The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 760

It is very good for the Military Intelligence Department to organize hundreds of its own people in Hanzhong City.

Regardless of the attitude of the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Huiwu had to guard Hanzhong City for the safety of the millions of taels stored in the Sifang Bank's treasury.

Covering Huang Huiwu's identity is the head of the security of the Sifang Bank. He volunteered to organize manpower to participate in the defense of the city, which was supported by Chinese and Chinese officials and generals.

Too many Hanzhong officials, and even officials and merchants in the whole of Shaanxi, are in the Sifang Bank, so they don't know that there is a lot of silver in the bank's bank.

Seeing that the bandits were about to come to besiege the city, the head of the security at Sifang Bank was understandably anxious.

Under Huang Huiwu's organization and with the cooperation of officials and gentry, there were more than [-] spontaneous guards, and a curfew was imposed in Hanzhong City, and nearly [-] young and middle-aged men of unknown origin were arrested within three days.

Every day, people were shown their heads at Caishikou, one or two hundred rogue spies whose heads could be identified were hung at the gate of the city, and five or six hundred untrustworthy young adults were imprisoned.

With the "Red Banner Army" system intervening in urban management, the order in Hanzhong City was orderly, and even the sanitary conditions were greatly improved.

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng suddenly besieged Hanzhong City, but unfortunately the expected internal and external cooperation was in vain, and after receiving a spy report, Hong Chengchou personally led an army of tens of thousands to Hanzhong to kill.

The leaders of the rogue bandits made a prompt decision, and they led their troops to the mountainous area to plunder overnight in Sichuan.

Shaanxi seems to be in danger!The information was sent back to the base camp, Huang Han decided to temporarily abandon Shaanxi, and issued an order to withdraw all "Red Banner Army" industries from Shaanxi, leaving only a part of the banner guards to operate secretly.

This order means that Shaanxi Huang Han, who has been beaten to death by the rogues, is left alone, leaving it to the rogues and Hong Chengchou to have fun.

A few days after Hong Chengchou pursued the bandits and settled in Hanzhong, the city began a major retreat, which was not a premeditated move by the banner guards.

But too many officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians panic after seeing the "Red Flag Army", Sifang Bank, Sifang Express, Hongqi Post Office and other "Red Flag Army" industries posting notices that they will close their doors in three days, and choose to follow the "Red Flag Army" "Walk.

Those who are determined to follow the "Red Banner Army" are of course ordinary people who have registered household registration and have food books and can enjoy the affordable food supply of the "Red Flag Big Grain Bank".

In Shaanxi at the end of Ming Dynasty, there were either natural disasters or military disasters year after year. The price of miscellaneous grains was often higher than one stone and five taels of silver. When the bandits crossed the border, the price of grain in the cities even exceeded ten taels of silver.

Too many people in Shengdou, who have been favored by the "Red Banner Army", have to reluctantly abandon everything and follow when the general conscripts withdraws from the property.

Those who choose to leave are wise. The cost of supporting 1 people in Shaanxi, where there are constant wars and disasters, is too high, much higher than that of supporting 3 people along the river and coast.

Seeing that Shaanxi is more chaotic, the selective abandonment of Shaanxi is also to improve the efficiency of relief when there is no strength to help the world.

Huang Huiwu knew that the head of the family had captured most of the Korean kingdom and established the "Han River Province". The more population the better, seeing so many military and civilian officials prepared to follow the retreat and immediately mobilize forces to provide logistical support.

General Zhenglu was already a lawless existence in Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou and the eunuch who supervised the army deliberately avoided matters related to the "Red Banner Army". They didn't care that Huang Huiwu organized 2 people to go to Xi'an.

The emperor's close minister, the eunuch who supervised the army, the governor of Yansui, and the governors of the three sides of Shaanxi did not interfere with the affairs under the general's command. There was no Sun Chuanting who dared to act arbitrarily here, and the others turned a blind eye.

After Huang Huiwu arrived in Xi'an, he brought out another 3 to [-] people. Han Zhikuan and Huang Weizheng, who were guilty of the crime, took the initiative to join the team with only more than [-] family members. They made up their minds to serve under the general's command.

Today's "Red Banner Army" system is very good in Daming. Even if the troops withdrawn from Shaanxi grow to ten thousand or twenty thousand households with 10,000+ people, they are boundless and boundless, and they don't need to cross mountains and ridges to bypass the customs defense.

The generals guarding the pass along the way recognized the banner of the "Red Banner Army" and believed that they would not be bandits trying to sneak into the pass. They all agreed to switch and let them go.

Seeing that General Zhenglu refuses to manage Shaanxi, the fierce tiger commander-in-chief, military preparation officer Wang Zhaokun, guerrilla general Xian Zhenji, etc., who entered Xi'an City and were stationed in Xi'an, all had an ominous premonition.

But everyone has their own ambitions, and they didn't make things difficult for the soldiers, civilians, officials and gentry who were about to leave Xi'an City, and even opened the door for convenience and sent people to contact the general of Tongguan to let them go.

Knowing the news of the evacuation of the "Red Banner Army" industry, many people in Xianyang City also dragged their families to join the team of thousands of miles away.

In order to ensure that the retreating Shaanxi population would not starve to death on the road, Sifang Express sent a large number of wheelbarrows and four-wheeled carriages to deliver food relief, and brought exhausted women, children and the elderly with them when they returned.

It is estimated that at least [-] Qin households will leave their hometowns and settle in the "Hanjiang Province" during this great retreat, among whom no less than [-] are young and middle-aged.

It is well known that Qin soldiers can fight fierce battles. With so many Qin people, thousands of Qin people can be selected into an army with a flick of a finger, and one day they will become members of the "Red Banner Army" and fight back to their hometowns.

If these [-] young and middle-aged Qin people stayed in Shaanxi, it is conservatively estimated that half of them would become rogues, and those who survived would definitely become veterans of future thieves.

Abandoning Shaanxi, a barren land with constant natural disasters, does not mean giving up all the soldiers and civilians. As long as there are ordinary people who are willing to follow the "Red Banner Army", even if they sell everything, they must ensure their food rations along the way.

The Qin people who refused to leave their hometowns are enough to show that they have not yet awakened at this point, and they are unwilling to trust the "Red Banner Army".

The next Central Plains strategy has to be adjusted, and it is essential to stick to Shanxi, Hanshui, and the Yangtze River.

Since the Ming Dynasty newly established the Hanjiang Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, the Hanjiang River, which was originally connected to the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, officially restored the old name of Hanshui. The purpose is of course to facilitate the distinction.

In the absence of a devastating blow to the bandits, ensuring that the military and civilians in this area can be self-sufficient in food and at the same time provide part of the military food is the most important thing.

Huang Han in the Henan area near the Yellow River and Shaanxi temporarily gave up his business, and was already thinking about withdrawing the "Red Banner Army" industry in Luoyang, Kaifeng and other big cities. As for whether it would cause panic again, Huang Han didn't care.

Because the bandits are so bad, in history, the Yellow River embankment was dug to submerge Kaifeng City with water instead of soldiers.

The "Red Banner Army" can fight bravely but can't resist the torrential flood. What if the rogues who are caught in a hurry face the "Red Banner Army" who rescued Kaifeng and Luoyang and dig the Yellow River?
In order to avoid the loss of the "Red Banner Army", and also to prevent the densely populated area from becoming the country of Qianli Ze.

Let the rogues make a fuss and let him go!As long as they are contained in Shaanxi, north of Henan, south of Shanxi, and east of Nanzhili, victory will be achieved.
