Song Xuezhu and a group of officials came to the east gate, only to see a large army coming not far away. The first military attache has big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, riding a tall horse, wearing cloth mask armor, wearing an iron hood, a goose feather knife in his waist, and a large and heavy long-handled simple knife in his hand. Behind him was a squad of infantrymen, each wearing chain mail, iron helmets, iron mesh boots on the soles of their feet, and spears on their shoulders. Behind this group of soldiers, the soldiers were tall and large, wearing full-body iron armor, like a walking iron tower. The iron armor was polished and polished, glittering in the sunlight, and they held round shields in their hands and long knives pinned to their waists. Behind them were soldiers with firearms, but the armor they wore was changed to long armor, and they wore red cherry blossom hats, and among these firecrackers there were more than 200 red-haired people. Behind the red hairy was a slip of ten cannons and ten short and small cannons.

After that, it was Song Youliang, who was only weak in his crown, wearing an auspicious cloud iron scarf with red cherry blossoms on his head, wearing a mountain armor, wearing foot guards and short boots, wearing a broad-shouldered robe over his armor, and a goose feather knife pinned to his waist, riding a high-headed horse with red maroon.

After Song Youliang, there was another group of soldiers, they wore khaki turbans, scarves of the same color around their necks, a short set of armor, red armor belts around their waists, arm guards wrapped around their arms, leggings tied around their calves, and cloth shoes on their feet. They also wore swords and guarded long baggage carts

Seeing the sergeant of Haiyang Wei dressed like this, it made Commander Feng Guan's heart sour. It is considered that he is the boss of Song Youliang, the commander of Haiyangwei, but he can't afford to do anything like Haiyangwei, but he can't afford to do it, but the subordinates of a guard commander are like this. As soon as he saw Song Xuezhu and others greeted him outside the city gate, Song Youliang also jumped off his horse early and walked in front of Song Xuezhu on foot, "Haiyang Wei commander and garrison Song Youliang, I have seen this adult~" Song Youliang and Song Xuezhu have only heard of the reputation of both sides, but they have never seen it

"A certain is the Shandong Patrol Imperial History Song Xuezhu ~ I have long heard of the name of the Haiyang God of Wealth, and when I see it today, not only is the Song Dynasty commanding the goods to profit, but also the soldiers and horses under his command are also majestic!" Song Xuezhu hurriedly gave Song Youliang a high hat to wear

Song Youliang also said: "In fact, the inspection of the imperial history is only a supervision official sent by the imperial court to the local government, responsible for inspecting the local officials, academic administration, criminal names, money valley and other things, and has nothing to do with the military. But Song Yushi still came, a person defended the city with a heart of death, for a kind of righteousness, a kind of loyalty. This spirit of loyalty and patriotism is exactly a model for young people of our generation to learn! ”

Song Youliang and Song Xuezhu praised each other sentence by sentence, and they saw that the people around them lost their temper. Xuezheng Deng Qian was on the side and coughed dryly: "Cough~cough!" The two Lord Song, it's freezing outside, let's go into the city and talk about it! Only then did Song Xuezhu lead Song Youliang into the city together.

The people of Jinan have long heard the name of Haiyang God of Wealth, and when they heard that Haiyang God of Wealth had entered the city, they all poured into the streets to watch

"Ah~ I didn't expect this Haiyang God of Wealth to be so young!"

"yes, I thought it was a half-old man!"

"I heard that this Commander Song hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet!"

"If I had a daughter, I would marry him!"

"Do people like your daughter?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my daughter? ”

"What's the noise?" Responsible for maintaining order were the subordinates of the general Ge Bottle of the Jimo Battalion in Laizhou.

During the Ming Dynasty, although the guards along the coast of Shandong were tightly structured, their stations were close to the coastline and there was a distance between them, making it difficult to provide support in many directions. In order to enhance the mobile capability of the coastal defense army and make every effort to reinforce the emergency areas when necessary, during the period from Yongle to Xuande, relatively independent coastal defense mobile units were set up in Dengzhou, Wendeng, and Jimo, which were known as the three battalions of coastal defense. The officers of the three battalions are higher in rank than the commanders of the guards, and the barracks are stationed in the center of the guards under their control, so it is convenient to command and coordinate and send out reinforcements. The three battalions have jurisdiction over all 24 guards in Shandong, namely the Moying battalion has jurisdiction over four guards in Andongwei, Lingshanwei, Aoshanwei and Dasongwei, and six thousand households in Shijiu, Xiahe, Jiaozhou, Fushan, Xiongya and Haiyang; Wendeng Camp has jurisdiction over Jinghaiwei, Chengshanwei, Weihaiwei, Ninghaiwei four guards and four thousand households; The Dengzhou battalion has jurisdiction over the three guards of Dengzhouwei, Laizhouwei, and Qingzhouwei and three thousand households.

Although the Haiyang Thousand Households Office was independently upgraded to Wei, it was still under the jurisdiction of the Jimo Battalion. Ge Zhu, like all the officers at that time, raised a group of family members for himself by deducting military salaries and other means. This group of family members wore short armor, straw sandals, and iron helmets, and they were also troops who could go out in the Denglai area. But today, when compared with Song Youliang's army, it immediately pales in comparison.

As soon as Song Youliang entered the city, he first gave everyone a dose of reassurance, "Song brought five battalions of soldiers and horses from Haiyangwei plus two hundred and fifty Hongyi mercenaries, a total of 3,200 people. There are 10 Hongyi cannons, 10 small cannons, 400 firearms, and 7,000 stones of grain and grass. It's just a little less gunpowder~"

Zheng Qian said: "Don't worry about gunpowder, Lord Song, Jinan is a big mansion, and the arsenal is full of weapons, gunpowder, and firearms, but there is a lack of soldiers!" ”

Song Youliang was surprised: "Why don't you send out your weapons and mobilize the people of the whole city to fight against the Dongyu?" ”

"Song Garrison, the imperial court has control over weapons, how can they be issued to the people casually?" Commander Feng Pavilion said

"As far as I know, the number of Donglu who went south to Shandong this time was at least 50,000, and there was Yue Tuo, who was able to fight well, under the command of Yue Tuo. The Manmeng Eight Banners under his command are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and even if they mobilize the whole city, they may not be able to win! Song Youliang said

Professor Kong Wenwu shook his head and said: "Lord Song's words are different, I will return to the destiny of heaven tomorrow, and the people's hearts will be wanted, and I am a dignified teacher." Dongyu is my Ming Dynasty Jianzhou rebel slave, slave rebel master, no name, can be described as unjustifiable. This is the opposite, the people's hearts are contrary, and the morale can rise and fall as much as a million male soldiers! ”

As soon as Song Youliang heard these pedantic words, he was so angry that he came up, "Then please ask this master to take your million male soldiers to retreat from the enemy, Song will go to Haiyang to farm!" After that, Song Youliang arched his hand towards Song Xuezhu, turned around and was about to leave

Song Xuezhu hurriedly grabbed Song Youliang, "Lord Song is angry!" He glanced at Professor Kong Wenwu fiercely, and then said with a smile: "The old master doesn't know about military affairs and talks nonsense, but the disagreement between people's hearts is indeed of great benefit to our defense of the city." For example, the ghost story that has been circulating in Jinan recently, has Lord Song ever known? ”

"Oh? The story of the ghost? Song Youliang asked with interest: "What kind of story is it?" ”

"It's like this~~" Song Xuezhu said the story of the ghost messenger vividly, when Song Xuezhu said that it was necessary to "prepare early and unite as one" to resolve the Jinan catastrophe

Song Youliang said excitedly: "Song Xun is right, as long as my people are sincerely united and united, where can Dongyu be so arrogant?" I, Song Youliang, am willing to spread my blood on the land of Jinan! ”

"Great!" Song Xuezhu praised loudly

At this time, a pawn said outside the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, the head of the Jimo battalion has come to receive the military salary of the Jimo battalion!" ”

"The military salary of the Jimo battalion? He Jimo Camp is going to Texas, why do you want military pay from my Jinan Mansion? The prefect of Jinan was surprised

How do you know that Ge Bottle followed the pawn into the flower hall, and as soon as he stepped into the flower hall with his left foot, Gou Haoshan's words happened to be heard by him, "The prefect said well, then Ge will take the brothers of the Jimo camp to Texas to find Governor Yan to ask for salary!" "Saying that, Kazuru will leave without looking back
