"Haha, okay!" Lin Dong was also extremely happy and immediately called Li Da over and ordered: "If you pass the order, no one will increase the tax without permission except for the taxes submitted to the court. In addition, in order to give the people a stable environment, the people will leave enough food, and the rest will be handed over to the army. If the military ration is not enough, no more will be collected or forced to be collected. The insufficient part will be purchased at the market price!"

"General, this will cost a lot of money." Li Da said with a look of regret.

"I naturally know this. The taxes on the people are already heavy enough now. In addition, Qushan County has just experienced pirates, and they are overwhelmed. The people's foundation is unstable. If the people are not rich, the country will not be strong. Only when the people are well-fed and well-dressed can they be able to support us. You don't have to worry about this. When sweet potatoes are promoted in the county next year, we don't have to worry about our military rations anymore." Lin Dong sighed.

"Yes, General, then this silver?"

"Don't worry, the commercial tax collected by Anton Jun is enough to pay for the cost of these foods."

"If this happens, I'll be relieved."

After the autumn grain harvest came, the grain that Andong Army had consumed was once again filled with grain.

However, something made Lin Dong very depressed. Because of the construction of water conservancy and the production of guns and cannons, the money that was originally enough for him to spend for a year had been consumed in the past six months.

"General, you have spent so much money in less than a year. If this continues, our Andong army may not even be able to eat." Su Yi complained.

Lin Dong patted Su Yi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with money."

"What method? Is the general going out to fight again? By the way, if you go out to fight, you must bring me with you." When Lin Dong said that he was coming to find a solution, Su Yi immediately became excited and asked anxiously. He still clearly remembered the harvest of the Battle of Fengyang, which was more than 100,000 taels of silver and a large amount of supplies. If there were a few more battles, the empty warehouse would definitely be enriched immediately.

Lin Dong was speechless. It would be fine if the soldiers liked to fight, but you, a accounting firm, love to fight so much. What's wrong with this world?

Thinking of this, Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention this for now. In short, I will find a way to deal with money."

Unlike the Andong army, in the past few months, the court has not achieved much success in the encirclement and suppression of the treacherous gangs. Li Zicheng and other rebels won consecutive major victories in Shaanxi, which dealt a heavy blow to the official army of the Ming Governor Hong Chengchou.

However, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shaanxi, the number of rebels increased significantly, so it was naturally difficult to find food.

Therefore, after the autumn, except for the few rebel troops of Li Zicheng and other troops, they still stayed in Shaanxi. The King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang, the old Rebellion Ma Shouying, the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Yiziwang, and the King of Clashing Heaven and other troops left Tongguan east and entered Henan.

Historical records: The rebel army "traveled eastward, dust rose to the sky, forty miles wide, a hundred miles wide, old and weak, and elite cavalry outside." The Ming general Zuo Liangyu and Zu Kuan were separated by seventy miles apart, "looking at the mountain from afar, I dare not invite attack."

This shows how the peasant army's power has developed in just half a year!

With the rapid growth of peasant army forces, the court saw that Hong Chengchou, who was governing the military affairs of the five provinces, was unable to deal with even a corner of Shaanxi. Now the rebel army has launched a large-scale pass, which is not within Hong Chengchou's ability.

Emperor Chongzhen was always impatient in his work. Seeing that the thieves were becoming more and more powerful, he knew that Hong Chengchou would be afraid that it would be difficult to destroy the thieves in the short term, so he was promoted to Lu Xiang as the military affairs of Jiangbei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and Sichuan, and was also the governor of Huguang. He led the generals Zu Kuan, Zu Dale, and deputy general Li Chongzhen to intercept the Liao troops and the local garrisons, and gave Shang Fangjian to act cheaply, hoping to wipe out the peasant army as soon as possible.

After Lu Xiang took office, he immediately launched an attack on the various rebel armies, mainly powered by the King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang.

As we all know, the rebels are all refugees, and their characteristics are reflected in the word "王".

In addition to their habits, they also adopted the same approach to fighting. When the enemy is weak, they don't mind taking several tough battles.

After encountering the Tianxiong army of King Lu who was desperate for life, after suffering a few small losses, the rebels knew that this person was not comparable to Hong Hengjiu. Not only did he fight for life, but his combat effectiveness was also scary. The rebels under his command were no match for King Lu. After knowing that King Lu was powerful, they naturally refused to stop and fight him to death, so they adopted the strategy of eliminating the enemy in the movement.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng suffered a great loss. Although it seemed that the rebel army was running around the world, the results were not ideal.

Just like this, one ran in front and the other chased behind. In a few months, the rebel army and the Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangsheng launched one mobile war after another in Henan, Anhui, Huguang and other places.

In Shaanxi and the three border areas, there are several troops such as Li Zicheng and Guo Tianxing. Although they have different regions, different personnel, and different opponents, the tactics have not changed at all. In a few months, they moved to Hanzhong, Xi'an and Yan'an and fought with the Shaanxi official army led by Hong Chengchou, which made Hong Hengjiu almost vomit blood.

Historical records record that Lu Xiangsheng once talked about the situation of his fighting with Gao Yingxiang and other troops during this period: "In two months, there were many thieves, and they were extremely busy and hard. There were many thieves, and even though there were thousands of prisoners and killings in front and back, they were still not a victory. In the first (ninth year), the first thieves were suppressed in two or three months, and the rest of the thieves could be dispersed in sequence. There were about 70,000 thieves of the thieves, 1 or 20,000 women, 1 or 20,000 thieves, and 3 or 40,000 thieves. This thief is not

Let An, history, and the temple know it very well. I have recently fought with Hong Laoheng (referring to Hong Hengjiu, namely Hong Chengchou) in Qin Dynasty. I recently entered Henan, and I fought with him twice. I planned to capture, kill, wounded and fled, and there were still 50,000, and I am still a strong enemy. I also saw that the suppression soldiers were gradually gathering, and they all became more and more powerful. Now I have to go to the southeast, Chu, Huang, Feng, Si, Huai, Yang, and all have great concerns. Someone was sprinting to the south... "

This shows that the trespass is not easy to suppress, and he also regards the extermination of the trespass as his top priority in recent times.

During the time when Lu Xiangsheng was running, Lin Dong was thinking about a major issue. According to historical records, in the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, King Gao Yingxiang of the King of Rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong of the Eight Great Kings and other troops went east to Anhui and besieged Chuzhou, posing a major threat to Nanjing, the capital of Ming Dynasty.

It takes only 600 miles from Qushan County to Chuzhou to reach it in up to four days. If the rebel army cannot capture Chuzhou, will it lead its troops eastward and threaten Haizhou? If this is true, it is better to take the initiative to join the war. After all, in this way, you can take the initiative and keep the enemy out.

Just as Lin Dong was unsure of his mind about whether to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, news came over, forcing him to join the competition with the riots.
