Win the Ding 1617

While Abatai was telling his brothers and nephews about the strengths and weaknesses of various military forces in the Mainland, a scene of a sitcom was being staged in Jinan. ↖,

Outside the west gate of Jinan, the Huiquanlou Restaurant by the Tianjing Spring, the entire restaurant has long been taken over by the Beijing camp.Not only Huiquan Building, but also Taifeng Building next to it, Yanxi Hall, Jubin Garden, etc. are full of guests, and the nearby streets are full of soldiers from the Jingying and Longhuying coming in and out shoulder to shoulder.The sentinels sent by the two families at the entrance of the street blocked the street, and no one except the necessary personnel was allowed to enter.In the restaurant, the laughter of men and women and the sound of drinking orders can be heard from time to time, even if they are separated by a few streets, they can be heard clearly.

The sweet and sour Yellow River carp in Huiquanlou is a must in Jinan and even the entire Shandong cuisine. The authentic "Yellow River carp" purchased from the Yellow River ferry.The water in the pool is running water from the springs in Jinan. The fish are kept in the pool, and the meat is tender and the smell of mud is gone.If the diners like it, some waiters will immediately catch it with a long pole net and send it to the operation room for making. This is "fingered fish".The sweet and sour live carp is placed on the plate, with its head and tail raised, squeaking and bubbling, in the shape of jumping over a dragon's gate.The food is sweet and sour, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, mellow and slightly salty, and the fish is tender and delicious.

This kind of food, let alone a country bumpkin like Luo Hu, even Wang Long, who has eaten and seen it before, Tan Qirui and Luo Zuming, who have always been particular about food and drink, are full of praise.

After drinking for three rounds, Tan Qirui said to Wang Long through the strength of the wine: "Brother, can't you leave a few days later? Isn't it happier in Shandong than in Henan? There is wine and meat in the barracks, and you can eat whatever you want. Go outside for a while." Let's go, officials, gentry and wealthy households see us as tigers, and poor people see us as their own parents. I have traveled all over the world, but I have never seen a place that is so sincerely supported by people. It is said in books and operas that ancient times It was like this during the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. I never dreamed of it before. Lao Tzu’s army could become an army of benevolent men like the kings of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. I guess you have never enjoyed this feeling, brother. I dare not persuade you to stay, that is Breaking the rules, but is it okay to stay for a few more days?"

Wang Long pushed away the prostitute snuggling up to him, and said with a smile: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own kennel. The uncle and his son are so kind to us. But after all, they are no better than our uncle. My uncle brought me up since I was a child." Traveling all over the world, you are like your own son, and you are very kind to me. If you are in the rivers and lakes, you have to show affection. If you don’t want to leave because of the good Shandong, I will be that ungrateful bastard. So, please be considerate, brother, the itinerary cannot be changed. However, I will never forget the brothers in Beijing. To put it bluntly, if I encounter them on the battlefield in the future, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will protect my brothers. I will never forget this right away friendship."

The mission of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion came to an end because of the annihilation of Abate's entire army.Don't say that Li Huayu can't tolerate a joint venture team of Chuangying and Caoying existing in Shandong for a long time, but he doesn't care.Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who were in urgent need of besieging Kaifeng in Henan Province, also needed this team to return to the army quickly.

After a few months, there were originally 6000 people in the Dragon and Tiger Camp.Has grown to more than [-] people.Among them, cavalry and infantry are divided into half and half.According to the standards of the Peasant Army, almost all of those cavalry teams were at least at the level of Xiaoqi.The infantry is also an elite with complete armor, swords and guns.

This time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai made a lot of money by releasing the outside team. The 6000 people have become more than 2 elites. This input and output are extremely rich anyway.What's more, there are still a large number of stolen goods, no.It was seized and transported southward to Kaifeng through the Yellow River and canals to help the besieging army. (The so-called sending troops outside was originally the only way for the officers and soldiers in various places to expand their strength or make a fortune during the Republic of China. It was to send part of their own troops to other people's territory to act as bandits. If the foreign team survives and grows in number, it will naturally expand its establishment after returning. Because the establishment of the official army is fixed, and the supplies, funds, and weapons are also strictly controlled by the top, so the leader of the "non-brand official army" wants to expand the team. Just send a few backbones and bring some people out with guns to be bandits. These bandits kidnap and rob people outside and recruit people into their gangs. Of course, the officers and soldiers don’t care about them. The government will naturally allocate funds, offer rewards, and demand that law and order be restored within a time limit. At this time, the officers and soldiers will perform a double-reed drama of "recruiting security" with the bandits, gaining credit and expanding the team—this kind of "releasing outsiders" The farce of "Team" is actually a trick of officials and bandits colluding to harm the people. And this kind of trick was played by Commander Tang who was stationed in Henan during the Anti-Japanese War. Otherwise, there would be no 40 troops stationed in Henan. But the [-] Japanese troops going south is a wonderful story. The more serious consequence is that other battlefields are starting to counterattack, but your government army of the Republic of China has collapsed thousands of miles. Do you have the right to speak in front of your friends? So, whether it is Yalta or Potsdam, you can only accept it, and there is no room for bargaining. Of course, in the eyes of people who think that there are many masters in that era, they will never see it. They will only say that China's long-distance rapid march ability is better than the powerful Japanese army at that time.)

Seeing Wang Long like this, Tan Qirui couldn't continue talking about this matter, but changed the subject and said: "Okay, brothers have difficulties, and I won't force them. In this way, if brothers need anything, you can buy gunpowder, gunpowder, clothes, etc. I will take all the medicines with me. I will try my best to help raise them if I can. After all, you are going south to deal with the 20 troops in the Xiaoyuan camp, and you must prepare more firearms, knives and guns!"

Only when this topic was mentioned, Luo Hu found some feeling.He held up the wine bowls towards Tan Qirui and Luo Zuming, "Both big brothers, it's not me, Luo Xiaohuzi, who is boasting, but the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Xiaoyuanying, not to mention the presence of Big Brother Wang Long, is my shocking One part of the mountain camp can beat him to pieces!"

The Little Yuan Camp Luo Hu mentioned was a peasant army that was haunting Xuzhou, Haizhou, Mengcheng, Bozhou, and Suiqi at this time.Because of its leader Yuan Shizhong, he was called Xiaoyuanying, and Yuan Shizhong was from Huaxian County, Henan Province. In the 13th year of Chongzhen, a crowd gathered in Kaizhou to revolt. In 14, he crossed the Yellow River and fought in parts of Henan and Nanzhili.Because there was an uprising team of miners headed by Yuan Laoshan in Henan, Yuan Shizhong's team was called "Little Yuan Camp".Among the local peasant uprisings in Henan prefectures and counties, Xiaoyuanying was the most mobile and fastest growing branch.Because Yuan Shizhong led these troops to and fro on the borders of Shandong, Henan and other places at this time, which made Li Huayu a little upset, and by the way, he wanted to give Longhuying a legal and reasonable reason for the curtain call.Then let them go south to deal with this small Yuan camp.The conditions have been negotiated, all the materials and food needed to defeat the Xiaoyuan camp will be supplied by Li Huayu, and all seized will be handled according to the old rules!

"Brother Xiaohu, I also know that you are brave and good at fighting, but it's just said in the military newspaper of the eldest son. There are 20 people in Xiaoyuan's camp, but you should not be underestimated!"

"Brother Luo, the 20 is true. But you don't know the way to do it. If Brother Wang Long and I plan to get 30 people, we can get 30 people from Jinan in less than half a month." No. Not at all! The troops in Xiaoyuan’s battalion can fight no more than 3 to [-] people, among which Yuan Shizhong’s cavalry, personal soldiers and other elite soldiers are no more than a thousand. It’s useless!”

"Hey! Little Huzi, you can't say that. In the art of war, it's said: more wins and less wins. It must be a poor family's way to get rich! If we think about it carefully, I'm afraid we won't drink and eat carp here Already, I’ve already given a banquet on the platform and counted the gold my uncle gave me!" Tan Qirui laughed, pinched the face of the fan beside him, and laughed twice.

The four were silent for a while.When Abate was wiped out, if everyone could have considered it more thoroughly.Tie the encirclement tighter, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as capturing Abatai's armor flag.

After a while, Wang Long thought for a while and said: "The reward that should be given has already been given, and a lot more has been given out. Grain, oil and salt, cloth, mules and horses, gunpowder, weapons, armor, during this time my brother The two are also operating a lot towards the old. Even the fire rope has been operated two cars to the old, enough for those gunners to use for a few years! I can’t be cheeky to ask for anything else. I have to work on the two elder brothers. One. The last time the meat was sent out together with the porcelain urn of chicken and bacon meat. I think you don’t like to eat the porcelain urn of chicken bacon. Hundreds of fresh meat such as pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks will be exchanged with you for chicken bacon meat porcelain urns, at worst, I will exchange ten for nine."

The voice just fell.Tan Qirui said with joy and tears in his eyes: "Brother, stop talking, one catty of fresh meat is exchanged for three catties of dry goods, don't fight with me, you fight with me, I'm in a hurry with you!"

Afterwards, the two sides reached a happy deal, and Tan Qirui thought to himself, what a fucking good person, to accept those disgusting things voluntarily.Wang Long was secretly happy. Damn, it's a lot of money to exchange three catties for one catty. These dry goods are easy to store and easy to carry.If you get it in Henan, it is a good product for treating guests, drinking and giving gifts on festivals.

"Brother, you just said two things, what is the other one?"

"Brother Luo, to be honest, we plan to bring some more medicine back. Especially this thing."

Luo Hu took the life-saving kit from the soldiers around him.This thing can be regarded as an upgraded product of the life-saving kit. Alcohol has replaced iodine as a product for cleaning wounds and disinfecting wounds.

Iodine, speaking of which everyone is familiar with, is the most common drug used to disinfect trauma.Since Shou Han led his people to isolate iodine from kelp, he only used it for the silver mirror reaction. However, with the increase of battles, the battles became more and more cruel, and the proportion of casualties also increased.The original alcohol disinfection bandage gradually became less effective.By chance, Shou Han learned that someone added iodine to alcohol to treat the wound, and the effect was obvious.Immediately overjoyed, he ordered a large amount of iodine to be produced.

Through the hands of Luo Hu and others, this thing was passed into the hands of Kaifeng Chuangying and Cao Ying. After being tested by Yingzhong Shangjiong and other doctors, the effect is really extraordinary!Immediately, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others were overjoyed!For Li Zicheng's troops, who are always on the death line, this is no less than a life-saving elixir!If those soldiers who have been injured by swords, guns and arrows can be cured, how much will their combat effectiveness be increased?

Dang even ordered Pegasus to tell Wang Long and Luo Hu that as many of these things as they can be made, the more the better!Don't be afraid to spend money!

"Hey! Isn't it just to get some medicinal wine!? What a big deal! Tomorrow, you send people to my camp to move! You can move as much as you have! If there is not enough, I will go to Xingyuan Liangtai to ask for it! The big deal Just spend some money to buy it!"

"Then I would like to thank Brother Tan! We are planning to buy fifty thousand silver dollars, and we hope that Brother can help us!"

"It's easy to say! Easy to say!" With such a large sum of money in hand, why don't Luo Tan and the two help?You only need to pay some formalities on the official documents.It's a completely worthless business!

One is willing to spend money to buy it, and the other knows how to make money. Right now, they hit it off and it's another scene of brotherly love.

It's good to push a cup for a meal.When everyone was drunk, Wang Long quietly pulled Tan Qirui aside, and handed him a blueprint.

When Tan Qirui saw it, he felt dizzy. The drawing looked a bit like a map of Shandong, with the name of the state capital on it.However, there are women's head portraits, money and food hoards on the picture at the same time, which feels messy.Tan Qirui hurriedly asked: "Brother, what is this thing?"

Wang Long chuckled: "Brother, this blueprint has a name, it's called Shandong Xiangyao Distribution Map."

"These places are all carefully investigated by the brothers who are in charge of pulling water and pulling threads. In some places, there are many beauties, so a woman's head is drawn, and some rich people have a lot of money, so a silver ingot is drawn. Some landlords have a lot of food. I just drew a grain hoarder. These people have a fairly clean background and a good reputation, so it’s not easy to start at the moment. We planned to secretly start together to make some extra money in the future, but it’s time to leave, so this benefit I will give it to you, brother. But if these people want to be punished, they will have to be charged with some crimes. Do you want me to leave some people for brother to help?"

Tan Qirui also smiled: "Brother thinks too much, this is a small matter. Don't bother brother to worry about it. In addition, our Beijing camp seems to have lost a batch of armor sticks and equipment by the Yellow River in the north of the city, and there are more than 20 doors from the Shenji camp. Artillery, just now the people below came to report. The thousands of mules and horses kept in captivity over there were crushed by the stable due to the heavy wind and snow. I don’t know where these mules and horses have fled. Your camp is close, take time You might as well send some people to look for it. If you can’t find it, forget it, and if you find it, send it back.”

Wang Long smiled knowingly, and then the two of them laughed sinisterly at the same time.for such a deal.Both are happy to see it happen.The peasant army paid the most attention to the seizure of mules and horses, even to the point of paying more attention to the seizure of gold, silver, pearls and jade.The first reward was for the capture of mules and horses, followed by the capture of knives, guns, firearms, and cloth, and the lowest reward was for those who captured gold and silver.With these more than a thousand mules and horses, Wang Long and Luo Hu returned to Kaifeng, and in front of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, it would be more honorable to speak.As for the soldiers of the Jingying camp, they have already replenished the shortage of horses, mules and donkeys in the battalion during the more than half a year of fighting in Shandong. If the surplus captured horses are brought back to the capital, it is still unclear whether others will covet them. Those horse grass beans are a huge expense, which has to be paid for by the young masters themselves!Rather than paying for it yourself, it is better to exchange some silver!

After a tacit laugh, Tan Qirui mysteriously asked Wang Long to listen to him, and Wang Long quickly followed suit, Tan Qirui said in a low voice: "The imperial court issued a decree to let the confidential military information come from the capital. Uncle Ning Yuan's eldest son, Li Huayu, sent troops to Henan to fight your lord. We are our own people, so let your lord get ready. Brother, let me hold you back a bit, and when the time comes, you will come and I will play a good show. gone."

Wang Long gave Tan Qirui a big gift immediately after listening

Wang Long said gratefully: "Brother, I will not thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, brother. When you get to Henan, I will just shoot the gun into the sky! After the fight, we will be defeated for thirty miles. We are thieves. We were defeated. It is normal to leave a little gold and silver from time to time."

Tan Qirui patted Wang Long's shoulder and said, "That's right, but thieves are also very cunning, and they often counterattack when the officers and soldiers are unprepared, so it's normal for brothers to drop igniting gunpowder. Then some mules ran away in the camp Horses are also inevitable!"

After the two gangsters finished speaking, there was another smirk.

A few days later, the Dragon and Tiger Battalion completed their preparations and set out on the road wearing new clothes and armor, carrying a large amount of gunpowder and supplies.Originally, Longhuying wanted to leave quietly, but how could Tan Qirui and Luo Zuming agree?I have to go out of the city to see them off.

So, the final result was that Tan Qirui took part of the Beijing camp out of the city to see him off, and both sides of the road were full of people who had heard the news.For a moment, both sides of the road were like a busy market. Farmers who had just been allocated food and clothing from the fields set up pots and stoves without hesitation, made millet porridge and pancakes and handed them to the officers and soldiers of the Longhu Camp, asking them to eat before leaving.Some even cried and held the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Camp, thanking them for sending them food for the spring famine, and eradicating the bullies who were rampant in the countryside for themselves.Wang Long Luohu was also full of emotions, thinking of himself back then, if Shaanxi was in the same situation back then, and some people reduced rent and interest, officials and gentry paid for food together, why would he do such a sharp-edged business?

When I was feeling emotional, I suddenly saw some squires wearing leather clothes among the people who saw me off. I saw these people smiled charmingly and put up a banner that said firmly support the New Deal and send off the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Camp.The two who watched sneered for a while, and thought to themselves, oh shit, now I want to pretend to be a good person, why did I go there early, if it wasn't for the lads being out of time, I wouldn't see if I would cut you up one by one and let them dry.

"My lords, I don't dare to stay longer because of military affairs! Please!"

After all, there were still many common people and country gentry around, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Hu and Wang Long still presented their voluntary identities recruited locally by Shandong to visit the two deputy generals of the Beijing camp.

"Okay! I think that Xiao Yuanying is just some ants thieves roaring in the mountains and forests, mantis arms and chariots. If you two go here, it will be a success!"

After a few words on the scene, the brigade of Longhu Camp meandered for dozens of miles, carrying countless vehicles, heavy artillery, and headed southward.

"These wolves and tigers are gone!" The well-dressed gentry in the seeing-off team couldn't help but secretly rejoice, hoping that after these people left, Mr. Li in Jinan City and the men in the capital camp in front of them would not When the minions are removed and the evil policies of all the errands and food are implemented, will it be eased a little bit?

The facts quickly gave these beautiful fantasies a blow.The Longhu camp went south to wipe out the Xiaoyuan camp, and the Beijing camp that remained in the hinterland of Shandong was even crazier.With the excuse of exterminating the bandits, the troubles in the state capitals of various places in Shandong were like flying dogs.

Countless gentry, merchants and wealthy households who have always played a benevolent role among their neighbors have suffered innocent disasters.The Xiang Kiln was smashed by Beijing Camp in the name of harboring bandits.However, after smashing the kiln, all kinds of things that were originally not visible were exposed to the world one after another.

"Damn it! So we thought that the work we did in the Beijing camp was dirty enough, and this group of gentlemen who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality are even dirtier than us!" Looking through the various evidences that were copied and checked. I saw how gentlemen from all over the world took advantage of natural disasters, opened the embankment and flooded other people's fertile fields, and then used the excuse of relief to raise money and food, privately bought the fields of these disaster-stricken people, and even took away their wives. The woman becomes his plaything in the crotch.How to build bridges and pave roads, renovate temples, set up voluntary schools, etc. to fill their pockets and so on.

"Damn it! What are you talking about all the time that scholar-bureaucrats and gentlemen are the foundation of the country? Shit!" Luo Zuming slapped the ground under his feet with a leather whip.

"Lao Luo, let's just smash the kilns to make money. We can't control anything else. Tell the children under your command that although these kilns are fat, remember not to smash them! We can't afford to mess with them!"

On the picture of Xiangyao in Tan Qirui's hands, the two huge red circles are full of silver, food and beauties.However, it made Luo Tan and the two of them flinch.

A red circle marked the Qufu Confucian Mansion, and the other was the Meng family in Zoucheng.

This is Yanshenggong Mansion and Yasheng Mansion, although they have known for a long time that their buttocks are full of excrement, blood and tears.But this is the ancestral grave of all scholars in the world!Can this still be smashed?

"If you want to smash such a loud kiln, I'm afraid that Mr. Li from Jinan City must lead the team!"

For no reason, Luo Zuming suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

At the end of February in the 15th year of Chongzhen, Luo Hu and Wang Long led their troops and defeated Yuan Shizhong's Xiaoyuanying in the first battle in Suizhou and Qixian.They beheaded Yuan Shizhong and Yuan Shitai brothers, captured tens of thousands of their troops, and more than [-] hungry people.

Since then, the war situation in the Central Plains has become even more treacherous. (to be continued..)
