Chapter 818: Cutting the land to be king
Preserving the strength of the righteous army, striving for the cession of land for the king and the Ming Dynasty is Gao Yingxiang's ultimate goal.
If he didn't starve the Ming army in Xi'an City, he wouldn't launch a total of them, and he was very satisfied with his son-in-law Li Zicheng's decent answer.
He said: "The reason why this king is willing to spend time under the city of Xi'an is to mobilize more Ming troops, so that the Qing army can annihilate more Ming troops, and only then will the Ming Emperor make up his mind to draw the 'Red Flag Army' to help."
Let's lead but not start, your army still stays in Shaanxi and does not leave, and the Ming court's expectation that the Qing army will take the initiative to withdraw will come to naught, of course they know when the food in Xi'an will run out.
This king estimated that at this time, the Ming court was already deploying troops and preparing to come to the rescue of the vassal king."
Seeing that Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang analyzed the Tao at the head, which sounded reasonable, Fan Wencheng did not refute it and asked:
"I wonder if the King of Qin and the King of Xianyang have figured out how to deal with the reinforcements with the 'Red Banner Army' as the main force? Their combat effectiveness is not trivial, and they can really be ten against the rebels. ”
Gao Yingxiang said indifferently: "This king will settle accounts according to one as ten, if the 'Red Flag Army' has more than 20,000 people, this king will run away with his subordinates, and we can't afford to hide."
If their men are less than 20,000, this king will make up his mind to fight to the death with the 'Red Banner Army'.
This king believes that the Qing army will not sit idly by, and if our two armies are united, if we can't even fight the 20,000 'Red Banner Army', we won't be able to mix in the future. ”
Fan Wencheng stroked his palms and laughed: "King Qin's quick words are admired by the official, but the official wants to correct it."
The 'Red Banner Army' has 30,000 horses, and the Righteous Army and the Qing Army are of one heart and one mind, and they can completely encircle and annihilate them, and the Righteous Army will be able to obtain the sophisticated equipment of the 'Red Banner Army', and its strength will not be a problem to a higher level. ”
Gao Yingxiang said in a high voice: "It's so decided, even if 30,000 'Red Flag Army' come to the rescue, we will not take a step back, and do our best to wipe them out in Shaanxi." ”
Fan Wencheng's ultimate goal was to share the worries of the master and the red gangsters and unite with the rogues to fight against the "Red Banner Army" in Shaanxi, so as to better alleviate the pressure faced by Liaodong.
He was very bad, and knew that as long as the rogue fought with the "Red Banner Army", if he wanted to fight or leave, he would not be able to help Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng and others.
Because the mobility of the Manchurian cavalry is incomparable, if the rogues dare not do their best, the Manchurian cavalry will abandon them and flee away.
If the Liukou are entangled in the "Red Banner Army" and fight in a stalemate, it will be a golden opportunity to wait for a golden opportunity, when the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry suddenly come out and win an earth-shattering victory, and it will be possible to break the myth that the "Red Banner Army" is undefeated.
Even if the rogues are defeated by the "Red Banner Army", what will they do? After completing the mobilization of the "Red Flag Army" into Shaanxi, he Fan Wencheng made great contributions and was worthy of the favor of his master.
Seeing that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other big leaders of the rogue would at least have no dissent before seizing Xi'an, Fan Wencheng said goodbye and went back, he still had to persuade Jierharang, Azig and others to be restless, now the Qing army is not short of money and food, just wait for good news.
Seeing that spring was about to bloom, Gao Yingxiang had the expectation of occupying Shaanxi and establishing himself as the king, and planned to run the place, and he generously announced an order that made many destitute people excited.
The circulation of the "Red Flag Daily" is increasing day by day, and a lot of rogues have been collected, and Gao Yingxiang is also literate and often studied.
Gao Yingxiang, the style of the "Red Banner Army" An Min, has long been familiar with it, and he is ready to follow suit.
He announced in a high-profile manner that each household would be given 50 acres of land to cultivate, and that the harvest obtained in the autumn would be increased to 5 with the 21 of the Righteous Army, and that 50 acres of land would be given to everyone in vain, and that as long as the Righteous Army could occupy Shaanxi and hold it, these acres would never be recovered.
At this time, Shaanxi's population loss was too much, dying in war, fleeing, immigration, dying of starvation, and so on, it was definitely vast and sparsely populated, and the management of Gao Yingxiang's group line was just an order, and each family gave 50 acres of land to cultivate.
As a result, too many hungry people took the seeds and went to find their own acres of land with guaranteed water.
Of course, the poor people know the importance of the harvest, and it is estimated that spring plowing will begin in a dozen days, but it is unknown whether it will be their turn to harvest after they have ploughed.
Huang Han didn't expect that Gao Yingxiang survived in the absence of Sun Chuanting, this anti-bone boy is good at learning, and he actually realized a political program similar to Juntian's exemption.
If the survivors in Shaanxi could really get half of the harvest as rations, the thousands of families who got 50 acres of land would probably not recognize the Ming Dynasty even more, but instead recognize the thieves who gave them the land.
Later, the Ming army entered Shaanxi to suppress the Kou, and it was even more unpopular for Chongzhen to recover the lost territory.
After Fan Wencheng learned the news, he hurriedly negotiated with Zilharang and Azig, asking them not to send cavalry to plunder the people in the mountains and wilderness, and that the righteous army was in favor of the Qing army in the field.
As long as food can be obtained, the Qing army will be able to hold out in Shaanxi for more time, and the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for the Qing state.
During this time, Zierharang and Azig had Gao Yingxiang to supply food a lot easier, and they agreed not to harass the people, and to deal professionally with the clan's armed stockades, and to deal with the prefectures and counties that were still in the hands of the Ming army.
Next, the Qing army and the Liukou took joint action, and more than a dozen Shaanxi cities and cottages were still held, and the Liukou not only got a large number of weapons and armor, but also collected hundreds of large and small artillery and guns.
The Manchurian cavalry did not know how to play with firearms, and there were many people who could use firearms among the rogue people, Gao Yingxiang used the captured firearms to form a heavy battalion, and his confidant general Liu Zhe was in charge of this team.
With heavy weapons to participate in the attack, Gao Yingxiang is full of confidence in the future, and it is not far off to conquer Xi'an and occupy the entire Shaanxi to cut the land as the king!
Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, has the trump card in his hand is the "thief general" Zuo Liangyu, and the original Lu Xiangsheng's "Tianxiong Army" was dispersed because the main general was transferred to Yunnan to become Zuobu's political envoy.
Such soldiers and horses can't help but disperse, because they were short of food and pay when they were formed, and they were completely maintained by Lu Xiangsheng's personal charm and dominance.
It was also because Lu Xiangsheng shared weal and woe with the soldiers and was hungry together, so that many soldiers were moved and were willing to die with each other.
The main source of troops of the "Tianxiong Army" came from the three prefectures of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde, and when Lu Xiangsheng left, half of them chose to disperse and go home, and some of them were absorbed by Shi Kunshan.
Although Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong, and Xu Changyong, the three generals who defected from the Qing army camp and returned to the Ming Dynasty, received the official position of deputy general, the men and horses in their hands were not replenished.
Their men and horses are also corrupt in discipline, and in the past two years in Henan and Zhongdu, they have robbed and accumulated family funds, and there are seven or eight thousand people.
Zu Kuan's performance under Xiong Wencan's account was eye-catching, killing three famous and surnamed Liukou leaders, beheading more than 1,000 people, and was commended and recommended by Xiong Wencan as the chief military officer for aiding and suppressing.
