In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin recruited the 34th battalion of the Shaanxi rebel army, known as 200,000, the whole territory of Zezhou fell, and the Shaanxi rebel army began to move towards the road of unified combat.

At the end of August, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, and Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang, marched into Qinzhou, occupied Qinyuan, trapped Qinzhou, and attacked Wuxiang.

In July, Yang He took charge of the Shaanxi rebel army, and more than 30 people of all sizes were appeased in Ningzhou, set up a throne, and shouted long live, and then the rebel army was disarmed and returned to the field, pardoning its sins and exempting its food.

However, for more than half a month, the rebels repeated again, the Xiezhong rebelled again, and Shaanxi fell into war again.

At the beginning of the fourth year, the imperial historian Wu Zhu entered Shaanxi to help the victims of Yansui, and because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted by the imperial court to patrol Shaanxi. Wu Xiansheng governor, and the governor of Shaanxi three sides of Yang He quite deep disputes, the two secretly fought for power, in July against the army and then again, Wu Xian took the opportunity to impeach Yang He "the main Fu misguided country", Emperor Chongzhen saw that the anti-army in Shanxi in Shaanxi became more and more vigorous, so he ordered the detention of Yang He to return to Beijing.

However, before, when Yang He was in charge, the governor of Suide, Hong Chengchou, was quite effective in his strong suppression, so the imperial court decided that Hong Chengchou would extend the governor of Sui and the right attendant of the military department, the governor of Shaanxi trilateral military affairs, and the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Ming army to suppress the Shaanxi rebels.

In August, in Shanxi, the opposition to the army suddenly became stronger.

The imperial court urgently discussed and ordered Cao Wenzhao, who had lost in Pingyang, to accept the military affairs of Shanxi, to make meritorious contributions, and to suppress thieves in the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi by Hong Chengchou.

Its generals: He Huchen, the general of Yansui, Zhang Yingchang, the deputy general of Dingyuan, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, Xu Dingchen, He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao and many others.

At this time, the whole territory of Shaanxi was basically under the control of the Ming army, Pingyang City in Shanxi was occupied by Tangxi East, and the rest of the counties in Pingyang Mansion were still under the name of the Ming Dynasty, Zezhou was occupied by Wang Jiayin, Qinzhou was taken by the king, the general, and the eight kings, and Yulu'an Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Fenzhou, Liaozhou and Xuanfu, Datong, and the three sides of the head.

In August, in full swing, the construction of the city wall of Binh Duong New City was finally completed.

Tang Xidong's hanging heart finally landed.

The walls were strong enough to withstand the invasion of foreign enemies.

Tens of thousands of acres of land have been cultivated along both sides of the Fen River and the greenhouses of the fertile fields.

There were more than 100,000 people in the city.

The moat, filled with water around the city.

The whole Binh Duong has finally become regular.

Since the last time, Tang Xidong led the army out, and King Chuang and the Eight Great Kings led the rebel army to attack Pingyang City, Tang Xidong knew that blindly holding on to Pingyang City was not enough to make the city enter the mountain safely.

Now Zezhou and Qinzhou are close to Pingyang Prefecture, and they are all occupied by the Shaanxi rebels, and the Ming army in Shaanxi is eyeing them.

There are enemies on all sides, and it is difficult to hold on to a city for long.

So Tang Xidong convened everyone to discuss the military.

This military meeting is the first important meeting after the completion of Pingyang City, and it is also the biggest breakthrough in history for everyone in Luoliang Mountain.

Because, Tang Xidong decided to go out.

This was the beginning of the expansion of the territory.

The meeting decided that for the sake of the safety of Binh Duong City, it was decided to send troops to occupy the cities near Binh Duong in the east, west, north and south, and stretch out their tentacles as peripheral defensive positions and distant outposts.

From the north, take Hongdong, Zhaocheng, until Huozhou, east to Yueyang, Fushan two counties, south to Quwo, Yicheng, Jiangzhou, west to Xiangning, Jizhou.

Considering that the pressure in the north, east and south directions is the greatest at this time.

Tang Xidong decided to divide the troops into three routes, led by Li Shangquan, Jia Hu, and Zhang Xiahai, respectively, a part of the members of the Pingyang First Regiment, equipped with guns and cannons, and at the same time added personnel of the New Army Reserve to go to three directions, attack the city and plunder the land, and garrison each city.

Through the war, let the reserves grow as soon as possible.

Tang Xidong led the Luoliangshan Company to personally garrison Pingyang City.

It's time for everyone to go out and have a blast on their own.

Whole August.

Every day, there were reports of the battle, and the whole battle situation was purely one-sided.

The county towns of Pingyang Prefecture have already been attacked and disturbed by the Shaanxi rebels once before, and even the Shaanxi rebels can break through the county seats, not to mention the Pingyang regiment with sharp guns.

It took ten days, Li Shangquan had already captured Hongdong, Zhaocheng, and marched towards Huozhou, while Jia Hu broke through Yueyang and marched on the road to Fushan in the south, Zhang Xiahai was even more powerful, because he was the commander of Pingyang Wei before, after going south, he directly contacted the subordinates of friends he knew before, and in just ten days, he had conquered the three cities of Quwo, Yicheng and Jiangzhou.

When the siege of the city was underway, Tang Xidong continued to send stewards in the rear to lead his capable men to the city to appease the people and carry out political reform.

The first thing to do is to tempt the people with the grain, first give sweetness, so that everyone can eat enough, and then carry out household registration reform, and implement group, A, and internal control.

Later, the military tax promulgated by the Ming Dynasty was abolished, the children of poor and middle-aged families were selected to enter the new army for training, and the children were forcibly sent to Pingyang City for school education.

When everything is done in the early stage, it means that the control of the people in the city has been reached.

This was followed by a series of construction movements.

Strengthen the city walls, build roads, equip the county with public facilities, exploit nearby resources, reclaim wasteland, and so on.

Let everyone eat enough, and some dry, you can see the rapid changes, and you have a sense of freshness in your heart.

It is Tang Xidong's control of a city that has achieved the expected goal.

The counties around the small and self-sufficient Binh Duong City can continue to build as long as there are people to eat.

The time was pushed back by seven days.

Huozhou was taken down on the same day as Fushan.

Tang Xidong ordered three people.

Li Shangquan was stationed in Huozhou, supervised the defense of the northern front, was fully responsible for military defense, and assisted officials to go to the three cities in the north to carry out political reform.

Jia Hu sat in Fushan, monitored the movement of the rebels in the direction of Zezhou, and at the same time focused on assisting the dispatch of officials to open the road between the three cities of Fushan, Yueyang, and Pingyang, so as to prepare for the start of the war in Japan and the march of the army would not be delayed by the mountain road.

Zhang Xiahai sat in Quwo and sent troops to defend Yicheng and Jiangzhou to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes and assist officials in political reform.

For the officials dispatched to each city, they are still given the right to be the head of a county, but they need to report back to the government to improve the city every day, and at the same time receive the government decree from Binh Duong City at any time.

At the same time, in each county town, the departments of supervision, inspection, finance, industry, agriculture, commerce, personnel, intelligence, and military departments were divided and set up.

Throughout August and September, all the counties around Binh Duong City are in full swing of transformation.

At the same time, considering that the two counties of Xiangning and Jizhou in the west are far away, the mountain road is difficult to walk.

Tang Xidong asked Zhang Sanshi to lead the reserve army to the Hongshan Pass, a hundred miles west of Pingyang City, to build a pass, and stationed the pass to guard against the enemy from the west.

Pingyang City once again recruited 10,000 reserve new troops, day and night drills, and after conquering eight county seats, statistics recruited 16,000 new troops, plus the previous 10,000 reserves, 5,000 Pingyang regiment, and 3,000 Luoliangshan companies.

Tang Xidong's troops reached about 45,000 men.

The population under his command reached more than 200,000.

Nine cities, one pass.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land.

20 million taels of gold and silver treasures, tens of millions of catties of grain.

At the same time, it began to popularize the cultivation of maize and potatoes, and to develop fish husbandry and aquaculture.

Everywhere built official roads connecting the city, cement and gravel pavement.

There are eight mines in hand, six coal mouths, all industries are still arranged in Luoliang Mountain, and the scale of cement plants, ironworks, and steel mills continues to expand, and they are under the unified management of Xu San Province, which is located in Luoliang Mountain.

Craftsmen's workshops and gunpowder pharmacies are also constantly being joined, and they are still tightly controlled and isolated in the city.

There are more than 30,000 children in the school.
