Because the training of the spearmen took a while, and the New Year was less than a month away, the volunteers received an order to suspend all military sorties, unless the government people took the initiative to find trouble.

If you want to talk about looking for trouble, it is already good that the volunteers do not attack the cities of eastern Guangdong Province, and the government does not have the strength to recover the land occupied by the volunteers, at least there is no strength in eastern Guangdong Province to compete with the volunteers, unless the imperial court dispatches the troops around eastern Guangdong Province to encircle and suppress Chen Zijian, a bandit, there is a slight possibility of defeating Chen Zijian. The premise of defeating Chen Zijian is to dispatch 200,000 elite soldiers who are not afraid of death, and defeat Chen Zijian with crowd tactics, otherwise there is not even the slightest possibility.

The Volunteers are reloading with Mini guns and artillery, not to mention all the equipment, more than half of the Volunteers have realized the equipment of hot weapons, and the advantage of hot weapons is that even if a new soldier is an egg, give him a Mini gun, he can train well in a month, and if he fights a few more battles, he will be a veteran.

The cost of training a soldier with cold weapons is much higher than that of soldiers with hot weapons, as long as Chen Zijian is given a few months, 100,000 mini guns can be produced, and thousands of artillery pieces are not a problem, this is the benefit of initial industrialization.

As long as Chen Zijian is willing, he can pull up a 100,000 Mini spearmen at any time and sweep through the invincible province of eastern Guangdong.

However, it is a pity that Chen Zijian is very lacking in management talents, even if he attacks Eastern Guangdong Province and asks him to find so many management talents there, as for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zijian is full of discrimination against them, there is a rule in the Volunteer Army, when you see a scholar above Xiucai, you don't ask the reason, don't ask the reason, and give the leg a discount first. The reason is that this class enjoys a lot of wealth of the country, but it does not manage the country well, which leads to the change of the country and the rule of the Tartars for hundreds of years, which is a punishment for the literati.

Since he can't manage so many places, Chen Zijian has no choice but to develop and expand Zhangjiacheng, and then slowly figure it out, Chen Zijian has the most brave soldiers in the world at present, the most powerful weapon, as long as there are no big strategic mistakes, who else can defeat him.

As long as Chen Zijian himself does not die, deliberately let the volunteers go to death, and corrupt the foundation of the volunteers, Zhangjiacheng will be able to conquer the world with the army of kings in the future.

Li An, a fast catcher in Yuezhou City, was taught by his ancestors, worked diligently, and did not embezzle any money from the people, and belonged to an alternative figure among the Ming bureaucrats.

In the overall corrupt environment, you Li An is upright, not greedy or dirty, and is as great as a saint, so what do the corrupt people around him belong to! Because it is inevitable to be isolated by colleagues in this way.

If Ang Lee learns from his colleagues, he can quickly integrate into the collective, but it is a pity that his father has taught him how to be a man since he was a child, and with the residual yin of his ancestors, his wife can get by doing some business in Yuezhou City.

Yuezhou Mansion has a characteristic, that is, dare to be the first in the world, businessmen may be discriminated against in other places in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the northern region, but in eastern Guangdong Province, especially in Yuezhou people, there is very little such discrimination, why later generations were the first to carry out reform and opening up from eastern Guangdong Province, because eastern Guangdong people have innate factors.

Li An is mixed in the system, and his life is actually very poor, because expecting Yulu to support his family is a matter of talking about it all day and night, and the government often defaults on the payment of Yulu, and it is also for this reason that other Yulu has to think of another way to make money, otherwise the whole family will starve to death.

Originally, it was not Li An's turn to do this time, because of his personality, but no one helped him speak, and this time it was his turn to go to inquire about the news.

Last time, the government sent more than 30,000 bandit troops, and was hit by the volunteers, and captured more than 20,000 people at once, leaving less than 3,000 people to return to Yuezhou City.

More than 30,000 people were defeated in less than a day, how many more people will be needed to wipe out the rebels of the Volunteers? In short, the prefect has no choice, the first time the province recruited landlords, the people in the countryside can, but with the first fiasco, who dares to lend people to the prefect to suppress bandits for the second time? The prefect was worried about being scared in Yuezhou City for more than a month, afraid that the volunteers would make a counterattack against the thieves, and sent an army of anti-thieves to attack Yuezhou City, what would Yuezhou City use to defend, and the prefect knew that the army that went to suppress the bandits was demoralized by artillery, and if he used artillery to bombard Yuezhou City, there was really no way!

What the prefect feared did not happen, and after the anti-thieves defeated the bandit army, they simply took the population of several surrounding cities prisoner and then retreated to Maoming County, which has now become a den of anti-thieves. The prefect should know the anti-thief's plan, let the following people go to Maoming County, communicate with the anti-thief, and go to the anti-thief's den in the name of the messenger, no one dares to go, who knows what the anti-thief is in his heart, a bad messenger is killed, and the prefect can take revenge. Then this matter was pushed back and forth, and finally fell on Ang Lee's head, who made him usually unsociable, this outlier everyone wanted to kick him away. Li An has been able to catch fast for so many years, because there is no stain to be caught, colleagues really have no way to take him, in the system, everyone must pay attention to the rules, and if the rules are broken, they will be caught by other colleagues, and Li An just doesn't partner with everyone, when it comes to any deep hatred, there is no need to kill people for this little thing, ordinary people die when they die, no one will care except for their families, the key is that Li An is a person in the system, and if he dies, he will be in trouble.

Li An rode a horse, wearing the clothes of catching fast, no bandit dared to provoke along the way, the bandit didn't care if Li An passed by, in addition to having nothing valuable, but also because he was a member of the government, other forces would give the government some face at any time, of course, there was no conflict of interest, if Li An passed by with a large bag of gold and silver, do you see if the bandit will eat it in one bite? It doesn't matter what kind of government you are in the government or not, Lao Tzu has become a thief, will he be afraid of your government?

When Li An appeared on the territory of Maoming County, some patrolling volunteers saw that the large army of volunteers returned to Zhangjiacheng for repairs, and there were scouts around Maoming County, which were scouts. Investigate the dynamics of the government's office.

Li An tightened his horses and listened, because the twenty horses in front of him were on the official road, blocking Li An's passage, and they were intercepted when they entered the Maoming territory.

Li An, as a person in the system, knows some things that the people don't know, the war in the north is spread by the imperial court through the Di Bao, and some of the insiders in the Di Bao are not known to ordinary people, Li An knows that some of the methods of the thieves in the north are nothing more than a local natural disaster and man-made disasters that can't survive, if the court doesn't treat them, and then someone organizes to make trouble, this trouble is not an ordinary trouble, and kills officials and rebels, organizes the local people, if someone doesn't follow to rebel, kill the people who oppose it, Then it swept from one place to another like locusts, and because of all kinds of corruption in the place, the place was no longer able to stop the expansion of the homeless, so it snowballed and grew, and finally the court was shaken.

Although the thieves develop and grow rapidly, the speed of decay is faster, when the thieves grow to a certain extent, due to the local plunder, the supply of the thieves team cannot be replenished, the thieves will be defeated in a short time, and when the thieves are defeated, it is the time when the court army comes to grab the credit, because during this time, the thieves are not full to eat, and the weakest time, the court army can often kill with one blow and defeat the thieves.

The consequence of this is that the place where the thieves passed, a piece of erosion, a large number of local people died, and it is not a legend that there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, through the Di Bao, Li An knows that a large number of people in the northern region, especially in the Central Plains, have died in large numbers, and the bones are ignored on the side of the road, but unfortunately he is in the southern region, and he can't do anything about the war in the north, Li An is just an ordinary catcher, in the face of the general trend of the world, what can he do!

Stopping his own people, Li An saw it clearly, wearing a strange iron helmet, wearing an iron armor on the main part of his body for protection, and holding a fire system in his hand.

No matter what aspect it is, Ang Lee knows that he is not the opponent of the team of people in front of him, and the twenty rebels of the Volunteers are not something he can deal with personally, he is just an ordinary catcher, and he can't learn a pervert like Chen Zijian. In addition, the other party has a fire weapon, Li An doesn't want to try its power, he just came here to find out the meaning of this group of anti-thieves, not to send his life, to put it bluntly, he is a messenger.

Ang Lee dismounted, with no weapon on him, indicating that he was safe.

Of course, he hadn't learned the surrender ritual of the Volunteers, which was to surrender with both hands, but now he was waiting by the horse.

The Volunteers sent two men over.

"Catch fast?"

Among them, there is a volunteer scout who has seen this kind of service, and he asked with some doubts, but he is a little unsure, it is easier to catch some silver quickly, and there are many ways, but the person in front of him is wearing clothes that are fast catching, but they are washed white, and he looks a little down, the key is that the volunteers see the justice in this person's eyes. That's right, it's justice, giving people the impression that he's justice.

The volunteer scout was originally an ordinary person, and he could see a little Taoism, and some of them looked at people like wolves and tigers, and wanted to eat people's eyes, but this person was an illusion of openness and no regrets.

Li An arched his hand and said calmly, "I am sent by the prefect of Yuezhou City, and there are some things that the prefect wants to ask the chief, please be accommodating." ”

Chen Zijian's self-proclaimed chief name is no secret.

The two volunteers went back to discuss with the captain behind, and soon a few people came to the side of the eight Li An to search the side, and after confirming that he did not carry weapons, he took him back, Li An came as a messenger, even if they had not read, they had also heard some truths, what two armies did not come to war, this is a high-level dialogue, beyond their handling authority, they can't be a soldier to spoil the chief's big thing.

The Volunteers are thriving, of course, they will not be afraid of a quick capture without weapons, and in the current situation of many Volunteers, it is impossible to assassinate the chief with one person.
