The northern expedition of the Zhennan Army was smooth sailing, and the Huguang battlefield and the Fujian battlefield showed a one-sided trend.

The few who dared to fight would also be quickly defeated by the Zhennan Army, and the rest were those who surrendered and joined the Zhennan Army after being broken.

The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, the territory is fighting more and more, and the soldiers of the Zhennan Army are getting sharper and sharper.

On the battlefield in Zhejiang, Zheng Ying's department, which occupied Yinxian County, was also constantly expanding its power, and most of Ningbo Prefecture was defeated by these 5,000 people, and with the increase of victory and the arrival of propaganda, these 5,000 people also began to snowball.

By the end of August, when Zheng Ying had taken possession of the entire Ningbo Prefecture and divided the land among the five local landlords, the entire contingent had expanded to 11,000 people, and the Ningbo Mansion was no longer a problem, and it was time to start an offensive to the rest of Zhejiang.

Speaking of which, these big landlords are also crazy, and Zheng Ying only knew how far these people had gone after he really saw their property.

Ninety percent of the county's fertile land is under their names, less than 10 percent of the fertile land is in the hands of some small landlords and rich peasants, and the rest of the ordinary peasants have only some barren land, and many more are tenants and landless peasants.

And after further investigation, the land of these guys is not taxed, because they are not a big official family, so they have the privilege of not paying taxes, that is, they are attached to the famous scholars to avoid taxes through connections, and the agricultural taxes paid by the entire county are actually only those self-cultivated farmers who cultivate barren land.

Because of Xiao Ruxun's order, the big families who used private troops to resist and attack the Zhennan Army were all directly killed in the name of "traitor Shen has always been the same party", no matter who was behind them, it was useless.

If you dare to resist, you will be killed, and then you will raid the house, take the money and goods, divide the land equally among the tenants, and if there is too much to spare, then find the original owner of the land that can be found and return it to him.

After a few times, the big families in the entire Ningbo Mansion were honest, and they originally scolded and scolded that they were bandits, but now they don't dare to pant loudly, and their own children don't dare to let them out of the house at all.

After all, they simply don't have the strength to compete with the Zhennan Army, and the readers' articles are useless to the Zhennan Army.

Therefore, in the face of mouth artillery, it is still musket artillery that is the most effective.

Fortunately, the military discipline of the Zhennan Army is good, and it is just maintaining the original order, so that some small businessmen can still do business on the street.

The strange officials who came here instead of the original county officials to start a new governance do not seem to be as inactive as the original officials.

Unconsciously, the people's senses of this sudden "Fengtian rebellion" army have become different.

Something is creeping up.

The progress of the various units of the Zhennan Army was generally smooth, tearing the southern Xinjiang of the Ming government to the ground, and the hinterland of the southern part of the Yangtze River had been completely exposed to the peak of the Zhennan Army, and almost no army or force could pose a threat to the offensive of the Zhennan Army.

Of course, this is almost, not exactly.

On 15 August, on the battlefield in Sichuan, Liu Wei's and Mawei's subordinates, who had been progressing smoothly, encountered a little trouble.

According to the situation in Sichuan, Liu Wei and Ma Wei have always pursued the strategy of saying hello and bypassing Tusi when they encounter them, and capturing or persuading them to stay in the town when they encounter the Liuguan Governor's place.

Fortunately, there are a lot of toasts in southern Sichuan, and there are relatively few places governed by Han officials, so it basically didn't take much effort, and after taking some passes, it was smoothly advanced.

The two divided their troops and advanced, and after taking Dongchuan Mansion, they went all the way to Wumeng Mansion and Mahu Mansion, and all the way to Wusa Mansion, Zhenxiong Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion, with the goal of meeting Qianwei, attacking Jiading Prefecture, and opening up the road to Chengdu.

This persuaded that, that persuaded that to surrender to that, all the way to deceive and persuade, the battle was not fought a few times, there were more and more people, as for the food logistics or something, it was easy to solve, either open a warehouse to get grain, or directly do business with the people of Tusi to buy grain, or exchange the goods in the warehouse with them.

In this way, the road went smoothly, Liu Wei even proudly said that with his prestige, he could take Mawei all the way from Kunming to Chengdu without hindrance, maybe when he arrived in Chengdu, the governor of Sichuan had already run, and Chengdu could be won directly.

As a result, he never thought that as soon as he finished speaking, he would be directly slapped in the face by lightning over there.

He's in trouble.

On August 15, Liu Wei and Ma Wei led their troops to meet at Muchuan Division, and after resting for a day, they reorganized the army that had expanded to nearly 40,000 horses, and gathered to set off to the north.

As a result, not long after leaving, the news of the sentry came from the front.

Half a day ago, the vanguard led by General Xiao under Liu Wei suffered a defeat ten miles south of Qianwei, killed dozens of people, and then retreated, and now is gathering the defeated troops Xu Tu to fight again, but may need support, because the other side has a lot of people, there are thousands of people.

Liu Wei was directly stunned.

Still resisting?

"Who is so daring? How dare you resist? Aren't you afraid that I'll just wave my troops and kill them?! ”

In addition to this matter in front of Ma Wei, it is still quite embarrassing for Liu Wei, his reputation Liu Dadao is resounding in most of the Ming Dynasty, and even more so in front of Ma Wei, as a result, he was slapped in the face as soon as he bragged, no wonder he was very angry.

"It's the white pole soldier of the stone pillar!"

As soon as he heard the name, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment.

"The white pole soldier of the stone pillar? This is a bit of a distance, that is, Chengdu has already prepared and is deploying troops? It's a bit tricky. ”

"White pole soldiers?"

Ma Wei asked curiously.

He was a little interested in this army that could thwart Liu Ling's vanguard army.

Liu Wei said a little jealously: "Yes, the white pole soldier is an elite soldier under the command of Ma Qiancheng, the envoy of Zhongzhou Shizhu Xuanfu, this team of people and horses is still quite famous in Sichuan, they can fight tough battles, the training is good, and the equipment is good, the most peculiar thing is that it is a woman who trains this team." ”

"Woman?!"

Ma Wei's eyes widened: "Are all the women in Sichuan so fierce?" Can you still be an officer? Is it an alien? ”

Liu Wei shook his head.

"No, it's also Han, but it's just this woman, and the rest is not, but there are many Tusi in Sichuan, and some tribes do have women to fight, and I don't know if it's affected, this woman's surname is Qin, and she is Ma Qiancheng's wife, and she helped Ma Qiancheng train white pole soldiers together."

Ma Wei suddenly became interested.

"A female general? I really haven't heard that women can train the army, and neither can the general's wife? How did she do it? ”

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know much, I have seen the white pole soldiers a few times, I heard that this woman has been practicing martial arts since childhood, familiar with military books, very talented, after marrying Ma Qiancheng, persuaded Ma Qiancheng to train together an army suitable for fighting in the mountainous land of Sichuan.

It can be seen that the team of men and horses is indeed well-trained, and the Zhennan army has a comparison, the white pole gun held by the soldier is made of strong white wood to make a long pole, with a hook with a blade, and a hard iron ring below, when fighting, the hook can be cut and pulled, and the ring can be used as a hammer weapon, if there is a strong army in Sichuan, one is the soldier under my command, and the other is this white pole soldier. ”
