(In extreme anger, all drunk driving should die!)

Let’s talk about Gao Yingxiang’s hearing that the Cavalry Camp had eaten more than 2,000 elite cavalrymen, safely returned to Yinzhuang Camp. He was furious and commanded the brothers Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen to punish fifty military sticks, and ordered them to temporarily hold their heads and make meritorious.

New and old hatreds piled up together, and Gao Yingxiang wished he could eat Lin Chunhong's flesh to vent his hatred in his heart.

However, Lin Chunhong and Nanyang City formed a horn force, which made Gao Yingxiang very difficult, just like a dog holding a hedgehog, and didn't know where to start.

Among the generals, Huang Long and Wang Guangen were a little knowledgeable, so Gao Yingxiang called the two to discuss.

Wang Guangen's stick sores were not healed, so Gao Yingxiang specially prepared a soft couch for him, which made Wang Guangen cry and planned for Gao Yingxiang: "Yinzhuang and Nanyang City are mutually supportive. If Nanyang is attacked, Yinzhuang will definitely send troops to help, but if Yinzhuang is attacked, Nanyang has few soldiers, they may not necessarily send reinforcements..."

Gao Yingxiang pondered and said, "Attack Yinzhuang? I'm afraid it won't work! Its artillery number is large and powerful, so it is even more powerful when defending the village!" After the Battle of Guankou, Gao Yingxiang was deeply impressed by the defensive ability of the Jingzhou army and felt that it was inappropriate to attack Yinzhuang.

Wang Guangen shook his head and said, "King, Lin Chunhong has all the infantry under his command. Why not attack Nanyang and lure Lin Chunhong into division of troops to reinforce Nanyang? Once Lin Chunhong's reinforcements leave Yinzhuang, how can he be the opponent of our elite cavalry?"

Gao Yingxiang hesitated. After the battle in Chuzhou, he was still scared of attacking Jiancheng and instinctively rejected the attack on Nanyang City.

Huang Long was good at figuring out Gao Yingxiang's thoughts and immediately realized that Gao Yingxiang neither wanted to attack Yinzhuang nor Nanyang. It was just because of his hatred for Lin Chunhong that he had been reluctant to leave Nanyang and had been circulating until now.

Huang Long said: "Even if Lin Chunhong divides his troops, it is difficult to fight. After all, Lin Chunhong knows that we have more than 20,000 elite cavalry, and reinforcements must be very vigilant. Once they are arranged in a formation, should we attack? Or give up? If we attack, the losses will inevitably be heavy. If we give up, what is the point of attacking Nanyang? It consumes only the force of troops!"

"Your Majesty, why don't we raise food and grass in Nanyang and strengthen our men and horses. Lin Chunhong is afraid of our cavalry and will not dare to show up. After we have enough food and grass and strong soldiers, we will bypass Nanyang and go south, pass through Yunyang, Hanzhong to southern Shaanxi, join Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong to develop again!"

When Gao Yingxiang heard this, he felt unhappy. Isn’t this fucking saying that I’m afraid of Lin Chunhong? Lin Chunhong is the old man, just a clown with a stinky breast!

However, what Huang Long said about raising food and strengthening the power was considered to be in Gao Yingxiang's heart.

Gao Yingxiang said with a sigh: "This time in Nanyang, we must take Lin Chunhong's life! Let's raise food and grass first, strengthen our troops, and then find Lin Chunhong's bad luck..."

...

Within a few days, Gao Yingxiang's 100,000 troops rushed out of the Jiangzhuang camp like hornets, and rushed towards the unarmed ordinary people like locusts.

The bandit! The bandit is the one who deserves death!

The farm in Biyang County was originally a barren mountain village. Although the years have not been good, the villagers have at least stored some winter food, and they can barely survive the summer harvest next year, and their lives are still calm. However, all this was interrupted by the vicious bandits. When the villagers heard the bandits attack, they immediately took their families and ran into the mountains with their grain.

As soon as they ran out of the village entrance, they were forced back by the bandits. The bandits held long spears and steel knives, and like a ferocious spirit, they snatched all the food they had spent the winter, and killed all the men who dared to resist...

That's not all, the bandits pulled out the young wife and the older girl from the crowd and ruined them wantonly...

Then, the bandits lit a huge fire, burned the farmland into white land, and carried the villagers toward Haozhai, continuing their looting journey.

The gangsters among the villagers joined the robbery ranks, imposing everything the bandits did in the farm on Haozhai...

Some desperate villagers also joined the bandits, and Gao Yingxiang's bandits expanded rapidly, and in just three days, it almost reached 150,000!

There were also some gentry who refused to join the bandits when they died. They fled to the south and gathered near Nanyang City, becoming refugees without food and clothing.

The entire Yuzhou and the northern part of Nanyang Prefecture have almost become hell on earth. This is the most miserable thing in the world!

※※※※

It’s cold and freezing, resettlement of refugees is a big problem!

Whether it is Bao Zhedong, Zheng Fulin, Lin Chunhong, and Lu Shiming, they all believe that refugees must not be allowed to enter the city. Nanyang City is not big and there is not much grain reserve, so how can it accommodate more than 100,000 refugees? Moreover, the bandits are accustomed to working inside and outside to break through the city, and allowing refugees to enter the city is tantamount to burying a time bomb.

Bao Zhedong was anxious. He served as an official for many years and knew that if more than 100,000 refugees outside the city could not be properly resolved, once Gao Yingxiang led his troops south, these refugees would turn into bandits at any time and become a nightmare in Nanyang City.

Moreover, Bao Zhedong also knew that only Lin Chunhong had the ability to deal with so many refugees.

So, Bao Zhedong found Lin Chunhong as soon as possible and asked for support. He didn't know that Lin Chunhong was also having a headache about the refugees.

The Jingzhou Army was considered to be famous in Nanyang. At the beginning of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Nanzhao Battle blocked Li Zicheng's pace of going south and made the people of Nanyang remember the name of the Jingzhou Army. Later, Zuo Liangyu robbed Xinye and Tang County, but was cut off his head in a few seconds by the Jingzhou Army, which made the people of Nanyang realize the ability of the Jingzhou Army. Not long ago, Lin Chunhong destroyed nearly 10,000 Gao Yingxiang's cavalry, which made the people of Nanyang completely believe that the Jingzhou Army could easily drive the bandits out and give Nanyang a peaceful living environment.

More importantly, unlike other officers and soldiers, the Jingzhou army never robbed or disturbed the people, which made the people feel good about the Jingzhou army and they were unwilling to escape from the protection of the Jingzhou army.

The people were unwilling to leave Yinzhuang, but Lin Chunhong was in trouble. In order to supply the 30,000 to 40,000 troops northward, Jingzhou Group not only brought the potential of the Transport Department to the extreme, but also mobilized a large number of civilians to engage in Transport. Where can they have spare time to transport food to the north to help refugees?

"Lin Junmen, when the granaries are full, you know etiquette; when the food and clothing are enough, you know honor and disgrace; if there is no food, refugees will become bandits at any time. Today, there was a refugee riot due to lack of food and clothing. I finally suppressed it. This is not a solution!"

Bao Zhedong found Lin Chunhong anxiously and bluntly pointed out the urgent and sinister situation.

"This group of refugees is really heartbreaking. They will never leave Nanyang even if they die. Xiangyang is not without food, and it is not a problem to support millions of idle people. The problem now is that the food cannot be transported at all!"

After hearing this, Bao Zhedong was completely blind and couldn't speak.

In the end, Bao Zhedong was discouraged and bowed: "I was an official in Nanyang for three years, which was considered to be frightened for three years and was exhausted. After repelling the Gao thief, I was ready to indulge in the mountains and rivers. I have seen the power of the military gate for a long time. I hope that the military gate will be more than 700,000 people in Nanyang, and must protect the villagers and return a peaceful and prosperous era in Nanyang!"

After saying that, Bao Zhedong bowed to Lin Chunhong solemnly, said goodbye and left.

This statement is tantamount to telling Lin Chunhong clearly that after repelling Gao Yingxiang, Nanyang will take over Lin Chunhong's role and will never set any obstacles.

Lin Chunhong felt something in his heart. He was frowning and pondering. Suddenly, the chief military and political manager Tang Wenjie asked for a meeting.

Tang Wenjie was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He was originally a regent of Jingzhou Prefecture. After Lin Chunhong completely undermined Jingzhou Prefecture, after some thought and measurement, he simply defected to Lin Chunhong. Lin Chunhong found that Tang Wenjie was proficient in the law and placed him in the position of the general manager of the Jingzhou Department of the Supervision Administration.

Tang Wenjie had an active thinking, outstanding literary talent, and eloquent talent. He often participated in debates at Xingzhishu Hall, and made a great reputation among scholars, which was highly valued by Lin Chunhong. Later, after the establishment of the Military and Political Department, Lin Chunhong appointed Tang Wenjie as the general manager of the Military and Political Department.

After Tang Wenjie took charge of the Military and Political Department, he relied on his profound legal skills to promote the Governor's Office and reward and punish all matters, which was unanimously recognized by the soldiers.

This time, Lin Chunhong led his army northward, and led Tang Wenjie to the left and right, and appointed him as the chief military and political manager of the camp.

"General Manager Tang, what's the matter with this time?" Lin Chunhong asked directly without waiting for Tang Wenjie to salute.

Tang Wenjie passed the military salute meticulously and replied: "After returning to the military gate, since the high thieves plundered a large-scale army, there was a worry and a joy within the Jingzhou army, and he needed to report to the military gate."

"Oh? Where is the worry? Where is the joy?"

Tang Wenjie bowed and said with a sigh: "A worry lies in the disarray of morale in the army! In the Jingzhou army, when the soldiers joined the army, the military gate focused on teaching. The Jingzhou army was the soldiers of their fathers and children, fighting to the death, just to protect the elders and villagers from being bandits, and to protect the enemy from being poisoned by the enemy. In recent years, the military gate did what they said, the Jingzhou army protected one prefecture and two prefectures in Huguang, providing a rare paradise for the elders. The soldiers were deeply grateful for the military gate, and they engraved the teachings of the military gate deeply into their bones and never dared to forget them for a moment! However, now the elders of Nanyang have been plundered and killed by the bandits. What should the soldiers think about the military gate?"

Tang Wenjie said so much, and Lin Chunhong attributed it to one sentence: The Jingzhou Army is a army of faith, and now that faith has been impacted, the Jingzhou Army is facing the danger of disintegration of morale.

Lin Chunhong was about to argue, but he didn't expect Tang Wenjie to say endlessly: "This is a worry. A joy is that the soldiers witnessed the bandits and harmed the villagers with their own eyes, and they were all angry and vowed to fight to the death with the bandits. The morale of the army is available and the morale is available!"

After saying that, Tang Wenjie was convinced and said, "My subordinates beg to send troops to fight against the Gao bandits, for the sake of the Jingzhou army and for the people of Nanyang!"

Lin Chunhong stepped forward to help Tang Wenjie up and said, "Don't worry, General Tang, the reason why he has remained silent in the past three days is not to stand by and watch, but to wait for the governor Zhou and Tongbai archers! Now, the governor Zhou has arrived in Xinye, and Fan Yizhou leads Tongbai archers to Nanyang. The time has come to fight against Gaozhe..."

Lin Chunhong turned around and shouted: "Come here! Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
