213 Hateful Golden Threads Every Year

The Ming court only knew that Liu Fangliang was running rampant in Jiaoxi, setting up official guards, but they didn't know that Luo Yukun, who was under the command of the Eastern Palace, was at the forefront.Luo Yukun practiced during the march, and wherever he went, the local guards came down, but it was the landlords' villages in the mountains that really had to spend their strength to attack.

Liu Fangliang followed Luo Yukun all the way, reporting his marching speed and the number of states and counties recovered, just like when he followed all the way from Shanxi before.Although his plan was executed perfectly, Liu Fangliang inevitably felt a little heartbroken by the clean and tidy pursuit of stolen goods and money.

——It’s really like a locust, gnawing so clean!

Liu Fangliang thought to himself.

"Lord Hou, Luo Bandit has already passed Qingzhou Mansion, and is heading for Laizhou Mansion in big and small cars." Even in Liu Fangliang's camp, everyone still called Luo Yukun Luo Bandit, and put themselves in the position of Dashun officers and soldiers.

Liu Fangliang drew a map in his mind, and said: "Let's occupy Qingzhou Mansion first. I heard that there are Prince Zhu's men and horses in Laizhou. This group of people is difficult to deal with. Let Luo thief go to find out first."

……

"I'm dizzy, why are there such turtle shells all over the mountains and plains?" Luo Yukun entered Le Xia's line of defense, as if he had hit a nail board.On the path where the army marched, there stood high walls and deep trenches, and villages with cannons on top of the walls.Although he had no intention of attacking the village, when he saw the "mountain"-shaped outer wall, he knew that it would not be easy to take it down.

——The offensive surface is extremely small, but the defensive surface is extremely large. It really is easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Zhu Jiajun also looked carefully at this fortress style that was once drawn in the book, and his heart couldn't help being agitated.

What could be more exciting than the realization of the things described in the book by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"Let's make a detour." Luo Yukun waved his hand, signaling the army to detour from the nearby fields.

This is also because he knew that Xiao Mo would not really send troops to attack him, otherwise it would be very dangerous for the army to enter the farmland.On cultivated land, horses tend to get stuck in their hoofs and cannot run fast; vehicles will even sink into the soft soil and cannot be pushed out.The formation of the soldiers will be difficult to keep neat because of the ridges, and there will inevitably be a large number of casualties under the artillery and bows of the defenders.

"No!" Zhu Jiajun immediately stopped Luo Yukun, saying, "Now the military rations over there are all transferred from the south of the Yangtze River. If you step on it, this land will be for nothing."

"That's true." Luo Yukun thought for a while, and said helplessly, "This side is next to the mountain, how can I get there?"

"Then let's turn around." Zhu Jiajun said, "Just drop the things."

As far as the eye can see, black smoke has risen from the plain.This is a distress signal from the village. It won't be long before the surrounding soldiers will gather here.

Le Xia's line of defense is a straight line on the map, but on the ground it is jagged like a dog's tooth, and the difference between peaks and valleys can be about ten miles.If you can't find the "fangs" to attack, maybe someone has already rushed to kick the army's ass.

Luo Yukun ordered the whole battalion to turn around, and led the battalion to withdraw first.When he got to the periphery, he saw the formation of the first battalion of guards who were watching from a distance.The black heads are as immovable as a mountain. If he is really an enemy army, this army will definitely launch a thunderous blow from behind.

Luo Yukun took a deep breath, and complained to Chen Chong: "You are the training officer, so you should blow the wind to your superiors, when will we go back? Look at his bright armor, and the swords and guns are dazzling, and we still use mallets here!"

Chen Chong also looked at it from a distance, and swallowed his saliva: "After this group of people are sent back, we will go south to Yanzhou, and quickly finish what the crown prince told us, and we should be able to go back and adapt it. I heard that His Royal Highness the crown prince is Make us into a reading guerrilla camp."

Luo Yukun knew that Chen Chong was not idle, and more and more training officers were sent to the army, which also made Chen Chong's eyes and ears more sensitive.If you can really have a battalion head establishment, it's really worth it to bet on yourself.

"But I'm also worried," Chen Chong said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "The military discipline in the Eastern Palace is strict, and the training is hard. I don't know if you can bear it."

"Ge Laozi... I have never suffered a lot!" Luo Yukun sternly grimaced, snorted from his nose, pulled his horse and left, and shouted loudly: "Go faster for me! They all have bound feet. Girls are talking!"

……

Holding binoculars in his hand, Xiao Mo watched Luo Yukun's station barracks pass in front of him, leaving behind two auxiliary barracks mainly made up of refugees.

Under the appeasement of the officers, these people vaguely knew that there was something abnormal, and they were relieved until an officer came out and announced that the army was going to serve the Ming court anyway.For them, it doesn't matter who they work for, as long as they have something to eat.Only a few people thought about the family members of the old camp behind, and they made a stir, and were soon subdued with sticks.

When the news came that the old battalion had also surrendered and was taken into Wei County, the two auxiliary battalions settled down completely, obediently following the officers and soldiers in big red fat jackets and moving forward in batches.

"Father, luckily I didn't shoot it, look at the cannon on the wall." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy followed a middle-aged man and said in a low voice: "Father, look, have those people also practiced Zhuang Gong? "

The middle-aged man glanced over, quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Shh, don't cause trouble."

"Where did I cause trouble?" The young man was rather unconvinced, staring at that side, and said, "Father, how can they make meritorious deeds?"

"Warring is a job of licking blood with knives, and practicing boxing is a matter of course." The middle-aged man pressed his son's neck and turned around forcibly, preventing him from looking at the officers and soldiers.

"Oh, yes, great-grandfather too... Ouch, Dad, take it easy! My neck is broken!" the boy yelled.

The newly recruited team is most afraid of instability in the hearts of the people, resulting in a camp noise, or mutiny.As soon as the boy called out, the leading officer in front immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Don't talk! Follow!"

The middle-aged man quickly apologized with a smile, and continued to move forward with his son.

There is a big tree in front, and there is a person under the tree, holding up a metal tube, with both ends exposed, the small mouth is placed near the mouth, and the big mouth is facing the outside. When speaking, the voice is in vain and scary.

"Is there anyone who can read! Those who can read stand up!" The man shouted loudly: "The ones who can't read continue to move forward!"

"Father... Ouch!" The young man just opened his mouth, but was pinched lightly by the man, so he had to follow the illiterate group forward with unwillingness.He rolled his eyes and saw that those who claimed to be literate had already embarked on another road, and no one was watching them, and some people handed them water bottles and white flour buns. !I really don't know what I'm thinking.

"Stand up with skills!" Another person not far in front, also holding that weird tin bucket, yelled over and over again.There were also some people standing beside him, they didn't know what benefit they got, but they just looked at the comrades who were still in the team with joy.

"Those who have dug mines stand up"

"Those who have done coolies stand up!"

"Those who can ride and raise horses will come out!"

"Those who have killed someone stand up!"

"Stand up if you don't know how to farm!"

At every intersection in front, someone shouted loudly to disperse the people in the team.There are many mines at the junction of Shandong, Beizhi, and Henan, and there are quite a few refugees who have dug mines.As soon as these people left, the team became much thinner.Afterwards, those who had worked as coolies, those who knew horses, and those who had killed people in battle were selected, and the previous brigade had become a tributary.

The boy followed his father and never had a chance to stand out, but just followed the team forward.After those officers and soldiers picked away those who could not farm, there was no one to pick in front of them.Only one officer with a helmet on his head and a sword on his waist said to the crowd, "Don't be afraid! We officers and soldiers protect the common people!"

"You lied..." The young man muttered, and his mouth was instantly covered by a big hand.

"You come with me, and I will distribute farm tools and seeds to you in the village ahead! We will distribute the fields and houses for you ahead!" The officer waved his arms wildly and shouted passionately: "In the future There is production in your fields, so you don’t have to pay rent! The imperial court will not collect your rent! It will not pull your corvee! You will live a good life from now on!”

There was no cheering, and everyone stared blankly at this officer who seemed to be crazy, wondering if he was kicked in the head by a donkey when he went out in the morning.There are even people who have gone all the way here and haven't figured it out yet, wondering in their hearts: "Is this Dashun or Daming?"
