At the beginning of March, it rained in Quang Ninh, and then the sun shone brightly.

On both sides of the platform, the strong soldiers beat the war drums.

Knock knock knock...... The sound of the drums fell into the ears of every soldier who was about to go on the march.

Yang Chengying, who was dressed in the official uniform of the imperial gift, led Hu Liangfu, the eunuch of the prison army, Cui Chengxiu, the civil officer of the prison army, and others to appear on the general platform.

Meng Qiaofang led the representatives of the soldiers of the First Division to stand under the general's platform, quiet as a mountain.

The beating of the drums stopped.

Yang Chengying faced the soldiers and said loudly: "Soldiers, you will represent the Liaodong Army on an expedition to Shandong to quell the rebellion there."

Shandong is not as good as Liaodong, and the local people have been brutalized by the rebels and are hostile to us.

We must be mentally prepared for this, and we must not forget the discipline of the Liaodong Army because of this. ”

After that, he turned his head and glanced at Bao Chengxian.

Bao Chengxian was in charge of the rewards and punishments of the soldiers, and immediately stepped forward, took out the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings of the Liaodong Army written on paper, and read them aloud.

"Hearing the drum does not advance, smelling the gold does not retreat, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded ......"

Every sound was clearly heard in the ears of the soldiers' representatives.

Other soldiers who did not participate in the swearing-in meeting were read out in public by other generals appointed by Bao Chengxian.

In fact, every soldier has memorized these military discipline regulations by heart.

Reading out the 17 prohibitions and 54 slashes in public is to follow the procedure and increase the sense of solemnity.

Privately, the soldiers in charge of propaganda have long since reorganized military discipline into a slip of the tongue.

After Bao Chengxian finished reading and retreated, Yang Chengying stepped forward.

Behind him, two brand-new flags appeared.

In the past, the flags were all composed of the national name, the official position and surname of the general, etc., but these two flags did not have these.

One of the poles has a line of small words in the direction of the flagpole: Daming Liaodong Town.

On the left side of the small characters, there are the three words of Dou Da - the first division.

The other flag has only two words - wolf teeth!

"You were originally the people of the Ming Dynasty, and you suffered heavy losses to defend against the Tartars. Now that you have been reborn, you will take the honor of the Liaodong Army on an expedition. ”

Yang Chengying said loudly: "Today, these two flags are given to you, I hope you will cherish the honor and bring peace to the people of Shandong!" ”

"Flag!" Zu Zehong shouted at the top of his voice.

Meng Qiaofang and Ma Guangyuan stepped forward.

According to what they had discussed in advance, when they stepped on the platform, the two turned around and shouted at the same time: "Kill the enemy, make meritorious service!" ”

"Kill the enemy, make meritorious service!"

The other soldiers shouted along.

"Kill the enemy, make meritorious service!"

The soldiers who didn't attend the meeting also shouted.

In the shouting, Yang Chengying personally gave the two flags to Meng Qiaofang and Ma Guangyuan respectively.

Yang Chengying handed over the holy decree to Meng Qiaofang again: "You were originally a general in the Guannei, you should know what happened there." As long as it doesn't violate military discipline, I just don't hear anything else. ”

"Xie Dashuai trusts, and the general will not disgrace his mission."

Meng Qiaofang held the holy decree in his left hand and walked down the platform with the flag in his right hand.

Ma Guangyuan followed behind him, waved the flag twice, and walked off the platform amid the cheers of the soldiers.

Meng Qiaofang handed over the flag to the guard, and the holy decree was handed over to the prison guard Liu Zhilun.

Then, together with Chief of Staff Huo Weihua and others, he bowed to the general's platform.

The crowd got on their horses.

"All of them, take a break, stand upright, turn left!

Let's go! ”

With Meng Qiaofang's order, the soldiers walked in front of the point and the stage in a uniform manner, and rushed to the distance.

It is impossible for a large army to march like this.

After leaving the platform, the participating soldiers took off their armor and returned to their original troops.

The sentinels were in front, the cavalry regiments were on the left and right flanks, and the infantry regiments were guarding the artillery regiments.

20,000 soldiers and civilians carried them on their shoulders, operated the carriage, and followed behind.

The procession was huge, which caused many people to watch on the side of the road.

"Is this the legendary First Division of the Liaodong Army? It's scary, and there are a lot of firearms. ”

"yes. I heard that there were rebels in Shandong, and they went to exterminate them. ”

"Alas, if a soldier can eat and eat, who is willing to rebel against the imperial court, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans."

"This world is very chaotic, and some people are simply for their own ambitions."

"Alas, I hope it doesn't burn to Liaodong. We finally lived a peaceful life and didn't want to flee again. ”

"Don't be afraid, there is a great commander to protect us. You see, how many years have Golden State been peaceful. ”

"Heaven willing, they can come back safely."

The people talked a lot, and at last they all knelt down and prayed for the soldiers.

The soldiers had ears and heard the talk of the people; And they all had long eyes, and they saw the people bowing down. A sense of pride surged into my heart.

It was as if their steps had become lighter, and they were moving faster than before.

Xie Sanbin is a native of Yinxian County, Zhejiang, a Jinshi in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and has been a county magistrate in Jiading.

Hearing that Li Jiucheng and others were in turmoil in Shandong and besieged Laizhou, he wrote to the imperial court and begged the imperial court to allow him to recruit soldiers and enter Shandong to quell the rebellion.

In Songshuli, his most famous sentence: success lies in people.

Chongzhen still knew how many catties and taels he had, and he didn't agree. However, he was appointed as the governor of Shandong, and put down the rebellion together with Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Liaodong Army.

This made Xie Sanbin crazy.

As a rule, temporary official positions, such as governors, should be established to coordinate the overall situation.

How to make him responsible with Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

That's not!

Do you still need to do anything about counterinsurgency?

With doubts and apprehension, Xie Sanbin arrived in Changyi. arrested You Shihun and Liu Guozhu, reprimanded Deng Xi, and asked him to defend the city for his crimes.

Hearing that the Liaodong Army had arrived in Dezhou in the second half of the year and was heading towards Qingzhou, he rushed to Qingzhou with a few more personal soldiers.

Outside Linzi, he directly collided with the sentry cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

The march of the army in an unfamiliar area emphasizes the role of sentinels in probing intelligence.

The reconnaissance platoons directly under each regiment collectively took the initiative and made inquiries in all directions.

Xie Sanbin bumped into a squad in the reconnaissance platoon of the First Infantry Corps.

"Are you Liaodong Army?"

Xie Sanbin saw that the other party was strong and well-armed, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"Exactly, who are you?"

The Sentinel replied as he winked at his companion.

The two companions held down the hilt of the Yanling knife at their waists, fully guarded.

One of his companions removed the crossbow hanging from his horse, loaded it with arrows, and looked around.

"In Xiashan Mountain, Lord Xie, you quickly take me to see the guardian eunuch Gao Gonggong of the Liaodong Army."

In the context of using literature to control martial arts, Xie Sanbin set up a score.

"Huh...... I don't know any bullshit Lord Xie! Is there a letter to prevent seals, hand it over and see. The sentry squad leader raised his head.

At this time, the crossbow rider spotted the flag in the distance behind him.

"Squad leader, the three children sent a flag and asked why we didn't move forward?"

"Tell him that he has met someone who claims to be a high-ranking official of the imperial court."

"Yes."

The answer was the sentry rider holding the hilt of the sword.

He pulled out the two small flags around his waist and replied to the news of the three children in the flag language.

Of course, it can't be so detailed, and the flag language is only four words - meet people, harmless.

The other party received the message and turned around to send it to the person further back.
