The Ming court did not know the importance of Yunyang, since the year of Chenghua set up the governor of Yunyang, the first three governors of Chongzhen were Jiang Yunyi, Lu Xiangsheng, and Song Zushun.

The current governor is Miao Tu, the emperor of Zuodu, and compared to his predecessor, this Miao governor should be a wreck.

This is not surprising, the Chongzhen Dynasty is like this, the members of the court are not as good as a stubble, and in the end, the vast majority of them are wretched or bastards, and a small part is "usually talking about their hearts and minds, and reporting to the king when they die." "The moral gentleman.

Although Miao Yintu, the governor of Yunyang, could not stand his good luck, when he replaced Song Zushun at some level in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the "Red Flag Army" had already taken root in Jingzhou and Kuizhou, and was also involved in the Hanshui Basin.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Xiangyang and Nanyang have been basically controlled by the "Red Flag Army", and Kuizhou Mansion has been governed for two years, so Yunyang has been preserved.

After Ma Fulin came to Yunyang, the position of the governor Miao Tu was correct, and he did not interfere with the deployment of the "Red Banner Army" at all, and also actively cooperated with the "Red Flag Army" to occupy acres of land and organize people to cultivate the land.

The "Red Banner Army" doesn't care whether the Ming officials are soft or not, as long as they are obedient, they can accept it, anyway, it won't be long before the military power and financial power of the entire Yunyang Prefecture will be arrested.

The defenders of Xi'an broke through the siege overnight after eating a full stomach, and the besieged Liukou and the Qing army were busy for half the night plus a whole day, because the soldiers and civilians who ran out were as high as hundreds of thousands, and many people fled in the chaos.

The organizational structure of the Liukou was chaotic, and it expanded so rapidly during this period that many of the leaders of the Liukou who were equivalent to the general of the Ming Dynasty could not recognize all the soldiers under their hands.

The Chinese blind account for more than eighty percent of the rogues, and they do not know the usual process of screening prisoners and surrendering the army in the "Red Banner Army", resulting in many Ming generals who have changed into pawn uniforms to mix in the rogue team and wait for the opportunity.

Of course, these people are not preparing to fight back, but they will run into the mountains and dense forests to try to run to Tongguan or Shangzhou when they have the opportunity.

On April 15, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying and others attacked the basically undefended city of Xi'an, and Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, and many county kings and generals of Zhenguo gave up resistance and chose to surrender.

In fact, this is not to blame these princes, there are no soldiers, no food, there are only two ways to go, suicide and martyrdom, surrender and fight for a living.

Gao Yingxiang, who was proud of the spring breeze, did not kill the Zhu Ming royal family, and took care of the royal family of the Xiangwang family, the Qin royal family, and the Duanwang family in a separate courtyard of the original Qin Wang's mansion.

Gao Yingxiang was trustworthy and distributed half of the gold and silver treasures collected from Xi'an to the Qing army, which was no less than eight million taels in silver.

However, Zilharang, Azig and Fan Wencheng were not happy to get the Manchu civil and military generals.

Because the planned transfer of the "Red Flag Army" seemed to be aborted, what made them even more uneasy was that they had not received instructions from Sheng Jing for more than two months.

Not only did they not see Sheng Jing's envoys, but not a single messenger they sent back to report the news of the victory.

It is not surprising that the elite of the ten battalions of the "Red Banner Army" was dispatched .

A battalion of "flying troops" in training also took part in the operation by beating rabbits with grass, and hot air balloons floated high in the sky, and fixed telescopes could see a radius of several tens of miles.

There were Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, and the pilots transmitted back to the ground through the flag, and Hanzi, Yang Danian, Wang Zhicheng and other battalions would send cavalry to intercept and kill as long as they were nearby, and it was not worth mentioning to block the communication between the Qing army in Shaanxi and Shenyang.

"The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 gold." The Manchurian cavalry was thousands of miles away from their homeland, and suddenly cut off contact with their lair, and their mood can be imagined.

It's been too long, and now I have a lot of yellow and white things, and many Manchurian cavalry have begun to feel homesick, and their morale has plummeted.

After deliberation, senior generals such as Azig, Zilharang, and Fan Wencheng organized a sentry horse team with a number of 300, including 30 Bayala, 70 horse armors, and 200 Horqin light cavalry.

Leading the team is veteran Baga Lamjang Jingfucha Haninga, whose main task is to find out what caused the inability to contact Sheng Jing.

Completely different from the Qing army, the quality of the Liukou men, who had more than doubled in size, had improved by leaps and bounds, which was completely the result of training for several months and getting more than 100,000 Ming army equipment.

Xianyang and Xi'an were about to be defeated, the city remained intact, and all the fire cannons became the equipment of the Liukou heavy barracks.

Many gunners and gunners of the original Ming army surrendered, making the firearms unit trained by Gao Yingxiang's henchman Liu Zhe as high as more than 20,000 people.

At this time, there was a problem with the alliance between the Qing army and the Liukou, and the key was who the surrender army belonged to?

Forty percent of Xiong Wencan's army rebelled again, and there was no doubt about the belonging of these 100,000 horses, they originally came to defect to the alliance leader Gao Yingxiang.

Even with Xianyang and Xi'an, the total number of Ming troops who were captured and surrendered was as high as 150,000, half of which surrendered to Jiannu, and Zuo Liangyu also got the title of county king on an equal footing with Li Zicheng.

Next, there will be a big problem, the food owned by the Manchurian cavalry and the Ming army that returned to them will definitely not last for half a month, and Gao Yingxiang will need to provide food and grass in the future.

Now that Zuo Liangyu has been reused by Jiannu and manages sixty or seventy thousand Ming soldiers, where does Gao Yingxiang have the obligation to provide them with grain and grass?

In the end, Fan Wencheng's plan was unanimously recognized, in fact, he appointed Zuo Liangyu as the king of Lintao County, which was the capital of Gansu Province in later years, Lanzhou.

There was no Gansu Province in the Ming Dynasty, and Shaanxi was much larger than in later generations, including half of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Gansu Province.

In addition to Gansu Town, which is more than 2,000 miles away from Xi'an City, only Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, and Guyuan Town are still garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty, which is also the origin of Hong Chengchou's trilateral general system.

Fan Wencheng's plan was very simple, to attack and harvest grain all the way to the west, and he did not hesitate to hit the big grass beach in Qinghai and Ganzhou.

In the future, Zuo Liangyubu can be stationed in Lintao Mansion for a long time and be a veritable king of Lintao County.

Fan Wencheng knew that Lin Dan Khan had finally fled to Dacaotan and died of smallpox plague due to bad luck, where there were many Mongol tribes.

If the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and Zuo Liangyu have gained a foothold in Lintao, it is very likely that they will conquer the Mongols next and lay down a country in the northwest.

In case there is a mistake in Liaodong, there will be much more room for the master to choose, and it is possible to attack and operate Mobei to the north, and to migrate west to operate Qingtang.

Widening the distance is beneficial to the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces, which are good at cavalry, and if the battle line is lengthened, the ranks of the "Red Banner Army" will lose sight of one and the other, and it will be even more difficult to annihilate the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry.

The worst plan in the future may be that the "Red Banner Army" will still stick to the defense line of the Great Wall like the Ming Border Army, restore many guards in eastern Liaodong, and the prairie will still be the home of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry.
