I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but speak again:

"Then join the Yarkand Khanate. After all, there is no conflict between the Yarkand Khanate and the Salvation Army.

Judging from the attitude of the Han people in the Central Plains towards the surrounding countries, the worst that can happen is that they will pay tribute and become vassal states of the Salvation Army."

“This is indeed a way out.

However, I would still like to send someone to contact the Salvation Army. If they can accept us, that would be the best."

"Hey, if they were willing to accept us, they wouldn't have kept driving us here."

"Alas, I don't know what the Salvation Army means, and what the purpose of doing this is."

After he finished speaking, someone immediately said with a gloomy face and a cold smile:

"Hey, it's nothing more than trying to force us to attack other forces under the pressure of survival, causing chaos to the Turpan Khanate and even the Yarkand Khanate.

even

hey-hey"

When he said the last sentence, he sneered again, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Looking at the Jinglu Guard in the distance, Hong Chengchou had a dim look in his eyes and murmured secretly in his heart.

At the critical moment when Wang Jiayin led his troops to break out, Hong Chengchou even took the risk to go to the front line to command. With the help of the famous general Cao Wenzhao, after a series of fierce battles, the rebel army was defeated.

"It's not the right time. We need to train and strengthen our army."

However, Hong Chengchou was no pushover.

It was at this time that he once again launched a campaign to encircle and suppress the peasant uprising army in Shaanxi.

Faced with the encirclement and suppression by the government troops, Shen Yikui was quickly defeated and immediately moved towards the territory of the Salvation Army.

Then, at that time, these people will become the excuse for the Salvation Army to attack the Yarkand Khanate.

Faced with this situation, Chongzhen immediately issued an order for all places to come to Beijing to defend the emperor.

Well, it means leading the army to collect food and fodder.

In the beginning, with the secret help of the members of the agricultural cooperative and the shadow personnel, they were able to gain a firm foothold.

But in the end, he led his troops back.

Hong Chengchou disarmed Wang Zuogui's troops without bloodshed and wiped out Wang Zuogui's rebel army.

He first sent someone to contact Wang Zuogui, and used various generous treatments to directly persuade Wang Zuogui to surrender.

One after another, the rebel forces were put down by him.

Hong Chengchou immediately turned his troops around again and made an all-out effort to encircle and suppress Shen Yikui.

However, overall, the rebels were still at an absolute disadvantage, and their effectiveness was constantly being eliminated by Hong Chengchou.

And if all these people joined the Yarkand Khanate.

After joining Wang Jiayin's rebel army, Zhang Liwei was appointed as the commander in front of the tent by Wang Jiayin, which was considered a sign of great trust and respect.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed in the end and was surrounded and killed in Ningxia by Hong Chengchou's army.

After receiving the imperial edict, Hong Chengchou stood for a long time and finally couldn't help but sigh.

Under such circumstances, Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and others once again thought of the People's Salvation Army, the largest and first rebel force, and began to send people to contact Wang Chao.

After seeing the fighting capacity of the People's Salvation Army and their powerful rifles, it was basically impossible for them to join the Turpan Khanate, which was hostile to the People's Salvation Army.

In the end, they felt that if they continued to disperse and act on their own, they would be surrounded and suppressed one by one by the officers and soldiers just like Zijin Liang Wang Jiayin and his men.

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

For a while, Hong Chengchou was in eastern Shaanxi, where people were killed in large numbers and blood flowed like a river.

After all, there is the largest rebel force in the west.

The biggest possibility is actually to join the Yarkand Khanate.

When the team becomes completely strong, we will destroy the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop.

As soon as the order was issued, countless members of the farmers' cooperatives, shadowy figures, and intelligence personnel from the Military Intelligence Department began to follow the caravans into various parts of Shaanxi, lurking in secret to develop intelligence and recruit members of the farmers' cooperatives.

Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and others hid from place to place under the encirclement and suppression of Hong Chengchou.

If one wants to completely occupy the vast territory west of Qinghai, it is natural to migrate enough people there.

Hong Chengchou's ability in commanding and leading troops was far superior to Yang He's, and he also had famous generals like Cao Wenzhao under his command.

However, at the first moment, Hong Chengchou did not encircle and suppress the peasant uprising army, but led his troops to collect food and fodder.

As for the difficulty of leaving one's homeland.

These relocated people were basically disaster victims who flocked from eastern Shaanxi.

How glorious and proud you were before, how embarrassed and frustrated you are now.

It’s a pity that Zhang Liwei was in Cao’s camp but his heart was with Han.

At this time, the rebel army had been roughly divided into three main teams, Wang Zuogui, Shen Yikui, and Wang Jiayin, and their forces were relatively concentrated.

At this critical moment, Zhang Liwei, a general under Cao Wenzhao, claimed that he was Wang Jiayin's brother-in-law and could pretend to surrender to Wang Jiayin.

They would definitely not be able to defeat the officers and soldiers in a head-on attack.

Therefore, the most appropriate approach they should take is mobile warfare.

But now, they seem to have no other choice.

For a while, the encirclement and suppression of the Shanxi uprising army once again fell into a strange state of chase and escape, and a stalemate.

Finally, during a bandit suppression campaign, the Ming army was defeated by the coalition forces led by Wang Jiayin and others.

It even showed a trend of growing stronger again, but later, due to the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court and the lack of support from the people, its defeat was basically certain.

In July of the second year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiuyu was promoted to the position of Shaanxi Censor.

Even on the grasslands, the dynasty was prepared to relocate some of the people to graze and raise horses.

The rebel army lost its leader and the morale was low.

After dealing with Wang Zuogui, Hong Chengchou directly dispatched heavy troops to encircle and suppress the rebel army led by Wang Jiayin.

Despite repeated suppression and resurgence, the number of rebel forces in various parts of Shaanxi not only did not decrease, but instead grew stronger.

They are now just a bunch of defeated soldiers, and many of them have even lost their weapons.

When Chongzhen heard the news, he was furious. He immediately issued an edict to reprimand Yang He, dismissed him from office, imprisoned him, and sent him back to Shuntian Prefecture.

Faced with Hong Chengchou's encirclement and suppression, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others were in a state of utter misery and suffering.

After withdrawing, Hong Chengchou began to lead his troops to suppress the remaining rebel forces.

As for expanding outward and occupying enough living space

That is simply impossible.

According to Hong Chengchou, as long as he killed enough people and beheaded all the rebels, the peasant uprising would naturally be suppressed if enough people died.

After some hesitation, Wang Chao finally agreed to everyone's request for help.

After killing Wang Jiayin and suppressing his rebel army.

It can be said that they were just a group of rabble. How could they be a match for the regular army of the Ming Dynasty? They were beaten and fled in a panic, and were eventually surrounded.

It was just a siege, no appeasement.

Of course, their mobile warfare is actually about running away, running away continuously, avoiding the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and not engaging in head-on combat with officers and soldiers.

If there are still peasant uprisings, it’s because not enough people have been killed.

Shen Yikui had no choice but to move northward, hoping to cross Ningxia Wei and enter the territory of the People's Salvation Army.

Although it was gradually declining, it finally managed to hold on.

Then Hong Chengchou was promoted to Governor-General of the Three Borders of Shaanxi.

Afterwards, Chongzhen appointed him as the deputy general of the Left Guard to commend him for his contribution to the throne.

Finally, many rebel leaders gathered together and decided that this was not a solution.

However, as the battle continued, the combat skills of Wang Jiayin and other rebels were increasing at a visible rate, and they could even occasionally pose a threat to the officers and soldiers.

After Wang Jiayin's death, the entire rebel army immediately fell apart and fled in all directions.

Finally, the thirty-six battalions of the rebel army jointly nominated Wang Ziyu, a general under Wang Jiayin, as the second Zijinliang, to lead the various rebel troops and continue to fight with the officers and soldiers with the secret help of the members of the peasant society and the shadow.

If you don't give it, your entire family will be killed by the rebels, and then he led the army to take back the food and supplies.

After consideration, Cao Wenzhao agreed to his suggestion.

Hong Chengchou did not agree with the policy of appeasement.

Well, at this time, most of Shanxi had been occupied by the dynasty, and he could no longer be called the Governor-General of the Three Borders. He could only be called the Governor-General of Shaanxi.

At this point, the peasant uprising in Shaanxi, except for the Salvation Army, had been basically put down.

However, everyone was not completely desperate.

Faced with the rebel army showing signs of resurgence, Hong Chengchou immediately adopted different strategies of division and elimination based on the personalities of the rebel leaders.

Under Hong Chengchou's tough measures, enough food and supplies were quickly raised.

After wiping out Shen Yikui, Hong Chengchou looked in the direction of Jingluwei, and really wanted to take the opportunity to take back Jingluwei.

If the Salvation Army was unwilling to accept their surrender, they would have no choice but to join the Yarkand Khanate.

When facing the Salvation Army, just like facing the Later Jin outside the Great Wall, we must not be impatient for success, but instead we must trap them in a corner, train a strong army, and then we will have the opportunity to wipe them out.

Your life is about to end, why are you still saying that it’s hard to leave your hometown?

While the dynasty was dispatching troops to conquer foreign countries and relocating civilians to the border, scenes were happening in other places that were similar to history, but different from it.

The uprising, which seemed to be in a good situation, was completely defeated in a short period of time, and all the occupied cities and territories were captured by Hong Chengchou's army.

Therefore, it makes sense that soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol while on the march, because it can really kill people.

Faced with the encirclement of the imperial army, Wang Jiayin had no choice but to lead his troops to break out.

So, in the beginning, their method did work a little.

During this process, they also have to constantly involve the people and expand their team.

On October 26, the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji brazenly crossed the border passes of Longjing Pass, Da'ankou, Xifengkou and other places in Jizhen, led a large army into the pass, and approached Shuntian Prefecture.

For them, as long as they can have a full meal, they don't care where they move.

If you give, everyone is happy.

The rebel army led by Wang Jiayin at this time were just ordinary people who had just been recruited and had not received any training.

What else can they use to occupy enough living space?

Take the lead?

On the other hand, the dynasty at this time was constantly dispatching personnel to relocate people to the newly occupied areas.

He quickly bribed Wang Guozhong, a fellow villager who had defected to Wang Jiayin. The two of them took advantage of Wang Jiayin's drunkenness, sneaked into his military tent, and assassinated him in the tent.

When Hong Chengchou was entertaining Wang Zuogui for dinner, he took advantage of the situation and beheaded him on the spot, and then had him eaten.

However, Hong Chengchou had already guarded against this, and the roads leading westward from Qingyang Prefecture and other places were all blocked by large armies.

At the same time, these people were constantly guiding the rebels and helping them avoid encirclement and suppression by government troops.

This is the truth, but it's just a matter of application.

At this time, the rebel army did not receive much support from the people.

In addition to having sufficient food supplies and military pay, the morale of his soldiers was greatly boosted. Although not everyone was willing to risk their lives, the morale was far greater than that of the peasant uprising army.

However, Wang Zuogui did not have a good ending after surrendering.

After being promoted to Governor-General of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou immediately deployed his troops.

If we leave now, the rebels will surely rise again.

But he had no other choice.

Otherwise, once the capital was captured, even if he completely wiped out the rebels in Shaanxi, what would be the point?
