The 7,000 guest troops fought the honor guard of the national teacher, all the way out of Tongguan and into Henan, but never entered the city, only camped in the field, which made many officials along the way who wanted to take the opportunity to catch the national teacher very injured.

Half a month of marching, constantly adjusting and running-in, seeing the northland into winter, the weather is getting colder, and many problems are exposed in the winter march. Taking the opportunity of being stationed in Pingdingshan to renovate, he made great adjustments.

In the middle of October of the fourth year of Zhengde, the first snow in winter finally fell in Pingdingshan, Henan.

In the Chinese military camp account, Sun Zheng is reviewing the documents and signing opinions from time to time.

The Sihai system has strong financial resources, and its local branches have some money, food and materials, but in the past, they could only cope with the emergency collection of hundreds of people. The supply of 7,000 people this time has greatly tested the ability of local branches. Many problems that were not previously discovered have also been exposed.

Fortunately, this time there is a lot of luck in the account, and this thing is far better than the kill value. There is no shortage of raw materials in the space, and the winter clothes of 7,000 people can be done with just a few hundred luck points.

But this is not a way, after all, the stagnant water is also afraid of scooping with a small spoon, and it has to be brought in. That's when I got the plan to go through Pingdingshan.

"Report! The teaching camp often rises and asks to see! ”

"Enter!"

Chang Liansheng was covered in snowflakes and reported in the account: "Teacher of the country!" The training battalion was ordered to clear the Eighteen Thieves of Ziyun, successfully completed the task, and came to pay the order! ”

Sun Zheng, as always, asked his own people first: "What about the casualties?" ”

"Two people were killed in the battle, and 26 people were seriously wounded, and they have been placed in the medical camp for treatment."

"Where's the mission?"

"Sixty-five bandits were killed, the three nests of the eighteen thieves of Ziyun were all destroyed, the eighteen leaders were captured, and more than 100 minions and dozens of women, children, old and young, were being screened and placed. Eight male and female hostages were rescued, more than 100 horses and livestock were seized, and about 30,000 stones of grain and grass were seized. More than 10 boxes of gold, silver, pearls and jade and other property......"

Sun Zheng rubbed his eyebrows: "The strength of a battalion, thousands of heavily armed veterans!" Fight a nest of mountain bandits with less than 200 people, five to one! Two killed! Twenty-six lightly and seriously wounded! Have you not been on the battlefield for too long and forgotten how to fight? ”

Chang Liansheng didn't dare to speak: "It's that the last general is too light on the enemy and ignores the differences in the environment." These mountain bandits are different from ordinary soldiers, and they will sneak up after they are disarmed. Those brothers who were wounded and killed were not planted on the frontal battlefield. It was a conspiracy when the prisoners were taken in after the war! ”

Sun Zheng nodded: "So, you can't keep holding on to old habits." The environment is different, and people's hearts will also change. The previous set also had to be adjusted in time. Learn a lesson and don't let them die worthless! ”

"Yes!" Chang Liansheng asked tentatively again: "National teacher, ...... those captives?"

Sun Zheng had a headache: "After all, it's your own people, if you can't live, who wants to fall into the grass!" Let's sift it out, those who have blood on their hands will be executed on the spot! The rest of the passive bandits, and those who were taken captive to the mountains, were handed over to the local government for a few years. ”

The first snow was not large, and it was scattered for a day. The next day, the weather cleared, but the temperature was even lower.

Facing the winter sun, the Pingdingshan military camp and school field, in addition to the new army, Huashan people, temporary joining to help boxers, etc., are all here. Outside the school grounds, there were many people who rushed to hear the news, as well as the relatives of the hostages who were rescued and returned the day before yesterday.

In the sound of the loud military trumpet, Sun Zheng appeared on the Dianjiangtai in military uniform.

Zhao Yuanfu made a cameo appearance, and Yun Neili shouted, reading out the evil deeds of the eighteen thieves of Ziyun in the past, and the situation of the bandits the day before yesterday.

As a result of the verdict, 18 thieves and more than 60 accomplices who committed the most heinous crimes were beheaded and displayed to the public.

Immediately, more than 80 mountain bandits were escorted to the school grounds, lined up in a width of more than 100 meters, and it was necessary for the people in each section to see clearly.

At the sound of an order, more than eighty long knives were waved down at the same time, and more than eighty heads fell to the ground, and the blood dyed the remnants of the snow red, dazzling and thrilling.

Yue Buqun, who was watching the whole process of suppressing bandits, glanced at each other, looked back at the disciples in Huashan, and saw that these juniors were all as earth-colored as earth, trembling slightly. Especially Ling Hu Chong, the great disciple of Huashan, was stupid and had empty eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other side, Zhu Xiurong and Yue Lingshan also saw the scene of more than 80 human heads falling to the ground, and their stomachs turned over and over, and they were about to lose their temper on the spot. Fortunately, Sun Zheng had expected this possibility, and several orderly soldiers from the pure army directly escorted the two girls back to the camp to rest.

I have to say that the effect of this killing of chickens and monkeys is quite obvious.

At noon on the same day, the heads of several gangs in the Funiu Mountain area brought gifts and came to labor under the introduction of local officials. Among them, there are many people who have dealt with Yue Buqun and Cheng Buxian, and they can be regarded as some of the most prominent figures in the rivers and lakes.

Sun Zheng did not refuse to come, and gave a few words of encouragement. Tell them that sectarian gangs and the like, which are beyond the reach of the imperial court, are quite helpful in maintaining regional order. As long as you don't do evil, the court won't crack down. On the other hand, if you are like the Ziyun thieves, kidnapping tickets and robbing tickets, and treating the law as nothing, then don't blame the court for being heavy. You have also seen that the so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes are not vulnerable at all in front of the heavenly soldiers!

Yue Buqun and Cheng Buxian are very glad that they have taken the line of the national teacher, and the opportunity for the rise of Huashan has come!

The coffins of the fallen soldiers were entrusted to the Sihai Dart Bureau to be sent back to their hometowns for burial, and the wounded were placed on the spot. The chores stopped, and the army continued to move south.

Before pulling out the camp, Yue Buqun took the initiative to come to Sun Zheng and asked for Huashan disciples to be incorporated into the army, so that they could do an experience as ordinary soldiers.

After all, he is a person who practices martial arts, and his starting point is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Sun Zheng arranged them into the reconnaissance unit, that is, the night in the Ming army.

The army went all the way south, and Sun Zheng deliberately chose a relatively remote road.

In these days, the more remote the place, the more bandits. Sihai System has been in operation for several years, and these materials have long been summarized on Sun Zheng's desk.

According to this information, Sun Zheng took the opportunity of going south to do a big cleaning while training troops.

Huayin to Taizhou, a journey of nearly 3,000 miles. From the beginning of October to Taizhou, it was March of the fifth year of Zhengde.

The army experienced the climate change in the north and south, because of the strict sanitary conditions, successfully passed the so-called water and soil adaptation, and winter clothes were also changed to spring and autumn clothes.

The barracks are a collective environment, and any individual can be quickly infected.

Along the way, not only did they exercise the efficiency of marching and deployment, but also took the opportunity of suppressing bandits to let the recruits experience the cruelty of the battlefield in turn.

is not as experienced as the sect gang, the support and guidance of the masters and predecessors, and the big things have to be emphasized repeatedly. Here, killing, wounding, and even killing in action are commonplace.

When others are comfortable with all this, you will feel embarrassed if you are too nervous. Especially young people who love face, they often take the initiative to pinch off their little thoughts, strive to make themselves strong, and strive to integrate into the collective.

The battlefield is the most effective classroom, and after several battles, the recruits grow rapidly. The Huashan disciples and the two daughters of Zhu and Yue who were caught in it had already washed away the arrogance of the ten fingers that did not touch the spring water.

The city of Taizhou is not large, and with various smuggling trade along the coast, the prosperity is no less than that of Erjing.

Sun Zheng chose this place, firstly, because the commercial conditions are relatively good, and secondly, there is also the old village of the water division here, which shows that the waterway is smooth, and there is no need to bother to grab other people's territory.

The old village of the water division is about forty miles away from Taizhou City, and it was gradually abandoned and abandoned after Yongle. Sun Zheng led the army to arrive, and there was no resistance at all, and he directly settled in. Craftsmen were recruited on a large scale to expand the docks, docks and other buildings.

Along the way, Sun Zheng found an interesting situation.

The further south you go, the less influential the Four Seas system becomes. It's not that they make less money, and some sub-stations make even more money than most times in the north, but they can't have weak influence.

The reason is simple, there are many rich people in the south. In the north, a hundred taels of silver can be arrogant, and in the south, a hundred taels of silver is sometimes not enough to listen to a small song of the Oiran.

In addition to this, there is another strangeness. It is said that Sun Zheng's forces are all in the north, and those who directly benefit from him are all northerners. However, the further south he went, the higher the prestige of the national teacher among the people.

The army was stationed in the old village of Taizhou Xiaoshi, and Sun Zheng released a message to recruit workers.

Within two days, the entire camp was more than ten miles in circumference, and it was full of people who rushed in densely. A hasty glance, I'm afraid there will be no more than 30,000 or 50,000 people!

Xu Pengju, the startled governor of Taizhou, was afraid of chaos, so he hurriedly ordered the government soldiers to run to maintain order. When they arrived at the ground, they saw that under the unified arrangement of the national division army, tens of thousands of people were resettled in an orderly manner.

In other words, it only took three or five days for the national teacher to arrive in Taizhou, and a town with a scale of 50,000 people was built casually!

Sun Zheng's folk legends, the further south they go, the more outrageous they become.

With the spread of the methods of the nest bandits along the way, the people along the coast who had dealings with the Japanese bandits were like cats scratching their hearts, and those who were not deeply involved drew the line early, and those who were too deep also began to think about how to wash their hands and go ashore.

Now that the national teacher led the army to come in person, I heard that it was ordered to pacify the Japanese, and before anyone arrived, several groups of Japanese robbers had already taken the initiative to disperse and quietly returned to their hometown to be good.

The people who came to defect were too enthusiastic, and Sun Zheng was a little overwhelmed to deal with it. But looking at those ragged and skinny people kowtowing to themselves, their crumbling figures, but their eyes flashed with hope, and they really couldn't make people turn back, so they could only be placed on the spot.

While recruiting craftsmen to expand the dock, he asked Xu Fuzun to help mobilize food and materials to settle the people. Sun Zheng is rich and rich, and he never asks for things from others in vain, and if he is willing to send food, he will pay all the silver according to the price.

In fact, the four seas system of Taizhou Mansion has not saved much money, and the supply of 7,000 troops has not yet been understood, and suddenly 50,000 people need it, who can withstand this?

The little money accumulated over the years was consumed in just three or five days.

I had no choice but to ask the national teacher for help.

At the same time, the barracks welcomed a special contingent of laborers. They relieved a whole 10,000 stone of rice and grain, which really solved the urgent needs of the battalion.

The strange thing is that a full 10,000 stone meters entered the camp, but the other party didn't want a penny, just asked to see a national teacher.

Spend a few thousand taels of silver just to meet? Are Ming Dynasty fans so fanatical?

Sun Zheng is also very curious about this fan.

As soon as he saw the team's dart flag, he understood a little.
