As the day shifted to the west, the sound of gunfire gradually calmed down.

With the last few remnants of the Little Knife Society in Baoshan County being wiped out, the entire Baoshan County was declared to be completely occupied by the Li family's army.

Li Weiguo rode a tall horse and entered the city from the north gate, surrounded by thousands of soldiers.

I saw that the city and the streets were full of soldiers of the Li family's army, and after a short battle, the joy of victory blew away their fears, and the cruelty of the battlefield was not enough.

When these soldiers saw Li Weiguo appear, they immediately heard a thunderous cheer.

Li Weiguo wants this effect, which is why he chose to take the knife first, and chose the knife to defend Baoshan County, which is the weakest, as the first battle of Li Jiajun's debut.

Baoshan County, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Wusongkou, is known as "the gateway to Shanghai in the south, the Suchang fence in the west, and the first dangerous point in the southeast".

Now, Baoshan County has fallen into the hands of Li Weiguo, which is equivalent to holding the northwest gate of Shanghai and the Huangpu River in his hands, and has an excellent fortress barrier.

"Young master, I've inquired, when the knife will attack the city, the Baoshan County Ling and the Wusongkou guards ran away, and I heard that they fled to Jiangbei."

In the hall of the county government in Baoshan County, Li Weiguo frowned immediately after hearing Zhang Xiaoliu's report. He hoped that the Baoshan County Order and the Wusongkou guards would let the Xiaodaohui be killed, so that Li Weiguo could take over the important land of Baoshan and Wusongkou with peace of mind, and there was no need to worry about someone grabbing his territory.

Of course, Li Weiguo also knew that even if the Baoshan County Commander and Wusongkou Guards were killed, the Qing court would send other officials and generals over, but that would definitely take time, enough for Li Weiguo to take the opportunity to take Baoshan County and Wusongkou into his own hands.

Now that Baoshan County Ling and General Wu Songkou are still alive, Li Weiguo will definitely encounter resistance and resistance if he wants to annex their territory.

However, Li Weiguo was not afraid, the Qing court was unable to suppress the Taiping rebellion, so it had to count on the Han landlords to arm, so the great era of the struggle for hegemony has come, as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not destroyed for a day, the Qing court will not be able to care about Li Weiguo's territory, but will choose to acquiesce in Li Weiguo's behavior and encourage Li Weiguo to fight with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. No matter how Li Weiguo tosses, the Qing court will choose to tolerate it, they will definitely think about waiting for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be destroyed and then come back to clean up Li Weiguo, but unfortunately their idea can never be realized, and when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is destroyed, Li Weiguo's strength will also be the same as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and other Han landlord armies, and become a powerful force that the Qing court does not dare to take lightly to plunder the tiger's beard.

"Let Wu Yong take over Baoshan County, and report to the imperial court in the name of military management for the time being!"

Li Weiguo thought about it for a while, and finally issued an order to annex Baoshan County, but there was really no one available in his hands, so he had to let Wu Yong do it for him.

"My lord, I found it!"

At this time, a commander of the Li family army ran in, he was ordered by Li Weiguo to find the place where the money and grain of the Little Knife Society were hidden, rummaged through the county seat of Baoshan, and finally found it in several large households, and these large families had already been slaughtered, and the members of the Little Knife Society who stayed behind broke out into a fierce battle with the Li family army again, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

It turned out that the knife would invade Baoshan County, and it was indispensable to "fight the local tyrants and divide the fields" action, most of the bannermen, landlords and merchants in the county were slaughtered and looted, and a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, money, grain, rice and noodles were looted, because Liu Lichuan led the main force to attack the county seat of Shanghai, so it was impossible to take these things away, and he did not know that Li Weiguo would suddenly attack Baoshan County, so these things were placed in Baoshan County. When Li Weiguo led the army to attack Baoshan County, Chen Alin had already ordered people to quietly hide these "dirty things" and leave an empty treasury for Li Weiguo.

As soon as he heard that he had found the "treasure" of the Little Knife Society, Li Weiguo suddenly came to his senses and immediately took his own team to go.

"My lord, the humble duty mobilized the entire 3,000 people, and after a preliminary inventory, it was found that the Knife Society had hidden a total of about 125,000 taels of gold, 10,840,000 taels of silver, 27 million coins, 500 boxes of jewelry, 220,000 stones of grain, 70,000 horses of cloth, and the number of other items was too large.

Sure enough, it is a mob, it can really be robbed, I am afraid that the rich families in Baoshan County have been looted by them, otherwise it is impossible to have such a huge wealth.

Compared with Li Weiguo's income from copying Xiao Yang's house in Chongming County, it is simply a small thing, and it is not the same.

Sure enough, it's more enjoyable to copy the city!

Li Weiguo's heart was shocked, and he realized the great benefits that war brought to the victors, and it was strange that so many people have longed for war throughout the ages, and only war can satisfy the selfish desires of these people.

Under the next Baoshan county, Li Weiguo really got Baoshan, such a huge wealth, he was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, I am afraid that he will have to wake up laughing when he sleeps at night.

"Very good, pass the order down, reward the three armies, each of them will be rewarded with two taels of silver, dinner and dinner, the meat tube is enough to eat, but the wine can only be drunk three bowls, the soldiers in charge of patrolling are not allowed to drink, but each person will be rewarded with an additional silver tael."

"Yes! Wise adults! As soon as the soldiers of the Li family army heard that they had a reward for silver and wine and meat to eat, they were immediately elated, and the morale of the whole army was even higher.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu asked: "Young master, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and wave the army directly to Shanghai County?" You know, now the Little Knife Club is probably already fighting with the defenders of Shanghai County! ”

Li Weiguo smiled: "Don't worry! Shanghai County is the location of Susong Taidao, Shanghai Dao, and Shanghai County Governor's Office, as well as the Peng Zi Green Battalion led by Shanghai General Peng Wenyuan, and most of the defeated troops in Jiading, Baoshan, Wusongkou, Chuansha and other places around Shanghai fled to Shanghai County, adding up to more than 10,000 troops. That Peng Wenyuan is Chen Huacheng's general who fought with the British army in Wusongkou back then, he is brave and strategic, he can't stop the knife in the end, he can't attack and defend the county seat of Shanghai, I believe it, but if he can't hold on for a day, then I will never believe it. ”

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and asked, "Then the young master means that we won't go to Shanghai County this time?" ”

"Go! Of course you have to go! Li Weiguo said with a smile: "Shanghai County is the place where I will be based in the future, and this time I will definitely take advantage of the situation to occupy it, how can I not go?" It's just that now that I'm going, even if I repel the Little Knife Society, Peng Wenyuan won't let me enter the city, let alone let me control Shanghai. Therefore, it is necessary to wait, and when the knife will break through the city, it will be the time when our army will attack, and it will be decided in a battle. ”

"Decided by the First Battle!"

Zhang Xiaoliu repeated these four words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, since following Li Weiguo, he has learned a lot of things, from a general who only knows how to serve the young master and doesn't know anything else, and gradually reborn into a loyal and brave general under Li Weiguo's account. Although Zhang Xiaoliu, a general, is still empty for the time being, as long as he continues to learn and improve, he will complete the transformation one day.
