Dongping Hou's move won the hearts of the people, and he didn't know that when he was eating with Xu Zhixian with a bowl, two pairs of wonderful eyes stared at him like fascination.

An hour later, Huang Han came to the county government with more than a dozen generals to arrange post-war matters with Xu Mingyang and Zuo Erguan, Confucian teachings, and several officials.

After hearing that the Marquis of Dongping, who did not ask him for food and silver, wanted to share the profit of 3,000 Liukou to repay him, Xu Mingyang couldn't stand it anymore, and he said in disbelief: "Hou Ye is already grateful for saving the lower officials, how can the lower officials dare to share the credit of the 'Red Flag Army'?" ”

Huang Han said seriously: "Lord Xu is too humble, the county leader led the Pingshun army and people to hold the city for a few days and nights, and there are more than 3,000 rogues who died under the city?" You and all the Guardians deserve it. ”

Xu Mingyang was puzzled: "How can Master Hou repay him for being so inferior?" ”

Huang Han joked: "It's all for serving the country, how can you talk about rewarding?" In this way, another day, Lord Xu will arrange for someone to make a few side dishes and invite Benjue to have a drink, so how about we have two clear? ”

Xu Mingyang felt that the Marquis of Dongping was ridiculing him so much that he didn't even give the army a meal, and his face was flushed with shame again, and he said cheekily:

"The lower officials can't afford to invite thousands of troops, and there is still a cup of silver to invite the Hou Ye to have a drink, and the Xia Guan will personally cook a few Jiangxi special dishes to entertain the Hou Ye."

Confucianism didn't know the situation in Pingshun County, and saw that the county respected the county embarrassed and stepped forward to give a salute and said: "Master Hou, it's not that the officials of Pingshun County don't know the etiquette, but under the leadership of Lord Xu, we are all willing to break the family for the country and take out the cash and food at home to work for the army, so now we are shy in our pockets." ”

They don't explain that Huang Han can understand, the battle is won, and it is impossible to get back the silver that was rewarded, Xu Zhixian took everyone to fight a battle to defend the city, and it was completely a desperate consumption and basically could not be captured, of course there was no money in hand at this time.

Last night, there was chaos in the Liukou camp, but the defenders of Binh Thuan County did not dare to act rashly.

It is also because the vast majority of the defenders of the city are ordinary people, throwing stones at the head of the city can be counted as combat effectiveness, and going out of the city to fight in the field is to find death.

Therefore, before the appearance of the "Red Banner Army" brigade, Pingshun still closed the city gate to prevent no one from leaving the city, so naturally it lost a good opportunity to get captured.

The "Red Banner Army" worked in the same way as in Pingshun County to deal with homeless people, outcasts, and old thieves outside Houjiazhuang.

Except for the locals in Pingshun County who had just been poisoned by the Liukou and became homeless people, they were left for resettlement by the county magistrate, and the rest of the people were all sent to the camp outside Houjiazhuang after screening, eating a few full meals, resting for three days, and then going on the road.

Five or six hundred young and middle-aged people who had been confirmed to be local mountain people and took the initiative to sign up for the "Red Banner Army" because these people had lost their relatives and property, and the purpose of joining the army was to take revenge.

It is most dangerous for such people to be left to their own devices, leaving them to be trained in military service, so that they can be fed, clothed, and paid, and it is very likely that there will be one less saboteur and one more soldier.

The young musketeers had experience in screening old thieves, and focused on interrogating young adults with Shaanxi accents, because the Ming Dynasty was not a later generation, and the population could not move freely at all.

Lu Yin is equivalent to a letter of introduction for later generations, and the Chinese people before the reform and opening up also needed this thing when they went out.

This is the boundary of Shanxi near Henan, Shaanxi young adults came here not to be thieves, there are very few, these people are still thieves for more than a year, they belong to the thugs with blood debts in their hands, and there is no mercy to kill!

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, more than 1,000 old thieves who were screened out knelt on the ground and lined up, and the red-eyed Xu Zhixian personally counted the crimes committed by these people, and then a hundred executioners brandished snowy steel knives and beheaded.

The scene of the beheading was bloody, the onlookers of Pingshun County applauded loudly one by one, and more than 3,000 people who were sentenced to labor reform and left their lives knelt on the ground to pay compensation, and many people were frightened to the point of feces and urine.

The confiscated cold weapons, armor and a small number of bird guns were not pleasing to the eye, and Zhao Kun and Sang Yu arranged for people to pack up these equipment and store them in a cave, and within a few days the men and horses of the "winged tiger" would get enough equipment to arm two or three thousand people.

Jin Minghu, who was stumbling in the west of Pingshun County, fought a slippery battle, intercepted and killed some old men, and the loss was not worth mentioning, capturing one or two hundred horses, and also getting some weapons, armor, and gold and silver treasures.

Zhao Shisan had a level, and he did not agree that Jin Minghu would come to Han Xin, and the more soldiers the better, worried that this team would be no different from the Liukou, and also considered that he would not be able to afford it after the food consumption was too large.

He was only willing to take in 400 strong men from Shanxi and Henan, the old and weak, including the young and middle-aged with too many people, and none of the horse thieves with Shaanxi accents left alive.

The men and horses of the "Winged Tiger" disarmed and looted the 1,000 unsightly rogues and drove them eastward, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Someone secretly spread that Dongping Hou was willing to take in the homeless people and guaranteed that they would not starve to death in the "Red Banner Army".

The rogues who were sacked by Jin Minghu had nothing to grow, not even a grain of millet left, and they might not survive for three or five days if they did not choose to seek a way out of the "Red Flag Army" to survive.

The "Red Banner Army" also kills people, but they do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and many rogues who think that they have not committed bloody crimes choose to throw themselves into the net in order to survive.

After Huang Han was stationed in Pingshun County for seven days, not long after sending the homeless people on the road, he rushed to the squires of the county seat under the jurisdiction of Guangping Prefecture to send 2,000 stone of grain to the labor army, these people are the lords who do not see rabbits and do not scatter eagles.

The Eight Great Kings, the Demon King of the Mixed World, the Heavenly King of Tota and other thieves and horses divided their troops to the north with the Ma Wangye, Chaotian Fei, and a handful of Mao who attacked Pingshun County.

Hong Chengchou has the level and combat effectiveness in the suppression of Kou Wenwu, but he is faced with a big problem of fighting on two fronts.

At the end of February of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Chahar and Hetao were jointly dispatched to attack the Yuquan battalion in Hexi, Ningxia, and ran.

In March, more than 10,000 Chahar Mongolian cavalry entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, laid down the victory fort and the town fort, robbed a lot of grain, plundered some people, and left.

In May of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Chahar Mongol cavalry, which had tasted the sweetness, came again, this time on an unprecedented scale, and 50,000 light cavalry invaded Ningxia from Qingshui and Hengcheng.

Due to the large number of border troops sent into the interior to suppress and kill the rogues, resulting in the border air defense is weak, and the garrison Yao Zhikui and other guards are vulnerable and give their lives in vain, Shi Kaixian, the deputy general of Shajing Station, Zhang Wenzheng, the general of Linhe Fort, and Zhao Wan, the garrison of Yuejialou, all fled.

He Huchen, the chief military officer of Ningxia Town, can be regarded as a fierce general even if he is not a bad breed, but Lin Dan Khan took a light cavalry attack and came suddenly, the speed was too fast, and there were as many as 50,000 men and horses.
