playing that trick again, surrendering is fake, secretly accumulating strength, and rebelling again is true, and now he is repeating his old tricks, Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai also followed the anti-water, but Xiong Wencan and Yang Sichang were miserable.

Xiong Wencan immediately sent Zuo Liangyu to lead troops to suppress it, who knew that Zuo Liangyu would not give him a long face at a critical time, and he would be defeated by Zhang Xianzhong when he got there.

Emperor Chongzhen was furious and demoted Zuo Liangyu to the deputy chief soldier to observe the after-effects and let him make meritorious contributions. As for Xiong Wencan, he was directly dismissed and put in prison, and his head was cut off the next year.

Then Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered Yang Sichang to personally command the troops and send heavy troops to suppress them, so that the matter of peace talks with Huang Taiji became a cake.

At present, in Henan, Shandong, Huguang, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, the flames of war have broken out again. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong got up, and the thieves lurking in the mountains began to flow again, in addition to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the old Hui Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai, who was known as Cao Cao, were also very strong, and several other thieves such as Guo Tianxing also rose up, and Emperor Chongzhen had to encircle and suppress again, and let Lin Yi go to Shaanxi with Zheng Chongjian and others to fight.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe both gave Lin Yi a thumbs up, "Brother Lin, it's really a god, the observation of celestial phenomena is really accurate!" ”

Of course! Lin Yi smiled, immediately gathered the team, naturally someone in the Miyun region came to take over, Lin Yi took his 7,000 men and horses, including grain, grass and baggage, two days later, left Miyun and headed southwest.......
