Li Xin personally presided over the recording of the first three wronged people, and handed over the rest to several secretaries to handle it together. At the same time, he solemnly invited Zhang Fangyan, the governor of Zhejiang, to come out, and told the people that the imperial court attached great importance to the attack on Shandong by the imperial court, and now he had sent important ministers to deal with it in person.

Zhang Fangyan, who was close to old age, was frightened a lot along the way, but in front of the people, he swept away his private worries, looked like he was in his chest, and after showing his face and saying a few words, he hurriedly pulled Li Xin's sleeve and got off the high platform. When he went to the secluded place in the back, he looked at Zhang Fangyan's appearance of the old pavilion with a calm demeanor in front of him, and his face was full of anxiety.

"Why is the Marquis of Zhenyu so calm, has he forgotten the thousands of soldiers outside Zhu Zaozhuang? They have already fought hard with the fifth battalion of the rogue Ge Zuo all night, and if they are delayed, they are afraid that they will ......"

Li Xin could see that Zhang Fangyan was really worried about the lives of the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Three Guards, and he was also moved in his heart. More often than not, these ants and mustard-like warriors of the Ming Dynasty are just pawns who can be abandoned and sacrificed at will.

"The elder of the pavilion is wrong... The more than 1,000 soldiers were all brought out from Shanxi by Li Xin himself, who else in this world can care more about their life and death except for me Li Xin? However, if the shape of Dongchang Mansion is not as stable as possible, if I leave now, the elder of the pavilion may support the soldiers in the city alone? ”

In one sentence, Zhang Fangyan was speechless, the old man was good at this, and he never claimed to be familiar with military affairs because he had read basic military books. It is said that it is difficult to know people, and it is even more difficult to know oneself, Zhang Fangyan is especially valuable in this point, as he gets along with him for a long time, Li Xin likes this old man's temperament more and more.

It's a pity that this kind of person is difficult to make achievements in the court, why? Just because if the Ming court wants to do something, it must come out on top in the treacherous conspiracy and political disputes, otherwise everything is empty talk. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he became a leader early in the early years of Chongzhen, it is precisely because of self-knowledge that he is left and right, left and right, and self-protection is still struggling, not to mention plotting big things?

But listening to Zhang Fangyan's urgency, he was still urging: "When can the Marquis of Zhenyu leave?" The old man's right eyelid is always dancing today..."

Li Xin comforted: "Elder Ge doesn't need to worry too much, the main forces of the Three Guards have all been sent out, Gu Shishi and Kong Youde are both battle-hardened generals, and they are the same as Li Xin..."

Obviously, Zhang Fangyan doesn't think so, and they all say that they will be brave soldiers, if any few cats and dogs can hold up the scene, why are there only ten famous generals in China for thousands of years. In fact, even if Zhang Fangyan didn't urge, Li Xin already planned to leave now, and rushed to Zhuzaozhuang to supervise the formation with the last hundred or so personal soldiers around him, but he still had to explain Zhang Fangyan's matter about the city defense.

"Elder Ge, if Li Xin is gone, there will be no generals in the city who have experience in battle formations. Therefore, the team must be able to convene the local people in Dongchang to participate, and it must be led by the elder himself. If you encounter something undecided, you can ask Li Xin's entourage Mi Yan and Li Da..."

Zhang Fangyan nodded very seriously, although he disagreed with many of Li Xin's actions, but in military affairs, he dared to assert that there were probably only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"The old man has written them down one by one, and the old man of the security team is personally leading it, and if there is any indecision in the war, consult Mi Yan and Li Da... I also ask the Marquis of the town to set off on the road immediately..."

Li Xin was no longer verbose, and led his soldiers to go straight to the north gate of Dongchangfu City, but suddenly encountered someone blocking the street on the street.

"How are you? If you don't recuperate honestly, why don't you come out to hang out? Quickly dodge the road, miss the military plane, you can't afford to bear the guilt..."

Unexpectedly, Li Shuangcai swept away his previous honest attitude, and asked calmly: "The Marquis of Zhenyu is here to attack He Yilong's thief soldiers?" ”

Hearing Li Shuangcai ask like this, Li Xin was not surprised, Gu Shishi had a conversation with him before, saying that this person was quite scheming, and his heart of refuge before entering the city was not sincere, but he was willing to take the risk of burning the city wall, and openly fought with the thief leader Cao Zhaoji, which was quite abnormal. Later, the woman who was rescued outside the city was confirmed by the painting, which explained why this person was so desperate, and it became reasonable, but Gu Shishi was still stubborn.

But the reason why the hero can dominate the world throughout the ages is that he uses people and believes in people. Many people may not be born with good talents, and there are many people who may not be born with loyalty, but the key depends on the people who control them. Many people who are quite capable have a lack of virtue, but as long as they are used properly, they can still turn decay into magic. Just like when the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, they reused the two ministers of the Ming Dynasty greatly, but they never believed it. Therefore, two ministers like Hong Chengchou, although they made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ended up in a dismal end.

This Li Shuangcai Gu 14 asserted that there was a backbone in the back of his head, but Li Xin thought that this person was quite bold, and if he used it properly, he might not be able to get twice the result with half the effort. But at the moment, the shape is obscure, and he does not plan to rush to the battlefield with this person.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuangcai suddenly revealed a shocking secret, which made Li Xin have to look at him with admiration, so much so that he had to take this person out of the city with him...

"The marquis of Zhenzhen, when the villain was a scout for the thieves, he accidentally discovered that He Yilong had a large amount of grain and grass hidden in the Yan Temple in the northeast of Tangyi, and the villain was willing to lead the way for the marquis of Zhenyi..."

This news made Li Xin overjoyed, and at the same time explained a question in his heart. Because after capturing Dongchang Mansion, the granary in the city was counted but found that there was not much grain in stock, but the treasury soldiers at that time had been killed, and no one could say anything about the original stock of the granary treasury.

It seems that He Yilong is still very cunning, and under the guise of Dongchang Mansion, he has actually arranged his own two lanes in an inconspicuous place a long time ago.

Li Xindang even asked someone to bring an ownerless war horse, "Without further ado, lead the way..."

Just when Li Xin and his entourage roared out of the city, Zhang Fangyan also re-ascended the high platform, and announced in public the decision to set up the Dongchang Mansion Security Team, which received a positive response from the people for a while, and the two families enthusiastically signed up to join the army, which Zhang Fangyan did not expect. At the same time, I have to admit that Li Xin really has a way of mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people, but he just held a public trial meeting, and he won the hearts of the people in the city.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fangyan even assumed with regret, if there is such a person as Li Xin who knows the people and knows the people, how can the world be so erosive? It's just that assumptions are assumptions after all, and when he opens his eyes, he has to face the cruel reality, facing the Ming Dynasty that has been riddled with holes, specifically like the lost and recovered Dongchang Mansion.

"The hometown is local, the territory is safe, the internal security is stable, the outside is against thieves, the people are well aware of the righteousness, and the old man is very relieved..."

Zhang Fangyan followed Li Xin's explanation, followed the routine of being close to the people, and was always kind and pleasant from beginning to end, and after a long time, the people's courage also increased. Someone on the side shouted directly to him: "Pavilion Elder Mo Wen crepe, we don't understand, we just say that this is to protect the territory and the people, and the people are all our own families, how can we Shandong children stand by and watch, of course, we have the responsibility." ”

The old and weak women and children in the city were all driven out of the city by He Yilong, and the young and strong people who stayed, of course, regarded the thieves as the thieves, and looked forward to the day when they could find their lost parents, wives and children...

"That's it, that's it, the elder just said, how do we play, we will beat the thief's ass and urine..."

……

A coaxing reply interrupted Zhang Fangyan's tirade. But Zhang Fangyan was not only lifeless, but his dry old eyes were a little moist, and he muttered in a low voice: "The people's hearts are available, where are the people's hearts available... How can this Ming Zhongxing be hopeless? ”

After counting, there were originally 10,000 and 8,000 residents in the city of Dongchangfu, but after two wars, the registered population was reduced by more than half. Later, some nearby villagers either fled into the city, or were coerced into the city by the rebels, but they became the targets of screening. Just because these people's identities are relatively embarrassing, they entered the city as chaotic people, and no one can say whether they have harmed the people in the city, but after all, they are ignorant chaotic people, and they cannot be generalized with thieves. In order not to plan the confrontation, Zhang Fangyan resorted to a trick and proposed to recruit the border protection team only according to the list of people in the city of Dongchang Mansion kept by the government.

Even so, after the first round of screening, as many as 5,000 people signed up to join the Baojing Anmin team, which made Zhang Fangyan smack.

5,000 people are already a battalion of people, and the villagers are brave and strong enough to protect the territory and the people, why do they need so many people, and with the food in the treasury, it is not enough to maintain such a large team...

Who knew that when Zhang Fangyan used this difficulty as an excuse to take only 2,000 of them, the vast majority of the losers stood up.

"We are just to protect our hometown fathers and elders and find our lost relatives, even if the government does not provide food, we will bring our own food, and please ask the elder to be gracious and let us join the border protection team..."

The people were enthusiastic, and for a while Zhang Fangyan couldn't bear to refuse, and finally had to compromise a little, these self-prepared food, elected by each fang into a group, specifically responsible for the security of the book, and then promoted by the government. And Xiang Yong, who is responsible for spending grain and grass in the government, is only responsible for the defense of the four gates of the city to defend against thieves...
