"Lord!" Chen Menglei's face looked very bad, "Nowadays, there are a lot ......of Liaodong locks, which will see the decline of the Qing court, and they are all called the 'righteous army', but among them, there are two strongest forces, one is from the green forest bandits, the bandit leader is a big pole, nicknamed 'Yizhihua';

"Stop, stop, stop—" Lin Feng rolled his eyes, "What big pole?" Still 'a flower'?! Could it be that the bandit leader is actually a woman? ……”

"Dashuai Mingjian," Chen Menglei said with a wry smile, "Ma Da pole is not a woman, according to the detailed report, this person was born into a family of bandits, being a robber is an ancestral business, as for this nickname, there is also a reason, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this person was brought out by his father at the age of fourteen to run the rivers and lakes, because of his white face and thin skin was made fun of, this person immediately crossed the horse to take the bow, and shot arrows with beads, and shot an arrow on the top of the person's head, left and right shoulders, two ribs, and crotch, and embedded a flower shape on the wall behind it, so he became famous, and people gave him the nickname ' A sprig of flowers'!! ”

"Oh?! So dragging?! Lin Feng was a little interested, listening to Chen Menglei say this, this person can really be regarded as a hero in the martial arts world, "Is there anything else?" How did he become the leader of the rebels?! ”

"Hehe, this is also a heroic situation, if it is in the Taiping Festival, Ma Da pole is at most in the deep mountains and old forests as a robber head, but at this time the world is in chaos, when the Liaodong Righteous Army rose, he led people out of the forest to kill, first robbed a Qing army's horse farm, and then repeatedly attacked the Qing court's local post stations and baggage convoys, because he is very famous on the ground in Liaodong, so after playing the banner, the poles rushed to join forces, and finally really pulled up a team for him." Chen Menglei explained in detail that it could be seen that his intelligence agency did not hibernate this winter.

"And the team of the Cao brothers is indeed a real 'official forced rebellion' - these three brothers were originally tenants of the ancestral family, and they also cultivated a few acres of dry land on weekdays, and went up the mountain to hunt wild animals and chop wood to subsidize the use of subsidies in their spare time, the life was extremely hard, the eldest was in his thirties and had not been able to marry a wife, after the three feudatories raised troops, the Qing court searched for the remnants of the three feudatories in Liaodong, and the ancestral family was copied after the Wu family, and the brothers were also taken tenants, which was not enough to rebel, but then the Manchu Fengtian general Dakma made a faint move, After raiding the house, he also ordered the arrest of these tenants and distributed them to the armored people as slaves, and the three brothers were desperate, so they had to invite the township party to rebel," Chen Menglei said with a smile, "The later things can be known without asking, the spark of the stars burned the prairie in an instant, and after the army was raised, the Quartet came to vote, and the Qing army was pressed step by step by our Han army, and there was a harassment of the savages of the Rakshasa country. ”

"Oh? …… Right? Lin Feng shook his head suspiciously, and looked at Chen Menglei with scrutinizing eyes, "Could it be that there are no old troops of the three feudatories among these rebels?!" ”

"Of course there are still some of them, but this is not the 'old department'" Chen Menglei glanced at Lin Feng, then lowered his head, and cautiously retorted, "After Wu Sangui and others made their careers, the generals and soldiers who originally followed closely followed him all went to the south with him - the marshal Mingjian, the north was bitter cold, and the people's livelihood was difficult, and then after the Shunzhi Dynasty, many distant relatives moved south to the old place, and now most of the people who stay in the north are not very close to the Wu army. There are very few people who really follow them to fight in the army, and they can have something to do with the three feudatories, it is really rare!! ”

"Damn!!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then scolded angrily, his heart was shaken by Wang Shirong's kid again, and before he could ask in detail, Chen Menglei said again, "But now playing the banner of Wu Sangui to appease you has some effect!" ——The lord can know that in the Qing Dynasty, Liaodong came out of four opposite-sex vassal kings, and its glory and wealth are all over the world, and at this moment Wu Sangui is the emperor of his own dynasty, so the people of Liaodong envy, glory, and yearning for it, so this time our army went to contact in the name of Da Zhou, and Ma Da Pole and Cao's three heroes are also a little moved! ”

"That's a play, right? - But I don't think your face is quite right! Lin Feng was a little relaxed in his heart, and said with a casual smile, although he was kind at the moment, but in fact, he looked at this matter very tightly in his heart, and Lin Feng, the righteous army in Liaodong, could be regarded as an investment in this winter, in order to win over these colleagues who rebelled against the Qing court, in the coldest time, Wang Dahai alone allocated 16,000 stones of grain, 500 carts of horse material from Shanhaiguan, and a lot of charcoal fuel, and in addition to these clear accounts, secretly Chen Menglei's spy organization was even more eastward, and the spies of the Han army jumped up and down in Liaodong, It's just that I will give money when I see people, and I will send batch after batch of silver for nothing, if I can't recover the investment this time, it will really be a loss to my grandmother's family.

"Lord......" Chen Menglei's face changed, and suddenly his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground, "I am incompetent...... The lowly duty was folded this time...... Also...... also smashed the errand...... "He kowtowed more than once," he humbled and kowtowed, "this is the ...... He is here to plead with the Lord for his sins......"

Lin Feng was taken aback by him, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly stood up from the chair, hugged Chen Menglei and said, "What are you doing here?!" You're my old courtier, we've been working hard together since we started, what's worth it?! He forcibly pulled Chen Menglei up, patted the dust on his body casually, and said with a relaxed smile, "Isn't it just that you refuse to accept recruitment?" What's the big deal, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will run over with a cannon and make these grandsons look good!! ”

"The lord is magnificent, and the dream thunder is ashamed!" Chen Menglei said gratefully, "But it's not that they don't want to recruit An!" ……”

Lin Feng was stunned.

"What do they mean by that 'listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement'!" Seeing that Lin Feng was puzzled, Chen Menglei smiled bitterly and explained, "It is to accept the appeasement of our big man, accept our command, and use the banner of our big man instead-but, we can't meddle in their own internal affairs, and their officer promotion, appointment and dismissal are all up to them, and we can't send people to them, and Ma Da Pole and the three brothers of the Cao family will not leave the team to come to Beijing and Jin to see them after being appeased, in addition, they also ask us to give us military salaries, clothing, grain and grass, and all the baggage with the battalion, And they also want to ask the lord to send them some muskets and cannons......"

"Bastard!! ......" Lin Feng was furious, and immediately slapped the table, his heart was full of fire, and he couldn't help but go back and forth in the hall, it was really fucking the other way around, Lao Tzu came to this world and was bullied, these bastards actually dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head and beg for money on Lao Tzu.

Chen Menglei couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Lin Feng lingered for a long time, then suddenly pointed at Chen Menglei and said, "If I agree, what can they do for us?" - If Lao Tzu doesn't do it, what will they do?! ”

"If the lord agrees, they promise to replace our Han to defend Liaodong, and they may as well come over with a soldier of the Qing army......"

"it!!" Lin Feng scoffed, "How many birdmen does the Qing court have in Liaodong?" I'm still afraid of them coming? Ben Shuai is still going to look for them! ”

"If the lord doesn't agree, they ...... They...... Ma Da Pole threatened to pull a team at Shanhaiguan ......"

"Fart...... Lao Tzu is scared?! - He thought Lao Tzu's cannon was ......" Lin Feng scolded angrily, and suddenly a spirit suddenly hit in his heart, and suddenly he stopped as if he had been smashed with a brick, he slowly turned around, looked at Chen Menglei in a daze, and said astringently, "What does he mean...... What he meant was ......"

Chen Menglei's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and even his voice was a lot rougher at this moment, "Not bad...... Lord, they are fighting our idea, our outcasts......"

Lin Feng was terrified, the most feared and feared danger in his heart was finally imminent.

I thought that those dirt buns outside the gate were very easy to deal with, and no matter how I played, I would not be able to pick up a master from the 21st century, but now it seems that this is really a fatal negligence.

I should have thought about it a long time ago, how can there be so many stupid people in this world?!

“…… Ze Zhen, their purpose is ......" Lin Feng suddenly found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, "They want to establish themselves as kings outside the gate?!" …… And you want me to give money and food?! ”

Chen Menglei nodded gloomily, "Actually, the situation is good in winter, these bandits are uneven, and the leaders of each pole have their own opinions, but as soon as spring begins this year, the days are better, and these gang of thieves will have a hot head!"

"Alas...... Isn't the money we spent and the food we sent in winter wasted?! ......" The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but vent, "Fuck, I knew that Lao Tzu threw these things into the sea!" ”

"Not necessarily, my lord—on the contrary, our money is worth it," Chen Menglei looked pale but still calm, "If we don't pull them in winter, I'm afraid these people will have already run into the gate...... These locals are familiar with geography, and we only have one army on the Shanhaiguan side, how can we block it tightly? - If they had entered the customs at that time to incite the displaced people and take the opportunity to set up trouble in Gyeonggi, I am afraid that the disaster would have been even worse!! ”

"Alas......" Lin Feng snorted and asked blankly, "How many troops do these bastards have now?!" How's the strength?! ”

"Don't make a mistake! Now is not the time to go to war! Chen Menglei was shocked and hurriedly admonished, "Although this gang of bandits is uneven, its strength cannot be underestimated: Ma Da Pole's gang are all elite cavalry, with a strength of about 6,000 people, and most of their troops are old bandits, strong bows and crossbows come and go like the wind, and they are familiar with geography, they can fight, escape, disperse and gather, this is not an enemy that can be fought in a war; The Cao brothers are mixed with infantry and cavalry, with a strength of about 11,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry, and the others are foot soldiers, but this enemy is all locals, and the people of Liaodong are connected by blood. ”

"They are not an army, at most they are a gang of horse thieves, if there is really a war, they can't beat me!" Lin Feng shook his head, "But it seems that it really can't be solved by force right now...... But these bastards are really hateful, and they dare to threaten Ben Shuai with homeless people!! ”

"This ......" Chen Menglei was silent for a long time, and finally held back a cliché, "Lord, as the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" I hope my lord thinks twice!! ”

"I understand, then shock!" Lin Feng nodded heavily, looking at Chen Menglei's gloomy expression, he sighed in his heart, it seems that Chen Menglei may not be suitable for presiding over this kind of work, maybe it will be better for him to develop in terms of propaganda and brainwashing.

"Ben Shuai thinks that if this matter is to be solved, it has to start with Ma Da Pole!" Lin Feng pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "The Cao family brothers are grassroots households, and they can't accumulate any capital in just a few months, so they shouldn't have any ambitions, I expect that this Cao family brothers are the local people who represent Liaodong, because they have been repeatedly oppressed by the government, so they can't believe our Han government, but at the same time, they don't have the courage to fight against the official family forever, and now they must have made up their minds, if they can delay for a while, they can fight for some benefits, and they can fight for some benefits!" ”

"Perhaps...... Dashuai Mingjian!! Chen Menglei nodded, "Let's send someone over to contact us during this time, the Cao family brothers don't seem to have any opinions, most of the conditions that the suitability and lowly position said are mentioned by Ma Da Pole, and they echo it when they hear the rumors, in short, they put on a look of looking at Ma Da Pole and Ma Qiang, and they don't want to come forward!" ”

"So you've got to analyze - why are they doing this?!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "Because they still don't plan to rebel to the end, because Ma Da Pole is a well-known robber, so they are really a little afraid of him!" - Don't look at the Cao family brothers, it seems that they are stronger, but Ben Shuai estimates that they can't beat Ma Da Pole! ”

"Oh?!! That...... According to the lord's opinion, will the Cao brothers be swallowed up by Ma Da Pole?! Chen Menglei was taken aback, and then asked tentatively.

"Alas...... I said Zezhen, we are engaged in politics, don't be too angry, and don't be dead-eyed! Lin Feng looked at Chen Menglei, who was full of doubts, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Afraid of him and being controlled by him are two different things - the people of Liaodong behind the Cao family brothers are afraid that Ma Da Pole will wreak havoc on one side, so they swallow their anger, but if Ma Da Pole really dares to be too presumptuous, then the Cao family brothers will definitely not be polite to him, this is a boundary problem, if this boundary is not crossed, the Cao family brothers will give him face for the sake of local peace, if this boundary is exceeded, it can only be an ending of fish dying and breaking the net!" ”

Chen Menglei suddenly realized, and solemnly bowed and said, "The lord is a great talent, Menglei has been taught!" ”

"Hehe, don't come to this set, it's just human nature, this is a fart 'talent'?!" Lin Feng laughed self-deprecatingly, "So Ben Shuai thinks that if Ma Da Pole can be solved, then the Cao family brothers should not have the courage to incite millions of people to burn and loot in his hometown, so the focus of this problem is on that gang of robbers!" ”

"Oh?! ......" Chen Menglei looked a little surprised, he frowned, and retorted cautiously, "The lord seems to be too careless about the Cao family brothers, and his subordinates think that this fang seems to be ordinary, but it doesn't have the ambition of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?!" ”

"Different, different! This specific problem must be analyzed in detail, and we must not engage in dogmatism! Lin Feng said casually, seeing that Chen Menglei was dumbfounded, he waved his hand embarrassedly, ignoring his doubts, and continued, "If Li Zicheng had been tossing in Mizhi County back then, and had not wandered around the world, then he would not have the day when he became the king of the Chuang Dynasty - this peasant rebellion is generally really untenable, to be honest, their wishes and requirements are very low, I said Zezhen, don't always pull everything to the heroes, think about it, the Qing army basically has no chance in Liaodong at the moment, The yamen also fell, and even the landlords who collected rent were beheaded all over the house, and the Cao brothers suddenly said to the villagers: Come with me to fight the world, seek wealth and danger, and look for the marquis for thousands of miles - do you say that these peasants are willing to go home to live a small life or are they willing to go out and work hard?! ”

Chen Menglei's thoughts were a little confused, he was stunned for a while, and then said with a wry smile, "That'...... What about the big pole?! ”

"Ma Da Pole is a hero!!" Lin Feng said categorically, seeing Chen Menglei's disapproving look, Lin Feng patiently explained, "Don't look down on other people's backgrounds, then again, although he was born in the green forest, his life depends on mixing rice with a saber - the situation is different, in the past, the saber could only be mixed with silver, but now the saber can change the king and wait, and it is even possible to change to an emperor's throne, why don't you say he won't fight?!" ”

It seems that these words have a very subversive effect on Chen Menglei, so that his brain has been hollowed out for a long time, and he has eaten for a long time, "...... So, he's really ......."

"Heroes, of course! The heroes are competing for the deer.,There is no qualification limit for this game.,The heroes of the green forest are also professional soldiers.,I'm also a professional soldier now.,Both of us have territory and an army.,What do you say is the difference between me and him?! Lin Feng smiled indifferently, "As you said at the beginning, this kid is playing tricks with Lao Tzu, putting forward all kinds of conditions to ask for money and food, and taking the opportunity to expand the army, and also threatening me with homeless people, these things are political means!" ”

"That ......" Seeing Lin Feng escalating his opponent, Chen Menglei's face became even more ugly, because no matter what, the appearance of this situation was also the result of his ineffective handling in the final analysis, and he said with sincere fear, "How is the lord going to take care of this fang?!" ”

"Since you're a hero, you can't help but meet for a while, right?!" Lin Feng tried his best to relax his mind, patted Chen Menglei on the shoulder and teased, "In this world, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp, this handsome has to let him understand a little, right?" Don't count on emperors, vassal kings, and the like, but there is still hope for dukes, marquises, etc., of course, it depends on how much this kid's eyesight is! ”

Chen Menglei was almost a little unable to stand, and he said tremblingly, "The lord plans to meet with him?!" Your safety is at stake...... Is this too risky?! ”

"It's worth it, it's worth it, life is originally a business, you settle the account," Lin Feng raised his fingers, "There are 6,000 elite cavalry on the Ma Da pole, and 5,000 on the Cao family brothers—there are 10,000 iron cavalry on both sides, so you can't fight hard for such a big business?!" ”

“……”

"So be it - I said Zezhen, don't you boss that dead face, can't you take it easy?!" Lin Feng smiled and said, "Send someone over to pass a word to that kid, this handsome asked him to have a glass of wine in the Twenty Pavilion outside Shanhaiguan, if he has a kind, he will come over and meet - forget it if he doesn't have a seed!" ”
