The city wall was directly blown open by this sufficient amount of gunpowder, and the already small city wall and the collapsed ruins suddenly formed a slope.

Ma Gang and Zhao Nengjun in the musketeers have long been divided into two teams, the ammunition has been filled, and in the middle of the line, is the non-commissioned officers of the pro-soldier battalion, for the unity and efficiency of training, most of the soldiers focus on the spear, a kind of weapon, hand-to-hand combat short weapon training, generally only the pro-soldier system and the non-commissioned soldiers of the horse team learn.

Breaking into the city from such a small gap, spears and firearms were not suitable, but at this time, Wang Hai and his own troops were used.

The soldiers lined up with swords, axes and shields, and Wang Hai held a shoulder-high short axe gun in his hand, ahead of the team, and waited until the gap came out, and the brick and stone fragments fell to the ground.

The axe and gun in Wang Hai's hand were raised, and he strode towards the gap, and the firecrackers on both sides also hurriedly followed, but they always controlled their steps and did not rush to the front of the pro-soldier camp.

The loud bang just now made the Jiaozhou battalion soldiers standing outside the city buzz in their ears, and the officers and soldiers of the left who gathered behind the city gate to resist were even more uncomfortable.

Many of the officers and soldiers on the left behind the city wall didn't even have time to react, and they were directly shocked to death by the sudden shaking and loud noise.

The assault team of the Shandong soldiers and horses was trotting forward, but when they were about to run to the gap, no soldiers from the left army had yet appeared on the gap.

It wasn't until they got close to the slope that had been blown out that several soldiers staggered out with weapons in hand. But before he could raise his weapon, he was killed by the firearms on both sides.

In the ranks of the pro-soldiers, Wang Hai and more than a dozen generals did not have shields in their hands. However, they are wearing the goblin armor built by the Jiaozhou battalion, and their ability to protect is very strong.

Wang Hai rushed through the gap, and when he entered the city, he saw that in addition to the enemies who had been shocked to death, there were only a dozen people on the opposite side who were unsteady on the opposite side of the city.

The soldiers who came up were vain, their clothes were tattered, and some of them wore satin robes looted from some wealthy families. may feel that the material is good, and he is reluctant to take it off when he is wrapped in his body, but in such a scene of life and death, wearing such cumbersome clothes, how can he move flexibly.

Compared to the small axes on other people's axe guns, what Wang Hai held in his hand was more like an axe than a spear, and it had an axe face the size of a small shield.

That is to say, the Jiaozhou Battalion Weapons Manufacturing Bureau has its own unique tricks for building weapons, and the material selection of this axe is also made of good steel, so as to ensure that the weight of this double-edged axe gun will not affect the action.

Wang Hai and his own soldiers trained harder than usual, but they rarely had the opportunity to fight. This time when he got such an opportunity to go into battle, Wang Hai felt that his whole body was hot, and his blood seemed to be boiling.

The first person held a long knife in his hand and stabbed straight at Wang Hai's chest, Wang Hai did not dodge or dodge, and directly hit it with his chest armor. The cuirass was a whole steel plate, slightly curved, and when the long knife stabbed it, it used full strength, and when Wang Haiti met it, his body was slightly sideways, and the long knife was immediately cut from the armor to the side. And the cuirass was not damaged except for a white mark.

The soldiers of the left army didn't expect that the other party's armor would come over regardless of it, and just as he was about to use his strength, Wang Hai twisted his waist and staggered his body. The axe went up diagonally, and the axe was so wide and hard that half of the man's body was cut off.

The people who followed behind had not yet recovered from the horror of the loud noise and explosion, and they thought they were trying to rush up to resist, but the person who rushed to the front suddenly turned into two parts, and blood spurted out wildly, spilling all over his face. At this moment, there is no fighting spirit.

Turn your head and run backwards. These soldiers of the left army who went up to the gap to meet the battle, but they were all forced up by the overseers behind. turned around and ran like this, and was beheaded by the Overseer after running a few steps.

Wang Hai finally stepped into the city with a big axe, perhaps frightened by the majesty of his axe and two sections, although the sound of the officer leader shouting and urging was constantly heard in the streets around this gap, but no one came out for a long time, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion rushed in with weapons.

These hand-to-hand combat in the city was the type of combat with the highest casualties, except for the one who was killed by Wang Hai, the rest of the people actually scattered in a hurry, instead of coming forward to resist.

Such a reaction is really ridiculous, but after the pro-soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion came in, they did not rush and fight, but gathered into a team.

The officers of the Left Army, who had been driving their men forward, finally reacted from their dazed minds, and some of the non-commissioned officers who did not come forward were cut down by them, and finally the officers and men of the Left Army began to move forward, but they were a certain distance from the gap.

At this time, it was already a little late to move again, and the firecrackers had already passed through the gap or entered the city, or entered the city, and those at the head of the city were already stunned to death, and those who were ready to resist the counterattack were directly hit by the condescending firecrackers and couldn't raise their heads.

Within the range of the firearms, there were no soldiers of the left army, and with the distance of more than 100 steps, the soldiers outside the city began to rush in in a steady stream.

After that guerrilla Zhang suffered a big loss at Ximen, he knew that he couldn't rush out at all, and the best way he could deal with it now was to hold the county seat of Lanyang, and wait until Zuo Liangyu knew about it and led the army to the rescue.

But until the city wall was blown up, he didn't believe that the officers and soldiers outside would really attack the city, killing people is one thing, this siege is another thing.

By the time the city wall exploded, it was too late to react, and the thousands of Jiaozhou battalion soldiers who were in the front were already elite soldiers, and their counterattack could not be fought at all.

There are also rules for fighting in the interior of the city. Four musketeers and eight spearmen formed a team, but this time a pro-battalion joined in. Each squad is staffed with eight pro-soldiers armed with swords and shields. Begin to divide the troops.

However, there were still two battalions that were not divided, and their task was to clear the city of the resistance in groups, and the rest of the squad followed behind this brigade, and with each further push, the squad rushed into the streets and courtyards to clear out the scattered enemy.

The soldiers and horses of the two battalions marched in columns, and this kind of brigade was generally in the field in formation, which was not convenient in street fighting. This Lanyang county town is not a straight and wide road, and it is constantly necessary to adjust the formation and rhythm, but even so, the soldiers of the left army are still retreating step by step.

After more than 3,000 Shandong soldiers and horses rushed into the city, the best record of the left army was to rush to the front of the array and be stabbed to death with spears, and the rest could not support it after the fire was fired.

But what a big place this Lanyang County is, the other three city gates have been sealed, and now this situation can't be beaten, half an hour after the city wall was blown down. Zhang Guerrilla and several of his subordinates led hundreds of cronies and guards to guard the yamen.

Although there is still the sound of shouting and killing in Lanyang City, it is also gradually weakening, and the soldiers on the left who are divided will not have any resistance at all, and in such a street battle, it is much more convenient to kill all the way to the past than that kind of dignified battle.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion are more and more relaxed, and these soldiers have always been walking on thin ice and trembling carefully in dealing with the battle. We need to train constantly to survive on the battlefield.

But today, fighting with these fellow officers and soldiers is now so easy, even simpler than an exercise, that the other side can hardly get close to him.

Occasionally, a few lucky ones rushed to the front. With a slight move, between the blocks, there are either flaws, or the strength is far away, and it is difficult to escape death.

In the training and propaganda of the Jiaozhou battalion, there are some descriptions of the soldiers and horses in the world, such as who the officer with the troops is and how many soldiers and horses there are under his command. What are the examples of war?

This Zuo Liangyu land soldiers and horses are so famous. Everyone vaguely felt that this was almost the strongest army in the Central Plains, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops were beaten by Zuo Liangyu's army several times. Back then, Zuo Liangyu had some great achievements in capturing the city, and he was really a great strong army.

But today's siege of the city, whether it is a joint battle or a street fight, these soldiers are vulnerable straw bales, after the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion entered the city and in the battle, they naturally saw the tragic situation of those civilians being slaughtered in the city, thinking that these slaughtering civilians are so incompetent but called a strong army, then what should our Jiaozhou battalion evaluate.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion fought against the left soldiers, in fact, it was also a one-sided massacre, and many soldiers of the left army fought to the end, but they had completely lost the courage to fight, and would rather kneel on the ground and be killed than continue to fight. The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion will not be soft, because there was an order before the war - not to leave a mouth alive.

What makes the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion uncomfortable is that the civilians in Lanyang City have been completely indifferent, and in these days when they have been plagued by these beasts, these people in Lanyang seem to have resigned themselves to their fate.

However, the battles everywhere were slowly over, the squads converged on the streets, and the soldiers could see confidence in each other's faces, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion showed that they were actually so strong.

"A few generals outside, no, a few marshals, we are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, we have no grievances in the past, and we have no enemies in the near future..."

In the besieged yamen, there was a guerrilla crying pleading, there was no way to fight this battle, as soon as the battle was directly pressed by the other side, several counterattacks were organized, but they could not rely on the other party at all.

And these officers of the left army can also see that the soldiers who don't want to fight are kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, but the other party will not stop at all, and they are still killing people.

It is said that this does not leave a way back, forcing people to death, so it is easy to provoke a desperate counterattack, but the advantage of Shandong soldiers and horses is too great, whether you fight back desperately, or surrender on your knees, you are killed, anyway, you can't fight.

Zhang Guerrilla and several officers hid in the yamen of the county, and they were actually desperate in their hearts, but people are always unwilling to die, even if there is the last glimmer of hope, they have to try.

"Xiaodi has been running around all these years. I have accumulated a lot of family wealth, as long as the generals outside are willing to leave me a way out, all this money will go to ......."

"This money also has a share of Lao Tzu. Why buy your life for Lao Zhang. ”

He had only said half a sentence after offering his savings and pleading, but he was interrupted by his companions, and there was a burst of shouting and scolding in the courtyard, and the sound of weapons hitting the ground could be heard, and there was actually infighting at this time.

Wang Hai, who was outside the courtyard, had a face full of disgust, and now the soldiers and horses of the Jiaozhou battalion were already three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the Zhixian Yamen, the crowd dodged, and the two cannons were dragged over. The ammunition inside had obviously been loaded, Wang Hai looked around and said in a loud voice:

"Open the artillery bombardment door, after the door opens, the whole army breaks in, and that guerrilla attack is alive!"

After speaking, Wang Hai flashed to the side, and the gunner took the red-hot iron fork into the fire door.

There was a loud bang, and the gate of the Zhixian Yamen was immediately bombarded, and the Jiaozhou camp army shouted. They all poured into the opening.

The battle ended very quickly, and some of the people of the left army who were hiding in this county government did not even dare to fight, and committed suicide directly inside, and that guerrilla Zhang heard that he was alive, and he did not have the will to fight, but several officers heard that only this one person was left alive, and they wanted to kill him.

This guerrilla showed a bit of bravery in such a battle, when the Jiaozhou battalion rushed in. He actually saved his life.

Zhang Guerrilla was dragged outside like a dead dog, and as soon as he saw Wang Hai standing there watching the battle, he immediately kowtowed desperately regardless of it, and shouted "spare your life" in his mouth.

Wang Hai said lightly:

"Zhang guerrilla. I just left you alive, do you think I won't kill you? ”

In Lanyang County, the scourge of the soldiers of the Left Army in the past few days, as well as the battles of Fang Cai, many houses have collapsed and dilapidated, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion took materials on the spot, and used the beams as pillars at the entrance of the county yamen, and tied Zhang Guerrilla to this wooden pillar.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion carried the corpses everywhere. At the same time, the soldiers of the pro-military camp also ran back and forth. Shouting and shouting in the city, Zhang Guerrilla was tied to a wooden pillar. He was relieved that he had escaped his life, and when he heard the shouts and shouts of the city, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that he would wait for a whip or a club, just don't hit too hard.

Who would have thought that these Shandong soldiers and horses would just put him here, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, but carried away the corpses of the other left soldiers who died in the yamen.

Zuo Liangyudi's troops have a lot of torture methods and tricks, but he doesn't know what the other party is going to do by tying himself to the pillar.

Seeing that there was not even a shadow of a Jiaozhou battalion soldier around, Zhang Guerrilla was inexplicable, but he also thought that it was an opportunity to escape. Zhang Guji's body shook desperately, trying to make this column fall down, and he could take advantage of the situation to get rid of the binding, and after shaking a few times, the column was a little loose.

Zhang Guerrilla was overjoyed in his heart, this Shandong soldier didn't want to do things desperately, and left a way out for himself, this guerrilla gritted his teeth in his heart, and when he went to Zuo Dashuai's side, he had to sue fiercely, and he was just about to continue to work hard, but he heard some noise around.

He thought it was the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who were going and returning, so he hurriedly froze and looked up, but saw that some ragged civilians were slowly surrounding.

After a little pause, this guerrilla was suddenly horrified, these ragged civilians were men and women, old and young, clearly civilians in Lanyang City, a little closer look, these civilians were holding broken knives, kitchen knives in their hands within the short blade, each look indifferent, but their eyes were full of hatred.

Zhang Guerrilla on the left immediately understood at this time, he raised his head and scolded, this vicious curse was aimed at the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion, but the scolding was followed by a terrible scream.

On the 16th day of April, the prince Shaobao and the thief general Zuo Liangyu led the army, and rushed to the county seat of Lanyang in anger, and when he walked to the gate of the county ya, he saw a wooden pillar lying down, and there was a white bone on the side of the wooden pillar, and there were some flesh and blood residues on the bones, and several crows were pecking around.

The crows and dogs in this Lanyang County are already not afraid of the living, tearing the flesh and blood of the corpse, each fat and abnormal, Zuo Liangyu is on the horse, his face is very ugly.

The two generals walked up to the white bones, and there were soldiers searching carefully nearby, the two whispered a few words, and one of the generals walked back and whispered to Zuo Liangyu:

"Great. I saw a guerrilla waist card on the side, looking at this appearance, Zhang guerrilla should have been chopped alive......"

The corners of Zuo Liangyu's eyes twitched a few times. The hand held the horsewhip tightly, and at this time, the military academies who went to search all over the city also arrived here, and some soldiers came forward to ask, and ran over to report and said:

"Dashuai, this Lanyang City is already empty."

Hearing these words, Zuo Liangyu almost gritted his teeth and whispered:

"This Shandong Li Meng is so bold, is there any royal law and rule in his eyes......"

After whispering a few words, Zuo Liangyu roared loudly at his subordinates:

"Ben Shuai will definitely get justice for his subordinates!! The boats by the river are ready or not. The whole army went out as a whole team, went to the ferry, and went to Shandong!! ”

These officers and soldiers of the left who saw this guerrilla situation in front of the yamen were also very angry in their hearts, how many years had the soldiers and horses of the left army rampant in the Central Plains, when had they eaten such a sullen atmosphere, and they all wanted to get this matter back, the commander was angry, and everyone in his subordinates shouted with him, and the morale was high for a while.

Before coming to Lanyang County. Zuo Liangyu had already ordered his subordinates to collect boats at the ferry port of Taojiadian, preparing to pursue Li Meng's soldiers and horses, Henan governor Li Xianfeng and chief soldier Chen Yongfu tried hard to persuade them to no avail, Zuo Liangyu's official body and strength were far superior to them, how could they be persuaded to move. Moreover, when these high-ranking officials in Kaifeng City heard the news coming back from Lanyang City, they all secretly blamed Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, for being too reckless and not paying attention to the rules.

The army waited outside the city, and after Zuo Liangyu came out of Lanyang County, he gave an order. Hearing about the scene in the city, Zuo Liangyu's arrogant soldiers and fierce generals still endured it, and everyone was full of anger, eager to kill them in Shandong now. wantonly burned, killed and looted, except for this evil breath in the chest.

Lanyang County is about 30 miles away from Zhao Pi Zhai ferry, three miles out of the city on the official road leading to Zhao Pi Zhai ferry, after going out of the city, the left part of the soldiers and horses brigade is noisy non-stop, the sound can be heard far away, but the momentum is amazing.

However, as soon as they went to the official road, the rear team looked at the two sides of the official road, and it seemed that a lot of trees had been planted. The front team's voice was much quieter. After the army was all on the official road, the whole team was silent.

There was a smell of corpses on the official road. Both sides are full of cross wooden frames, the wooden frames are nailed to those left soldiers and horses who are evil in Lanyang City, and the more than 6,000 people under the guerrilla are all beasts, all of them are evil, naturally they did not let go of any of them, and they were all nailed to the top of this wooden frame.

Zuo Liangyu rode on a horse and looked at the corpses nailed to the wooden frames on both sides, there were many generals he knew, looking at it from a distance, the wooden frames on both sides seemed to be out of sight, the sky was clear and clear, and the sun was on the head, but this avenue was gloomy, like a ghost domain.

Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses were completely gone, the whole team was silently moving forward, but the pace was getting slower and slower, Zuo Liangyu, who was surrounded by his own soldiers, still looked calm at first, and walked not far, Zuo Liangyu began to look at both sides of the horse by a small margin, a little uneasy.

After walking almost three miles, the whole team was not so much moving forward as it was squirming, whether it was the front team or the rear team, everyone had a look of fear on their faces, who began to whisper, and the officers had to shout loudly, but later, the noise of the whole team became more and more uncontrollable.

The buzzing sound echoed throughout the team, but if you want to listen carefully to what is being said, you can't hear it clearly, such a scene, combined with the surrounding gloomy atmosphere, it seems even more wrong.

In fact, now the whole team is moving forward with Zuo Liangyu's horses, Zuo Liangyu's horses are also walking very slowly, walking out for almost three miles, Zuo Liangyu also stopped the mount, the flesh on his cheeks was visible a few times, coughed a few times, and said loudly:

"Then Li Chuang is still in Nanyang Mansion, our soldiers and horses should take this as the priority, and we must not be rash and delay the major affairs of the imperial court!"

These words were righteous and strict, and several cronies on the side of the ground were in line with the words "The marshal puts state affairs first, and he is really magnanimous", "This Li Chuang is the great enemy of our army, first destroy the thieves, and then talk about Shandong" "The marshal is wise and ......"

After hearing these words, Zuo Liangyu's face finally looked better, and he said loudly:

"The whole army listens to the order and returns to Kaifeng!!"

The subordinates all agreed with a bang. The whole army immediately turned, much faster than when Fang had just moved forward.

They didn't go far, if they followed this road all the way to the Zhaopizhai ferry. You can also see a huge wooden plaque, on which are written several large characters that have turned purple and black: "Soldiers are harmful, birds and beasts are not as good as quits".

In May of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Shaoyu and Zheng Chongjian were beheaded in Beijing because of the crime of losing their relatives, among which Wang Shaoyu was indeed responsible. But the Fu King fell.

And this Zheng Chongjian is completely wronged, since Zheng Chongjian commanded the troops and horses of the three sides of Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's troops have won more victories and fewer defeats, but after the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong in Agate Mountain, he disagreed with the supervisor Yang Sichang, this Zheng Chongjian is also an understanding person, knowing that if he and Yang Sichang do not deal with it, it will be extremely dangerous in the court, so he simply resigned and returned to his hometown.

Although he thought that the resignation was a resignation, Yang Sichang did not let him go. Shang said that Zheng Chongjian was resentful of Emperor Chongzhen's decision and had disrespectful words.

Emperor Chongzhen has always been obedient to the supervisor Yang Sichang, and he is a stubborn character, hearing the other party play like this, he immediately thundered and put this Zheng Chongjian in prison.

When Yang Sichang committed suicide because of the loss of his relatives, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, but he remembered that Zheng Chongjian had a grudge against the court that day, and although the battle of Agate Mountain was a big victory, Zhang Xianzhong was not cut to the roots. As a result, he entered Xiangyang at night afterwards, and King Xiang fell.

In the final analysis, Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to attribute this crime to Zheng Chongjian and kill him to vent his anger......

This time, the governor of Henan, the general soldier and other civil and military officials. and the joint performance of the governor of Shandong and the general army, saying that it was the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu was not the responsibility of Henan's civil and military forces, but the responsibility of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces led by Yang Sichang, the supervisor of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's troops in Huguang and Sichuan.

If the soldiers and horses of the five provinces were effectively contained, how could Li Zicheng cross Huguang from Sichuan to Henan, and to this day the scale that cannot be controlled, and the thieves entered Henan, but most of the soldiers and horses in Henan were in Huguang and Sichuan to suppress the thieves. The emptiness of the army was taken advantage of. It caused such a catastrophe.

And Henan governor Li Xianfeng and general soldier Chen Yongfu with 9,000 people, under the siege of tens of thousands of elite troops. It was a great credit to hold on until reinforcements arrived, and to defeat them.

Although the officialdom outside Shilin preached that Emperor Chongzhen was extremely sage, he knew right from wrong, and did not blame the meritorious ministers. However, some people close to the inner court in Jingshi were rumored that the letter from Henan was put on Emperor Chongzhen's desk that day, although Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood at the time.

But after reading this recital, he was furious and swept everything on the bookcase to the ground, but a eunuch who was accompanying him in the inner court said: "If it is only the civil and military officials of Henan Province who play, it can also be regarded as an exculpatory statement, but the governor of Shandong and the general army played together, they are just rescue guest troops, and Henan has no stakes, so it must be fair." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's anger weakened by three points, thinking that if this was the case, Henan's troops were empty, and he was either transferred to defend the Tartars in Beizhili, or he was chasing and suppressing the thieves and Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang and Sichuan.

Then the next day, in the court, the cabinet scholar and a certain Shangshu came out to talk, saying that the situation in Kaifeng City was so critical, but the governor and general soldiers of Henan were outnumbered, forced back the strong enemy, and beat the thieves to the land of southern Henan, which was equivalent to revitalizing the situation of the entire Central Plains.

In such a critical situation, it is really rewarding to get such good consequences, but the loss of Luoyang City to the king of Fu, as the minister of Henan, is also guilty in any case, so the merits and demerits are offset, so I issued an order to encourage a few words.

Emperor Chongzhen is stubborn on the one hand, and on the other hand, he obeys the words of Wenchen, which is a very strange contradiction, perhaps the Emperor of the Apocalypse has a counter-effect on Wei Zhongxian's credit, but the forces in this court, Xun Guiwu will be lost in the Tumubao Change, and those who can speak are Wenchen and eunuchs.

In this court, Emperor Chongzhen was reluctant to listen to the eunuchs, so he could only listen to the opinions of Wenchen, but these two groups of people received heavy gifts.

Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, was in the center, and served as the most important position of the cardinal, and the officials were all in the matter, and he was quite clear about these things in the court.

Emperor Chongzhen always thought that he was distinguishing between right and wrong. Your Majesty must be grateful.

In fact, this time the ground was played, and many people in the world felt that something was wrong, since Chongzhen ascended the throne. No matter how rigid and reckless this emperor is, he is a dictatorial monarch on the stage, and he is arbitrary.

Whether he listens to slander or is confused, the rewards and punishments of the ministers below are determined by his will, although the opponent has scruples about the military generals who hold the military power, but the face is extremely respectful, but this time. The local governors and generals jointly wrote a letter to defend themselves, but the court only reprimanded a few words lightly, but did not punish them, and the direction of the wind may have changed somewhat.

This matter may be very important, but after the eyes of the people of the world glanced at it, they quickly threw themselves outside the pass, and at the end of April, the Manchu army entered the siege of Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is the only stronghold of the Ming Dynasty outside the Shanhaiguan, without this lonely city, the defense line of the Ming Dynasty can only shrink to the Shanhaiguan line. If the Shanhai Pass is opened, the Manchu cavalry will be able to drive straight into the North China Plain and approach the Beijing Division.

Jinzhou outside the pass must be saved, before Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, has begun to mobilize the troops and horses of Jizhen to prepare for the rescue.

Zheng Chongjian and Xiong Wencan were killed, Sun Chuanting was killed in the edict, and the governors and ministers in various places were either convicted or killed, and Emperor Chongzhen was surprised that he had no one available. Now instead of Yang Sichang to supervise and suppress thieves, it is Ding Qirui who does not understand military affairs at all, and many people have predicted his defeat before Ding Qirui rushed to Huguang.

The helpless Emperor Chongzhen could only release Fu Zonglong, the secretary of the military department who was arrested and imprisoned at the beginning of the year, and sent him to Shaanxi to collect the border soldiers.

On May 18th. Li Meng led his soldiers and horses to Jining Prefecture, Li Meng disembarked in Jining, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had to return to their stations by water and 6 routes.

The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who returned from Henan were very different from before, although there were not too many fierce battles, but these hard-trained soldiers saw the blood and cruelty of the battlefield, and their hands were more or less stained with the blood of the enemy, which was extremely important to them.

This experience was extremely important to them, after all this cruelty and bloodshed. It was only after these militarily trained peasants that they became real warriors.

Moreover, this time the battle was to fight against the invading army that was rampant in the Central Plains. The opponent did not have the strength to fight back, and the second was to fight with Zuo Liangyu, who was known as the strong army of the Ming Dynasty. Those who cut melons and vegetables killed thousands of people.

Fighting these two armies was a great victory with absolute superiority, which gave great confidence to these recruits who had almost gone to the battlefield

Li Meng stayed in Jining Prefecture, of course, not to enjoy the prosperity of Shandong's rich land, but to wait for a person, this person is Henan Dakou, the leader of the thieves in eastern Henan "Li Zhenhai" who was as famous as "Lao Dangdang" and "Song Jiang" and others.

According to the official article, it was the Henan thief Li Zhenhai and his gang, who were loyal and unwilling to fight against Tianwei, and specially led the crowd to surrender to sincerity, based on geographical distance and proximity, and Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, accepted the reorganization as appropriate.

In fact, Li Zhenhai's group has long belonged to Chen Liu's subordinates, and after Chen Liu led his army into Huainan, it was under Li Meng's direct management.

This Li Zhenhai's real name is surnamed Jia, named Jia Dashan, he is a strong man in Tuocheng Township, and belongs to the kind of role that runs rampant in the township, but he has a bit of a local concept, and the Jia family is a big family in the local area, so it belongs to the existence of the overlord in the south of Guide Mansion.

Henan disaster, everywhere chaos, this Jia Dashan first gathered people to form a village, organized the people to protect themselves, but the county order of the city was confused, and actually reported to the Defu that Jia Dashan deliberately caused chaos.

The Jia family is pervasive in this expansion of the city, and the relationship is intertwined, and the reported documents have not yet left the scope of the expansion of the city, and Jia Dashan knows the content. Jia Dashan is a ruthless character, knowing that this county order is afraid that he is greedy for his family property, even if he escapes this time, he will be in trouble in the future.

As a result, on the same day, Jia Dashan led people to open Tuocheng County, killed the county order, and gathered people to make a rebellion.

His group is different from the displaced people in other areas of Henan, and it is a militia group organized by the squire and landlords.

Repeated government attacks have been defeated by this Li Zhenhai, not a matter of strength, but this Li Zhenhai is the head snake of the Guide Mansion, every time the officers and soldiers enter and suppress, half of the officers and soldiers are familiar people, where to fight.

Because Li Zhenhai is protecting the area of Guide Mansion, there is still a guarantee of barely stable here, but as a result, many people have come to defect, and slowly there are more than 10,000 people.

The threat to Li Zhenhai was not the officers and soldiers, but the other displaced forces in Henan, such as Song Jiang, Lao Dangdang, Lao Yuan Ying, and Yilong, all of whom were coerced by tens of thousands of displaced people, and they attacked one place, ate one place, and after eating up the reserves of this land, they went to find the next target.

Li Zhenhai's subordinates are those tenant farmers and commoners who barely make ends meet, and they still have to cultivate the fields to support their families on weekdays, but there is a fundamental contradiction between the two gangs. Li Zhenhai has an obvious disadvantage here.

Guide Mansion is close to Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, I don't know from what way, Lingshan Commercial Bank took the initiative to come to the door, saying that it was willing to make a deal with Li Zhenhai, Li Zhenhai has made too much noise over the years, and there is no money left at home, Lingshan Commercial Bank is very "considerate" to let Li Zhenhai exchange land.

And also promised Li Zhenhai that as long as he can come up with a legal title deed, the ownerless land can also be counted, for the Jia family, who is the head snake of the land, although it is already a rebellion, it is still easy to turn the ownerless land into the owner's land in Guide Mansion, as for the ownerless land, although Guide Mansion is barely peaceful, but this ownerless land is more or less.
