After receiving Li Zicheng's reply, Li Yan told Li Zicheng about serious military discipline, and only after getting his reply did he leave satisfied.

Looking at the figure of Li Yan leaving, Li Laiheng was very unhappy and said: "King Chuang, the military advisor's move is too presumptuous. Our rebels have always grabbed wherever they went, and when did they pay money? If the brothers are accustomed to receiving the salary, who will be willing to fight for their lives in the future, and will not sit at home and wait for the salary one by one?

Also, after the military advisor came, the brothers were not allowed to do it, and the brothers were not allowed to do it, and the brothers pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers. It's not that I want to live a happy life for a few days, if it's all like what he said, let's just go to be monks! ”

Listening to Li Laiheng's complaints, Li Zicheng just kept his face calm and kept silent, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "Don't say it again, the military advisor also has his considerations, our righteous army can not have today's achievements without the hard work of the military advisor, and some of our brothers are too disagreeable, they will harass the people and molest women every day, which is really insulting to the name of the righteous army, let the military advisor straighten it out, at least don't let them be so unscrupulous, after all, our rebel army is still inseparable from the military advisor!" ”

Li Laiheng was silent, he didn't know the significance of Li Yan's existence to their existence, and he also knew very well what the benefits of having a disciplined army would be for their great cause.

But people are such a strange animal, sometimes you know that this is good for everyone, but you just don't want to do it or don't want to do it, it's not that there are no people who are dedicated to the public, but there are too few. Even those who read the books of the sages all day long can do it, let alone a group of rogues who are used to robbing homes and houses?

In fact, as early as when Li Yan proposed to rectify military discipline, Li Zicheng was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but these dissatisfactions were covered up by the growth of the rogue, but with the death of Li Guo in battle and a series of reforms such as recruiting soldiers and rectifying military discipline proposed by Li Yan, this dissatisfaction was transformed into a lieheng, and this rift is slowly expanding over time.

In a hilly area more than sixty miles away from Ningguo Mansion, there is a village with about 100 households, about 700 or 800 people, which is already a big village in this era.

The Third Cavalry Battalion led by Cao Yingmao is currently settled here.

Since coming here, Cao Yingmao has asked the entire village to be blocked, forbidding the people in the village to go out, and the people in the village are not without complaints, but for the sake of the bright saber and the shining firecracker, the villagers have happily accepted this somewhat excessive request.

However, to their reassurance, although this group of self-proclaimed officers and soldiers of the imperial court poured into their village, the military discipline was very strict, and it could be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes, let alone make any teasing or use of hands and feet to the women in the village, and even in their spare time, they would even help the villagers do some farm work or cheer for the family.

In the face of such a team, the villagers were both happy and worried.

Happily, this team did not have the greed and plunder of the rumored officers and soldiers at all, and the fear was that if they were allowed to seal the village like this, the villagers would be cut off.

The villagers were worried that Cao Yingmao didn't know, and at this time, his mind was already hanging on the tributary of Ning Guofu opposite.

Although Yang Feng had confessed when he came out, the mission of Cao Yingmao's cavalry was to observe and contain Li Zicheng, not to destroy them, but also to let their unlimited development sit large, so as not to end badly in the future.

However, Cao Yingmao is not a peaceful person, thinking that since it is rare to lead the troops out for a trip, he can't do nothing, otherwise if others ask him what he did on this trip after he goes back, Cao Yingmao himself will blush.

And what is Cao Yingmao pondering? He took a fancy to the gold, silver, and jewels that this tributary had looted in Ning Guofu.

According to the report from the inside line mixed into the rogue bandits, since Liu Zongmin led this branch of the rogue to capture Ningguo Mansion, he took the rogue to desperately loot the wealth, not only all the rich families in Ning Guofu have suffered, but even those slightly more solid people and families have not escaped their poisonous hands, according to the inside report, Liu Zongmin has scavenged tens of millions of taels of silver in Ning Guofu in the past few days.

After hearing the news, Cao Yingmao's first reaction was not to believe it.

What is the concept of tens of millions of taels of silver, last year's tax payment in the Ming Dynasty was almost this number, right? These thieves got so much silver just by looting a mansion?

But then a few more insiders came in the news, that's all, and it will only be more, not less.

After confirming the accuracy of the news, Cao Yingmao couldn't be calm, if he could grab this batch of silver and then dedicate it to Grandpa Guo, what a great credit it would be.

Wouldn't it be better to put such a large sum of money in your pocket, one might ask?

Hehe, but anyone with a little brain will not do this, silver is good, but you must also have the ability to protect this silver, otherwise it will not bring you wealth but disaster.

It's just that although he is very greedy for this silver, but how to get his hands on it is a problem, Cao Yingmao knew with his knees that such a large sum of silver, the other party's main general would definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and they are now in the city, although these cavalry under their command are incomparably powerful in the field, but siege is not their strong point, and Cao Yingmao has scratched off dozens of hairs for this matter in the past few days.

Just as Cao Yingmao, who had eaten lunch, was sitting in the room in a daze at the map, a personal soldier walked in and reported: "General, Grandpa Guo sent someone to deliver the latest order. ”

"Oh...... Take it right away. ”

Cao Yingmao didn't dare to slack off, and quickly opened the order and looked at it.

"Shhh...... These thieves are too bold to even do such a heart-wrenching thing. Do you also ask us to block this stream of rogues? ”

After Cao Yingmao read the order, he immediately called a general manager who did not collect money at night and asked.

"Lao Zhou, have you found anything in the past few days if you don't collect it at night? Especially in the direction of our road to Anqing Mansion, is there any news of the Liukou? ”

"Nope."

The Bai general manager shook his head, "The focus of these days and nights is to investigate the movements around Ningguo Mansion, as for our investigation to Anqing Mansion, there is less investigation, and nothing happens." ”

"Anqing Mansion was taken by Grandpa Guo, and those remaining thieves are fleeing this way, you immediately send more people to reconnoiter to see if there are any traces of thieves, and if there is, report it immediately."

"Oh, I understand!"
