Chongzhen for five years.

For future generations, it is a year that will determine history.

So much has happened in this year.

But for Tang Xidong, Chongzhen has only gone half of the five years for the time being.

Houjin's second entry ended in failure.

More than 10,000 real Jurchens were killed and injured, which made the people in power in Houjin feel the pain of their skin.

For Hou Jin, Da Ming is still the same Da Ming, but there is a name that makes Nurhachi's sons hold a grudge.

That is Binh Duong Tang Xi East.

This man killed Azig.

This is the second Houjin royal family to die in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the first is the old pig Pi Nurhachi.

This entry into the customs not only allowed Houjin to put away his contempt for Daming, but also allowed Daming to regain morale.

The entire Ming Dynasty from north to south, once again rose a Zhongxing atmosphere.

It was as if in an instant, a dead game of chess was brought to life.

Houjin remembered Tang Xidong, but in Daming, no one noticed such a figure.

Whatever the reason.

The Ming court deceived Emperor Chongzhen from the bottom up, and even the closest Jinyi Guard, the closest Son of Heaven, ignored the word Tang Xidong in the military report that was played.

Azig was killed by Cao Wenzhao's father and son.

Dolgon's army was heavily defeated by 70,000 Shaanxi Ming troops led by Hong Chengchou.

Of course, because Zhang Zongheng escaped halfway, Hong Chengchou, who held a grudge, naturally would not let Zhang Zongheng receive any credit.

And in this war that hit Houjin hard.

The Ming army in Shaanxi fought bravely and was not afraid of death, but in the end it naturally suffered heavy losses, with only 20,000 people left, and only 10,000 of the 30,000 border troops led by Cao Wenzhao and his son.

The only one who got nothing was Zhang Zongheng.

Although Zhang Zongheng also killed and injured more than 1,000 Houjin.

But this point was automatically ignored by the imperial court, and he was either removed from office or demoted.

And the father and son of the Cao family, because of their courage to kill the enemy, the father and son were seriously injured and were taken back to Shaanxi by Hong Chengchou to treat their injuries.

This time the twists and turns were played one after another, and Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were moist when he was moved, and he sat on the dragon chair, and his eyes were moist immediately.

All the words are: Daming Zhongliang, Daming Zhongliang!

But the Ming Dynasty is loyal and good, and the Manchu civil and military forces don't know if they will feel ashamed.

After a big battle against Jin, Tang Xidong didn't seem to have caught anything, and he killed and injured two thousand old brothers in vain.

When Tang Xidong returned to Pingyang, everyone thought so.

But no one knew that what Azig said, naturally no one could understand, and in an instant, a war related to the life and death of Pingyang had been resolved by Tang Xidong.

The entire Shanxi and Shaanxi Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and it was no longer enough to resist the pace of Tang Xidong.

End of June.

Tang Xidong, who returned to Binh Duong, began to preside over the agricultural affairs of the summer grain harvest.

Fortunately, under the heavy rain in June, it is rare to have two days of good weather.

The summer grain was successfully harvested, and the grain in Tang Xidong's hands finally had no worries.

Just when Tang Xidong began to prepare for autumn planting.

A catastrophe that completely affected the situation in the Ming Dynasty appeared.

Ten days of heavy rain in July finally made the Yellow River's dikes unable to stop the surging water.

Shaanxi and Henan flooded greatly, thousands of miles of swamps, thousands of miles of flooding.

A disaster that fell on the people of the Ming Dynasty appeared.

A disaster that should have been expected but ignored has finally struck.

And Binh Duong is safe and sound.

When the news of the floods in Shaanxi and Henan spread in Pingyang, people officially recognized Tang Xidong's vision.

While rejoicing, I am also grateful to this person in power in Pingyang.

When the disaster came, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting in the capital, finally couldn't sit still.

The land of two provinces, tens of millions of people.

In Henan, in particular, there are at most many people in the region, and if we do not provide timely relief and disaster relief, I am afraid that it will cause a civil strife that is even greater than the momentum of the anti-army in Shaanxi.

So Emperor Chongzhen convened his ministers and six ministers day and night to discuss disaster relief.

At the same time, it is natural to hold officials from both places accountable.

But after three days, Emperor Chongzhen was silent.

Speaking of which, it is to stretch out your hand and ask for money and food.

Neither of these things, Chongzhen has either.

Da Ming is really in trouble to the point that even an emperor is stumped for a penny.

As a result, disaster relief has become an empty joke, a term between Chongzhen and the minister, which is talked about every day, and something that the victims urgently need but can't wait.

Looking at Daming, it seems that no one can stop this disaster and save the victims in dire straits.

Then Tang Xidong, appeared.

Zhang Sanshi took 20,000 new troops, requisitioned ships from all over the country, began to cross the river into the border of Henan, and began to rescue the people of Henan in the flood day and night, and then transported back to Pingyang.

In addition to the 20,000 new troops, many people in Binh Duong joined them.

Mighty processions, thousands of ships large and small.

The number of people who have been rescued is increasing day by day, the number of boats is increasing day by day, and the number of people rescued from both men and women has ranged from hundreds to thousands and finally to nearly 10,000 people every day.

Every day.

No one will understand Tang Xidong's intentions.

Plainly help the people who do not belong to their own territory, give them food, drink, medical treatment and clothing.

Everyone thought that this man was a good officer with a compassionate heart.

But only Tang Xidong knew that his eyes had been fixed on the whole of Shanxi.

The place is too big, and he needs to fill it with population.

It takes too much of a population, and that's enough for him to have the strength to occupy the entire population of Shanxi.

This is the purpose of his efforts to save the people and spend huge manpower, material and financial resources.

By the end of July, 100,000 people had been transferred to Binh Duong.

It is still temporarily arranged according to the simple model of the homeless camp.

As more and more people were rescued, the rescued people began to consciously join the ranks of disaster relief, some perhaps because their relatives were still there, and some sincerely hoped to save more people.

By the 10th of August, 250,000 people had been rescued and placed in camps.

At this point, Tang Xidong ordered Zhang Sanshi to start withdrawing his troops, and the rest of the things were handed over to the people to do.

Tang Xidong began his own new plan.

That is to occupy the entire territory of Shanxi.

After a big battle, the Ming army was almost defeated, and the Shaanxi rebels are now recruiting troops in Liaozhou and Lu'an, recuperating and waiting for a new opportunity to come.

Except for a small half of Qinzhou in the hands of the rebels, the other temporarily became a no-man's land, Zezhou was originally occupied by the Ming army of Huaiqing Prefecture, and later Tang Xidong returned to Pingyang, when the flood occurred, the Ming army began to withdraw back to Huaiqing.

In addition to the small Ming army of Fenzhou Wei, Fenzhou is an empty state, and when Taiyuan Mansion galloped in Houjin, the Ming army had already been frightened and was not enough to be an enemy.

In this way, Tang Xidong has enough confidence and strength to control the boundaries of Shanxi.

This time, he wants to fight openly and occupy it.

He wanted Emperor Chongzhen to see, not only could the Ming Dynasty not kill him, but also couldn't stop him from growing step by step.

While recruiting new troops among the displaced people and the people of Pingyang, he ordered Zhang Xiahai, Zhang Sanshi, Jia Hu, and Li Shangquan to reorganize their soldiers and armaments and prepare for an attack.

At the beginning of August, Tang Xidong again recruited 100,000 new troops from among the homeless people and ordinary people for intensive training.

The fifteenth day of August passed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

Tang Xidong held a military conference.

Draw up a military plan for the three states and one government.
