What made Li Zhanchun curious was that the Inspection Department and the river pirates were born enemies, but in front of them, they tacitly and happily launched a robbery against thousands of people on the shore.

This shows one thing, these two groups of people know each other in private, maybe the relationship is not bad, and most of the property obtained by the river pirates who usually rob single merchant ships is sold in the inspection department.

When those river thieves saw Li Zhanchun and the others, they were also a little frightened at first, and they turned around and were about to run away, but after seeing Li Zhanchun and they didn't make any further moves, a young man with slightly dark skin but a rather handsome appearance had the courage to run to Li Zhanchun's side.

"Boss, you can just sit aside and rest, and I'll take half of the money after we finish collecting it, how about it?"

It seems that this person regards Li Zhanchun and them as officials and soldiers.

In the past, Li Zhanchun also sent people here to contact Wang Dingguo and the Wang brothers, but he didn't know them, and the people who knew them were still with Li Zhong in Anyi County.

Although the head of Dragon Thirteen's camp is orderly, not everything can be thought through.

If he was still in the lantern camp, Li Zhanchun would have joined the ranks of the river thieves to carry out a robbery carnival at this time, but after being taught by Long Thirteen, the former thieves, including Li Zhanchun, are also transforming into a real "righteous army".

In order to stabilize them, Li Zhanchun shouted, "It's okay to rob money, but it's not allowed to hurt people, you know?!"

The young man nodded hurriedly, "That's nature, we are known as the Yellow River thieves, and we have always only taken things and not hurt our lives."

Li Zhanchun nodded, thinking about the situation in Pinglu County in front of him, so he didn't stay here for too long, and after resting a little, he continued to gallop east.

Seeing that they were far away, the young man hurriedly ran to the shore and said to a big man standing on the shore near the three small boats, "Big brother, big brother, it's not good."

The man who was called the eldest brother was older than him, had a goatee, and had a somewhat similar face to the young man. Aren't the officers and soldiers gone? I'll leave him a piece of money afterwards."

It turned out that this person was the so-called "Yellow River Giant Thief" Wang Ziqi, who had obviously had dealings with the officials and the inspection department, and the young man was naturally his younger brother Wang Ziyu, and he quickly shook his head when he heard it, "Big brother, no, what do you think, are there any officers and soldiers around here, or cavalry?"

Wang Ziqi disagreed, "When I came from Pinglu County, I saw the family members of the Great Liang Soldier Dao crossing the river, and they were robbing on the shore, not far in front of them was Hong Nongwei, Hu Rugui's dog officer had at least two hundred family members, what was the surprise of driving here?"

Wang Ziyu said: "Hu Rugui's family will not cross the river, they can collect gold according to the head at the gate of Shaanzhou City, and they also call it 'help', this business has been done by his Hu family for I don't know how many years, why should he cross the river to rob?"

Wang Ziqi also seemed to think of something at this time, "Brother, what do you want to say, hurry up and say it, your brother will die in a hurry!"

Wang Ziyu looked around, "Big brother, although these people are all wearing official and military uniforms, they are all wearing wide-brimmed iron helmets, and in ordinary official soldiers, those who can have this outfit are either brocade guards or elite family members, and ordinary family members are all wearing felt hats."

Wang Ziqi blinked, "Could it be the people of Tongguanwei?"

Although the Tongguan guard in his mouth is known as the guard, it is actually the only Ming army in the hinterland of the Central Plains whose combat strength is close to the border army, which is very strong, and it is possible to send out two hundred elite soldiers at one time, not to mention that although Tongguanwei is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Henan Metropolitan Division, compared with other guards, the status is still much more transcendent.

Wang Ziyu was also a little puzzled, "Maybe, but I always feel a little strange, the officers and soldiers of Tongguanwei have also been in contact with us, because they accept the dual jurisdiction of the Henan Metropolitan Division and the Shaanxi Trilateral Governor, their status is outstanding, and the ferocity is even higher than that of the Hongnongwei and the Inspection Division."

"And the man who took the lead just now asked me not to hurt anyone, it's really strange......

Wang Ziqi was also a little puzzled, and after a while, he scolded: "Maybe the officials and soldiers don't want to cause trouble, there may be a few gentry hiding among these people

If people can arrive in Henan safely and sue Tongguanwei, it will not be easy for them to dispel."

"Maybe, brother, I always feel that something is wrong, hurry up and speed up, I finally caught such an opportunity, I can't let it go."

"Yes, brother."

......

Modi Ferry is only thirty miles away from Maojin Ferry, there is a post road along the coast, at this time almost all the crowd is crowded in the two ferries, there are very few pedestrians on the post road, so Li Zhanchun and others were able to let go of the horse and gallop forward, and it didn't take long to arrive at Pinglu County!

As soon as he saw the gray-brown city wall of Pinglu County, Li Zhanchun's heart not only jumped wildly - how good would it be if the officials in the city also abandoned the city and fled like Xie Zhou?

He thought well, the civil and military officials of Pinglu County County did abandon the city and fled, and even the regimental training in the city ran to the vicinity of Maojindu.

The group practitioners came to Maojindu, not to find a ferry to cross the river, but for the larger crowd there than Modidu who were waiting for the boat to cross the river!

They robbed the small and medium-sized merchants and ordinary people in the crowd, and they were joined by the families of Yuan Shu, the Liang soldiers who had crossed the river.

After Yuan Shu returned to Shaanzhou, after thinking about it, he felt that he could not live up to the emperor's grace, so he crossed the river with 30 of his subordinates and the boats of the inspection department.

When he came to Maojindu, he wasted all his strength and squeezed ashore, but by the time he arrived at Pinglu County, the city was already empty!

Yuan Shu was furious, and he asked his family to stop some of the group drills involved in the robbery and told them to go back to defend the city.

Waiting for others to ask who he was, Yuan Shu also played a trick, "This official is a soldier of Pingyang Mansion, holding the sword of Shang Fang, and he can be killed!"

At this time, it is not ten years after Chongzhen, who has not completely collapsed, ordinary people are still quite afraid of senior civil officials, under the coercion of Yuan Shu, the county order, the canonical history, the general practice and most of the regimental training followed him back to the county seat, and a small number of regimental trainers did not listen to him and continued to rob on the dock.

And the Maojindu Inspection Division also continues to ferry people according to the price code of one or two people, of course, look at this posture, this price code will soon rise to two or two.

Originally, there were thirty family members who followed Yuan Shu, and at this time, ten of them followed Yuan Shu back to the city, but the other twenty were placed in Maojindu by Yuan Shu, and the beautiful name was "maintain the overall situation, let those group exercises not go too far".

Yuan Shu himself is indeed a Qing official, but it does not mean that his family is the same, his thirty family members are all the soldiers of Dongjiang Town who were sheltered by his father Yuan Keli when he was the governor of Denglai, and they are very fierce, although the Yuan family has never given them two taels of silver per month, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the wealth at their fingertips.

So, as soon as they returned to the dock, these family members joined the ranks of robbery, and finally stopped robbing at all, forcing those scoundrel-born regimental drills to give them some after robbing.

After all, they are scoundrels, they are not like the family members who are still a little shrunken, and in the end, they saw some beautiful women and began to flirt, looking at the people who did not have too many family members around them, they simply grabbed the side, so the Maojin Ferry Wharf, which was already a little restless, suddenly became completely noisy.

In order to avoid the robbery of the group practitioners, all the people desperately squeezed in the direction of the dock, and the people standing at the front could no longer hold on at this time, "plop", "plop", many people were squeezed down the Yellow River!

For a while, the shouts of killing, angry reprimands, and cries filled the entire dock, but Yuan Shu saw it on the city wall, and only a flash of melancholy flashed, and then it returned to normal.

The "people", at this time, even if they have a little money, they are just "ants" who can walk decently.

After all, this world is ruled by "scholars and kings", not the world of ants, in ordinary times, scholars may show a gentle side to ants, but now it is a troubled time!

This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Zhanchun arrived!

As soon as Li Zhanchun arrived, he understood that the city was still under the control of the Ming army, but after all, he was considered a "cunning person" by Long Shisan, and after learning about the situation in the city from the mouth of a regimental trainer he caught casually, he instantly had an idea.

He dismounted half of his cavalry, about a hundred, and then in groups of ten, with swords in front and behind with bows and arrows, and shouted, "The governor of the three sides, the town of Zhongying, will be here, and the robbery shall cease at once!"

When those group drills heard this, they hurriedly stopped, and some of them handed the looted property to Li Zhanchun, but they were all killed by them!

Yuan Shu's family ignored this, and they continued to rob frantically until the cavalry of the small strong brigade killed them.

In fact, if these Dongjiang Town family members get together, Li Zhanchun's subordinates may not be opponents, but since he trained with Long Thirteen, Li Zhanchun has also developed the habit of "fighting in formation under any circumstances".

As a result, a small number of Yuan Shu family members who did not take them seriously were killed on the spot!

When the family members realized that something was wrong and gathered together to rush over to meet the battle, Li Zhanchun personally came over with the cavalry!

Yuan Shu's family wanted to rob on a large scale, but obviously they couldn't ride horses, so the situation was simple.

"As an officer and a regiment, you dare to rob innocent people in broad daylight, and I, the general of Zhongying Town under the command of the governor of the three sides, will eliminate the harm for the people today, and there will be no mercy!"

Hong Chengchou's subordinates had a general named Bai An, Li Zhanchun made a name nonsense, which frightened those family members at once, and then looked at the other family members who had died, and the last one knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, asking for forgiveness from "General Bai".

Someone maintained order, and the people were no longer all crowded on the docks, and gradually dispersed again.

Li Zhanchun rode to maintain order on the dock, and he walked to the county seat with another horseman, the captured regimental training, and the family members.

This scene just now, Yuan Shu saw it clearly on the city wall, Pinglu County was only a few hundred meters away from the wharf, and the shouts of Hui Dengxiang just now also reached Yuan Shu's ears.

For a moment, Yuan Shu's face turned a little ashamed.

After a while, he still took a fancy to Li Zhanchun's two hundred horsemen, "Hong Chengchou's family can still reach here, it seems that at least Pingyang Mansion has not yet fallen, if I understand this white light, how good would it be for him to cooperate with us to guard the county seat?"

But if you want these people to honestly assist him in defending the city, it will not be possible if you don't show sincerity, and in the end, Yuan Shu came to the outside of the city with the county order and the rest of the family, and at this time, Li Zhanchun escorted those family members and group training also happened to walk to the city gate.

Listening to Yuan Shu's request, Li Zhanchun was noncommittal, and he said loudly: "The thief is thriving, can a mere Pinglu county town resist it?"

Yuan Shu said: "There are still more than 200 elite regiments in the city, and there are hundreds of young people who are willing to stay......

Li Zhanchun nodded, and he returned to the dock again to persuade those people to return to the city.
