When Emperor Xuande received Emperor Hongxi's edict to enter Beijing last year, Shi Hu and Zhao Sheng, the prefect of Jining Prefecture, were ordered by King Han to set up a card check on the boundary of Jining Prefecture, and almost intercepted Emperor Xuande.

After Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, Shi Hu should have been executed, but Li Yuntian interceded for him, was able to leave a "sex" life, and was sent to the frontier, and his family was not affected.

Of course, Shi Hu's crime of being assigned to the frontier was naturally not a conspiracy to intercept and kill Emperor Xuande, but a charge of knowing the law and breaking the law and colliding with Jinyiwei by Li Yuntian.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Shi Hu is unlucky must be related to Emperor Xuande, because Jining Wharf is an important stop for the canal to enter Beijing, and Li Yuntian, who was supposed to accompany Emperor Xuande into Beijing, was blocked by Shi Hu in Dexian County, and the cause and effect are clear at a glance.

As Chen Lang, who was also an official in the Shandong Metropolitan Division, naturally knew a lot about Shi Hu's affairs, to be honest, he also thought that Shi Hu would definitely die, who would have thought that in the end, not only did he save his life, but his family was fine.

Later, Chen Lang learned that it was Li Yuntian who came forward to save Shi Hu, because Li Yuntian promised Shi Hu a way to live when he was in Dexian County.

Although this incident did not have any impact on Chen Lang at that time, he just felt that Li Yuntian was interesting enough, but when the matter fell on his head, Chen Lang invisibly had a trust in Li Yuntian in his heart.

Just imagine, Li Yuntian can even save Shi Hu who committed the crime of intending to kill the king, and Chen Lang just followed the king of Han to rebel, so it is not a big deal in comparison.

The so-called one drink and one peck, there is a fixed number, I am afraid that the court can guess that the reason why Li Yuntian persuaded Emperor Xuande to tolerate Shi Hu was to pave the way for the confrontation with the King of Han in the future.

In this Black Tiger Gully ambush, the Ming army won a complete victory, and only paid the price of dozens of dead to annihilate the rebels led by Chen Lang, except for a very small number of fish who fled into the desert, almost all the rebels were captured.

In the face of the captives gathered in the Heihugou Mountains, Li Yuntian did not carry out incorporation, because the situation was urgent now, and he did not have time to reorganize now, so he adopted the strategy of dismissal, and all soldiers who were forcibly recruited, regardless of military or civilian households, were given a certain amount of military rations to let them return to their hometowns.

The soldiers of the rebel army led by Chen Lang are all civilians of Dengzhou and Laizhou, so the dismissed soldiers will return to their homes in Dengzhou and Laizhou. The update is the fastest and most stable

Li Yuntian assured the captives that the imperial court would not recruit them in Laizhou and Dengzhou, and that in view of the fact that Laizhou and Dengzhou were poisoned by the war, Dengzhou and Laizhou would be exempted from taxes for the next year.

Not only that, Li Yuntian also told the dismissed soldiers that if the rebels forcibly recruited them again, as long as they did not wave their weapons at the Ming army on the battlefield, then the imperial court would pardon them for rebellion in the future.

As for the soldiers who captured the guards of the Dengzhou Mansion, Li Yuntian handed them over to Chen Lang and asked him to bring them back to the Dengzhou Mansion, which not only expressed his trust in him, but also allowed him to have enough troops to control the situation, after all, there were still people in the Dengzhou Mansion who had taken refuge in the King of Han.

Li Yuntian agreed with Chen Lang that if he could persuade the defenders of Laizhou Mansion to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then Li Yuntian would keep Chen Lang's official position, so that he could stay in the officialdom and continue to serve as the commander of the Dengzhou guard.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Chen Lang, so that he can continue his officialdom career.

In order to supervise and restrain Chen Lang, he sent a thousand households to lead troops back to Dengzhou Mansion with Chen Lang, and the military law team was accompanied by more than 20 personnel.

Before dismissing those rebel soldiers, Li Yuntian conducted a conscription among the rebels, and now the biggest disadvantage for him is the lack of troops.

Although the danger of the rebels in the direction of Dengzhou and Laizhou has been temporarily lifted, the main threat Li Yuntian now faces is the rebels in Le'an.

Since the Ming army retreated to Jingzhou, the king of Han led a part of the rebels back to Le'an and began to encircle and suppress the Ming army in Qingzhou City, so Li Yuntian faced the elite of the rebels under the king of Han, and he had to find a way to replenish his troops.

According to Li Yuntian's previous thoughts, he was ready to abandon Qingzhou City, but before leaving, he had to leave a gift for the Han King to defeat the rebels in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion, and then retreat to Jinan City.

The reason why he chose to ambush Chen Lang's rebels was because Li Yuntian knew that the elite of the rebels in Dengzhou and Laizhou had been drawn away by the King of Han, and most of them were newly recruited strong men, so although Chen Lang led an army of 30,000 this time, he was still sure that he would defeat it with 10,000 Xiaowu troops.

But the development of the situation was beyond Li Yuntian's expectations, in the face of the Xiaowu army in Heihugou, the rebels led by Chen Lang surrendered after only a weak resistance, which made the Xiaowu army almost unscathed. [34315671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 343 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 346

With Chen Lang's surrender, Li Yuntian suddenly discovered that he was likely to pacify the rebels in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the rebels in these two places were at most twenty or thirty thousand, and they were mainly newly recruited strong men.

As the commander of the Dengzhou guard, Chen Lang occupies the advantages of geography, people, and people, so it is naturally not a problem to take Dengzhou, and his surrender will have a heavy impact on the rebels in Laizhou.

Laizhou faces the sea in the east and Dengju in the west, and once Dengzhou is returned to the imperial court, then it will be completely cut off and then fall into trouble.

As for the fact that the rebels of Laizhou attacked Dengzhou and regained control of Dengzhou, it was impossible, because Laizhou was located in the rear of the rebels, so the rebels on the books were at most 10,000, and they were not able to attack Dengzhou at all.

As a result, Qingzhou City has become the key, as long as Li Yuntian can defend Qingzhou City, then it will give Chen Lang a reassurance, so that he can work for the imperial court with peace of mind.

Therefore, Li Yuntian seized the opportunity to recruit troops, and tried to recruit those able-bodied and strong people to join the army, although these people could not charge into battle, but they were enough to defend the city and fight a war of attrition with the Han king.

And as long as Li Yuntian can hold Qingzhou City, then the King of Han will not bypass Qingzhou City to Dengzhou, not that the King of Han cannot take Dengzhou, but if he does not capture Qingzhou City, even if he takes Dengzhou, it is meaningless, and he can only waste his troops in vain.

After the ambush battle of Heihugou, Li Yuntian deeply realized that the fighters on the battlefield were changing rapidly and fleetingly, and now the threat of Chen Lang's rebels has been solved smoothly, which gave him a chance to stick to Qingzhou City.

In order to enable those captives to voluntarily join the army, Li Yuntian gave them generous conditions:

Those who join the army will be paid one tael of silver per month, and after the death of the war, they will be given a pension of twenty taels of silver, and their families will be exempted from taxes for two years.

Those who join the army from a military household will receive a monthly salary of one tael of silver, and a pension of ten taels of silver after the death of the war, and their families can be converted from military households to civilian households.

As soon as Li Yuntian's conditions were revealed, he immediately caused a sensation among the captives.

As far as the common people of the private households are concerned, the vast majority of them live in the countryside, and a family can earn less than ten taels of silver a year, while Li Yuntian's monthly salary is one tael of silver, and the pension after the death of the war is even more than 20 taels, which is a very big temptation.

For those military households, in addition to generous treatment, they are more interested in changing from military households to civilian households, and no one wants their families and descendants to suffer as military households.

Besides, now that the army is in chaos, if you go home, you can't be sure when you will be arrested again, since Li Yuntian can give such a high treatment, the captives will naturally sign up for the army.

However, it is not easy to join the Xiaowu Army, which needs the strongest of the captives, which makes most people only sigh and fail to reach their goals.

At dusk, Li Yuntian led the Xiaowu army to leave Heihugou and returned to Qingzhou City overnight.

Compared with when they came, there were nearly 5,000 more newly recruited soldiers in the Xiaowu Army, all of whom were young and healthy.

When they arrived at Qingzhou City, it was already morning, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that Li Yuntian had returned, so they hurriedly opened the city gate and let them in.

Qingzhou City Mansion, bedroom.

Although the night was dark at this time, Li Yuntian was completely sleepy, standing in front of the wall and staring at the map hanging on the wall.

According to the report of the spies, when he set up an ambush in Heihugou, Yang Yong had already led 30,000 horses to arrive at Donglin County, besieging but not attacking.

In addition, on the afternoon of Yang Yong's departure from Le'an City, King Han led 50,000 horses to Dezhou to reinforce the rebels in Dezhou City.

Li Yuntian can be sure that the king of Han went to Dezhou just to cover people's eyes, and the target must be to come out of Jinan City to rescue the Ming army in Qingzhou City.

In this way, the combined strength of the Han King and Yang Yong reached 80,000, which is not a rabble led by Chen Lang, if the Han King struggled to attack Qingzhou City under the command of the Han King, then even if Li Yuntian recalled Jin Rong's soldiers and horses in Donglin County, he would definitely not be able to hold Qingzhou City, and then Dengzhou and Laizhou would return to the arms of the Han King.

As for Xue Lu of Jinan City to send troops to the rescue, I am afraid that this is exactly what the King of Han is looking forward to, and the reinforcements can only be sent to death in vain at that time.

In order to solve the dilemma in front of him, Li Yuntian couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Qingzhou City has now become the key to the battle situation in Shandong, whether it is the Ming army or the rebel army, as long as they can occupy Qingzhou City, they can put huge pressure on the other party.

For the King of Han, if he could not take Qingzhou City, then he would lose Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the territory and population in his hands would be reduced to half of the original, which was a situation he absolutely did not want to see.

But how to successfully defend Qingzhou City, Li Yuntian thought about it and didn't have any good way, in the final analysis, the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, and he didn't have any good way for a while.

Unless...... Unless it can weaken the strength of the King of Han, the King of Han will have concerns and have to give up Qingzhou City!

Suddenly, Li Yuntian's gaze inadvertently fell on the icon of Donglin County on the map, and immediately a bright light appeared in front of him, and a bold idea came to his mind
