While leading the fleet south, Shen Xing ordered Zheng Zhilong to command the original sailors to sweep away the coastal waters of China and expel all foreign pirate forces, march to Annan and control the rice and grain producing areas in one fell swoop, while the two brothers Zheng Hu and Zheng Bao made every effort to develop the entire territory of Hainan Island with the support of the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce, and planted a large number of rice and other agricultural products.

A few months later, when the army led by Shen Xing and Wu Xianlu successfully met in Hunan, the situation changed dramatically, Zhang Xianzhong captured Xiangyang three years earlier than in the original history, Yang Sichang died of depression during the period of the commander-in-chief of the southwest, Zuo Liangyu took over the military power and was powerless, repeatedly fought with Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei, and became a wait-and-see attitude after successive defeats.

After Yang Sichang's death, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Ding Qirui, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, to take over and cooperate with Shen Xing to attack from the north and south, and continue to encircle and suppress the peasant army. Zuo Liangyu, who was watching without a fight, also led his troops to pursue Zhang Xianzhong. In autumn and August, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu's department in Xinyang, and he was wounded out of the mall, in the direction of Yingshan, and was defeated by Wang Yuncheng.

Prior to this, Luo Rucai had a disagreement with Zhang Xianzhong and defected to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. After the defeat of Xinyang, Zhang Xianzhong also voted for Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng wanted to reorganize his troops into his own troops, but Zhang Xianzhong was unwilling, but Li Zicheng wanted to kill him instead, but Luo Ru stopped him. Luo Rucai privately donated 500 horses, and Zhang Xianzhong went east from Henan through Anhui.

At this time, Li Zicheng's peasant army was besieging Kaifeng. Inspectors Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu and other main forces of the official army all went north to rescue Kaifeng. At the end of the year, Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to fall into Bozhou, entered the Ying, Huoshan District, and met with the "Fifth Battalion of the Left Movement", which was composed of the five battalions of the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying, the Ge Li Yan He Yilong, the Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, the King of the World Liu Xiyao, and the chaotic Wang Lin Chengyang. Since then, the peasant army has regained its momentum and conquered several cities in one fell swoop.

Captured Shucheng and Lu'an, entered Kelu Prefecture, and killed the prefect Zheng Luxiang. He also went down to Wuwei and Lujiang, and trained the navy in Chaohu Lake. Then he defeated the officers and troops of the chief military officers Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo. The victory of Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army caused a great earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River.

Gao Douguang, the governor of Fengyang, and Zheng Eryang, the governor of Anqing, were arrested and replaced by Ma Shiying. In October, Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army was defeated by the official army Liu Liangzuo's army, and Zhang Xianzhong led his troops west to Danshui. "Revolution Left Fifth Battalion" Beitou Li Zicheng. In order to avoid Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu withdrew from Huguang and went east. Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to capture Huangmei.

The peasant army went down to Danshui, Huangzhou, and Macheng. In Macheng, Zhang Xianzhong recruited tens of thousands of people. In May, the peasant army took Hanyang in the west, crossed the Yangtze River from Yadanzhou, and quickly captured the city of Wuchang. Wuchang is the seat of the palace of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu. The officials defending the city fled when they heard the news, and the troops recruited by the king of Chu responded to the internal response, and opened the city gate to welcome the peasant army. Zhang Xianzhong executed the queen of Chu, shared her meat with his subordinates, and at the same time pulled away all the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace of the king of Chu, and used hundreds of cars to pull it out. More than 6 million taels of silver were issued, and displaced people from all over the country were summoned.

In Wuchang, Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself the "King of Daxi" and established the peasant regime of Daxi. There were six ministries and five military governors, and local officials were appointed. "Change Wuchang to be called Tianzhufu, Jiangxia to Shangjiang County", and open a department to recruit talents, a total of 30 jinshi and 48 food students, all of whom were awarded state and county official positions.

At this time, Li Zicheng also established the title of king in Xiangyang, and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xianzhong's occupation of Wuchang. Li Zicheng asked someone to bring him a book to express his dissatisfaction. At this time, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers returned to the west, and most of the officials of the Onishi regime were captured and killed. Zhang Xianzhong was very scared in the face of this situation and considered where to go.

The two borders were connected, forming two major peasant army forces standing side by side. Zhang Xianzhong was weak and could not confront Li Zicheng. In August, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops south to Hunan and captured Yuezhou with 200,000 heavy troops. Then he tried in vain to attack Changsha and met Shen Xing, who was preparing for battle in Changsha.

The Shen family's army, which had previously dodged the edge and recuperated his strength, had no way to retreat at the moment, and if he cowered any longer, it might open the door of the cave in the Liangguang area.

On the eve of the decisive battle, the people were panicked, and the two general soldiers of Hunan, Yin Xianmin and He Yide, escaped from the city gate and surrendered, which made Shen Xing, who had occupied Changsha for several months, feel disappointed, because the hearts of the people who had been gathered before were instantly dispersed.

Shen Xing never dreamed that he would one day stand on the opposite side of the people and become the minions of the inherent class, hundreds of thousands of people in Changsha City dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, although Shen Xing also sent land and money, but in their eyes, all this was just a short-term purchase of people's hearts.

At this time, what was really united around Shen Xing were the frightened and trembling landlords, old fortunes, and the extremely rich officials, because they were now in heaven and there was no way to enter the earth, and there was really no second way except to hug Shen Houye's big thick legs.

Although Shen Xing is not a good person, he either wants land or money, but as long as he takes the initiative to hand over 90% of the weight happily, his life will still be kept for you, and as for the ones he killed, he is also a guy who is really lawless and resentful.

Zhang Xianzhong besieged the city for more than ten days and did not launch a general attack, the main reason is also that he is afraid of Shen Xing's name and his more than 30,000 new troops, the shadow of the famous tree, the former Zhulu Bo, and the current Zhenming Hou, that is the reincarnation of the rumored killing god, no matter how much Zhang Xianzhong has no one in his eyes, he has to think about three points.

The people who were sent to persuade Shen Xing to surrender today were the third wave of personnel, and their identities were also a few points higher, Wang Zhaolin, who was known as the military of the Eight Kings, and Yan Ximing. When the two were taken to the lobby of the Changsha Mansion, Shen Xing was sleeping on the table, saliva was full of books, and this scene made the two rebels with high IQ also amazed when they saw it.

The army is pressing, as the supreme commander, he can still sleep so leisurely, and he is also talented, no wonder there are many strange rumors about Shen Xing, it seems that there is no wind and no waves, and there is a reason for everything, and this trip to surrender is probably not as easy as the two of them imagined.

When the two were thinking about whether to say hello louder, Shen Xing wiped his saliva and woke up shaking his head.
