Chapter 320: "Group Buying" Prisoners of War

At the beginning of September, His Majesty the Emperor and several rulers saw the head of "Fang La" and held a grand celebration ceremony in Bianjing.

The "pride of Bianjing", who was brightly armed, brightly dressed and versatile, praised the Japanese army, and carried out archery performances, crossbow shooting performances, and formation performances on the royal street, and received large applause and thousands of catties of flowers.

His Majesty the Emperor appeared on the southern wall of the palace and announced that the royal street would be open for ten days, during which the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty could move around cheaply. Because the Yongle Dynasty has become bigger, the citizens of Bianjing, which has led to a decline in the quality of life, are boiling.

Dozens of elephants rushed from Yingtianfu to Bianjing, and under the whip of the royal beast master, they performed a wonderful performance under Bianjing.

While the citizens rushed to watch the performance, His Majesty the Emperor also led the civil and military officials to hold a ceremony to worship the sky. Then the court began a series of changes.

Jingdong Road changed its name, and the new name is "Hebei Road". Jingdong East Road was also renamed, and it was called "Shandong Road" in the future. The Sixth Northwest Road, including the Yongxing Military Road, was redivided, and the number of troops had to be re-checked.

The Great Zhou Dynasty learned enough lessons from the growth of the Yongle puppet dynasty, and now it is still facing great changes on the northern border, and has to once again implement the provincial art of war, the art of war and the law of protecting armor, which were abolished for a time. The provincial art of war eliminates the old and the weak, and the general art of war emphasizes the command power of the warriors over the troops, and the law of protecting armor can greatly increase the control of the government over the people......

At the same time, more than 1,000 miles north of Bianbo, "Yuan Donghai" marched north with hundreds of ships.

Li Bao, who is good at death, and specializes in robbing pirates for a living, crashed into Yuan Donghai's Chinese army. Li Bao only had a few small sea boats, hidden in the corners, and even rushed to Yuan Donghai's hundreds of boats in the sea fog!

Thanks to his subordinates' good boat management skills, and there was nothing in the cabin, Li Baocai relied on his familiarity with the sea conditions and ran out with most of the brothers.

Li Bao looked at the hundreds of boats heading north steadily, recalled the tall masked figure he saw just now, shook his head and said, "Who is this Yuan Donghai?" Didn't you say that you have only been in the sea for a few months, where did you come from such a big battle?! Where are they going? ”

"My lord, why don't you send someone to pursue those few ships that are not capable of doing anything?" Deng Yuanjue asked Yuan Donghai suspiciously, and Gao Yu, who was standing on the other side of Yuan Donghai, was also a little puzzled.

Yuan Donghai had just recovered from malaria and sighed:

"If you don't measure yourself, what good is it to pursue. It's a serious thing to go all out to the north, Yizhou Island is not good, we must find a new place to settle down as soon as possible. ”

"The most important thing is that Li Yifu has repeatedly reminded us to find new sources of wealth as soon as possible. It's not a long-term solution! ”

"Let's go to Goryeo first, then the Dongying Islands, and the Ryukyu Kingdom, which is divided into three...... If you can, grab a handful, and bite off a piece if you are sure! ”

Since Yuan Donghai "went to the sea" and took a new route, his mind and vision have undergone major changes. He no longer rejects some of the ideas and arrangements given by Li Yifu, but seriously thinks about the rationality and possibilities, and uses them if he thinks it suits him.

At the southeast foot of the Qinling Mountains, a new round of large-scale construction of Nanshan Fort began.

The proprietor is about to go to Suizhou City to snatch and completely destroy the exploits of Wang Liu and Wang Qi.

Many young and middle-aged people are saying goodbye to their families and friends, and many of them are about to go into battle again not long after returning to their families. When the bereavement and rewards are in place, there is no need to worry about the result of being unmotivated.

A few days after Yuan Renyu came to Nanshan Fort, he had to accept the arrangement of the public middle school to go to the abduction mountain pass on the day of the proprietor's expedition, and then decide where to settle there. At this time, he saw Shang Yunfei, who was in charge of escorting them into the mountain.

The martial artists recruited from Jiangnan were divided into two parts. Those who have not passed the test need to go out with the army and go to the mountains around Suizhou City to fight the six kings and the seven kings, Shang Yunfei, who has been tested, can stay in Qinling and settle down.

"Brother Shang's family is small, where are you going to settle down?" Yuan Ren walked out of the west gate of the small valley, walked along the mountain road, and asked Shang Yunfeidao.

Shang Yunfei scolded a few of his subordinates to be honest and alert, scratched his head and whispered:

"It's not decided yet, but there are only a few safe places, and the sisters of the Yuan family can remember it. The Kidnapper Pass is undoubtedly the safest place to be garrisoned by the Armor Neiding. Then there are the villages of Sangtsu and Namkuanpyeong, Sangjin villages can enter the Han River along the river, and Namkuanpyeong villages can control large areas of mountains......"

In fact, the information Shang Yunfei got was not very comprehensive. However, in general, it is still of great reference value for those who have just come to Qinling.

Yuan Renyu nodded again and again as she listened, thinking about which sisters to notify and let them choose the best place to go. If there are too many people who know, the inside information will lose its value, and it may even affect the elder brother of the Shang family, this kind of truth Yuan Renyu has long understood.

Zhang Yongnian and other protégés who accompanied Jiangnan did not need to participate in this battle. Many young people are waiting, how can Zhang Yongnian and others be beautiful?

The old guys and Qinling children who served under the old village owner received a letter from the old village owner, so they had to spend more time with their families in the mountains. They only thought that the old village owner couldn't stand the private complaints of the Qinling mountain people, so they didn't let them go to the battlefield as much as possible, but they didn't know that Liu Chengdong didn't want them to participate in a battle that was destined to have little merit...... The three men were not unhappy, he wanted to hold the little crybaby of a few months old all day long.

There was also a team on the march, which instantly aroused the onlookers of all the mountain people.

Zheng Tian and Zhu Wuni led more than 100 female soldiers, dressed in paper armor and holding swords, guns and shields, and marched through the south gate of the reopened Nanshan Fort. There were cheers from the side of the road, but Zheng Tian frowned.

Zheng Tian wore an oval iron helmet that seemed nondescript to outsiders, gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Wuni and the guards:

"I've seen them all. Although everyone has no malicious intent, they are all watching our liveliness, thinking that we women just can't fight! ”

"With the blessing of Lord Proprietor, the status of our Qinling women has been raised again and again, but this is unstable! Don't be fooled by the comfortable days in the Qinling Mountains, out of the gate of Nanshan Fort, the women of Da Zhou are not as good as us! ”

"In Qinling, as long as you can fight, others will look up to you. We are going to bleed this time, and we must let the men in the public middle school and the mountains see that we can also bleed desperately, and the entries written in the rules of the public middle school can be reliable! ”

Zhu Wuni, that is, Zhu Laoer's daughter, the sister of the four-eyed boy, and the sister of Zhu Xiaoba, nodded fiercely when she heard this. She felt that men were unreliable, and women could only have equal status with peace of mind if they proved that they could also fight!

On the afternoon of September 5, Li Yifu put on his helmet and armor, rode a big red horse purchased from a certain department in Tibet, and passed through Mingyueji and Xunyang City in a majestic manner.

The gentlemen and merchants who set up industries, did business, and had fun in Mingyue were shocked. This Li Yifu, Li Yuanwai, Li Chaofeng, and Li Jiazhong Xunlang are really amazing, and they actually formed a team of women's troops!

No one thinks that Li Yifu has committed a taboo, but only that Li Yifu is absurd. Because in the Great Zhou system, there is really no explicit provision that there can be no women in the township soldiers. Of course, the people who hate and covet Nanshan Fort don't care about 3721, they abuse and slander in restaurants, by the river, and in secret rooms.

"What is this Li Village Leader going to do, he brought more than a hundred strong women to the front line, is he going to disrupt the military morale of the six kings and the seven kings?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a stigma to protect yourself, and it's not certain. This Li Shantou is too cunning! ”

"Boss Li is not easy to deal with, let's take a slow time and watch him fight with the Jiangnan people. Not to mention anything else, I don't know where Li Yifu found so many tall and strong women, and the weapons in his hands ......"

Li Yifu was not the only township soldier who rushed to Suizhou City, nearly 30 teams and 20,000 township soldiers gathered in Suizhou City one after another. Those who are far away and cannot take the waterway can leave ten days and half a month early, and those who are close and can use the river to save their foot strength can leave later.

The emergence of a large number of township soldiers in the past to rob the forbidden army and the Xiang army is mainly due to the blind game of all forces on the southwest road of Beijing.

Liu Chengdong, who had complicated terrain in the mountains, lacked money and food, and had limited control over other troops, resolutely did not send troops, but let his son-in-law, who was proficient in mountain warfare, deal with Wang Liu and Wang Qi.

Officials, scholars, and wealthy businessmen were not happy. What do you mean? Let your son-in-law take the credit for himself, and then make a fortune out of the captive, right?

Don't say yes!

Merchants who needed more hard labor, economic officials who wanted to share more credit, township soldiers from all over the country who wanted a piece of the military exploits, and gentry who did not want to see Li Yifu continue to make great contributions joined forces, and soon made the pacification envoys and other officials on Jingnan Road compromise.

Anyway, the township soldiers are cheap to use, and many local officials who originally cried poor even took the initiative to post money to let the township soldiers "go out", and the appeasement envoys and other senior officials were naturally happy to push it.

To some extent, the upcoming war aimed at completely exterminating Wang Liu and Wang Qi has become a "group buying operation".

Everyone is in a hurry, so hurry up!

On September 10, Li Yifu led 1,000 people to Suizhou City, which was heavily armed and chaotic and noisy.

The marching route set by Li Yifu was to take the waterway first and go ashore in Xiangyang City. Then go to Zaoyang City, and go to Suizhou City through Suixian County.

While marching on the road, Li Yifu deliberately accelerated the pace of the march in order to test the results of the training in the past two months. As a result, when he traveled more than 80 miles a day, few people were left behind, which made Li Yifu very relieved. After many battles and countless resources, it is really tearful to finally have the appearance of a combatable army.

Liu Decheng and Zhang Zhanjun, two protégés, did not go to Jiangnan to make meritorious contributions, but played an important role in Jingzhou. In order to compensate them, Li Yifu specially told them to collect more information on Wang Liu's and Wang Qi's activities in the mountains, and brought the two of them with him when he sent out his troops, obviously to let them make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Bo and Cheng Jianghai, the two private leaders, also followed to Suizhou City. These two guys have been dividing and wooing Wang Liu's subordinates for several months, in order to announce to the people of Qinling Mountains that the private people are not eating rice!

Liu Sheng insisted on following Li Yifu. He asked his niece Liu Xiaoci and knew that Liu Xiaoci was not wronged, and he must protect Li Yifu in close proximity to feel at ease. In addition, his eldest brother was also in Suizhou City, and he strongly demanded that Li Yifu have no choice but to take him with him.

Yang Yingdong took 300 people who changed into paper armor and kept a low profile, "just in case". Da Niu did not leave Li Yifu's side, and together with thirty ironclad guards, he ensured the safety of the proprietor.
