Chapter 317: Rebuilding Soldiers and Horses (1)

Li Guo did not follow Jiang Xuan to Bailu Mountain, after getting the news of the retreat of the Qing army, he immediately withdrew to Shaanxi with his troops, and took back the prefectures and counties of Shaanxi.

Ling Jingyang thought that He Zhen was just a grass on the wall. did not pay attention to it, but did not refuse, with thousands of soldiers and horses of He Zhen's department, and Jiang Xuan's large army went south, quickly captured the capital of central and northern Henan, and occupied a large area of land.

occupied many states and counties, but there was not much population, and most of the county towns were dilapidated, which also made Ling Jingyang dare not disperse his forces and attack more areas.

After receiving the order to retreat, the other two armies of the Qing army also quickly retreated together, and the Azig Department pursued the Dashun army, recruiting countless surrenders along the way, and after receiving the retreat order, they retreated smoothly to Datong Mansion with the troops and the looted materials, where they met with Boluo, and the whole army was stationed in Datong Mansion to maintain the offensive against the Chongzhen court.

After receiving the order to retreat, the Aobai Department also retreated north with the troops, and the Dashun army had entered the jurisdiction of Zuo Liangyu at this time, and confronted Zuo Liangyu's troops.

After Li Zicheng got the information about the retreat of the Qing army, it was too late to pursue, but Li Zicheng did not blindly fight with Zuo Liangyu, so Liu Zongmin led his troops to follow the Qing army and also recovered some lost territory.

Of the three main forces of the Qing army, only the Jierharang division was pursued by the Ming army on the way to retreat, and the troops pursuing him were the vanguard troops of Huang Degong and Zheng Chenggong.

The two armies pursued relentlessly, especially Zheng Chenggong's vanguard troops, which were well-armed and well-equipped, and pursued and killed all the way.

If it weren't for the fact that Zilharang was also a famous general, he blocked while retreating, and finally repelled Zheng Chenggong's troops on the Shandong Peninsula and barely held the Shandong defense line.

The Qing army retreated suddenly, leaving a huge power vacuum in the Central Plains, and the Chongzhen court, Hongguang court, and Dashun army frantically seized important places in Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Huguang, Shandong and other places to grab more resources.

After Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao occupied the north-central part of Shanxi and some parts of Henan, they did not continue to move south, and the two led their troops to withdraw to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, and Zhu Youzhen also withdrew to Shanxi with others.

In Taiyuan City, Zhu Youzhen led the civil and military hundreds

The official worships heaven and earth and the ancestors, Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao are separated on both sides, looking at Zhu Youzhen worshipping, Jiang Huang is full of thoughts about how to consolidate the defense of Taiyuan Mansion, after all, tens of thousands of Qing troops in Azig are still in Datong Mansion, and they can go south to attack Taiyuan Mansion at any time.

Ling Jingyang was different from him, he was thinking about how to recover the troops as soon as possible, and the Henan Campaign lost the Central Corps and the Murong Slaughter Department.

There were hundreds of people left in the Niu Guangtian Division, and they urgently needed to rebuild the ministries, and just when Ling Jingyang decided to reorganize the ministries, a message suddenly came, which made him report it.

The night before yesterday, Dong Daqi took the troops to say goodbye, and the whole army went to Shaanxi to defect to the Dashun Army, Dong Daqi's department was the army of the reserve corps second only to Zhang Luofu's headquarters of soldiers and horses, and his departure not only made Ling Jingyang lose a general, but also took away more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, making the reserve corps collapse by half.

In order to prevent more troops from breaking away from the organization, Ling Jingyang retreated to Fenzhou with all the troops under his command and reorganized in Fenzhou.

Before the reorganization of the troops, Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao reached an agreement, Ling Jingyang led Fenzhou, Pingyang Prefecture, Qinzhou, as well as Huaiqing Prefecture and Henan Prefecture in Henan, Jiang Jiu occupied other areas of Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi Province and the eastern region of Henan, and Gao Jie's troops were stationed in Ruzhou.

After the three families determined their jurisdictions, Ling Jingyang's influence expanded to three prefectures and two prefectures, and he sent troops and officials to these five places, and the army recruited displaced people to join the army in the local area, so as to strengthen the defense force and prevent the resurgence of new rogues.

There are many Ming civil and military officials who have defected from all over the country, and they have been reused again, and the officials below the fifth grade have been assigned by Ling Jingyang to serve as officials in various counties, trying to restore order in the areas that have been invaded by the war, and there are still no officials above the fifth grade, which makes Ling Jingyang worry-free, at least he does not have to waste energy to intrigue with these officials.

Before the local officials went to the local office, Ling Jingyang strictly ordered not to clash with other forces, especially the Dashun army, if the Dashun army invaded the jurisdiction, it was not allowed to fight, and quickly reported to the imperial court, withdrew to a safe area, and waited for the next instructions.

After stabilizing the order in various places, Ling Jingyang began to reorganize the army, first of all, the formation of the five military governors, and the Ming five military governors, the Ming five military governors are the Chinese military governor's office, the left army governor's office, the right army governor's office, the former army governor's office, and the rear army governor's office.

Ling Jingyang put this

The five governors became one of the five military governors headed by him.

Ling Jingyang is the governor of the five armies, and he needs to find a few deputies for himself, appoint Wang Mu as the right governor, and Mi Shengguang as the governor, and the two are full-time local order, and the military power is transferred from the military department to the governor's office.

The first step of Ling Jingyang's reform was to let Wang Mu select dozens of young and promising officials from among the civil and military officials who came to defect to the imperial court, and enrich them to the Governor's Mansion, and it was impossible to rely on a few people to support the entire Governor's Mansion.

Wang Mu recommended more than 20 middle- and low-level civil and military officials to Ling Jingyang, some of whom used to be county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, and state magistrates.

Ling Jingyang took a look at the information of these people and decided to promote twenty people from among them, and also communicated with each of them face-to-face.

Most of the people are full of thoughts about the death of the king and the idea of governing the country, these officials have been abandoned, and only seven people have a little more brains, and only a little more brains, and the concept of the king's death is not so important, and all seven people have been appointed as the seven products.

There are only seven products in the Governor's Mansion, but this is in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and many people can also see that the generals of the whole army and more than 1,000 generals must be appointed by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the military department of the imperial court is an ornament, to some extent, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has replaced the military department of the Chongzhen Imperial Court.

After the resurrection of the Chongzhen court, the six ministries were not restored at all, and there were only Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen in the court, and the other officials either went to the local area, or served in Ling Jingyang and Jiang Jingyang's army.

The seven people who stayed behind were pinned on by Ling Jingyang, and gave them the task of tuntian, military status and promotion of generals, but they did not have the right to lead troops, and the soldiers and horses of each department were still led by the commanders.

Wang Mu asked Ling Jingyang where to set up the Governor's Mansion, Ling Jingyang thought about it, Fenzhou and Qinzhou are too small, Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, Henan Mansion is a horse Pingchuan, not suitable for defense.

Only Pingyang Mansion is higher and suitable for defense, to the east is Lu'an Prefecture and Zezhou, which can resist the Qing army's attack, to the north is Taiyuan Mansion and Fenzhou, with Jiang Hao on the north side, and to the west is Shaanxi, the territory of the Dashun army.
