The uprising against the Manchu Qing in Shandong was very large, sweeping the entire Denglai and two prefectures, and Li Yanzhi led the villagers of Jiaodong to respond, and Jiaozhou, which was less than 100 miles away from Jiaodong, was now in the hands of the righteous army and was facing the attack of the Qing army.

"At present, Jiaozhou is still in the hands of Zhao Yingyuan's righteous army, but Ke Yongsheng, the chief soldier of Jiaojiao Town, has surrounded Jiaozhou with his troops, and led the township soldiers to reinforce Jiaozhou, but was intercepted by Ma Guang, the garrison of Jiaodong." Li Yanzhi told Wu Ping about the situation and asked Wu Ping again to bring reinforcements. Because Li Yanzhi knew that relying on his hundreds of people alone was really a drop in the bucket. Although Wu Ping's army was small, it was the elite soldiers of the Duke of Qi, and it was not the same as the rebel army composed of these peasants.

In the face of Li Yanzhi's request, Wu Ping was very hesitant, because he knew that he had only more than 600 people under his command, and only 500 troops could be brought out. If the damage is severe, I am afraid that there will not be enough manpower to drive the seagoing vessels. And the task given to him by Qi Guogong was to train the fleet on ocean voyages, and he did not let himself move.

"There are only a few hundred of my subordinates, even if I go to Jiaozhou, I'm afraid it won't help." Wu Ping subconsciously shirked.

"The general's words are wrong, although your subordinates are few, but they are elite soldiers trained by the Duke of Qi, and in the name of the Duke of Qi as the foundation, he will definitely be able to summon an army of tens of thousands of people in a few days, and there will be no problem in rescuing Jiaozhou."

Seeing that Wu Ping hesitated and refused to take risks, Li Yanzhi persuaded again. However, he did not ask Wu Ping to send troops directly to Jiaozhou, but suggested acting under the banner of Qi Guogong.

"The Manchu Tatars promoted shaving their hair and making it easy to obey, in a vain attempt to make my Ming people become barbarians, and the land of Shandong has been robbed by the Manchu Tatars many times, and hundreds of thousands of people have been plundered to slavery outside the customs.

Qi Guogong is a hero who resisted the Qing Dynasty, and has repeatedly defeated the Manchu Tartars, as long as he is in his name, the righteous people everywhere will definitely look to the scenery, and there is no problem in expelling the Manchu Tartars from Shandong to restore the land of Denglai Qingzhou! ”

Li Yanzhi's words were impassioned and passionate, and his words were full of absolute confidence, which was even Wu Ping's heart.

Wu Ping himself is Chen Yue's family member, and his qualifications in the Qi State system are very old, plus his sister Wu Wan'er is Chen Yue's pillow person, and belongs to Chen Yue's trusted henchmen, and is now Yang Zhengping's deputy, in charge of the very important water camp. But for a long time, Wu Ping himself has not had a bad record, and even Jin Xin and Li Yi can't compare to him in terms of credit, so his status on weekdays is really embarrassing. If so, if you take this opportunity to show your skills and make a vigorous event in this Shandong land, you will inevitably become famous all over the world, and no one will dare to say anything to yourself from now on!

At this moment, Wu Ping's heart moved.

On that day, Wu Ping played the banner of Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, and took Li Yanzhi as the commander to join the army, spread the message to the Quartet, and ordered the righteous people from all over the country to gather in Jiaodong. The name of Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, resounded all over the world, and heard that the Duke of Qi sent people to conquer Shandong, and the squires from all over Jiaodong who were eager to Daming responded with their servants Zhuang Ding, cutting wood for spears, and using sickles and axes as weapons, and the people came to Jiaodong.

For these squires, it turned out that the Ming army was defeated by the Qing army and did not dare to make any changes, but Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, was different, that was a hero who repeatedly defeated the Manchu Tartars, since he sent troops to conquer Shandong, it means that the imperial court's Northern Expedition again is close at hand, and with the Duke of Qi as the commander, it is not a problem to defeat the Manchu Tartars and recover the old land!

Wu Ping didn't expect this result at all, and in just one day of raising the banner, the number of righteous people gathered on the shore of Jiaodong has reached as many as five or six thousand.

With the assistance of Li Yanzhi, Wu Ping replaced Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, to appoint the leaders of the rebel armies from all walks of life, and according to the number of righteous people he led, he was appointed with the military posts of Qianhu, guerrilla, and general. The leaders of each road led their subordinates, and Wu Ping commanded the armies as the commander-in-chief, gave the names and banners to the ministry, and allocated garrisons for them to station.

By the third day, more than 20 righteous people had gathered, with a total number of more than 10,000. Wu Ping ordered the whole army to set off and march into Jiaozhou.

The siege of Jiaozhou was the army of Ke Yongsheng, the general soldier of Jiaozhen, with a total strength of more than 8,000 people, while there were only 3,000 righteous troops in Jiaozhou City, led by Zhao Yingyuan.

Zhao Yingyuan turned out to be a general of the Shun army, and after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he sent officials and soldiers to various places, and it was at that time that Zhao Yingyuan came to Shandong.

But soon Li Zicheng was defeated by Wu Sangui in collusion with the Qing army, and the squires in Shandong had long been dissatisfied with the Shun army's policy of recovering stolen goods and subsidy, and they took the opportunity to launch a riot, killing the officials appointed by the Shun army, and raising the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the situation changed drastically, and after the Manchus occupied the north, they sent official troops to various parts of Shandong and Hebei, and most of the prefectures and counties in Shandong also surrendered to the Manchus. Zhao Yingyuan had no choice but to be the king of the mountain in Laoshan.

Another year passed, the Qing army was defeated, coupled with the dissatisfaction of the Ming people in the world provoked by the Manchu court's shaving order, and the people in Shandong were surging, Zhao Yingyuan took the opportunity to lead the troops out of Laoshan, gathered the people under the banner of Fuming, and captured Jiaozhou City.

Zhao Yingyuan, who was born in the Shun army, is still very capable, with the 3,000 people gathered to defend Jiaozhou under the attack of Ke Yongsheng's 8,000 army, and sent people to various places to ask for help, and now he is finally waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

In the face of more than 10,000 mobs under the banner of Chen Yue, the chief soldier of the Qing Dynasty, Ke Yongsheng, was very unimpressed. Because he had not received any news of the Ming Dynasty's second northern expedition, he did not believe that the army of Qi Guogong would cross the vast area occupied by the Qing army and suddenly come to Jiaozhou.

Coming from the sea assault, forgive the people at this time for not having such a rich imagination!

Ke Yongsheng immediately left the deputy general with 3,000 people to continue the siege, and he took 5,000 main forces to meet the mob army. As soon as the two sides met, the vanguard of the mob army was defeated by the Qing army, which made Ke Yongsheng laugh, and when he ordered the whole army to attack and defeat the mob army in one fell swoop, violent artillery rang out one after another, and the Qing army that was attacking fell to the ground like wheat cut by a sickle.

Ke Yongsheng's smile immediately froze on his face, he could hear the sound of a tiger squatting cannon, and it was not one but dozens of guns firing at the same time, Ke Yongsheng could think of the scene where his subordinates fell one after another under the barrage like a raging storm.

The tiger squatting cannon sounded, followed by the sound of "bang bang bang", although the sound was not dense but staggered, this is the majestic sound that can only be emitted by hundreds of fire guns firing one after another. When did the mob actually have tiger squat artillery fire, and there are so many!

At this moment, Ke Yongsheng's face changed greatly, and he knew that maybe it was really Chen Yue's army that was coming!

Before he could give the order to withdraw his troops, the Qing army that attacked retreated like a tide, followed by a roaring mob army, Ke Yongsheng immediately turned around and ran.
