It seems to be, everywhere....

  Only then did the merchants from the south realize that there are millions of people willing to die for the master of Weihaiwei in this small place!

  What the people want is unstoppable!

  Many businessmen had such a sentence in their minds, and they couldn't help but tremble all over their bodies, completely frightened!

  ......

  After Lin Feng's inspection, the army was officially dispatched, headed by the first flag of the first general banner of the first thousand households of the first guard, and the first flag of the first general banner of the first hundred households.

  booming step

  The sound made the whole ground roar, as if it was about to be shaken, and the whole avenue shook.

  Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, archers, light cavalry, logistics soldiers.

  Countless four-wheeled carriages, loaded with ordnance and supplies, walked towards the Weihai Fortress.

  It attracted the attention of countless people. I don't know when, a child shouted: "Be sure to come back safely!"

  Immediately afterwards, more and more adults followed and shouted.

  Old people, children, men and women, men and women, young and old, farmers and workers, poor people and wealthy businessmen, are all shouting, and the whole Weihaiwei is shouting and paying attention.

  "Be sure to come back safely!"

  "Be sure to come back safely!"

  "Be sure to come back safely!"

  "..."

  In the blessings of all the people of Weihaiwei, Weihaiwei's [-] five major armies, divided into three routes, with the first guard as the main force, the second and third guards as the auxiliary, marched to Wendeng County, Chengshanwei, and Jinghaiwei.

  The first guard has three thousand households, divided into three roads, and they are the vanguards, rushing to the battlefield as soon as possible.

  Their purpose is very clear, to win these three places at the fastest speed, and then hand over the follow-up occupation and clean-up work to the second and third guards who follow.

  Quickly assembled, rushed to the front line of Huanglei River and Tangquan Town, established a defense line, and always prepared for defensive counterattacks.

  With the current strength of Weihaiwei, with [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers, it would not be a problem to win the entire Dengzhou Mansion.

  But in this way, the movement to win the next house is really too big.

  Lin Feng was not ready to face the entire Shandong, the entire Daming siege.

  Therefore, we first occupied Sanweiyi County in Dengzhou Prefecture.

  After all, this is a matter within the Dengzhou Mansion!

  In recent years, has there been less turmoil in the prefectures and counties below Daming?

  There are too many people who have killed officials and rebelled, and the big bosses in the Ming cabinet can't handle it. Now Zhongzhou is still busy putting out the fire and saving the emergency.In other places, it is natural that which government makes trouble, which government will solve it.

  Occupying the three guards and one county of Dengzhou Prefecture, Lin Feng was not at all worried that Daming would fight back with all his strength, because Dengzhou Prefecture was in chaos ten years ago. When the predecessors were beheaded and ransacked their homes, the first thing they did was to kill what could be put out, and to hide what could not be put out.

  As long as you can hide it, you can't hide it, so hurry up and run away!

Chapter 3 Surrender before the battle begins! (4/[-])

  Wendeng County is a large county. It used to be the seat of Dengzhou Prefecture, so the county seat is very large.Later, the government of Dengzhou Prefecture moved to Penglai County, and Wendeng County gradually declined.

  But even so, Wendeng is still the center of Jiaodong. It can be said that occupying Wendeng is equivalent to winning Jiaodong.

  Wendeng County is very close to Weihaiwei, only more than [-] kilometers away, and future generations can almost reach it with the accelerator.

  Even in this era, a distance of less than seventy miles can be reached quickly by walking.

  What's more, within the territory of Weihaiwei, the transportation network was built by Lin Feng. In addition, it also occupied many sites belonging to Wendeng County. From the end of Weihaiwei Avenue, the distance to Wendeng County is less than [-] miles.

  The galloping four-wheeled carriage, carrying more than [-] horses from the [-]th household of the First Guard, came to the small fortress at the junction of the two places at a very fast speed.

  Immediately afterwards, everyone got out of the carriage and walked forward.And sent a light cavalry of a general flag to set off with all strength to investigate the enemy's situation.

  More than [-] light cavalrymen, riding horses, galloping with wind and lightning, galloped down the dirt path, and quickly ran towards Wendeng.

  At this time, in Wendeng County, the county magistrates and squires, as well as in the mansion, sang, danced, and held banquets.

  They didn't even notice the news that Weihaiwei had mobilized troops to attack them.

  There are no guards in the whole Wendeng County, only the yamen and some battalions recruited by the local gentry and wealthy businessmen.

  Daming has implemented the recruitment system since the Civil Fortress.Because the guards were really unbearable at that time, the recruitment system was implemented, and the military system implemented was also different from the guards, but the battalion officer system was implemented.

  The emergence of this recruitment system has directly led to the collapse of the guard system, because the recruits recruited by the recruitment system are recruited by the local chief officials, and what should the local chief officials do if they have no money?

  Find a local squire and rich businessman to help!

  As a result, the local prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty were filled with all kinds of brave people formed by the squires and battalions funded by the squires.

  It can be said that this move gradually gave the local military power of the Ming Dynasty to the local gentry and wealthy businessmen.

  Coupled with the long-term corruption of the guard commanders, thousands of households, hundreds of households, etc., forcibly occupy the land of the military households in the guardhouse.If the military households have no land to live on, how can they have the strength to fight if they don't have enough food and drink?

  The collapse of the guards system in the Ming Dynasty was directly related to the local gentry.

  Even the local armed forces of the Ming Dynasty were occupied. Naturally, the military power under their control fell.

  Government affairs and local military affairs were all controlled by the squires. Naturally, the entire Ming Dynasty's local prefectures and counties also had what the squires said.

  Starting from Jiajing, Japanese pirates swept the entire southeastern coast. With the transfer of the Qi family army led by Qi Jiguang to the north, almost all the military power in the south of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by the wealthy businessmen.

  By the Wanli period, it was powerless to return to heaven.

  We can only allow the various parties launched by these squires and wealthy businessmen to compete for power!

  How did the parties emerge?

  not this

  Some squires pushed it out.

  With the local military and economics under control, these squires naturally developed ambitions and began to reach out to the center of the imperial court.

  Various parties have been established one after another, and with the help of the rich and wealthy squires, the partisan disputes have intensified.

  In the end, the Donglin Party, represented by the rich and wealthy businessmen from the southeastern countryside, won a big victory.

  First, they defeated the parties in various places, and then they defeated the royalists who were slandered as eunuchs, and occupied the entire Ming court.

  Those who obey me prosper and those who oppose me perish, and the Donglin party is the dominant family.

  Later, Emperor Chongzhen reacted and wanted to change. He picked up Jinyiwei and Dongchang again, and started killing in the courtroom, but it was too late.

  Because the people on the stage were killed, the people at the top were still from the Donglin Party.

  Can't finish killing!

  The fact that the squires are so powerful does not mean that the militia they lead is a powerful battalion.It's just that they control the fishing reels and have a lot of resources, which corrupted those guard officers.

  The emergence of the recruiting system made the soldiers only know the commander but not the imperial court, which also led to great confusion in the organization.There are people who can afford it, a battalion of troops, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

  For those who cannot afford it, there are even only a few hundred people in a battalion.

  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were countless warlords, big and small, and the organization was chaotic.

  Wendeng County has a battalion of soldiers and horses, but only a few hundred people, and the discipline is broken, and there is almost no training.

  If you say it's the army, it's actually just some local hooligans who bully and bully the common people.Even the battalions in many places cannot even beat the bandits.

  Because of Lin Feng's rise in Weihaiwei, the undercurrents of the middle and lower classes were surging in Wendeng County.But the upper class, like ostriches, doesn't care about external affairs at all.

  They also heard a little about Weihaiwei, but they didn't care.Because Weihaiwei is not under the control of their Wendeng County, and they are too lazy to manage it.

  It's just those squires who have land in Weihaiwei, and their hearts hurt when their land is taken away, but want them to fight?

  Are you kidding me, don't you need money to fight?

  Even the Weihaiwei army was wiped out. With their hundreds of battalions in Wendeng County, it would be difficult to protect themselves. How could they fight?

  In addition, Weihaiwei did not move for three months in a row, but only blocked the road, which made Wendeng County breathe a sigh of relief and relax their vigilance against Weihaiwei.

  When more than [-] horses of Weihaiwei's [-]th household appeared outside Wendeng County, everyone was stunned, and then panicked!

  What's even more unexpected is that the soldiers of the civilian battalion in Wendeng County did not even bother to close the city gate. As soon as they saw the soldiers of Weihaiwei, they fell to the ground.

  They directly sold the wealthy squires who raised them!

  Weihaiwei's [-]th household, thousands of officers and soldiers, took down the city gate of Wendeng County in a daze, and did not respond for a long time.But he was shocked, but he was dissatisfied. He took down the four city gates of Wendeng County at the fastest speed, and then rushed into the county government office. All the officials in Wendeng were handed over to the nest, and none of them ran away.

Chapter 4 The momentum is like a broken bamboo, and the three cities are connected (4/[-])

  "Who are you? What are you doing?!"

  In the backyard of the Wendeng County government, the county magistrate and dozens of wealthy businessmen from Wendeng County looked at the soldiers of the thousandth household of Weihaiwei who suddenly broke in.

  Immediately, he yelled in anger, and was pointed at by the sergeant who was like a servant on weekdays with a knife and arrow.

  "Do you know who we are?!!"

  "You are dead!"

  "Damn pariah!!"

  “…”

  Dozens of squires have not figured out the situation one by one, and they jumped and cursed.

  The general flag leading the team, listening to the scolding of the county officials and wealthy businessmen in Wendeng County, just sneered: "Let them sober up and figure out their own situation!"

  The soldiers below laughed one after another, stepped forward, and slapped the magistrate who danced the most.

  "Snapped!"

  The soldiers of Weihaiwei have meat to eat every day, and they are all very strong. Coupled with daily training, how strong is their strength?
