Chapter 607: Rabbits Don't Eat Grass on the Edge of the Nest
Jin Minghu, Zhao 13 and other leaders also led 2,500 men and horses across the frozen Yellow River to participate in the Xingyang Conference.
Because there are 20,000 or 30,000 small families of the "winged tiger" department in Taihang Mountain, they have settled in Tunken, and the nest has left half of its troops in case of accidents.
When the thieves gathered, dozens of flag guards lurking in the "winged tigers" team under the cover of the identity of the big and small leaders were carefully looking at these anti-bone boys, striving to describe their physical characteristics to students who majored in Western painting in the future.
Cao Cao Luo Ru is the big leader who introduced Jin Minghu, this person is a pivotal core figure in the Liukou camp, extremely lustful and has some strategic vision, he is good at reconciling the relationship between various departments, so everyone is willing to cooperate with him.
He has coordinated disputes between the big leaders of the Liukou many times, the most typical example is that Li Zicheng defected to Zhang Xianzhong after the defeat and almost died, but Luo Rucai intervened to obstruct and save Li Zicheng.
Later, after Zhang Xianzhong's defeat and defected to Li Zicheng, he was almost calculated, but Luo Rucai privately sent him 500 men and horses and released Zhang Xianzhong.
The "Winged Tiger" department is an alternative among the rogues, because this Biao man has the best discipline and actually has a nest in Taihang Mountain, so many rogue leaders are willing to get close to Jin Minghu and Zhao Shisan.
Liukou didn't know that they were all rootless duckweed, and they didn't know when they would be beaten by the official army to the sky and the ground, and it was good to have friends in Taihang Mountain who could defect.
Before coming to Xingyang to meet the alliance, the "winged tiger" was famous far and wide, and many rogues were afraid of it.
Because whether it is the official army or other rogue battalion leaders, as long as they enter the Taihang Mountain and reach the 300-mile radius of territory centered on Pingshun County under the actual control of the "winged tigers", they will be defeated.
The "winged tiger" department also does things in line with the principle that rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, and the county towns such as Licheng, Huguan, and Pingshun never harass, and often help the people in the territory.
Zhao Shisan and Jin Minghu took a fancy to a cottage where old bandits were entrenched the year before last, and turned this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place into a nest, and adopted the principle and policy of accumulating grain and building a high wall to bury their heads in development.
The "Red Banner Army" defeated tens of thousands of rogues in Pingshun County the year before last and saved this crumbling city.
These people now have a very good relationship with the "Red Banner Army", and the remaining guards of Houjiazhuang and "Zhongyi Fort" 300 miles away are the support of the newly appointed magistrate.
Xinzhi County is actually an old person from Pingshun County, who was originally the county school and the eight products, and was promoted because of his meritorious participation in holding the city.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that this place is too poor in the depths of Taihang Mountain, and now it has become rampant bandits and rampant bandits.
Under normal circumstances, the Ming Dynasty adopted the consistent thinking that the people did not raise officials and did not hold officials accountable, and the "winged tiger" department established a base area with Pingshun County as the center, and lived in harmony with the common people and local officials, so no officials and soldiers came to the mountains to find trouble.
Although the land in the Taihang Mountains is barren and basically mountainous, as long as it is not plagued by the rogues, the harvest can still feed the population, which is one-third less than the people in the early years of Chongzhen.
He Shouxin often brought armed propaganda team members to the mountains to publicize, and they brought maize and potatoes to teach the mountain people to plant, and also paid money to buy mountain goods such as mushrooms, fungus, medicinal herbs, and so on.
Maize in the mountains planting effect is good, the mountain has soil horns can be planted in a dozen, dozens of small pieces, the accumulation of a small amount is equivalent to an increase of three percent of the sowing area.
The people take food as the sky, the people in the mountains are very simple, and the people who dig wells do not forget to dig wells, and they only reach the living standard of eating two meals a day and are full of eighty percent, and they have been talking about the benefits of Dongpinghou.
Now the "Red Banner Army" has a good reputation in the Taihang Mountains, and the local officials in the mountainous areas are willing to get in touch with the Marquis of Dongping.
The "winged tiger" department sneaked into the bamboo silk mouth and fought with Jiannu after a lot of seizures, and the most satisfying thing for Jin Minghu was that he grabbed more than 400 Mongolian war horses.
On the way back to the division, they also took in more than 3,000 ordinary people, of whom 500 young and middle-aged people willingly joined this team to do the way for the heavens.
Jin Minghu and Zhao Shisan had already secretly met with Pei Daneng, who had returned to the "Zhongyi Fort", and knew that the next task of the flag guard was to cooperate with the remaining men and horses in the mainland to establish a fortress city in Yingzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture in the central capital.
The way of thinking of the flag guards is completely different from that of the regular army, and they all know that whether it is a civilian official, a military general, or an ordinary person, they do not shed tears when they see the coffin.
It is difficult to buy acres of land even for money, and it is difficult to get the support of officials at all levels to exist in the name of Xiangyong.
The head of the family studied and discussed with the local officials in Kuizhou Mansion how to share the benefits after the war, Zhao Shisan, Pei Daneng and other flag guard leaders all studied and discussed, and finally came to a conclusion.
The leaders of the Banner Guards knew that it was best to fight the Rogue just right, and it was best to start when the Rogue had conquered a certain city and was just about to burn and loot.
Those scholars who see their heads in different places will feel the real saving grace, and the officials who have escaped or surrendered are even better rescued, and these sinners who want to get rid of their crimes and continue to be officials will be controlled by the flag guards to become puppets.
Gu Rushan, Pei Daneng, and Ma Fulin personally led the team, and He Shouxin still stayed in the "Zhongyi Fort", and this Biao man had already crossed the Yellow River and waited for Zhao Shisan to deliver the news in a clan-armed village.
Because of the duty of defending the territory, there are no fewer people and horses left in the "Zhongyi Fort", and because the three or four thousand villagers who have been trained are enthusiastic about guarding their new homeland, they may not have the enthusiasm for the expedition.
It is quite important for the "Red Flag Army" to consciously and voluntarily go out to fight, and half of the villagers who took the initiative to sign up after He Shouxin's propaganda and agitation were recruited, and these people had been trained for more than a year and had a certain combat effectiveness.
In the end, Gu Rushan led two general cavalry infantry, and Ma Fulin led one general cavalry, and selected and requisitioned 600 young and middle-aged men from the volunteers to participate in the battle.
Last autumn, the imperial court strengthened the defense of Gyeonggi, and during this time, the bandits around the "Zhongyi Fort" were really extinct, and because there was no need to carry out raids, there were more than 3,000 people left behind and Xiangyong, and there were only a dozen war horses.
The output of self-generated guns in the system has fully met the large-scale equipment, and more than 1,000 volunteers who have not been selected have been looked down upon by He Shouxin, and all of them have been given the treatment of the guards and soldiers, and a thousand households have been formed, and now they are all assigned to self-generated guns for training.
There are more than 3,000 people left behind, of which half use hot weapons, and half use ash pole spears, although they do not have the ability to raid, it is more than enough to guard the "Zhongyi Fort" and Houjiazhuang.
