The deputy general of the Great Western Army, who guarded the waterway, was a reliable figure under Li Dingguo, because he always shouted to strike first and get rid of those who resisted, in the land war, who was the opponent of the Great West in the world?

So he was assigned to guard the water gate.

Of course, this man is careful and will not be careless, and 3,000 people, plus some small boats and a few red-coated cannons, are enough to manage those passing ships, which is also a consideration for them to find financial resources.

Zhang Huan also did not live up to Li Dingguo's expectations of him, and the taxes collected by passing ships were also a very important source of tax revenue for Li Dingguo's army.

However, I am afraid that Zhang Heng was originally very wary of those Ming people, although they were separated, but the fate was so strange.

This is the spring of North Industries.

The skilled workers, working overtime, working hard in three shifts, and the enthusiasm that erupted made the elders who did the guidance secretly admire, which was of course the most real reaction after the labor was rewarded, and the most sold were naturally all kinds of swords.

If there is sales, there must be logistics, in this regard, everyone is working hard, and just as in later generations, truck driver overloading is a common phenomenon.

It is also difficult for truck drivers, driving day and night, paying tolls on the road, wanting to rest and not finding a place, and all kinds of gods want to fish for oil and water on you.

If you only transport the standard of ten tons and twenty tons, you will basically lose money, then, overloading is inevitable.

Although a considerable number of people have received the subsidy benefits of the imperial capital's sea ships and began to run to the sea, there are also many people who are more conservative.

After the whole ship of swords was loaded in Shanghai, after the departure, although I was worried that the ship was too full, but in these years, there was a shortage of soldiers, how difficult it was to find a job, and it was okay in the Yangtze River waterway.

When I arrived at the Xicheng Canal, something was wrong.

The reason why waterways are tangled is that the wet and dry periods are often very different, and the power of flowing water can often change the boulders under the water surface.

In short, the ship ran aground when it turned into the Xicheng Canal.

Naturally, someone came to the rescue, fortunately the ship did not sink, and the things on board were also safe, as for what was on it, look at those familiar boxes from North Industries, you can understand that it is arms again!

Zhang Heng felt that he could take care of it, although due to various reasons, he collected the toll and stopped caring about it, but now, since the ship is stranded, then we can seize these weapons, isn't it.

So they sent ships and contacted, and the other party was not slow to react, although they were all short of warships, the people from Changzhou and Wuxi were not the opponents of these elite battles.

Zhang Heng has not yet shown merit with Li Dingguo, the soldiers and horses of Changzhou Mansion came over, and launched a fierce battle along the Xicheng Canal, Li Dingguo's army also knew at this time that they had no way to retreat, under the leadership of Zhang Heng, fought a rare bravery, this battle down, killed more than 100 people in Changzhou Mansion, and injured nearly 200 people, seized countless weapons from the imperial capital North Industry, and also obtained a whole ship, thousands of swords and weapons, and successfully achieved a victory in Zhang Heng's view, which is a "great victory".

This battle is probably one of the few bright spots after the occupation of Jiangyin, although Zhang Heng is very brave, the soldiers are well trained and courageous, but after all, those equipment is very powerful, after this fierce battle, Li Dingguo's army also suffered serious losses, although nearly 300 people were killed and wounded, but the casualties paid by his command were dozens of people.

These local armies are not like the official armies that Li Dingguo fought before, fighting locally, and their morale is higher, and in any case, a group of Shaanxi people are still a little uncomfortable in Jiangnan.

It's hard to happen again that a single surprise enemy will be crushed and victory can be easily achieved.

In terms of army construction of the Nanming army, it is a proper bandit private soldier route, the more rotten the person, the easier it is to recruit, several Nanming princes did not know each other before, but it is also in the spirit of the more the merrier, what kind of illegal salt dealers, small groups of water bandits, anyway, there are many bad people, these people may be brave to take the lead when they rob the people, but once they actually fight, whether it is in terms of toughness or personal combat effectiveness, it is three minutes of heat, so although Zhang Heng only has a few sailors, he is not used to it, But the battle loss ratio achieved is also quite impressive.

After achieving this small friction, Zhang Heng was certainly beautiful, and all of Li Dingguo's troops had to be mobilized to confront the enemy, but Li Dingguo was both proud and heartbroken, proud that only a small number of old brothers in Shaanxi, with local peasant soldiers, could crush and beat Nanming's army.

A few guys who thought they had taken refuge in King Fu and King Lu of Lu, after suffering a small loss in the canal, began to be cautious, and soon no longer sent soldiers and horses to ask for weapons, but began to roll and splash, claiming that Li Dingguo disregarded the morality of the rivers and lakes, everyone is on the green forest road, and there must be the morality of the rivers and lakes, why don't you recruit An, after Zhao'an, the things in Jiangyin City will be divided into half of us, and we will give you a few good words in front of the emperor when the time comes.

This time, the name of the striker under the banner of King Lu is really terrifying, at least after it was exterminated, when it came time for the Council of Elders to record the archives, they had to sigh and be a big family.

Gou Dahu's family started by selling illicit salt and human trafficking, and most of them are ruffians and scoundrels, if they don't go into battle, they still look fat and strong, exposing their muscles everywhere to threaten this and scare that.

A battle like this will affect countless people in layers at the beginning, in fact, it is normal for a state capital to have people from King Lu, King Lu and King Tang. And when others fight, others will never let go of the opportunity to weaken the strength of their competitors, so Gou Dahu and the younger brothers of the other kings also began to confront, the complexity of the people in Jiangnan, even if the elders looked at it, they didn't plan to deal with it, the reason was very simple.

The sister of one of Zhang San's uncle's concubines was married to a Xiucai, who may have had a mentor who worked for Li Si, and Li Si's fellow Jinshi was in the service of another prince.

The relationship network thing seems quite mysterious, but the more you invest in it, the more spirit you consume, and it will be completely finished in terms of your own hard power.

At this time, Li Dingguo's troops were only more than 30,000 people, after all, Jiangyin's territory was so big, and it could feed so many people, and it was also Li Dingguo's own relationship of not pursuing enjoyment and leading by example, fortunately, with the Yangtze River at his back, although the activities of the Presbyterian Church could not interfere, there would be no sneak attack from behind on the Yangtze River.

To defend the two nodes of Jiangyin and Xicheng Canal, Li Dingguo's troops at hand began to be stretched, and this batch of weapons could not really be returned to these ill-intentioned neighbors, he was also more indignant about the tricks that the imperial capital did in order to make money, and vaguely guessed that this was also a means to balance them, although the soldiers could seize the enemy's weapons, but the enemy had money, and could continue to arm the peasants and come to die, while his people could not afford to fight a small part once.

Of course, the first person who can't stand it is Li Dingguo's opponent.

In the end, how many years of fighting are the veterans, and it is not the men who have just turned into nobles of the new dynasty under the big dog who refuse to work hard, whether it is the former traffickers who sold illicit salt, or the traffickers who robbed houses and houses, they have also done their best, but they all belong to the rabble, bully the common people on a small scale, or fight with the absent-minded officials and soldiers, and each led the younger brother and competitors to fight a bloody battle to grab territory, but the war is not so simple.

Fighting a war is a highly technical activity, the prize is all, failure means losing everything, itself is for the most powerful and high-quality people to play, the morale of the soldiers of Gou Dahu is not high, although the troops are more than Li Dingguo, and even rely on all kinds of shameless trails on the rivers and lakes, at the beginning of Li Dingguo was caught off guard, what lime powder won a small victory, but soon, Li Jun, who is very experienced, grasped the rhythm of the battle in his hands.

There is a problem on the Internet in later generations, why are the gangsters in the movie shirtless, and why don't they wear stab-proof suits.

The reason why this is the case is that what people themselves do is to smash and grab protection money, run to the people's yard and throw a bag of snakes, or smash those gambling tables with sticks to scare away guests, is the people's business, and the mobility requirement is the first!

Even if they are armed, they are still gangsters, do they know how to arrange troops, how to distribute physical strength, and how to adjust the formation according to the battlefield situation. Gou Dahu's troops were soon surrounded by a partial division in Li Dingguo's army, in fact, outside the entire encirclement, only a quarter of Gou Dahu's men and horses, but after holding a few key roads, Gou Dahu's morale has collapsed.

Although in order to preserve his strength, he hid some people and let his henchmen take them back to his lair, but Li Jun, who was soon seen to have clues, used a small force to constantly probe, and Gou Dahu was a standard chick on the battlefield.

At the beginning, I still had the idea of persuading me to surrender, but I was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty behind me, but I don't know what's going on, it's all bad news, only a certain brother came crying, the troops were scattered, and they all ran away at once, asking for the boss's support, but this was devastating everywhere, could Li Dingguo have heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to scatter beans into soldiers.

His strength is limited, and he is fighting alone, after two days of fierce fighting, Gou Dahu in Li Dingguo does not want to lose strength, and at the same time does not intend to really destroy Gou Dahu, cheaper others, so let Gou Dahu take people back, after this battle, Gou Dahu is only half of the ten adult horses, and in addition to his own backbone, many of them are old and weak soldiers who have nowhere to go, if it is not for the people left in the rear, he can basically announce his retirement.

After this battle, everyone broke off the delusion of daring to provoke Li Dingguo, and no one had the heart to take those weapons, but the people sent to win over Li Dingguo began to increase their prices and identities.

The salesmen of the imperial capital North Industries in Shanghai are also in a stage of constriction, and the arms marketing network that was laid out before has achieved a good response after initially opening up the reputation and market, and many people are taking the initiative to come to order, and there are even unscrupulous company employees, and the younger brothers sent by different princes to buy arms are arranged next door to the hotel, separated by a wall, and everyone is happy to contribute to the increase in military production.

After learning that their customers were so embarrassed, the elders still attached great importance to it, and they held a meeting to study it with a ridiculous smile, Jiangnan is a mess of porridge, and at present, it has gradually become the main source of their population for foreign immigrants, and rashly standing in line will definitely have the opposite effect, now, the elders can only take out a few hundred elites to behead the operation, but the war thing, don't care who starts the fight first, but who can stop.

At this point, after six days of arms fighting, Yigou suffered heavy casualties, Li Dingguo was not comfortable, and the others did not dare to end the ending, but everyone began to carry out activities against Li Dingguo.

This is also more to the appetite of the Presbyterian Church, Li Dingguo had to pay for more materials with the Presbyterian Church, which consumed more money, and for the control of the Xicheng Canal in the future, he also had to ensure that other warlords had the opportunity to transport, of course, the money was collected more.

Although Gou Dahu, who had suffered a loss, wanted the elders to send troops to help him, and even if he could, he could send himself to the dragon chair, but no one paid attention to him, and the current situation of several princes was that they did not dare to open the mansion and build a government and put up a big banner, but used a stand-in to hide behind him.

But how can the Ming officials and soldiers arrive here, the military household has already become the object of ridicule, the captured strong man, although he was reprimanded for not knowing the kindness of the Ming Emperor for hundreds of years, but even if he was caught, he would die, and he tried his best to escape, and he didn't care if he was killed, occasionally there were some poor ghosts similar to Huang Degong, who were willing to fight to the death by cutting off people's heads for money, and could not change the regime presided over by Nanming as a Confucian student, the natural decadence and self-destruction tendency, in fact, the five princes scattered their family wealth and fooled countless foolish landlords and old wealth, Most of the money that came by flickering went into the hands of those Confucian scholars who would flicker with lotus flowers.

They chanted poems against each other, saying that the big defeat was a turn of in, corruption was always like this, and anti-corruption became not knowing how to be flexible and not understanding the sophistication of human feelings.

Several princes have been hungry and thirsty for many years, and there is no Ming Jun to take a fancy to them, and after arriving in the imperial capital, they are basically in front of the Confucian students who have been treated coldly, and they can be called Ming masters, and they have to write all kinds of songs, write essays, and write theoretical arguments every day, and soon the Council of Elders will perish because of disrespect for Confucianism.
