Shaanxi, Xi'an.

In order to keep the Great Western Kingdom, before setting out on the expedition, Zhang Xianzhong was even ready to fight a war against the country. After the Northern Expedition really began, the progress of things was completely different from what Zhang Xianzhong expected, and even went in the opposite direction.

Zhang Xianzhong never dreamed that the Great Western Army would successfully take Xi'an, the ancient city of the former capital of the Great Shun Kingdom, in just five days in a hurry.

Until the Great Western Army entered Xi'an, Zhang Xianzhong was still a little confused.

But the hero is the hero.

When he lived in the splendid palace in Xi'an, Zhang Xianzhong finally came to his senses, and he immediately realized that an excellent opportunity was in front of Daxiguo.

The ambition to dominate the world once irrepressibly surged back into my heart.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Zhang Xianzhong sat on the cold dragon chair and thought about it all night, and finally made up his mind. Early the next morning, Zhang Xianzhong ordered that all the 120,000 Western troops left in Xi'an were scattered.

"Occupy the territory!"

Zhang Xianzhong did not shy away from his desire for territory, and directly explained to the generals of the Great Western Army: "Let it go, and bring all the territory that can be obtained into the rule of the Great Western Kingdom." ”

"Yes!"

General Onishi received the order and led his troops to the expedition with a roar.

Zhang Xianzhong sat in Xi'an, and while he was busy pacifying the people, he urgently contacted the country and asked the imperial court to arrange for officials to be stationed in Xi'an to assist him in governing this ancient capital.

He had already planned to move the capital of the Great Western Kingdom to Xi'an.

"The Qing army retreated, and the north was ownerless, and it was the time for the rise of the Great Western Kingdom." Zhang Xianzhong is full of confidence.

…………

Henan, Kaifeng.

Just two days after the Western Route Army "captured" Xi'an, the Middle Route Army also successfully entered Kaifeng.

Li Jing did not lead his troops into the city, but lived in a military camp outside the city. The 60,000 Great Xia forbidden troops led by Evil Lai are like the most loyal guards, firmly guarding the camp tent of the Chinese army.

Night falls.

The tent of the Chinese military camp is still brightly lit, and under the flickering candlelight, it is Li Jing's face that has experienced vicissitudes.

Li Jing ran into a problem.

Since the army entered Henan, the signs of bad things have gradually become apparent.

At the beginning, the officers and men of the Dashun Army and the Southern Ming Army just didn't go out on time, or played scoundrels in the speed of the march, and they didn't dare to really contradict Li Jing, the commander of the coalition army.

As time went on, the sergeants became more and more presumptuous.

Some do not return to camp at night, indulging in the lights and wine of the city; Some of them have unclean hands and feet, accept gifts from the common people, or gentry and wealthy families, and quietly fill their own pockets.

There were even presumptuous officers who took prostitutes directly into the barracks.

Military discipline is lax.

Li Jing took measures at the first time, dispatched the Praetorian Guards to form a law enforcement battalion, and arrested a number of typical people, either whipping, hanging, or directly executing.

We will not tolerate any soldier who does not abide by military regulations, no matter who it is.

As a senior military general, Li Jing is well aware of the importance of military law, and he must not be merciful at this time. Otherwise, if it is allowed to develop, the whole army will collapse without a fight.

Once the army is scattered, it will be difficult to gather it again.

After killing a number of "up-and-coming elements," discipline in the army has indeed improved, and bad signs seem to have been really suppressed.

But Li Jing doesn't think so.

"I'm not convinced!"

In the end, if they were not the soldiers of Great Xia, how could they be willing to be at the mercy of Li Jing.

In particular, the Dashun army has always regarded itself as reinforcements, and they never thought that they were troops under Li Jing. If it's too strict, it might cause a backlash.

If it weren't for the 60,000 Great Xia Forbidden Army, there would have been chaos a long time ago.

The Dashun army was originally a group of peasant rebel army, from generals to small soldiers, who had long been accustomed to the days of burning, killing and looting, and could not withstand the temptation of gold, silver, jewelry, wine and delicacies, and lost the impassioned spirit at the beginning.

is now restrained by Li Jing like this, and he is naturally uncomfortable.

The current barracks are like a huge powder keg, just one fuse is missing, and it will explode at a moment.

Zhang Xianzhong's crazy enclosure in Shaanxi is this fuse. When the generals of the Dashun Army learned that Zhang Xianzhong had "shamelessly" occupied Xi'an, they were completely blown up.

"Bastard, that's our territory!"

The generals of the Dashun army had red eyes, as if they had been seized of the confinement in their hearts, as if they had forgotten that just a few years ago, the Dashun army was still being chased by the Qing army, and they were embarrassed.

With the death of King Li Zicheng, Shaanxi has long had nothing to do with Dashun.

The generals of the Dashun Army don't think so, "It's tolerable, it's unbearable!" At that moment, the generals of the Dashun Army reported the matter to Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing would come forward to mediate the matter.

"Let Zhang Xianzhong get out of Shaanxi!"

Li Jing is only the commander in chief of the army, and this matter involves a turf dispute, how can he mediate as a general?

Besides, the Great Western Army only cooperated with the Northern Expedition of the Southern Ming regime, but it was not his subordinate Li Jing, if Zhang Xianzhong was not happy, he could take Li Jing's letter to wipe his ass.

"Since the big boss can't solve it, then we'll solve it ourselves!"

Like the Great Western Army, peasant rebel armies like the Great Shun Army have always believed in the famous saying that "whoever has the biggest fist will be justified", and since it does not make sense, then the only way to resort is to resort to force.

The Dashun army immediately asked for war, hoping that the army would move to Shaanxi and recover the territory of Dashun.

Of course, Li Jing disagreed. If you really want to magnify the departure of the Shun army, I am afraid that the two groups of people will immediately fight in Shaanxi. In that case, do you want to go on the Northern Expedition?

One wants to go, and the other stays.

On that day, the two sides quarreled in the Chinese military camp, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a time.

In the end, perhaps because of the edge of the Praetorian Guard, the generals of the Dashun Army left the Chinese army camp one by one in a huff. After that, they did not mention it again until the army entered Kaifeng.

Li Jing knew that this matter was definitely not over.

Sure enough, that night, Li Jing got bad news.

By night, 30,000 Dashun troops quietly left the camp and disappeared into the vast wilderness, ignoring military orders. You don't have to think about it to know that they must be heading for Xi'an.

If it weren't for the Praetorian Guards, the entire barracks would have been blown up. When the news was received, there was a commotion in the camp of the Southern Ming Army, which gradually subsided very late.

"Dashuai, do you want the last general to lead his troops to chase them back?" Evil comes to ask.

Under the candlelight, Li Jing's face became more and more blurred, and he was silent for a long time before he shook his head, waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's it, the twisted melon is not sweet, even if they chase it back this time, they will still run away next time." ”

“……”

Evil doesn't know what to do.

The Dashun army is determined to leave, and there is no way to leave enough. Rather than forcibly staying, burying huge hidden dangers, it is better to let them go and think of other ways.

"I'm going to give the king a letter."

Li Jing immediately realized that the Northern Expedition had already caused a big wave.
