After the Mongolian army retreated, the Jin army mobilized troops and horses to counterattack the Red Jacket Army, and its main force was 3,000 elite cavalry called the Flower Hat Army, led by Wan Yan Ting. But even if the rest of the men and horses are pieced together, they are still regular armies, and their combat power is stronger than that of the Red Jacket Army. And the total number of troops that can maneuver is almost what Soft Sister said, about 20,000, or even less than 20,000.

In addition to the gap between the regular army and the rebellious peasants, the cavalry of the Jin army was much stronger than that of the Red Jacket Army, which was often the key to the victory or defeat of the war at that time.

Therefore, the Red Jacket Army is defeated, even if Meng Jiucheng goes to help, in the complex composition of the rebel army, it will not play a role in turning things around in the short term. Moreover, the defeat of the Red Jacket Army is not necessarily a bad thing for Meng Jiucheng.

As the "Jin History" said: "Since the defeat of Yang An'er and Liu Erzu, the place is dilapidated, and the party is often united by each other. ”

After the fiasco, the large Red Jacket Army led by Yang An'er and Liu Erzu did not die out, and its remnants spread all over the place and continued to fight. Not only did they continue to fight, but the Red Jacket Army also learned to be smart, trying not to fight hard with the main force of the Jin Army, but it dragged the Jin Army to exhaust it.

From the analysis of the Jin army, a large number of the Red Jacket Army was defeated and scattered, and a large area was reoccupied and controlled, which also meant that the already small Jin army had to be dispersed and stationed to defend the place. This is undoubtedly the division of troops, giving the opponent the possibility of breaking through one by one.

The so-called big waves wash the sand. The first ** of the Red Jacket Army, which fell into a trough again, will undoubtedly play a role in purifying. Therefore, a considerable part of the Red Jacket Army with complex composition will reduce its gold, some will continue to resist gold, and some will become thieves and robbers.

Without such ups and downs, gold is mixed with sand and sludge, how can you tell the difference, and how can Meng Jiucheng dare to absorb and accept it lightly?

From the Red Jacket Army to Liu Wenzheng and Zhou Gui, mainly Zhou Gui, this opportunist mixed in the tide of rebellion, Meng Jiucheng has seen through his internal organs, and has long listed him as a target.

Now, Wednesday's men and horses have also expanded, but as the soft girl said, the rabble can only rout and flee in the face of stone mines and pine cannons. In order to recruit troops and maintain the troops, the Gui levied on Wednesday and extorted violently, and the taxes were close to the time when the Jin people ruled, and the people's discontent in their territory could be described as boiling.

On the other hand, on Meng Jiucheng's side, the new tax policy has been implemented to the letter. The common people benefited, and also took into account part of the interests of the landlords, if they still resisted greedily enough, what awaited them was iron-fisted repression.

The combination of grace and power was also aimed at the start-up government affairs level, and the people who cheated and violated the law were confiscated of their property and belongings, and they were reduced to poverty, and Meng Jiucheng even did not hesitate to kill three people to deter the rest. For those who are serious and effective in execution, Meng Jiucheng rewards money and is not stingy.

Looking at the armed forces, the Logistics Department, the Military Justice Department, the Training Department, and the Intelligence Department have all been divided and organized; although they are still relatively sketchy and their various tasks and functions still need to be improved and improved, the Red Turban Army has already embodied a different appearance from other armies.

As for the soldiers, although the training was diligent and hard, and the military discipline was strict, he and his family benefited from being a soldier alone, and there were ways to deal with the aftermath. Meng Jiucheng also emphasized that rewards and punishments are clear, weal and butter are shared, and he leads by example, and the atmosphere of the army is not comparable to those who just eat food and get paid. The equipment was even more powerful, with more than 20 stone throwers, more than 60 pine cannons, and enough gunpowder to be collected and manufactured to fight two or three major battles.

It can be said that from the external conditions to the internal situation, Meng Jiucheng has full confidence in defeating Zhou Zhougui. Moreover, it has reached the limit of human and financial resources until now. If he doesn't expand outward, and doesn't rob the money and materials of Zhou Gui and others, Meng Jiucheng can only go bankrupt and go bankrupt.

And after helping the people to spring ploughing, the people and horses of each battalion are gathering to the predetermined location one after another, although Meng Jiucheng did not say it, but the soft sister still judged his intentions very smartly.

"Even if it is a rabble, it must be fought as a strong enemy, which is called a fierce lion fighting a rabbit." Meng Jiucheng patted the soil on his hands, looked at the potato orchard where high hopes were placed, turned around and walked out.

"What do you need from today?" The soft girl is both smart and positive, and without waiting for Meng Jiucheng to speak, she took the initiative to provide services.

"Brimstone!" Meng Jiucheng didn't think about it before he spoke: "Every village has the task of collecting, boiling soil nitrate, and burning charcoal, but the source of sulfur is more difficult. ”

The task targets assigned to the villages are not in vain, but are calculated into the taxation to ensure the enthusiasm of the people. Sometimes, Meng Jiucheng really envied and admired the army in later generations, the political work was in place, and the common people were completely free and obligated to support the front, but they were still very enthusiastic.

When will we be able to have that kind of consciousness for the people here? Meng Jiucheng walked to the next stage of his life with hope, a little regret, and full confidence.

…………

The moon gradually rose, and the earth was bathed in a bright and soft silver light, quiet and profound. The breeze swept by, and the leaves swayed with a loud noise, as if whispering to each other.

I don't know what kind of noise startled the bird, flapped its wings a few times, chirped a few times, and then retracted into the nest. All these sounds did not destroy the tranquility of the night, but made the moonlit night seem more peaceful and deep.

In the study of the Zhou Mansion, the lights were bright, and Zhou Gui and his cronies were discussing things.

“…… Xu Ruxian, with a crowd of 100,000, was defeated by the joint attack of Servant San, Servant Scattered and Staying at Home, and Wanyan Falsehood, and retreated for dozens of miles, with more than half of the casualties; Thorn Seven defended the Xin River with an army of 40,000 people, but was broken by the troops who marched upstream from the upper reaches of the Fusan Liujia and suffered heavy losses; The cash army has arrived in Laizhou, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the outcome is unpredictable......"

After listening to the latest news from the inquiry, Wednesday Gui stroked his beard under his chin and didn't seem to be frightened.

The Jin army counterattacked, and the primary target was Yang An'er, who was called the king of the system, but Jin Ting also knew that the strength was insufficient and could not rely entirely on the military to solve the problem. Therefore, the disintegration of differentiation and the inducement of surrender are also a major means.

It can be said that according to the edict issued, as long as the surrender is submitted, the Ginting will accept it, and will also entrust him with an official position. Except for Yang An'er (who made him call Wang Jianzhi) and Geng Ge (the former Jin State Dengzhou Assassin Shi, Kaicheng suburbs welcomed the Red Jacket Army, making Yang An'er's power prosperous), they can all be pardoned.

This news is reassuring for Liu Wenzheng and Wednesday Gui. Even the large force of the Red Jacket Army that occupies the state and seizes the county, kills and loots, and the Golden Ting must also be pardoned, not to mention the rebel Jin armed forces in such a place that is unknown to the outside world.
