Everyone agreed with He Jinchao's slightly warning words.

So what if those who surrendered to Hong Chengchou?

After quelling the rebellion in Qin, he pulled out 400 leaders of all sizes, all of whom were chopped off.

If the people present really surrender to Hong Chengchou, it would be a luxury to be able to keep their heads.

If you surrender to the three-sided governor Hong Chengchou, the end of the decision that you cannot fall, must be fully decisive.

If Yang He had surrendered, he would have become He Jinchao's prisoner long ago!

"Surrender?" Zhang Xianzhong laughed a few times: "Master He, no matter how the government army unites, our thirteen families have a total of less than 70,000 to 80,000. Can the number of government troops exceed us?"

"War is never judged by the number of people, and we have a large number of people, but the overall combat effectiveness cannot beat the official army, so we have to admit it."

Gao Yingxiang made a statement, after following He Jinchao to travel to Northern Zhili, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army was really not a boast.

Only by avoiding the eyes and ears of the officials along the way could we luckily enter Beijing.

If you want to replicate the last record again, it will be difficult to achieve.

It was precisely because Gao Yingxiang went out to fight with the strong that he realized his weight and foundation, and he was far from catching up with the Ming Dynasty.

If someone is defeated once or twice, he can continue to recruit troops around him to stop him from eating you.

But you have fewer and fewer trump cards in your hand, this is reality!

If Brother He hadn't walked left and right in the gap between the official army's surrounding area, he unexpectedly jumped out of the encirclement.

Gao Yingxiang alone would really crash into the encirclement of the government army, and the ending he faced would be to be cut into pieces in the capital.

Now Zi Jinliang, the leader of the 36th Battalion, is still wandering around Henan. With him attracting targets in Henan, it can reduce the pressure. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty court attaches more importance to Henan than Shanxi!

After the Yuan Dynasty, Xiangyang lost its strategic position of "the world's waist" and Kaifeng's strategic position rose sharply.

Large-scale battles or long-term battles between the two armies have never happened in Xiangyang.

The basic situation of political geography during this period was still the opposition between the north and the south.

The political centers in the north and south were in Beijing and Nanjing respectively. The struggle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Shun of Yuan, Zhu Di, King of Yan, and Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Hongguang of the Shunzhi regime in the early Qing Dynasty continued to the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Xinhai Revolution.

The main transportation trunk line connecting Beijing and Nanjing is the Grand Canal that runs across Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces. The strategic value of Huainan East Road, which is located in the middle section of the canal, has been greatly improved and has become a must for the northern expedition and the southward movement.

The north-south transportation hub in central my country also moved from Xiangyang east to Kaifeng, which is close to the Grand Canal.

Henan is more than a thousand miles away, and Liang (Kaifeng) is tied in the hub. If there is something wrong in the world, it will be a place for four battles!

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army captured Bianliang and established it as the capital. The Yuan army tried its best to counterattack and seized it back.

When Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, Kaifeng was used as the base for the Northern and Western Expeditions. Li Zicheng's army in the late Ming Dynasty also fought with the Ming Dynasty's official army three times for Kaifeng.

It can be seen that the military strategists and politicians attached importance to Henan at that time. Chongzhen's control of Beijing also had to rely on the canal transport of the Grand Canal and also rely on taxes and support from Henan.

Because the places in Northern Zhili were occupied by the royal relatives and eunuchs and nobles, he could not collect much tax, so he relied heavily on Henan.

In this historical stage, except for the brief separatist rule of heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was no repetition of the long-term political divisions like the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Rebellions like the Eight Kings Rebellion that made a big fuss in the Central Plains were basically extinct.

The conflict between the Han and northern ethnic groups intensified. The situation where ethnic minority regimes such as the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty fought across the Yangtze River and unified China was not seen before. Most of the Han and Tang dynasties fought outside the border.

With the sharpening of ethnic conflicts, the scale, duration and intensity of border wars have become stronger.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to do was to pay attention to border preparations and prevent Hu cavalry from moving south. Therefore, the main force of the army and food and equipment were allocated to the northern defense line.

No longer, like the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to prevent rebellions in the mainland, huge warehouses and arsenals were set up in the heart of the Central Plains, which reflected that the Ming Dynasty believed that the harm of external troubles was more important than civil strife.

The easing of conflicts between the central and local governments, separatist areas in the mainland, the reduction of rebellious wars, and the intensification of border conflicts were mainly due to the continuous strengthening of the autocratic centralized regime since the Song Dynasty.

The Supreme Ruling Group gradually brought local military, administrative, financial and judicial power to the central government, and local chiefs were directly appointed by the emperor, supplemented by the policy of "focusing on culture and suppressing military affairs", which effectively restricted the development of local separatist forces and made the imperial power increasingly consolidated.

At the same time, the above changes also caused the situation of poverty and weakness in the Song and Ming dynasties, and were passive when fighting against the northern nomadic peoples.

Therefore, after Li Zicheng and others entered Henan, they were able to grow rapidly in a short period of time. There was really no king in the mountains, and the monkey was called the king.

Once the official army intervenes in Henan, they will reveal their true colors.

During the inland war between the Yuan Dynasty and the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the time for position warfare was shortened, and it was rare for two armies to attack and defend for a long time in a certain area.

In large-scale wars during this period, the weaker side often adopted mobile combat strategies to avoid the real and the virtual to protect themselves, such as the strategy of the Red Turban Army in the late Yuan Dynasty and the Peasant Rebel Army in the late Ming Dynasty.

If you follow the traditional tactics of defending the city and defending the city and defending against strong enemies, it is usually difficult to resist.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang's northern expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, Li Zicheng became the queen and marched into Guanzhong, Beijing, Qing troops entered the pass and attacked Xi'an and Jiangnan. In these battles, the defenders also used the fortresses such as Tongguan, Ningwu, and Yangzhou to defend, but the results were minimal and they could not prevent the attacking side from advancing like a storm.

The main reason for this situation is the advancement of weapons and equipment and combat technology.

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, gunpowder and firearms have been widely used in the military. Although they cannot replace cold weapons such as bows, arrows, swords and guns, they have had a significant impact on the military's tactics.

The Ming Dynasty's strategy to protect Henan was determined by Chongzhen. It is best for the rioters to be devastated in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and do not go out to harm the disaster.

The official troops of Datong Prefecture and Xuanfu could let He Jinchao’s cheap father-in-law Lin Danhan help to restrain one or two.

I believe that He Jinchao brought back a large number of cattle and sheep from the grassland, which would definitely be able to suppress the Mongolians on the grassland.

Anyway, they ask for silver rewards from the Ming Dynasty every year. When wouldn’t they ask for it?

Overall, the rebel army mainly deals with official troops from Shaanxi and other places headed by Hong Chengchou.

Ge Liyan and others agreed with Gao Chuangwang's analysis.

In this way, with the scale of the official army being restrained by our foreign aid of the rebel army, there will be even fewer official army that our side will actually deal with.

The situation in the world is nothing stronger than that in Qin!

Qin is tall and thick, the true people are passionate and brave in fighting hard.

The people are martial and have little literary style, and are strong and brave, with the style of the frontier.

Therefore, the rebellion of the six (six types of rebellion in Qin) also began here, and eventually destroyed the world!

This encirclement and suppression was a showdown between the Ming Dynasty's official army and the Ming Dynasty's rebels, and their respective Qin soldiers.
