Chapter 199 Yang Wenyue moved to Yancheng, and Song Xiance returned from his mission

Seeing Liu Sheng break away from the cavalry team dozens of steps and greet him alone, Yuan Shi admired him secretly and hurriedly left the cavalry team to greet him.

The two met nearly a hundred steps away from each other's team.

Yuan Shizhong dismounted, held his fists and bowed, "Yuan Shizhong pays homage to Marshal Liu!"

"Hahaha," Liu Sheng laughed loudly and got off his horse, also clasping his fists, "I have heard about Yuan Tou Ling for a long time. I wanted to meet him last year, and today I finally got my wish!"

Yuan Shizhong said: "I didn't expect that a mere name could get into the ears of Marshal Liu."

Liu Sheng came over and grabbed Yuan Shizhong's left hand, and led the horse together towards the camp.

"I don't know how many rebel armies have risen and fallen in the world over the years, but as far as I know so far, the only ones who are truly worthy of the word 'righteousness' are our Wei tribe and Yuan leader's tribe.

Other rebel armies may have killed corrupt officials, evil gentry and landlords, but they killed more innocent people.

When I heard that there was a small Yuan camp in the east of Henan Province, which, like our own army, only punished corrupt officials, evil gentry and bullies, and did not commit any crimes against the common people, I felt that Leader Yuan must be a man of my generation. "

After hearing Liu Sheng's words, Yuan Shi felt both comfortable and moved.

These days, it is not easy to lead the team after a righteous cause without committing any crime against the common people.

Although it has only been half a year since his uprising, several of his former brothers have already left the team because of this incident, either joining the army or working alone.

How could he not be moved now when he heard that Liu Sheng, a great hero who had occupied a place in the government, praised his hard-fought beliefs and expressed his like-mindedness?

For a moment, the seven-foot-tall man in his early thirties had wet eyes.

Thinking of all the hardships he had experienced in the past six months, he couldn't help but said: "If I had known that there was a like-minded hero like Marshal Liu in Runing, I would have led everyone to join him.

I am not afraid of Liu Dashuai's jokes. Since the uprising, many of my relatives and friends have died because of me. Not only have my soldiers not been able to enjoy wealth and honor, they have often gone hungry.

This time we were surrounded and suppressed by Zhu Dadian and Huama Liu. If Mr. Yan hadn't appeared in time and made suggestions, we don't know how many people would have died.

Fortunately, Marshal Liu defeated the officers and soldiers at Zhu Gao, which made Zhu Dadian retreat in fear. We were able to get rid of the officers and soldiers and come here to join the Marshal. "

Liu Sheng let go of Yuan Shizhong's hand, patted his arm, and said: "It's not easy for all the rebels in the world, and it's even harder for those like us who have principles and act with the word 'righteousness'.

Leader Yuan has led his troops to join us this time. I can't say that I can guarantee that all the soldiers under the leader will enjoy wealth and honor, but I will definitely be able to have enough to eat and no longer be homeless. "

Liu Sheng's words were simple and sincere, with nothing false or fancy, which greatly enhanced Yuan Shizhong's trust.

He didn't want to do any more "inspections". His heart felt hot, so he stopped, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists formally, "Commander Gao Yi, Yuan Shizhong is willing to join his army and obey the arrangements!"

Liu Sheng quickly pulled Yuan Shizhong up and said with a smile: "In our army, even between superiors and subordinates, there is no need to kneel down and salute. In the army, only fist-holding salutes and military salutes are enough. Brother Yuan must not do this in the future." .”

After just a few words of conversation like this, Liu Sheng conquered Yuan Shizhong, even changing their names, and officially determined their status as superior and inferior.

Later, several generals under Yuan Shizhong were a little worried when they saw Yuan Shizhong walking with Liu Sheng, surrounded by the elite cavalry of the Yi tribe.

Only because Yuan Shizhong had already ordered Yan Ermei to stay in their team, he suppressed his worries and followed the Kuei cavalry team.

At this time, I saw Yuan Shizhong kneeling to Liu Sheng and talking and laughing with each other. It was obvious that the relationship was officially established, and I felt relieved.

Arriving in front of the camp, Yuan Shizhong saw that the camp was not big and there were no people in sight, so he couldn't help but look puzzled.

Liu Sheng said directly: "I heard that Brother Yuan led his people to surrender, so I sent people to build this camp specially. It is only for the temporary use of Brother Yuan and his subordinates. It is just that it was built in a hurry and is relatively simple."

"It's nothing. It's much better than the camp we usually stay at."

While talking, Yuan Shizhong followed Liu Sheng into the camp.

But in addition to buckets of prepared rice and broth, there were also pots of boiling water.

Each camp was divided into distinct areas, quicklime was splashed on the ground, and there was a smell of quicklime water in the air.

Liu Sheng stopped and said, "Brother Yuan, does he know why I urgently set up this camp?"

Yuan Shizhong said: "To be honest, Marshal, I am also feeling strange in my heart."

"Brother Yuan, does he know that the epidemic has been prevalent in Kaifeng Mansion since March?"

"Epidemic?!" Yuan Shizhong was surprised when he heard this. Although he was a bit loyal and upright, he was also very smart. He immediately thought of the increasing number of cold patients in the team in recent days and said anxiously: "The commander-in-chief is saying that I Is there someone in the team who is also infected with the epidemic?"

"I heard from the sentry cavalry that there are many people with cold symptoms in Brother Yuan's team, and I am afraid that there is a high possibility that there are patients with the epidemic.

Although the current epidemic has a low fatality rate, we still need to respond carefully to avoid expansion.

That's why I sent people to set up this camp, preparing to identify the disease patients in Xiaoyuan Camp first, isolate them and treat them to avoid further spread.

I have already ordered people to mobilize doctors, herbs and other supplies, which will be delivered later.However, cooperation from all levels of Xiaoyuan Camp is required to curb the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible.Brother Yuan may understand this? "

"Understood!" Yuan Shizhong heard that Liu Sheng had made such thorough preparations, and felt that he had found the backbone, "Just tell me what the commander-in-chief has planned, and little Yuan Ying will obey his orders."

"That's good," Liu Sheng nodded, "Brother Yuan, go and talk to everyone about the situation first, and let the patients come out on their own and move into the designated camp area..."

Yuan Shizhong was able to stick to his principles, and those who are still in the team are more convinced by him.In addition, only a small number of people in Xiaoyuanying have been infected with the current epidemic. Most people are afraid of contracting the disease, so the separation and isolation are quickly handled.

More than 1 people in Xiaoyuan Camp also stayed in this camp.

Liu Sheng returned to the Guards camp with more than [-] cavalrymen. They also stayed in a separate small camp, took a hot bath, changed clothes, and prepared to observe for three days...
April seventeenth.

Just after Liu Sheng came out of the small camp, important information came from Xunfeng Camp - Yang Wenyue had left Xiping!
As Liu Sheng discussed in a military meeting with the generals before, he moved to Yancheng.

After receiving this news, Liu Sheng immediately sent a telegram to Ruyang and Queshan, asking the fifth brigade and the second brigade to send two regiments each from Ruyang and Suiping to capture Shangcai and Xiping respectively.

At the same time, Helianyue was ordered to lead the sixth brigade from Nihe River to the upper reaches of Ru River, and together with the two regiments of the second brigade, capture Xiping, and then take Wuyang.

On April [-], two regiments of the fifth brigade led by Mao Cheng captured Shangcai. Xu Yongxi, the magistrate of Ming Dynasty, committed suicide in the county office, and Guan Zhuan, the official official of the Runing Prefecture of Ming Dynasty, was captured.

On April [-], Helianyue led two regiments, the Sixth Brigade and the Second Brigade, to besiege Xiping and wrote letters to persuade them to surrender.

The county magistrate Gao Douyuan opened the door and dedicated the city, becoming the first official in the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Kuei rebels!
Afterwards, Helianyue led the Sixth Brigade to the west, setting off to Wuyang on April 22 and Ye County on April 25!
After sending Helianyue to the west to attack the city and capture the territory, Liu Sheng reorganized the Xiaoyuan Camp in Xiangcheng.

After seven days of observation and treatment in the special camp, only a few people died of illness in Xiaoyuan Camp, and all of them were suffering from other serious diseases themselves.

After getting rid of the threat of the epidemic and having enough food for a period of time, Xiao Yuanying's mental outlook took on a new look, his complexion also became very good, and he further returned to his heart.

Under this circumstance, Liu Sheng's reorganization of Xiao Yuanying was also carried out smoothly.

There are more than 5000 people in Xiaoyuan Camp.

But there are only more than 8000 young adults, and the remaining [-] people are old, weak, women and children, and most of them are family members of young adults.

In addition, Xiaoyuan Camp, like many peasant armies at this time, was a "joint stock company".

Before surrendering, the top leader was Yuan Shizhong, with more than 3000 troops directly under him.

There are four ordinary leaders below, namely Yuan Shizhong's fellow villagers Liu Yuchi and Zhu Chengju, Yuan Shizhong's clan brother Yuan Shicheng, and Yuan Shizhong's cousin Zhang Dengke.

Each of these four men has more than 1000 "soldiers and horses" under their command.

Although the soldiers in Xiaoyuan Camp were not well equipped and not even very strong, and most of them were lean, Liu Sheng found after inspection that they all had a strong will to fight, even more than most soldiers in the standing army.

Think about Liu Sheng and you will understand.

Although the Kueibei standing army was well-equipped, it had not experienced many battles, and they were basically all battles with favorable winds, and had not experienced much adversity.

Although the Xiaoyuan Camp only appeared for half a year, it moved from Kaizhou in Daming Prefecture in North Zhili to Bozhou in Fengyang Prefecture in South Zhili and experienced many battles, large and small.

The cruel transition to the battle eliminated those with weak wills, leaving naturally good soldiers with strong wills and excellent physical foundations.

Therefore, Liu Sheng only eliminated some of them who were too old or too young, those who did not want to fight anymore, and some who were injured.

In the end, there were more than 800 people left.

Liu Sheng first selected hundreds of real elites to join the Tiger Guard, Shengjie Guard, and Xiaoqi Guard.

Then more than 100 key personnel were transferred from the Guards Army and the Standing Army to join them as middle and low-level officers.Dozens of military and political officials were also transferred to join them, and two regiments were formed.

The ninth brigade was established, with Yuan Shizhong as the brigade commander, He Baijing, the former deputy of the Shengjie Guards Regiment, as the brigade deputy, and Duan Lei, the former military and political officer of the Xiaoqi Guards, as the brigade military and political officer.

Liu Yuchi and Zhu Chengju were also appointed as regimental commanders of the first and second regiments of the [-]th Brigade respectively, and Yuan Shicheng and Zhang Dengke were appointed as regimental deputies of these two regiments.

Three days after this appointment, Liu Sheng specially called Yuan Shizhong to the Guards camp for a heart-to-heart talk.

"How did the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade react after the reorganization?"

Yuan Shizhong smiled and said: "The soldiers are very happy - we have never had so many good weapons and armor before.

The food in the army was also very good, and the military and political officers also taught everyone how to read and arithmetic, and told everyone stories, which everyone had never dared to think of before. "

"That's good." Liu Sheng also smiled and nodded, "When the generals and soldiers drawn from other ministries are in place, the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Brigade will be completed.

When the time comes, you will lead the Ninth Brigade and be stationed in Xiangcheng. While training, you will keep an eye on the Ming army in Kaifeng Prefecture. "

Yuan Shizhong clasped his fists sternly and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

Then, Liu Sheng discussed some specific training matters with Yuan Shizhong of the Ninth Brigade, and then prepared to let Yuan Shizhong return to the Ninth Brigade camp.

But I heard a guard shouting outside: "Commander Qi, Counselor Song is here!"

Song Xiance is back?

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Let him in!"

　First more.
