April.

Shaanxi rebelled against the army of Zhending and Shunde, and plundered on a large scale.

The Ming army had time to breathe, and the Ming army around the capital division and the Ming army of the Daimyo Mansion were ordered to suppress the thieves.

began to gather in the two prefectures of Zhending and Shunde.

The two Ming armies guarded the Beijing Division, and the equipment was excellent, and then the elite was transferred again.

At this time, the Shaanxi rebels encountered a strong opponent, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, who guarded the Daimyo's mansion.

In the second year of Chongzhen, after the Jin soldiers besieged the Beijing division, the Ming army around the king one after another, at this time Lu Xiangsheng formed the "Tianxiong Army" to go north, even after the war Jin, since then the prestige of the earthquake.

Later, he was qualified to participate in politics and deputy envoy to the right, and rectified the military and political affairs of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde.

At this moment, the rebel army occupies Zhending and Shunde, and the south is close to the Daimyo.

The emperor issued an edict, and Lu Xiangsheng led the army north to suppress the thieves.

Lu Xiangsheng led the army north with Liang Pu and Senator Kou Conghua in general.

Arrive at the west mountain area of Lincheng.

At this time, the rebels were often plundering everywhere, often with small groups of men and horses running around, and large battalions sitting in the city.

When Lu Xiangsheng led his army to Xishan, the army encountered a small group of rebels.

Lu Xiangsheng single-handedly killed the enemy army, killed and injured more than ten anti-army thieves with the strength of one person, and then killed his own soldiers, and immediately the anti-army was defeated and fled.

The army then went north to Xishan, and began to divide its troops to clear out the rebels.

At this time, the rebels that Lu Xiangsheng encountered were Lao Huihui and Cao Cao, and Luo Rucai were under the account.

The two led 50,000 rebel troops to sit in Lincheng.

Wen Ming's army went north, and the people and horses released from all over the country were killed and wounded one after another, and they immediately went out of the city to meet the battle.

Outside Lincheng, the guerrilla Dong Weikun led the army to Lincheng, but was probed by the large battalion scouts who happened to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so they set up an ambush in Lengshui Village outside the city.

Originally, the rebels did not have formal uniforms, they were all dressed as villagers, and at this moment they entered the village to set up an ambush, and they became villagers of Lengshui Village without even covering up.

Dong Weikun led the army to come, and just happened to crash into the encirclement set by the anti-army, and suddenly there were anti-troops rushing out in all directions.

The 3,000 Ming army fell into the bag, and one side fought fiercely, and the Ming army was completely annihilated by the rebels.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had already led the Tianxiong army to the south of Lincheng.

Hearing that the Ming army was defeated in the previous battle, Lu Xiangsheng did not blindly go to the rescue, but set up an ambush behind the mountain and waited silently.

The rebels who killed the Ming army were like a rainbow and headed south again.

So Lu Xiangsheng fought back against the rebels and an ambush.

20,000 Tianxiong troops ambushed 50,000 rebel troops.

The two sides fought for an hour.

Lu Xiangsheng led his cavalry to take the lead in the rebel army, three in and three out, and even beheaded the old man and returned to his three major thieves.

The 20,000 Tianxiong army is even more disciplined and skillful.

At noon, the rebels finally couldn't resist it, scattered and fled, not even daring to go back to Lincheng, all the way north, looking for Wang Jiayin's brigade.

In this battle, the Tianxiong army killed 8,000 enemies and captured 10,000 old and weak.

At the same time, in Zhending Mansion in the north, the Ming army also began to fight fiercely with hundreds of thousands of rebels under Wang Jiayin.

This time to suppress the thieves, Emperor Chongzhen made great efforts, and the rebels have all hit the doorstep, so naturally he can't ignore it.

Mobilize 100,000 Ming troops around the Beijing Division to the south.

The two sides fought in Zhendingfu for five days, and there were nearly 100 battles of all sizes.

The anti-army lost more and won less, and after losing 30,000, began to move south.

At the same time, Lao Huihui brought back the military intelligence that Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army to the north.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked by the two forces of the Ming army, Wang Jiayin began to lose his breath, and led the army to move south without saying hello.

At this time, the contradictions between Wang Jiayin, King Chuang, and the Eight Kings were further intensified in the competition for property.

Wang Jiayin fled without telling him, leaving King Chuang and the Eight Kings to support Zhending.

When waiting for King Chuang to find out, Wang Jiayin had already led his troops south to praise the emperor.

King Chuang and the Eight Kings hurriedly dispatched troops to catch up, relying on the strength of the two to fight against more than 100,000 elite Ming troops, or to attack the opponent's north and south, and it is likely to be lost.

But if it is not far from Wang Jiayin, relying on most of the young men under his command can leave Wang Jiayin behind and throw it to feed the Ming army.

Because Wang Jiayin's men are different from them, Wang Jiayin's subordinates are constantly young and strong, as well as a large number of women, children and old people.

So King Chuang and the Eight Kings began to lead their armies south to chase Wang Jiayin.

But he was followed by the Ming army, which led an army of 10,000.

So King Chuang and the Eight Kings set up an ambush in Yuanshi, ambushed the Ming army in a hurry, and the two armies came out, killing the leading general, and then defeated the Ming army, beheading the enemy by 5,000.

After this battle, the Ming army was immediately cautious and did not dare to chase too closely.

So King Chuang and the Eight Kings accelerated southward, and half a month later, they finally caught up with Wang Jiayin in the south of Zhending Mansion.

Converged again, the two sides still tried their best to endure and were unwilling to tear their faces.

The anti-army is a single force.

Began to rush to the border of Henan.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng passed by the rebels and rushed to the place where the Ming army was entrenched in the north.

The Ming army was attracted to Zhendingfu, which was the best time for the army to return to Henan and invade Henan.

So the rebels went straight to Wu'an.

At this time, near Wu'an City, there was a Ming army, which was not small, and that was Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu had been fighting against Houjin in Liaodi, and in March the army entered Hebei, and in April, Chongzhen urgently recruited Zuo Liangyu to lead the Changping army south to Henan, and the intention was to make it defend against the military of the governor of Henan.

Zuo Liangyu is greedy for merit, similar to Hong Chengchou, but the biggest difference between this person and Hong Chengchou is that Zuo Liangyu can go into battle to kill the enemy, relying on his own single-handedness, but Hong Chengchou relies more on his own wisdom, so as to set up tricks and make overall plans.

It was June.

After all, the Beijing division is important, and although the rebel army went south to Henan, Emperor Chongzhen did not order the Jingshi Ming army to pursue, but guarded various important passes near Henan to prevent the rebel army from going north again.

At this time, it can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen is embarrassed, on one side is Houjin, and on the other hand, there is an anti-army.

Since Hou Jin besieged the Beijing division in the second year of Chongzhen's army, Chongzhen was worried every day, taking the war that happened in the second year as a warning, and arranged heavy troops around the Beijing division to prevent Hou Jin from entering the customs again and entering the Beijing division.

But seeing the rebels enter Henan, Chongzhen was also very painful and uncomfortable, a sleeve, tightened on three sides, but left one side to become the depth of the anti-army's roundabout.

The rebels entered Henan, so the center of gravity of the war shifted from Hebei to Henan.

Emperor Chongzhen ordered the Henan Ming army to put down the disaster relief at hand, and at the same time mobilized the Sichuan army to enter Henan to assist the Henan Ming army in clearing the rebels.

The anti-army has been on the rise for five years, and the more the Ming Dynasty suppresses the more thieves.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen pinned his hopes on the officers and soldiers of Henan.

Zuo Liangyu, who has made a lot of contributions in Liaodong, can even withstand Houjin, and I believe that it should not be a problem to fight the rebels.

Sichuan Army Deng Xi, Tusima Xianglin, Ma Fengyi and his wife led the white pole army.

Deng Xi was the first general to put down the rebellion of An Bangyan that year, and he bravely won the three armies, which made An Bangyan frightened when he heard his name, and believed that encirclement and suppression of the rebel army would not be a problem.

The white pole army led by the Ma family and his wife is one of the three major armies of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the same name as the Qi family army and the Yu family army.

After the Qi family army was buried in Liaodi, the white pole army can be said to be one of the most capable armies in the Ming Dynasty, and the other one is the Guanning Iron Cavalry, of course, the Tianxiong army at this time is also half of it.

Although the Ma family and his wife are Tusi, they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Ma Xianglin's wife is the daughter of Shangshu Zhang Quan, married into the Ma family, and followed her husband to fight in the army, so he changed his surname to Ma and led the army in men's clothes.

With these three people leading the elite into Yu to suppress thieves, Emperor Chongzhen can be said to be a lot relieved.

At this time, his confidence increased greatly, and he waited for the good news to spread.
