At the same time as asking for Wang Hui, the remnants of the Dongjiang Army, who were adrift in the Liaohai Sea and swore not to surrender, were all moved after receiving the news that the two Tatar chieftains in Laiden Town wanted to reorganize the Dongjiang River.

They either asked the Leyden Town Sailor to send a boat master to contact them, or they took the sea route by boat.

By the end of March, there were more than 300 troops from Pan Xuezhong's headquarters of the Haiyang Island Metropolitan Division, 700 troops from Shen Yongzhen's garrison on Wangjia Island, 600 troops from Ouyang Sheng's headquarters of the guerrilla Ouyang Sheng on Huangcheng Island, and 300 troops from Zhang Wu's headquarters on Mayang Island.

After these leaders were all heroic martyrs, Pan Xuezhong's father Pan Yidao was originally a general under Mao Wenlong, and he repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the battles of Gaizhou and Haizhou in the Dongjiang Army during the Apocalypse, and then martyred in the battle of Niu Mao Village in Hetuala, which bought precious time for the main force of the Dongjiang Army to burn down the nest of the old slave.

Mao Wenlong was grateful for Pan Yidao's loyalty, so Pan Xuezhong was selected as a personal soldier, and added him as the capital division, when Phi Island was broken by the Qing army, Pan Xuezhong was patrolling the area of Ocean Island, so he survived.

Shen Yongzhen is the nephew of Shen Shikui, the last chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, known for his bravery, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the last attack of the Dongjiang Army on the Qing army, broke through the Sugu Li Village, the gateway of Hetuala, and captured the pseudo-Qing Niu Lu Zhenjian Mountain, after the Phi Island was breached, Shen Yongzhen and the Dongyu general Wu Erge and Kong Youde General Hong Wenkui, and then because he was outnumbered, he took advantage of the chaos to escape from Phi Island with a boat division, turned his head to Wangjia Island, he did not want to return to the Ming Dynasty, and became a bandit on Wangjia Island.

Ouyang Sheng was the commander of the original Leiden governor Sun Yuanhua's personal army, after Kong Youde's rebellion, Sun Yuanhua was killed by the Ming court, Ouyang Sheng did not dare to stay in Leiden, and did not go to the Qing court to be a traitor, so he took his family to hide on Huangcheng Island, relying on fishing and robbery to barely support.

Zhang Wu of Mayang Island is the brother of Zhang Pan, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, after the Shuangdao Incident, he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty with his own army and horses, and became a pirate.

To tell the truth, these remnants of the Dongjiang Army were still a little resistant to returning to Leiden, for fear that this was a trick of the Ming court, luring themselves to the mainland, and then executing themselves and their subordinates under the pretext.

Because those princes in the court didn't care how many feats they had made, and even compared them to rebellion for their own selfishness.

However, after they heard that Li Dashuai in Laiden Town was also born as a thief, and even dared to put the governor of Shandong and the relatives of the imperial court under house arrest, their vigilance against the Jingbei Army was greatly reduced.

Moreover, they live on islands, with no food and fresh water to replenish, no weapons and military uniforms, and sooner or later they will be trapped and die on the vast sea.

As the saying goes, the more birds fly south, and the fox dies and the first hill, since the Jingbei army has given them hope, then they will naturally not give up this hope of being able to return to the mainland.

Li Xingzhi was also overjoyed after receiving that nearly 3,000 remnants of the Dongjiang Army had arrived in Dengzhou, and these soldiers were all warriors who had survived a hundred battles in Liaodong and Dongyu, and if they were added to the army, it would be equivalent to giving thousands of elite veterans to the Jingbei Army.

Li Xingzhi is also full of admiration for these soldiers who have been exiled to the island and can still be unswerving.

In Li Xingzhi's view, no matter how unbearable the Ming court is, it can't be a reason for you to be a traitor, let alone an excuse for you to participate in the massacre of thousands of Han people.

Pan Xuezhong, Shen Yongzhen, Ouyang Sheng, and Zhang Wu are the representatives of the backbone of the Han people in this era.

Due to the imminent public sacrifice of Danya Mountain, Li Xingzhi left Wang Zhong to lead the second town to continue to defend Laizhou, and arranged a defense line on the first line of the Jiaolai River, and the rest of the towns and green flag soldiers all went to Dengzhou to participate in the public sacrifice ceremony.

In early April, on the second day of Li Xingzhi's arrival in Penglai, Li Xingzhi prepared to inspect the various units of the Dongjiang Army that had been resting in the Dengzhou barracks, and the reason for this was also to appease the remnants of the Dongjiang Army.

Dengzhou Tian Hengshan Military Camp.

"Fool Pan, if it weren't for your rammer writing a letter asking us to lead the army to Dengzhou, how could our brothers be trapped in this broken place, now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, do you know how many black armor troops have been stationed in Dengzhou these days?"

Shen Yongzhen, the garrison of Wangjiadao, raised the wine bowl in his hand and poured two sips, looking at Pan Xuezhong, who was holding a chicken leg and gnawing wildly, with a resentful expression.

"There is wine today and drunk today, Shen Daring, look at your cowardice, the Jingbei Army wants to deal with us, after we go ashore, why don't you do it, and give us armor and weapons, and greet us with good wine and meat."

Pan Xuezhong wiped the grease on his mouth with his sleeve nonchalantly, glanced at Shen Yongzhen with disdain, and then picked up the wine bowl and drank wildly.

Ouyang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said: "I think what Fool Pan said is right, this Jingbei Army wants to deal with us, why wait until now, we heard that this Peng Laibo is a ruthless person, since joining the army, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 Tartars he has killed, he wants to deal with us, can he wait until now?" ”

Shen Yongzhen said a little depressedly: "We are really not down-to-earth in our hearts, you said that we are here, we eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and don't give us a fucking task, you don't know, I saw it clearly on the mountain today, those black armor soldiers are really desperate to train, there are at least more than 100 soldiers who are beaten on the board, and then they have to run around the mountain, if they are left alone, there will be no food at noon." ”

Zhang Wu frowned, and said: "Don't be foolish, according to my estimate, this Li Dashuai is going to wait until he has worshiped Mao Dashuai, and then arrange for us, I, Zhang Wu, am a person who admits death, if he really rehabilitates our Mao Dashuai, what if we sell our lives to him?" ”

Zhang Wu is the younger brother of Zhang Pan, a close confidant of Mao Wenlong, among the remnants of the Dongjiang Army, the oldest and most authoritative in speaking, he opened his mouth, and the generals naturally won't say anything anymore.

"Li Dashuai has arrived!"

While everyone was chatting, the roll call of the soldiers resounded outside the camp.

Zhang Wu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly put down the wine bowl, and took Pan Xuezhong out of the big tent.

"The last generals Zhang Wu, Pan Xuezhong, Shen Yongzhen, and Ouyang Sheng have seen Li Dashuai!"

Out of the big tent, Zhang Wu and the others saw dozens of ironclad soldiers surrounding a military general dressed in mountain armor rushing to the big tent, knowing that this was Li Xingzhi of Leiden Town, Li Dashuai arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Li Xingzhi hurriedly stepped forward, helped up Zhang Wu, who was the leader, and said: "Generals, please get up quickly, Leiden Caochuang, this handsome man is busy with things, and he can't go to Dengzhou to meet you, please also ask you Haihan!" ”

Seeing that Li Xingzhi was so easy-going, Zhang Wu, Pan Xuezhong and others also let go of the burden in their hearts a lot, and they were ordered to stand up one by one.

"Ben Shuai came in a hurry, why don't you invite Ben Shuai in for a drink?"

Li Xingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Wu and the others, and saw that although their faces were black and yellow, and they were full of alcohol, they still looked very energetic, and it was obvious that life on the island had not crushed their fighting spirit.
