The big tent of the cangtou army.

Bo Bai frowned, he only had 3,000 people in his hands who were the most combative, and there were 5,000 in the central guard, but they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, if they really started a large-scale war, they would not only be useless, but would become a burden. It seems that there is only borrowing troops.

Who to borrow? Over the years, the Mongolian tribes on the steppe have almost been offended by him, and even others may not be able to trust him.

Liu Dongchang came over: "General, the Mongolian leader of the Hetao is the rabbit...... Can I ask him for help? ”

"What good is it to bring him here...... That guy has always been insatiable, and I can't guarantee that he won't open his mouth......" Boebai rubbed his temples.

Liu Dongchang also pondered for a while, and he suddenly pointed to a place on the map: "Huama Pond!" Give them the flower horse pond! Anyway, these Mongolian barbarians don't know how to farm, let them graze in Huamachi! I don't think the Rabbit will be unmoved, right? He's wanted this place for years! ”

Bo Bai's movements did not look like an old man at all, he sat up smartly, and stared at the flower horse pond on the map with two bright eyes: "...... Not bad! Not bad! This is the place! The grass was so fertile that several tribes were staring at it, but no one could eat anyone, and they didn't dare to do it...... If this place were given to the Rabbit, he would agree!"

Liu Dongchang immediately called Tuwenxiu: "If you go to Hetao, you will bring the message of General Bobai to Litu!" Tell him, help me capture Ningxia and Shaanxi, and let Huamachi listen to his grazing! ”

Tu Wenxiu ignored him, but looked at Bobai, and when he saw Bobai nodding, he turned around and went out without even looking at Liu Dongchang.

Liu Dongchang was embarrassed, Bo Bai smiled and shook his hand: "This is our Tatar habit, only if you show that you are stronger than him, he will obey your anger." Don't worry! Soon you'll get their approval! ”

Liu Dongchang smiled: "I hope so!" ”

In Ningxia City, everyone was already in a panic. Dang Xin didn't expect that Liu Dongchang would ignore his family and join the rebels, and actually became the chief soldier of the rebels!

It's too late to say anything at this time. The Ningxia city guard is not far away, but Li Yuan had already said before leaving that the soldiers of the city guard could not be used to fight at all, and they were good at farming. Moreover, Ningxia has been peaceful for a long time in recent years, with Li Chengliang and Li Rusong in the east, and Bobai's Cangtou Army in the west, he doesn't need to worry about anything militarily at all, so he has not been prepared.

Chen Cheng, the political envoy, ran in breathlessly: "Lord Governor, let's hurry up and leave from the east gate!" This Bobai may attack the city at any time, relying on the little soldiers of the city guards, it can't hold it at all! ”

Dang Xin smiled bitterly: "Can you go out to the east gate?" Have you forgotten the 3,000 soldiers under Liu Dongchang? ”

The east gate was guarded by Liu Dongchang's soldiers. It's good that they don't counterattack and come in, but they still want to run from the east gate, isn't this self-defeating?

Just then, the rebels began to attack the city.

There was no decent resistance at all, Liu Dongchang's army guarded the east gate, and Bobai 3,000 soldiers and horses attacked the north gate, at most a moment, they broke the city gate and rushed in.

When Bo Chengen led his troops to rush into the yamen of the political envoy, Dang Xin, the governor, was actually sitting in it, fearless, looking at everyone leisurely and indifferently.

After all, Bo Chengen was a rebel, and he lacked confidence, so he sneered: "The governor is really a good man!" Come! Cut him down for me! The head is hung on the city wall for public display! ”

Dang Xin didn't move, and said with a smile: "Bo Chengen, you chose to take this path yourself." I deducted your military salary, but I am for the Ming Dynasty! How can you aliens become big! That Liu Dongchang didn't understand what I was thinking, and he deducted his military salary just to force him to train his soldiers! He embezzled military pay to marry his daughter-in-law without authorization, hehe......"

That sneer made Liu Dongchang's heart furious, and he said in a loud voice: "It is my freedom to marry a daughter-in-law!" Besides, how much did you pay in previous years?! ”

"No matter how much, it's enough for your 3,000 soldiers! I didn't expect you to embezzle military pay to marry a daughter-in-law, really I don't know? You've never thought about why I didn't care? ”

Liu Dongchang's face was covered with cold sweat, and he said with annoyance in his heart, this party Xin actually dared to lift his old bottom? !

Dang Xin, who had already put life and death aside, suddenly shouted: "Liu Dongchang! Do you still know how to write the word treacherous?! It's a female word, plus a dry word! Just last week, you married Mrs. Ninth Aunt! ”

Everyone looked at Liu Dongchang with complicated eyes.

Liu Dongchang was annoyed and ashamed, and commanded the soldiers around him: "Drag it out!" Drag it out! Chopped! Chopped! ”

By the time Jiang Fei's sentinels got the news, Ningxia City had been breached. Everything was too fast.

Killed Dang Xin and Deputy Envoy Shi Jifang, set fire to the office, collected the seals, and released prisoners. coerced the commander-in-chief Zhang Weizhong to report the "drastic change of salary" with the party's Xin, and asked for the imperial seal, but Weizhong hanged himself.

What Zhu Yidao can do now is to train these 5,000 soldiers as much as possible, and the wolves have already sent news that Bobai has colluded with the Mongolian leader of Hetao, Litu, to use his troops to go south to Shaanxi at the cost of grazing in Huamachi.

I don't know if the eight-hundred-mile rush has already arrived in Beijing.

Every day, the people of Zhongwei would see the five thousand left-behind soldiers who were wilting and couldn't do it, running around the city as if they were being chased by dogs. In fact, they are really exercising their physical strength. Lao Zhu spent at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to purchase grain and grass from these people, and the effect was still very good. Originally, there was no need to pay for the purchase of grain and grass, but Lao Zhu felt that if he wanted the people to fight against Bobai with him, he must not offend them.

Therefore, the people are also full of good feelings for this brocade and Wei Baihu. After all, there are very few officials who can still think about the people with this idea.

Lao Zhu was still worried about the equipment, but Jiang Fei found Zhongwei's arsenal through Bolian, and when Zhu Yidao went to take a look, his eyes were straight.

Boy!

There's really everything in this arsenal! Divine cannons, three-eyed firearms, rockets...... It's got you covered! Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh that if it was in the last years of Chongzhen, the Ming army could still use these firearms reasonably, how could it not let a small Manchu rule China for hundreds of years.

And the Manchurians hated these firearms terribly. It's all sealed! In the Opium War hundreds of years later, the Qing army used firearms in the Ming Dynasty!

It's not a problem to have firearms, the problem is that no one will use them.

Even if it is Zhu Yidao, he will not use this kind of extremely antique weapons and equipment, and he is still a front-loading gun!

At this time, an old man with gray hair and beard walked out tremblingly: "Rank lord, Xiao Lao'er has worked in the ordnance station for more than ten years, this kind of firearm Xiao Lao'er ...... I will still use a little ......" to say that the cough does not stop.

Lao Zhu was overjoyed and bowed deeply to the old man: "Please leave everything to the boss!" The old man was so startled that he almost fell to his knees.

It's not the same to be taught. And everyone is very interested, let's see what Lao Zhu Chengtian asked them to do: get up in the morning for five kilometers of cross-country, and after coming back, it is three hundred, and when it is over, it is queue training - I don't care about the effect, it is to listen to the command - and then tactical training, three-stage shooting, three-person squad operation......

These unheard of methods made Bo Lian marvel very much, and called Zhu Yidao the style of General Qi Jiguang. made Lao Zhu's neck blush. Luck, pure luck!

Therefore, Lao Zhu modestly said that this was all the result of the willingness of all the soldiers and the proper command of the officers. His modesty undoubtedly won the favor of everyone, including the old man.

Only Jiang Fei remained silent, these methods had been used a long time ago, and he didn't look at who was practicing! The guys in the wolf pack are like wild wolves, and they see their previous shadows from these miscellaneous soldiers, and in order to make them better survive on the battlefield, they are training them with their lives.

Bobai's order has been handed down: the central defenders continue to train and continue to wait for the arrival of the army.

Bo Lian sneered when he saw it. Bobby doesn't know about the centre-backs yet, if he had. I don't know if he will vomit blood, the thousands of soldiers and horses he has worked so hard to accumulate have already made wedding dresses for others when Bo Chengen was mean and unkind.

But on the surface, it is still necessary to fool the heralds: Lao Zhu and they are under house arrest in the post station, and people follow them every day when they go in and out. The envoy was satisfied, and pleased—the beautiful woman that Bolian had given him was quite beautiful!

The front is a lively fight, Bobai Lianxia Guangwu, Yuquan Ying, Lingzhou (now Ningxia Lingwu) and other cities, but Pingyu can not hold on. However, it was only a matter of time, the army of the Rabbit would arrive soon, and he would not be able to hold out for long.

During this time, only the central defender was calm as water on the surface, but in fact it was also turbulent.
