please make me king

Chapter 888
Zhang Shun saw through the reality of Shaanxi, and couldn't help laughing: "I wonder if Heng Jiu can explain it to me in detail. Who are the military and political figures in Shaanxi?"

Hong Chengchou is so shrewd, he immediately knew Zhang Shun's plan when he heard the words.

He couldn't help hesitating for a while, and took the lead in declaring: "It's been several months since I left my post in Shaanxi, and I don't know all about the changes. I can only let King Shun hear about it by relying on my past memories."

"The land of Shaanxi is the former Qin land, and it is divided into four towns: Ningxia, Gansu, Yansui and Guyuan."

"Among them, Wang Ji, the governor of Ningxia, whose name is Jichuan, is a native of Tai'an, Shandong. He is honest and upright. He has successively served as the magistrate of Zhecheng and Anyi. He was later promoted to the head of the household department and in charge of military pay."

"Later he moved to Guyuan county magistrate, and finally the governor of Ningxia presided over military affairs. He is good at governance and short at military affairs, so he is not to be feared."

"Dabi, the ancestor of the guarding general in Ningxia, is the younger brother of Dashou, the ancestor of the general of the Liaodong army, after the general of the ancestor's family in Liaodong."

"He is extremely brave. When fighting, he likes to shout and shout. He is nicknamed 'Zu Er Crazy'. It is a pity that he is brave but not resourceful. Sooner or later he will be captured by the general!"

"Zhang Yingchen, the governor of Gansu, whose name is Huanbei, is from the Weiren family of Henan, Henan. He was a Jinshi in the [-]th year of Wanli."

"Successively worked as an official and imperial historian in the Economic Nanfu. At the end of the apocalypse, he patrolled Guangdong and almost suffered disaster because he refused to create new words for the eunuch Wei Zhongxian."

"In seven years, he was promoted to be the censor of the capital of Youqin, and took over the post of governor of Gansu in place of his predecessor Bai Yiqing. He is upright and has won many battles and victories, so he is quite capable."

"Ha, I didn't expect to be a fellow!" Zhang Shun commented with a smile, not letting Hong Chengchou explain to the end in one breath.

This time he found a treasure, no matter what kind of person Hong Chengchou is, but based on his own understanding of Shaanxi's military situation, human relations and geography, it is worth the price of a chief of staff.

No, the two sides haven't fought each other yet, and Zhang Shun has almost finished stripping off the underpants of the Shaanxi officials.

Hong Chengchou was also a little proud when he heard the words, but as a surrender, he couldn't show it on his face.

Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea, covered himself up, and then continued: "Originally, the commander-in-chief of Gansu was Yang Jiamo, a mighty general. He was transferred to Jizhen as the commander-in-chief in six years. After several rotations, the commander-in-chief now is Liu Shaozong."

"Although Liu Shaozong was not born as a general, he was brave in battle and experienced in using troops, which is no less than that of Yang Jiamo."

"Governor of Yansui, Zhang Bojing, named Shenghai, is also from Jiangdu, Yangzhou. He was a Jinshi in the [-]th year of Wanli."

"He successively knew the three counties of Kuaiji, Gui'an, and Yin. In the middle of Tianqi, he was transferred to make up for the Lu family. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was slightly moved to the head of the household department, and he was appointed as the military reserve of the two towns of Duyan and Ning, which was quite meritorious."

"Stealing from Yansui, the imperial court promoted Bo Jingbing to prepare for the affairs, and governed Yulin Middle Road. He Sixian was defeated, a city, Jin Chipeng and others were defeated successively."

"In the spring of the seventh year, Qi Yu moved to be the governor, and Bo Jing Youqian was promoted to replace him. Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief, and other soldiers defeated the Minister of Han and the Taoist soldiers in Shuangshan and Yuhe two forts, beheading [-] people."

"If King Shun intends to send troops to Shaanxi, among the three governors, this man has both civil and military skills, which will be a serious disaster!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help touching his chin.

Among the three governors known so far, the governor of Ningxia is good at government affairs and short of military affairs, so he is not to be feared; the governor of Gansu Zhang Yingchen has some skills, but he is also quite satisfactory, so he cannot be regarded as an opponent; only this Bojing is capable of both civil and military affairs, so it seems that we should be cautious treat.

He nodded and said: "Understood, who is the general soldier of Yansui now?"

"It's Yu Chongxiao, who is also a strong general. Shaanxi is located on three sides, and has been fighting with the 'three bandits' all year round. Naturally, there is no mediocre general." Hong Chengchou responded quickly.

"Ningxia Commander-in-Chief Zu Dabi, Gansu Commander-in-Chief Liu Shaozong, Yansui Commander-in-Chief Yu Chongxiao, and Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian, they really are generals from Kansai!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sighed.

He knew that it would not be that simple to conquer Shaanxi. Fortunately, he had basically never heard of these people in his previous life, so they would not be such terrible opponents.

"I don't know how many troops are on the three sides and four towns?" The Art of War says: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.Now that Zhang Shun had asked the general, it was time to ask the soldiers what was going on.

"Ningxia originally had [-] officers and soldiers in the Mabu Army, but in fact it was only [-] in the Mabu Banner Army."

"The original horse infantry army in Gansu had [-] members. The actual number was [-]."

"Yansui originally had [-] horse infantry officers and soldiers, but actually there were [-]."

"Guyuan Town originally had [-] people, but it actually has [-] people."

"In addition, Lintao Town also has [-] members of the Mabu. In total, the Mabu army should have more than [-] members."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he almost peed in fright.If calculated according to the original amount, the imperial court would have more than [-] horses, and the pile of heads would kill him.

Fortunately, the current Shaanxi army is less than half of what it was at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but there are still [-] horses, which is still a giant for the rebel army.

When Zhang Shun was reflecting on whether his strategy of winning Shaanxi in one fell swoop was feasible, he heard Hong Chengchou say again: "It is said that there are [-] horses, but in fact it is less than [-] people who eliminate the old and young, and those who have nothing to pay. Everything!"

No, if you cut three times and cut twice like this, the Ming court's more than [-] troops will be reduced by two-thirds?Zhang Shun couldn't believe it.

"At the beginning when Chen Qiyu conquered King Shun, he took another [-] soldiers. When he left Tongguan, he also led [-] elite soldiers. The loss may not be less than [-] to [-] people. In fact, there are only [-] people left in Shaanxi."

"Facing the face-to-face Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian's [-] people, after defending Jinlai, there were [-] to [-] prisoners, and the remaining [-] to [-] people had to defend the four towns and the important points of the Ming Dynasty. "

Hearing this, Zhang Shun was both surprised and delighted.

After Hong Chengchou's calculations, now the whole of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, except Zuo Guangxian's more than [-] elites, can't find any extra troops.

However, after careful consideration by Zhang Shun, he found that this matter was both unexpected and reasonable.

Although there were many troops on the Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, as the guard system gradually deteriorated, the soldiers in the army were almost reduced to the slaves of the officers. Where are the elite soldiers and generals at the beginning of the country?

The soldiers couldn't eat enough or wear warm clothes, and they couldn't just sit and wait for death. They either fled secretly or looked for opportunities to resist.

This led to the decline in the quality of the soldiers under the command of the generals, the number of soldiers dropped sharply, and they had to rely on a small number of elites to fight; "And a series of rebel leaders, almost all from the Yansui Frontier Army.

In this way, it seems that the war between the imperial court and the rebel army is a war between officers and soldiers and refugees, but in fact it is a battle between frontier troops and frontier troops.

Coupled with the frequent disasters and man-made disasters in the future, the common people sell their children and daughters, and it is not enough to survive.

Didn't the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty "suppress" the less they became, and the more they "suppressed", the weaker they became.

On the one hand, the loss of military households is serious, and on the other hand, the border generals are rich in the world.Therefore, if it is a small-scale battle, the frontier generals can still rely on the servants and elites to wreak havoc everywhere.

And once the scale of the war expands, contradictions such as officers and soldiers eating empty salaries, and sharp conflicts between generals and soldiers will erupt, and every battle will be fatal!

That's why, in Zhang Shun's previous history, Daming dispatched [-] elites and entrusted all of them to Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao.As a result, Song Jin was defeated in a big battle, and the countdown to the death of the Ming Dynasty entered.

Having figured out this verse, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said, "So, it's really clear!"
