At the beginning of the Jingwei camp, the homeless people in the village finally had their own banner and status, but there were still a lot of things to do, and they were even busier than before.

A group of women, children and girls are embroidering a huge flag, which is handed over to them to sew according to the image of Jingwei bird painted by Liu Ce after being modified by Qin Mo Yebin, and several big flags on the other side are embroidered with the two big characters of "Jingwei", and some "Feng", "Yang", "Sun", "Liu" and other main general flags.

"Embroider the words with a majestic point." Feng Chou kept rubbing his hands back and forth among the women and children, originally he would not casually approach the place where women and children worked, but as a soldier, being able to lead a team to fight is all a dream, how can he not be excited. When Feng Chounian looked at embroidering his banner, he couldn't help sweating, "I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have a day to lead soldiers." ”

Not only him, but Sun Cheng, Yang Fan, Yang Kaishan, Chen Qing and others, and even Han Feng were a little eager to see if his banner was majestic or not, and his performance was no more elegant than Feng Chou Nian, which caused the girls to chuckle.

"Brother Qin, are you in too much of a hurry to do this?" On the sidelines of the field, Ye Bin and Qin Mo looked at the homeless people who were practicing, no, they should call soldiers now.

Ye Bin expressed his puzzlement at Qin Mo's rush to let Liu Ce establish a righteous army, although the combat power of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion is considerable, but after all, the number is too small, is this Qin brother in front of him too anxious, he is very steady on weekdays.

"I know I'm in a hurry, but I can't help it, I can't wait." Qin Mo's eyes were like torches, "The people of Hulan have almost returned to the north now, and the people of the Far East must be another miserable scene this year!" ”

"But now the Far East border pass is eight thousand miles away, we are powerless, besides, these soldiers have only been trained for a few days, and the Hulan people are not thieves, and their combat power is obvious to all." Ye Bin understood that this Brother Qin hated the alien race outside the Saiwai to the core.

"I don't understand what you said, but I really can't wait, what I have to do now is to quickly make the Jingwei Battalion famous, so that Wei Yi and Zhao Yuan attach great importance to it, so that the Jingwei Battalion can be branded with the mark of officers and soldiers and go to the Far East justifiably, and you and I will do our best to assist Liu Ce and stop the aliens from going south! To ensure the safety of the Far East, even if I can only keep one city and one county from the invasion of Hulu, I, Qin Mo, am very satisfied! Qin Mo said fiercely, revealing his hatred for the alien race outside the Saiwai Cypriot Race.

"Brother Qin, I think it's still inappropriate, even if the Jingwei Battalion becomes an official army according to what you said, how can you be sure that it will not be swallowed up by other forces? In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were not a few ordinary soldiers who formed a righteous army and were Zhao'an, but what was the result? Either he was destroyed by the Shi clan with an excuse, or he was swallowed up alive, and if he was lucky, he was a rich man or a lackey of the Shi clan's gate valve, and the nine clans who were extremely lucky were all killed, and none of them have succeeded so far, why do you think that he Liu Ce Jingwei Camp will be fine?" Ye Bin finished speaking in one breath, his face full of doubts.

"I don't know, but I have a hunch that I believe this young man must be different, and I'm willing to gamble on him!" Qin Mo's face was full of perseverance.

"Okay, then I have a question." Ye Bin said, "How can you be sure that Jingwei Camp will definitely be arranged to the Far East after Zhao'an?"

Qin Mo smiled and pretended to be profound: "Because of the Jiang family!" After speaking, he stopped talking and went back to his room to draft the military law of the Jingwei Battalion......

"Lao Gao, you think this thing is really useful?" At the stove of the blacksmith shop, countless blacksmiths were beating pieces of fine iron into a shape like a "U", and Feng Ying couldn't help but shake his head while holding a cooled thing that Liu Ce called a horseshoe or horseshoe.

Gao Laohan clamped a beaten horseshoe with long pliers, and then dipped it into the bucket on the side, and with a "swish", a puff of white smoke rose up.

"When did the owner lie to us? Look at the spears that were made, how much sharper were they than the ones that broke before? And the stirrup, why didn't I think of it before? Gao Laohan is very satisfied with his current life, and some of the things that Liu Ce thinks are really practical, so he is an unusually supportive of Liu Ce.

"It's just that such a good fine iron is used on beasts, and my heart is dripping blood." Feng Ying has now left the ranks of the army and has taken up his favorite old business, and he is also an enemy and friend with Gao Laohan, and he still has a lot of complaints about Liu Ce's beating of fine iron into horseshoe nails on the horse's hooves.

The old man skillfully hung the horse's shoe on the pole at the door of the iron shop, and said, "When did the owner of the village ever make a loss-making transaction?" Do as you are told. ”

As he spoke, a craftsman at the door took off the four horseshoes hanging on the pole, and came to a horse with four legs fixed by ropes on four stakes, and a man on the side lifted a horse's leg, and the craftsman placed one of the horse's shoes on the horse's hoof, holding it with one hand to prevent it from falling, and took four nails from the ground with the other hand and slowly pierced it into the horse's hoof, and then took the hammer and gently knocked it to fix it, and after a while, a horse's shoe was placed, and then came to the other horse's leg......

In the center of the manor, a column of soldiers maintained a military posture amid Guo Tao's scolding, raising spears and knives to follow the slogan again and again.

Over the past few days, the health of the people has improved considerably, the intensity of their training has increased, and the displaced people have become more and more vigorous as a result of the continuous exercises.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Liu Ce announced a number of military orders and regulations on the second day after the establishment of the Jingwei Battalion, and the specific points are as follows:

Those who leave the camp without permission will be killed!

Fear the enemy and not the former, slash!

Those who do not respect the order, behead!

Those who dominate people's wives and daughters, behead!

Those who are greedy for merit and rash enterprising, slash!

Those who secretly possess military funds, behead!

Those who oppress the people, behead!

Whoever colludes with the enemy bandits, slash!

……

These are the iron laws in the army, the Jingwei battalion must be kept in mind to memorize, in addition, the current army temporarily set up five flags, the main flag commands the general Liu Ce, the deputy flag Yang Kaishan, the left flag Yang Youhuai, the right flag Sun Cheng, and the Wei flag is closed for the year.

Many veterans who were not given the flag position, such as Chen Qing, Guo Tao, Yang Fan, etc., were quite disappointed, but Liu Ce promised them that they would set up a flag position for them when the Jingwei battalion was expanded in the future, provided that they quickly adapted to the experience of leading troops before that, especially the training method that was completely different from that of the local official army and the central army......

……

Meihe Town, located in the southwest of Ganzhou, is about 400 miles away from Gaoyang City, less than 200 miles away from Wanjiazhuang Jingwei Battalion, with a population of 1230,000 at its peak.

After the fall of Gaoyang, officials from all over Ganzhou were leaderless, and they surrendered one after another in order to save their lives, and Meihe Town was one of the people who took the initiative to surrender.

After the surrender of the thieves in Meihe Town, there were nearly 10,000 thieves stationed here, because they took the initiative to surrender, the damage to the town buildings was not great, and the surrendered officials were still able to maintain order in the town after handing over most of their property, so what should they do. Since Meihe Town is the closest town to Gaoyang City in the area under the jurisdiction of the thieves, the strongholds built in various places transported a large amount of food and materials to this place to hoard, and then sent them to Gaoyang City in a steady stream to stabilize the situation of the thieves in Gaoyang, and at the same time to deal with the imminent Battle of Wuliang Town.

Although the damage to the town of Mae was relatively small, it was relatively speaking, and the officials who begged to surrender were fine for the time being, but the big families and ordinary people in the town still suffered. The houses of rich families were occupied, all the money, food and materials were taken away as military salaries, and some women with good faces and figures were forcibly dragged away for the army of thieves to vent their desires...... The whole family was pulled to work as coolies, especially now that the weather is getting colder, but they still have to go hungry to carry huge stones miles away to strengthen the city walls, and under the merciless whipping of the thieves and overseers, many people die of exhaustion on the road......

In the middle of the main hall, there are four very scantily dressed women dancing in the surrounding group of thieves and the sound of music not far away, and the eyes of those thieves emit a lewd light, and they can't help but look around the exposed bodies in the hall, eager to rush forward immediately to hug them and tear off the last fig leaf to satisfy their animal desires.

Above the main hall, a sturdy thief leader was lazily leaning on the Taishi's chair, holding a delicate porcelain bowl in his hand, and someone was holding a wine jar to add wine to him.

This person is the real general in the thief battalion, named Jin Heng, eight years ago when the local army and the thieves were at war, he was the commander of any battalion, and when the thieves were swarming, he led more than 300 officers and soldiers under his command to defect and kill his own commander in a chaotic manner, resulting in a great defeat of the official army, and then the thief commander directly gave him the treatment of a sharp soldier in recognition of his merits.

Because of Jin Heng's superb martial arts, brave combat and experience in leading troops, he was soon recognized by the upper echelons as the leader, leading more than 1,000 sharp soldiers as the main force, the thief soldiers he led were notorious for their cruelty and brutality, and they repelled countless times of encirclement and suppression by local officers and soldiers.

Jin Heng was very satisfied with what he had done, and shamelessly erected a big banner, the banner "Jin Jiajun", now Gaoyang City has fallen, Jin Heng was entrusted with a heavy task by the thieves, and took the Jin Jiajun to guard this Meihe Town to ensure the safety of the grain road, because he knew the "demeanor" of the Jin Jiajun, the first Duan Hong of the Heyuan thieves and thieves came to him in person regardless of the crisis of Wuliang Town, and told him to restrain his subordinates and not to slaughter Meihe Town into a dead city, and promised Jin Heng some benefits in exchange for his nod guarantee.

"Boring!" Jin Heng threw the empty bowl in his hand on the table, looked at the crowd of people in the hall and the women dancing, and felt bored.

"General, what's wrong?" The thief who poured wine next to him was named Wang Xu, and he was also one of the first soldiers to defect with Jin Heng.

Jin Heng put his feet on the table: "I've been bored here all day long, what officers and soldiers are there nearby?" ”

Wang Xu hurriedly ran to Jin Heng's feet and hammered his legs and said: "General, you don't know, now the border of Ganzhou has long been the world of our righteous army, so what other officers and soldiers are there?" ”

Jin Heng held his hands behind his head and enjoyed it very much: "It's still good before, Lao Tzu can kill whoever he wants, but now it's better to let Lao Tzu stay in such a broken place, and you can't do this and that, this is to suffocate me!" ”

When Wang Xu heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "General, have you forgotten, why did we rebel in the first place, wasn't it that those dog officials deducted military salaries and couldn't survive?" Now that the hard days have passed, why are you uncomfortable. ”

Wang Xu said and glanced at the officials in the corner of the lobby who were huddled in a ball, his face was full of pride, this group of dog officials didn't expect to have today.

Jin Heng put his feet down from the table and shouted: "Wu Liwen, crawl over to Lao Tzu!" ”

After speaking, an official in his forties trembled for a while, and then crawled to his knees under the main hall.

"Is the winter cotton clothes and quilt that Lao Tzu ordered you to pay half a month ago ready?"

Wu Liwen heard the cold sweat behind him, and said stiffly: "General Qiyu, the amount of cotton wool and cloth you ordered the small ones to prepare is too large, and the small ones really can't get together so much in a short time!" ”

"You're so daring!" Jin Heng yelled, and the entire hall was silent for a while, and everyone below looked at Jin Heng and Wu Liwen.

Jin Heng continued: "You said before that the amount was too large to be collected in a short time, so Lao Tzu gave you half a month, why haven't you made it up yet!" Don't you take my words as the wind in your ears! ”

Wu Liwen immediately kowtowed: "General! In recent years, there has been a great drought in all parts of the river, and the yield of crops and crops is only 30% of the harvest year, and most of the villages and manors near the Meihe River have no harvest, or the people have escaped the war and no one has gone to the field, and there are no 20,000 sets of cotton clothes and quilts! ”

When Wang Xu heard this, he immediately shouted: "You dare to use strong words!" My righteous army saved the people and water and fire from the exploitation of the government and the soldiers, don't you be grateful to Dade and do your best to serve the righteous army? I think you're clearly slacking and lazy! I have no intention of raising winter supplies for my rebels! ”

Wang Xu's words of "righteous words" won the applause of the thieves present, and Jin Heng nodded incessantly, praising Wang Xu for his future, but he was so frightened that Wu Liwen, who was kneeling in the hall, did not dare to breathe.

Jin Heng changed his sitting posture, straightened his clothes and said, "Wu Liwen, do you want my tens of thousands of righteous soldiers in Meihe Town to freeze to death?" Give you another three days, and if you can't get together the supplies, Lao Tzu will definitely cut off your head and hang it on the street to show the public! ”

Wu Wenli was sweating profusely and hurriedly bowed down and said, "General! I really can't make it up! After saying that, he cried loudly.

"Wu Wenli!" Jin Heng was furious, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now!" ”

Before Wu Wenli could say more, another official who usually had a close relationship with Wu Wenli climbed out and knelt beside him to plead: "General, don't embarrass Lord Wu anymore, he really can't get together so many clothes and quilts......"

"What are you? Did Lao Tzu let you speak? Jin Heng's eyes showed a fierce light, "You still have a bunch of things, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you later!" Give me ...... now."

"General!" The official suddenly interrupted Jin Heng's words, got up and said categorically, "The amount of materials you need is really huge, please forgive me for not being able to get them together!" I hope that the general will take back his life! ”

"Lao Zhang...... Don't talk nonsense......" Wu Wenli hurriedly pulled the corner of the official's clothes in fright, signaling him not to say any more, so as not to anger Jin Heng.

Seeing this, Jin Heng didn't laugh angrily, but the murderous intent hidden in his smile was already very obvious: "Okay, okay, Zhang Yuancheng fornicated with the official mansion and wanted to put my righteous army and water and fire, but he was discovered by General Ben and killed on the spot according to the military order!" Wang Xu......"

Everyone was shocked, Zhang Yuancheng was also stunned, a trumped-up charge, looked at Wang Xu sneering towards him, knowing that he couldn't survive today, so he took a deep breath and scolded Jin Heng: "Thief!" Sooner or later, you will be punished! I'm waiting for you on Huangquan Road! ”

Suddenly, Zhang Yuancheng felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw an iron whip inserted into his heart, piercing his body, and splashing blood on several women behind him, causing a burst of screams and crying, Zhang Yuancheng watched Jin Heng slowly fall to the ground with round eyes.

"Long-winded!" After Jin Heng threw the iron whip at Zhang Yuancheng, he said casually, and then got up and said to everyone: "See! This is the end of disrespect to my rebels! There was a burst of cheers in the hall, and Wang Xu forcefully pulled the iron whip out of the corpse and handed it back to Jin Heng.

Jin Heng wiped the iron whip with a clean muslin cloth, looked at the women who were hugging each other in fright, and then waved his hand in disgust, and immediately the thieves roared and pounced desperately, and soon there was a tearing of clothes and a terrible cry of women......

Wu Liwen was so frightened when he saw Zhang Yuancheng die next to him, and the lewd laughter of the thieves behind him was mixed with the cries of the girl. After a while, a pair of big feet appeared in his sight, and he slowly looked up, only to see Jin Heng standing in front of him, still wiping the blood on the iron whip......

"Mayor Wu." Jin Heng leaned down and said, "Zhang Yuancheng is right, I seem to be really embarrassed for you......"

"No, no, no, the subordinate must live up to the general's entrustment......" Wu Wenli immediately replied, for fear that he would be killed by Jin Heng on the spot if he accidentally said a word.

"Don't worry, Mayor Wu, I also know that this thing is difficult to do, so I thought about it and gave you an idea, there are still forty or fifty thousand people in this town, I'll give you a thousand people, you know what to do......"

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand......"

Under Jin Heng's threat, Wu Wenli nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then Jin Heng laughed and led Wang Xu out of the palace, leaving a group of stunned officials and beastly thieves to vent on several women......

On a small slope a few miles outside the town, Chen Qing grabbed the reins of his horse, glared at Meihe Town, and then muttered a few words with the two Jingwei Battalion soldiers who came with him, and then turned his horse's head and rode away in the direction of Wanjiazhuang......
