    Chapter 529: My real name is Zhou Chen (second update)

    Lu Xiangsheng gave Sun Chuanting the opportunity to escape from the encirclement at the cost of his own life and that of more than 20,000 Tianxiong troops.  This result made Xiao Mingqian feel regretful after receiving the news.

    For Lu Xiangsheng, Xiao Mingqian still admires him very much. He, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others are all outstanding figures of this era, but they are all extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

    If faced with Jurchens, this kind of loyalty can be praised by people hundreds of years later. Therefore, although Lu Xiangsheng destroyed his strategic intention of solving Sun Chuanting's army in Zhejiang and brought great obstacles to the subsequent military operations of the Chinese Empire,  Xiao Mingqian still treated his body like a hero.

    After Sun Chuanting broke away from the siege and entered Anhui, he quickly returned to Nanjing. He wanted to make adjustments to his military deployment in response to the Chinese Empire's military front.

    The landing operation of the Chinese Empire really made him worried about the security of Nanjing. Obviously, the Chinese Empire could also carry out attacks through the Yangtze River waterway.

    But he was still a step late. On the morning after Sun Chuanting arrived in Nanjing, as many as 600 small gunboats went north along the Yangtze River, successively destroying the Ming Dynasty's navy on the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, and completely blockading the area below Dongting Lake.  watershed.

    As a result, the connection between the north and south of the Yangtze River was completely blocked. Unless Sun Chuanting wanted to take a detour into Sichuan and then bring his army of more than 400,000 to the north of the Yangtze River, otherwise his army of more than 400,000 would have no choice but to  After waiting for the Yangtze River navy of the Chinese Empire to leave, they could cross the river north.

    In other words, he, Sun Chuanting, had just spent a lot of effort to escape from an encirclement, and now he was trapped in another even bigger encirclement.

    The war south of the Yangtze River was completely separated from the war in the Ming Dynasty by Xiao Mingqian's inland river fleet prepared in the past two years.

    At this time, the entire war in Ming Dynasty has become completely clear.  Sun Chuanting's tribe in the south became a turtle in the urn, while Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces in the north were also captured in more than a month.

    In the past few years, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi have been deeply damaged by the peasant army, so the power of the local gentry is weaker than that in other places.

    After officials sent by the Chinese government distributed the land, conducted public trials, and imported a large amount of grain, the situation stabilized in a very short period of time.

    After millions of people got land and a lot of food, they no longer resisted the rule of the Chinese Empire. After all, before that, many of them had joined the peasants just for a few mouthfuls of food.  The army rebelled against Ming Dynasty.

    Nowadays, you can live a good life without working hard, and few people are willing to fight against the army of the Chinese Empire.

    And at this time, something that was unimaginable by all the people of the Ming Dynasty also made the local people have a great favorable impression of the Chinese Empire deep in their hearts.

    That is, after the Chinese Empire occupied the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, thousands of young girls who entered Shanxi and Shaanxi as government workers of the Chinese Empire took their identity cards and entered various places to look for their relatives.

    These girls were all brought to Taiwan relatively early and were all over the age of sixteen, so this time Xiao Mingqian used this method to establish a positive image of the Chinese Empire in the hearts of the local people.

    Although many of the girls¡¯ parents have died, their arrival still caused a huge sensation across the country.  Seeing the girls who have grown up in front of them, and all of them have the status of staff of the Chinese Imperial Government, the Chinese Imperial Government has completely changed in the hearts of the local people from the devil propagated by the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty to a heavenly soldier and general who rescues the suffering.  .

    The joy of countless family reunions and the benefits brought by the Chinese Imperial Government made it possible that after a month, there was no resistance of more than a hundred people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.  No matter how much Ming officials slandered the Chinese Empire, the people no longer agreed.

    The civil unrest in Shaanxi was completely quelled by the conquests of Shi Long and Feng Xuejun and the efforts of government officials who subsequently entered Shaanxi.

    Many famous peasant army leaders in history were killed one after another, such as Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jinyan and others. Liu Zongmin also failed to escape the fate of destruction after escaping back to Hanzhong.  In addition, Luo Rucai and several others either surrendered or were captured.

    In this way, the civil unrest in Shaanxi that ravaged the Ming Dynasty for several years was completely put down, and there was no recurrence due to the new land policy and the influx of large amounts of food.

    On the Ming side, Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shaanxi, was defeated and committed suicide, and generals such as Li Guoqi and He Renlong were captured.  All Ming military and political officials in Shanshan and Shaanxi were wiped out.

    This is just the work of two groups of partial divisions, the biggest oneThe 100,000-strong army bypassed the Ming Dynasty's heavily defended Northern Zhili region and attacked Shijiazhuang and other places from southeastern Shanxi, forming a huge encirclement of the Northern Zhili region from the flanks.  The nearly 500,000 Ming troops gathered in the North Zhili area and Shanhaiguan area completely became a turtle in a urn.

    At this time, officials and wealthy households in Beijing regretted why they did not transfer their families and Wanguan family property to Huguang, Sichuan and other places as soon as possible.  This sentiment quickly spread in Beijing, making people in Beijing panic.

    Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to send a large number of people to Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, summoned King Ma Qin, and even sent Jin Yiwei to the south to mobilize Sun Chuanting's army to go north.

    But he didn¡¯t know that at this time, it would be impossible for Sun Chuanting to go north.

    By the beginning of May, the front of the Northern Army of the Chinese Empire had arrived a hundred miles south of Beijing. At the same time, Shanhaiguan also stepped up its attack, so that the 160,000 troops in Hong Chengchou's hands did not dare to move.

    However, the closer it got to Beijing, the greater the resistance of the Ming army, the more sneak attacks from civilians, and the greater the damage to the Chinese Empire's army. Chen Yuanyun had to give up the strategy of rapid advancement and adopt a steady and steady attack.  The strategy is basically to occupy one place and stabilize it.

    ??Strike militarily, divide politically, eliminate local resistance forces, and quickly implement new land policies, making local ordinary people accept the rule of the Chinese Empire.

    The benefits of doing so were quickly revealed. Without the support of the Ming army, although the gentry tried their best to cause trouble for the Chinese Empire, they were all suppressed in a short period of time.  At the same time, ordinary people who have benefited are no longer so hostile to these strange armies.

    Of course, there are also disadvantages in this, which is that the Ming army initially recovered from the initial chaos and began to make some targeted arrangements.

    But Chen Yuanyun didn¡¯t care at all, because he had another plan.

    "Sir, why have you summoned us?"

    In Yang Guo's Chinese army camp south of Yongding Gate in Beijing, Cao Wenzhao, Luo Yiguan and other ten generals came to Yang Guo's tent in the lead. They were very surprised that Yang Guo summoned them all. You must know that among them  There are many people on the front lines responsible for blocking the Chinese Empire's army. If there is nothing particularly important, they should not be called together.

    "I summoned you here, of course there is something important."

    Seeing that everyone was here, Yang Guo stood up and said.

    "Do you still remember Zhang Xiangming?"

    No one understands why Yang Guo suddenly mentioned Zhang Xiangming. Could it be that today's incident is related to this volunteer army.

    "Of course I remember. I originally thought he was a good man who was devoted to the Ming Dynasty, but he turned out to be a chess piece arranged by Xiao Thief in Liaodong. He is now in Tianjin. Hum, if I have a chance, I will kill his head  Unscrew it!"

    Luo Guanyang said angrily first.  He was very familiar with Zhang Xiangming. When he was in Liaodong, he had contact with him several times. When he was in Tianjin, the two sides were at loggerheads.

    "Then you said that the Chinese Empire arranged chess pieces in Liaodong, couldn't they also arrange such chess pieces in Ming Dynasty?"

    Yang Guo suddenly said something like this in a calm tone, which shocked everyone present.

    "My lord, are you saying that we have spies from the Chinese Empire here? How is this possible?"

    Cao Wenzhao asked in disbelief, if this is really the case, it would be terrible. As long as the inside and outside cooperate, Beijing will not be breached instantly!

    "My lord, who is that spy? I must chop him to death!"

    Luo Guanyi was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily.  Some other generals showed a moment of hesitation.

    "What if I say that the spy is me?"

    As soon as Luo Guanyi finished speaking, Yang Guo said something that shocked the whole audience.

    The entire camp suddenly fell into an extremely depressing silence. No one expected that Yang Guo would say this.

    "Sir, what do you mean by this? Are you kidding us?"

    After a long time, Luo Guanyi asked in disbelief.

    "He wasn't kidding, I can prove it."

    A voice that was always very familiar to Luo came in, and then dozens of soldiers holding Type 25 rifles quickly rushed into the camp.  And the person who said this was Zhang Xiangming, whom Luo Yiguan had just said that he wanted to twist off his head.

    Such a scene couldn¡¯t be more understandable.  Yang Guo, thisA high-ranking general who made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty turned out to be a spy arranged by the Chinese Empire for more than ten years in the Ming Dynasty.

    "No, sir, how could you be the spy arranged by Thief Xiao in the Ming Dynasty! I would rather believe that you betrayed the Ming Dynasty!"

    Luo Guanyin couldn¡¯t believe this was true.  He was the first to follow Yang Guo here, and he knew best how much Yang Guo had done for the Ming Dynasty over the years.  Fighting bloody battles in Liaodong, defending Shanhaiguan, entering the Pass to fight against Huang Taiji's counterinsurgency some time ago.

    All of these are things that have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Such a person turned out to be a spy from Taiwan. Luo Guanyi could not figure it out.

    "I'm not lying to you. More than ten years ago, I returned to Liaodong from Taiwan and joined the Ming Dynasty army. And my name is not Yang Guo, my real name is Zhou Chen!"
