The magistrates and local tyrants and squires in Anqing were fortunate to see the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army", and for the sake of their own safety and to be able to keep their family business, they reached a consensus and tried every means to keep these horses.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Pei Yuanwu became the chief officer of the local regimental training, and this Biao man did not make a register in the military department, and of course he would not get the food and salary issued by the household department, which was completely borne by the local government and the family.

Four or five nearby cities were plagued by the rogue, and the thief was the most ruthless gangster among the rogues, and none of the high-ranking officials and landlords in the prefectures and counties he had sacked could leave his life, and of course the family's belongings were gone, and the ancestral homes were all scorched to earth without exception.

As a lesson from the past, the officials and wealthy people of Anqing Prefecture did not dare to suffer from gains and losses at this time, and they pledged to donate money and food to support a regiment of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of the prefect.

Pei Yuanwu agreed to stay in Anqing Mansion to do local regimental training that was not recognized by the imperial court, and all the magistrates said that they would report to the imperial court when the time was ripe to win the position of chief military officer of regimental training for him.

He didn't care whether he had the rank of the imperial court, because the "Red Banner Army" recognized every general who was stationed in the interior on business, and the generals who made meritorious contributions would not be rewarded by the imperial court, and the system would make up for it.

In order to maintain long-term peace and stability, Pei Yuanwu and Luo Mingshi and other "Red Banner Army" generals led their subordinates to screen the captured rogues and homeless people, and after killing one or two thousand blood-indebted criminals, more than 10,000 young and middle-aged people sentenced to re-education through labor were transported to Ningyuan by ship.

The food and supplies seized so far can still cope with the hundreds of thousands of hungry people waiting to be fed, but it will not be possible to sustain the winter wheat harvest in any case.

Anqing will become a transit station here, transporting hungry people and bringing in grain, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of people can be transported to settle this place.

The fact that the thief ran away did not mean that he had been defeated, but he had been taught a lesson after three days when he had gathered the defeated soldiers and the outcasts.

He realized that it was dangerous to go along the river, that it was the territory of the "Red Devils", and that it was impossible to tolerate anyone burning and looting.

We can't afford to hide, Daming is very big, it's a big deal not to go to the riverside, the thief who figured it out went north and got lucky, and even went down to Taihu Lake and Susong, and then attacked all the way, Taihe, Huoshan, Lu'an, and Haozhou were captured.

After the capture of Susong, the Sacrifice Thief Department regained its self-confidence, and connected Xuzhou, Yucheng, Shangqiu, Runing, Zhenyang, and Xincai, trying to open the passage to enter Shaanxi through the north of Henan.

The homeland is difficult to leave, and the main part of the old battalion of the thieves is the Qin people, and they learned that because Hong Chengchou has transferred a large number of troops out of Tongguan and Shaanxi, the troops are empty, and they are clamoring to go back to their hometown.

Hong Chengchou has a talented general, how can he easily let the Liukou return to his hometown, and send Cao Wenzhao and Deng Xi to intercept it.

On the ninth day of the first month of February, Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo, the sons of the thieves who divided their troops to attack, led a group of men and horses to capture Luotian and opened the gateway to Huguang.

Three days later, Zhang Xianzhong, who got the news, took thousands of old thieves and horses, threw away more than 200,000 homeless people who couldn't run, and followed 20,000 or 30,000 young and strong rogues into Huguang.

There are too many displaced people, the burden is too heavy, there is no food to eat, for a little food often their own people fight, Zhang Xianzhong only selected a part of the young and strong to leave all the others behind, take mules and horses to carry the grain flow, the speed really doubled.

At this time, it was the spring famine, the food of the displaced people was robbed by the thieves, their homes were burned, and there was no food to be found within a radius of dozens of miles, and I don't know how many people who refused to eat people would be eaten.

The people of Henan, Shanxi, and Huguang cannibalized people, and even the Ming court, which had difficulties in making the officials and soldiers eat food, could not help, and many civil and military generals began to recommend the Marquis of Dongping to Henan to turn the tide.

On March 12, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings who were scurrying around, met again with Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Guotianxing Huideng and other departments, and they joined forces to conquer Qiangzhou and march westward.

Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui and other thieves who embarked on the road home threw away a large number of homeless people and took 70,000 or 80,000 horses from Yunyang to the old road, Jingzhou and returned to Shaanxi again, and returned to Fengxiang with the alliance leader Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's men and horses.

Shaanxi is in flames, and Hong Chengchou, who has just led his troops out of Tongguan, has obviously failed, and there is no way but to start again.

On April 12, Hong Chengchou summoned the generals in Ruzhou to adjust the deployment, and ordered Deng Xi, You Zhaiwen and other generals to lead their men and horses into Fancheng and hold the Han River.

Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou led the headquarters to control Wu Village and Wawu, and guarded the main road of Zhejiang water; He ordered You Shiwei, Chen Shefu, and Xu Laichao to be stationed in Yongning and Lushi Mountains to strangle the danger of Nan and Zhuyang.

Hong Chengchou personally commanded the army, and together with Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Liu Honglie, Ai Wannian, Liu Guozhen, Wu Zimian, You Shilu and other generals, they re-entered Tongguan to suppress.

The job of the official is to listen to the wind and play things, Hong Chengchou did not fight well and took care of the other and of course was sprayed lightly, too many officials compared Hong Chengchou with Huang Han, everyone thinks that the blind and easy to kill Hong shaved head is far worse than Dongping Hou.

In the spring of the previous year, the Marquis of Dongping entered Henan to complete the production of self-help while suppressing the Kou, not only stabilizing the Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion, but also benefiting the entire Henan, Shandong, and Beizhili territories north of the Yellow River.

Now it is an eventful spring, and the civil and military generals once again expect the Marquis of Dongping to bring surprises to the imperial court.

However, hundreds of letters were left behind, and the face music was also vetoed by the Son of Heaven on the spot during the court meeting, and many ministers were inevitably slandered.

The marginalized Huang Han can endure himself, he is not passive, and he still spares no effort to do his best for the country.

At the beginning of spring, the guards of the sleepless city, which had grown to 1,500 people, launched a vigorous patriotic health campaign with the Jinyi guards.

Today, the plague has been successfully contained, making this common and epidemic an occasional case in Gyeonggi.

Huang Han believes that it is not enough to contain smallpox, but also to intensify medical technology research, strive to overcome malaria, the second largest infectious disease, and strive to effectively prevent the plague that can cause the death of the population in a city.

Both of the above two infectious diseases are related to rats, and the transmission route is that fleas and lice on rats suck blood on humans to spread the virus.

Since the head of the family has always paid attention to urban hygiene, the "Red Flag Army" system has achieved that landfills, manure pits are not open, raw water is not allowed to be drunk, and every household is encouraged to raise cats to eliminate rodent infestation.

This time, a patriotic health campaign was launched in Beijing, and the guards of the city that never sleeped mobilized more than 100,000 women and children in Beijing to dig up rats and fly chrysalis with a penny for a rat's tail and ten fly chrysalis for a penny.

Zheng Xiu'e, who has been begging and being a homeless person in the city, also issued an order that all employees of the city that never sleeps must have a cat at home, which has been well implemented.
