Thanks to the arrival of the Shandong guest soldiers, the guest soldiers are now notorious, robbing grain, money, setting up cards to loot, openly entering homes to loot, and even snatching women, beating and killing people, and there are more and more such things. These Shandong guest soldiers are actually Liu Zeqing's private soldiers, what kind of virtue is the main general, and what kind of military discipline is the subordinates. Moreover, after the middle of Chongzhen, the army's food and salary were basically not guaranteed, and the imperial court's income was reduced by the three salaries, and in addition to ensuring the operation of the Beijing camp and the imperial court, most of the military salaries were taken away by Guan Ningbing.

Shandong Town's military rations and salaries cannot be guaranteed at all, and the imperial court does not give it, so the generals have a reason to indulge in army looting, not only Shandong Town, but also the generals who crusaded against Liukou, Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong.

The reason why civilian officials cannot restrain military generals and general troops who cannot restrain battalion soldiers is that the finances are bankrupt, and the great power of military logistics held by civilian officials is virtually non-existent.

In February, Liu Zeqing received an edict from King Qin, first pushing the attack of a leg disease and not being able to serve the edict, and then indulged the army to loot in the Yanzhou area, killing and injuring a large number of people, and these Shandong town soldiers were even plagued by their own hometown, not to mention a foreign land like Huai'an.

Although the guest soldiers did not go to such a remote place as Yunti Pass, but the notoriety spread early, if the boat is really sitting in the Shandong town soldiers, I am afraid that there will really be many people who choose to jump into the water to escape, once caught by the guest soldiers, forced to pay food and money, I am afraid that life is better than death.

Fortunately, there were many flag soldiers on the ferry, and they could recognize at a glance that the people sitting on the boat were all local flag soldiers, and everyone greeted the flag army on the boat in relief, but the flag soldiers did not dare to respond because of military discipline, so they could only squeeze out a smile on their faces.

Or Min Yuanzhong stood at the bow of the boat and said loudly to the people on the ferry: "There are bandits coming, our 300th Min Deputy Thousand Households will take us to meet the bandits and protect the territory and the people, please rest assured, whether it is a guest soldier, a rogue, or a bandit or pirate, my family will not let them cause trouble in the place, with us here, there will be peace on this side!" ”

After Min Yuanqi was appointed as the deputy thousand households, he was also the hundredth hundredth household, and he did not take office in the city, and Li Kecheng, the palm print of the thousand households, naturally would not invite Min Yuanqi to take office in the city, and the Min family pushed Min Yuanqi out, but Li Kecheng was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

The movement of training the flag army in the 300th household is quite large, and many people know about it, but many people never expect that the flag army training is so majestic and mighty, after Min Yuanzhong shouted, not only on the ferry, but also on the official road on the shore The crowd was also a sensation.

In the exclamation of the crowd, the 100th president landed first, and the other 100 presidents also went ashore one after another.

The more cautious people heard that there were bandits coming, and they didn't dare to look at the excitement, so they hurried away.

There are still quite a lot of brave people who stay in place, and when they see the flag army coming ashore and the whole team, they can't help but sigh in admiration.

Whether it is an ordinary flag army or a common people, it is the first time in this life to see such a strong army, Dahewei has not had the task of the class drill army here for a long time, but the guard station and the Shandong guard station in Henan also have the squad drill army, every time the squad drill army is to the capital area will exercise, long distance of thousands of miles, the flag army on the road is from the guards of Shandong and Henan, ranging from hundreds to thousands of people at a time. Most of those banner troops were ragged and thin, and they could only march ten miles a day, and if they were dispatched in spring and summer, they would be tired and hungry at most, and they would be miserable when they went out in autumn and winter, and people would freeze and starve to death every day along the way.

There are also people here in Dahewei who have seen Ban Caojun in Shandong, and they cried all over the field when they left, because everyone knew that most of the old and frail people would die before they could survive the capital, and the day they went out was equivalent to parting. Even if he was lucky enough to get to the Beijing Division, Ban Cao was originally stationed in the Beijing Division, and later the imperial court also knew that the guard army was unusable, and the Ban Cao Army directly became a coolie when he arrived in the Beijing Division, repairing the city wall, repairing the mausoleum, repairing the palace and temple, and other drudgery and errands were handed over to these foreign class soldiers, and they worked as coolies in the Beijing Division for half a year to a year, and they had to die of a batch of exhaustion, and then another batch of deaths on the way back...... If a thousand people go out, there will be about seven or eight hundred people who will come back alive.

Ragged, emaciated, crying, hungry on the road, this is the impression that the guards give to everyone, there are some old soldiers, so thin that it is difficult to walk, and still have to serve in the team.

And the flag army in front of him, more than 400 people in the formation is solemn, the whole team is full of mighty atmosphere, the queue is extremely strict, when they go ashore, they are all lined up in columns, and after going ashore, the formation is set out, not chaotic at all.

Outsiders don't know why, they only see the military formation solemn, as neat as a knife and axe, but only the flag army itself knows that every day the military stick is swung, as long as there is a slight mistake is to be hit with a stick, after a long time, even the conditioned reflex will never stand in their own position, not even the slightest deviation dare not have.

This is Min Yuanqi's understanding of the battle and then the battle, those complex arrays are now too few people to put away, such as the Fangyuan Array, the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, the Fish Scale Array, the Triadage Array, the Big Three Talent Array, and so on.

However, the Mandarin Duck team is equipped with a small three-talent formation, which is almost the formation that these hundreds of troops can set up.

The first thing is that the team is neat, people know their position, and then talk about all kinds of big arrays, those big arrays are actually based on the strength and ration of the troops on both sides, and then according to the geographical conditions to decide, these truths many Ming army generals do not understand, so famous generals are famous generals, some generals are only worthy of charging with their families without brains, and even the most inferior is Liu Zeqing, the marching array looks decent, in fact, it can't fight at all.

More than 400 flag troops are swinging out, battalion flags, 100 general flags, flag team flags, squad flag guns all the way, under the fiery red banner is the flag army wearing red robes, sword players and cavalry are wearing cotton armor or chain mail leather armor, more than 20 cavalry began to reassemble after the sentinel proximity, Min Yuan looked directly at the big array, there was a pride in his heart, he also saw the tall cousin Min Yuanqi leading the horse ashore, many people around recognized this prestige of the deputy thousand households, many flag soldiers saluted, many people waved their hands and applauded.

When Min Yuanqi trained the army, he said that it was to protect the territory and the people, and now when he saw the flag army dispatched, many people thought of the words that Min Yuanqi had circulated before, and everyone scoffed at it at that time, and the people relied on the commander and the same knowledge, and the ministers and other adults, as well as the Zhizhou of Haizhou, Guannan Zhixian, Yancheng County, Huai'an Prefect, Xuzhou Soldier Preparation Road, Huaiyang Coastal Defense Soldier Preparation Road, and of course Fengyang Governor, these big men are the big men in charge of the defense of the two Huai armaments in Jiangbei, a small trial of 100 households, threatening to protect the territory and the people, It's really too high.

As a result, after the guests entered the country, Huaiyang Dao hid in Taizhou, and Xuzhou Dao had nothing to do with it, so he didn't come to ask at all.

Although Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, is high and powerful, and has Guizhou family members under his command, strong and loyal, and the generals such as Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong, who are temperate, are also strong and strong, Ma Shiying has not been stationed in Huai'an for a long time, and has been in Anqing and Luzhou for a long time, and has not been stationed in Huaiyang.

Ma Shiying did not come, and Huaiyang was empty, which was the reason why Liu Zeqing and later generations of Gao Jie and Huang Degong fought for Yangzhou.

The place was empty, the guest soldiers were raging, and suddenly saw a powerful figure from the local area, and the subordinates led by him were so elite, which immediately caused a sensation, and this sense of identity that arose instantly was very important to Min Yuanqi and the banner army.

Many flag soldiers trembled with excitement, and their morale was also greatly improved at this moment.

No wonder the Ming army recorded merits, the main and guest armies will be completely different.

After all the four hundred were arrayed, the cavalry received the information, and Min Yuanzhi continued to move forward with his subordinates.

The cavalry was scattered, and several of these cavalrymen were born in families, and their riding foundation was quite solid, and a few were military attachés from thousands to hundreds of households in the guard, who learned to ride horses since childhood, and had some foundations, which they basically mastered after hard training.

More are ordinary people who have ridden donkeys and mules before, and after training, it is no problem to run on horses, but if you want to ride and shoot immediately, gallop to kill the enemy, swing a knife and slash the enemy in a fast gallop, or ride and charge with your partner, this level is still far from the same.

Min Yuanqi often rode horses to participate in joint training when he was a cavalry train, he also learned to ride horses when he was a teenager, and he often rode donkeys or mules before owning war horses.

Horse control, long-distance riding, riding and shooting, sprinting, and the combination of men and horses to kill the enemy with a sword, now the training subjects of the cavalry are still being explored, Min Yuanqi faintly has some ideas, but it is still far from changing the method of cavalry warfare. At present, it can only be trained according to the training method of the Ming army's sentry cavalry that does not collect at night, and these cavalry in front of them, if they want to become the elite cavalry of the night level, even if they train day and night, two years is short.

Become an ordinary sentry rider, half a year to a year or so, and that's about it.

The military formation of three people began to walk quickly in the direction of the right side of the official road, at this time it was already past the hour, the sun rose high, and there were endless pedestrians along the way, seeing the magnificent army of the banner army, either retreated to the side in shock, or shouted loudly, and when they knew that they were going to meet the bandits, most of them were like ashes, and quickly accelerated to avoid.

On the right hand side of the crowd is the light yellow sea, from the sea to the official road with a distance of five or six miles, there is a large tidal flat in the middle, some children dig seafood on the seaside, and some are closer to some farmland, these acres are opened on the tidal flats, the soil quality is very poor, most of them are the private fields of the nearby flag army, the good fields they planted are on the right side of the official road, those fields near the tidal flats, that is, the poorest Weisho banner army only go out to plant, the average yield per mu of one mu is less than one stone, the soil quality is extremely poor, and the same hard harvest is very low, Only the banner army attaches great importance to such a meager income, and even if the households go to work as tenant farmers for the landowners, they will not go to the areas near the tidal flats to open up such barren fields.

A few miles to the north, there is a coastal village, and then a large field of land is stretched around the official road.

After more than ten miles, the army stopped on the side of the official road, and all the soldiers rested cross-legged for a quarter of an hour, and could drink water and eat dry food, but they were not allowed to talk to each other.

The weather was quite hot, many soldiers were wet after walking for more than ten miles, everyone raised the coconut scoop and drank bitterly, and there were some vendors on the side of the road who wanted to come over, but they were rushed from afar by the pacifying soldiers.

This time the battle, in fact, is beyond Min Yuanqi's imagination, it may be that the news of the bandits coming is relatively secret, and the people on the side of the road only avoided it when they heard about it, but there are still merchants and hawkers walking on the road, and there is a tea shed under the willow shade hundreds of steps away from the flag army, and there is a group of passing tea customers inside, watching the flag army pointing while drinking tea.

The status of the flag army of the guard has always been low, and although the pedestrians of the past were shocked by the prosperity of the flag army, they still did not look at these flag troops very much.

But when they saw Min Yuanqi's order, the flag army honestly sat cross-legged on the side of the road, turning a blind eye to the vendors who came to sell water and food, and the army was as stable as a rock, the eyes of these passers-by showed shock and admiration.

This kind of army, not to mention the flag army of the guard, even the battalion soldiers are far behind.
