"Princess, there is a reason why our Leyden soldiers wear black armor, the last time Gaoyang won a big victory, our army took advantage of the night to sneak attack the Abatai camp, and the soldiers wore black armor, which can obviously effectively confuse the enemy."

The reason for Shanghei, Li Xingzhi couldn't say it explicitly to distinguish the Ming army, so he had to find an excuse to cover up the past.

Wang Chengen's first jaw said yes.

Xue Guoguan praised: "The famous generals of the ancients, mountains, rivers, grass and trees can be soldiers, the battle of Li Shuai Gaoyang, is to use the night as a cover, the soldiers are dressed in black armor, and they are killed in front of the Dongyu village, and the Dongyu have not noticed, this time Laizhou is a great victory, but also to the river as a pool, to the mountain as a city, with a mere 3,000 troops to break the 40,000 people in the east, although Bai Qi, Wu Mu can not reach also. ”

Li Xingzhi hurriedly said: "The elder of the pavilion praised it, and Li Mou also had a shallow opinion, where can he be compared with King Yue." ”

Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the prison army, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he took out a small book about a few inches thick from his arms, and instructed the maid to take pen and ink, and began to record, "Penglaibo has a saying, when you enter the army at night, and the soldiers are in front of the black armor, the thief can't recognize it." ”

"Penglaibo, the cavalry is still green, is it to facilitate the march in the woods and grasslands?"

Wang Chengen seemed to know the reason why the cavalry wore green armor.

Xue Guoguan had a smile on his face, and Zhang Cheng looked at Li Xingzhi with a smile.

"Don't you think the Manchurian soldiers are very happy with a green pointed helmet?"

Li Xingzhi felt a little helpless that Wang Chengen could draw inferences from one another, so a green hat on his head turned a blind eye.

After the review, Qian Tianxi accompanied Xue Guoguan, Wang Chengen, and others to inspect the construction of the Ziyang Reservoir and the farmland and cement official road in the Jiaolai Plain.

Of course, they didn't ask about the whereabouts of the money and grain in the Dewang Mansion, because only he could count how much silver Li Xingzhi had gotten, and he could give hundreds of thousands of taels for local resettlement of the people, which was already a good deed.

Wang Chengen and others came and went quickly, stayed in Laizhou for three days, and returned to Beijing impatiently on the fourth day.

Liu Lishun returned to Jinan City, after all, Ni Pet was in turmoil, and there were many local officials killed and wounded, and even Yan Jizu's whereabouts were unknown, and he had to go to the imperial court to arrange the restoration of Jinan Mansion.

The most eye-catching is Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the supervising army, except for Wang Zhong after taking a set of management regulations for the Jingbei Army, he never bothered Li Xingzhi again, as a eunuch with ideals, learning Penglaibo's method of using troops is a major event in life.

As for the king of De, just explain it to his father-in-law casually, if he has time to go to Dengzhou, it is better to combine theory with practice and see how Li Dashuai trains his troops.

On the third day of Xue Guoguan's departure, Li Youcai and Chen Wen hurried from Dengzhou to Laizhou, accompanied by more than 20 soldiers selected by Chen Wen from the first town.

The five headed by Li Xingzhi are recognized by Li Xingzhi, and it is in Gaoyang that several ruffians and scoundrels who follow him to mingle with the rivers and lakes, whose names are Tao Wu, Zhao Ergou, He Jinyin, Guo Daorong, and Chen De.

Li Youcai said with a smile: "Dashuai, these brothers are all literate, and they are old men who followed Dashuai, and they are definitely trustworthy in terms of loyalty." ”

Li Xingzhi groaned: "How does your Military Intelligence Department operate, and what regulations do you have?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, please take a look!"

Chen Wen took out a question book from his sleeve pocket and sent it to Li Xingzhi.

Li Xingzhi opened it and was very satisfied, this charter clearly demarcates the scope of work of all people, as well as the relevant responsibilities, and the informant and the principal must have a one-line contact, so as not to paralyze the entire intelligence system once the information leaks.

For example, He Jinyin is in charge of the southern capital, there are a total of five directors, and these directors must not know each other according to the system, and they are not subordinate to each other.

There is the corresponding information, which is sorted out by the principal and then sent to Laizhou in the form of code, which is summarized by He Jinyin.

In addition, because Li Xingzhi said that he thought it was a code and a way to transmit information, Li Youcai also put forward suggestions for improvement, that is, these versions on the market are different, and in order to prevent errors and omissions, it is necessary to unify the version, and it is best to be printed by Leiden Town.

As for the intelligence officers who went to Shangluoshan Li Zicheng and Gucheng Zhang Xianzhong, they didn't need such trouble for the time being.

In Li Xingzhi's view, the entry of the Eastern captives into the customs, the official army was crushed for thousands of miles, and millions of people in Gyeonggi and Shandong died under the butcher's knife of the Eastern captives.

Of course, Li Xingzhi's purpose is not to uproot the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there is no owner in the sea, once the Eastern Captives enter the Central Plains, the killing will only be more serious, all he wants to do is to control the center of the Ming Dynasty by the Jingbei Military Marshal's Mansion, and then integrate the forces that can be integrated to stabilize the defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty first, or solve the puppet Qing court once and for all.

However, the Ming court has been in the country for three hundred years, and there are still many loyal ministers and famous generals, especially Sun Chuanting's Qin army, because of the long-term battle with the Liukou, its combat power is not much better than that of the Eastern Emperor.

Historically, it was also the Battle of Songjin that the main force of the Qin army was lost, which led to Sun Chuanting's defeat at Tongguan, and it was precisely because the Qin army under Sun Chuanting was a newly recruited soldier.

At that time, Sun Chuanting had repeatedly played Emperor Chongzhen, "The soldiers are newly recruited, and they are unbearable!" ”

The so-called hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, to control the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to send the last living force of the Ming Dynasty to the battlefield, so that the Jingbei Army can justifiably control the city of Beijing in the name of entering the defense of the Beijing Division.

Tao Wu and Zhao Ergou's task was to quickly pull up the pole in Shaanxi and Hubei, and the momentum should be as loud as possible, so as to attract the attention of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

In the original history, Zhang Xianzhong re-raised the banner of righteousness in Gucheng in May, and Li Zicheng also quickly attacked Shangluo Mountain after receiving the news of the Eight Kings uprising.

Li Xingzhi believed that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who were eager to expand their strength, would definitely incorporate the rebel army of Tao Wu and Zhao Ergou.

"The two of you will change the name to Ben Shuai in the future, just call it the Sky Turning Dragon and the Tiger, Tao Wu, you take a brother to Xunyang Mountain, be a mountain king, remember to take out the majesty of our Li Jiashan, show momentum, and let Zhang Xianzhong take the initiative to contact you on that dog day, Zhao Ergou, you are the same, the news of Zhang Xianzhong's incident will spread to Shaanxi, and you will bring the displaced people to move closer to Shangluo Mountain."

"Dashuai, what are we going to do after we vote for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?"

Tao Wu and Zhao Erniu are a little depressed, both of them are now deputy officers in the army, and the Jingbei Army now wants soldiers and soldiers, money and money, and goes to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, what is this called?

"Eighteen sons, main artifact! Zhao Erniu, after Li Zicheng's cowardly melon comes out of the mountain, you will spread such news in his army, Tao Wu, your task is to marry Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Zhang Dingguo. ”

Li Xingzhi opened his mouth slowly, he just wanted Li Zicheng, the Yongchang Emperor, to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
