Chapter 509: 100,000 New Army
In February of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, just in the beginning of spring, Zheng Zhilong came to Nanjing City with his cronies, he did not go to visit the Confucius Temple, admire the Nanjing glazed tower, but went straight to the prince's line, to discuss the alliance, the prince has an army of 150,000, plus Jiangnan Gaojie, Liu Liangzuo and others, 300,000, Zheng Zhilong's 300,000 troops, together there are 600,000 horses, the army under the command of the two, in history, one is the vanguard of destroying the Southern Ming, and the other is the Zheng Zhilong army that can still compete with the Qing army for a while when the strength has shrunk, The two armies did not shrink in number at this moment, but expanded, and reached an alliance.
"Six hundred thousand?" Hearing this news, Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment, his subordinates together were only 150,000 troops, of which the new army of Henan was on the west coast of the Americas, where to garrison, Wang Heng on the side had a worry on his face, and said, "600,000 troops, the prince's 150,000 troops are built by the land south of the Yangtze River, well-equipped, and the armies of Jiangnan Gaojie, Liu Liangzuo and others are all regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as second-rate troops!" "In history, these people have shown good combat effectiveness in the process of exterminating Nanming.
"How is it good, but it has different thoughts" Xiao Chuan smiled, how many of the 600,000 troops are people at both ends of the first rat, there is no system of rewards and punishments under high pressure is a group of rabble, it is this kind of person, there is no threat, just like Fu Jian, they are all elites, but they can't do it at all, and they were directly defeated by the Beifu soldiers.
"As long as you keep the route," Xiao Chuan said, Shandong, Henan, the land of the three provinces of the cost of money and grain is an astronomical amount, can only rely on the new continent of plundering wealth to support, this is still not enough, all kinds of mechanical products are made, Wang Heng suddenly hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to Gongzi for occupying Henan"
Occupy Henan! Xiao Chuan understood what he meant, naturally it was not to occupy the land of Henan, but that the entire land of Henan had gathered in the land of Sanfu because of the famine, although he did not get the land, but he waited for most of the population of the entire region, and taking people was equal to taking land. "It's just too expensive"
************************
A touch of sunshine shines on the head of the city of Guide Mansion, there is no such smell of blood, there is no pungent smell of lime, there is already a dense market outside the city, and in the distance there are farmland, villages, and breeding sites, Li Yi stands at the head of the city, surrounded by a group of Beifu soldiers.
After spending countless silver, the Beifu soldiers restored the scale of the eight thousand people, they stood at the head of the city, like a sculpture, standing Zhou Yun on the side, this governor, the governor of the military and political affairs of a province in Henan, he was like a dying old man at the moment, just sitting on the ground next to Li Yi, without the posture that a nobleman should have, lost, really lost, it turned out that the land of the three provinces could not be managed, and now other state capitals have nothing to do with him, overhead, really overhead.
He looked at the general on the side, and said, "The old man thanked the general for the kindness of the four million people in Henan" He smiled self-deprecatingly, there was no marginal farmland outside the city, and there was a collective breeding that he had never seen, they relied on the land of these three prefectures to feed a population of four million, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Not enough, not enough, this general feels that it is not enough, there will be 100,000 new troops here!" ”
100,000, Zhou Yun smiled, 100,000 is nothing to a population of four million, but the new army they are talking about is not a farmer who is trained casually, but a real elite who is stubborn, wearing an iron armor, and 100,000 professional soldiers piled up with silver, this kind of army should not be able to do it with a population of four million.
All the villages spontaneously make all kinds of weapons, is there any organization? It is this kind of organizational power, for them there is no idea that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and their tentacles can even make the old people in the village who are over half a hundred years old, or the lame people do what they can for them.
He couldn't understand how the other party made everyone in the village work for him, and how did this system do it? He didn't understand, what he knew was that under this system, who could resist the Ming Dynasty? It is impossible for the prince to extend his tentacles to the countryside in his life, and he can't even reach into the bazaar, the Qingzhou army can mobilize even if it is a lame, old man, and young children can let them do what they can for themselves, maybe this is a full-scale war, and the prince, he shook his head, all the people in Qingzhou and the core of the power under the prince's command are contending, and one force is confronting a state, this game is unfair.
"What are your plans, general" Zhou Yun said, according to this organizational ability, who is the opponent in the world, Li Yi shook his head, and said, "I don't know, look at Gongzi's plan" He also understands this organizational ability, "I will train 100,000 new troops now!" ”
"The new army that the general said, the word new army is probably difficult to describe the strength of this army" Zhou Yun smiled, the new army of the Qingzhou army is either a random weapon or a soldier, and there is not much silver for a piece of equipment, as well as training, and even a terrible number of scholars, that is, the number of scholars is full of soldiers, and the cost of this army is unimaginable.
"When the 100,000 new army can resist the 600,000 coalition army of Prince Zheng Zhilong, it is a certain goal," Li Yi Chen Sheng said, "There is also to resist the thieves, resist Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng!" ”

Sichuan, in the dense jungle, the Yi soldiers and Zhang Xianzhong soon had an inextricable relationship, Zhang Xianzhong relied on the Yi soldiers in Sichuan and Yunnan Guizhou to eat completely, relying on these Yi soldiers, he and the local Tusi money on the line, the original Ming army beat him, he was fighting away, and now if he fights again, the Ming army has become an away battle.
In the dense jungle, countless black shadows flashed, Yi soldiers, this group of killers in the jungle are like ghosts, shuttling through the dense forest, they are the most difficult killers in the jungle, Yi soldiers, but also Zhang Xianzhong's guarantee for continuation, with these people he can continue to expand, expand to Yungui, Mu Wangfu, Daming eliminated Dali, Luchuan after opening up Yungui, occupied the land here, and sent Mu Jiayong to Yunnan Town.
Guizhou in Yunnan is his next goal, and at the same time Zhang Xianzhong turned his eyes to Wusizang, which is a place to pay tribute to the Ming army, Zhang Xianzhong and the generals looked at the war horses in front of them, with joy on their faces, and said, "Okay, this horse is really good" He admired, and all the generals nodded.
"There are many good horses in Longdi, and there are Wusizang, the conditions are bad, but they are rich in good horses" Wang Zhaolin said, the eyes of other generals were burning, they were naturally unwilling to develop in Yungui, who was willing to go to the deep mountains and old forests, and even the Yi soldiers who relied on the Tusi who relied on the refuge were all Dao "King, let's go to the north, where is the production area of war horses" The crowd nodded.
"War horses are produced in the north, but where is Li Zicheng, he can really attract all the ideas of the Ming army" Wang Zhaolin said, "Not to mention Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting will soon lead his own soldiers to come" Among the generals, there are naturally Qin soldiers who surrendered to generals, and when they looked at him, they all seemed to shake their heads when they thought of the Qin army's terrible combat effectiveness.
"Sun Chuanting" Zhang Xianzhong repeated the name
