Chapter 416: The Year of Murder
Before they got to the camp, Zhang Fuzhen and the others felt an obvious difference, the camp of the Yongan Army was clearly distinguished, the center was Xiao Yi's marshal's tent, the rear was the camp of the firearms battalion and the car artillery battalion, and the surrounding was the camp of the five battalions.

Walking into the camp of the Yong'an Army, He Renlong saw some soldiers in helmets and armor gathered together, constantly applauding inside, Zhang Fuzhen naturally didn't see it because of his face.
But He Renlong was different, after asking a team of patrolling Yong'an soldiers, he heard that a battalion was wrestling, and he couldn't wait to squeeze in and look at it with interest, and applauded even more when he got up.
Zhang Fuzhen and the others continued to walk towards Xiao Yi's tent, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers on the left, and everyone looked over in surprise, but saw that it was the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who were practicing.
Under the banner of the eagle flying high, the sergeants of the second battalion lined up in a neat phalanx, practicing one move and one style, and every time they waved the swords and guns in their hands, there was a collective roar.
Before arriving at Xiao Yi's tent, Zhang Fuzhen and the others passed through the camps of the third, fourth, and fifth battalions in turn, and everyone felt ashamed of themselves, compared to the camp they had set up.
The camp of the Yong'an Army is like a precision rotating machine, even if you can't see the generals in the camp, you can still run as usual, and the most you see in the camp is the dense patrol soldiers, as well as those soldiers who are training.
The rest of the rest of the soldiers who were resting were not idle, either gathered around to watch the wrestling, or sat in their tents, carefully wiping their armor and swords.
The cold light flashing in his eyes made You Shilu and other generals behind Zhang Fuzhen shocked and frightened.
Walking in front of Xiao Yi's handsome tent, Zhang Fuzhen actually breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but it was not easy to walk in these short few hundred steps, and within these few hundred steps, You Shiqi and others all had a new definition of Xiao Yi.
Looking at the two meticulous Yong'an Army soldiers guarding outside the tent in front of him, Zhang Fuzhen was about to let him pass, but suddenly remembered that he was the overseer, and Xiao Yi was just a chief soldier, why did he need to pass it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fuzhen pretended to be tough and stepped into the big tent.
There are not many people in the tent, compared to the number of generals under the other general soldiers, it is indeed very small, only ten people, but these ten people have a very deep impression on You Shilu and others.
They were all tigers and bears, and they also turned around to give You Shiqi and the others a sense of oppression, and the person in the front was wearing silver and white iron armor, standing in front of the generals.
"Lord Governor!"
Suddenly, this person turned around, walked in front of Zhang Fuzhen, You Shiqi and others in a few steps, and hugged his fists with a smile.
"The Governor has finally arrived, Xiao is in a hurry, let's not talk much, Liu Sheng!" After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he looked at one person.
Liu Sheng nodded, and first hugged his fist at Zhang Fuzhen and the others, and then pointed to the sand table, and said: "Dashuai, according to the brother sentry of the last general's flying cavalry battalion, the thieves fled in all directions, only a small part fled to Jiaocheng, and most of the rest of the thieves are still looting everywhere. ”
Xiao Yi nodded and sneered: "That being the case, I can't do without these military exploits in vain. ”
When the generals heard this, they all laughed.
Zhang Fuzhen had just entered the account, and before he could react, he originally thought that Xiao Yi should be a middle-aged general with five big and three thick, but he never thought that he would be so young.
Xiao Yi was even more caught off guard by this act, but Zhang Fuzhen knew the priority of the matter and suppressed countless doubts in his heart.
It was only in an instant that he returned to his usual calm style, walked slowly to the sand table, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly asked.
"Xiao Yi, what is this? It can show the battlefield terrain so clearly. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yi laughed and said, "I have been using this thing in the Yongan Army for many years, and they all call it 'sand table'. ”
"Sand table..."
Zhang Fuzhen muttered a few words, his eyes lit up, this is really a good thing.
When Xiao Yi was discussing with Zhang Fuzhen, one person lifted the curtain and entered the account, it was the He Ren Longhe madman who had just returned from wrestling in the camp, and he was about to roar when he entered the account, but was dragged aside by You Shilu, who was quick-eyed.
"What are you pulling me to do, which one is Xiao Yi, I Lao He will definitely make friends!"
You Shilu pointed at Xiao Yi beside Zhang Fuzhen, his eyes were still a little surprised, "That's the Xiao Yi you are looking for." ”
He Renlong wiped his eyes and looked at You Shilu suspiciously: "Are you deceiving me, how can Xiao Yi be so young?" ”
You Shilu spread his hands, and also sighed: "That's right, I didn't expect that Xiao Yi, the world-famous commander of the Yong'an Army, would be so young, thinking that I You Shilu is nearly forty years old, and I am far inferior to a young man in his twenties..."
Although He Renlong was a little crazy, he was not stupid, and when he saw the respectful appearance of those stout and unscrupulous Yongan generals in front of Xiao Yi, he was even more jealous of Xiao Yi in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Fuzhen suddenly laughed and said hello three times in a row.
"Xiao Yi, this governor will order you to lead the Yong'an army as a striker, go straight to the thief's nest in Jiaocheng, and wait for you to add new merits, this governor will truthfully show it to the saint and ask for credit for you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi hugged his fists and said, "Obey the order!" ”
Zhang Fuzhen turned his head and said: "You Junmen, eight hundred miles to report to the Beijing Division, Yan Zhenghu is dead, our army has won a great victory!" ”
You Shilu was thinking about things, when he suddenly heard Zhang Fuzhen's words, he was shocked, and after reacting, he quickly hugged his fists and said, "Obey the order, and do it!" ”
Zhang Fuzhen patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If the army in the world is like the Yong'an Army, with strict military discipline, rewards and punishments, and bravery, don't say that it is a thief, even the governor of Jiannu dares to lead the army to pacify." ”
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, noncommittal.
......
In the following months, Xiao Yi led the Yong'an army and the troops led by Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of the three provinces, He Renlong, You Shilu and other troops, and waved their troops to attack Jiaocheng.
As the vanguard of the whole army, the Yong'an Army shouted to kill the thieves in every battle, and bravely rushed to kill.
Under the influence of the Yong'an Army, the rest of the officers and troops such as He Renlong, You Shilu and other troops were also in high morale, and for the first time, there was no rout.
Since the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of the three provinces of the Ming Dynasty, led the official army to fight six battles with the thieves in the Yangqu territory, all of which were victorious.
The official army was like a bamboo, and successively recovered Jiaocheng, Yangshui, Dongjia Village, Qianhu City, and other places where the thieves were entrenched, and since the Yongan Army captured and beheaded Yan Zhenghu's old thief, they killed 18 thieves in various places such as Yizhuoshi, Wuyue Mountain, and Red Wolf.
The prestige of the officers and soldiers was great, and the Yongan Army was mighty in Shanxi.
During this period of time, although the other two roads won and lost, they were also victorious on the whole with Cao Wenzhao's leadership, and they soon approached Yueyang.
It was at this time when the situation was very good that the chaos broke out.
In April of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Shanxi gave Wu Gan to the middle of the matter, and asked Su to help.
"Since August last year, there has been no rain in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the land has been red for thousands of miles, and the people are hungry and cannibalistic. The people are hungry and chaotic, and the generals in various places kill many good people and take risks. The people of the counties in Zhongzhou are more afraid of officers and soldiers than 'thieves.'"
The seventh year of Chongzhen is a fierce year, and all parts of Shanxi have not only been in drought for many years, but also have no crops to harvest.
At the beginning of this year, there were continuous outbreaks of various mosquitoes and plagues, and the officers and troops in various places were sluggish and did not fight, and the army was sluggish, lacking good merit and greed to kill the good and take the lead, and the people were even more afraid, and they joined the peasant army one after another.
Although the peasant army was defeated, its number did not decrease but increased, and even exceeded the official army for encirclement and suppression.
No matter what the Yong'an Army admonishes on the west side, the Yong'an Army can only take care of one in the end.
At the end of February, the peasant army broke through the encirclement of the officers and troops, entered the southern border of Henan, captured Nanyang, and divided the army into several routes.
Lao Huihui and other five battalions of the left side of the revolution attacked Huguang, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others fled into Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, Zijinliang and others led their troops to Xinyang, and the officers and soldiers were exhausted.
At the beginning of March, Zhang Xianzhong and Zijin Liang fell into Xinyang, and then joined forces with Li Zicheng to capture Chengcheng and approached Pingliang and other prefectures and counties.
On March 28, Zhang Xianzhong and other 13 battalions of volunteers marched out of Wuguan from Henan and Shangluoxi to enter Hannan.
At the beginning of April, the 5th Battalion of Lao Hui and other revolutionaries also returned from Sichuan to Shaanxi and joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong and other 13 battalions.
