Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 58 Double Happiness
For the [-] miners, Zhu Yixi quickly organized them in the form of Wu, Shi, Team, Ba Zong, and Qian Zong.

Captain, also known as whistle chief.

And the general manager manages more than 400 people, which is equivalent to a modern battalion commander.

Basically, 4000 people are divided into three thousand general commanders.

For Mr. Qian, Zhu Yixi personally appointed them, and the rest of the middle and low-level officers were appointed by dozens of people from the epidemic prevention soldiers.

They took weapons, armor, and a group of people from the craftsman's camp, breaking through the number of six thousand.

As a personal bodyguard, Sun Lin was amazed.

As for Sun Xuan, she opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the calm Zhu Yixi, feeling unbelievable in her heart.

In this way, there are 6000 people in hand?
Zhu Yixi naturally doesn't know how the two young people feel, but he is quite interested in the giant Yan Guochao:
"Guochao, with your physique, it's a bit inferior to be a personal guard. After a while, you will be of use to you."

"Hey, thank you inspector!"

Yan Guochao looked back at the gradually blurred city of Xi'an, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a silly smile: "It's great to be able to survive and escape from the mine."

Zhu Yixi nodded. With this physique, he is a good player in basketball, but now, he is also a sharp weapon in charge.

However, you still have to build a close-fitting heavy armor for him, which is a full-fledged humanoid tank.

The group of people left in a hurry, but with the initial establishment of officers in the mining army, the system was in place, and the speed was guaranteed. After four days, they arrived at Tongguan.

"Where do you get so many people from?"

Li Jizu was startled, and enviously said: "There are still a lot of bird guns, tsk tsk, you can be regarded as capable."

"The governor is the bottom of the box."

Zhu Yixi explained softly: "With these 6000 people, we should be able to defend Tongguan."

At present, there are only 3000 people in Tongguan. When his 6000 people came, his status was immediately reversed.

Instead he had the majority.

Li Jizu's tone is much lower, but the relationship is still close.

Zhu Yixi is also quite attracted to this person, the size of these 3000 people is also a piece of meat!

"Remember, we have to do it quickly, as long as stabbing and stabbing, these two moves will do. We must make them the best shields for musketeers."

Zhu Yixi repeatedly emphasized to Zhu Meng.

Immediately, while he was practicing the mining army and practicing goose steps, on the other hand, he kept sending out spies, wanting to know the news of Ruzhou.

……

And Sun Chuanting on the front line did not disappoint.

Under the passionate collision of tens of thousands of people, the city of Ruzhou was vulnerable, and the clothes were all ruined. The new intruder had to leave the city. Qin Jun won this victory and became the master of Ruzhou.

However, Qiu Zhitao, the servant of the military government, secretly came to the stable and met the steward who raised the horses.

It's just that the environment in front of me is uncomfortable no matter what.

The human body is used as a trough, the internal organs are emptied, and fodder is put in. The horses continue to eat, and the flesh and blood are mixed with the fodder, making the corners of the horse's mouth tinged with blood.

It's like hell.

"My lord!" The housekeeper came to pay his respects with a face full of bruises.

Qiu Zhitao turned his head. He was already used to this. He said to the housekeeper hidden in the stable: "You pass this letter to Qin Jun, and it must be handed over to Governor Sun."

"Yes, young master." The housekeeper nodded fiercely: "The intruder will definitely be destroyed."

"I'm determined to avenge my grandfather by breaking into the thief and dying."

Qiu Zhitao said viciously, his face full of resentment.

Suddenly, he felt his ears nodding, turned around and saw, at some point, a war horse came close to his ear and began to lick it.

"Ok?"

"My lord, the thieves are really not human. They often pierce human ears and mix them into the water. So when these mules and horses get close to people, they think about drinking human blood!"

The butler said in a deep voice.

"A thief is not a man."

After leaving a word, Qiu Zhitao shook his head and walked quickly.

He had been in a prisoner camp, and he had seen many such horrific situations. He was only amazed, but not afraid.

All men over fifteen and under forty will be plundered as slaves, and for every 10,000 people, there will be 200,000 slaves.

There is no joy in the army, and it is almost common for ordinary people to have their ears cut off, their eyes picked out, their fingers amputated, their feet broken, their hearts cut open, their bodies sawed off, and so on.

Even when the thieves were in the headquarters, they were not allowed to carry luggage and go out with light clothes. In order to ensure the rapid transfer of the army, all soldiers' wives gave birth to babies, and the babies would all drown.

"How can such a thief army be the destiny?"

While Sun Chuanting was planning his actions after the Battle of Ruzhou, suddenly his own soldiers came to report that a merchant from Xiangyang had come to see him urgently.

The person who came was Qiu Zhitao's housekeeper, and he handed the wax pill with both hands.

After reading the letter, Sun Chuanting couldn't help frowning and smiling: "As expected, Qiu Zhitao will not disappoint me."

What he said was exactly the strategy that he said before to agitate Xiangyang to break into the army's heart.

In addition, it also said that Li Zicheng's main force had been waiting for a long time in Xiangcheng and Jiaxian.

"So-and-so, we must wipe out the bandits in Xiangcheng, and wipe out this biggest group of bandits."

Sun Chuanting wrote a reply letter in his own hand and handed it to the housekeeper, repeatedly asking him to be careful all the way.

Immediately afterwards, he asked his staff to make up a memorial, listing the illustrious achievements of this exit, with high fighting spirit and optimism brimming between the lines.

The next use of troops will be in Baozhou.

Baozhou is close to Jia County and Xiangcheng, so its location is extremely important.

The state shepherd Chen Kexin was loyal to Li Zicheng and defended the city with all his heart, but under the strong attack of the Qin army regardless of the cost, the city could only be destroyed in the end.

Obviously, Qiu Zhitao guessed correctly, Li Zicheng's main force was in the area of ​​Xiangcheng and Jiaxian.

However, what Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that Li Zicheng set up a large number of earthen fortresses, tied up his pockets, and waited for his arrival long ago.

For a time, hundreds of thousands of troops stood against the front line, and the barracks stretched for dozens of miles, with no end in sight.

Early September.

The city of Beijing can be described as double happiness.

Emperor Chongzhen first received a secret letter from Wu Sangui's flying cavalry, saying that Huang Taiji, the "captive chieftain", died of a sudden illness on the ninth day of August.

His six-year-old son Fulin came to the throne, and Prince Rui Dorgon and Prince Zheng Jierhalang assisted in the administration.

The political situation of "Ku Ting" was unstable and disputes continued.

Afterwards, he received Sun Chuanting's victory report from Ruzhou, and he couldn't help taking pictures of the imperial case, excitedly saying:
"Good!! Good!! God bless Daming! God bless Daming!"

Thinking of this, he burst into tears, and suddenly lost his composure.

Subsequently, Chongzhen ordered the cabinet ministers and the officials of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households, and Ministry of Industry to come to discuss matters.

Emperor Chongzhen circulated Sun Chuanting's memorabilia among all his officials, and said with complacency:
"Sun Dushi has repeatedly reported victories in battles, and the thieves' fall is only a short period of time. What do you think?"

Feng Yuanbiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, as Sun Chuanting's friend, couldn't help but look worried:
"The bandits outnumber me several times, but this time they will be defeated at the first touch, in fact, they are using weak soldiers to lure the enemy.

The supervisor rushed forward rashly, and the minister was deeply worried. "

Zhang Fengxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also persuaded: "I implore Your Majesty to deliver the decree as soon as possible, and warn Sun Chuanting not to go to war."

Seeing this, Chief Assistant Zhang Yan hurried over.

But Chongzhen made himself feel bored, so he had to order all the ministers to step down in embarrassment.

As for letting Sun Chuanting withdraw his troops, Chongzhen had no such intentions.

This is the best opportunity to clear up the internal turmoil and refugees, how can it be wasted?
It was near dusk, Chongzhen stepped out of Qianqing Palace, the whole palace courtyard was extremely quiet, but seeing a slanting sun shining from the west, the sky turned into a blurred brilliance that sometimes thickened and faded.

Chongzhen thought it was a good omen, and prayed silently: "Sun Chuanting will definitely win! The fortune of the country will definitely turn around!"
