"Li Ziguo is naturally Taoguang and ......"

Yang Sichang's eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his heart was full of cold thoughts.

As early as the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's sudden defeat made Yang Sichang realize that something was wrong.

Yang Sichang had already drawn up a plan for encirclement and suppression, preparing to transfer heavy troops from Sichuan and Shaanxi to search the mountains and valleys, even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would kill Li Zicheng, and kill all the remnants of the army who fled into the deep mountains and old forests, so as to prevent future troubles.

It's just that the sudden southward movement of the Qing army at that time broke all of Yang Sichang's plans.

Facing the Qing army that went south to enter the Kou, the Son of Heaven thought that now that the Liukou in the Guannai had weakened, he could send the elite troops from the three sides to enter the Weijing Division to come to King Qin.

Yang Sichang did not agree with the recruitment of the king of Shaanxi Bingqin from the beginning, but the son of heaven Chrysostom could not allow him to refuse.

At that time, Shaanxi was still unstable, and Li Zicheng's sudden defeat also made Yang Sichang feel full of mysteries.

Li Zicheng was clearly in the middle of the day at that time, and he fought for thousands of miles, involving the armies of the three sides, and repeatedly jumped out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and then defeated the official army in a row, and marched all the way.

But he plunged into the Jedi at the last end, giving up the advantage of maneuvering and turning to positional warfare, which he was not good at.

Originally.

All of this is just a temporary Taoguang recuperation, and the momentum is just waiting for the time to be released!

Looking at the white countryside from afar, Yang Sichang stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the snow on the wall in front of him.

The icy chill went deep into the bone marrow along the melting snow, which cleared Yang Sichang's originally somewhat drowsy mind a little.

"The situation is changing now, and it is completely different from when the rogue first started."

Yang Sichang raised his hand, the ice and snow in his hand had melted, leaving only a little ice water.

The more he learned, the more Yang Sichang realized how chaotic and complicated the situation was now.

"The Guannei civil rebellion began in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and it has been 12 years since then, and it has gone through several ups and downs, but after all, it cannot be extinguished, but it has intensified."

After a year of recuperation and development, today's Liukou is far from the beginning, and this year's development is more rapid than the previous twelve years.

The palpitating killing intent swirled in Yang Sichang's eyes.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang's army defeated Heishuiyu, the thieves were silent, and thousands of horses were together, which was the best time to exterminate the Liukou.

It's a pity that because of the border situation in the north, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the north, and finally the position of prime minister of the six provinces fell to Xiong Wencan.

The originally good situation was buried by Xiong Wencan, a horseman.

Yang Sichang's heart was even colder, and his hatred for Xiong Wencan became more and more deep, but Yang Sichang still didn't lose his temper out of anger in the end, and everything finally just turned into a sigh.

"It's still my responsibility to make this situation happen......

Yang Sichang sighed lightly and said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the reason why Xiong Wencan was able to take office was because he didn't know anyone, misbelieved the rumors, and thought that Xiong Wencan was really a capable minister, so that now such a situation has occurred.

To do something wrong is to do something wrong, Yang Sichang has never been the kind of person who does not admit his mistakes.

It is precisely because people know where the mistakes are, and it is precisely because of the mistakes that they can correct their mistakes and make continuous progress.

"If a man is not a sage, how can he know everything."

Ye Guanming saw that Yang Sichang was in a low mood, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Xiong Wencan is good at being an official, quiet in seeking a career, in a remote place between Guangxi and Guangzhou, because of a coincidence, he has the merit of subduing the southeast group of cowards, and has the name of a capable minister."

"The Manchu courtiers also thought that this person could really succeed, and the Ming Duke mistook it because of this, but it was just human nature."

Originally, many things were covered up and whitewashed by Xiong Wencan, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty at that time regarded Xiong Wencan as a capable minister.

Later, as time passed, what Xiong Wencan did became more and more wrong, and after an investigation, Yang Sichang learned that the reason why Xiong Wencan was able to pacify the Southeast Haikou was actually because Zheng Zhilong had already had the heart to belong.

When Xiong Wencan was the governor of Liangguang, not only was it useless, but on the contrary, there were things that were originally nine out of ten, but they were destroyed because of his greed for money.

"At present, the internal turmoil in the customs is far from being out of control."

"It's not too late to see a rabbit and a dog; It's not too late to make amends. ”

After his father Yang He was convicted, Yang Sichang was able to stand firm in the court as a lonely minister, won Chongzhen's trust, and even promoted to a cabinet minister, naturally he was not an ordinary person.

For Yang Sichang, the low will is extremely short-lived, even if he doesn't use Ye Guanming, he can recover quickly.

"You're right, although the current situation is extremely bad, it is true that it has not reached an uncontrollable situation."

Yang Sichang's expression eased slightly, and the gloom in his eyes dissipated a lot.

After Xiong Wencan's incident, Yang Sichang once again held a lot of weight.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, many things Yang Sichang has repeatedly confirmed.

The main reason why he left Chen Wangzhen to guard Yunyang and Hanzhong this time was indeed because Hanzhong and Yunyang were extremely important and they had to be guarded by one person.

The secondary reason is an investigation of Chen Wang, to examine what kind of mind Chen Wang has, whether he is loyal, whether he is talented, and whether he can use it.

The victory at Qingshan Pass only proved Chen Wang's bravery and the elite of the soldiers under his command.

At present, it seems that Chen Wang is not only brave, but also has the talent of a general, and is loyal to the country.

The military orders he issued were always followed, and although there were some cases that were not immediately carried out because of the imminent situation of the battle, there were also messages stating the details.

Yang Sichang tried several times, and after Chen Wang's message, he issued an order to force Chen Wang to enter the suppression, and then Chen Wang also went to the suppression according to his plan without disobedience.

So now for Chen Wang, Yang Sichang's impression is very good.

It's a pity that the two prefectures of Hanzhong and Yunyang are very important in the entire suppression situation, and they must have a heavy general to defend.

"Now that there are many bandits and smoke all over the ground, it is not an overnight thing to want to exterminate them all."

"What Ming Gong said is in line with the solution to today's crisis."

Ye Guanming bowed slightly and agreed.

"The six provinces are concurrent, and all sides are rising, and the current situation looks like a burden, but in fact, there are only Li Zicheng, Zhang Luo, and the two thieves in the climate, as well as the three battalions of the five battalions of the left revolution."

"As long as these three rogues are defeated, the sound of the rogues will inevitably plummet, and the elimination is only between the covers."

"Nope."

Yang Sichang shook his head slowly and vetoed Ye Guanming's statement.

"It's not three, it's just two."

Ye Guanming's expression was slightly abrupt, and he was puzzled.

"Please forgive the students for being ignorant, and please ask Ming Gong for guidance."

Yang Sichang withdrew his hand, stood with his hands in his hands, raised his head upright, and said indifferently.

"The fifth battalion of the left of the revolution is entrenched in the Yinghuo Mountains, with the mountain as the camp, and the pulse as the array, although there are many people, but the destruction is limited, and the heart of a corner of the country is not the ambition to plot the world, but it is not enough."

"In the chaotic world, there are only Li Zicheng and Zhang Luo, two thieves."

The scale of the rogues is much smaller than that in the early days of the civil uprising, and it is no longer the scale of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

The combined main forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are only 20,000 people, and Li Zicheng, who is stirring up the storm in Shaanxi, is only more than 10,000 people.

But because of this, the resurgence of the rogue is even more terrifying.

Because this proves that the rogues are changing their tactics and ways of thinking, they are beginning to develop in the direction of power, and are streamlining the administration of the army, and even restricting military discipline to not harm the people.

Whether it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, they rarely burned, killed and looted all the way up, almost did not harm the ordinary people, but made good connections, restrained the army, used the people as eyes and ears, and pointed the finger at the local gentry and landlords.

All these things corroborate that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai are developing in the direction of the peasant army and the forces of the separatist side.

No matter how powerful the rogues are, they don't have anything to do, they only know how to plunder, after all, they are like rootless grasses, and they can be wiped out sooner or later.

However, if it is allowed to turn into a peasant army, once it divides one side and becomes a king, it will definitely greatly shake the foundation of the country.

With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

Yang Sichang read a lot of books, how not to understand the rise and fall of various dynasties and generations.

It is said that the number of the 5th Battalion of Gezuo entrenched in the Yinghuo Mountains exceeded 50,000, and the number of bandits and robbers attached to it was 20,000 or 30,000 more.

However, the 5th Battalion of the Left Wing of the Revolution was still a rogue and had no intention of separating one side, and was still coercing the hungry people as before, driving the people away, and plundering them everywhere.

Therefore, Yang Sichang only sent Huang Digong and Sun Yingyuan to lead the Yongwei battalion to suppress the formation, and handed over the task of attacking and suppressing to the local governor.

"What Ming Gong said is very true, but the students want to go wrong."

Ye Guanming frowned tightly, his expression was heavy, what Yang Sichang said was indeed good, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution did not have much threat, and there was no prospect for development.

Yang Sichang lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice.

"If I remember correctly, Zhang Xianzhong was in Dazhou not long ago, and broke the Sichuan army led by Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua, went north to Taiping County, and went straight to Hanzhong Mansion."

"Ming Gong remembers it well."

Ye Guanming's expression was awe-inspiring, his face was heavy, and he said.

"After more than ten days of confrontation, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the lax defense of the Sichuan army led by Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua, suddenly launched an attack, broke out, and went straight to Taiping County.

From Taiping County to Hanzhong Mansion, there are two roads to go.

One is to cross Ziyang, enter Xing'an, and then go straight from Xing'an to Hanyin.

The other is a long driving trail, which goes straight to Xixiang along the ocean water, and can go straight to the hinterland of Hanzhong Mansion.

Zhang Xianzhong's descendants of the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses in the previous encirclement and suppression, and now most of his subordinates are compiled by the mountain people in the Yunxiang Mountains, and they are almost like walking on the ground.

Shao Jiechun set up many barriers in the counties of Kuizhou Prefecture, and was finally highlighted by Zhang Xianzhong.

Although Shao Jiechun's command ability is not good, resulting in a lot of mistakes and omissions, but the mountains of Kuizhou Mansion are high and the road is far away, and the terrain is dangerous, Zhang Xianzhong can always break out of the encirclement, and he can still see that Zhang Xianzhong's department is indeed elite and adaptable.

"Zhang Xianzhong's intention to march like this is obvious, he should want to go straight to Xixiang, and he intends to enter the hinterland of Hanzhong Mansion, and it is very likely that he wants to join Li Zicheng."

"Now Li Zicheng is stirring up the storm in Shaanxi, Fengxiang, Gongchang, Pingliang, Xi'an, and Qingyang are all affected by it, and Li Guoqi can barely protect Xi'an."

Yang Sichang frowned, if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were allowed to merge and enter Shaanxi, I am afraid that there would be no way to suppress the popular uprising, and they would have to fall into a protracted pursuit and escape war.

"The people's rebellion started in Shaanxi, the Liukou is familiar with the geographical advantages, and Hong Henglao's repeated encirclement and suppression ended in nothing, and he must not give up entering the Hanzhong Mansion."

Ye Guanming's expression was relaxed and he said with a smile.

"Ming Gong rest assured, General Chen swept away the Liukou in the north of Yunyang Mansion and then returned to Xing'an, and after receiving the defeat of the Dazhou Sichuan army, he immediately led the troops to the edge of the provincial border to prevent the thieves from fleeing north."

Hearing Chen Wang's name, Yang Sichang's frowning brows stretched slightly, but he quickly frowned again.

"The Sichuan soldiers went south, Li Guoqi went north, Cao Bianjiao was transferred to Chengtianfu by me, and Chen Hongfan needs to guard against the Yunnan bandits."

"Zhang Xianzhong is now fighting and winning battles, and it is difficult to deserve it, relying on the ...... of Chen Wang's subordinates alone"

Ye Guanming replied.

"General Chen is good at training, and the soldiers under his command are very brave, and in the past few months, the weak guards under the Hanzhong Guard have been transformed, and they dare to fight in the field without falling behind."

"Now that General Chen has returned to Hanzhong Mansion for more than two months, the main barracks under his command and the reinforcement battalions under his younger brother have been recruited, so they must already be quite powerful."

"There are about 3,000 native soldiers under his command, who are very good at mountain warfare, and there are more than 1,000 elite soldiers led by the crossbow general Zhang Ling, with a total strength of more than 12,000 people."

"Although there are many new recruits under General Chen's command, according to the ability of General Chen, he will definitely be able to defend the provincial border and repel the incoming enemy."

Ye Guanming didn't think Zhang Xianzhong had a chance to escape.

Chen Wang won two battles and two victories, a battle at Baituguan and a battle at Daliang Mountain, first killing Bai Gui, the king of Xiaoqin, and then beheading Chang Guoan, the king of heaven, which is enough to see that he is indeed well-trained and skillful.

"Zhang Xianzhong has now entered Taiping County, and he has won victories in successive battles, but in fact, he has entered a Jedi and cannot escape."

"Half an hour ago, the students have received news that General Qin's territory has 8,000 soldiers, and they arrived in Wanxian the day before yesterday, and they have not had time to report to Ming Gong."

Yang Sichang's originally somewhat gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression was no longer as heavy as before, and he smiled.

"Since General Qin has arrived in Wanxian, the two thieves are really not afraid."

There is only one person in the entire Ming Dynasty who can be called the old general of Qin, and that is Qin Liangyu, who is now serving as the Shizhu Propaganda Envoy!

Since Qin Liangyu was appointed as a general, he has made great achievements, women are not allowed to have eyebrows, the battle of Banzhou broke Yang Yinglong's army, Qin Liangyu is the first in the battle of Nanchuan Road, and even surpasses her husband Ma Qiancheng.

In the rebellion of Luxury, Chongming surrounded Chengdu, and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, ordered the soldiers and horses of each town to go to the conquest.

The toasts everywhere were all greedy for the bribes of the thieves and did not move.

The soldiers of each town were afraid of the momentum of the thieves and did not dare to invite them.

Only Qin Liangyu led the lonely army to forge ahead, beat the drum to the west, all the way like a bamboo, drove straight into Chengdu, defeated the extravagant Chongming, and relieved the siege of Chengdu.

The reason why the rebellion of Lu'an was pacified, Qin Liangyu made great contributions.

So he was ordered to be named a lady, and he was ordered to be the governor of the capital and the chief military officer.

The Ma and Qin clans were also rewarded for this, and there were many people who served as deputy commanders, generals, and garrisons.

Since the civil uprising, Qin Liangyu's prestige has not diminished back then, and he has defeated the rogues in a row, so that the rogues talk about the soil and change color.

With Qin Liangyu in eastern Sichuan, there is no need to be afraid of the two thieves of Xian and Ru.

Qin Liangyu is the pillar of the southwest!
