Chapter 172 Troops were sent to Qufu
According to Li Xingzhi's original intention, he wanted to order Yang Biao and Li Rui to rob the money and grain of King Lu's mansion.
But when he heard what Song Guangkun said, the Kong family actually had tens of millions of taels of silver and a large amount of grain, steel and other resources, so he decided to take a trip in person, after all, the transaction worth tens of millions of taels was not worried.
The soldiers were very fast, and with the prestige of the Eight Banners having just slaughtered Shandong, Li Xingzhi thought that there would be no problem in taking Qufu and Yanzhou at this time.
Of course, the looting of the Kong family, Li Xingzhi still has to hide from Lu Liangzhi and Qian Tianxi, after all, these people are saint disciples, once the news leaks, then these people will inevitably deviate from morality, and they don't have enough talents in their bags at present, so naturally they can't have internal chaos when they just built Leiden.
Thinking of this, Li Xingzhi said: "Li Rui, you select three infantry teams from the first town to form the third town with the Dengzhou Naval Division, go to Dengzhou first, and lay a good front station for Ben Shuai, and all the materials intercepted this time will be transferred to Dengzhou." ”
"Dashuai, this?"
Li Rui was a little reluctant, robbed Confucius Mansion and Lu Wangfu and other major events, he couldn't participate in it, and he actually had to go to Dengzhou, Dengzhou is said to have been slaughtered by Kong Youde, and the total population is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is simply a barren place.
"Let you go, you will go, if you go, you will put the current Dengzhou prefect and Penglai County Commander under house arrest for Ben Shuai, well, bring King De and the officials of Jinan to Ben Shuai, and it is best to place them all on the island near Penglai."
"Alas...... Here! Li Xingzhi spoke, Li Rui didn't dare not listen, and reluctantly received the military order.
"What are you sighing for, don't fucking know how to fight and kill all day long, this time I asked Mr. Song and Mr. Li to help you, and it is a great achievement to arrange it for me in Dengzhou, Yang Biao, and you also have what they have."
Li Xingzhi glared at Li Rui, and turned his head to look at Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang, Laizhou will be handed over to you, don't stay in the barracks all day to train soldiers, and learn from Lu Liangzhi and them in local affairs, discuss with Qian Anning if there is anything, in the future, our territory will be bigger, and you will all have to go out of the town." ”
Now the north is full of holes, according to history, the main force of the Qin army entered the defense of Gyeonggi, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are about to recover, next year Hongtai will besiege Jinzhou, in this chaotic situation, if the Jingbei army obtains the thousand-year accumulation of the Confucian family, it is not difficult to expand the territory.
All the officials are bright-eyed, they are people with utilitarian intentions, and the territory of the Jingbei Army has expanded, so their status is bound to rise.
Qian Anning got up and said: "Marshal, now that we have controlled Leiden, you have defeated more than 10,000 Manchurian soldiers, and now we have 20,000 male soldiers, and it is easy to collect the land of Shandong. ”
"Ugh!"
Li Xingzhi was a little confused, how could this be on himself.
Li Youcai said with a smile: "Dashuai, Huang Zongbing has a daughter, who is young and beautiful, beautiful and dignified, and now she is in Laizhou, if Dashuai and Huang Shuai are good for Qin and Jin, my Jingbei Army and Baoding Army can help each other, then Jinggi is only under our horses." ”
In Li Youcai's opinion, since Li Dashuai was able to rob the Dewang Mansion and is now preparing to ransack the Confucian Mansion, it is absolutely impossible to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is boiling today, North China is full of rogues and bandits, and the Eastern Captives have to come to loot from time to time, this Ming Dynasty can hold on, I am afraid that there will be a situation like the late Tang Dynasty, and if you want to have a chance to be promoted, you have to fall on this Li Dashuai.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Ben Shuai and Huang Zongbing are brothers, if you accept his daughter, wouldn't it be a mess of seniority?"
In the year of Ji Xuan, that is, just fifteen years old, he was a junior high school student in later generations, although Li Xingzhi was not a moral gentleman, but he could never do anything to harm a yellow-haired girl.
"Dashuai, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and the last general thinks that Dashuai still has to set a foundation early."
Wang Zhong, Li Rui, Yang Biao and others also came out to suggest that Li Xingzhi marry a wife as soon as possible, and his eager appearance was more eager than his own daughter-in-law.
"This matter is still waiting for the marshal to return from Yanzhou and then make a plan, this expedition, the iron soldiers, the first town seven infantry team, and the green flag soldiers are all dispatched, be sure to take Qufu in one fell swoop, after crossing the Jiaolai River, we will raise Yue Tuo's Wang Banner to attack Qufu, let Ma Sande wait for us to return to the division and then go to Beijing to report the victory."
Li Xingzhi is noncommittal, this matter can only be delayed for a while, to be honest, if the daughter of the Huang family reaches the age of eighteen, Li Xingzhi will probably not resist, in this troubled era when the Tatars are about to enter the Central Plains, it is impossible for him to have time to have a relationship with women and children.
On February 14 of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Li Xingzhi immediately led all the armies to go out in the name of pursuing the Dongyu, and this time there were 3,500 people in the first town and 4,500 people in the four banners of the green flag soldiers, with a total of 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry.
In the first battle of Liujiazhai in the former, the armor and military flags of the Eight Banners captured by the Jingbei Army were all there, and the Green Flag soldiers themselves were adapted from the Eight Banners, so this time, in the name of the Eight Banners, it will naturally not arouse suspicion.
In order to go into battle lightly, Li Xingzhi only ordered Yang Biao to prepare ten days of grain and grass, as well as the armor and military flags of the Eight Banners Army inlaid with red flags, and the rest of the artillery and other heavy weapons would naturally not be carried.
After crossing the Jiaolai River, Li Xingzhi ordered all departments to immediately change their clothes, set up the Wang Qi Daxu, which was inlaid with red flags in the Qing Dynasty, and drove directly to Qingzhou through Weifang.
Qingzhou is close to Yanzhou, from Weifang to Yanzhou Laiwu is more than 300 miles, the Jingbei army under the banner of Manchurian soldiers all the way into a no-man's land, on February 19 arrived at Laiwu, the gateway of Yanzhou.
Soon after Dolgon retreated, Yanzhou did not lift martial law, Feng Shouli, the county governor of Laiwu, heard that the Qing army had invaded Laiwu, and was immediately shocked, but Laiwu did not have soldiers and horses stationed at this time, Feng Shouli had to fly to Yanzhou prefect Deng Fanxi for help, and then hid in the mansion to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.
Maybe it was really the manifestation of the Buddha, the soldiers of the Eight Banners who came over this time didn't treat Laiwu City as nothing, and they didn't even bother to loot the people outside the city, they only occupied a town, and after resting for a night, they left Laiwu.
The Jingbei army passed through Laiwu and immediately entered Surabaya in Yanzhou.
Kong Jin, the magistrate of Surabaya County in the Ming Dynasty, was different from Feng Shouli, in the face of the majestic soldiers of the Eight Banners, he was not afraid, but actively mobilized the squires to donate money, organized the young and strong in the county, and went to the city to assist in the defense.
In order to resist the invincible soldiers of the Eight Banners, Kong Jin not only organized the county's youth, but also prepared a large number of lime bottles, rolling wood, stones and gold juice necessary for defending the city.
In order to encourage the confidence of the young people in the city to defend the city, Kong Jin even ate and lived at the head of Surabaya City.
The county magistrate personally guarded the city, and the young men in the city were naturally brave and ready to face the upcoming Eight Banners.
However, to Kong Jin's surprise, the soldiers of the Eight Banners did not even come to the county seat, but drove all the way straight to Qufu and Ziyang.
