The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 823
It is Gao Yingxiang's ultimate goal to preserve the strength of the rebel army and strive to cede the land for the king and fight against the Ming Dynasty.

He would not launch a general offensive unless he starved the Ming army in Xi'an, and he was very satisfied with his son-in-law Li Zicheng's answer.

He said: "The reason why this king is willing to spend time in the city of Xi'an is to mobilize more Ming troops, so that the Qing army can annihilate more Ming troops, and force the Emperor of Ming to make up his mind to dispatch the 'Red Banner Army' to help .

Let us lure and not send out, your army will still stay in Shaanxi and will not leave. The Qing army's voluntary retreat that the Ming court expected will come to naught. Of course they know when the food in Xi'an will run out.

This king guesses that the Ming court is already dispatching troops to rescue the feudal king."

Seeing that Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's analysis was sound and reasonable, Fan Wencheng did not refute it and asked:

"I wonder if the King of Qin and the King of Xianyang have thought about how to deal with the reinforcements with the 'Red Banner Army' as the main force? Their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and they can really beat ten against the rebels."

Gao Yingxiang said nonchalantly: "This king will settle the accounts based on the fact that one counts as ten, if the 'Red Banner Army' has more than [-] troops, this king will run away with his subordinates, and we can hide if we can't be provoked.

If their number is less than [-], this king will make up his mind to fight the 'Red Banner Army' to the death.

I believe that the Qing army will not stand idly by. If our two armies are united, if we can't even fight the [-] "Red Banner Army", we will have nothing to do in the future. "

Fan Wencheng clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "King Qin speaks quickly, I admire him to the utmost, but I need to correct him.

The 'Red Banner Army' came with 3 horses, and the rebels and the Qing army were of one mind and one mind, and they could completely surround and wipe them out. At that time, the rebel army would be able to obtain the excellent equipment of the 'Red Banner Army', and their strength would go up to a new level. "

Gao Yingxiang said very high-key: "That's it, even if there are [-] 'Red Banner Army' who come to rescue, we will not back down, and we will do our best to wipe them out in Shaanxi."

Fan Wencheng's ultimate goal is to share the worries of his master Hongguo and unite with the rogues to fight against the "Red Banner Army" in Shaanxi, which can better relieve the pressure faced by Liaodong.

He was very bad, and he knew that as long as the rogues fought against the "Red Banner Army", Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng would not be allowed to go if they wanted to fight or leave.

Because the maneuverability of the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled, if the rogues dare not give their best, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry will abandon them and run away.

If the rogues entangled the "Red Banner Army" and fought stalemate, it would be a golden opportunity waiting for a golden opportunity. At that time, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry suddenly broke out and won a shocking victory, breaking the myth of the "Red Banner Army" being undefeated.

So what if the rogues are defeated by the "Red Banner Army"?After mobilizing the "Red Banner Army" into Shaanxi, he, Fan Wencheng, made a great contribution and was worthy of his master's favor.

Seeing that Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other big bosses of the rogues would at least have no dissatisfaction before capturing Xi'an, Fan Wencheng resigned and went back. If you are short of money and food, just wait for the good news.

Seeing that spring is about to bloom, Gao Yingxiang has the expectation of occupying Shaanxi and becoming a king himself, and intends to manage this place. After he announced an order generously, many poor people were excited.

The circulation of "Red Flag Daily" is increasing day by day, and a lot of rogues have been collected, and Gao Yingxiang also reads and reads frequently.

"Red Banner Army" An Min's demeanor Gao Yingxiang has long been familiar with, and he plans to follow suit.

He announced in a high-profile way that each household would be given [-] mu of land to cultivate, and the harvest harvested by the households in autumn would be added to the rebel army, and the [-] mu of land would be given to everyone for free. take back.

At this time, the population loss in Shaanxi was too much. They died from war, fleeing, emigrating, and starvation. Ten acres of cultivation.

Ever since, too many hungry people took the seeds and went to find fields with guaranteed water sources.

The poor people certainly know the importance of the harvest, and it is estimated that the spring plowing will start in a dozen days, but it is not known whether it will be their turn to harvest after they have plowed.

Huang Han didn't expect Gao Yingxiang to survive due to the absence of Sun Chuanting. This rebellious boy is good at learning, and he actually realized by himself a political program similar to equalizing the land and exempting taxes.

If the survivors in Shaanxi could really get half of a season's harvest as rations, the tens of thousands of families who got [-] acres of land would probably not recognize the Ming court even more, but would recognize the intruders who gave them the land.

After the Ming army entered Shaanxi to suppress bandits, it became even more unpopular, and it would be even more difficult for Chongzhen to recover the lost land.

After hearing the news, Fan Wencheng quickly negotiated with Jierhalang and Azig, asking them not to send out cavalry to plunder the villagers in the mountains.

As long as food can be obtained, the Qing army can persist in Shaanxi for more time, and the longer the delay, the better for the Qing Dynasty.

During this time, Jierhalang and Azige had Gao Yingxiang's supply of food a lot easier. They agreed not to harass the villagers, and they specialized in dealing with clan armed villages and prefectures and counties that were still in the hands of the Ming army.

Next, the Qing army and the rogue bandits jointly took action, and more than a dozen cities and villages in Shaanxi that were still holding on were lost. The rogue bandits not only obtained a large number of weapons and armor, but also collected large and small artillery and hundreds of guns.

The Mongolian cavalry did not know how to play with firearms, and there were many bandits who knew how to use firearms. Gao Yingxiang used the captured firearms to form a heavy barracks, and his confidant general Liu Zhe was in charge of this team.

With heavy weapons to participate in the attack, Gao Yingxiang is full of confidence in the future, and it is not too long before he conquers Xi'an, occupies the entire Shaanxi and cedes it as king!
The trump card in the hands of Xiong Wencan, governor of the five provinces, is Zuo Liangyu, the "thief general".

This kind of army has no choice but to disband, because when it was formed, there was a shortage of food and pay, and it was maintained entirely by Lu Xiangsheng's personal charm and dominance.

It was also because Lu Xiangsheng shared weal and woe with the soldiers and went hungry together that many soldiers were moved and were willing to die with them.

The main source of troops for the "Tianxiong Army" came from the three prefectures of Daming, Guangping, and Shunde. When Lu Xiangsheng left, half of them chose to disband and go home, and some of them were recruited by Shi Kunshan.

Although Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong, and Xu Changyong, the three generals who defected from the Qing army and returned to the Ming Dynasty, although they got the official positions of lieutenant generals, they did not get replenished.

Their men and horses are also badly disciplined. In the past two years, they have been fighting bandits and robbers in Henan and Zhongdu, but they have accumulated a fortune, and they have seven or eight thousand men and horses.

Zu Kuan performed well under Xiong Wencan's account. He beheaded three well-known and surnamed bandit leaders, beheading more than a thousand, and was commended by Xiong Wencan to be recommended by Xiong Wencan as the commander-in-chief.
