"Sons, rush me!! Only by boasting about this group of Ming troops can the general escape, and the relatives in our army can survive!! Someone in the army shouted.

This person is telling the truth, the small team of cavalry that broke into the army, all the people who were selected were dragging their families with their mouths, and their families were full of food and clothing on weekdays, although the treatment was good, but the battlefield was desperate, if someone became a deserter, the family members would also be executed by the army, so this cavalry, no matter how dangerous the situation was, had never been defeated and retreated.

However, what they are facing today is a veteran of Yang Quan's Tuntian Division! These people are the elite of the old battles with Yang Quan, and when they encounter this kind of situation where the cavalry is rushing head-on, those musketeers are nervous, and some of them even whisper to the recruits behind them to explain the main points, while speaking, the muskets in their hands have been loaded with ammunition.

Looking at the cavalry who were beaten, they rushed towards them in a circle, Yang Quan raised his right hand lightly, and the grassroots officers behind him had already shouted one after another, "Blossom, prepare!" ”

This kind of large firearm is a good thing in the treasury of Shunde Mansion, although it is an early thing in Wanli, but the quality is not good, and it can still be used now, so Yang Quan pulled this thing out and used it to supplement the lack of firepower.

This kind of flowering gun, about two meters three or four long, about ten centimeters thick, filled with gunpowder iron sand, is infinitely powerful in close combat, Yang Quan at this time, is to use the ferocious firepower of this fire gun melee to block the high-speed cavalry.

Yang Quan watched the other party get closer and closer to him, and waved his arm violently, "Release!" ”

"Bang Bang" similar to the flowering guns of small artillery, making a deafening roar, emitting a thick white smoke, the army that was running with all their might, was instantly shot down to the ground, this area fundamentally, let the cavalry be in an unfavorable ground, both sides are muddy farmland, only one of the official roads, can let the cavalry gallop, so that Yang Quan only needs to let his subordinates set up firearms, aimed at the road, no matter how many cavalry the other party rushes over, can only come along the road, batch by batch to die.

"Kill" In the army, there were still people shouting like this, Yang Quan raised his eyes and looked, only to see that in the curling gunsmoke, a limping war horse, carrying a bloodied cavalryman, waving the long knife in his hand, rushed towards Yang Quan and them,

This time, without Yang Quan's command, his soldiers had already turned on the bolt, and after a burst of gunfire, the last war horse also fell in a pool of blood.

Yang Quan won a complete victory in this battle, but although he won, it caused the jealousy of the imperial court, and the generals did not have the order of the military department, but led the army without authorization, which was a big taboo.

However, the order of the imperial court to punish Yang Quan has not yet come down, Shanxi has been conquered by the army, the world began to fall into chaos, Henan Li Zicheng is even more to attack the city and seize the village, under the guidance of some people intentionally or unintentionally, break through Luoyang Kaifeng, capture King Fu, and be made Fu Lu soup by King Chuang. The county lord who is far away in Beijing is sad.

Yang Quan took advantage of the chaos, taking the opportunity to suppress the riots, entered Shanxi, at this time the army has broken through many cities, the whole Shanxi has been in chaos, Yang Quan mobilized military horses from the north, and gathered a large number of routs, from south to north, due to the plague in Shanxi, the army lost troops and was helpless, and could only enter Shaanxi, Yang Quan immediately sent people in, and successfully gained a foothold,

Yang Quan, who occupied the northwestern part of Shanxi, did not continue to occupy the cities abandoned by the intruding army, but immediately divided the borderless land in his hands into the chaotic people, and widely planted new crops such as corn and sweet potatoes. Then, Yang Quan began to improve the city's water supply and drainage system and roads, established a large number of bathhouses, and carried out a campaign to eliminate the four pests.

The self-sufficient northern part of Jinxi attracted a large number of refugees to enter, and what Yang Quan promised was only to give the refugees a full meal, and when they conquered the new area, they began to divide the land again.

Yang Quan also issued a conscription order at this time, levying the source of soldiers of appropriate age, and since then the army that completely belongs to Yang Quan has gradually been established, and at this time the imperial court is more and more suspicious of Yang Quan, according to Chongzhen's thoughts, Yang Quan is afraid that he will be dismissed from office, but it depends on the intercession of Xu Xuan's hometown Wang Chengen, Chongzhen remembered Yang Quan's merits, transferred him to Shaanxi, and let him serve under Hong Chengchou, but gave Hong Chengchou a secret decree to gradually deprive Yang Quan of his power.

However, as the army began to wreak havoc in various places, Chongzhen enabled Hong Chengchou to eliminate the army in the pass, Hong Chengchou transferred a large number of Shaanxi soldiers and horses, including most of the army under Yang Quan, but Yang Quan was stationed in Yulin before leaving, when the court thought that Yang Quan had been pulled out of the minions, Yang Quan had already 4 secretly mobilized private soldiers in Shanxi, and then carried out Tuntian in the Yulin area. Relying on Yang Quan's agricultural knowledge and extensive cultivation of corn and sweet potatoes brought from the future, just one year, Shaanxi has hoarded a lot of food, and at the same time began to brew more grain into wine, feed livestock, and through Qi Zimo's position in the White Lotus Sect, walk out of Shaanxi has the news of food, a large number of refugees from neighboring provinces who heard the news began to slowly pour into Shaanxi, Yang Quan at the relevant intersections, began to prepare a large amount of food, to prevent the victims from starving, but even if Yang Quan thought about how thorough, There are still many people dying on the road.

At this time, Li Chuang had begun to wander in the interior of the Central Plains, causing most of the farmland to be barren, and the grain produced in the people's homes was confiscated, and he was forced to join the peasant army, and Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others set up political target slogans for Li Chuang, making the peasant army bigger and bigger, and the Ming army had to frequently transfer the elite border army away because of the Qing army in the north, and began to lose gradually on the battlefield, but because of Hong Chengchou's proper command, the Ming army slowly squeezed the peasant army.

The Qing army in the north through the remnants of the Jin merchants in Shanxi, knew the domestic form, began to attack the Ming Dynasty continuously, the Ming court was forced to transfer the domestic Hong Chengchou away, the original good situation collapsed, Li Zicheng re-pulled the team, the surrendered peasant army surrendered and rebelled, and the country fell into chaos again.

At this time, Yang Quan could no longer take care of the domestic situation, and at this time, the construction of large-scale water conservancy facilities in Shaanxi began, and the province began to rectify the rule of officials, and the existing weapons and equipment of the Ming army began to integrate and develop. Strict training has been started for the newly added troops, and the trained troops have been set up as training teams and dispersed among the ranks of new recruits, so that the old army can quickly restore its combat effectiveness.

However, at this time, Yang Quan did not give up the neighboring provinces, and began to arrange for many troops to enter Sichuan, Gansu and other places in a scattered manner, and began to plan an attack on the nomadic areas in the west, in order to obtain a large number of horse breeding land. It is also worth mentioning that Zhang Xianzhong, who originally entered Sichuan, was inadvertently killed by Yang Quan's army.

However, although Zhang Xianzhong died, the inertia of history was as strong as ever, with Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Qing court, the imperial court began to be precarious, the peasant army as in history, re-besieged the Beijing division, the elite forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty, but basically lost its combat effectiveness because of the plague, and the peasant army easily attacked the city of Beijing under the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty officials. After Emperor Chongzhen killed the queen and others, he also wanted to kill the princess, but fortunately, Zhu Xiuqing took Princess Changping out early in the morning, but at this time there was chaos in the city, even if Zhu Xiuqing had been arranged in the capital for many years, it was difficult to escape, just at this time, Yang Quan sent a team to find Zhu Xiuqing and Zhu Cihong, and after finding Zhu Cihong, he found Zhu Xiuqing and escaped from Beijing with them, but at this time Li Zicheng already knew that someone had fled, and sent troops to block it one after another, Yang Quan's army was killed and wounded, and he met Yang Quan, who led the army on the way, and then it was safe.

However, at this time, in the city of Beijing, the imperial palace was also breached, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, and only Wang Chengen accompanied him.

Li Zicheng successfully entered Beijing, most of the civil officials of the Ming court changed their ways and took refuge in Li Zicheng's disciples, and Yang Quan took the officials who escaped from Beijing into his command.

Li Zicheng ascended the throne and became emperor, except for sending troops to attack Yang Quan, who was stationed in Shanxi, he did nothing to the Ming army that was preparing to surrender at Shanhaiguan, and also cut off the food and salary of Shanhaiguan.

At this point, the Ming army of Shanhaiguan merged with the Qing army and invaded the pass.

The many peasant troops who were drunk and dreaming of death in the capital and were arrogant and lascivious came back to their senses and led the team to intercept the Qing army. However, how could the peasant army under the defeat of the military aircraft be the opponent of the Qing army? Just a face, the peasant army retreated in disarray, and then the capital was also broken by the Qing army.

The army fled in embarrassment, originally wanted to go west, back to Shanxi, but Yang Quan's newly formed Shaanxi army blocked the way, but fortunately, Yang Quan did not rush to kill, let the peasant army flee to the south, and when the army fled into Henan like a lost dog, Yang Quan sent a road of soldiers and horses to intercept the Qing army, but this team under Yang Quan's advice, looking at the original escape in front, now because of the change in the direction of the team, and fell into the back Li Zicheng and other leaders of the army, after being besieged by the Qing army, this launched an attack, under the bombardment of firearms at all ranges of the Ming army, The Qing army merged and the invading army in the encirclement was collectively annihilated.

Hearing this news, Yang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he pushed Zhu Cihong out of his hand and ascended the throne as the emperor, Zhu Cihong canonized Yang Quan as the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan, and controlled the soldiers and horses of the northern provinces.

However, the Ming court in the south was not angry with Zhu Cihong, and the officials sent by Nanjing also expressed doubts about Zhu Cihong's identity.

Yang Quan's hidden power was only exposed at this time, in just a few years, from the west of Shanxi, south to Sichuan, has been basically controlled by Yang Quan, and has been known for being able to fight the Shaanxi army, under Yang Quan's training, played a terrifying combat power, the Qing army, which was originally proud of its might, when attacking Shanxi, it was like hitting the copper wall, a Manchurian Qing force, have broken halberds and sunk into the sand, in desperation, the Qing army had to take a defensive position in Shanxi, and sent troops to the south to attack.

The southern Ming army was attacked by the Manchurians, and the army was immediately defeated, and Henan and Shandong were lost one after another, but the peasant army that was supplied by the Ming Dynasty and Yang Quan fought impressively.

However, as the Qing army deepened, there were more and more troops, but due to the long journey, the logistics of the Qing army could not keep up, and the north was deserted due to the war, and there was nowhere to replenish. As a result, the Qing army was overly dependent on logistics.

At this time, Yang Quan, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly intervened in the battle, and the Qing army, which was originally pressed by the peasant army, was now killed by the Shaanxi army and abandoned its armor, and the Shaanxi army was ruthless, and the army passed everywhere, and the Qing army did not leave any behind.

Yang Quan even sent a team to attack the logistics of the Qing army, burning countless grains and grass.

As the army advances, the speed of the Shaanxi army gradually slows down, which is also helpless, the modern army, for the consumption of grain, grass and ammunition, is an astronomical figure, the Qing army is short of grain and grass, and the Shaanxi army can not be supplied, just take advantage of this opportunity, the Shaanxi army stopped to rest and recuperate, consuming the remaining grain and grass of the Qing army.

With the help of the peasant army and the Nanming army, more than 40,000 Qing troops besieged were annihilated by the Shaanxi army, but Yang Quan was still angry because there were more than 10,000 elite Qing troops besieged from the Nanming district.

said that there was no conspiracy in these, Yang Quan absolutely did not believe it.

However, at the current juncture, Yang Quan suppressed this matter and began to occupy the areas occupied by the Qing army on a large scale. At this time, Yang Quan was the general with the largest number of troops in the country and the most extensive area.

However, these areas were not seized by the south, because in their view, in places such as Henan, the continuous wars and plagues caused the land to be barren and sparsely populated, which was a burden to the south.

But what Yang Quan needs is land, a large number of refugees, from Shaanxi, back to the former land, the army and the peasant army of the old, weak, sick and disabled are also disarmed and returned to the field, according to the Shaanxi model, crazy development, in just one year, these areas have recovered a trace of vitality, the people have food and clothing guaranteed.

Although there was a temporary truce, the Shaanxi army's battle against the Qing army did not stop, compressing the Qing army to the vicinity of the capital.

The Qing army was not willing to lose, on the one hand, it aimed at the Shaanxi army, and the army was reorganized and equipped with new weapons. On the one hand, the Eight Mongolian Banners were mobilized to attack Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Gansu from the long border of Mobei, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.

Yang Quan mobilized cavalry and cooperated with the minority armies to counteract the Mongolian tribes, but the massacre order was more ferocious than that of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and all men who were taller than the wheels were executed, which curbed the massacre of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

At the same time, Yang Quan's Shaanxi army began to mobilize on a large scale to attack the Beijing division, and when the surrounding city bunkers were captured, the Qing army felt that it was difficult to resist, and then escaped from the Beijing division and retreated to the pass.

Zhu Cihong also returned to Beijing, Yang Quan led the troops into the northeast, and the Qing army launched a fierce battle, the Qing army with the weapons and training methods of the Shaanxi army, the combat effectiveness increased, and the Shaanxi army suffered heavy casualties, but under Yang Quan's attack, the Qing court perished.

However, when he returned to Beijing, Yang Quan found that the number of officials in the central and southern parts of the capital had increased, and he was set aside, and Zhu Cihong also began to be suspicious of Yang Quan, and imprisoned Yang Quan.

Seeing the situation clearly, the ministers of the DPRK and China began to attack Yang Quan, and they fell into the well one after another, and the southern ministers even shouted for Yang Quan to be executed.

However, the palace guards led the Shaanxi army, attacked the prison, and rescued Yang Quan, but at this time he had been injured in many places, with Yang was rescued, the world was in an uproar, Yang Quan cleanly eradicated other forces in Beijing, re-established the cabinet system, began to reform in the country, removed the unreasonable taxes on farmers, taxed commodities, opened up sea trade, and paid taxes in one of agriculture, industry and commerce, Yang Quan became the first assistant of the cabinet scolded by the officials, businessmen and people in history, but the people soon found that the tax was lighter than before, and the businessmen also found that after the commercial tax, it was transported down, The cost has not increased, but the official scholars still criticize Yang Quan, so that a few years later, future generations want to study Yang Quan, all kinds of text records, and opinions are different, like a layer of fog, how can not be seen clearly.

Yang Quan, who was scolded by everyone, was in the house at this time, looking at the delicate Qi Zimo, and then at the shy Zhu Xiuqing, and couldn't help but get proud, crossing once, and marrying such a beautiful two wives at the same time, it's worth it!
