Calling him by his name in person like this seemed to people at the time to be scolding in person, but He Tengjiao was only a little surprised, and nodded happily.

"Xia Guan is a person from Liping Mansion in Guizhou, but I don't know how the Marquis of Zhenyu knows?" Li Xin's background is well known to everyone in the world, He Tengjiao only thinks that the marquis of this town is born as a horse thief, although he is a marquis, but he is born recklessly, and it is understandable that he does not know etiquette. However, he was deeply surprised that Li Xin could tell his hometown in one word, you need to know that he He Tengjiao is only a small county in Yanggu place, Li Xin is a person who goes straight to the Son of Heaven, how can he know his own details?

Li Xin suddenly remembered that this He Tengjiao was also one of the heroes of the anti-Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and it would be a coincidence to say that this person happened to be an official in Shandong. He also has to continue to confirm that there are no people with the same nationality and name, "He County's order is Yuncong?" ”

These were deeply in Li Xin's mind with his previous life, and he never forgot it even if he changed the world. He Tengjiao was completely confused by Li Xin, and just nodded his head to show his approval. At this point, it can already be confirmed that this He Tengjiao is He Tengjiao. Li Xinze's horse and He Tengjiao went hand in hand, and the two armies were transformed into long formations and marched eastward in parallel.

In the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, He Tengjiao is less famous than Shi Kefa and others, but he is one of the important ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty. But it is an indisputable fact that he was trapped in the enemy camp and calmly went to his death without surrendering, and this alone made him unavoidable.

He Tengjiao asked Li Xin how he knew his name and place of origin, and Li Xin was speechless and had to lie that he had heard someone mention it in Beijing, so he was fooled. However, after listening to He Tengjiao's self-complaint, he was very impressed. Not only that, but he also learned a series of important information from He Tengjiao's mouth.

It turned out that less than a year after He Tengjiao went to Yanggu County, he was attacked by thieves. Because after Liu Zeqing, the originally powerful Shandong commander-in-chief, was killed, his old troops were scattered, and they collapsed without a fight, and the prefectures and counties where the thieves crossed fell one after another, and countless local officials were martyred and died.

The thieves did not penetrate deep into Shandong, but went north along the Grand Canal, and soon arrived in Yanggu County. He Tengjiao was unwilling to fall so much, so he organized the local villagers and sheltered the defeated soldiers of nearby states and counties, and when the thieves advanced, they went to the city to resist.

He Tengjiao did not count how to resist the army of thieves, but the twists and turns in it Li Xin can be imagined. At this point, an important piece of information was revealed, and the thieves of the five battalions of Gezuo who broke into Shandong this time were not only He Yilong, but He Yilong and He Jin, and the two troops claimed to have 100,000 people. But according to He Tengjiao's speculation, there are always 50,000 or 60,000 people in Erhe, and the number of people is not much but no worse than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Wherever they passed, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

He Tengjiao felt that the prestige of the people was not obvious and his morale was low, and in order to attract the defeated troops from all over the country to surrender, he lied that when the vanguard sent by Yang Sichang of the Imperial Cabinet Department was in Yanggu City, the defeated troops from all over the vicinity heard about it and joined one after another, so the number of troops in Yanggu County reached as many as six or seven thousand at its peak. Another unexpected effect was that Erhe's two troops abandoned Yanggu, which was not located on the main road of the Grand Canal, and then divided their troops and went north along the east and west roads.

According to the collection of information from many parties, He Tengjiao made a judgment that the reason why He Yilong and He Jin of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo entered Shandong and were anxious to go north was that the target was Linqing, which is known as Suzhou and Hangzhou in the north. Once the countless military resources that Yang Sichang had hoarded north of the Yellow River fell into the hands of the thieves or were burned, the Central Plains bandits would inevitably fall short.

Li Xin frequently heard He Tengjiao say the word "Old Road of the Yellow River", so he asked what it meant, and He Tengjiao explained it again. It turned out that the Yellow River had been flooded and diverted several times in history, and before the Southern Song Dynasty, it had been flowing into the sea from Hebei and Shandong, until the second year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, Du Chong, the defender of Tokyo, dug the Yellow River embankment in Huazhou in order to resist the southward movement of the Jin soldiers, and the Yellow River flowed into the sea from Jishui and Surabaya to the southeast respectively. Since then, it has undergone several large-scale diversions, and has always been blocked by manpower to block the southward flow, and then seized the Huai into the sea, and the course of the Yellow River has been stable to this day.

After the Yellow River was diverted to the south and seized the Huai River into the sea, although the river tended to be stable, since the Hongwu Dynasty, the breach was as many as hundreds of times, almost once every seven months, and the people of the Huanghuai Dynasty were ruined and killed countless people. He Tengjiao said this, heartbroken, and his feelings were steep and excited. As for the old channel of the Yellow River, there is still river water flowing through, and the water potential is small, but without the flooding of the Yellow River, the river channel is stable, so it is still one of the important waterways connecting the east and the west.

Li Xin was taken aback by these words, and also subverted his impression of the Yellow River from the peaceful years, never imagined that this mother river, which has been praised thousands of times, would take countless lives in thousands of years, and bring unspeakable disasters to the people of Huanghuai. Perhaps in the eyes of the people of the time, the so-called mother river was tantamount to a demon that eats people and does not spit out bones.

"The scourge of the artesian thieves spread to Shandong for more than a month, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were gathered under the command of the lower officials." Speaking of this, He Tengjiao on the horse actually smiled, "The lower officials are complacent, for fear that the imperial court will be unprepared in Linqing, and suffer a big loss, so he led his troops to the north. ”

I can't see that He Tengjiao, who seems to be a little old-fashioned, can organize tens of thousands of his troops as a county commander, defend Yanggu, and scare away thieves, not to mention, he still has a keen strategic intuition, which really can't be underestimated.

"I don't know what the county order plans to do after today?"

It seems that the situation in Shandong and Henan is more complicated than Li Xin imagined, and it seems that the situation of suppressing thieves in the Central Plains is definitely not as simple as the situation of reporting to the imperial court. Li Xin deeply felt that it was difficult to see the bottom of this muddy water, but in fact, everyone could see the simple truth, the reason why the thieves have been repeatedly suppressed for more than ten years is because they have a headache and a pain in their feet, and the root cause has not been solved.

The reason why the thieves are causing disaster is fundamentally the vast number of homeless ordinary people who have suffered from various disasters. Among them, there are also thieves who take the initiative to do it, coercing thousands of people to roar and come and go, and over time it has become a vicious circle, and it is reasonable to continue to suppress them.

He Tengjiao's eyes rarely showed a little dazed, "After all, the subordinate is not worthy of the name, and he plans to go back to Yanggu and fulfill the responsibility of guarding the land..."

Li Xin only felt that with He Tengjiao's ability, let him be a Yanggu County Commander who doesn't is really a bit condescending, and go back to find an opportunity to let Zhang Fangyan promote this person to a suitable official position, which can be used to the best of his ability.

When they arrived at Dongchang Mansion, Li Xin and He Tengjiao said goodbye, and the two armies also went their separate ways. Li Xin led Niu Jinsong and others all the way to the east, but he was encountering Gu Shishi coming from south to north with the main force.

Niu Jinsong's eyes were sharp, and he saw Gu Shixi's general banner at a glance, "General, look, isn't that Gu Pingyu..."

Since Niu Jinsong was given his name by the emperor, he never mentioned his former cheap life, and called him by his name no matter the occasion. When it comes to Gu Fourteen, Li Xin is already a little angry, this person is a little narrow-minded on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do such an unreliable thing today...

However, fortunately, Niu Jinsong realized it afterwards and did not feel that Gu Shishi's inappropriate behavior today, so Li Xin would not take the initiative to disclose this matter, otherwise it would be unbeautiful to provoke contradictions among his subordinates.

It wasn't until he returned to Fucheng that Gu Shishi's explanation to Li Xin still couldn't calm his anger.

It turned out that Gu Shishi encountered He Jinbu of the fifth battalion of Gezuo on the way, seeing that the other party was only seven or eight thousand people, but he was waving the banner of the boss, Gu Shixi thought that he had encountered a big fish, so he chased all the way, and finally captured the opponent's main general, but unfortunately it was not He Jin, but his subordinate He Yi. It's just that after this delay, the rescue of Niu Jinsong has been completely delayed.

Li Xin questioned him where he put his brother in his heart. Gu Shishi calmly replied: "The life and death of Niu Dan are uncertain, but the current thief and soldier Daxu Banner is real, let me ask the general to be so decisive when he has the opportunity..."

Li Xin asked him again where he placed the military order. Gu Shishi still replied calmly: "The main general of the road is leading the army, and he can make a decision on the spot, otherwise the battlefield will change rapidly, and I don't know how many fighters will be delayed......

On the same day, Li Xin issued a military order, but Gu Pingyu did not listen to the post of commander-in-chief, and his post was temporarily replaced by Heisenberg, the commander of the First Artillery Battalion. For this matter, many people came to intercede for Gu Shishi, but Li Xin changed it. In the evening, someone outside the city suddenly called the city, claiming that there was an important military plane asking to see the city guards.

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and after checking his diploma, they led him to the new commander-in-chief, Heisenberg, who was so rigid that he did not say a word to provoke the man to be furious, and called for the highest official in the city. Seeing this, Heisenberg simply brushed his sleeves away and ignored this person.

When Li Xin learned of this, it was already night, and he felt that this person was acting strangely, so he asked him to be brought to see him. Which Cheng thought that this person would be stunned when he opened his mouth.

"Ordered by Elder Zhou Ge, please move to Xuzhou to guard the Pavilion Elder to the north..."

Li Xin asked him to speak slowly, and asked in detail who Zhou Ge Lao was. The man said word by word: "There are still a few more Zhou Ge Lao, and my family's old name is Confucian... I entered Beijing by the order of the Son of Heaven..."
