Shaanxi, Xi'an.

In order to protect the Great Western Kingdom, Zhang Xianzhong was even prepared to fight to the fullest battle before going to the expedition. After the Northern Expedition was truly launched, the progress of things was completely different from what Zhang Xianzhong expected, and even went in the opposite direction.

Zhang Xianzhong never dreamed that the Daxi Army would successfully capture Xi'an, the ancient city of the former capital of Dashun Kingdom, in just five days, in just five days.

Until the Western Army entered Xi'an, Zhang Xianzhong was still a little confused.

But a hero is a hero.

When he moved into the magnificent palace of Xi'an, Zhang Xianzhong finally woke up. He immediately realized that an excellent opportunity was in front of the Great Western Kingdom.

The ambition to unify the world once again surging in my heart.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Zhang Xianzhong sat on the cold dragon throne and thought for a night, and finally made up his mind. The next morning, Zhang Xianzhong ordered that the 120,000 Western Army, except for 30,000 left in Xi'an, all the rest would be spread out.

"Occupy territory!"

Zhang Xianzhong did not hide his desire for territory and directly explained to the generals of the Great Western Army: "Let go and do it, and include all the territories that can be obtained under the rule of the Great Western Army."

"yes!"

The generals of the Western West received the order and led their troops to fight.

Zhang Xianzhong was in charge of Xi'an. While busy pacifying the people, he urgently contacted the country and asked the court to arrange officials to enter Xi'an to assist him in governing the ancient capital.

He had already planned to move the capital of Daxi Kingdom to Xi'an.

"The Qing army retreated and the north was unparalleled. It was the time when the Great Western Kingdom rose." Zhang Xianzhong was full of confidence.

…………

Kaifeng, Henan.

Just two days after the Western Route Army "taken" Xi'an, the Central Route Army also successfully entered Kaifeng.

Li Jing did not lead his troops into the city, but lived in the military camp outside the city. The 60,000 Daxia imperial guards led by Eilai were like the most loyal guards, firmly guarding the tent of the Central Military Camp.

Night falls.

The tent of the Central Military Camp is still brightly lit, and under the swaying candlelight, is Li Jing's cheek that has experienced many vicissitudes.

Li Jing encountered a problem.

Since the army entered Henan, bad signs have gradually become prominent.

At the beginning, the Dashun Army and the soldiers of the Southern Ming Army just did not go out on time, or were playing rogues at the speed of the march, so they did not dare to really contradict Li Jing, the coalition commander.

As time goes by, these sergeants become more and more presumptuous.

Some people don’t return to the camp at night and are immersed in the city’s bright lights and wine; some people don’t have clean hands and feet, accept gifts from the people, or gentry and wealthy families, and quietly fill their personal pockets.

There was even a presumptuous officer who brought the prostitute into the military camp directly.

Military discipline is scattered.

Li Jing took measures as soon as possible and dispatched the Imperial Guards to form a law enforcement battalion. He captured a group of typical examples, either whip, beating, or directly executed.

No matter who the soldiers who do not comply with military rules, they will never tolerate them.

As a military general, Li Jing knew the importance of military law and must not be rude at this time. Otherwise, if he lets him develop, the entire army will collapse without fighting.

Once the army is disintegrated, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky if it wants to gather together.

After killing a group of "prominent elements", military discipline has indeed improved, and the bad signs seem to be really suppressed.

But Li Jing doesn't think so.

"I'm not convinced!"

After all, they were not soldiers from Daxia, so how could they be willing to be controlled by Li Jing?

Especially the Dashun Army, they regarded themselves as reinforcements from beginning to end, and they never thought they were troops under Li Jing. If they were too strict, they might cause a rebound.

If it weren't for the 60,000 Daxia Imperial Guards, there would have been a mess long ago.

The Dashun Army was originally a group of peasant uprising troops. From generals to soldiers, they had long been accustomed to burning, killing, looting, and could not withstand the temptation of gold, silver, jewelry, fine wine and delicious food, and they did not have the passion at the beginning.

Now that Li Jing is restrained like this, he is naturally uncomfortable all over.

The current military camp is like a huge powder barrel, just one fuse, and it will explode at a moment.

Zhang Xianzhong's crazy land encirclement in Shaanxi was this fuse. When the generals of the Dashun Army learned that Zhang Xianzhong had actually occupied Xi'an "shamelessly", they were completely furious.

"Bastard, that's our territory!"

The generals of the Dashun Army all had red eyes, as if they were taken away by someone and their hearts were forbidden. It seemed that they had forgotten that just before the New Year, the Dashun Army was chased by the Qing army and ran around in a mess.

With the death of King Li Zicheng of the Chuangwang, Shaanxi had long had nothing to do with Dashun.

The generals of the Dashun Army do not think so, "It's tolerant, but who can't bear it!" At that moment, the generals of the Dashun Army reported this to Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing would come forward to mediate the matter.

"Let Zhang Xianzhong get out of Shaanxi!"

Li Jing is only the commander of the army. This matter involves a dispute over territory. How can a general, he mediate?

Besides, the Western Army was only cooperating with the Southern Ming regime's northern expedition, but not his subordinates. If Zhang Xianzhong was unhappy, he could use Li Jing's letter to wipe his butt.

"Since the Grand Marshal cannot solve it, let's solve it ourselves!"

Like the Daxi Army, peasant uprising troops like the Dashun Army have always believed in the famous saying "Whoever has a big fist will be reasonable." Since it doesn't make sense, it can only resort to force.

The Dashun Army immediately requested the battle, hoping that the army would go to Shaanxi and take back the territory of the Dashun Kingdom.

Of course, Li Jing disagreed. If he really wanted to magnify the Shun Army, the two men would start fighting in Shaanxi immediately. In that case, should we still fight in the north?

One wants to leave, the other forces to stay.

That day, the two sides quarreled in the Central Military Camp, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

In the end, perhaps because of the forefront of the Imperial Guards, the generals of the Dashun Army left the Central Army camp one by one. Since then, they have not mentioned this matter again until the army has entered Kaifeng.

Li Jing knew that this matter was definitely not over.

As expected, Li Jing received bad news that night.

Taking advantage of the night, the 30,000 Dashun Army quietly left the camp without regard to the military order and disappeared into the vast wilderness. Needless to think about it, they must have set out towards Xi'an.

If the Imperial Guards had not been the leader of the army, the entire military camp would have exploded. The Nanming Military Camp, which received the news, had a stir and it gradually subsided very late.

"Master, do you want the last general to lead your troops to recover them?" Ei asked.

Under the candlelight, Li Jing's face became blurry. After a long time of silence, he shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forgot, the melon is not sweet. Even if he is recovered this time, they will still escape next time."

“…”

I don't know what to do if I come.

The Dashun Army was determined to leave, but it was not enough to leave any of it. Instead of forcibly staying and laying huge hidden dangers, it would be better to let it go and think about other ways.

"I want to write a letter to the king."
