In the future, Han people will continue to move to "Han River Province", and the proportion of the population will immediately decrease.

Now it is more than one-third, and after the new year it will be less than one-third, and it will be lower and lower in the future.

This area is huge, covering an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, which is more than the total area of Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province in later generations, and the developed acres of land can fully feed more than 30 million people.

It is very different from the prosperity of "Hanjiang Province", Shaanxi Province is full of smoke, not only the people are not happy, but even the officials and landlords are in danger.

After Jiannu broke into Yansui Town, he has been attacking the city and pulling out the village, and has been killing until the city of Xi'an, but fortunately, although the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry are as high as 60,000 or 70,000, there are no siege equipment.

Seeing the Ming army's will to defend the city, the two main generals Zilharang and Azig were resolute and unwilling to consume their troops to capture the city, and they have been attacking the forts and cottages of the local armed forces in the surrounding areas to protect themselves.

Because there are several big cities in the hands of the Ming army such as Hanzhong, Xianyang, and Xi'an between Liukou and Jiannu, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, etc. do not know that a big savior has come.

Forced by the murderous reputation of Hong shaving his head, Gao Yingxiang and others led the Liukou to go to Sichuan, and on the second day of October, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, and Chaotianwang entered Sichuan in nine parts and three ways.

They broke through the defense line from Qipan Pass, Yangping Pass, and Lishukou respectively, and attacked Zhaohua in one drum on the eighth day of the first month. The attack on Jianzhou on the 12th was again at your fingertips, and the team swelled to hundreds of thousands at once.

Since the autumn harvest in Sichuan was not long after, every household had grain, and the rogues received a large amount of supplies, and the Sichuan people, whose grain was swept away by the rogues, had to follow the thieves and plunder the next prefecture and county.

On the 14th, due to too many people and horses, Gao Yingxiang and others attacked in three ways, respectively to capture Mianzhou, Yanting, and Jiangyou, and once again grabbed a lot of money.

Wang Weizhang, the governor of Sichuan, and Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, the governor of Zuodu, had to retreat to Chengdu after successive defeats, and lost more than half of the assembled men, and now there are less than 10,000 people.

On the 16th, Gao Yingxiang, who was self-inflated, and Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, Guo Tianxing, and Chaotianwang once again joined forces to surround Chengdu.

The number of rogues and displaced people who participated in the siege of Chengdu is said to be one million, and the total number is probably not less than 800,000, the number of young and middle-aged people should be close to 300,000, and the number of people with weapons and some combat effectiveness will not be less than 150,000.

The white pole soldiers and the "Red Banner Army" have done a good job in running eastern Sichuan, and the good times of more than three years have not been wasted, and the overall quality and number of the white pole soldiers today are far stronger than in history.

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, the two white-pole soldiers, didn't expect that the liukou would fight from northern Sichuan to the Chengdu Plain, so was this worth it?

The vassal state in Chengdu is the Shu king Zhu Zhishu, his ancestor is Zhu Chun, the eleventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who has lived and multiplied in Sichuan for more than 200 years and has been passed down for 14 generations.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of rogues, many county kings and generals of the Shu Dynasty were frightened, and more than a dozen urgent letters for help were sent out to the court for help.

The king of Shu deliberately wrote a letter to Qin Liangyu for help, and also listened to the advice of the governor of the palace to Gu Zhun, the chief general of the "Red Banner Army" who stayed in Kuizhou Mansion, to ask for help.

The king of Shu is not stupid, nor is he insatiable, and the county kings of their line have not left too much notoriety among the people.

The county kings and generals of Zhenguo, led by Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang, etc., all made a statement that as long as they came to rescue Chengdu, they would provide military salaries and food.

The Chengdu Plain is vast and rich, and the Shu kings have been operating in this good place for more than 200 years, and they do have the strength to provide food and salary for the army of the Kou.

After Qin Liangyu and Gu Zhun received a letter from the King of Shu asking for help, they immediately prepared for the opening of the army, and the propaganda and mobilization work was immediately launched.

The dispatch of the army requires an official document from the Ministry of War or the emperor's holy decree, and with Qin Liangyu's loyalty to the imperial court, he will definitely not send troops without authorization.

Zhou Shideng, who has been promoted to the left to participate in politics, has been performing his duties in Kuizhou Mansion because he trusts the "Red Flag Army", and he also received a letter from the King of Shu, and immediately took the opportunity to ensure that Gu Zhun served as the chief military officer to help and suppress Chengdu to participate in the relief of the siege of Chengdu to save the King of Shu and the danger.

Chengdu was in an emergency, and Emperor Chongzhen, after the official letter of the King of Shu was sent to Beijing, he was shocked, and he had already been plagued by Liukou, and many county kings of the Tang Dynasty had been plagued by Liukou, accusing him of the emperor's poor protection of his relatives.

If the always virtuous Shu King is served by Liukou again, how can he, the emperor, face the royal family?

This time, the imperial court reacted quickly enough, also because there were soldiers and horses, and it was a reassuring team available.

Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, and Zhang Fengyi were sent out by the imperial court, and Gu Zhun was appointed by the imperial court as the chief military officer of Sichuan Aid and Suppression.

The task of the white pole soldiers and the "Red Flag Army" Eastern Sichuan Division is to rescue Chengdu quickly and to protect the King of Shu and his family.

When Gu Zhun led three thousand general guards and two thousand "Red Banner Army" infantry to leave the Kuizhou Mansion, Ji Datong, the head of the flag guard in charge of eastern Sichuan affairs, temporarily took office.

At this time, Qin Yanyi had returned to Shizhu's hometown, and she regretted that she was pregnant at the wrong time, not only missed the battle to recover Pyongyang, but also lost the opportunity to raise troops and fight with the rogues in Chengdu.

She handed over a chief female soldier to Ma Lanhua's command, and asked her to ensure the safety of her adoptive mother Qin Liangyu no matter what.

In the past two or three years, the white pole soldiers have often fought but have not faced vicious battles, and they have all cleared bandits and rogues in the mountains and forests of eastern Sichuan.

Due to the fact that Huang Han circled a lot of fertile land and forced the magistrates to make many concessions, the number of white pole soldiers has now reached its peak.

In addition to leaving a part of the troops to guard the east of Sichuan and the stone pillar of the base camp, Qin Liangyu ordered a full 25,000 men and horses to swear to the battle, and at the same time, the 10,000 Sichuan troops belonging to her were also assembled.

Qin Gongming, who had studied at Shanhaiguan for a year, and his 100 guards had already returned home, and when they returned, they were given a gift from the general who captured them - 20 one-pounder furlong cannons, three six-pounder field guns, and seven three-pounder field guns.

Now Qin Gongming is commanding a battalion of white-pole soldiers imitating the formation of the "Red Banner Army", and the men and horses of this battalion are definitely the best of the best, and many of the officers are selected from the personal guards who participated in the study.

It is a pity that there is only one general of cavalry because of the lack of cavalry, but there are more cold weapons infantry that mainly use ash pole spears.

All in all, the current white pole soldiers are even stronger than in history, and the imperial court appointed Qin Liangyu as the chief soldier to lead the men and horses to Chengdu to relieve the siege.

When employing people, the emperor was very generous, and it was also the reason why he recognized Qin Liangyu's trust in the white pole soldiers.

The imperial court appointed Gu Zhun as the commander of the army to aid and suppress the army, and at the same time gave Qin Liangyu the official position of general of Zhengxi, making Qin Liangyu one of the eight general officers of the Ming Dynasty.
