Zu Bian clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Li Tingyu: "Lord Li treats my ancestral brother kindly, my ancestor will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely saddle his horse in the future, obey the drive, and repay the kindness of the adult!"

Li Tingyu sighed twice, responded casually, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Zubian, this person is a high-ranking official of Qinggou, kill him, you will have no way out, but you have to think clearly." ”

This was taught to him by Wang Huan just now, and when he said it at this time, he wanted to stimulate Zubian and make this stunned man's nerves more excited, as long as he slaughtered Li Wancai, he would also break off the idea of surrendering to the Qing court.

Li Tingyu didn't have this idea, he just wanted to give Zubian a favor, as for whether Zubian killed Li Wancai or not, it didn't matter, anyway, even if Li Wancai fled back, he would have already gone away. Wang Huan saw much farther away, he knew very well that as soon as the white pole soldiers left, there would be a few people left on the lake, Ma Quan and a few others would be left behind, if you want to firmly control the water thieves, it is not possible to not move your mind, let the ancestors kill Li Wancai, it is an insurance, which can effectively prevent the water thieves from regretting afterwards and killing the three members of the Qing court.

So Li Tingyu said extremely sinister words on his lips, and at the same time slandered in his heart: "Scholars are vicious, this trick seems simple, but it cuts off the back road of the ancestral brothers, no matter how you jump in the future, you can't jump out of Lao Tzu's palm, but I still pretend to persuade now, this is really cheap and good." Or the Senate is ruthless enough! ”

Sure enough, Zu Bian listened to Li Tingyu's words, the green tendons on his forehead bulged a few times, and he walked quickly towards Li Wancai on the ground without saying a word.

Li Wancai's soul was scattered, his bound body writhed on the ground, and he screamed: "I am a member of the third grade, if you don't kill me, it's easy to say anything, ask for money for money, ask for ......"

Before he could say what promise he was going to make, Zu Bian's knife had already slashed his neck like lightning, and the knife flashed, as fast as lightning, and he saw Zu Bian throw the knife casually, and it fell to the ground with a "boom", Wang Huan took a look, and the blade didn't even stick to the blood.

The second half of Li Wancai's sentence was blocked in his throat, and the whole person froze on the ground, maintaining a terrifying expression, as if he had been immobilized, and he didn't move until the ancestor turned around and walked away, and the head fell from his neck with a bang, and the column of blood more than a foot high spurted up, flew into the air, and turned into a rain of blood falling all over the sky.

Although Zu Bian had already walked away, he was also splashed a few drops of blood rain on his face, making his hideous face look more and more terrifying, and Wang Huan's legs and stomach flashed a few times involuntarily, although it was not the first time he had seen such a scene of killing people in person, Wang Huan who had crossed over was still very uncomfortable, watching the human head rolling on the ground, and the things in his stomach turned a few times in his throat, and it was easy to hold back and not vomit on the spot.

"My lord, since Zubian and my eldest brother are fortunate to be human again, they will cherish it in every way, please rest assured, in our hearts, only Lord Li will ignore the others. As for Qinggou's side, even if there is no adult recruiting this time, we will not pay attention to it, there is no way to retreat, the ancestral brothers have never thought of it! Zu Bian walked up to Li Tingyu and said loudly.

Wang Huan listened to his words, without mentioning half a word of Ming Ting, and opened and closed his mouth with Master Li, knowing in his heart that this was the practice in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Since the end of Chongzhen, the commander-in-chief and the governor-general have been independent warlords, supporting their own troops on their own territory, and the imperial court cannot control it at all, forming an independent kingdom, and the system of decentralization of power of the three constitutions has long existed in name only, and in some places, such as Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang, has even controlled the tax revenue and the appointment and dismissal of officials, which is even more arrogant than the emperor. These circumstances are very clear in the ancestral side of the Li family, the ancestor of the warlords of Liaodong.

Moreover, the imperial court has not paid salaries to the army except for the four major towns for many years, so the surrender of Zubian is to surrender to Li Tingyu, and then it is considered Li Tingyu's private soldier, so he should naturally be loyal to Li Tingyu, not to the Ming court. This is also an important reason why the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty was large but vulnerable, Shi Kefa guarded Yangzhou alone, and no one responded to the rescue order issued by the cabinet department, which is a typical example. Everyone has their own little calculations, who cares about the survival of your court.

Li Tingyu was very upright, directly pulled Wang Huan to his side, and introduced him to Zu Bian: "Zu Bian, this is the senator in my army, Lord Wang Huan, the general's cronies and military advisors, all the schemes and plans are from the hands of Senator Wang, he is the humerus in our army, without him, I am afraid that the general has already died many times, in the future, his words will be equal to the words of the general, you must obey the senator's orders." ”

Wang Huan bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zu, Wang Huan is polite." ”

Although the ancestral people are a little straight, a little honest, but not stupid, from the beginning of the chaos Wang Huan pointed to his nose and scolded, he felt that this bald boy in Li Tingyu's army has an extraordinary status, think about it, a hairy boy who has not grown hair, dare to stand up and scold the other party's main general when the two armies are facing each other, this courage and courage is not owned by ordinary people, that righteous scolding, now it is still in the ears, swaying people's hearts. And listening to Li Tingyu's introduction, this person seems to be the think tank of the white pole soldiers, and he is the second person in the army, although the person does not look very similar, but Li Tingyu said it himself, so he can't fake it!

So Zu Bian hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Lord Wang, I have offended a lot at first, and I ask for forgiveness, please take care of me in the future, Zu Bian must remember to respect the orders of the military counselor." ”

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the murderous aura suddenly disappeared.

At this time, it was getting late, and after a day, Mudun Island had changed the world, and the banner of "walking for the sky" was taken down, and the future development direction was waiting for Wang Huan to clarify.

Li Tingyu brought all his subordinates to Mudun Island, preparing to rest on the island overnight, while Zubian was busy with the cooperation of Ma Quan, and the water thieves on the island, who were willing to stay, continued to stay on the island, re-registered, and approved the number of people, and in the future, these people will have a fixed salary, which will be distributed according to the standard of the Ming soldiers. Those who do not want to stay will also be given a little severance pay and will be left to fend for themselves. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can stay if you want to stay, Wang Huan and Ma Quan personally checked and lined up to check all the water thieves, the focus is to ask about their life experience, visually inspect their bodies, and those who have wives and children to raise in the family, those who have only children in the family, those who are thin and useless, those who are timid and cowardly, and those who eat together, are all dismissed, as long as the elite soldiers are strong.

Wang Huan planned very clearly, in the next year or two, the situation in Jiangnan is getting worse and worse year by year, the chaotic situation will not change much, the Qing army is crazy to gain a firm foothold, anti-Qing forces will spring up in various places, and various forces will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
