Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"You can decide these things, don't ask me."

The Fushan army that appeared early in the morning attacked from the left flank to the right flank with a flanking attack on foot and cavalry. At dusk, there was no trace of a bandit within a radius of more than ten miles outside Linqing City, but only hundreds of thousands of tattered flags were left behind. , countless drum battles, and of course those piles of siege equipment and hastily cut out weapons.

This kind of thing, talking about serious Fushan soldiers, even General Zhou Shen who ran out of Linqing City didn't like it.

When Zhang Shouren was listening to the report, General Zhou was amazed. Beside him were hundreds of imperial garrisons from Linqing. They were all armored... After two months, no matter how much money you save, how much you will be stingy The master of the city also gave himself a good suit of armor. This money cannot be saved. If an arrow is shot in the chest, there will be nothing wrong with the armor, and death without the armor. Who would want to save this money?

In this way, the defenders of Linqing still looked decent. When they followed the Fushan officer corps with a bright stomach and imposing manner, although they still had an inferiority complex, at least they could still stand upright. [

After hearing the report from his subordinates cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Shouren waved his hand and ordered: "Chasing and wiping out the remnants of the enemy, fight all the way to the south of Dongchang, you just go, don't ask me any more."

"Yes, General!"

Qu Rui was in charge of this battle. Of course, Zhang Shouren did not send out all the soldiers and horses. Instead, he mobilized [-] infantry and cavalry to form an attacking corps. The bandits were wiped out in the first battle. The people were escorted to the Laiwu Iron Mine and the saltworks.

There are not many captives, nor are there many bums, there are plenty of places in Fushan to entertain them.

This time leading the snake out of the cave not only successfully brought Zhang Shouren back to Shandong, but also cleared away the unstable forces in several prefectures... This matter is actually not a trivial matter. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shandong still had hundreds of thousands of years of existence The previous inheritance was a place famous for producing thieves. In fact, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the local thieves came out together, and they could even attack the state and capture the government. With a single shout, thousands of soldiers and horses could be raised with flags. Not many, and Shandong is one of them. In the tug-of-war between the Chuang army and the Ming army, Shandong has never completely changed its flag. It also has enough local strength, and the Chuang army lacks appeal and strength, so it has never really won the Shandong site. .

Zhang Shouren has already almost done what Chuang Jun couldn't do in a few years.

After sweeping away these scumbags, Qu Rui was ordered to command the advance corps, from Dongchang Mansion to the Yanggu area, to clear out the remnants of Li Qingshan and other ministries.

The mission was important, and Qu Rui was also in high spirits. After solemnly paying a military salute to Zhang Shouren, he turned and left.

Behind him, there are dozens of entourages, including his deputy, clerks and staff officers from the Central Military Office and the Staff Office, logistics and military law officers, etc. In Fushan, the general has put an end to private staff Even if Qu Rui was ordered to lead an expedition, the composition of his troops and the distribution of his staff would still be completely determined by Zhang Shouren, and the coordination of all departments would of course select elite soldiers and strong generals. It is also a great honor to lead the troops to go to war, and of course there is no reason to object.

Watching the general he trained by himself turn around and leave, Zhang Shouren also had a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes.Counting from the tenth year of Chongzhen to a little more than three years now, Lin Wenyuan has grown from a salesman to a qualified military intelligence leader and expert. Qu Rui and others have also grown from ordinary military households to different styles, but They are all excellent generals, and it is enough for him to be proud and proud to have such achievements.

"The general is really mighty..."

After leaving the city, Zhou Hongmo realized that the rogues besieging the city were very weak. Although there were 2 people, they didn't have a single decent army and horses, and they didn't have the rules of war at all. He didn't see a few of them either, and after looking around, he felt quite regretful... If he had three hundred elite servants, coupled with thousands of soldiers and Ding Zhuang in the city, he might be able to break through the enemy and rescue him. , Isn't it a sure thing to be promoted from general to deputy general?

"...It's a pity, it's a pity..."

With such calculations in his heart, General Zhou dared not show any emotion in front of Zhang Shouren.

Although the person in front of him looked exhausted, Zhang Shouren's mood inevitably fell into a short-term trough after a long march and he was the director of the family. In the eyes of Zhou Hongmo and others, the general looked thin and lacked energy, and he didn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors said.

But after thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible for them to act disrespectful at all.Thousands of tiger and cardinal soldiers lined up in a circle, the armor was dazzling, and the dispatching was rigorous. One could tell at a glance that they could fight against a hundred elites. With such a small force in Linqing City, they were not even scum in their mouths. , how dare you have a little provocative mind?

"Where is Governor Zhang in Baoding?"

Zhou Hongmo was just a general, and Zhang Shouren was not polite to him, and asked questions directly.

"Back to the general, Zhang Zhongcheng is on the side of the Huitong River, and the army is also camping there, but at this time, it should be known that the general led reinforcements to arrive, and it may have crossed the river, and it is unknown." [

While talking, a scout came to report: "Baoding Governor Zhang is coming with his troops."

Zhang Shouren nodded and said, "That's very good. I'll lead Mr. Zhang here."

Under the urging of Chongzhen and the Ministry of War, Zhang Bingwen walked in a panic, leading a deputy general and a group of generals, guerrilla, and led the governor's standard battalion with two thousand soldiers, each general's surprise battalion, reinforcement battalion, tour battalion, plus the master's hard work, etc. , a total of more than [-] people went south from Baoding, and he had rushed to the north bank of the Huitong River more than ten days ago. After crossing the river, he came to Linqing. There were not many bandits in the north of Linqing. Only a small group of cavalry patrolled back and forth, separating the north and the south. .

At the beginning, Zhang Bingwen also planned to cross the river. At worst, he could set up camp next to the city, as if they were horns with the city, and he was much more confident in defending the city.He is a civil servant, as long as the city is not lost, no matter how many people die or how much advantage the bandits take, it has nothing to do with him.

But the abacus is good, but it is very difficult to implement. The scouts crossing the river are driven far away by the rogue rangers, and they are either killed or captured. It is rare for one or two to escape, but they are frightened and beaten to death. He also refused to cross the river, and the cavalry was not good enough, so he sent hundreds of soldiers over, and more than 100 cavalry charged at once and took them all.

After two setbacks, Zhang Bingwen realized that leading the army is not an easy task. No wonder there are so many governors and governors in the country. Those who really started their careers by leading the army and received the emperor's attention were nothing more than a few people such as Hong Chengchou. , even if he became famous like Lu Xiangsheng, and he was appointed as the governor of the Ministry of War, he would still be killed on the battlefield.

"The next official pays homage to the general."

Leading hundreds of generals under his command, Zhang Bingwen finally rushed to the battlefield. He came with him, as well as the civil officials who came out of the city of Linqing Prefecture, from Zhizhou who was wearing bright blue fifth-grade supplementary uniforms, to Zhoutong, through Judge, Shouxian, Cheng, etc., dozens of officials, surrounded by Baichang and his family members, were also mixed in the crowd around the governor of Baoding, looking at Zhang Shouren and the mighty generals around him with curious eyes them.

Maybe Zhang Shouren himself didn't realize it, so far, because his brilliance of repeated victories is too dazzling, in the entire Ming Dynasty, he has become a legendary general, and in the Ming Dynasty, there are fires and defeats everywhere. The emergence of a young general who has won many battles with a heroic attitude is already legendary. In addition, he started with a hundred households, became a general in a few years, and was awarded a hereditary earl. It's rare, among the people, his storybooks have already been circulated. According to storytellers, he has already been on par with famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Xu Dachang Yuchun.

In front of a general like him, of course everyone is sincere and trembling, and even an old boss and acquaintance like Zhang Bingwen has a bit of panic on his face.

"Mr. Zhong Yang, please stand up, there is no need to be polite!"

The last time they met together, Zhang Shouren had to bow to Zhang Bingwen, saying that Mr. Fang Bo, even if Jinan was controlled by him at that time, the etiquette was still the same.

Goodbye this time, although Zhang Bingwen is in the scarlet robe and silver belt, he has to pay homage to Zhang Shouren, and Zhang Shouren is only called by his nickname, the status and status of the two have undergone earth-shaking changes.

It is impossible for Zhang Bingwen to feel nothing in his heart. Fortunately, Zhang Shouren has not changed much, and his face is still very humble. He did not accept his big gift right away, but jumped off the horse, turned his body slightly, and received half a gift. , that is, immediately helped Zhang Bingwen up.

Based on the relationship between the two, Zhang Bingwen called him an official position, but Zhang Shouren could return the other party's name without the need for an official title. This also meant to show closeness. Zhang Bingwen, who was originally a little jealous, shuddered when he heard Zhang Shouren calling him , Sure enough, his expression became much calmer.

"Thank you, General."

Although Zhang Shouren had expressed his closeness, Zhang Bingwen bowed again courteously, and then straightened up.

"Mr. Zhong Yang is so polite." Zhang Shouren clasped his fists with a smile, and said with a smile: "When Japan will be a guerrilla, and Mr. Zhong Yang will be the chief envoy. This general is also under his command, but in retrospect, if it were not for the full support of Mr. Zhong Yang, with the help of this general and the Fushan Camp at that time, it is really in doubt."

Hearing such words, Zhang Bingwen also showed confusion, and after a while, he sighed: "In the past, it was rare for a general to remember so clearly. In the battle of Jinan, the lower officials did not actually contribute much. The general's Praise, I am ashamed to be an official, I am ashamed..."
