Only one of the rangers was seriously injured, he fell off his horse and was trampled by his own people, and he needed to get out of the battlefield to recuperate, and most of the others were unharmed, and there were a few minor injuries that were just scratches of the skin.

"It's amazing!"

The heroes of Shandong stretched out their thumbs to the Sichuan army one after another, Gao Yunxuan and Wu Yue'er were dizzying just now, and they felt that the battle was over in the blink of an eye, and all that was left was to chase the dead and chase the north.

"It seems to be easier than the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Camp to beat us." Gao Yunxuan couldn't help but spit out this heartfelt sentence, when Qi Xia listened to the heroes from all walks of life talking about the fierce gods from the northwest, it seemed that the righteous army could hold on for a while; And the equipment, training and military discipline of this green battalion must be higher than the average of the rebel army.

"Because we're well equipped." Song Weishen was proud in his heart, but he still had to be modest: "How can our armor be comparable to the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors?" Their armor is something we can't afford to get back. ”

Everyone was even more envious when they heard it, but the equipment of Song Weishen and the others was indeed convincing, and the three walls and the rangers were all guards that Deng Ming paid for out of his own pocket. Deng Ming is young and has a lot of money, and it is a matter of his face and safety, so he pays a high salary to the guards, which is still because he is worried that other soldiers will have opinions. If the commandos buy equipment other than the distribution on their own, Deng Ming also promised to reimburse half to seventy percent according to the type, the commandos are not poor in the first place, and they are related to their own life safety, so they are willing to spend money, let alone save Deng Ming.

Now the blacksmith shop in Chengdu is developing well, and the commandos have purchased a large amount of personal equipment from it, which is definitely the first in the whole army. Some armor lines are also according to Deng Ming's requirements, designed a half-body plate armor to replace the best mountain armor now, the most mature will probably be able to pass the test next year and put into production, if the standing army wants to equip it, it also needs to be funded by the academy, but many commandos have privately discussed waiting to return to Sichuan to pay a deposit of 30%, and the rest of the balance is given by Deng Ming.

"We are equivalent to the family members of the national prince." Song Weishen is very cautious in his choice of words, but he feels that in addition to changing his surname, he is indeed very similar to Jiading in other aspects, and the military salary is the responsibility of Deng Ming rather than by the state, although the commandos enjoy the same treatment as other soldiers, but the Jiading will not be considered not to belong to the Ming soldiers.

The heroes of Shandong are even more awe-inspiring, the family is the real person of the general, and even the military discipline can't control the head of the family, and it is the family law rather than the military discipline that restricts them. Song Weishen asked the Shandong heroes to divide up the captured Qing army weapons, and these dozens of heroes had never had a full set of outfits, and they all happily tried them on. However, the equipment of the three hundred Qing soldiers was definitely not used up by these heroes, and soon the leader told Song Weishen that he knew that there were several mountain kings nearby who had not been included in the list of Qing soldiers because of their weak strength. Each of these mountain kings also has more than 20 men under them, and it is better for them to wear armor to fight against the Qing army together than to throw their equipment here.

After Song Weishen consulted Gao Yunxuan and Wu Yue'er, he asked the allied army to send envoys to greet them down the mountain, and at the same time sent knights to escort these envoys.

Yang Qiu and others, who were captured, were now incorporated into the Minfu team, responsible for helping the Ming army carry supplies -- originally there was a lot of work that Shandong heroes helped do, but now Shandong heroes have put on armor and viciously held leather whips to urge the captured green battalion not to be lazy.

……

On the way to Shandong, Deng Ming met Gan Hui and others again, and under their introduction, he also met Zheng Zhanxu and Zheng Xi, and the latter two were a little disappointed when they saw that Deng Ming had no intention of completely solving Zheng Jing. But after thinking about it, anyway, as long as Taiwan accepts Deng Ming's proposal, then they can share the income equally with Taiwan, and the relationship between the Zhoushan Zheng family and the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army is better, as long as they operate with peace of mind, sooner or later they will surpass the Taiwan Zheng family.

Relying on the strong support of these Fujian generals, Deng Ming successfully completed the landing quickly with nearly 500 guards, but the consumption of these 500 cavalry was amazing, almost equivalent to the consumption of 4,000 infantry. The Min army did its best to send the minimum supplies needed by these cavalry ashore with them, so that the sneak attack on the post station could be carried out smoothly.

After capturing a series of post stations, Deng Ming was provided with much-needed fodder and a small number of horses, which made the supply pressure of the Min army slightly lighter, and they did not have to be busy carrying grain and grass ashore and transporting it to Deng Ming's cavalry on foot, but could use more men to repair the coastal warehouse. However, maintaining mobility on such a large territory has greatly increased Deng Ming's consumption. For a while, Deng Ming was unable to build a field warehouse and reserve it, so he would definitely have to use the post station of the Qing court as a base in the near future, and Deng Ming would not be able to further expand the size of his descendants until the Min army paved a road connecting the landing site with the original official road system in Shandong.

Because of the continued porter, Deng Ming gave up the usual preferential treatment policy for prisoners, and the captured Green Battalion soldiers were all used as free labor. For the direction of Jinan, Deng Ming had already sent several waves of Shandong heroes to provoke and shoot the text into the post station, hoping to influence the Manchu army on the Xuzhou front through Jinan. However, in the direction of Laizhou and Dengzhou, Deng Ming did not mention his identity at all, so as not to frighten his opponents - by exterminating the local green battalions sent by the counties to dredge the post road, plus the prisoners captured at the post station, Deng Ming already had a free labor team of 1,000 people.

……

"The Xiong prefect is a bastard," Fu Shancha poured himself a full glass of wine, and scolded the Laizhou prefect as before, their Ganshan Green Battalion made great contributions in Shandong, but now the Shandong people actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge, urging them to leave Shandong and go to Jiangnan to catch up with the big army all day long; Zu Zepu is also the governor, and the officers of the standard battalion dare not be too presumptuous, and Xiong Sen, the prefect of Laizhou, who is responsible for urging them, bears the brunt: "The surname Xiong is not a good thing!" I knew it when I was in Sichuan! ”

Sitting opposite Fu Shancha was another Sichuan-Shaanxi standard officer Yao Changzun, the first battle of Chongqing, a total of 280 people in the standard camp were captured, and since then Li Guoying's standard camp officers have seen Deng Ming in almost two of the three. Both Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun were captured when they were attacked by Deng Ming's flank when they followed their commanders to cooperate with Daniel Zhang and Wang Jinbao and Zhao Tianba. Among the large group of officers sitting in the room now, those who have not been captured by Deng Ming are the alien minority.

"The governor, his old man, went to Jiangnan to fight with Governor Deng again." Yao Changzun's eyebrows furrowed into the word "Sichuan", and he held his wine glass in the air: "There are so many battles to fight in the world, why does the governor and his old man always go to Admiral Deng's unhappy?" This is actually making yourself unhappy, right? ”

The other officers present knew that this was just a grumbling remark, because Li Guoying was obviously ordered to go, and when Li Guoying followed Prince Kang away, he left 200 guards to assist Zu Zepu in stabilizing the place. Hearing that there was no need to go to Jiangnan to fight with Deng Ming, these 200 people were happy from the bottom of their hearts, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and in the last two days, on average, the prefect's yamen would forward a letter of urging from Jinan, asking them to return to the provincial capital as soon as possible and then go to Li Guoying to return to the building.

"It's not that we Shaanxi people are kind and easy to bully, so they bully us honest people all day long." Fu Shancha obviously drank too much wine, and even the governor of Zu Zepu carried it: "When our parents were still the old Qin army, the grandsons of Liaodong knew how to bully the old Qin army, and every time they fought, they ran first and threw the old Qin army off the top tank - when my uncle talked about the past, he was angry and said that it was a pity that everyone was loyal to the emperor, otherwise they would have to throw the Liaodong people and make them often powerful - Oh, by the way, the king of Pingxi was in Baoning, and he wanted to throw our old Qin army off the top tank, thanks to the governor's ability to resist Liu Wenxiu. ”

Although Zu Zepu was also thrown in the first battle of Jinzhou, but this could not change the history of their ancestral family being the Liao army, Fu Shancha became more and more angry the more he said: "This time Admiral Deng came, they pushed our old Qin army - the honest people of the Ganshan Green Battalion up, and hid in the back, this is their ancestral mastery!" I hate, hate. ”

"But this time it's been a long time, and there has been no official letter urging us to return to Jinan for four days, right?" Listening to Fu Shancha's words, not only the governor was involved, but even the king of Pingxi had the momentum to appear, Yao Changzun hurriedly pulled the topic away, and he pointed out that there has been no text in Jinan recently.

"Did the governor of Shandong change his mind?" Several Shaanxi people were full of longing for discussion, and after a while, someone suddenly said: "Recently, there have been rumors in Laizhou and Dengzhou that the imperial court intends to let Governor Zu go to Jiangnan to serve as a ......."

"Great!" Fu Shancha slapped his thigh: "Sichuan should be considered Jiangnan, half of the province is south of the Yangtze River, Governor Zu and Governor Li will change positions for the old man, Sichuan is rich, the country of abundance, as long as they can lay down Chengdu's gold and silver treasures, they are theirs." ”

"Well, it would be nice if it did." Yao Changzun was touched by these words, and let out a long sigh: "We have been fighting with Admiral Deng for so long, Admiral Deng has left on the front foot, Kuidong's gang has come again, Kuidong people are gone, and Admiral Deng is here again...... When is this day a head? ”

Thinking of the hard days in Chongqing, other colleagues in the green camp couldn't help but sigh.

"We have been serving the country for so long, and we should move to a place where we can't meet Admiral Deng to suppress bandits, and spend the second half of our lives in peace, for example, this Shandong is very good, you see that there are police in Jiangnan, and it is actually Shandong soldiers who stayed behind to let us Shaanxi people go."

"They're just bullying honest people." Fu Shancha muttered again.

"I feel that I am tired of killing," Yao Changzun looked sentimental, and let out a war-weary cry: "I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to kill people, I just want to find a quiet place and live the rest of my life peacefully!" ”

Many green camps showed their hearts, and Fu Shancha no longer complained but raised his wine glass: "Brother, drink, drink." ”

At this moment, suddenly outside the camp reported that Xiong Sen, the prefect of Laizhou, sent another paperwork.

"He's urging him, who said just now that Governor Zu had changed his mind?" Fu Shancha scolded again, and without looking at him, he could guess that this was another order urging them to return to Jinan.

"I'm tired of killing, but war hasn't tired me yet." The pacifist Yao Changzun spat out a rather poetic emotion, took the document and opened it.

"Good thief!" After only two glances, Yao Changzun was furious and jumped three feet high: "There are thieves attacking the post station, and the prefect wants us to go and kill it quickly." ”

Xiong Sen's order stated that even the important Gray Bu Station, which was located on the Jiaoshui River, had lost contact with the Jiaodong River, which meant that the communication between the Jiaodong Peninsula and Jinan had been completely cut off.

Although he didn't understand why a group of heroes were able to take the Dadu port on the Jiaoshui River and the key post station on the Jiaodong Channel, Yao Changzun immediately knew that the opportunity to make a fortune had come, and when they woke up, there was nothing to plunder around. But the gray port post is different, recovering this post station can make a small fortune in the towns around the ferry by the way, the only thing that makes people strange is how such a good beauty can fall into the hands of Shaanxi people.

Of course, Xiong Sen's documents will not say that the hundreds of horsemen he sent to recover the post station have all disappeared en masse, and they have not even come back, but if he doesn't bring the post station back to report safety to Jinan, no matter how good the relationship between him and Governor Zu is, it will not work. In a hurry, Xiong Sen remembered the 200 Sichuan Shaanxi Governors who were grinding foreign workers in Laiyang Mansion and refused to leave, and with their proud combat power, Xiong Governor was convinced that they could immediately open up the post road, so it didn't matter if they were plagued by the surrounding areas of the Gray Port Post - and these Shaanxi people also had a good reputation for strict military discipline, and they had never harmed the local bad deeds.

"What do you care about so much?" Fu Shancha also jumped up, the gray port post has been well protected by officers and soldiers in the whole chaos, and has never been affected by military disasters outside the war zone, it turns out that God is leaving the standard for their Sichuan and Shaanxi governors: "The prefect's order is to trust and cultivate us, send troops, send troops immediately!" ”

"Brothers, the thief is gone!" Yao Changzun was the first to run back to the camp to gather his subordinates, and he mobilized with a fierce face: "The day before the emperor raised the army, it was used at this time!" We'll get the ferry and the post house back first, and then we'll take a pot of rich people around the gray port! This is not our hometown in Shaanxi, and the brothers do not need to be polite. ”

On 1 October, 200 officers and men of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors, who had received orders from the Laizhou Prefecture, left the camp like lightning and set off, fearing that the Laizhou Governor would change their minds and regret it. It wasn't until halfway through the journey that everyone was relieved.

In Laizhou Mansion, Xiong Sen also felt a headache for this incident, and when the suppression of bandits was about to be completed, he actually let the bandits who had slipped through the net cut off the post road for several days, which was bound to have a very bad impact on his evaluation. If there is another similar situation, it is estimated that his official position will be suspended. Xiong Sen thought in his heart, anyway, now Yu Qi and the others are already salted fish who can't turn over, so they can make up for it, transfer a staff general and two battalions of soldiers back from the front line, and then give enough auxiliary soldiers to form an army of two thousand to sweep up the thieves around the post road.

"A huge post station was actually captured by thieves, and those soldiers and horses sent earlier, were they lost or wiped out? I guess I'm lost, right? Otherwise, there will be no news at all, and when they come back, they will have to pick their skins. Xiong Sen muttered, but still signed a dispatch order and sent it to Dengzhou Mansion, asking them to return a Laizhou staff general and let him bring back eight hundred Laizhou Mansion City armor.
