Liao Xing was called Liao Saodi in the Eastern Palace system, not because he went up the mountain to dig the land to find places where he could plant sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. But he was digging talents to the point where he could do everything he could. Although Pingdu Prefecture is not big, it is not small. It is really rare that he could actually meet every scholar in the state in person. It is really rare to use it by measuring talents.

Although this spirit of digging three feet into the ground is admirable, it is not something that everyone can do. Especially for Wu Weiye, who is a second-tier figure, he is somewhat proud of his identity. In addition, Laizhou under his jurisdiction is where the emperor stays, so the above master naturally has the final say on how to develop it. He is called the prefect, but in fact he is just a errand, and the things he can arrange are very limited.

However, this time when Huaiqing and Wei Hui were exposed, there was less restraint. Wu Weiye felt both liberated and wanted to show his strength, but he was also nervous, afraid that he would make mistakes.

Even though Wu Weiye was slow, he knew that the crown prince was more harsh than other officials in the East Palace. He was quite confused about this. In terms of qualifications and background, he was the earliest old man in the East Palace; in terms of talent and knowledge, he was not comparable to those of juren and students. However, later Zhang Shiqi had already participated in politics in Shandong, but he was still a prefect.

The prefects also have different levels, such as Kaifeng Prefecture, with four prefectures and thirty counties under its jurisdiction, while Huaiqing and Weihui prefectures have only twelve counties in total.

All is left to talk about it.

Wu Weiye had just felt a little slack in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he often heard the accent of Henan in Jinan recently, all refugees who came out to escape from Henan. He could not dig up the clerks himself, but could he still dig up the farmers? As long as he made a promise of land, these people would definitely be willing to follow him.

If there are a group of farmers who are familiar with the local area, they can start to reclaim farmland in spring. At least the farmers in each county can use the safe people.

——Where does the land come from?

Wu Weiye asked himself secretly, and his mind was filled with the situation of officials from the East Palace sweeping the Shandong Fushi.

——I can do it too. I can use thunder to practice the heart of the Bodhisattva, kill one to save ten thousand, and this is also reasonable.

Wu Weiye secretly made up his mind.

How could he know? Whether it was the prefect of Kaifeng who was born as a merchant or the talented Hou Fangyu, he had already been there to buy the "Records of the Gentlemen" of the prefectures under his jurisdiction, but it was not for the convenience of governance, but for the sake of being a fat sheep to prepare for the operation.

I think Shandong has not been defeated by the thief, and I can find the blame and make a vacant space. This place in Henan is a severely affected area of ​​rebellion, offering thieves, and various thieves. Who has no guilt for tying bandits or tyrants?

As long as a person makes up his mind and breaks the bottom line, he can always create miracles.

...

On the third day of the 12th month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, all the Qing army was dispatched, and the entire capital was empty. Not only were the civilian grains requisitioned as military rations, but even the farmers were enlisted in large quantities into the army to become servants, slaves, and human shields to block cannons.

The news of the Qing army's mobilization this time also fell into Li Zicheng's eyes and ears. In order to resist the attack of more than 200,000 troops of the Western Route Army, Li Zicheng promptly delivered the good horses he bought from Hetao and also got the cotton coats transported by the merchants.

In this transaction, Li Zicheng did not spend much money. Some of the horses were stolen, and the other part was exchanged for cotton coats. In the end, there were still 30,000 to 40,000 pieces of cotton coats that fell into his hands.

Tens of thousands of cotton coats mean tens of thousands of warriors.

Infantry, only a large number of infantry is the way to victory for the Dashun Army.

Because Zhu Cixuan's revision of the historical scripts, the Qing army was unable to annex Shanxi in one fell swoop. It could not attack Shaanxi in the best condition. It also allowed Li Zicheng not to escape in the desert and still maintained the dignity of a peasant emperor.

Li Zicheng sat in the Qinwang Mansion Palace, which was his imperial palace. He had sent people to rebuild the Daming Palace on the Longshouyuan in the north of the city. Of course, the "Daming" in the name must be a taboo, so it has been changed to an earlier name: Yong'an Palace.

On Li Zicheng's "Imperial Case", there was a booklet sent by Prince Zhu, with the four words "Square Formation Tactics" written on the cover. He did not forget the "Imperial Gift" seal on the bell, which made Li Zicheng feel heartbroken and worried.

Liu Zongmin stood in front of Li Zicheng and said, "Sir, the square formation contained in this book is indeed sharper than the battle formations commonly used by our army."

Of course, Li Zicheng knew the common tactics of the Shun Army: rushing up is the mainstream, and being able to form a horizontal formation and rush forward is already considered a strong army.

"If it is really as wonderful as the book says, why don't the Zhu family use it?" Li Zicheng and Zhu Cixuan had a few times, and could recognize that it was Grandpa Qi's mandarin duck formation. In this era, various military books and war books can be bought in bookshops, which is very convenient. The problem is that even if most people buy it, they cannot train according to the regulations.

This is limited by organizational capabilities. Without detailed evaluation standards and strong execution, you cannot tell the Qi family army by reading books.

"I'm afraid... this square formation is targeting the Donglu army." Liu Zongmin could not say of course: It is impossible for us to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the soldiers do not have the ability to practice every day.

After the Shaanxi settlement, the Dashun Army also began to train, but the training intensity increased, and the food consumption was increased. So they naturally adopted the practice of reducing the number of training times, changing from one exercise every three days to one exercise every five days, and now it is even rare for one exercise every ten days. How can this make soldiers form a combat instinct? It would be good to remember their position.

"Can you practice it?" Li Zicheng asked.

After Liu Zongmin was captured, he was confident and frustrated, but said steadily: "You can start the training with Zhongquan's personal guards."

"No need, just send it to the generals and let them all practice accordingly." Li Zicheng sighed and said, "The prince of the Zhu family is still capable of it. Otherwise, how could he annihilate Shi Tingzhu and kill Bahana?" Li Zicheng originally did not believe in the results of the battle in the "Huangming News", and also thought it was a story that was used to inspire after mixing the water.

Who knew that the lurking spies in Beijing would soon hear news that Jiannu's losses were probably even heavier than what was said in the "Huangming Notice", so that Dorgon fainted from anger. Jueluo Bahana's whole family was punished to be slaves. After a great defeat in a stone, Li Zicheng knew that he could not achieve such a result.

"I'm afraid that the thief Zhu has ulterior motives." Although Liu Zongmin felt that the possibility was extremely small, he had to remind him.

"If the Donglu took Shaanxi, he would stab him in the back from Henan. He would still expect the Ughur to fight with the Donglu." Li Zicheng sneered.

"Master, should Huguang's troops be transferred back?" Liu Zongmin said: "This time the Donglu came in full force, and it is probably a bad battle."

After Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting fought a decisive battle, he led the main force to the north to capture Shaanxi, leaving behind 70,000 to 80,000 people and horses in the four prefectures of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Chengtian and De'an. These people were all soldiers of Lao Yu's battle formation, and they were elite soldiers, used to compete for Huguang and defend "Xiangjing".

However, Bai Wang was not as talented as a famous general after all, and he still could not drive Zuo Liangyu away with such heavy troops.

Zuo Liangyu defended Wuchang and raised the enemy to respect himself. He had no intention of going north to Xiangyang. Therefore, since the chaos in the world, the situation in Huguang was relatively calm.

Now the four prefectures of Jingxiang are the main grain-producing areas in Dashun. They are already unable to support hundreds of thousands of troops in Shaanxi. If they are dispatched to the north, Zuo Liangyu will definitely not let these four prefectures go. What will the army eat at that time?

Li Zicheng shook his head: "It would be nice to be able to defend it. You can transfer troops from Ningxia. Isn't Bai Guangen in Ningxia? Let him come, now none of these Zhu thieves can be trusted, so I should keep it at ease. Transfer all the surrendered generals of the Zhu Dynasty and let them take the lead!" Jiang Yan and Tang Tong's rebellion made Li Zicheng quite angry.

However, it is impossible to take the lead. Because no one knows where the main force of the Qing Dynasty crossed the river, and could only defend along the river.

Gao Yigong, Wang Liangzhi guarded Yulin, Li Guo guarded Yan'an, and others such as Bai Guangen and Ma Ke were deployed between Yan'an and Xi'an, guarding the tunnels and defending important ferries along the river. Because of the loss of taking landmines last time, Li Zicheng did not forget to distribute gunpowder and hot turbulent oil to the guardian tribes to break ice and ambush.

Li Zicheng personally led his personal guards to guard Xi'an, and gave Liu Fangliang another 5,000 troops, and ordered him to guard Tongguan. In his opinion, Shaanxi was as solid as a decent place, and would definitely not let the Qing soldiers succeed. What he was worried about now was that Beizhi and Shandong could not withstand it, so that the Qing soldiers advanced west from Henan and seized his retreat.

As for the Ming army in Shanxi who was counting on the Qing army, Li Zicheng had never even thought about it.
