Chapter 63

Yu'er said: "A few months ago, the strongman of Taimu Mountain killed my sister, and I went to avenge it a few times, but there were too many strong people, and I almost lost my life in Taimu Mountain." I once swore at my sister's grave that if I could not avenge my sister, I would not marry in this life. Bai Zizong heard this and said: "Yu'er, then I will take someone to Taimu Mountain now, kill all those dogs, and avenge your sister." Saying that, he was about to get out of bed, Yu'er smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed his body and said, "As far as your body is injured, it's better to be too peaceful, and I'll talk about it when the injury is healed." Zhong Lei also said: "Don't join in the fun."

Zizong, there are so many generals and so many soldiers and horses in Tianbo Mansion, and you still need to kill a few strongmen. Then he said to Nasha: "You husband and wife take Lei Tianfu's troops to kill all the strongmen on Taimu Mountain, don't let me go." After Nasha hurriedly said, "The last general will obey the order", she said to Yu'er, "You wait, sister, I will cut off all the heads of the strongmen on Taimu Mountain, and bring them back to pay tribute to your sister's spirit in the sky." Yu'er nodded and said, "Sister, then you should also be careful, there are still hundreds of officers and soldiers on Taimu Mountain." Nasha nodded and left the tent, and Tianxiao said to Yu'er: "General Bai is the important minister of Longqing in the future, and you are the first-class virtuous lady of Longqing in the future, and that is your own person." Whatever you two want to eat, just let people go up to the dragon ship to get it, don't be polite. The fish nodded, and after everyone said a few more words, they went their separate ways.

On the morning of the next day, a school officer who had gone to Taimu Mountain to kill the strongman returned to the camp and reported to the chief manager, saying that he had killed 427 strongmen and more than 300 officers and soldiers. However, there are several large granaries on Taimu Mountain, and General Shen Zhongzhu roughly estimated that there are about 200,000 stone of grain. I asked a few captured officers and soldiers to find out. These are all some officials of Yanping Prefecture who colluded with Guangxin, Jianning and other unscrupulous businessmen. and the robbers and pirates in Fuzhou, who have to store more than 200,000 stones of grain on Taimu Mountain every year. When floods occur in nearby cities, food prices can be raised and the country will be able to make a fortune.

The 200,000 stone grain suddenly fell from the sky, Zhong Lei was naturally very happy, so he let Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Wang Dynasty, Hu Yanxue, Guan Ziqing, and Hu Yanren. Wang Changzu, Zhenshan Tiger, Guan Kui quickly led his department to Taimu Mountain to carry grain. He also asked Long Biao and Shi Xiongmin to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers of Yanping and Jianning. In the end, he sent Zhao Zhong to lead a battalion of sailors to carefully patrol outside the water camp in Tianbo Mansion to guard against the attack of the pirates.

Let's talk about Yanping, Jianning, Tingzhou, Quanzhou. The five prefectures of Fuzhou had already sent Tanma to pay attention to such a large group of foreign officers and soldiers. It's just that there is no news from the palace yet, so although more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from the five mansions have made preparations, they have not done it for a long time. But when the 200,000 stone of grain on Taimu Mountain was robbed by foreign officers and soldiers, the officials of Yanping Mansion were a little impatient. After all, it's 200,000 stone of grain, how much silver does it cost? It will gather Guangxin, Fuzhou. More than 30,000 soldiers and horses from the three prefectures of Ji'an wanted to attack the camp of foreign officers and soldiers at night and snatch back the 200,000 stone of grain.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses of the four provinces had just arrived at a place called Putian Temple. was stopped by Long Biao and Shi Xiongmin's department. Although there were only more than 16,000 Longqing soldiers, Yang Biao's shield army and light cavalry were originally the elite of the Ming army. And Shi Xiongmin's soldiers were originally pirates who killed people without blinking, and they surrendered to Tianbo Mansion as soldiers to eat food, and the general manager treated them very much, and brought their families to the small number, which can be said to be worry-free. In addition, Shi Xiongmin can lead troops and never beat and scold his subordinates, so everyone is willing to work for Tianbo Mansion. "Brothers, the young master is behind us, and if anyone is a seed today, then don't go back to see your own family. Shi Xiongmin shouted like this, and all his soldiers felt that this battle was extraordinary, everyone worked hard, all brave, and they actually blocked the more than 30,000 Ming troops in their death.

The generals of Jianning, Tingzhou, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou saw Yanping, and Tingzhou fought with foreign officers and soldiers, mistakenly thinking that they had received the holy decree of the imperial court to fight.

At this time, Zhong Lei was dispatching troops in the big tent to see who to send to aid Shi Xiongmin and Yang Biao, and heard that about 30,000 soldiers and horses from the four prefectures of Jianning were attacking the camp, so he sent Nasha, Guan Kui, and Shen Zhongyue, the three female generals, to rush to Putian Temple to rush to Putian Temple to help Shi Xiongmin and Yang Biao. Let Shen Zhongzhu, Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Lei Tianba, Wang Dynasty, Xi Meng, Daliqi, Hu Yanxue, Hu Yanren, Wang Changzu ten generals, lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to rush out of the camp like a tide to meet them, and give local officers and soldiers a hard blow. The Longqing soldiers fought all the way, and they were all tiger and wolf divisions that could conquer and are accustomed to fighting, and the local soldiers did not practice for a long time, and this battle would be Yanping, and the soldiers and horses of the eight prefectures of Jianning were defeated by falling flowers and flowing water, and they also recruited more than 47,000 officers and soldiers, captured more than 300,000 stone of official food, more than 5,000 war horses, countless gold and silver treasures, and recruited 28,000 new soldiers.

After repelling the officers and soldiers of Yanping, Jianning, Jianning, Tingzhou, and Fuzhou, Zhong Lei already had 70,000 sailors, 35,000 horse troops, 8,000 archers, 128,000 troops, 3,000 daughter soldiers, 7,000 tiger battalions, 5,000 iron cavalry, and 6,000 Mulan troops. Therefore, he was not afraid that the Ming army would attack the camp again, and he was in a hurry to leave this place. After he consulted with a group of generals, Yingchun took all his family members off the dragon ship and began to prepare for the marriage of Bai Zizong and Yu'er. Then send Zhao Cai to Quanzhou to bring Yu'er's family to the camp, Feng Guang to find out Feng Li's whereabouts, and send Li Mo to Zhenjiang to pick up Bai Zizong's parents, relatives and friends.

Let Jiao Yi take advantage of this gap to recruit talents in the local area, which will be used by Longqing in the future. And let the thunder dragon shine on the young master's figure to make a purple and gold crown of dragon robes and create silver helmets and silver armor. Send Guan Kui, Yang Biao, Guan Ziqing, and Zhenshan Tiger Belt to pay attention to the movements of the Ming Army.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, Yu'er and Bai Zizong's parents and siblings arrived one after another, Zhong Lei hurriedly pulled out more than a dozen tents for the two of them to live, and then the family members accompanied them to eat, drink, and laugh, which was also lively, but they just hid from Bai Zizong and Yu'er, the newcomer, and gave them a surprise at that time.

Let's say that among the recruited magi, there is a Shaoxing Mansion man, who was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, white skin and elegant appearance, with a pinch of goat's whiskers on the tip of his chin, and a white-faced scholar who looks like an ambitious and talented talent. And this show is none other than Shi Guo, the first strategist of the Heavenly Demon Society, known as Sai Xuda. This Shi Guo was ordered by Long Xiao to take advantage of Zhong Lei's recruitment of talents, and brought forty or fifty people to join the Longqing people, which can be regarded as a nail planted next to the little prince.

Jiao Yi saw that Shi Guo was talented, not an ordinary person, and he was really a pillar, so he brought Shi Guo to the dragon ship to meet the chief manager, sat down in the front hall, and served tea with his own youth. After a few polite greetings, Zhong Lei went straight to the point. "Don't hide it from you, Mr. Shi, Longqing is the soldier and horse of Zhu Tianxiao, the little prince of the original Pukou Tianbo Mansion, and his brother Prince Yijun has ascended the throne as the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Li imprisoned Mo Fei's mother and daughter in the harem, and also secretly sent the general soldiers of Liangjiang to harm my young master. You are a learned person, also known as Xiao Zhuge and Saixuda. Then tell me, what should my young master do next?" If Shi Guo wants to gain a foothold, he must first be trusted and reused by this big manager, so he naturally wants to show his talents, so he said: "Big manager, I heard that the other force in Longqing has 100 generals, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and has occupied 21 cities such as Mingsi, Zhen'an, and Nanning. And Longqing here has nearly 130,000 soldiers and horses, and 50,000 sailors. If the two strands are one, then this force is not small. From a small point of view, before Emperor Shenzong issued an order to send troops to intercept and kill Longqing's soldiers and horses in the future, the Longqing people took advantage of the situation to seize another twenty or thirty cities to occupy it, and they were not afraid to fight in a wide land. ”

Zhong Lei smiled and asked: "Mr. Shi, then you see, which cities should be hit?" Shi Guo replied with a smile: "The Longqing Naval Division is still quite elite, if it can be equipped with a large-caliber artillery foreign warship, it is enough to match the Daming Naval Division, and gradually capture Leizhou, Qiongzhou, and the dozen or so islands in the Beibu Gulf, and can also attack Dongfan." When it comes to seizing the city, you can first take Heqing, Yongning, Huichuan, Wumeng, Xuzhou, Banzhou, Bijie these seven, because there are many troops, but compared with the Longqing army, that is the egg to the stone is vulnerable. After that, you can capture Dali, Duyun, Liping, Jingzhou, Moerkan, Zelagang, Qamdo, Luzhou, Jiading, Yazhou, Guanjue, Liewudong, Biligong, Chaliba, Sanzhujiezhai, Sidazang, Puranrang, Bidi, Leh, Balti This large area, then the entire southwest will also fall into the hands of Longqing people. At that time, Longqing no longer needs to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty, but the capital of the country is Dali. Then enter Myanmar from Mangshi to recover the four cities of Mubang, Manmo, Mengyang, and Mengmi. Zhong Lei smiled again, feeling that this person was indeed extraordinary, and he was glad that he had found a talent for Longqing. I only heard Shi Guo then say: "Chief, this Longqing soldier has been fighting all the way, and it can be said that the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes. Although there are many Ming troops, they were born in this peaceful and prosperous era, because there is no war, and they don't practice much on weekdays, and the result is that they are loose and collapsed, and how can they resist the courage of the Longqing soldiers. But it's not that there are no elites in the Ming army, but that the elites are all on the Great Wall to resist barbarians, so how can they care about it. The general manager, not a small overly optimistic, when the elite of the Ming army came here from the Great Wall, Longqing had already captured thirty or forty cities in the Ming Dynasty and set the capital of Dali. At that time, Longqing also had at least five or six hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and whoever killed the deer would depend on which emperor was wise and whose soldiers and horses were martial. I guess that there will be two big battles, as long as Longqing withstands it, it will be good in the future. ”

The result was that the more they talked, the more they fell in love, and they chatted until the next day, after dawn, Zhong Lei asked his beloved apprentice to invite Tianxiao, let Shi Guo bow down, and became the young master's teacher. Zhong Lei was in a super good mood, so he ordered the three armies to slaughter cattle, sheep and pigs, kill chickens, ducks and geese, wash and distribute them to each battalion to make their own delicacies, and congratulate Bai Zizong and the fish on drinking. Subsequently, Zhong Lei gave an order, let people take silver tickets, and buy the grain, cattle and sheep, pig iron, cloth, farm tools, and grain seeds in Yanping, Jianning, Tingzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Guangxin, Fuzhou, and Ji'an. At this time, Zhong Lei let the soldiers and horses of Longqing pull out of the village and go, all the way on land and water, the flag fluttering on the land route, and the thousands of ships on the waterway are in line, which is very vast.
