In the past few months, almost none of the news that has come to the capital has been good.

Since Jiannu entered the customs in June, he has been trapped in many cities.

The city of Changping fell due to internal traitors, and the chief soldier Chao Pichang actually led the troops to surrender after the city was broken.

The Ministry of War sent more than 50,000 soldiers from Shandong, Shanxi, Datong, Baoding and Guanwai to aid the Beijing Division, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked the governor to help the troops from various towns, and obtained Chongzhen's consent.

Chongzhen gave Zhang Fengyi a sword, and gave ten thousand gold and five hundred reward cards.

Later, he appointed Gao Qiqian, the eunuch who monitored Guanning, as the director, and Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of the Liaodong forward, as the commander.

On July 21, Jiannu entered Dingxing, went down to Fangshan, and fought in Zhuozhou, where the Ming army was defeated again and was unable to stop its troops.

The two cities of Wen'an and Yongqing were broken, and they failed to attack Miaoxian, Zhu'an and other counties, and then attacked Shunyi.

Shunyi County fell, the magistrate Shangguan Xin committed suicide, and the Shunyi guerrilla smelter smelted the country, all commanded Su Shiyu to die of martyrdom, and the rest of the generals were killed.

The whole of Gyeonggi has become a mess of porridge, and urgent documents from all over the country are flying like snowflakes.

In order to ensure the safety of Beijing, Chongzhen even ordered Zu Kuan, who was to assist in the Guannei, to lead the troops north, and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to go north to lead the troops to King Qin.

At this moment, an urgent 800-mile Tang newspaper came from Shaanxi.

When everyone heard the emergency report from Shaanxi, they were all panicked in their hearts, thinking that Gao Yingxiang or Zhang Xianzhong had broken a big city and done something earth-shattering.

However, the moment the contents of the Tang Bao were revealed, everyone suspected that they had read the wrong content on the Tang Bao.

In the first battle of Heishuiyu, more than 4,300 Liukou were killed, more than 30,000 people were captured, and Gao Yingxiang, the head of the Kou.

The thief general, Yidougu Huanglong, and the thousand rooster Zhang Er are anyway, the king of Shuntian, He Guoguang, the horse racing super, Ma Yu, and the manager Liu Zhe were beheaded, and the harrier Wang Cheng surrendered!

Gao Yingxiang was ambushed, and together with several leaders of the seventy-two battalions who got up and died, the entire court was shaken.

Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou wiped out the elite of the Chuang army in a battle and lifted the crisis in Shaanxi.

After the cabinet ministers confirmed it again and again, they repeatedly checked the seals in it, and finally sent the news to the palace.

Chongzhen's first reaction when he received the news was the same as Hong Chengchou's first reaction when he received the news, they didn't believe it, they didn't dare to believe it.

When he saw the seal letter of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting on the Tang newspaper, Chongzhen still didn't dare to believe it.

He couldn't believe that the henchman who had almost stirred up the world and could not solve it by mobilizing heavy troops for several years simply died in Heishuiyu and in the hands of Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting arrived in May, and now it has only been two short months, how could Gao Yingxiang, as a giant, die at the hands of Sun Chuanting.

Chongzhen read the Tang Newspaper countless times, although he still couldn't believe it, but he also knew that this Tang Newspaper was really from Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

Following the transmission of the edict verified by the Ministry of War, none of the officials of the Ministry of War dared to slack off and sent people to Pegasus to Shaanxi.

Just when Chen Wang led his soldiers through the Meridian Road to Shiquan, the military officials in charge of the verification not only went to Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi Province, but also completed the verification.

Gao Yingxiang is really dead!

There are really so many heads, there are so many prisoners, and there is not even half an exaggeration above the Tang newspaper.

The official of the military department in charge of the approval quickly flew into Beijing and reconfirmed the news.

Chongzhen's edict ordered Sun Chuanting, and the selection commissioner put Gao Yingxiang's corpse, as well as a number of beheaded, captured, and surrendered rogues into Beijing, and instructed them to transfer troops along the way to strictly guard against it, and not to miss half a point.

At the beginning of September, the Jiannu soldiers withdrew from the Great Wall, carrying 180,000 looted animals and other large quantities of supplies, and returned to the north from Lengkou.

Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong were too timid to fight, so that the region was much broken

The two were terrified, and the soldiers retreated, and the day of the lifting of martial law in Beijing was the time to be convicted, so they took jute every day to die.

On September 2, Zhang Fengyi died in the military camp first, and ten days later, Liang Tingdong also died.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng led the troops to Gyeonggi, although the Jiannu soldiers retreated, but Lu Xiangsheng did not intend to give up, led the troops out of the fortress to rescue more than 7,000 prisoners, and returned to Konoha Mountain.

When Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen led the troops to help, the Jiannu soldiers had also retreated, and the two did not engage them.

On September 12, Gao Yingxiang's body was also transported to the capital.

Chongzhen ordered Lu Xiangsheng to find a general who knew Gao Yingxiang to identify whether it was Gao Yingxiang himself.

When they were identified in the hall, when several generals saw Gao Yingxiang's head, their faces changed suddenly.

There are those who kneel and cry bitterly, those who are trembling and cold, and those who are speechless, although Gao Yingxiang's body has been embalmed and his face has changed, but everyone still recognizes Gao Yingxiang.

At this moment, Chongzhen finally believed Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou's words - Gao Yingxiang was really dead.

In the past, the affairs of the military merit report, the local verification, the military department's verification, and the heavy verification, and then the appropriation of funds by the household department, the official department, and the military department to determine the meritorious service, etc., can generally be delayed for a long time.

But this time, the efficiency of the military department has never been so fast, on the third day after Gao Yingxiang's corpse arrived in Beijing, all the affairs have been confirmed, and the documents for the reward have arrived in Shaanxi through various posts.

At the end of September, the instrument appointing the reward was passed to Chen Wang.

The deputy chief soldier of Hanzhong Town, the commander of Hanzhongwei.

Although there were all kinds of other rewards that came together, these were ignored by Chen Wang.

These rewarded things are just rare and rare, but they can't be exchanged for much silver at all, and they can't raise soldiers or farm land.

Compared to these ethereal things, what Chen Wang needs now is something real.

On the official road, a cavalry team of hundreds of people was slowly advancing on it.

On both sides of the road were farmland full of crops, and the peasants who were farming in the fields were standing far away, looking at the cavalry on the official road.

In such a season, whether it is a bandit or a soldier, it is always right to stand far away.

Chen Wang rode on top of the war horse and walked at the front of the team.

Although he was looking ahead, what Chen Wang was thinking about was the great events that had happened in the imperial court and various places in recent days.

Although because of the butterfly effect caused by himself, the time when Li Zicheng entered the rice fat did not match the original time.

The changes caused by Cao Wenzhao's survival have changed a lot of things.

Hui Dengxiang did not rebel, he led his troops to follow behind Cao Wenzhao, and did not dare to overstep at all.

Without Hui Dengxiang's support, Li Zicheng could only fight alone, and he was already about to be unable to hold on.

If it weren't for Gao Yingxiang's north trip to Heishuiyu, which made Hong Chengchou lead most of the elite to rush south to help, I am afraid that Li Zicheng would have been buried in Mizhi.

Li Zicheng, who was trapped in Yan'an Mansion, immediately understood what was going on when he found that Hong Chengchou was leading his troops to hurry south.

At the beginning, Gao Yingxiang gave him the task of leading his troops to attract the attention of the Ming army in the north, making Xi'an empty.

The plan has already been made, this plan is a secret plan set by Gao Yingxiang, only a few people know about it, and Li Zicheng is one of them.

After Hong Chengchou led his troops south, Li Zicheng knew that Hong Chengchou's southward movement this time would be his only chance to break out of the encirclement.

Li Zicheng's mind is clear, and he also seized this opportunity.

It was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Cao Wenzhao was unable to stop Li Zicheng, and Hong Chengchou took away most of the cavalry.

Li Zicheng was ruthless, almost left behind all the infantry and hungry soldiers, and led seven or eight thousand horsemen all the way to the west, through Qingyang Mansion, and fled into Pingliang Mansion.

The latest news is that Li Zicheng has fled into Gongchang Mansion, and is running back and forth in the mountainous areas of Jiezhou and Huizhou in Gongchang Mansion.

Hong Chengchou led his troops into Gongchang Mansion, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

And Sun Chuanting led the troops to clear the Shangluo Mountains in the south of Xi'an Prefecture, as well as the Liukou in the east.

With the help of the morale of Gao Yingxiang who had killed Gao Yingxiang before, as well as the large amount of weapons confiscated, the Biao Battalion under Sun Chuanting was also completely transformed.

Everyone is a tall horse, with sharp armor, and their armament is not weak compared with Guan Ningqi outside the Guan.

In the battle of Heishuiyu, the equipment of the 40,000 horses under Gao Yingxiang's command, although all the captured armaments should be shared, but the remaining 3,000 cavalry of the Governor Battalion were armed to the teeth, which was more than enough.

The four guards of Xi'an have also benefited, and under Sun Chuanting's training, the military appearance has been renewed, and now it has become the main force in Xi'an's mansion.

Facts have proved that as long as the military salary is enough and the armament is sufficient, the guards can still fight, and the initiation is no worse than the battalion soldiers.

"How's Xun Xiang doing?"

Chen Wang retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look at Chen Gong on the side and asked.

"It's not bad with the big brother."

Chen Gong dragged the war horse forward a little, leaned closer and whispered.

"The Liukou did not come to Xing'an again, Zhang Xianzhong took people to Xiangyang, and the investigators reported that there were almost 200,000 people."

"By the way, how did you guess that the Liukou would go east, big brother?"

"Not a guess."

Chen Wang shook his head, looking at Chen Gong with some helplessness.

"Now that the news of Gao Yingxiang's death has spread, going west to Hanzhong Mansion is a dead end for Zhang Xianzhong and them, Zhang Xianzhong and they don't know the situation in Sichuan, how dare they act rashly."

Chen Wang's eyes were deep, and Zhang Xianzhong's purpose couldn't be clearer.

Gao Yingxiang's death shook the whole world.

Zhang Xianzhong is not wrong to be ruthless, but he is also a human being, so he will naturally be afraid.

He didn't dare to stay in Xunxiang any longer, he wanted to join forces with the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, which was active in Nanzhili, and gather people to protect himself.

"Lu Dufu was transferred to the north, everyone knows about this, we know it, and the rogues also know it."

"The military strength of Xunxiang and Xiangxiang is now thin, and Zhang Xianzhong sees this opportunity before he will attack Xiangyang in the east."

After Lu Xiangsheng went north this time, he never left the north again.

He replaced the deceased Liang Tingdong to guard the Xuanfu and Datong districts, and was appointed governor of Xuanda on September 22.

He was also the left servant of the military department, and the right of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, and was given the sword of Shangfang for the second time.

"By the way, although Xing'an didn't come back, it seems that things are not going well to collect the fields."

Chen Gong frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and said softly,

"Du Wugang sent people to collect a lot of fields, most of the fields are ownerless, and no one dares to collect them, but there are still some troubles in the procedures."

Chen Wang's eyes condensed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced to the side.

"He is a thousand households who guard the Thousand Households of Xing'an, and there are some things he needs to do by himself."

There are one guard and two houses in Hanzhong Mansion.

Yiwei naturally refers to the Han Zhongwei.

Hanzhongwei has five thousand households in the front, back, left, right and middle.

The two refer to the two guards of the thousand households in Chuxian and Xing'an, which are located in the east and west directions of Hanzhong Mansion.

Although the Thousand Households are a Thousand Households, the establishment of officials is the same as that of ordinary Thousand Households.

However, the guards of the Thousand Households are generally under the direct command of the provincial capital division, and are not subordinate to the guard.

However, because the war in Hanzhong Province continued to escalate, the situation became more and more urgent.

The Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Department ordered the Qianhu Office and the Xing'an Qianhu Office to cooperate with the Hanzhongwei and cooperate with the battalions in the Hanzhong Mansion to jointly attack and suppress.

The only person who can drive the Shaanxi capital to command the envoys is naturally Hong Chengchou, who is the governor of the three sides.

It was precisely because of the authority granted by Hong Chengchou that Zhou Yumao was able to use the position of guerrilla in Hanzhong to mobilize the troops of one guard and two institutes in Hanzhong Mansion and preside over the affairs of the entire Hanzhong Mansion.

However, the Qianhu Office of Chuxian and the Qianhu Office of Xing'an are not their real subordinates, they only need to cooperate militarily.

For the Qianhu Office and the Xing'an Qianhu Office, whether it is Han Zhongwei or Chen Wang, the deputy chief of the town guard, they actually have no authority to govern the internal affairs of the two offices.

"Now there is no need to pay too much attention to the Xing'an Institute, and the county will also put it for the time being, let Guan Qilin arrange it himself, and the main energy will be all in Shiquan County."

Chen Wang's eyes rolled slightly, and he admonished.

Xing'an and Chuxian are two guards of thousands of households, and he is not ready to take care of it now.

Now that he has obtained the official position of commander of Han Zhongwei, he can justifiably manage the affairs of Han Zhongwei, and there is no need to take risks to meddle in the affairs of the two guards in Xing'an and Chuxian.

Now this situation is very good, Du Wugang is already biased and insists on subordinate etiquette.

On Guan Qilin's side, as early as when he was recruiting Li Yangchun, who was hiding in Ningqiang, Chen Wang had already arranged him properly and obediently.

There were actually only more than 2,000 people in the Qianhu Office in Chuxian County, but now there are almost 4,000 people, and these people are all sand infiltrated by Chen Wang.

Most of them were displaced people who fled all the way into the county with Chen Wang, and some of them were cronies that Chen Wang had chosen Hu Zhiyi at the beginning.

Some of them entered in place of the household registration of fugitive military households, and the other part entered after the formalities of hooking up the army, all of which were justified and did not cause too many waves.

Guan Qilin was tied to the chariot early, after all, wealth is moving.

When Chen Wang put five thousand taels of silver directly in front of him, Guan Qilin had actually left everything behind.

The change of Bingzi, some of the recorded martyred military attaches and civil ministers.

Deng Zuyu, deputy commander of Chenyuan, a native of Qishui, tried to enter the Weijing Division with guerrilla attacks and fought at Lugou Bridge.
