【Today's third update is delivered!】

It should be noted that the dynasty has done a good job, only in the Liaodong region. Due to the large number of Ming Dynasty and persistent immigrating to the Liaodong region, the Liaodong region has always been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, until the emergence of Nurhaci. It was precisely because of the many Han people in Liaodong that the Ming Dynasty could not give up easily. If it were in the northwest and other places, Liaodong had caused such a big chaos, the court would have left it a long time ago.

In the northwest and southwest areas, the Ming Dynasty did not do very well. It seemed that Gansu Town and others were vast and sparsely populated. The Han people could hardly gain an advantage in the local area. The same was true for Gansu Town at one time. Not to mention Guizhou and other places. Among the three major vanguards of Wanli, the Bobai Rebellion and the Bozhou Rebellion were all typical examples of ethnic minorities causing trouble. The big reason was that the local Han people were not large enough to occupy the mainstream of society.

However, this idea can only be thought about. It is basically impossible to implement. Because no ethnic minority would be willing to move all to the mainland. They have their own customs, their own customs and customs, and some have their own beliefs, and it is impossible to leave their place of residence easily unless they use force to migrate. However, it is another matter. For example, Lan Yu, Fu Youde and others "friendly forced migration" to the Mongolian royal family.

Therefore, no matter who is in power or who holds the highest power, in the end, he has to follow the old path before, which is to continuously migrate Han families to ethnic minority areas to increase the local Han population and gradually assimilate ethnic minority areas. Xu Xingxia's most conservative estimate is that it is impossible to assimilate Gansu Town, Hamiwei, Yarkand and other places without a million people.

The future has a long way to go!

...

After seeing off Bai Xuefei and Gao Yanfei, Xu Xingxia sat alone for a while, and Zhang Tianhao quickly reported: "Sir, the defenders of Guyuan Town have retreated. Our army's Vulture Cavalry troops have entered Guyuan and Qingyang. The vanguard troops of the Vulture Cavalry are advancing towards Fengxiang Mansion and other places. It is estimated that by tomorrow morning, they will be able to control Fengxiang Mansion and other places."

Xu Xingxia nodded and said lightly: "It's almost done."

Xu Xingxia was indeed not very concerned about the news provided by Zhang Tianhao. What is there to be happy about conquering Guyuan Town? The White-Clothed Army has controlled three of the four towns in the northwest, with only one Guyuan Town, and less than half of the territory. Guyuan Town is surrounded by the White-Clothed Army troops. This is a mature peach, and as long as the White-Clothed Army stretches out, it can be picked off. The reason why the White-Clothed Army did not stretch out before was just to wait for it to fall automatically. Now, this peach fell down naturally, and it is natural.

In fact, under the huge pressure of the White-Clothed Army, the defenders of Guyuan Town have been living like years and suffering. The Jiu Cavalry troops under the White-Clothed Army have occupied less than 30 miles from Guyuan, Qingyang and other places, and have implemented lock-ups and encirclements of various towns under Guyuan Town. Many times, the White-Clothed Army cavalry even appeared directly around Guyuan City and Qingyang City, and the defenders could clearly see their existence with their naked eyes.

You said that under such close-range threats, it is conceivable how much mental pressure the Guyuan garrison was. Under the threat of the cavalry of the White Clothes Army, the Guyuan garrison's government troops continued to shrink their troops. Except for the three larger towns, Guyuan, Qingyang, and Pingliang, all the other towns and the government troops gave up. There was no way, they did not have enough troops to garrison. Even if they were garrisoning the three larger towns, the government troops were quite struggling.

Influenced by the White-Clothing Army, the enthusiasm of the lower-class soldiers of the Guyuan Town to escape was unprecedentedly high. Needless to mention the unreliable Guards, they basically fled to the White-Clothing Army. The remaining ones who did not escape also set up committees in their hometowns in various places and connected with the White-Clothing Army. To put it bluntly, they went directly to the White-Clothing Army.

The only thing Guyuan Town can rely on is combat soldiers. However, in the end, the combat soldiers were no longer reliable. Under huge pressure, the combat soldiers also began to flee. According to the organization, Guyuan Town should have an army of more than 57,000. Until now, all of them are estimated to be 8,000. The troops stationed in Qingyang and Pingliang are only a mere 2,000.

With the news of Mo Rigen and Lin Danhan being defeated, the life of the Guyuan Town defenders became even more sad. They were increasingly worried about their future. Everyone knew that once the main force of the White Army was freed up, Guyuan Town would suffer a catastrophe. In three large places, less than 10,000 troops were not the opponents of the White Army? The tragedy between Mo Rigen and Lin Danhan was right in front of them! Not to mention that the main force of the White Army came back, even if the local troops were operating, they could take down these three towns.

The most terrifying thing is that if the White-clothed Army headed south from Yansui Town and directly to Xi'an Prefecture, all the official troops in Guyuan Town would be made into dumplings. At that time, even if they wanted to escape, they would not have a chance. Therefore, the general officers of Guyuan Town hurriedly retreated when they saw that the situation was wrong. Since all the people above had fled, the soldiers below of course also ran away.

However, there were only some officers who retreated in Guyuan Town. Most of the officers and soldiers stayed in place and warmly welcomed the arrival of the White Army. They even put all the supplies left behind and waited for the White Army to accept them. As for the officers who abused the soldiers, they were also killed by the rioters.

For them, the White Army is a savior. As long as they join the White Army, they can obtain their own land, rely on their own hands to work, and live a happy and fulfilling life. What a wonderful thing this is. If it weren't for various reasons, they should have launched a rebellion earlier and allowed the White Army to arrive earlier.

In Qingyang and Pingliang, before the White-Clothed Army arrived, the official army inside took the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the White-Clothed Army into the city. When the White-Clothed Army arrived, the autonomous committees of these two places had been established. Once the White-Clothed Army arrived, various tasks could be carried out in an orderly manner, which saved the White-Clothed Army a lot of things.

Without Guyuan Town, Xi'an Prefecture will naturally be in danger. Without Guyuan Town's cover, the bayonet of the White-Clothed Army would be like directly hitting the gate of Xi'an City. With the current defensive forces of Xi'an City, it would be strange that it could block the attack of the White-Clothed Army.

Zhang Tianhao said gloatingly: "I wonder if Xi'an Prefecture can last until the New Year?"

Xu Xingxia thought of the bitter expressions of the adults in Xi'an City, and her expression was so anxious that she could not help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and said meaningfully: "What do you think? Do you think they can last until the New Year?"

Zhang Tianhao said eagerly: "If you go to Xi'an City in person, they will probably not be able to hold on. You might as well go to Xi'an Prefecture in person so that the people of Xi'an Prefecture can have a stable New Year. This will bring blessings to the world and benefit the people!"

Xu Xingxia laughed and said cheerfully: "Okay, accept your noble words! Let's go to Xi'an City! Notify the hunting cavalry, Qin cavalry, and Han cavalry, I will take them to the outings of Xi'an City!"

...

The end of the 45th year of Wanli was the most painful period for all the officials in Xi'an Prefecture. This is the real year end. The year end before was never so sad. This year's year end was extremely difficult. It is hard to say whether it can pass this year end. All this depends on the thoughts of the White Army.

In the past, under the shadow of the White-Clothed Army, Xi'an Prefecture could barely survive. Their reliance at that time was that the main force of the White-Clothed Army was fighting against the Tatars and Mongols on the Northern Line, and there was not enough force on the Southern Line. However, now, the main force of the White-Clothed Army has been freed up. With the next knife, the idiots can guess where the White-Clothed Army will cut.

Xi'an Prefecture is definitely going to be over. This is the conclusion that all officials agreed upon. With Xu Xingxia's personality, how could he let a piece of fat sway around his mouth without biting it off? Whether from a geographical location, from an economic or military perspective, the white-clothed army will definitely control Xi'an Prefecture in its own hands. In other words, as long as he frees up his hands, Xu Xingxia will immediately take action against Xi'an Prefecture.

But the combat effectiveness of the government troops guarding Xi'an Prefecture is so weak. The current imperial court cannot mobilize many reinforcements for Xi'an Prefecture. Everything has to be solved by relying on the three-sided governor Huang Kezhang to find a way to solve it. But how can he solve it? The only reliance of Xi'an Prefecture is the government troops in Guyuan Town. As long as the government troops in Guyuan Town are still there, Xi'an Prefecture will have more security guarantees. At least, it seems like this.

However, all the adults in Xi'an Prefecture were also very clear that the officials in Guyuan Town were actually ready to apply oil to their feet. If the situation was wrong, they would immediately flee. Maybe if the white-clothed army came, they would run faster than the people in Xi'an Prefecture. Is such an army reliable? Of course, it is not reliable. The army in Guyuan Town is not reliable, and the army coming from Shanxi is even more unreliable.

As the governor of the three sides, Huang Kezhang was really white. Faced with the current dilemma, he could not think of any solution. He would definitely not be able to defeat the White Army. The combat effectiveness of the White Army is obvious to all. This is even himself, and he admires and envies. It would be great if he had such an army that could conquer and fight well under his command! However, if he didn't fight, he could not agree. He could not take the initiative to surrender to the White Army. He believed that he could not do such a backboneless behavior.
