In this rescue operation, a total of nearly 200 yacha and house slaves were eliminated, hundreds of swords were seized, and the rest were mainly iron rulers used by yacha daily use. Zhao Shi took Ji Xiancheng and others to make thousands of wooden sticks, sharpened at one end, basically realized one per soldier, so as not to fight empty-handed, if in the night, all erect wooden sticks, looking from a distance, it really looks like a cluster of spears.

According to the original information, this trip to Linqu County, there are two big villages in the middle, Hujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang, about 20 miles away from here. The Hu family and the Liu family are both big families here, the two families have a wide range of fertile land, many domestic slaves, and they are quite notorious in the township, usually bullying men and women, and seizing land and property have done a lot, because of the proximity to here, the two families have also sent a lot of tenants to the quarry who are driven or unable to repay their debts. In order to take care of the family and the home, the two families also recruited more than 200 rebels and stationed them in the village, echoing with the officials and soldiers of the county government, and also dispatched to cooperate with the officials and soldiers to exterminate the surrounding mob. According to the plan, Yu Zhilong will gather a brigade to surround the two stockades and obtain their baggage and weapons, which is a key step for the team's survival and development in the future.

Zhao Shi was careful, and arranged for someone to count the number of these yamen and house slaves earlier, to see if anyone had missed the net, Mu Chun personally took a few people who had been working here for a long time to check one by one, and finally came to report that the yacha were all there, including those who had been executed, but there were two less house slaves, one was Pan Tou, and the other was Huangpi, it is estimated that they were hiding in the periphery just now and were not discovered by everyone. Now I'm afraid I've escaped.

Yu Zhilong estimated the time, more than an hour has passed since the incident, and now everyone has simply drunk some porridge and rice, and see that it is almost evening, without further ado, they should set off immediately, first conquer the two villages, and then make plans.

Yu Zhilong called Ji Xiancheng, Hou Ying, Qian Zheng, Chang Zhi, Mu Chun and other hundreds of households, general banners and small banners. Everyone sat on the ground and made a big circle around Yu Zhilong. Yu Zhilong explained the destination and operational requirements of the departure, emphasizing that since the army has been formed, it should be the marching method, obey the command in all actions, die of cowardice, run away, and disobey orders! Conquer the stockade and do not plunder, do not commit adultery, and if you violate it, the capital crime will not be forgiven!

Because the two stockades are ten miles apart, they must attack at the same time, so as not to be discovered by the other party and be prepared. Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi summed it up, and decided that the two of them would lead half of the men and horses respectively, and after surrounding them, they would attack at the same time and strive for a battle. In order to be safe, he selected a few flexible people who were willing to cooperate with Yu Zhilong from the remaining yacha, and selected ten strong people, changed into the clothes of the yacha, pretended to go back to the city, and passed by the village to rest in the middle, striving to blend into the village. Shi Tou took it with him, and Yu Zhilong also needed him to come forward at a critical moment.

Qian Zheng also recruited a few local people from the team to be guides, and prepared torches, bamboo ladders and other things.

Zhao Shi formed a team after dinner according to Yu Zhilong's request, ready to set off, and the old, weak, sick and disabled stayed here first, and then went to the village to meet after they laid the village. What made Yu Zhilong more satisfied was that the fifteen team flags were lined up behind the corresponding hundred households, and the fifteen hundred households and fifteen flag bearers stood at the front, and their respective teams were crookedly lined up behind. In the absence of special training, he can barely stand like this, and Yu Zhilong is also satisfied. He didn't know that every time these drivers went to work and received food, the house slaves had to line up in order to get a better number, and if they didn't get it right, they would be punched and kicked, and they wouldn't be given food. After a long time, the drivers became accustomed to it, and each assembly could be sent into a column under the leadership of the team leader.

Considering that there are two house slaves to escape, estimated time, house slaves do not dare to take the quarry access road, can only go over the mountain, the speed can not be fast, Yu Zhilong ordered Qian Zheng to take a few old brothers, all changed into the clothes of the yacha, holding the official knife and iron ruler, under the leadership of the guide, galloped away first, went straight to Hujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang in the east, secretly concealed in front of the village, secretly blocked the road from the west, as long as the fugitive slaves wanted to enter the village, they intercepted these fugitive slaves before entering the village, so as to avoid future troubles.

Qian Zheng led the people away according to the plan, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp, rolling up smoke and dust all the way.

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi led the teams of hundreds of households in the back, forming four columns, and marching forward. The old brothers all had horses, and they were military horses, and they were strong and strong, and they were very spirited, and the subordinates of each team were even more courageous when they saw it. I thought they were just wandering thieves, but I never thought that there were many war horses, and I heard my own hundred households say that they are only forwards, and there are hundreds of people behind them, all of whom are men who can fight tough battles.

A curious soldier asked about their experience, and the hundred households who talked a lot couldn't help but proudly mention the encounter between Yu Zhilong and others and the Tartar Yuan Cavalry on the ramp a few days ago, how Yu Zhilong responded to the situation, how to use the blade Yuan Cavalry, and at the same time did not forget to show how he was brave and good at fighting, and he was bloody in a hundred battles. Among them, Hou Ying is the most capable of boasting. I only heard that the subordinates around me were dumbfounded, and they couldn't see that Zhilong, a young and thin man, was not very old, but he was quite resourceful and brave! Think about the two armies riding horses and fighting each other, wielding a knife and stabbing a spear to make a judgment of life and death, he is really a hot-blooded warrior, and he does not regret this life! Looking at Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi and the others again, they couldn't help but have a little more admiration and admiration.

Yu Zhilong did not stop these discussions, the unit was established in a hurry, and the officers and subordinates at all levels did not have a deep understanding of each other, and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of this march to let everyone deepen their understanding and understanding, especially to let the subordinates deepen their understanding of their superiors, which was more conducive to their future obedience and command. However, speaking of which, Yu Zhilong is mainly familiar with each other and has a tacit understanding with Zhao Shi, Xiucai and other colleagues in the scout team, and he doesn't know much about those brought by Ji Xiancheng and Chang Zhi and the people from the original squadron, but he only had a life-and-death friendship in the later battle with Yan Chi's cavalry. Fortunately, Zhilong left a deep impression on them in these battles, and Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi and others had already recognized their status as leaders.

Since leading everyone as the guide, Yu Zhilong has paid attention to strengthening the understanding and communication between superiors and subordinates. As long as he has the opportunity, Yu Zhilong tries his best to talk with Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi and the people they brought along the way, talking about their own life experiences, why they rebelled, the current general trend of the world, and everyone's way out in the future. Yu Zhilong consciously instilled in everyone the importance of the army's discipline, so that all subordinates should know: The army led by Yu Zhilong is not a bandit and a rogue, and the purpose of attacking the city and plundering the land is not to obtain supplies and prepare for continued wandering in the future, nor to kill a few officials and big families to show the evil spirit in their hearts, but to gain a foothold and gain the support of the local people, and even the squire, merchants and other people.

Speaking of the past rebellions, Yu Zhilong remembered that there had been a huge red eyebrows and yellow scarves, but it didn't take long for them to be wiped out by the imperial court, as if the people who finally succeeded were those who could arm the separatists, although the details could not be known, but think about it from the position of yourself, eighty percent of the original uprisers did not establish a consolidated political power, lacked the support of Shi Nong, and lacked systematic and coherent governance ideas.

Yu Zhilong didn't want to occupy the mountain as the king, it was a last resort when the strength was weak, what Yu Zhilong wanted was to capture the prefecture and county, and be able to stand apart! Therefore, the gains and losses of people's hearts are very important. Now Yu Zhilong led everyone to do is the first step, to capture Hujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang today, get weapons and baggage, and then take advantage of the situation to seize Linqu County and achieve their first foothold.

Everyone listened to it freshly, and everyone was forced to make a living in the past, and became anti-thieves, because of their weak strength, they were chased like rabbits by officials and rebels everywhere, wandering around. Finally, a few villages or county towns were built, and the poor and crazy people went around picking up usable things, including grain, cloth, silk, weapons, silver taels, mules and horses, and even women. It can be said that although Yu Hai and others do not admit that they are bandits, many things done by the big guys are no different from bandits, and some things that are immoral and even hurt nature and reason have also happened, after all, the county town is not so easy to fight, and the most villages are usually laid, and the looting of ordinary people is often unavoidable.

Yu Zhilong once talked to Zhao Shi, hoping that Zhao Shi would persuade Yu Hai to be more restrained, at least he had a good reputation and was easy to attract people to join. But Yu Hai can't, the army is big, there are all kinds of birds, Yu Hai's restraint on some big leaders is also limited, these big leaders brought people to join, they have a lot of independence, usually each department buries the pot to cook, stationed on guard, Yu Hai is not good to intervene directly, sometimes in a hurry, these big leaders can be anxious with you, and even have parted unhappily and parted ways. Usually there are some seizures, how to distribute them reasonably is Yu Hai's biggest headache, no matter how they are divided, there is always dissatisfaction in the end. In order to avoid suffering losses in the final distribution, some selfish leaders plundered the village on a large scale when occupying the village, even the families of ordinary people were not spared, and the property obtained naturally went into their own pockets. This further increases the difficulty of the final distribution and creates a greater irrationality. Another consequence is that it leads to the corruption of military discipline, and the hat of thieves is more implemented.

However, there are also difficulties in the sea, there are many people in the team, and all kinds of daily consumption are not bandits, if you can't build the village for a long time, you can sit and eat empty, people are hungry, and you dare to do anything! It's really time to run out of water, don't steal or rob, what do you eat!

There are rumors in private that there is a shortage of food in many places, and the local people have to change their children to eat, and there are secret rumors in the ranks that everyone has escaped from there. After encountering a dispute with a man from these areas, everyone tried to endure it in their stomachs and did not dare to make a big deal about it.

Therefore, after the march to the sea, it was inevitable that there would be harm to the neighbors, and the government naturally used this as a basis to publicize the harm of bandits and bandits, and encouraged the big families in the townships to recruit volunteers and participate in the encirclement and suppression of them. This naturally increased the difficulty of fighting in the sea.

In this era, the wisdom of the people has not been opened, everything is the strong is king, Yu Zhilong is soft-spoken, and in the face of such a situation, he is also helpless! Now that he is the leader, he hopes to make some efforts to break a path in the troubled times. At the beginning, he took the initiative to be a pioneer, and a big reason was to take charge of a single army and seek opportunities for development.

Yu Zhilong didn't expect this team to be able to quickly enforce strict military discipline, enforce orders and prohibitions, and be harmless to the people. Now these people have only one purpose, which is to live, and until this purpose is achieved, everything is in vain! However, Yu Zhilong hoped to instill in them part of the concept of military discipline in the early stage, give them the confidence and hope to live, and when the time is ripe, gradually tighten military discipline and completely get rid of the operational mode and thinking of the rogue gangsters.

Therefore, Yu Zhilong repeatedly explained that the kind of rogue idea of taking care of his mother after eating and drinking, and leaving after a handful of fish is unacceptable.

All the way to the east.
