When the Zhaoxian Pavilion was underway, Li Weiguo once again personally led a large army to march to Jiading, preparing to destroy the Ming Kingdom established by the Xiaodao Society in one go, and completely remove the threat of the Xiaodao Society to the flank of Shanghai.

Jiading County is under the jurisdiction of Taicang Zhili Prefecture, Li Weiguo, as a member of Su Songtai's soldiers, is reasonable to send troops, and when he sent troops to Shanghai before, he was opposed by Peng Wenyuan, the Shanghai guard, this time the officials of Taicang Zhili Prefecture unanimously asked Li Weiguo to send troops quickly, and even willing to provide the required money and food for Li Jiajun.

This is not surprising, after all, Zhenyang County (east of Taicang City) has been besieged by the Little Knife Society for nearly a month, at the beginning Chen Tao instigated Liu Lichuan to say that Zhenyang County only needs to line up a partial division to capture, when the main force first attacked Shanghai, as a result, the small knife will be transferred to Shanghai after the capture of Jiading County, only a partial division of more than 5,000 people to attack Zhenyang County, and finally the Little Knife Society did not take Zhenyang County, the main force was also heavily damaged around Shanghai.

Now Liu Lichuan has less than 20,000 people left, cowering in Jiading County, focusing on defending the Li Jiajun in Shanghai County and Baoshan County, but still dispatched more than 10,000 people to attack Zhenyang County, which makes the people of Zhenyang County panic, and officials such as the Taicang Zhili Prefecture are very clear that once the city is broken, the Qing court will punish the officials of Taicang Prefecture for the crime of defending the territory, and the officials of Taicang Zhili Prefecture have encouraged the landlords and businessmen to hemorrhage, and asked Li Weiguo to send troops to relieve the danger of Zhenyang County.

Li Weiguo is naturally willing to do this kind of good thing, but Li Weiguo has always held grudges, when he was in Chongming County, when Lu Jianying came to find trouble with Li Weiguo, he took this Taicang Zhili Prefecture Capital Duoliang, and this Duoliang did not "add blockage" to Li Weiguo, although Duoliang is just Lu Jianying's dogleg, but Li Weiguo will take revenge.

Therefore, after Li Weiguo received a written request from Lord Duo Liang, he deliberately rubbed it for a few days, forcing Duo Liang to have a big bloodletting, promising to give Li Jiajun 100,000 taels for promotion, 100,000 taels for food, 500,000 taels for ammunition, 100,000 taels for baggage, 300,000 taels for settling-in, and all other expenses were paid twice the cost of the Qing Army's Eight Banners when they went to war, and the preliminary calculation was 1.2 million taels of silver, and at the same time, Li Weiguo was also assured. As long as the danger of Zhenyang County is solved, there is another filial piety.

Li Weiguo slaughtered Duoliang fiercely, and after giving him a lot of bloodletting, the previous unpleasantness disappeared, and immediately decided to send troops to Zhenyang County first, and then reorganize the Qing army and regimental training in Zhenyang County, first hold Zhenyang County in his hands, and finally encircle Jiading County, and annihilate the Little Knife Society in one fell swoop.

It's just that when Li Weiguo personally led the army to the outside of Zhenyang County, Xiaodaohui, who was attacking the county seat, quickly chose to retreat and did not fight with the Li family's army, completely looking scared.

The knife will retreat, and Duo Liang, the supreme governor of Taicang Zhili Prefecture, finally breathed a sigh of relief, the black gauze hat on his head is saved, and when the time comes, he will send some gifts to Su Shun, and if he walks around the capital, it is no problem to be promoted.

It's just that this joy was quickly washed away by the Li family army outside the city, and when he learned that Li Weiguo was there, Duoliang's face was as ugly as his father died. On the one hand, he was worried that Li Weiguo would take revenge on what happened in Chongming County last time, and on the other hand, he had to give Li Weiguo 1.2 million taels of silver, and anyone who gave the silver to others would not be too happy.

Duo Liang personally led the civil and military officials of Taicang Prefecture to greet Li Weiguo outside the city, and even encouraged celebrities and ordinary people from all walks of life in the city to welcome him.

However, Li Weiguo should humiliate Duo Liang and humiliate him, and he should let Duo Liang let out his blood and take out the silver, and he can't lose a penny.

"At this point, the little thief didn't dare to let go of a fart when he saw me coming, but look at you again, Lord Duo, you actually let the family surround it for more than a month, and almost let the family break the city!"

"Yes, yes, it's all the incompetence of the lower officials, thanks to Lord Li, who doesn't remember the villain, and personally led the troops to rescue, which solved the crisis in Zhenyang County, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Taicang Prefecture on behalf of the lower officials thanked Lord Li for his great kindness."

As a banner man, Duo Liang has always looked down on Li Weiguo, but now he has to bow down in front of Li Weiguo, where has he suffered such humiliation, he is very annoyed in his heart.

However, the official level crushed people to death. Although this Duoliang is the state capital of Taicang Prefecture, this Taicang Prefecture is only a medium-sized state capital, so the rank of Duoliang's state capital is only from the fourth grade, and Li Weiguo is the Songjiang prefect and Su Songtaibing Taoist of the fourth grade, which is half a level older than Duoliang.

The most important thing is that Li Weiguo has soldiers in his hands!

In peacetime, the imperial court counted on civilian officials to govern the world, so the military generals were suppressed and did not dare to offend civilian officials. But in the autumn of troubled times, on the contrary, the military generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it, and if you see which civil official is not pleasing to the eye, you will come to cut it first and then play, and the court will have to turn a blind eye, so the civil official is like a bullshit, this Duoliang knows this well, even if he is a flag man, he has to pretend to be a grandson in front of Li Weiguo of the Han people.

Li Weiguo really wanted to find trouble with Duo Liang, but now that he saw Duo Liang pretending to be his grandson in front of him, he had no excuse to start for a while.

So he said: "This army has been fighting for a lot of silver, I wonder if Lord Duo can prepare the military supplies of our army?" ”

Hearing this, Duo Liang suddenly stumbled, almost fell to the ground, his face full of frustration, and he knew that what should have come has come.

"This is natural, you can't let the adults and soldiers run in vain, a qiē is ready, Lord Li, please!"

Li Weiguo nodded, accompanied by Duo Liang and others, entered the city, and went directly to the yamen of the state capital.

Duo Liang had already sealed the box with 1.2 million taels of silver and handed it over to Li Weiguo in person, most of which were made by the rich landlords in Taicang Prefecture, and Duo Liang himself only took out 100,000 taels of silver, not with the 1.2 million taels of silver, but "honored" Li Weiguo in his personal name alone.

In this regard, Li Weiguo accepted all the orders, but he didn't appreciate it, if he had the opportunity, he would have to fix him!

Li Jiajun took over the defense of Zhenyang County, and incorporated the Taicang Prefecture soldiers and regimental training from all over the country who rushed to reinforce Zhenyang County. Among them, the green battalion soldiers in Taicang Prefecture were directly eliminated, and Li Weiguo, the Eight Banners, also wanted to be cut off on the spot, but when he thought that this matter might make Xianfeng run wild, so in the end, Li Weiguo ordered several banner people to take the Eight Banners to Jinling, which is called reinforcement Jinling, and everyone knows that this is clearly to let these Eight Banners soldiers go to be cannon fodder to die, but Li Weiguo is Su Songtai's soldier and is their boss, plus Li Weiguo does have the will of Emperor Xianfeng in his hands to reinforce Jinling, so these Eight Banners soldiers know that Li Weiguo is deliberate, But there is no way to take him, so he can only obediently comply.

As for the regiments formed in other places for training, there were more than 20,000 people in total, and Li Weiguo singled out more than 7,000 people in hardcover to be incorporated into the reserve of the Li Army, and the other 13,000 people still used cold weapons to cooperate with the actions of the Li Army. Li Weiguo thought about it, when fighting at a long distance, the Li family army gave full play to the advantages of muskets and artillery, and when fighting hand-to-hand at close range, let these troops with cold weapons go up, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties among the elite of the Li family's army, and also optimized the configuration, which was appropriate.

After Li Weiguo arranged a qiē, he called Duorong and said, "Taicang Zhili Prefecture will implement military control!" All materials must be controlled, and military priority is given! ”

The corners of Duorong's mouth twitched suddenly, and he hesitated: "This, I'm afraid something is wrong, right?" ”

Hearing Duo Liang's objection, Li Weiguo sneered: "I'm not discussing, you want you to do it!" After all, you are still the governor of Taicang Zhili Prefecture, and someone will listen to what you say. However, if you don't want to, that's fine, I'll find someone else to do it! ”

Duo Rong is the same person, and immediately heard the meaning of Li Weiguo's words, knowing that if he does not agree, I am afraid that Li Weiguo will now give him a charge of not cooperating with the suppression of bandits, and it is still a trivial matter to dismiss him.

"No, no, no! Humble duty is not that meaning, since the adult can trust the humble position, the humble duty was originally the work of the adult to serve the dog and horse! ”

"So much the best!" Li Weiguo snorted coldly, thinking that you still know each other, first manage Taicang Zhili Prefecture for Lao Tzu, and then get you down when Lao Tzu has more manpower, so let you sit in the state capital for a few more days.

Li Weiguo lacks great talents around him, and he is actively recruiting, so he has to use Duoliang to maintain the situation in Taicang Prefecture first, and then replace Duoliang when there are people, after all, if Li Weiguo wants to include Taicang Prefecture in his own territory, he must be in charge of his own people, and others Li Weiguo can't trust it, and he won't use it.

In this way, Li Weiguo relied on his strong military strength to force Duoliang to cooperate with Li Jiajun to take over the counties of Taicang Prefecture, and acted cheaply during the war, so that the imperial court could not do anything about Li Weiguo.

As a result, Li Weiguo took control of Taicang Prefecture in this way, to be precise, annexed it.

However, there is still a Jiading County in Taicang Prefecture that is still in the hands of the Little Knife Society, and Li Weiguo immediately led a large army to conquer it.
