When the uprisings in Shandong and Shaanxi intensified, the northwest was also in turmoil, and the Qing court implemented shaving orders in various parts of Gansu, strictly ordering the army to shave their hair, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers of all ethnic groups in Gansu. According to the Ganzhou uprising, the Shunzhi era name was abolished, and the Ming Hongguang regime was established, calling for "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty". After the uprising, Ding Guodong stayed in Ganzhou, Mi Layin led the troops eastward, Liankeliangzhou, Lanzhou, Didao, Weiyuan, Hezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou and other towns, entered the siege of Gongchangfu City, and Guanlong was shocked for a while.

Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi, is as miserable as he wants at this moment, Tongguan, 30,000 Ming troops knock on the pass, bombarded with artillery day and night, as if he wants to raze the posture of Tongguan, Meng Qiaofang is to strictly urge the Tongguan guard Liu Fangming to defend to death, Shang Luo, Cao Dingjiao led an army of 20,000 to conquer Shangnan and Wuguan, Meng Qiaofang also let the general soldier Ren Zhen must resist Cao Bianjiao, and Hanzhong let him worry a little, because there are Aobai, Wu Sangui and others, the offensive of the Ming army is not violent, so that he can breathe a sigh of relief, but now there is an accident in Gansu, There are not many troops available around him, Jiang Hao is in Shanxi, he may threaten Shaanxi at any time, if he leads the army to quell the rebellion of Ding Guodong and Mi Layin, and the Ming army takes advantage of the situation to detour across the Yellow River to attack Xi'an, he will be completely finished, so Meng Qiaofang is heart is full of tears, I knew that it was better to disarm and return to the field earlier, what is the governor of Shaanxi!

There are a lot of troops in Shaanxi, there are 100,000 troops, but 50,000 are in Hanzhong, 10,000 are in Tongguan, 10,000 are in Luonan, and more than 10,000 are scattered in various places, and Meng Qiaofang has only 8,000 people around him, so after he heard that Ding Guodong and Mi Layin had an incident, he was also unpleasant, difficult to sleep at night, and became thinner and thinner.

In Shandong, Denglai lost, Qingzhou lost, Jinan lost, Dongchang to Yanzhou but more than 100 miles of the front, Yuan Shu and Yuyuan army nearly 300,000 people dragged He Luohui's men and horses, Cao Bianjiao after the defeat of Hong Chengchou, so that Liu Tiansi garrisoned Jinan, Song Xiance stayed in Shandong to reorganize the rebel army that surrendered from all over the country, and Cao Bianjiao led the army to take Dezhou, and these remnants who escaped from Jinan should be completely wiped out.

Shanxi, Zezhou Uprising, Lu'an Uprising, Pingyang Uprising, Qinzhou Uprising, Liaozhou Uprising, Datong Uprising, only one provincial capital Taiyuan was under the death of the Qing general Ye Chen, and it has not yet fallen.

In Henan, Cao Bianjiao also ordered Weng Zhiqi, the commander of the Huaihe River Water Division, to gather with Bai Wang and Jiao Lian's infantry to recover Huaiqing Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Weihui Mansion, where the Qing army had already had few troops, and the 20,000 army was approaching, and it was not difficult for them to take it.

The most lethal move is that Cao Bianjiao has ordered Zheng Sen to lead 20,000 Fujian sailors to the north and directly attack the rear of the Qing army in Liaodong, this battle is not to attack the city and plunder the land, but to insert into the heart of the Qing court, stirring up their nest is not peaceful, plus the Beiyang sailor Qi Biaojia's department to capture Tianjin, the blow to the Qing court will be fatal at that time.

Cao Bianjiao mobilized 230,000 standing troops of the Ming Dynasty this time, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the difficult water division and Yungui, almost all the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River went into battle, although there were not many soldiers and horses, but with the cooperation of the people everywhere, and the assistance of hundreds of thousands of righteous troops from all over the country, Cao Bianjiao could always have the upper hand and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Qing army was defeated and retreated.

Outside Yanzhou City, in Yuan Shu's camp, Yuan Shu had just received Cao Bianjiao's military order, and immediately recruited Li Jin and Gao Guiying.

"Inspector Yuan, I don't know what the two of us are calling here?"

Yuan Shu also smiled, stretched out his hand to signal them to take a seat, and then took out Cao Bianjiao's letter, and said to the two of them: "Two, this is the general's military order, you should take a look first!" ”

"The general wants us to march into Shaanxi?" When Gao Guiying and Li Jin read the letter, they were also very surprised, the current situation in the Central Plains is entangled and chaotic, although there are not many of them, only 10,000 people, but they are the elite of the Dashun army, now Yanzhou has not yet been taken, Cao Bianjiao is going to send 10,000 soldiers and horses into Shaanxi, Li Jin feels that it is not too risky, but some words are naturally difficult for him to say.

Yuan Shu seemed to see through their thoughts, and explained at the moment: "I also agree with the general's opinion, you may not know, the northwest is also in chaos, just before the tenth month, the Hui leader Ding Guodong rose up in Ganzhou, quickly captured Ganzhou, Gongchang, Lintao and other places, gathered 100,000 people, willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, you say, such a good opportunity, how can the general let it go, if you take Guanzhong in one fell swoop, then tens of thousands of Qing troops in Hanzhong will become turtles in the urn, just don't attack them, Trapped can also trap them in the middle, so the general will send you troops to attack the land of Yansui, but also to cut off the connection between the Qing army and Shaanxi, the general takes into account that the two of you are from Shaanxi, and both are Yan'an people, plus the Dashun army was known as a popular person in Shaanxi back then, after you go back, you can play a better effect, but I don't know what you two think? ”

"Since we have served the imperial court, thanks to the general who did not give up, we were properly settled, so that more than 200,000 of my troops could survive, the general has the grace of regeneration in us, and we have always wanted to serve the imperial court, the general but there is a drive, how can we refrain from cowering, although I Gao Guiying is a woman, but I also know the truth of knowing the grace of the retribution, I am willing to lead the headquarters of the women's army to go." Gao Guiying also got up and said at the moment.

Li Jin also nodded and said, "We are all willing to honor the general's orders and go to Shaanxi to meet the Qing army!" ”

Yuan Shu smiled, he was also very satisfied, and then said: "Since both of them have determination, then I won't say much about some things, the key to this battle, both of them know it, the two of them can go north from Huaiqing to enter the Pingyang territory first, and then they can rest for a day in Daning, and then cross the Yellow River, first take Yan'an Fushi, and take this military important place, this is the place where General Li and the Qing army Azig held each other, and should be familiar with this place. You fought well there, and you can directly threaten Xi'an when the time comes, and give the rest of the troops and horses who marched into Shaanxi to respond, and both of you will go back to prepare, and set off tonight by night. ”

"Yes!" Gao Guiying and Li Jin also gave up, and then they both went out.

"This open-mindedness is only possessed by General Cao!" Yuan Shu was also quite lamented at the moment, and used the remnants of the two Dashun armies to go, you must know that if they take advantage of the situation to take Shaanxi, they will be self-reliant, Cao Bianjiao will deal with the Qing court, and they can't do anything about them for a while, and the rest of the Dashun army in each army is only afraid that the wind will follow in response, Cao Bianjiao This is a risky move, but if they are used well, they can also become a turning point in the battle of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, and completely break the current deadlock, then the whole game of chess will be alive, and the Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly win!
