"After the army has crossed the river in three days, it must go south immediately and join the Henan battlefield as soon as possible.

Qin Yiming, the new commander of the Beijing Battalion Suppression and Reinforcement Army, watched the various departments rushing to cross the river first, and was very satisfied, thinking that he was poor and destitute that day, and led the Sichuan army to have 1,200 white pole soldiers, wearing straw sandals, and holding the most rudimentary weapons to go north to King Qin, so far, three years!

Now, Desheng Shangyi finally deposited 100,000 silver in the national treasury, recruited 7,000 troops in Miyun, Zhangde and other places, and the actual number was 7,000, together with the generals Zhang Shiyi, Yang Zhengxin, Lu Zongmei and other soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, and then brought 800 sturdy men and 3,000 soldiers and horses from the Shizhu battalion who went out of Sichuan, a total of 15,000 people, divided into four divisions, crossed the river successively, and joined the Henan battlefield.

Qin Yiming and others participated in the pacification of the civil unrest in the southwest and fought a war, and their personalities were relatively timid, but they couldn't stand his aunt Qin Liangyu, a heroic woman among the daughters, and there were pioneer officers Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi and his wife, of which Ma Xianglin was the commander of the Shizhu Battalion, and his wife Zhang Fengyi was a general, with 3,000 elite soldiers and horses.

This is also the last elite sent by Emperor Chongzhen for Henan, and the expectations for them are very large, and it is rare that even before Qin Yiming left Beijing, he was crowned as the governor of the capital, and sent four thousand taels of silver to appease his army, all of which made Qin Yiming deeply moved and determined to die.

Therefore, all the ministries rushed to cross the river first and quickly joined the battlefield of suppressing bandits in Kaifeng Mansion at the moment.

Even, its striker Ma Xianglin led 500 cavalry, crossed the river two days earlier than the whole army, and now has arrived in Xinxiang, and is even about to enter Kaifeng Mansion.

"This is very happy, and the order is given to all departments, fight in the starry night, drive the thieves to the north, and gather and annihilate them."

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Henan, finally heard the best news this year, with Qin Yiming, a new force of 15,000 people, joining the battlefield, then it would be easier for him to fight with the Liukou.

Even when Zuo Liangyu and Shanxi soldiers and horses who wandered in Henan Province, heard that the imperial court sent a large army into Henan to participate in the war, they also moved, which originally existed in Henan's three soldiers and horses, the strength has reached more than 20,000 people, all of them are elite, this move, the thieves will be difficult, don't look at the number 36 battalion and 72 liukou is quite strong, but there is no elite.

The two largest of them, is Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang's troops, although there are some elite, but the main force of the decisive battle, but there is no capital, I heard that Zuo Liangyu stationed in Henan Mansion moved, Wang Ziyong still wanted to take advantage of it, but he couldn't stand Zuo Liangyu to atone for his crimes, a fight, his troops were embarrassed, and they couldn't stand in place, so they could only flee north.

Gao Yingxiang originally wanted to wait and see for a while, but unfortunately when he saw this situation, where did he dare to stay for a long time, so he went out of Kaifeng and entered Huaiqing, and acted in the border area between Shanxi and Henan, in order to avoid the main force of the official army.

At the beginning of July, Qin Yiming supervised the main force of the Beijing camp and joined the Tianxiong army of Lu Xiangsheng back to the division in Zhengzhou, with a strength of more than 20,000 people.

"Xiaguan Qin Yiming, meet Lord Futai."

It is said that the governor of the capital, Qin Yiming, the commander of the reinforcements, has a higher official position than Lu Xiangsheng who patrols Henan, but he can't stand the division of civil and military affairs, the civil and military positions are low, and the former round Dudu killed Mao Dudu, which is exactly the case, so he preemptively met in Yuanmen, and did not dare to slack off.

"Meet Futai-sama."

The generals behind him also echoed loudly, left and right and entered the big tent together, Lu Xiangsheng saw that the Beijing camp and the Shizhu battalion were strong and strong, and his heart was immediately happy, with this strong reinforcement, Henan can be expected to be pacified.

"It's okay, colleagues, please,"

As soon as he sat down, Lu Xiangsheng first had a good conversation with these people, and then said,

"Dare to ask the general soldiers, how are the soldiers, can they be worthy of a battle?"

"Returning to Futai, the last general added four divisions, a total of 15,740 soldiers, 3,000 horses, 2,000 armor, 4,000 firearms, 200 chariots, 80 artillery pieces, the whole army, all of them are grateful to the emperor for his grace, and he is willing to drive for the imperial court."

Qin Yiming has nothing else, but he inherited the tradition of the Shizhu family dying for the Ming Dynasty, and is very familiar with the details of his own generals.

"Great goodness, the general army is like a pillar stone, pacifying Henan, and the day can be expected."

An ordinary general soldier, when Lu Xiangsheng asked, he was either secretive, either he didn't know how many soldiers he had, or he had a heart for self-preservation and refused to contribute, like Qin Yiming, there are few in the Ming Dynasty!

"Futai praises falsely, the last general is dedicated to the public, just waiting for Futai's order, all the ministries are vying to be the first to serve the court!"

"Okay, get the big picture."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know the truth of his words, but now the situation in Henan can't wait, in the east, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other remaining 150,000 or 60,000 people, wreaking havoc in the place, but the back and forth fighting, just make you unable to fight, and their troops are scattered, and the officials and troops go south, they go north, and they can't catch it at all.

And now, he has a full 15,000 fresh troops in hand, which is enough to change the situation of the entire Henan, Lu Xiangsheng is the best at this plan, and he is the most important in national affairs, so he asked Qin Yiming to come up, pointed to the big picture that had been placed, and after talking to him, he asserted,

"The thieves in the east, elusive, march eastward with soldiers, although they can temporarily relieve the siege, but they can't kill the thieves, I want to gather the two main forces, first fight Huaiqing, annihilate Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang, two big thieves, and then wave the army to the east, one south and one north alternately advance with each other, completely exterminate these two bandits, what do the general soldiers see?"

Lu Xiangsheng finally waited for such an upright general, why didn't he hurry up and throw out his battle plan,

Although Qin Yiming is not very courageous, he still has a vision, when he recovered the four cities of Yongping, he fought with his aunt, and the command was still not chaotic, so he nodded heavily,

"What Lord Futai said is very true, Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang, each is the commander of the rogue bandits, the most important thing is to fight these two bandits, and the rest is not to worry, I intend to join forces with Futai to exterminate these thieves first, but I am worried that these two bandits will join forces together, and it will not be so easy to fight at that time."

For the combat effectiveness of the thieves, everyone has no doubts, but they can't stand the information collected by the official army, Wang Ziyong has 150,000 soldiers, Gao Yingxiang has 100,000 soldiers, even if you put aside the water and the old, weak, sick and disabled, the two together, there must be 20,000 or 30,000 young and strong soldiers and horses, if they are combined, it will almost be the same as the main force of the official army.

"Don't worry, general, I heard Gao Yingxiang, I have always been at odds with Wang Ziyong, these two people are wary of each other, although they are all the way to Huaiqing, but they don't have the same heart, the two armies are separated by a hundred miles, even if they rescue each other at that time, it will be too late,"

Lu Xiangsheng was well prepared before the war, just saying that the distance between the two thieves was enough to make people feel at ease, they could only fight twenty miles a day, and then they would fight the king who was entrenched in Heyin first, even if Gao Yingxiang abandoned his previous suspicions and was willing to send troops to rescue, it would be four or five days later.

Gathering the elite soldiers and horses of the Tianxiong Army and the Jingying Shizhu Battalion, he is still afraid that he will not be able to solve the problem of Wang Ziyong within four or five days? The current dilemma is that he can't catch the main force used by the king himself, how to lead the army to pounce on him, and if he doesn't catch it, then the problem will be big, and now there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with him.

"Why worry about Futai, my army is going south, day and night, and no news has been leaked, and the thieves will despise it, not to mention that Futai is coming from the west in the starry night, and the main force of the thief army does not know, if it can quickly advance westward and bite the veteran of the thief, it will be effective in one blow."

Qin Yiming is not worried about the combat effectiveness of his army at all, as long as he can pounce on it and surround it, then even if this battle is over, do you still need to think about winning or losing?

Just as the generals were planning for the war, another exciting news came that an official and military camp deployed in Rongyang sent people to expedite 400 miles to report to the thief king for his own use, supporting 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and preparing to besiege Rongyang, an important town in Henan.

"Help me this day, the army quickly packed their bags, marched westward, and suppressed the thieves under Rongyang City!"

The generals of the Ming army, who were originally worried that Wang Ziyong might hear the news and fled westward, were moved at this time and took the initiative to attack Rongyang with tens of thousands of Liukou, while the Ming army stationed in Heyin could move out at the right time to block the way for Liukou to flee north.

"Quickly order Zuo Liangyu, deputy chief soldier of Changping Town, to rush to Mi County as soon as possible, blocking the way for Liukou to flee south, if you let the thieves escape again this time, Hugh blames Ben for being ruthless!"

Lu Xiangsheng got the addition of this elite Beijing battalion of 15,000 people, and his confidence was already very sufficient, and his dependence on Zuo Liangyu's thousands of elites was not so great, not to mention that the temptation to annihilate the king in a war was too great, as long as these two giants were pacified, the situation in Henan could be rapidly improved.

If Zuo Liangyu is not interested, then what awaits him will be the court's questioning, and he will not be able to escape death at that time.

……

"Congratulations to the Generalissimo, Rongyang has surrounded our brothers, and in just one day, the brothers will be able to break the city!"

On the second day of the seventh month, the king of Zijin Liang used it for his own use, supporting 87,000 troops, including 15,000 young and strong, and 2,000 horses.

"Hmph, Zuo Manzi went to Xihua, Lu Xiangsheng is still in Guide, and now in Henan Mansion, there is no military horse that can stop a certain military horse from seizing the important town of Rongyang, hahaha~!"

When Wang Ziyong led a large army and arrogantly surrounded Rongyang, he didn't realize that behind him, the main forces of the three imperial courts, plus about 30,000 soldiers mobilized from all over the country, had quickly gathered to Rongyang from the three roads, preparing to annihilate him in one fell swoop under Rongyang City.

Among them, Qin Yiming led 9,000 troops in the north, Lu Xiangsheng led 12,000 people including Shizhu Battalion Ma Xianglin and Tianxiong Army, Zuo Liangyu led Changping Town soldiers and horses and Henan soldiers 5,000 in the south, and 6,000 soldiers from Henan Mansion and Ruzhou quickly went north at the same time, and the soldiers pointed directly at Rongyang, a big battle, about to break out!
