After hearing about the Dengzhou battalion's practice on the territory of Laizhou Prefecture, the local gentry became uneasy.

They are all figures with heads and faces in this land, and even the three fires burned by Governor Xu Renlong's new official when he took office have not moved the slightest, and there are many ways.

But this time it was different, the Dengzhou battalion came quickly, and in just a few days, the rebels of Liu and Yuan were defeated one after another, Pingdu Prefecture and Jiaozhou were pacified, and the surrounding rebel barracks were either burned down or were already empty.

The Dengzhou battalion inherited their previous style of not moving like a mountain, and thunder and shaking at every turn, and all the way to it, it was simply invincible, and the rebels fled in rout with almost little resistance.

No one is a fool, in this case, it is a dead end to fight against the Dengzhou camp, since it is death to move forward, why not take a step back?

These people are as slippery as loaches, and it didn't take long for them to take the initiative to come to Ye County to find Wang Zheng to cooperate, and the gifts were brought in boxes and boxes to express their obedience.

The king was not afraid, and accepted all the orders, so that he could comfort them, and gave these gentry a reassurance.

By the end of March of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, all parts of Laizhou Mansion had been basically pacified, according to the soldiers, some time ago in the west of Weixian County and Tingkou Town respectively caught Tong Shizu and Yuan Rongli.

When they were captured, the two of them were very down, the original group of rebels around them were gone, and they only brought dozens of family members, although these family members were dead soldiers, but they were no match for the group of Dengzhou battalion soldiers who rushed up, and soon the two were captured alive.

These two people were on their way to be escorted, and the regular soldiers from all over the country were also concentrating on Ye County one after another, and Wang Zheng had already made room for them, preparing to stage a public beheading drama to end it.

......

Sitting in the marshal's mansion, Wang Zheng put down the newspaper in his hand, but suddenly felt a little lonely.

This empty inner room, missing that shadow, Wang Zheng always felt that there was something missing in his heart, compared to Penglai, Ye County may be sparsely populated, and Laizhou Mansion is not as homely as Dengzhou Camp, which has been in operation for several years.

Wang Zheng made up his mind to move the Marshal's Mansion back to Penglai, stood up, and walked outside the main hall with his back hand, he was now alone in his heart.

Over the years, she has not stopped for a moment, Yu'er often stays alone in the empty room for a few months, but in exchange for only living hastily for a few nights before leaving again.

Alas, I really failed her.

Seeing Wang Zheng come out, the two maids hurriedly saluted and said softly:

"See Lord Zhentai~"

Wang Zheng was a little resistant to this situation at first, but after so many years, he had long been used to it, and he went down the steps step by step without even looking at the maid.

"Good news, report to Zhentai, Tong Shizu and Yuan Rongli, two traitors, were arrested by Deputy General Huang and Gao Guerrilla!"

Wang Zheng thought that he must compensate Yu'er well after he went back, and took a deep breath and walked out of the mansion.

At this moment, Ye County is full of Dengzhou battalion soldiers wearing helmets and armor, and the armor leaves collide together with a clanging sound, and some horsemen have announced the news of beheading in the whole city earlier.

By the time Wang Zhengxin stepped out of the marshal's mansion, both sides of the street were already crowded with onlookers.

"Look, it's Wang Zhentai, Wang Zhentai actually came out!!"

"Zhentai is so young, it's really a young and promising."

"The soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion are good, cut off the brains of these thieves!"

Wang Zheng listened to the cheers of the people around him, and said in his heart that it was false not to be excited, this excitement had already diluted Fang Cai's sense of loneliness, and as the sound of neat steps got closer and closer, a team of freshly dressed and red-armored people appeared in front of everyone.

Several generals and officers led by him all rode high-headed horses, and Dengzhou Deputy General Huang Yang bore the brunt of the attack, followed by guerrilla generals Deng Heizi and Gao Liang.

When they saw that Wang Zheng was already waiting on the platform, they dismounted and trotted over from a long distance, clasped their fists and said loudly:

"The last general Huang Yang (Deng Heizi, Gao Liang) led the Dengzhou battalion to wear 7,000 regular soldiers, see Zhentai!"

As Huang Yang's words landed, the horsemen dismounted, and the foot soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, shouting in unison:

"See Zhentai!!"

"See Zhentai!!"

......

Tong Shizu, who was in the prisoner car, took advantage of the gap and shouted:

"Wang Zheng, you untrustworthy horseman! Piff!! Hahaha, you horseman, you won't end well!! ”

Tong Shizu is unwilling, to this day, he regrets it very much, he did a good job in Liu Ministry, why did he fall for Wang Zheng in a ghost!

Yuan Rong stood in the prisoner car and stared blankly at the group of people in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, he was running for his life these days, and he didn't have time to look back.

If he had known that the Dengzhou battalion was such a unit, why did he bother to touch the stone with an egg?

The strength of the Dengzhou battalion can be seen, the 5,000 soldiers in Ye County were personally led by Wang Zheng, and Huangyang returned with 3,000 regular soldiers, which was close to 10,000 people.

Moreover, unlike other Ming armies, the Dengzhou battalion, whether it is a regular soldier or a soldier, actually has armor.

The soldiers are fully equipped with iron armor, steel tiger guns, steel knives, axes and guns, and bird guns, and the elite level is not much more than that of the Tartars' infantry armor.

The regular soldiers' equipment is a little worse, but everyone is also in red spiked cloth armor, holding a brand-new standard spear in their hands, all of them are in good spirits, although the team is not yet rigorous, but it is already very neat.

Many of the people saw hope in this disciplined ranks, and they knelt on the ground with the soldiers and bowed to the general on the platform.

"Honored!"

Wang Zheng gave an order, and the soldiers carried the big box and put it on the platform, and suddenly opened it, but it was a piece of fine light, 2,000 Laizhou medals and 3,000 medals for outstanding contributions, which will all be distributed on this day.

There were already some people standing on tiptoe to look this way, and even the people were pointing and whispering, and the people who were going to get these medals were really enviable.

"Look at everything, stand up straight!"

Seeing this situation, Deng Heizi turned around and roared, and the regular soldiers were like thunderbolts, and they immediately straightened their waists and did not squint.

"Hey, the military discipline of the Dengzhou battalion, the defeat of Liu and Yuan is not unjust!"

On a small two-story building not far from this street, a middle-aged man let out this exclamation.

Although this person was wearing civilian clothes, he could see a trace of the majesty of being in the top position for a long time from between his eyebrows, and after listening to his words, Zheng Ping on the side nodded and said:

"What the master said is that I have always heard how the Qi family's army was disciplined back then, and now that I look at it, the Dengzhou camp may not be worse than it."

Zheng Hongkui was jealous, and said without looking back:

"The Dengzhou battalion has actually developed to the point where it is now, and now the two prefectures of Denglai are fighting for the king, and Liu Zeqing has lost more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in this defeat, and I am afraid that he will no longer have the ability to compete with him."

Speaking of this, Zheng Hongkui turned around suddenly and asked solemnly:

"Have the shopkeepers of the Ba Min Commercial Bank been notified?"

"Back to the master, everything has been notified, and I am waiting to visit with the master."

Zheng Hongkui breathed a sigh of relief, this was a big deal, and then he turned his head to look at the cheering building, and said in a cold voice:

"Wang Zheng is not willing to be lonely, there will be no moment to stop, at the moment he only controls the two mansions of Denglai, do you think this is just his ultimate goal? Then you'd be wrong! ”

"At present, his position is only the chief soldier of Denglai, and the two mansions of Denglai are already the maximum range he can meddle in, but this general soldier of Denglai is said to be a general soldier, but in fact it is not a general soldier, it is a fictitious position that may be revoked by the imperial court at any time, how can Wang Zheng be willing?"

Zheng Ping suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise:

"What does the master mean ——, Wang Zheng staring at Liu Zeqing's position as the general soldier of Shandong?"

"Hmph~" Zheng Hongkui snorted coldly, nodded and said:

"The territory has been expanded to the maximum, what is Wang Zheng's next step, if I guess correctly, he will immediately extend his hand to Fujian and Qinhuai, Ninghai salt is so superior, it is a pity to only care about Shandong."

"Besides, the equipment of the Dengzhou battalion costs a lot of money every day."

Zheng Ping nodded respectfully and constantly, naturally not daring to say anything wrong with Zheng Hongkui's analysis.

In fact, Zheng Hongkui came to gamble this time, one gambled that the king had the ability to dominate Shandong, and the second gambled that the king had the idea of opening up Ninghai Salt in Fujian, and even Qinhuai Salt Road.

Since the Ryukyu followed Zheng Zhilong to raise troops, Zheng Hongkui has been gambling all his life, and his favorite is the thrill of gambling, but compared to Zheng Zhilong's arrogance, he likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life, and Wang Zheng is obviously in his eyes.

The Zheng family got a license to sell Ninghai salt, and they could earn a large price difference from it.

At present, the amount of salt in Qinhuai and Fujian is large and rough, and each family is imitating green salt, and Zheng Hongkui has been using Ning Salt, which is not inferior to Lu Salt and Huai Salt.

Now the salt market over there can be described as a muddy water, once Ninghai salt flows into Fujian or even Qinhuai, it can be expected that it will not be long before it will become the first choice for rich and noble people everywhere to replace green salt.

On the contrary, for the Dengzhou camp, handing over the right to sell to the Zheng family can not only make an ally, but also make huge profits, which can completely supply the increasingly expensive expenses.

This deal is a win-win for both the Zheng family and Wang Zheng.
