Ling Jingyang believed that the Dashun army would not be stupid enough to continue to attack the Ming Dynasty when the Qing army was roaring, and he finally decided to put the Governor's Mansion in the Yicheng of Pingyang Mansion.

Chongzhen's court also went to Yicheng with him, before going to Yicheng, Ling Jingyang made great efforts to reorganize the army, first of all, the Iron Fist Legion, because Fang Xiaoyan was missing, Shi Tie performed prominently in the defense of the mountain behind Bailu Mountain, Ling Jingyang appointed Shi Tie as the commander of the Iron Fist Legion, and the soldiers of the Iron Fist Legion also served Shi Tie's bravery.

The Iron Fist Legion is the elite of the elite, Ling Jingyang ordered Shi Tie to strengthen drills, and ordered Yue Ling to continue to be the commander of the army, but Zhu Fei was transferred from the Iron Fist Legion and served as the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, responsible for the whole army and local contacts.

Because Leng Rutie disappeared and Murong Tu was killed in battle, the Central Army and the left wing troops were devastated.

He reorganized the Central Army with Niu Guangtian's remnants as the team, Niu Guangtian was the commander of the Central Army, and the right to appoint generals above the guerrilla level was vested in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and Niu Guangtian was given 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of grain and grass to gather troops to rebuild the Central Army.

After the rebuilding of the Central Army, Ling Jingyang set out to rebuild the left and right wing troops, respectively by Wang Tiedao, Lao Mantou as the general, the size of the army is 4,000 people, each person per month two taels of silver, forty catties of brown rice, after the frame is built.

Ling Jingyang felt that the left-wing and right-wing troops only needed to bear the surprise force and did not need to be too high-level, so he downgraded the left-wing and right-wing troops to the level of deputy commander-in-chief.

Lao Mantou and Wang Tiedao have no complaints about this, being able to lead the troops is their trust in Dada, as for whether they are commanders or not, both of them feel that it is not important.

The last is the cavalry corps, Ling Jingyang specially summoned all the officers and soldiers of the cavalry corps, and dispersed them all into various troops.

Li Rufeng retired from the front-line general and was assigned the task of supervising the army full-time, he gladly accepted the appointment, and there were more than 400 cavalry under his command, all of which were assigned to various armies.

He asked Ling Jingyang to ask if the Iron Fist Legion wanted to oversee the army, Ling Jingyang thought about it for a while, and decided to take the lead and appoint Li Rufeng to personally supervise the Iron Fist Legion.

Li Rufeng was very grateful for Ling Jingyang's trust, and took office with his trust, and the officers and men of the cavalry corps also scattered into a starry sky and went to each army to serve as a superintendent.

After completing most of the military reconstruction, Ling Jingyang ordered the reserve army to be stationed in Fenzhou, and the other departments went to Yicheng, and the governor's mansion and the soldiers and horses of all departments were in full swing to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.

Wang Mu came to the Governor's Mansion to meet Ling Jingyang the night before the opening, Ling Jingyang was very curious about his arrival, after Wang Mu saw Ling Jingyang, after a few polite words, he said what was in his heart, he asked Ling Jingyang to incorporate He Zhen and his subordinates into the army,

Ling Jingyang was not familiar with He Zhen, Wang Mu introduced He Zhen to him, He Zhen betrayed the Dashun army in Hanzhong Mansion, and attacked Li Guobu after surrendering to the Qing army, after the Qing army retreated, He Zhen did not retreat with him, but returned to the Ming Dynasty with his troops.

From Wang Mu's mouth, Ling Jingyang had a general impression of He Zhen, this person was a general of the Ming army before, and then surrendered to Li Zicheng, and this time he returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Ling Jingyang wanted to say that this person was not credible, but suddenly remembered who this person was, it was one of the thirteen families of the famous Kuidong.

Thinking of the thirteen families resisting the Qing Dynasty, Ling Jingyang had a good impression of this person, and said to Wang Mu: "Our army has reorganized the rear army, and I think He Zhen will serve as the commander of the rear army, Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Mu couldn't ask for it, and in order to win over He Zhen, Ling Jingyang brought Yue Ling and dozens of other personal soldiers to He Zhen's military camp.

After He Zhen surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he has been unpopular, Jiang Hao has developed his strength in northern Henan and southern Shanxi, and he doesn't care about He Zhen's soldiers and horses, and He Zhen doesn't look down on Jiang Zhen, a slave with three surnames, so he took his troops to follow Ling Jingyang.

After all, in his opinion, the resurrection of the Chongzhen Imperial Court was supported by Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao didn't wait to see him, so he followed Ling Jingyang, the governor of the five armies, to Fenzhou.

Listening to the soldier's report that Ling Jingyang came to the barracks with his own soldiers, He Zhen stood up, sorted out the army's appearance, and took his generals to the gate of the barracks to greet Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang saw He Zhen from a distance, a middle-aged man dressed up, and the soldiers on the left and right were also fierce, and at first glance he was a veteran of the perennial war.

“

The governor, the last general did not know that the governor was coming, and he missed the welcome, so he asked the governor to whip him. ”

He Zhen's attitude is very low, who let him change from Daming to Dashun, Dashun to Daqing, Daqing to Daming, in order to show respect, he knelt down on Ling Jingyang's knees, and prayed for Ling Jingyang to accept his effectiveness.

Ling Jingyang hurriedly helped him up, and said kindly: "General He knows the way back, it is my great blessing, and the Governor of Pontus came today to give General He and all the brothers a good future." ”

He Zhen's eyes lit up, he was really afraid that Ling Jingyang didn't want him, if that was the case, he had to take his troops south to join the Hongguang Dynasty, which was far away from Shanxi and Jiangnan, and it was easy to be swallowed up by other forces.

Hearing Ling Jingyang say this today, He Zhen was full of joy and hurriedly invited Ling Jingyang to sit in the barracks.

Everyone entered the barracks, Ling Jingyang looked at the military appearance of He Zhen's troops on the road, most of the soldiers in this army are veterans with many years of military experience, there are Ming army, there are also Dashun army, and some young and strong, the army's combat effectiveness is very good.

He Zhen introduced to him on the road that there were more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, Ling Jingyang heard that the number was so small, frowned, and was a little unhappy, He Zhen was afraid that Ling Jingyang would look down on him, and hurriedly said to Ling Jingyang that some soldiers died in the battle with the Dashun army, and some soldiers heard that they were going to defect to the Ming Dynasty, so they returned to the Dashun army and went to Shaanxi.

This reminded Ling Jingyang of Qin Lie and Huang Daozhong, the two of them were pulled away by the Dashun Army, this tone Ling Jingyang was still holding in his heart, at this time He Zhen came to vote, he had no reason to refuse He Zhen.

"General He, the Dashun army is not an enemy, but also a hero who fought against Jiannu, before Jiannu is defeated, our army should not have a conflict with them, let alone a hostile attitude, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, the last will obey."

Before He Zhen came to Ling Jingyang, he thought that Ling Jingyang was a reckless man, especially afraid that Ling Jingyang would choose to go to war with the Dashun army, but fortunately, Ling Jingyang's words made him feel refreshed.

Everyone walked and chatted, and came to He Zhen's Chinese army, He Zhen invited Ling Jingyang to take a seat, and after Ling Jingyang took a seat, He Zhen introduced the current situation of the troops under his command to him, as well as the lack of food, grass and military salaries in the army, and asked Ling Dudu to relieve him.
