During this time, the battle of the Manchurian cavalry was very smooth, and the only fly in the ointment was that the food was unsustainable.

They had to constantly loot the clans that had formed villages to protect themselves, armed robbery of grain and livestock, and barely survived.

In order to show the sincerity of the unity, Gao Yingxiang generously gave the Qing army 50,000 stone wheat.

With this food, the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry was enough to feed for more than three months, and they no longer had to worry about the future, and they could concentrate and disperse the men and horses who were collecting food to attack Xi'an City.

The Liukou did not suffer a loss, and the Qing army returned the favor by giving them more than 20,000 pieces of weapons and more than 2,000 pairs of leather and cotton armor captured during this period.

Gao Yingxiang did not lack people in his hands, but he lacked equipment, and immediately after getting the weapons, there were several new battalion leaders.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many rebel leaders on the historical stage, and the vast majority of them were forced by officials to rebel against the people, and they had to do it as a last resort when they couldn't go on, including Li Zicheng.

And Gao Yingxiang is an alternative, in today's terms, he is actually a person with pursuits.

He used to trade horses as a business, was good at riding and shooting, had great strength, and lived a prosperous life.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang saw many hungry people in Shaanxi shouting: "Instead of sitting and starving, why not steal and die." ”

He felt that the opportunity had come, and because Gao Yingxiang had financial resources, the specifications of the starting family were very high.

At that time, when Anzhai in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province was unveiled, it had more than 300 war horses and horses, and more than 200 clansmen and township parties who could ride and fight.

Gao Yingxiang is a horse dealer, and his business is not small, but selling horses for a business is not a small business selling vegetables and tofu, nor is it something that ordinary people can do.

To do this line of work not only to have financial resources, but also to have enough force, Gao Yingxiang not only has the force, but also "righteousness and wealth" received a lot of younger brothers, in his hometown can be described as famous.

In just two years of killing officials and rebelling, Gao Yingxiang became one of the leaders of the "36th Battalion", and then developed rapidly, Gao Yingxiang's department outperformed the vast majority of the rogue teams and played the "King Chuang" bandit.

After the rebellion, Gao Yingxiang fought with the Ming army, and he was dressed in a striking white robe and white scarf, taking the lead, daring to fight and rushing, and won more followers.

The early anti-bone boys such as Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, etc. died one after another, and Gao Yingxiang finally took the lead and became the leader of the alliance of the Liukou Gongtu, that is, the big boss of the Liukou.

This person is very deep in the city, usually does not smile, has a majesty, and has a strong psychological quality, and can not be affected by defeat and victory, and the level is actually much higher than that of the lewd man Li Zicheng.

Gao Yingxiang's classic example is to take the strongest of the strong, and set up an ambush in Hutou Town, Ningzhou to trap and kill the famous Ming generals Ai Wannian and Cao Wenzhao.

You must know that before hearing the name of "Big and Little Cao", the rogue was crushed for thousands of miles, and a thousand Guanning iron horsemen dared to chase tens of thousands of rogue to the death.

The battle of Hutou Town made all the rogues enhance their self-confidence, and they thought that the most powerful Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that, and they would no longer be afraid of any Ming army.

Nowadays, in the eyes of the Liukou, the "Red Banner Army" is an independent armed force, which is not the same thing as the Ming Army, and facts have proved that this is indeed the case, because the "Red Banner Army" is strictly disciplined, starves to death, and does not rob the common people.

Although the rogues killed people and set fires to black their hearts, there is no doubt that the vast majority of them come from the poorest people, and they hate the government and the Ming army who bullied the common people by killing people and setting fires.

Although every time they encountered the "Red Flag Army", the rogue was beaten badly, but the rogue just couldn't hate the "Red Flag Army", and I am afraid that this is the case if the evil does not prevail over the good.

Zhang Xianzhong looked down on Li Zicheng, so after Gao Yingxiang's death, he had constant friction with Li Zicheng, who had Gao Yingxiang's inheritance and inherited the name of "King Chuang", and almost killed Li Zicheng.

The reason is that he is not convinced by Li Zicheng, and feels that it is too unfair for this lewd man to inherit the family background of King Gao Chuang. But Zhang Xianzhong obeyed Gao Yingxiang and always recognized this big boss.

In fact, we can see the clues by looking at the development of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng after Gao Yingxiang's death.

Li Zicheng inherited Gao Yingxiang's legacy, and the starting conditions were certainly better than Zhang Xianzhong's, and Zhang Xianzhong completely relied on himself to fight the world, which was not much worse than Li Zicheng, a self-proclaimed Emperor Dashun and a self-proclaimed Emperor Daxi.

Gao Yingxiang can tolerate people, too many unruly anti-bone boys take his horse as their head, which is difficult for Li Zicheng to chase.

After Li Zicheng's strength grew, he did not do less evil deeds such as attacking and killing his former comrades-in-arms and annexing other big leaders of the rogue bandits.

Cao Cao Luo Rucai, whose strength is second only to Li Zicheng, and He Yilong, who is at the top of the strength ranking, was killed by Li Zicheng, which can be seen from the internal friction that has also lost too much of the main force of the rogues.

The key is that Li Zicheng is a little tender, and his prestige is not as high as that of Gao Yingxiang, so he has to use force to make the other big leaders submit.

Now absent from the natural enemy Sun Chuanting, Gao Yingxiang not only lives well, but also because of Yang Sichang's "four positive six corners, ten sides of the net" plan in history, the situation that the rogue in various places fell into a low ebb, and was destroyed by the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry into Shaanxi.

Gao Yingxiang is the leader of the alliance of the Liukou and the recognized leader of all the big leaders, and now he has accepted the title of King of Qin canonized by the Great Qing State in order to use the power of the Qing army.

I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Gao Yingxiang, who has ideals, has been guarding against the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry while uniting with the Qing army, and it is necessary to take the road of independence.

Gao Yingxiang will not be stupid, go all out to fight with the Ming army, how to make good use of the cooperation period with the Qing Dynasty to develop and expand the ranks of the rebels is his main purpose.

Now the benefits have been realized, because the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry has the ability to run, the safety of the front line from Hanzhong to Xi'an is safe, and there is no need to wander all day long, Gao Yingxiang finally got time to train his men and horses.

Although the two villains of Liukou and Jiannu have become allies, they do not trust each other and are secretly on guard, it is completely Fan Wencheng who runs back and forth to convey the communication between the two armies, and Zilharang and Azig agree to attack Xi'an City, and after success, half of the profits are captured.

Of course, it was impossible for the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to participate in the siege of the city, and their main task was to travel the inner and outer lines to ensure that the Liukou army was not raided by the Ming army.

Eliminating all the Ming troops that would definitely come to reinforce and eliminating the Ming troops who might break through from Xi'an was the specific division of labor obtained by Jiannu.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang Shou mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to surround Xi'an City, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city at all, but increased the intensity of training.

Gao Yingxiang will lead the troops, but the Liukou team will often be scattered when attacked by the Ming army, and the main reason is that there is insufficient training and lack of equipment.

The rogues have been on the move since their birth, so how can they have time to reorganize the army?

The rabble can't even understand the drum and trumpet, let alone how to line up, even if the vast majority of the rogue is a rotten life, it is useless to dare to fight hard.

Gao Yingxiang besieged the city of Xi'an, and the Qing army was responsible for sending reinforcements, which gave him valuable time to train the newly formed battalion leader.
