By the second day, the atmosphere in the camp was almost completely different from the previous day.

Chen Wang could obviously feel that the recruits in the camp seemed to have become closer to each other.

Even the spirit and spirit are not comparable to yesterday, and there is a feeling of refreshment.

There is no coincidence in military training, but it is just about training more and practicing diligently.

There is nothing in this world that only needs to train the queue, walk the right step, line up the military formation, and after the recruits who have been trained for less than a few weeks in total, they can kill all sides.

If you're playing against bandits and rogues with very low organization, this might be possible.

But once faced with a regular army or a strong army, those recruits who have been trained for weeks can only be slaughtered.

Although the military training methods of later generations have been summarized and summarized, there are still various analyses and improvements, and they have become much more scientific.

However, no matter how scientific it is, it is impossible to violate the law and train a strong army in a short period of time.

Therefore, in the following seven days, Chen Wangquan let these recruits practice the most basic queues and military formations, and did not teach other things.

For the next seven days, it was the same as the exile militia recruited in Pizhou.

All the captains and lieutenants were elected by ordinary soldiers, and of course it was Chen Wang who finally announced the appointment.

As for the deputy flag chief and the flag chief, they were selected from the recruits originally recruited in Pizhou.

The captain of the Pizhou Soldier is the flag chief, and the deputy of the team is the deputy flag chief.

Officers with a total of 100 and above are temporarily suspended.

This army Chen Wang was ready to hold it firmly in his hands.

From the general manager at the bureau level to the general manager and the general manager at the department level, Chen Wang is ready to appoint his cronies.

Wait until Hu Zhiyi brings people back from Liaodong and appoint him directly.

Anyway, there is no establishment in the new military camp, and there is no one to take the general and the thousand generals to take charge, so there is nothing unreasonable about direct appointment.

Chen Wang was ready to let Hu Zhiyi and Hu Zhili serve as the commanders of the new military camp, and the last battalion would be temporarily directly under the central government.

As for the two thousand generals in the guerrilla camp, one of them, Chen Wang, naturally wanted to give Chen Gong, and Chen Gong would be in charge of the Liao cavalry.

The other thousand general manager appointed Tang Shiping to lead the infantry team.

And Zhao Huailiang is in charge of logistics as a deputy.

Although Chen Wang's talents are scarce now, he is at least able to set up a simple team, which can be regarded as a kind of progress.

On the eighth day, a military order flew in from the south.

This military order can be said to have completely disrupted Chen Wang's original plan.

Chen Wang originally thought that he would have a period of time to stabilize the time for military training and be able to garrison in Ningzhou.

The reason is that after receiving the news of Chunhua's defeat, Li Guo, a tiger who led the cavalry to escape from Sanshui.

More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Chunhua.

Li Zicheng led the elite cavalry all the way south, but the pursuers of Xi'an Mansion did not intercept him.

Li Zicheng led his troops through the front line of Sanyuan, Fuping, and Pucheng in Xi'an Prefecture, broke several towns and villages, and once again expanded the team to more than 20,000 people, all the way to Yan'an Mansion.

And Li Guo led more than 3,000 cavalry from Sanshui to evacuate, and then went straight to Ningzhou, and then went straight to Pingliangfu from Ningzhou to the southwest. ….

Pingliang Mansion, which had already settled down, was once again thrown into chaos.

The soldiers of Pingliang Mansion went to battle, and after being defeated by Li Guo once, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight again.

Many villagers who were originally repatriated to their hometowns were coerced into thieves again, and now Li Guo's command has gathered almost 10,000 people and is looting Pingliang on a large scale.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou ordered him to lead his troops to pursue Li Guo and expel Li Guo from Pingliang Mansion.

At the same time, he also ordered Gao Jie and Liu Chenggong to wait for Zuo Liangyu in Chunhua City, and led the troops south with Zuo Liangyu.

At the same time, Chen Wang also received news about Li Zicheng and Li Guo within two days.

The Crashing Heaven King and other departments that had been defeated under the city of Pizhou had now joined Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Ma Huihui.

The situation is very different now than it has been in history.

But even the Liukou of Pingliang Mansion and Qingyang Mansion have been defeated.

Gao Yingxiang still chose to advance eastward, and after plundering Fufeng, Wugong and other places, and meeting with the Heavenly King and other troops, the military strength of the main force of the Liukou also reached a terrifying 300,000 people.

The 300,000-strong army covered the sun with flags, and the team stretched for hundreds of miles, and the scouts sent by Hong Chengchou could not get a glimpse of the whole picture.

300,000 is only a rough estimate, and the exact number is unknown.

What made Chen Wang feel that the situation was not good, the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou suffered a defeat in Xingping and retreated towards Xianyang.

The order given to Gao Jie was to order him and Zuo Liangyu to garrison Sanyuan City and guard against the enemy.

The situation seemed to be very unfavorable for the Ming army, and Hong Chengchou's move was obviously ready to abandon Xianyang.

Otherwise, Hong Chengchou should order Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu to lead the troops and go directly to support Xianyang.

The course of history has changed, but the outcome should not change much.

Hong Chengchou now has few troops under his command, and can only maintain a defensive position with difficulty.

Although there are many rogues, their ability to attack the fortifications is extremely weak, and the Ming army can basically not lose just a defensive battle.

But the Ming army had no way to help the rogue for the time being.

The army led by Gao Yingxiang is not a straggler, a rabble led by Gao Yingen and Li Zicheng.

More than half of the elites of the 36th Battalion are now under Gao Yingxiang's command, and their field combat capabilities are far superior to the other two routes.

Chen Wang held the military order in his hand and said nothing.

Although all the plans were disrupted, Chen Wang saw an excellent opportunity......

Li Guo is now stirring up the storm in Pingliang Mansion, and Hong Chengchou is relieved to send him to lead the troops to pursue at this time.

Obviously, because of his performance in Chunhua, he won Hong Chengchou's trust.

At the same time, he now has more than 900 elite Liao cavalry and more than 900 elite infantry in his hands, totaling 1,800 people.

Although those battalion soldiers are remnants, they are also soldiers who have followed Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong and others to fight old battles.

Chen Wang now had an idea in his mind, an idea that he couldn't tell other people.

He wanted to learn from the way Li Chengliang played in Liaodong - "raising self-respect".

At present, the elites of the 36th Battalion, such as Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Ma Huihui, are concentrated in the Fufeng area, advancing towards Xi'an Mansion and putting on an offensive posture. ….

However, the real purpose of Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others was actually to leave Shaanxi again and escape into Henan through Tongguan.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, although the drought in Shaanxi has eased a lot, there is still a lack of food, and they have a large number of people along the way, but the food is becoming more and more stretched.

They had no choice but to flee into Shaanxi at the beginning, after all, Hong Chengchou would gather the crowd and come together.

At that time, they suffered defeats one after another, suffered heavy losses, and had to withdraw to Shaanxi.

But now that the soldiers have been replenished in Shaanxi, it is natural to enter Henan again.

The famine in Shaanxi has lasted for so long that it is simply unheard of.

According to the "Chronicles of Hannam-suo-gun":

"In the first year of Chongzhen, the whole Shaanxi sky was as red as blood."

"Five years of great famine, six years of great floods, seven years of autumn locusts and great famine, eight years of drought in Xixiang in September, a little sun and waterlogging, and all the houses are gone."

"Nine years of drought locusts, ten years of autumn crops are gone, eleven years of summer locusts cover the sky...... Thirteen years of drought...... Fourteen years of drought."

Shaanxi was the most severely affected place in the late Ming Dynasty, not a place to stay for a long time.

Shaanxi did not have enough food to feed such a large population, so it had to break into Henan again and advance towards Huguang and Nanzhili.

Now Pingliang Mansion, there is a phase with it

In the neighboring Gongchang Mansion, there are no traces of many rogues.

All the rogues were concentrated in the Fufeng area of Fengxiang Mansion, preparing to attack Xi'an.

Li Guo led his troops to flee to Pingliang Mansion as a last resort, and he was left behind by Li Zicheng to prevent Zuo Liangyu from sending troops to attack Sanshui.

However, he did not expect that Li Zicheng would be defeated in Chunhua, and a large number of troops fled north.

In the capital of Qingyang Mansion, Yu Chongxiao took 3,000 soldiers from Yansui Town at that time.

Where did Li Guo dare to confront Yu Chongxiao, he could only lead his troops to flee in the direction of Pingliang Mansion.

Now Li Guo is lonely and can't scream, just struggling as hard as he can.

Chen Wang's idea of "raising self-respect" is just an idea, not exactly the same as Li Chengliang.

If you can chase Li Guo into Hanzhong, then it would be the best.

It is now September, and the battle in Guanzhong is about to break out.

As long as it drags on until October, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong will retreat to the south of the east.

As long as he delayed a little, Li Guo would miss the only situation to catch up with the large army.

If Li Guo wants to survive at that time, then the only way out is to flee to Hanzhong Mansion.

At this time, the Hanzhong Mansion was in turmoil, and the defenders were empty.

Chen Wang remembered very well that in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong and other troops entered Hanzhong again.

If you are chasing Li Guo all the way into Hanzhong, then it is best to get stuck to a rather important point in time.

Then there will be ample reasons and excuses to stay in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong Province is now part of Shaanxi, but it has not been affected by the drought.

At a time when droughts continued to break out in various parts of Shaanxi, Hanzhong Fu encountered floods during the Chongzhen period, and they were infrequent.

Throughout the late Ming Dynasty, there were large-scale famines in the north and south.

The North was the hardest hit and then spread from the north to the south.

However, the damage in Sichuan, Huguang, Liangguang, Jiangnan, and Hanzhong is not high.

How Zuo Liangyu completed the substantive separation in history, Chen Wang is all clear.

"Lee Zicheng ......"

A slight smile appeared on Chen Wang's face.

He thought that it was bad luck to encounter Li Zicheng repeatedly.

But now that I think about it, Li Zicheng is his lucky star.

In the first battle of Hutou Town, he encountered Li Zicheng, and he was promoted to become the general manager.

In the second battle of Chunhua, it was against Li Zicheng, but he directly became a guerrilla.

Li Zicheng's escape in Chunhua gave him another excellent opportunity.

"I'll see you again in the future, and I'll thank you so much......."
