After being stationed in Gaoqiao for about five days, the people in the town gradually stabilized from the fear of being closed at the beginning, and it seemed that this army called the Shandong Army did not have the kind of ruffian atmosphere of ordinary guest troops, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the military discipline as strict.

These days are a rare time of stability for the people of Gaoqiao Town, with the Shandong army stationed, except for the first batch of horse thieves, there are really no unsightly Japanese and strongmen to harass again, and what the people see all day long is the soldiers patrolling the streets.

The soldiers of the Shandong Army are transferred and rotated, and no one is specific how long they stay in a post, they all take turns to change guards every once in a while, and even if they occasionally see female dependents on the street, everyone immediately looks away, and there is no harassment at all.

But then again, in addition to drawing the patrol lot, the three sergeants in the main barracks actually don't have any kung fu to hang out every day, almost the same as when they were in Qingzhou Mansion, living a life of practicing day and night and eating at the same time.

Gradually, many people in Linhong Town came to hear the news, and some small merchants and hawkers also came here to set up stalls, and it didn't take long for these merchants to find that the soldiers of the Shandong Army occasionally bought goods in their hands.

In just a few days, the name of the Shandong Army began to spread in the Huaibei territory, saying that these officers and soldiers were warm-hearted, never bullied the people, and even bought goods from the traders at a fair price.

The most important thing is that the Shandong soldiers never hesitate to pay for it, and there is no habit of defaulting at all, and they can maintain this, in the eyes of the traders, this official army is already a division of benevolence and righteousness.

After all, Lin Hongzhen is only so big, there are more and more people, but problems are also coming one after another, and gradually a news spreads among the crowd that the Shandong army is going to Haizhou.

Lu Jingrong led the three main barracks of the Shandong Army to Haizhou to take over the city defense, and if we want to deal with the chaos in Haizhou, we still have to start from this state city.

However, this time the Shandong army was not alone, hearing the news that it was about to be opened, the small merchants and hawkers and the people all said that they wanted to follow, Lu Jingrong softened his heart for a while, and then the whole town flocked to him, crying and shouting to go together.

This is the first two big, Lu Jingrong, as the general of the Shandong Army who defended one side, and the general who commanded the army in this rebellion, still has to count what he says, and in the end he can only nod.

The distance between Gaoqiao and Haizhou City was less than 30 miles, and it would have been possible to arrive in less than half a day according to the previous marching speed, but this time it was different, and the number of people to accompany it was even more than the number of regular soldiers of three battalions.

In addition to relying on a large number of transportation tools such as carts to help the people drag their families and mouths, Lu Jingrong had to requisition a large number of mules and horses to transport goods.

However, the problem is that such a large number of "money" swaggering through the border, even under the banner of the Shandong Army, those so-called Japanese and strongmen are afraid that they will have to make up their minds.

Lu Jingrong looked at the team that had dragged his family and almost emptied most of Gaoqiao, and he was very anxious in his heart, I was afraid that this short thirty miles would not be so smooth to pass.

This procession was no longer as orderly as the march of the Shandong army in the past, and the road was noisy and noisy, like a moving market, most of them were small merchants and peddlers and poor people, and it took about half a day to walk less than ten miles.

"General, there are people behind who can't walk, are they still resting?"

While they were marching, suddenly a sentry trotted over and said this.

Didn't you just rest half an hour ago, such a method of marching will not be able to reach Haizhou City for three days, Lu Jingrong was about to ruthlessly order to continue the march, when he suddenly heard a cry from the rear.

......

"What's going on, what's going on?"

A team of Shandong soldiers walked over, and after asking about the situation, it turned out that a few ruffians who had mixed in stole a merchant's rice noodles, and after being caught, several ruffians rose up and took action, relying on the large number of people to beat the merchant's nose and face to be swollen, and finally scattered the remaining rice and noodles to the people.

There are nine people in total, and they are all famous scoundrels on weekdays.

But these scoundrels also have rules, they use their names to go to other places to do things, they don't eat grass at the door of their own houses at all, and they pretend to be decent in Gaoqiao, so the townspeople have a good impression of them, and they all think that they are honest children of poor families.

Seeing that the Shandong army was arresting people and beheading them, the surrounding people suddenly shouted, and more and more people gathered here, constantly shouting and scolding, demanding that Lu Jingrong release them.

"What they did was a good thing, why should they be killed."

"We poor people can't afford to pay for the things sold by those merchants, what do these black-hearted traders have to rob, I will also take them, and cut me down!"

"I also took their share of rice and noodles, come and come and arrest me too!"

"Yes, these young men are good, just a few beatings and scolding, why do you want to kill people?"

At this time, the image of the Shandong Army with strict discipline and no mistakes in the autumn made the people have a lot less scruples, and they felt that this army was very weak, and they did not have the slightest fear at all.

It is also said that the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all bandits who rob homes and houses, bully men and women, and never give money to buy things, so in comparison, this army is very cowardly.

Most of the people who spoke were in that kind of yin and yang weird tone, and the nine scoundrels who were caught were a little apprehensive at first, but they were even more bold when they saw this situation, and they didn't pay attention to the heavily armed Shandong soldiers around them.

Although the Shandong army has a good work style in the past half a month, there is no situation of disturbing the people and bullying the people, but it is instigated by those who have a heart out of nothing, and more and more people forget the good things and make trouble.

The Shandong army has always had strict military discipline, and it has given preferential treatment to the local people, even if these people are full of righteous indignation, but the soldiers only use their bodies to separate them, and do not dare to disobey the military order and directly pull out their swords and guns.

Originally, there was still a little panic in their hearts, and the crowd who were ready to disperse at any time saw the Shandong army's way of coping, and their courage naturally increased a little more, as if they were grasping the weakness, and the sergeants who were blocking the front in the chaos were all beaten and kicked with a lot of angry punches.

The Shandong Junqian, who was in charge of this area, felt that things were developing out of control, and he didn't dare to give any orders, so he hurriedly ran to the front and asked Lu Jingrong, the general of the Shandong Army.

Although Lu Jingrong lost his square inch last night, he still had the most basic decision-making ability at this time, otherwise he would not have stood out among many capable people and became one of the six regular generals of the Shandong Army.

So when Lu Jingrong saw the somewhat flustered Mr. Qian, he kicked it up directly and shouted:

"What's the panic, what's the chaos!?"

"Find whoever shouts the most, who makes the most fun, all cut! And the nine scoundrels who stole things and beat people were all cut down by General Ben! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jingrong pulled out his waist knife and said:

"Pass on the general's military order, you must go to Haizhou City before tonight, even if you keep up, don't worry about those who can't keep up, let them live and die It has nothing to do with our Shandong army!"

"Obey the order!"
