I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 80 Prelude to the Battle of the Boundary River

Chapter 079

"Kong Er!"

Li Jiuzheng is naturally aware of the relationship between Lou Shi and Kong Youde. Kong Youde is a person with clear grievances and grievances. He will repay whoever is kind to him.Lou Shitou and Lou Jian helped Kong Youde in his most difficult time.

Kong Youde tried every means to repay his kindness.

"Marshal, I know what you're worried about. I'm not confused"

Although Kong Youde launched the Zhaoyuan rebellion, the leader of this army was actually not him, but Li Jiuzheng.Kong Youde, who was born in the 30th year of Wanli, is only 29 years old this year. He is three years younger than Cheng Shijie, and he is already a member of the third-rank cavalry army.

It can also be regarded as young and promising.

There was no sadness on Kong Youde's face. He took off his cloak and wrapped Lou Shitou's body.Kong Youde picked up the legless and headless corpse, and said flatly, "Stone, you are too light..."

Li Jiucheng said: "Ying Yuan!"

"exist!"

"You take the cavalry and find out how good this army is!"

"Yes!"

Kong Youde hugged Lou Shi's incomplete body tightly, as if holding some kind of treasure.

"Marshal, although Shitou is not good at words, but he has been in battle for a long time, and he dares to fight and fight. He can be regarded as a general talent?"

"That's it!"

"As far as Laizhou Wei and Dengzhou are concerned, can the stone suffer?"

"It shouldn't be possible!"

"This is the key. I'm afraid that this official army will come from bad people!"

Kong Youde turned around and walked towards the distance. As he walked further and further away, his voice was very clear: "Shuai Mao often doesn't say that he doesn't have diamonds, he doesn't do porcelain work, and he can wipe out all the officers and soldiers under Shitou. Prepare early!"

Regardless of whether Li Jiuzheng listened to it or not, Kong Youde didn't want to care about it anymore. The most important thing for him was to bury his good brother.

In fact, Kong Youde's life was not easy.

He didn't know who his father was, and neither did his mother.

He only knew that since he could remember, his mother never mentioned his father's name or his deeds.He was raised by his widow mother.

Later, when he was six years old, his mother remarried and married a man named Li Laoxia. However, his mother did not let him have the same surname as Li Laoxia, but gave him the surname Kong, with a surname of Li. Germany.

Li Laoxia is a very cowardly man. His name comes from the fact that he never meddles in his own business. Even if someone kills and sets fire in front of Li Laoxia, he always turns a blind eye .

However, Li Laoxia's life was not good. Only a few years later, Li Laoxia died of illness. Kong Youde, who was ten years old at the time, took on the serious injury of supporting his family. Brother and sister, he went into the mountains to hunt, let go of sheep for the landlord, and went down the river to catch fish.

Finally, when Kong Youde grew older, he managed to barely live a life of food and clothing.

Sun Chengzong served as the governor of Jiliao, and offered a fortress strategy and a three-sided blockade plan. These three sides are the North Korean side, and the Dongjiang Army is responsible for the blockade.In the direction of Guangning, the Guanning Army is responsible for the blockade. In the direction of Shandong, it is divided into inside and outside the Great Wall, with Datong Town in charge of the inside, and Lin Danhan of Mongolia outside the Great Wall.

Since then, Jiannu has been unable to obtain any supplies from Daming. It happened that there was a severe drought in Liaodong at that time. To make matters worse, there was a rare snow disaster in winter, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death.Even the grain smuggled to Shenyang has been soaring to eight taels of silver per bucket, which is equivalent to 80 taels of silver per stone, and the highest record has been sold at more than 160 taels of silver per stone.

It is almost one tael of silver per catty of grain, which is even more serious than the tragic scene recorded in the history books: "The left is hungry in Guanzhong, the rice is worth ten thousand dollars, and the sons of Yizi eat each other".In this case, the old wild boar skin ordered the massacre of people without food.

As a result, more than 400 million people in Liaodong were killed, leaving only more than 100 million people. These people took advantage of the chaos and fled to Dongjiang Town to follow Mao Wenlong.

At that time, Kong Youde, who was just 20 years old, was robbed of all the food in his family and his whole family was killed. He was the only one who survived. However, he was really unlucky and was caught as a miner in the mine.In fact, it is the kind of slave who has no wages and only cares about food, and no matter how full he is, he only has two meals a day.

After four full years of darkness.During the narrow escape, Mao Wenlong and Zhang Pan, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town at the time, led the Dongjiang Army to attack Tieshan Fort before saving him.

Mao Wenlong considered him pitiful and adopted him as his adopted grandson.

One of the things Kong Youde regretted most in his life was when Mao Wenlong was killed. He heard the words of Chen Jisheng, then deputy general, that the Dongjiang Army was not Mao Wenlong’s private army, but the Dongjiang Army was Ming’s Dongjiang Army. Mao Wenlong was guilty. Unforgivable sin!
In Mao Wenlong's era, although the Dongjiang army was poor, they were twisted into one rope, which could threaten Jiannu's rear, and Jiannu had to return home many times.More importantly, the Dongjiang Army has goals, pursuits, ideals, and hopes.

Sadly, that's all gone.

In order to live with his brothers under his command, he defected to Sun Yuanhua.But Sun Yuanhua only used him instead of paying attention to him. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned his back on him after suffering all kinds of stares and neglect.

The original plan was to take Zhaoyuan City, expand the trilogy, and then go to Cheng Shijie who occupied Dengzhou City, but as their troops fought more and more people, Li Jiuzheng, the leader, changed his mood and was unwilling to follow Cheng Shijie Be a younger brother.

Although Li Jiuzheng didn't tell him, he saw that Lou Shi's body wounds were caused by firearms. Sun Yuanhua was controlled by Cheng Shijie in Dengzhou. If Cheng Shijie was not a fool, he would definitely recruit or dismember Sun Yuanhua's Denglai new army.

It also means that the army that is best at using firearms in Shandong no longer exists, but Lou Shi died under the blow of firearms, which can only explain one problem, Cheng Shijie is here.

Whether Cheng Shijie and Sun Yuanhua reached a settlement condition, or Cheng Shijie wanted to grab the territory, it doesn't matter. What is important is that Cheng Shijie is here, at least the elite Ning Navy troops under his command are here.

Under such circumstances, Li Jiuzheng still wants to preserve his strength and take the opportunity to seize Laizhou City. It is useless to occupy Laizhou and Jinan.

The tragic death of his former companion and brother turned Kong Youde into a human being.

Kong Youde put Lou Jian's mutilated body on a pile of firewood, poured oil on it, and set it on fire.

Looking at his brother who was already on fire, Kong Youde recalled the past while drinking.

People in Jianghu have too many scruples.

Now there is one less person who Kong Youde is scruples about.

Back then, Mao Wenlong, who had been kind to him, was killed by Yuan Chonghuan and slandered as a traitor. He endured it. Now, another person who had saved him has also died.

Kong Youde made up his mind, and he didn't want to bear it any longer.

Just as Lou Jian's body was reduced to ashes, Kong Youde asked someone to find a small porcelain vase, and he picked up the ashes which were still warm with his hands, and put them into the porcelain vase.

Put the ashes in the porcelain bottle, Kong Youde put the cork on the porcelain bottle, then wrapped the porcelain bottle with a piece of brocade, and tied it to his chest, Kong Youde muttered to himself: "Stone, my brother once told you that I have a I will never starve you, my brother made a slip of the tongue, and what he said, he regarded it as fart! Brother, let me give you one last promise, if we brothers can’t share wealth, then we will die together.”

Li Shaoan came to Kong Youde on horseback, behind him was Zhao Wencai who came to inquire, and behind Zhao Wencai was Qiao Siniang, a new subordinate who was loyal to Kong Youde.

Qiao Siniang was only one step away from meeting Cheng Shijie's troops. When the news of Lou Jian's death came, the rebel army she led was in Luoshan Township, fifty miles west of Linglong Town.

In fact, Liu Qingsong's troops did not completely wipe out Lou Jian's troops, but some of the rebel soldiers dispersed at once. After encountering the defeated soldiers of Lou Jian's troops, Qiao Siniang knew that her mission was over. .

Qiao Siniang returned the same way with her own part and prepared a gift for Cheng Shijie.

"General!"

Kong Youde got up slowly, looked at Li Shaoan and Zhao Wencai, took out the porcelain vase containing the ashes from his bosom and said, "The stone is broken, it's a pity there's only so much left, this general wants revenge!"

Li Shaoan and Zhao Wencai said in unison: "We must take revenge!"

Although Kong Youde enshrined Li Jiu as the master and called him the commander-in-chief, the essence of their rebel army has always been in Kong Youde's hands.Especially the cavalry of Kong Youde's headquarters, the number of horses and equipment seized during this period has increased to more than one thousand and one hundred.

There is no way, cavalry is more difficult to train than archers, if there is no foundation of riding, they will not be able to train in a short time.There are no horses.

Kong Youde walked up to Qiao Siniang, looked at Qiao Siniang and said, "You don't have to go, you have no friendship with Shitou, and he doesn't need you for his revenge!"

Kong Youde faced Cheng Shijie, but he was not sure of victory.

Although the time for Cheng Shijie's rise was extremely short, the problem was that Song Xiance used the means of the world for a while to promote Cheng Shijie's benevolence, righteousness and fighting spirit.

While making Cheng Shijie famous, he also made many people fear him.

Kong Youde is one of them. What Kong Youde fears about Cheng Shijie is that he can control Dengzhou City without anyone noticing. Dengzhou City is different from Laizhou City. There are only four guards of thousands of households in Laizhou City. In Dengzhou city, there were six thousand households and more than [-] elite Denglai new troops, only in Dengzhou city, plus Sun Yuanhua's Fubiao pro-army, and Geng Zhongming's troops.

Until now, Geng Zhongming has not sent a word of news, which shows that Geng Zhongming has not been free yet.

It is really difficult to be able to do this.

Cheng Shijie is really difficult to deal with.

This time he went with the intention of dying together, so he didn't want Qiao Siniang to die with him.

As the saying goes, Qin Hui is also the best friend of the three, and Kong Youde is so kind to his own people, he can confide in his heart, trust him without reservation, and he can also give his back to the other party.

This is his charisma.

In history, Kong Youde was in the Dengzhou Rebellion, even in the end, there were still more than [-] soldiers and civilians willing to follow him to cross the sea and surrender to Huang Taiji.In that case, as long as he has no personal charm and can firmly control the army, the rebel soldiers can completely tie Kong Youde, or kill him, and surrender to the Ming army.

Such examples are not uncommon, just like Gao Yingxiang, the first Chuang Wang in the late Ming Dynasty. After he was defeated by Sun Chuanting, he fled with the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers. Gao Yingxiang was seriously injured and hid in a cave. Although he was miserable at the time, Much better than Li Zicheng at the worst time, Gao Yingxiang still had hundreds of confidants, and Li Zicheng had only eighteen cavalry around him at the worst time.

However, Zhang Luzi next to Gao Yingxiang betrayed him. When the army was about to withdraw, he found the army and took Gao Yingxiang alive, and sent him to the capital to be Lingchi.Zhang Jiao was also betrayed and had to hastily rise up...

Qiao Siniang took out the dagger and pressed it against her throat. She didn't say a word, but her attitude was extremely firm.

Kong Youde distributed the captured silver and money to the direct descendants of the subordinates, and then killed the captured cattle and sheep, and made the grain into dry food. He rushed towards Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun.

……

As the main force of the rebel army moved westward, Cheng Shijie succeeded in recovering Zhaoyuan County, which had been captured by the rebel army, almost effortlessly. Although the attack targeted wealthy and powerful families, there were not a few ordinary people who were affected.

When the soldiers of the Ning Navy entered the city, the entire county was crying, and the streets were covered with mottled blood. After being frozen, it turned into a maroon purple under the sunlight.

I also don't know how Jia Yong, magistrate of Zhaoyuan County, survived the pursuit of Kong Youde's rebels, and he was not alone, followed by dozens of well-dressed, fat-headed gentry, who prepared a heavy gift , Greet Ning Haijun and Cheng Shijie.

County magistrate Jia did not despise and be arrogant to Cheng Shijie because he was a military officer, because he also knew that Cheng Shijie was originally Zuo Qianhu of Dengzhou Wei more than three months ago, and then Qianhu worked for less than a month. Zuo Qianhu was promoted to the garrison of the navy, and Ning's navy was on the garrison for just over two months, and he wiped out dozens of bandits one after another, which can be said to be a great military exploit.

Now, Cheng Shijie has been promoted to lieutenant general, governor of the Denglai New Army and Dengzhou Navy. This position is Sun Yuanhua's number one general and his confidant.

Such a military officer must never be offended.Otherwise, try someone else, even if the rebels have just left and may come back at any time, Jia Yong will not treat him well.

The world is so hot and cold.When Qi Jiguang became a member of Zhang Ju's main gate, with Zhang Ju as his backer, who would dare to block Qi Jiguang's food?Who dares to give him eye drops?
However, Zhang Juzheng lost power on the front foot, and Qi Jiguang was impeached on the back foot. A small sixth-rank official took Qi Jiguang to go fishing in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cheng Shijie didn't know what Jia Yong was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't explain it. Isn't this asking for trouble for himself?

Jia Yong kept saluting to Cheng Shijie: "Cheng Shuai personally led the army, relieved the siege of Zhaoyuan, and rescued the people of Zhaoyuan County from the fire and water. This kind of righteousness is rare in the world. I thank Cheng Shuai for the people of the county for their great kindness!"

Cheng Shijie has not yet officially received the imperial decree from the imperial court, nor has he been appointed by the Ministry of Officials, but Sun Yuanhua has announced the order of the governor's yamen. Within his scope of power, Cheng Shijie has been promoted. It will be.

The gentry from Zhaoyuan saluted one after another: "Thank you Cheng Shuai for personally leading the troops to help. I will never forget the grace of life!"

Zhang Yu, who was standing on Cheng Shijie's half-shoulder position, had an extra gift list in his hand, which stated that he would reward the military with 2 taels of silver, [-] shi of grain, and some cloth.

Cheng Shijie was a little surprised when he saw this scene, how did Kong Youde change his sex?

Actually left so much property to the big gentry in Zhaoyuan?
In fact, it is not that Kong Youde is kind or soft. There were no banks in ancient times, and depositing money in banks not only cannot generate interest, but has to pay handling fees.

Therefore, under such circumstances, many large households have built two or even three silver vaults, open and dark, and eggs are not placed in the same basket. This is the way of life for Chinese people.

In fact, even though Chen Guodong searched the Zhang family in Laiyang all over the place in Laiyang County, he still didn’t copy Zhang’s name completely. The silver is only a part of Zhang’s family. After losing the money, Zhang’s family will get another 30 taels of silver. It's still possible to come out.

This secret money, not to mention that the family members and their main members do not know, only the previous family heads are qualified to know this secret.

Do you know why those ancestors were very prominent in the period of the Republic of China, and after all the catastrophes, those big families still rose rapidly in just a few decades?It is one aspect that their descendants have real skills, and the most important thing is that they have family background and original start-up capital.

(To make a digression, there is an ancestor in Lao Cheng's hometown who was a big landlord. Now he is still the richest man in the town, with hundreds of millions of assets, and his family history has always been a mystery.)
Cheng Shijie forced a smile, and said: "Master Jia, you gentlemen, you don't have to be so polite. As a military officer, Cheng has the responsibility to keep the territory of Denglai peaceful. This officer is duty-bound. In fact, this officer just ran along for a while. The one who really did his best was the Commander of the Right Capital Division of Ning Haijun, Mr. Zhang Yuzhang. Unbelievable!"

However, Jia Yong just bowed to Zhang Yu with a very arrogant attitude: "Thank you Commander Zhang for leading the army to help, thank you very much!"

Jia Yong's attitude was very perfunctory, so perfunctory that even a blind man felt it was fake.

When Jia Yong looked at Cheng Shijie, he had a sincere smile on his face: "Cheng Shuai worked hard on the expedition, and it was very hard. I will prepare a little wine in the city, and reward Cheng Shuai. Please give Cheng Shuai a favor!"

In fact, Cheng Shijie had lost his appetite. He didn't want to agree at first, but he suddenly remembered a very important thing. He was going to southern Liaoning. Now southern Liaoning is barren, not to mention talents, there are not many people.If you want to develop in southern Liaoning, you definitely need people who can read and write.

Although it is said that most of the literate people are big gentry and their personalities are mixed, but as a pragmatic government official, Cheng Shijie has always believed in the development strategy and route of Hansteel Group. In the end, we will try our best to improve the efficiency, and finally the problem of catching up with the first-class.

First, I fooled a few scholars from Zhaoyuan, and when they arrived in southern Liaoning, they were like dragons who wanted to coil up, or tigers who wanted to lie down, and they could turn upside down in southern Liaoning.

Cheng Shijie looked at Jia Yong and said, "That... Mr. Jia, I still have important matters to do, and I need Mrs. Jia's help."

Jia Yong asked, "I don't know what Cheng Shuai means..."

"I've heard that Zhaoyuan has outstanding people, and the commander-in-chief still lacks a few sages who will accompany the army as military counselors. I wonder if Mr. Jia can recommend one or two?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the gentry present were whetted by Cheng Shijie's carrot.

The current governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, did not pass the Jinshi examination. He served as a military counselor with Sun Chengzong, and then with Yuan Chonghuan as a military counselor.

This is a shortcut.

You know, this imperial examination is really not easy. In the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, every three years, it would be good if more than a dozen people from the whole province can get in.

In later generations, Tsinghua University and Peking University still recruit more than 400 people even in Henan, a province with a large college entrance examination.

Jia Yong's eyes lit up, this Cheng Shuai is not simple, it is simply a chance to make money quietly, although it is not a formal official position to be a military counselor with the army, but he can take the opportunity to become an official and follow Sun Chengzong with his background Mao Yuanyi, who was also born in Juren, became the deputy general of the Funing Navy (now Qinhuangdao), starting from the second-rank military position.

The eyes of the gentry present met in the air, and their eyes became eager.

After a sumptuous and extravagant dinner, Cheng Shijie recruited eleven aides from Zhaoyuan County, Dengzhou Prefecture. Four of them were Qin Chengbo from the Qin Family in Linglong Town, Sun Benju from the Shahe Sun Family, Huixian Lu Conglong from the town, and Ma Shilin, the county magistrate Jia Yong's brother-in-law.

Bringing these eleven handsome new staff members in green clothes and long gowns, Cheng Shijie also received gifts from the families of these eleven staff members. They must have discussed it well.Those who have the reputation of being a scholar will offer 3000 taels of silver, and those who have the reputation of being a scholar will be given 5000 taels of silver.

A total of 1000 taels of silver was collected, which was a windfall.

Cheng Shijie laughed secretly, this is the tragedy of a small place, if these gentry can follow Sun Yuanhua's path, they will spend less money than this, and become more officials than Cheng Shijie can give them.

When they arrived at the temporary station of the Ning Navy Barracks, Cheng Shijie quickly assigned them tasks. The oldest, Sun Benju, was 45 years old.

Cheng Shijie arranged for Sun Benju to take three scholars to manage the food and grass in the army. Cheng Shijie was not afraid of him working together, because Ning Haijun's distribution of supplies was transparent, and the military salary was also transparent. Soldiers know it, and so do others.

How much food they can eat every day, and how much accompanying food (dishes) they can eat are all fixed. They didn't have it at the beginning, but now they have figured it out.

As for Qin Chengbo, he led three scholars to be responsible for the statistics and entry of military merits.

Lu Conglong was in charge of the management of ordnance and gave Jia county magistrate face. His brother-in-law Ma Shilin and two scholars followed Cheng Shijie in charge of official documents and order recording.

Every command issued by Cheng Shijie will be recorded in the record to facilitate inquiries if there is a problem.

You have no jokes, and the army also has no jokes.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, there is no trace of the rebels in the fifty miles around Zhaoyuan County!"

"These traitors are probably scared away after hearing the commander-in-chief's prestige..."

Ma Shilin, Cheng Shijie's new military counselor, immediately offered a flattery.

"That's not the case! This just means that the rebels are gathering troops and preparing to fight our army!"

"decisive battle?"

"That's right, it's time for a decisive battle!"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "Kong Youde's troops have 2 troops, they have won consecutive battles, and their morale is high. There is absolutely no reason to be afraid of the more than [-] Ning Navy under my command!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie said: "Order, Liu Qingsong's department is the right wing, Zhou Ning's department is the right wing, Zhang Yu, you guard the rear, let's meet Kong Youde."

"Marshal..." Ma Shilin said urgently, "Are we leaving Zhaoyuan County?"

"Of course!"

"But, leaving the city..."

"Are we very dangerous without the protection of the city?"

Cheng Shijie smiled disapprovingly and said, "Kong Youde is not a fool either. If he sees that the commander-in-chief refuses to defend the city, he will definitely continue to mop up the big families and powerful people around him. By then, how many gentry families will be ruined!"

Although Cheng Shijie was not worried about the life and death of these gentry, the problem was that he didn't want to waste time in Shandong.He has to get to Golden State as soon as possible.Build new bases.

As the weather will get colder, later there will be more difficulties.

Ning Haijun left Zhaoyuan County. Although Ning Haijun only had more than 50.00 soldiers, he had more than [-] rebel prisoners. These rebel prisoners were very worried when they were captured.When they confessed their crimes to Ning Haijun, all the captives who did not kill will become Ning Haijun's military households. When they are in the field, Ning Haijun provides seeds, farming tools, and fields. They only need to be responsible for farming , [-]% of the annual income is handed over.

Cheng Shijie thought that he was black-hearted enough, but the captives immediately boiled over. Isn't this kind of punishment the same as being a tenant to the landlord?
Being a tenant to the landlord, although it is also [-]% of the rent, but this [-]% of the rent is fixed, and it is set according to the harvest year. In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the tenant may go bankrupt.

The land rent of military households in Ning Haijun's fields is adjusted annually according to the total income, which is much more flexible than that of landlords, and the risks are shared by both parties.

Is this punishment?
No, this is to give them a way to survive.

As for those who kill people, they will be divided into different parties and situations. Three, five, ten, and 15 years of punishment will be given, which is called reform through labor.During the period of labor reform, they had no wages and no income. They could only work, but they could eat enough.

When they were divided into thirty hundred households, they began to line up to eat, rice and pickles.The rice is brown rice, and the pickles are old pickles. If you are lucky, you can get a piece of salted fish. If you are unlucky, you only have pickles or salted cabbage. Compared with the meals of Ning Navy soldiers, this kind of food is simple.

But for these ordinary rebel soldiers, it was simply a luxury. They devoured them one by one, wishing they could stuff their bowls into their stomachs together!Some people were not full after eating one bowl, so they dared to go over and ask if they could have another half bowl.At this moment, everyone was eager to try, and after a meal, these prisoners were already honest.

Life was not easy at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be nice to have a way to survive. They were willing to rebel with Kong Youde just to survive. As for those who were going to fish in troubled waters, perhaps with ambitions, they had been reported and they would never have the chance to fish in troubled waters again.

Three thousand Ning naval soldiers and more than three thousand captives, a total of more than one thousand and six hundred carts full of food and finances, were mighty and mighty, all the way to the west.

The county magistrate Jia and all the gentry in Zhaoyuan County are like mourning concubines.

On November [-]th of the fourth year of Chongzhen, that is, [-] days after the Ning Navy launched the mutiny, and the ninth day after Kong Youde's rebellion, the officers and men of the Ning Navy marched to the Jiehe River in the northwest of Zhaoyuan County.

The boundary river was the junction of Qucheng and Jinxian counties when it was in the lower reaches of the river, and it has been called boundary river since the Han Dynasty.

Just when Cheng Shijie was about to fall asleep, the walkie-talkie placed in front of him made noise.

"Scout Team C reports!"

"speak!"

"A large rebel army was found in the direction of Luoshan. There are more than 2000 horses, all of whom are cavalry!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Investigate again and report again!"

Then, Cheng Shijie picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Ning Haijun: "Arrangement along the Hexi border, the rebels are here, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Although the boundary river was not wide at this time, the ice was not too severe, and it was still impossible to cross the river on horseback. The most important thing was that the slope of the boundary river was very steep, and it was not easy to attack from behind in a detour.

The Ning navy soldiers quickly lined up. They quickly inserted their spears on the ground according to their training, and pointed diagonally at the direction of the enemy attacking from the opposite side.Then between the long spears, the crossbow shooter and the thunderbolt shooter were making intense preparations before firing.

Cheng Shijie left the carriage and saloon and came to the front of the battle.

Ma Shilin is indeed a person who is good at observing words and deeds. Two scholars and four soldiers under his supervision are struggling to carry a long case unloaded from a cart, while he himself is carrying a grand master's chair.

Needless to say, these things were also sent by the gentry in Zhaoyuan County.

Cheng Shijie really wanted to bring this table case to future generations. This long table, which is about two feet long and four feet wide, is actually made of red sandalwood, with exquisite patterns carved on it.It's just that this table is too heavy, it's a pity to disassemble it, and Cheng Shijie can't carry the whole table by himself.

The long table is placed in front of the formation, covered with a tablecloth, and then using the tablecloth as a shield, a small stove is placed on the left and right under the table, and the Taishi chair is also made of rosewood, with a cushion made of tiger skin on it.

Without Cheng Shijie's instructions, a pot of tea was brewed and placed in front of Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie sat on the grand master's chair, with two stoves in front of his legs, which was very warm and very comfortable.

Now he finally understands why all leaders like flatterers, because flatterers are so good at handling things. He has been the garrison of Ning Haijun for more than two months. There are more than [-] people in Ning Haijun, and none of them have thought about it. Do.

However, on the first day Ma Shilin came here, Cheng Shijie didn't need to say a word, and he served Cheng Shijie properly and comfortably.

Cheng Shijie picked up the teacup, the water temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold.

Just as Cheng Shijie put down the teacup, the tea in the teacup rippled layer by layer, and as time went by, the waves became bigger and bigger.

You don't even have to look to know that the rebel cavalry has arrived.

Cheng Shijie picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and saw densely packed cavalry in the fields in the distance. These cavalry were well-armored, and almost all of them held sabers. The thousand or so cavalry in the front had fierce eyes and a hostile look. pressing.

The leader, a bearded man, did not immediately order the cavalry to attack.

Cheng Shijie wanted him to attack. In the current weather environment, even if Ning Haijun soldiers put on gloves, they couldn't last long in the field.

The cavalry on the opposite side dismounted one after another. After dismounting, they began to feed the horses with the beans stored under the horse's neck.

At this moment, Cheng Shijie had an inexplicable feeling of being on his back. Cheng Shijie had experienced this kind of feeling. At that time, he was at the critical moment when he was promoted from a deputy department to a senior department. A colleague with a good relationship invited him to drink wine.

Originally, Cheng Shijie was ready to leave, but at that time Cheng Jiayue suddenly had difficulty breathing, her little face was flushed, and she hurriedly sent Cheng Jiayue to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, it was discovered that Cheng Jiayue accidentally found Xiang Huizhi's diarrhea medicine from the bedside table. If you understand, just take this medicine wrapped in syrup.

Fortunately, with good luck, it was discovered in time and there were no major problems.What's even more weird is that the party that was going to participate in the banquet was a nasty one, and the wife of the person who was treating guests reported it to him during the banquet. All four men and five women who participated in the banquet were all arrested.If Cheng Shijie participated, he wouldn't be able to escape at all, and the matter of Sheng Zhengke must be a scandal.

As time went by, Cheng Shijie's feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense, and his eyebrows twitched.

Finally, Cheng Shijie thought of the crux of the problem. Kong Youde was a cavalry officer of the Dongjiang Army, so he knew very well, not to mention their cavalry, even the elite cavalry of Jiannu would not dare to attack the fortified formation of the Ning Navy. The only possibility is that he Use other methods, first disturb their formation, and then charge into the formation, and the final decision is made.

The way of thinking was opened, and Cheng Shijie thought of the key to the problem.

Jiannu usually disrupts the formation of the Ming army by cavalry and shooting. It uses cavalry to surround the formation of the Ming army, rushes and shoots, and shoots continuous arrows into the formation of the Ming army. Once the Ming army cannot bear the casualties, the formation Loosen, this is the time for Jiannu to officially attack.

Dongjiang cavalry cavalry is not as good as Jiannu, not to mention, Ning Navy is equipped with too many crossbows, it is not impossible to use cavalry and shooting to disrupt Ning Navy's formation, but Kong Youde will definitely not be able to bear the price.

What is Kong Youde's confidence?

Artillery, it must be artillery.

Although Kong Youde has not occupied Dengzhou now, nor has he snatched the Denglai new army's artillery from Sun Yuanhua, but he must have artillery in his hand.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie quickly ordered: "Order all the fire support posts to abandon the existing firing positions, and immediately move the Thunderbolt to the Beiyuan position. The Thunderbolt must be camouflaged!"

"Order all the artillery, move the artillery positions immediately, enter the hidden artillery positions, and make a good camouflage!"

PS: I originally planned to write this plot in one chapter and end the story of Shandong, but in the morning, a colleague of Lao Cheng resigned and sent him off.The matter was delayed.Lao Cheng didn't drink at noon, so he continued to write in the afternoon, as the last day off work today, to see if he could add another chapter.Lao Cheng will report the data to everyone again. At present, the high order is 479, and the average order is 371. There is still a gap of 129, and the average order can be [-]. That is to say, Lao Cheng can get the full attendance award.
