Everyone clapped their hands and celebrated, Shi Jinchen, Zhao Sixuan and others even thought that the Great Western Army was not enough to trouble, and suggested that Yang Lin should drive straight into Tongchuan Prefecture and attack CD Mansion with all his might.

And Yang Lin shook his head again and again after some emotion, how could the murderous demon Zhang Xianzhong and his Great Western Army be so weak?

In addition, why did the Great Western Army in the direction of Boryeong have no reaction? Although the battle of Hanzhong was frustrated, Zhang Dingguo's sixteenth battalion of soldiers and horses, Zhang Wenxiu's fifteenth battalion of soldiers and horses can be stationed in the direction of Baoning, plus Liu Jinzhong's cavalry battalion, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong.

Yang Lin couldn't understand this situation, and in order to deal with possible changes, he sent scouts to Boryeong Prefecture and Tongchuan Prefecture to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he sent officials to the newly occupied prefectures and counties.

After the recovery of Guang'an Prefecture, Yang Lin took Shi Jinchen, Zhao Sixuan, Yin Chengqi and others as his colleagues.

Li Shikai, the former Tongzhi of Pengzhou, is the governor of Guang'an Prefecture, Qin Mintang of Yilong Zhixian County is the governor of Pengzhou, and the governor of Dazhou is still served by Xu Kongtu.

Zou Jianchen, Ma Hongyuan, Wang Guangxian, Liu Xianfa, Tang Jietai, Wang Rimeng and others are the local magistrates.

The new policy was implemented on a large scale in the areas under its jurisdiction, the township offices were established, the resettlement of displaced people in tuntian, the land was cleared, the household registration was cleared, and the new policy of ID card control was implemented.

It turned out that when the Volunteers captured Shunqing Mansion, Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan of the Great Western Army, and Wang Fuchen, the left governor of the Navy Army, led their troops to leave Guangyuan and go to Chongqing to reinforce Liu Tingju's troops, and the troops just arrived in Suining County, Tongchuan Prefecture.

It turned out that since the Battle of Hanzhong, good luck seemed to have left the Great Western Army overnight.

First of all, the news came that Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces appointed by the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, led the Yungui soldiers and horses to exterminate the bandits in Sichuan.

Because Wang Yingxiong and Fan Yixuan were both people from central Sichuan, they had a lot of old ones, and under their influence, the local squires rebelled one after another, and the whole Sichuan showed signs of chaos.

In addition to the Yungui army in southern Sichuan, in eastern Sichuan, the Ming general Zeng Yingzheng gathered the remnants of the former Ming army and made a comeback, and together with Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan who led the soldiers and horses of Guizhou, he would attack Chongqing.

In western Sichuan, the general Cao Xun and Liu Daozhen led the remnants with Ya'an as the center, ready to merge into Jiading Prefecture at any time, approaching the CD Plain.

In the Maozhou area of northwest Sichuan, Zhu Hualong, the deputy general of the Song Domain, and Long'an Mansion led their troops and horses together with Zhi Zhan Tianran.

In addition to these officials and soldiers, because Zhang Xianzhong listened to the advice of Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of Zuo, in order to prevent the powerful and scholars from all over the country from rebelling against the rule of Onishi, the Onishi regime forcibly recruited the powerful in Sichuan, and all the scholars and scholars moved to the city of CD for local supervision within a time limit.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and these powerful people launched another uprising of the local people against the Onishi regime, the more famous of which include:

Boryeong Province Li Chongyan, Wu Yuying

Wang Qi'e and Dou Kejin of Anyue County

Yang Wenhuan of Leshan County

Luo Zhang and Yao Sixiao of Suining County

Tongjiang, Bazhou's Ran Lan, Xiang Qian, Xiang Qian

Jia Zhongdou and Liu Shikai of Renshou County

Yao Yulin, Jintang County

Shengshiquan of Yongchuan Prefecture

The god of Xihua in Jiangjin County

…….

By mid-February, the whole of Sichuan was in turmoil, and in order to quell the rebellion in various places, the central government of Onishi was hotly debated.

The right prime minister Yan Ximing, Shangshu Gong Wanjing, Jiang Dingzhen and other Sichuan civil officials, the former Ming officials believed that it was due to the benevolence and righteousness, and the bureaucrats below did bad things with good intentions, as long as the Onishi regime showed goodwill to the people, it could regain the trust of the Sichuan people by recruiting peace.

However, Wang Zhaolin, the prime minister of the left, did not think so, and now the Ming army was pressing the border, outflanking from the three directions of southern Sichuan, eastern Sichuan, and northern Sichuan, and the fate of the Daxi regime hung by a thread.

Benevolent? What kind of benevolent government can be implemented now, the emperor is benevolent, and the Sichuan people will be exempted from paying taxes for three years at the beginning of Shu, is there a better benevolent government in the world?

The emperor restrained his subordinates very strictly, and at the beginning of Shu, it was strictly forbidden for the Great Western Army to rob the people like the former Ming army, and it can be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes, which is not the emperor's benevolence and righteousness.

The Shu people are afraid of power but not morality, when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan Shu people were also quite opposed, but under the iron fist rule of Zhuge Liang, the Shu people actually missed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for a few years, and the Wuhou Temple of CD was continuous incense for many years, and it has never been broken after thousands of years.

Wang Zhaolin suggested ruthlessly suppressing those who dared to resist, just like the purge in the previous life, first of all, it is necessary to purge the officials who rode the wall in the Qin and Twilight Chu dynasties, and ensure the purity of the core of the leadership.

Then all those scholars were gathered together to take care of them, and the Ming Dynasty was abolished on these scholars, who praised and criticized the disadvantages of the times, caused social turmoil, and gathered everyone together in the name of the imperial examination, and never put them back.

Zhang Xianzhong apparently accepted Wang Zhaolin's advice, and sent heavy troops from all walks of life to extinguish the rebels from all walks of life.

In order to prevent the Yunnan-Guizhou army from entering southern Sichuan, Zhang Kewang, the general of Zhengdong, Zhang Hualong, the governor of the right army, and Wang Ziyu, the right governor of the navy, led their troops to attack southern Sichuan and resist the main force of the Ming army from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

Zhang Nengqi, the general of Dingbei, and Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, led their troops to attack Ya'an to block Cao Xun and Liu Daozhen in western Sichuan.

He ordered the governor to run the troops at Baishui Pass, and also guarded against the troops of Zhu Hualong, the guard of the Song Domain, and the troops of Zhan Tianyan, the Tongzhi of Long'an Mansion.

In order to aid Liu Tingju's troops in Chongqing, he ordered Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan, and Wang Fuchen, the governor of the left capital of the navy, to lead their troops down the Fujiang River to support the capital of Chongqing.

Before entering Sichuan, the Great Western Army had more than 200,000 troops, excluding some coerced people or dependents in the army, and there were only 100,000 people who could really recruit good fighters.

Although 100,000 soldiers from Sichuan were incorporated into Sichuan this time, now they see that the wolf smoke is everywhere in Sichuan, and the army has already lost their morale and refuses to fight to the death.

Although the morale of the army is unstable, the army of the Great West is strong and strong, the four generals and the five governors are all able to recruit and fight well, and the soldiers under their command are even more battle-hardened soldiers.

Zhang Wenxiu was temporarily stationed in Suining County for several days, and after hearing the news that Ma Yuanli, the governor of Zuodu, had killed the volunteers in battle and captured the city of Shunqing, Zhang Xianzhong was quite annoyed.

Chongqing is an important town in the east of Sichuan, and it is also the second only city in Sichuan to CD, and its strategic position is very important.

As for the Shunqing Volunteers, the Anxi general Zhang Dingguo and the former military governor Bai Wenxuan led the troops to be exterminated.

In early March, Zhang Wenxiu led his troops to the Hezhou front, and news came from the direction of Chongqing that the Ming army's horse cadres and Zeng Ying's troops had already captured Fuling, and their vanguard was advancing into Chongqing.

Since the second year of Hongguang in February (1645 AD), Ma Gan and General Zeng Ying led the remnants of the Sichuan army and the Guizhou reinforcements to form a coalition army, first captured the Qianjiang River, Fuling, the army was in full swing, and the army once entered the city of Chongqing.

Seeing that Liu Tingju's troops could not resist, Chongqing City was about to fall day and night, and Zhang Guangcai, the governor of the Great Western Army, led the rout army to kill, and attacked back and forth, so as to slightly defeat the Ming army besieging the city and stabilize the situation in eastern Sichuan.

After collecting the troops and returning to the camp, Zeng Ying's anger in his heart can be imagined, and he sent scouts out to inquire, and actually heard that the volunteers attacked the city in northern Sichuan in just half a year, not only killed Ma Yuanli, the left governor of the Great Western Army, but also recovered more than ten counties in Shunqing Mansion and Dazhou.

Zhang Guangcai, the governor of the Great Western Army, was forced by the volunteers to withdraw from Guang'an Prefecture, and fled to Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan, when he had no way out, so as to stabilize the situation.

Now I hear that the Volunteer Army has risen in northern Sichuan, just as Liu Liangchang, who participated in politics, said, if the two armies are flanked, such a large western army will definitely be defeated.

After receiving this information, Zeng Ying sent an envoy to Zunyi to meet with Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, to explain the situation.

Wang Ying, the governor of the four provinces, was a person from Kumamba County (Fucheng, Chongqing), a Xiucai during the Wanli period, a scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and colluded with the first assistant Zhou Yanru to control the government.

Zhang Xianzhong has been invincible since entering Sichuan, in order to quell the Sichuan rebellion, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong thought that Wang Yingxiong was a native of Sichuan, a former cabinet scholar, and specially appointed him as the governor of Huguangchuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

After Wang Yingxiong received the king's order, he went to Zunyi (the Ming Dynasty Zunyi Prefecture belonged to Sichuan Province) to open the shogunate, and mobilized the Yungui army to suppress Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, which lasted for several months, and the progress of the soldiers and horses was quite limited.

Now that he suddenly received Zeng Ying's letter, he couldn't believe it at all, and sneered with the letter: "This, how is this possible?"

Zeng Yingnai is a famous general in Sichuan, this time he gathered so many people and horses and didn't recover Chongqing, even if he didn't recover Chongqing, he actually arranged a Yang Lin, this, how is this possible? ”

Joining the army next to him, Fan Wenguang, a member of the household department, heard this, and said while looking for the official document: "My lord, ten days ago, the governor's yamen received such a letter, and we also reported to the governor about the Shunqing Mansion.

At that time, the adults thought that it was a lie made up by that madman, and wanted to take advantage of our blocking road from northern Sichuan to claim official positions, and they didn't pay attention to them at all."

Wang Yingxiong patted his head and laughed at himself: "Oh, the old man thinks about it, there is such a thing. You see, it's probably busy and confused.

At that time, the old man had stayed up too late these days, and it was difficult to forget such an important thing.

That Wenzha is quite strange, not only stamped with the official seal of Shunqing Mansion, but also the names of the former Shunqing prefect Shi Jinchen, Shunqing Tongzhi Zhao Sixuan and Sichuan Xie Yuan Zou Jianchen.

Could it be that the old man is really wrong? There is such a heroic man in northern Sichuan, who not only drove the local rioters away from Pengzhou and Dazhou, but also recovered Shunqing Mansion?"

Qian Bangxin, the imperial historian next to him, thought for a while and said: "My lord, Zeng Ying repeatedly mentioned this Yang Lin in his letters, and he was born in the deputy list, and finally put pen to paper, and was promoted to the general manager of Qianqian because of his military exploits, and acted as the governor of Longzhi County. ”

Wang Yingxiong picked up the letter and looked at it again, then took the official document from Fan Wenguang's hand and looked at it, and sighed for a long time: "This, although this is incredible, it is not impossible."

If the Volunteer Army really recovers most of Shunqing Mansion and Dazhou now, if it can go down the river, it will not be difficult for the Great Western Army in the direction of Chongqing to be pacified.

If we capture Chongqing, so that eastern Sichuan and northern Sichuan are united, plus the Yunnan-Guizhou army in southern Sichuan, such a general trend can be achieved. ”

When everyone heard this, they stood up and congratulated.

Wang Yingxiong shook his head and said: "Although this Yang Lin is good at leading troops to fight, he is still a thorn.

Let's think about it, after recovering Shunqing Mansion, he actually appointed himself as the prefect of Shunqing, and put the former prefect Shi Jinchen and fellow governor Zhao Sixuan aside.

The old man expected that this Yang Lin must be a fierce horse, and it was not easy to submit. ”

When everyone in the tent heard this, they all begged to go to Shunqing Mansion to serve their orders, after all, everyone stayed in the shogunate all day and night to be restrained, and it was far from being comfortable in the place.

Wang Yingxiong stood up, took a few steps back and forth, stopped, looked at Fan Wenguang and Qian Bangxin beside him and stopped, and said: "Two gentlemen, although this governor has done his best since he was appointed, the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou are too remote, and the people are living in poverty, so they are so crowded now.

The two of them can go to northern Sichuan, if what Yang Lin said is true, Qian Bangqi will serve as the supervisor of the army as the imperial historian, and Fan Wenguang will serve as the same knowledge as a member of the household department, assisting him in leading the war and governing the place. ”

When the two of them heard this, they said yes, but they had doubts and asked, "My lord, then what official position will the imperial court give to this Yang Lin?" ”

Wang Yingxiong thought for a while and said, "Didn't he ask himself to be the prefect of Shunqing and the post of general?" Since this is the case, the old man appointed him as the prefect of Shunqing Prefecture and the post of general in the capacity of the minister. ”

Fan Wenguang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "My lord, this is probably not appropriate, right?" Staff generals generally command only 3,000 troops, this Yang Lin claims to have nine battalions of elite soldiers under his command, and his troops have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if he is only appointed as a staff general, isn't it a bit of a bit?"

Wang Yingxiong shook his head and said: "The country's famous weapon, how can it be easy to be with others, one of you is the imperial history of the imperial court, and the other is a member of the household department, don't be deceived by others."

If you go in makeup, if it is really as the official document says, the decree is, if not, don't declare the decree. ”

The two looked at each other and said yes.
