When Ziren heard Li Dana say this, he suddenly remembered that Mao Wenlong's uncle 'Mao Dechun' was stationed here, and he didn't have time to correct Li Dana's call of his uncle, so he asked: "Brother Dana, my distant uncle Mao Dechun is stationed in Anshan Station, I don't know if you have any news of him." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hey, uncle, I just received the summons and rushed to look for the two of you, and I don't know anything about the situation in Anshan." Li Dana scratched his head and replied.

"Ziren's military situation is urgent, let's go and talk about it." Li Rumei has been martial since she was a child, and when she heard that there was a battle, she immediately rushed to find Hao Jie with Ziren.

Who knew that just a few steps away, Li Rumei suddenly turned around and looked at Li Runan and said with a wicked smile: "Little stick mallet, Ziren and I have military affairs, this girl from the 'Spring Manlou' seems to be unblessed, you and our uncle have a lot of fun, why is it more enjoyable than peeking at the maid taking a bath." "Anyway, I didn't give my cousin a chance to talk back, so I ran away.

Along the way, Li Dana introduced the situation of Anshan Station to Li Rumei and Ziren. 'Anshan Station' is also known as Anshan Post Fort, which was originally subordinate to Dingliao Zhongwei for a hundred households. The northeast is about 60 miles away from the town of Liaoyang, and the southeast is about 60 miles away from the Acropolis of Haizhou, which is the gateway of Liaoyang City to the south of Liaoning and the west of Liaoning, and the key point of the ancient road in southern Liaoning. Daming Hongwu 20 years to set up a fort, Wanli six years to rebuild, rebuilt into a brick city, the post in the carriage and horses are numerous, the merchants are extremely prosperous, it is the place where the soldiers must fight.

His father, Li Chengliang, valued this place as a traffic hub, and upgraded it to a thousand households after the reconstruction, and Mao Dechun is now stationed there. When Anshan Post Fort was built, the east and west Anshan were used as barriers, and the terrain was dangerous. The outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with loess, which can prevent shelling. Wells were dug in the city to prevent water from being cut off. There is a moat around to prevent sneak attacks, and the circumference of this fort is only one mile and two hundred and four steps, which can be described as impregnable. The Mongol Tatars failed to attack several times, and the bandits couldn't overcome it, so Ziren didn't have to worry.

Ziren nodded with a pretended smile after hearing this. This Mao Dechun had partnered with Li Chengcai to harm himself before, and Ziren didn't bother to worry about him. It's just that the East Anshan, Dagu Mountain, Qi Dashan and other places around this Anshan Station are rich in iron ore resources, and Ziren has long coveted them. Thinking that if Mao Dechun is stationed here, he can rely on his doorway to come here to mine and make money.

Li Rumei is fighting, Ziren is wealth, and the two of them have wind under their feet along the way, and they came to the patrol yamen in a short time. found that Lord Hao only summoned the generals of the pacesetter camp tonight, and Hao Jie saw that everyone was there, and he didn't do much to get straight to the point.

It turned out that in order to reorganize his armament in the past few days, Hao Jie was collecting the arrears of mining taxes from coal mines and iron mines around Liaoyang. This Anshan area is rich in iron ore resources in Liaodong, and there are many private mines opened by lawbreakers on the mountain, and Hao Jie will naturally not let it go.

In order to compete for high-quality ore sources, the owners of these private mines hired many outlaws to protect their mines, including soldiers who escaped from various guards and battalions. Now that they heard that Hao Jie had come to collect taxes, these mine owners actually united to resist by force, injuring the tax collector sent by Hao Jie.

If you encounter ordinary officials and local tyrants who partner to resist taxes, most of them will choose to settle matters in order to prevent provoking civil unrest. How could it be that Lord Hao is the lord who is resolute, and he is ready to send troops to suppress him in anger.

Seeing that the opponent was just a group of bandits, Li Rumei and Ziren glanced at each other, and both stood up and said to themselves: "The last general, Li Rumei (Ding Shouming), is willing to lead the pacesetter battalion to ask for battle, and I hope that the adults will agree." ”

"The two generals are young and heroic, and this battle will definitely be won." Hao Jie saw Li Rumei and Ziren asking to fight together, and praised with joy on his face. After encouraging the two, he asked the two to go back to the camp to prepare.

After Ziren and Li Rumei summed it up, they felt that it was impossible to deal with a group of bandits, so the two sides decided on the number of troops to send on their own, and anyway, they claimed to send 3,000 troops to suppress them.

After Ziren returned to the fort, he immediately summoned his generals to announce the news of the battle. As soon as the words fell, Cui Desheng said anxiously: "My lord, I must bring my old Cui with me in this battle!" ”

"Brother Cui, didn't you say it at the time, you are responsible for staying in the fort on weekdays, why did you suddenly come to ask for battle." Ziren asked with a puzzled expression. "That's right, Lao Cui, you don't have many soldiers and horses, so it's better to leave the matter of marching and fighting to us young people." Ding Bi and Zhou Daqi also helped on the side.

"The general is not secret, I have a younger brother who works as the head of a private mine in Anshan. This kid has a quick temper, and I'm afraid he'll be provoked to go against the government. I also hope that the adults will take me with me, and see if I can persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and save his little life. Seeing that Ding Bi and others misunderstood that they wanted to steal the credit, Cui Desheng hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, Ziren thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, Brother Cui, you go back and prepare for your life, and tomorrow you will be responsible for leading the people to transport grain and grass." "General Xie." Seeing Ziren's answer, Cui Desheng hurriedly thanked him.

Then Ziren began to select the personnel who participated in the battle. Thinking that there were no fierce people among the miners, and that most of the mines were stocked with gunpowder, Ziren was inevitably killed and injured by his subordinates, so he decided to use firearms to defeat the enemy this time. Lei Zhenwei's firearms division was all in battle, all the chariots and birds were carried, and due to the lack of gunners, the artillery only brought two medium-sized Furlong planes to suppress the opponent.

In terms of infantry, the men and horses led by Zhou Daqi had the longest training time, and many of them were Ziren's old troops, so they fought this time. Ding Bi and Wang Shouguan stayed in the fort to prevent the Mongols from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.

Because most of the iron mines were set up in the mountains, the speed advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play, so Ziren only selected the light cavalry of Ma Shinan's banner to go to the battle. With the accompanying people, the number of people who participated in the battle was around 400.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and in order to fight the first battle after the formation of the pacesetter battalion, Ziren prepared enough military rations and horse materials for five days. Thinking that this battle might have to go into the mountains to clear the crackdown, in order to prevent there was nowhere to bury the pot and cook at that time, the women in the fort were mobilized overnight to make 2,000 pancakes, which were used as dry food for the soldiers to carry with them and eat directly when the battle came.

The next day, Ziren gathered his soldiers and horses early and set off for the battle. Because there are dozens of miles between Changning Fort and Liaoyang City, it is inevitable to take more unjust roads, and yesterday night when he saw Ziren and Li Rumei, he agreed that the two of them would set off separately and meet at Qianshanyi north of Anshan.

The road is densely covered with mountains and forests, and Ziren specially sent Ma Shi Nan to patrol along the road in order to prevent accidents. Although the journey was hard, there were Ziren who took the lead in abandoning their horses and walking, and chatted with everyone from time to time to boost morale.

Li Rumei had been waiting here for a long time, looking at her face seemed to be a little sullen, Ziren just wanted to step forward to explain, when she heard a malicious voice coming: "Why did you come later than this girl, could it be that you secretly went to the 'Chunmanlou' last night, and you can't bear to be that gentle township!" ”
