The central Henan military government expanded its troops to the 10th battalion with more than 30,000 people.

Once there are too many people and horses, people eat and chew the horses, which will consume a shocking amount of money. The monthly salary will be 40,000 taels.

By this calculation, the military government has less than two months left.

For a moment, Gao Huan faced the same situation as Li Baiwan, but Li Baiwan was worried about food, while Gao Huan had no money.

Li Zicheng was a bandit, conquered the city, executed all the vassal kings, gentry, and wealthy families, and seized a large amount of silver.

However, he was a bandit, and the Southeast gentry was incompatible with him. Although Li Zicheng had money, he could not spend it. Even if he could buy things with silver, the price was several times the market price, or even dozens of times. All the money he robbed was cheaper and smuggling merchants.

Gao Huan is now an official, so he can't blatantly beat the local tyrants and divide the land, and he can't afford to eat the big ones. Fortunately, the government's blockade was lifted and he could buy cheaper supplies.

Gao Huan and Li Baiwan now have their own difficulties.

April, Yuzhou.

Just as Gao Huan had just completed the expansion of his troops and was about to move, an official army of more than 100 people surrounded a carriage and hurried into the city.

The people in the city looked at them in surprise and found that there were many officials wearing various official uniforms, and they were officials from the Henan Sansi.

So many officials came to Yuzhou, causing the people in the city to stop and watch.

At this time, shortly after the group entered the city, the sound of hooves on the streets was heard. Xu Heihu, the general of the military government, led several cavalry to rush over, slammed the horses in front of the team, and then clasped his fists and said, "The last general is here to welcome Gao Fujun on the order of the general."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a melancholy face, but it was Henan Governor Gao Mingheng.

"This general doesn't have to be too polite, go to the state yard quickly!" Gao Mingheng ordered and put down the curtain of the car.

At that moment, Xu Heihu led the cavalry to the road ahead, and led Gao Mingheng and his group to the prefecture yamen. When he arrived in front of the prefecture yamen, Gao Huan led many subordinates and was already standing in front of the door to welcome him.

Gao Huan and Gao Mingheng both have the surname Gao, but one is from Henan and the other is from Shandong. They are not relatives.

When Sun Sike passed the path of Gao Mingheng in the same year, Gao Huancai joined the court and was eventually ordered by the court.

There is such a relationship between the two. Although they are not masked, they are not separated at all.

Gao Huan saw a robe man get off the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chief Zheng is here, why don't you notify me in advance? I can go out of the city to welcome you."

Gao Mingheng walked forward, looked at Gao Huan, then took Gao Huan's hand, patted and patted, and touched it, "General Gao, the matter is urgent, so I can only hurry up!"

Seeing Gao Mingheng's gaze, Gao Huan felt that this guy had some intentions for him. He pulled out his big hand and didn't like others to touch him when they came up.

"Then please come in and talk!" Gao Huan asked sideways.

A group of officials entered the lobby of the state yamen and sat down according to the official rank. Gao Mingheng was the governor of Henan. In addition to the governor, he was the largest on the ground in Henan and naturally sat in the main seat.

At this time, Gao Mingheng did not greet or be polite, and went straight to the point, "There are two things here this time. One is that Lord Tuxian highly respects General Gao's rule. I took the officials of the Third Division to take a look and learn about General Gao's governance. Another thing is~ Alas!"

Gao Mingheng sighed before he could speak: "It's a disaster."

"Where does the disaster come from?" Gao Huan asked in a deep voice without changing his face.

Gao Mingheng sighed, and Tang Zixuan on the side said, "General Gao, Xiangyang has fallen, Governor Yang committed suicide!"

Most of the people under the Central Henan Military Government were from tenants and did not know much about the general trend of the world. Everyone did not understand it very well. However, Li Yan, Sun Sike and others still knew that Governor Yang was Yang Sichang.

The reason why the situation in Henan is passive is that several elite official troops including Zuo Liangyu followed Yang Sichang to encircle Zhang Xianzhong.

Now that Tang Zixuan said that Yang Sichang committed suicide, it means that the dynasty failed to encircle Zhang Xianzhong, everyone immediately changed their faces when they heard about it.

Xiangyang fell, Yang Sichang committed suicide, and the court failed to encircle Zhang Xianzhong. Who else can curb the two giant bandits, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng?

This shows that the famous dynasty can hardly quell the bandits. The chaos in the world is right in front of you. Seeing the Ming Dynasty's situation, it is obviously aiming for the destruction of the country. Li Yan and others can't help but regret it and did not stop Gao Huan from accepting the imperial edict.

The military government offended Li Zicheng so much that it was too late. If Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty, how could he tolerate them? Everyone felt a little scared.

Gao Huan was not panicked, but said calmly: "Zhongcheng, what is the specific situation?"

"Yang Governor Xian sent troops to block Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu was unfavorable to fight, so Zhang Xianzhong rushed out and attacked Xiangyang in one fell swoop and killed King Xiang. Before Luoyang fell, Your Majesty had issued an order to blame Yang Governor Xian. Now Xiangyang has lost its enemies and lost its relatives. Yang Governor Xian turned white overnight and committed suicide fearing crimes. The governor of Shaanxi Zheng Chongjian was also sentenced to death by the emperor." Gao Mingheng said heavily, because the Ming Dynasty was depressed, and he was worried about his own situation and was afraid that he could not escape without hesitation.

Gao Huan listened carefully, which was similar to what he had in his image. The thief gradually lost control, and the Ming Dynasty would be over in less than three years.

"What does the Chief Secretary need to do in a humble position?" Gao Huan was silent for a moment and asked.

Gao Mingheng's face showed a hint of joy, "Now that the thief swept the thorns, the situation in Huguang collapsed. The emperor issued an order to let Ding Duxian replace Yang Duxian and supervise the military affairs of the five provinces, and be responsible for the extermination of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. Now Ding Duxian has gone to Huguang to collect the defeated troops, encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong from the south, and let Benfu and the three-sided governor Fu Zonglong and Baoding governor Yang Wenyue attack Li Zicheng from the north to the south. Benfu has few soldiers, so he can only come to find General Gao!"

Gao Huan stood up without hesitation and said loudly: "I understand the meaning of the Chief Secretary. I will send troops to cooperate with the court to suppress the bandits!"

Even if Gao Mingheng doesn't come, Gao Huan is ready to send troops.

Now that the military government spends money, Zhang Xianzhong returns to Huguang. Huguang's grain will definitely not be transported this year, and the grain price will inevitably rise sharply. Life in the whole world will not be easy. Gao Huan must make more money just in case.

Judging from the current situation, the momentum of the thief is almost uncontrollable. Gao Huan must cause some trouble for Li Zicheng before the Ming Dynasty completely loses its ability to resist and take the opportunity to strengthen himself.

If Gao Huan had not yet grown stronger after Sun Chuanting, who was launched in the Ming Dynasty, had been defeated, then Li Zicheng would be able to deal with him, not to mention the Qing army.

Gao Mingheng didn't expect Gao Huan to be so straightforward, and he didn't even mention the conditions. Now the official army will talk about conditions. Gao Huan doesn't talk about conditions or bargain, which makes Gao Mingheng a little uncomfortable.

"General Gao really agreed to send troops?" Gao Mingheng said in surprise.

Gao Huan was righteous, "The thief has endangered the world. At such a critical moment, how can he sit back and watch?"
