The news of the defeat of the guard station spread throughout Xi'an Province with the rout. It didn't take long for someone to discover this Kyoto temple, as well as the wooden planks.

There is no shortage of people who are surprised, and more people are secretly applauding, who doesn't know the tragedy in Qingxi Village, these soldiers and thieves who disregard people's lives are innocent!

As for the Salvation Army, which carried out a perfect ambush, no one knows where they went in the end, only that they went to the northwest of Baishui County, but no one knows where they went.

Jingguan was finally cleaned up by the people of the government, and keeping such a thing is completely a slap in the face of the government. Not to mention what is written on the wooden board, everyone who knows it feels that the face is hot and hot, only the cheeky officials still maintain their own calmness.

The Salvation Army is gone, but at this moment there is no way for the state to send new guards to destroy them. If you want to exterminate them, you have to ask for help from the guards of other states, and the process is long. As for the Tongzhou Guard, which was supposed to have tens of thousands of people, how could it send out more than 1,000 people, and where the rest went, these things were selectively forgotten. The unspoken rules, it's good to know, there's no need to be high-profile, it's not good for anyone.

The Salvation Army disappeared from people's eyes, but was inspired by the Salvation Army, and forces everywhere began to move.

They originally had an agreement with Shura, the general of the Salvation Army, to revolt after the autumn. It's just that this year, seeing that the wind and rain are not bad, coupled with the tax exemption for one year, I already feel that the uprising is hopeless, and I almost forgot this agreement.

Who would have thought that in August, the new emperor ascended the throne but there was a drama of chasing taxes. Fortunately, they all felt that now was the time for a godsend to rebel.

Of course, no one will be the first to do so, or everyone will be waiting for the Salvation Army to appear.

When they arrived, the Salvation Army defeated Whitewater County, and its reputation was completely on fire. In less than ten days, hundreds of people successfully attacked nearly 1,000 guards who came to pursue them at night. When I came back and talked to the leader, I listened to it even more enthusiastically. So the rest is simple, the Salvation Army has provided weapons, and the first shot has been fired, so the rest of them will naturally have to participate.

Rebel forces began to appear in various places one after another, and thieves such as the Chaojiang Dragon, the Mountain Tiger, the Sweeping King, and the Hengtian King raised the banner to openly rebel. Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Lao Huihui, Gao Yingxiang and others in northern Shaanxi also raised the anti-flag at the same time. The uprising team began to grow in Shaanxi, absorbing and even coercing the people, and began their respective great cause of hegemony.

For the time being, Wang Jiayin and other later famous rebel armies were limited to northern Shaanxi for the time being. Probably to respect the Salvation Army in southern Shaanxi, so there is no intention of going south. Besides, at the initial stage, there are too many places for them to loot, and there is no need to go south for the time being.

However, the thieves in southern Shaanxi, especially in Xi'an, began to attack the southern Shaanxi region. Regardless of whether the village wants to revolt or not, they will be coerced, and they are all a group of outright anti-thieves, a group of anti-thieves who have just asked for restraint. Such people, the first time is not to think about how to establish a prosperous dynasty in the future, but to take revenge on the society that has oppressed them for so long!

In the blink of an eye, because of the appearance of the Salvation Army, ordinary people who began to have a trace of illusion about the righteous army are now afraid of the so-called righteous army.

Perhaps, everyone can recognize the Salvation Army, but they can't recognize the anti-thieves who persecuted them like the Ming soldiers.

Interestingly, all the thieves consciously avoided Whitewater County. Maybe this is a holy place for them who are thieves, so they don't want to defile it. Or they know that this is the territory drawn by the Salvation Army, so they don't dare to infringe on half a point. There are money and food beauties everywhere, and there is no need to contradict the Salvation Army for the sake of a county. You know, the Salvation Army is a fierce army that has completely wiped out nearly a thousand soldiers!

In addition, many of the rebels' weapons originally came from the Salvation Army, and if they wanted to get more weapons, they had to pay attention to the attitude and face of the Salvation Army.

The entire Baishui County has now become an oasis in the midst of war and the last place of hope for the people. All of a sudden, refugees from all over the country poured in, and Baishui County, which originally had a population of more than 100,000, has now increased to more than 500,000! Fortunately, the refugee troops, about 200,000 people, after staying for three days, headed northwest and, like the Salvation Army, disappeared from people's eyes.

The remaining 300,000 yuan, under the settlement of Ma Yu, the county magistrate of Baishui County, went to various villages to open up wasteland and farm, and finally settled down.

The whole of Shaanxi became a pot of porridge, and the documents asking for help were sent to Chongzhen's imperial case one after another. Of course, there is occasional news of meritorious service, but attached is the twist and turn of asking for salary, and because of these guards, there has been no salary for a while.

"Bastard, damn Troubled Army, damn redemption!" Chongzhen angrily threw the pen to the ground, and it suddenly shattered into a ball.

The Salvation Army is here in the imperial court, so naturally it can't use its real name, after all, this name is too righteous. Therefore, the official title is the army of troubled times.

"The emperor is angry, and the top priority is to decide whether to suppress or appease!" The first assistant Li Guo immediately admonished.

"It's all the other way around, what else is there to appease?" Chongzhen roared.

"No, now the gangsters are just plundering the township, at least there is no news of the fall of any state or county. Even the original Troubled Army, which occupied Baishui County, was recaptured. In the end, the Liukou are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why they are against it is because of the villain's trouble, misleading the emperor to give Shaanxi more endowments, and the people are miserable, so they have to rebel. If they were appeased and exempted from taxes for two years, most of the thieves would inevitably return to the fields. "Li Guo is not the Donglin Party, it just so happens that he feels that the Donglin Party is getting stronger and stronger, so he just took the opportunity to suppress it.

"No, the anti-thieves are extremely vicious, killing my Ming soldiers and destroying my Ming villages, they are heinous criminals, how can they be appeased!?" The second assistant is from the Donglin Party, so naturally he has to support the bandits.

"Dare to ask, if we want to suppress bandits, how many soldiers do we need to dispatch, what is the salary of the soldiers, and how much is the grain and grass? Let's not talk about the emptiness of the treasury now, but only the combat effectiveness of the local guard station, can we still believe it? Li Guo immediately retorted.

"So what do you say you should do? What if those thieves accept appeasement on the surface, but in fact they still loot the township? Jifu immediately pointed out.

"Adopting the conscription system, recruiting an army even if the number of people is small, training it well, and the combat effectiveness is better than that of the local guards. If they accept the appeasement, they will rejoice, and if they do not, the army will be responsible for exterminating the rogues. As for the problem of food and wages, the local government can provide some support. With such a two-pronged approach, the flow can be determined! Li Guo offered his trump card.

"Alright, so be it! As for the money for recruiting new soldiers, 100,000 taels of silver will be paid from the interior, and the rest of the money and food problems will be solved by the local government! By the way, who is better to lead the army? Chongzhen made a decision.

When the two heard this, they were overjoyed. The internal money is the emperor's private money, and the emperor uses his own money, which is the best, and the head of the household department will be happy if he is afraid.

"Yang Hongnai, the counselor of Xi'an Prefecture, is a local who is familiar with the local situation and has certain connections. What is rare is that he himself is also proficient in battle formations and can lead new troops! Li Guo immediately recommended his faction to come out.

"No, Yang Hong is just on the top of the throne based on his resume, and he has no real material. However, in the second year of the Apocalypse, Lu Xiangsheng of Yixing County, Changzhou is a rare civil and military master, and he may lead the new army to exterminate the Liukou! "Where did the second assistant allow Li Guo to continue to be presumptuous, and directly pushed out Lu Xiangsheng, who was cultivated by the Donglin Party.

"Lu Xiangsheng has never experienced a battle formation, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year, too young to be useful!" Li Guo immediately retorted.

"Yang Hong is not much better, he is a little older, he is twenty-nine this year!" Jifu immediately went-for-tat.

"That's enough, and let Yang Hong exterminate the thieves for me!" Probably because of this **, Chongzhen didn't believe in the Donglin Party anymore.

"Yes!" Seeing the emperor's decree, there was no need for the two to continue arguing, and they took the order directly.

The holy decree was soon passed on, and it was not long before it came to Shaanxi.

Yang Hong, who was practicing martial arts at home, soon received the holy decree. At the age of twenty-nine, he seemed to see the hope of being promoted and making a fortune, and joy jumped on his face. It's just that after getting the prefect's military order and asking Zhang Fu to be his deputy general, he immediately pulled his face down.

He knew that Zhang Fu was the nephew of the prefect, and he was a master who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and he said that he was a deputy general, but he was afraid that he was here to mix his resume, hoping to be able to take advantage of the situation to be promoted and make a fortune. The worst thing is that the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and seeing that the money and grain have to rely on the local government to support, Yang Hong has already expected that this Zhang Fu will not let go of the command.

As the main general, I'm afraid that in the end it will only be an ornament......
