The Tuan Zheng who was named hurriedly agreed, and each ran to make arrangements, the sun was about to set, and the inside and outside of Linqing City began to become quiet.

In addition to Xuzhou and the scope of the control, there is a commonality in any place in the Ming Dynasty, that is, once there is a disaster and famine, there will inevitably be a human disaster to take advantage of the fire to rob, there are always scoundrels, looking at the chaotic situation, gathered to kill people and set fires, do whatever they want, when the cannon outside the city of Linqing sounded, and the people in the city were panicked, someone immediately gathered to make trouble, rushed to those who usually need to be in awe and look up to the big families, to make a fortune and live happily.

It's quiet outside the city, but the city is already in chaos, by this time, it was Yunshan Xing, who was coldly rejected by people some time ago, took action, they organized a guy Qingzhuang, guarding the shop, and protecting the nearby people, those people also have young and strong Ding Yong, but they are panicked, and they don't know how to deal with it, but Yunshanxing organizes this but has a plan, and after their deployment and command, it is difficult for those thieves who take advantage of the fire to rob it.

Li Yuliang's family is the same, there are people who come to pick up cheap, I feel that the Li family colluded with Xuzhou thieves, and the official uniform has been too lazy to pay attention, and when this matter passes, I have to ask for the crime and go to prison, and now everyone has raided the house in advance, and it can be regarded as the elimination of harm for the people and officials, I never thought that the people left behind by the Li family are all outlaws hired with a lot of money, and they are prepared for the opening of the city, which is not that the internal guards have greeted in advance, but the Li family's own preparations, and the Li family father and son always feel that they have done too little for Xuzhou, Those improvised rabble were able to withstand the fight of the outlaws, and those who were directly killed fell into the water.

If it weren't for the city being blown open, the Fengpei regiment and the Suzhou regiment began to enter the city, I am afraid that there would be a big disaster in Linqing City, someone has already started to set fires, Zhao Jiajun knows what to do about this, the killing of melons and vegetables will pass, when the blood is all over the ground, the law and order will be maintained, and the Zhao family army pays attention to not entering the door, they do not take advantage of the fire to rob, and they will naturally be able to gain trust soon.

Zhao Jin was resting in the Zhuangzi outside the city of Linqing, and when it was dark, the city sent a message, saying that the order had been stabilized, and the city gates had been blocked everywhere, and it was very inconvenient for horses to enter.

But after this chaos, the gentry and Haoqiang, who were originally resistant in the city, changed the direction of the wind and were willing to let the Zhao family army enter the city, could it be that they were frightened by this shelling? Li Yuliang had already led people into the whole city to investigate, and the news he brought out made everyone laugh at Zhao Jiajun, why did he change his attitude, but because of this time he took advantage of the fire to rob.

Among the people who took advantage of the fire to rob in Linqing City, many of them were the catchers and servants of the Zhizhou Yamen, and they saw that this chaos was a good opportunity, and they contacted those city fox society rats well, and immediately swarmed out as soon as they had the opportunity, but they were killed after the Zhao family army entered the city.

I originally thought that the one who protected everyone became a bandit, but the bandits who were originally on guard have stabilized the law and order, which makes the gentry and heroes in the city really feel awkward, but everyone is also very realistic, who can protect themselves, who can dominate the situation, then naturally bow to whom.

Zhao Jiajun did not care about whether the top and bottom of Linqing City bowed or not, and after completely controlling this side of the city, he stationed it with Lu Da's abundant regiment and an artillery company, and the whole army rested for a day and then went north.

Linqing City itself stores a large amount of grain and grass, he is one of the hub of the canal, from Jining to transport military grain and grass or unload here, or directly on the back to supply the army, although Linqing City is not really controlled by the Zhao battalion, but there is already a farm farm in the operation, after mastering the city and the wharf, the whole area will become a solid rear, and now the newly established military barracks are also in place, and when the Zhao army sets off, this side is no longer worried about the attack from the direction of Beizhili and Jinanfu.

"We occupy Linqing, if the main force of the official army does not go crazy, it can only gather in Tianjin first, and then go south along the river, the battle will inevitably take place in the territory of Hejian Province, estimate the speed of each other's marches, and the two sides will only engage in battle in Cangzhou or north of Cangzhou"

By this time, the situation on the battlefield was already very clear, it was impossible for the officers and troops gathered in Beizhili not to take the canal, and it was impossible to give up Linqingzhou, if Linqingzhou was not recaptured, the officers and troops would only be blocked in the territory of Beizhili, and they would be dispersed after the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied, so they could only fight, and the battle would only take place along the canal, and the approximate location was easy to estimate.

************

Outside the east gate of Fucheng River, there is a newly built military camp, more than 2,600 cavalry are stationed in the camp, they are the official army that will suppress the defeat and retreat of the Xuzhou thieves in the first month, and they will camp on the spot after gathering here, this camp has always been a thorn in the eye of the gentry and people in the river, and the flesh is a thorn.

More than 2,600 men and horses need food and grass for the people, which is almost equal to the consumption of more than 10,000 foot soldiers, although the Hejian Mansion is not poor, but it can be smashed down out of thin air Such a comparison of consumption, no one can stand it, the gentry and the common people were cut flesh and blood, and the usual benefits of the officials and servants were also less fast, which was really the anger of people and gods.

This time the Xuzhou thief army went north, when the Beijing division knew the news, immediately sent a messenger to Hejian Mansion to urge more than 2,000 cavalry to attack and intercept, in order to win time for the imperial army to assemble south, the news spread, Hejian Mansion City was surrounded by jubilation, thinking that this scourge was finally gone, although the imperial court's nearly 100,000 troops crossing Hejian Mansion must have caused a lot of damage to the local area, but after all, it was better than this endless stationing.

Having said that, more than 2,000 cavalry and thieves are engaged in battle, no matter how they destroy the withering and decaying, there will definitely be casualties, so even if they come back and continue to be stationed, the local burden will be lighter, the people of Hejian Mansion have never considered that the official army will lose, the official army dispatched nearly 100,000 this time, and it is the border army of Xuanfu and Jizhen as the main force, even if the thief soldiers have three heads and six arms, they will be flattened this time, and now everyone is looking forward to those cavalry leaving early and dying more on the battlefield.

Tianjin Bingbei Dao Zhang Zaixin has been in the Hejian barracks for six days, although the supply of Hejian Mansion is very good, but Lord Zhang's face is always gloomy, he was ordered to come over to urge Er Yang to send troops to meet the enemy, but Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong have been delaying, Zhang Zaixin is already a little anxious, the army is gathered in Tianjin, if he does not hurry back, the situation of operating for several years will be gnawed by all kinds of immortals.

But Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong, who were guilty of meritorious service, were very lazy, and were always reluctant to send the whole army, and at first sent 500 cavalry to say that they were going to attack the Linqing Canal wharf and set fire to the grain.

But Zhang Zaixin also knew that the bigwigs in Beijing were anxious, and if they couldn't do this errand by themselves, they would be treated as scapegoats nine times out of ten, so Zhang Zaixin didn't care about any politeness, and kept urging all day long, but this Tianjin soldier Beidao had scruples and didn't dare to force it too tightly, the other party was thousands of elites, and if he was in a hurry, he would kill himself, and there would really be nowhere to reason about it.

"The remnants of the eunuch party, they don't even know that they have made meritorious contributions in order to recover, and they are always delaying here, is it possible that they want to drag the army back?" Zhang Zaixin scolded in private, I don't know how many times.

That Yang Zhaoji was the general soldier of Datong that year, and later became the general soldier of Caozhou and the general soldier of Daimyo, Yang Guodong is also an old qualified general soldier of Shandong, even if he is a noble and lowly soldier, he is not qualified to be rough in front of the general soldier, Zhang Zaixin no matter how anxious, can only follow the pace of the other party, watching the other party just keep sending light horses every day, and keep receiving news.

Zhang Zaixin has no interest in the movements of the Xuzhou thief army, and the most important thing now is to let this cavalry go out of the camp to intercept it, so that he can hand over to the top.

In this way, until the middle of April, Zhang Zaixin got a promise from Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong, saying that as long as Hejian Mansion gathered enough food and grass for three days, they would immediately go to the expedition, and Zhang Zaixin immediately went to contact Hejian Mansion.

The Hejian Prefecture has been delaying and deducting the supply of military rations, and this time it has taken out a full two days of grain and grass, and the extra day has been used as the benefits of the prefecture and the county and Zhang Bingbeidao, and now everything is really ready, just waiting for the troops.

It is said that this soldier is fast, and if he wants to move, he must move quickly, but this veteran Yang Zhaoji actually wants to swear before the battle, that Zhang Zaixin and the prefect of Hejian are secretly scolded in their stomachs, and on the surface, they can only pinch their noses and obey, and praise this is the morale of the strong army.

"Brothers from Shandong, Beizhili and Liaozhen, we have all met with Xuzhou thieves, this time there are twice as many thieves in Xuzhou as last time, and they bring more cannons, let's go this time, the old man will not hide it from everyone, it is really nine deaths!" On the school field, Yang Zhaoji shouted in a thick voice, and the soldiers and guards around him passed it loudly.

Hearing this, Bing Beidao and the prefect, who were originally full of smirks, both changed their faces, how could they be so unlucky, before they went into battle, they actually said "nine deaths and one life", but on this school field, every officer and cavalry was full of resentment, and they really didn't dare to stop it, for fear of mutiny and trouble on the spot.

Yang Zhaoji, the former chief soldier of the Daimyo, took off his helmet, revealing a head full of white hair, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Brothers! It was the old man who dragged you down, if it weren't for the old man who was assigned by Father-in-law Wei, we should have gone to Tianjin to meet now, instead of going to the south to die. ”

"Yang Zhaoji! You don't want to be lawless! Hearing this, Zhang Zaixin finally couldn't help it, stood up and shouted angrily, saying here that he might die, but if he didn't show his attitude, nine times out of ten it would be worse than death.

As soon as he stood up, Yang Zhaoji's personal soldiers pulled out half of the knife, Zhang Zaixin's face turned pale, and he sat back again, his guards still dared to move, Yang Guodong glanced back, and just continued to shout.
