Liu Zeqing has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he has been serving as the chief soldier of Shandong over the years, burning, killing and looting in the territory, and has not experienced any decent wars, so these soldiers and horses have no arrogance, more of a squishy spirit, at this time, they are all wilted, waiting for Cao Bianjiao's disposal.

"Report your position and name!" Cao Bianjiao's long knife pointed at Li Huajing, Zheng Longfang, Yao Wenchang and others and asked.

"Humble Caozhou garrison Li Huajing ......"

At that moment, everyone reported their names and official positions, and Cao Bianjiao also immediately said: "You wait for the order to go down, Liu Zeqing should be killed, and the rest of the people are not guilty, stationed in the camp, no order can go out, you are all Shandong men, uprooted, coerced by Liu Zeqing to go south, abandon your family and business, it is really helpless, I will lead you back to your hometown in Shandong, since ancient times, there have been many chivalrous Qilu warriors, generous and benevolent, I can also understand your feelings, you are all my Ming army, not Liu Zeqing's private soldiers, you should be loyal to the country, Instead of following Liu Zeqing to plague the people......"

Under Cao Bianjiao's admonition, everyone relaxed, although Cao Bianjiao really admonished them for what they did, but he also praised them, stimulating the benign and enthusiastic in their hearts, they followed Liu Zeqing south, abandoning their wives and children, many people are actually unwilling in their hearts, it is really helpless, under Cao Bianjiao's encouragement, they are all passionate at the moment, and they are all thinking about returning to their hometown as soon as possible.

In the handsome tent, Cao Bianjiao sat there, looking at the people standing below, they had also calmed down, and the military spirit had been appeased, for Cao Bianjiao, there was no longer much hidden danger, even if there were a few small loaches churning, they couldn't turn over many waves.

"What Liu Zeqing has done over the years, you all know in your hearts, I will correct him, no one will feel wronged, as far as I know, Liu Zeqing was at odds with his cousin, and sent someone to find that cousin, and the cousin pleaded with his mother, he pretended to be reconciled, but in fact he sent someone to kill the cousin on the way back. Liu Zeqing has a former residence in Cao County, and a few shows borrowed it to drink, because of the legend of the view, he found a woman's brocade shoes upstairs, laughed and sarcastic, and later Liu Zeqing knew about it, and killed them all. Such a person, not killing him is not enough to make the people angry, before the first emperor was martyred in Beijing, he recruited him to rescue the driver, but he did not obey the order, and his crime can be punished! You are all conscientious ministers, how can you be with such a person for the rest of your life, when you are old, when you tell your children and grandchildren about your chivalrous pride when you were young, do you just say something about how to follow Liu Zeqing to harm the people of Limin, I believe that no one wants to, everyone wants to be able to tell the juniors when the time comes, you also hope that your children and grandchildren will come from the family lineage, when you talk about your name, everyone praises and admires it, and the heart of loyalty must not be forgotten. Serving as a soldier is not only for that little salary, but also for a lot of blood, I hope you will remember from now on that the national shame and family feud must be avenged! ”

"We are all willing to follow the general to the north to regain our homeland, and we will die without regrets!" At the moment, several people also bowed in unison, Cao Bianjiao is not a person who likes to talk about big truths, but when it is time to speak, he will not be afraid to bother.

"General! I know that there is an inner room in Liu Zeqing's mansion, which hides hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, all of which Liu Zeqing has looted over the years, and I am willing to bring someone to get it! ”

"Good! Let's go together, I want to see how many sins this Liu Zeqing has created! Cao Bianjiao said this, in fact, he was still not at ease with these people, after all, he only met and did not understand, whether they really surrendered, or just to save his life, Cao Bianjiao is not a god, I don't know, such a big event, it is better to go to a trip by yourself to feel at ease.

When they came to Liu Zeqing's mansion, Cao Bianjiao also felt that his death was not unjust at all, so he looked at the decoration in the mansion, compared to his own general's mansion, it was much more magnificent, although his general's mansion was bigger than him, but this furnishing really couldn't be compared, just like the difference between a 100,000 decoration and a 1 million decoration house.

"General, please ...... here"

Under the guidance of Li Huajing, Cao Bianjiao and they came to Liu Zeqing's bedroom, in the bedroom, there is a secret door at the head of the bed, and there is a secret room inside, Li Huajing pushed open the door of the dark room, and said: "I also found this place inadvertently, I know that there is such a place, once drunk, Liu Zeqing told me that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in it, he said that even if he is not an official one day, he can go to the south to be a rich man, and the accumulation of these years is enough for him to squander for a lifetime." ”

"He's so calculating!" Cao Bianjiao also sneered, if Liu Zeqing was alive, he would let him die here, let him die as he deserved.

"General Gao, I wonder if you are the same?" Cao Bianjiao also turned his head to look at Gao Jie and asked.

Cao Bianjiao's question suddenly frightened Gao Jie, and hurriedly bowed: "General, the last general doesn't dare, if the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to search the last general's mansion, but the last general doesn't even have five thousand taels of silver, please check it out!" ”

"I just said casually, you don't have to worry about anything, you are a person, I believe it, besides, you have been fighting in the south and the north all these years, where will there be good luck like Liu Zeqing, guarding Shandong can be a disaster at will, I believe you will not go to the same path as him."

"Thank you for your trust!" Gao Jie also wiped a cold sweat, Cao Bianjiao's joke was too big, and it almost made his legs weak, is this a joke casually, but if Cao Bianjiao wants to say it, he can only admit it.

"It seems that the silver here is no less than 300,000 taels, Liu Zeqing has only been in Shandong for a few years, but in two years, he has collected so much property, and it is not good to lead the troops to fight, this is a very set of ah, I don't know how many rich people have been looted by him, and it can be regarded as helping the country to enrich the treasury, register all the things here, and then transfer 30,000 taels of silver to General Gao as his military salary for the next quarter, and the rest will be escorted back to Nanjing and filled into the treasury, which is the country's assets. No one is allowed to intercept it. Li Huajing, from now on, you will stay in my Great General's Mansion to fill the post of experience! ”

"Humble and orderly, thank you for the general's help!" Li Huajing is also thanking him at the moment, and the experience of being promoted to the General's Mansion all of a sudden, that is, from the official position of the fifth grade, it is equivalent to the grade of a Zhizhou, and with the momentum of Cao Bianjiao, the trend of the Ming Dynasty to suppress military force with literature is only gone forever.

"Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses need to be rectified, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the ones who should be eliminated will be eliminated, and they will be placed in the boundary of Yancheng County, Sheyang Lake, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, I am ready to introduce sweet potato seeds from the southeast, and then all this thing will be planted, after Shandong is recovered, they want to return to their hometown, they can get the proper placement of the imperial court, and the remaining soldiers and horses will all be moved to Fengyang, and soon I will also go to Fengyang Tunjun as a backing for the Northern Expedition!"

"Yes!"
