"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is the Zhizhou Wang Zhiran of Linqing, and the soldiers under the command of the general town are really all tigers——"

Seeing Wang Zheng and the Dengzhou battalion generals coming, Wang Zhiran originally came to the mouth of the "official" but became a "lower official", no matter in the past or present life, this Linqing leader is the first time to show such a humble face to a martial artist.

However, Wang Zheng didn't seem to pay attention, just nodded lightly, and even the gentry behind Wang Zhiran didn't look at it, and walked straight past the crowd to a group of soldiers who were supporting each other.

Everyone looked over in amazement, and saw a group of soldiers supporting each other lying on the side of the city wall.

At present, there are only a few hundred Linqing soldiers left who can barely move their bodies, and when the Linqing garrison sees the person who comes, they know that it is the king of the three armies of the brave crown, and he also gritted his teeth and stepped forward, hugging his fists and saying:

"Humble Linqing garrison Cen Jizu, see the general town!"

Wang Zheng hurriedly took a few steps to support Cen Jizu's lowered body, looked around, and saw that those Linqing soldiers were all injured, and said with a moving face:

"The Cen garrison doesn't have to be so polite, at present, the Dengzhou battalion has completely annihilated the rogues of the Geli Eye Division, if it is not the cooperation of the Linqing official army, it will be difficult to do, you are indispensable!"

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng said loudly:

"Linqing garrison Cen Jizu, today you have made great contributions, served as a guerrilla general, still stationed in Linqing, and the department was naturalized as a regular soldier of the Dengzhou battalion on the spot, are you willing?"

Hearing Wang Zheng's generous and powerful words, the soldiers of Linqing looked at each other in disbelief, and after a long silence, a violent cheer suddenly broke out.

"Yes!"

"I'm willing to die for the head town!"

Cen Jizu didn't expect that this was the world-famous Dengzhou camp, this was the Dengzhou camp that beheaded 300 slaves in Liaodong and captured the widows of the old slave chiefs!

Although he is not yet a soldier general, but he has finally become a member of the Dengzhou battalion, Cen Jizu knelt down in front of everyone, and bowed to the king with excitement, clasped his fists and said loudly:

"The last general is willing to die for the general town!!"

Cen Jizu and the surviving Linqing soldiers under him have all become people from the Dengzhou battalion, and Cen Jizu, who was originally just a small garrison, was directly promoted on the spot and became a guerrilla general on the Shizhen side.

Treating martial artists like this, the civil officials took it for granted that Wang Zheng would win them over more, but they were disappointed, Wang Zheng did not have the slightest expression for the civil officials and the gentry, and this gap made them very disappointed.

Wang Zheng walked in front of Wang Zhiran of Linqing Zhizhou step by step, and said casually:

"I already knew before I came to this town, Lord Zhizhou has been conscientious and conscientious in office for several years, and he has also worked hard, and now that the Dengzhou battalion is stationed in Linqing, some things that should not be taken care of should be delegated."

"It's good to live here in Linqing!"

Saying that, Wang Zheng's sword-like eyes stared at this Zhizhou, just now he had heard the ins and outs from the soldiers, and the Linqing soldiers were forced by the pressure of the Zhizhou and the gentry, and almost abandoned the city after saying goodbye to their families.

If he hadn't led the army to arrive in time, Cen Jizu and hundreds of other brave Linqing warriors would have died outside the city, and Wang Zheng would never allow this kind of thing to happen on his own territory.

Hearing these naked words, although Wang Zhiran was shocked and frightened in his heart, he also knew that things could not be done, and suddenly thought about it, maybe it would be good to be able to enjoy happiness in peace and stability in the city.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhiran took a few steps forward and said with a smile:

"What the head town said is extremely true, and the lower officials should also enjoy the blessings."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and walked into Linqingzhou City with a group of generals swaggering.

......

In the summer of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the five battalions of the left of the revolution gathered more than 10,000 people to break through several counties of Guangping Prefecture, and the Ming army fled in despair, and after transferring to Shandong, the Geli Eye Department only took one day to break through Qiu County, the gateway of Dongchang Mansion, and shook far and near.

Wang Zheng, the new commander-in-chief of Shandong, led the Dengzhou battalion to gallop to help, and finally the two sides fought in Qingzhou City, and the Dengzhou battalion defeated the five battalions of Gezuo strongly, gathered and annihilated the thieves Kouda 4,000 people, and beheaded the thief Geli Yanhe Yilong.

The good news was transmitted to the north of Zhili, the Chongzhen Emperor was overjoyed and ordered to be encouraged, and after the discussion of the cabinet ministers, the king was promoted to the right governor of the five armies, ranking first among the military generals in Shandong, and the head of He Yilong was hung in the west city, so as to highlight the power of the imperial court.

Since the resurgence of Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, the rogues have echoed each other from afar, the officials and troops have been caught off guard, and various states and counties have fallen one after another, but at this time, such a big victory was reported.

The whole court sent the Dengzhou battalion's second victory to all parts of the country, intensified propaganda, and some civil officials took the opportunity to write splendid articles, saying that the general trend of the rogue was gone, and the official army was about to be completely wiped out.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, learned the news of Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion in Gucheng, and immediately ordered Zuo Liangyu, who had been dispersed, and Luo Dai, the general soldier of Shanxi, to lead the troops to attack, but the problem was that Zhang Xianzhong had been fighting in Gucheng for more than a year, and he must be fully prepared for the revival at this time.

In contrast, the official army was rushed to the army, and the left battalion, which had the largest number of people, was even more defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, who set up an ambush on Luohu Mountain west of Fang County, and sent a small team to lead the official army like a mountain.

Luo Dai was brave and not calm enough, thinking that the thief army was defeated, he led the Shanxi soldiers to chase and fight, and after rushing into the mountains, the rogues suddenly rose in all directions, and more than 10,000 Shanxi soldiers were all scattered, and even the chief soldier Luo Dai was captured alive.

Zuo Liangyu ran as fast as ever, the left battalion did not move, and after the sound of killing came from inside, Zuo Liangyu sent people to check the situation, and saw a group of rogues rushing out of the mountain, and the left battalion immediately dispersed.

From this, it can be seen that the quality of the left battalion is low.

The news quickly spread to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, ordered Xiong Wencan to be removed from the post of governor of the five provinces, and sent Jinyi Wei to arrest and behead in Beijing.

In the end, he was only demoted to the third level, and he still made meritorious service for his crimes, and I don't know how many times the words of guilty meritorious service appeared on Zuo Liangyu.

Hearing that the war broke out again in the Central Plains, the court also changed color for a while, and the court did not come up with a feasible plan for several days.

But at this time, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, could no longer sit still, in fact, since the Qing army entered the fortress, he was under tremendous pressure from the court, and in April this year, the officials Li Xiyan and Wang Zhiju were impeached by Yang Sichang.

Emperor Chongzhen severely reprimanded these two officials, and punished them with demotion, and his trust in Yang Sichang was undoubtedly revealed again, but it was not April now.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, was recommended by Yang Sichang to Emperor Chongzhen, and Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and others who had already been appeased rebelled again, causing Chongzhen to be furious and arrest Xiong Wencan.

If it is investigated, Yang Sichang knows that it is obviously difficult for him to escape the involvement.

The court is still chaotic and abnormal, either this impeachment or that, or so-and-so official was dismissed and imprisoned by the angry Emperor Chongzhen, and it has been almost a month, and no one has been able to come up with any plan to suppress the thief.

When the Ming court was too busy to take care of itself, Li Zicheng sneaked out of Shangluo Mountain and returned to his old base camp in Henan with eighteen horsemen to continue recruiting troops and horses, brewing a greater turmoil.
