Unlike the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties, which emphasized the theory of "harmony between man and nature", they often used the banner of "response between man and nature" to be different. A huge contrast between the Southern Guangdong Army and them was their strong road building and bridge building behavior.

In the mainland, there has been a so-called tradition of officials not repairing government offices and roads throughout the past dynasties.Occasionally, a few officials organize squires to repair bridges and repair roads, and almost all of them can erect monuments. Then when officials leave office, they will take off their boots and give umbrellas to the people. For several miles, they chanted slogans such as "Return my father-in-law".

On the other hand, the Southern Guangdong Army, in order to better rule this vast, vast, terrain and extremely complex region, has extremely high requirements for the high efficiency of the administrative system. From top to bottom, the army has road-building paranoia that is close to obsessive-compulsive disorder.Bridges are erected on the rivers with conditions, and pontoon bridges are erected on those without conditions, turning the natural moats into thoroughfares.From the perspective of geographical terrain, the traffic is smooth and the goods flow smoothly, and from another perspective, it also prevents the situation of becoming a separate regime due to the isolation and obstacles of geographical mountains and rivers.

Pieces of land are either consciously or forcibly added to the circle of commodity culture circulation, and the behavior of dividing one side loses its inherent conditions economically.

And the various decrees of the Southern Guangdong Army can also follow the law.Orders issued from the center of power are sent to various roads by fast boats and fast horses, and then issued from various roads, all the way to the prefecture, state, county, town, and village, as smoothly as fingers.

However, the official roads running from north to south and from east to west have also destroyed the idyllic hometown feelings in the minds of countless people.In their hearts, they always stubbornly demand that no matter how far or how long they have traveled, every plant and tree in their hometown must remain intact as they left.They can't let them think of their hometown, but find that their hometown has completely changed.Or the originally peaceful and quiet Chun'an County has become the Qiandao Lake Reservoir.Therefore, in their writings, the whole world, at least the whole of China, should maintain the original appearance of green mountains and green waters for their hometown.There can be no slight change for decades, and then when they want to show their sense of superiority in front of the poor folks in their spare time after eating and drinking enough one day, they will return to the place where the mountains and rivers remain the same.Accusing the government of incompetence and inaction, it is still so poor and backward after decades.

(Uh, the seemingly unkind author is slandering someone again. That’s right! I won’t name a certain Taiwanese female writer who is trying to arouse everyone’s anger, so as not to increase the workload of the Taiwan department when it happens. It’s just very stubborn This requirement is expressed in her works. Students who are interested in her masterpiece can find it. There are many science fiction, comprehension, and fantasy plots. The most impressive passage is that a **** veteran told her .I once led a battalion after the Battle of Huaihai, so that a regiment of **** did not move forward for several days and nights. What Saiyans, Kesai, and Transformers are not a problem! Completely inherited *** *The glorious tradition of six hundred gendarmes fighting against the elite divisions of the Japanese army!)

It is also relying on good post roads and an administrative system that is so powerful that it can overwhelm the Qin State, the Southern Guangdong Army can establish this powerful regime on this vast land.

When Li Shouhan and his high-ranking members reached a decision to march into the Central Plains, the official office will make the decision into an official document order, and after the company seals it, the fast boat will go out to sea from Guangzhou Port, and travel along the Pearl River in all directions from east to west, north, south, and night. .

The envoy going north managed to moor the ship in Laizhou Bay against the strong north wind blowing from the north.After landing, I changed to a fast horse and headed for Jinan Prefecture.

"The eldest son is not in the capital city. Lead the troops to the west!" The few generals who stayed behind in Jinan looked at the messenger rather embarrassed.

The courier touched the briefcase sealed with cowhide wax on the back.It is also quite difficult.It was a matter of confidentiality, he would never dare to stay in the Jinan Mansion and wait for Li Huayu to lead his troops back, if the matter was delayed, then ten heads would not be enough for him to chop off.

"Change me a horse, find some guides who are familiar with the road, and lead me to the Grand Prince's army!" The messenger gritted his teeth and made his own decision.

Under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, the messenger galloped along the official road to Jining and Tai'an, where Li Huayu led his troops.

Jining and Tai'an border on Puyang in Henan.

Li Huayu and Liao Dongzhi led the two newly formed brigades in Shisan Town.Waiting in line in the wilderness amidst the sky and loess.

The messenger who was still panting took a peek at a red sun hanging in mid-air, right above people's heads. "Fortunately! It was finally delivered on time!"

"Young Marshal, what did Lord Junzhi say?" Although Li Huayu's current job title is Denglai Bingbei Dao, but because he is acting as Li Shouhan's governor Shandong, Denglai and other officials in military, horse, money and food affairs.It can also be regarded as a big official of the frontier.When several governors saw him, they had to hand over their notebooks, and met with their subordinates in etiquette.But for an old man like Liao Dongzhi, he is still used to calling him young marshal to show his closeness.

"Father Commander is ready to march into the Central Plains." Li Huayu handed several official documents to Liao Dongzhi who was accompanied by his horse. "Let us rectify our troops and horses, prepare food, grass and beans. Repair roads and recruit civilians. Prepare to welcome the arrival of the army."

At the same time, it was delivered to Li Huayu, and the official office ordered the Shandong garrison not to sell wheat, soybeans and other grains to the surrounding troops from the time the official document arrived. All similar grains collected and produced in Shandong must be Return the particles to the warehouse.However, what is also touching and strange is that Shandong can take advantage of its geographical location to sell rice and other grains to trade wheat beans and other materials urgently needed by the Southern Guangdong Army.

"My lord is really going to do something big?" Liao Dongzhi was also heartbroken. From the numbers mentioned in the official documents, he could deduce that this time the soldiers and horses went north, it was definitely not a small army's activity to serve the king, but hundreds of thousands. Large-scale action of soldiers and horses.

With such a huge army going north, not to mention eradicating the bandits, it is not impossible to abolish the establishment and re-establish the country.At that time, Li Shouhan will wear a yellow robe, and a man like Liao Dongzhi who follows the dragon must also be in the position of Hou Bo, with halberds painted on the door and hairpin tassels on the door.Who said that the poor boy in the countryside in eastern Guangdong couldn't become a marquis or earl?The founding emperor of the Ming court was a fake monk who was a beggar!After all, I am a good son of a farming family!

"Young Marshal, my lord has given the order, what should we do?" Liao Dongzhi asked Li Huayu for instructions in a questioning tone.

"When the army goes north, there are naturally a lot of things to plan. However, for the time being, we can't take care of the matter of welcoming the army to the north. It's better to wait for the immediate affairs to be done. In case our friends say that we have neglected him!" Li With a wave of the whip in Hua Yu's hand, the exquisite whip blew in his mouth, making the horse under his crotch a little restless.

On the distant skyline, a cloud of dust gradually appeared.As the distance got closer, the dust head became bigger and bigger. It was the wind and dust rolled up by thousands of horses galloping across the wilderness!

Seeing the sky full of loess rising in the distance, Li Huayu kept looking into the distance of the official road even though the rangers and messengers had already informed the visitors of the exact itinerary plan.It seems that if this is the case, he will be able to see the person sooner.

Seeing this, Liao Dongzhi smiled and said: "Young Commander, be safe and don't be impatient. The rangers ahead have already found out clearly. They only need two quarters of an hour to get here. This road is walked by foot, and it takes one step." Come." Although Li Huayu smiled wryly and said: "If someone else comes, I will sit in the Jinan government office and set up a banquet to sweep the couch. But this time it is him. With the current situation of the Shandong New Deal, his You have made great contributions. Moreover, this person is not only brave, but also resourceful, if I have him by my side to help you, why not worry about the big things not being done."

The group of people and horses galloping from afar could already see the flags clearly and distinguish the outlines of the people and horses in the field of vision.The flags rolled up by the flag bearers were also unfolded one by one under the command of the chief general. The words "One Dragon", "King" and other words immediately caught the eyes of Li Huayu and others on the surface of the flag that was torn apart by the wind.

The person who came was Luo Rucai's nephew, one of the former chief generals of the Dragon and Tiger Camp.The bandit is the one-stop Wang Long!

Not caring about talking much, Li Huayu pointed his whip, and the trumpets sounded immediately, and the two newly formed brigades who were waiting on the left and right wings suddenly stirred up a storm on the ground.Facing Wang Long's team from a distance, they rushed up.Passing by two or three miles away from Wang Long's marching brigade, the two troops quickly joined forces to dig trenches, build fortifications, and build artillery positions at the junction of Shandong and Henan. Amidst the shouts and curses of their respective officers, they lined up.Hold the gun tightly and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

From the report of the guard officer, Wang Long knew that the Nanyue Army had already started to clear the way for himself, and he did not have to worry about the fate of being hunted down. He could not help but let out a long breath, and the speed of the horse under his crotch gradually slowed down.

"Slow down the horse, don't be so flustered, as if I ran for my life and didn't care about anything!" Wang Long shouted at the generals and soldiers under him. Under his order, the team of thousands of people began to let go. The speed of the march was slowed down, and the troops and flags were constantly rectified during the march.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Li Huayu and others with the help of a telescope.After traveling thousands of miles, the team is so sleepy that it can be said to be on the verge of collapse. Under Wang Long's order, officers at all levels can continue to adjust the team, which shows Wang Long's ability to control his own army and the combat effectiveness of this army .

Seeing Wang Long's acknowledgment of the flag from far and near, Liao Dongzhi was also quite emotional.

"Abatai, the Liao bandit who harassed Shandong that day, joined forces with the religious bandit king Ke. They were cunning and traveled all over the place. There were also a large number of officials and gentry collaborating with the enemy. If Wang Long hadn't offered the strategy of turning the hard ground into a soft ground, our army would not have known what to do. How much time and energy it takes to retreat from the enemy."

At this time, E Kui, who was accompanying him, asked: "This man is so powerful, why didn't I know?" Liao Dongzhi glanced at him, and responded unhurriedly: "When Wang Long made great contributions to the young marshal , you are still in Liaodong, of course you don’t know. But you must be able to hit it off with Wang Long. This man is well-versed in the world, and he is good at training cavalry. You can also be regarded as a perfect match.”

E Kui said happily when he heard this: "That's good. If Wang Long is really capable, we will go to Shenyang to compete in the future to see who can copy Shenyang's Sao Dazi nest first."

After hearing E Kui's words, both Li Huayu and Liao Dongzhi were secretly speechless, thinking that you were from a decent Tartar family, and now you are killing Tartars without leaving your mouth.Just when they were secretly feeling, they heard one person say in extremely bad Chinese: "Yes, yes, I have long disliked Dorgon, a badger, and a fucking badger should be honest." I was actually slaughtered by my lord to eat meat, but now he still claims to be the regent, I bah, the eldest son didn't even claim the title of king, what kind of thing is he."

It was Tuha, the sentry officer under E Kui who spoke. His face was oily and smelled of wine, he was wearing triple armor, and he looked like an iron tower sitting on a horse.Although there is no cover in the mouth.But it made Liao Dongzhi and others feel quite reasonable after hearing it.

"Wow! Now that we are born in troubled times, even a cat or a dog can claim the title of king, why can't the lord, why can't the young commander?!"

"Tuha! You tartar! You drank too much in the morning again! You dare to talk nonsense in front of the young commander! See if I don't pick a big army stick to beat your ass when I go back!" Seeing his subordinates Talking nonsense in front of the young marshal.Although E Kui was also a face-saving person with Li Huayu, he was also quite frightened by Tu Ha's words.Immediately speak out and reprimand.

"It's okay to fight with army sticks, as long as we don't stop our wine and meat." Tu Ha didn't care at all, just grinning.Showing a smirk with yellow teeth.

"I still want wine and meat! You don't even have horse feed!"

For Tuha, having no wine and no meat was much more serious than beating him with dozens of army sticks. When he was about to plead for mercy, E Kui was already looking straight ahead. She had no choice but to shut her mouth sensibly.

When the march was two or three miles away from Li Huayu's main formation, Wang Long chose a place where the wind was gathering energy and the lee was facing the sun, ordering the troops to stop advancing, and Yuan dismounted to rest.Quartermasters, military medical officers and others from Shandong, who had already been waiting nearby, swarmed forward with baggage trucks, kitchen trucks, and medicine boxes on their backs to provide medical treatment for this group of people who had come thousands of miles away.Distribute quilts.Even those chief stewards who cook set up their cooking carts in the wild and start cooking soup.

The field was filled with the smell of food and it was very lively. The medical officers also checked the wounds of these injured people and re-bandaged them.Wang Long looked at this scene, and suddenly a burst of warmth came to his heart.He ordered his subordinates to rest in place, and led dozens of personal soldiers to Li Huayu on horseback.

"The eldest son is willing to take risks and help a certain family when they are in dire straits. Wang Long will never forget this kindness and kindness!"

Li Huayu saw that Wang Long came with only dozens of soldiers, so he understood what he meant.Immediately added a whip, and led a dozen relatives to greet him casually.When the two prime ministers met each other, Wang Long jumped off his horse and bowed to give a deep salute.

Li Huayu was also unwilling to accept his worship.Dang even dismounted sideways, stepped forward, and bowed to Wang Long in the same way.Taking this opportunity, Li Huayu could take a closer look at Wang Long's changes.

It stands to reason that the time between Wang Long and the Eldest Prince was not too long, but when they met this time, Li Huayu discovered that Wang Long had some white hair on his head.Can't help but feel a little sad.When I saw Wang Long for the first time, Wang Long was full of youthful vigor, and his eyes were always shining with sly light, but now, his eyes were full of wind and frost.Although he was wearing an iron helmet on his head, gauze and a trace of blood were faintly exposed on the edge of the iron helmet. It could be seen that it was the mark left by Wang Long after the continuous battle.The same is true for the dozens of soldiers behind Wang Long. Although they have gone through a lot of grooming and tried their best to look energetic, how can they hide their exhausted expressions and cover their arms and legs? , wounds on the body?

However, in Wang Long's eyes, although the eldest son carefully dressed his appearance, his cheeks were a little thin, and he couldn't hide the dark circles under his eyes. There were also a few silver threads faintly shining under the golden crown.It was a short parting, but seeing each other was like being separated for decades. It is conceivable that both of them have experienced hardships and hardships.

After looking at each other for a while, Wang Long sighed and said: "I haven't seen each other for more than a year. At the beginning, Wang Long was in Shandong under the command of the eldest son, and he was famous. Today, he is reduced to a poor man. It's really embarrassing to see him." Li Huayu Shaking his head, he said: "A dragon is still a dragon, even if its claws and scales are broken, it is still a dragon! This land of Qilu is the Eastern sea of ​​your king dragon. Today the dragon returns to the sea, and there will be a career in the future." .”

Wang Long nodded and said: "I brought the remnants to Shandong. One of them asked to take shelter under the command of the eldest son. The two also had the same intention. There were still people who should be killed but not killed that day. Fulfill the long-cherished wish, and return the eldest son and Liang Guogong to a bright future."

Li Huayu also nodded and said: "I also have the same intention. You and I will work together to achieve a great cause, and we will surely create a new world. I have already thought about the future. I am going to imitate what I did at the beginning and give you a wandering dragon." The number of the battalion, and then choose elite soldiers to supplement your troops, I believe that within a few months, Youlongying will be able to cross Shandong again and be invincible.”

"Since I have taken shelter under the command of the Eldest Young Master, I will naturally follow the arrangement of the Eldest Young Master. As for the Youlongying, from my point of view, it is better to just follow the establishment of the Eldest Young Master's headquarters..."

Before Wang Longba expressed his willingness to reorganize his troops according to the military system of the Southern Guangdong Army, everyone felt that the ground under their feet was trembling continuously.In the distance, the rangers kept releasing their guns, and it was obvious that a large group of people came to kill them!
