"This time, our eight health centers, with a total population of more than 90,000 people, have liquidated 356,325 acres of land! Recovered 210,000 taels of silver in taxes and 400,000 stones in grain" Soon the praise paintings in various places will quickly calculate the harvest and quickly send the information to Jinan Mansion, hearing Wang Heng's words on the side, Xiaochuan was overjoyed in his heart, and sighed a little that these 90,000 people are the entire population plus the number of old and weak women and children, and most of the young and strong people are also farmers who are completely hoeed to the big, and there are few professional soldiers who are expected by themselves.

"Among them, there are also soldiers who have been trained for generations since childhood, and the number of them together is less than a thousand!" Wang Heng said, his tone was a little embarrassed, Xiaochuan also shook his head It is still too little, many of the military households in the guard system have been in the army for generations and have practiced martial arts since childhood, they have been professional soldiers for generations and are also the essence of the guard system, but these professional soldiers are becoming fewer and fewer, becoming tenants of farming, or becoming landlords, or simply fleeing.

"Transfer all of them to Qingzhou to form a fat cavalry battalion" Xiao Chuan smiled and said, but Han Gang was definitely unwilling to win people like this, and finally got a few powerful subordinates to take them away for himself, but how? Powerful cavalry can only have good results when they are trained together.

This year, you can train 6,000 soldiers of the Fifth Military Battalion, and the soldiers of the Fifth Military Battalion are equivalent to the ordinary infantry armor of Houjin, and the more powerful Baya soldiers have no way to compare, and they can only make up for this gap through firearms, or the kind of fighting style that kills all enemies together, how about next time? After they developed the theory of firearms, they cracked their own fighting style that ended up together, what should they use to fight against the Bayala soldiers of the Qing army!

Only through the barracks can the soldiers of the forbidden army compete with the Qing army's Baya soldiers, or grow up through their own boy scouts, but they don't have time to wait for the ten-year cycle, and the Qing army will also develop stronger combat power through ten years. and Zhang Xianzhong, a thief who likes to develop silently.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong, a heinous thief who burned the imperial tomb, surrendered in Gucheng, Ming history records that he surrendered after 40,000 soldiers, he asked for 100,000 food, and Li Zicheng was beaten to the point that there were still eighteen cavalry defeated and fled to Shang Luoshan, it can be seen that the gap between the two, not only in their generals, but also in some battle results, but Zhang Xianzhong's luck was really back, and he ended his life by an arrow cluster, and he did not catch up with so many Ming troops to surrender to him.

"How about Zhang Xianzhong and Gu Cheng?" Xiao Chuan asked, Xiao Chuan is the most concerned about Zhang Xianzhong, he is the henchman among the thieves in the future.

"He and Gu Cheng frequently contacted the nearby Gezuo Fifth Battalion, and seemed to want to recruit five people, and those five people seemed to want to join Zhang Xianzhong's command" Wang Heng lost, his tone was a little worried, and said: "Zhang Xianzhong is afraid that he wants to completely master these more than 40,000 elites at this moment."

"The Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion?" Hearing this name, Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment This is a transcendent existence in the late Ming Dynasty, and his combat effectiveness is not weaker than Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, but it is the joint command of five people, and it cannot be coordinated and unified, and there is no way to compare Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and said: "If he is successfully recruited, won't Zhang Xianzhong have more than 100,000 under his command!" ”

"It's 120,000!" Wang Heng said, "And his child soldiers, as well as the new army he recruited on the road, many of them were defeated by the Ming army, or horse thieves from all walks of life, or bankrupt horse households!" Moreover, he trained more boring rakers and three-eyed gunners in the army, and these two types of troops are very suitable for thieves with uneven levels of craftsmen."

"120,000, what does he live on?" Xiao Chuan was relieved when he thought about it, the other party was a thief, why worry about food and grass when he ran all the way to grab the road, but in this way, Xiao Chuan was also relieved, so he ran all the way and was strong all the way for a long time, and the people's hearts were lost, and everyone everywhere resisted, which was when he was struggling.

"But he seems to have set his sights on Sichuan!" Wang Heng said: "There are traces of Zhang Xianzhong's shearing thief activities in Sichuan," he said.

Sichuan! In history, Zhang Xianzhong will have to wait at least a few years to become the master of Sichuan, does Zhang Xianzhong want to enter the place in advance, Sichuan has a population of tens of millions, the country of abundance, and the unique advantages of Shu brocade. Where is it like their own Shandong disasters are frequent, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and looted once, and the thieves plundered several times The population has decreased sharply, and said: "Impossible, the main force of the Ming army is still in the pass at this moment, and they want to enter the Shu land, just looking for death!" ”

The elite of the Ming army, the Qin army, and the Tusi wolf soldiers are all in the pass at the moment, and they have just defeated Li Zicheng's troops to defeat Shang Luoshan, and said: "In this way, if you enter the Shu land, not to mention the white pole soldiers, even if the border army is on the top, he will also collapse!" ”

"I think it may flow to Shu first, and wait until the thieves are around, and wait for the Qing army to go south," Wang Heng said, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, he looked at the north, the Qing Dynasty in the north must be sharpening his knives at this moment, and at this moment, their Han Eight Banner firecrackers have supplemented the Koreans, and the Han people from all over the country have reached the point of 50,000, and the blacksmith shops outside Shenyang City are building firearms day and night, and when they go south, isn't it the best time for Zhang Xianzhong to enter Sichuan.

The Qing army in the north is like the most perfect war machine in ancient China, everything exists for war, the unique system of farming and warfare, the Bayala soldier system, and the use of the Eight Banners system for the excellent troops of different races, until he sharpens his knife and goes south. Battle of Matsuyama! Stay until the Battle of Matsuyama in a few years! If Zhang Xianzhong enters Sichuan, he is really powerless to stop it.

If this battle breaks out, Zhang Xianzhong, who has been waiting for a long time, will inevitably choose to enter Sichuan, so the Ming army is too busy to take care of itself, and when he occupies Sichuan and Shu, he has this rich land to feed his strong army, and then he can also use the resources of Sichuan subway craftsmen and other resources to build a stronger firearms army, as well as the surrender of the Ming army in that place, and this is a good time to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, but the Ming army did not seize the opportunity, at this moment Li Zicheng was defeated and the elite of the Ming army fell up and down, and did not annihilate Zhang Xianzhong's main force but accepted his surrender, Give the most dangerous enemy a respite.

"He will rebel after October next year," Wang Heng said, seeing Xiao Chuan's puzzled gaze, he said: "The food he looted is only enough for him to eat until October next year, if he doesn't want to starve to death, he can only continue to loot."

"Next October" Xiaochuan shook his head, and then Zhang Xianzhong would rebel again, saying: "He will not set his sights on this Sichuan Shu"

"No, in this case, the place where they are flowing will not be Sichuan and Shu, and no one will plunder their own territory in the future," Wang Heng said.

Xiao Chuan smiled, since he regarded Sichuan as his future base, how could he loot this place and destroy his war potential. As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest.

"Report!" A person from outside looked nervous, holding a scroll in his hand and said: "There is intelligence" Xiao Chuan's eyes suddenly became solemn when he saw the letter he handed over. Wang Heng also had a hint of fear in his eyes when he saw it.
