The news of the hanged death of the Haizhou garrison He Dahu did not reach the Zhizhou Yamen until the evening, and on the day the Shandong army entered the city, the garrison hanged himself.

Zhizhou is not a novice who has just entered the official career, so he naturally understands the huge amount of information contained in this "self-hanging", but the Zhizhou Yamen was blocked by the Shandong Army early in the morning, and Zhizhou is not only restless.

But even at night, the matter did not seem to be over, and the soldiers of the Shandong army changed their style of entering the city in the past to be safe and not disturb the people, and searched from house to house in the city.

This is also to absorb the losses suffered by Lu Jingrong in Linhong Town, the entry of the guest army into the city was originally taboo by people from all sides, if they show weakness again at this time, there will definitely be people who will make a fuss about the death of the garrison He Dahu.

At all the crossings inside and outside the city, and even the small roads and ditches, there were soldiers of the Shandong army guarding there, but anyone who sneaked out of the city during the first night of the curfew and closed the city would be immediately caught, and not a single fish that slipped through the net was not released.

However, early in the morning of the next day, the people found that the Shandong army was still careful in doing things, and among those who were arrested, some honest people and women with families and families were sent home, leaving only some unrelated ruffians and former Haizhou soldiers.

On this morning, the Shandong army did not continue to let the people stay at home, but relaxed the guards of all walks in the city, and built a simple high platform in the open space in the center of the city overnight.

It is said that this high platform is simple, that is, it is temporarily put together with some wood and stone, which is not much higher than the ground, and what Xing Yidao, Liu Xiong and Lu Jingrong have to do is also very simple.

First of all, he sent soldiers to announce the news to every household in the city, and then followed by the Shandong soldiers who took the prisoners last night to the high platform in batches, and pressed these people down on it.

Those people who were caught on the stage understood their situation, some cried bitterly and begged for mercy, some howled and screamed, and a few even began to scold regardless of it, in short, this kind of sound was endless, and the people who walked out of the door around were shocked.

A few days ago, the people still had some opinions about the behavior of the Shandong army entering Huaibei, but no one dared to say a word at this time, and by now, many people have understood many things in their hearts.

These officers and soldiers from Shandong did not dare to kill people, and when it came to the ability to kill people and fight, these Shandong soldiers were actually a hundred times stronger than those local soldiers who were fake and mighty.

In the past, the reason why they treated people so kindly was to show the difference from ordinary officials and soldiers who oppressed the people, they were reasonable soldiers and horses, not because they were afraid that they would make trouble, and it was not because the generals of this army were incompetent.

Right now, on the high platform in the center of Haizhou City, the red and purple blood has flowed down like a river, and hundreds of heads are constantly tumbling to the ground.

In order to prevent the corpses from polluting the environment, some Shandong soldiers kept wandering around the high platform, splashing lime on the heads that had just been thrown off and the headless bodies.

Lu Jingrong, Xing Yidao and Liu Xiong, the three generals of the Shandong Army, stood on the platform with their hands behind their backs, looking at all this indifferently, as if killing these hundreds of people had no effect on them.

Lu Jingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little angry in his heart.

Originally, he had the same mind as Wang Zheng, thinking that with the current strength of the Shandong Army, it would not be easy to control Huai'an Mansion after gaining fame, but he didn't expect to encounter so many things as soon as he came in.

Not only that, when they came in, it was not a peaceful road, and the road was intercepted by horse thieves intermittently, although there was no damage, but these little thieves lingered, and it was a headache to get rid of them.

Things are snowballing like this, listening to Lu Jingrong say that it was the Huai'an Chai family who attacked the Shandong army, and it was the head of the family Chai Lu who went out in person.

They should have reported to the marshal as soon as possible, but the three of them thought about it, if they couldn't handle this little matter well, what kind of impression would it be to reach the ears of their own commander-in-chief, and I was afraid that any important tasks in the future would not be handed over to the three of them.

But this task is not so simple to complete, not only the powerful and the people have resistance to the Shandong army, but even the salt merchants who openly invite the king into the urn have no good intentions, they just want to protect the salt road with the hands of the Shandong army.

As long as it is stable, they will definitely use all their connections to get the Shandong army out of the boundary of Huai'an Mansion immediately, it is easy to dodge with open guns, and it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows, it seems that the matter of Huai'an Mansion is urgent.

Anyway, it can drag on for a while, and now that his side has firmly occupied Haizhou, it is not the Shandong Army that takes out more than one million taels of snowflakes and silver every year, and the three of them called the accompanying staff officer of the Military Council, and discussed it all night, but they still feel that it is most prudent to use the old method.

Start with the people, stabilize the people first, as long as their resisting thoughts go down, this Huai'an Mansion matter will be easy to handle.

......

Huai'an Mansion began to move forward steadily, but since Wang Zheng led the 12th battalion of soldiers out of Shandong from Wengzhou Mansion, there was no day of stability, and it did not stop at night.

If you want to say that the provinces of the Central Plains today, if you don't come out, you really can't imagine what the chaos will become, and now Wang Zheng has led the army out of Guide Mansion and came to the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan.

But this road has not been stable, although the Shandong army is a battalion of nearly 20,000 soldiers, and Wang Zheng scattered the sentry early, but there are still many small bandits and thieves and rogues who continue to harass.

However, these people fought on their own, and few of them were in danger to the left and right armies, let alone the Chinese army led by Wang Zheng himself, and most of them were wiped out by the cavalry battalions supported by high speed.

On the way from Shandong to Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, he had to pass through the whole of Henan, and now Henan was one of the happiest places for the peasant army, and Wang Zheng clearly understood that Li Zicheng would never let himself go to Xiangyang to arrange defense in peace.

In September last year, the Qing army entered the border by two routes, the Beijing division was under martial law, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led the army into the guard, and the number of officers and troops in the northwest was reduced.

Zhang Xianzhong led his troops like a bamboo, even broke Fang County, Baokang and other places, and annihilated the Zuo Liangyu army in Luo Monkey Mountain, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and ordered to hunt and kill Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, and then sent Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, to supervise the army.

At the same time, Luo Rucai, alias "Cao Cao", annihilated the official army in Xiangyouping, but not long ago he and Zhang Xianzhong were defeated in Agate Mountain and Kuizhou successively, and were forced to transfer to Sichuan.

Yang Sichang was eager to suppress the thieves, and led the main force to pursue into Sichuan, and Li Zicheng took the opportunity to advance into Henan to implement his strategic goal of occupying "Heluo".

Not long after, the slogan of "welcoming the king, not paying for food" rose up, which made the camp quickly develop into tens of thousands of people, and it was critical to supervise Xiangyang.

Yang Sichang was anxious, but he was suffering from the lack of troops to adjust, so he sent the order to Shandong and ordered Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Shandong, to lead the battalions of the Shandong Army to attack Li Zicheng in Henan to protect Xiangyang.
