In the Ming Dynasty, although Zhengzhou did not have the status of today's Central Plains hinterland, it was also one of the six key points of water, and the Ming court was also stationed there with heavy troops.

Of course, no one expects these defenders to hold Zhengzhou for a long time, but only hopes that the defenders of Zhengzhou can hold on for a little longer, so that they can also buy some time and space for the officers and soldiers of the brigade behind and Kaifeng City.

However, when the Li and Luo coalition forces were still half a day's way away from the city of Zhengzhou, the commander who defended the city led the soldiers to wash the city, and then abandoned the city and fled.

After capturing Zhengzhou, the combined forces of Li and Luo turned westward, and the defenders of Zhongmu, who got the news, also fled without a fight.

The officers and soldiers of Zhuxian Town, who had been slack for a long time, finally had some tense atmosphere, except for the city gate facing the direction of the Yellow River, the rest of the city gates were closed, this time Henan governor Li Xianfeng and the general soldier Chen Yongfu finally gained experience, and began to mobilize the people in the city early.

All of the above, for the officers and soldiers of Nanzhili and the army of displaced people, is just proof that Li and Luo's millions of people will not come to Nanzhili, at least not for a year or two.

Before the movements of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were determined, Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo had already tried to attack Zhengyang several times.

The scale of the attack was large and small, but they were all smashed in front of Zhengyang Town, which was like a hedgehog, and Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli led the homeless people to be cannon fodder. The soldiers and horses of the battalions led by the old Huihui, Ge Liyan, and the King of Sweeping and Sweeping in the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo even used the old foundations of each family in the end.

Forget it for the first few times, and finally use the old foundation. After rushing for the first time, Sun Kewang immediately withdrew the charging soldiers and horses, since he couldn't beat it, he couldn't afford to lose his own capital.

However, the occupation of Zhengyang Town by the Huaiyang Army Chen Liubu has already eliminated the possibility of Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo continuing to advance......

This really made Zhang Xianzhong and the generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution vomit blood angrily, and it was not easy to manage such a situation, who would have thought that it would be in vain.

It was not the first time that Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo had come to Nanzhili, but every time they were blocked in a similar position. It is impossible to reach the richest part of the Ming Dynasty.

How do the displaced people think about him, Chen Liu, the general of the Huaiyang Army who occupied Zhengyang Town, has built fortifications like hedgehogs, as well as a steady stream of supplies and replenishment on the waterway, and there are more than 10,000 elite foot soldiers. In the position of Zhengyang Town, almost no one can shake it.

That's all. Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing in Shouzhou, appeared impressively, and some time ago he adjusted his defense and entered Nanzhili for the army of millions of displaced people in Henan.

But now, it suddenly appeared. There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Huaiyang Army in the west of Nanzhili stationed near Shouzhou, but there are more than 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers and horses transferred from Shandong on the side of Zhoujiaqiao in Hongze Lake.

In Henan, the movement of the million-strong army is unknown, and the rumors in the area of Nanzhili are spreading, and Lu Jiude is naturally willing to gather as many soldiers and horses as possible in Nanzhili.

Besides, Shandong's follow-up soldiers and horses entering Nanzhili, no one can find any fault, after all, Zhendong General Li Meng still has a title of military affairs to aid and suppress the two Huai.

At present, Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Prefecture are in Xuzhou. One side is in Zhengyang Town. The land of Lianghuai is completely empty, and it is also the right thing to replenish the soldiers and horses to enter. No one can say anything about the procedure.

At this time, Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, felt that the cold air was rising behind him, there were Huaiyang soldiers and horses in Xuzhou in the north, Qingzhou troops in the east, and Huaiyang troops in the west.

The location of each army and horse has its own reasons, and it is an upright official reason, this Chen Liuhe and the Qingzhou army stationed in the Zhoujiaqiao area of Hongze Lake, retrospectively, are still the transfer documents under his eunuchs.

Looking at it this way, isn't he surrounded, it is said that these soldiers and horses belonging to Zhendong General Li Meng, this stationing operation is completely in line with common sense, and no one can find fault with it, but Lu Jiude knows in his heart that what Zhendong General Li Meng did is not an ordinary military general at all.

In these troubled times, many things cannot be inferred by common sense, and it is chilling to infer from Li Meng's past behavior, the current deployment, and what he will do in the future.

Liu Fulai, the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, no longer paid attention to what would happen in Henan, rearranged it, and led the Nanjing Forbidden Army to defend Shouzhou City, while Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong's soldiers and horses camped outside Shouzhou City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses from Nanzhili to support wrapped Shouzhou layer by layer.

Even when Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution on the opposite side were at their most arrogant, Lu Jiude never put on this posture of rigidly guarding and being on guard.

On the other hand, the eunuchs guarding Nanjing were on the one hand playing the Jingshi Imperial Court, and on the other hand, they were asking Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, what was the intention of such an arrangement.

Seeing the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses led by Chen Liusuo in Zhengyang Town, Lu Jiude did not expect his troops to have any chance of winning, but Chen Liu's side in Zhengyang Town was alone after all, and the supply of grain and grass had to be transported by waterway.

At the beginning of June, it was true that the transportation by water was cut off once or twice, but Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, showed that the Huaiyang army on the side of Zhengyang Town could be fed by other routes. *****

The wealthy merchants of Lianghuai also had a large number of manors in Fengyang Mansion and Luzhou Mansion, and the military procurement office of the Jiaozhou battalion negotiated business with them in Yangzhou and directly sent messengers to the manor to transfer them.

This incident was so angry that Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, jumped to his feet and scolded at the official office in Shouzhou: This is really not the land of the Ming Dynasty, this is really the law of the foreign domain.

"The reason why you came to Jining is to look at the situation in the world, so as to determine which aspect you are responsible for."

In the Yanzhou military camp outside Jining Prefecture, Li Meng said to Ma Gang very leisurely. According to the news delivered by the messenger on a fast horse, the combined forces of Li and Luo had already crossed Zhengzhou and rushed straight to Zhongmu. The momentum has reached this point, and the big war is imminent.

After coming to Jining, Ma Gang has been following Li Meng to deal with military reports every day, but he has never done any errands, and his 20,000 soldiers and horses have entered Nanzhili along the edge of the coast, while he, the chief general of the army, is still leisurely in Jining, which is really weird.

At the beginning of June, the weather in Jining Prefecture was already slightly hot. After receiving the news from Henan, Li Meng, who had always been unhurried, immediately summoned Ma Gang.

"The combined forces of Li and Luo fought with the officers and soldiers in Zhuxian Town, one side was a million army, and the other side was claimed to be 400,000, and there was no suspense that the thieves would win. But there is also a certain price and time to pay. If Zhu Xianzhen wins. According to the ambition of the Li and Luo coalition forces, they will inevitably go north and intend to be in Beijing. ”

In Li Meng's tent, facing a map of the official land of the Ming Dynasty. Li Meng talked eloquently, only Sun Chuanting and Ma Gang, who were wearing iron masks, were present.

"The officers and soldiers of Shengzhuxian Town, although their morale is high, they must be tired, and my old battalion soldiers and Dengzhou soldiers are enough to meet the head-on attack. Ma Gang, as soon as the battle in Henan has a result, if Li Chuang and Cao Cao go east, you will immediately command the Qingzhou Army and the Huaiyang Army to defeat and annihilate the officers and soldiers gathered in Fengyang Mansion. If Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo are still lucky. Entrenched between Fengyang and Luzhou, it will be destroyed together. ”

Hear here. Ma Gang glanced up at Li Meng, nodded and his expression remained unchanged, today's events are also expected by these core generals, and the difference is nothing more than when it is clearly said.

Li Meng did not pause, and continued to speak:

"The matter of Nanzhili was decided, and half of the Yanzhou army entered the southern province to assist in law and order, and Yanzhou and Lianghuai Tianzhuang also participated in the assistance."

Sun Chuanting listened quietly to Li Meng's plan on the side, but Ma Gang's face gradually showed an excited look, with the Jiaozhou battalion training for many years of strong army, although the plan said by his own marshal is huge, it is not impossible to do, if this plan is completed, the prospect is really dazzling. \

"Ma Gang, you lead the troops and horses out of Henan from Shandong, intercept the back road of Li Chuang and Cao Cao, and when the time comes, you will attack from both sides and completely annihilate this thief!"

In this plan, there were two front and rear attacks, the early stage was the combined attack of the Qingzhou Army led by Ma Gang of Nanzhili and the Huaiyang Army of Chen Liu, and the 5,000 troops of Gaokedi were in Xuzhou at any time.

If you take the world, it will inevitably be to attack the Beijing division towards Beizhili, Li Mengling occupies the geographical advantage, and leads the old battalion soldiers and Dengzhou army, which must be rushed to him to intercept, since it can be blocked in the vortex, it can also be in Beizhili.

Nearly 40,000 Shandong soldiers and horses in Nanzhili against 60,000 officers and soldiers in Nanzhili, no matter who will think that this is a battle to win, and then Ma Gang led the troops out of Henan, which is equivalent to pouring Shandong soldiers and horses to attack the exile army with all their might, and the victory or defeat is also clear.

After this battle, the army of displaced people disappeared, the 400,000 army of Zhuxian Town, and the 60,000 army of Nanzhili Land all ceased to exist, and the world was dominated by soldiers and horses in Shandong, and the next ......

Ma Gang's excitement is already irrepressible, this war almost shakes the world, or more precisely, after this battle, it will also change the world.

The protagonist of this battle is naturally Li Meng, but he is the first supporting role, looking at Li Meng's appointment to him at this station, under Li Meng, the marshal of Shandong, he is Xi's general.

"The last general will live up to the trust of the marshal, please wait for the good news of Nanzhili......"

Sun Chuanting, who had been silent, said in a deep voice beside him:

"General Ma is unparalleled, the marshal entrusts you with the heavy responsibility, he is naturally relieved, before General Ma goes out, a certain reminder that the marshal came to Jining, just for the flow of this news judgment, General Ma's movement in Nanzhili must wait for the messenger of the marshal."

With the close relationship between Ma Gang and Li Meng, Wang Hai, Zhao Neng and other generals still have to pass him, and they all have some opinions about the sudden appearance of a mysterious "Mr. Gongsun", but Li Meng treats them like this, they naturally can't say anything else, and they deserve to be treated with respect.

Originally, I just listened to the boiling heart, and a good situation was in front of me, but this Mr. Gongsun with an iron mask came to say this, which was really disappointing. But seeing that Li Meng's expression remained unchanged, Ma Gang had to turn sideways and make a gesture of listening, and he couldn't lose his courtesy. Listen to the clear but slightly muffled voice under the iron mask.

"The key to this matter is not in Shandong, but in the thieves and the officers and soldiers of Zhuxian Town, if the thieves win. But do not move to the north, the Shandong soldiers and horses can not move, if the thief does not move me, the division is nameless, it will inevitably become the enemy of the world, with the power of my Shandong, self-protection is acceptable, and then try to make a big plan. But it takes a lot of effort, and it's not beautiful. ”

Ma Gang listened to these words, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed a wise saying, Li Meng nodded slightly. There is nothing wrong with this plan. However, someone needs to be restrained in it, so as not to overdo it, the reason why Sun Chuanting stayed in the Jiaozhou camp and held this auxiliary position.

The country is in decline. The building was about to topple, and people of his level felt that they had to do something, and they had a sense of mission to save the Chinese world, so they joined the unusual Jiaozhou camp.

In addition, everyone in the Jiaozhou camp is natural and generous, although they have their own tempers, but they are never rigid and self-serving, and they can't listen to other people's opinions.

As long as what you say is right. Naturally, there will be people who will listen. Rather than being opinionated, this kind of culture makes people feel that what they say is valuable.

Wait for Sun Chuanting to finish. Li Meng nodded, and said loudly:

"What Mr. Gongsun said is a wise saying, the South Zhili has been arranged, the old camp and the Dengzhou Army into the North Zhili is also simple, before the move, the commander is in Jining Prefecture, if there is no news from my own mouth, do not move, in this world, can afford not to wait, Shandong is one of them."

Li Meng said solemnly, and Ma Gang also knelt down solemnly, kowtowed and finished the big salute, and went out to Nanzhili.

For the actions of the Li and Luo coalition forces in Henan, there are still 400,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Zhuxian Town. Preparing for the decisive battle, Li Meng's response was nothing more than waiting for them to lose and take advantage of the chaos.

However, Yuan Shizhong of the small Yuan camp was recruited in the heart, but this news gave Li Meng a revelation, and it happened that at this time, Nan Zhili was also boiling against Yingtian, and Chen Liu had sent people to ask for instructions many times, saying that it was taking advantage of this chaos, and the Huaiyang Army might be able to do something to expand its territory while the chaos was in turmoil.

At this time, Li Mengxian himself can take this opportunity to play a big game of chess, after the battle of the whirlpool, the army of displaced people has always had a psychological shadow on the soldiers and horses of Shandong, as long as they make a certain move, they can be greatly contained.

The sudden collapse of Xiao Yuan's battalion, the sudden appearance of Shandong soldiers and horses on the border between Guide and Kaifeng Mansion, and all kinds of arrangements made Li and Luo's allied forces suspicious.

Every step of the movement of a million troops will have an impact on the movements of the surrounding officers and soldiers and the displaced army, and if it is combined with a little rumor, it will have a very good effect.

Sure enough, the entire Jiangnan area was a big earthquake, which was obviously not very relevant, but Lu Jiude still adjusted his strength to the camp army that might come from Henan, which brought time to the arrangement of Shandong soldiers and horses, and also brought a reasonable reason to enter the preset location.

Li Meng didn't expect that this good opportunity would come so easily, if it was completely according to his plan, the overall situation that he had been looking forward to for a long time would be determined immediately.

The entire arrangement and planning were all prepared by Li Meng alone, deploying soldiers and horses, secretly dispatching them in secret, and contacting them privately, which can be said to be concerned about everything.

This is almost a chess game that stirs up half the world, and it is really under Li Meng's assignment that he has reached his expectations step by step, which is indeed a great achievement.

If it succeeds, the army of displaced people, officers and soldiers will be weakened, and the soldiers and horses of Shandong will wait for work and pick peaches in the back, and everything will be fine next.

If it continues like this, the time when everything will be happy is getting closer and closer.

Except for a few people in the Jiaozhou battalion, at the beginning, the others did not know that Li Meng had such a huge plan, they were just dispatched as part of the plan, executing orders that they either understood or were confused, piece by piece of puzzle, and the chess pieces were constantly moving and putting together, until finally they were put together into a huge chess game in Li Meng's mind.

As Xi's staff and Li Meng's mastermind, Sun Chuanting had a comprehensive understanding from the beginning, and his opinion on Li Meng's plan was as follows:

"Things in the world move according to the general trend, not according to the plan. The qi of the imperial court is not exhausted, and the soldiers and horses in the north and south of Kaifeng Mansion and Fengyang Mansion are still gathered by the imperial court's own allocation orders. All parts of the south of the Yangtze River and the southwestern provinces are still relatively calm and still have strength. This matter of luck and gold, the world has been promoted, showing that the people's hearts are still back, except for Shandong, no one is on my side, no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails. To pacify the south and northwest, as well as to recover the hearts of the people in the world, it will take a lot of effort, great handsomeness, and great plans. Don't take risks. And the requirement of stability, the way to take the right is to be upright. “

Sun Chuanting raised objections to this plan and put forward different opinions, which was also one of his duties. However, this opinion was only put forward in private, and in official affairs, we still tried our best to assist in sorting out all aspects of affairs.

Indeed, this opportunity in front of him is really good, and no one can be moved, Li Meng's solo planning of such a huge arrangement has already revealed his overall situation and great talent, and this talent has been revealed. For those in the Jiaozhou camp system who are still unsettled. It seems to make more sense.

The center of Shandong is mobile, as long as Li Meng, the general soldier of Shandong, is there. This center will follow there, but it seems that it is more convenient to deal with things when stationed here in Jining Prefecture, the capital of Yanzhou.

In Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and Dongchang, as well as most of Jinan, they were all under the complete control of the Jiaozhou camp, and everything was in order.

The part of the area where Yanzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion meet has always been a constant matter of big and small things, and there is no one else who makes trouble, nothing more than Confucius Mansion and Lu Wangfu two places.

If the salt administration situation in Yanzhou Mansion were placed in other places, it would have to be considered extremely chaotic, because in one prefecture, the price of salt actually has more than a dozen prices.

But this confusion is just from the outsider's point of view, each of these prices are for a family, outsiders come to Yanzhou Mansion after the end of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, they will hear what "Wangjia Salt", "Zhangjia Salt", "Confucian Salt" and the like, I don't understand and think that this Qilu land has a long history, and even eating salt has so much attention.

However, in the accounts of the Jiaozhou Salt Administration Inspection Division, each name of the salt goods represents a family, and the big landlords in Yanzhou eat land at a high price of "private salt", the more they are not subject to the Jiaozhou camp, the higher the price of the salt land, in May, the salt price of some large households has been more than three times that of Denglai.

These dozen or so big families, several families have been inherited in the local area for more than a hundred years, and they are veritable local emperors, and they are full of words, and if the local magistrate wants to do a good job, it is not how honest he is, but to have a good relationship with this big family.

Tang Sai'er, Maitreya Sect, and the white-clothed divine soldiers, these big families are all immovable, but these routines don't work here.

It's okay for every big family to buy salt honestly, but those who are a little frizzy and prickly, or want to go to Nanzhili to sell some private salt, there is a squadron or brigade of armed salt Ding stationed around the house, and they are watching nearby, so that you can only buy the salt imported by this armed salt team.

It is often said that there is a great shortage of salt in a certain mountainous area, and even cattle and horses can be exchanged for a small amount of salt on the mountain, but this Yanzhou Mansion extends in all directions, and the salt eaten by these big families is not much cheaper than the salt used in the mountainous area, which is really bitter.

On weekdays, these people are in the locality, bullying men and women is the norm, if you don't do these evil deeds, but just run rampant, that is, the family style is rigorous, and the door is loyal.

But now every family is trembling, even the smallest evil thing does not dare to do, as long as a mistake is made, the local government does not care, the armed salt Ding will also come to help take care of it, people are caught in the government, small mistakes must also be severely sentenced, a layer of skin is light, who is the biggest in Shandong, naturally Li Meng, the chief soldier of Shandong, which is the greatest, which is more important, the government is very clear, if there is a little bit of human face and other restrictions.

Looking at the Yanzhou army stationed in Yanzhou Mansion, I believe that the brain will be much clearer.

The reason why they dare to make a gesture of disobedience to the subordinates is that Li Meng can only recruit such a big force as Li Meng, and if they are dealt with harshly, I am afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people in the future.

At least Li Meng has to make a gesture over there, but these big families have miscalculated themselves, Li Meng does need to make such a gesture towards Shandong and the people of the world, but he has already made this gesture in Dongchang Mansion, Qianjin Horse Bone, that is the first set of bones bought, and the back ones are not worth much.

These people surrendered one after another, but the two largest landlords in Shandong, the Confucian Mansion and the Lu Wangfu, did not move.

One of them is the Yan Shenggong of the imperial court, and the other is the extremely rich and noble vassal king, this is a community of interests connected with the flesh and blood of the imperial court, they have to rely on Li Meng's side, then the current glory and wealth will disappear, but if they go against Li Meng everywhere, it will be the end in front of them.

The salt bought by Confucius and Lu Wangfu is the most expensive salt in the whole of Shandong, and the wealth accumulated by land exploitation every year is pumped out by this high-priced salt goods.

"Dashuai, the two salt boats of the Confucian Mansion were intercepted in Ningyang County, there were a total of forty-three people on board, two children of the Confucian Mansion, the salt boat has been detained, this is the first time that the people of the Confucian Mansion have been caught trafficking in illicit salt, and the people over there dare not dispose of it without authorization, so they specially came to ask the marshal."

Yuan Wenhong, the chief secretary of the shogunate of the general Zhendong, spoke very decently, covering up a few words for the Yanding brigade on the Qufu side, and he also complained in his heart that the captain of the Yanding brigade over there was confused, since the marshal gave a death order, what else could he hesitate. The inheritance of the thousand-year-old Confucian Mansion, the dignity and sacredness of the saints, are still untouchable in the hearts of the common people, and it is understandable that the Yanding team, whose civil component is slightly larger than the military camp, will hesitate.

"What else can I ask for, the two surnamed Kong will be whipped fifty times, don't be beaten to death, and the rest will all have their heads cut off, salt buckles, and the living people and heads will be sent to the Confucian Mansion!"

The expected answer......

The air quality in our Internet café here is very poor, extremely hot, and the dance troupe on the side, chatting on the Internet, is boiling

Maybe Lao Bai is getting older, and looking at so many young people, he has a special sense of alienation

This feeling is really bad, haha, sighed a few words, I had a good night's sleep last night, and I hope I can resume writing more tomorrow

Approaching the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, thank you
