After a long time, Zhao Sixuan, a fellow intellectual, asked: "My lord, just now you repeatedly claimed that you would suspend the military operation against the Liukou, I don't know if it is true?" ”

After retiring the general personnel, Yang Xuan sighed and said: "Everyone, although the Liukou suffered a crushing defeat in Hanzhong, in the past half a year, my Ming Dynasty troops have captured some important places, but under the counterattack of the Great Western Army, it is difficult to continue in various places, but they are suppressed by the Liukou.

Under the supervision of Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, General Yang Zhanyang, although he repeatedly defeated Zhang Hualong, the governor of the right capital of Daxi, and captured Xuzhou, but under the counterattack of Zhang Kewang, the general of Liukou Zhengdong, he was exhausted and retreated to Linzhou.

Although Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Liangchang, the political counselor of eastern Sichuan, and Zeng Ying, the deputy general, led the remnants to capture Fuling and Chongqing, and also thwarted the army of Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan in the west, Zhang Wenxiu reorganized his troops and horses to fight again, and the Ming army was unable to do so although there were many soldiers.

Staff generals Cao Xun and Liu Daozhen and others were once very strong, but they fell for the countermeasures of the Great Western Army, and now they are facing Zhang Nengqi, the general of Dingbei of the Great Western Army, and they are really unable to do it.

When I return to northern Sichuan, we will control Shunqing Mansion, an important town in northern Sichuan, and go north along the Jialing River to threaten Baoning Mansion and Lizhou Counties (today's Guangyuan City), cut off the Jinniu Road, block the road of the Great Western Army to the north of Sichuan, and if we march west along Tongchuan Prefecture, we will threaten Chengdu Mansion, which has a special location and dangerous terrain, and has various departments with the Southern Ming Dynasty

Although we have gone through all the hardships and dangers to recover Shunqing Mansion, Dazhou and other places, but the strength is only 6,000, and Baoning Mansion has rebel generals Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui Division, Xichong has Wang Jiye Division, Tongchuan Prefecture has Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu Division, Liukou strength is ten times that of our army, if Liukou comes to attack with all his strength, we are in danger. ”

Qian Bangxin was slightly stunned, hugged his fists to the south and said: "My lord, although the situation is difficult and dangerous now, but adults are born, when they understand the righteousness of the world, how can their knowledge be under ordinary martial artists?"

If the enemy is strong, should we make peace with the enemy because he is strong? ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and laughed: "Of course not, Liu Bei was assisted by Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, and it would take several years to occupy Sichuan to quell the rebellion of local forces, and Zhang Xianzhong was born as a thief, although he was strong and strong, but since he entered Sichuan, he has made many strategic mistakes, plus he is only assisted by Wang Zhaolin, Yan Ximing, and Jiang Dingzhen, how can he divide Sichuan?"

Everyone was shocked, as Yang Xuan said, now the Great Western Army is strong and strong, and the Southern Ming Army is at a disadvantage, how do you think that the Great Western Army is at a disadvantage, and Zhang Xianzhong will be defeated by the Ming Army?

And Yang Xuan seemed very calm, although the Great Western Army attacked from all sides, such as Zhang Kewang, the general of Zhengdong, Zhang Hualong, the governor of the Right Army, and Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the Yungui army of Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, confronted the line of Xuzhou Mansion in southern Sichuan.

Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan in the west of the country, Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Liangchang, the political officer of eastern Sichuan, and Zeng Yingbu, the deputy general, confronted the city of Chongqing.

The generals Zhang Nengqi and Feng Shuangli of the Dingbei of Daxi confronted the righteous army of Cao Xun, the general of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Daozhen and others on the front line of Yazhou.

The only ones that the Great Western Army can still fight now are Zhang Dingguo's department in Tongchuan Prefecture and Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion in Chengdu Prefecture.

According to everyone's analysis, in the situation of failing to do his best everywhere, Zhang Xianzhong, who can fight well, will definitely make a surprise strategy to break the balance in order to regain the initiative on the battlefield.

If the Ming army can block Zhang Xianzhong's counterattack once or twice, the Great Western Army will inevitably be weaker at that time, until it finally goes to extinction.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Xianzhong counterattacks in other directions, what everyone is most worried about is that Zhang Xianzhong concentrated his forces to storm northern Sichuan, and the main reason is that the loyal army is almost completely isolated from the rest of the Ming army.

Now in Baoning Mansion in the upper reaches of the Jialing River in the northwest, Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui led a large army to garrison Baoning Mansion, which may go down the river at any time, attack Pengzhou, and cut off our army.

In the north, it is the local tyrants Yao Tiandong, Yuan Tao and others who retreated to Bazhou, although their troops have been defeated by our army many times, but the two sides have been on the same footing and cannot use troops.

In the west of Xichong, the Liukou King Jiye led his troops to garrison here, and may cooperate with the Liukou army to outflank our army at any time.

To the southwest, Zhang Dingguo, who occupied Tongchuan Prefecture, and to the south, Zhang Wenxiu, who was attacking Hezhou.

In addition, compared with other departments, the loyal and righteous army implements the strategy of elite soldiers, and the department is no more than 7 battalions of the infantry army, 1 battalion of cavalry, and 1 battalion of the navy, and the whole army is only more than 5,000 people.

Qian Bangxin wiped the beads of sweat from his face again and again, and asked, "My lord, it is only now that the old man understands that we are in a difficult situation." For now, how will adults solve this crisis? ”

Yang Xuan smiled, and immediately ordered Ma Mingluan, a staff officer in the army, Wang Shuji, Wang Gao, Yang Fuquan, and others, the captains of the pro-soldier brigade, to inspect various places and inspect the formation and training of the security brigade.

Ordered Qian Bangxin to go to the Qianhu Office in Guang'an Prefecture to check the land encroached upon by the Qianzong and Baizong of the Wei Office.

He ordered Pham Van Quang to clean up local taxes and prevent officials from taking bribes.

Zhao Sixuan and Huang Hui of Yilongzhi County were ordered to elect the squires in each election and establish a squire meeting.

He was stationed in Shunqing Fucheng, supervising the study of the generals in the officer training camp day and night, and going to various military camps from time to time to conduct combat drills.

First of all, after Ma Mingluan, Wang Shuji, Wang Gao, Yang Fuquan and others received the order, they each obtained documents from the army, rode on war horses, took a small team of guards, and went to various counties to inspect.

This local security brigade is a local security organization established by Yang Xuan according to the militia organization of the previous life, and the township is the unit, with the township as the unit, each village produces ten strong men, the village chief is the squad leader, and the township chief is the hundred chiefs, and the villager security brigade is formed.

If you encounter a rogue or a local thug, you can cover the retreat of the villagers to protect the safety of the villagers, or retreat into the city, and try to protect the county seat.

All those selected for the security team are exempt from hard labor for the current year.

Now that this kind of grassroots security organization has been established in all counties and townships of Pengzhou, other counties need to be formed in these six or seven months.

Wang Shuji walked on the road for three days, and on this day he arrived in Dongxiang County, which was plagued by local tyrants, and came to the official mansion to meet Wang Rimeng, the county governor, and after checking that the official documents were correct, Wang Rimeng called Liu Dahe, the secretary of the military room, and saved some Wang Sanma, and briefly reported the formation of the local security brigade in Dongxiang County.

Liu Dahe was born in Xiucai, originally taught in the township, this time the loyal army recovered Dongxiang County after the job of the study book, thank you for nothing, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he is completely a layman.

And Wang Sanma is different, Wang Sanma was originally a squad leader in the army, and when the official army attacked the local tyrant, Wang Sanma charged ahead, but unfortunately was injured by a falling rock, and became a cripple and fell disabled.

In the past, the soldiers were at the bottom, and even after they died in battle, they had to be patched by their families.

Wang Sanma was recruited, but this was just asking for more blessings.

Seeing that he was walking with a limp, when Wang Sanma was worried, he was called to the general Guo Chonglie by the battalion headquarters, and when he saw that he was walking with a limp, Guo Chonglie first made fun of him, and then told him the good news.

According to the will of adults, those who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and are physically disabled and may cause difficulties in their future lives will be assigned to local areas after the war, and will be assigned certain official positions according to their military merits and military positions.

Wang Sanma was the captain of the squad in the army, and he killed two local thugs on the battlefield, so he was assigned to this military room to save some positions.

At the beginning of the year, Fucheng issued an official document asking all localities to set up local security brigades to seek information for the loyal and righteous army and protect local peace.

Liu Dahexiu, a clerk in the military room, was born in a talented background, was a procrastinator, and had a scribe style, so he only coped with the formation of a local security brigade, and went to the townships to take a look, and asked each village and township to put forward candidates, and after a simple training for half a day, the formation of the security brigade was completed.

Wang Sanma, who was born in martial arts, knew that this would not work, so he limped to the townships every day, urged the villages to take up his posts, and trained regularly, but he was just a saving point, and the township and village chiefs below didn't pay attention to it at all.

It took so many months of hard work to complete the training of three brigades.

And why these three township chiefs are so enthusiastic, mainly because when the local tyrants were in turmoil, they used to be rampant and domineering in the township, bullying men and women, and the villagers were quite indignant at that time, but because the other party had a knife in his hand, it was bright and bright, and the villagers only had hoes in their hands, so they were not able to fight at all.

Now seeing that the government has come forward to set up a local security brigade, the people in the village have enthusiastically participated, although only the particularly brave people have received the long knives and spears distributed by the government, but everyone is also quite brave with steel drills and hoes.

Wang Shuji carefully watched the training of the villagers, and once went down after two moves, he felt that the morale of the villagers was quite strong, and everyone could cooperate with each other when fighting.

Wang Sanma introduced, how many villagers have fought with local tyrants, and how many have practiced martial arts? Although I heard that the Loyal Volunteers are treated well, everyone either already has a family, or their parents are too old to leave.

After watching it for five days like this, Wang Shuji felt that a man with a military career like Wang Sanma was suppressed by scholars, and although he was aggrieved in his heart, he didn't dare to say it clearly in the official document.

Half a month later, Wang Shuji was inspecting the training of the security brigade in the nearby Daxian County, and suddenly heard that Wang Sanma rushed to the county, saw Wang Shuji from a distance, and repeatedly arched to express his gratitude.

Three days ago, Wang Sanma was training in the countryside below, and was suddenly called to the yamen hall by the yamen, and Wang Rimeng, the county magistrate, took out a letter and a letter of appointment, telling him that he had been officially appointed as the secretary of the military room.

Looking at this letter of appointment signed by the general himself, Wang Rimeng seemed quite affectionate, and asked if he had any old relationship with the general?

Wang Sanma felt his head buzzing and didn't know how to answer. Of course, when he was in the army that day, he had met the general, but as the captain of the squad, he never had a chance to speak.

Wang Rimeng felt incredible, pointed at Wen Zha and shook his head, according to his logic, if it weren't for the old one, how could he personally issue such an official document, and asked all counties and military offices to be retired warriors in the army.

The secretary of the military room and the barracks are appointed by the general yamen, and are selected once a year, and the best can re-enter the barracks and serve as officials in the grain road.

You don't have to fight to transport food, it's a beautiful difference, and if you are a little greedy, you can definitely make a fortune.

Back in the barracks, Wang Sanma couldn't calm down for a long time?

Although the officers and men in the army are very strict in their training, and they are slightly not up to standard, the whole squad and the entire squad are more trained, but the adults are very good to the soldiers, not only are they well treated, but they also have pensions for the soldiers who died in battle, and many of the seriously injured soldiers are resettled.

Is it just because he used to be a squad leader in the army?

Wang Sanma couldn't believe that the general had given such an order.

After thinking about it all night, Wang Sanma thought that Wang Shuji took the initiative to help speak, so he ran hundreds of miles overnight to come to Daxian County to thank Wang Shuji for his kindness.

Wang Shuji felt incredible, and comforted Wang Sanma vigorously, asking him to do things well and repay the generals.

At present, although it is rumored in society that the soldiers are the last to serve as soldiers, we must work hard.

When Wang Sanma heard this, he also seemed quite excited, and he kowtowed again and again, swearing that he would definitely train the security brigade and not embarrass the adults.

During this period, although the formation and training of security brigades in various localities was the top priority, it was also quite important to clean up the land that had been encroached upon by the thousands and hundreds of security posts.

Qian Bangxin came to Guang'an Prefecture by boat, and Li Shikai, the governor of Guang'an, and Chen Yingzong, the commander of the garrison and the 2nd battalion, came to see him, and everyone sat together to discuss the situation of the Qianhu Office in Guang'an.
