At this stage of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many dark places, and many hidden dangers are still emerging. However, under the central position of Emperor Chongzhen, there have been some major changes.

For example, the court.

For example, place.

Only by placing a group of pragmatic and hard-working talents in appropriate positions, giving them absolute trust, and serving as their backbone can we achieve these changes.

"Commander Zhou, this is the latest list of people who have entered the martial arts hall with the army on merit." Chen Jisheng walked into the commander's tent and saw Zhou Yuji standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the map, and stepped forward and said.

"The previous batch of students from the Jiangwu Hall have been transferred to various departments to solidify their foundation. Now our Yongwei camp has a firm foothold in the Liangshan area."

As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on Chen Jisheng's face. Looking back on the situation he encountered when he first arrived in Shaanxi, he really didn't want to think too much about it.

The territory of Shaanxi is really chaotic.

It can be said that there is rebellion everywhere.

Chen Jisheng was considered to have seen the world, but when he rushed to Shaanxi with the army, he felt a little chilled in his heart when he saw the tragic scenes.

This is really the time of disaster, and people are no longer human.

"Among this batch of specially recruited students, those who are as fierce as tigers and those who are as powerful as tigers must be taken special care of." Zhou Yuji took the list of personnel, read it carefully, and said to Chen Jisheng.

"Although these two people are just soldiers outside the Great Wall, their bravery and abilities are extremely outstanding. If they can be trained well, they will be rare warriors.

At present, our Yongwei camp, adhering to what His Majesty said before, is to fortify strongholds and fight stupid battles. From Hancheng side, we have completely controlled the entire Liangshan area.

However, whether it is the neighboring Yan'an Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, or other prefectures and counties, the rebel bandit forces are extremely rampant.

No matter what, we cannot let the bandits who are wreaking havoc in Shaanxi rush into Shanxi's rule. If that happens, the situation will become even more unfavorable."

Since he led his troops to Shaanxi to rule, the burden on Zhou Yuji's shoulders has continued to increase with the passage of time.

Although at the head of the Yongwei camp, there was an expatriate leader who was sent to suppress the rebellion. There was the Counselor Jin Sheng, holding the Emperor's Sword, who was responsible for the Yongwei camp's suppression of the rebellion in Shaanxi.

But that's just a cover.

According to the original words of Counselor Jin Sheng, the purpose of the Yongwei Camp was to mediate officialdom, provide logistical support, and appease the people during the counter-insurgency period in Shaanxi, and the former commander of the rebellion was fully responsible.

Matters related to countering the rebellion, recruiting new soldiers, where to station, etc. are all decided by you, the commander of the Yongwei Battalion. You only need to submit a corresponding memorial to the emperor through the counterinsurgency commander.

With such trust and reliance on Emperor Chongzhen, stubborn people like Zhou Yuji could only fight to the death to repay the emperor's kindness.

When it comes to some important arrangements, including major matters such as recruiting new recruits, Zhou Yuji will discuss them with Jin Sheng.

Of course, it was like pretending to be a bandit under a secret order, robbing local evil gentry and doing evil things, without revealing anything to the outside world. After all, once this matter was spread, the impact would be too bad.

Even the generals who participated in the robbery, including the soldiers led by his subordinates, were carefully selected by Zhou Yuji. Even after carrying out the robbery many times, he would strictly order them to return to the capital and accept re-distribution.

It's just that Zhou Yuji's mood has not been very good recently.

'I wonder what measures will be taken if His Majesty really finds out about the sect and vassal affairs that he has found out.' Holding the list in his hand, Zhou Yuji had a lot of thoughts, 'If we want to get rid of the Qin vassal, we can't select generals.

General, this is the Huangming ethnic group after all.'

Chen Jisheng felt very strange. He didn't know why. He always felt that his coach was hiding something, but he didn't know what it was.

Since the Yongwei Battalion was ordered to go to Shaanxi, although the amount of various types of military supplies consumed has been a bit more, in terms of food and grass, it is relatively good.

After all, there were robbing evil gentry and hegemony, and they were covered up in the name of suppressing bandits. These days, they were not exposed. Even the establishment of the Yongwei Battalion was expanded to more than 30,000 people. There was no leftover from the 50,000 personnel set by the emperor.

How much.

And following the idea of ​​"building a strong base and fighting a dull war", it was implemented in the Yongwei Camp, supplemented by small-unit operations such as blitzes and breakthrough attacks.

This allowed the rebels to recruit more than 30,000 auxiliary troops under the name of the former commander of the bandit quelling the rebellion, which was used for the transportation of grain and grass for various ministries and various military supplies.

Zhou Yuji is a loyal and loyal commander. He knows very well that the foreign emperor's orders will be rejected. However, in order to avoid certain situations, all the positions in the Yongwei Battalion under his command are combat soldiers, such as logistics support and logistics escort.

Etc., it is all the responsibility of the bandits to suppress the rebellion.

Jin Sheng looked serious and walked quickly into the commander's tent. When he saw Zhou Yuji and Chen Jisheng were there, he immediately said: "Commander Zhou, Commander Chen, there is a problem under the Xi'an government."

"Counsellor Jin, what happened?" Zhou Yuji heard this and immediately looked at Jin Sheng and said, "But the bandits are going to attack Xi'an City?"

Affected by Zhou Yuji's troops going to Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou was promoted to governor of Shaanxi, and Chen Qiyu was promoted to governor of Yansui, all the channels from Shaanxi to Shanxi were blocked.

In particular, the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji pursued the idea of ​​fortifying strongholds and fighting stupid battles. After experiencing the First World War in Hancheng, he asked Hong Chengchou to see the difference. This made Hong Chengchou learn the lesson, and Chen Qiyu also followed.

.

According to the original historical trajectory, a group of bandits like Wang Zuoguan, including Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, and Gao Yingxiang, would all rush into Shanxi one after another.

This resulted in the Ming Dynasty being completely passive in countering rebellion.

But the current situation is that Wang Zuo is dead, Wang Jiayin and his group are wandering all over Shaanxi, and the passage east to Shanxi is completely blocked.

"That's right!"

Jin Sheng frowned and said: "Fleeing south to come under the rule of Qingyang Prefecture, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and other tribes, for some unknown reason, actually moved to fight under the rule of Xi'an Prefecture.

At present, the Xi'an City area is filled with a large number of bandits. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province, sent people to ask for help..."

After listening to what Jin Sheng said, Zhou Yuji looked serious and turned to look at the map in front of him. Judging from the current situation, the pressure on Yansui has been reduced a lot.

However, the situation south of Shaanxi has become not so good.

"Shuai Zhou, according to the current situation, the raging bandit forces may have signs of turning to Hanzhong Mansion."

Chen Jisheng frowned and said to Zhou Yuji: "If this is the case, this is not a good thing. Once the bandits invade Hanzhong, then the heart of our Ming Dynasty will be exposed to the bandits."

"This is indeed the case."
