The mountainous area where Xing Hongniang is active,

The landlords and kulaks had only two ways to go, flee or die.

The mountain people have obtained the land and lost the exploitation of the government, and they do not need to pay the rent, and their lives have really improved.

Xing Hongniang, who has been recognized by the mountain people, is really deaf and clear-sighted, and has successfully escaped the encirclement of the official army several times, and has also developed and grown, and now has more than 2,000 people, and the weapons are basically owned by everyone.

Gao Yingxiang felt strange when he saw Xing Hongniang's people, because most of the teams that came to defect were like flowers, and this Biao people were not only numerous, but also ruddy and cleanly dressed.

When asking carefully, Xing Hongniang solemnly introduced her own minister-in-law Li Yan, and Gao Yingxiang learned that this minister-in-law was not only a scholar, but also a master in Qixian County, Henan, and immediately saluted the corporal.

Juren has already stepped into the threshold of scholars, and he is already an official master, and basically no one will be lowly to a thief.

Therefore, the alternative Li Juren in the Liukou team is a scarce commodity, even if it is for the sake of pretending to be a golden city, Gao Yingxiang has to put on a high posture of seeking talent.

So, Gao Yingxiang invited Li Yan to talk about wine, and gradually this senior thief who was in a period of confusion was attracted by Li Yan's good conversation.

Li Yan, who had only defected to Li Zicheng for thirteen years, met Gao Yingxiang, who was more charming and dominating than Li Zicheng, a year and a half in advance, and immediately collided with sparks.

After listening to Li Yan's argument that rebellion is only to destroy the old system, it can only cure the symptoms, and only by establishing a new system can it cure the root cause.

Gao Yingxiang, who suddenly opened his mouth, held Li Yan's hands tightly and said: "Under the feet of the dragon and tiger, the hero is great, and he will be able to work with this king to open a foundation and start a business to seek thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" ”

Li Yan has degenerated into a rogue, just like Fan Wencheng, who forgot his ancestors and took refuge in Jiannu to be a traitor, he must make the rogues strong and finally turn into orthodoxy before he can have the face to return to his hometown.

Seeing that King Gao Chuang, who had already seized Shaanxi, looked up to himself so highly, Li Yan bowed his head and said: "Rock drifts for half a life and has no branches to rely on, today I have to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty and hate to see each other late, and the rock is willing to lead the horse for the Lord to fall!" ”

Gao Yingxiang laughed, and promised on the spot to appoint Li Yan as a military advisor, ranking above the 18th general, and canonizing Xing Hongniang as the 19th general.

Li Yan changed his fate and recognized Gao Yingxiang, who was tolerant of people, as his master, I don't know if it will make waves again in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in history, Li Zicheng, a lewd man who inherited the inheritance of King Gao Chuang, was in full swing, and Li Yan publicized among the people:

"Seeking ascension in the morning, seeking harmony in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive recently. Open the door early to worship the king, and the discipline is happy for everyone big and small. ”

"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine syrup, open the gate of the city to meet the king, and the king will not pay for the grain when he comes."

"Eat his mother, eat her mother, eat not enough to break the king. If you don't pay for it, you don't pay for food, and everyone has a happy life. ”

led to a group of poor people who did not know the truth to believe the truth, and too many people changed from passive thieves to actively following Li Chuang's thieves.

In the past two or three years, the "Red Flag Daily" has often published comments on the deceptiveness of the cliché "non-payment of grain," explaining that reasonable taxation is the key factor supporting the operation of the country.

It is clearly pointed out that everyone should not be bad, who will repair and maintain the Yellow River embankment? Who will build the bridge and pave the way? Who will build the city? Who's going to hunt down the robbers? Who will defend the country?

I don't know what new tricks Li Yan can play without the advertising slogan of "no food"?

After Xing Hongniang was reused, Gao Yingxiang allowed her to contain the local Liukou and bandit armies in Henan, and within a few days, Xing Hongniang's department had 10,000 small horses.

Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, the Eight Great Kings, Ma Shouying, Liu Guoneng, Scorpion Block, Tuoyangkun, Ge Li Yanhe Yilong, and Zhang Yichuan, the sweeping king, led their headquarters to attack eastward, with the goal of capturing Jining Prefecture, Xuzhou and other cities near the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The Ming Jingshi received Liu Zhilun's note and learned that the Ming army had successfully curbed the momentum of the Liukou and Qing armies attacking northward, and that the enemy had retreated across the Yellow River to Henan, and Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Within a few days, the urgent remarks of Zhongdu and Nanzhili came one after another, and the Liukou soldiers attacked eastward in four ways was simply unstoppable, and more than 20 prefectures and counties fell, and it was possible to cut off the Grand Canal.

After receiving such a note, Chongzhen was not too nervous, he knew the relationship between Jiangbei Governor Xu Mingyang and Huang Han, and he knew that the "Red Flag Army" had been involved along the Grand Canal during this time.

The places where the "Red Banner Army" is touched will not give up easily, and even if they want to abandon it, they will publicize it widely, so that the military and civilian officials can evacuate in advance.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been visiting Zhongdu and Nanzhili, and Chongzhen has not received the news of the retreat of the cities along the Grand Canal notified by the "Red Flag Army", which is enough to show that it will not be abandoned.

Chongzhen thinks that the Liukou are going to plague the Grand Canal, and the "Red Flag Army" refuses to give up, and the next thing should be a big war.

At the end of November, Huang Han learned that Gu Rushan, Lei Mingchun, Wang Ying, and other generals were preparing to start a blocking battle in Caozhou to combat the arrogance of the rogues.

It is very necessary to replace defense with offense, and we cannot wait for the Liukou and Qing troops to reach the area actually controlled by the "Red Banner Army" before they can passively defend, but the number of enemy troops in the interior is too large, and a vicious battle is bound to be painful.

Huang Han made a decision, he was ready to personally lead the personal guard battalion and all the bicycle infantry to gallop Caozhou to reinforce the mainland.

When the generals arranged the task, the generals outside the customs took the initiative to ask for orders to participate in the war, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Song Pengfei, Hanzi, Zhang Fengyi, etc., all unanimously asked Huang Han to sit in Shanhaiguan, and they led the men and horses to help.

Obviously, the civilian, military and military generals in the system were worried about Huang Han's safety, and they were afraid of accidents when they learned that he was going to lead less than 20,000 horses to gallop into the aid.

Everyone was well-intentioned, and Huang Han also had to make compromises, not only bringing Hanzi, Liu Fenyong, Zhang Yang, Wang Zhicheng and other fierce generals, but also adding eight thousand cavalry, making the number of men and horses galloping into the aid reach more than 28,000.

Sun Chuanting, the first general of the General Praise Painting Department, Liu Zaiqi, the chief officer of the propaganda team, Zheng Xiaowen, the governor of Shanyong, and other civilian officials set off with the army.

In order to hide his strength, Huang Han used to use the sea route for large-scale private deployment of troops, but now nearly 30,000 horses and horses are about to pass through the land of Gyeonggi.

In order not to make the emperor frightened, Huang Han took the initiative to play a request from the imperial court, stating that 30,000 recruits of the "Red Banner Army" would go on a long-distance march and training, hoping that the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi would not make a fuss.
