The so-called once the power was in hand, the order was carried out, and it was not easy to get the military power from Kangxi, and Yinzhen took drastic action. On the one hand, although he had to allow Xinaha to transfer the 20,000 Sichuan Green Battalion to Henan, on the other hand, he secretly expanded the Shaanxi Green Battalion, and this time and again, the strength in his hands was not reduced, but increased to 60,000.
However, although there is no shortage of men who serve as soldiers and eat food in Shaanxi, it is unrealistic to use Guanzhong to support these 60,000 strong men who do not work and the civil and military forces of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.
What the? Isn't Sichuan completely lost, why will there be a civil and military situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces?
That's right, there is indeed a Sichuan provincial government under the rule of the Qing Dynasty in today's Shaanxi.
If nothing else, at least Hua Xian's position as governor of Sichuan has not been revoked, and his temporary office is still co-located with the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi in Xihana. Sichuan Governor Zu Liangbi was promoted to Chengdu general by the Qing court for his meritorious work in slaughtering the people of Hanzhong, of course, because most of the green battalion in central Sichuan was transferred to Luoyang and Hebei, this Chengdu general could only live in the yamen of Xi'an General Baxi to deal with some trivial matters.
However, in any case, the salaries of these Sichuan officials still have to be borne by Shaanxi, so the finances of the western province, which were originally barely maintained by the financial endowments of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, have actually reached the state of bankruptcy. A penny is difficult for a hero, and Yinzhen, who doesn't want to be suffocated by urine when he is alive, can only sacrifice the trick of raising taxes. It is a pity that such a good policy was resisted by Sihana.
Sihana is the governor who used to be a scholar, although Yinzhen is the prince of Brother, he can't let the other party obey his orders, besides, Yinzhi, who is in charge of Shaanxi's civil affairs, also disagrees, after all, he also has to bear the heavy responsibility of relocating the people of Shaanxi to Jin, and he must not add fuel to the fire to force the people of Shaanxi who have a tradition of rebellion to rebel.
Since the tax increase could not be supported by the upper and lower levels, Yinzhen had no choice but to move his brain to the feudal towns of Ganshan.
Yinzhi is very supportive of this, because the relocation of the Shaanxi people also requires money, and this money can only be calculated to let those feudal towns that scrape the ground out, as for whether they will pass on the pressure to the people below, perhaps in the eyes of the two princes, the people under the rule of the feudal towns are already abandoned, and naturally they are not in the scope of their consideration - then again, it seems that the people of Hanzhong are the serious eight hundred Qing Shunmin, but the result seems to be worse, so "I Daqing" loves the people like a son, in fact, it is more like a cold joke, It's just that there are too many people talking about it, and it's taken as some kind of fact that can't be changed??????
So from the end of the 44th year of Kangxi to the spring of the 45th year of Kangxi, messengers from all walks of life were in an endless stream on the Ganshan Road, with the overwhelming strength of 60,000 people and the great achievements of 3,000 people to defeat Ma Bingzhong's department, the princes of Shaanxi and Gansu could only bow their heads and promise to pay taxes to Yinzhen after the summer grain was harvested.
Of course, these princes must be extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, maybe someone will throw themselves into Huaxia because of this, but it will take time to get in touch, and they won't see any changes for a while, but it makes Yinzhen have some kind of illusory illusion.
Calculating the harvest of slaughtering and plundering the people in Hanzhong, Xing'an (Ankang), Shangzhou and other places, Yinzhen, who could still survive until the summer tax was put into storage, wrote to Kangxi and asked Kangxi to rectify the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp in accordance with the new green camp system.
As a result, Kangxi's reply had not yet come, and Yinzhen began to act on his own words.
The green battalion of the new battalion system has 5,900 people per town, and with the military strength that Yinzhen now has, it can be organized into ten towns. However, now there are two governors, two generals, a governor, and a commander in Guanzhong, and these people must be assigned to the superintendent, military, fu, and promotion according to the rules, and Yinzhen is not easy to offend people.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Yin Zhen decided to set up three battalions under the superintendent and military standard, of which the middle battalion is a general battalion of 1,500 people, and the left and right battalions are guerrilla battalions of 1,000 people, so that each governor and general has jurisdiction over 3,500 people, and the four governors and generals have a total of 13,500 people in charge of the green battalion; There are only two battalions respectively, of which the middle battalion is the same as the general battalion, and the front battalion is the guerrilla battalion, so that one raised the standard and one raised the standard is 5,000 people.
After deducting these eighteen thousand five hundred people, Yinzhen still has about 42,000 people, which can be roughly organized into seven new towns. Yinzhen named it Xi'an Town, Fengxiang Town, Tongzhou Town, Qianzhou Town, Pizhou Town, Juzhou Town, and Gongchang Town after some prefectures in Shaanxi and Gansu. As for the appointment of the general soldiers of each town and the deputy generals of each association, Yinzhen still has a trace of clarity and knows that he can not appoint it without authorization, so as soon as the reorganization plan comes out, he will report to Kangxi Shengju. However, Yinzhen also mentioned a few Jianyi, not specific candidates, but such as how many of the best candidates for the general army are in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and how many more are transferred to the new battalion of the green battalion.
The Qing court's reorganization of the Green Battalion was based on the increasing appearance of firearms in the confrontation with the Xia Army and Russia, so it was necessary to establish a force that could adapt to the transformation from cold weapons and semi-firearms to full firearms, but in order to do this, it was necessary to equip the Green Battalion with a large number of artillery, bird guns and other weapons, which was not possible in Ganxi by Yinzhen, who was financially strapped for money, so he also made adjustments that were appropriate to the place.
Out of the psychology of being wary of the generals of the green battalion, Yinzhen gritted his teeth and continued to deploy the long-range Hongyi cannons in the various superintendents, military standards, fu standards, and promotions, but the number of equipment dropped from 15 per team to 5 per team, so that all the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion had a total of 30 long-range artillery pieces with a range of more than half (Qing system). Yinzhen's battalions in each town are equipped with short-range artillery such as older generals' cannons, and the number has reached eight to nine per town.
In addition to a slight reduction in the artillery disposition, the white soldiers in each town were expanded from two to three per (guerrilla) battalion, and the bird guns were reduced from two to one per battalion, and one team of archers was maintained to supplement the shortage of bird guns. As for the horse team, it will be expanded accordingly, not only the pro-army of the middle battalion of the superintendent, the military standard, the Fu standard, the promotion standard, and the town standard are all organized into the horse team, but also the pro-army of the deputy generals of the association is also organized into the horse team, so that the Shaanxi-Gansu green battalion has a total of more than 6,000 cavalry and cavalry infantry, accounting for more than 10% of the total strength.
Yinzhen's reorganization plan was still underway, and the Xia army occupied Luoyang and advanced the troops to the front line of Tongguan.
In order to resist the possible knocking of the Xia army, Yinzhen mobilized the soldiers and horses of Fengxiang and Qianzhou towns to be stationed in Tongguan, and at the same time ordered Jiang Qidu, the governor of Shaanxi, to lead the promotion of the standard, and the town of Pizhou and Xi'an to be stationed in Tongzhou as a backup, and he led the two towns of Yanzhou and Tongzhou to stay in Xi'an as the general reserve, and the remaining governors, military standards, and Fubiao were used to deter other directions.
Although Yinzhen's defense plan was well done and very layered, after the Xia army controlled Shaanxi County, he may not continue to attack.
Of course, this is because of the poor grain road, and there is also a relationship between the Qing army in Hebei Province in Huaiqing, Weihui and other places, but in any case, it made the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, which was originally gearing up and eager to try, punch the air, and the feeling of using the wrong force made it uncomfortable to be depressed from top to bottom. However, no matter how aggrieved he was, Yinzhen was not bold enough to take the initiative to regain Henan, so the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion fell into a long-term confrontation with the Xia Army's Henan camp.
In fact, Yin Zhen, who only knew how to talk on paper, did not expect that after the main force of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was pinned down by the Xia Army, unfavorable news soon came from other directions.
On the second day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Wucheng in Huaxia, the outpost of the Xichuan Army of the Xia Army, which had successively controlled Xing'an and Shangzhou, crossed the Heilongkou and appeared in the southwest of Lantian. Affected by this, Yinzhen had to transfer the two towns of Yanzhou and Tongzhou to Lantian, Huxian, Zhouzhi and other places, thus reducing the support for the Tongguan front.
On July 17 of the eighth year of Wucheng in Huaxia, it seemed that the Qing army had been tied hand and foot by the Xia army, and Wu Hong, the general soldier of Yulin Road and Yulin in the Qing Dynasty, beheaded Yinzhen's envoy who went to urge grain on the grounds that Yinzhen's request violated the holy edict of August 39 of Kangxi on the self-raising of grain and salaries in various towns, and refused to pay the summer grain and summer tax to Yinzhen.
Wu Hong's actions soon aroused the echo of Wang Yingtong, the prefect of Yan'an and the deputy general of Yan'an, who then expelled the envoys from Yinzhen and declared that he would not lose or pay tribute to Guanzhong. However, Yan'an Town only had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and its self-protection was somewhat insufficient, so Wang Yingtong quickly sent people to contact Wu Hong, and in the face of the common enemy, the two unanimously decided to join forces, so Yulin Town quickly sent 3,000 troops into Yan'an to assist Wang Yingtong in resisting possible crusade from Guanzhong.
The actions of the two feudatories naturally aroused Yinzhen's anger, and in order to avoid a chain reaction, Yinzhen decided to suppress it as soon as possible. So he sent Zhao Hongxie, who had just been appointed as the chief soldier of Xi'an Town, to send troops to Yan'an. Although Zhao Hongxie quickly advanced to the city of Yan'an and blocked the soldiers and horses of the two towns in the city, in this way, the original embarrassing financial resources of Shaanxi and Gansu were even more scarce, and it inevitably weakened the defense of Tongguan again.
At this time, Yinzhi also saw that Ganxi was no longer defensible, so he resorted to the trick of the golden cicada to get out of the shell, and crossed the Yellow River from Hejin into Shanxi under the pretext of personally escorting the displaced people in northern Shaanxi. Since then, Yinzhi has been staying in Jiangzhou, Shanxi, and only relied on some messengers to remotely control and deal with Shaanxi's civil affairs.
Zu Liangbi, the grandson of the escape expert and "Flying General" Zu Dashou, also felt that Shaanxi was in danger, so he decided to wave his ancestral kung fu, say goodbye, and lead his military standard to follow Yinzhi's footsteps and retreat into Shanxi - of course, the Qing court was not a Ming court with extremely poor organization and decisiveness, so Zu Liangbi also prepared an excuse in advance, and he asked Kangxi to go to Hebei to command the green camp of Sichuan Province under Yinzhi as a general in Chengdu.
After the question book was sent to Beijing urgently, Zu Liangbi led his troops eastward without waiting for a reply, and crossed the Yellow River before Yinzhen understood.
Yinzhen, who was angry when he heard the news, immediately participated in Zu Liangbi's book, but Kangxi decided to deal with the matter strictly in order to boost the morale of the Eight Banners, so Zu Liangbi fled to Jinzhou, and was dismissed and arrested, and then sent to Beijing to be beheaded, and ended up with a tragic end.
Yin Zhen finally let out a bad breath, but this did not help to change the situation he was in, and even in the near future, a bigger crisis would hit him??????
