Chapter 273: The Grasslander's Poems

Although there were dozens of young and strong men standing behind Yang Si, after the common knights reported their identities, these people did not dare to move around. They had seen the thunder methods of Jiaozhou Camp over the years, and Xinyang Town was also under the protection of Jiaozhou Camp, and they had many benefits. Under the grace and power, they were not brave enough to resist.

The soldiers from Jiaozhou Camp were very kind-hearted, but Yang Si was very panicked because he was heartbroken, but he had no way to disobey anything. He could only obey the other party's instructions. The people sent by Jiaozhou Camp came with the spare horses and asked Yang Si to set off for Jiaozhou today.

In desperation, Yang Si gave instructions to a few close people as if he was telling him about his funeral, and went on the road with these people without taking anything.

The person at Shijiu Institute was slightly different from Yang Si. This person is now serving Jiaozhou Camp in the salt field of Qingzhou Prefecture. He is considered a foreman and was also found by people from Jiaozhou Camp. Someone took a horse to Jiaozhou.

No one knows what he had discussed in detail, but after Yang Si returned to Xinyang Town, he had more than a dozen men from other places around him, and he also brought a large sum of gold and silver.

After this trip to Jiaozhou, Yang Si, who had been cautious in his words and actions for several years, also returned to his former glory and began to gather his old subordinates. With the old brother who had been following him, he couldn't help but persuade him, saying that now it is the Jiaozhou world. Fourth brother, if you pull the flag and pull the pole, wouldn't you beg for death?

However, Yang Si, who has always been cautious, ignored this time. Fortunately, Yang Siping Suli also had great affection for the people below. The old brothers' sects had the intention to die with Yang Si. Who would have thought of something strange? First, the group of people who were working in the salt field were released and returned to Yang Si's subordinates.

More than a dozen men from other places also lobbyed and solicited everywhere, and some people helped plan and prepare. Whenever the young people who were refused to be beaten back when recruiting soldiers in Jiaozhou camp, they were worried when they saw someone recruiting them. Nowadays, whether they were holding swords and guns, hoes, or fishing nets and oars, they just wanted to have a full stomach and live a happy life. Since there was a place to surrender, whether he was General Li or Brother Yang!

Yang Si was so unscrupulous that some gentry were watching the fun, but soon they realized something strange. As soon as they quickly reached a scale of thousands of people, more than a hundred ships of all sizes, and they were all equipped with silver, money, food and fodder. They hadn't gone out to do business without capital, so how could they spend money?

Moreover, in this disaster year, the bulk of the grain was almost controlled by General Li, and the trading was monitored very strictly. Even if the common people had food at home, they would have to save their lives. Who would take it out for business?

Besides, the young people who came from Yang Si tried to practice every day with weapons that were not old. On the ground in Shandong, there is only one weapon that is not old.

Yang Siduo gathered a scale of one or two thousand people. A few timid and fearful gentry landlords had already gone to the garrison of the nearby Jiaozhou Camp to complain, but Jiaozhou Camp ignored it. By this time, even the most confused people should have something to feel in their hearts.

On weekdays, even if dozens of people gather together and want to do something, they will be targeted by the people from Jiaozhou Camp. If there are those who want to do evil, the soldiers will arrive, and there is no beheading the head of the chief culprit. They will be sentenced to the jail rule, and they will be beheaded directly. Those who know the situation will not report it will also be punished.

But Yang Si has achieved such a kind of land, but the Jiaozhou Camp garrison still ignores it. But if someone says that this is the instructor of the Jiaozhou Camp, the Jiaozhou Camp garrison in Qingzhou Prefecture and other representatives will all deny it.

Seeing the army under Yang Si's army getting bigger and bigger, the landlords and civilians around him were relieved. No matter how powerful the Jiaozhou camp was, it would not harm the people. Since she acquiesced to Yang Si's existence, she must have had some tacit understanding in private. Many of her children are under Yang Si's hands. The nickname of Sea Monkey has been called up by many people. The team of Sea Monkey buys outside and pays for it. This has greatly promoted the people's livelihood in Xinyang Town, and this existence is not a bad thing.

The people around did not notice that every time the Hai Monkey team expanded, a certain proportion of Laizhou people always came in, but this was inconspicuous. Except for Yang Si and the corresponding personnel, few people noticed this.

However, these things were already October after the twelfth year of Chongzhen...

Huntianlong Zhou Baxi is a famous thief in Shandong. The so-called hidden heroes in the grassland are basically the words of novelists. Since ancient times, people from the government army have been born in the government army to become famous in the green forests. Zhou Baxi is from Dongchang Prefecture, and has been a military officer for three generations.

In the early years of Chongzhen, he once destroyed the Wenxiang Sect and caused a rebellion, but was defeated by the other party. He knew that even if he went back, he would be dealt with by military law, so he simply turned into a bandit. Zhou Baxi took more than a dozen of his close brothers to gather the defeated soldiers that day and began to wander around in various prefectures and counties.

These people are different from ordinary bandits. They have many mounts and act like wind. They know how to fight cavalry and fire from other bandits. These fallen grass to set off for the bandits and soldiers, and the horses lined up to rush forward. The opponent's mobs were generally defeated, and they were all officers and soldiers, familiar with the bottom line and way of action of the officers.

Sometimes, even if these people slaughtered the villages, the government would not catch up with them. There was no way to go. Zhou Baxi also felt comfortable living wandering around and looting. There were only more than twenty brothers around him, all of whom were from cavalry and cavalry teams. He had made a huge reputation between the six palaces in Shandong. Not only did he dare not offend the ordinary Green Forest Village, but he also had to spend a lot of money to invite them when he needed help.

After four or five years of hard work, he became the name of the Dragon. In this era, even if he is called "Dragon", it is a sign of a nickname in the world.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huntianlong didn't know that the stubbornness was wrong, so he had the idea of ​​Li Meng's salt team. In fact, the salt merchants on Huai Shang released the reward order, and Zhou Baxi was willing to make the money and make friends with these salt merchants.

But even the salt stalks of the Jiaozhou Camp escort the salt team are all systematically trained soldiers, and they are not so easy to fight. They are so desperate. Zhou Baxi is used to being rampant. Unexpectedly, there are Jiaozhou camp soldiers near the salt stalks. Suddenly, a salt stalks of the salt stalks and the driver of the salt stalks were caught off guard and were killed on the spot. Then, Zhou Baxi ran out with only one brother, and the rest died around the salt stalks.

After this setback, Zhou Baxi was completely scared. Although he had recruited more than a dozen brave subordinates, he never dared to touch any business related to Jiaozhou Camp again.

However, the scope of Jiaozhou Camp was expanding, and Zhou Baxi, who was wandering everywhere, felt increasingly cramped. He asked him to leave Shandong, but the local people in the hometown were unwilling to accept it.

As a result, when Huang Ping recruited his subordinates in Shandong, Zhou Baxi thought about it and thought that he had saved enough money. Why not find a big force that can protect him and be stable for a few years!

Anyway, he fought and ran away quickly when the case of robbing the salt transport team back then, and no one knew that Zhou Baxi did that thing back then.

Huang Ping naturally needs such a gangster who is familiar with and capable of the land. Zhou Baxi, Huntianlong, quickly joined Huang Ping's quest camp and joined the Jiaozhou camp. Huntianlong immediately felt different. Although he was in a turbulent manner, he did not dare to enter the town in a swagger. He also wanted to avoid some wealthy and powerful gentry gentry. However, after the head of Jiaozhou camp, those gentry landlords with status were polite and treated him with courtesy and courtesy, which was very simple, because Zhou Baxi was no longer the thief of the past, but the representative of Li Erlang of Jiaozhou camp.

Such a good day did not last for a few days. After the Qing army entered Northern Zhili and the news spread all over the world, Huang Ping gathered his subordinates to go to the border between Northern Zhili and Shandong to inquire. These people immediately became half-hearted and hesitated.

Especially Zhou Baxi has been in the military camp this time, so he naturally knows how powerful the Tartar soldiers are. However, Li Meng is stationed in Dezhou City, and Shandong's sphere of influence has not changed much. He is unwilling to do it and has to follow him. However, this attitude is a bit silly.

When Jiaozhou Camp was pursuing the Qing army, Zhou Baxi finally had a different mind. He thought that he had been in the military camp and had a much better experience than others. Since Li Erlang was foolishly going to fight the Tartars, he must have been seeking death. Why bother to hang himself on this tree? When Jiaozhou Camp fell and Shandong was in chaos, wouldn't he be in a river dragon return to the good days of his past prosperity?

As soon as the Qing army entered Shandong, the soldiers of Shandong General Qiu Lei's troops immediately fled and dispersed. At this time, Huang Ping asked his subordinates to inquire about the news. None of these people from the world who were purely profit-seeking was willing to go. The furious Huang Ping asked Zhou Baxi: Have you ever thought about staying in Shandong, how can you survive?" Zhou Baxi replied indifferently, "Do you have any other things to say in the future? Who will scare you with these harsh words?"

The Jiaozhou Camp was not only there, but also won a great victory, and its power expanded significantly. During the day, those scattered in the enemy began to have no place to live in Shandong...

In fact, these wild people in the martial arts world think they are extremely smart and good at observing their style. They are mostly from defeated soldiers and deserters. They think they have learned through these imperial officials. There are very few people from Liao Town on the Jianghu Roads in Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture.

Many people in Liao Town have no way to live after coming to Shandong. After Kong Youde's big mess, they did not follow him. Those who stayed in Shandong had a bleak end. Even if they beg for food, if they had a Liao Town accent, the locals would close the door and ignore it. In addition, most people in Liao Town are martial artists, so it would be natural to become bandits.

After such people from Liao Town became famous, they quickly gained their own territory and prestige in the two prefectures of Denglai, Shandong because they had a certain degree of military qualities.

The Ming army was known as the strongest in the Nine-Border Army, and the Liao Zhen army was one of the best. They fought and killed the Tartar army outside the pass and retreated all the way. They had seen people who knew about it. They naturally had a judgment on the strength of the Qing army. Li Meng had few soldiers and horses, and what he did was secret. The entire Shandong knew about his power was a vague impression of the middle and upper class people. These grassroots were afraid to avoid it in daily life, so how could they know anything?

As a result, when the Qing army arrived, the first ones dispersed were the Liaozhen soldiers who were born in the martial arts world. After returning to their territory, they changed their previous restraint and took the initiative to loot and commit violence. The reason was very simple. The Tartar army came here. It would be fine if the Ming army in Shandong hid, but they would still have a way out if they went up to fight stupidly.

After they made such a fuss, the wild people in the world who were still under Huang Ping were also unstable. When the army really came over, they immediately scattered the birds and beasts.

Although Huang Ping's harsh words were to leave the world with these people in the martial arts world, he also knew that although their intelligence work was dangerous, it was related to the life and death of Jiaozhou Camp. Since he was already loyal to his death, he would go even if he died.

However, Huang Ping and his subordinates hated these gangsters from Jiaozhou Camp, but they were all smart-minded characters. They thought that in the future, Jiaozhou Camp would probably have to take these people more seriously, and they might have to endure this tone for the rest of their lives.

However, Li Meng has always been unexpected in his work. When Jiaozhou Camp settled down, he immediately issued a punishment order. In addition to Huang Ping, he also advised him with a few words of advice. The surviving people all exclaimed in their hearts. Even Huang Ping was so angry that he gritted his teeth in his heart, so he naturally would not insist on the false persuasion.

When the army was fighting, the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp were naturally strong soldiers. It was like chopping melons and vegetables to deal with these wild turtles. However, this time was at most a local cleanup operation. Moreover, although the number of soldiers in Jiaozhou Camp was excellent, there were not many. When recruiting and training, everyone was busy with the wholesale and didn't care about this.

Although Huang Ping, recruiting soldiers in May, also selected many people who were used together, these people must be trained in the regular army of Jiaozhou Camp for a period of time and then officially joined after special selection and screening procedures, and it is not useful.

After the war, there were only fourteen spies left before the war. The spy Jiang Xianchuo, who went to meet Li Meng, became his deputy. It was obviously unrealistic to rely on these fourteen people to retaliate against the murderers in the martial arts world.

Among the armed personnel of Jiaozhou Camp, there is another important component - armed salt dings. The personnel stationed in various places, transporting salt and delivering salt have always been armed salt dings. At the beginning, the armed salt dings were all purely children of military households. It can be said that they were the predecessor of Jiaozhou Camp.

Later, the children of powerful families in various places became the main members, and some veterans and old salt dicks who were indeed not suitable for regular army training to fight were served as leaders of all sizes. The salt dicks stationed on roads in various prefectures and counties restricted and monitored each other because of their geographical relationship, preventing local tribes from controlling the economic lifeline of Jiaozhou Camp, and allowing them to restrict and balance each other. This is the long-term way.

When every household was withdrawing children on that day, the relatives and children sent to the armed salt diary were rarely direct or nearby, and were all estranged children from the side. These people did not get any opportunities for development in their families. When they came to the salt diary team in Jiaozhou Camp, they all wanted to firmly grasp this opportunity.

In addition, the Yanding team already has the requirement to draw excellent Yanding to supplement Jiaozhou Camp, and the Yanding team's team, team deputy, captain and other titles are also well-known when they are given outside. To achieve this position, even the former patriarch's head should treat it politely and can also make a status.

Moreover, those veterans and old Yanding, who were the leaders, knew that they could not fight, had no intention of comparing the peers and juniors in the Jiaozhou camp army, and they were determined to compete with the military soldiers. In addition, in the performance of Yanding, the smooth purging of salt affairs is one aspect, and military skills and appearance are also the same. They also had to rotate exercises in various places stationed in Shandong, but it was just a bit less frequent than regular soldiers.

Therefore, the combat power of the armed salt dings in various places is not much different than that of the regular army. The difference is weapons and equipment, training methods that are improved at any time, and practical experience.

Li Meng had already issued a revenge order, so Huang Ping had to mobilize the power that could be mobilized to carry out this matter, and arming the salt dick became the best choice. Moreover, the children of these local clans had much better understanding of the local area and the way to deal with landlords and gentry in various places than the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp, or even those spies in Huang Ping's past.

As soon as this revenge was launched, the effect was immediately revealed. There were few people scattered in the martial arts world. The big players had long disappeared during the Jiaozhou Camp's repeated exercises and clearances. Even these few martial arts people knew that the news was wrong and they all hid.

But how could this part of the hiding gangsters be able to compare with local snakes like Armed Salt Ding? Many people were even blocked by these Armed Salt Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding D

Some people ran out in a hurry, but there was also a group of armed salt priests, and even if these people in the martial arts world could not run far.

Zhou Baxi, the Huntianlong, was originally hiding in Shouguang area, but in late June, he felt that the news was wrong. Zhou Baxi was agile and immediately alerted him when he had a turmoil and ran to Jinan Prefecture early. As a result, he had only been running for three days and the armed salt dick had already come to him.

Zhou Baxi is the one named by Huang Ping. Who made Zhou Baxi say the very arrogant saying that day, "The Jiaozhou Camp will not be long-term." He even incited the people who were together to disperse, which really made Huang Ping hate it to the core.

After returning to the place, Huntianlong Zhou Baxi took advantage of his former reputation and quickly pulled up a strand of forty or fifty people, of course, not as good as before. The team of forty or fifty people wanted to do some business locally, but ended up robbing a big company and was still defended by the other party and did not attack.

The armed Yanding who arrived later killed the thief. Zhou Baxi was so scared that he realized the depth of the Jiaozhou Camp's foundation in Shandong. During the day, he said those words and thought that they were accurate in their own right, but they were very wrong.

He wanted to take advantage of the chaos and went to a familiar family in Shouguang to avoid it. He looked at the scenery. Who thought that the situation was completely opposite to him, which made him realize that something was wrong.

Zhou Baxi, who was chased by armed salt deputies, was still a little lucky. He wanted to hide in the newly entered Jinan and Dongchang prefectures of Jiaozhou Camp. Zhou Baxi also had some information channels of his own. He really didn't want to leave Shandong. Henan was like hell. Both officials and thieves were tug at each other. Bei Zhili had just been ravaged by the Tartar soldiers. Moreover, the place was not rich in the first place, so naturally it was not comfortable than the local hometown of Shandong.

It is even more impossible to run to the south. There are people from Jiaozhou Camp everywhere, like a net of heaven and earth, so Zhou Baxi dared not run to the other side.

Things began to get wrong in mid-July. After the armed salt Ding captured several Jianghu people from Liaozhen, he was already scared by the killing of Jiaozhou Camp. Once he was caught, a timid person first asked for information and his companions asked the Tatars in Liaozhen for information. Because the soldiers and a large number of Liao people in Liaozhen lived in the area of ​​Dengzhou Prefecture, it was not difficult for these Tartar spies to lurk.

Of course, after the Tartars entered Shandong, they lurked in advance and inquired about the information sent by the sentry sent before the war did not help much. For example, basically, the spies gave the above news that there was more than 10,000 troops from Jiaozhou Camp, and their combat power was slightly stronger than that of Shandong General Qiu Lei.

Such a judgment made the Qing army not worried at all, and rushed into Shandong directly. Of course, judging by the result of that encounter, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a little stronger.

But this result made Li Meng and other senior executives of Jiaozhou Camp furious. They thought that Shandong's operations seemed as tight as iron barrels, but who thought that there were so many loopholes and defects. They immediately issued an order that the troops from all over Shandong, armed salt and the village guards of the military farm in the field village should all cooperate with Huang Ping to eliminate these rampant bandits.

Zhou Baxi was targeted by more than a dozen armed salt dicks and fled westward. In the end, he had to defect to his former acquaintance, Zhang Chengye, the bandit in the South Mountain.
