"Dad is not afraid of other people's gossip, Dad will go all out to support you!" Zhang Weixian thought that Wei Bao had something to scruple about, so he couldn't help but persuade again, "You must not take the 100,000 Shandong army seriously." Although they may not be able to fight, but if you want to disarm, you will cut off their livelihood, and people will fight hard for their livelihood! After removing 30,000 or 40,000 empty soldiers, the Shandong Army can at least put out a lineup of 60,000 infantry and tens of thousands of water divisions, which is not easy to deal with. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "If I don't have the confidence to deal with them, I won't take over Wei Zhongxian's errand!" Rest assured, Dad, I have a solution! I cut off their grain and grass first, and then convene the generals to discuss the matter, and whoever dares not to come will be a rebellion, and I will be able to justifiably use the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong to issue an announcement! I don't believe how many people dare to really rebel and oppose the imperial court. Besides, I have now established myself in Haiphong and have enough silver, and as long as I follow my method, I can give them a pension to ensure that they can leave the army without worrying about food and clothing. ”

Seeing that Wei Bao had made up his mind, Zhang Weixian could only nod and say nothing more, "Since you have thought it all out, then you can do it yourself." Also, you have to face more than one Shandong army, they are with Henan, Nanzhili, and the nearby soldiers and horses, one is prosperous, one is lost, and I am worried that other soldiers and horses will come to cheer for the Shandong army. ”

"I also thought of this, Dad, as long as we fight fast and hard, if it is ideal, I think we can solve the problem within five days!" Wei Bao said with a smile: "When the time comes, Shandong will be under my control, and whoever dares to come over will be killed, and they will go back to write a recital to impeach me at most." ”

"We are not afraid, we have controlled so many officials against you, and many people will sell the face of my Zhang family, and Your Majesty has a great deal of respect for you, if you want to join you, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." Zhang Weixian smiled confidently.

Zhang Weixian was afraid that Wei Bao would be overconfident, and fighting a war was not as simple as Wei Bao thought.

"Dad, you relax, I will do everything according to the regulations of the imperial court! If there is a bad outcome, I will lose at best. But if I lose, it is equivalent to the defeat of the court, it is equivalent to the defeat of His Majesty, and they will definitely not be pleased! Your Majesty will not sit idly by, not to mention that my original intention is to relieve the financial crisis of the imperial court and save the people of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai! I have a clear conscience. Wei Baohao said angrily.

"Okay, now that you've thought it through, let's do it." Zhang Weixian patted Wei Bao's shoulder appreciatively.

Wei Bao took Zhang Meiyuan to say goodbye to his father-in-law Zhang Weixian, his eldest brother Zhang Zhiji, and the Zhang family, and returned to the mansion.

That night, Wei Bao left Beijing and went to Tianjin Wei.

In fact, at this time, Madman Tan, Hou San, Wan Daxi and others were ready to attack.

At the beginning, when the Bao Army was just established, Wei Bao occasionally participated in the formulation of battle plans, but now Wei Bao does not participate in the formulation of specific battle plans at all, and only speaks on major strategic decisions.

The strategic and tactical system of the treasure army is very separated.

In fact, President Wei's strategic requirements are generally very simple, usually just one sentence.

This time, Wei Bao's strategic goal on the Shandong battlefield was to first take down the big granaries of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai that all the big families hoarded Juqi under the leadership of the Jin merchants.

It is naturally good to be able to grab the other party's grain, and if you can't grab it, it will be destroyed, and as soon as this batch of grain is gone, it will first destroy more than half of the opponent's morale.

Then it is to convene all the officials and generals of Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai to discuss the matter of disarmament together, and those who agree and cooperate should stay in office and compensate for them, it is easy to say that Wei Bao has made a complete plan for people, and it has been sent to various yamen and military camps in the form of a newspaper!

If there is a confrontation, you can only chase and kill to the end.

"Wei Bao is going to Hejian Mansion so soon?" Li Jingbai soon got the news.

"Don't panic, Lord Governor, I've already arranged everything, all the food is hoarded in the water village next to Dongying, and there are our soldiers and horses nearby, everything is foolproof! If Wei Bao dares to do it with us, we will fight with him! Liu Yangwu said.

"There are Jin Shang Qiao's family in charge of those big households, I don't panic, I'm just afraid that Wei Bao has now received the support of Jingying, and has formed a family with the British Duke Zhang Weixian, which is not trivial, even His Majesty is the British government to support the throne." Li Jingbai said.

"The governor doesn't have to worry too much, no one is afraid of coming, what about the emperor? Our ancestors have joined the army in the local area for generations, this is the ancestral system set by the Ming Dynasty, why did he Wei Bao want to dismantle the army as soon as he came, the army was abolished, how many people want to drink the northwest wind? Liu Yangwu said disapprerovingly: "The court is just a temptation, as long as we win, everything is easy to say, and if we lose, we will never recover, this point, I have made it clear to all the brothers!" In the past few days, I have asked everyone to resume training, and a lot of soldiers have been added, although most of them are temporary people, but the 100,000 army is definitely ready now! I don't believe that Wei Bao's thousands of men would dare to move our 100,000 army. ”

"Dad, I also think Wei Bao is bluffing, he doesn't dare to really fight." Li Jingbai's son Li Linsun said.

"I'm not afraid to fight, I agree with what General Liu said." Li Jingbai's other son, Li Hesun, said.

Li Jing is Li Jingbai's daughter, and she is also married to Liu Yangyao, and it is because of this relationship that the relationship between Li Jingbai and Liu Yangao is ironclad and unbreakable.

"Dad, General Liu, as long as our two families work together, and Shandong officialdom and the army work together, there is no need to be afraid of anything, no matter how big Wei Bao's power is, it is only in Beizhili, don't want to go to Shandong to play prestige." Li Jing said.

"The key is that Wei Bao has the support of His Majesty and Wei Zhongxian, there are people in the official face, and Wei Bao is said to be rich enough to rival the country, I don't know how much silver he got by selling his official beard, what kind of text inventory is done, and how many rich people have gone bankrupt? This Wei Bao has lost his conscience, specializes in collecting money, he is simply a jackal who eats people and does not spit out bones, I judge that Wei Bao will definitely fight, not like a bluff, General Liu, you go back to Dongying to prepare in advance. Li Jingbai said decisively.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, I'll leave now, and you can go back to Jinan as soon as possible, don't stay in Tianjin." Liu Yang said.

"Good. Let's pack up and let's go. Li Jingbai greeted everyone.

These people have been observing the situation in Tianjin Weibian for the past few days, watching the situation deteriorate step by step.

Liu Yang's people have not returned to Dongying, and the war of the Bao army attacking the Dongying camp has begun!

Hou San decisively gave the order to attack, and launched an attack before President Wei returned to Tianjin.

This is very treasured and unscrupulous.

The 10,000 Bao army was all wearing the uniforms of the Daming Jing Battalion, among which there were more than 1,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry.

The equipment of the Beijing battalion was significantly better than that of the local army.

More than 40,000 Shandong troops gathered on the edge of the Dongying camp and rushed to meet the battle without receiving an order.

It only took an hour to break through the Dongying camp.

These are all expected by Hou San and Tan Maniac, they launched a sudden attack, fighting a squad without preparation, the Shandong army that usually wasted training is simply holding a handle, the trouble is that the Shandong army is everywhere, it is impossible to make every battle so smooth.

Although President Wei will not care about his own losses, both of them know that with the training quality of the Bao Army, the Bao Army is 10,000 people, and as long as more than half of the casualties are killed, President Wei will be very unhappy.

"I didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly, what should these people do?" Hou San asked the Tan madman.

Hou San is the chief general of the Land Guards, and Tan Madman is the chief general of the Escort Force, Hou San already has tens of thousands of horses under him, and the actual power is actually Tan Madman.

But whether Madman Tan used to be Liu Zi or later came to the Tiandi Club to be the captain of the guard next to President Wei, in fact, his military rank has always been half a grade higher than Hou San.

Therefore, when the two of them cooperate in the battle, Hou San will politely take the opinion of the madman Tan.

Madman Tan looked at the hundreds of Shandong Army generals who were tied up like zongzi and knelt in a low voice, and frowned.

Madman Tan said in a low voice: "These people are very difficult to do, if they are all kept, it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers under them will not be willing to return, and if they are not afraid of killing these people, even if they are dismissed in the future, they will still make trouble." ”

Hou San nodded, Hou San also knew the battle sequence of the Ming army very well, a lowest-level general was at least in command of thousands of people, as long as these people died, the Ming army below would be leaderless, completely afraid.

"According to your will, kill them all? Do you want to ask the president first? Hou San asked.

Madman Tan said: "No need to ask, before coming, the president had already said that no matter how we fight this time, the two of us have the final say, there is only one request, to kill less of our people, to convince the Shandong army, not to allow them to fight back, not allowed to fight into a protracted war of arresting people everywhere and turning around." I thought about it for a while, if you want to do it, there is only one way, you will kill them all, only the dead will not resist, whether the soldiers surrender or not, whether they surrender sincerely or falsely, they will be sent to southern Liaoning, transported by big ships, and all will go to southern Liaoning to work, in this way, once and for all! We are just short of labor in southern Liaoning, how much we want! Madman Tan laughed.

Hou San smiled, "Old Tan, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are ruthless enough now." ”

"I'm doing this in the best case, and the president won't say anything if I do this." Madman Tan laughed.

"Since this is the case, these generals can also send people to southern Liaoning first and then wait for the fate, right?" Hou San asked.

"You stupid, what's the use of keeping these guys? One by one, the brains are full of fat, and they can't do work, so do you keep raising pigs?" said Maniac Tan.

Hou San nodded, "Okay, since Brother Tan has thought it through, you can order it yourself." ”

"Look at your little bit of interest, I will give the order to me, come here, ask the generals if they are willing to surrender? There are a few people who are willing to surrender," said Madman Tan.

Few of the more than 100 generals of the Shandong Army were willing to surrender, and seeing that the other party was wearing the military uniform of the Beijing camp, they felt that surrendering or not surrendering was almost the same, and they must have been pulled to the court to ask for guilt, and the court should not kill them casually.

Moreover, they are all together, if they surrender now, they will not want to stand on the ground in Shandong in the future, they have offended so many villagers, and they will definitely be retaliated against.

Therefore, only a few generals who came to Shandong from other places and only one or two generations later were willing to surrender, and the rest of the generations of hereditary generals in the local area did not surrender.

"Very good, it's all slaughtered!" Madman Tan laughed.

The generals of the Shandong army were frightened when they heard this, what? Slaughtered?

Say kill and kill? Who do you think you are?

"We want to see Lord Wei, we want to see Lord Wei!"

"You stormed the barracks without permission, can't we resist? Otherwise, what would the court do with us people? ”

"Why did you kill us?"

"We're not convinced!"

"Not convinced!"

"We're going to see Master Wei."

The generals of the Shandong Army knelt on the ground and reprimanded loudly.

Madman Tan ignored it and waved his hand.

A group of pro-soldiers of the escort rushed over, stabbing one by one, and countless heads rolled on the ground.

This trick frightened the more than 40,000 Shandong soldiers who were captured, and many of the timid ones directly peed their pants and were paralyzed on the ground.

In fact, there were not many people killed in this battle, and many of them lay on the ground and pretended to be dead as soon as they entered the battlefield, or surrendered on their knees.

"Isn't that easy?" Madman Tan smiled and looked at the dead headless corpse and smiled, "I still want to see adults, what qualifications do you have to meet adults?" Come on, tie them all up, and tomorrow we will take down the Dongying Sailor Camp and send everyone to southern Liaoning! During this period, whoever dares to show a hint of resistance will be killed. ”

The soldiers of the Bao Army agreed in a loud voice: "Yes! Division! ”

Baojun already has the position of army commander, but all the generals, the current highest-ranking is only the division commander, Hou San and Tan Madman are both division commanders, Tan Madman is older than Hou San, and his status is higher than Hou San.

The division commander is usually a major general in the Bao Army, with a total of more than ten division commanders, and there are also division commanders at the rank of colonel.

Since last winter, the Baojun has implemented a military rank system, with regular military schools and regular military sequences.

The Escort Force, the Army Guard, the Coast Guard, and the garrison units in various places are in good order.

"Brother Tan, the Dongying Water Division is not easy to fight, Denglai is not strong, the most powerful is the Water Division, the reason why Mao Wenlong was so jealous of the Denglai Army at the beginning, respect for Yuan Keli is on the one hand, on the other hand, because of the Denglai Water Division, there are more than 20,000 troops nearby, they know that after we capture the Dongying Camp, they will definitely defend it to the death." Hou San said to the Tan madman.

Madman Tan nodded, "Tomorrow the president should be in Tianjin Wei, we must fight a beautiful battle to reassure the president, the president is very concerned about the situation in Shandong, otherwise with my understanding of the president, the president will definitely not be the son-in-law of the British government for the sake of power, but will marry Miss Zhao and Miss Wu." ”

Hou San was silent when he heard this, although Wu Xuexia had not been by Wei Bao's side for a long time, only half a year, but in the past half a year, Wu Xuexia was leading the presidential secretariat of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they were used to reading Wu Xuexia's signature, Hou San knew that what Madman Tan was telling the truth.

The treasure army is best at guerrilla warfare and sneak attacks, so every time there is a big battle, it always picks the strongest part of the enemy army to launch a surprise attack.

If the two sides spread out the frontal battlefield to fight, the treasure army will not have much advantage, because it is a cold weapon war, knife to knife, tip to point, or flesh and blood to fight each other.

And Hou San and Madman Tan both knew very well that this trip was fighting in the Guannei, and the president only asked Jingying for 10,000 sets of equipment.

Although Jingying sent people to send 20,000 sets of equipment, President Wei definitely didn't want to expose so much strength.

Therefore, it is impossible to increase troops from Weijiazhuang or Liaonan, they always need to fight with 10,000 troops, not only to kill the enemy, but also to control their own casualties, which is the biggest problem.

"Wan Daxi, you first take a regiment to the Dongying Navy Division Camp tonight to feint and attack, see their combat strength, remember, fight hard, don't be casualties, just leave, don't let you fight." Madman Tan said to Wan Daxi.

Wan Daxi immediately stood upright: "Yes, please rest assured, teacher." ”

Wan Daxi has been following Tan Maniac in the escort team, and he also went to the Army Guard for a short time, and he can be regarded as a fast-moving officer.

When I first hit southern Liaoning, there was great joy.

"It doesn't mean anything, does it?" Hou San was puzzled, "Do you do this, are you afraid of startling the grass and snakes?" ”
