To everyone's surprise, even Liang Xi didn't expect that this time Li Qing would be so calm and indifferent when facing Han Jiangxue.

There was no situation imagined in advance, Li Qing's attitude towards Han Jiangxue was the same as that of a normal monarch to the wife of a prince, he did not ignore it but never had any special treatment alone, and when he looked at it when necessary, he also had an extremely normal look, as if he had let go of everything, and he really didn't think about anything else, but he just regarded Han Jiangxue as the most ordinary Princess Mo.

Not only has his attitude towards Han Jiangxue changed greatly, but even for Mo Li, Li Qing is like a different person.

There is no previous-for-tat, whether it is sincere or false, but there is a smile of encouragement and approval on his face, and he even took the initiative to express his gratitude to Mo Li for raising military rations out of his own pocket, as well as the court's affirmation and praise for Mo Wangfu's loyalty to the country.

For a while, Li Qing seemed to have never had any dispute with Mo, and the unprecedented harmony was really completely unexpected.

As for Han Jiangxue's expedition with the army, Li Qing did not express any opinions or different voices, and even did not mention it at all, as if Mo Li's arrangement was extremely normal.

After the symbolic speech of the three armies, drinking water and wine, wishing the victory of the soldiers and horses brought by Mo Li this time, Li Qing did not delay any longer, stood on the high city wall, and watched the Qing army go out of the city and gradually move away.

In this purge, the total number of soldiers and horses led by Mo Li was only 10,000, of course. This is not to say that 10,000 men is the total number of all the purging armies. There were already different numbers of garrisons in the riots in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, and every time they arrived at a place, the local garrisons would naturally be included in the army led by Mo Li. At the same time, all local armed forces that can be mobilized can also be temporarily redeployed.

In a sense, Moli's expedition was a process of constant change with the situation of the war, and it was an extremely long process. Unless the Holy Will recalls, otherwise, generally speaking, it is necessary to deal with the chaotic army that affects the vast majority of places in the entire Eastern Ming Dynasty, and this battle of purging can be regarded as the end of the imperial court's significance.

Of course. These are all afterwords, at least for Mo Li, it is impossible to really tie himself to that position.

And the first destination of the army led by Mo Li was not elsewhere. It is the most powerful place of the Dongming Rebellion Army today - Muzhou!

Today, almost half of the counties and towns in Muzhou have been controlled by the rebel army, and the power of the rebel army has become the head of the rebel army in the entire Eastern Ming Dynasty. The results are minimal. At most, it will force those rebel armies to stop on their original territory.

Recently, the rebel army has a tendency to take advantage of the situation to expand, so the first battle to clear the army is, of course, aimed at Muzhou. Whether it is from the macro needs of war or the needs of deterrence, such a decision is inevitable.

However, compared with those generals and staff officers in the army, the reason why Moli chose Muzhou as his first stop was more important. The rebel army in Muzhou is almost an out-and-out bandit, smashing, looting, burning, and oppressing the people. is the evil side, and I don't know how many ordinary people who are already in dire straits.

Therefore, even if Muzhou, the largest and strongest rebel army, is absolutely impossible for Mo Li to secretly absorb it, but will directly borrow the hands of the army to eliminate this scourge of bandits who are on the evil side.

Anyway, he, the coach, still has to make some contributions, otherwise how can he convince the public? As for how to deal with the rebellious armies in other places after taking Muzhou, Mo Li already had the clearest ideas and arrangements.

This trip, he must have gained a lot, I hope that by that time, Li Qingmo, who had planned to set up such a pit to make him jump, would regret it too much!

Along the way, Han Jiangxue had also figured out the calculations in Mo Li, and with some information related to the Muzhou rebellion that she had found out from Mo Li's mouth in advance, she also thought about it from time to time to see if she could play a little role in the battle, so that some people always felt as if she had eaten and drunk someone's things for nothing.

Han Jiangxue knew best in her heart that several major generals in the army had great opinions about her, the princess who went out with the army, although she didn't dare to say anything in front of Mo Li, but the disdain for her in her heart was very obvious.

In the eyes of these so-called big men, a woman like her, even if she is a princess, is just a burden that does not play any role in the army, and it has greatly affected military regulations and discipline, and caused a lot of trouble to the morale of the army.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Qing didn't have the slightest objection this time, these generals would have already accused Mo Li of taking her with the army.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fight, Han Jiangxue made up her mind, this time she must let those so-called powerful men who look down on women from the bottom of their hearts see how ridiculous and ridiculous their so-called discrimination is.

The army numbered a lot, but it did not affect the speed of the march, half a month later, the army was cleared and cleared by the Zhongzheng, all the way unobstructed, and it had entered the border of Muzhou.

The leader of the Muzhou rebellion is surnamed Jiang, known as Jiang Hezi, who was originally the biggest bandit here, taking advantage of the chaos in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, he directly annexed the bandit dens in more than a dozen places in the vicinity, and then forcibly robbed a lot of people to join, and set up his own team in the same way.

This group of people is already rampant, and Jiang Haozi has a former down-and-out Xiucai beside him as a military advisor, and with their viciousness and lifeless momentum, they not only gradually stabilized their power, but also invaded a small half of Muzhou as their own territory in one fell swoop, not only robbing the territory that has now been controlled by him, but also sending troops to attack other places in Muzhou from time to time after a large number of garrisons in the imperial court came to suppress it.

This person's reputation in Muzhou has been extremely stinky, but in the troubled times, there are not too many people who have the energy to care about the lives and deaths of the people.

Even if it is an army that has been stationed in Muzhou for a long time, it is just an order from the imperial court, and there are really few people who really think about the people.

This point, Han Jiangxue has always felt that Mo Li's mind is praised by her, although Mo Li has never said anything, and he can't take care of every innocent person, but from the bottom of his heart, from the point of view of kindness and righteousness, Mo Li values ordinary people not just to win a good name, but an instinct from the heart.

After the army entered the Muzhou border, it did not stop, but went directly to Qingyang, where the imperial court is now garrisoned.

The eldest leader of the Qingyang garrison is surnamed He, an ordinary deputy general at the age of forty, who has led 2,000 soldiers and horses and has been stationed in Qingyang for more than half a year.

In the past six months, Vice General He has not had any merits that can be put on the table, on the contrary, he also let the rebellious army led by Jiang Haozi expand from 1,000 to the current 3,000 or 4,000 people, which is more than double the number of garrisons in the imperial court.

If it weren't for the fact that the vast majority of those people had not received any special training, their combat effectiveness had been greatly weakened a lot, otherwise, it would have been possible to be directly killed by Wang Haozi!

When he was about to arrive at the Qingyang station, Mo Li ordered the army to stop.

There are a large number of them, even if the Qingyang garrison has already received the news in advance, the original military camp cannot accommodate so many people at once.

After receiving the reward before, although Vice General He had already selected a place on the edge of the original military camp as a place for the army to camp, Mo Li thought that that place was not suitable for the large-scale resettlement of such a large number of people.

Therefore, after discussing with other generals in the army, Mo Li ordered him to re-select a suitable place to live and rest and recuperate, and he took a few generals and dozens of Ping Pong Tan to the Qingyang garrison barracks to learn about the specific situation here.

Han Jiangxue naturally went with him, and at this point, although the generals who followed had some objections in their hearts and their faces were not very good-looking, they were afraid of Mo Li, but no one said anything.

The group set off lightly and soon arrived at the garrison barracks.

Hearing that Mo Li had already led people to the gate of the barracks, Vice General He received the report and hurriedly took people to meet him outside the barracks.

"The last general, He Erhu, see King Mo!" As soon as Vice General He came out of the camp, he knelt down on one knee and bowed, and while saluting, he directly said the reason why he did not come to greet him very early: "Lord Qiqi, the last general happened to arrest a few more important personnel on the side of the chaotic army today, and he is personally trying them, hoping to get some valuable information, so I don't know that the prince has arrived, and I ask the prince to forgive me if I am waiting for you!" ”

"No need to be polite, get up!" Mo Li didn't say much, raised his hand and threw out a few words, signaling He Erhu and the other soldiers to get up.

When everyone saw this, they got up together.

"Please enter the camp!" Vice General He quickly made a gesture of please, and only then did he see Han Jiangxue in a fluttering white dress beside Mo Li, and his expression couldn't help but change for a while.

"Lord Wang, please be a little, please forgive the last general's courage, the princess cannot be merged into the military camp with the prince!"

Vice General He stopped everyone immediately, and he didn't know if it was because he was born with a relatively simple brain or for some other reason, so he didn't even think about it, and directly did not allow Han Jiangxue to step into the barracks in public.

"Why?" Mo Li looked at Han Jiangxue, who frowned slightly on the side, and then asked Vice General He: "Since you know that she is the princess of this king, you naturally also know that the emperor has approved her to go on the expedition with the army this time, what qualifications do you have to stop her from entering the barracks?"
