Turning the time back to the beginning of the fifth year of Dongxiao, according to the agreement between Nikan and Li Zicheng, January of this year was the day when the Daxia Kingdom took back the land of Longyou.

At the beginning of the year, the new legion that was reorganized at Shanhaiguan had been completed. In addition to the three original legions of Zhuketu, Xiao Alin and Chuckdan, three new legions were added.

The Dashun Army surrendered in a series of battles near Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui Ming Army and Tang Tongming Army had 50,000 or 60,000. Most of the Dashun Army were cavalry, and Wu Sangui's army also had some cavalry and quite a few infantry. After mixing with the original three legions, there were about 20,000 people left. Only a few of these people were willing to go back to their hometown to farm. In the end, Nikan had no choice but to organize them into the navy.

Some of them were directly on board for training, while some entered shore facilities under the jurisdiction of the navy.

According to the scale of the main battleship "Ode to Falcon" series in the current new fleet of the Daxia Navy, the body is twelve zhang long, three zhang wide and three zhang high. The redundant part of the place is at least 15,000 cubic meters of internal space. The ship has two straight decks, plus the part used to adjust the waterline on the bottom floor, a total of three layers.

In this way, each floor will have five hundred cubic meters of space. Of course, this is definitely not possible. Watertight compartments, ballast stones, cargo compartments, artillery, ammunition, water, spare masts, sails, nails, paint, etc. can occupy at least half of the space. In this way, the navy can only have two hundred cubic meters of rest, which is ideal. In the end, there are three hundred sailors standard for large ships like the Peregrine Falcon.

There are 300 sailboats covering a large number of sailboats on the first deck, as well as a large number of gunners on the following two levels of artillery decks. The ship is equipped with forty bronze cannons, and at least one hundred gunners are needed. The first deck is responsible for sailboats and helms, and at least one hundred people are watching.

Among the remaining 100 people, there are medical staff, carpenters and blacksmiths, and at least twenty people are needed. Therefore, about eighty people can be used for fighting. Of course, once the boarding battle is needed, the sailors and gunners on the first deck can come up to participate in the battle.

Among the eighty people, according to the latest plan of Nikan and Sun Jiaji, each large ship like the Peregrine Falcon needs to be equipped with at least thirty Marines. They not only need to learn all the operations on the ship, but also become the pioneers of landing.

There are four Peregrine Falcons, one flagship, the Golden Eagle, two Swifts, and two Albatrosses. No matter how big or small, each ship is equipped with a Marine Corps, with an average of thirty people, and there are 270 people in this way.

Marines with a fleet and a battalion-level organization will board a small boat under the cover of large ships and cannons during combat and quickly approach the land. The boat also carried 200 kilograms of Franc cannons, army standard flintlock guns, short guns, horizontal swords, and thunder. Such configurations can be used to keep the land firmly for a period of time after occupying a land, until the arrival of a large number of troops.

Now there are four new fleets under the Hanhai Army, which are only one thousand people and one Marine Corps.

According to the average of 300 people, a fleet is 2,700 people, and four fleets are more than 10,000 people. If the old-fashioned Saha Company, Shilekka, and Causal Level are added, the number of people will be doubled.

The 20,000 navy is still a bit stretched for the Daxia Kingdom. After taking Shandong, Huang Fei's surrender and the captured sailors of Zheng Sen's fleet are tantamount to the timely help of the Daxia Kingdom. If these surrendered troops are added, it would be no problem to form four fleets three or five years later.

These surrendered soldiers that did not meet the needs of the army were thrown into the navy and naturally had to go through a round of selection. It is estimated that only about half of them could stay. However, after the training of the Hanhai Army, these people did not have any way out. Their own merchant ships and private merchant ships were needed by the Daxia Kingdom.

The rest can only make a living by yourself.

In Kakeduli, Shanxi, Alina, Hebei, and Akdun, Shandong, used the autumn and winter seasons to surrender the army in various places. A new army was formed among the young and strong. Naturally, such legions could not be all organized according to the previous regulations of the Hanhai Army, but instead, they were reversed, three infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade.

In this way, after the Great Xia Kingdom captured the three provinces north of the Yellow River, six new legions were added. Adding to the previous ones (Zhuketu, Xiao Alin, Chukdan, Akdun, Enso, Guo Tiancai, Wang Chengluan, and the independent brigades near Gansu, Ningxia and Khalkha), there were a total of fourteen legions.

Nearly 170,000 permanent troops, if the local guard forces in some cities are added, close to 200,000, this is the greatest force of the Great Xia Kingdom. It seems to be quite a lot, but it is not enough to be deployed on such a vast land.

However, for the Han Hai Army, which is equipped with a large number of firearms, these forces are enough.

A newly formed legion commander fell on Yang Tingdong's head, and the cavalry brigades previously set up in Qin Wangchuan, Baicheng and Wuda, with 20,000 people, mostly cavalry, which was used by Yang Tingdong to receive all the troops in Longyou.

Of course, just in case, Nikan asked Chuckdan to bring a legion into Fengzhou to pick up Yang Tingyu at any time.

According to the previous agreement with Li Zicheng, the two sides will divide the territory with the boundaries of the west, Weishui, Longshan/Liupanshan and Guyuan. After that, the entire Ningxia Guard and Lintao Prefecture will fall into the hands of the Daxia Kingdom, while the entire Taozhou Guard and Minzhou Guard will fall into the hands of the Dashun Kingdom, while the Gongchang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion will fall into the hands of the two sides.

After Li Zicheng returned to Xi'an, he lost the big loss and not only lost more than 70 million taels of silver he had worked hard to collect, but also almost threw away the entire Zhongquan private army. Although Tian Jianxiu's Wubiao Camp and Gao Yigong and others' four camps were still there, they were still seriously injured.

In theory, they should honestly accept the contract with Nikan and withdraw their troops from the entire Longyou. However, when Li Zicheng returned to Xi'an, he changed his mind with the instigation of Niu Jinxing, who was released and assisted the queen, Tian Jianxiu's adviser Gu Junen, who guarded Xi'an.

Naturally, he did not dare to blatantly oppose the Daxia Kingdom, but he "openly built a plank road and secretly traveled to Chencang" and secretly sent Gu Junen to Qinghai.

It is said that since the defection of Ezhe of the Chahar tribe occurred, Gushikhan made a quick decision and did two major things.

First, he secretly reached a secret agreement with Abdullahhe of the Yarkand Khanate. His army withdrew from the Hotan area and only retained the Ruoqiang to Lop Nur. Of course, a large number of craftsmen in the Hotan area were moved away by him.

His move immediately put his ally, his nephew, and the Great Khan Ezirtu of the Little Heshuot Khanate on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, into a state of embarrassment (Batur gradually became alienated from him, and the Yarkand Khanate was his feud, and the Daxia Kingdom in the east was not something he could compete with).

Second, Chahar, Khalkha and Tumote herders in Qinghai were forced to believe in the Yellow Cult without condition.

He personally led a large army to guard the Dongkeer and Haiyan area in the Huangshui Valley, and asked his second son, Omubu, Chechen to guard the newly occupied Guasha Prefectures (Dunhuang area), and to suppress Gansu at both ends.

Among them, there were 20,000 cavalry in Chechen in Omubu, and nearly 30,000 troops east of Qinghai Lake. He was trying hard to teach the Daxia Kingdom a lesson.

Coincidentally, he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to intervene in Gansu, and Li Zicheng's envoy arrived.

But at the beginning, he did not agree to Li Zicheng.

He has experienced the powerful combat power of Hanhai Army twice. Not only that, his two sons (Dorji, Darante) also died at the hands of each other. Although he had unimaginable hatred, as a leader who could leapt into Qinghai with ten thousand light cavalry and defeated Tumot in one fell swoop, and 40,000 elite cavalry of the Khalkha Alliance, he was definitely not a reckless person.

At this time, he did not know about the war at Shanhaiguan. Even if he knew, he would not know that Li Zicheng had reached a secret peace with Nikan.

Li Zicheng's conditions were also very simple. He gave up Ganzhou, Suzhou and Xining himself and bought war horses from him. Of course, the cost of buying war horses was calculated separately.

Such preferential conditions naturally aroused Gu Shihan's suspicion, but with his identity and status, it is impossible to find out the tricks behind Li Zicheng's hiding.

For him, Xining was not very meaningful with the entire Qinghai Lake, but it would be completely different if Ganzhou and Suzhou were held in his hands. In that case, he would not only obtain a large number of Han people, but also completely open up the Heihe River flowing through Ganzhou, and also take Yanzhi Mountain, the holy land of the former Huns.

What's more, he has already taken over Guasha Prefectures. If he takes over Gansu and Su Prefectures, he will occupy most of the Hexi Corridor.

However, as a hero of his life, he also knew that others would not give up their territory in vain. On the one hand, he stabilized the envoy and on the other hand, he asked around. As a force that already occupied the Qinghai Lake area, he also had no shortage of Han people under his command. After this inquiry, he found clues.

"Damn, I've actually bullied Ben Khan's head."

He found out one thing, that is, Li Zicheng once led a large army to the north, and once occupied Beijing, forcing the Emperor of Ming to death, but he was defeated by Hanhai Army in the Shanhaiguan area and eventually lost the entire land of Hebei.

In this way, Li Zicheng's plan will be very obvious, letting himself occupy these places to confront Han Haijun so that he can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!

So he pretended to agree to the envoy's opinion and agreed on the day to hand over the city.

When that day came, he personally brought the army to the vicinity of Suzhou, and asked his fourth son Bayan to take the army to Xining.

Before this, Li Zi became the surrendered Ming army to stabilize Gansu. He had already asked the general Lin Yangcheng, who was guarding this place to design and kill the general Li Qifeng of Gansu Town and the general Yang Daoxian of Xining!

After Gushikhan entered Suzhou, he immediately asked his second son Omubu to lead 20,000 cavalry to Ganzhou, and he led 10,000 cavalry to hand over to Suzhou.

Bayan led 10,000 cavalry troops to the city of Xining.

What Li Zicheng did not expect was that after accepting the city, the Mongols did not garrison on the spot, but looted the city pool and swept away all the people in and outside the city.

Afterwards, he sent 5,000 cavalry to guard Jiayuguan, and placed the people of Ganzhou and Suzhou in Guazhou and Shazhou, and placed the people of Xining in Haiyan!

Not only Li Zicheng was stunned, but even Yang Tingdong, who came to take over the entire Shaanxi Xingdusi, was also stunned. In his hands, Xining was fine. In the previous battles, Xining City had become an empty city, but the most important Ganzhou, Suzhou, was actually the same!

Gu Shihan moved the people away in a short period of time, so it was naturally impossible to move them cleanly. In the end, Yang Tingdong found out the whole story.

He immediately reported the message to Nikan from Beijing.

Nikan also fell into deep thought after hearing the news.

Needless to say, this matter was ruined by Li Zicheng, but if there is a big war at this time, the three provinces of Hebei will inevitably not be stable. However, if Li Zicheng is let go of Gushi Khan, how can the prestige of our Daxia Kingdom be maintained?

Just so happened that at this time, the three legions of Zhuketu, Xiao Alin and Chuckdan were trained in Shanhaiguan. He gritted his teeth and decided to launch a fatal blow to the Dashun Army in January.

He took Xiao Alin and Chuckdan two legions, and Sun Chuanyu took Zhuketu and three legions, with a total of 60,000 troops, plus Nikan’s own three thousand personal guards.

At the end of January, Zhuketu Sun Chuanyu's army suddenly arrived near Yulin, and surrounded Yulin without paying attention. In a field battle, the Han Navy defeated Gao Yigong's vanguard camp who had left the city to fight. At this time, the original Yulin surrender You Shilu and others closed the city gate. Gao Yigong and others could not be unable to abandon Yulin and fled to Yan'an.

Zhuketu's army chased after him and defeated Gao Yigong again in a short period of time, occupying Yan'an Prefecture again!

At this time, Zhang Yong, the general of Ningxia of the former Ming Dynasty, saw this, simply killed the Ningxia Jiedushi appointed by Li Zicheng, opened the city gate and put the cavalry brigade guarding Wuda into the city.

The cavalry brigade guarding Baicheng cooperated with Zhuketu's army to continue to move south. Finally, Zhuketu's troops surrounded Pingliang again. At this time, Li Zicheng had already reacted, but this time he did not take action. Tian Jianxiu led Wubiao Battalion to fight Zhuketu near Pingliang Mansion, but he still returned in a disastrous defeat.

On the other side, Nikan did not stop after arriving in Suzhou, but led Xiao Alin and Chuckdan to continue moving westward!

The goal this time is also very simple.
Chapter completed!
