    At the beginning of April, spring plowing ends.

    Zhang Xianzhong has completed the assembly of troops and the mobilization of food and grass, and may attack central and northern Anhui at any time.

    At this time, Li Zicheng was about to surround Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen was about to hang himself.

    Wu'an Town, Huangjia Village, where Zhao Han started the incident.

    A group of farmers and soldiers came to Huang Gui's house: "Captain, I heard that other towns are sending troops. Why is there no movement in our village or town?"

    Huang Shui is a veteran with a broken ring finger and little finger on his left hand. He returned to his hometown to serve as the captain and instructor of the peasant army.  Holding a bowl of gruel, he said, "There are too many soldiers in Wuxing Town. We fought wars a few years ago, and every time we sent out peasants, soldiers and peasants. This time, the superiors have said that they will not be recruited from Wuxing Town. You should go home honestly."  go planting."

    "Why don't people come out of Wuxing Town?"

    "That is, when we Wuxing people fight, one can outnumber ten. Our Wuxing Town accounts for half of the governors under Mr. Zhao's command!"

    "Don't send troops to Wuxing Town, let's go to the county to petition!"

    "What is a petition?"

    "You don't even know about petitions? Teacher Zhang said in school that a bunch of people go to the government and ask the government to agree to something, which is a petition."

    "Okay, let's all go to petition!"

    ""

    Huang Shui stood up abruptly, and scolded: "Stop, everyone! Peasants and soldiers are also soldiers, and soldiers should obey military orders. What is the military order now? It is Wuxing Town that does not need to send troops, nor does it need to send out civilian husbands. Everyone go home  , if you can¡¯t find a job to do, hold your own mother-in-law to toss every day, and give Mr. Zhao a few more children to plant the land and pay for food!¡±

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    These words caused a burst of laughter.

    Huang Shui also said: "That Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know what is good or bad. He doesn't grow food himself, so he comes to grab our food. If he takes down Anhui, he will come to Jiangxi to pay for food. Are you willing to let him rob?"

    "I'm not happy, why should we give Zhang Xianzhong the food we grow ourselves?"

    "Captain, that's why we should send troops to help Mr. Zhao kill that son of a bitch Zhang Xianzhong!"

    ""

    "Shut up, listen to me," Huang Shui scolded, "The mayor and the village chief have made it very clear that this year there is a severe drought in the provinces, and Mr. Zhao is also short of food to fight. Since Wuxing Town is not allowed to leave  , then we should produce grain. Mr. Zhao will not let the farmers suffer. This grain bond has interest. If you save it for a few years, you can get back more. My family¡¯s grain will be taken to the government to buy grain bonds.  This year's ration."

    Huang Shui held the porridge and said: "Think about it, go back ten years, what kind of life do we live? Can we afford white rice and drink white rice porridge? I'll take the lead and only eat two meals a day from now on.  , I only eat thin ones for every meal. Eat more sweet potatoes, bracts, and sorghum, and save all the good food and send it to Mr. Zhao to fight! If Mr. Zhao loses, no matter how much food we have left in the family, we will be punished by Zhang Xianzhong  snatch it?"

    "well said!"

    "If you listen to what your boss says, let's not go to war and give Mr. Zhao all the food!"

    "What interest do you need? The land at home is all given by Mr. Zhao, and all the food is donated to the government, as long as there is enough for the family!"

    "Go, donate food!"

    ""

    Regardless of whether Zhao Han calls himself the commander-in-chief, the governor, or sets himself up as the king of Wu, everyone in Wuxing Town loves to be called "Mr. Zhao".

    ?Because Wuxing Town was involved in all previous battles, not only were there many middle and senior military officers, but farmers, soldiers and peasants were also given a lot of land.  Taking the above field as the calculation standard, the land property of the common people in Wuxing Town has reached an average of six mu per person.

    The fields in Wuxing Town have long been insufficient, and new sites are often laid down, and the peasants or farmers and soldiers stay there.  Then their wives and children were also taken away, and the fields were redistributed in new places, and the original fields were distributed to other meritorious persons.

    It can be said that they have a high ideological awareness, and it can also be said that they are an emerging interest group. Anyway, they regard Zhao Han as a bodhisattva god.

    This is not only true of Wuxing Town, but also of the entire Luling County.

    In the early three counties of Luling, Jishui, and Anfu, Zhao Han had a lot of fanatical supporters, and the per capita land property of the three counties has exceeded five acres!

    In order not to affect people's livelihood, it is also to balance the army.  This time in the three counties, very few manpower was transferred, and Wuxing Town was not even allowed to send any more people.

    but¡­¡­

    In the three counties of Luling, Jishui and Anfu, farmers spontaneously set off a vigorous grain donation campaign.

    In front of the bank's grain depot in Wuxing Town, a farmer held up the grain bond and shouted at the crowd: "See, all the grain in my family has been donated. If Mr. Zhao wants grain, just give it. Not to mention the interest, the principal  No need to pay back!"

    After finishing speaking, I tore up the bond in public, and then stuffed it directly into my mouthBai Wenxuan was already confused by the bombing, but he could dispatch two or three thousand troops to go around from both sides across the mountains.  But there may be a lot of deaths on the way, even if you can successfully climb over, it will take a month or two.  After the past, there was no military rations. If you want not to starve to death, you must first rob the village.

    After continuously attacking for half a month, Bai Wenxuan sent someone to ask Liu Wenxiu, but Liu Wenxiu sent someone first.

    "General, Jiuliguan can't be moved, can you move here?"

    "It's hard to beat a fart!"

    In addition to these two checkpoints, you can also go east out of the Dabie Mountains in the south.  However, there are a series of checkpoints such as Dacheng Pass, Baisha Pass, Muling Pass, Huangtu Pass and Hutou Pass.

    There are an average of two barriers in each channel, one is occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, and the other is occupied by the Datong Army.  The passage in the Dabie Mountains is not suitable for a large army to march. It is best to send thousands of partial divisions, but if thousands of partial divisions attack, Zhao Han can send hundreds of peasants and soldiers to defend it.

    Zhang Xianzhong's middle route army was useless, it was blocked by the Dabie Mountains and checkpoints.

    When both sides fight, it depends on the South and North Route Army.

    In mid-April, Chongzhen died.

    Zhao Han took his own soldiers and went to support Guangji in person, where there were Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang.

    The cavalry of Jeju Island also drew a vote.
