PS: Thank you book friends for your rewards 20200102154356364.
Both Shaanxi and Shanxi fell into the hands of the tiger flag, and Yang He failed to become the governor of the trilateral to suppress bandits in Shaanxi as in history.
Similarly, he did not use recruitment as the main force and restraint as in history.
Because he knew that the tiger flag could not accept the court's inviting.
The tiger-shaped flag, which entrenched in Shanxi and Shaanxi, has already become separatist, and it is not easy to recruit the tiger-shaped flag. Moreover, the imperial court tried to recruit the tiger-shaped flag several times and gave Liu Heng the throne to the throne, but failed to recruit the flag successfully.
He did not think that he could bring the rebels, the Tiger Flag, under the command of the imperial court with just one mouth.
The Emperor Daxing could give the rebel leader an earl, but today he was stubborn and hated the bandits who rebeled against the Ming Dynasty the most. He would not give out titles for recruitment, and at most he would give the titles of a few guerrilla generals.
So he knew that the way to recruit people would not work.
But he was not helpless either.
When he was summoned by the emperor, he had already thought about how to deal with the tiger flag and presented his thoughts to the emperor.
There are three steps to deal with the tiger flag.
The first step is to use the troops in Henan to block the invading rebels in Henan Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture.
Then he mobilized troops from the surrounding provinces to come to Henan to assist Henan soldiers in encirclement and suppress the rebels. Relying on the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, he gradually consumed the rebels' elite troops.
The tiger flag ultimately occupies only Shaanxi and Shanxi, and is far from being the essence of the Ming Dynasty, and it is even less able to compete with the Ming Dynasty in terms of national strength.
The tiger flag has always been able to conquer cities and lands with its own strength and strength.
Although there were not many elite troops from the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few soldiers.
In Yang He's view, as long as the elite troops of the rebels were consumed, the court could start counterattacking and recovering lost territory and completely wipe out the rebels of the Tiger Banner.
As for how many Ming troops would be consumed to consume the elite rebel army, he was not worried.
The troops and Dingkou of the Ming Dynasty were many times larger than those of the rebels. A hundred thousand troops were not enough, only 200,000, 300,000, or even 500,000.
As long as he can eliminate the tiger flag, everything is worth it in his opinion.
More importantly, he was recognized and supported by the emperor.
Although he was in Henan to governor of military affairs, the troops from various provinces would be sent to Henan continuously for him to consume the rebels.
This is an open plot, so he is not afraid that the leader Liu Heng, the thief behind the rebels, could see his plan.
Just when Yang He mobilized the troops in Henan, the tiger flag army did not stop after capturing Luoyang City. They divided two partial troops to go to Mengjin and Yanshi respectively.
One is the only way to get from Luoyang to Huaiqing Prefecture, and the other is to open a passage to Kaifeng Prefecture. It can be said that these two locations are important.
However, because Luoyang City fell too quickly, there were not many defenders in Mengjin and Yanshi, and reinforcements did not rush over immediately. Moreover, with the troops of the Ruzhou Guards, they all went to Luoyang City, and Ruzhou was empty and became an empty one.
The tiger flag army in Nanyang Prefecture has given priority attacks.
The army of tiger flags in Henan was in full swing in the military operations of Henan Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture.
Liu Heng, who was far away in Datong Town, immediately received a military report from the army of tiger flags occupying Luoyang City.
"Lord, Yang Yuan is here." Zhao Wu whispered in Liu Heng's ear.
Liu Heng put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the door.
I saw Yang Yuan walking towards this side by the yard.
Yang Yuan handed the pistol on his body to the guards outside the door and walked into the signing room by himself.
"You are here just right. The First War Army Division just sent news and captured Fufan, and seized a large amount of wealth and food. The food alone is enough to support the army's consumption in Henan." Liu Heng smiled and said
Yang Yuan, who came to the front, said.
Attacking Henan is much more cost-effective than attacking Shaanxi.
The tiger flag took over Shaanxi. Even if it was confiscated the vassal palaces in Shaanxi, the seized little thing was not enough to maintain the consumption of Shaanxi. The tiger flag also needed the tiger flag to give Shaanxi blood transfusion.
The tiger flag captured Shaanxi, which was economically a loss-making deal.
But Henan is different, it is really rich.
The gains from capturing the two places in Xia Henan Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture are already comparable to half of Shaanxi.
Yang Yuan said: "Henan is rich, but the court also values ββit. After receiving news, his subordinates have dispatched large troops in Sichuan and Huguang and are rushing to Henan. Depending on the situation, they are going to encircle and suppress our army in Henan."
"This is a good thing." Liu Heng was not anxious at all when he heard the news. He said, "As soon as the troops in Sichuan and Huguang left, it indicates that the gap between the forces in these two places has changed. We only need to annihilate them in Henan.
Reinforcements from two places, we will send troops to Sichuan and Huguang to fight."
"Lord, are you deliberately asking the court to bring the troops from Sichuan and Huguang to Henan?" Yang Yuan looked surprised.
Liu Heng waved his hand gently and said, "I am not that capable, I can still control how the court mobilizes troops. I am not changing and responding to changes. The court does not dispatch troops from these two places to support Henan. We also want it.
If the imperial court mobilizes troops from surrounding provinces, we will just be able to fight rabbits and solve the problem together.β
"We only have tens of thousands of soldiers in Henan, will we be missing a little?" Yang Yuan said worriedly.
The tens of thousands of troops in Henan with the tiger flag had to face the encirclement and suppression of troops from several provinces.
Liu Heng picked up the large teapot on the table and took a sip of boiled water inside. After putting it down, he said, "The elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were all concentrated on the front line of Shanhaiguan. There were not many other places. The First Division faced mainly local guards.
Ma, if you can't win a Henan province like this, don't do it, Chen Xunping's first division commander, and replace it as soon as possible."
The tiger flag takes the elite soldiers' route.
With the military firepower equipped with the tiger flag, a combat division can rub against the ground with tens of thousands of elite troops in the Ming Guanning.
Are there tens of thousands of elite troops in Guanning in Liaodong?
No.
In fact, in Liaodong, there are only a limited number of elite soldiers like Guanning Iron Cavalry, and there are more ordinary battalion soldiers.
There were tens of thousands of Guanning cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. The Eight Banners soldiers who had already held the pseudo-jin were rubbing against the ground, and they would not have to rely on the strong city to resist the pseudo-jin army.
"Lord, is it time for us to expand our army? After we take over Henan, Sichuan and Huguang are also the ones we talk about. If we lack troops, we will easily miss the opportunity to capture these two places." Yang Yuan said.
Hearing this, Liu Heng smiled bitterly.
Of course he wanted to expand his army. If he had enough troops, he could overthrow the Ming Dynasty now.
However, it doesn't work.
Currently, the official number of tiger flags is less than 100,000, including cavalry, dragon cavalry, combat division, and baggage troops. As for peasants, they are not included.
