[Chapter 456] Rebellion? Of course not! He is a great hero!

(0456)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

In fact, if Lin Danhan's own strength was weakened too much, it would be absolutely no good for him to control the internal people. To be honest, if there were no 50,000 cavalrymen as a force to deter him, many people would not be convinced by Lin Danhan. I guess Lin Danhan himself understood this very well. Even if he went crazy, he would not fight the White Army to the death. As long as the casualties of the cavalry reached a certain level, he would have to retreat.

This is the battle at Baihuze. Due to the large number of casualties, Lin Danhan did not continue to fight even with reinforcements from the follow-up troops. He directly brought all the *** cavalry and returned to Guihua City. His follow-up troops were attacked by the Diaoqi Army and the Eagle Cavalry on the way to Baihuze, and also lost a lot of people.

At that time, Lin Danhan was anxious and angry, wishing to chop Xu Xingxia into pieces with one knife to vent his anger. Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a while, he still had to give up. He knew very well that if he continued to fight, he would die more people. Xu Xingxia was not afraid of death, but he was afraid. It took an opportunity to attack Xu Xingxia. Once the opportunity was missed, he had to wait for the next time.

If you take a step back, you will fight to the death. The White-Clothed Army will never be afraid of fighting to the death. The White-Clothed Army and the *** people also died in battle, and the White-Clothed Army's replenishment speed is definitely much faster than the *** people. The White-Clothed Army's replenishment will take only one or two months to add 30,000 people. However, it is difficult for Lin Danhan to replenish 30,000 people, and it is estimated that it will not be able to replenish it within three to five years.

In fact, what Xu Xingxia is most afraid of is such a war of attrition. Xu Xingxia was too calm when fighting for consumption between the nomadic peoples and the Han army. Even if the war loss ratio between the two sides was locked to one to one, the white-clothed army could easily consume all their opponents. Even the Tatars with the largest population is estimated to be half of the Shaanxi Province, and the population cannot exceed five million. As for the population of *** people, one million is already the highest.

"Chi Hu!"

At the same time, Xu Xingxia also decided to expand the Shooting Army led by Chi Hu from the original brigade to five brigades and ten squadrons, with 6,250 soldiers. In addition, the officers also had about 8,000 people. Chi Hu's main task was to control the direction of Yansui Town and block any attacks the court tried to launch from this direction.

Originally, Xu Xingxia was preparing to go to Yulin City and personally command the troops to attack Yulin City. However, with Mo Rigen's arrival, his plan was obviously going to change. He had to stay in Ningxia Town and command the troops to fully fight Mo Rigen. The task of conquering Yulin City was handed over to Chi Hu. Xu Xingxia believed that it would not take long to capture Yulin City. No matter how strong the city wall was, it was a scum in front of the explosives pack!

After taking over Yulin City, Chi Hu's main task was to monitor the movements of the government troops in Shanxi and prevent the government troops from entering Shaanxi from Shanxi. In the past, the government troops from entering Shaanxi were all marching through Yansui Town. It seemed that when the rebellion of Bobai was pacified, the imperial army drove from Yansui Town to Ningxia Town. Now, the white-clothed army was blocking here, and the imperial army could not move. If the official army had to come, there was no choice but to start a war.

The White-Clothed Army was mainly composed of the Shooting Army led by Chi Hu, and the Leopard Cavalry led by Mao Shisan, and the Qing Cavalry Army led by Gao Yingxiang, had a total force of about 11,000 people. Such a strong force was hoarded in Yansui Town, which was definitely a fatal shock to the surrounding Ming army. They dared not act easily. In fact, if the official army did not have an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, it would be impossible for the White-Clothed Army to pose a substantial threat to the Tens of Thousands of People!

However, the main task of the Leopard Cavalry is to monitor the movements of Xi'an Prefecture. In the future, their main role will be the general reserve team of the battle. If the battlefield in Ningxia Town is needed, they will be transferred to the battlefield in Ningxia Town. The same is true for the Qing Cavalry led by Gao Yingxiang. If the war is needed, they must be transferred to the battlefield in Ningxia Town.

As for the other troops of the White Army, they were concentrated in the southern part of Ningxia Town and used as mobile troops. Xu Xingxia's own command center also moved from Ningxia City to Xuanhe Fort on the edge of the Yellow River. This is the front line against Morigen.

...

Xi'an Prefecture, north of Jingyang.

Mao Shisan held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully looked at the wilderness in the south.

With the gradual improvement of glass technology, several old craftsmen in Ningxia City Craftshop used the Qianli Mirror seized by Xu Xingxia as a sample to carefully study the mystery and quickly solved all technical problems. Soon after, more and more Qianli Mirrors appeared in the hands of officers at all levels of the White Army, and Mao Shisan also obtained it. All officers above the Leopard Cavalry Squadron Captain were given Qianli Mirrors. These days, the biggest interest of the officers is to think about what they saw in the Qianli Mirror. Their feelings are naturally very novel.

Wang Xia has returned to Ningxia Town to command the Eagle Cavalry. Now, there is only Mao Shisan, the senior commander of the White Army on the front line. He was originally a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Affairs Department and was qualified to attend the meeting. Unfortunately, he was far away from the front line and could not return, so the meeting had to ask for leave. Speaking of which, since he entered Yansui Town, his life has been very good. With a Leopard Cavalry Army with only 1,500 people, he turned Yansui Town upside down and led his army to threaten Xi'an Prefecture, which scared Xi'an Prefecture to a scattered mess.

Jingyang is only a few dozen miles away from Xi'an Prefecture, and the cavalry can reach it with one charge. Such a distance is very beneficial for the Leopard Cavalry. If there is any movement in Xi'an Prefecture, the Leopard Cavalry can reach it in an instant. Due to the threat of the Leopard Cavalry, the city gates of Xi'an Prefecture have been closed for more than 20 days and have never been opened. You can imagine what the people inside feel like.

Mao Shisan once thought about finding an opportunity to make a bigger noise in Xi'an Prefecture. Unfortunately, Xu Xingxia's order came. The content of the order was not to stimulate Xi'an Prefecture too much, so as not to let the court fail to get out of power. However, don't let the reinforcements from Xi'an Prefecture come out and go to reinforce Yulin City. Anyway, the Leopard Cavalry has taken Xi'an Prefecture to look forward to. People inside are not allowed to come out, and people outside are not allowed to enter. It's that simple.

In fact, the Ming army in Xi'an Prefecture did not dare to go out at all. They were all scared by the Leopard Cavalry. They had no idea how many people there were in the White-Clothed Army ambushing outside the city. It took more than a thousand miles from Xi'an Prefecture to Yulin City, and the road was quite difficult to walk. Who knew that if you would encounter an ambush from the White-Clothed Army on the way? If Yulin City was not rescued and instead weakened the defenders of Xi'an Prefecture, wouldn't it be a waste of money and all of them were done?

No wonder the Ming army in Xi'an Prefecture is so taboo. Even the iron-sprayed cavalry led by Lin Dankhan is not the opponent of the White Army, let alone the Ming army in Xi'an Prefecture. Now, there are four military towns and hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Who dares to say that he is Xu Xingxia's opponent? Or, Xu Xingxia is not his opponent? If anyone dares to jump out like this, Huang Kezhang will immediately ask him to lead his troops to rescue Yulin City.

Of course, those are all gone tomorrow. Now, the situation in the entire northwest region has long been corrupt, and the governor of the three sides cannot control it. The elite Ming army in the northwest region are actually scattered in four military towns. Now, among the four military towns, only the Ming army in Guyuan Town can be mobilized, and the other three military towns have lost control. There is only one military town, and even if Huang Kezhang has twelve points of ability, he cannot display it!

To be honest, under such circumstances, the primary task of the Ming army in Guyuan Town was to defend Xi'an Prefecture. For this reason, they even took the initiative to give up Huluxia City, Hailaduying (now Haiyuan), Huanxian and other places to the north of Guyuan City, to reduce their troops and concentrate on guarding the two cities of Guyuan City and Qingyang City. If Guyuan City or Qingyang City is lost, or Yulin City is lost, Xi'an Prefecture will become very dangerous.

Under such a background, Huang Kezhang naturally did not dare to neglect, so he had to constantly write to the court to request rescue. Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of War, also realized that the situation was serious and had to take charge of military affairs at the age of 70. During this period, the troops of Shanxi Town, Datong Town and Xuanfu Town were constantly mobilized to move south and gathered towards Xi'an Prefecture. At the same time, defense lines were set up in the western part of Shanxi Province to prevent the white-clothed army from entering Shanxi.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

This was the White Army deliberately shooting in the direction of Xi'an Prefecture from time to time.

The purpose of shooting is of course to tell the defenders in Xi'an Prefecture or others that our white-clothed army is waiting for you in the city. If you have the ability, come out to fight! If you don't dare to fight, just hide in the city as a turtle!

As for what kind of reaction will happen in Xi'an Prefecture after the gunfire sounds, Mao Shisan will not care about it. Anyway, as long as the Ming army dares to come out of the city, the Leopard Cavalry will beat you up! If the Ming army does not come out, then continue to live a leisurely life like this.

...

Xi'an City, South Street, and the Governor's Office on the Three-Border.

When the gunshot was fired, Huang Kezhang was lying down and covering his face. In just a few months, the three-sided governor felt like he was more than ten years old and had almost no spirit on his face. He was exhausted and had to cover his face with a hot towel at all times in order to keep himself cheering up and dealing with the mess in front of him. There is no way, this stall is really bad, and no one else is willing to clean up except him.

The situation of the four towns in the northwest was so decayed, which was simply unbelievable. Huang Kezhang could not understand until now what happened during this period. He didn't understand why the White-Clothed Army entered Yansui Town, and there was no major war, and Yansui Town suddenly became the world of the White-Clothed Army. He didn't understand why the arrival of the White-Clothed Army made the local military households so happy and cheered, which was even happier than the New Year. From his perspective, he really didn't understand! These are all troublemakers!

On the contrary, the Shaanxi Censor Zhu Xieyuan seemed to have realized something and was in silence. It is said that he wrote many memorials to the court in succession, all of which were thousands of words, and he didn't know what they wrote. The court, after receiving this memorial, seemed to have no reply, as if nothing had happened. However, Huang Kezhang had already felt that the day he was imprisoned and waiting for punishment was not far away.

"Governor General! The prince is here!" Suddenly, someone came to report.

"Oh, I understand! Open the middle door to greet you!" Huang Kezhang took off the hot towel and said hurriedly.

The King of Qin was already very old and could no longer move normally. Most of the days, he was bedridden. The imperial doctors estimated that his exodus would last in one or two years. The prince of the King of Qin, Zhu Cunshu, was basically in charge of all the affairs of the King of Qin's Mansion. Zhu Cunshu was chubby and rarely came out. Now, Zhu Cunshu came to visit in person, which shows his concerns about the situation.

If the White Army really entered Xi'an Prefecture, the Qin King's Mansion would naturally not be able to escape. No wonder the Qin King's lineage was so worried. The White Army had let the Qing King's Mansion go before, which does not mean that they would release people when they captured Xi'an Prefecture. It should be noted that sometimes, some things are beyond control of Xu Xingxia himself. Speaking of which, the Qin King's lineage has always been very unsatisfactory in the Zhu family royal family. If the family was destroyed due to these rebellions in the northwest, it would be really tragic.

At present, Xi'an Prefecture has gathered more than 30,000 servants, all of which are wealthy families, powerful families, and senior officials. They still have certain combat effectiveness. In addition, there are more than 30,000 soldiers mobilized from various places. There are also a certain number of cannons on the top of Xi'an City. At present, the number of cannons is still increasing. The number of war soldiers is also increasing. If the main force of the White-Clothed Army does not come to attack, Xi'an Prefecture will not be in danger for the time being. However, no one can say when the main force of the White-Clothed Army will come!

If it were an ordinary rebel, there would be no need to worry about the strength of Xi'an City. Even if it were an ordinary rebel, the Xi'an Prefecture official army would have taken the initiative to exterminate the rebels first. The problem is that the combat effectiveness of the White-Clothed Army was too strong. The White-Clothed Army not only defeated the Tatars, but even Lin Danhan was defeated by the rebels. According to the combat effectiveness, if the Xi'an City official army was dispatched, it would be a waste of death!

The chubby Qin prince Zhu Cunshu came in, politely confronted Huang Kezhang, and said tactfully: "Is there any other way besides suppression? Perhaps, we should think of another way? There is no way out, maybe other ways are effective?"

Huang Kezhang's thoughts moved slightly. This sentence was interesting from Zhu Cunshu's mouth! There is no other way. If you don't kill, then you can only comfort it. Since Zhu Cunshu said that, it is obvious that he has the meaning of comforting it. In fact, comforting it is not impossible to consider. Since you can't beat it, you can only make peace. This is the truth that children all know. However, Huang Kezhang is really a little unwilling to comfort Xu Xingxia. You have caused such a big disaster and caused such a big disturbance, and finally got comforted. Can I feel balanced?

Zhu Cunshu's fat face was constantly shaking, and he said with a smile: "It's time to overcome the current difficulties first! It takes time to mobilize troops, and it takes time to mobilize money and grain! In the imperial court, those who have no money and food cannot be mobilized. It's hard to expect them to come and save them! By the way, I also heard that there was news that Xu Xingxia had to rebel. Li Maohui and Li Guozhen, the two thieves, surrendered to the Tartars again..."

He talked a lot, as if he was complaining. In fact, the key content was clearly reminded to Huang Ke. Brother, comforting and other things are all slow-tracking strategies. The court needs time to raise money and grain, mobilize troops, and we also need time to take a breath. Don’t force Xu Xingxia too quickly! As long as we overcome the current difficulties, everything will be easy to say. Isn’t it just a matter of comforting and killing?

Huang Kezhang actually thought of it. As the governor of the three sides, how could he not know such a trick? He even thought about the process and reasons. As long as he pushed all his sins to Li Maohui and Li Guozhen, everything would be fine. These two guys had surrendered to the Tartars, and they would have been dead. Through these two thieves, the civil strife in Ningxia, which was originally a big bad thing, was very likely to turn into a great thing.

If there is any crime that is more serious than rebellion, it is treason. The court can tolerate someone’s rebellion, but it cannot tolerate someone’s treason. The matter in Ningxia Town can be handled a little bit and can become Li Maohui. Li Guozhen tried to treason, but was discovered by the wise and powerful military clerk Xu Xingxia, who led the vast number of loyal and patriotic military clerks, and resolutely stopped it. Due to misunderstandings, the court thought that Xu Xingxia was rebelling. Now, the truth is revealed and the misunderstandings are eliminated, and Xu Xingxia naturally became the hero of the country. The so-called rebellion has become a condemnation of the rebellion by the army of justice, and the court firmly supports it!

In fact, Huang Kezhang also praised Xu Xingxia in his heart. Not to mention anything else, no one could match Xu Xingxia's ability to kill the Tartars! In Ningxia Town, even the four towns in the northwest, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, only Xu Xingxia could kill the Tartars. Those thousands or thousands of Tartar heads were definitely not a joke! The entire Tatar tribe was destroyed by him. If this guy hadn't rebelled, Huang Kezhang would have prepared to train him to contribute to the four towns in the northwest!

In fact, if Xu Xingxia is really willing to be recruited, it would be a good idea for the court to specifically appoint him to deal with the Tartars! It is not impossible for the court to make an exception to appoint Xu Xingxia as the general officer of Ningxia Town. Isn’t he a great hero who resolutely fights against the thieves? It is not an exaggeration to reward him. However, you will drive the Tartars from Gansu Town away first!

"The prince is enlightened, and I am grateful." Huang Kezhang said slowly. His words meant that he was ready to accept Zhu Cunshu's suggestions and to take measures to comfort Xu Xingxia. Whether it is effective depends on their own methods.

"That's good, that's good, that's good." Zhu Cunshu went with a smile.

Huang Kezhang sent the prince of Qin to the door, returned to the central hall, pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind and shouted with a stern voice: "Come here! Prepare the four treasures of the study! I want to go to Datian to listen!"
