The battle with Li Zicheng came to an end, the Xuanjia Army was a complete victory, when it went out, it was a 150,000 army, and after a series of incorporations after the war, it became stronger and stronger, reaching 200,000.

The generals who surrendered under Li Zicheng included the military advisor Song Xiance, the generals He Jin and Ren Jizhong, the generals Hao Shaoqi, Ma Chongxi, Zhou Jin, and Liu Tichun; the killed general Liu Fangliang and the Guoyi general Yuan Zongdi; the captured commander Tamihide; released Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and made Li Guo, a general.

Gao Yuanjue, who was captured by Li Zicheng, was also rescued safe and sound. Seeing that the general situation had gone, the general Tian Jian Xiu also surrendered to Fang Yuan.

After the end of the war, Fang Yuan summoned all the generals in Wuchang Mansion to reward meritorious deeds, as well as the job arrangements that everyone was most concerned about.

At the celebration banquet, after two rounds of wine, Fang Yuan ordered Jingjie to announce in public that the first important thing was to reorganize the army and surrender from the breaking army, whether it was He Jin's Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, Tian Jianxiu's personal soldiers, Liu Tichun's standard battalion, or Zhou Jin's standard battalion that surrendered, they must all be disrupted and incorporated into the Xuanjia Army system. The only one that retains a complete establishment is the Gao family army of the Xing family and Gao Yuanjue.

He Jin, who was drunk, saw that Fang Yuan was so unfair, and remembered that he had been robbed of merit by the Gao family army before, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but stand up, and rushed to Fang Yuandao, "Regent, if you want to adapt, you should adapt it all, why didn't you leave the Gao family army behind?" When our army was fighting bloodily, the Gao family army was still supporting the army and respecting itself, which, this, was unfair. ”

He pointed his spearhead at the Gao family's army, Gao Yuanyehe was dizzy, and he drew his sword in front of Fang Yuan and made his debut, "When we followed the regent from Shandong to Huguang and made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, what were you rogues doing?" The Lord Regent is merciful not to kill you damned rogues, and he dares to speak outrageously! ”

He is a rogue on the left, a rogue on the right, Song Xiance, He Jin, Hao Shaoqi and others are already glaring angrily, and even Li Yan and his wife, who were also from rogue before, are also pale. All the generals were hindered by Fang Yuan's unstated position, so they didn't dare to be too arrogant, otherwise they would have stepped forward and joined Gao Yuanhuo.

Fang Yuan slapped the military case heavily, and scolded sharply, "Gao Yuan, bold!" The generals of the Chuang Army surrendered to the Xuanjia Army, that is, the generals of the Xuanjia Army, who is the rogue? Where did the rogue come from? ”

He looked at Jing Jie and said in a deep voice, "What kind of big crime did Gao Yuan commit, and how should he be punished according to military law!" ”

Jing Jie announced, "Gao Yuan, support the army and respect himself, slander his colleagues, draw a sword in the Chinese military camp, and deserve to be beheaded in military law!" ”

When Gao Yuan heard that it was the punishment of beheading, he was so frightened that his face was like death, and he woke up all the wine, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Regent, I am guilty, but when I surrendered, the regent promised to spare me not to die, and I can't go back on my word!" ”

Fang Yuan glanced at the Xing family, Gao Yuanjue and the two, Gao Yuanjue was still young and had no knowledge, so he could only look at his mother Xing as if asking for help. Xing's face was unmoved, and he drank a glass of wine, pretending not to know, and his attitude was clear, that is, he was punished by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Yes, I'm Chrysostom, I won't kill you if I don't kill you." But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin is unforgivable, go and get a hundred rods, collect your own wealth, and go home and become a rich man! ”

He pardoned Gao Yuan's capital crime, changed it to a cane and scolded a hundred years and drove him out of the barracks, Xing already knew that Fang Yuan was worried that he couldn't find a chance to break into the hearts of the generals, and Gao Yuan hit the muzzle of the gun this time. In addition, when he attacked Tian Jianxiu before, he supported the troops without fighting, and the old accounts were counted together.

Xing got up and said, "Regent Kuanren, spare this kid!" ”

Jing Jie ordered the sergeant to enter the tent, dragged the shouting Gao Yuan down, and carried out the military law.

As soon as Fang Yuan punished Gao Yuan like this, the generals of the Chuang Army also calmed down their anger a little, and the next step was the appointment of the most critical position. It seems to be a simple appointment, but it is really related to the stability of Huguang and Henan. Xiang Yu did not fully take into account the interests of the kings, so less than half a year after the kings were divided, the kings rebelled, and the world was immediately in chaos.

This time, the generals who broke into the army and surrendered were also looking at what practical benefits Fang Yuan could share with them. What's more, if Fang Yuan wants to reorganize their army, they must make greater concessions in terms of interests. If the distribution of benefits is unfair, when Fang Yuan and the Xuanjia army do not withdraw, of course the generals will not dare to act rashly; As soon as the Xuanjia army withdrew, or when there was a big war with the northern court or even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they would rise up and make waves again.

Since all the generals were looking at it, Fang Yuan stopped selling Guan Zi, and Ling Jingjie began to announce.

Jing Jie spread out the appointment documents and said loudly, "The first governor appointment, appointing Gan Hui, the governor of Jiangxi, was transferred to the governor of Huguang, stationed in Wuchang, and took over the military and political affairs of Huguang. Li Yan, the governor of Huguang, was transferred to the governor of Henan, and the defense area was moved to Nanyang, Runing, and Ruzhou, Henan. ”

This time the defense was to transfer Li Yan and his wife, who had been stationed in Huguang for several years, out of Huguang and to go to Henan. In fact, it is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and transfer the forces of the army out of the base camp Huguang. Moreover, if Gan Hui is transferred out of the base camp of Jiangxi, there must be no mountains and small gangs in Jiangxi.

Fang Yuan saw that Gan Hui was happy, Jiangxi was poor, Huguang was rich, from Jiangxi to Huguang, it was half a level higher, Gan Hui was very supportive. And Li Yan is face was as usual, but the red lady was angry, and explained a little, "Li Gongzi, sister-in-law, Li Gongzi is good at governing the country, and Governor Gan is good at fighting on the battlefield." Liu Zongmin fled to Sichuan, if he colluded with Zhang Xianzhong, it is estimated that he will still go out of Sichuan, and the war in Huguang is estimated to have not stopped. In Henan, the people's livelihood is withering, and it is necessary for a talent like Li Gongzi to stabilize the situation in Henan. Who can carry this burden except Li Gongzi? ”

The red lady came out and said, "Regent, Henan only has two prefectures and one state, this is not fair!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, when I handed it over to your husband and wife, it was two prefectures and one state, you can expand on your own, and then the six mansions and the seventh mansion will not be captured?!" ”

Fang Yuan's words were acquiescing to the expansion of Li Yan and his wife in Henan, and how many state capitals they could take were all under the jurisdiction of Li Yan and his wife. Henan is also a large province in the Central Plains, where the center of the world is located, and Fang Yuan handed over such an important war zone to Li Yan, which can be regarded as a trust in Li Yan and his wife.

Li Yan took the initiative to get up and said, "Regent, I am willing to take on this important responsibility. ”

Since Li Yan agreed to go to be the governor of Henan, Jing Jie continued to read, "Gan Hui is the governor of Huguang, commanding 30,000 Jiangxi troops and governing Wuchang Mansion. Bai Guangen served as the commander-in-chief of the five prefectures in Huguangbei, commanded the 15,000 train battalions, and governed Xiangyang Mansion; Gao Yuanjue served as the commander-in-chief of the six prefectures in Huguangnan, commanded 30,000 Gao's army, and governed Yongzhou Mansion; Xu Cheng served as the commander-in-chief of the three divisions, commanded 30,000 Jiangxi troops, and governed the Yongshun Xuanwei Division. ”

The so-called three divisions are the three ethnic minority gathering areas, the Yongshun Propaganda Division, the Jingzhou Propaganda Division, and the Shizhou Wei.

The five mansions in the north of Huguang are rich lands, and the six southern mansions are wild places, Fang Yuan threw the Gao family army in the six southern mansions where birds don't, Xing was about to speak and stopped, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back alive.

Everyone had no objections, and Jing Jie continued to announce, "Li Yan, the governor of Henan, led 30,000 soldiers to garrison Nanyang Mansion; He Jin served as the chief soldier of Nanyang Mansion, commanding 15,000 soldiers and horses; Ren Jizhong served as the commander-in-chief of Runing Mansion, commanding 10,000 troops. ”

He Jin, Ren Jizhong, as a rogue of one party, can be regarded as the chief soldier of any government after surrendering, which can be regarded as a successful whitewash, and the two of them naturally have no objections and give up their orders.

"The general Tian Jianxiu, the Henan Governor's Mansion listens to it."

"General Guo Yi Hao Shaoqi, deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army Infantry Battalion."

"General Guoyi Zhou Jin, appointed as the commander of the Xuanjia Army Infantry Battalion."

"General Guoyi Liu Tichun, appointed as the commander of the artillery battalion of the Xuanjia Army."

"The military advisor Song Xiance, as the governor of the regent palace, will accompany him to listen to it."

Fang Yuan's arrangement, Hao Shaoqi was promoted; Zhou Jin and Liu Tichun can also be regarded as having a background; Song Xiance became the governor of the palace, and he was also reused.

These people had no objections, the only one who was dissatisfied was Tian Jianxiu, Fang Yuan did not arrange a specific position, and handed him over to Li Yan to arrange a position. But Tian Jianxiu is not satisfied, what big waves can he make? !

After arranging the positions of the generals of the breaking army, Fang Yuan took out half of the four million taels of silver captured by Li Zicheng for the army and the death pension, and the entire military camp was joyful and thunderous!
