(Thanks to the big bookworm Fengyun, the promise not to allow a lifetime, Ps Dream Xingchen, Kazhka and other book friends for the reward!) ）

The Linqing Water Gate was controlled, and the canal transportation was interrupted, but in just a few days, the governor of the river and all the cities along the way, including the Sijiu City, had already felt the change.

After some investigation and interrogation of passing ships, he learned that Linqingzhou City had been captured by the thieves.

This is a hole in the sky and a great disaster!

All the officials who knew about this matter were immediately like ants on a hot pot, writing songs, expressing affection, asking for help, and informing them in secret letters, and there was chaos for a while.

All the officials know that this is a hot potato, and the one who can capture the big city of Linqing is definitely not an ordinary thief, and it is definitely quite tricky.

There's one more terrible thing about this!

When a small official asked, he said more, wanting to know what those thieves looked like.

Many of the sailors who escaped from the ship described in a rambling tongue what a country fool with three heads and six arms, a fist with a grinding plate, and a fire-breathing or something, and the point they mentioned together aroused the close attention of all the people.

"Short hair, short hair, all that's left is stubble!"

"The braids are all shaved off, and the braids are not left!"

"Grab someone and shave off your braids after a few brushes, and you can run fast!"

"The big families didn't let it go, and they were all shaved off."

The officials who questioned them immediately became numb, glared at the mouthy little official, and made a heavy note in their hearts with hatred.

Ordinary anti-thieves are okay, shaved off their braids, but they are incompatible with "I Daqing", and they will not die!

These officials were all cold in their hearts, thinking of the tragic fate of those officials who violated the holy law of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the hatred in their hearts was another layer.

But now that you know it, you can't pretend not to hear it, otherwise you will be beaten as an accomplice, so a "short-haired" anti-thief title is invariably mentioned in a compendium.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty court, which had just lost many ministers and ministers, and was in the throes of chaos in Sijiu City, directly received the twists and turns that flew like a mountain.

At the same time, the shops and rice stores in Sijiu City, which smelled a bad smell, secretly changed the price sign at the door and replaced it with a price tag that more than doubled the price, and also said that it was limited.

Sijiu City, which had just calmed down a little, immediately surged in turmoil, and the prices of other commodities also rose sharply, and the dark tide began to rise and fall......

At the same time, the governor of Shandong River and the governor and admiral of Shandong immediately burned down the house like a fire, and ordered more than 10,000 troops from each standard battalion under their command, and set out their divisions, advancing by land and water, and pressed towards Linqing City day and night.

They must make amends as soon as possible to eliminate this gang of "short-haired" thieves and make a contribution so that they will not be held accountable.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenghuang and the Yellow Manchurian and Mongolian Banners stationed in Shandong immediately immediately began to prepare when they received the order of the Qing court.

Zhenghuang and inlaid yellow flags are unified and the two deputy are all unified with the printing staff, the leader, the deputy leader, the seal Zhangjing, the assistant leader, the Xiao Riding School, the printing pen style, the leader, the vest, the armor, the raising soldiers, the pro-military school, the army, the chief of the archer, the archer. There are also trombone da, trombone, helmeters, saddlers, nets, yuanjia, messengers, messengers, pavilion soldiers, worship Tanga, tea worship Tanga, saddle craftsmen, etc., a total of more than 2,500 people, prepared grain and grass, towards Linqing City fast horses, galloping.

Two days later.

The outside of Linqing City has lost its original bustle, and all kinds of reception offices that were set up before have been taken into the city, and the city gate has also been closed.

At this time, Linqing had already entered a state of combat readiness.

Piercing sirens sounded over and over again over Linqing City.

Military control was imposed throughout the city, and curfews were imposed at night. The merchants closed their doors early and hid in their homes to see no outsiders.

Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang detected the arrival of the Qing Dynasty army early, and when they marched dozens of miles away, the smoke and dust had already reached the sky.

More than ten miles outside Linqing City, the two of them also sent template soldiers to lead people to arrange a mine array, promising that they would make these officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty Green Battalion and the Eight Banners Cavalry who came in a hurry and did not understand the situation drink a pot of ruthlessness.

At the same time, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang exchanged for more command template officers, combat template soldiers and logistics template soldiers, as well as a huge number of various heavy weapons.

This battle was the first test for the establishment of the PLA base in Linqing City, and countless pairs of eyes were staring closely, wanting to see the result.

If it wins, the future policy implementation and reform will be unfavorable; If defeated, countless people immediately jumped out to expose the rod and took the initiative to be the internal response of the Qing army, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang even suspected that there would be anti-water soldiers in their People's Liberation Army.

There are many benefits to fighting this battle, and there will be a powerful deterrent to the Qing Dynasty externally, and the Qing Dynasty forces in the entire Shandong region will collapse immediately, and internally, the Shandong region can almost let the two of them run the scale.

Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang directly ordered to temporarily stop all affairs in the whole city of Linqing, and all work tasks were concentrated on this war that must be won.

Half a day later, with a series of loud noises, neighing of people on their backs, and the sound of firelight explosions, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang's mood also relaxed a little.

This laid out mine belt can definitely make the Qing army suffer heavy losses.

Mine burial sites.

Zheng Huang Qi led the horse rope and looked at the large number of broken corpses of people and horses in front of him, as well as dozens of large pits formed by explosions.

The pro-military school next to it didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

They had also encountered this kind of minefield when they were fighting the Ming Dynasty decades ago.

But that kind of mine is not the same at all, and it is far less powerful or concealed.

And after all, it has been peaceful for decades and nearly a hundred years, and these Eight Banners soldiers who have changed a few stubbles can't remember this thing if they haven't touched the mine array.

After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the development and development of firearms and gunpowder were strictly controlled, and their use of these things was only the use of some general cannons and muskets.

So they galloped all the way, and the army was defenseless at all, and as a result, they were blown up so hard that five or six hundred people could not find even a complete corpse.

You must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the soldiers of the Eight Banners, was very taboo to have their heads cut off and their bodies incomplete.

The counselor looked at it for a while, his face was blue, he didn't speak, his eyes were cold, he waved his hand, and the dozen or so nurturing soldiers behind him immediately pulled a string of ropes and tied up the Han disaster victims to the front.

These victims were captured by the Eight Banners soldiers on the official road, and they were originally intended to drive the siege of the city and fill the river, but now that things are urgent, they have to change their plans.

"Untie the rope and let them explore the way!"

The leader sat on a tall horse, not moving.

Immediately, someone received an order to step forward and borrow the ropes tied to these people, and the eight banners behind them immediately drew their bows and pointed arrows at these victims.

Several of the victims were suddenly untied and hurriedly ran to the left and right, and countless bows and arrows "brushed" and pinned them to the ground.

The rest immediately stiffened, not daring to move.

"Order them to run ahead!"

Several pro-military schools hurriedly issued orders.

With a command, several horsewhips came across the air and whipped heavily on the still stunned victims.

The victims immediately ran forward as hard as they could.

These victims ran faster and faster, but the Eight Banners Army behind them did not move at all, except for still aiming their bows and arrows at them, they were all watching quietly with their eyes wide open.

"Boom"

As expected, the mine belt here is far from being blown up.

As the victims ran, more laid mines were touched and exploded.

As a result, more Han victims were pulled down in front of them one by one, untied ropes and let them wade through mines.

Many of the victims were unwilling to die, so they ran halfway into the woods, but then they were strung into sugar gourds by the arrows that came at them, forming a powerful deterrent to those who came after them.

After more than an hour, more than a dozen waves of pathfinders passed, new victims ran past, and there were no more explosions.

The first counselor looked at the victims who were still running desperately with their chests like bellows, pursed their lips, and their eyes became even colder.

The pro-military academy next to it hurriedly issued an order, and the archers of the Eight Banners immediately opened their bows with full strings, and none of these fleeing victims escaped, and were directly shot to death in place.

More than a dozen messengers immediately rushed over to take the head, and then sent it to hang on both sides of the horse, which was recorded as a military feat to kill the thief.

These Eight Banners immediately rushed to the outside of Linqing City.
