"Dashuai, Dashuai, it's not good!"

A soldier hurriedly ran into the marshal's mansion of the Shandong Army, because they all knew each other, the soldiers guarding the door did not stop them, and the soldier came to the lobby and gave a military salute and bowed his head and shouted.

I don't know who said it in private, the Shandong army quickly unified Wang Zheng for the title of marshal, Wang Zheng actually didn't care about these titles, at first symbolically said a few words, and then saw that everyone said so and didn't bother to mention it again.

Hearing this anxious shout, Wang Zheng put down the brush in his hand and asked back with a frown:

"What's the news?"

"Yu Dashuai, Qingcheng, Le'an and other places in Jinan, Qingzhou and other prefectures are pouring rain day and night, and the water has become a disaster!" The soldier handed over a paperwork, then bowed respectfully.

Wang Zheng opened the paperwork and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be a flood.

The day and night downpour caused the Qinghe River and the filial piety water branches to burst the embankment, and the houses along the river toppled and flooded the four farms, and the people living in these four farms were moved outside the city by the local barracks officials, and after opening a porridge field, they built simple shacks for them to live in.

As a result of the flood, the newly resettled people became refugees again, at least more than 1,000 people, and the fields that had been recultivated for a short time were destroyed, and the losses of the Shandong army were incalculable.

Wang Zheng thought for a moment, put down the paperwork and shouted:

"Prepare the horse, Ben Shuai is going to Futai Yamen and Liu Jianjun's mansion!"

Naturally, the Shandong army could not completely carry it by itself, and no matter how little meat it was, it was also meat, so Wang Zheng went to Yan Jizu and Liu Yunzhong successively, and after explaining the truth, the three of them discussed and decided to report to the imperial court.

The excerpt has been delivered to the Ministry of War, but the efficiency of the imperial court Wang Zheng knows very well, waiting for the silver and two materials for disaster relief to be sent to Shandong, maybe how long it will take, in order to prevent the flood from causing a bad impact, he must still have to pay out of his own pocket for disaster relief.

All matters related to disaster relief were handed over to the right military council of the military council department to be in charge of Qingtian's coordination, and the local government recruited the people and transferred some red-clothed salt to repair the dikes of the Qinghe River and the filial piety water.

After the water stopped, the flooded farms were rebuilt, and the flooded fields had to wait until the humidity went down before plowing again.

By the time the flood disaster was initially resolved, it was already in February, and according to the statistical results reported by the Counsellors and Finance Department of the Military Council, the Shandong Army had invested more than 3,000 taels of silver in this small flood.

Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it is better to have fewer natural disasters, and picked up the Di Bao that had not been touched for a few days.

On the seventh day of the first month of February, Yang Sichang ordered the general Zuo Liangyu to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, and Zuo Liangyu led the Zuo battalion to meet Zhang Xianzhong at Gongpingguan (west of Xing'an County, Shaanxi), and Zhang Xianzhong was defeated.

Zuo Liangyu led his troops from Hanyang Xixiang into Shu to pursue, Yang Sichang was deeply afraid of ambush, and ordered Zuo Liangyu to send partial generals to chase and suppress, Zuo Liangyu threw the military order to the ground, not dispatched from Yang Sichang, and personally led the troops and horses to chase Zhang Xianzhong to Jiu Rolling Ping.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that Agate Mountain was steep and led his troops to climb the mountain.

When the left battalion soldiers arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Xianzhong had already captured the top of the mountain and refused to defend, so Zuo Liangyu divided the troops into three ways, and ordered to hear the drum and go up, and the left battalion fought with the Liukou day and night, and the corpses were all over the field.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in this battle, the foot soldiers were scattered, Zuo Liangyu captured and beheaded Cao Wei, the king of the land, and the leaders of the righteous army such as the White Horse Deng Tianwang A total of 16 people, in addition, Zhang Xianzhong fled into Xingshan and returned to the mountains, and even his wife and concubine were captured by the Zuo Battalion soldiers.

Soon Zhang Xianzhong led the remnants into Xing'an, Fang County, Yang Sichang ordered Zuo Ying to attack the mountain, Zuo Liangyu was afraid that the mountain was too dangerous, and once again disobeyed the order, causing Zhang Xianzhong to lurk in the dense forest and disappear without a trace.

The left battalion was stationed at the foot of the mountain, day and night to prepare for Zhang Xianzhong to go out of the mountain, but in fact, Zhang Xianzhong bribed the mountain people to make all of them become the eyes and ears of the rogues, and learned the movements of the left camp from the mouth of the mountain people.

Zuo Liangyu was still confidently guarding the mountain, but Zhang Xianzhong had already escaped from the back mountain trail under the leadership of the mountain people, and collected the various departments of the Liukou along the way and transferred to Chudi.

In addition, the situation of the Qing Kingdom outside the Guanxi has gradually stabilized since the Battle of Hetuala, and all the forces that do not obey Huang Taiji no longer exist.

In the past, the various Mongolian tribes that were entangled with the Manchu Qing Dynasty were already scattered after Lin Dan Khan's defeat in Qinghai, and now they have all been beaten back to their primitive form, and they can't even talk about their power, some of them are attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and are incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the other part is defeated by the Qing army, giving up the land of horse grazing and leaving Mobei.

North Korea completely turned its back on the Ming Dynasty, and the upper table of Nagong became a vassal state of the Qing State, and Huang Taiji organized the Ming army brought by Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others and the Ming army that continued to surrender later into the Han Eight Banners, and the Koreans were organized into the Korean accompanying army, which was better than nothing.

After the incident in Hetuala last year, Huang Taiji was really angry with the king, and almost went directly to see Nurhachi and Princess Dongguo, but it may be that the destiny has not arrived, and it is said that Huang Taiji gradually improved when he had his last breath left, which is really surprising.

After Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others recovered, Huang Taiji immediately sent Azig as the general of Doluo Yangwu and led the army to attack Ningyuan to cooperate with it.

The current Manchu Qing Dynasty, on the one hand, used the people and livestock captured in the Guannai last year to cultivate the fields outside the Guan, and supplemented the losses caused by the continuous war and the Hetuala.

On the other hand, Dolgon sent the Eight Banners of Manchuria into the deep mountains and forests to search and capture the uncivilized Jurchen tribes and Saurons inside, whether they wanted to or not, these strong primitives would be forcibly incorporated into the Eight Banners of Manchuria to strengthen their own strength.

Huang Taiji's most concerned Han troops are Kong Youde's Wu Zhenchao Ha firearms troops, this Han soldiers and horses brought by Kong Youde have advanced artillery and firearms, that kind of giant cannon is the magic weapon of the Manchurian iron cavalry to conquer the city.

However, despite this, the number of firecrackers in the Qing army was still pitiful, and Huang Taiji could only order the king of Joseon to requisition and transfer inferior firecrackers from Korea into the Qing army.

The Manchu Qing side was moving bigger and bigger, and the Ming court naturally knew about it, so in the first month, Emperor Chongzhen transferred Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, as the governor of Jiliao, responsible for facing the Qing army.

Although the Qin army led by Sun Chuanting achieved brilliant results in the fight against Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other rogues, and could be said to be the strongest in the provinces, Emperor Chongzhen felt that Beizhili was unstable and ordered Sun Chuanting to be transferred as the governor of Baoding.

Yang Sichang, the governor in charge of the encirclement and suppression of the peasant army, strongly opposed it, but at the suggestion of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, the Qin army was transferred from the Shaanxi front and transferred to take charge of the defense of Beizhili and other places.

As for why Hong Chengchou suggested to Emperor Chongzhen, some people say that Hong Chengchou privately disagreed with the governor Yang Sichang, so he did it in the court, and some people say that Hong Chengchou received the benefits of someone, and there are different opinions......

The governor of the three sides of Shaanxi after Sun Chuanting was Zheng Gongjian, the squire of the military department, and when Zheng Gongjian arrived, the rogues on the three sides of Shaanxi were already rampant because they were not suppressed by the Qin army, and they were swarming like locusts.

Zheng Gongjian is different from Sun Chuanting, he does not personally command the soldiers and horses, and he does not have absolute authority in the three armies.

Zheng Gongjian, the newly appointed governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, was overstretched because he did not have any troops and horses to listen to the dispatch, and his troops were suddenly insufficient in garrison and dispatch in various places, resulting in the rapid expansion of the bandits on the three sides of Shaanxi.
