When Xiucai returned to Fort Weiwu, he felt that everyone looked at him strangely, many people pointed at Xiucai from afar, and whispered something from time to time, the news of the destruction of the camp had spread all over Fort Weiwu, and some of the soldiers' families looked at him with that kind of suppressed grief and hatred.

Xiucai lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with these eyes, and Qiu Ping beside him also felt the pressure and leaned towards him.

"Qiu Ping, I can wronged you in the future" Xiucai touched Qiu Ping's shoulder lovingly, and said: "But since the adults have opened their mouths, and Xiao Mochou is in Weiwu Castle, those people don't dare to embarrass you too much." ”

Qiu Ping's eyes were red, she shook her head, and didn't say anything......

Xiao Mochou took Xiucai and them to the house, that night, the Thousand Households Mansion of Weiwubao put up lanterns and presided over the wedding for Xiucai, not to the surprise of Xiucai, the chief officials of Weiwubao did not come, only Han Erjia and a few old people from Maojiatun came to congratulate him, and only three or four tables were placed in the entire hall, and the people who congratulated him were not even full of two tables.

Xiucai's heart was miserable, and he just lowered his head and drank the stuffy wine, until the wine feast was halfway through, and the appearance of the pregnant lady made Xiucai feel a little comforted in his heart, and then there was an iron bull in Lushun, and Dabao They sent a few congratulatory gifts, and the things sent by the adults were put away by Xiao Mochou, saying that they would be handed over to him tomorrow.

He knew that Xiucai, who knew that he didn't have much time, shook his spirit and fought with Qiu Ping several times that night, he knew that the adults were under pressure to let Mo Chou officiate the wedding for him, just hoping that he could leave a trace of incense to inherit, and the adults were benevolent and righteous, and Xiucai had no complaints, just hoping to let Qiu Ping conceive the blood of the Wang family. Regardless of men and women, adults will not treat the descendants of the Wang family badly in the future, and Qiu Ping will not be lonely and helpless......

Time doesn't stop for half a second because anyone prays. On the fifth watch, Xiucai was about to say goodbye to Qiu Ping, and the sound of "tu" and "tu" suddenly sounded on the pane!

"Qiu Ping, Xianggong is leaving!" The well-dressed Xiucai respectfully gathered his hands in the hands of Chao Qiuping.

Qiu Ping burst into tears, hugged Xiucai tightly and burst into tears: "Xianggong, let's go and beg Mrs. okay?" Slave house, I can't bear to let you go. Whining! ”

Xiucai stroked Qiu Ping's back deeply, holding the stunner who had finally become his wife, and the knocking sound outside the window was still stubbornly ringing.

"Lady. It's time for Wang Zao to hit the road" Xiucai was ruthless, pushed Qiu Ping down on the bed, and finally glanced at the heartbroken Qiu Ping with nostalgia, and resolutely turned around and walked out......

Xiucai followed Xiao Mochou's personal guards to the hall of the Thousand Households Mansion. Yesterday's wedding banquet has not yet been cleaned up. Several big red candles were still slumped on the candlestick with tears in their eyes, and the hall was full of people, but to Xiucai's surprise, he didn't see the executioner of the Military Discipline Division.

"Xiucai"

Xiao Mochou saw Xiucai's snow-white Confucian clothes, frowned, and said a little unhappily: "How can you go on the road dressed like this?" Come on, send a set of ...... to Lord Wang"

Before Xiao Mochou finished speaking, Xiucai suddenly waved his hand and said, "No need, Mochou." Wang Zao is a scholar, and it is his duty to dress like this. What about the people in the Department of Military Discipline? Lead the way. ”

The people in the hall were whispering, Xiao Mochou sighed, and said slowly: "Military Discipline Division? Xiucai, don't you understand the painstaking efforts of adults? Adults have a hard mouth and a soft heart, and they are extremely protective, adults often say, if you don't even love the people around you, what do you talk about the world? When the eight sons came to Anton Wei together, we and the lord are called master and servant, and we are really brothers, is the lord the kind of person who uses your head to calm the anger of everyone? ”

Xiucai was like being struck by lightning, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Mo, Brother Mochou, don't lie to me......"

Xiao Mochou sighed and said: "Xiucai, the adult has always valued you, saying that although you are as cunning as a fox and full of bad water, but the essence is simple and kind, but unfortunately since following the adult, you have begun to become short-sighted, only caring about the pounds, to this point today, the adult said that he is responsible, but you are also to blame, the adult ordered me to tell you, he can not protect you for a lifetime, I just hope that you can understand these truths after this incident, some responsibilities, some responsibilities, you must carry it, do you understand?" ”

Xiucai couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly knelt down towards the north, kowtowed again and again, and cried loudly.

"Today, the adults will hold a meeting of cadres above the platoon level of the Thunder Brigade"

Xiao Mochou looked at Xiucai, who was crying bitterly, and said, "...... He will take all the responsibility down, which is a heavy blow to his prestige, Xiucai, you may not know, the Tartar slaves will not talk about it, the court is also pressing him step by step, and he wants to get rid of him and feel at ease, if it is not for the fact that the adults maintain a fragile balance with the prestige of winning a hundred battles, how can there be Lushun today? But he would rather have his prestige damaged than kill you in vain, and you must understand the painstaking efforts of your lords, and keep them in mind! ”

Xiucai cried so much that he fell to the ground and hissed: "Young master, the young master treats me like a mountain, but Wang Zao is ungrateful, he is a villain who is not as good as a pig and a dog, I am a person who is a master with a low eye, but I have been complaining that the young master is too thin for me, and now in retrospect, Wang Zao is not ashamed, young master, woo woo......"

Xiao Mochou's eyes were also red, he turned his back and secretly wiped it, and only after calming down did he step forward to help Xiucai up, and said to everyone in the hall: "Have you all thought about it?" If you've thought about it, you'll come over and meet the adults, right? ”

Xiucai forgot to wipe his nose and stared blankly at these people who stepped forward to salute him one by one.

"Di Hualong in the third phase of the private school has seen Mr., and in the future, he will follow the teacher to kill the bandits and make a contribution!"

"Lu Baifa has seen Mr. in the second phase of the private school, I am willing to follow Mr. by his side, and I will never frown at the sea of swords."

"Long Debiao is willing to follow the adults to kill the bandits, and the villains don't want to go with monthly salary"

"The villain is the platoon commander of the second company of the original spear barracks, they say that following the adults can make a future, the villain has a big family to raise, the villain does not want a future, the villain is willing to follow Lord Wang Zao to get rich and come back"

"The villain Wu Jinjiao, that is, the Moren clan, my whole family died at the hands of the Wenxiang Sect bandits, the hatred between the villain and the bandits is not shared, as long as the adults kill the bandits, the villain is worth dying"

"The villain is happy at the beginning, willing to follow the adult......"

"Villain Zuo Liangqi. I would like to follow the ...... of my lords."

Xiucai was dumbfounded, and set his eyes on Xiao Mochou, at this moment. A personal guard hurriedly came to tell him that there were more than a dozen soldiers from the military camp who claimed to be guilty outside the house and asked to see him.

Sure enough, Tan Xinghua and others came together, and when they saw Xiucai, these people all knelt down to salute Wang Zao, although the establishment of the sin military camp has been revoked, but Tan Xinghua and others still insisted on using the sin barracks to see the etiquette of the old chief. Xiucai was excited, his hands were weak, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Mochou looks pretty much the same. Then he coughed and said, "Have you all figured it out?" If you defect from Fort Mighty today, you will no longer be part of my Thunder Brigade, and according to military law, your lord will order someone to be sent to arrest you. Royal algae. Although you used to be an adult's confidant, but you fled without permission and violated military discipline, even adults will not tolerate it, understand? ”

Everyone hesitated, and at that moment Zuo Liangqi came out of the crowd and said, "Lord Xiao, what about my family?" Will it sin on the family? ”

Xiao Mochou nodded and said, "Military law is strict. Naturally, your family members will not be punished, but your family members are concentrated in Fort Mighty. No matter how long the hand of the Military Discipline Department is, it is still up to me Xiao Mochou to have the final say. ”

Hearing Xiao Mochou's words, everyone's hearts were settled, and Le Chu asked, "Lord Xiao, then we can't go back to the Thunder Brigade in the future?" ”

Le Chu asked what everyone was most worried about, if Xiao Mochou nodded, of course many of them would not give up the foundation here and follow Wang Zao, Bo those ethereal wealth.

Xiao Mochou took out a letter and read: "There are more than 60 former Lushun military households such as Wang Zao, Tan Xinghua, Di Hualong, Lu Baifa, etc., who fled without permission and violated military discipline, and all departments of our Thunder Brigade should assist the Military Discipline Department to arrest the deserters, and the rest of the subordinates will be reorganized, and if there are disobedient people, they can be exterminated on the spot......"

"Adaptation?!" When everyone heard these two words, they suddenly realized in their hearts, the meaning of the adults could not be more obvious, protecting their families so that they have no worries, it is too late for the Thunder Brigade to garrison Liaonan, Daming is so big, when will it happen to "meet" them? Besides, the adults only mention arrest and arrest throughout the article, and only those who disobey will be exterminated on the spot, even if they do, there is a lot of room for reversal......

At this moment, Yun Niang took Qiu Ping's hand and walked in, everyone hurriedly saluted, Xiucai looked at his wife behind the veil affectionately, and Qiu Ping's eyes were also looking at him.

"Everyone, please get up" Yun Niang's words had a majesty: "It's not early, let's go and get ready to go." ”

Everyone claimed yes, turned around and left, Wang Zao just wanted to get up, Yun Niang said: "Wang Zao is slow, I still have something to tell you." ”

"Qiu Ping often says, you Wang Zao is not a good son worthy of entrusting for life, so the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, this time the prince is in charge, the girl Qiu Ping is promised to you, a good man is determined in all directions, I hope you will restrain your frivolity in the future, and live up to the hard work of the princess."

Wang Zao's doubts disappeared in his heart, and he said loudly: "Wang Zao knows, thank you young master, young grandmother for your grace!" ”

Yun Niang nodded and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Mochou, who handed over a package.

"Wang Zao, this is the big wedding gift given to you by the Xianggong, the Xianggong said, he has done everything he can, in the future, whether you Wang Zao can come back in a dignified manner, whether you can convince others to give you a thumbs up and praise you for being a good man, whether you can give Qiu Ping a justifiable wedding, it depends on yourself!"

Wang Zao couldn't help but feel excited, kowtowed a few respectfully, and took the package cautiously......

Ten days later, Wang Zao, a deserter from the Thunder Brigade, and others appeared near Yizhou, and wantonly recruited military households and craftsmen near Luozhuang, and when the commander of the Yizhou Wei Duan heard the news, he came to Luozhuang, leaving only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who could not walk, and even the Duan Zongqi of Luozhuang dropped the wooden sign of the general flag and ran away.

Twenty days later, in the Mengyin area at the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Wang Zao and others set fire and merged a group of horse thieves who occupied this place, no one knew what happened at that time, but the original gang called "a swarm of bees" bandits completely disappeared, replaced by a new strongman gang called "bandit army", these people went everywhere to rob the house, rob the rich and help the poor, everywhere they went to the young and strong, opened a warehouse to release grain, forced the local rich to hand over the title deed and burned it in public, they shouted: "Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the door to meet the bandit army, The bandit army is coming and will not pay for food! slogan,

Even after breaking Fei County and hanging the local county order, they also distributed leaflets everywhere, which read: "Seeking promotion in the morning, seeking cooperation in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive recently, open the door early to welcome the bandit army, and everyone is happy to call it big and small"

What else is "those who dare to hurt people and plunder people's property and women will not be killed!" "Juntian is free of grain. No levy for three years" and so on.

These inflammatory slogans caused an earthquake in Shandong officialdom, and the local government organized several rounds of encirclement and suppression, but the bandits were quite cunning. They took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to frequently attack the Ming army, footprints all over Zaozhuang, Yinan, Feixian, Yuncheng area, in the face of the joint encirclement and suppression of many local governments, they fought more and more strong, this bandit combat effectiveness is amazing, not only cavalry, even infantry are equipped with a number of firearms. And the actions of these bandits can simply be described as appalling, whether they are rich or officials. Bandits, even military households, as long as they are enemies, often end up in extermination. The local government also tried to appease it. However, the waves of people sent out, all that came back was a tongue in a box, and no one knew what they wanted.

However, because of the behavior of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and the fact that these bandits never harassed the people, nor had they heard of all kinds of evil deeds such as raping women, the bandit army had an excellent reputation among the common people. Soon, the name of the bandit army resounded in Shandong Mansion in just a few months. The number of bandits has exceeded 30,000, and the leader of the bandit army, known as the white-clothed talent Wang Lun, is even more well-known.

At the end of May, Shandong governor Zhu Dadian rushed to Yanzhou Mansion, and passed the generals to Yanzhou, Shandong General Liu Zeqing had 3,000 battalions but was afraid of the war, and was severely reprimanded by Zhu Dadian, and the rest of the people did not dare to slack off, and they stubbornly pointed up the soldiers and horses to Yanzhou, and even Anton Wei commanded Wang Yuanshan to come to help with a thousand soldiers from Weiwu Fort, but they did not expect everyone to walk for more than ten days, and when they came to the lair of the bandit army in Guizi Mountain, they were shocked to find that the bandit army seemed to have an internal bar, and the corpses in the lair were all over the place, and everyone was shocked and rejoiced. cut off the heads of these bandits and lied about the victory, but unfortunately the leader of the bandit army and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were nowhere to be found.

On June 10, the bandit army that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Jining Mansion, this news scared the empty King Lu of Yanzhou half to death, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhu Dadian, but he did not expect the bandit army to swagger through the city of Yanzhou, and there was no intention of attacking the city at all.

On June 20, the bandit army appeared in Shuibo Liangshan, and when Zhu Dadian led the army to arrive, only a big banner was left on Liangshan for Tianxingdao......

At the end of July, Zhu Dadian, who was in pursuit, was ambushed in Puzhou, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, 5,000 soldiers and horses were defeated, Zhu Dadian fled back to Yanzhou in a hurry under the protection of several family members, and the bandit army swaggered into Henan after resting in Fan County for three days......

Of course, these are all news that came back from the Intelligence Department a few months later, and now Yang Bo is speeding up the pace of military restructuring, and he has no intention of caring about anything else, and even several senior auditors in Dengzhou frequently recruit each other, and he has no time to deal with it.

However, on 3 April, Liu Dahu of Jinzhou suddenly sent someone to report that it was a letter sent by the Tatars to shoot a letter under the city, which read "Yang Bo, the guerrilla general of Lushun of the Ming Kingdom."

Yang Bo opened it with a trembling hand, and it really wrote: "Emperor Wenren of the Great Khan, Haoyu Lushun guerrilla Yang Boren, etc., I have this southern expedition, not for the desire to kill and greed, you and other southerners often regard themselves as Zhengshuo, regard me as a barbarian thief, Da Miao also, Liaodong is a place for God to give me a place to cultivate and recuperate for the warriors of Jianzhou, I have nothing else to ask for, only hope that the two countries will be reconciled, and the people will live in peace, but before there is Emperor Wanli to oppress and kill me, and then Emperor Chongzhen persecuted me even more, and insisted on raising troops to plunder, fortunately there is a providence to cause him to lose his division and lose his land, and he has been defeated again and again. It's not me boasting about martial arts, but I have to fight back. I have never had any enmity with you, but you and others did not take the will of heaven as a warning, and raised troops to harm me, I still wanted the way of the whole country, and refused to move lightly, and Ran Er and others intensified, Jinzhou, Tieshan, and Phi Dao, repeatedly inflicted harm, and I was angry, so I ambushed the military camp and besieged Jinzhou......"

“…… At this time, Fei'er and other soldiers are strong and brave, and can retreat from our division, but I finally pity my friends, and return with reconciliation, and now there are more than 100 soldiers in the military camp who are guilty of being captured, and there are self-proclaimed company elders, calves and other officers have been captured, if you take my words as true, that is, make up your mind, understand how to give the book, and then reply and send it quickly, if you do not listen to the good advice, I will kill the captive, and your Excellency's desire to kill? Where to go, wait for the response. ”

It took a lot of effort for Yang Bo to figure out the upside-down letter, and he asked the sentry, "Does the Tartar have anything else to say?" ”

The sentry said: "The Tartars are shouting under the city, if the adults agree to negotiate peace, they will send people back as soon as possible!" ”

Yang Bo was overjoyed when he learned that Lao Pao, Calf and others were still alive, but when he heard the sentry rider say this, he was hesitant in his heart.

Make peace with the Tartars?

Make peace with the Tartars??!! (To be continued......)
