"The villain Zhao Zichong visits the general, and the villain Myron visits the general" A Chinese in his forties and a foreigner in his forties came to the General's Mansion together.

The appearance of this Chinese does not need to be said, but look at this Myron wearing a black robe with a cross around his neck. At first glance, I knew that he was a foreign missionary.

At that time, Christian missionaries in China were not popular, many people excluded Christianity, and few people believed in Christianity. So these Christians are running into walls everywhere. Now that China is in turmoil, these foreign missionaries have nowhere to preach, so they can only go where they are safe...... Qingzhou, Shandong Province, is a safe place, so the streets of Qingzhou City are full of missionaries.

Li Long asked, "Father, what country are you from?" ”

Myron was really surprised, and he didn't think that there were ready-made gods in China. He made a cross and said, "I am an Englishman, a little pastor in England, and are you also a Christian?" ”

Li Long smiled: "No, I'm not. I don't believe in anything. Just learning about Christianity. What the Last Supper, the traitors of Judah, the holy city of Jerusalem,"

Myron said, "It seems that the adults and we really have a fate." I don't know what happened to the adults calling the villain to the General's Mansion."

Li Long said: "You are a missionary in England, how about I help you build a church?" ”

Myron was happy now, originally thought that the general would also expel him like Li Zicheng, and did not think that he would actually help Christians build churches. Myron hurriedly bowed: "God will bless you, my lord"

Li Long said with a smile: "I don't want any blessing, I will not only help you build a church in Qingzhou Mansion, but also help you build churches in Jinan Mansion, Yi Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Caozhou Mansion, Dongchang Mansion and other places in Shandong, and will also help you recruit pastors and help you preach, but this is conditional?" ”

Myron was overjoyed to hear that she was going to help him build so many churches. Hurriedly asked: "What conditions does the general have, see if I can do it?" ”

Li Long shook his head and said, "No, you can't do it, I need the commitment of your supreme cardinal in China."

Myron asked, "What the hell is going on?" I will convey the words of the cardinal who is now on the island of Ryukyu (Taiwan) with his own personality."

Li Long smiled and said, "I want your cardinals to provide me with advanced smoothbore guns in Western Europe, but in fact, this matter is not difficult for you cardinals, right?" You belong to the Church, and you have the support of the Holy See."

Myron was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of so many churches, he decided to write to Geqimo, and after a long time, he muttered: "Okay, General, I have remembered your promise, and I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible, I will immediately write to Cardinal Geqimo in the Ryukyus, and I will definitely give you an answer in a month."

Li Long looked at the Chinese businessman Zhao Zichong, and said after a while: "Mr. Zhao, where did you get these iron ores, and do you know how to open a mine?" ”

As a low-status businessman, Zhao Zichong didn't dare to face Li Long, an official master, and lowered his head and said: "The villain found these ores near Yanzhou, and these ores were all bare on the ground at that time. The villain's family was born in a mine, and since we built a market in Qingzhou, our family has come to Qingzhou City to sell this iron ore. ”

Li Long asked, "Who bought it?" ”

Zhao Zichong didn't dare to hide it, and replied in 1510: "Master Liu of Liujia Village, Zhao Yuanwai of Zhao Datun"

Li Longtou didn't lift it, and continued to ask: "What are they buying iron ore for?" ”

Zhao Zichong said, "This villain really doesn't know"

"Yang Dali" Li Long called Yang Dali, the guard platoon commander beside him, "You go and take people to Liujia Village and Zhaojia Datun and confiscate the iron ore they bought."

"Yes, General," Yang Dali replied and went out

Zhao Zichong was so frightened at this time that he was soaked, and he didn't know how the official was going to clean up him, a guy who resold military supplies, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and explained: "General, I know the origin of iron ore, and I am willing to mine these iron ores for the government, as long as the general doesn't kill me."

In fact, what Li Long was waiting for was Zhao Zichong's words, he needed iron ore to refine iron. Used to forge cannons and craft firebolts. Now that Zhao Zichong is willing to give him free of charge, it is a good thing. The appearance of Song Jiang in the Water Margin of Li Long's scholar. Stepping off the platform, he personally helped Zhao Zichong and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao don't need to panic, the government will not embarrass you, since you are willing to help the government refine iron ore, which general will promote you to be the director of the mine, and assign you 500 soldiers to open ore together."

Wang Ming came to Li Long's side early and asked, "General, what kind of people will be sent to open the mine?" ”

Li Long knew why Wang Ming asked like this, because if he used elite soldiers to open mines, it would inevitably cause Qingzhou's defense to decline, Li Long didn't think about it and said: "It's okay to be over thirty years old."

After Zhao Zichong and Wang Ming left, Li Long quieted down. Oh, yes. Although ore can be seen on the surface in these places, if you don't dig deeper, the yield is extremely limited, so it is necessary to win over mining experts like Zhao Zichong and build mines, so that a large amount of metal can be supplied to the city.

"Report, general, Yanzhou was attacked by the Liukou, the number is huge, about tens of thousands, the governor Zeng Hualong is leading the army to resist, the Liukou stormed Yanzhou City, I can't stand it, the governor is in a hurry to go to the rescue of the general" waiting for the sudden report. I was still thinking about how to develop the economy, but now it seems that there is no time, and the rescue war is about to begin.

Originally, the governor of Shandong should have been in Jinan Mansion, but since the Qing army entered the customs in the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639) and burned Jinan Mansion, the governor of Shandong temporarily set up in Yanzhou Mansion. And this time, the rogues who came to attack Yanzhou Mansion were not ordinary people, they were several leaders who were quite famous in the peasant army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they were the reincarnated king Xu Chang, the Xingshi king Wang Guoning, the mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong, the Four Heavenly King Li Yangchun and others, all of whom were members of the 72nd Battalion who participated in the Rongyang Conference.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army at the end of the Ming Dynasty basically formed two major groups, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. At this time, they were active in Henan and Huguang. The members of the thirteen families and seventy-two battalions who participated in the Rongyang Conference at the beginning, except for being recruited and exterminated by the imperial court, most of the others were annexed or joined by these two groups. At this time, Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, as well as He Yilong, Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Zuojin Wang He Jin, Lin Yangsheng, King of the Troubled Times, and Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, formed a joint camp of the five battalions of Zuoge, with more than 300,000 troops, and had the strength to compete for the world.

Of course, not all peasant armies were willing to join forces with Li and Zhang. Because once the weak peasant army joined forces, it was basically annexed by Li and Zhang. As a result, several weaker peasant armies, such as Xu Chang, Wang Guoning, Ma Jinzhong, and Li Yangchun, were unwilling to be annexed by Li and Zhang, so several people gathered in the Huaixi area and formed a battalion by themselves. At the same time, in order to avoid Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, several people discussed and decided to avoid Henan and Huguang and divert to Shandong. That's why they gathered people and horses to attack Yanzhou Mansion.

After these people joined forces, they also had 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and their strength was not weak, so they claimed to be 100,000 to the outside world, and they came to Yanzhou Mansion directly

Originally, Li Long didn't have to worry about Yanzhou's affairs. But Zeng Hualong, the father-in-law, has spoken, as long as he goes.

On the other hand, there are not only two officials in Yanzhou Mansion, Governor Wang Yingtai and Governor Chen Guan, but also a special person - Zhu Yipai, King of Lu.

He is the old Zhu family's own people, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he still took care of these King Fan, once the King of Fan died at the hands of the peasant army, the local officials must be severely punished, so if the city of Yanzhou is broken, King Lu has a mistake, it will be terrible. Three years ago, in the Qing Dynasty, he entered the customs and captured Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany, in Jinan. As a result, after the incident, the three governors of Shuntian, Baoding, and Shandong, as well as 32 high-ranking officials, including the general army of Jizhen and the general army of Shandong, were all sentenced to death. The remaining 120 officials were dismissed or demoted, and the punishment was so extensive that it is really rare.

Therefore, although Yanzhou Mansion is not Li Long's jurisdiction, these lessons from the past can not be guarded against, after all, he is the nearest local official to Yanzhou Mansion, in case the imperial court gives himself a charge of losing his guard and losing the feudal seal, although he will not die, but the prefect obviously can't do it anymore.

After receiving Zeng Hualong's letter, Li Long thought about it for a while, and finally decided to accept Zeng Hualong's order and lead his troops to rescue Yanzhou Mansion.

On the one hand, it is because he is now an official of the imperial court, although the Ming Dynasty government's control over the local area is not as strong as before, but Li Long is still in his infancy, and he does not have the strength to argue with the imperial court, so it is better to be honest and obedient. On the other hand, Shang Yi has a good impression of Zeng Hualong, and no matter what, he also promoted himself, so he should help him because of his reasonableness.

At the same time, now Li Long also has a certain understanding of these rogues, as long as it is not Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong's people, they are basically a rabble, although the number of this branch of the gangsters is larger, but the rescue of Yanzhou Mansion is a city wall to defend, so it is not difficult to deal with. Generally speaking, the rogues will not delay in a city for too long, and if they can't take it in about ten days, they will take the initiative to retreat. Even Li Zicheng, who was the strongest, withdrew after only five days of fighting for the first time when he attacked Kaifeng three times. Therefore, to rescue Yanzhou Mansion, it is enough to be hit by the first half of the twelve.

After the decision, Shang Yi immediately recruited Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang, Liu Shuyuan and the other nine thousand presidents to discuss. Zhang Cheng, Chen Jixiang, and Liu Shubao naturally knew that it was necessary to rescue Yanzhou Mansion, so they also supported Li Long's decision. Some of the others understand, and some don't, but they are all the only ones who look forward to Li Long, and since Li Long agrees to send troops, they are not opposed

But he couldn't bring all the troops to fight, so Li Long decided to bring the newly formed 2,000 firecracker soldiers, and garrisoned Zhang Cheng to lead, and brought 4,000 super long pikemen, led by Chen Jixiang Chen Garrison and Fan Qing, and Zhu Fulei. Five hundred old soldiers over the age of 30 followed Zhao Zichong to the junction of Yanzhou to mine iron ore. Li Long led Yang Dali to guard the platoon commander, Wang Guangfu Qianzong, and Zhang Songsongqian led 3,000 crossbowmen and 1,000 sword soldiers. A total of 10,000 troops.

Leave Liu Shupei to garrison and defend Qingzhou City with a thousand generals. Li Long threw 10,000 troops and set off for Yanzhou to kill.

Although there are only 10,000 troops, the purpose of declaring that "100,000 troops" is to scare those rogues first. 、
