Chapter 53 The Evolved Liu Heizi
After Songshan's defeat, if the Ming Dynasty did not have new troops to defend the capital and the Xuanda line, then the entire Beizhi was like a vegetable garden to the Qing army, and they could come in whenever they wanted.

The Ming Dynasty originally hoped that the peace talks could delay the time, but they were disturbed by their own people, causing the chief assistant to be dismissed from office, the Minister of the Ministry of War to be imprisoned, and even murdered.

Seeing that the peace talks had collapsed, and the Qing army was likely to invade the bandits again, Emperor Chongzhen began to urge all the troops to aid Bian to step up the suppression of the bandits.

Because only when the rogue bandits are wiped out, can he draw out troops to guard against the Qing soldiers and protect the safety of the capital.

In July, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Sun Chuanting, the three governors, successively received orders from the imperial court to urge and promote the troops.

Under the urging of several consecutive orders, Yang Wenyue could only lead the commander-in-chief Hu Dawei across the Yellow River. More than 3 people joined forces in Zhuxian Town.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, also connected several orders, but Sun Chuanting had just arrived in Shaanxi and killed He Renlong.

Sun Chuanting had been in prison before and didn't know the specific situation of the bandits. He thought that Li Zicheng was still the bandit who was beaten down by him and Hong Chengchou to only eighteen riders, so he boasted that five thousand elite soldiers could wipe out the bandits.

He didn't know the truth until he arrived in Shaanxi. He never imagined that the thieves who had been almost wiped out by him in the past would develop into a mountain and a tsunami, with millions of people in just two years.

When Sun Chuanting arrived in Shaanxi, he was a little dazed immediately. He received the order, but hurriedly wrote it, explaining the difficulties, but the Qing army would enter the pass at any time, and Chongzhen was also anxious, but he didn't listen to any difficulties, and urged him to help Bian immediately.

In the north of Luyi, a crucial duel between the Chuangjun and the Guanjun is about to come, but Gao Yihuan, who is in Luyi, has become an outsider and has not been able to participate in this battle.

But this may not be a good thing for him. In such a large-scale battle, the casualties must be extremely horrific. If Brother Gao is there, most of them are cannon fodder troops. I am afraid that they will be exhausted in the first round.

In Yongcheng, after Liu Heizi was stationed here, he quickly recruited 1000 troops, but the quality cannot be compared with that of Gao Erge's men, not even the miscellaneous soldiers under Er Ge's men.

Although the soldiers were not strong enough, Liu Heizi recovered his strength after all.After he occupied Yongcheng, he was full of ambitions, and when he was about to get 4000 troops, he soon faced the same problem as his second brother, trapped by money and food.

Yongcheng was ransacked once by Liu Liangzuo, and Chuang Jun came to ransack it again. After Liu Heizi took over this mess, he was naturally helpless.

In order to get some money and food, Liu Heizi ransacked several villages outside the city to solve the urgent need, but the problem came soon.

In the past, he was a rogue. After robbing one place, he just robbed another place.But now he is confined to Yongcheng, surrounded by the territory of other captains, he can't cross the border to rob, and he can't beat the southern officers and soldiers, and after the robbing of the county, it will be gone and will not grow again .

This made him suddenly realize that robbery does not seem to be a long-term solution.Liu Heizi, who originally wanted to expand his troops, had no choice but to let go of his plan to continue to expand his troops, but he didn't have any plan for what to do next.

Liu Heizi is still very adaptable, so he doesn't know how to deal with it, so let's see what other people do.

It's just that the other captains around, including the mighty general Zhao Yingyuan of Shangqiu City, are all like birds, with black eyes, making the people under the rule difficult. Only Gao Yihuan from Luyi did something different.

Although Liu Heizi didn't read much, after he sent someone to inquire, he could still figure out that what the sophomore was doing stupidly was actually the government doing it.

In short, it is to let the people farm, and he collects the rent and becomes the landlord and riches of Luyi County.

After a little comparison, Liu Heizi knew that Gao Er's foolish set was better than salary assistance. After all, a county could have as many rich people as possible, and the source of income would be cut off after the squeeze was over.

Almost every poor person has the ideal of being a landlord, and Liu Heizi is no exception. He soon decided to do it like a sophomore in high school.

It's just that there are some things that he wants to learn but can't. Facing Ruo Da's Yongcheng County, he doesn't know how to manage it.

This made Liu Heizi worry for a while, and finally his subordinates suggested to him, "The heroes of Liangshan all have military advisors. Since we don't understand, can we bring a military advisor here?"

These words awakened Liu Heizi, without saying a word, he broke into the home of an old scholar in Yongcheng, tied up his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and the military adviser officially took up his post.

With the help of the old scholar to manage Yongcheng, the affairs inside and outside the city were gradually straightened out, which made Liu Heizi look at the old man with admiration. However, he recruited 1000 people. It won't be collected until next year, but it makes Liu Heizi distressed.

At this time, Liu Heizi had just heard that the old scholar had counted the money and food, and was scratching his head with a headache, when a subordinate suddenly came in and clasped his fists and said, "Report to Captain Qi, Captain Gao of Luyi has a messenger!"

After Gao Yihuan was made a captain, he was at the same level as Liu Heizi, and he was no longer controlled by Liu Heizi. Now his wings are very stiff. After he went to Luyi, he completely forgot about him as an old boss.

"Second year idiot sent a messenger?" Liu Heizi wondered for a while, why did that idiot send someone over?Could it be that he suddenly remembered his old boss and said hello to him?

Liu Heizi frowned slightly, "You bring the messenger to see me!"

Not long after, Zhao Daxian was brought up, and saluted Liu Heizi with a smile, "I've met Captain Liu!"

"So it's Zhao Zhanglu." Liu Heizi glanced at Zhao Daxian, with a haughty expression on his face, curled his lips and said, "Captain Gao, what did you ask you to come here for?"

"Our second brother wants to fight Bozhou, so he sent me to ask if Captain Liu is interested in cooperating!" Zhao Daxian didn't talk nonsense, and directly dragged out together, "If Captain Liu is interested, he only needs to borrow [-] elite soldiers, and wait to fight After Bozhou, June [-]th was seized."

Liu Heizi was shocked when he heard this, the sophomore in high school dared to hit Bozhou, he said it so easily, did he think hitting Bozhou was like hitting flies?But this plan made him very excited.Right now Yongcheng is his own territory, he wants to manage it well, any further robbing is equivalent to killing the chicken and taking the eggs, but this Bozhou is not his territory, but he can grab it.

"Do you know how many officers and soldiers there are in Bozhou City?" Liu Heizi asked with a frown.

Bozhou belongs to Nanzhi, so it is naturally richer than the prefectures and counties in Henan. Liu Heizi actually had the idea of ​​Bozhou, but he knew his own strength, so he didn't dare to touch it.

Although Liu Heizi coveted Bozhou, he had to ask more clearly, and he didn't want to fall headlong into the pit.

"There are four hundred people, and we can't eat, so the second brother wants to borrow three hundred elite soldiers from the captain, so that we can all get rich together." Zhao Daxian glanced at Liu Heizi, and continued: "If Captain Liu doesn't dare, then it's okay. It doesn't matter, I'll go to Fucheng right now and ask General Zhao to borrow troops."

As soon as he heard that Zhao Daxian was going to find Zhao Yingyuan in Fucheng, Liu Heizi immediately became anxious. He quickly got up and walked over from the case, took Zhao Daxian's hand, and became enthusiastic, "Brother Daxian, what are you doing with General Zhao? Call He, we will only have soup."

After speaking, Liu Heizi was silent for a while, then shook Zhao Daxian's hand, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Daxian, go back and tell Brother Gao, I'm done with this deal."

There are only 800 officers and soldiers in Bozhou, 300 high school seniors, and more than 1000 elite soldiers. He has [-] soldiers, and he will borrow a few hundred elite soldiers.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Daxian immediately opened his hand, cupped his hands and said: "In this case, please Liu Duwei, come to the confluence of Woshui and Mashang River before August [-]st, and join us."

Liu Heizi nodded quickly, "Brother Daxian, don't worry, I'll gather enough troops and set off immediately."

In order to attack Bozhou in the school grounds of Luyi County, in addition to more than 300 soldiers, more than 400 miscellaneous soldiers were also pulled back for some simple drills.

At this time, Gao Yihuan stood outside the school grounds, watching more than 700 soldiers practicing individually under the leadership of the officers, and he was quite satisfied.

After watching it for a while, he went to the logistics team to check the production of dry food, and then went to the blacksmith shop to look again.

The old blacksmith brought back from Shangqiu and his two apprentices had already rebuilt the shop in the city, and gradually got on the right track, starting to repair weapons and armor for the second brother.

Now Brother Gao has no money, nor does he have much refined iron and coal, so the blacksmith shop is still relatively shabby.

"Captain, this is the old man's iron helmet, try it on." The old blacksmith handed it to Gao Yihuan graciously, "This is the first thing that the old man made after he arrived in Luyi."

Brother Gao took it over and took a look. It was a flying saucer cap with a layer of cowhide inside, so he wore it on his head. Apart from being a bit heavy, it was quite comfortable.

At this moment, Gao Yicheng sneaked in, "Second Brother, Brother Daxian is back."

Gao Yihuan was about to praise the old blacksmith, but when he heard Gao Yicheng's words, he was overjoyed. The news he had been waiting for finally came back...
