Liaodong, the inner city of Jinzhou.

Wang Zheng entered Jinzhou City as soon as he defeated the Qing army outside the city, and the tragic scene in the city at that time can not be described as shocking.

The Central Plains was starving all over the wilderness, but I didn't expect that Liaodong, which was thousands of miles away, was still like this.

As soon as they entered the city, countless yellow-faced and thin-skinned people were piled up in the corners, but they looked this way in a daze, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

The outside of the earthy yellow houses on both sides were covered with straw mats, and inside were all miserable people, most of whom had starved to death, and a small number of people had been infected by the recent outbreak of the plague in the city.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, give the little one a bite to eat, it's okay-"

Suddenly, Wang Zheng, who was riding his horse to Zu Dashou's mansion, was stopped by a hungry man in tattered clothes, and Huang Yang, who was on the side, was about to draw his sword, which brought about a chain reaction, and the soldiers of the Shandong army behind him were almost all tense at the same moment.

"Daring, don't take your dirty hands away yet!"

Huang Yang shouted loudly and was about to step forward, but Wang Zheng in front of him slowly waved his hand to retreat.

But Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to give alms to the hungry people who blocked the road, and quietly glanced around, and saw countless hungry wolf-like eyes staring at him, this is the thought of letting go of alms, shaking his head and waving his hand again to signal to move on.

The rumbling footsteps sounded again, and the people looked disappointed, thinking that the soldiers and horses of the court were still the same as before, and they no longer prayed, and slowly returned to their original positions.

Riding on a horse, Wang Zheng looked at the scene in Jinzhou City all the way, his fists clenched unconsciously, how much disaster did the Tartars bring to the people of Liaodong?

In fact, it's not that Wang Zheng doesn't want to give alms, in Fang Cai's situation, you can give food to that person, but you can't give it to the whole city, and if you give him one, the rest will definitely swarm up, and if you don't do it, it will turn into a civil strife.

The Shandong army does not have much dry food, and it is already the limit that it can be distributed to the Liaodong Army at its discretion, and as for these victims, they are really powerless.

Under Wang Zheng's simple visual inspection, Jinzhou City should be at least half the size of Penglai, and the area is much more than that of ordinary state cities.

Soon, the team came to a majestic mansion, it stands to reason that as the general of Liaodong Forward, Yu Qing and Lizu Dashou should come out to greet him, but now they only saw two weak and powerless soldiers of the Liaodong Army guarding the door.

"Rebel!! At present, there is not enough food in the army, how dare you embezzle it without authorization? ”

Zu Keyong didn't seem to expect that Zu Dashou would not come to greet him, and was about to go in to remind Wang Zhengxiao, but suddenly a hurried scolding sound came from the inner hall.

Entering the inner hall, Wang Zheng first paid attention to the decoration inside.

In fact, Zu Dashou's family is shabby compared to ordinary military generals, wooden tables and chairs, a steel knife sitting north and facing south, and the only thing that is remarkable is the two small stone lions in front of the door.

Seeing this, Wang Zheng suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and heard for a long time that this ancestor was a wealthy family in Liaodong, and Zu Dashou was a descendant of Jiangmen, but the layout of the hall at home was simpler than his own.

"Let Mr. Wang laugh, the rebel son is not angry, he automatically uses the public food in the army, and he doesn't say what he is doing with it!"

Hearing Zu Dashou's tone, Wang Zheng knew that he was trying to be crooked, and hugged his fists and said:

"Fang Cai is not laughing at General Zu's family background." Speaking of this, Wang Zheng raised his head and glanced at the plaque, and exclaimed:

"It's a comparison with General Zu, and I know how nourishing and blessed my previous days were, and I'm really ashamed."

Hearing this, Zu Dashou was obviously stunned, but he quickly reacted, pointed to the seat on the side, and said with a serious face:

"Mr. Wang is serious, sit down! I wonder what the situation of Inspector Hong is? ”

In fact, from the time he entered the door, Wang Zheng had been looking at Zu Dashou, a famous person in history, he had long wanted to see him.

The current Zu Dashou, still wearing light gray-black chain mail, with a dignified beard, sat quietly on the top, a faint majesty unconsciously revealed, looking at his expression, he was obviously looking Wang Zheng up and down.

Hearing Zu Dashou's question, Wang Zheng's expression darkened, and he began to tell the story as it was.

Zu Dashou, who was sitting in the first place, became more and more shocked the more he listened, and after listening, he was still angry about Wang Pu leading his troops to escape in Songshan, and slapped the table fiercely and said:

"I said a long time ago, Wang Pu is a timid person who can't be reused at all, so he should be cut with a thousand knives!" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something and asked:

"My nephew Wu Sangui also fled?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled and was noncommittal.

At this time, a soldier of the Shandong army ran in from afar, and after entering the door, he first made a military salute to the king, and then hugged his fists to Zu Dashou, Zu Keyong and others in turn, and then said in a low voice:

"Marshal, the military council department has an urgent letter."

Before he set out to conquer Liaodong, he had already arranged the internal and external affairs, and at this time, Li Yan sent a letter to himself, it must have been a big thing, Wang Zheng quickly took the letter and read it carefully.

At this look, his face immediately became very serious, and at this time, Zu Dashou saw that the situation was wrong, and asked worriedly:

"Mr. Wang, could it be that something happened on the Songshan side?"

"It's something trivial on my side, General Zu will stay for a while, and I'll go back when I go down." Wang Zheng smiled, confessed to the ancestor's birthday, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.

After going out, Wang Zheng said in a deep voice, and the other party came to report to the soldier and said:

"You personally run back, pass on the military order of the marshal, let Deng Heizi be the main general, punish a knife, Shao Yong as the deputy, and lead seven regular barracks to assemble at the border of Wengzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion, concise and concise sentence: The soldiers will block, the water will come to cover the earth, and never give up the Guide Mansion!"

Hearing the commander's firm words, the last trace of worry in the soldier's heart was eliminated, and he immediately gave a military salute, turned around and left directly.

......

In November, the military order issued by Wang Zheng was transmitted back to Licheng, Shandong.

It is still a generous and powerful paragraph, and every word reveals firmness, and Licheng also immediately issued an order to continuously mobilize war barracks in Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion to assemble in the direction of Licheng.

At the same time, Wang Zheng directly promoted Kong Luan, the foreign commander of the Guide Mansion, by one level, and now he has become a guerrilla general.

Suddenly, Shandong's Wang Dashuai is tooth and mouth are loosened, like Kong Luan and other loud horse thieves, local heroes can have a guerrilla dang, this title is really not small.

Some people secretly wonder that there are thousands of people under their hands, if they also throw themselves under the hands of the Shandong Army Marshal, will they be able to mix up a thousand people?

There are 100 people who are also wondering if they can also mix up with the general cadres if they go over, and don't they have to accept the reorganization of the Shandong military and the subordinate personnel, and compared with the benefits they get, these are nothing.

For this official body, but also for his family and future generations to earn a glamorous and decent appearance, if he can make some military exploits and mix some land, or enter the establishment of the lineage, then the benefits are so many that he can't count them on one hand.

For this, it's worth the hard work!

Let these people willingly follow desperately for the sake of benefits, the Shandong army does have this strength, at least the people Wang Zhengwang said that he would give it, and he never broke his word.

The promise given by the imperial court is like a fart, even the salary of its own soldiers and horses can't be paid, and the armor and weapons don't know how many years they have been used.

As for the menacing army, if you have already thrown yourself under the command of the king of Shandong, then you don't have to be too afraid.

Let's say that the main generals of the six provinces of Shandong, Xing Yidao, Shao Yong, Lu Jingrong and others, none of them are full of military exploits, and their names are not smaller than the fierce generals Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi under the command of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and Wenzhou Mansion and Dongchang Mansion are also close to Henan and Huguang, and it is very convenient for reinforcements to come.

The Shandong army has no intention of retreating from this matter, and the Licheng side is gathering a large army, which is said to be led by Wang Zheng's right-hand man Deng Heizi, and the punishment is the same as Shao Yong, and it seems that he is preparing to fight to the death with the army in Guide Mansion.

To say that at present, north of the Yellow River, the only one who can stop the advance of the Liukou may be this Shandong army.
