When the horse team of the first brigade appeared outside Ziyang City, the entire Ziyang City fell into an eerie silence, and the Ziyang garrison wanted to escape in disguise, but the surrounding camp was closely watched by the officials under the prefect and county, and there was no chance at all.

Of course, the people of the government and the county government understand the proportions, they clearly know that if it were not for Xuzhou to make arrangements in advance, the city would have been chaotic now, and the scene of robbery while the fire was definitely indispensable, as for the towering city wall is not an obstacle at all, even if there is no cannon, there will be countless people rushing to open the door from the inside to invite merit, since they all understand it so well, then don't be reckless and do anything wrong, so simply think about the people of Xuzhou, first look at the officials and soldiers, don't add chaos to the fathers and elders of the city.

The arrangement of the prefect and the county, the gentry in Ziyang City are quite supportive, this is a good official for the sake of the people, and even someone contacted several generals in the official army, if someone is really reckless, there will be righteous people within the official army, Ziyang garrison and two thousand generals were finally allowed to take their savings and leave with their families, the soldiers did not have the slightest courage, handed over the weapons and surrendered out of the city, they all heard that Xuzhou with people is quite magnanimous, farming and eating is always better than being a soldier.

After getting Zhao Jin's permission, the Yanzhou Mansion began to report to Jining urgently, saying that the Xuzhou thieves were going north with bad intentions, and the Yanzhou Mansion was determined to resist, but they were outnumbered, and asked the imperial court and the provincial government to rescue them quickly

It will make people laugh and cry, after Zhao Jin led the army from Jining along the canal, the urgent document was sent from the city, and he never hurried, so he followed the brigade of the Zhao family's army, and at this time, there were no more officers and troops in the huge Yanzhou Mansion.

"Now Shandong only has Dengzhou Mansion newly recruited Liao soldiers, the number of thousands, can not form a combat force, at this time even if it is dispatched, more than 1,000 officers and troops in Jinan Mansion have now shrunk to Fucheng, don't worry about anything, if Denglai Town and Jinan Mansion officers and troops come to fight head-on, it is to die, if they want to take the flank to copy the back road, Tengxian Regiment, Yizhou Regiment and those military barracks will give them a good look......"

After the various departments of the Zhao family army met under the city of Jining, they set out to camp and set off, and set up camp when they were close to Liangshan in Dongping Prefecture, Zhao Jin convened the generals to discuss, the atmosphere in the military tent was not tense, there was no resistance at all along the way, only the gentry and local tyrants came to labor the army with wine, meat, grain and grass, and they were more bold to come and take refuge with the young and strong, and everyone thought that the sky was going to change.

It's not that there is no battle, but this battle is not between the Zhao family army and the official army, but the Zhao family army cavalry came out in all directions, sweeping away those bandits and bullies who pretended to be Xuzhou and took advantage of the fire to rob, which was no different from hunting.

On the table, there are several captured missionaries who made a sand table with clay and fine sand as raw materials, the general terrain is undulating, the hills and rivers of the cities and villages, etc., are marked on it, so that it looks much more intuitive, and Zhao Jin holds a thin wooden pole to point out and explain.

"There will not be any large-scale battles in the three prefectures of Shandong, East and West, but when the city is captured, maybe the gentry of the government in the city will organize the people to defend the city, but our artillery this time is large enough, and there are internal responses in those few important cities, so it is not an obstacle."

Hearing Zhao Jin's words, the generals in the military tent all showed smiles on their faces, originally the most headache of the Zhao Zi camp was the high wall and deep ditch, and everyone was reluctant to use the elite family soldiers to consume the siege, but now the cannon bombarded the past, and the gates of the city wall were directly collapsed, and the rolling wooden stone bows and arrows on the city wall were a joke in front of the artillery.

"The key to Shandong is Linqing City, our northward camp is located there, Dongchang Mansion, Jinan Mansion and Hejian Mansion, only Linqing City can provide us with enough grain and grass, according to the news of the internal guard, the Xuanfu official army has only passed through Liangxiang now, and the Jizhen official army will only arrive in Tianjin in one day, if nothing else, the decisive battlefield will be in Hejian Mansion, and our advance and retreat must rely on Linqing, so we must really master it!"

The march of the army, all the time to consider food and water sources, without this, do not talk about any combat power, and the waterway is also of great significance to the transportation of heavy grain and grass, there is this premise, and then look at the other party's goal, then the march route can be roughly confirmed, the official army will definitely converge in Tianjin, and then go south along the canal, in addition to the waterway itself, only the canal line can supply the army's grain and grass in sufficient quantities.

The so-called surprise soldiers and partial divisions are just arrangements made within one to two days of being away from each other, and this still has to take a lot of risks, in such a confrontation of 100,000 people, the general trend is easy to judge.

"The meaning of the imperial court is actually the same as our army, we are ready to set up a large camp in Jining and Linqing, they are preparing to set up a large camp in Tianjin and Linqing, the household department has already raised grain and grass in Linqing, the Li family is now also helping us allocate hoarding, according to the current marching speed, our army will definitely arrive in Linqing as soon as possible, but if someone in Linqing wants to do something extreme, it will be a great risk to us, everyone, this battle must be perfect, there can be no risk, the horse team set off first, control the granary outside the city of Linqing, Don't seek to seize the city, but we must control the granary, if we can't control it, we don't worry about failure, but this time we can't get out of Shandong! ”

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

Located in the northern part of Dongchang Prefecture, Linqing Prefecture has a similar pattern to Jining Prefecture in Yanzhou Prefecture, with canals outside the city, granaries and prosperous land boundaries.

In the first month, the Xuzhou people and the official army fought in Dongpingzhou, the official army was defeated, and the top and bottom of Linqingzhou also panicked, many people went to Li Patrol and his son to express their loyalty to Xuzhou, and some people kowtowed directly in front of Li Patrol and his son, and directly shouted "Long live the king", and waited until Xuzhou took the initiative to retreat, which was quiet.

Next is the crazy plan of Wei Gonggong Wei Zhongxian, which made Linqingzhou frightened again, and then Wei Gonggong was recalled, and the imperial court wanted to recruit An Xuzhou, and then the Qingliu in the court put forward a more crazy plan, if you want to win over an extreme madness, you can only be more extreme and crazy than him, but this makes the wealthy merchants and gentry in Linqingzhou worry and frightened.

Although there was a holy aunt of the Wenxiang Sect in this city, and there was a close collusion with Xuzhou like Li Inspector, but after all, Linqingzhou was still the land of the Ming Dynasty, and under the rule of the king, when the imperial court and the provincial governor sent people to come, Linqingzhou was urged to operate.

The imperial court is willing to give out the silver, and under the pressure of the power of the household department, and there are also the bigwigs behind the grain merchants who acquiesce, those grain merchants who suck the blood and start to spit it back willingly or reluctantly, but these are all changes in the accounts, so many granaries on the canal wharf actually have nothing in and out, it is nothing more than a certain granary at this time assigned to a certain party.

What makes many people in Linqing laugh is that the household department and the governor are collecting grain, the Li family and Yunshan Xing are also buying, the two sides actually do not interfere with each other, and there is even a situation where they raise the price of each other in a certain family, it is not surprising to say, if it is an ordinary merchant, the government sent officials to take the seal and requisition, how can the role of doing the grain business be easy to provoke, you dare to requisition, tomorrow the official position will not be guaranteed, these and Qingliu ministers are inextricably linked to the rich businessmen are already pinching their noses to do things for the country this time, Compensate for the high price.

According to everyone's previous experience, they all feel that this time Xuzhou will passively face the battle, the imperial court sent a large army to the south, it is not good that the battlefield is still in the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, near Jining, who would have thought that this time Xuzhou Zhao's army reacted very quickly, when the imperial court was still mobilizing soldiers and horses, they had already assembled in Jining and came towards Dongchang Mansion, anyone could think that this Linqing City was bound to move by the other party.

Originally, Linqingzhou was very enthusiastic about the people from the household department and the provincial capital, and quickly cooled down after the news arrived, and the people from the provincial capital were not ambiguous, and after getting the news for an hour, they immediately took people back to Jinan, why was it delayed for an hour, and they had to pack and load the benefits of the benefits they got in Linqingzhou, otherwise this time it would be in vain.

Pan Hejian, the chief of the household department, quickly made a decision, he called the attaché and the guards together, and then closed the courtyard door and the door of the house, and the people who stared at this side of Linqing City felt that it was a joke, this Donglin born in the household department Pan came to Linqing after the tune shouted very loudly, and kept saying things for the country, as a result, the silver sent by the grain merchants, and the women who carried it were all laughing, and they really couldn't see that it was "Qing".

The gold and silver of the white flowers were placed in front of the hall, and they had been divided into equal portions, and when they saw this money, the guards and servants of the attachés were wide-eyed, and the sharp-eyed ones could still recognize it, this was the benefit of the grain merchants who sent it, how could each share also have a hundred taels, and how could it be regarded as a good life for a few years if it was used to buy a house and land.

Pan Hejian was wearing an official robe, the hem of his robe was tied tightly with ropes, he was holding a long sword in his hand, and said with a resolute face: "Everyone, the imperial army is slow, but Xuzhou's rebellion is coming quickly, the rebels must arrive in Linqing City as early as possible, and the grain and grass outside the city are all seized by the thieves, and it has become the capital for them to rebel and harm the world. ”

The entourage guards and servants below only stared at the gold and silver, and were not interested in the lecture of this Chief Pan, who did not know these deeds, this is not a secret, and now everyone is most concerned about what Chief Pan is going to do with so much gold and silver.

"This official reads and knows the righteousness, and he must be loyal to the king to serve the country, how can he sit back and watch this Linqing Prefecture fall into the hands of the thief army!" Director Pan said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, before his words fell, someone took a few steps back, everyone is on an errand to serve others to support themselves, but they don't want to follow you to fight against the thieves, or defend the city or something, that is self-defeating.
