In April of the 25th year of Jiajing, he ordered all counties along the border to select 500 soldiers from large counties, 300 from middle counties, and 200 from small counties, and ordered them to protect the city.

In the twenty-third year of Wanli, Kechen Geng Suilong asked for the restoration of the old system of the people, and there were 200 in Dazhou County, 150 in the second, and 100 in the small.

And now, with the constant turmoil in various places, the size of the militia is constantly expanding.

At present, there are more militias in the turbulent areas of the interior than there were in the border areas during the Jiajing period, and the militia in some turbulent localities can even reach seven or eight hundred in large counties, four or five hundred in central counties, and two or three hundred in small counties.

These militiamen farmed in their spare time, fought in wartime, and trained in daily life, which was actually very similar to the guards.

But unlike the guards, they are all civilian households, and most of them are children of good families.

Under the idea of protecting the countryside and protecting the family scrolls, their will to fight is much stronger than that of the guards.

"The power of mobilizing the militia and mobilizing the strong men belongs to the chief officials of the state and county."

Zhou Yumao resisted the urge to ask questions and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Now Chen Wang is a general in Hanzhong, his direct superior, and he will serve under Chen Wang for a long time in the future.

Zhou Yumao knew very well that what Shangguan didn't explain, he shouldn't ask more.

"The population of the two cities is about 100,000 people, of which the number of young and strong people is not small, if the people are recruited to help defend the city, it should not be a problem to temporarily recruit tens of thousands of people."

Although Zhou Yumao didn't know the specific population of the two cities, he had been a guerrilla in Hanzhong for nearly two years, and he still had some understanding of Xing'an and Xunyang.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wengui was light and light, and as a battalion general, he only had the right to command the troops under normal circumstances, and did not have the right to transfer troops.

The reason why Zhou Yumao, as a guerrilla in Hanzhong, was able to mobilize the guards and militia in Hanzhong was because he had received the power delegated by Hong Chengchou.

However, the power was limited to the transfer of troops, and the actual management of the guards and militia did not belong to Zhou Yumao.

Chen Wang's eyebrows raised slightly, he really forgot about this thing.

"In the first month, the thieves broke through Kaifeng Fumi County, Henan Prefecture Dengzhou, and went south to Ruzhou, Luyang about last month has been broken, and most of the Liukou have crossed the pass and invaded Nanyang Mansion in a big way."

"News from the east,

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong have already met in Nanyang Mansion. ”

Chen Wang did not take his eyes off Zhou Yumao and continued.

"Hundreds of thousands of people from the Liukou tribes are jointly camped in Nanyang, and the horses are returned, and the Liukou banners are full of wilderness, and the camp is difficult to see for a hundred miles, and it is innumerable."

Zhou Yumao's expression was solemn, his body swayed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

The south of Nanyang Mansion is Xiangyang Mansion, and once you enter Xiangyang Mansion, there are only two roads to go.

One to the south, one to the west, and no road to the east.

Xiangyang Mansion is bordered by Xunyang Mansion to the west and De'an Mansion to the east, but it is blocked by steep mountains in the middle, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the army to march past.

To the south, it is necessary to capture Xiangyang City.

But how could Xiangyang City be a city that fell so easily?

In the past, when the Mongols invaded the south, they besieged Xiangyang with heavy troops, but it was difficult to advance an inch.

It was not until five years later that Xiangyang suffered from the lack of reinforcements and no food and grass in the city, and the defenders finally chose to surrender out of the city, and Xiangyang City finally fell.

It is not possible to go east, the road to the south is cut off, and it is even more impossible to go north.

To the north is the direction from which the Liukou came, and behind must be a large number of pursuers.

Then there was really only one route left for the rogues to march - to the west.

From Nanyang Province, Xiangyang Province to Xunyang Province, and then continuing west, their destination is Hanzhong Province, and they want to return to Shaanxi again!

Zhou Yumao's expression changed, it was extremely ugly, and when he sat down again, he almost fell to the ground because he didn't sit firmly.

The generals and colonels sitting in the hall were all thousands of presidents, and everyone saw Zhou Yumao's embarrassment, but no one laughed at Zhou Yumao, because this matter was also like a mountain in everyone's hearts.

"Zhou Guerrilla Town Guards Hanzhong is more familiar with Hanzhong, and Xunyang and Xing'an will be contacted by you to recruit people to defend the city."

Chen Wangwei thought about it for a while and decided to hand over this matter to Zhou Yumao to deal with.

Zhou Yumao has been in Hanzhong Prefecture for a long time as a guerrilla in Hanzhong, and he has been attacking in the east for more than half a year, and he is already familiar with the chief officials of Xing'an and other prefectures and counties.

Since the original relationship is still harmonious, there is no need to make too many changes.

After conveying the military order, Chen Wang simply assigned the issue of defense and dissolved the meeting.

Zhou Yumao and the chief officials of Xing'an and Xunyang contacted the Minzhuang militia, and at the same time led the troops to move the camp to temporarily guard Xunyang.

For the time being, Chen Wang didn't want to have too much and too close contact with the chief officials of these places.

If the relationship is good, those local magistrates will not bring him much benefit, but may cause bad suspicion.

If the relationship is not good, and the magistrates of those places are offended, the impeachment will not have any real impact, but it will inevitably be punished for it.

Now Chen Wang just wanted to try not to attract Hong Chengchou's attention as much as possible, so that Hong Chengchou's eyes could temporarily turn to other places.

When he was under Cao Wenzhao's command, the army was short of food and asked for supplies from the surrounding counties, but the local commander not only did not give supplies, but ordered an artillery attack, otherwise Cao Wenzhao led the army closer.

And he is not willing to grovel to do those thankless tasks.

Along the way, all the states and counties that Chen Wang led his troops through were all closed doors and refused to enter.

Even if you want to spend money to buy some vegetables and food, such a reasonable request has been rejected several times.

Although Chen Wang knew that these things could not be blamed on the civilian officials in these places, after all, many local armies had corrupt military discipline after the end of the Ming Dynasty.

There are rumors in many places: thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.

The so-called comb is a comb, and the teeth of the comb are slightly wider and are used to comb and arrange the hair.

The grate is a hair-brushing tool specially used to remove lice from the hair, and the teeth are dense.

The meaning of thieves and soldiers is like a grate is that thieves and robbers are like combing with a comb, and there are survivors and surplovers after that.

Officers and soldiers plundered the people as if they were using bamboo grates, and then looted them all, and the officers and soldiers harmed the people more than the thieves.

But......

Can all these officers and soldiers be blamed for all this?

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the main and guest officers and soldiers of Yunzhen had no pay to eat, and at the same time, Shaanxi Fulian State Affairs was also in a hurry.

Anqing's garrison army, suffering from the cutting of the officials, all have centrifugation, and finally Chongzhen eight years when the rogues came to attack, and they have not yet engaged in the battle with the rogues, and they have been scattered in a hurry.

If the imperial court does not owe military salaries, if the colonels do not withhold and exploit them, if they are not oppressed, how can they become evil ghosts step by step,

Most of the ordinary soldiers were poorly clothed, hungry, and destitute.

They are not domineering, they are not cruel, they are not dehumanized, they are also human beings, and others are desperately struggling on the poverty line, desperately trying to survive.

Bahu are those family members who hold high salaries, those cruel generals who are bent on climbing up, and those corrupt moths in the court who destroy human nature!

Chen Wang's expression was slightly gloomy, the biggest reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was because of its huge financial problems.

The army was ineffective and could not completely suppress the rebellion because of financial problems.

Although later generations called the Liukou at the end of the Ming Dynasty the peasant army, in fact, most of their main backbone were rebellious Ming troops.

Today is the ninth day of the second month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, and it is February 10 of this year, that is, one day later.

Due to the long-term lack of salary, the officers and soldiers of Ningxia mutinied, and the hungry soldiers besieged the official office.

The governor of Ningxia, the right governor of the imperial history, Wang Ji, was unable to pay for the hungry soldiers, so he was killed by clamoring.

It was not until Ding Qirui, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, led the army to suppress it, captured seven people who were the leader, and immediately beheaded them, and the mutiny was pacified.

Hong Chengchou felt that a high-ranking official had been killed, and the situation was serious, so he personally rushed to Guyuan, Ningxia to deal with it.

Li Zicheng and other troops regained momentum and took the opportunity to attack the areas of Yulin and Suide in northern Shaanxi.

The first half of the ninth year of Chongzhen was a rather low year for the Ming army, although several large-scale battles were victorious, but it failed to weaken the military strength of the Liukou, and the Liukou blossomed in many directions and flowed around but had a tendency to intensify.

Chen Wang's vision is complicated, and history has changed under his influence.

Cao Wenzhao, who should have died in battle, did not die, but should be unknown and just a thousand general masters, but with more than 2,000 elite cavalry soldiers, he became the camp officer of Hong Chengchou's pacesetter battalion.

Gao Jie's original losses in the Battle of Sanyuan were also supplemented in the future, and because of this, something that shouldn't have happened happened.

After Li Zicheng's troops moved to camp, Hong Chengchou gathered 20,000 officers and troops to pursue desperately.

Li Zicheng and Chaotianxing passed from Chengcheng through Hancheng, Ayang, Yichuan, and Luochuan.

Through ~ Zhou, Yan'an, through the territory of Yansui Town, take through Qingyang Fuhuan County, and then through Qingyang Fucheng, westward into the Guyuan territory of Pingliang Mansion.

The stars and stars of the sky are from Zhenning and Heshui to the east of Gaoling and Sanyuan in Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou was worried that the provincial capital of Xi'an would be lost, so he was forced to divide his troops to pursue him.

Hong Chengchou personally led the army to pursue the three divisions of Tianxing, Mantianxing, and Chaotianxing.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong led the troops and horses of the headquarters to continue to pursue Li Zicheng.

From here, confusion had already begun to appear, and Chen Wang remembered very well that in the original time and space, Chaotian Xing was acting with Li Zicheng, while Hui Dengxiang, the Heavenly Star, was only acting with Mantianxing.

Guo Tianxing Hui Dengxiang and Li Zicheng should be relatively close, but I don't know why they are extremely angry now.

Chen Wang suddenly felt a bright light flash through his mind, and he recalled one thing, not long after the battle of Hutou Town, Hui Dengxiang and Li Zicheng acted separately, and at that time, the historical line had already changed.

I'm afraid that there was some dispute between Hui Dengxiang and Li Zicheng, and there was a gap.

After more than half a year of tempering, Chen Wang is no longer the student who perceives the situation of the war, and he has begun to gradually adapt to his identity.

Hong Chengchou led the army to pursue all the way, and caught up with the three divisions of Tianxing Hui Dengxiang and Mantianxing and Chaotianxing in the central county.

Hui Dengxiang had fought three consecutive battles with Hong Chengchou before, losing three battles and three defeats, and he didn't dare to turn around to meet the attack, so he directly chose to break his tail to survive, and led the fine horse army to flee directly.

Hui Dengxiang made his way west, and this time he tried to find Li Zicheng to rendezvous.

However, Hong Chengchou predicted in advance that Zuo Guangxian and Liu Shaozong, the general soldier of Gansu, attacked Huideng in the dry salt pond.

Zuo Guangxian and Liu Shaozong, the general soldier of Gansu, were ordered by Hong Chengchou to set up a siege and intercept the way.

Hong Chengchou personally led the pacesetter battalion as the rearguard, and Gao Jie as the forerunner.

That's where bigger changes come about.

Whitden led his troops into a heavy siege, and the army was flustered and difficult to restrain him.

Gao Jie saw the chaos in Huiden's army from a distance, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation to cover and kill, and then seized the opportunity to personally lead the armored cavalry to break into the chaotic army, and slashed the stars.

Chaotian Xing wanted to maintain the military formation, but he was scattered by the rout, and his life and death were unknown.

Seeing the situation, Hong Chengchou hurriedly ordered the drum to march, and Liu Shaozong and Zuo Guangxian led the troops to attack together.

Embattled, there is no way to enter the ground in the sky, Whitten is frightened, dismounts and kneels, bows his head and holds a knife to surrender.

In the original time and space, after being besieged, Hui Dengxiang and the stars accepted the persuasion to surrender.

Later, Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, installed tens of thousands of his troops in Yan'an, and then the Ningxia Mutiny broke out, and Hui Dengxiang rebelled with the stars.

But now the Mixed Sky Star and the Sky Star, which should not have died, died in the dry salt pool.

The soldiers and horses under the command of Huideen suffered heavy casualties, and it seems that there are only a few thousand people left, and Chen Wang does not know where they are placed.

The outbreak of a mutiny in Ningxia is inevitable, and tomorrow will be the day when Wang Ji, the governor of Ningxia, will die.

At that time, Hong Chengchou will most likely go to Ningxia Town to appease the local soldiers.

But it is unclear whether Whitden will rebel again, as history has done.

The army under the command of Whitden now suffered heavy losses, and both the stars and the stars were all killed......

The situation in Shaanxi has gradually departed from its original historical line.

Chen Wang slowly stood up, and the main hall of the Xing'an City Guard Office was already empty at this time.

After the dissolution of the meeting, everyone with their own functions has already gone to handle it.

The door of the hall was closed, and all the guards were guarding outside the hall, and Chen Wang was the only one left in the hall.

Chen Wang looked around at the empty surroundings and raised his eyes to look at the map on the table.

In March, UU reading Gao Yingxiang will lead the army and Zhang Xianzhong into Hanzhong Mansion and return to Shaanxi.

The record in the book does not explicitly say whether Gao Yingxiang captured Xing'an and Xunyang.

It's just that Gao Yingxiang brought the Collapse of the Sky, Scorpion Block and other ministries to Zhang Xianzhong in March, and entered Xing'an through Xiangyang Mansion and Xunyang Mansion, and divided Shiquan and Hanyin.

If hundreds of thousands of people come in a flock, forcibly attack the city, and besiege it day and night, if the defending troops are not enough, Xing'an and Xunyang are afraid that it will be difficult to defend.

Although Zhang Xianzhong did not follow Gao Yingxiang behind, when Gao Yingxiang was defeated by Heishuiyu, the Collapse of the Sky and the Scorpion Block were not there, and they were still active in Xunyang Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion at that time.

Now a difficult problem is facing Chen Wang, and the problem that caused this problem is the military order sent by Hong Chengchou a few days ago.

The Liukou gathered a crowd, and it was difficult to resist with only two battalions of soldiers, and Hong Chengchou did not let him hold the road and block Gao Yingxiang from Hanzhong Mansion.

The military order issued by Hong Chengchou was concise and to the point, and there was only one very simple requirement -- the defense of Hanzhong should give top priority to the safety of King Rui.
