Lang Tingzuo welcomed Kaqam into the lobby and said, "Now, even I, the standard camp of the governor, have been transferred to Tongzhou. It is also necessary to be transported by the Caoyun Yamen at any time and transferred to maintain the Caoyun. Now there are 5,000 city defense soldiers left in Jiangning City, and there are 5,000 soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners under the general. ”

Titicamu said: "Although I have 5,000 people here, there are also 2,000 people, and they are stationed in Zhenjiang with Shi Huashan, the general of Jinghai. Now there are only 3,000 people in Jiangnan, otherwise I will transfer 1,000 people to you, and let Wu Xiaoli, the deputy commander, lead them to Anqing. I think it's just a group of chaotic people, even if they are bandits who occupy the mountains and are kings, they can't withstand these thousand and eight banner soldiers. ”

Lang Tingzuo said: "This is okay, but 1,000 people are enough, just in case, I will let the guerrilla Liu Guoyu take 2,000 green battalions with him." After the two of them made this arrangement, they put this matter down. Tikkam said: "I said that you are also the governor of Liangjiang, why don't you have any soldiers now." ”

Lang Tingzuo smiled bitterly: "Who can blame this? The pirates made a fuss last year, and now the imperial court attaches great importance to coastal defense. We also have to garrison troops to defend, and we also have to send troops to maintain the imperial court's relocation and forbidden sea. Ke Kui and Zhao Guozuo in Zhejiang, Da Su and Ma Degong in Fujian. I was asked to send troops several times to help them exterminate the pirates. As far as our Jiangning troops are concerned, there are still enough points. ”

Tikkam said: "I think it is better to transfer a group of troops back to Jiangning first, otherwise once there is a change in Jiangning, the entire Jiangnan will not be guaranteed." The army is in Jiangning, even if there is something else going on, troops can also be transferred from Jiangning to quell the rebellion. I think you should transfer the standard camp in Tongzhou back first, at least it won't make Jiangning too empty. ”

Lang Tingzuo said: "It's okay, just listen to General Kaqam's advice, and I'll let them return to Jiangning first." Suppress the untouchables who are in rebellion. Kakhamu said: "Okay, I'll go first, I thought it was a big deal, but as soon as I heard that it was the Ming army that made a rebellion, I was not sure in my heart." Last year, the pirates almost lost Jiangning. Fortunately, there are only a few untouchables who are making trouble, so there is no need to make a fuss. ”

Lang Tingzuo said: "Anyway, thank you to the general for sending troops to quell the rebellion, and invite the general to come to the mansion at night." Let's set up a table of banquets and thank the general. ”

Kakhamu said: "Forget it, you and I are officials through the dynasty and pastor the place for the emperor." It is always safe and stable, and it is also my duty to send troops to quell the rebellion. At this critical moment, it is all the more important for us to work together to get through it. When these thieves have been pacified, it is not too late to celebrate. ”

Lang Tingzuo hurriedly agreed, got up and sent Kaqam out of the governor's palace. Then let someone go and inform Liu Guoyu and ask him to immediately order the generals. Together with Wu Xiaoli, he took it to Taiping Mansion to Anqing to quell the rebellion.

When Liu Guoyu heard that he was accompanying the Eight Banners to Anqing, he was immediately a little unhappy. After waiting for the messenger to leave, Liu Guoyu said: "It sounds good, is this following the Eight Banners to quell the rebellion?" His grandmother's just let us go as free coolies and carry things with them. When people go on business trips, they all go to the local place to be the master, how did they get to Lao Tzu, they became a grandson. ”

Liu Guoyu's personal soldier said: "General, do you want us to push it directly." Those Eight Banners soldiers have always looked down on us Green Battalion soldiers, so they went out and weren't called by them like the people they are now. Liu Guoyu said: "You think I want to go, but it was ordered by Governor Lang Tingzuo himself, who do you want to go now?" I don't know if I went out with these Eight Banners Masters, I was going to be a person. ”

At this time, one of Liu Guoyu's 100 households said: "General, in the morning, I saw a lot of refugees entering the city on the street, maybe it was really to quell the rebellion?" Besides, now that the Governor's order has been given, now is not the time to make peace. What's more, this order came in such a hurry, even if you want to change it, you can't change it. ”

Liu Guoyu said: "Bullshit, do you need them to go to counterinsurgency?" Anqing is just a group of chaotic people, what kind of combat power do they have, you can see what kind of people are coming. The people who enter the city are rich people, so they are so afraid of death. If the army really came, they wouldn't have run. No matter what army fights, it is to win over these gentry. It must be some ordinary people making trouble, or the mountain bandits are coming, and they can be wiped out by sending a few soldiers at will. actually let us go too, or follow the 1,000 Eight Banners. ”

The hundred households also felt that what Liu Guoyu said was reasonable, and said: "What the Lord said is right, but we can't do anything now, we must carry out the orders of the Governor." Who told us that we are just Han Chinese, not the Eight Banners! ”

Listening to the words of these hundred households, Liu Guoyu looked at the official document in his hand again, and sighed: "Damn, what kind of world is this!" Of course, Liu Guoyu didn't dare not go directly, so he had to ask people to gather the army, and then go out of the Shuangqiao Gate. Liu Guoyu was outside the city gate with his army, and after waiting for a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves. I saw a thousand Manchuria and eight flags, and the mighty ones also came out of the Shuangqiao Gate.

The general of the Eight Banners was Wu Xiaoli, the deputy commander, who ran all the way with the Eight Banners. passed in front of Liu Guoyu's army, and without even saying hello, he galloped directly in the direction of Jiangning Town. A large number of horses ran, and suddenly the dust on the ground flew, and Liu Guoyu and others, who were waiting on the side, were choked and coughed constantly.

Seeing that the Eight Banners were so arrogant, it was no better than giving them these green battalions. Everyone was furious, Liu Guoyu's face suddenly changed, and the Eight Banners looked down on people too much.

Just when Liu Guoyu wanted to get angry, another person returned to the Eight Banners team who had already run over. This person ran to Liu Guoyu and said, "Liu Guoyu, Wu Dutong said, let you go directly to Jiangning Town to gather." Your march is too slow, we can't wait for you, let's go to Jiangning Town to wait for you first. After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Guoyu to agree, and ran away directly after hitting the horse again.

Looking at the dusty Manchurian Eight Banners running in front, Liu Guoyu's troops suddenly scolded. But Liu Guoyu didn't dare to complain at this time, if he couldn't rush to Jiangning Town as soon as possible, Wu Xiaoli would cut him Liu Guoyu under the pretext of that time, and no one would dare to shout an injustice to him. At that moment, Liu Guoyu had no choice but to let the army set off immediately and rush to Jiangning Town with all his might. Liu Guoyu took the army and hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Jiangning Town.

As a result, as soon as Liu Guoyu entered the town with the army, Wu Xiaoli sent someone to find Liu Guoyu again, saying, "Lord Liu, why did you come here for so long." We've all said it, so let's hurry up and find something good to eat and drink. In order to wait for you, our soldiers of the Eight Banners are waiting until they are hungry. ”

Liu Guoyu was furious and said, "What did you say? Do you really think of us as fire-burning guys? The Eight Banners sneered: "Let you be a man, that is to treat you as human beings." Are you human? You Han people are just our full dogs, let you do whatever you want to do quickly, where did so many words come from. If you want to make us unhappy, even if you kill all of you, you won't dare to say a word when you go back. ”

The soldiers and soldiers next to Liu Guoyu were furious when they heard this. Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Liu Guoyu hurriedly said: "Don't deceive people too much, how can we say that it is also the army of the Qing Dynasty, not his servant of Wu Xiaoli." ”

When the Eight Banners saw everyone, they all stared at themselves angrily, and they were still a little scared in their hearts. But seeing that Liu Guoyu was instigated by himself, he suddenly sneered and said: "Army, can you still fight like this?" It's only been twenty miles, and you're already tired like dogs, and you still want to fight? I think it's better for you to be dogs obediently, and when the master has something to eat, it's good to give you a bite left. ”

Liu Guoyu originally had the idea of calming things down, but now when he heard this, he looked at this Eight Banners soldier with anger in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to cut him directly. But thinking of his family, if he cuts down the person in front of him now. Not only Wu Xiaoli will not let go of himself, but when the time comes, Titicham will definitely not let go of himself. Moreover, the governors and governors in Jiangning City are all banner people, and they will definitely not help themselves.

Liu Guoyu had no choice but to hold back his anger and said fiercely to the army behind him: "Everyone, go to the town to find some food, remember to find some good wine and food for the soldiers of the Eight Banners." With Liu Guoyu's order, these green battalion soldiers, no matter how angry they were, had no choice but to obediently obey.

The Eight Banners soldier still said proudly: "This is like words, only an obedient dog is a good dog, and it can win the favor of the owner." After speaking, he went directly back to the Eight Banners Army.

These green battalion soldiers were sneered at by the Eight Banners, and they couldn't do anything about these Eight Banners. Immediately, all the anger was sprinkled on the people of Jiangning Town. Immediately, the whole town was full of chickens and dogs, and countless screams and cries rang out in the town. Wu Xiaoli saw it and said with a smile: "Han people, you have to beat them from time to time, otherwise they will forget their identity." ”

The other soldiers of the Eight Banners also stood up one after another to watch the excitement. Looking at the town where chickens fly and dogs jump, the Eight Banners soldiers smiled and pointed, talked and laughed, but no one felt the slightest guilt about what happened to the people in the town.

After Liu Guoyu's army grabbed enough things in the town, Liu Guoyu led his men and brought meals to the soldiers of the Eight Banners. Wu Xiaoli said: "Liu Guoyu, you did a good job this time. In the afternoon, let your army set off first, and we will rest for a while in Jiangning Town. You remember to rush to the front of the Dangtu and prepare the meal for us. ”

Although Liu Guoyu is unwilling, he does not dare to oppose it now. I had to agree: "General Wu can rest assured, he will definitely arrive in Dangtu in advance to prepare meals for the masters of the Eight Banners." Wu Xiaoli saw Liu Guoyu's acquaintance, and he was no longer embarrassed for him.

Then he said earnestly: "Okay, Liu Guoyu, you have to remember that our soldiers of the Eight Banners are here to protect you Han people." Otherwise, you are still being killed by Li Zicheng's thieves, and you are still being harmed by countless rebels and thieves. Since we are here to protect you, we deserve some reward. Okay, you go to dinner first, and then you go first. ”

Liu Guoyu hurriedly agreed and withdrew. After Liu Guoyu left the place of the Eight Banners Army, he suddenly said with a "bah": "Bastard bastard, scourge, it is you Tartars who are the scourge." Someday someone will clean you up and make you die a good death. ”

Liu Guoyu scolded and returned to the army, and under the service of the guards, he quickly ran out of food. When Liu Guoyu finished eating and was about to leave. A general flag ran over and said to Liu Guoyu: "My lord, why do I feel wrong?" ”

Liu Guoyu had been angry with Wu Xiaoli just now, and he had nowhere to send it. Immediately scolded: "You bastard, what do you know is wrong? We're people's dogs, what more do you want? Go and assemble the team, and go and prepare food for them first. Can you let them go first? When they run, we'll eat dirt in the back. Can you catch up with someone's four-legged man? ”

This general flag didn't know why he made Liu Guoyu unhappy, and he didn't dare to speak when he lowered his head when he was scolded. Seeing that Liu Guoyu had finished scolding, he was already shouting for people to gather the army and prepare to go.
