But what made Wu Sangui ponder inappropriately was that there was no movement in Zhongyi in the first two days, just when everyone thought that Yang Xuan was just talking, early in the morning of the third day, Yang Xuan ordered Chen Yingzong and others to lead their troops to cross the Han River and fight with the soldiers and horses of Guanning who defended Baocheng.

After Wu Sangui personally led the Guanning soldiers and horses, now he saw the loyal and righteous army killing, leading his troops to fight, both sides were cautious in casualties, and seeing the endless killing of the loyal and righteous army, Wu Sangui was afraid of being surrounded, and immediately led everyone to retreat.

Yang Xuan then ordered Chen Yingzong to lead his troops and horses to attack Baocheng, while he led most of his troops and horses to follow in pursuit.

Wu Sangui led his troops to retreat into the Baochuan Road, but to Wu Sangui's surprise, the loyal and righteous army was in hot pursuit, and from time to time sent troops over the mountains, killed in front of him, and then cut himself off.

On this day, as soon as the department arrived at Qingqiao Station, they saw the shouting of killing in front of them, and saw nearly a thousand men and horses rushing over to besiege Wu Degong.

Seeing that Wu Sangui was killed, the attacking generals gave up the attack, defended the dangerous pass, and set up a gate tiger squat cannon to bombard the Wu army under the mountain.

Wu Jun died a lot, Wu Sangui was furious, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, ordered Xia Guoxiang, Wang Jingong and others to lead the attack of the department, who expected that the other party seemed to have been prepared, relying on the mountains as a cover, according to the danger of defense.

After a day of fierce fighting, Wu Sangui failed to defeat the enemy in front of him, and made a detailed report, and in the mountains to the south, thousands of troops flashed out again, secretly rushing to this side.

Wu Sangui sighed a few times, shook his head and said, "How can Yang Xuan be so bold in using his troops and send several troops to outflank our army, it is really unbelievable and incredible."

Xia Guoxiang said: "Lord Wang, the young general has found out that it was Yang Bingyi's department who led his troops to intercept our army.

Lord Wang, think about it, this person was originally a rogue remnant party, and he was in this Qinling Mountains in his early years, and he was very familiar with the terrain, so Yang Xuan dared to send them to intercept us. ”

Fang Guangchen next to him also suggested: "Lord Wang, the plan now is to return to Guanzhong first, and then plan a big plan."

Grandpa Guo, think about it, there are many rogues in the loyal army, and they are very familiar with the terrain of the Qinling Mountains, if we are blocked by them, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out at that time. ”

Wu Sangui let out a long sigh, and only led the army to escape along the Bao Slope Road overnight, and the Tartars suffered many casualties due to the repeated interceptions and killings of the loyal and righteous army.

Seeing that the main force of the Tartars was still alive and returned to Guanzhong unharmed, Yang Xuan withdrew his troops and returned to Baozhong and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Everyone walked into the account one by one with a smile on their faces, although the pursuit did not win much, but it still forced tens of thousands of Tartars to withdraw from this Hanzhong Valley.

Looking at He Zhen and Liu Tichun who came with a smile, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "The two generals have joined my loyal army, and this campaign is quite smooth."

He Zhen said with a smile: "My lord, I have been fighting for several years, and the Ming army used to be so comfortable in the past, but I am ashamed to say that I am ashamed to say that I am like a duck and rush into the mountains."

This time to drive the Tartars, it can be said that galloping thousands of miles is like entering a no-man's land, even if you are a rebel in the past, you have never been so comfortable, happy, too happy. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and looked at everyone: "The two generals, won't they still resent Liu Xuanchu, right?" Let you eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, this is what I mean, when you go into battle to kill the enemy, you should be light and simple, and you should lead the most elite soldiers and horses.

Let's think about it, many old, weak, sick and disabled rushed to the front line, they couldn't eat, wear, live well, and finally died in the barracks.

Even if they go to the battlefield, at most they are waving flags and shouting on the side, do you still expect them to go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

When He Zhen and Liu Tichun heard this, they hurriedly said that although there were many people under them, these were the ones who could really be regarded as elite in a battle.

Yang Xuan nodded and continued: "Let's think about it again, although we have fewer soldiers and horses, we are more sophisticated, everyone can eat well, dress well, and get military salaries, so why not?"

Even if those old brothers are a little unbearable, you can let them tuntian.

You take out the accumulated savings, and the government and yamen are not enough to borrow interest-free loans for tun farming, and nothing else can be guaranteed, and everyone must be guaranteed to cultivate 20 acres of wasteland.

Based on some battlefield injuries and can't work, if the qualifications are acceptable, they will be selected for training, and then arranged to work in the yamen.

Let's talk about it, do the brothers have a good way home, why don't you understand my good intentions? ”

He Zhen and Liu Tichun were overjoyed when they heard this, and they thanked them even again.

As the saying goes, rather than for the peaceful dogs, now everyone is deep in the troubled times, many people are even forced to live in the deep mountains and old forests, and now I hear that those old, weak, sick and disabled do not need to be soldiers, and I hear that the government subsidizes the farming, why not?

China belongs to the agricultural civilization, although everyone has been a homeless for many years, but the farm foundation has not been thrown away, one person can guarantee 20 acres of land, or a few years can be completely rich in food and clothing, and live a well-off life.

Seeing that the two of them knelt down again and again to thank them, Yang Xuan walked down and personally helped the two of them up, and said comfortingly: "Everyone, there have been many drawbacks in the more than 280 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

On that day, I sold all my family's land in order to go to Chengdu to take the exam, so I was able to raise this little money for the journey.

Now, although other places have nominally abolished the three salaries, how can they only pay a penny of silver in a year?

Although we nominally levy three salaries, it is only 6 cents of silver per mu of high-quality fertile land, and the common people do not need to go out of the county to serve labor.

Now that the Tartars are invading, don't mention those in the past, the Tartars are all heroes and heroes, and those who surrender to the Tartars are just like that Wu Sangui, what loyalty and filial piety are full of three sides, it is a thing that brings disaster to the country and the people, do you say that is the case? ”

Of course, what the common people are most afraid of is not the showdown and the levy of the field, even if an acre of fertile land is levied for 5 yuan of silver, it is only half of the harvest in the soil, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the tenants' fields at most.

What the common people are most afraid of is to serve in labor, especially the kind of cross-prefecture and cross-provincial ones, leaving their hometowns to come to unfamiliar places for more than a year or even a few years, many people die of illness in a foreign land, and those who are lucky enough to return home have already been unrecognizable.

The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings were uprisings launched by the people because they were afraid of the Qin Law and the fear of labor and labor.

Now that the war in Hanzhong has ended, Yang Xuan made the great changes in Central Yunnan public, seeing everyone's angry look, Yang Xuan smiled: "Everyone also knows that when we were desperate with the Tartars in Hanzhong, a group of people were going to pull their hind legs, not only killing Yang Zhan and Yang Xingdu's commanders, but also attacking ZQ Mansion, YN Mansion, Wuding Mansion, and Jiading Mansion in a frenzy, and seizing the territory in the back, everyone said, what should I do?" ”

The news of Yang Zhan's killing had already spread throughout the army, and everyone was quite annoyed, but now when they heard Yang Xuan say this, everyone shouted loudly, vowing to take revenge.

Yang Xuan looked at He Zhen and Liu Tichun and asked, "General He, General Liu, the generals are full of righteous indignation, I don't know what the two generals think?" ”

Liu Tichun has nothing, Liu Tichun has been in the righteous army in the past, and he has no intersection with Fan Yixuan and others, and of course he agrees with it when he hears the infighting between the officers and the army.

But He Zhen is different, He Zhen was born in the official army, and later surrendered to the rebel army, plus he served under Fan Yixuan, hearing everyone say this, he hurriedly cleared himself: "My lord, I used to work with General Zhao Ronggui under Governor Fan Yixuan, just because the current affairs are difficult, we ..... it." ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Oh, speaking of this Governor Fan Yixuan, a good person is definitely a good person, but now he is too old to care about anything.

Although he didn't participate in the killing of Yang Zhan's general soldier this time, it was because he didn't care about it. ”

When Zhao Ronggui and He Zhen heard this, they cried and said, "My lord, as you said, Governor Fan has many shortcomings, but he is still loyal.

When you return to the teacher this time, I hope you don't want to embarrass Governor Fan Yixuan. ”

Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Hey, if Fan Yixuan was definitely a good official in the peaceful era, but now that the world is in turmoil, not only the people who need to save the time, but also the people who save the world, I went to the court to impeach Governor Fan, if he can enjoy his old age in peace, this will be good for everyone." ”

Zhao Ronggui and He Zhen glanced at each other and nodded again and again.

Yang Xuan stood up, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Everyone, since the defeat of the Tartars at the beginning of the year, I have set up the establishment of towns (divisions), although the whole army is divided into 8 infantry towns, but its establishment has not been fixed.

This time, we will block the Tartars, and this time we will also fix the Huichuan Province first, and then the towns will be expanded according to the merits of the war."

When everyone heard this, they all claimed yes.

Yang Xuan immediately released the town (division) preparation:

At present, although the town (division) is directly under the jurisdiction of the regiment, in the future the town (division) will establish such an establishment as an association (brigade).

Generally speaking, the first association (brigade) consists of two regiments, so that the towns (divisions) that are now organized are actually only the establishment of the association.

Just as the regiment is divided into A, B, and C, the town is also divided into three types: A, B, and C.

A type of town includes the town headquarters, 2 associations, 1 cavalry division (battalion), 1 guard battalion, 1 2-pound artillery battalion, 1 baggage regiment, 1 supplementary battalion, and a field branch.

The town includes the town headquarters, 1 concord and 1 infantry regiment, 1 escort battalion (2 cavalry brigades, 2 guard brigades), 2 2-pound artillery brigades, 2 baggage battalions, 1 supplementary battalion, and 1 field branch.

The town of C includes the town headquarters, 2 infantry regiments, 1 guard battalion (1 cavalry brigade, 2 guard brigades), 1 three-pound artillery brigade, 1 baggage battalion, 1 supplementary battalion, and a field division

Among them, the first-class town department includes 1 general soldier, 1 supervising army, 1 adjutant general, 1 chief of staff, 11 staff officers (2 in charge of intelligence, 5 in charge of operations, 2 in charge of logistics, and 2 in charge of military and political affairs), and 10 miscellaneous officers, 25 people.

The second and third class town chiefs are deputy generals and staff generals respectively.

After the completion of the expansion, there will be 11,500 people in Type A Town, 8,500 people in Type B Town, and 6,000 people in Type C Town.

Unlike other artillery guns of this era, the weight of the iron-core bronze cannon cast by steel mold casting method was much lighter than that of other artillery of this era.

For example, the 2 catties of guns cast, the iron cannons cast by Wu Sangui in the same era had 620 catties, and the iron core copper cannon that was forged and cast by iron molds for many times weighed less than 400 catties, which was very convenient to carry.

When the artillery casting was becoming more and more mature, Yang Xuan decided to equip the 2-catty artillery units with each town, and then complete the equipment when the conditions were ripe.

Considering that He Zhen and Liu Tichun each had more than 2,000 people, and Cao Xun and Yang Jing had a large number of people in the Southern Ming Army of Xinchuan, it was decided to form two towns on the original extrusion, namely:

The 8th Town (Division) was formed, and He Zhen was appointed as the chief soldier, deputy general Liu Tichun, and supervisor Liu Xuanchu, whose troops included the 17th and 18th regiments that had just been formed.

The 9th Town (Division) was formed, Cao Xun was appointed as the general soldier, Yang Jingxin, the deputy general, Yang Rongfang, and the 19th and 20th regiments were newly formed.

Liu Xuanchu was appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong, and Huang Hui of Yilong Zhixian was appointed as the governor of Xing'an Prefecture to implement the new policy locally.
