Although there is a lack of food and supplies, after all, as an inland operation, it is not difficult to find food, and at the same time, under the authority of this kind of officer, the intercepted soldiers and civilians can also be directly incorporated into the team, and the dozen or so friends around him are all promoted one by one, and if they have enough people, they will directly let them lead the battle.

Of course, this kind of organization is very chaotic, many people are not familiar with their subordinates, and there is no formation in a mess, but at least on the surface and in numbers, Li Zhongxun has a team, although the number cannot be counted one by one, but in terms of the amount of food consumed, there are at least more than 1,000 people.

There are 1,000 people, and Li Zhongxun reported to the court in the same way, saying that there were 3,000 people.

After arriving in Hanoi, I don't know how, in the ears of Zheng Jie, he is already the loyal king of Li Zhongxun, and now he has gathered 8,000 people on the southeast line to protect the frontier for the mountain emperor, and ensure that the disobedient villain Zheng Zhun can't beat him.

How can Zheng Jie have this courage, after constantly learning about the strength of the enemy and the terrible weapons of the Celestial Empire, people have been so frightened that they jumped up and down, as if after falling into the water, a straw has to be grasped in their hands, of course, it is impossible to expect Zheng Jie to bleed, it is impossible in this life, but it is still a thousand catties of iron money, a hundred stones of grain, and instructed Li Zhongxun to bring the team well, protect the safety of Thang Long Mansion, and do it out and win, Thang Long Mansion, the people of Hanoi are watching you!

"General Li Zhongxun, great news, this is the king gave you 500 catties of iron money, 50 stone of grain, and an edict to make you a thief general, you have to fight for the country."

The person who came was actually a eunuch in the palace, and at this time, he looked left and right, but his expression was a little flustered.

Although Li Zhongxun has never seen such a person in the palace, in fact, although there are eunuchs in Vietnam, after all, it is a small country and widows, and it is basically difficult for these eunuchs to leave the palace.

Li Zhongxun hesitated: "This lord, I have a lot of people here, and I'm afraid that this little food is not enough." ”

He now lacks everything, weapons, but officers, ...... Let's put it this way, his subordinates are actually a rabble, and now they are just pooling all the weapons they have to create a fully armed, invincible hypothetical group.

Although he doesn't understand political struggle, but the saying that there is a soldier in troubled times is the king of grass can be said to be everywhere, Li Zhongxun is not stupid, knowing that after he goes back to Hanoi and Thang Long Mansion, he will be a flat-headed soldier who has nothing, and he will even be treated as a defeated general.

Li Zhongxun's idea is very simple, first defend this gorge, and dozens of kilometers behind him is the capital, you can't kill me at this time, at least give me some benefits, right?

Zheng Jie still knows some things, and at least half of the things that come out have come out.

Any lack of supervision of the bureaucracy will be greedy to rub all the materials in their hands to rub the oil away, compared to the long time, the Ming Dynasty, with many old officials, has formed a few officials to share the proportion of the old rules of the advanced system, Vietnam's small country and widows are not even corrupt, this eunuch before going out, how to eat this bite of reward money or spend a lot of thought.

Iron money is easy to say, under the pretext of transportation costs, it is natural to be greedy for ink, and those grains, after leaving the royal treasury, continue to decrease, and when they reach the hands of the eunuchs, only half of them are left.

Don't be busy, don't be afraid, the little eunuch also has relatives, and immediately changed the grain from new rice to old rice, and you can still eat it, just bear with the taste.

It can be said that the efficiency of this corruption system is much inferior to that of my Daming, and my Daming shines thousands of miles, even if it is corrupt, it will kill small countries such as Er!

Li Zhongxun naturally didn't understand, the reward he got had already been divided in half, in fact, if it weren't for the military, if it wasn't for the burning of his eyebrows, let alone half of it, Sancheng would already give you face, don't be too little, the real capable people are the ones who don't give anything and do things for me.

Of course, even if the other half's reward comes back, he is afraid that it will be insufficient.

"Please also ask my father-in-law to go back and tell Emperor Shan, I am waiting here, naturally I will desperately resist the thief army, but now that the soldiers are outnumbered, I ask Hanoi to send reinforcements quickly, as well as weapons, military uniforms, etc., all have to be prepared."

"None of that." Eunuch Ruan Youming's voice was not feminine, but he didn't feel the warmth, and said slowly: "Emperor Shan ordered me to come, in addition to announcing the order, I also want to understand how the thief army is now, how powerful their firearms are, how much can they buy, how many days do you think they can fight?" ”

"This ......" has the intention to boast a few words about the soldiers' lives, and those who don't want to die can resist the outside world for the Mountain Emperor, but he doesn't believe it himself, and his own subordinates are just a group of knives that can't hold steadily, and they don't know how to use their strength when they cut and stab people, and their morale is also a frightened bird, basically if someone shouts, the Han people are coming, and they will all flee in all directions.

"Although our department has few people and little strength, we are united, if the enemy comes to attack, it will definitely fight to the last soldier......" Li Zhongxun said that he didn't believe it himself, anyway, he fought to the last soldier, as for the officers, including his own empty thief general, he didn't know where to go.

The place he regrets the most is that his uncle has been beaten to death, and it is obvious that he died at the hands of the people sent by Zheng Zhun, (the bad things Mu Rongshan did were obviously given to the father-in-law of the backstabber), although he actually didn't take it to heart, but if he discussed the surrender in the past at this time, the problem would be either to be accused of being ungrateful for not helping his uncle avenge, and the king was only afraid that he would not be at ease with himself.

"Uh-huh."

"Of course, it would be better if the Thang Long Mansion could issue some weapons, I have always been short of weapons here......"

"I don't have a weapon, but before I came, Lord Zheng Wanfu told me a few words, just remember it."

"Yes......" Zheng Wanfu is a vice-national-level big man, even if he is behind his back, he has to make a respectful and obedient style for others to see.

Sure enough, this aroused good feelings.

"Zheng Zhun's house, although relying on the weapons of the Han people, was fierce and cruel for a while, killing our people, but the foundation is insufficient, the foundation is not abundant, according to the inside information, its arms have to be transported from China thousands of miles, in fact, it is insufficient, as long as you fight carefully, persistence is a big victory!"

Co-authored is a few words, Li Zhongxun immediately became dissatisfied in his heart, and he was also very anxious, no matter how far away the arms of others were, one shot was enough to kill a person, in the early hours of the morning, Li Zhongxun fled, looked back and observed, just a mile away, as soon as the enemy soldier fired, he killed his own men, and he was fired on the spot, and he fell to the ground with blood.

With the increase in the number of shots, some first-class shooters still emerged under Zheng Zhun.

Of course, Li Zhongxun's first impression of that big man was not good, as a newly rising dynasty, the Zheng dynasty was dull from the beginning, because it was an old-style bureaucratic warlord, and the rise always appeared with the bureaucratic atmosphere of the previous dynasty, so when it came to lifelessness, it was really so rigid as soon as the founding of the country was completed.

Compared with the spindle society that was admired in later generations, that is, the local tyrants and fart people are a minority, and the middle class, in fact, is the kind that mixes the middle and accounts for the majority, Vietnam is a typical apple core society, the Zheng clan and all kinds of rich people occupy the majority, and a large number of fart people can hardly even wear clothes, and what is lacking is the middle class of a stable society.

The difficulty in accumulating social wealth has led to the fact that most of the middle and lower officials in the bureaucracy are very poor, which has caused too many hungry officials to be hungry.

Hungry duck means that once these people have the opportunity to embezzle, they really don't even have a sesame seed left, and the rich people become officials, and maybe they will leave one or two sesame seeds for the common people.

This is a wave of anger that has been passed down for hundreds of years, even in later generations.

Of course, Li Zhongxun will not understand this kind of sociological knowledge, he just thinks that these big officials are too unscrupulous.

"Of course, you lack supplies, you can raise them on the spot, before the army and supplies in the south are transferred over, we will clear the wall between Hongji and Thang Longfu, this set of tactics, help our country since the Song Dynasty to continue to repel the attacks of the Han people, this time is no exception, you can act cheaply, get supplies from the local area, and at the same time integrate the people into the army, make their own contributions to the life and death of Dayue, and serve the imperial court."

Lord Wei knows that acting cheaply is naturally to take advantage of it, don't be polite, and Li Zhongxun also fully understands the meaning of this sentence, this is to directly let go of the big robbery, and it is also an officially sanctioned robbery, anyone who tries to resist, as long as he hangs up a crime of trying to contact the thief, he can directly take it down......

"As for weapons, we can't provide you with firearms for the time being, we asked those Western merchants, what they said, I haven't heard of firearms can do this level, and asked us to provide the original copy, of course we refused, Thang Long Mansion has now mobilized all the blacksmiths, but you'd better think of a way in the people."

Scythes, rakes, sharpened sticks, the favorite weapons of the peasant insurgents, in fact, were only the choice they had to make, did they not know that the sword and gun were the sharp weapons that took human life?

No way, since the Qin Dynasty, they have begun to play the trick of confiscating folk metal and casting bronze people, at this point, any country is like this, even those countries with the so-called right to carry guns, it is also forming tanks, motorized armies, all kinds of advanced weapons in hand, you have a little ordinary firearms, how can you hurt the nobles?

But it's cruel to let them take their scythes against the Presbyterian Church, armed to the teeth.

"Before I came, Lord Wanfu seems to have obtained the secret technique passed down by the ancient soldier from a certain stranger, but against the enemy, it is not a problem, this time you have to quickly figure it out, so as to repay the adult's concern."

"The Ancient Art of War?"

"Yes, you can't read, I'll read it to you, there are illustrations here."

"This art of war is handed down by my ancestor Chiyou when the ancestor of the Han people Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was handed down, it is easy to pass it on, its name is Sunflower Treasure Book, the first page of the treasure book says, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed in my harassment, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I advance, Zheng Zhun's army comes, the rear will be empty, when the pit is trapped, poison needles, cold gun attacks, block its road, take advantage of the high grass and forest, attack its weak small troops, and then drag the enemy fat and thin, thin and drag to death, as long as we wait until our country in the south to guard against the return of Ruan's army, the rainy season is coming, If the firearms of those Han people fail, they can launch a counterattack and capture and kill all the rebels and Han dogs. ”

"Sunflower Treasure!" Li Zhongxun listened to it, and at first he didn't think about it, he thought the name was a woman's husband-taming technique, but after listening carefully and slowly reminiscing, it was not simple.

"This thing was copied in Thang Long Mansion, you remember after reading it, don't fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise it will be a bad thing, and these atlases, which show how to sneak attack, camouflage and break the enemy's skills, you can also take it."

This thing really works.

Sure enough, is it better to give money than to give policy, Li Zhongxun's mind became active all of a sudden.

According to what the little eunuch said, although the mysterious alien didn't know what his identity was, he sent the art of war at the same time, and there was some information, although Zheng Zhun defeated the government's crusading troops and killed more than 10,000 people, but his vitality was also greatly damaged, and he could not enter the army without ten days and half a month, and even if he sent troops, because it was necessary to guard the back road of the port of Haohongji and ensure the follow-up arms transportation, it also involved a lot of energy, so the troops sent must not be much.

Of course, the intelligence certainly didn't say anything about the composition of the weapons of those armies.

That's enough.

Li Zhongxun got the reassurance, and no one knew what the effect of the strong wall was clearing, but the people around him basically made a fortune.

Just as every time in Chinese history in order to serve the imperial court and clean up the traitorous ministers, the emperor was basically killed at once.

Clearing the field is a technical job, it is necessary to take steps and efficiently annihilate all the resources on the way of the enemy, for Li Zhongxun who drives ducks to the shelves, this is a bit difficult for a strong man, but in terms of robbery and pulling strong ding, any rabble is talented.

They plugged a few wells with stones so-so, but forgot about polluting the water source, but all the packages were bulging, after all, robbing a village, and it was a fair robbery, and slowly divided the property, the men entered the people's team, and the women entered the women's camp.
