"The two thieves Chen De and Ren Zhen have been captured by my lord. Now that the Biao camp is under control, my lord asks you to go to Xi'an city as soon as possible!"
"Wu Sangui has passed Pujin Bridge and will arrive at any time. Please come in quickly, otherwise things will change if you are too late!"
On the north bank of the Weishui River, in the center of Xianyang City.
The coalition generals met Meng Qiaofang's nephew who came from Xi'an. He brought good news. Meng Qiaofang finally killed the second general of Biaoying and gained control of Xi'an. Now let them enter Xi'an quickly.
He Zhen was overjoyed when she heard the news.
"Hahaha, it's not in vain for me to wait here for so long. Mr. Meng is indeed true to his word."
"Come here, I will reward Mr. Meng generously!"
Governor Gao Doushu, Governor Sun Shoufa and others also looked happy. Even Huang Changyin, the governor of Shaanxi Province in the Qing Dynasty who was sitting in the tent, also stroked his beard and expressed comfort. His hometown in Hunan is now under the control of the Ming army. He used to be an official in Beijing. Li Zicheng
After entering Beijing, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army expelled Li Zicheng, and he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Not long ago, he was appointed governor of Shaanxi. However, he encountered great chaos in Guanzhong, so he decided to change his ways anyway.
The messenger was taken down, and He Zhen began to discuss with everyone the matter of entering Xi'an.
The coalition army numbered more than 100,000. After Governor Gao Doushu proposed to organize the army, they were reluctantly divided into five armies, each with four battalions of 12,000 men.
He Zhen relied on more than 20,000 troops in his headquarters, plus the troops surrendered in Guanzhong, to insist on the position of president, and Gao Doushu finally had to compromise.
Governor Gao Doushu, Governor Sun Shoufa, and Admiral He Zhen serve as president, president of the Fifth Army, and admiral of the Chinese Army.
Wang Guangtai from Xunyang was the admiral of the right army, Liu Tichun from Zhongyi Town was the admiral of the rear army, Guanzhong Wu Ding was the admiral of the front army, and King Hu Xiangqian was the admiral of the left army.
Gao Doushu and Sun Shoufa each led the bidding camp.
Luo Dai, Dang Meng'an, Guo Dengxian, Shi Guoxi, Gao Xun, Liu Wenbing, Guo Junzhen, Huang Jinyu, Jiao Rong, Qiu Huang, Li Yao, He Hongqi, Li Mingyi, Jiang Dennglei, Wang Yuan, Ma De, etc. were all awarded the title of General Soldier
.
President He Zhen led five armies, and admirals such as Wu Dading each led one army.
The five armies have a total of twenty battalions, each battalion has 3,000 men, and is assigned a general soldier.
The governor-general, the governor, and the president's standard camp each have their own commander-in-chief.
The reorganization of the army was originally implemented by Gao Dou in accordance with Zhu Yihai's orders. However, due to He Zhen's insistence, it eventually went wrong, especially the president, admirals, and commander-in-chief were indiscriminately established, resulting in one president, five admirals, and twenty-three generals.
Soldiers, more than fifty deputy generals, and more than a hundred generals participating in guerrilla warfare.
Although the coalition forces were reorganized on the surface, they did not actually achieve the court's intention. The leaders of the large and small armies led the troops and camps, and each general's headquarters failed to be truly integrated.
He Zhen used the famous imperial utensils as personal gifts to win over the generals.
"If Xi'an is conquered without a fight, Guanzhong will be settled." He Zhen said proudly at first, implicitly expressing his contribution to show that he was right to insist on negotiating with Meng Qiaofang before, but Governor Gao Doushu insisted on withdrawing the troops. Now he is undoubtedly wrong.
.
"The Holy Spirit is wise and wise, but after all, he is far away in the southeast. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Generals like us are on the front line. When the situation changes, we cannot listen to the southeast's remote control.
Your Majesty has issued dozens of gold medals to urge us to move. I, He Zhen, am solely responsible for this matter. After Guanzhong is pacified, I will personally make a pilgrimage to Nanjing and leave it to Your Majesty's disposal."
After He Zhen finished speaking generously, she added, "In order to restore ZTE, I don't care about personal fame and fortune."
At this time, the generals also began to praise He Zhen.
Gao Doushu was silent.
He had the title of governor, but he had nothing to do with these military leaders. Even the two generals Liu Tichun and Wang Guangtai who came from Yunyang Badong did not obey his orders very much.
Each general has his own little calculation, especially the generals in Guanzhong. Most of them are from Guanlong and most of their subordinates are locals. They are not willing to leave Guanzhong and evacuate to Guanzhong. They want to take advantage of Guanzhong.
Go to Guanzhong, divide the territory, and promote officials and nobles.
Now that the situation is great, everyone is starting to divide their territory.
He Zhen proposed that she and Governor Gao Doushu, governor Sun Shoufa lead the Chinese army into Xi'an, Wang Guangtai led the right army to stay in Xianyang, Liu Tichun led the rear army to move to Jingyang, Hu Xiangqian led the left army to capture Gaoling, and Wu Dading led the front army to station in Weinan.
They also made a verbal agreement that after Wu Sangui is defeated, Wuhan University will be stationed in Pingliang and Qingyang, and Hu Xiangqian will be stationed in Yan'an and Suiyuan.
Wang Guangtai was stationed in Ganzhou and Suzhou, and Liu Tichun was stationed in Lintao and Gongchang.
He Zhen was stationed in Xi'an, Luo Dai was stationed in Fengxiang, Ma Ke was still stationed in Hanzhong, Guo Dengxian was stationed in Ningxia, and Dang Meng'an was stationed in Minzhou and Taozhou.
Before the war started, the territory had been divided first. The land of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia was divided by the five admirals. Luo Dai, Guo Dengxian, Dang Meng'an and Ma Ke, who were originally in Hanzhong with He Zhen, were also divided.
A piece of land was allocated.
Obviously, this division actually divides Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia into nine areas, with Hezhen Group exclusively occupying five areas.
"Budo?"
After He Zhen finished allocating the money, she asked Governor Gao Doushu in a pretentious manner.
Gao Doushu originally guarded Yunyang and fought hard for several years with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. He was able to hold on to an isolated city without falling. It was an achievement. At the beginning, he only had thousands of men and horses to hold on.
But now his men were said to have more than 100,000 troops, but they were restrained in every aspect. Faced with He Zhen's aggressiveness, Gao Doushu remained silent.
He didn't object in a hurry, but carefully considered it in his mind. Seeing that the situation was as it was, he didn't say anything more. He had already said everything he should and shouldn't say, but no one supported him.
At the moment, he even wondered if he was too worried.
At this time, since He Zhen could not be persuaded, he did not want any further disagreements among the coalition forces. He would fight this battle first.
Liu Tichun and Wang Guangtai did not object. Liu Tichun was originally from Zhongzhen Town. Later, he and Tian Jianxiu were separated to establish Zhongyi Town. Unexpectedly, during the Battle of Wuchang, Tian Jianxiu and others actually surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. This made Liu Tichun and Yuan Zong
Third, Hao Yaoqi and others are very passive.
When Liu Tichun entered Guanzhong, he also hoped to make some achievements. Of course, he also wanted to find a new foothold. After all, due to the surrender of Zhongyi Town to the Qing Dynasty, he was now in an embarrassing situation and did not even have a piece of land.
Moreover, in the last defeat, a lot of supplies, weapons, and troops were lost, and I wanted to replenish them in Guanzhong.
Wang Guangtai was the brother of Wang Guangen of Yunyang, and he was credited with conquering Xiangyang. However, Yunyang had few soldiers and poor land. Although Zhongkai Town had many troops stationed in Gucheng, it had been war-torn for a long time and could not support many troops.
When he came to Guanzhong, he also came to seize territory and supplies.
I am also looking forward to entering Xi'an.
Even though he was very close to Gao Doushu, he supported He Zhen when it came to entering Xi'an.
Now He Zhen has divided a large territory for him and promised to give him all of Gansu in the future. How can Wang Guangtai be dissatisfied?
Even if he is asked to stay in Xianyang now, he has no objection.
Anyway, He Zhen also said that after entering Xi'an, all military camps will have a share of the materials and equipment in the treasury. Even if He Zhen takes more, he cannot lose his share.
The other generals Wu Dading and Hu Xiangchen also had no objections.
As a result, the whole army agreed that tomorrow they would prepare food at the fourth watch and set off at the fifth watch. He Zhen and the governor would lead the Chinese army into Xi'an City, while the remaining four armies would be stationed on the outskirts.
