Zhou Liang, whose name is Zimin, is the governor of Liuzhou, Guangxi, because he is familiar with the local ethnic customs, and most of them have intersections with local officials, so the imperial court specially appointed him as the supervisor of the army, and entered Zhejiang with the wolf soldiers, so as not to cause trouble due to the different customs and habits of the Han people.

It is necessary to explain here that the correct name of the wolf soldiers should be the soldiers, because they are all the people of the Li tribe, that is, the Zhuang people, which is now a small number of ethnic groups, because the "Li" and "wolf" have the same sound, plus these people from the poor mountains and bad waters, the people are fierce, brave and not afraid of death, so they are called wolf soldiers.

There were a total of 6,000 Guangxi wolf soldiers who entered Zhejiang this time, but they were not from Liuzhou, Guangxi, they all came from the same place - Tianzhou (now Baise, Guangxi), and the leader in charge of commanding them was a local local official in Tianzhou, that is, the woman with two swords, the governor of Tianzhou-Cen Lan.

As long as the leader does not rebel and pays taxes to the imperial court, the imperial court will give recognition, and he will generally be named the governor of XX and allow him to govern the local internal affairs, which is similar to our current national autonomy system.

As for why the governor of Tianzhou is a young woman? The reason for this will be explained later, and it is said that after Xu Jin and Zhou Liang, the wolf soldier supervisor, met and greeted each other, he asked curiously: "Zhou Jianjun, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Liang stroked the long beard under his chin and smiled bitterly: "This matter is a long story, and it is difficult to explain it!" ”

It turned out that at the beginning of August, the Guangxi side received an urgent document from the Ministry of War, asking the local government to recruit a wolf soldier into Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese.

It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, the two vast parts of the area were still uncivilized Nanban land, poor mountains and bad waters, swamps everywhere, fierce beasts were rampant, and the local people did not obey the indoctrination, only listened to the orders of the clan heads, and did not know the local officials sent by the imperial court at all, and it was undoubtedly very difficult to carry out work in these places, and it was even more difficult to conscript.

Therefore, it was definitely a rather difficult task to recruit wolf soldiers from Guangxi into Zhejiang, and in the end, this hot potato was passed to Zhou Liang, the governor of Liuzhou, who had no backstage.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhizhou did not disgrace his mission, instigated a three-inch tongue, and finally fooled the 6,000 wolf soldiers who arrived in Tianzhou, and began to leave for Zhejiang on the eighth day of August. However, along the way, Zhou Jianjun can be tossed a lot, these wolf soldiers work hard, combat courage is good, but there are also a lot of bad problems, after all, it is a group of soil buns from poor mountains and bad waters, with little knowledge, shallow eyelids, and special greed and cheapness, so along the way there is no less thing to do to steal chickens and dogs, and friction with local people is constant, and Zhou Jianjun is busy wiping their butts almost every day.

Not long ago, the wolf soldiers passed by Quzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, and because of stealing chickens and dogs, they almost got involved with the local people. In the end, the overwhelmed Zhou Jian Jun had an idea and came up with a way, asking the Quzhou prefect to prepare a ship for them, and then go to Ningbo Mansion by water. The prefect of Quzhou also wanted to send these troublesome foreigners away as soon as possible, so he paid for the boats of his own pockets, and also gave a batch of food, and lit firecrackers to send the wolf soldiers out of the country.

Because of the waterway, the wolf soldiers had no chance to disturb the people along the way, Zhou Jianjun finally settled down for a few days, who expected that when the boat arrived in Shengxian County, Shaoxing Prefecture, this group of uneasy guys made trouble again, someone took a bag of salt from a certain captain, and as a result, the captain was beaten again when he stepped forward to theorize.

This can poke the hornet's nest, and it is said that in the past few days, almost all the little men who have supported the boat have been holding their stomachs, and this incident broke out, and a collective strike drove all the wolf soldiers off the ship.

So, Zhou Jianjun had no choice but to take the wolf soldiers ashore and take the land route, these wolf soldiers sat on the boat for a few days, and they were already idle, and they were very happy to be driven off the boat.

Coincidentally, Shengxian County is not far from Yuyao County, and it is only a few dozen miles away. On the afternoon of 30 August, when Xu Hai led his army to attack Yuyao County, the news quickly spread to Shengxian County.

Cen Lan, the leader of the wolf soldiers, was overjoyed when he learned about it, and when he decided to rush to Yuyao County to kill the thief, Zhou Liang naturally disagreed, and suggested that Cen Lan first take someone to Ningbo Mansion to report to Xu Jin, the governor of Zhizhejiang, and listen to the dispatch of Governor Hou Xu.

However, Cen Lan did not listen to the advice of Zhou Jianjun, and led the army to Yuyao County, on the grounds that even if the fighter plane was a little indulgent, the general's order would not be affected by the order of the foreign monarch, let alone the order of the governor.

Although Zhou Liang is a prisoner, he is just a single commander, and he is weaker than farting in the army, so no one listens to him at all, so there is this scene in front of him, and the wolf soldiers take advantage of the dawn to sneak attack Xu Hai's camp.

After listening to Zhou Liang's complaining narration, Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realize, thinking that when Wen Zhengming recommended the Guangxi wolf soldiers to him, he specially reminded him that although these foreign soldiers are fierce and brave, they may be difficult to control, and now it seems that it is true, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can fight, the others can be slowly adjusted.

Just as Xu Jin and Zhou Liang were talking, the battle over there was about to be decided, and the six thousand brave and fierce wolf soldiers were defeated and retreated by the thief army, coupled with the assistance of the five hundred battalions with strong combat strength, the thief soldiers could resist it, and there were already signs of rout.

"Commander, my subordinates ask to fight!" Zhao Datou, the captain of the pro-soldier who had long been itchy for a long time, pleaded loudly.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Xu Jin nodded briskly: "Go!" ”

A hundred cavalry soldiers responsible for protecting the marshal couldn't help but be overjoyed, watching their comrades bloody slaughter, their waist knives were already hungry and thirsty, at the moment, a hundred cavalry soldiers under the leadership of Zhao Datou whirlwind killing.

Xu Jin glanced at Song Dayan, who was eager to try next to him, and pointed to the big banner embroidered with the words "General of the Heavenly Difference and Pinghai" in front of the big account of the Chinese army in the thief camp, and quipped: "Song Dayan, Yu Dayou said that as long as you go to the battlefield, you will be a peerless general, but Ben Shuai thinks he is a bit exaggerated." As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and hearing is false. In this way, if you can take the thief's banner, you will repay the kindness of the commander, and you can leave at any time. ”

Although he understood what Xu Jin meant by the general, Song Dayan still straightened his chest and said proudly: "What's so difficult about this, master, let's see how Big Eye will kill and capture the flag!" ”

Drive......

After Song Dayan finished speaking, he slammed the horse's belly and rushed out like an arrow with the iron rod specially made for him.
