The official of the thousand households actually gave the general Li Yingyuan to look at the excitement behind the crowd of soldiers for a while, and felt bored to return to his camp.

He suddenly found that Lao Tzu Li Jiucheng was sitting inside drinking a little wine.

Li Yingyuan hurriedly asked, "Dad, why did you come back so quickly, how many war horses did you buy back?" ”

Li Jiucheng is Li Yingyuan's father, he was sent to Zhangjiakou City by Sun Yuanhua some time ago and gave him 10,000 taels of silver.

Seeing Li Yingyuan coming in, Li Jiucheng beckoned his son and said, "Come, come and sit down and have a few drinks with Lao Tzu, these braised pork, dried tofu, peanuts, and shochu were all bought back when Lao Tzu just passed by Shiliji." ”

Li Yingyuan hadn't had a chance to eat meat and drink wine for a long time, and he didn't politely grab a piece of meat and put it in his mouth After taking a sip of wine, he clicked his lips and said: "The Shandong people in Shiliji are still willing to sell things to our Liao soldiers!" ”

"Lao Tzu is alone, he doesn't make a sound at all when he buys things with money, what's the difference between him and the guards here?"

"Damn, it's getting more and more unpleasant these days, those Shandong people dare to bully into the barracks, I estimate that there may be something big."

Li Jiucheng said: "Big deal? It's time for something big. Ying Yuan, when will the days when we, the Liao soldiers, are not ghosts or ghosts? Lao Tzu is ready to change his way of life and take the lead to do something big. ”

Li Yingyuan had already drunk a few glasses of wine, and when he had a sense of wine, he suddenly laughed and said, "Stop, stop, change the way of living?" How many times have you said that? When exactly did it change? Event? In addition to drinking, gambling, and fighting, when have you ever done anything serious? ”

was despised by his son, Li Jiucheng, who was full of poisons, looked embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "Ying Yuan, this time Lao Tzu has to change his way of living, because Lao Tzu can't live anymore." ”

Li Yingyuan was full of excitement, he immediately realized what was wrong, and said angrily:

"Dad, are you in trouble? Did you lose the money you gave to the city horse? ”

Li Jiucheng smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't lose it all, don't you still have the money to buy wine and meat to entertain your son!" ”

Li Yingyuan almost fainted and asked, "How much silver do you still have in your hand?" ”

"There should be a dozen taels!"

Li Yingyuan forgot for a while that it was Lao Tzu who was pit him, grabbed the placket on Li Jiucheng's chest and roared: "What? 10,000 taels of silver is spent and only a dozen taels are left? You're going to die! ”

Li Jiucheng hurriedly covered his son's mouth and said, "Speak lightly, don't be quiet." Now that the camp is in such chaos, it is a golden opportunity, as long as you and my father and son raise their arms, it is estimated that half of the brothers here will follow us. ”

Li Yingyuan asked rhetorically: "Dry?" Do? Do you want to mutiny? Aren't you afraid of the Nine Clans? ”

Li Jiucheng said viciously: "I'm afraid of a bird, Lao Tzu is going to die anyway, take the brothers to make trouble, and first trick everyone to cut down the bastard bastard of Wuqiao, so that those dogs know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and that no one can be despised if they have a knife in their hands." ”

Li Yingyuan is only less than twenty years old, he has been aggrieved these days, and like other Dongjiang soldiers, he has a grudge against everyone here in Wuqiao, and when he saw that Lao Tzu was desperate and ready to kill and rebel, he stopped talking nonsense and took the initiative to give advice.

The father and son took the opportunity to fan the flames, and the effect was remarkable, and the Liao soldiers, who were already excited, saw that Li Jiucheng, the capital secretary, and Li Yingyuan, the official of the thousand households, sympathized with their plight, supported them, and taught the locals in Wuqiao some lessons, and immediately supported the Li family and the father and son.

On the same day, Li Jiucheng brought more than 100 outlaws with knives and guns in their hands to rush into the generals' line, Kong Youde did not expect that his subordinates dared to rebel against him, and he was controlled by Li Jiucheng's people without defense.

In fact, these family members supported the rebellion and robbery, and they were angry with each other, and finally accepted the court's recruitment.

Just about half a month after Zhang Chun was annihilated in Changshan, Li Jiucheng bewitched less than 1,000 Liao soldiers to break through Wuqiao, a small county town in the hinterland of Shandong where only the government had no army to garrison, killing corpses everywhere and robbing a lot of money.

Li Jiucheng has the potential to be a professional rebel, he pulled up the banner to recruit rebellion, first released hundreds of prisoners in Wuqiao Prison, and then brought the green-skinned gangsters in this area to rob the house.

In just one day, Li Jiucheng's men and horses have more than doubled, there are 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 infantry, everyone has weapons, and the vast majority of cavalry has armor.

A chicken sparked a rebellion that shook the Ming dynasty, and historically, this rebellion lasted for a year and a half, and was about to erode Denglai, and even the hinterland of Shandong was ravaged.

Hou Jin Jun sat at home and did nothing, and in vain he got the unattainable sailors, the strong ships and cannons, the professional artillerymen, and the full set of craftsmen carefully managed by Sun Yuanhua to make firearms, and some of these craftsmen were able to cast cannons and make birds.

The Ming Dynasty lost tens of thousands of troops, 120,000 civilians were slaughtered, countless displaced people were displaced, and the loss of warships, artillery, and food was not counted.

Since then, Denglai has been barren, the Dongjiang River has been shaken, and the sea containment has completely lost its effect, but it was attacked and harassed by Kong Youde with the later "Tianyou Army" along the Ming Dynasty, and Lushunkou was lost in a few days, and then Dongjiang Town was destroyed.

At this time, Huang Han was fighting in southern Liaoning, and the army was in Jinzhou at the time, so I am afraid that he could not afford to send troops to Denglai, and Huang Han was the chief military officer of Jizhen who had just taken the position and had not yet performed his duties, and without the order of the imperial court, he had no right to go to Denglai to participate in the war.

The weather in Xiaoice River is really cold, it only began to snow in Liaodong at the end of September, although the impact of the marine climate in Jinzhou is not much better, and in early October, the temperature at night is below freezing.

The cotton armor, cotton clothes and gloves produced in Tiger's Den City were sent to the front line in Jinzhou, and a large number of ordinary people took boats from the port of Wolf's Den Fort to Funingwei for resettlement.

For the time being, they will be given jobs mainly with heavy manual labor, such as opening iron mines, digging coal, operating manpower to hammer iron, crushing stones and burning cement, and so on.

In order to create more employment opportunities and effectively use the abundant high-quality coal resources, a large number of brick kilns, magnetic kilns, glass kilns and cement kilns came into being.

These labor-intensive industries have absorbed too many strong laborers of men and women, and even the elderly and children can get ten or ten yuan a day of pocket money by working in the brick factory.

Huang Han obtained the development funds through robbery and continuously injected them into the "Red Flag Army" system to increase liquidity.

During this time, the factories and workshops invested in this period have begun to make profits, and even vermicelli and vermicelli are in short supply, and the three grades of high-grade liquor have been sold well in Gyeonggi, and the next step is to develop the Namzhili market.
