At the end of August, Jinan Mansion was in full swing to build a grange and recruit troops, and Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, suddenly found Wang Zheng in a hurry, talking about the resurgence of the Liukou.

Qiu County, Dongchang Prefecture, belongs to the territory of Shandong, located in the westernmost part of Shandong Province, and the document records that Qiu County has 300 officers and soldiers, and the total number of members is one, but this is the old version of a few years ago.

In Qiu County today, there are only a few dozen actual officers and soldiers left.

In the middle of August, thousands of rogues under the banner of Ge Liyan, the leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, suddenly came to the city, and without warning, these rogues gathered to attack the city with swords and guns.

On the one hand, when the Liukou had not yet closed the siege, they sent an urgent report to the Futai Yamen for help, and on the other hand, issued a notice to organize the city to defend the city bravely.

But the embarrassing thing is that the Ming army is even inferior to the rogue in the eyes of the people.

Compared with Chuang Ying, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and the rest of the rogues, the five battalions of the left are really named the "righteous army" by the people, and the five battalions of the left are composed of five battalions of Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, King of the Changed World, and King of the Troubled Times, and these five leaders all have the name of "benevolence and righteousness".

When they came to attack, it was too late for the oppressed people in the city to rejoice, so no matter how the county order called, or even dragged it hard, there were few people who were willing to help the 300 officers and soldiers defend the city.

Qiu County is not too dilapidated, and it will not be too difficult to defend in the face of thousands of rogues who do not have heavy siege equipment, but with the help of the internal people, it was quickly breached in less than a day.

Such a rapid rate of collapse caused both inside and outside Dongchang Mansion to be shaken and shocked.

Feeling the crisis of the death of the lips and teeth, the Wengzhou Mansion successively went to the Futai Yamen to complain about the emergency, and also said that the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was called, and only a few thousand rogues caused a big disaster in Shandong, which is a bit ridiculous.

The famous Gezuo Fifth Battalion, the famous Geli Eye, He Yilong, these names have been heard of by both the officials of Dongchang Mansion and the governor Yan Jizu, and this is the one who came to Wang Zheng to discuss.

At that time, it was still late at night, Wang Zheng walked outside for a day, and was closing his eyes and recuperating in the general town mansion, which was several times more spacious than before, Yu'er was quietly pinching her shoulders and beating her back, and suddenly heard the soldiers outside report that Lord Futai Yan was visiting.

Watching Yu'er retreat to the inner room, Wang Zheng got up and thought about it.

Yan Jizu came to find himself a martial artist late at night, regardless of decency and reputation, then something big must have happened.

At that moment, Wang Zhengqiang cheered up and welcomed Yan Jizu in, Yan Jizu's face was terrifyingly dark, and he didn't have time to sit back when he came in, so he said that something was wrong, and handed over a few copies of the Tang Newspaper to Wang Zheng.

Sure enough, Wang Zheng stared at these Tang newspapers, and his face also sank.

At present, he is the general army of Shandong, although Qiu County in Dongchang Prefecture is a little far away, but nominally it is always under his own control, and it was broken by Ge Liyan, and it is difficult to explain it up and down.

People inside Shandong knew that the Dengzhou battalion had not had time to intervene so far in Qiu County, and the fall of Qiu County had nothing to do with the Dengzhou battalion, but other places did not know about this situation, and the impact caused by the spread of the news was too great.

I am afraid that the matter of Qiu County is just the beginning, if Ge Liyan gathers people to attack Dongchang Mansion City, then he is afraid that he will be removed by the angry Emperor Chongzhen after not long after he does it.

Of course, if that's the case, even Liu Yunzhong, the prison guard, and Yan Jizu, the governor, can't run, and Wang Zheng understands why Yan Jizu is so anxious.

After muttering for a long time, Wang Zheng calmed down, got up and smiled and sent Yan Jizu back to the mansion, saying that he had taken this matter to heart and handed it over to the Dengzhou camp to deal with.

Although Yan Jizu was a little unclear, after seeing Wang Zheng's still confident smile, he suddenly nodded and returned to the mansion.

At this moment, he also reacted, how to say that this is also in Wang Zheng's private house, it is already rude to break in late at night, and this matter is not in a hurry, go back and think about it.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Jizu jumped hurriedly in the mansion with a black circle under his eyes, and still didn't think of any way, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves passing by hurriedly on the avenue outside the mansion.

The servant immediately trotted out to take a look, and it didn't take long for him to come back with joy, saying that the horsemen of the Dengzhou battalion had run out of Licheng, and it seemed that he was going to make a move, and Yan Jizu nodded and put his heart down after hearing it.

On this day, the military order of Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Shandong, was quickly sent to the four prefectures of Deng, Lai, Qing and Jinan, and the commanders of the regular troops from all over the country were summoned to the general town of Licheng to discuss important military matters.

The Dengzhou battalion finally began to move, and the soldiers and civilians rushed to tell each other, worried and excited, and many storytellers spat in the tavern and tea inn and said:

Wang Zongzhen convened the Dengzhou battalion and the Han Licheng military meeting, and a big battle with the fifth battalion of the left was inevitable.

......

Three days later, in the hall of the general town of Licheng, dozens of Dengzhou battalion generals with helmets and armor gathered.

In fact, these dozens of people in the lobby are at least at the level of guards, and there are still many thousands of people who can't stand in the hall and are squeezed into the open space outside.

Without exception, the generals standing in the hall were all excited when they heard this, shouting to lead the troops into battle and exterminate the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution.

According to Wang Zheng's thoughts, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo has never intersected with himself, no matter whether the reputation of these rogues is good or bad, since they have come to the Shandong territory, they have done nothing good, and the Dengzhou Battalion cannot let them leave calmly.

How can it be said that the current Shandong is also nominally the territory of the Dengzhou camp, how can it be a place for the rogues to grab a handful of things when they have nothing to do?

Because they were too worried about this matter, Yan Jizu and Liu Yunzhong said that they would also come to participate together, saying that they wanted to see the true face of the heroes of the Dengzhou camp with their own eyes.

At this moment, Yan Jizu was standing in the same position as Wang Zheng, looking at the hundreds of generals who were eager to try under the stage, and suddenly felt that the so-called Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was not so worrying.

In the past, Yan Jizu also participated in many military generals in the general town, and once it came to sending troops, the generals in various places often avoided it and set up a name.

Some people say that their father and mother have to wear linen and wear filial piety to pretend to be pitiful, and some people say that they have just married their daughter-in-law and have not had time to give birth to a son, and they are the only seedlings in the family, and some people even say that they have a stomachache and cannot lead troops to fight.

Anyway, these martial artists can get you out of any ridiculous reason, but the purpose is still the same, and they don't want to lead troops out to defend against the thieves, because they all think they are sending them to death.

But on this day, after looking at the generals of the Dengzhou battalion, Yan Jizu and Liu Yunzhong felt that this was not like they were in the same world.

In the past, I always wondered that the Dengzhou battalion could always win great victories and achieve all kinds of impossible victories, but this time the two suddenly figured it out.

Since the day of its establishment, there have often been some worthless generals in the Dengzhou battalion who have suddenly made great achievements in a certain battle and soared to the sky.

As the head of the town, Wang Zheng took the lead in every battle, and the generals below were naturally demoralized and bravely killed the enemy, as well as the military merit system of the Dengzhou battalion, they had also heard of it.

Yan Jizu has no doubt that these hundreds of generals may come from all over the world, including exiled refugees, farmers who farm, children of bankrupt families, and literati who have thrown pen to paper...

These people used the strength of Saburo to get a lot of military feats on the battlefield, and after almost every battle, there were countless grassroots generals who rose up and gathered around him, that is, under the command of Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Shandong.

Let's ask, how can such an army be invincible?
