Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

534. Shaan bureau changes

It is said that once the power of the court is in hand, orders will be carried out. After finally obtaining military power from Kangxi, Yinzhen took drastic actions.On the one hand, although he had to allow Xinaha to transfer 6 green camps from central Sichuan to Henan, on the other hand, he secretly expanded the Shaanxi green camp. people.

However, although there is no shortage of men in Shaanxi to serve as soldiers and eat food, it is unrealistic to support these [-] strong men who do not work hard, as well as civil and military personnel from Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.

What?Isn't Sichuan completely lost? Why is there still a civil and military situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi?

That's right, there is indeed a Sichuan provincial government under the rule of the Qing Dynasty in Shaanxi today.

Among other things, at least Huaxian's position as governor of Sichuan has not been revoked, and his temporary office is still co-operating with Xihana's governor of Gansu and Shaanxi.The governor of Sichuan, Zu Liangbi, was promoted to General of Chengdu by the Qing court for his meritorious service in slaughtering the people in Hanzhong. Of course, since most of the Green Camp in Central Sichuan were transferred to Luoyang and Hebei, this Chengdu general could only live in the yamen of General Baxi in Xi’an. Handle some trivial matters here.

But in any case, the salaries of these officials in Sichuan Province still have to be borne by Shaanxi. Therefore, the finance of Western Province, which was barely maintained by the wealth of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, has actually reached the point of bankruptcy.A penny can't beat a hero, and Yinzhen, who doesn't want to be suffocated to death by urine, can only resort to the magic trick of increasing taxes.It's a pity that such a good strategy was resisted by Sihana.

Xihana is the governor who used to be a bachelor. Even though Yinzhen is an elder prince, he can't easily let the other party obey. Besides, Yinzhi, who is in charge of Shaanxi civil affairs, disagrees. After all, he has to bear the responsibility of relocating Shaanxi people to Jin We must not add fuel to the flames and force the Shaanxi people who have a tradition of rebellion to rebel.

Since the tax increase couldn't get support from top to bottom, Yinzhen had no choice but to use his brains on the vassal towns in Ganshan and Shanxi.

Yinzhi is very supportive of this, because the relocation of Shaanxi people also requires money, and the money can only be paid by those feudal towns that scrape the ground. As for whether they will pass the pressure on to the people below , perhaps from the point of view of the two princes, the people under the rule of the feudal town are already deserted people, and naturally they are not in their consideration---then again, it seems that the people in Hanzhong are decent and obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty, but the result seems Worse, so to say, "My Great Qing" loves the people like a son is actually more like a cold joke. It's just that there are too many people who say it, so it is regarded as a fact that cannot be changed

So from the end of the 44th year of Kangxi to the spring of the 45th year of Kangxi, messengers from all walks of life continued to flow on the Ganshan Road. He can only hang his head and promise to pay taxes to Yinzhen after the summer grain is collected.

Of course, these vassals must be extremely dissatisfied in their hearts. Maybe some people will invest in Huaxia because of this. It's just that it takes time to contact, and there will be no changes for a while, but Yinzhen has some kind of illusory illusion.

Counting on the gains from the massacre and looting of the people in Hanzhong, Xing'an (Ankang), Shangzhou and other places, Yinzhen, who could survive until the summer tax was put into the treasury, wrote to Kangxi to rectify the green camps in Sichuan and Shaanxi according to the new system of green camps.

As a result, before Kangxi's reply came, Yinzhen started to act on his own.

The green battalion of the new battalion system has 900 people per town, and Yinzhen's current military strength can make up ten towns.But now there are two governors, two generals, one governor, and one admiral in Guanzhong. According to the rules, these people must be assigned to the superintendent, the military, the care, and the promotion. It is not easy for Yinzhen to offend everyone.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yin Zhen decided to set up three battalions under the supervision standard and the military standard. Among them, the middle battalion is a general battalion with 500 people, and the left and right battalions are guerrilla battalions with 1000 people. In this way, each governor and general has 500 soldiers each. 500 people, the four generals command a total of 5000 green battalions; the tender and promotion are lower, and there are only two battalions respectively, of which the middle battalion is the general battalion, and the front battalion is the guerrilla battalion Camp, so, one bidding plus one promotion is [-] people.

After deducting the 500 people, there are still about 2000 people in Yinzhen, which can roughly be organized into seven new towns.Yinzhen named it Xi'an Town, Fengxiang Town, Tongzhou Town, Ganzhou Town, Binzhou Town, Yanzhou Town, and Gongchang Town after the names of some prefectures in Shaanxi and Gansu.As for the appointment of the generals of the towns and the deputy generals of the associations, Yinzhen still had a sense of clarity, knowing that he could not make the appointment without authorization, so as soon as the reorganization plan came out, he immediately reported it to Kangxi Shengjuan.However, Yinzhen also made a few suggestions, not specific candidates, but such as the best candidates for the general army, how many are from Sichuan and Shaanxi, and how many are transferred from the green camp to the new camp.

The Qing court’s reorganization of the Green Camp was based on the fact that more and more firearms appeared in the confrontation with the Xia Army and Russia. Therefore, it was necessary to establish a force that could adapt to the transition from running cold weapons and half-firearms to all-firearms. Equipped with a large number of artillery, bird guns and other weapons, this was something that Yinzhen, who was financially struggling, could not achieve in Ganshan. Therefore, he also made appropriate adjustments according to the location.

Out of the mentality of being wary of the generals of the green battalion, Yinzhen gritted his teeth and continued to deploy red barbarian cannons with a longer range in the supervision bids, military bids, care bids, and promotion bids, but the number of equipment was reduced from fifteen for each team. When it comes to five guns per team, the entire Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion has a total of thirty long-range artillery pieces with a range of more than half a mile (clearing).Xu Zhen is equipped with short-range artillery such as older general guns in the towns and towns, and the number reaches eight to nine for each town.

In addition to the slightly reduced artillery configuration, the white soldiers in each town were expanded from two teams per (guerrilla) battalion to three teams, and the bird gun team was reduced from two teams per battalion to one team per battalion, and a team of archers was maintained to supplement the shortage of bird guns .As for the cavalry, it will be expanded accordingly. Not only the pro-military troops of the middle battalion who supervise the bid, the military bid, the bidder, the bidder, and the town bid are all organized into the cavalry, but also the pro-armies of the deputy generals of the associations are also organized into the cavalry. It has a total of more than [-] cavalry and mounted infantry, accounting for more than [-]% of the total force.

Yinzhen's reorganization plan was still going on, and Xia Jun occupied Luoyang and pushed his troops to the front line of Tongguan.

In order to resist the Xia army's possible knocking on the pass, Yinzhen mobilized Fengxiang and Qianzhou towns to station in Tongguan. At the same time, he ordered Shaanxi governor Jiang Qi to lead the bid promotion and Binzhou town and Xi'an town to station in Tongzhou as backup. The two towns of Zhouzhou and Tongzhou were stationed in Xi'an as the general reserve team, and the remaining supervision bids, military bids, and care bids were used to deter other directions.

Although Yinzhen's defense plan was well done and well-structured, after the Xia army took control of Shan County, they may not continue to attack.

Of course, this was due to the poor food roads, and it was also due to the restraint of the Hebei Qing army in Huaiqing, Weihui and other places, but in any case, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, which was gearing up and eager to try, punched in the air. The feeling of wrong force made me feel oppressed from top to bottom.However, no matter how aggrieved, Yinzhen was not yet bold enough to take the initiative to regain Henan, so the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp fell into a long-term confrontation with the Xia Army's Henan camp.

In fact, Yinzhen, who only knows how to talk about war on paper, never thought that after the main force of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was restrained by the First Division of the Xia Army, bad news would soon come from other directions.

On the second day of May in the eighth year of Huaxia Wucheng, the outpost of the Xichuan Legion of the Xia Army after controlling Xing'an and Shangzhou successively crossed Heilongkou and appeared in the southwest of Lantian. The defensive strategy of using the Qinling Mountains to defend the southern border of Guanzhong has a fatal loophole.Affected by this, Yinzhen had to transfer the two towns of Fuzhou and Tongzhou to Lantian, Huxian, Zhouzhi and other places, thus reducing the support to the front line of Tongguan.

On July 39th of the eighth year of Wucheng in Huaxia, it seems that the Qing army has been tied up by the Xia army. Wu Hong, the Yulin Road and Yulin General Soldier of the Qing Dynasty, violated Yinzhen's request in August of the [-]th year of Kangxi to raise food and pay for each town. He beheaded Yinzhen's envoy who went to urge grain for his own use of the oracle, and refused to deliver summer grain and tax to Yinzhen.

Wu Hong's actions quickly aroused the echo of Wang Yingtong, the prefect of Yan'an and deputy general of Yan'an. Wang Yingtong also expelled Yinzhen's envoy and announced that he would not lose or pay tribute to Guanzhong.However, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses in Yan'an Town, and self-protection is not enough, so Wang Yingtong quickly sent someone to contact Wu Hong. In the face of the common enemy, the two decided to join forces, so Yulin Town quickly sent 3000 troops into Yan'an , to assist Wang Yingtong in resisting possible crusades from Guanzhong.

The actions of the two vassals naturally aroused Yinzhen's anger. In order to avoid a chain reaction, Yinzhen immediately decided to suppress.So he sent Zhao Hongxie, who had just taken office as the commander-in-chief of Xi'an Town, to send troops to Yan'an.Although Zhao Hongxie quickly advanced to the city of Yan'an and blocked the soldiers and horses of the two towns in the city, but in this way, the financial resources of Shaanxi and Gansu were even more scarce, and it was inevitable that Tongguan's defense on the front line would be weakened again.

At this time, Yinzhi also saw that Ganshan and Shanxi were no longer defendable, so he used the trick of golden cicadas to escape their shells, and crossed the Yellow River from Hejin into Shanxi under the pretext of personally escorting the refugees from northern Shaanxi.Since then, Yinzhi has been staying in Jiangzhou, Shanxi, only relying on some messengers to remotely handle Shaanxi civil affairs.

Zu Liangbi, the grandson of escape expert and "flying general" Zu Dashou, also felt that Shaanxi was in danger, so he decided to use his ancestral kung fu to leave without saying goodbye, and led his military standard to follow Yinzhi's footsteps and retreat into Shanxi---of course the Qing court It wasn't the Ming court with poor organization and decisiveness, so Zu Liangbi also prepared an excuse in advance. As a general in Chengdu, he asked Kangxi to go to Hebei to command Yinti's Green Camp in Sichuan Province.

After the title book was rushed to Beijing, Zu Liangbi led his troops eastward without waiting for a reply, crossing the Yellow River before Yinzhen understood.

Hearing the news, Yinzhen, who was devastated, immediately read Zu Liangbi's book. As a result, Kangxi decided to deal with the matter severely in order to boost the morale of the Eight Banners. So Zu Liangbi fled to Jinzhou, was dismissed and arrested, and then sent to Beijing. Chopped, fell to a tragic end.

Yinzhen finally breathed out a bad breath, but it didn't help to change the situation he was in, even a bigger crisis would hit him in the near future
