Iron blood Suiming

ps: Thanks to the book friend 'Three Kingdoms' for the reward, thank you!

At noon on the second day at Caishikou, as Master Kong said, Li Jianguo exempted people over the age of 80 and under the age of 15 from the death penalty before the execution by the executioner, and sold them instead.All the people said that the governor is a kind-hearted and rare official.

With so many people dead, these shops always need someone to take over. Li Jianguo was prepared for this, and immediately found a respectable person from the original family of the original shop owner, and entrusted the shop. Public auction, the highest bidder wins.

The remaining [-]% of the merchants who escaped the catastrophe without following the price increase were overjoyed. For these shops, the governor's office issued a notice that they would be auctioned off in four days.These escaped businessmen had long thought to eat all of them, so they tried every means to maintain the stability of market prices, and took out all their stocks to meet the daily needs of the people. A large number of gentry merchants without the slightest confusion.

On the second day after Li Kaiguo quelled the unrest in Jinan Prefecture, five thousand cavalry from the [-]th Household Team arrived in Jinan Prefecture.On the third day, [-] war horses were transported by the auxiliary soldiers to Jinan Prefecture, followed by gentry and rich merchants headed by Fan Zongquan. They all followed Li Kaiguo to enjoy the sweetness in Lingshanwei. Not to mention the saltworks of Lingshanwei, even the supplies that Lingshanwei needs to purchase every day, all of which are flowed into their hands in large sums of money, making them very hard to make money.

Originally, they were planning to wait for Li Kaiguo to gain a firm foothold in Jinan Prefecture before opening a store to make money. However, the local gentry in Jinan Prefecture were very xenophobic.But they have always been zealous, and have been paying attention to the situation in Jinan Mansion.

Wait until the news of the price increase in Jinan Prefecture reaches their ears.The gentry headed by Fan Zongquan immediately prepared to go to Jinan Mansion happily. If others don't know, how can they not know?They also escaped under the knife of Li Jianguo. Who knows Li Jianguo's character like them?The gentry and wealthy merchants in Jinan Prefecture dared not listen to Li Jianguo's order, and died.

Before the gentry in Jinan Mansion were killed, Fan Zongquan and the others had already passed Qingzhou Mansion.Wait until three days later and arrive at Jinan City with [-] horses at the same time.

Thousands of trucks loaded with goods followed the horses into Jinan Prefecture, and immediately caused a sensation in Jinan City again.But no one paid attention to the [-] war horses, and less than [-]% of the remaining gentry, wealthy merchants and ordinary people focused their attention on the thousands of trucks.

After Fan Zongquan and the others started to spend a lot of money on land and houses in Jinan City, and unloaded thousands of vehicles into hills one by one, the gentry and wealthy merchants in Jinan Prefecture could no longer sit still.They went to Master Kong and Wang one after another, and demanded that the local gentry in Jinan Prefecture should unite and drive out Fan Zongquan and the others from Jinan Prefecture.

It's a pity that Master Kong didn't answer this question at all, and Master Wang had already surrendered to Li Jianguo two days ago.Doesn't he know how close these new gentry and businessmen are to Lingshanwei?When local merchants came to him, he only said one thing. "If you don't want to have your whole family wiped out like Mr. Cao and the others, just do your own business honestly." Then the local gentry and wealthy merchants in Jinan Prefecture went back in despair, waiting for the auction the next day.

The common people rejoiced, because they saw a large amount of goods entering Jinan Prefecture, and the prices of food, oil, salt and other goods were immediately reduced by half, and no one went to buy goods immediately.When the attention of the entire Jinan Prefecture was focused on prices, Li Kaiguo had already led [-] cavalry to the seventh-level town of Liaocheng.

Except for the [-]th household team.The other two teams were snatched by the third and sixth thousand teams. Compared with the other thousand teams, their combat strategies were slightly better, so they got the chance to play.

This march.Traveling day and night, trying to hide their tracks as much as possible, in this way, the distance was only more than 200 miles, and they rode for four days on horseback. Scout's report.

The fleet of the Ming army has already arrived in Linqing, and it will probably reach Liaocheng tomorrow, and the seventh-level town the day after tomorrow. The Ming army guarding the land is now in Cuilou in Xiajin, only more than 60 miles away from the canal.If the fleet is attacked, the [-] Ming troops on board will only need to support it for an hour and a half before the Liaodong iron cavalry can arrive.

Li Jianguo ordered the brigade to stop, looked at the map, and before making plans for the fleet on the canal, he had to deal with the [-] iron cavalry in Liaodong. As long as the [-] cavalry were defeated, the Imperial Forest Army from [-] miles from Beijing would be like a decoration , drive away.Although he has already made plans, Li Jianguo still needs to conduct on-the-spot investigation.

At this moment, another scout suddenly came to report that the [-] Ming army who left Zhucheng seven days ago suddenly lost its trace near Jining Mansion. In order to find the missing [-] Ming army, the scouts have stepped up The search range is large, but I don't know when I can find it.

Li Jianguo's heart sank, and he asked, "Why did the [-] army lose their tracks?"

The scout said sadly: "My lord, two days ago, the scout brothers who followed the Ming army didn't report any news for a long time. Captain Huang didn't dare to be careless and took people to look for it himself. Only then did he find that a total of 27 scout brothers were all dead. A trace of scars, as if it was suicide. When the subordinates came down, Captain Huang had already led his brothers to investigate in person, and it is certain that they will find traces of the Ming army in two days."

The first thousand households were startled and said, "Did all the scouts die together?"

"Returning to Master Qianhu, it is not. The 27 brothers were divided into four teams and died in different places. They all died in the same manner without any injuries."

The [-]th and [-]th households were also surprised. What kind of power could cause such a result?At this time, Li Kaiguo already knew what was going on, he said with a smile: "Don't guess, I already know what's going on."

He recruited the scouts and whispered something in his ear, the scouts answered in a low voice, and immediately ordered to leave.Li Jianguo sent an order not to leave today, but to camp on the spot.The thousands of households knew that Li Kaiguo had already made up his mind, and since he didn't tell them, there must be some reason why he couldn't tell them, so they didn't ask any more, and immediately arranged and set up camp.

Two hours after setting up the camp, a scout kept entering and leaving Li Jianguo's tent, obviously there was a constant flow of news.Three thousand households stared at Li Kaiguo's tent.All of them felt awe-inspiring, obviously things didn't go as smoothly as they had estimated at the beginning, there must have been some accidents.But no one dared to ask, for fear of disturbing Li Jianguo, he would be overwhelmed and walk around.

Until midnight, the [-]th household who was patrolling the camp was suddenly found by Li Kaiguo's personal soldiers, saying that the adults had summoned them.The sixth thousand households came to the camp, only to find that the other two thousand households and Li Jianguo were looking around the map, and each of them was holding a few pieces of information paper in their hands.

As soon as the [-]th household came in, the [-]th household said, "Come here quickly. Listen to the tasks assigned by the adults. This time, we fell for it."

The sixth thousand household was startled, and anxiously said: "How is this possible? Only our own people know about our operation. How could we fall into the trap..." Before he finished speaking, he realized it.I couldn't help but shut my mouth.

Li Jianguo chuckled.Said: "That's right, we have spies inside." No one dared to say this except him.Li Jianguo seemed to be smiling but was extremely angry. He did not expect that there would be spies under his rule.In fact, it's all his own fault, for not showing the ability rainbow line on all the time.If he hadn't noticed something strange, he wouldn't have thought of checking the rainbow line of the ability, and then he was sure that it was under his hands.There were actually seven spies.

These seven spies all rebelled later, and they were all instigated by him when he was in Liaodong. At that time, he could receive the death rainbow line information from Lingshan Weifu soldiers every day. It has nothing to do with the military, so Li Jianguo was very annoying, so he turned off the information of the rainbow line of the ability, and asked for peace. Since then, he has not turned it on again. Unexpectedly, a single carelessness caused so many troubles.

During the few hours locked in the tent, he activated the rainbow line of supernatural powers, probed carefully, combined with the information sent by the scouts, and finally identified seven spies.Three of these seven spies were still the secretary of the Jinan Mansion he brought, two were from hundreds of households, and two were team leaders.

The only thing that made him feel gratified was that although there were three secretaries, two hundred households, and two captains, and many Lingshan Guard soldiers in their hands, none of his subordinates followed them to betray him. Maybe they didn't dare to show the wind. I'm afraid that there will be some mistakes, and Li Jianguo has a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. They dare to rebel, but the soldiers are not so courageous.Li Jianguo has checked carefully three times to make sure that no soldier has become a traitor like them.

The three thousand households were furious at the same time, they did not expect that the Lingshan Guards actually had spies.The sixth thousandth household shouted: "My lord, do you know who rebelled? His whole family will be killed in the end."

The other two thousand households also echoed, filled with righteous indignation.Li Kaiguo waved his hand abruptly, and said: "I already know this matter in my mind, so you don't need to mix it up. Now the situation is clear, we have fallen into the trap of the Ming army, presumably Empress Yi'an's fleet is a bait, Yi'an The queen didn't leave the capital at all, so she sent an order to cook food immediately, and we went to Cuilou overnight to kill the [-] Ming troops."

The three thousand households were ordered to go, and immediately the soldiers made food, had a full meal, and then set up camp and rushed to Cuilou overnight.Before the army was on its way, Li Kaiguo had sent 600 men as forwards, pulling out all the sentries and night guards of the Ming army along the way.Sure enough, after the army marched forward, they received a report from the vanguard overnight, and pulled out the Ming army sentry to spy on nearly 100 riders. They were all spying, and they were shot and killed by the vanguard with a bow.

Li Jianguo was furious. There were so many sentries on the way to Cuilou. It was conceivable that their every move was under the eyes of the Ming army.What a woman, why didn't she see through when all the generals tried to protect her, so she fell into a passive state now.The last time she was able to withdraw decisively last time, she should have been vigilant. Now that she thought about it, no one had tipped her off. How could she have known that the Lingshan Guard army was besieging the Ming army and escaped early?

The strategy of attracting the snake this time must be the handiwork of this woman. She can make the name of Empress Dong Yi'an, and she must have an extraordinary status in the royal family. When we meet again, I will definitely kill her To relieve the hatred in his heart, Li Jianguo said viciously in his heart.

Fifteen thousand cavalry were galloping wildly in the dark night. Li Jianguo kept changing horses and giving orders to keep the team advancing at an even speed. After all, his cavalry was not fully trained. The day is still short, no matter whether it is still not enough, these soldiers of mine can advance on horseback, and if they keep commanding, they can only keep from falling behind, but they can't speed up at night.

From the campsite just now to Cuilou, the distance is about eighty miles. After driving for three hours in the dark, the sky has already brightened.At this time, the vanguard reported that the [-] Ming troops had set up camp and were preparing to leave.

Li Jianguo was very bored, it shouldn't be, according to the instructions released by the army, even though there were strikers sniping and killing them, they would definitely not be able to kill them all. Now pretending not to know, there must be a ghost.But I am not afraid of ghosts.

Li Jianguo sneered and ordered, and stopped immediately.Make rice again, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds after a full meal.Unlike the Ming army who wanted to flee as soon as they heard that they were going to fight, the soldiers of Lingshan Guard were very eager to fight. As long as they killed an enemy in battle, they would be rewarded with one tael of silver.And it was cashed after the war, and it has been fought several times before.Li Jianguo has fulfilled his promise very well.This made the soldiers see that he would do what he said and that what he believed would be true, so everyone was convinced.Therefore, there is no need to mobilize before the war, and morale is already high.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, Li Jianguo called the three thousand households and taught them the secrets face to face.Three thousand households came happily.Go away with joy.Just after the meal, the forward had already returned to the camp and reported to Li Jianguo that the Ming army had arrived.At most three quarters, you can meet the Lingshan Guards.

Li Kaiguo ordered all the armies to regroup, and just as they were regrouped, [-] Liaodong cavalry roared in. The distance was only three miles away, and a strong murderous aura rushed towards them.

Li Kaiguo sneered and said: "All the troops line up." Immediately, the flag that had been raised earlier began to wave the flag, and the Lingshan guards dismounted one after another and began to form a square formation.The phalanx was formed in an instant, and the horses lay down one after another under the comfort of their masters, and the black muzzles of the guns showed murderous intent on the saddles of the horses.

Wu Sangui, one of the Liaodong iron cavalry, had a smirk on his face, and shouted: "Brothers, let these thieves know how powerful our Liaodong cavalry is. Two armies on the left and right, divide the troops to attack the two wings." There is still a mile to go, but the rushing The Liaodong iron cavalry has been divided into two, and instead of attacking from the front, they attack the left and right sides of Lingshanwei.

Li Jianguo shook his head. This ancient method can also be used. Immediately send an order to change the formation. The Lingshan Guards are only divided from the middle. One turns to the left and the other turns to the right. It takes less than three breaths, and the formation change has been completed. .

Zu Zeyuan looked at the Lingshan Guards on horseback in shock. He had never seen so many firearms. The [-] team actually had a firearm in hand. Zu Zeyuan, who knew the power of firearms, knew this. How powerful will it be if fifteen thousand guns are released.He hurriedly patted his horse to catch up with Wu Sangui and shouted: "Sangui, the enemy army has too many weapons, we can't charge forcefully, we should retreat first, and then try to attack."

It's a pity that it's too late for him to say this. Zu Zeyuan is just a nominal general, and he is not proficient in cavalry at all. .If he turned around, he would draw an arc and pass by the Lingshan Guards. In this way, wouldn't it be like letting the Lingshan Guards hit a moving target.

And rushing into the enemy's formation, it is possible to rush into the formation when the enemy is changing their bullets. As long as the cavalry rushes into the formation, the victory will be sealed.So Wu Sangui shouted: "No, you can't retreat at this time, brothers, charge." Following his shout, the Ming army's cavalry on both wings approached within seventy feet.

Suddenly the flag of the Lingshanwei Zhongjun waved, and immediately the left and right wings launched forty tiger squat cannons each. After the cannons were inserted and fixed, the Ming army's cavalry had rushed to within fifty feet, like the sound of hoofs being deafened by landslides. It's so close that I can't hear anyone talking.

The soldiers of the Lingshan Guards were all pale. It was the first time they had been attacked by so many iron cavalry from the Ming army. Everyone wanted to run away, but the strict discipline encouraged them to stay where they were, and stared at them with the corner of their eyes. Finally, with a sudden wave of the command flag, the soldiers of the Lingshan Guards turned their eyes reflexively, and pulled the trigger directly at the Ming army cavalry about 120 meters away without aiming.

The muffled sound of "Bang bang bang bang..." was insignificant in the thunderous hoofbeats. If it wasn't for the smoke rising, even if it was right in front of your eyes, you wouldn't know that the flintlock had been fired, but the consequences it caused were beyond recognition. It's loud.About [-] cavalry in the front row on the left and right wings suddenly met the metal bullets flying at high speed, and hundreds of people were killed by the bullets immediately.

The screams and the sound of the horses neighing and colliding finally overwhelmed the hoofbeats, and the cavalry who followed closely behind were skilled in equestrianism. They immediately dodged their horses, or jumped up and continued to charge.

At first, I thought that I would have to rush forward at least twenty feet before being shot again, but what the cavalry who had just appeared could not imagine was that they had just rushed out of the place where the dead horses were dead, and a wave of metal bullets rushed towards them. Another hundreds of casualties.

Compared with the previous bird gun matchlock guns and Lumi guns, the flintlock can save more than one-third of the firing time. As long as three rows are lined up, they can form continuous shooting, but even so, they cannot be compared with machine guns. , As long as the reloading time is slightly extended, the horses charged by the Ming army will advance more than ten feet. Therefore, if there is no machine gun for the impact speed of the Liaodong iron cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to stop it with flintlock guns alone.

So after only four rounds, the iron cavalry of the Ming army had rushed to twenty feet, smirking and waving the saber in their hands, waiting for the moment when they charged into the enemy's formation.They were so excited that they forgot that there were [-] tiger squatting guns waiting for them.
