Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chongzhen and the bloody Chen Xinjia, who was scolded, accumulated double anger. These anger formed a very harsh wording, and there was a clear time-limited purpose. Liu Zeqing was restricted to go to Yanggu with the whole army before March 24, and he must bite The thieves in the Dongchang Fucheng area, and then fight all the way north until they defeat the thieves gathered in the Weijiawan area. [
At the same time, because they were worried that Linqing might be lost, the Ministry of War ordered the generals in Linqing to gather the people and prepare more equipment for the defense of the city. People, if the city is lost, the city's participating generals, garrison, capital division, thousand, and general military officers, as well as state officials, Tong, and judges, will all be severely punished!

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, after Yang Sichang presided over the punishment of civil and military officials after the entry of the Eastern Captives, more than 30 governors and general-level officials were executed. The imperial court's plan was obvious. While strictly urging Liu Zeqing to come to Dongchang Mansion, at the same time, he hoped that Linqing would do his best to save himself.

A thieves leader who started to toss about a few months ago, and an aggressive military advance that was not taken seriously half a month ago, turned out to be a real threat now, just from these edicts and the Ministry of War Judging from the official documents, it is enough to see the panic and tension in the center of the imperial court.

Linqing's status is really important! [

"Things that I never thought of..."

The current Linqing Counselor Zhou Hongmo was originally a guerrilla in Weihai. He was promoted to Linqing Counselor two years ago, and he spent thousands of dollars on gifts. , Although suffered a military disaster, but the recovery is also fast.In the past, if there were many caravans, there would be more honors. The shops in this city also had routines. In addition to taking up vacancies and occupying slaves, you can always get a thousand silver a year. It is impossible for another military disaster to come... All plans were shattered in the face of several strict edicts from the court.

Now General Zhou is frowning, sitting in the second hall of his yamen, next to a master in silk robes, ordinary in appearance, vulgar in temperament, but he thinks of himself as extraordinary, seeing the panic of the proprietor, he lavishly embraces him "Don't worry, the proprietor. I expect some thieves to come. They are not giant thieves like the Shan bandits at all. What's so scary? Zhang patrolled Suiyang in the past, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the city. Isn't it guarded like a copper wall and an iron wall?"

"Then how do we keep it?"

"My Linqing city has been rebuilt. The horse barrier and the city moat are complete. All the gates are closed. Your Excellency's soldiers guard the crenels and horse faces, and then tell the people from house to house to help defend the city. They will issue tickets to Lord Zhou Zun. Guarding the soil is also a responsibility, they have to be prepared for things like beating wood and stones... Dong Weng, I am not talking about it, anyway, the meaning of the superior is obvious, let's guard it for a few days, and Marshal Liu's troops should arrive. If his soldiers don't come after a few days, we can't hold it, so we can't blame us."

"This is very true!"

Zhou Hongmo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands to the master and said, "For official documents to the state government, I still need to rely on the master's pen."

"Do my part!"

The master moved his pen like flying, and urged the state government to prepare men and defense equipment. After a text was written, he read it several times and was quite satisfied. People, I heard that there are tens of thousands of thieves now. If Linqing, a place that is more important than Jinan, is defended in the current crisis, well, Dong Weng is certainly rewarded, but I, Huang, will also become famous and famous among the talents. "

"Well, that's it. Hurry up and send someone over there." Mr. Huang took the document to General Zhou to seal it, and then immediately sent it to the state government office. It is estimated that the order has also been received there, and the two offices will work together. It is necessary to do a good job in defense affairs.

"I just don't know where the thieves are now..." After finishing what he could do, General Zhou rubbed his head, and said melancholy: "Li Qingshan has always been a knowledgeable person, how come he has become like this now, um, If I saw him in the city, I would have to scold him, yes, I must do this to vent my anger!"

……

……

This made all the officials and gentry in the southeast corner of Dongchang Mansion feel uneasy, and when the court center was jumping anxiously, the "thief horse" had already firmly grasped the hub of Weijiawan, and began to use fine horses to cut off the four directions, and the barriers were cleared everywhere. In fact, cut off any contact between Linqing and the northern court.

The person in charge of the entire brigade was Cui Yu from Fushan, with the rank of general, and the host of the Laizhou Land Tour Camp.

In charge of commanding Qingqi and intercepting all parties in Linqing is a team officer under Li Yongxin's command. His surname is Ma, and he is a brother of Ma Sanbiao's assistant in the Secret Service. He is very shrewd and capable.

Various spy methods such as intelligence collection and rumor release are directed by Ma Sanbiao himself. Now Wang Yunfeng is in Huguang, and Ma Sanbiao is also the number one figure in the Secret Service. With him here, things go smoothly.

The most important responsibility falls on Zhu Wangli.

The highest among all the generals present was the general. There was no real leader of the Fushan system to direct this major event. Everything was carried out according to the plan drawn up in advance. Zhang Shouren didn't even plan to send Zhong Rong to preside over it... All material allocation, personnel diversion, Zhuang Ding's concentration, etc., such a big deal, unexpectedly, such a group of general officers followed the plan prepared in advance and carried out according to the regulations, and things are not going bad... For the officials of Ming Dynasty It is simply impossible to say this, because the entire Ming Dynasty has always been a vague management method, and everything is based on morality. It is rare to carry out detailed operations according to plans, regulations, and detailed rules. For us, all this has long been taken for granted. [

"There are 150 soldiers in the headquarters, divided into 340 teams, each team has [-] shield players, [-] iron halberd players, [-] spearmen, and [-] firearms players. There are a total of [-] six soldiers from Jinan and Dongchang. They were mobilized and selected from a manor, and each Zhuang Ding has undergone at least half a year of training. Although [-]% of them have no actual combat experience, but in my opinion, these soldiers, let alone Linqing, even if they swung their weapons, they went all the way to the capital. It's not too difficult..."

"General Cui, your sense of humor is too much."

Cui Yu was brought out by Qu Rui. Compared with his chief officer, Cui Yu seemed to have an excessive sense of humor. At least none of the people in front of him laughed.

After one and a half years of operation, especially Zhang Shouren's money first, and the superior living conditions and conditions, there are more than 300 manors in Jinan and Dongchang alone, and they have mastered nearly 300 million mu of land. Land has always been of little value. When the Wanli years were the most prosperous, an acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River was worth more than a dozen taels of silver.

After the war, a lot of unowned land appeared in Linqing and Jinan. At that time, the Qing soldiers finally captured about 30 young and middle-aged men in Shandong province. There were so many prisoners alone. Just imagine how many people were killed. How many?The city is empty, the fields are desolate, and the villages have been burned to the ground. It can be said that Zhang Shouren chose to enter Dongchang at a good time, because such a place is an important point between the north and the south, and business will resume within a few years. After a few years, it is completely impossible for the people who moved to get back such a large piece of land as a manor.

The current results are of course satisfactory. Each manor has gathered a minimum of 3000 people and as many as 6000 people, cultivating land ranging from several thousand to over [-] mu. After two harvests, each farm has been stabilized. After coming down, the officer in charge of the military training of the manor was delighted to find that there are more and more young and middle-aged men who are willing to defend the manor... According to the original plan, they should receive training and become the best substitutes for the Fushan army. They usually farm, read and write , Hurry up and train. During the slack time, you can practice stabbing, blocking, queue expansion, closing, and impacting non-stop. In addition, you have to learn golden drums, semaphore, making siege equipment, etc., long-term training It made these Zhuang Ding physically strong, and the teaching of characters enabled them to accept complex queue training and semaphore command. As for the effect of actual combat training, it depends on the immediate results.

These Zhuang Ding gathered according to the organizational system of Wu, Shi, platoon, whistle, and team. Each whistle has more than 100 faces eager to try. This time, they used the name of thieves to attack Linqing. Of course, a lot of explanations were made beforehand. Work, in Fushan, although the order must be carried out, anyone is allowed to ask and question before receiving the order. After knowing that this matter is to deal with Li Qingshan and Liu Zeqing, many people are very satisfied. As for the details, the higher-ups will worry about it That's it.

It's not a real rebellion, and it can attack those who want to deal with the general. These simple children of the village are still willing to do something.In the simplest terms, what they are holding is the job given by Zhang Shouren, even if they really rebel, they can only go there.

On the periphery of the team is the cavalry team, more than [-] people, just divided into two teams.

The cavalry here in Dongchang are all light cavalry, wearing only military uniforms and no armor.

The training is also based on scouting skills, hiding and reconnaissance, etc. Now every cavalry is doing preparations. They are usually a horse lance or iron spear, which can be placed diagonally in the side pocket of the horse, and then a hatchet Throwing weapons such as javelins are placed on the other side. In addition, those who can shoot arrows will bring one or two bows and arrows, which are also placed in the pocket, and there are several bunches of arrows, divided into light arrows and heavy arrows, and then Relying on water hyacinths, dry food bags, upper and lower flint machines and bedding, etc., they will, under the leadership of the cavalry officer, cover all enemies who attempt to enter Dongchang Prefecture.

"Boys, let's go!"

The majestic voice of the cavalry officer sounded, followed by Cui Yu's order to sound the bugle, and the troops also started to set off as a whole. It is 130 miles away from Linqing, and the troops are expected to arrive at the city in two and a half days. The time for the city was set one day after the arrival... The time was tight and the tasks were heavy, all the officers immediately handed over their hands, and then urged their subordinates to set off.
