After sending Liu Wuguo away, Liu Renyu ordered Liu Renjie to invite 10 soldiers in the cavalry camp who had learned Danqing painting skills and asked them to draw Zhao'an comic strips.

The flow of this painting is roughly like this.

In the first picture, the weather is dry, the fields are out of harvest, and the people have no food to eat, so they have to be thieves.

In the second picture, a big official is depicted, chanting words to his own subordinates.

In the third picture, in the second picture, the men of the great officials bring food to meet the people who have become thieves.

In the fourth picture, the people take the grain and go home to live a good life.

Each of these pictures points out the key points, and it stands to reason that they should be excellent propaganda materials for recruiting security, but a few soldiers have different opinions.

"My lord, your idea is really clever, but in the first picture, the small one thinks that it is possible to add the picture of the evil officials and officials still urging taxes in the years of famine." A soldier spoke.

"No, we still need the help of state and county officials in various places to recruit security this time, if we draw their evil deeds, how can they still help us do things. So let's just understand this matter in our hearts, so don't publicize it. Liu Renyu waved his hand and stopped.

After saying this, the painters had no doubts, so they all imagined the characters in the painting according to their own pen power, and only needed to draw the story in the painting as Liu Renyu said.

However, it is said that these painters do not come into contact with many characters, so the characters in the paintings generally evolve from the characters they know.

For example, those who act as the people are all in the appearance of their neighbors; Those who act as the subordinates of the big officials are all in their own robes, as for the big official who issued the order to recruit An.

Not surprisingly, all the painters painted Liu Renyu's appearance.

Liu Renyu did not interfere with the creation of the painters, he just asked everyone to make 100 drawings each.

When the painters heard this request, they all said that if they rushed to make it, they were afraid that the painting would not be beautiful, and the artistic conception in the painting would not be in place.

In this regard, Liu Renyu criticized with a smile: "This painting is painted for those thieves and coarse people, the key is to understand the meaning, those artistic conceptions or something have a hairy use, do they know how to appreciate it?" ”

After listening to the words of their own general, the painters had some understanding, so they accelerated the progress, asked for quantity, sacrificed a little quality, and finally rushed to produce more than 4,000 Zhao'an comic books.

After the painting was finished, Liu Renyu ordered Liu Renjie to wait for the ink to dry, and then sent someone to take the painting to Yan'an, Suide, Mizhi, Yanchang, Yanqing, Qingjian, Anding, Ansai and other prefectures and counties of the villages, towns, forts, and villages to post, and then each prefecture and county sent a special person as a liaison, if there were thieves willing to accept Zhao'an, Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo would send people to contact.

After this work is completed, Liu Renyu plans to inspect how well his soldiers are preparing for the expedition.

During the inspection, Liu Renyu saw that there were always soldiers and horses from other places running in groups to his tent to watch, and he asked Yang Desheng and others who accompanied him what was the reason for his curiosity.

Everyone said that just like the last King Qin, the soldiers and horses of other troops were extremely curious when they saw the sharp armor and strong horses of the Jingbian Fort army, so they often came to watch the soldiers and horses of other troops, and then found an opportunity to talk to them and ask why the Jingbian Fort army was so well equipped.

"And what did our soldiers say?" Liu Renyu asked.

"According to the confidentiality requirements you mentioned, what you said is that we have some silver rewards for fighting Beilu and Jiannu, so we have purchased some life-saving items, and as for the military salary, it is also the same as other soldiers and horses, and it is in arrears for 30 months." Yang Desheng replied with a smile.

At this time, Li Jiye was not there, and Yang Desheng had the highest seniority in the Jingbianbao army, and every time he answered, Yang Desheng answered first.

"The other soldiers and horses have listened, and they haven't made a noise like that King Qin, right?"

"No, no, they all just said that it was so, and they dispersed, and nothing happened." Yang Desheng replied.

"That's good, how are our soldiers prepared?" Liu Renyu asked.

"There is nothing special to prepare, we went to receive ten days of dry food according to your order, and 3 taels of silver to settle the family, and then we will beat the horses and maintain the equipment, these things have already been done, just wait for the order to go out."

"That's good, before the expedition tomorrow, you have to swear on the school field, you all have to inform your subordinates, in front of Hong Junmen and Du Zongzhen, you have to behave better, don't break the prestige of our Jingbian Fort Army, and don't lose my face." Liu Renyu emphasized.

"Yes, my lord, the lowly rank will definitely go down and tell the soldiers about it." The crowd bowed in response.

Liu Renyu nodded, then walked around his own camp again, and then returned to his own camp.

*****************

On the second day, the soldiers and horses of Guyuan and Yansui towns gathered in the military camp and school field outside Yulin Town.

The rest of the generals and military attachés each led their headquarters to stand on the school field in turn.

At this time, on the school field, looking around, among the soldiers and horses of the various departments, if the armor soldiers are sharp, it belongs to Liu Renyu's best, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are mostly tattered because of financial reasons, and only weapons are life-saving things, so they can be regarded as the past.

However, although the armor of his soldiers and horses was tattered, because of the care of Hong Chengchou these days, he ate really well, and he also got An Jiayin, which is still good in terms of mental outlook.

Hong Chengchou, who was standing on the platform, looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses under the stage, whether they were infantry or cavalry, all standing tall and neat, with a solemn and murderous aura, and the fierce spirit of the Ming border army was finally revealed again.

He first smiled with satisfaction, and then said in a loud voice: "The thieves are rampant, and the killing is very miserable in the township, and the people are in the midst of fire and water. At this time, my soldiers should hang the people, relieve the people from hanging, punish the thieves, and return the people to a prosperous future. Today, we are here to swear and go out to fight against the thieves, and I hope that all the soldiers and horses will fight hard, and I will not hesitate to reward them. If there are people who are afraid of war and avoid war, and refuse to do things honestly, then I will definitely punish them severely, and you must remember them. ”

As soon as Hong Chengchou's voice fell, more than 3,500 soldiers on the school field responded in unison: "Obey." ”

"Kill the sheep and sacrifice the flag." Hong Chengchou said loudly again.

His own soldiers took out a fat sheep, cut it down with a knife, and killed it.

After the ceremony, Hong Chengchou said loudly again: "Go on the expedition." ”

There are soldiers who are in charge of heralding the order, and they play bursts of swan sounds.

All the soldiers and horses shouted in unison: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories." Then they followed their own commanders, and walked out of the camp one after another.

After Hong Chengchou presided over the flag sacrifice ceremony, he rode a horse with Du Wenhuan to the front of the team.

At this time, Liu Renyu's ministry met with Liu Wuguo's ministry and was about to go south.

Hong Chengchou rushed to the two of them on his horse, and when the two saw Hong Junmen suddenly arrive, they hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.

"The two of you must cooperate sincerely when you go south to fight for thieves this time, don't fight for merit, don't dump each other, otherwise the war will be unfavorable, and you two will be punished together for the same crime, can you write it down?" Hong Chengchou admonished.

"Yes, the military gate, the humble (last general) has written it down." The two said in unison.

"Very well, go ahead." Hong Chengchou said.

So the two said goodbye to Hong Chengchou and Du Wenhuan, and then took 600 cavalry, cavalry infantry, and more than 30 four-wheeled carriages, and walked first and headed in the direction of Mizhi. Another 400 infantry followed.

The army walked on the official road to the south, and the two generals surnamed Liu walked side by side at the front of the team, talking and laughing.

When Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo were talking happily, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a young general behind Liu Wuguo, whose face was quite heroic, but there was no expression on his face at the moment, and he looked preoccupied.

"Who is this?" Liu Renyu saw that this young general was following Liu Wuguo closely, and he expected to be an important person.

"He, he is the thousand chief Wei Zhongyi in my camp. Come, Zhongyi, don't come and see Lord Liu soon. Liu Wuguo said to Wei Zhongyi.

When Wei Zhongyi heard this, he first looked left and right, and finally hummed out reluctantly under Liu Wuguo's repeated urging: "Humble Wei Zhongyi, I have seen Lord Liu." ”

"Hello Mr. Wei Qian." Liu Renyu returned the salute with a grin, he didn't care about Wei Zhongyi's attitude.

But Liu Wuguo couldn't stand it anymore, he glared at Wei Zhongyi, and shouted angrily: "Look at your appearance of being dead or alive, how do you talk to Shangguan, it's really disgusting to look at, you fucking give me a fucking death." ”

"Yes." Wei Zhongyi deliberately dragged out his tone, then shook the horse's head heavily, and stood up the man who was leading his horse, and then he ran behind in a very high-profile manner.

"The skin of this donkey day is itching again, it's really fucking unclean." Liu Wuguo scolded and scolded.

Liu Renyu took a look at Wei Zhongyi's style and felt that he must have relied on something to dare to behave like this in front of his own general, so he smiled and said: "This Qian Zong's temper is not small. ”

"Hey, who said it wasn't, if it weren't for his sister's sake, how could I allow him to be presumptuous." Liu Wuguo said angrily.

No wonder that! Liu Renyu suddenly realized.

"Why is Mr. Wei Qian so unhappy?" Liu Renyu asked with great curiosity.

"It's not because of ........" Liu Wuguo was about to talk carefully, but suddenly stopped talking as if he remembered something, and then sneered: "It's just some troubles at home." ”

"Oh, I know." Liu Renyu saw that Liu Wuguo didn't want to say, so he didn't ask anymore.

So the two continued to talk and laugh along the official road all the way, and went straight to Mizhi County, which was closest to Yulin.

Speaking of rice fat, it was very famous in the Ming Dynasty, and this name is first of all because of the products here.

Mizhi County was located in the northern part of Shaanxi Province and was under the jurisdiction of Suide Prefecture of Yan'an Prefecture at that time. This place of rice fat was called Yinzhou in ancient times, and it was also called Yinchuan County.

Due to the gift of the Creator, the millet produced here has an excellent texture, as smooth and beautiful as jade fat, and it is renamed rice fat.

In addition, another important reason for making Mizhi famous all over the world is that there is a great figure here, this person is Li Zicheng, who ended the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years in the original history.

Because of this, Liu Renyu was still a little excited when he first entered Mizhi County, and the reason why he was excited was that he might meet this well-known historical figure.

According to the time of later history, Li Zicheng Chongzhen was dismissed by the post station in the first year, and he returned home unemployed.

Back at home, Li Zicheng couldn't stop. When he was a post soldier in the past, he killed two horses in the court, and the court asked him to pay compensation, so he had no money and borrowed money from Ai Tongzhi, a former official of the Ai family.

When he went home, Ai Tongzhi came to Li Zicheng to ask for the debt, Li Zicheng even lost his job, how could he have the money to repay the debt. So the angry Ai Tongzhi asked Li Zicheng to be questioned by the government, and the later King Chuang was almost killed.

So Li Zi became a life, killed Ai Tongzhi in the second year of Chongzhen, and fled to Gansu with his nephew Li Guo to serve as a soldier, and became a general official.

Later, the Jurchens entered the Kou, and the town of Gansu also sent Qinwang soldiers. At that time, Li Zicheng was in this Qinwang army, and when this army passed through Jinxian, Yang Zhaoji, the chief soldier of Gansu, sent him to the county order office of Jinxian County to urge the grain and grass of the army.

How do you know that the magistrate of Jin County not only refused to send grain to fund the army, but also whipped the soldiers under him, just at this time, there were generals in the kingdom to deduct soldiers' salaries, the soldiers were extremely dissatisfied, the two were superimposed, the soldiers rebelled angrily, so he rebelled.

After Li Zicheng's rebellion, he first carried out activities in the Hanzhong area, and later he returned to Yan'an Mansion and threw himself under the name of Wang Zuo.

And Wang Zuohang is just within the scope of Liu Renyu's list of expeditions, which means that if Wang Zuohang is recruited, he Liu Renyu will be able to see Li Zicheng who was recruited; If Wang Zuohang refuses to be appeased, he will carry out an expedition, and perhaps he can see the captured Li Zicheng; Of course, there is also a possibility that Liu Renyu can directly see Li Zicheng's body.

Liu Renyu didn't want to see Li Zicheng's corpse yet, because he also needed Li Zicheng to cross the Jiangbei and uproot the power of the gentry, so that when he entered the Central Plains, he could implement the Juntian system.

However, considering that his two military attachés, Yang Desheng and Zhang Tieniu, have extremely high force values, but their brains are relatively scarce, and they are too brave in battle, they are afraid that they will not be able to control it when they kill the enemy, and it will be troublesome if Li Zicheng is killed.

However, he thought about it again, judging from Li Zicheng's performance in the history books of later generations, the consciousness and technology of this king to escape are all grandmaster-level, and he will definitely not be killed so easily, so he also stopped the idea of sending a subordinate to report to Li Zicheng.

And just when Liu Renyu's mind was still worried about Li Zicheng's safety, suddenly there was a night cavalry that did not collect cavalry to report: "Tell the two generals, in front of Mizhi County, there are thousands of thieves besieging the county seat, and the leader of the team is called Wang Zuohang." ”

"The king hangs on the left!?" Liu Renyu was surprised.

If you really want something, what will come. Li Zicheng, let me meet you.
