Li Xin's judgment made Zhang Fangyan unable to sit still, and he seemed a little impatient when discussing the current situation with Li Xin.

"Fengyang Mansion is the place where my Ming Dragon is prosperous, if there is another mistake, how should the subordinates face the Holy Lord? The old man is determined to levy the people and go south to fight the thieves to the death..."

These words couldn't help but make Li Xin look sideways, although Zhang Fangyan's impression of him was gradually changing, it was difficult to connect Zhang Fangyan, who was now disregarding life and death, with the helpless old man Zhishi who was bullied by evil businessmen in Taiyuan Mansion. It's just that this impassioned speech didn't get a response from the people present, he was a little stupid, and looked at Li Xin again, hoping that he could come up with an idea, after all, Li Xin is the best at military affairs.

There was a brief silence in the main hall, and Yan Binglie, the governor of Jining, peeked at Zhang Fangyan, then at Li Xin, and finally at He Tengjiao, and then lowered his head and said nothing. After the fall of Xuzhou, Jining Prefecture faced a huge threat, and Zhang Fangyan and Li Xin's guards were only a few thousand, and self-protection was still insufficient. Moreover, he must conquer the people under his rule, which is categorically impermissible.

Therefore, Yan Binglie will not express his position if he is playing, and in his opinion, He Tengjiao, who is a soldier in Jixi, will not agree, because Jining Prefecture belongs to Yanzhou Prefecture, and it is also within his jurisdiction, but if he goes south out of Jining Prefecture, it is already the boundary of Xuzhou Prefecture in the south.

But he still underestimated He Tengjiao, and even underestimated the determination of Li Xin and Zhang Fangyan. Li Xin, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "The elder of the pavilion is not unreasonable, but it is not very appropriate to levy and send the people of Jining, it is better for Li Xin to lead 3,000 light soldiers to rush forward as the vanguard, anyway, the main force of the Three Guards will arrive later, so as to delay and deter the thieves, and then do a decisive battle." ”

"This, how does this make? There are 100,000 thieves, and the northern soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Zhenju are not accustomed to the terrain and climate of the south, so they are afraid of ......"

Zhang Fangyan refused, saying that if he thought of another way, he would definitely not take the initiative to enter the army when he was not half sure. Not only him, but even He Tengjiao also objected, "Zhenyu Hou thinks twice, although the lower officials have not built their own efforts before, they can go south to deter, but now it is different from the past, the thieves are in Xuzhou, the morale is great, and our army is ...... with one another."

"Don't say anything, Li Xin's mind has been decided, and the matter of sending troops has been decided." At this point, Li Xin paused, and then cut to the point. "At present, it is only decided how to raise food and grass for the troops, and how to arrange the transfer ships......"

Zhang Fangyan sighed, which was regarded as acquiescence, and He Tengjiao no longer objected, but he was silent because he couldn't turn the corner for a while. He Tengjiao thought that this kind of sending troops was equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg, and he couldn't agree with it anyway.

This discussion broke up unhappily, Li Xin was worried, if the thieves conquered Fengyang Mansion again, the morale of the Ming Dynasty could be imagined. Moreover, once Fengyang is in trouble, Zhang Fangyan, as the governor of Zhejiang and in charge of Fengyang, is also to blame. This person can not only prevent himself from sending troops, but also show that he is a selfless person. It's just that there is one thing that still needs his cooperation, and as soon as he thought of this, a pro-soldier came to report.

"Zhang Ge has sent an urgent delivery to Nanjing, please send someone to deliver it..."

Zhang Fangyan went all the way south, because of the war, all the paperwork was in charge of the cavalry under Li Xin. Seeing that the official document supported by the soldiers was not sealed, his heart opened as soon as he moved, and it turned out to be a transfer order sent to Nanjing, and the bright red governor's seal was impressive. Li Xin sighed for a while, and the old man knew that there was absolutely no possibility of changing his decision, so he had to do what he could.

After the idea of deciding to send troops to contain the thieves was decided, Li Xin actually adopted the previous proposal of He Tengjiao. Originally, he planned to wait for the main force of the Three Guards Army to arrive in Jining, and defeat the thieves head-on with the majestic and mighty army of the Ming Dynasty to deter Jianghuai. However, the plan did not change quickly, and the shape could not wait for the main force of the Three Guards Army to take a sharp turn. And he only has 3,000 men and horses in his hands, and a head-on battle is absolutely impossible, so He Tengjiao's deterrence-based method has become the first choice for taking risks.

All 3,000 people and horses are on boats, and at least 150 ships are needed, but Yan Binglie, the governor of the prefecture, has only collected 100 ships before, and there is still a gap of 50 ships, so is it difficult to send someone to grab it himself? At the critical moment, He Tengjiao helped him and helped him get together a full 200 boats.

On the day of the expedition, the wharf was gloomy, damp and cold, and there was a drizzle on the river, which seemed to indicate the thoughts of Zhang Fangyan, He Tengjiao and others.

"General, please take me with you..."

Suddenly, someone yelled, it turned out to be Li Shuangcai from Dongchang Mansion. Li Xin had also learned from He Tengjiao's mouth before that Li Shuangcai had come with two hundred Dongchang Qingzhuang, but he didn't expect to send troops with him at this time.

……

Two hundred large ships sailed along Surabaya to Qingou, and then went up the river into the Huanghuai waterway. Li Xin stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the county town of Dangshan that was already looming on the south bank of the Huanghuai Waterway in front of him, and at this time, the light rain that had been falling all the way finally stopped, as if it was specially prepared to welcome Li Xin's army. For this reason, Li Xin even worried all the way, the best thing for his soldiers is the firearms phalanx, if the light rain does not stop and the fire rope cannot be used, do you have to wait until the rain stops before attacking? It must be known that the fighter plane is fleeting, but I am afraid that when I reach the outside of Dangshan City, I can't wait for a long time, and the thieves will take the initiative to attack.

But the light rain that lasted for a whole day finally stopped, as if to indicate that the battle of Dangshan, which had attacked the back of the thieves, was about to be won. Li Xin took a deep breath, the air on the river was moist and cold and fresh. This time, he changed his original intention and used He Tengjiao's strategy to attack Dangshan and cut off the back road of the thieves and Henan, which was bound to be won. The small city hidden in the water vapor is getting closer and closer in Li Xin's eyes, and the name of Dang has existed as early as the Warring States period, and the county has changed in the past two thousand years, and it has long since lost its original appearance. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Dangshan County was repeatedly flooded, repeatedly destroyed, and rebuilt. The Dangshan county in front of you was built in the 28th year of Wanli, and it is a small city with rammed earth bricks within a radius of no more than five miles.

These are all things I heard from He Tengjiao before, but I don't know what this small city that has just been completed for decades has been destroyed by thieves? With a heavy shook, he knew that the big ship had landed.

"Give the order to go down, go ashore and assemble, and prepare to attack..."

Niu Jinsong was the first to jump off the ship, commanding the battalions to go ashore and line up, and at the same time coordinating the gunpowder and equipment carried by each ship to go ashore, and the originally calm water shore suddenly became noisy.

"Master Hou, did these of us also go to attack the city with General Niu?"

Li Shuangcai looked at him expectantly behind Li Xin, which made Li Xin wonder, he really didn't know how this thing had such a reversal change, but he didn't want this person to take the lead with his two hundred young people. After all, they are all newcomers who have not gone through the battle formation, so let's keep them as back-to-back soldiers.

"No need, you wait and follow the commander of the Chinese army..." In fact, Li Xin's so-called Chinese army is just a team of 100 people composed of pro-soldiers, Li Shuangcai does not know the truth, and he happily responds to a promise.

The county seat of Dangshan is less than five miles away from the shore of the waterway, and as long as you climb the small dirt slope in front, you can see this small city at a glance. Heisenberg was at the forefront of the soldiers, as he had done in all previous battles, because he always believed that the best artillery would always be at the forefront. Kong Youde's Second Artillery Battalion, on the other hand, habitually fell at the end of the line, waiting for the thieves to be found, and then looking for an opportunity to shoot.

Five miles away, the 3,000-strong procession moved forward in a horizontal formation, without the slightest noise, and the silence was unbelievable, until Heisenberg, who had climbed the dirt slope first, let out an exclamation.

"General, come and see..."

After Li Xin heard this, he took two steps and three steps, climbed the soil slope, and suddenly felt a sudden situation in front of him, and the wide field of vision was actually a wild Wuwuyang, all of whom were homeless. The nearest homeless people were only a few dozen steps away from them, and there were countless people who helped the old and the young, as well as the able-bodied men. In the meantime, lying or squatting, his eyes were dull and dazed, and a wave of sadness and despair spread......

After staying for a long time, Li Xinhui came to his senses and shouted loudly: "The Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, the deputy general of the conquest is here, everyone hears clearly, and those who obey the people are on the left..."

Li Xin's words were almost subconsciously shouted, and after the words came out, the soldiers behind him also suddenly woke up, and shouted in unison: "The obedient one is on the left... The obedient one is on the left..."

At the same time, Niu Jinsong's commander had already counted all the phalanx soldiers who had come uphill, raising their arquebuses in their hands, ready to shoot at any time.

The obedient person left side, repeatedly wandering in the sky, and everyone actually pinched a cold sweat faintly. Li Xin grunted his throat, and soon he noticed that a man who was only twenty paces away from him had ripped off his tattered short clothes, revealing his black and thin left arm.

"I'm a Shunmin..."

As the man exposed his left arm, some people nearby tore off their short clothes and showed their left arms, and shouted one after another: "I am obedient to the people, obedient to the people......" So, like a plague, the left and the people spread at an incredible speed, including women and children, all of them showed their white breasts, and when they looked at the wilderness, they were all displaced people on the left side.

Shunmin... Shunmin... The sound also pierced the sky.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the homeless people, the north gate of Dangshan County opened, and a group of sturdy men in the same rags rushed out, and there were a few men dressed in colorful clothes, and it was clear at a glance that they must be wearing women's clothes.

The appearance of this group of sturdy men immediately caused chaos like wolves into the flock. Li Xin looked at it, and saw that these people were all fierce and vicious, carrying steel knives, and they actually cut people when they saw them......
