Zhang Guan was also very busy at this time, because more than 15,000 people were crammed in at once, and he had to arrange tuntian, housing, food, registration, etc., so that he didn't have time to go back to see his fifth brother Zhang Bin.

Just when he was busy, the guards outside suddenly said loudly: "Report, the commander envoy, Qianhu Xie Hui asks to see." ”

Xie Hui is also a big friend who has played together at Dajin, and the relationship between them is excellent, unlike others, no matter how busy he is, he will see him.

Hearing the rumor outside, Zhang Guan immediately dropped the brush in his hand and said loudly: "Let him in." ”

Soon, Xie Hui ran in and saluted: "Second Shao, I found a few good seedlings." ”

It turned out to be this, just a few good seedlings, Dongfan is not uncommon like this at this time, and it's not a big deal, Zhang Guan picked up the brush and said lightly: "Oh, what's a good way?" ”

Xie Hui immediately introduced: "They are all less than twenty years old, and they have almost completed ten laps in about half an hour during the test, and they have all read very well and studied the art of war!" ”

Zhang Guan originally wanted to chat with Xie Hui while handling official business, but when he heard Xie Hui's introduction, he was not calm, there were still such talents in the peasant army!

He immediately put down the brush, got up and said, "Go, take me to see." ”

At this time, Li Dingguo and others were already commanding the small school yard of the Yamen to be neatly lined up, although they were not very old, they were very imposing, and they were all heroic, and they were not ordinary people at first glance.

Zhang Guan was actually not sure whether to cultivate these "anti-thieves" at this time, because he had not communicated with Zhang Bin yet, and the order handed down by Zhang Bin was only to disperse the selected soldiers to the original old team, so that the veterans could supervise and teach them well.

What to do now, he paced back and forth in front of these people twice, as if to observe them, but in fact he was thinking about how to "cultivate" them.

He thought for a while and still couldn't make a decision, at this time he already wanted to go back and ask Zhang Bin's opinion, but just having good physical strength, good reading, and studying the art of war didn't seem to be enough, because Dongfan Jiuwei also had some such talents, he thought about it and simply asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Sun Kewang, because he was the most "authoritative" among these people.

Sun Kewang was cowardly at this time, and he dared to say two cruel words behind his back, and in front of the real Ming army generals, he was so nervous that he didn't know how to speak.

Everyone looked at him like this, and their eyes turned to Li Dingguo again.

Li Dingguo immediately arched his hand and said, "My lord, we have practiced martial arts for a few years. ”

Zhang Guan looked at him in surprise, this little guy is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he has practiced martial arts for a few years, could it be that they have been practicing martial arts since what age?

Of course, this is not the point, as long as you have practiced martial arts, Zhang Guan nodded, beckoned to the guards next to him, and said, "Go, bring over the weapon rack that you tried out." ”

Soon, the two guards came with a rack full of weapons, but these weapons were all wooden, and if they were iron, the two guards would not be able to carry them.

Zhang Guan looked at the weapon shelf, then at these little guys, and encouraged: "Do you still have the strength to compete with others?" ”

The little guys immediately arched their hands and said, "Yes! ”

Zhang Guan nodded, waved everyone aside, and then ordered a personal guard team leader to come forward and test the martial arts of these little guys.

The squad leader threw his Qi family knife to his subordinates, and then came to the weapon rack and pulled out a Qi family knife of the same length, and then stood in the middle of the field and said loudly: "Are you on one by one, or together?" ”

The toad yawned, what a big breath, Sun Kewang is a temper tantrum, and he also has a bad habit of being jealous of others, just Li Dingguo came out and replied, he felt that he was very faceless, and at this moment the captain was there to provoke again, and he came up with this anger.

He didn't say anything, he walked directly to the weapon rack and took a knife similar to that of the squad leader, and then swept into the field and said, "Please." ”

The squad leader saw that it was just a little guy, and he didn't care much, but he didn't hurry up and played the Xin Chou knife technique, and slowly attacked it, but Sun Kewang danced the knife and slashed wildly, he used all the moves to fight on the battlefield, fast and ruthless, single-handedly, obviously much more powerful than the squad leader, and after a while, the squad leader couldn't resist it, and he stabbed him on the neck!

Zhang Guan couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart, so fierce!

Although this little guy doesn't seem to have any rules, every knife is very effective, and it is obvious that he is not practicing ordinary knife techniques, but murderous knife techniques.

Zhang Guan didn't let the squad leader go, but asked everyone to come forward one by one to compete, and as a result, the squad leader was cut down by these little guys and sweated profusely, and he didn't win a single one!

It's amazing, Zhang Guan ordered someone to recruit a small flag, but as a result, none of the small flags were won.

Hell, Zhang Guanyou ordered someone to recruit a general flag, but as a result, none of them won.

These little guys, aren't they so powerful, at this time, Zhang Guan's heart was already horrified, the low-level generals of Dongfan Jiuwei were all promoted by hard work, that is to say, these little guys can at least be a chief flag officer!

He doesn't believe in evil, and he recruited a general, now, these little guys are finally not good, they are all picked under the gun, only one named Li Dingguo actually played with a spear, and the marksmanship is better than that one, he actually overturned the general!

Zhang Guanxiao's jaw was about to fall to the ground, this little guy was so powerful, he was not even his opponent, he was itchy for a while, came to the weapon rack and took the longest Qi family saber, and fought against Li Dingguo.

After all, Li Dingguo is still young, although his marksmanship is outstanding, his strength is far inferior to Zhang Guan, and he was finally defeated by Zhang Guan by brute force.

However, Zhang Guan knows very well in his heart that over time, he is definitely not the opponent of this little guy, this little guy is a natural fierce general, if he is allowed to grow up, his strength is not even below Cao Wenzhao, Qi Yuangong and Yu Chenglong, this is really a treasure!

If these people's strength is average, he is still embarrassed to mention it in front of Zhang Bin, now, he has tested it, these little guys are very good, few people in their age group can match them, and they can grow into good generals over time, especially this Li Dingguo, who is definitely a rare peerless general.

With such a fierce general, he must ask Zhang Bin whether he should be trained and how to train him.

He hurriedly explained his official duties, and ordered the names, ages, and places of origin of these little ones to be re-recorded, and then ordered a team of personal guards, and went straight to the governor's palace of Dayuan City.

At this time, Zhang Bin was also very busy, he just went back to the backyard and hurriedly saw his two children, so he summoned Sun Chuanting to the study in the front yard to discuss secretly.

Sun Chuanting has been delayed here for a few days, and if he is delayed, he may not be able to rush to Shaanxi in time to take office, and Zhang Bin feels that his role in the future is even greater than that of Lu Xiangsheng, so as soon as he comes back, he invited Sun Chuanting to discuss secretly.

Why does Zhang Bin think that his role in the future will be greater than that of Lu Xiangsheng?

It's not that he fought more bravely than Lu Xiangsheng, nor did it mean that he necessarily surpassed Lu Xiangsheng in strategy, mainly because the troops on the three sides of Shaanxi were still quite sufficient at this time.

Historically, Sun Chuanting Chongzhen served as the governor of Shaanxi for nine years, and at that time, the three sides of Shaanxi had already existed in name only, and the border soldiers of each town were either recruited by Hong Chengchou, or were recruited by Li Zicheng, and finally Sun Chuanting only recruited more than 10,000 people in Yulin Town.

At this time, there are still a lot of border soldiers on the three sides of Shaanxi, because Hong Chengchou has not yet served as the governor of the three sides, Li Zicheng has not returned to Shaanxi to fight again, and Yang He is only mainly to recruit and appease, and he has not gathered many border soldiers at all, according to Zhang Bin's estimate, there are at least about 50,000 Qin troops on the three sides of Shaanxi at this time to recruit!

Of course, this soldier and horse is not as much as you want to recruit, the soldiers and horses are called to pay food, there is no money and no food, and if you are gathered, you will starve to death.

Zhang Bin and Sun Chuanting discussed the most is the problem of money and grain, at this time in Shaanxi, it is very difficult to raise grain and grass, even if there is money, it may not be able to buy grain, 50,000 troops, at least 50,000 stone grain will be consumed a month, and it is 600,000 stone a year, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that it is great to be able to send him 100,000 stone of grain a year, so if he does not give him support, even if the army is sufficient, he can only gather about 10,000 Qin troops, and no more, there will be no food!

Fuguang to Shaanxi this grain is not good luck, to cross Jiangxi and Huguang provinces, but also through Henan into Tongguan, in order to reach Xi'an, and Shaanxi three sides from Xi'an still hundreds of miles, this trip down, I am afraid it will take several months, more importantly, along the way is not safe, because the peasant army has entered Henan, their target is very likely to be Luoyang, not far from Tongguan, to transport grain from there, if you do not send a large army to protect, it is simply to send grain to the peasant army.

Moreover, even if Zhang Bin is willing to transport and send a large army to protect, he can gather thousands of carriages and carriages at most, and transport 10,000 stone of grain, after a few months, even the rations of the soldiers who escort the grain and grass are not enough, just like sending 10,000 people to escort the grain and grass, and after a month, the grain and grass will be eaten up by these 10,000 people, and they will not be able to reach Shaanxi at all!

The two discussed for a long time, and felt that it was safer to transport the grain to Dagu Port, through Shandong, Beizhili Damingfu, and Shanxi, and directly to Yansui Town, so that the road was more than half of the way, and most of the way was under the jurisdiction of Lu Xiangsheng, so there was definitely no problem in terms of safety.

They were discussing the issue of grain transshipment along the way, when a sudden voice came from outside: "My lord, Lord Zhang Guanzhang asks to see you." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help but be inexplicable, why did his second brother come to him at this time, could it be that the captives were making trouble?

He looked at Sun Chuanting and saw that Sun Chuanting had no opinion, so he said to the door, "Let him come in." ”

After a while, Zhang Guan walked over with excitement on his face, and when he saw that Sun Chuanting was also there, he immediately put away his casual expression, and said with a straight face: "My lord, I found a few very good seedlings." ”

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha, what are you brothers doing?" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Second brother, Brother Boya is not an outsider, you don't have to pretend, what kind of seedlings are you excited to be like this?" ”

Zhang Guan touched his head, and said with a smile: "Aren't I afraid of sweeping the face of the fifth brother, the anti-thieves sent over this time are worthy of being on the battlefield, at least more than two percent can pass the test of the soldiers, and Xie Hui also found that several little guys who are less than twenty years old are all very strong, have also read books, practiced the art of war, and their kung fu is not bad, and the general flag is not their opponent." ”

Zhang Guan didn't finish speaking in one breath, but Zhang Bin thought that this was it, there are a lot of such talents in Dongfan Jiuwei, instead of trying to train these prisoners of the peasant army, it is better to cultivate the children of Dongfan Jiuwei, he said lightly: "In this way, then cultivate it a little, and you can be a guerrilla general or something in the future." ”

Zhang Guan took a breath and said hurriedly: "I haven't finished talking yet, a few of them are not yet fifteen years old, and one of them is called Li Dingguo, who is quite powerful, he is not his opponent, I have personally played a few moves with him, if it is not for his strength, he may not have beaten him!" ”

"Oh." Zhang Bin was stunned when he heard this, he was not yet fifteen years old, and his kung fu was on par with his second brother, this is amazing, his second brother Zhang Guan's ability He is quite clear, if it is better than kung fu, there are few people in the current general army of the Ming Dynasty who are stronger than him, a little guy who is less than fifteen years old is so powerful, and when he grows up, he will have it.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered, Li Dingguo, why is the name so familiar, it can't be Li Dingguo, the king of Jin in the Southern Ming Dynasty!

Li Dingguo, the king of the Ming Dynasty, is a great hero, and later generations have poems to praise him: He fought for three thousand miles in his life, and he supported half of the sky with one hand.

Why do later generations respect Li Dingguo so much?

Because Li Dingguo's exploits in the anti-Qing struggle of the Southern Ming Dynasty were enough to shock the world, the number of Qing generals he killed was only comparable to that of Zheng Cheng, the king of Yanping.

According to the Qing historical manuscript, from the Later Jin Liguo to the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army killed a total of 306 generals above the sixth grade, among them, the leader of the army to kill the Qing army generals the most is Yanping King Zheng Chenggong, he alone killed 81 Qing generals above the sixth grade, and the second in the number of kills is the Jin King Li Dingguo, he killed a total of 66 Qing army generals above the sixth grade.

This is just a pure quantitative competition, if it is compared to quality, Li Dingguo even surpasses Zheng Chenggong, because he killed the two princes of Mites!

One is the third son of Huang Taiji's eldest brother Chu Ying, the prince of Heshuo of Mites, Nikan, and the other is the famous traitor, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan of Mites!

Moreover, if it weren't for the traitor's informant, another well-known traitor, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi of Mite Qing, would probably also die in his hands!

Was such a heroic figure really captured by himself by luck?

At this time, even Zhang Bin was a little uneasy, because it was described in many books, if Li Dingguo rose early, it would be enough to turn things around!

In his life, he fought for three thousand miles, and he supported half of the sky with one hand.

The two famous kings shook the world, and their military exploits were enough to shake the world.

Is this Li Dingguo really the world-famous Ming Jin King Li Dingguo in history?
