In October of the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), less than a year later, the Houjin army entered the Kou again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Dorowu Yingjun King Azig together with Rao Yu Belle Abatai, Yingcheng Gong Yang Guli commanded the army to break through the Great Wall defense line from Dushikou and go straight to the north of Zhili. Eight days later, the army gathered in Yanqing County, near the capital, defeated the Ming army seven times, and captured 13,230 people and animals. In order to prevent the army from taking advantage of the situation, the whole city of Beijing was under martial law, and the elite soldiers of each border town were urgently recruited. Following the change in the second year of Chongzhen, Beizhili was once again shrouded in the clouds of war.

When the news of Houjin's entry into the Kou reached Shandong, it did not cause too much concern among the local military and civilians. After all, in the eyes of the government and the people, the first few times the Tartars entered the Kou, they either plundered in Xuanfu and Datong, or attacked and harassed in the area of the capital, ran away after robbing, and never went south, so although the Tartar army was only a few hundred miles away from Shandong, not many people were worried that they would suffer. Many people believe that God is fair, and Shandong has only been freed from the raging rebels for a long time, and it is impossible for them to suffer from military disasters again.

At this time, outside Dengzhou City, Lin Weiye was still urging the construction of a fortress for the integration of military camps and fortresses. For military fans of tech nerds, it is a great blessing to be able to build a permanent fortress with their own hands. In order to resist He Rubin's army, a rammed earth temporary fortress was built near Bofu, but it was bulldozed soon after the war, and there has always been a regret in his heart, which can finally be made up for now.

Su Thick Legs led the newly recruited soldiers of the Independent Regiment to drill nearby. He offered to let recruits assist in the construction of the barracks, but Lin Weiye refused. His opinion was that with the help of the governor of Xie, there were enough men and craftsmen to make it necessary to make the soldiers serve as coolies. The new independent regiment, except for a few backbones, has too many recruits, and they should step up their training, so as not to encounter the enemy's guns and not be able to fire.

Later facts proved that Lin Weiye's caution was correct.

So Su Thick Legs led the recruits to devote themselves to training. The guns and ammunition transported from Lingao have arrived in Dengzhou, but Su Thick Leg did not rush to let the recruits practice firearms, but started from the most basic queue and assassination practice, but the artillery followed the instructor from Lingao to start the test firing of mountain artillery, and the sound of artillery rumbled on the temporary shooting range at the other end of the day - because the independent regiment was starting from scratch and lacked talents, it was different from the first and second regiments of Lingao, there was no regimental artillery battalion, only four infantry battalions that were not under the formation, so the artillery used was only the 6 kg mountain guns used by the battalion artillery company, The 10-pound field gun, a big killer, was not equipped.

On this day, Ma Wei came to the barracks construction site, found Lin Weiye, and asked him for instructions: "My lord, Governor Xie said that there is a horse thief activity in Mishen Mountain at the junction of Laizhou and Dengzhou, and it is said that some rebel remnants colluded with local bandits to rob homes and houses. If you want to lead the cavalry battalion to try, you will be a training soldier, and these people have practiced good riding skills, but unfortunately they have not seen blood. "The cavalry battalion is under the direct jurisdiction of the general army, although it can be commanded by the deputy general Su Thick Leg in wartime, but it has a lot of autonomy in peacetime, so if you want to send troops to suppress bandits, you don't need to consult Su Rough Leg's opinion, but you have to ask Lin Weiye for instructions.

Lin Weiye, who was immersed in the role of the contractor foreman at the construction site, remembered that he still had the identity of the general soldier of Dengzhou, and immediately said with a smile: "Since it is the meaning of Governor Xie and the good thing of protecting the territory and the people, you can go." However, remember not to cross the border of the Eastern Three Prefectures, after all, the Western Three Prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shandong, and it is not good to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

Ma Wei responded in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart. He made up his mind to train the troops, and this horse thief must be pursued to the end, otherwise the first battle of the cavalry battalion would not be complete, which would not only affect morale, but also lose face for him, the commander of the cavalry battalion. As for whether they will be chased out of the scope of the Eastern Three Provinces, there is no guarantee, and the new governor of Shandong does not dare to do anything to himself anyway -- this cavalry and independent regiment are nominally subordinate to Dengzhou's soldiers and horses, but in fact they are Ping Nanbo's people, and the Shandong officialdom almost knows it well -- he does not know what kind of butterfly effect his willful decision will bring.

The next day, the cavalry battalion, led by Ma Wei, rushed out from the west gate of Dengzhou, with the sound of hooves rumbling, like a whirlwind, heading westward.

The sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, the cloudy situation in Beizhili did not affect Guangdong, and Ping Nanbo's marriage was still carried out step by step, and Qiongzhou Mansion and Lingao County were immersed in a jubilant atmosphere.

After intensive planning and arrangement, the route and team to welcome the relatives, the layout of the new house, and the security measures along the way were carried out in an orderly manner, and the time soon came to the ninth day of November.

The ninth day of the lunar month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is advisable to marry, travel, sacrifice, and pray for blessings. A huge welcoming party came to Guangzhou, and set off from the dock to a private residence in Mu Tianyan to greet the bride - although Xie Wenjun usually lived with his aunt in the backyard of the governor's yamen, but the relatives could not go to the yamen, so it was changed to his uncle's private house.

Chinese people have always liked to see the lively, not to mention that this is Guangdong's premier big man Ping Nanbo married, half of the people of Guangzhou City almost came, thousands of empty alleys, the route along the way is tightly encircled, if it is not for the heavily armed Qiong Navy soldiers set up a human wall to block, I am afraid that the sedan chair is difficult to move forward.

In order to ensure the smooth reception of the family, Yu Baocheng, the prefect of Guangzhou, sent almost all the officials and arresters in the city to assist the Qiong naval soldiers in maintaining order - this marriage involved two governors and an earl, one in the south and one in the north, two of which were local magnates, and he could not afford to offend either of them, and if something went wrong, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Gou Ergui mingled in the crowd, clutching a dagger in his arms, staring at the direction of the sedan chair with hatred in his eyes - he wanted to wait for the wedding party to receive the bride, and then rush in to kill the woman. If you can't kill the person surnamed Xia, you can also relieve your anger if you kill his woman. Although the consequences of doing so, whether it succeeded or not, were tantamount to death, he couldn't care about it that much.

After following He Rubin's army from Guangzhou to Qiongzhou, he once thought that his chance to turn over had come, but the defeat of the Guangdong army gave him a blow to the head, and then in the summer, the southern army brazenly invaded Guangdong, bombarded the city of Guangzhou, and forced Wang Zunde, the governor of Liangguang at that time, to conclude an alliance under the city, completely breaking his illusions.

Just when Gou Ergui gave up all his unrealistic thoughts and was ready to rely on a little bit of his family's old money to start from scratch again, Xia Nan's successive actions destroyed his hopes.

First of all, when the three counties paid taxes on their behalf, they cleared the hidden fields and the gentry paid the grain in one piece, and all the hidden fields in his name were cleared, so that he lost more than half of the fertile land; Not long ago, Qiong Haijun once again set off a storm, using the name of the Tiannan Commercial Bank to "buy" the landlords who owned more acres of land in the name of the three counties, bought the fertile land at market prices, and only reserved 350 acres of land for the sellers, and then transferred them to his own name, and handed them over to refugees from Shandong and other places to cultivate.
