Ming Zuo

Chapter 476 Unexpected News

The group of people who appeared in the tavern were Gao Qiqian and his gang.

After being stopped by the new army in Pingyuan County that day, Gao Qiqian obeyed the advice of his subordinates and made a detour to the east, preparing to cross the wilderness.

But I didn't expect that within fifty miles, I ran into a group of rioters.

This group of rioters was very vicious, and when they saw them, they rushed forward.What is even more frightening is that these rioters actually still have firecrackers in their hands.

Several of Gao Qiqian's subordinates were killed on the spot, and they ran away in fright.

Fortunately, they all had horses, so they escaped with their lives.

After this incident, Gao Qiqian was as fearful of the chaos in Shandong as a snake and a scorpion.

In fact, he didn't know at all that those who stopped them were not rioters at all, but the militia of the new army.

The Luxi Plain is thousands of miles away, extending in all directions, and the main force of the new army is dealing with the Eastern General's rebels. There is no extra troops for defense, so a large number of militias have been deployed outside the official roads.

The east road is blocked, and it is impossible to return here.

Gao Qiqian was not reconciled, thought about it, and decided to make a detour from the west side.

After returning to Dezhou, go all the way south along the canal official road, to Wucheng, and then to Linqing.

As a result, the route was calm and there was nothing blocking them, which allowed them to appear here.

But when they arrived in Linqing, their knowledge began to be impacted.

"Master, I've been to Linqing before, it's not like this. Why are the city walls gone?"

The high dive is also ignorant.

Although he has never been to Linqing, he also knows that there is no city in the world without a city wall.

Especially in Shandong, since the establishment of Ming Dynasty, there has been no peace, and people rebelled every now and then, so the defensive function of the city has always been considered.

As a result, Linqing in front of them gave them a big surprise.

In a city without city walls, the roads extend in all directions, and there are no checkpoints to allow people to come in and out.

With a slightly flustered mood, a group of people walked into Linqing, came to this tavern for dinner, and then encountered a second wave of shock.

"Abolition of Slavery"

The handwriting on it is clear and clear.

In Linqing, from now on, it is not allowed to keep slaves and servants, and at the same time, the lower-class status of actors, prostitutes, etc. will be cancelled.

From now on, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low.

The four big words "everyone is equal" rushed up and down and made my head dizzy.

No slaves allowed?
Then wouldn't he, the No. [-] servant in Tianzi, have no food to eat?

Why did the local government dare to do this?

Aren't you afraid of losing your head?
The comments of other guests in the tavern made him realize that the people here not only did not feel panic, but warmly supported it.

this place...

eccentric.

It's so weird.

As the shopkeeper said, this tavern is really lively when it's time for dinner.

Someone came into the store again, and it was still five soldiers.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly winked at his subordinates, telling them to be more vigilant.

In his subconscious mind, if Wu Fuqiu entered a restaurant, then nothing good would happen.

Not giving money for drinking and eating is common, and extortion is even more normal.

No way, the shopkeeper is going to lose his fortune today.

Whether the disaster can be eliminated depends on the mood of these Qiu Ba.

I just hope it doesn't get into trouble with him.

Who would have thought that seeing these Qiu Bas coming in, not only the shopkeeper, but the rest of the guests didn't feel nervous at all, they should still eat and laugh, as if these were not Qiu Ba who did evil, but the air.

"Boss, do you still recognize me?"

"Hey, aren't you Commander Shen? I heard that you went to fight on the Eastern Front, why are you back?"

Another man in military uniform gave an explanation.

"Shopkeeper, you don't know yet, do you? Our Battalion Commander Shen came back this time and went to the military academy to study, the advanced class."

The shopkeeper immediately slapped his hands.

"Hey, so Battalion Commander Shen is going to be promoted?"

The man waved his hands again and again, appearing to be humble, but his face was flushed red, revealing his emotions.

"It can't be said that it is good to have the opportunity to learn and improve."

With that said, a few people sat down very well.

"When I was fighting on the Eastern Front, I was always thinking about your pancakes. Bring us some, I'm really hungry."

"Yes, yes, as much as you want, it's enough."

When the shopkeeper went to give orders, the guests at the table next to him came up with wine glasses.

"This military master, please."

Seeing this, "Battle Commander Shen" waved his hands quickly.

"This old man, I'm really sorry. There are regulations in the army that you are not allowed to drink alcohol."

The guest laughed and apologized quickly.

"Mine, mine, I can't pay the military master."

Battalion Commander Shen didn't think he was disobedient.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

The guest showed a sad expression.

"Let you talk. My fourth son is also in the army now, and he is also fighting on the Eastern Front. I haven't believed this for a long time, and we are very flustered. I just want to ask the military master, how is it going over there? "

It was this.

"Brother, don't worry. The battle ahead is going smoothly, and our army basically has no casualties. The Dongjiang rebels are just a bunch of mobs, and they are not enough for us to fight."

Hearing this, the guest let out a big sigh of relief.

The son travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

"I heard that Dengzhou and Laizhou were defeated on the eastern front, and a battle was also fought on the western front. When will the beasts in Dongjiang be wiped out?"

Battalion Commander Shen chuckled, and said ambiguously, "Isn't my brother clear about our new army? Don't worry, it will be soon."

The seemingly ordinary conversation revealed a lot of information.

At least Gao Qiqian and his group were all dumbfounded.

what's the situation?
The Dongjiang rebels were defeated?

Dengzhou and Laizhou were recovered?
Who did it?
......................................................

After the first month, Shandong has gradually become warmer.

The road is civilized, a little muddy, and it is quite difficult to walk.

Sitting in the carriage, watching Li Xiangjun holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other, biting the pen and frowning, Li Zhenli's thoughts drifted outside the carriage.

When she opened the curtain of the car, she saw Zuo Menggeng riding on a tall horse, walking very hard.

"Commander, the weather is extremely cold and the roads are difficult, why not... how about taking a rest in the car?"

The eyes of the people around quickly became ambiguous.

Zuo Menggeng declined.

"It's okay, we men are physically strong, these are nothing."

Li Zhenli's cheeks were hot, but she didn't want to give up yet.

"The commander-in-chief is also the most important thing in the world, how can he not cherish it?"

Zuo Menggeng laughed, his eyes were like candlelight.

"Haven't you heard a saying? The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of a sword comes from sharpening. Hiding in a warm environment, you can't exercise a strong body."

Li Zhenli felt lost.

No one is a fool.

She has given up her face greatly, and invited her twice in a row, but was rejected both times.

The meaning of the man in front of him is obvious enough.

She silently lowered the curtains, lost in thought for the first time in her own charm.
