"It turned out to be him~!" Salt Yun made Tang Shixiong say this in detail, and Song Youliang remembered this person.

Li Qingshan can be regarded as the second in Song Jiang, and Li Qingshan is supported as the leader. After that, he established an establishment in the ranks of the uprising, and Feng Dongping Xiucai Wang Linchen was appointed as a military advisor, and martial arts master Ai Shuangshuang was the generalissimo. In addition, it was also divided into Marshal Heihumiao, Marshal Linhuji, Marshal Daijiamiao, Marshal Liangshan, Marshal Orangutan Tun (now Xingtun), Marshal Hualandian, Marshal Xiao Pikou, and Marshal Youhuanshan. The area of activity of the rebel army is along the canal north to Linqing and south to Shahedian in Yangzhou. After Li Qingshan's uprising, his main activity was to hijack Caoyun. Since the Yuan Dynasty dug the Huitong River, Liangshan has become a necessary place for north-south transportation. There are locks in Ansan and other places in the northeast of Yangsan, where passing ships must wait in line to cross the lock, and controlling the Ansan lock is equivalent to controlling the Cao Road, and it is very convenient to rob in Yangsan. Regarding Li Qingshan's robbery, "History of the Ming Dynasty • Zhang Guowei Biography" contains: "In the summer of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Shandong thieves rose, and the thieves Li Qingshan were tens of thousands. "The Barnyard Sayings" records the robbery in more detail, "Liangshan is full of water, the irrigation is quite deep, and the Cao Canal is dense, the Ansan area is southeast of the horn, the grain ship is to the Zhenghou Gate, the sluice level is continuous, the inside is the tail, the Weihe River is dry and waiting for the water to be stored in the canal, and the boat is released." The grain ship is set on the side of Liangshan, and the Qingshan order is from the thief Suomi, each ship counts the stone, and the goods it carries are light and heavy, and even takes three, and the arrow is released, and there is no one who dares to cross. ”

The purpose of his uprising was not to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but to seek an official position for himself by taking the road of "killing people and setting fires to be recruited".

Since this is the case, Song Youliang has a bottom in his heart, he said: "After all, this is my big day, it is not easy to see blood and killing, it is better to send someone up the mountain, know the righteousness, let him repent and return the robbed emperor." If he is obsessed, we will gather troops to destroy him. ”

Before Song Youliang's words fell, another official came to Song Xuezhu's side and leaned over to whisper. Although the little official's voice was very low, Song Youliang had learned to read lips in his previous life, and he still knew what the little official said. It turned out that in order to coerce the Ming court and achieve the goal of recruiting peace, Li Qingshan stepped up his military offensive. On November 16, he divided his troops to attack the cities of Shouzhang, Yuncheng, Dongping, and Zhangqiu, and killed Si Zhiliang and Qian, the capital of the Anshan camp. At the same time, the looting activities were intensified.

"Is this worth it?" Song Xuezhu took the case, "First rob the emperor, and then rob the boat." Song Xuezhu was a little excited, after all, Li Qingshan's behavior became more and more arrogant. And it happened during the period when a prince married his daughter, which made Song Xuezhu very faceless

The commander of the capital, Feng Guan, got up and said: "This damn thief is so presumptuous, Master Junma, don't worry, this commander immediately raised troops to set foot on Liangshan." ”

"The water surface around Naliang Mountain is vast, and there are many river forks, and I have trained a group of sailors in Haiyangwei, and the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is a while." Song Youliang said

Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy of Shandong Zuobu, said: "Is this appropriate? Junma's newlywed Yan'er is going to fight in a battle, so that the people of his province will know, and they think that I have no one in Shandong. ”

"That's right." Feng Guan said: "If the county master can trust Feng, he can send a general to command the sailor and go into Liangshan with Feng to suppress the bandits." ”

Song Youliang secretly thought in his heart that he had been promoted like an elevator in recent years, and he couldn't steal all the limelight by himself, so Song Youliang nodded, he turned his head and asked Pan Yuzhu: "Who is suitable for the commander of the water division?" ”

Pan Yuzhu frowned slightly, and then replied, "Gan Hui can." ”

"Gan Hui?" Song Youliang was a little surprised, "Is he from Fujian?" Why haven't I heard of this guy all along? ”

Pan Yuzhu replied: "Yes, he is the leader of the navy newly recruited from Fujian by the treasurer of Gu Yushan. This person is not very old, but he is capable and resolute, and his martial arts are excellent, and he is a person from Dongyuan Village, Haicheng County. His parents died early, and his family was poor. As a man who values righteousness and is a chivalrous man, he is good at fighting grievances, so he was persecuted by the patriarch and wandered in Zhangzhou, Shima, Haicheng and other places, and did not dare to live in the township for a long time. The ancient shopkeeper went to Fujian to recruit a navy for you, so Gan Hui led a group of little brothers to join the Haiyang Guard Navy. ”

"Okay, send Gan Hui to lead 500 sailors to follow Feng's command to attack the Liangshan bandits." Song Youliang said: "However, you~" Song Youliang pointed at Pan Yuzhu, "You are the main general, and he is the deputy general." ”

In 1640, on the seventh day of February in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu, the chief military officer, and Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi, defeated Zhang Xianzhong in the Agate Mountain of Taiping County. At that time, the rebel army was divided into three routes, Zhang Xianzhong on the west road according to Chu Shujie, Geli eye on the east road, Cao Wei on the south road, and Guotianxing. Yang Sichang was stationed in Xiangyang, and Zuo Liangyu was ordered to suppress Zhang Xianzhong. Zuo Liangyu led the army to fight with Zhang Xianzhong at Zhipingguan (west of Xing'an County, Shaanxi), and Xianzhong was defeated. Zuo Liangyu, please enter Shu from Hanyang Xixiang to chase him. Yang Sichang ordered Zuo Liangyu to send a partial general to chase after him, but Zuo Liangyu did not obey. When Zhang Xianzhong moved his army to Jiu Rolling Ping, he saw that Agate Mountain was steep and would be based on it. Zuo Liangyu's army went to the bottom of the mountain, and Zhang Xianzhong had occupied the top of the mountain, Zuo Liangyu was divided into three roads, about to hear the drum and go up, after a long battle, Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated. Zuo Liangyu's soldiers swept away the king of the earth, Cao Wei, the king of the white horse, Deng Tianwang and other leaders of the rebel army of sixteen people. Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubine were captured, and Zhang Xianzhong fled into Xing and returned to the mountains. Soon into Xing'an, Fangxian border, the official army is afraid of the mountain danger and does not attack, Zhang Xianzhong lurked in the dense forest, bribed the mountain people to buy salt and rice, the mountain people became the eyes and ears of the righteous army, Zhang Xianzhong received scattered soldiers, and the momentum was revived.

Just when Zuo Liangyu Agate Mountain defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Feng Guan's suppression of bandits in Liangshan was also going very smoothly. Feng Guan first commanded the infantry to sweep along the Black Tiger Temple, Linhuji, Daijia Temple, Orangutan Tun, Hualandian, Xiaopikou, and Youhuan Mountain like a comb. All the marshals of Li Qingshan's division were killed, and they fled into Liangshan Shan Zhai one after another. Immediately afterwards, the navy fought very bravely under the leadership of Gan Hui, and defeated Li Qingshan's naval army many times in the waters near Liangshan, so that more than 40,000 people of the Liangshan army led by Li Qingshan gathered in Liangshan Village, with neither food and grass nor reinforcements, and it was only a matter of time before the village was breached. Li Qingshan had no choice but to surrender to Feng Guan.

February 18, 13th year of Chongzhen, early in the morning

On this day, Song You got up early in the morning, planning to enter the Dewang Mansion to see his wife, the lord of Laiyang, Zhu Huanting, who had not seen him for many days. Xu Erduo, who was originally following him like a shadow, was inconvenient to continue to follow because he had a military position. One of the current two personal guards is named Guan Yunbao, a native of Shanxi, who claims to be a descendant of Guan Yu, but there is no way to verify whether it is or not; The second person is named Zhang Feihu, a native of Hebei, who claims to be a descendant of Zhang Fei, and there is also no evidence. It's just that the two of them have been in Haiyangwei for a long time, and their martial arts are good, and they are also square people, so they took over Xu Erduo's position and became Song Youliang's personal guard

All the way into the Dewang Mansion, all the servants he saw along the way greeted him attentively. Song Youliang is not stingy, but anyone who salutes him will be rewarded with five taels of silver as soon as he raises his hand. All the way from the gate to the county lord's inner palace, more than a hundred taels have been rewarded unconsciously.

"Yo~ It's the county horse!" An old palace maid in her forties, wearing light makeup, suddenly appeared in front of Song Youliang, "The slave maid has asked for peace to the county master." The old palace maid intervened and saluted

"It turned out to be Aunt Rong." Song Youliang smiled and stretched out his hand to hand over five taels of silver

Aunt Rong just smiled and bowed her head, neither accepting the money nor giving way. The old lady here was still there like a stick, and a few eunuchs ran over and stood in a row beside Aunt Rong, "The little one is here to see the county master, please press the county master." ”

"Master Gunma!" Aunt Rong said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that you are the God of Wealth in Haiyang, just giving a reward like this is too damaging to your name." ”
