On September 24, martial law was imposed in Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Datong, and the soldiers and horses of Hudawei, the general soldier of Shanxi, to enter the guard.

Originally, the general soldier of Datong at this time should be Wang Pu, but because of the influence of Chen Wang, Yu Chongxiao, the general soldier of Yansui, died a year early.

Because of this, Wang Pu was promoted to the chief soldier a year ahead of schedule, and it was not the chief soldier of Datong, but the chief soldier of Yansui.

In the previous battle of Cheng and Jie, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Yansui at the time, was defeated by Li Zicheng because of his carelessness of the enemy, and Li Zicheng also crossed the Guanshan Mountain and entered northern Sichuan.

Hong Chengchou was furious, and directly took Wang Pu's official position and pushed him to the end.

Instead, Du Wenhuan, who was supposed to be reinstated in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

On the same day, Chongzhen officially issued the edict of King Qin, ordering soldiers and horses from Shandong, Shaanxi and other places to go north to defend the Beijing division.

……

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, October 12.

On the west side of Tongguan, a huge temporary camp has been set up.

In the camp, many flags were hunting, and the north wind was howling, rolling up countless flags.

Although the camp was sketchy and there were not even many fortifications, the aura of slaughter that came to the face still made people secretly frightened.

There was a great silence in the camp, except for a few soldiers who were guarding the camp wall and patrolling the camp, the rest of the soldiers stayed quietly in the camp.

Tongguan in October is very cold, even wearing ordinary winter clothes can't help but shiver.

Unlike the silence and tranquility in the camp, a large group of cavalry roared over the official road outside the camp from time to time, and a large group of foot soldiers were slowly approaching in the distance of the road.

On September 22nd and 28th, the leaders of the thief chieftain Yuetuo and Dolgon re-entered the army from Miyun and Qingshan Pass respectively, with a combined army of 100,000, claiming to be 200,000.

Huang Taiji personally led the troops to Shanhaiguan to contain the offensive, the two Qing soldiers broke the wall not long after, Wu Aheng, the governor of the Ming Jiliao, and Lu Zongwen, the chief soldier, were killed in battle, and the eunuch Zheng Xizhao fled in fear.

Yue Tuo and Dolgon led the army to enter again in the east and west, drove straight in, met at Niulanshan and then joined forces.

In an instant, the news of the northern captives had spread throughout the north.

Although King Qin's order was not issued, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting received the order to prepare at a very early age.

As a result, the soldiers and horses of the entire Shaanxi were rushing towards the direction of Tongguan at this time.

Chen Wang also received an order to requisition.

The threat of Hanzhong Province has now been completely lifted.

Shortly after Li Zicheng's defeat, on July 15, King Shunyi announced his surrender in Xinyang, Henan.

Chongzhen's edict issued a card to avoid death, and all the more than 9,500 subordinates under his command were disbanded.

In the same month, Luo Rucai, mixed 100,000, 100,000, 100,000, 100,000, Tuotianwang, Xiaoqinwang and other six battalions also begged Premier Xiong Wencan in Yongning, Henan.

Xiong Wencan sent Zhang Dajing, the superintendent of the army, to Xiguan in Yongning County on 1 August to meet with Luo Rucai and others to discuss the matter of recruiting security.

On the second day of the same month, six departments, including Ziweixing, Shooting Collapse Sky, and Yiziwang, which were wandering in Henan Province, also sent people to submit a surrender table in Lushi County, Henan, expressing their willingness to surrender.

If the surrender of Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng made the 72nd Battalion feel that it was difficult to win, then Li Zicheng's defeat really made everyone feel hopeless.

Chen Wang naturally did not have any excuses or reasons to stay in Hanzhong Mansion, and he had to abide by the military orders issued by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

The military order was issued, ordering him to arrive at Tongguan within a time limit, and he would be punished by military law if he was late, and Chen Wang naturally did not dare to disobey.

This time he went north for King Qin, although Chen Wang of the entire Hanzhong Mansion was already able to mobilize nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time, but this time Chen Wang was still ready to bring only more than 3,000 people.

One cavalry and two infantry, adding up to 3,000 people, are combined into one battalion, after all, as the deputy general of the Hanzhong Mansion, the nominal total number of troops is only 3,000.

The cavalry itself has only one Liao cavalry, and although some skilled soldiers have been selected to join, the total number is only close to 1,000 so far.

Chen Wang has not been too concerned about cavalry, and at this stage he can't afford to raise a large number of cavalry, and there is no need to raise a large number of cavalry.

Being able to ride a horse and being able to ride a horse are two different things, and a cavalry needs a lot of training and a lot of money to be able to train a good cavalryman.

It costs enough to raise one cavalryman for five or even ten infantrymen, and not only that, but you also need a good source of horses to raise a cavalry.

Now there is no silver money, horse source and Chen Wang, so from the beginning, Chen Wang did not think about cultivating cavalry first.

The cavalry force of nearly 1,000 people already accounted for more than 30% of the total number, which was actually enough to cope with most of the situation.

When Chen Wang led his troops to Tongguan, most of King Qin's soldiers and horses had basically arrived for a long time.

Although Hanzhong Mansion belongs to Shaanxi, it is actually a remote corner, during which the road is far away, rugged and difficult, and it is naturally the last group to arrive at Tongguan.

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered in Tongguan, and Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian, Ma Ke and others had been stationed in Tongguan for a long time.

In front of the Tongguan camp, Chen Wang immediately held the whip on the side of the official road.

On the official road, a group of soldiers from Hanzhong Town were lined up in a neat formation, walking towards the camp through the camp gate.

Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, and a group of generals were all robes and belts, standing on Chen Wang's side.

"Brother Wang......"

Hu Zhilice stepped forward immediately, raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed not far ahead, and called softly.

Chen Wang raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Hu Zhili's horsewhip, only to see that just in front of the camp not far away, a cavalry team of dozens of people was galloping in the direction where he was.

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, his eyesight was excellent, even the birds hovering in the air in the distance could see clearly, how could he not see who the person who came.

Chen Wang did not hesitate, waved his horsewhip and rode forward directly, and Chen Gong, Hu Zhili and a group of personal guards and cavalry all followed.

The distance of less than 100 paces has arrived in an instant, and when there are still more than ten steps apart, they all tacitly strangled the war horses under the seat.

Chen Wang got down from his war horse and strode forward.

"Humble Chen Wang, see the general! See General Soldier He, General Soldier Zuo, General Soldier Zu. ”

Before he got closer, Chen Wang was already half-kneeling on the ground and respectfully saluted the person standing in front of him.

Behind him, Chen Gong, Hu Zhili and others also bowed down and bowed down.

The person who came was none other than Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, as well as Zuo Guangxian and Ningxia Zu Dabi, the general soldiers of Guyuan.

To be honest, Chen Wang didn't feel any surprise that Cao Wenzhao came to look for him.

After all, he was originally Cao Wenzhao's family member, and he belonged to Cao Wenzhao's cronies, so it was naturally normal for Cao Wenzhao to come over.

It is not surprising that He Renlong came over, after all, He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao are familiar with each other.

But he and Zuo Guangxian and Zu Dabi don't have much connection, and they only have a few sides together.

The two of them, as the chief soldiers, are now out of the camp to meet him, which is a bit unexpected.

"During my time in Tongguan, I heard that you are quite famous in Hanzhong."

Cao Wenzhao's tired face showed a hint of a smile, stepped forward and stretched out his hands, helped Chen Wang up, and said with a smile.

Chen Wang stood up along Cao Wenzhao, and couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart when he heard Cao Wenzhao's words.

"Don't be nervous."

Cao Wenzhao saw that Chen Wang's expression was different.

"It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."

"Lin Daoquan, the prefect of Hanzhong, seems to have a good impression of you, and has praised you several times, and King Rui also wrote a letter some time ago, saying that since you guarded Hanzhong, the bandits in Hanzhong have disappeared, and all places are quiet and peaceful, and there is nothing to do."

Chen Wang's heart was also relieved when he heard this, and he thought that what he did in Hanzhong had attracted Hong Chengchou's attention again.

When Cao Wenzhao explained, he had already thought of countless possibilities in his mind.

"It's been a long time, Brother Chen."

He Renlong walked over with square steps, like a crab, he was wearing a dark arrow suit and a big coat, quite powerful.

It's just that there are a few holes in the big hole, which dilutes this prestige a lot.

He Renlong has now been promoted to the general army, Jiangyou and Mianzhou two battles, He Renlong's combat exploits ranked first, and he was promoted to the new Yansui general soldier.

Wang Pu, the original commander-in-chief of Yansui, had been removed from the position of commander-in-chief because of defeat and dereliction of duty.

"Mr. He's demeanor is still better than in the past."

Chen Wang arched his hand and complimented with a smile.

"Hahaha."

He Renlong didn't pay any attention to the image, and said with a heroic smile.

"Brother Chen still speaks nicely."

Zuo Guangxian and Zu Dabi didn't step forward to speak, the two stood together, and just looked over.

Chen Wang also departed part of his attention to observe Zuo Guangxian and Zu Dabi.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were two Zuo Guangxian, one was the seventh brother of Zuo Guangdou, the leader of the Donglin Party, Wenchen Zuo Guangxian.

The other is Zuo Guangxian, who is a military general.

Zuo Guangxian is tall, sharp-eyed, with a rather thick goatee, he is a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, and at first served as a garrison in Xuanfu Shenjing Fort.

In the second year of Chongzhen, at the suggestion of Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, he was transferred to Yansui Town to coach firearms.

Then he has been following Hong Chengchou's account to encircle and suppress the rogue, with many firearms, outstanding combat power, and deep contributions, and is known as the "general".

Zuo Guangxian also accumulated merit all the way, and rose from guerrilla to Guyuan General Army, commanding a town.

Zu Dabi's expression was peaceful, with a yellow face and short hair, a Chinese face, and there was no anger between his eyebrows, but Chen Wang did not underestimate it in the slightest.

Because Zu Dabi and He Renlong often charge into battle, even more fierce than He Renlong.

He Renlong was called He Maniac because of his fierce battles, and he was often called He Maniac, and Zu Dabi also had the same nickname, he was called "Zu Er Maniac".

Zu Dabi is a native of Ningyuan, Liaodong, the second son of Zu Chengxun, the younger brother of Zu Dashou, and his real name is Tianbi.

When he was in Chongzhen, he went to various places, and successively Dengzhou to quell the rebellion, Xuanfu to defend the enemy, and Shaanxi to suppress the Kou, can all see his figure.

I only wrote 3,000 words, I was so uncomfortable that I really couldn't hold on anymore, so I changed the 3,000 words for the time being
