Ling Jingyang's move made Lu Sheng and the landlord behind him ecstatic, but the other landlords and squires were confused, this is to give Ling Jingyang a gift, why was the militia incorporated?

Ling Jingyang successfully divided the forces of the militia in Yingshan County, drank some more wine, and asked Wang Mu to come over to entertain him, he returned to the governor's mansion with the guards, and asked the two ladies if they could get used to life in Jiangnan.

Wang Mu's old fritters in the officialdom said that a group of old and young landlords and squires in Yingshan County were confused at the banquet, and the banquet lasted until midnight.

Before the banquet ended, Lu Sheng and everyone clasped their fists and said: "Everyone, I have also heard the order of the Governor of Lingdu, and tomorrow I invite all the militia groups to assemble at Li Yuanwai's mansion. ”

Li Yuanwai also talked to everyone, full of listening to the orders of the overseer, and asked everyone not to hurt the peace, and everyone had no choice.

On the morning of the next day, the militia groups from all over the country gathered at Li Yuanwai's mansion, but the number was only more than 2,000 people, most of whom were still old, young, sick and disabled, and only Li Yuanwai and Lu Sheng led the 900 militia groups to see it.

Lu was so angry that his mouth was crooked, but Li Yuanwai asked him not to be angry, and quickly organized these militia groups into a team, he was so enthusiastic and active because Ling Jingyang asked Xu Sheng to send him a secret order last night, appointing Li Yuanwai as the magistrate of Yingshan County, responsible for the logistics of the attack on Anlu County.

This is a fat difference, Li Yuanwai was proud in his heart, he moved out all the 3,000 stone grain and grass at home as the grain and grass for the official army to attack Anlu County.

Lu Sheng also Zhaohui was in Suizhou to do the demeanor of a thousand generals, with 900 militia groups under his command, eat other militia groups, and form an armed group of more than 3,000 people's regiments, he took this army to Niuxin Village in the north of Yingshan County to assemble.

In order to better reorganize the army, Ling Jingyang deliberately set up a military camp in Niuxin Village, where the Iron Fist Army practiced, and Ling Jingyang specially gave Shi Tie and Gao Ding a top-secret mission, which was to attack Yingshan County in the south and eat the militia after the battle.

Shi Tie felt that Ling Jingyang was a little unauthentic in doing this, but Ling Jingyang told him that only with unified command could he concentrate his forces to fight against the Qing army.

Shi Tie asked him again how to arrange the generals at all levels of the militia group?

Ling Jingyang thought about it, it is definitely not possible to kill it, but if you don't kill this group of people, this group of people has always been the head snake in Anlu County, and finally he and Shi Tie said: "Scatter all the armies, and wait for He Zhen to pacify Huangzhou Mansion, and send them all to Huangzhou Mansion." ”

Shi Tie felt that this method was good, so after Lu Sheng entered the barracks with the militia group, he was very enthusiastic, and Lu Sheng was also a little embarrassed, and under the grand reception of Shi Tie and Gao Ding, he quickly got along with them.

Ling Jingyang decided to send troops on March 1, at this time there were still seven days before March 1, Ling Jingyang ordered the troops to suppress the enemy, and many militia groups under the command of landlords did not go to Lu Sheng to report, even if they did, they let a group of old and young sick and disabled.

This group of people is two-faced and three-stabbed, Ling Jingyang naturally will not tolerate it, he ordered the Iron Fist Legion, the artillery battalion, and Lu Sheng to go to various places to be recruited.

Lu Sheng was appointed as the chief soldier of the People's League, his tail was raised to the sky, Li Yuanwai gradually lost his eyes, Li Yuanwai was not stupid, he was appointed as the magistrate of Yingshan County, what is a regiment training chief soldier?

The two gradually parted ways, but Lu Sheng took 3,000 militia groups equipped with swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and rushed to various mansions and cottages in anger, incorporating all the smaller militia groups, and the larger militia groups were brought into play by the artillery battalion and the Iron Fist Legion.

Within three days, the large and small militia groups in Yingshan County were co-opted, in order to appease the anger of the landlords and squires who were co-opted, Ling Jingyang appointed them as officials in Yingshan County, and the landlords and squires with the smallest power were mixed into the seven-grade officials.

But there are too many landlords and squires in this group, Ling Jingyang looked at Suizhou again, Suizhou has long been full of holes, Ling Jingyang asked Zhang Jinyan to go to Suizhou as the governor, Mi Shengguang to serve as the governor of Suizhou, let Mi Shengguang look at Zhang Jinyan, lest he surrender again, and took some of the landlords and squires to Suizhou as low-level officials.

After pacifying the armed forces in Yingshan County, Ling Jingyang ordered Li Rufeng's troops, the Iron Fist Army, the artillery battalion, and the four troops of the left wing army to attack Anlu County.

If the attack on Anlu County is blocked, the front line will be increased in time

aid, and at the same time let the Special Bureau support He Zhen's department, after all, the strength of He Zhen's army is a little insufficient in Huangzhou Mansion.

Fang Xiaoyan led the main force of the Special Bureau into Huangzhou Mansion to provide first-hand information for He Zhen, and He Zhen also gradually set up a pillar in Huangzhou Mansion, waiting for Ling Jingyang to pacify De'an Mansion and eliminate the armed separatist forces in Huangzhou Mansion.

Ling Jingyang and Wang Mu and others in Yingshan County worked hard to restore people's livelihood and social order, under his and Wang Mu's efforts, Yingshan County gradually regained its vitality, the land was reclaimed, and the Ming army attacking Anlu County was also like a bamboo, along the way the Anlu County militia either surrendered or dispersed, and the Ming army hit Anlu County in one go.

The main squire in the city was afraid of death, did not dare to fight with the Ming army, and refused to go out of the city to surrender, the Ming army outside the city along the way to the surrender militia into the team, at this time there were more than 20,000 Ming army soldiers under the city, only more than 5,000 people in the city, in the face of the intimidation of the Ming army outside the city, Anlu County elected a representative, asked for peace with the Ming army.

Li Rufeng, as the commander-in-chief of this attack on Anlu County, was so angry that he laughed when he heard that peace was going to be negotiated in the city.

He and the representative of Anlu County said: "We are the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and we are waiting to follow the puppet dynasty, and we still have the face to negotiate peace?" ”

He demanded that Anlu County immediately open the city gate to welcome the officials and soldiers into the city, and those who resisted the officials and soldiers would be killed.

The soldiers and civilians of Anlu County could not open the city gate, they were waiting for reinforcements from the Hongguang Department of Hanyang, and Hanyang and other southern prefectures and counties of De'an Province were supported by Jin Sheng, the leader of the rebel army, and Jin Sheng ordered his protégé Jiang Tianyi to lead the army to come to support, Jiang Tianyi led the army from Nanzhili to the east into Jiangxi, and then from Jiangxi into Huguang.

"Becoming an Immortal"

The rebels are still on their way, and they will not be able to reach Anlu County for a while, and even if they reach Hanyang, it will take several days.

Anlu County is isolated, to see the Ming army began to bombard the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city are also divided into two factions, one faction requires the surrender of the Ming army outside the city, anyway, the Ming army outside the city is also an official army, but also the army of the imperial court, the other faction resolutely resists to the end, they threaten that Emperor Hongguang's reinforcements are about to arrive, why should they serve the two masters?

There was a lot of noise in the city, Li Rufeng finally couldn't bear it, and ordered the bombardment of the city wall, the city wall of Anlu County was not strong, and the old steamed bun ordered the gunner to carry out twenty shells of rapid fire, smashing the wall of Anlu County into potholes, the effect was very explosive, but the city wall was never knocked down.
