Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"Well, then, let's head south as soon as possible. Lin Changxing said.

"Okay, Liu Yishan hasn't come back yet, we led the foot soldiers south, and his cavalry followed. The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for slackness, Wang Pu immediately ordered.

"So how many soldiers are left behind in Datong. Lin Changxing asked.

"Leave Liu Yishan to take the fire team to Lone Pine Ridge, let the guards take turns to send people into the city to assist in defense, each guard post a thousand people, post notices, the whole city apportions the city silver, each shop charges ten cents a day, which shop refuses to pay, just block the door of the store with bricks and stones, don't be afraid of offending people, we are used to the Shenjia battalion. And he gave it to the soldiers who defended the city as money. Wang Pu wanted to subsidize military spending with business taxes, but collecting business taxes in the Ming Dynasty was easy to provoke civil officials to rise up and attack. The public is angry, and the Donglin Party especially hates commercial taxes, so Wang Pu wants to pull the generals and guerrillas from various places into the water and share the hatred equally, but fortunately, Datong is located on the border, and in this poor and remote place, in the name of defending the city and apportioning the silver, it is actually collecting commercial taxes, even if the Donglin Party is dissatisfied, it will not cause an uproar in the world.

"This method is good, just enough to make up a little arrears for the guards and win people's hearts. Lin Changxing said with a smile.

"You stay, help me watch here, pay attention to whether the soldiers of each guard are worthy, and which generals are less corrupt and deductible, write them down one by one, and write to me. Wang Pudao said that now the stall is getting bigger and bigger, and the talent is even more scarce.

"Then, my lord, who will assist you in the army? Lin Changxing asked.

"I'll go to Wang Yan and ask her to compensate me for being a thief. Wang Pu said.

"But she, she's a woman. Lin Changxing was frightened and said in shock.

"It's okay, Wang Yan has led the troops alone more than ten times, and there should be a lot of capable talents around her, I want to take the opportunity to test the skills of these women. "

"Sending women to the battlefield is an anomaly, once a last resort, now. Lin Changxing was still worried.

"It's not available, you won't know until you've used it. Wang Pu is very sure. He had heard of the Red Detachment of Women in later generations, and it was evident that as long as the fire was used, women could fight without fighting bayonets.

The next day, Wang Pu left Lin Changxing behind, and led the Shenjia Battalion Brigade to the south alone, first went straight to Yanmen Pass, and marched all the way to Huairen County, where Liao Jiaying, a guerrilla general of the local guard station, only brought 200 people to meet him at the ferry. Wang Pu saw that his two hundred light horsemen seemed to be worthy of battle, so he ordered him to go along. Crossing the river, the rear is dusty, rolling and swinging, it is reported that Liu Yishan brought a thousand iron cavalry of the Datong town standard battalion, Wang Pu climbed the mound and looked at it from afar, it can be seen that this cavalry behaves majestically, and it seems to be a strong army, and it is overjoyed. With this 1,000 cavalry replenishment, his armor battalion had a full quota of 2,000 soldiers and horses, including 1,300 iron cavalry and 20 heavy cavalry equipped with aluminum armor.

There was a loud cry of children in the houses near the ferry, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade passed through the village entrance, which really frightened the villagers, they closed the door tightly, hid in the house and shivered, but the children still did not have the strength to suppress their fear, and listened to the rumbling sound of more than a thousand iron horsemen in the distance like a landslide, and stepped on the road, so they broke the defense, and cried out in horror.

But soon the crying stopped abruptly, and it seemed that someone around the child was forcibly stopped. Wang Pu listened to this movement, and then came to inspect the left and right, and said in his heart: The people of the Ming Dynasty are really afraid of the official army, and in the future, this will be their own defense area, so it is good to think of a way to create an image of being close to the people, and the army that is close to the people will have a sense of honor, and the soldiers will be braver.

So Wang Pu ordered: "Pass the order, and don't trample on the crops." "Since Datong City went south, all I saw along the way were endless fertile fields, fertile and watery, and there was no trace of the calamities in other places.

"What a beautiful scenery in the north, in the future, with this base, the world will be the deer. After adding more than 1,000 people, Wang Pu's self-confidence soared, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by his achievements.

Liao Jiaying, the guerrilla general of the Southern Mawei Guard, saw the military appearance of the Shenjia Battalion, and was frightened, thousands of people walked together, and every step shook the ground, and the unique mechanical obedience of the modern army was enough to shock the ancient soldiers to doubt life, and then listened to Wang Pu's order not to trample on the crops, and couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's allusion to the head of the cutting hair, he had inquired about the new chief soldier in advance, and knew that the white-faced boy in front of him who was pedaling the horse down the slope was a domineering man without a king and a father, and a traitor who was known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and even his biological mother could abandon him。 But Liao Jiaying is not disgusted, but has admired it for a long time, maybe this is a happy life.

At the same time, the people of Jiangxian County were eating a flowing water feast, and the thief head Gao Ye raised his neck and ate a mouthful of wine, praising it: Good wine.

"Brother Gao, you are really capable, I was really blind in the past, I didn't mess with you in time, I followed you, I became a hero, and no one wants to whip me in the future. After that, the man burst into tears.

"Good brother, follow me, I Gao Ye does not treat my brother badly. Drink. Gao Ye poured another sip of wine. He turned his head to look at his younger brother, but when he saw Gao Zizi taking a bite of meat, he was stunned.

"What's the matter, brother. Gao Ye touched him with his elbow and asked.

"Brother, I, I hurt you. Gao Zizi blamed himself and forced his brother to become a thief.

"We're brothers, what are you talking about. Gao Ye heard the meaning of his younger brother's words, they were just a group of rabble, and he heard the county commander shouting outside the city: This is the territory of Wang Pu of the Shenjia camp, and he has recently returned to Shanxi. Thinking that he was not in Shanxi, a group of girls left behind beat the thief army all over Shanxi, and had to hide in the mountains to avoid its edge. The mothers-in-law of the Shenjia Battalion are enough to make everyone frightened, and now the men who are the main owners of the Shenjia Battalion are coming here to kill the generals, it is conceivable that as long as the Shenjia Battalion arrives, everyone in the county will become dead in an instant.

"Brother Gao, that Tartar has been outside for the past few days, will he secretly vote for the official army, the Tartar is unreliable, let's be careful. Someone suddenly spoke.

"Alaihe has gone to check the terrain, and he is looking for a location to ambush the Shenjia Battalion. Gao Ye was very satisfied with Alaihe, and just smiled indifferently after listening to the discussion.

"This Tartar is too bad at being a man, he is so mean and unkind, how can he be brothers. "Some people even pointed it out.

"Yes, we all asked him to rob the silver, saying that it was a military training, I think he wanted to embezzle it privately, in case he escaped with the money, or threw it into the official army. "

"Aleh is not like this kind of unfaithful people, you have been too worried. Gao Ye couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows when he heard the words of the people, others didn't know, but he knew in his heart that he could save his younger brother this time, thanks to Alaihe's bravery, he took the county jail first and released the prisoners in the prison. And because the officers and soldiers in the city were all taken by the county order to relieve the siege of Zhangjiaao, the city happened to be empty, so they could get away with it. Alaihe is undoubtedly the savior of the Gao brothers.

"Brother Gao, there is not enough wine and meat, there is no wine and meat, how can you be happy, everyone rebels against you, and you don't let you be happy, then it's a rebellion. Someone simply slapped the table, and the plates on the table slammed into a smack. When Gao Ye heard this, he looked at the table, but it was also the truth, a few days ago it was full of big pig's trotters, whole chickens, whole ducks, whole suckling sheep, and now there are only all kinds of water left, and the meat pieces are not as big as before, and they are much finer.

"The food in the city is enough to eat, we are the province of the province, every day wine and meat, I have a stomachache at night, I can't sleep. Gao Ye smiled bitterly, he was an honest person, rebelled and achieved the foundation, but he still did not abandon the simple old habits, thinking that there was no wine and meat, but he could be full of coarse grains, and he was already content.

"Hahaha. Everyone laughed.

At this moment, there was a

commotion at the door, and a small pawn came in to report, saying that there was an old farmer who claimed to be a subordinate of King Chuang, and he had something to say to Brother Gao.

Gao Ye heard this, but he didn't know the point, so he asked left and right: "What is King Chuang." "

But all of you here are from ordinary people, and you can't read more than three, so you can recognize one, two, three, and this four character will inevitably be mistaken for four horizontal strips. Of course, they don't look at the arrival report, Shaanxi's military Xing, now the name is not obvious, and the people of Shanxi have not heard of it. Seeing that everyone was looking at each other, Gao Ye had no choice but to call people in, and a group of mermaids rushed in, crossed the small pool, and were ordered to stop in front of the stone lamp pier.

"The villain is under the command of King Chuang, Liu San, dare to ask who is in charge here. "This man has a strong face and a very upright appearance, not like the background of a small family, and he also looks like a big housekeeper or a shopkeeper in the city.

"I, my name is Gao Ye, where are you from, and what is King Chuang. Gao Ye asked.

"If you go back to the tall family, I am the Shaanxi Righteous Army, and the Righteous Army of the World is a family, we are not outsiders. At present, the monarch is faint and mediocre, the people are not living, Zhu Mingjiang is exhausted, Gao Yingxiang is the general leader of our Shaanxi Righteous Army, playing the king of the king, breaking out of the sky. Liu San said more and more loudly.

"Shaanxi people came to our Shanxi, what are they doing. Even if you run away from the famine, do you still want to fight here and harm our Shanxi? Then someone asked.

"Hahahaha. "I don't want this Liu San to laugh uncontrollably all of a sudden, and he almost can't control himself.

"What are you laughing at, do you want to die. "

"Hmph, I don't know

what to do, don't you know that the official army is fierce, Shanxi has a Shenjia battalion, we have a Zijin Liang was defeated in his hands, I heard that Yichuan City is a drum and broken, Zijin Liang 60,000 elite soldiers, are not the enemy of the people, until today when I talk about this time, he still has palpitations in his heart, as soon as the Shenjia battalion arrives, your dog head will be hung on the outside wall, stinky and rotten. If we don't join forces now, when will we wait? "

"Fuck your shit. "Fart. "Fart. "How daring, I cut you. "Zijin Liang is only 60,000, and we have 300,000. The shouting and scolding from the left and right continued, but Gao Ye was quite worried, and hurriedly got up and retreated left and right, and asked: "What this gentleman said is reasonable, although we have an army of 300,000, but the Shenjia Battalion is famous, and it is estimated that it is very difficult to deal with." "

"Therefore, our Shaanxi Righteous Army is ready to come to Shanxi and kill the dog officers and soldiers side by side with you. Liu Sandao.

"Sir, I don't care, but I might as well say. Gao Ye asked.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and we need your ministry to receive 10,000 stone grain. "

"What, 10,000 stones, have you woken up? "Stinky beggars from Shaanxi, go back. "We don't have enough, eat and go to you." "I heard that Liu San asked for 10,000 stones when he opened his mouth, and everyone blew up on the spot, 10,000 stones is enough to recruit 20,000 soldiers, but it is not a small number, how can he give it away with empty teeth.

"I won't embarrass you, when we open up the situation in Shanxi, we will return the grain in full. Liu San hurriedly argued.

"Okay, the rebels of the world are one family, and our food is yours. Gao Yeli said in disagreement.

The people on the left and right were all displeased, but they didn't say much at this time, and they were cold for a while. Liu San replied: "The high leader is righteous and thin, today's kindness, we will not dare to forget." "

"You go back and tell King Chuang, I hope he will come to Shanxi as soon as possible, the Shenjia Battalion is notorious, and it will be difficult for us to keep it for a long time. "

When Liu San

retreated, he persuaded both left and right to bargain with Liu San again, maybe he could get more benefits. But Gao Ye only said: You must have faith and righteousness, and you can't go back on your decision. This added to the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, and the rebels were divided up and down in the blink of an eye.

But said that Liu San is Li Zicheng, this time to Shanxi is to find a way out for the Shaanxi rebels, the new commander-in-chief Hong Chengchou is simply a killing god, they were seriously injured, several rebels surrendered by tricks, but Hong Chengchou actually rewarded the surrendered troops, and when they were unprepared, the ambush soldiers rushed out to kill them, and the rebels had no way out since then. Li Zicheng proposed to flee to Shanxi to avoid its edge. But I heard that the Shanxi Shenjia camp is very difficult to entangle, everyone is a little stunned, Li Zicheng first came to Shanxi to explore the bottom, I don't want to come to hear that the nearby Jiangxian County was broken by the righteous army, so he thought that the sky was a good opportunity, and a trip in person was not worth the trip, he went back to his residence and simply packed his luggage, and the entourage rode on their respective mounts, and went straight to the city gate, along the way to see the high hanging heads, one by one stretched to the end of the streets and alleys, the heads of those spears were all rich households in the city, a thief rebellion, the first to suffer, the usual savings of gold, silver and grain and rice were taken away by the righteous army, and the desolation of dying is needless to say。

Li Zicheng looked all the way, nodded secretly in his heart, this Gao Ye has a bit of ability, the arrangement of these soldiers is quite orderly, such as spearmen, sword and shield soldiers and archers, five three two open, and even a brazier, this is a veteran in the army can have the understanding, the brazier is a necessary instrument in the army, warm at night, avoid wind and cold, usually can also barbecue meat and hot rice, wash your face with water, boil water to wash, everything is inseparable, it can be seen that there are experts in this rebel army. The elite soldiers at the gate of the city are even more calm in their eyes, their steps are solid, their faces are radiant, and they must be full of esophagus in the army, and they can not be short of meat and vegetables.
