PS: It's more late today, and there's another chapter.

Speaking of Li Guo's desire to start a war, we have to talk about Li Guo's current territory, Guangxi.

The landform of Guangxi is generally a mountainous and hilly basin landform, which is basin-like.

The whole terrain is inclined from northwest to southeast, the west and north are the edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the northeast is the Nanling Mountains, and the southeast and south are the Yunkai Mountains, the 60,000 Mountains and the 100,000 Mountains.

That is to say, basically, Guangxi is surrounded by large mountain ranges, between the mountain basins, there are many water systems, endless, the mountains have become a natural barrier, and many water systems are even more inconvenient to move.

Li Guoneng's rapid development in Guangxi is due to the local topography. Li Guo repeatedly violated the system, and the imperial court did not want to requisition, but Guangxi was located in a remote border, and the more complex terrain made the Ming Dynasty mainly appease Li Guo.

The complex terrain has also trained Li Guo's tiger army to be able to quickly respond to all-terrain warfare.

Li Guo's First Army and Second Army, including the Chinese Army and the old battalions of the Rear Army, had a large number of pack horses, and the rubber carts pulled by the pack horses carried not only military ammunition, but also combined pontoon parts.

For the erection of pontoon bridges, the tiger army has considerable experience, and when they were conquest of Annan, they used a large number of parts to erect pontoon bridges. Li Guo's original intention of sending troops this time was to sweep away the wealthy south, which has many water systems, but now it is difficult for Li Guo.

Moreover, after Li Guo was ready to start a war, he transferred back Cao Zheng, the leader of the trough gang, and Cao Zheng came with two or three hundred ships, which went from the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake, along the Xiang River to Yongzhou, and then all the way to the border between Hunan and Guangxi. Although none of these ships were very large, Li Guo's purpose was not to fight inland waters.

Li Guo drove the 12th First Army of 20,000 men to Yongzhou. Cao Zheng's hundreds of ships were dispatched by Li XII. But the First Army was not for the offensive, but for deterrence! If the battle to capture Guangdong begins. It is very likely that the envoy of Hu Guangbu, who was in charge of Hunan and Hubei, would lead his troops south or reinforce Guangdong. or entering the back road of Guangxi to copy Li's pass, it is very inappropriate.

The Hunan soldiers were extremely strong in combat, and the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the great men in modern times, were all Hunanese, and Li Guo attached great importance to this.

After Li Twelve drove to Yongzhou, he directly occupied Dong'an County, and without using a little force, Dong'an surrendered.

A county seat, but also a county seat that has not gone through war. The armament is lax, the city is dilapidated, and even the government service is counted, and there are two or three hundred officers and soldiers with knives in Dong'an. Suddenly, when I saw Li Twelve's 20,000 people like wolves and tigers, let alone resist, I didn't even have the idea of resisting.

Dong'an County ordered Lu Zhicheng to know why, and the trembling Hou was outside the county office, respectfully waiting for Li Twelve to come. He had already received orders from Li XII. Waiting at the prefectural office!

The county commander Lu Zhicheng knew the origin of these soldiers, this is Li Guo's soldiers in Guangxi. What are Li Guobing doing here? Is it a rebellion? Because of the proximity to Guangxi, Lu Zhicheng touched the shadow, and thought that it might be really a rebellion. Lu Zhicheng wiped the sweat from his forehead unconsciously. But it's not like it, I heard that the rebels in the north are burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil. But the Tiger Army in Guangxi was strictly disciplined, except for more than 1,000 people who entered the city to maintain order. The rest of the men and horses remained outside the city.

After a while, Li Twelve came on a high-headed horse. Arrived at the county office. Lu Zhicheng immediately greeted him, and Li Twelve pointed at him, "Come, you come in, I'll tell you something." ”

Lu Zhicheng hurriedly followed up in the lobby of the county office.

Li Twelve sat on the Taishi chair in the county hall and said to Lu Zhicheng very kindly, "Lu County Order, I am Li Twelve from Guangxi, we are also neighbors, to you, I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

"Oh, General Twelve, you are really too modest, if you want to say that you have admired the name for a long time, it should be up to me." Lu Zhicheng stood at the foot of the hall and made a gesture.

Li Twelve smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, what I said is true, among the officials in this area, although you Lu Yongzhou are not diligent in government and love the people, at least you have not done anything evil!" ”

"Prestige! The Twelve Generals are too famous! Lu Zhicheng hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then asked, "General Twelve, you are not in Guangxi, why did you get to Dong'an?" Could it be that there is an order from the imperial court? Passing through here? ”

Li Twelve sighed, "Alas, to be honest, we can't afford to live." ”

"Twelve generals, how did you say that?" Lu Zhicheng didn't understand.

"You still don't understand that?" Li Twelve's eyes widened, "Okay, Lao Tzu will tell you that the harvest in Guangxi this year is not good, so I will borrow some grain from you." ”

"Huh?" Only then did Lu Zhicheng understand that Li Twelve had come to rob.

"But this kind of thing is contrary." Lu Zhicheng stammered and wanted to cry poor.

Li Twelve kicked and kicked over several cases in the county hall "Your mother, rambling!" Lao Tzu sues you, if you don't have food to eat, the soldiers will mutiny, and if you mutiny, you have to kill! Don't grind, sue you, Lao Tzu has already taken over the grain and silver treasury in the county government. Now you list the list of big households in the county to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will send people to follow you and collect grain from one by one! Hurry up! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will chop you! ”

Although this Lu Zhicheng is the county order of the Ming Dynasty, he is very spineless, and when he saw Li Twelve take out a knife, the soldiers of the Tiger Army were like cannibals, and his body was so frightened that his body was weak.

Li 121 gestured, and several tiger soldiers drove Lu Zhicheng to the wing room, and ordered him to write out the list of large households in the county, and then ordered the sedan chair man to carry the grain collected by Lu Zhicheng's family, of course, they were all those big households.

To Li Twelve's surprise, there was not much grain in the county government, and there were only more than 2,000 bags of rice. The grain is uniformly packaged, a bag is about 150 catties, and a bag is also a stone. Therefore, in the granary of the county government, there are only about 2,000 stones, that is, more than 2,000 bags.

And the grain taken from the big households in the county town is more than 10,000 stones, which is still the mercy of Li Twelve's subordinates, who did not rob the rich families of the grain, leaving them with enough food.

In this way, Li 12 grabbed a total of 12,000 stones, which was converted into catties, that is, 1.8 million catties of grain.

There is no shortage of food now, but there is always good food in abundance, so that Li Twelve's 20,000 people can support him for several more months.

Li Twelve unconsciously sighed, this place is still good, there is really a lot of food, just in a county town, he got these military rations.

Li Twelve's deputy, Quan Zhihuan, said, "That's, where is this?" This is Huguang! ”

Li Twelve nodded, "Yes, good place, next, we should get silver!" ”

Quan Zhihuan asked, "Twelve, where can I get the silver?" ”

"Go to Yongzhou!" Li XII replied.

"But Lord Tiger ordered, let's go to Hunan just to deter, try not to fight! Let's go to Yongzhou, and we still have to fight? Jun Zhihuan said.

Li Twelve smiled slightly and whispered to Quan Zhihuan.

Jeon Zhihuan also smiled after hearing this, "Okay, then let's just mess around!" (To be continued......)
