Everyone quickly understood what Zhu Cixuan meant, which was to let the Qing people reveal more flaws and create more conflicts. As long as we remained silent, it would be the greatest help to the entire battle situation.

"When wartime orders, all troops should be on strict alert. Half of the troops must maintain combat state. The remaining people can take a short rest. For all prefectures and counties in Zhili except the capital, the reform system will be fully implemented."

The situation in the capital was basically decided, even if it was almost the same as in Wuchang. After siege Wuchang, it mainly occupied the entire Huguang area. The Ming Dynasty court was also very experienced in this.

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

In addition to the military generals under Hu Qiang, there were many civil servants who rushed from Nanjing. These people, led by Zhao Fangzheng, should now start implementing people's livelihood strategies.

Zhu Cixuan had already told them that military offensive and appeasement of the people are actually complementary. If the latter item is not done well, the victory of the military offensive will be greatly reduced.

Occupy a place is not only about driving away the people here, but also about appeaseing the people here, and then resuming production and no longer asking the court for things. This is the complete occupation of the place.

The final result is to become a tax place for the court. Of course, it is too early to make this step, but it is definitely not too early to appease the people's livelihood.

"How is the situation over Hauge?"

When talking about this, Zhu Cilang had a very headache.

Now, in addition to Zheng Sen's army, Zhu Cixuan also mobilized two other troops into Shaanxi in the hope of blocking Haoge, but we are passive after all, and there was no good news when the memorial was sent two days ago.

"If you go back to the prince, there is still no progress. This guy Haoge has tasted the sweetness now, so he divided his troops into small pieces, about two or three thousand people into a small team, running around in Shaanxi, causing Zheng Sen to make no progress."

Shi Kefa has been prepared long ago, which is also an important issue today.

This matter cannot be blamed for Zheng Sen, mainly because of the gap between the two sides.

Of course, it is not just the difference between war horses. Zhu Cilang also asked General Li Yan that even if we were given enough war horses, we might not be able to catch up with the Qing soldiers.

War horses are just one aspect, and the most important thing is the quality of soldiers.

If we talk about head-on combat with muskets, we don’t know how much our combat quality will surpass them, but if we ride around on horseback, the soldiers here will be much worse.

Now this guy Haoge has found their advantage, so he ran around all over Shaanxi, without giving us any chance.

We set up a heavy defense line in one place, but Haoge and others are all cavalrymen, and they turn around quickly. They will never get entangled with us in such a place and will immediately go to another unguarded area.

If Shaanxi was the place we occupied before, we could set up blockades in various places. But after all, we just arrived here, and we had various conflicts with the local people and Li Zicheng's army.

If you want to turn this place into our own base, it is not realistic for the time being, so you can only continue to increase troops to Shaanxi.

But in this way, our transportation supply line will be lengthened, which is also a huge test for the court.

At present, there is no second way for the supply of the Ming Dynasty court to enter Shaanxi. It can only go along the line of Wuchang, which has wasted a lot of journeys. Now running around, causing greater difficulties in transportation. Therefore, Shaanxi is currently the biggest dilemma for the court.

"How many imperial troops are there in Shaanxi at present?"

Zhu Cixuan sent three waves of troops in total, but the specific number was not clear. Ye Yun sent him from Wuchang. In Zhu Cixuan's mind, the army in Shaanxi should not be a decimal.

"If you say that to the prince, the court will send three batches of troops in total, and General Ye Yun will send two batches of troops. At present, there are about twelve infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments, and two artillery regiments in the entire Shaanxi territory. "

When he heard Shi Kefa's report, not only Zhu Cilang was shocked, but also the people around him.

I used to treat Haoge as a bunch of mobs, thinking that after they left Wuchang, they would be toothless tigers. We could do whatever we wanted to do, but I didn't expect that now, we have dispatched a hundred thousand troops and have no way to catch him. This is indeed surprising.

The daily expenses of the 120,000 troops must be much higher than those in the capital. After all, the supply line in the capital is relatively short, and most of the troops are stationed here and there, and only a small number of patrol teams are running around outside.

All the troops in Shaanxi were led by Haoge. They were stationed here today, and they would definitely cost several times more than those in the capital.

"I originally thought that letting Dorgon and others persuaded surrender was the icing on the cake, but now it seems that this is definitely not a trivial matter."

Zhu Cilang stared at the sand table in front of him and had to say this.

Others thought that Dorgon’s strategy was not very useful, and now it is the same as the Crown Prince’s idea. It seems that Dorgon is still an important role. If he can make Haoge’s army collapse, we can make some concessions.

Shaanxi Ming Military Camp.

Zheng Sen and his men just came in from outside, and everyone was in vain.

He just received the news that there was a Manchu cavalry thirty miles away from them. He immediately took his subordinates to wipe out the news. Who knew that someone would send back the news on the way, and the Manchu cavalry retreated to the west.

Zheng Sen set up blockades on both sides of the southeast, just to destroy this Qing cavalry, but unexpectedly they ran to the west. Even if they took a big circle from the west, they could quickly return to Haoge's military camp, which was just a few hours.

Sitting in his tent, Zheng Sen sighed and ran around like this every day, but there was no turning point yet.

This is completely different from fighting in Wuchang. At that time, we had an absolute advantage and could do whatever we wanted to do. Now, we were not able to find any initiative at all. We were led by Haoge people and ran around Shaanxi. Now our morale is a little depressed.

"Report to the general that the cavalry regiment has arrived in Yulin."

When Zheng Sen heard this news, his eyes lit up. This was one of the few good news...
