Within the jurisdiction of Pinglu Jiedu, which includes the six prefectures of Qi, Qing, Zi, Deng, Lai, and Mi, the curfew rules have been lifted under normal circumstances.

Li Zhongyi has always respected the following principles: no agriculture is not stable, no work is not strong, no business is not rich!

If all state cities and counties adopt a night ban system early after one or three o'clock in the evening, it is tantamount to invisibly reducing the consumption time of commercial activities, and the wise will not take it!

It is precisely because Li Zhongyi is the leader of mercantilism that the commercial activities in the entire Pinglu area are becoming more and more prosperous.

Although Li Zhongyi lifted the curfew, the vicinity of the city gates of various prefectures and counties belonged to the night military control areas, and the garrisons were strictly guarded, prohibiting idle people from passing through at will.

Qin Xiaoyi is not only a carpenter, but also a widower, he is full of food alone, and the whole family is full.

During the day, Qin Xiaoyi took on a few hard jobs because of his reputation as a good carpenter, and he was busy until one watch, and then he finished the work at hand.

Qin Xiaoyi cleaned up the small shop and was about to go to the street to buy a few cooking cakes to cushion his hunger, but unexpectedly, he had just put on the door panel, and before he could lock the door, he heard the sound of dense horses' hooves on the street.

Just when Qin Xiaoyi was timid and suspicious, Wang Lizheng of this neighborhood led a large group of people and ran along the street panting.

Wang Lizheng pulled his throat as he ran, and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the state government has issued an order, the state city is closed at night, everyone stay at home, don't go out to hang out, so as not to cause ......trouble."

Qin Xiaoyi is actually not a local aboriginal resident, he was originally a disaster victim who fled, because of his good carpentry work, not only filled his stomach, but also rented the shop of the old lady Wu of Jinjin, the city, and started a small handicraft business with a fixed source of customers.

"Wang Lizheng, what's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyi relied on the friendly relationship of often making woodware for Wang Lizheng for free, and had the courage to ask Wang Lizheng who was running in front of the shop.

Wang Lizheng turned his head to see that it was the carpenter Qin Xiaoyi, so he stopped and whispered to him: "What you shouldn't ask, don't talk too much, hurry up, close the door and go to sleep." ”

Before Wang Li was running away, Qin Xiaoyi, who was timid and afraid, had already retreated to the shop in a panic, picked up the wooden latch, and put the door panel on top from the inside.

Although the door had been closed, Qin Xiaoyi, who had always been honest, still shrank in front of the window nervously, listening carefully to the movement on the street outside the window.

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, and even the few wooden pillars in Qin Xiaoyi's house shook with it.

Soon, countless horses' hooves were pounding on the big bluestone slabs on the street, carrying the sound of wind and thunder that destroyed everything, and it was like a flash flood, which was terrifying.

No matter how stupid Qin Xiaoyi is, he knows that something must have happened. Since Qizhou was included under the jurisdiction of Li Xianggong, as long as people with eyes can see that the originally vicious officials and soldiers have become kind, and the small life of the common people is getting better day by day.

Just as Qin Xiaoyi was distracted, a rapid and powerful command suddenly sounded on the street, "The Lord has an order, all march quickly, and speed up!" ”

This night, the officials and people of the entire Qizhou couldn't sleep. Flat-headed grass people, one after another, what happened.

The officials and gentry who had ghosts in their hearts stayed up all night in fear, lest someone come to the door and raid their homes.

In the morning, the diligent Qin Xiaoyi, with dark circles under his eyes, gently pulled the door latch, removed the door panel, and started a new day of carpenter life.

When resting on the way, Liao Shanhe approached Li Zhongyi and asked cautiously: "Master, the little one still can't figure it out, the leader of the Ming Sect with only one hundred and ten people is worth it for you to personally go out and supervise the battle on the spot?" ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at Liao Shanhe, who looked puzzled, and said coldly: "It is precisely because you don't understand the power of the cult that the cult has secretly developed and grown on Lao Tzu's territory. ”

Liao Shanhe still didn't understand, relying on his old qualifications that have always been loyal, he boldly asked: "Master, those people in Mother B, there are names and surnames, but there are only one hundred and fifty people, but you mobilized more than 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress from all sides, can you use a knife to kill chickens?" ”

"Actually, Mingjiao has been able to develop in the suburbs of Linzi County, and I have had it." Li Zhongyi sighed softly, he was also negligent.

Li Zhongyi never dreamed that the Ming Sect had already appeared in the last years of the Five Dynasties, and it would actually burrow into Pinglu's abdomen and use the extremely incendiary evil doctrine to spread unscrupulously like a plague.

It seems that when we go back, we will write a textbook on guarding against all kinds of evil cults and on cracking down on organized criminal syndicates and evil forces, and distribute it to the official organs throughout the territory.

Li Jiajun took a break for a quarter of an hour, Li Zhongyi looked at the slow-burning incense, there was still more time, so he patiently taught Liao Shanhe: "Mu Yi, these people, under the banner of the birth of King Ming, deceived the trust of the villagers in the name of small favors or curing diseases. Some ignorant villagers not only gave their property to them, but even gave their wives or daughters to these bastards to enjoy. ”

Liao Shanhe was still a little confused, and Li Zhongyi felt more and more that it was urgent to crack down on Mingjiao.

Li Zhongyi took out a document from the little ones and handed it to Liao Shanhe, Liao Shanhe looked at the bright lights in the carriage, couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "What a boldness, they dare to kill the pavilion chief who is stationed down......

Li Zhongyi sneered: "People of the Ming Sect, what don't you dare to do? Not to mention killing my pavilion chief, even if it is a rebellion, it will be just a piece of cake for them. ”

"Fortunately, outside the county seat, we have stationed pavilion chiefs and village leaders, and we have organized and trained the township army. Otherwise, if the imperial power is still not under the county, after the main force of our army advances westward, the entire Pinglu army will be empty, and Mu Yi and these people will collude with the bad guys who moved from the thistle, and the whole situation will be out of control. Li Zhongyi felt scared when he thought about it, and he also felt very happy.

The more Liao Shanhe thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that Li Zhongyi's immediate suppression order was at the right time!

"Lao Liao, it is precisely because I see the seriousness of the problem that I arranged for more than 20,000 troops to secretly participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Ming Sect, just to catch them all. You don't understand, as long as one of the first evildoers escapes, it will spread like an epidemic in a few years. Li Zhongyi stared at Liao Shanhe deadly, "If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, the future will be endless, understand?" ”

"Master, the villain understands, he would rather kill five hundred by mistake than let one go!" Liao Shanhe thoroughly understood the great harm of the secret spread of the Ming Sect, "Expect the enemy to be lenient, don't look at Mu Yi, they only have a hundred people with names and surnames, who knows, how many sects they have secretly developed?" ”

Li Zhongyi mobilized more than 20,000 people, including the entire cavalry battalion that moved quickly, to sort out the entire population of Linzi County like a farmer raking the ground.

Moreover, all prefectures and counties adjacent to Linzi were also under Li Zhongyi's strict orders and actively cooperated with this operation, imposed martial law throughout the territory, and searched for suspicious elements.

Martial law, in the Li family's army, has a unique connotation. That is to say, whether it is on the main road or on the small road, as long as the passers-by or caravans encountered by the patrol officers and soldiers must be captured first, and then their identities will be checked one by one.

As long as martial law is issued, passers-by or pedestrians have the slightest intention to resist, the patrolling officers and soldiers have the right to kill!

If it is in normal times, passers-by complain a few words, in fact, it is nothing, as long as they do not hold a knife, the officers and soldiers will also adopt the greatest tolerant attitude.

When it was time to rest on the way, Li Zhongyi rode on the back of the bloody slaughter, silently watching the soldiers of the Guards passing in front of him.

The horses' hooves were covered with cloth, and the horses' muzzles were covered with cloth to prevent them from neighing their enemies. The soldiers on horseback are wearing mask-type cloth strips on their mouths, and those who dare to make noise will be killed!

Because he was worried that the iron armor on his body would emit a dazzling reflection under the bright moonlight, the armor on the soldiers was also wrapped in black linen.

As for the iron rings at the junction of the scabbard, which are most likely to collide with the iron armor and make a noise, they are also specially wrapped and fixed.

After Li Yong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, received the order to march from Li Zhongyi, he couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly and said happily: "Old Qian, it's our turn to make meritorious service again." ”

The cavalry battalion calmed Qian Shude and smiled, but he didn't squeak, Li Yong, a party barbarian, although the time of following the lord is not short. However, the sense of ranger robbery, which is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the party members, cannot be hidden.

Today's cavalry battalion has long been different from the past, after Li Zhongyi's years of painstaking management, the situation of the party's cavalry dominance in the past has long been completely subverted.

Qian Shude had a clear account in his heart, the party cavalry in the battalion was less than 2,500 people, while the Han army cavalry exceeded more than 10,000 people.

Although, the cavalry of the Han army was far inferior to the cavalry of the party. However, under the condition that everyone is equipped with a hard crossbow, the cavalry of the Han army is slightly inferior in horsemanship, which is actually not a fatal injury.

As long as the long-range strike force is strong enough, in the face of the attack of the steppe cavalry, the Han cavalry can completely dismount and fight on foot, hide behind the horse rejection array, and use the crossbow array to consume the barbarian cavalry with poor organization and discipline.

Even if the Han cavalry had occupied an absolute advantage, Li Zhongyi still trusted Li Yong and ordered him to continue to lead the entire cavalry battalion.

Qian Shude is a leader in the pacification system, and he naturally understands that in addition to the intention of the horse bones in Qianjin City, it is also inseparable from Li Yong's own ability to command operations.

Li Zhongyi once said that when marching and fighting, you can't play with anything imaginary. Talented but not virtuous, you can control the use and give full play to its strengths.

If you are virtuous and talentless, you will never be allowed to be the chief general of any army, lest the general be incompetent and kill the three armies!

The cavalry battalion is now equipped with three horsemen as standard, and each horse has two pots of arrows and a war knife hanging from the saddle.

During the march, the heavy and cumbersome iron armor would rest on the saddle of the reserve horse, so as not to affect the speed of the march.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the fact that the enemy is only a small group of cult elements, according to the order of the Lord, our cavalry battalion is spread out in a fan shape with the capital as a unit, and the encirclement is gradually narrowed from the outside to the inside." Li Yong's order was concise and to the point, so that people could understand it as soon as they heard it, "Everyone, pay attention, anyone you meet along the way, even an old man who can't walk, must be taken down on the spot and brought back for centralized examination......"

Qian Shude thought to himself, the lord really didn't see the wrong person, even if Li Yong was ambitious, as long as the lord had the absolute crushing strength at hand, Li Yong would definitely be willing to be a pawn, do his best, and spare no effort.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to prevent Mu Yi and those people from taking the plan of diverting the tiger from the mountain, the Lord has clearly ordered that no matter how much trouble is in front of you, everyone must move forward in unison, and it is never allowed to be greedy for merit and rash to violate military law." Li Yong raised his hand to show Li Zhongyi's warrant, but the generals in the tent looked at Qian Shude and the garrison judge.

It was not until Qian Shude and the military judge confirmed the correctness and validity of the military order in public, that the generals in the battalion received the order one after another, took the large envelope distributed to the people, and went back to mobilize the troops and horses.

When Qian Shude also left the tent, Li Yong couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling a little depressed.

In the cavalry battalion, as long as it is an order for the transfer of the army, it must be confirmed in public by Qian Shude and the military judge stationed in the camp, and the officers below will carry it out.

Otherwise, it is a rebellion, and it is a felony that will cost you your head!

With the continuous improvement of the regulations, Li Yong may have led his relatives to secretly go out hunting in the past. Now, even if Li Yong gave a death order, the relatives would not dare to leave the camp with him without permission.

Li Zhongyi once said a sentence that Li Yong still remembers vividly: Orders are red lines, and no matter who touches the red line, they must accept the most severe sanctions from military law.

Don't say anything else, just talk about Li Zhongyi's brother-in-law Li Anguo. After Li Anguo was thrown into the recruit training camp by Li Zhongyi, he had to suffer dozens of military sticks almost every day, ranging from 25 to 55.

Li Yong heard that Li Anguo, the original gentleman, even if he was lame the day before, he would never be absent from the next day's training.

In the Li family's army, everyone knows that the Lord favors Li Qiniang the most. Li Qiniang's brothers and sisters were ravaged by the instructors of the new barracks, not to mention the others?

Li Yong has also participated in the study of Wutang many times, and the first sentence of the textbook is: Do not suffer from widowhood, only suffer from unevenness! Gongshengming, Lian Shengwei, those who can go up, and those who can't go down!

Li Zhongyi said so, and he has always done so, and he will never be punished without teaching.

In Li Yong's impression, all colleagues who violated the red line were finally beheaded, without exception!

In terms of qualifications, Li Yong is very shallow; In terms of military exploits, can Li Yong compare to Yang Lie, these heavy generals?

Now, with Li Zhongyi completing the major exchange of blood for the cavalry battalion, Li Yong, even if he is a tiger who has his head down the mountain, must lie at Li Zhongyi's feet, let him be driven, and dare not have a slight dissent.

On the way to Linzi County, Li Zhongyi received an urgent letter from Zuo Ziguang, he opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned!

PS: There is a little time today, at least 10,000 words are updated, and I ask for a few monthly passes to encourage!
