Lin Yi asked Zhang Hua to escort Sun Chuanting away, and his heart was relaxed, and he was reasonable, which was worthy of him.

Lin Yi began to be busy in the following days, this major battle won three times a day, many post-war matters have not been dealt with, the battlefield has not been cleaned, the corpses have not been buried, the wounded and sick still have to be treated, and more importantly, the trophies and prisoners.

The whole army was tens of thousands of horses and horses, and it was busy for a whole month. It took five or six days just to bury the corpses in these battlefields, not to mention treating the wounded, and it took several days to count the loot and put it into storage.

Then there's the matter of dealing with the captives.

In these battles, more than 40,000 men and horses captured Li Zicheng alone.

For these more than 40,000 people, Lin Yi was classified and processed in accordance with the previous policy, and more than 20,000 people were included in Lin Yi's team after a certain procedure.

Coupled with the more than 4,000 Qin troops given to him by Sun Chuanting, Lin Yi's current number of men and horses has exceeded 100,000, which is directly under his command, and there is no water at all, but the real number.

However, the most important result of this battle was that Lin Yi got more than 4,000 Qin troops from Sun Chuanting, and after these young men kept up, they would have already been alive and well.

In order to thank Sun Chuanting for his kindness, Lin Yi independently organized his more than 4,000 people into a battalion and named it the Invincible Battalion. This invincible is, of course, Sun Chuanting's nickname, to commemorate and respect, and does not mean to belittle other battalion generals.

After the reorganization was completed, Lin Yi trained people on the spot. With so many troops added at once, it must be digested and digested, just like eating, it is not enough to just eat in the stomach, it must be digested and absorbed before it can become its own energy.

First of all, the most important thing is military discipline, which is also the biggest difference between other people's teams and Lin Yi's team. Now that it has been incorporated by Lin Yi, of course it must be carried out in accordance with Lin Yi's army discipline.

As a special soldier in later generations, he certainly knew the importance of military discipline, which is the soul of the army and the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

A team's combat effectiveness can be poor, but discipline cannot be bad. The combat effectiveness is poor, and it can be improved through exercise. But bandits are poorly disciplined, especially in these troubled times.

After more than ten days of rectification, these newly joined centaurs, whether they were Qin Jun or Li Zicheng's centaurs, had completed the transformation to Lin Yi's men and horses in terms of discipline.

On this day, Lin Yi was practicing swords, and all battalions were training men, including the women's battalion.

Suddenly, the decree came. Lin Yi hurriedly took the angel officer Li Wenhai into the camp.

As soon as they saw him, Li Wenhai knelt down for Lin Yi first, which startled Lin Yi.

Li Wenhai is the head of the military department, and now he is an angel official, and the angel official transmits the decree, representing the emperor's personal arrival, how can there be an angel official who kneels down to the person receiving the decree with the holy decree, which one is singing?

"Lord Li, who are you?"

Not only Lin Yi was puzzled, but all the generals present were also stunned.

"Lord Lin, you will know after receiving the order."

Li Wenhai finished bowing to Lin Yi, and then began to read out the holy decree, and Lin Yi arranged the incense case and knelt down to receive the decree.

Li Wenhai unfolded the decree and read it aloud. This decree Emperor Chongzhen, first of all, praised Lin Yi's exploits in the Battle of the Xiliuhe River, and then crowned Lin Yi as the supervisor, hung the title of secretary of the military department, and gave him the sword of Shang Fang, so that he could supervise the soldiers and horses of the world, and immediately set up troops to Shaanxi to fight for thieves.

After listening to this will, Lin Yi understood why Li Wenhai saluted himself first just now.

He is private first and then public, and he first meets his superiors. Li Wenhai is the head of the Ministry of War, and of course he has to pay homage to Lin Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, with a great courtesy to his superiors.

After Li Wenhai read out the will, he put the holy decree together, respectfully handed it to Lin Yi, and then congratulated Lin Yi, and all the generals also said hello.

The official in the Ming Dynasty is really not small, the official residence is a product, there is a sword of Shang Fang, the governor of the world soldiers and horses, plus the prince and the prince, Lin Yi is no longer a chief military officer now. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a power-leaning government and the opposition, even the first assistant of the cabinet has to be in awe of him.

But again, Lin Yi takes honor very lightly, especially the honor of the last dynasty, which is just a temporary favor.

According to the original historical development, in another three or four months, the Ming Dynasty will be finished, and then what is the use of the official being big? As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, he now cares about the thousands of living beings in the Ming Dynasty.

Deep down in his heart, of course, others can't understand.

Lin Yi immediately said that he would do what he wanted.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wenhai brought bad news, that is, the former superintendent Sun Chuanting had returned to heaven a few days ago.

After Lin Yi got the news, he was very sad, and bowed three times in the direction of Yanjing, silently mourning Lord Sun for going all the way, and he would definitely live up to his expectations and bring his thousands of Qin soldiers to serve the country.

Li Wenhai stayed here for two days and returned to Beijing to resume his life.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe both suggested that Lin Yi quickly dispatch troops.

Because now Lin Yi can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, he now has 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is not much, and then transfer 100,000 and 200,000 troops from other troops, the strength will be even more sufficient, and it is also a deterrent to thieves.

Lin Yi smiled, what the governor of the world said is good, now the powerful one is Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, and then Zuo Liangyu in Wuhan, like Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong Liu Liangzuo, you really didn't put them in your eyes.

But can Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu listen to his dispatch? You don't have to worry about that at all.

Fortunately, Lin Yi now has an army of 100,000 in his hands, so he can fight wherever he wants. Therefore, Lin Yi held the sword of the Son of Heaven, hanging the name of the secretary of the military department, and he did not transfer a single soldier of the supernumerary generals.

He just asked the nearby magistrate to prepare grain and grass with him. After preparing for a few days, I plan to send troops to Shaanxi.

But it was at this time that it began to snow. It was November 1643, at the end of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, at this time, Henan and Shaanxi had entered a cold winter, and the first heavy snow fell.

Then the weather was cold and the snow covered the mountains, and there was no way to march and fight.

Lin Yi looked at it, there was no way, this was the will of heaven, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't be in a hurry, people were not as good as heaven, and they had to wait until the spring of next year to be able to fight.

By the beginning of spring next year, that is, in March and April of 1644, wouldn't it be the time when Li Zicheng entered Yanjing after he became emperor in Shanxi?

It seems that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and this catastrophe could not be avoided.

By the beginning of spring next year, according to Emperor Chongzhen's will, he will have to fight from Henan to Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng will definitely fight from Shaanxi to Yanjing.

It seems that this historical fate cannot be avoided.

He had the intention to return to Shangjing, save Chongzhen, and save Daming, but he had no will, and he, the superintendent, did not dare to act without permission.

Later, when I thought of Chongzhen again, forget it, Lin Yi no longer worked hard to fight with the sky.

In this way, Lin Yi took a break from his troops and began to spend the winter, and three months later, that is, in February 1644, it was still cold.

At this time, news came from Shaanxi, Li Zicheng captured Xi'an Mansion and Yan'an Mansion and occupied the whole of Shaanxi, with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses. And in January, he proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an Province and established the Dashun regime.

Now that the weather has just warmed up, that is, in February, which has just entered the lunar calendar, Li Zicheng sent two armies to attack the Ming Dynasty.

One way out of Tongguan, the other way out of Shuozhou, one south and one north more than 200,000 horses, like two sharp knives, straight into the Ming Dynasty's Beijing division.

Don't fancy a Shanxi province in between, but the old officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty were frightened, fled to death, and surrendered countless people.

Emperor Chongzhen was frightened after receiving the retribution, and immediately dispatched troops to guard the Beijing Division. The first thing he thought of was Lin Yi, and he immediately recruited Lin Yi back with 12 gold medals.

At this time, Lin Yi was walking with 100,000 horses on the road to meet the people of Li Zicheng South Road. His lieutenant Zu Keyong took 10,000 horses from Jingzhou, brought 2,000 new muskets, and equipped Lin Yi's guard battalion.

At this time, Lin Yi's 100,000 horsemen were strong and strong, but they didn't have wings, and they were still hundreds of miles away from Li Zicheng's horses, so they were connected to 12 gold medals.

Lin Yi had no choice but to change his route and send troops to Beijing.
