Jinan.

The palace of the German king, which was once captured by the brothers Dordor and Dolgon, was dilapidated after the fire, but the scale is still there.

After Shouhan went to Shandong to suppress thieves at the behest of Chongzhen, he hastily cleaned up the dilapidated palace and began to use the palace to open his own thief president.

Anyway, no matter how Ben Bo does things for the court and how he serves the country loyally, those Qingliu with microscopes in their eyes, the imperial historians, and the scholars in the academies everywhere will find countless Li Shouhan's faults according to the laws and ancestral systems of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, in Jinan, where half of the city was full of spring and a city lake, a group of Ming troops were driving along the Daqing River to various parts of Shandong.

As the highest-ranking general of the Nanyue Army in Shandong, Chen Tianhua, the commander of the Second Town, served as the general office of the battalion office of the president of the anti-thief army, and was responsible for supervising the Ming army and township regiments in Shandong to suppress bandits and quell thieves. I also had to deal with Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and other Shandong military and horse leaders who came from afar to see Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan, and I was very busy every day.

In addition to seeing Li Shouhan according to the courtesy of the officials, these large and small military leaders rushed to Jinan in a hurry, and more of them unabashedly asked Li Shouhan, Chen Tianhua and others for military salaries, military rations, knives, guns, equipment, armor, tents, medicines, and even pots and pans were in the list they prescribed.

In their opinion, it seems that Li Shouhan's box hides Shen Wansan's cornucopia, Tie Gui Li's gourd, and the small pocket of the cat, as long as they want. Just open your mouth.

"Liu Liangzuo wants 10,000 pieces of armor, 5,000 long knives, 6,000 spears, 2,000 guns, 150,000 rounds of medicine, 50 big Buddha machines, and 1,000 barrels of gunpowder? Liu Zeqing actually wants a military salary of no less than 50,000 silver dollars per month and a reward? ”

Li Shouhan stood tall in the lobby of the Yin'an Palace, shaking several copies of the gift in his hand, those were official documents from the two Liu General Soldiers, and the numbers that Shouhan read aloud. It comes from above.

The lion opened his mouth to these inland military leaders. I want to slaughter the Nanyue Army as a sheep in the countryside. Chen Tianhua, Liao Dongzhi and the others didn't say anything, because of the military discipline of the Nanyue Army, they just showed a disdainful smile on their faces, but they were the two deputy generals of the Beijing camp. But he jumped to his feet and scolded regardless of it.

From Beijing to Tianjin. From Tianjin to Denglai. From Denglai all the way to Jinan, they had already been subdued by the Nanyue army. The military prestige and various material supplies along the way made them convinced and envious of the Nanyue Army. The military orders of the Shouhan and Nanyue armies were also much obedient. However, the arrogance and arrogance that was put away in front of the Nanyue Army and the Shouhan were not necessarily restrained in front of others.

On the contrary, for the local garrison in Shandong, their arrogance is a full foot plus three. Originally! We are soldiers of the Beijing camp, and we are under the command of Uncle Ning Yuan, which one can compare to this double glory?

Therefore, when I heard Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's lion open mouth, I couldn't help but scold the two lieutenant generals.

"What bullshit! Before an inch of merit was made, he dared to ask for a weapon reward in front of his uncle? Uncle is a benevolent elder, but we don't rub sand in our eyes! ”

"That's it! What a big dog guts! actually extorted a reward from the uncle, the uncle has a good temper, but Lao Tzu's temper is not so good! ”

The soldiers and horses of the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion were really not idle along the way, and in their own words, they were almost stripped of a layer of skin by Ning Yuanbo.

After the landing of the 3,000 Battalion in Denglai, they trained together with the cavalry of the Second Town, learning from the cavalry of the Nanyue Army, which allowed the officers and soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion to get what they wanted, and everyone rushed forward together to cheer each other on.

But the Shenji Battalion just can't stop complaining.

As soon as he landed, he was summoned to conduct mixed group training with Liao Dongzhi's 3rd Brigade. Those armor commanders, who were not tall and even looked a little short, black and thin, carried whips in their hands, and almost taught the firearms combat process of the entire Nanyue Army to the Shenji Battalion. After that, it's time to get started.

Training! It's also very simple, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion are jointly trained.

The cavalry of the 3,000 battalion marched like a wall, and the musketeers of the Shenji battalion lined up in a row to list the muskets that had not been loaded with projectiles to aim and shoot. However, if the cavalry had not been within thirty paces before firing, the whips of raw cowhide and copper wire in the hands of the commanders would have made good contact with the bodies of these soldiers.

However, people are bitter worms, and they can't do it if they don't fight. When these children of the Beijing camp, who usually have their nostrils facing the sky, were whipped with a leather whip that cut their heads and covered their faces by the commanders of the Nanyue Army, who did not talk about any family relationship at all, they also knew that it would be beneficial to act according to military orders, and if they did not act according to military orders, or could not make actions according to the orders of their commanders, they would be waiting for them with leather whips, military sticks, hungry food, and other small subjects.

From Dengzhou Mansion, Weihaiwei and other places all the way to Jinan Mansion, in the past, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who were flashy and strict have also faded a lot of flashy temperament, and they have been replaced by the signs of becoming the elite of a hundred battles.

Watching the changes of his troops day by day, the two deputy generals who were inextricably linked with Chengguo Gong and Xiangcheng Bo were overjoyed in their eyes. They know better than anyone what it means to have a strong elite army in these turbulent and turbulent times. Relying on Ning Yuanbo's soldiers and horses to make meritorious contributions and raise soldiers is not a problem, and whether they can make meritorious contributions depends on themselves. But now, these two Lius are actually ashamed to jump out and ask for guns, food, and money, and want to take away the supplies and meritorious service opportunities that belong to them, is this worth it?

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, robbing others of the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, this revenge is basically the same as digging the ancestral grave, right?

"Luo Zuming, talk about Chery, do you two want to make meritorious contributions?"

Shouhan lost his temper, put aside the official document in his hand, and asked Luo Zuming, the deputy general of the 3,000 battalion and the deputy general of the Shenji battalion, about Chery with a pleasant face.

"The last general and others will follow the uncle from Beijing to Shandong, and they don't plan to follow the uncle's tail for a day, cut off the rebellion for my Ming court, and sweep away the smoke and dust!"

In the end, it was from the Beijing garrison, and the slogan was shouted uniformly by Luo and Tan. For those who don't know, how many times do they think they've rehearsed below!

"Good! Since the two of you are eager to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, Ben Bo will give you this opportunity! ”

With Shouhan's glance, the staff officers of the camp office present immediately brought over a huge wooden frame, on which were hung topographic maps of various state capitals in Shandong. It is marked with small flags of different colors.

The crowd leaned over to take a closer look. On the map, in addition to the white pennant representing the Abatai headquarters that flowed into Shandong, there are more than a dozen small flags marked by gossip in various state capitals along the canal.

Since Abatai invaded the customs and Li Zicheng began to attack the city in Henan, the already silent land of Shandong has become full of smoke again. Some of them are old guys, and they even rebelled against Xu Hongru during the Apocalypse. When Shouhan led the Nanyue Army into the defense the previous time, this group of guys had to go to rob the grain baggage of the Nanyue Army.

Among the bandit leaders everywhere. Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Cambodia, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan and others are the most fierce. At present, they have also captured Tengxian, Zouxian, Yixian and other county seats, as well as Xia Town, the main road of Caoyun, and attacked Yanzhou, Qufu, Tancheng and other places, and soon controlled the vast areas on both sides of the canal in Shandong, intercepted Caoyun, and inflicted heavy losses on the officers and troops many times.

These guys are so smooth. First, it is a revisit to the old place, and the above-mentioned areas were looted by this group of bandits once when Xu Hongru rebelled, and they can be regarded as familiar with the way. Second, after the Wuqiao Mutiny from Kong Youde, Shandong's military strength was much worse than before. The year before last, it was plundered by Dolgon. It can be described as a great loss of vitality.

Zou and Teng counties are adjacent to Jining in the north. It is bordered by Xuzhou in the south. It is an important part of the canal and the economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty.

For the Ming and Qing dynasties whose capital was in Beijing, the canal transportation in history was undoubtedly a major artery and a high-voltage power line. There is no this. No matter what kind of saint you are, you can't play it. This is why when Shouhan entered Beijing several times, when he was faced with the possibility of tearing his face with the central officials of the Ming Dynasty, he had to arrange to cut off the canal transportation.

"Once this place is bad, the country's road to advance and retreat is exhausted!"

If it weren't for the fact that Shouhan used sea transportation to constantly transport a large number of grain, rice, cloth, oil, salt, and silver dollars to Tianjin and transfer them into Beijing, I am afraid that with the loss of the above-mentioned areas, the price of grain in Beijing would have changed several times a day.

"When Xu Hongru was in turmoil the previous time, Zou County was lost, and Yasheng Mansion was killed. Mr. Meng Chengguang, the sixty-sixth grandson of Yasheng, and his eldest son, Meng Hongluo, unfortunately died. Now that the bandits are spying on Qufu again, you will immediately lead the army and horses there, and together with Brigade Commander Liao of the Third Brigade, you will exterminate the bandits there! ”

With the elite of the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion, and Liao Dongzhi's third brigade as a backer, such a Taishan overwhelming force to deal with a group of bandits, such a battle is undoubtedly a great merit for the uncle to give our two brothers! How does this not hurry up and rejoice next?

Luo Zuming and Tan Chery respectfully accompanied Liao Dongzhi all the way out of Jinan and went south along the canal to Zou County and Teng County.

"Brother Liao, why does Uncle want to deal with the bandits so vigorously? Are you really afraid that they will not be able to cooperate with thieves and slaves? ”

After setting up camp, Luo Zuming ordered his army cooks to renovate a table of banquets, and invited Liao Dongzhi to drink and talk about Chery as a companion.

Along the way, Luo and Tan have fully displayed one of the great talents of the generals of the Jingying: communication. Countless sycophants made Liao Dongzhi, a man from a peasant family in eastern Guangdong, although he still looked down on the two in front of him, but he was not so annoying.

"But you don't know that the current leader of the bandits in Shandong, the so-called Wenxiang Sect leader Wang Ke, is actually bold enough to order someone to leave a letter at the door of the lord's study to provoke. The lord is very annoyed, and specially ordered you two to go to war with me, so that these rebellions must be put down in one fell swoop! ”

Liao Dongzhi put down the wine glass in his hand and motioned for his soldiers to take his protective book, took out a copy from it and handed it to Luo and Tan.

This copy was copied from the letter sent by Wang Ke and circulated to the generals of the various armies.

"Under the throne of the childless old mother, who is in charge of the Eastern Mahayana sect, the Dharma King Shi Buddha Wang Keshu, to the Southern Barbarian Dragon and Tiger General Ning Yuanbo Li Xi:

Carved hundreds of millions of trillions of divine troops gathered, should have swept the border, the jade was burned, no matter the virtuous or foolish, burned, but Jinan was densely populated, and the people were innocent, and they were devastated by this. Therefore, we will not attack it for the time being. ”

"You and other Southern Barbarian dogs and sheep are proud of their own strength, but they are actually unbearable. Ruer and others do not shy away from swords. There is a wilderness in the east, which can be used as a battlefield, and the battle period is set, and the decisive battle with our divine army, the male and female will make a decision, why bother to shrink their heads and hide their necks, for the sake of the whole plan? As everyone knows, under the broken nest, there are no eggs, and I have a billion-dollar divine army in one place, and you will not leave any ugly people. ”

The smell of this provocation is extremely strong. The lines are full of disdainful letters against the Nanyue Army. Even Luo Zuming and Tan Qirui were so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and the seven orifices were smoking.

"Brother Liao, you say, what should we do with this group of bandits?"

"The lord has a life. We just have to wipe out the bandits in Zou County and Teng County. Don't let one person slip through the net. As for the hidden bandits in Jinan City. At this moment, I am afraid that it is also difficult to escape. ”

That night, the city of Jinan closed its doors.

Just under the banner of Mahayana, Eastern Mahayana, Mahayana Hongtongjiao, Hongfengjiao, Dachengjiao, Shanyoujiao, Hongyangjiao, Wuweijiao, Qingjingmen (commonly known as Qingchamen), Baiyangjiao, Baiyangjiao, Guiyijiao, Jinbaojiao, etc. I don't know how many incense masters, altar masters, living Buddhas and the like have been caught, and although some of them have not rebelled, other sects closely related to Wenxiang Sect, such as the Yuandun Sect, the Mahayana Yuandun Sect, and the Huiyuan Sect, have also been uprooted.

Register the household registration in the city, issue household registration posts, register house numbers, compile insurance armor, and implement a ten-household joint insurance system. If there are people from other places who do not register with the company, if the neighbors hide it from each other, all ten households will be guilty of the same crime! There is a big reward for whistleblowers! In addition to the reward given by the officials, the property of the sinner family can be divided into 30%.

In this way, the security in Jinan City is unprecedentedly good.

Those officials of Jinan Prefecture and Licheng County led the soldiers of the Nanyue Army to arrest elements everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city.

I didn't ask much when I got it, just let the suspect say, "What kind of bullshit is a childless mother?" Wang Sen and Wang Ke deceived the world and stole their names to defraud money. "If you say it very happily, you will dispose of it separately, and if you insist on not saying it, tie it up immediately. Most of these people are Christians seven or eight times out of ten.

"After arresting these people, as well as those prisoners of the bandits who fought with us, what should we do? You can't kill them all, can you? ”

"Killed? Heaven has the virtue of a good life! ”

Liao Dongzhi smiled and drank all the spirits in the cup.

He touched his short mustache very comfortably, "Two brothers, do you want to make meritorious contributions and get rich again?" ”

"Yes!" The two spoke in unison.

"A prisoner of the prime-aged bandits, a silver dollar. A female bandit, half a silver dollar. Three young children taught bandits a silver dollar. But you can't be accused of being a thief, you must be physically free of injuries and diseases! ”

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"The lord is cultivating wasteland in Nanzhong, building roads and bridges, and don't people need to work anywhere? It's a pity that these bandits killed them. It's better to let the two brothers make a small fortune! ”

Luo Zuming and Tan Chery looked at each other, and they both saw the increasingly thick smiles that gradually emerged from each other's faces.

"I have long known that it is very refreshing to follow my uncle, and I don't want my uncle to be so sympathetic to his subordinates!"

After the group passed Feicheng, the scouts and side horses felt that the atmosphere was very strange.

On both sides of the avenue, in the woods, behind the hills, there were constantly strange figures flashing, peeking at the army in front of them.

These people are Wang Ke and several incense masters, the self-appointed marshals of the altar masters, and the team of the Xiangxiang Sect led by the prime minister.

In fact, as early as when the Nanyue Army and the Jingying troops led by General Luo and Tan left Jinan, Wang Ke and others in the Dongping area had already received news from the hidden piles lurking in Jinan City and the congregation that opened the altar to accept disciples. The Nanyue Army is an outsider, and its internal control is extremely strict, so it can't reach into its tentacles for a while. However, Jinan and other places, whether it is an official office or a military camp, or the deep mansion compound of a wealthy gentry, for this group of guys who pretend to be gods, it is tantamount to a thoroughfare, and it cannot stop the spying of these bandits and gangsters, and some officials and gentlemen are themselves believers in the bandits.

Therefore, Wang Ke can be said to know the actions of this army well. The ambush plan had already been discussed with several of his big leaders. The battlefield was chosen in Dongping County. After the official army entered the ambush circle, the Holy Sect army violently attacked the marching ranks of the official army from east to west, driving the official army down Dongping Lake.

In order to achieve this goal, Wang Ke and his subordinates repeatedly speculated, and decided that luring the enemy deep and attacking fiercely should be used in one place.

The bandits were divided into several divisions, first luring the officers and soldiers into the depths with small troops, allowing the officers and troops to win a small victory and then pursue, and then throwing gold and silver treasures along the way, if the officers and soldiers were in a fierce pursuit after the plan, or the competition for gold and silver was in chaos, they were ambushed in the eastern part of the official road tens of thousands of cultists suddenly set up a group to besiege.

"This plan will certainly defeat the officers and men of Nanyue, who claim to have never been defeated."

The king looked hatefully at the reeds on the pale Dongping Lake in the distance.

Originally, more than two-thirds of the land in Jining, Dongying, Liaocheng, Xiajin, Wucheng, Binzhou, Tai'an, Heze, Pingyuan, Dezhou, and Qingzhou, which was originally his very stable base area, was owned by King De and other clans, and the tenants in those wangzhuang were always potential targets for the development of his Xiangxiang Sect.

But since the year before last, these lands have become the property of Ning Yuanbo and the Nanyue Army, this group of originally obscene and cowardly mud legs have even begun to straighten their waists!

The disabled officers and soldiers of the Nanyue Army who were retired from the Grange were organized in accordance with the military system, and the peasant households had stable and sufficient living guarantees such as grain, oil and salt, cotton jackets in winter, medicine for the injured and sick, dividends for completing production tasks, and rewards for harvests. During the slack season, young adults are organized for military training to ensure the safety of their homes. These are the benefits and hopes that people who are born in troubled times can see and feel.

When people are full of hope and sunshine, they will only believe in reality, and will not pin their fate on the ethereal so-called religion and the afterlife.

In this way, Wang Ke's market was invisibly compressed.

After the incident, everything was very smooth, but in the above-mentioned areas, the bandits returned one after another, and were beaten by the strong men in the grange and their heads were bloody, their noses and faces were swollen.

Therefore, he and his holy religion had to bypass this vast and rich region. Operating in a small area is very difficult for food, grass, and soldiers.

Today, he is going to defeat Ning Yuanbo's army by Dongping Lake, and let those mud-legged people see who is their true destiny!

At noon, the water vapor blowing from Dongping Lake was forcibly combined with cold violence by the cold north wind, producing their crystals. Light sleet mixed with ice and snowflakes falls from time to time, moistening the dry earth.

With the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, the smoke and dust of the official road in the distance seemed to be overwhelming, and with the rising smoke and dust, a large area of black and oppressive cavalry rushed towards the area of Dayang Township.

These cavalry marched in a very orderly procession, five horses in a column, ten paces apart from each other, two paces from the left and right, and twenty-five paces apart. The knights on the horses wore eight-petal hats and iron-tipped helmets, the sergeants in iron-clad armor carried bird guns, and the iron-clad sergeants had spears inserted in their saddle covers.

With the agitation of the cold wind, the iron helmets of each person, as well as the bright red cloak, flew with the horses hunting, and the armor of each person was painted with red paint, a dazzling fiery red color.

It was the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion with the 3rd brigade!

Later, the Shenji Battalion and the brigade of the 3rd Brigade slowly followed up with the momentum of a mountain.

When Liao Dongzhi's brigade crossed Dayang Township in Dongping County and was about to settle down in Dongping County to rest, several scout posts in front of him came on Pegasus.

"My lord! About ten miles ahead, more than 2,000 bandits blocked the way. Looks like they want to fight! (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry, there are more things to do before the end of the year, and it's too late to update. I just try.
