Li Yu frowned and listened for a while, then sneered and clapped his hands, the Fengzhou soldiers carried out more than ten large wooden boxes and placed them in front of Sun Chuanting, and hundreds of prisoners of the Guanning Army also knelt on the ground honestly under the threat of swords, and then walked out of groups of men and women, and the howls immediately rang out.

"What is the crime of robbing the Holy Silver?" Li Yu pointed to the wooden boxes, and the imperial seal on them had not yet had time to be revealed.

"What is the crime of a person who robs a good family and uses it as a prostitute?" Li Yu pointed to the women in the crowd, who were still covering their faces and crying bitterly.

"What is the crime of those who forcibly seize the people and wantonly drive them?" Li Yu pointed to the people with hatred in their eyes, and they took off their shirts together, revealing the striking scars on their bodies.

"These rebels have done a lot of evil, how should Lord Sun deal with them?" Liu Wenzhong shouted next to Li Yu arrogantly, Sun Chuanting's face was pale and he didn't say a word, but he hated Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen to death in his heart.

"Your Excellency the Governor is not easy to start, then I will deal with these arrogant soldiers," Li Yu beckoned back, and the Fengzhou soldiers rushed up and pressed the prisoner to the ground, Li Yu ordered viciously, "Such a beast is innocent of death, this marshal will kill two and kill one, and immediately behead the public." ”

In the wail, half of the captives were dragged out, and in a moment, more than two hundred bloody human heads were hung on the camp fence, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen in the distance were so frightened that their legs were weak, and the soldiers behind them were all pale.

"Your Excellency Governor, the Qing army has moved south to Shandong, and the commander is about to lead the army to intercept it, but I don't trust you, and the officers and troops under your command are not allowed to enter within thirty miles of my naturalized army," Li Yu stared at Sun Chuanting with blazing eyes, pointing to the battle flag of the Guanning army in the distance and shouted, "Especially those beasts, once they appear, they will be regarded as a chaotic army." ”

After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the Fengzhou army lifted the wooden box, took the people and quickly evacuated, and after a while, there were only about two hundred prisoners who collapsed on the ground in front of the camp. Sun Chuanting was furious, Guan Ningjun had already heard of it, this group of people is indeed beasts, but they are still beasts that can be used by the imperial court, at least better than the traitors and rebels who have no court, and the naturalized general soldiers are so arrogant and domineering, it will be a great harm to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Sun Chuanting was very resistant to entering the king of Weiqin, thinking that the thieves were only one step away from being able to exterminate them, and the transfer of the western army to the east was tantamount to returning to the mountains, but he opposed the money and the eastern captives, and resolutely advocated fighting to the end, and when he arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, he complained to the imperial court that the Qin army should not be transferred, and at the same time reprimanded Yang Sichang and his gang for misleading the country and the people, and asked to make a statement to the emperor in person. Of course, the emperor rejected his request, and the new governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, was more clever and never expressed his position on the matter of peace, but was given the opportunity to resign in Beijing. Sun Chuanting was very angry about this, refused to take office on the grounds of deafness, provoked the emperor to be angry and sent to the imperial history to check, so he had to go to Baoding, but it was easy to fight the rogue and it was difficult to fight the Eastern Army, he had neither confidence nor interest in resisting the Qing army, so he simply shrank up in Baoding, and the naturalized general army went to Shandong to fight with the Eastern Captives. However, Shandong is also his defense area, once the city is broken and lost, the same responsibility will be inescapable, so he transferred the Shandong general soldiers Ni Chong and Liu Zeqing back to Shandong in advance, I don't know if these two guys are useful, but at least they can block the mouth of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong.

Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, it is really unlucky to encounter this kind of frustration, Sun Chuanting On the way back to the camp, his eyes kept glancing at Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen - if the situation is critical, let these two beasts also be driven to Shandong.

On the road, Li Yu took out the silver taels found from the Guanning army camp and sent the people away, and led the cavalry to chase his main force at full speed - last night, Ge Kuli rushed back to the Fengzhou army camp, and urgently reported that the Qing army had gone south to Shandong, and the old commander immediately ordered the camp to be pulled, and the whole army rushed to Dezhou overnight.

At dusk, Li Yu caught up with the main force of the Fengzhou army, and immediately called the old marshal and the main generals and officials together, and while marching with the troops, he asked Gekuli to tell the situation of the Qing army's camp.

Ge Kuli found the Qing army camp in Cangzhou and shouted at several Qing army commanders - the Fengzhou army is ready to go, and the Qing army dares to go beyond Lei Chi to send troops to fight, and Shandong has had a big epidemic every spring in recent years, and the Qing army has stood in it and turned into ashes. Several commanders of the Qing army scoffed at the naked threat of Fengzhou, and did not give a word of truth, Gekuri simply acted in private, he was the grandson of Yehebu Belle Jintaishi, and naturally there were relatives of the same clan who showed him some rumors - among the commanders of the Qing army, Dolgon and Dudu resolutely advocated entering Shandong, Haoge resolutely opposed, while Yue Tuo and Abatai did not express their position, and Ge Curry ran to persuade Yue Tuo and Abatai. At the end of December, Gecuri finally got the result, the commanders of the Qing army made it clear that they wanted to enter Shandong, and Dolgon also threatened: Fengzhou does not want to limit the movement of the Qing army, Elu dares to send troops to fight, and the Qing army will kill him if it wins, and the Qing army will also want his life if the Ming army is defeated, if you don't believe it, wait and see!

"There are almost 100,000 Qing people, and they hardly take us seriously, so they swaggered and went on the road, and they detained me for two days before I was released, and they have been off for five or six days." Gcuri finally said.

Du Wenhuan pondered and said: "It seems that we are going to fight a battle with the Qing army, how did Jinan Titang do it, and he has not come to contact us yet." ”

"Shandong also has two teams of Ni Pet and Liu Zeqing, if they can help, this battle may not be difficult to fight." Ma Shiying interjected.

"Those two aren't good birds!" Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei shouted in unison.

"Full speed to Texas!" Li Yu waved his hand, Dezhou is the gateway to Shandong, maybe he can catch up with the Qing army there.

The Fengzhou army marched rapidly for a day and two nights, and arrived at the city of Dezhou at dawn, it was very quiet here, there was no sign of a big war, the scouts searched around and did not find the shadow of the Qing army, but the city of Dezhou was like a great enemy, not only the city gate was closed, the city wall was also full of officers and soldiers and people, and the black muzzle of the cannon pointed directly outside the city.

Sun Fuhu's cavalry assisted in the striker, and a group of Shandong horses under his command stepped on the land of their hometown like a dog returning to its nest, and ran impatiently to the city to shout. I haven't spoken Shandong for many years, Sun Erkui, the commander of the right battalion, opened his throat and shouted, but after only shouting a few words, he was driven back by random arrows, the villagers in the city only recognize the banner and do not recognize people, how could the Ming army not fight the banner of the Ming army, what is the strange eagle flag? Sun Erkui hurriedly asked someone to find the military flag, and it took a lot of effort to find a few - the military flag of the Ming army made people feel guilty when they saw it, who still fought this kind of broken red flag, it had already been put away, but fortunately it had not been thrown away.

A few crumpled military flags of Guihua Town were finally played, and a group of snow wolves and sorghum poles from the left battalion also came to join in the fun, it was the bald heads of these guys and their mouths full of Mongolian and Zhushen that were bad, and the people in the city became vigilant and loudly warned the soldiers and generals below - they will never be fooled, get out of here, otherwise they will open fire.

"I am the famous thunderbolt on the ground in Shandong, and I will immediately ask you officials to come out and answer." Sun Fuhu was very impatient and squeezed to the front and shouted, but the people in the city shook their heads together and said that they had not heard of it.

"It's Sun Erniang, who was chivalrous and righteous along the canal back then, you must have heard of it, right?" Sun Erkui blurted out.

This time, the people in the city nodded, Sun Erniang's reputation in Shandong is indeed very great, but it has been silent for many years, everyone thinks that this big bang died outside, Sun Erkui and a few Shandong brothers immediately denied it, Hu Blowing up the experience of these years, the people in the city listened to it with relish, and the tone eased a lot, but Sun Fuhu felt very faceless, glared at his nephew Sun Erkui, and quietly walked away.

"Brother, you are a little late, two days ago, the Dongyu just went to the south under the city, and tens of thousands of people were pressed by the black, you have to be careful." Said the officer in the city.

"It's okay, we are the best at fighting Dongyu, see you and extinguish once," Sun Erkui felt that the heat was almost over, and opened his mouth to ask, "Fellow, it's not easy for us to come all the way, I want to buy some food from you, don't worry, we have money, and the price is high!" ”

"Well, I can't be the master, you better go to Jinan Mansion, there is a lot of food there, but I invited you to eat a few of your fellow villagers." The officer was a cheerful man, and with a wave of his hand, he let people hang down baskets of pancakes.

Sun Erkui and a few Shandong people are still chatting with the villagers in the city, the others have long since dispersed, the Fengzhou army has temporarily camped under the city, and the soldiers have fallen asleep on the spot with their weapons - too tired, the marching intensity of the Fengzhou army is probably only comparable to the Qing army, the veterans have experience, the horses must hurry up to replenish food, and people must hurry up to sleep.

Li Yu sat on the ground with his back against a big tree, stuffing bread into his mouth while checking the map, Liu Wenzhong lay on the blanket at his feet and hummed - this guy wants to succeed, he doesn't sit in the prepared carriage, he has to learn to ride a horse, and he climbs into the car by himself before he is halfway.

"Father-in-law Liu, this picture you brought from Jingshi is really good, it is much more detailed than ours," Li Yu put down the picture, broke a piece of dough cake and stuffed it into Liu Wenzhong's mouth, "Eat something, fighting is a crime, my master Liu Zhilun was in the Gyeonggi War, and a rapid march was also like this, just get used to it." ”

Liu Wenzhong swallowed the cake with a saliva, took a breath and said: "The old bones can't stand the toss, Li Shuai, you said that you are so guilty of fighting, why do those Wenchen deliberately oppose the emperor and oppose the peace negotiation?" ”

"What's so strange about this, the people who shout and beat every day don't fight by themselves, the emperor should really hand over those guys to me, and let them come to a few long-distance marches, they must be honest."

"Li Shuai, I can remind you, this time Dongyu is in the Kou, everyone else is doing it, don't take it too seriously, some things really can't be done!"

"Father-in-law Liu, I can't fight if I don't fight, I can't get rid of my hands if I don't get out of the pass, I still have to go back to spring ploughing, if the field is barren, no one will take care of our food."

The two of them didn't say a word, Gao Heizi hurriedly walked over, whispered in Li Yu's ear, Li Yu nodded and commanded a few words, and then said to Liu Wenzhong: "Father-in-law Liu, the governor of Shandong is here, it seems that we have something to do." ”

After a while, Ma Shiying accompanied a civil official who was about fifty years old, Li Yu quickly patted his buttocks and stood up to give a salute, the man glanced at the Fengzhou soldiers lying around, pointed at Li Yu and said coldly: "You are the naturalized general soldier?" Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, bring your holy decree to me. ”

Finally someone wants to see the holy decree, Li Yu hurriedly held the letter that had been ignored and handed it over, Yan Jizu sneered when he saw it: "How can the Ming officials and army be under the control of civil ministers, can no one in this dynasty control you?" This official is the governor of Shandong, and you have to listen to me when you get here. ”

"Aren't we human? The emperor regards the naturalized army as the imperial pro-army, and sends our family to supervise military affairs, and it is not your turn to meddle with a foreign minister. Liu Wenzhong sat up all of a sudden, he couldn't let others steal the limelight.

Liu Wenzhong's eunuch is definitely not a person, Yan Jizu ignored him at all, and continued to give orders to Li Yu: "Dongyu is raging, Jinan is in an emergency, you immediately reinforce Jinan with your own official, and prepare to set off immediately!" ”

No matter how urgent things are, I have to let Lao Tzu take a breath, why do you care about me-Li Yu's anger came up, but he had a bad idea when his brain turned, and quietly kicked Liu Wenzhong to make him stop, and then said with a smile on his face: "The last general obeys his fate, but the officers and soldiers of the department have run thousands of miles from the border to Shandong, and they are really sleepy and hungry, are you ......?"

"Okay, seeing that you are also deferential, I will reward you with a hot soup and hot meal, and the food and salary, and I will talk about it when you get to Jinan." Yan Jizu glanced at the sleeping soldiers around him again, these people are really hard, it is really unreasonable not to give them food, let's deceive people to Jinan first.

Yan Jizu, the word rope Qi, Wanli forty-seven years of Jinshi, long-term in the court as a speech official, is the old qualification of the Qingliu Party, once impeached the first assistant Zhou Yanru became famous in one fell swoop, Chongzhen nine years promoted to the right of the capital of the imperial history, Shandong governor. It is not easy to be a practical magistrate, and after Yan Jizu arrived in the place, the drought locusts and epidemics in Shandong continued, and he was exhausted. This time, the Qing army entered the customs and hit Hejian Mansion in one go, and the situation in Shandong suddenly became critical, Yan Jizu cobbled together 3,000 men and horses to enter Dezhou, but then the military department grabbed his errand, transferred him here today, transferred him there tomorrow, and changed the guard several times in two months. Yan Jizu was angry, and he continued to go up to the imperial court, and the emptiness of Shandong's troops was the problem, and he should transfer the officials and troops of King Qinwang of Shandong back as soon as possible, otherwise it would be useless to fill in his thousands of people. The imperial court obeyed the admonition, ordered him to guard the gateway of Shandong - Dezhou, and instructed Sun Chuanting to put Ni Pet and Liu Zeqing back to Shandong, Yan Jizu was in a slightly calm mood, and carefully prepared to fight a battle with the Qing army in Dezhou, but the Qing army ignored him at all, swaggered around Dezhou and continued to go south, and then there was an urgent report from Song Xuezhu from Shandong Patrol - the Qing army was in Jinan City, and Ni Pet and Liu Zeqing suddenly disappeared. Yan Jizu immediately felt a chill on his neck, the soldiers of Jinan were all taken to Dezhou by him, in fact, it was an empty city, Ni Pet and Liu Zeqing The two bastards ran again, which was equivalent to putting a piece of fat meat into the mouth of the Qing army, Jinan was the Shandong Governor's Mansion and the Political Envoy's Office, and the Dewang Mansion was also in the city, of course he knew what the consequences would be if he lost his important land and fell into the domain.

Yan Jizu was like an ant on a hot pot in the Zhizhou Yamen, and his subordinates came to report that the naturalized army suddenly arrived in the city, and he immediately made up his mind. Unlike ordinary officials and ordinary people, he is very clear about the situation in Naturalization Town, and when he was still a speech official in the court, he vigorously scolded Li Yu and the people of Fengzhou for being Beiyu and Hanyi, and he couldn't wait to immediately eradicate this trouble, but time has passed, and his old problems when he was Qingliu have changed a lot, and the problem is much more practical - that team is strong, otherwise it will be annexed by the Ming army if it is not eaten by the Eastern Emperor, if it is used by me, of course, the trouble is that the naturalized army is the emperor's private edict King Qin, Whoever gets involved with him will definitely be spurned by the Manchu courtiers, and even the Qingliu celebrities will be regarded as unruly villains. Yan Jizu struggled for a long time to be a gentleman or a villain, and finally made up his mind when it was near noon - being a villain is a matter of the future, and if he can't pass this hurdle in front of him, he will definitely be a dead ghost, and besides, people may not listen to me, even if he gambles!

What Yan Jizu didn't expect was that the naturalized general soldiers were very deferential, and after the fierce and vicious soldiers and generals whispered, everyone was respectful to him, and even thanked him for eating a meal of worthless pancakes and hot soup noodles, that Ma Shiying has been waiting with him carefully, Yan Jizu is very suspicious that he thought wrong before, these people are very kind and polite, and they are completely different from the imaginary Beiyu and Hanyi, maybe they have really wronged others.

The naturalized army set off in the afternoon, Li Yu personally led the cavalry of the two associations and the three battalions of Chahar, Khalkha, and Oirat as the front team to rush to the aid of Jinan, and Du Wenhuan led the infantry and artillery to follow up as the rear team. Li Yu assured the governor that he would rush to the city of Jinan before dark tomorrow, and asked him to make a swearing-in speech to the whole army. Yan Jizu looked at this army of tigers and wolves with banners and swords and guns, and suddenly felt that he was also much taller, and impassionedly called on the soldiers to serve the country loyally and swear to kill the enemy, and then rode the Western Regions war horse prepared for him in a cheer, and set off with a wave of his hand.

The experience of this march made Yan Jizu sad when he thought about it, it was too torturous, there was no car and no sedan chair, he could only ride on a horse and follow the army non-stop, eating, sleeping and even urinating had to be completed on the horse, and he also encountered wind and snow on the road, so cold that people's hands and feet were numb, Yan Jizu felt that he had not suffered so much in his life, and he wanted to stop and rest several times, but no one paid attention to him at all, and a group of young people who accompanied him unceremoniously tied him to the horse, dragged him to continue walking, and warned him that once he left the team, he would probably not be able to come back, The wolf feeding in the wilderness is not certain. Yan Jizu gritted his teeth and wiped his tears and was dragged to the end, but his legs couldn't fit together since then, and he became the object of ridicule from the ministers.

Jinan City is finally coming, from a distance faintly shouted killing, the sound of cannons, the Fengzhou army came at the right time, Li Yu immediately ordered Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu with Kong Guoer, Chagui, Ma Bao to continue to take care of Yan Jizu, and then the horse forward, commanding the whole army to move forward, 15,000 cavalry in the blink of an eye to unfold the cavalry formation, like a huge crush to Jinan City.
