Chapter 606: Divide the troops and decide where to go
Seeing the Marquis of Dongping, Cao Huachun, who was already the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, Wang Chengen didn't want to play a dumb riddle to tell Huang Han the news of Jinzhou's instability.
Huang Han saw that the two ministers came to ask for advice sincerely, so he didn't say anything, but they could rest assured that even if they rebelled against the ancestral army of Liaozhen, the people of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan would be enough to hold the Guanning defense line.
It's just that the imperial court must treat the soldiers who stick to Liaoxi well, and must not let tens of thousands of soldiers lack food and pay less, and must not transfer troops to the "Xinguanning Army", which is at an absolute disadvantage compared with Jiannu.
It is suggested that the imperial court should intensify the construction of the Jizhen defense area, and pay special attention to the Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, Gubeikou and other passes of the Great Wall of Jizhen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
The north defended the outer Great Wall, the west guarded the inner Great Wall, and the south was bounded by the Yellow River, so that the land of Gyeonggi would not be ravaged by Jiannu again, and it would prevent the rogues from burning, killing and looting.
As long as the Gyeonggi Prefecture Suncheonfu, Yongpyeongfu, Baoding, Gwangpyeong, Daimyofu, and Hejian Prefecture can be ensured for a long time, the Ming Dynasty will not be shaken at all.
The Yellow River really did not hide any private interests, and the words he said were all insightful, and suggested that the emperor should never tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and strictly guard the land of Gyeonggi, so that this densely populated area would not be affected by the military disaster and millions of displaced people would be born is the bottom line.
In fact, this is to take the situation of not being able to completely annihilate the Liukou, and simply let Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi those places that have been destroyed become battlefields, and do not hesitate to let there be no roosters for thousands of miles, but also to ensure that the people in Gyeonggi can live and work in peace and contentment.
The two ministers fully understood, and after consulting many ways to calm the people, they returned to the Forbidden City after thanking them.
That night, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen returned the views of Dongping Hou to the Son of Heaven, Chongzhen was wary of and suspicious of Huang Han because Huang Han was extremely capable, and he listened to Huang Han's advice very seriously.
Huang Han asserted that even if Zu Dashou offered Jinzhou to surrender to the enemy, the 60,000 or 70,000 "Xinguan Ning Army" led by Huang Yizhou, Yang Dalang, and Yang Danian, which was formed by the three general soldiers of Jizhen, Shanhaiguan, and Ningyuan, was enough to deal with the attack from Jiannu, and there was no suspense in holding the Ningyuan defense line.
This conclusion reassured the emperor, who had insomnia for several nights, and slept soundly that night.
The next morning, the emperor directly ordered to send Huang Degong to lead 4,000 men and horses in Beijing to guard the front line of Huifu, send Zhou Yuji to lead 4,000 men and horses to help guard the 300-mile Great Wall in the area of Gubeikou, and send Sun Yingyuan to help defend the three passes in the inner 3,000 people and horses in Beijing.
Bestow the sword of Fang Zhenghua Shang Fang, and give this great eunuch who supervises the army with more power, he is not only the commander of the Jingying but also responsible for supervising the garrison of the entire Gyeonggi land.
Fang Zhenghua was reused by the Son of Heaven, of course, he did his best, and he immediately led a few henchmen eunuchs and a thousand general Beijing cavalry to begin to inspect the Inner Great Wall and Jizhen Pass.
Guarding the land of Gyeonggi is to stabilize the Ming Dynasty, which is fundamentally a new idea put forward by the Marquis of Dongping in the face of endless trouble, and all the civil and military generals in the Jingshi have expressed their support in a high-profile manner.
Many Beijing officials' families live in Gyeonggi, and it is better to be able to ensure the safety of themselves and their families when they can't manage the safety of others, and the support rate is naturally 100%.
Chongzhen also issued a secret decree to Hong Chengchou, with the intention of course to prevent it from happening and weaken the thousands of Liaozhen people led by Zu Dabi, Zu Dacheng and so on as much as possible.
Hong Chengchou at the end of Chongzhen's seventh year may be the most powerful feudal official in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the most tired official, and he should also be the minister with the heaviest responsibility.
Because Chen Qiyu was imprisoned, Hong Chengchou not only wanted the governor to be on three sides, but also to govern five provinces.
Although Chongzhen has issued many edicts to distribute grain for disaster relief, he can't save millions of hungry people with a drop of water.
In addition, officials and eunuchs at all levels still dare to be greedy for life-saving food, too many hungry people take risks, and there are countless people who follow the thieves to kill people and set fire to their homes and rob houses.
King Gao Yingxiang and the generals Li Zicheng, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, etc., returned to Shaanxi again, and more than 200,000 young and middle-aged people in Qin joined their army.
They ravaged Gongchang, Pingliang, Lintao, and Fengxiang like locusts, causing the land of Sanqin to be miserable.
The thieves were so strong that the generals did not dare to fight, and Hong Chengchou, who was called "Hong Shaved Head" by the Liukou, was at a loss for what to do, so he had to order Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang to part ways and enter Shaanxi.
Finding that the official army was coming to Shaanxi and was about to form an encirclement, the well-behaved Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other thieves took advantage of the convenience of the Yellow River's natural danger and freezing to go to Henan.
Zuo Liangyu, who did not contribute to the work, retreated in Xin'an and Mianchi, preserved his strength, and allowed hundreds of thousands of rogues to pass through the defense area, making Hong Chengchou's siege on all sides come to naught.
The wheel of history has entered Chongzhen for eight years, and the start of Daming is not very good.
The thieves Gao Yingxiang, Liu Guoneng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying and other troops went out of eastern Shaanxi to Nanshan, entered Henan, Lianke Chenzhou, Lingbao, Bishui and other places, and did a good job of burning, killing and looting.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, hundreds of thousands of Liukou men and horses captured Xingyang, and the organization was much stricter than that of Wang Jiayin's era.
The thieves Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting Collapse Heaven, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King and other thirteen families and 72 battalions gathered in Xingyang to discuss how to burn and loot more effectively.
Li Zicheng, a general, stood out and openly put forward the policy of "dividing troops and determining where to go" at the Xingyang Conference, which was actually to divide the territory for each family and carry out division of labor and cooperation, so as not to cause a waste of resources that could be used for robbery.
The thieves led by Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, etc., attacked the Ming official army in Sichuan and Huguang.
Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Shooting the Heavens, Reincarnated King, etc., led their subordinates to deal with the Ming army in Shaanxi, and Luo Rucai, Guo Tianxing, etc. were responsible for the Ming army from the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
Li Zicheng himself followed Gao Yingxiang and teamed up with the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, the sweeping king Cao Wei, the Sweeping Tiger, the Sweeping Tiger, and the Kuo Tianfei to prepare to attack the east, and strive to take down more places that the rogue had never touched.
Lao Huihui and Nine Dragons were responsible for the back and forth, and found that the accomplices could not withstand the attack of the official army and reinforced them.
The "winged tigers" who were active in the Taihang Mountains bordering Henan and Shanxi became famous because of the ambush of Jiannu men and horses, and now they are also one of the 72 battalions.
There is no such person in history, Jin Minghu's men and horses are a bandit army deliberately cultivated by Huang Han.
Why is there more "winged tiger" battalion or 72 battalions in the Liukou who held the conference in Xingyang? It is estimated that in fact, there may not really be seventy-two battalions at all, and the literati just made up a figure by trickery and fiction.
