Blood from Daming

Chapter 833
Yan Sanniang discussed with Ms. Chen and Xue Si about rescuing Xue Susu. Ms. Chen has always been cautious and always looked after Yan Sanniang. Xue Si was unwavering in protecting the young master's interests. Therefore, Ms. Chen and Xue Si both expressed that they would send troops to rescue as soon as possible. Xue Susu, so Yan Sanniang ordered Xue Si to go out with the cavalry of Xue's army near Hangzhou.

Yan Sanniang said that it was all the cavalry of the Xue family army in Hangzhou. Because Qiao Guoliang's department was protecting Miss Xu, the holy sword of the jade girl in Lianghuai, Ji Tianen's musketeer team went to Datong Mansion, and the forces of Wang Defa, Min Chenglin, Wan Jianxin, Wu Bing, and Qian Gongming had to defend The stability of the Hangzhou area can only come from Xue Zhuang's mobile force.

Xue Zhuang's armed forces expanded independently in Xue Si's hands. From the time when Chongzhen evacuated the capital in three years, it has grown to 8000 people today, including [-] cavalry. After all, pursuit requires speed, and infantry can't use it at all.

The next day (August 4000th, the sixth year of Chongzhen), on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xue Si mobilized all the cavalry including Xue Siyuan and Xue Dahan's personal soldiers, including the [-] troops of Qin Zhehua, the head of the Baisheng Hall of Xue's Army who took the initiative to ask for a battle. Missing the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Sanniang specially asked Du Fugui, the shopkeeper of "Sanjiang Huitong", to send two big mooncakes to every soldier who went out. (Shopkeeper Xiao Du has been transferred to Taiwan Island for another appointment according to Xue Jiajun's secrecy law because of suspected corruption.)
Yan Sanniang considered the complex situation of the officers and soldiers along the Yangtze River, and sent an assistance report to the Xue family army in Jiangzhou, Shanxi, which is the closest to Hangzhou, and asked Jiangzhou to convey to Datong and Mizhi, hoping that the Xue family army in the north would fully support Fourth Uncle Xue and support the entry into the hinterland of the Central Plains .

In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, after Hong Chengchou returned to Shaanxi from Datong, he began to calm down and try his best to wipe out the peasant army in Shaanxi. Chief Soldier Wang Chengen, Ningxia General Soldier He Huchen and other troops first attacked Shen Yikui's remaining troops, led by Red Army Friends, Li Dusi, Du San and others.Together with Hao Lin'an and Liu Liuhe, the leaders of the civil uprising in Huanqing, they stationed in Zhenyuan and their forces were very strong.

Surrounded by officers and soldiers on all sides, Zhenyuan's rebels couldn't stand it any longer, so they retreated to Dongxichuan, Tiejiaocheng, Lubaobao and other places. , broke into Fengxiang mansion by way, the governor of Shaanxi practiced state affairs, and urgently ordered Wang Zhenqi, the soldier of Guyuan, to guard the passes, and Xu Ruhan, the garrison of Pingfu, to guard the passes of Jingzhou to prevent the rebels from fleeing. Governor Hong Chengchou immediately went to Qingyang to command the battle from Fuzhou.At that time, Cao Wenzhao led the Lintao soldiers, and He Huchen led the Ningxia soldiers to the reinforcements. The two sides fought dozens of times before and after fierce battles in Western Australia, north of Zhenyuan. people.The battle ended with a complete victory for the officers and troops, and the imperial court called it the "Victory of Western Australia".

Hong Chengchou, the trilateral governor who freed up his hands and feet, wiped out the peasant army in Shaanxi from north to south. Cao Wenzhao, who was given great power in Lintao, became the vanguard to wipe out the peasant army. At the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao led his headquarters to pursue Lien Chan Lamplighter Zhao Shengbu, who had lost a losing streak, entered the lair of Lamplighter Zhao Shengbu in Xishilou, Shanxi, and attacked the lamplighter Zhao Shengbu from a long distance.Zhao Sheng got up from the bed in a hurry, ready to fight "naked and holding a knife", he was hacked to death by the influx of officers and soldiers, and the entire army of Zhao Sheng was wiped out.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, led Yang Jiamo, the commander-in-chief of Gansu, Yang Lin, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, and He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, to attack Fugu Wang Ziyong and Suide Wang Zhaoxi and other ministries. Du Wenhuan took credit for killing Yanchuan refugees, and was impeached by Zhang Chengzhao during the incident. Du Wenhuan has been imprisoned and dismissed) King Zijinliang couldn't resist for himself, so he immediately retreated to Suidezhou to join Wang Zhaoxi, and sent someone to contact Gao Guiying. There were as many as 1 people. Gao Guiying saw that the army was powerful and had to stick to the Gaojia army stronghold. There was nothing he could do to help Wang Ziyong. Wang Ziyong had no choice but to fight and lose repeatedly. , Lihua, Yilieyan, Shangtianhou, Yatouzi, etc. fled to the south of Shanxi. Prince Wang Zhaoxi died in the rebellion. When Wang Ziyong fled into Shanxi, more than [-] people were left people.

On the southern front of Shaanxi, the 24th Battalion Rebels including Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Buzhanni Zhang Cunmeng, Chuangjiang Li Zicheng, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Luorucai took advantage of Hong Chengchou's advance in the north, and responded to each other to develop their own strength. When Hong Chengchou went south to suppress, The 24th Battalion of Rebels headed by Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang has nearly 30 troops. If there is no food restriction, it will not be a problem to double the rebels.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, did not make trouble with Gao's army stronghold this time, but quickly went south to Xi'an to fight against the 24th Battalion of rebels headed by Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang. Surrounded by Zhang Cunmeng, the [-] army was destroyed once. When Zhang Cunmeng fled to Guanshanling, Long County, he was overtaken by the Ming general Sima Ke's troops and wiped out Zhang Cunmeng's troops. killed.

As the 24th Battalion of Rebels, including Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Buzhanni Zhang Cunmeng, Chuangjiang Li Zicheng, Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Luorucai, were scattered and fought, they were defeated by Hong Chengchou, and more than half of the 24th Battalion of rebels lost. Hong Chengchou sent He Renlong, Li Bei, and Ai Wannian. The officers and troops of Yulin Town went south, and the imperial court also dispatched Shijie Xuanfu envoy from Sichuan to guard the western part of Shaanxi. To the west of Henan and the north of Chu, it is considered the center of Yunyang, and various ministries intersect between Henan, Chu, Sichuan and Shaanxi

In the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, who replaced Wang Ziyong as the leader of the rebel army, led his troops to break Fangxian and Baokang into Sichuan. In February, he attacked Kuizhou and broke Daning.In June, Yingxiang Qibing went out of Taihang, went westward along Motianling to Wu'an, defeated Zuo Liangyu's army, the general of the Ming Dynasty, took advantage of the victory to capture Huaiqing and Zhangde prefectures, and attacked Weihui directly.In July, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong joined forces in Hebei.

Zhang Xianzhong was originally the most powerful battalion in Wang Ziyong's 36th Battalion. Because of his sin and the 36th Battalion's rebel army, he led the army to fight alone. He moved to Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Sichuan and other places, and repeatedly defeated the official army .The team has also grown from a few thousand people to more than 4 people, becoming the most powerful force in the rebel army.Played a pivotal role in the battle with the official army. [
Li Zicheng led the old eighth team to break away from Zhang Cunmeng, who was not sticky in the mud, and gradually emerged in the rebel army with his toughness and skill. From the fifth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng attached himself to Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chongzhen, and became one of the most combative teams under Gao Yingxiang. Li Zicheng's reputation is far inferior to that of Zhang Xianzhong, the famous Eight Great Kings.

In August of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other thirteen rebels fought against Ming general Tang Jiuzhou in Niuwei, Liuquan, and Menghu villages in Henan. At this time, Hong Chengchou's army had entered Henan to pursue the rebels. Chao has already caught up with Gao Yingxiang and other thirteen rebels.

Xue Si led 3000 soldiers of the Xue family army, fighting the flag of the Zhejiang government army, directly passed through the occupied area of ​​Wenxiangjiao, and entered the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, where he met Xue Zong's troops. Xue Zong led more than [-] troops from the headquarters The men and horses guarded the main roads and prevented Xue Si's troops from advancing northward.

Xue Si had no choice but to give up meeting his young wife Ren Ruping in Henan Mansion, and turned to Nanyang Mansion to Wuchang, Hubei to intercept. The Ministry arrived in Wuchang, Hubei, and Li Zhengman, the king of Annandong Mantu, was still on his way to Wuchang.

However, Ren Ruping's troops who followed Li Zhengman were not as smooth as Xue Si. Li Zhengman's troops escorted Xue Susu, sometimes by boat and sometimes on horseback, and fled to Henan Province in Henan Province. Zuo Liangyu, the deputy general of the Henan government, was greedy for the huge profits of the Annan barbarians, and his own troops were far superior to Ren Ruping's department, so he encircled and wiped out Ren Ruping's department in Ruyang, Henan.

On August 24th, Zuo Liangyu gathered a total of 8000 people from the nearby civilian army cottages to ambush Ren Ruping's troops in the northeast of Runing. , but Zuo Liangyu was already ready to go, and he was greedy to let Ruping's troops lead the horses, so he launched an attack blinded by profit.

Ren Ruping's pursuit along the way is also full of hardships. Fortunately, Ren Ruping is experienced in the world and has avoided the army and rogues. Ambushing herself, Ren Ruping was caught off guard.

Ren Ruping sacrificed more than 100 soldiers in a face-to-face meeting. Ren Ruping was heartbroken. Facing an army four times larger than her own, Ren Ruping knew that she still had a mission, so she gritted her teeth and gave up the desire to fight with the army. She quickly organized her men to head northeast. Breaking through, the Ren family army threw [-] grenades in the shortest possible time.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Ren Ruping led the Ren family army to blow up a gap in the northeast of the official army. Ren Ruping's troops broke through the gap, but Ren Ruping sacrificed nearly three hundred soldiers here. , Secretly said that if this hatred does not protect me, Ren Ruping vowed not to be a human being.

Zuo Liangyu, who had made a small gain, is now in a daze. After a long time, he confronted the Xue family army. Where did those barbarians offend the Xue family army? Manzi was tricked into making such a big enemy as Xue Jiajun.

General Luo Dai reported to Zuo Liangyu that Zuo Liangyu's main force was defending in the northeast, and this was the most likely direction for Ren Ruping's troops to escape. As a result, Ren Ruping broke out from the northeast, leaving Zuo Liangyu's coalition forces with 8000 troops and 800 killed. Among them, there are 500 troops of Zuo Liangyu's direct lineage. Zuo Liangyu listened to the report from Luo Dai, his face was uglier than crying.

When the general Luo Dai mentioned the spoils, Zuo Liangyu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. In a fairly beautiful counterattack, he only got more than 30 corpses, more than 80 horses, and the pitiful weapons and battles that were already scarce. More than 80 war horses were able to vent their anger, not to mention double digits.

Zuo Liangyu scolded: "His grandma's, this Xue family army is really worthless."

General Luo Dai was stunned and asked: "My lord, ah, are we fighting the Xue family army?"
