Chapter 130 Marching into Shaanxi
This battle to defend Hancheng can be regarded as a big victory, but it is a small victory, defeating more than 20,000 enemy troops, and beheading only more than 1,000, because those anti-thieves are really fast, this is a blessing and a curse, if the militia is not running fast, whether Hong Chengchou can win or not is another matter.
But this battle has attracted widespread attention, including Chongzhen, since the Northwest People's Uprising, it has been a few years, but only two people have won the battle, Ning Zhiyuan and Hong Chengchou, who is just beginning to show his prominence.
Ning Zhiyuan is less than seventeen years old, just a person's identity, if Chongzhen insists on reusing him to quell the chaos, it is okay to ignore the opposition of the court, after all, now Ning Zhiyuan is a prince Shaobao is a second-grade official, although there is no real power, but there is also a third-grade governor The power is still very large, but the current peace in Ningxia is not even Chongzhen can bear to break.
So Hong Chengchou's abnormal performance attracted Chongzhen's attention, and he decided to investigate it for a while, and then choose whether to reuse him.
Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard about this, feeling that he had lost unjustly, and compared to the stunned young man before, he was obviously much more mature.
On the way, he heard that some anti-people compared Hong Chengchou with Ning Zhiyuan, he felt very disdainful, he could kill Shen Yikui with his seven thousand subordinates, and Shen Yikui was more difficult than Wang Zuogui, which was recognized, so the tens of thousands of troops in Zhiyuan Ningxia to quell the chaos were definitely just crushing, and there was no need to work hard at all.
Li Dingguo thinks so, and Ning Zhiyuan also thinks so, dealing with the militia is indeed a simple matter, but the militia will run, so it is certain that after quelling the chaos in Shaanxi, the anti-people will run to other provinces.
After all, it can't be done once and for all, unless they are fed, unless they are all killed. Hong Chengchou chose the latter, because the former couldn't even be done by Chongzhen, and he couldn't do it.
The incident in Hancheng was only the beginning of Hong Chengchou, but it made him really realize one thing, Yang He was a fool, and he spent 200,000 taels of silver on these militia wastes for only half a year for peace. If it is used to pay military salaries, 20,000 people can be paid for one year, which is enough to quell the chaos.
But this victory told him that the militia was so unbearable, and he believed that he would definitely create a peaceful and prosperous era for Chongzhen and make contributions.
At this time, he was a little nostalgic for the first battle in his life, the army led by the half-eldest son. In comparison, that army just didn't have a competent commander, and it was much more powerful than Wang Zuogui and others, why hadn't he heard of this anti-thief? Hong Chengchou was a little puzzled, and then began to investigate
He believes that this is a hidden danger, a huge hidden danger.
Ningxia Wei, Ning Zhiyuan hugged Shang Jinglan and pondered. Several girls were in the courtyard.
This has become a habit, and it is really a bit of a hooligan. Whenever he thinks about it, holding a girl will make him feel full, no need for him to shout to come to his arms, which one to hold is which, Ningxia Wei has nothing to do recently, but there are a lot of things happening around.
Let's not talk about the civil unrest in Shaanxi. He had heard a little about Hong Chengchou in his previous life, and he just hoped to take advantage of this chaos to make Li Dingguo mature, but with the deeds of 7,000 to 30,000 last time, there should be progress, but it can't be said that it is an elite army. It can only be said that Li Dingguo's level of leading troops has improved a lot, and his fit with the army has become stronger.
How useless the militia is, he knows that there is no need for elite soldiers, only soldiers who need to listen to the command are enough.
And the news that Sun Yi gave him, Yang He asked him to lead the troops to fight to quell the chaos, and asked Ning Zhiyuan what he should do, and Ning Daguan was analyzing the pros and cons at this time.
Before Ningxia Mansion was restored by Chongzhen, Sun Yi listened to Yang He's command well, Yang He's official position was the governor of the three sides, governing Ningxia, Gansu, and Yansui trilateral, and working in Guyuan, so theoretically it was the fourth of the nine important towns in management, and it was commanded with Guyuan as the central point, but Yang He had not been working in Guyuan, and it was estimated that Zhou Chi was too hard at that time, so he had been working in Shaanxi.
But now it's different, Guyuan belongs to Ningxia and belongs to Ning Zhiyuan, and Ning Zhiyuan is under Yang He's control, so Sun Yi chose to report to Ning Daguan, and aside from all this, he is also more willing to listen to Ning Zhiyuan's command, as he himself said, this is a very capable governor.
Chongzhen didn't let him quell the chaos, which shows that Chongzhen has other thoughts in his heart, after all, he is connected to the border of Mongolia here, and the location is very important, but this order for help, to a certain extent, he still has to accept it.
He has many reasons to refuse, but he doesn't want to, there are many reasons, but the most important thing is two, first, to start his fame, now he is very famous, but the more famous he is, the better, as for the second point, Ning Daguan raised his head and wanted to look at the moon and sigh, but the sun was dazzling.
The second point is naturally to repay Chongzhen's trust, only sixteen years old, a second-grade master, rare in the world, the feeling of repaying the favor is really sad, just like facing Feng Xue at that time.
But Feng Xue is more pleasing to the eye than Chongzhen.
And this time, he wants to personally lead the troops, just leading the soldiers of Guyuan, and he can also enhance his prestige.
Yang He was a little blind at this time, he was the governor of the three sides, he had no soldiers in his hands, and the saint wanted to calm the chaos by himself, what kind of peace would he take? He is just a civil official, and he ended up on this errand just because he bragged about it at that time, and even, he was a little jealous of Hong Chengchou, who was a civilian official, why did you fight?
Transferring troops, there are still some soldiers in the hands of those general soldiers under him, Gansu and Ningxia don't want to think about it for the time being, not to mention the border defense line, and the governor of Ningxia is the crown prince Shaobao of the emperor's Qinfeng, and he originally commanded him with a guilty body, and he didn't have that confidence.
Yansui is still in chaos there, so I think there is only Guyuan, although it is also under Ning Zhiyuan, but it is close to Shaanxi, and it is also where he should have been in the mansion, but the general soldier last time was really hateful, and he didn't even be able to enter Guyuan, but he recently changed a general soldier, he should be obedient, right?
The order was given, waited for two days, there was no result, and he was desperate.
On the third day, news came that there were reinforcements, and the person leading the troops was Ning Zhiyuan, the governor of Ningxia.
The joy is that there are reinforcements, and the surprise is that it is Ning Zhiyuan who leads the troops, and the panic is that the reinforcements led by Ning Zhiyuan don't know if it is useless, if Ning Zhiyuan is just an empty shell, then his own crime will be even greater.
In the final analysis, Ning Zhiyuan's age is really a little young, and his fame is terrifying, beheading nearly 10,000 Mongolians, everyone says so, but Yang He didn't see it and didn't believe it.
And the key is that he feels that Ning Zhiyuan is just a person, not literate or martial.
Hong Chengchou is also a jinshi, stronger than Ning Zhiyuan.
And at this time.
At this time, Shen Yikui led four cadres, Red Youjun, Li Dusi, Du San, Yang Laochai, plus himself, a total of nearly 50,000 young and strong, with a population of more than 100,000, and a huge momentum, entrenched in the western part of Shaanxi, no one dared to provoke.
The same goes for Hong Chengchou, but it's only temporary. He has confidence in himself, but he is also self-aware, dozens of times the difference in strength, let's forget it first, let's deal with the easy ones first, so he aimed at Wang Zuogui, who had just been defeated by him.
And Shen Yikui's life is roughly a routine, robbing the squire, robbing the rich businessmen, robbing the women, killing the magistrate, killing the prefect, occasionally killing a small group of officers and soldiers, life is so happy, as he knows, no one dares to mess with him.
Of course, it refers to the territory of Shaanxi.
In Guyuan Town, one day, 8,000 troops were dispatched, and they rushed out of Ningxia.
Ning Daguan was very calm at this time.
Two thousand cavalry, six thousand infantry, this is a real soldier, it is easy to deal with the militia, he may not be able to do what Hong Chengchou did, he can command a group of chaotic patchwork of ragtag troops, but his soldiers are all trained, years of training, stronger than Hong Chengchou.
He has already promoted the training method to the whole of Ningxia, naturally including Guyuan, he is not very familiar with the soldiers of Guyuan, but he knows a few thousand households, and in Ningxia Weizhong, he can almost call the names of all hundred households.
"My lord, Zhou Zhi's girl is okay." Lu Hui asked with a big grin, but controlling the volume, only a few people around could hear it, thick and fine, Ning Zhiyuan felt.
After all, Zhou Zhi is still a secret that cannot be said.
"You can all go and see this time." Ning Daguan smiled, "My father-in-law still wants to drink with his brothers." ”
Lu Hui laughed, he was originally a thousand households, and now he is still in front of Sun Yi's deputy, if it was his previous official position, he would be the deputy chief soldier of Guyuan, so he naturally wanted to avoid it a little, and they didn't go last time Ning Zhiyuan became a relative.
After all, as an outgoing general, it is inappropriate to always have too much interaction with his former general soldiers, but this governor does not seem to care at all, and is facing their temper.
"I'll listen to the adults as soon as possible and quickly put down the chaos." Lu Hui showed a smile and said confidently, whether to go to Ningxia Wei or not is one thing, it doesn't matter, but this Ningda's own attitude is very important.
