Chapter 577 Send Troops
After hearing this, Liu Hui Niang asked, "Sir, what is this misty world?"

"They are from the same period as the Uncle Thief, and are one of the seventy-two routes of smoke and dust. It is called the Zhen Bao Che Uprising. If there is no mistake, there should be more than ten thousand people in this misty world."

"I thought of sending only one army. After all, they are all villagers who have just left their jobs and do not have much fighting power. What do you think, Hui Niang?"

Liu Hui Niang shook her head and said, "Sir, it's not difficult to defeat a newly rebel group like this. However, 2,500 people are still too few. Now the provinces have tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields. If we can capture more prisoners, we can distribute them to various provinces to cultivate spiritual fields."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Today, there are nearly 40,000 acres of spiritual fields that are not fully registered in various counties and prefectures.

According to the new policy of Liangshan, the spiritual fields with owners were still cultivated by the original owners, but the crops they cultivated were all grains given by the government, such as golden wheat and crystal rice. The unowned ones were all taken over by the government, and the government hired farmers to cultivate them.

For these spiritual fields with owners, the government provided seeds and all harvests had to be handed over to the government. The government exempted the landlords from paying taxes on three mu of good land. Of course, there were also requirements for the yield of spiritual fields. If the yield was reduced too much, there would be penalties. Because of this, many farmers made exchanges with the government. One mu of land was exchanged for three mu of good paddy fields.

Liu Hui Niang's suggestion was indeed a good one. It was just right to set up agricultural officials to manage the cultivation of spiritual fields. With these types of soldiers, there would be no need to hire too many farmers.

As for crystal rice and other advanced crops, Zhao Zhen did not allow them to be planted easily, except for spiritual fields, because ordinary fields had to be left fallow. After all, the yield of advanced crops planted in good fields for two years was less than that of one year. For Liangshan today, there were many soldiers to support, and wine and vinegar to be brewed, so there was no such thing as too much grain.

It was Zhao Zhen's plan to cultivate the crops of high rank in the spiritual fields, so that the rice in the future salaries of officials and soldiers would be made from these crops of high rank.

This is to enhance the sense of belonging of officials and soldiers. After all, this rice grain can improve people's physical attributes.

Because of this benefit, the most prominent people will inevitably gather around the interest group headed by Zhao Zhen.

After all, only if you have good physical fitness can you advance quickly and live longer.

After dinner, Zhao Zhen told Hu Sanniang and the others about going to conquer a foggy world. Zhao Zhen asked, "Sanniang, Li Qing, Qiao Niangzi, do you three want to go?"

Tu Qiao was extremely delighted when she heard this, and said, "But there is a chance for us to fight."

Hu Sanniang and Chen Liqing also shouted: "We are here to protect the master, why don't we go?"

On the second day, Zhao Zhen sent someone to call Zhu Wu, Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing and others and told them about this matter.

Zhao Zhen said: "I intend to lead my personal army, cavalry, infantry and Qingyuan Guards to the battle. I will be away for a few days, and Liangshan still needs you to coordinate.

Everyone bowed in agreement.

Then, Zhu Wu said, "Sir, can the Imperial Guard Infantry Camp be replaced by the Courageous and Perseverant Camp?"

Zhao Zhen heard this and asked, "Why is this?"

Zhu Wu said, "Sir, you don't know Li Kui, the commander of the Yongyi Battalion. Since he followed the military advisor to attack the city and capture the stronghold, he has become more and more concerned about the battle formation. He has mentioned it to me many times, saying that he has nothing to do but practice every day."

Zhao Zhen said, "I have also heard from scholars that this guy kills enemies in battle like chopping melons and vegetables. He is so excited about killing that he goes into battle shirtless and is unstoppable." "It is better for each army to take turns to fight when going out to fight. Only in this way can each army not dare to slack off. Since the military advisor thinks that the Yongyi Battalion is suitable, let's use it to replace the personal infantry. Bring a cannon battalion, and that will be enough."

"The military advisor has drawn up an order to dispatch troops to the parade ground in two days."

Not to mention how Li Kui's troops in Yingyi Camp were overjoyed after hearing the transfer order. Zhao Zhen also made some preparations here, ready to return to the main world and hand over to Qu Rongyi.

The female soldiers of the three cities of Qingyuanwei also conveyed the military orders and began to pack up their weapons and armor, preparing to go to the battle.

Zhao Zhen originally thought that there would be nothing urgent to deal with before the expedition, but unexpectedly, a horse came from Yizhou to report that Wei Tianbao, the former commander of Qingzhou, had become a bandit in the deep mountains of Yizhou.

The arresting officer Liang Jie found out that this guy had taken up residence in Dahuluzui, which is located at the junction of Pingyi, Mengyin and Feixian counties. Since merchants were robbed the most in the three counties, Liang Jie conducted extensive investigations after taking office and locked onto Dahuluzui.

Because it is located at the junction of three counties, he has been able to settle down for a long time. Now, the military commanders [Golden Spearman] Xu Ning, [Sick Pass] Yang Xiong, and the training envoys [Two-Headed Snake] Jie Zhen and [Double-Tailed Scorpion] Jie Bao, each led their own troops and surrounded the roads in and out.

However, the Dahuluzui Mountain is steep, with three peaks in a row, the middle peak is the highest, standing out from the clouds. From a distance, it looks like a brilliant brush.

Besides the Three Peaks, there are Gou Gou Tou, Ma Jin Man, Lao Hu Dong and Wo Fei Jian peaks in the southeast, and Song Shan, Da Da, Ban Bian Ding and Da Wang Ding peaks in the east.

The terrain of the mountains is complex and it will take more than a day to encircle and suppress the enemy.

After reading it, Zhao Zhen sent someone to invite Zhu Wu.

After handing the document to Zhu Wu, Zhao Zhen asked, "Military Advisor, what do you think?"

Zhu Wu said, "Sir, do you want to persuade this guy to surrender?"

Seeing Zhao Zhen nod, Zhu Wu said, "Sir, this is absolutely not feasible."

"This guy has been doing evil for a long time, robbing the village and killing many merchants. If we recruit him, I'm afraid the villagers will complain. This is one reason. In addition, you are a commoner and now you are governing the local area. If he is a bandit, you should recruit him to be an official. Wouldn't that be indulging the idea of ​​killing people and setting fires to get an official position? What's more, he was the governor of Qingzhou, but he escaped and became a bandit on the day the city was captured. I think he should be killed."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said, "Brother Zhu Wu is right. This man is a general who cannot fight to the death. After escaping, he did not think about serving the court, but became a bandit and killed innocent people. He is disloyal and unjust, and he should be killed to appease the public anger."

"Military advisor, since you have made up your mind to wipe out this guy, don't hesitate. The Yizhou troops still need to guard the border, and I also need to send troops to other places. Please ask the military advisor to take the Wuwei Infantry Battalion and part of the artillery battalion, and bring the light mountain-splitting cannons and sub-cannons. Let's wipe out Wei Tianbao's bandits as soon as possible."

Zhu Wu heard this and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will lead the troops there tomorrow."

The next morning, Zhao Zhen ordered steamed buns to be prepared, and large bowls of hot wine were placed in the bowls. Each person was given three bowls of wine, two buns, and a pound of cooked meat. After rewarding the soldiers, the signal cannon was fired. Zhu Wu led Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others, bid farewell to Zhao Zhen, and deployed the troops, urging them to gather their troops, and marched towards Dahuluzui in Yizhou with great force.

After seeing off Zhu Wu and his men, Zhao Zhen also organized his troops and returned to the main world with a group of soldiers early the next morning.

Ji Qingwan and others were all in Bailiu Village. When they heard that Zhao Zhen showed up in the drying yard, they hurried over.
