When Zhao Neng led the troops out of Jinan City, the whole province of Shandong plus the two Huai, which was still in full swing, suddenly became quiet, and the previous sound of praise seemed to have never been born.

The literati are not better than the people, they know more about national affairs, and naturally they know the great achievements of the Tartar army over the years, and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have never been a little cheap, once the battle is engaged, even if they are guarding the Jincheng soup pond and using Western cannons, they are often drummed down, and in word of mouth, those Tartars have become the magical existence of galloping horses and bowing eagles. Although the Jiaozhou battalion was also strong and won many battles, the victories were all achieved by officers and soldiers and thieves.

With such a low standard of officers and soldiers as a reference, the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Jiaozhou battalion is also debatable, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion are not very good, Jinan City has been built over the years like a hedgehog, and it is still a little safe to guard inside, these stupid presumptuous people actually ran out to fight in the field, who has ever heard of which Ming army and the Tartar field battle have negotiated a little cheaper? A good young man, if he goes like this, he will definitely not come back.

This situation is really dangerous, Zhendong General Li Meng almost brought seventy percent of Shandong's soldiers and horses to Nanzhili, originally looked like a trick, now it seems that this Tartar army is the real wonderful, the timing of the arrival is just right, just when to rush to Shandong is the weakest.

You say it's okay to keep it, but you still stupidly go out to fight, this is to blame others for looking for death, isn't this taking the meat and sending it to the Tartars to gnaw?

The Tartar army is coming and going, and then someone in Shandong, who is greatly injured, will definitely come in to replace it, thinking about whether he will cause trouble if he has written so many articles praising merit and virtue, thinking of this, almost everyone is silent, and began to study behind closed doors, not asking about the world.

The last days naturally have the image of the end times, and there is impassioned. But more of this kind of moral corruption, profit-seeing, forgetfulness of righteousness, they are all grass on the wall, when Shandong's prestige is strong, it is natural to hover around touting, hoping to get some benefits on it, and look at the crisis. It's dodging again, lest you run into trouble.

Zhao Neng led a large army out of Jinan, all the way to the city of Dezhou at noon on November 20, within three days, the news has been along the post road of the Jiaozhou camp, the official road of the government, and all kinds of news circulation channels, to the big towns in Shandong.

There was silence. There was silence, and there were even some people in Yanzhou Mansion who were ready to move, which made people feel absurd. Confucius Mansion and Lu Wangfu actually had a big feast to celebrate, they were also the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars went south, they would also be damaged, when this catastrophe, they were still so gloating, always felt that this huge disaster had nothing to do with themselves.

In this era, these big aristocratic families were often like this, and Zhang Xianzhong besieged Wuchang. The local bureaucrats asked the king of Chu to take some money out to assist the army, and the prince actually pointed to the chair given by Hong Wuye and said that only this thing can be used to assist the army, which is really ridiculous and sad.

After arriving in Texas, Zhao Neng stopped for two days, and at this time the number of soldiers and horses he led had increased to more than 21,000 people, and scattered people and horses from all over the way came to gather, and the team was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. This kind of battle that is bound to be lost, everyone can still order and prohibit it, which is probably an important place in Shandong that is different from other groups in this era. Of course, most people can't see it.

Soldier God. But it takes time to prepare and set up in Texas. Because of the march on the territory of Shandong. A large amount of grain and grass are heavy. Logistical supplies. It can be supplemented by the establishment of transit warehouses on the main transportation routes. But after going out of Shandong. Everything will depend on the transportation of Shandong rear.

The Texas area was set up in Tuntian Grange. This was well thought out in the first place. In order to be in the place where the army is moving. Mobilize manpower as a people's husband and strong. Responsible for the transportation of large armies and various miscellaneous work. The troops went to the vicinity of Texas. Fortified barracks were ready. Grain is in the storeroom. Weapons. Gunpowder. The lead shot is also ready to stop. War horses and pack animals were also placed in place. The so-called land is prepared. Today, the evidence is finally confirmed.

Wucheng, Wudingzhou, Linyi, Pingyuan, and Dezhou were also concentrated in Dezhou. In the north of Lu, these tuntian granges. I also know the news of the arrival of the Tartar army. And they're right on the right track. It's inevitable that people will be panicked.

If there is no corresponding force to subdue the guards. I don't know what the hell is going to happen. To be on the safe side. It is still necessary to have second-line troops and security forces come here to guard the county seats. Grange Village. Stability is guaranteed. It also deterred local heroes.

Dezhou is the hub of water 6 and Shandong. All kinds of information are summarized to Zhao Neng here. The Shandong Army rebuilt a reconnaissance network for Hebei. A large number of scouts were dispatched to search. Messages come like a stream. After Tianjin was broken. The progress of the Tartar army was a little slower. But castration is still unstoppable. After the city of Tianjin. The quiet sea along the canal was quickly broken.

Wait until the logistics of supplies and the like are replenished. News came again. Qingxian County ordered to abandon the city and flee. The city was full of military and civilian routs. The enemy has not arrived. The city is empty.

Jingzhou East, Dezhou North, this is already in the territory of Beizhili, and the soldiers and horses of Shandong will have nothing to do with this place at all.

Moreover, the Tartars went south, and the entire Northern Zhili did not issue any other orders except for the messengers sent by the Jingshi to transfer troops and Qin Wang everywhere, not even orders such as local resistance, or the coexistence of the army and the people with the city.

Everyone is in a mess, each doing its own thing, the original upper and lower assignment feedback between the prefecture, the state, and the county is interrupted, and everyone is acting like a headless fly.

The same is true in Jingzhou, Zhizhou and the others have long been desperate, I heard that the county order of Naqing County abandoned the city and fled, but gave them these officials who didn't know how to be good in a direction, everyone thought, just ran away, and didn't have to bear any responsibility.

Everywhere along the river, there are many large and small warehouses, more or less some of the materials are stored, this year is not good, many people are staring at these things, the situation is chaotic, some scoundrels began to loot, and the situation quickly became uncontrollable.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Jingzhou also participated, and in addition to the warehouses on the canals, even the common people and large families in the interior of the city began to be looted.

This side is close to Shandong. From top to bottom, the people are relatively close to Shandong, and in such a mess, no one thought of going to the imperial court at all, but went to Texas for help.

Zhao Neng led the army to come, just in time for this chaos. Originally, Zhao Neng needed the local officials of Jingzhou to provide people and guides, as well as some auxiliary materials, and was about to send someone to contact, who would have thought that he would encounter such a situation, although Zhao Neng, the general who guarded Dengzhou, was a loyal person, but he also followed the common means of the Jiaozhou battalion to deal with such things.

A general manager sent to contact the governor of Jingzhou led a battalion of soldiers to Jingzhou City, although it will take a long time for the Tartar army to come, but the city is already like a broken city. It's just that it is the scoundrels of the city who are washing and looting there, and the smoke and dust are everywhere, a chaotic scene.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion entered the city from the east gate. Starting from the east gate, every household was washed over, and all those who encountered chaos and robbery, regardless of the severity of the crime, were cut off their heads.

There are soldiers with good voices shouting in front, "Officers and soldiers enter the city, there is a curfew at this time, and no one will go back to their homes", and the back is simply killing.

In such a situation of collapse of law and order, the only way is to kill people with hands, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion can be said to not have much momentum. The east side was quiet, but the other places still couldn't stop the chaos, but after two hours, the small Jingzhou City was dead silent.

This is winter, and there is no fear of corpses rotting, and the local people in Jingzhou City come to clean up these corpses, but the soldiers in the Jiaozhou camp are too lazy to take care of them, so the streets of Jingzhou City are full of corpses, and all of them are corpses with their heads cut off. All the rioters and some who didn't have time to get home were beheaded.

Jingzhou Zhizhou Yamen, after seeing this, inexplicable thoughts actually settled down, as for why the Shandong soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in Jingzhou without a will, without an official document, this unreasonable system of things no one to mention, the request to this thousand is full of promise.

Go and fight the Tartars, whether the act itself is wise or not. But it's always filled with some sacred flavor. There is always nothing wrong with serving the country with loyalty. Do your best to cooperate with this kind of thing, on the bright side. Everyone is duty-bound.

Killing people to stabilize law and order is a trivial matter for the Jiaozhou camp, and it is too late for Jingzhou to thank him, so naturally he will not say much, but there are some unexpected aftermaths afterwards. After many years, there are always rumors that the Jiaozhou battalion army will enter Jingzhou to extort military supplies, and the Jingzhou soldiers will be mighty and unyielding, and they will resist with righteousness, but the Jiaozhou battalion army will be annoyed and angry, and lead the troops to slaughter the city, causing a great tragedy, and there is a deep pit outside the city where a large number of bones are buried, which is really unclear.

On November 25, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, when Zhao Neng was building fortifications in Anling Town, east of Jingzhou and close to the canal, he received news from the sentinel that the Tartar army had already passed Cangzhou and was about to reach Banbidian.

Banbidian is already a town in the south of Cangzhou, and it is two days away from Anling Town at most, and this news shocked Zhao Neng.

In other words, after a few days of unhurried marching, the Manchu army suddenly advanced, but they already knew that the Jiaozhou battalion was waiting for it in the south.

It is said that among the Hejian Mansions, the richest place is Cangzhou, where the Changlu Salt Administration is located, and the salt has been in for hundreds of years, and there are some rich families who are comparable to the country, and it is really a little wrong not to grab a handful. And there the militia and the officers and soldiers still have a certain strength, the local martial arts are very strong, there are a lot of arms fights on weekdays, the clan is very strong, the elite family of the rich is said to be no worse than the general soldier Neiding, the city wall and the fort are very solid, the supply of grain and grass is also sufficient, if the Manchu soldiers and horses attack, they can't take it in a hurry, and they will always buy some time for the Jiaozhou camp team.

Who would have thought that after conquering Jinghai, the Tartar soldiers and horses would ignore the rich Cangzhou, but instead rush forward, which was really unprepared.

But the Dengzhou army led by Zhao Neng, the cavalry sentinels who scattered out did not encounter the Tartars' soldiers and horses, and the same is true of the hidden piles buried everywhere, it is said that the Tartars should not know the existence of the Jiaozhou army in the front, so why is it so urgent?

If the Tartar army marched according to this degree, the soldiers and horses led by Zhao Neng would not have time to build a complete defense system in Anling Town, so that the Tartars would meet in front of the fortifications and break their blood.

In fact, the Tartar soldiers and horses did not act like this, but it was very normal, and the reason why they fought Jizhou was to make a posture of attacking the Beijing Division. Attract soldiers and horses from all over the Northern Zhili to gather in the area of the Beijing Division, so as to give the Tartar army a larger and freer space to move.

The reason for fighting Tianjin Sanwei is that the target of Tianjin Sanwei's worthwhile looting is the firearms manufacturing craftsmen, and if these people pass first regardless of the army, they will run away by themselves and will not be able to catch them when they come back.

And the rest of the place. If too much energy is wasted on it now, and a large amount of gold, silver, and population are moved south, it will definitely delay the mobility of the troops and affect the flexibility of the army.

In a place like Cangzhou, it is not too late to loot when the army returns to the division, and it has been close to half a month since the entry into the customs, and the news has gradually spread in the Ming Dynasty, Shandong and other places should be prepared, and the Ming officers and troops who have gathered in Beijing should also have some action.

These days have been about keeping things moving. Suddenly adding a march, this change can make the soldiers and horses of all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty already judge the arrival time according to the progress of the previous line. miscalculated, so that when the army arrives, it can surprise the other party.

Unexpected and unprepared, these two emotions really made Zhao Neng feel the Jiaozhou camp.

In Shandong, and even in the army, the generals of the Jiaozhou battalion have all kinds of evaluations, and their positions are different. The evaluation of people is also very different, but among them, the evaluation of Zhao Neng is surprisingly consistent, that is, loyalty and diligence.

Zhao Neng was originally older than Li Meng, and before participating in the salt pole, he was just an honest farmer and a salt-boiling military household, he was not a general, he was not edified, he had no tradition, and he had no military quality and command skills. He didn't even have any concept of training troops, but he was very diligent, and Li Meng gave him it, and after he understood it, he carried it out meticulously.

Judging the general trend, judging the enemy's situation, and making decisions in the face of the enemy, Zhao Neng is deficient, but he is diligent in training. The combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses. but it is strong enough; He was also very cautious with his troops, and he set up camps. It is also sturdy enough and is often criticized as wasteful, qualities that can make up for a lot.

And the battles that Zhao Neng participated in basically would not let him bear one aspect, all under the direct command of Li Meng, he could faithfully carry it out, and the same is true for letting him stay behind this time, there are a few big people who can judge the command, as long as Zhao Neng is loyal and obedient.

But the current situation is unexpected, it is said that Sun Chuanting should come in person, but the defense of Jinan Mansion and Dongchang Mansion also needs this military-talented "Mr. Gongsun" to dispatch and command, and he can't go, Zhao Neng must make this judgment by himself and command himself.

"I heard that the Tartars came this time with the general's artillery ground, and that cannon may not be inferior to our twelve-pounder cannon, even if we are guarding in this town, I'm afraid we will still let the other party blast away!"

"I'm afraid of her mother, let's go out to fight, who are you afraid of in the Jiaozhou camp!!"

"Do you want to send someone back to Jinan City to ask?"

"Ask a ghost, I'm afraid that when our messenger arrives in Jinan City, the army of Tartars should come over!!"

In the military camp outside Anling Town, Zhao Neng and the battalion commanders were among them, and everyone argued together, speaking of the artillery, everyone was worried, because most of the battles were in Nanzhili and Henan, and most of the artillery of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau was supplied to the needs of the old battalion and a few places in the south.

At present, the artillery production of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is insufficient, and the equipment of all units is seriously insufficient. And this time, most of Shandong's artillery are excellent and good guns. This time, the Dengzhou Army attacked Texas, and there was no supplement to the heavy equipment at all, and it was all the original equipment.

For the sake of Jinan's safety, some of them were left for Jinan City as city defense weapons, and at present, the Dengzhou Army's own artillery is only ten, six three-pounder cannons, and four six-pounder cannons. Although it is used in field battles, it is light and convenient, far better than the heavy twelve-pounder cannon, but this time the opponent is the unparalleled Tartar elite cavalry in the field world, they run like thunder, and it is too dangerous to go out to the field, but if you fight according to the battalion, the opponent's ** is difficult to match.

For the Tartar soldiers and horses outside the gate, from Li Meng to the non-commissioned officers below, there is such an understanding that the Tartar soldiers and horses are brave and elite. However, the equipment is inferior to the Jiaozhou battalion a lot, firearms, artillery are the advantages of the Jiaozhou battalion, the "Jinan Military Brochure" has been mentioned separately, our Jiaozhou camp advantage is firearms, to the maximum in the battle.

When they left Jinan City, they thought the same thing. Therefore, the artillery left for Jinan City was still Zhao Neng's initiative.

Who would have thought that with the march all the way north, the defeated refugees encountered, and the spies who inquired about the news, the intelligence of the Manchu army became clearer and clearer.

A large number of horse teams, including Jurchen Tartars and Mongol Tartars, are all the same as before, there are great generals, there are firecrackers, which has never been heard of before. If this army follows the progress of the past, Zhao Neng's side may still be able to draw firearms from Jinan.

But the other party suddenly added, which has completely dispelled such a possibility. Zhao Neng knew that he was deficient in judgment, and the officers of the various battalions who had experience in the barracks might be able to make deeper and more accurate judgments, so it was better to let all of them be called to discuss, and maybe they could get a result.

However, Li Meng and the officers around him themselves are deficient in this aspect, and they have led thousands of generals in the pro-military camp, and they can be strong there.

There was a lot of debate in the military tent, but no useful conclusions could be reached. Zhao Neng's heart was unusually irritable, and after an hour, he terminated the discussion and asked these officers to return to the camp to wait for orders.

In such a situation in front of him, he didn't know what to do, Zhao Neng had no choice but to think so, he was greatly favored by the handsome. At this time, it's a big deal to lose this life......

"Lord Zhao, Mr. Ou asks to see you!"

The soldiers outside the tent raised their voices to preach, Zhao Neng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that this "Mr. Ou" was the foreigner Garris. Auman, when he left, he and the experimental battalion stayed in Jinan to experiment with various tactics, and his status was equivalent to the deputy general manager of the experimental battalion, but the experimental battalion was directly subordinate to Wang Hai. Vaguely, this foreigner is the leader of the experimental camp.

This time, we put together a patchwork of troops and horses. The experimental battalions are all veterans, and they are the most elite. This time, it was natural to send them out together, and the argument was an internal matter of the Dengzhou Army, and Auman was an old battalion system and a foreigner, so naturally he did not invite him.

Who would have thought that this foreigner would actually take the initiative to come to the door, Zhao Neng was irritable in his heart, and he had no intention of seeing each other at all, and he had been guarding the land of Denglai for a long time, and he had very little contact with foreigners, so he instinctively had a kind of disgust. But after thinking about it, Ouman is about the same status as Mr. Gongsun after all, so don't refuse rashly, and reluctantly say "please" at the moment.

Ouman wore the armor of the battalion and strode in, the Jiaozhou battalion attached great importance to the military appearance, but the old mercenary from the German region had the same opinion, he believed that in order to cultivate a soldier's sense of honor as a soldier and a sense of belonging to the army, military appearance and military discipline were a very key factor.

The Jiaozhou battalion's cultivation in this area made him feel that he had made the right choice, so he did not have a long time in this army, but he tried his best to connect and imitate it, plus the foundation in Europe in the past, it was really clear-sighted.

After coming in, according to the current officer class, Ou Man stood upright, and gave a military salute with his left fist on his chest, seeing the other party's style, Zhao Neng was very comfortable, and even went with that bad feeling, and said:

"Mr. Ou, what is the matter here?"

"General, according to Mr. Gongsun's opinion, we must hold back the army of the barbarians, and we must not defend in this Anling Town, but take the initiative to fight!!"

Today's argument, this is the first person to give a clear judgment, although this person is a foreigner, Zhao Neng still feels refreshed.

"General, this kind of plain has passed through any of the lands I have seen in my hometown and the surrounding countries, and I am afraid that the only land that can be compared with this place is the land east of Poland."

The interpreter on the side bowed his head and stood respectfully, but his mouth kept talking, adjusting the non-Chinese words and abnormal word order in Ouman's words.

"Such a vast plain, even tens of thousands of cavalry can make large-scale maneuvers, regardless of the restrictions of the terrain, Mr. Gongsun's order to our legion is to drag the large army of the barbarians, but if we hold in this town, first, we will not be able to resist the opponent's heavy artillery, and second, the other party can completely ignore us, bypass us, and run to a safe distance."

Auman's status as a gentleman allows him to know some information that officers of this rank cannot know, and it also allows him to make a more comprehensive analysis.

After following the army out of Jinan and marching to Beizhili, Ouman was greatly shocked, not for the army and the situation, but because of the terrain.

At this time, Europeans could not imagine the enormity of the Ming Empire. The provinces of the Ming Empire were already the size of the German region, and many small countries were even the size of the provincial state capitals, and the mountainous Fujian, the hills of Shandong, and the great plains of Beizhili were completely different concepts.

Sun Chuanting's judgment naturally had to be corrected here at Ouman, and according to his observations, after Zhao Neng's army came to Anling Town. In Jinan Mansion, Mr. Gongsun's judgment and command were not wrong, but when he arrived at the scene, he had to make corrections according to the specific situation.

"Our soldiers and officers, their hometown is behind Shandong, if the barbarian army bypasses Anling Town and enters Shandong directly, even if they have to turn back to fight. But because of worrying about their loved ones, morale will also be lowered, and even riots will occur. ”

Zhao Neng was awe-inspiring. Those opinions about the land of Oumandi were all gone, and he asked in a solemn voice:

"Mr. Ou, what should we do!!"

"Take the initiative to attack, at present, the degree of the barbarian army has begun to accelerate, delaying their actions, and only taking the initiative to fight."

Zhao Neng frowned, tugged at his beard, greeted Ou Man, and the two turned around together and came to the map hanging in the military tent. You can see the names of places in front of the Grand Canal, and the places crossed out with red crosses on them are all written down by the Tartars, and the arrows are the direction in which the Tartars are advancing.

Seeing this map, everything became clearer, and Auman groaned and said:

"Although the barbarian army avoids the big cities to speed up the march, if such an army stops them in their way, as long as it is a normal commander, it will definitely come to fight. I heard that in the past ten years, the legions of the Ming Empire have never won in front of the barbarians, general, your legions appear in front of them, and the barbarian generals will definitely not avoid it, but will come forward to fight and destroy him! ”

The degree of translation is a little difficult to keep up, Auman. Garris paused for a moment to wait, then continued:

"Although most of the opponents are cavalry, most of our side are infantry, and they are not as mobile. But if you take the initiative. A stalemate can negate their mobility advantage. Drag it until the moment reinforcements come! ”

Hearing the judgment and analysis of this foreigner, Zhao Neng took a few deep breaths, he had already made up his mind, he stared at the location of the southern half of the store in Cangzhou, his eyes kept moving downward, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a point, and said affirmatively:

"Our army will pull out the camp and go north tomorrow, and the Tartar army is heading south, if nothing happens, we will meet with the Tartars' soldiers and horses in Dongguang County!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Neng turned around and shouted:

"It is rumored that the commander of each battalion will come to my military tent to discuss matters!!"

The intention of the general Doro Rao Yu Bel Abatai was indeed in the judgment of Sun Chuanting and Ou Man, or in other words, the generals above the level of this era could make such a judgment.

Unfortunately, the modern color is very strong, and the officer group trained by Li Meng, who was born as a non-commissioned officer, lacks this, and the training time required for this is indeed very long, and the required environment is also very high.

Compared with the East Asian troops of the same era, the troops with the Manchu Eight Banners as the core were indeed lean, and the additional march and large-scale maneuver of Abatai were actually things of conventional common sense, but if the same action was done by the displaced people and the officers and soldiers, the troops would probably be dispersed.

The so-called maneuver is to cross the frozen canal from the canal in the north of Cangzhou and move westward for 30 miles, then turn southeast and come to the area of Banbidian.

If there is a movement of the Ming army or a pursuer around, this maneuver will almost be exposed, but as Abatai expected, there are no pursuers and ambushes, and the next thing is to go south with all his strength, ready to let go of his hands and feet to grab people, gold, silver, and livestock.

What Abatai and his generals did not expect was that they were maneuvering, not to mention Cangzhou, which had long been panicked, the soldiers and civilians in the cities of Hejian Fucheng, Jiaohe, Xian County, Nanpi, and Yanshan were all frightened, and the city of Hejian was closed on the same day, and the county orders of Jiaohe and Nanpi County abandoned the city and fled, and the people and soldiers also flocked to the prefecture and county in the west, and the two counties of Xian County and Yanshan were directly in chaos, and many young people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

For a while, the situation was extremely unbearable......

This is nothing, what no one in the world expected is that the emperors, ministers, and generals in the capital division. No one knows where the Tartars are now, and how they move. Around the capital, counting the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the king of Qin everywhere, there are 200,000, but there is combat effectiveness, which is pitiful.

The Tartar army entered the Korn. The world is shaken, but the performance of the center is like this, which really makes the hearts of the people in the world chill, but this is also helpless, not to mention the defeat of several times outside the pass, in the Central Plains and the invasion of the homeless army, the consumption of the local troops, the loss of generals, and the military expenses of the astronomical figures. None of them were smaller than the losses in the war with the Manchus.

Nowadays, there are no soldiers, no generals, and no money, so what can be done there, not to mention that there are still party struggles and infighting inside and outside the government and the opposition. It's even more of a delay.

As for Shandong on the border of Beizhili, there are soldiers and generals, but you can't count on it, the more obvious Li Meng's ambition is, this person is already thankful for making trouble later, how dare you expect him to be the king of Qin.

Later, when people look at history, they will indeed feel that the Mandate of Heaven may really exist, and the Ming Empire has gone through more than 200 years. encountered internal and external troubles.

The rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens, although the Ming Dynasty and their battles did not take any advantage, but they could still deal with it calmly, but in the last years of the Apocalypse to the Chongzhen period, a catastrophe fell from the sky, and the displaced people in Shaanxi rose up, one inside and one outside, and the Ming Empire began to be overwhelmed.

Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and even Yang Sichang and other governors led officers and soldiers to drive Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and others into a desperate situation several times. At that time, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Dichuang, was caught and executed, but every time he rushed into a desperate situation, he was about to be killed, and then the court mobilized soldiers and horses to surround and block the Tartars, but it gave the internal homeless thieves a chance to breathe and let them recover.

The border affairs calmed down a little, but as a result, the militia and horses recovered again, and the imperial court continued to quell the rebellion. And so on and so forth. None of them can be perfectly solved, but both sides are constantly expanding.

to this year. The continuous catastrophes in the north have finally eased, and places like Shandong, which are not too chaotic, can even be said to be "smooth in the wind and rain".

However, the army of displaced people who had risen out of the original struggle for survival had become an armed group fighting for the world, and the Manchurian Tatars outside the Guanxi had also had a complete military and civil affairs system, all of which had become a climate, and the Ming Empire was constantly weakened in this alternating internal and external disaster.

The power of the power of the other, the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty, the dark age of the Chinese nation is so slow but irreversible coming, from the beginning to the end of the overall analysis, it really seems to be in the dark, there is really some irreversible fate, let the Ming Empire perish.

Similarly, the Han Chinese nation, which was thousands of years ahead of the civilized world, also began to be slowly overtaken by Western civilization in the late Ming Dynasty.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty won the country, the Chinese nation fell into darkness, stagnated for hundreds of years, and even the possibility of catching up was lost, and when it came to the Opium War, the country was knocked open by cannons, and then fell into a humiliating backward more than 100 years, which is the darkest age of thousands of years of Chinese civilization.

Li Meng's arrival disrupted the outcome of this underworld, and he and his local group wanted to change the coming darkness, chaos and destruction of the countless Han people and countless children of the Chinese nation.

With the actions of General Zhendong and Shandong General Li Meng in the past year, everyone in the world regards them as Dong Zhuo and An Lushan's generation, and the group of such careerists and generals is often a barbaric, greedy for money and profit, and intriguing groups.

But Li Meng, his officer corps, his Jiaozhou battalion, and his Shandong are completely different from this common concept, Li Meng and his subordinates, regardless of their status, civil officials and military generals, all have a sense of mission, a kind of incompetence at the upper level, and we need our Shandong soldiers and horses to come forward to save this era and this country.

Therefore, although the main force of the Jiaozhou battalion is in Nanzhili, Shandong is empty, and the Tartar army is strong and menacing, and this battle is more auspicious. But the general Zhao Neng did not hesitate and led the troops to battle.

In the eyes of the Jiaozhou battalion, this behavior should have been taken for granted, but in the eyes of the people of the world, the actions of the Jiaozhou battalion were like their brains burned out, and they were completely fools.

At noon on November 27, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, twenty-five miles west of Dongguang County on the side of the canal, Zhang, a spy of the Dengzhou Army of the Jiaozhou Battalion who went out to investigate for a day, wandered out and checked for a few hours, the North China Plain is vast, the cavalry of the Dengzhou Army is relatively small, and the scope of detection is relatively large, Zhang came out of the barracks, did not see his companions, and finally saw a cavalry in the distance at noon.

Tanma Zhang thought it was his companion, and hurriedly urged the horse to run over there, and the other party estimated that it was the same, and he was also urging the horse to come over.

The battle began......

There are a lot of things in Lao Bai's family, I hope you can help me pray for blessings, so that this matter will be shown in a good direction, thank you, I will tell you clearly in the future.

Thank you for asking for a monthly pass
