Li Kecheng wore a five-grade official robe, and went to the city without being angry.

At this time, the cavalry led by Min Yuan had already rushed out several miles away, the weather was dry and dry, and the dust in the sky had not dispersed until now.

Li Kecheng glanced outside the city, and there was no lack of happiness in his heart.

Li Kecheng never knew that Min Yuan was in the city with the cavalry.

In the past two days, the city was originally fluctuating, and many old subordinates, including several hundred households who had been dismissed, secretly came to the door.

The implication of everyone's words is that this disaster was recruited by Min Yuanqi, and Yanchi is jealous, such a treasure is not something that a young general like the Min family can eat.

If he can climb Liu Zeqing's thigh and help him crusade against the guest soldiers at a critical moment, Liu Zeqing always needs the assistance of the local military attache to dig the salt pond here.

Li Kecheng may be a higher level of official position and can better obtain the benefits of the salt pond.

I have to say that the rhetoric of these people also made Li Kecheng quite tempted, and even when he gathered all the Neiding, he didn't have the idea of trying it at first.

But this kind of thinking and intention was completely dispelled before Ding Ruqi was sunk in the pond.

A group of people, including Zhao Shilu, disappeared before Ding Ruqi was killed. Xiang Wu continued to agitate at Li Kecheng's residence, and after eating Xiang Dinner, it was not until the evening that the family members of these families searched everywhere, and Li Kecheng knew that this group of people was all gone.

He panicked at this time, but he was still barely calm, and he still had some luck thoughts in his heart.

When Ding Ruqi and others continue to disappear, Li Kecheng can be sure that this thousand households also have a big net that he can't see.

He must be in the mesh now, the fattest big fish.

As long as you change from thinking about it to real action, I'm afraid that people will close the net immediately!

What a terrible thing this was, it made him lose his soul, and when he first remembered it, Li Kecheng's hair stood on end in fright.

After that meeting, Li Kecheng completely put away a little bit of subtle thoughts.

In the past few months, Min Yuanqi has not only affected thousands of households in the city and hundreds of households, which family and hundreds of households have no children in the barracks, or have not worked in salt ponds, workshops, and construction sites?

Everyone is closely related to Min Yuanqi, and the person who seems to be the most unrelated on the surface may also be indirectly affected.

Hundreds of households, the general flag, and even the small flag have been changed.

There is also a garrison department in charge of the defense of hundreds of households and villages, and the personnel of these garrison divisions are stationed in the city, Tucheng, 100 households, and the key places of the official road in Xuntang, checking the people who come and go, etc., and investigating the lawless.

After Li Kecheng came to his senses, he resolutely suppressed the families of those missing people and warned them.

After all, he was once a dignified thousand-household, and he couldn't do it to Min Yuanqi and Min Qiande, and it was simply easy to subdue those family members who were originally in a thousand households, and there was no difficulty at all.

He also insisted on going to the city every day to boost the morale of the army and select strong men to cooperate with the work of the Garrison Department.

Even Min Qiande was quite satisfied with Li Kecheng at this time.

Now the city is full of construction personnel and strong men preparing for war, and the morale is still passable, after all, it is a person who has never experienced war before, but after seeing the cavalry gather out of the city, people have changed from the original feeling that they are going to fight, and their psychological state has become that they are about to fight. Under this change, there is some panic, and it is not surprising that there is a little resentment brought by panic, and it is not surprising that there are complaints in the mouth.

Li Kecheng glared at the person who spoke, and said angrily to everyone: "The tragic situation everywhere has also been reported to some extent, those guest soldiers are no different from beasts, don't you all know?" Those Huai'an people who were killed by them when they were collecting grain, what did they have to attract their red eyes, they also have salt ponds? When collecting grain, burning, killing and looting, the garrison usually steals chickens and dogs, kills people if they disobey the slightest, how many women are killed, you don't want to think about it, even if there is no salt pond, the guest soldiers who collect food will come sooner or later, when the time comes, do you stretch your neck and let them kill, or send your mother-in-law and daughter obediently? Don't talk about you, even my thousand households are nothing, there are really guest soldiers coming, and even I plan to live in Huai'an to avoid trouble! ”

Li Kecheng paused, and then continued: "Now that Lord Min is guarding our Cloud Ladder Pass, what a blessing is this?" We don't have to go to the battlefield to fight bloodily, there is Lord Min who took our good sons and daughters of Yunti Pass into battle, don't talk about the guest soldiers, in the future, the rogues will also rely on them, and now you complain that the guest soldiers are wolves recruited by Yanchi, what if the rogues come? There is no one to protect it, do you think that the guest soldiers will rob the salt pond, but what will happen when the rogues come? ”

In the end, Li Kecheng said that he was impassioned, although he was convincing everyone, he was actually persuading himself.

Li Kecheng is absolutely unwilling to flee with his family, although the Li family is not as good as the Min family, in the end, it is also a native of Yuntiguan, in fact, it is the same as the Jiangmen of Liaoxi, why do you want to protect Shanhaiguan outside, but also want to take back Ningyuan, push to the Daling River defense line, and recover Jinzhou, and even Guangning? Because that piece of land once belonged to them and their family, although they did not hesitate to kidnap the Ming Dynasty and sacrifice the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, but this is also the homeland and hometown, but the gate is like this, and the emperor and the ministers who made the decision are too stupid.

Too many interests are involved, too many selfish desires are calculated, so that the Ming not only did not recover the lost land, but further slipped into the abyss.

At this time, the country was ruined, and it was the battalion soldiers recruited by the Ming court to attack the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the general who presided over it was the general soldier of Shandong Town of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is the hero of King Qin's dragon, and he is the earl of the Earl, ranking among the super.

On the other hand, the guard is from a family of generals, from more than 100 households, more than 100 households, 1,000 deputy households, and now it is the governor of Nanjing's Chinese military governor's office, the guerrilla general of the lower barracks of Huaiyang Haiphong Road, and the garrison of Daming Yunti Pass.

There are serious officers and soldiers on both sides, but now they are fighting to the death, and when Li Kecheng shouted, he also felt stunned and strange in his heart.

The rogue who everyone was afraid of did not come, but the officers and soldiers killed each other first, and I really don't know where to start.

And as a result, the resentment towards Liu Zeqing has also increased a little.

Sent troops to loot the Quartet, and the remnants of the people took advantage of it, erected a big house in Huai'an, built a big house, and arrogantly arrogant and lawless.

These things have nothing to do with Yunti Pass, if Min Yuanqi takes the initiative to attack Shandong Town in this name, I am afraid that the voice of dissatisfaction here in Yunti Pass will be ten times or a hundred times louder.

After all, it is a strong army in a town, with an army of nearly 100,000, and one of the four towns recognized by the imperial court.

And take the initiative to attack, the guest soldiers are fierce and violent, it is easy to arouse people's hatred of the enemy, even so, there will still be a little complaint, but under Li Kecheng's reprimand, those who complain are also discouraged, and can only bow their heads and be busy, but they dare not continue to speak.

Li Kecheng snorted coldly, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu, this is to save your life, if you continue to talk about it, it will be regarded as shaking the morale of the army, and it is not wronged at all to engage in military law!

But Li Kecheng himself was also a little scared at this time.

The dispatch of the cavalry indicates that the reconnaissance and even contact of the outpost cavalry has begun, and the guest soldiers will arrive at Yunti Pass in a day or two at most, or at most two or three days.

Thinking of the terrible performance of the Shandong soldiers, if the war failed and the consequences and end, Li Kecheng's impassioned appearance just now was swept away.

He was afraid that people would see the clues, so he quickly lowered his head and looked at the appearance outside the city of Qianhu.

Even if Li Kecheng watched the city in the sky, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

The ditches deeper than three zhang were full of sharp piles, and from the city to the earth city and then to the south of the hundreds of households, like a dragon with a long mouth wide open and full of fangs, it was almost impossible to see the edge at a glance.

What a miracle and a great feat it is, it's hard to believe.

Li Kecheng boasted of himself very high before, but he was also a generation general, dignified and serious, and in private he also felt that the Min family was lucky with shit, and there was a Min Yuanqi, who was well equipped with civil and military skills, and was good at making money, but he couldn't catch up with it.

At this moment, when he saw the miraculous changes in front of him, Li Kecheng felt like he had been shocked, and his body trembled.

Although he did not know anything about words such as organizational ability, mobilization ability, and coordination ability, this did not affect Li Kecheng's understanding of the terrible aspects of these fortifications in front of him.

This is something that can only be done in a short period of time, with at least 5,000 people gathered and a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources mobilized. Coupled with the appointment of the previous military attache of Yunti Pass, and the use of strong men in military households, there is great righteousness, there is money and food temptation, and there is also a secret deterrent threat, all of which add up to create a miracle in front of us.

At this moment, even in the depths of Li Kecheng's heart, he faintly feels that the battle in front of him seems to be possible to win, and there is a great chance of victory?

……

"Why didn't he run away?"

In the Yamen of Haiphong Road in Taizhou, Zhou Liang was sweating profusely, although he was in the pavilion in the small garden behind the Yahou, he was still sweating and wearing heavy clothes.

Zhou Liangmin's face was full of bitterness, shook the letter in his hand, and said: "Min Yuanqi did not ask the eldest brother to discuss with Liu Zeqing in the letter, but said that after this battle, he hoped to fight for him in the court. But if he can win a big victory in this battle, it is enough to prove that his value to the court is not small, he does not expect the court to find justice for him, but hopes that the court can make some gestures on the surface, at least not after the war, in order to curry favor with Liu Zeqing, and deprive him of his official position and deprive him of his identity in Yuntiguan. This person also said bluntly, if this is the case, he will accept Li Chuang's official position and part ways with Daming. ”

Zhou Lianggong was also very angry when he heard it at first, and shouted angrily: "The shaft really dares to say this, how can it be reasonable, it is a big rebellion, it is a loss that he is still a goalkeeper, and he is from a family of guards!" ”

"Big brother......" Zhou Liangmin smiled bitterly: "If things are really like what people say, the court will not uphold justice, if he wins, the court will declare that he is rebellious, strip him of his official position, and mess with the local people's hearts, but he is undefeated and defeated, in this case, how can he be convinced, how can he continue to preside over the local military and politics?" Only by investing in the new pseudo-Shun, there is also a foundation to establish an empire and a country, and there is no chance to dominate the world, in this way, it can be regarded as continuing to have a nominal rule over the place, and there are many local heroes who have been falsely appointed by Shandong. If I really want to come to such a step, it is not only a loss for my two brothers, but also a great loss for the imperial court. Min Yuanqi said, don't come to the point where the relatives are painful and the enemies are happy! ”
