Everything depends on yourself. Fortunately, Zhu Cilang's preparations are finally in great use now. Without the 10 million taels of silver from the eight major profiteers, Zhu Cilang is really hindering everywhere.

Not to mention the distant future, even the expenses of the Hu Ben Army and the Donggong Guard will be enough for you to lose. Not to mention, opening up the tea card salt channel.

If the money obtained by the eight imperial merchants were not checked, relying solely on the silver obtained from their grandfather Zhou Kui, it would only be a way to quench their thirst. At that time, Zhu Cilang was forced to attack all officials and could only attack the officials. Once he did so, it would cause unstable situations in the court.

Once the government is unstable, it will be internal and external troubles. The Qing Dynasty was surrounded by powerful enemies, and the bandits were eyeing it. The officials in the court were also disinterested, and even gods could not save such a Ming Dynasty.

It’s no wonder that many people say that if you really want to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, you will be just a death if you have the ability to be able to do so.

Zhu Cilang was not dead and was still alive. Although the Qing Dynasty still existed, although bandits were everywhere, Zhu Cilang was still confident that the 12th Regiment Camp went to the expedition and no grass grew.

Liu Laifu became the military commander of the army, and Zhu Cilang, the imperial village, could only be handed over to Sanxi for management. Fortunately, the imperial village has entered the end of autumn, so there is no need to spend much effort for the time being.

On the map of the Ming Dynasty, if the troops want to advance to Henan, they must first pacify Shanxi. Because the bandits in Shanxi are also growing stronger.

Sun Chuanting guarded Tongguan, and the mess in Shaanxi was enough for him to deal with. He was really unable to enter Henan, and Henan was relatively empty, which gave Li Zicheng the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The court transferred Zuo Liangyu's troops to Henan, but Zuo Liangyu was procrastinating and walked for a long time and marched for only thirty miles. Emperor Chongzhen was furious for this and issued an order to severely scold him.

Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to send troops to Zhuxian Town. The Battle of Zhuxian Town in the Southern Song Dynasty was the last battle of Yue Fei's fourth Northern Expedition. In this battle, the Yue family army attacked the entire line after the Battle of Yingchang and surrounded Kaifeng.

However, when it came to the Ming Dynasty, God seemed to have no intention of favoring the Ming Dynasty. Under the constant urging of Emperor Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyucai had no choice but to fight with Zhu Xianzhen and Li Zicheng.

The ending can be imagined. Zuo Liangyu was defeated and retreated to Kaifeng Prefecture. Li Zicheng's army was in full swing and advanced rapidly.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Hou Xun distributed 500,000 yuan to the commander to reward Zuo Liangyu's subordinates. Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng fought in Zhuxian Town. Zuo Liangyu was defeated and retreated to Xiangyang. After fighting again in Kaifeng, Zuo Liangyu did not dare to fight.

At this time, most of Henan had fallen into the hands of the thief Li Zicheng, and Zuo Liangyu retreated to Kaifeng Prefecture. Hong Niangzi and Li Yan occupied Xinyang City. At present, these two people can pose a threat to Li Zicheng.

However, Li Zicheng was not worried. He lacked everything, but he was not short of soldiers. He fought all the way from Huguang, and Li Zicheng's team grew stronger and stronger.

It seems that Henan is about to become the next Huguang at this time. Zhu Cilang had just left the capital and led the 12th Regiment Battalion south.

Zhu Cilang could not enter Henan directly because he needed himself in Shanxi.

Although the bandits in Shanxi have not formed a large scale, they are still rising and blooming everywhere. If these bandits are not eliminated, they will eventually be a big problem.

The Hu Ben Camp has been a pioneer. Originally, Zhu Cilang wanted to put the Hu Ben Camp behind as his trump card.

But Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong stopped doing it. They said that there is no need to hide it when dealing with the bandits. They fought quickly and tried to wipe them out as soon as possible so that they could bring peace to the people.

Zhu Cixuan thought about it and seemed to be the same. As the only fully equipped cavalry of the 12th Regiment Battalion, the first stop of the Huben Battalion's troops entering Shanxi was to pacify Dingzhou. In the second year of Dading in the Jin Dynasty, the Pingding Army was promoted to pacify Dingzhou and led the two counties of Pingding and Leping. In the Ming Dynasty, Jining Road was changed to Jining Road and still returned to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Shanxi, the full name of Shanxi Chengxun Zhengzhengsi, was referred to as Shanxi Provincial Administration or Henan Province, with a capital of Taiyuan, and it has 4 prefectures, 20 prefectures, 77 counties under its jurisdiction.

Because Datong is located on the border of Mongolia, there are Daming Border Defense Forces stationed, and there are no bandits in the direction of Datong. However, there are several forces in the bandits in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Especially in this direction of Pingdingzhou, there is a bandit called the Frog in the Well, which is said to be as many as a thousand people.

You heard it right. Originally, frog in the well was a derogatory term, describing the person who was short-sighted and never saw the world.

However, there are bandit leaders who use it as nicknames. These bandits want to give themselves a loud name so that they can shock the enemy. The second is that they are afraid that the government will investigate in the future and find their real name and hometown.

I have introduced before that the bandits in the late Ming Dynasty were nicknamed various, such as flying on grass, jumping in pots, and jumping on walls, and many of them were not the most bizarre but the strangest.

Even the court's official documents and war reports said that today's thief's head jumped from the pot, and the one-tailed wolf's head...

Originally, this frog in the well also wanted to give himself a domineering nickname for the king of heaven, dragon and tiger. However, this nickname was used too many times before, and it was like a dog, with dragon and tiger everywhere.

If you give such a nickname again, you have no sense of existence. So you will have a sudden inspiration and you will be nicknamed as a frog in the well. Most of these bandit leaders were ignorant, but his nickname, the frog in the well, made a great Wan'er in Pingdingzhou.

The magistrate of Pingdingzhou was frightened into a turtle. It is said that the frog in the well hit the city of Pingdingzhou seven times, and three times, almost breaking through the city gate.

Although this pacification of Dingzhou is not a strategic location, the so-called city wall is also low and dilapidated. However, it was attacked by a bandit of more than a thousand people seven times in succession, and three of which were almost broken through the city gate.

When the Hu Ben Army arrived to pacify Dingzhou, Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong finally understood the reason. The official record of the Dingzhou was 2,117 soldiers, but in fact only 300 soldiers were brave.

Moreover, there were three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled. The two did not cause trouble for the magistrate. This kind of thing had become a common practice in the Ming Dynasty. The little military pay and food allocated by the court could not afford to support two thousand soldiers.

Three hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, faced with the fierce frog in the well, they just stood on the city wall and beat the gong and set off a few arrows. When the bandits attacked urgently, they would throw a few stones and other things to defend the enemy.

Even when the frog in the well hit the city, the officers and soldiers of the Dingzhou pacified the city did not dare to stand on the city wall. They just hurried in the squadron and shot the other party with cold arrows.

The city walls of Pingdingzhou are too low, so low that they can climb to the height of the city wall by raising bamboo ladders.

As soon as the Hu Ben Army arrived, he rushed to the frog's nest in the well. In just half a day, the Hu Ben Army returned victoriously. The report to the court also read this: The Hu Ben Army entered Dingzhou and captured a frog's head at the well. Seven hundred of its troops were captured, and the rest were killed.

The report did not write that the Hu Ben Army had no casualties.
