Compared with the mud, Shen Yikui's fame is much greater, when the former trilateral governor Yang He recruited all kinds of rogues, Shen Yikui's power was the most powerful, so Yang He specially summoned Shen Yikui, and also read the edict in front of Shen Yikui, pardoned Shen Yikui, and was named the garrison of Qingjian County, responsible for garrisoning Qingjian County, and there is another point, that is, Shen Yikui took the initiative to surrender, and its main force did not suffer much loss, plus Yang He, who advocated appeasement at that time, sympathized with Liukou in his heart, and did not split the power of Shen Yikui, The director was able to take most of his subordinates to Qingjian County to take office.
Among Shen Yikui's subordinates, the most restless are Zhang Mengjin and Huang Youcai, this time Shen Yikui rebelled, and these two people instigated and even hijacked, after all, when rebelling, although the head was pinned to the waistband of the trousers, but the fragrant and spicy ones could capture the city, or take the ancestral homes of the gentry and wealthy families, they would be able to have a huge harvest, and they would not be subject to much moderation, but after surrendering to the imperial court, it was different, they had to be served, and there was not much food and salary on weekdays, how could these people endure it.
So in less than half a year, Shen Yikui rebelled again, although he was hijacked by his subordinates, but Shen Yikui himself was also willing, he was born in a rogue, although he surrendered to the imperial court, but he was not recognized, and he couldn't raise his head in front of the officials, such days were unbearable.
Shen Yikui's rebellion, in Yan'an Mansion and even Shaanxi has a great impact, after the government got the news, quickly reported to the imperial court and the trilateral governor Yang He, it is precisely because of Shen Yikui's rebellion, Yang He was overshadowed, was removed from the post of trilateral governor, and the fierce Hong Chengchou took over the post of trilateral governor.
Although Yang He did not serve as the governor of the three sides, before he left office, he did one thing that was very beneficial to Hong Chengchou, that is, he begged the imperial court to transfer Cao Wenzhao from Liaodong, Cao Wenzhao was originally an officer of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and was ordered to come to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, and came with 1,500 Guanning Iron Cavalry, and was appointed by the imperial court as the deputy chief soldier of Yansui East Road, following the bandits.
The arrival of Cao Wenzhao did not attract the attention of many rogues for the time being, after all, there were only 1,500 people, but they soon knew that Cao Wenzhao was about to become their nightmare, and the strength of the Guanning Iron Cavalry was not boasted, you must know that they were cavalrymen who could fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars.
Zheng Xunrui made the decision to exterminate Shen Yikui, which made Ma Zhukui and others very surprised, especially Liu Shijie, the prefect of Zhixian County, when the prefect asked the county government to garrison the number of sergeants of the yamen, he thought that the prefect would lead the sergeants guarding the yamen to suppress the bandits, which was absolutely not good, once these sergeants left the county, Shen Yikui would attack the government in the shortest possible time, and the consequences would be strict, not to mention that the sergeants guarding the yamen were not Shen Yikui's opponents.
Knowing that the prefect was on the way to the mansion, he cleanly exterminated the mud and killed the mud himself, their first feeling was that they didn't believe it, but it was impossible for the prefect to joke about such a big thing, and this was not something they dared to say casually, so their attention quickly shifted to the army brought by the prefect.
"The government and the county government are handled in accordance with the original rules, and after a while, the arsenal will be opened, and the sergeants brought by the official must strengthen their equipment, so that they can cleanly and neatly exterminate the gods."
Ma Zhukui and Sun Qimeng and others saw the army, and the momentum was by no means ordinary, but the number of people did not seem to be very large, it should be less than a thousand, but they had never seen a war horse, this kind of war horse was taller and more beautiful than the Mongolian horse, and it looked more powerful.
After all, there are 2,000 people led by Shen Yikui, which is not necessarily the exact number, maybe more.
After thinking about it, Ma Zhukui cautiously spoke.
"My lord, there are a large number of rogues under the command of Shen Yikui, do you wait for Lord Hong's army to arrive, and then go to exterminate them together, Xia Guan thinks this is more guaranteed."
In the final analysis, Ma Zhukui still didn't believe that Bu Dip was completely defeated, maybe the prefect happened to catch Bu Dip and kill Bud, but the rogues under Bu Dip may have scattered and fled. As for the fact that when I entered the city, I saw so many carriages, it is estimated that the prefect knew that the conditions in Yan'an Mansion were difficult, and he brought a lot of luggage.
"Lord Ma, if the county town of Ansai is attacked by Shen Yikui, what do you think this official should do, whether to close the city gate and ignore it, or continue to play a game for the court."
Ma Zhukui quickly lowered his head, I don't know why, although this prefect is very young, but the temperament he shows is indeed different, which makes people have to be in awe, and he is the champion of the palace test, where is the knowledge that ordinary people can compare.
Liu Shijie, who had never spoken, spoke.
"My lord, there are only six hundred sergeants in the county yamen, and these soldiers can stick to the city, but if they attack Shenyikui, they are a little reluctant, and if all the sergeants guarding the yamen leave, the city will be in danger."
"This official just said that every qiē will be handled in accordance with the previous rules, and the sergeants who garrison the yamen will do whatever they should do, and this time they will not need to go to the battlefield to fight."
The inventory of the government armory is much richer, three-eyed guns, fire guns, bird guns, etc., all of them, and there is a Furlong machine and a tiger squat cannon, generally speaking, the Furlong machine and the tiger squat cannon are only the army's artillery, but the situation in Yan'an Mansion is different, over the years it has been attacked by the rogues, and the firearms in the armory are naturally more.
Except for the tiger squat cannon and the Furlong machine, the rest of the things, Zheng Xunrui can't look down on at all, those three-eyed guns, fire guns and bird guns, all rely on the fire rope to be able to launch, if it rains, it is completely waste, and the time to reload ammunition is also a little long, unless the opponent is waiting for you to launch, otherwise the cavalry will charge quickly, you can only wait for death or scatter and escape.
What's more critical is that the effective range of the three-eyed guns, fire guns, and bird guns are all about 150 meters away, and such a short distance is basically impossible to effectively block the cavalry attack, let's just say that the Arabian war horse, when charging at high speed, the distance of 150 meters, as long as it is just ten seconds, after one launch, there is no time to fill the ammunition for the second time.
Ma Zhukui and others, who followed Zheng Xunrui's side, thought that Zheng Xunrui would carry the Fran machine and the tiger squat cannon, after all, the power of the artillery is still huge, and it can give Shen Yikui a huge blow, who wants Zheng Xunrui to look at these things.
Yang He and others chose three things, one is cotton armor, last time in Mizhi County equipped with three hundred pairs, but not fully equipped, this time can be equipped with all of them, the second is bows and arrows, the more these things, the better, the cavalry can not do without bows and arrows, and fire more bows and arrows, give the other party the greatest damage, minimize their own casualties, the third is the long-handled eyebrow knife, the long-handled eyebrow knife is much lighter than the spear, and it is much easier to carry, the eight hundred nursing homes do not need everyone to be equipped with spears, so fighting on the battlefield is extremely energy-consuming, There is no need for that.
Zheng Xunrui, who was about to lead the nursing home to go out in person, also chose a pair of cotton armor.
Yang He beside him reminded that the young master should be equipped with chain mail, which is the armor equipped by generals and cavalrymen with unusual status, Zheng Xunrui shook his head with a smile, chain mail is not as good as cotton armor, this is a theory that has been completely proved by later generations, but the chain mail looks more powerful and the cost is much higher, Zheng Xunrui will not go to catch up with such fashion.
The government guards the yamen.
All the nursing homes were ready, equipped with cotton armor, prepared with bows and arrows, and five hundred of them were replaced with long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, and they were also equipped with wild goose feather knives.
The continuous fighting, the test of the nursing home is severe, but Zheng Xunrui already has enough self-confidence, he knows very well that the eight hundred nursing homes, after nearly three years of training, after nearly three years of training, have experienced the fight in Mizhi County, has become the most powerful army, although the number is not large, but in the face of the Liukou is an absolute advantage, after the extermination of the god Yikui, he is going to write a memo to the imperial court, while reporting the battle situation, I implore the imperial court to let Yan'an Mansion have the power to command the army to exterminate the Liukou, and the military salary does not need to be supplied by the imperial court, The local area is self-sufficient, and as for the name of this army, he has already thought of it, so he named it Zheng Jiajun.
There is a precedent in the imperial court, and the famous Qi family army fought against the Japanese and the soul of the wolf.
Zheng Jiajun is the same, not only to let the soul of the Liukou fly away, but also to let the Houjin Tartar disappear.
As for the matter of self-raising military salaries, this is also to be able to get the approval of the imperial court, in fact, relying on the imperial court has no effect, the imperial court has no money at all now, so many troops cannot be guaranteed, let alone the army that has just been formed.
Zheng Xunrui remembers very well that when Sun Chuanting came back in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he tried to find a way to raise military salaries, and did not want the imperial court to allocate military salaries, which was approved by the emperor.
Of course, he would not forget it, and wrote a letter to his mentor Xu Guangqi in advance, informing him of his demands, as long as he got Xu Guangqi's support and established the Zheng Jiajun, there would be no problem.
Eight hundred nursing homes, the number of people is indeed a little less, and there are four seriously injured nursing homes, who are recuperating in Mizhi County, these people can't lose too much, otherwise Zheng Xunrui can't bear it, these people are the tinder, the spark for the development and growth of the Zheng family, and the future officers of the Zheng family's army.
After the extermination of Shen Yikui, Zheng Xunrui's main task is to expand the army, he must adopt the strategy of the first army, only by using the army, the rogue is scared, and does not dare to enter the Fuzhou County under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, so that there is room for development, and only then can the people really recuperate, otherwise it is empty talk.
