Early the next morning, Yang Lin was preparing to rush to the ordnance station, and reported that the Dashun army in Shunqing City had left the city from the north gate last night, and its specific movements were unknown.

When everyone heard this, they were even more frightened, and some bluntly said that Luo Dai would lead the army to retaliate, Yang Lin had to order the city gate to be closed to strengthen the vigilance, and on the other hand, he sent multiple scouts out of the city to inquire about the news.

It turned out that the Dashun army was defeated in Mianzhou, and Li Zicheng appointed the Dashun Sichuan Jiedu to make Li Yutian and the general soldier Ma Ke lead the troops to withdraw to Baoning Mansion.

It turned out that after the news of Zhang Nengqi's defeat by Ma Ke reached the CD, the whole Sichuan was shaken, and some bureaucrats who originally planned to surrender to the Onishi regime were on the sidelines, and in addition to being shocked, Zhang Xianzhong left his son Zhang Kewang and strategist Wang Zhaolin to guard the rear, and personally led the army to kill Mianzhou along the Golden Bull Road.

The two armies met in Mianzhou, although Ma Ke had 3,000 Mongolian soldiers under his command who were good at cavalry and archery, but the morale of the various units of the Great Western Army that had just occupied the CD was stronger, and many of Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons were brave enough to kill the enemy, so they defeated the Liaodong soldiers and horses under the command of Ma Ke and occupied Mianzhou.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong soldiers and horses were called the world's first strong army, whether it was Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong all developed from Liaodong soldiers and horses, Zhang Xianzhong was happy to change Mianzhou to Shengzhou and then waved the army north to occupy northern Sichuan.

After the news of the Mianzhou fiasco spread, the rule of the Dashun army in northern Sichuan collapsed, and the Dashun army retreated all the way to Baoningfu, to Guangyuan, and to Hanzhong, which appeared a few days ago The reason why the Shunqing guard of the Dashun army led his troops to evacuate.

In a panic, everyone found that now there was a ruling vacuum in northern Sichuan again, and after the sudden withdrawal of the Dashun army, the city of Baoning Mansion Langzhong and the south of Shunqing Mansion were almost undefended cities.

Everyone advised them to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to wave their troops into the city and occupy the undefended cities of Boryeong and Shunqing, so as to increase their influence and expand their territory.

Yang Lin complained bitterly, and when he heard the great martial arts of the Great Western Army, local gossip emerged endlessly, and what was even worse was that some of the affected by the new policy secretly made a small calculation to welcome the Great Western Army and Zhang Xianzhong.

Don't be surprised, history is like this, although after the occupation of Qingqing, cut off the arms of some recalcitrant soldiers, and after the occupation of CD, they slaughtered the relatives of the king of Shu, but at the beginning of entering Sichuan, the Great Western Army did not kill the Sichuan people on a large scale, and on the contrary, it showed the style of the new dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen has already hanged the coal mountain, the capital of the Ming Dynasty Beijing was also occupied by Li Zicheng and others, now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, after the occupation of the CD by the Great Western Army, there are scholars everywhere who are unwilling to surrender and martyrdom, but the Ming officials born in Jinshi, such as Yan Ximing, Jiang Dingzhen, Wang Guoning, Gong Wanjing, Wu Jishan and others have successively returned to Zhang Xianzhong, and were entrusted with important tasks.

Some people commented that there were parliaments in the West, but the ancient Chinese scholars were the leaders of local public opinion, and each one was equivalent to an informal councillor supervising the government as representatives of the local gentry. The surrender of Ming officials and local scholars such as Yan Ximing and Jiang Dingzhen to the Daxi regime had a great impact.

Secondly, just like Li Zicheng declared, "King Chuang came and did not pay for food", and the silver and silver that had been plundered for more than ten years in the world were countless, and there was also a certain amount of grain in the Ming Dynasty's official palace, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan with the slogan of "purging the four Chuan", but he wanted to use the four Chuans as the basis for the founding of the country to compete with the Dashun regime and the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people suffered from the three salaries of the imperial court and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the government.

Again, unlike the social legend of Zhang Xianzhong, who hated Sichuan since he was a child, this time he entered Sichuan to slaughter Sichuan, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong led their troops into Sichuan many times in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes they went deep into the hinterland of Sichuan to establish a kingdom in Sichuan. There is no doubt that there are a large number of former stragglers in Sichuan, and now seeing Zhang Xianzhong controlling most of Sichuan, he is also secretly ready to move, trying to raise an incident to meet the Daxi regime.

Now the internal people are panicking, and the Great Western Army is in the limelight, plus they have few soldiers, how can they compete with this?

However, this kind of remark could not be said explicitly, only for the sake of prudence, sending many scouts to inquire about the news and verify it in many ways, and during this period, the situation outside was turned upside down, and the Great Western Army conquered the city and conquered the city, and in just a few days it occupied the nearby prefectures and counties one after another, and its military might was jaw-dropping.

Zhang Xianzhong defeated the Dashun army Ma Ke in Mianzhou on the fifth day of October, and captured Guangyuan on October 20.

Zhang Dingguo, the general of Anxi of the Dashun Army, seized the county seat of Tongchuan Prefecture (today's Santai County) on the third day of October, and Liu Jinzhong, the governor of the prefecture, forcibly occupied the county seat of Langzhong, the seat of Baoning Prefecture, on October 15.

Ma Yuanli, the governor of the left army of the Great Shun Army, captured Guang'an Prefecture on the third day of October, and captured Shunqing Mansion on the eighth day of October;

………

Now the people are panicking, and what is even worse is that the local rioters have regrouped, and now they are ready to make a comeback to invade Pengzhou.

The local tyrants were mainly local scoundrels and Shaanxi people who had been displaced to northern Sichuan, as well as the remnants of the rogue bandits.

In the last years of Chongzhen, when the world was in turmoil, the imperial court was overstretched with troops, and it was even more to capture the prefectures and counties, and the local area was almost divided.

Since the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, although the governor of the four Chuan has repeatedly attacked the yamen, and occasionally has been killed, but at that time, the world officials were bad, and the officials and soldiers were seriously underpaid, so they could not be exhausted, and now the Ming Dynasty rose again when it collapsed and became a harm to one party.

Different from Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues, the local tyrants are, after all, a bandit armed force that combines local tyrants, scoundrels and rogues, who initially plundered the surrounding large households and past merchants, and then gathered more and more people in the nearby villages and had no money and food to loot, so they desperately captured the prefectures and counties.

The Ming Dynasty adhered to the strategy of building high walls and accumulating grain to slowly become kings, and there were tall cities built in various places to attack, how easy is it to attack?

The local thugs did not stop doing anything, and called for the sharing of money, coercing tens of thousands of nearby villagers, and everyone went to the edge of the city to capture the prefecture and county.

Therefore, when the local rioters want to start any large-scale military operations, they often coerce the villagers from all over the country to come out of the nest during the slack time (the villagers are busy with farming and have to go home to farm), and the chickens and dogs are restless everywhere they pass.

Last year, the local rioters were defeated by the official army and suffered heavy losses, and now the local rioters have regrouped and are ready to make a comeback to avenge the brothers who died in the war last year.

Within one day on 22 October, Yang Wei, deputy general of the 2nd Division stationed in Yingshan, and Liao Qifang, deputy general of the 4th Division stationed in Yilong, reported that the local rioters were assembling and might enter Pengzhou at any time.

Half a month ago, just after the beginning of winter, in order to deal with external threats, all townships and towns are recruiting strong men to train groups.

According to the plan, with the bazaar as a unit, the large bazaar trains 200 strong men and the small ones more than 100 people, so that there are more than 3,000 strong men in the three counties of Pengzhou alone to achieve self-protection.

But the local tyrants did not give Yang Lin time, and as soon as the autumn ploughing was completed, they assembled to prepare for the invasion.

Now that the strong enemy is looking around on all sides, the Guangda Western Army may attack from Guang'an, Shunqingfu Chengnanchong, and Baoningfu Chenglangzhong, and the local tyrants also have two directions, Bazhou and Dazhou, so it can be said that they are attacked on all sides, and if they are fortified everywhere, they will inevitably be unable to defend themselves.
