Chapter 232

There were Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao in the hall. They didn't want to sleep, so they had to ask their men to send strong tea to discuss their Liu family's plans.

Liu Yuanqiao said, "after the new year, we can arrange spring ploughing for the people. As long as the people have something to do, our disaster relief is a complete success."

Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture, after three years of Wuqiao mutiny, do not know how many people died. There is a large amount of land left uncultivated. If they can organize people to cultivate, they can save these people and make them produce new output value while preserving local vitality. This is the best way to strengthen themselves.

Zheng Zhibao said, "I will be responsible for training the soldiers. As long as we train the soldiers and go north to the four houses in southern Liaoning, we can make achievements."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "it's too early to go north to the four houses in southern Liaoning. We can work for the imperial court, but the imperial court must offer us an appropriate price."

Zheng Zhibao said, "what do you say?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "to deal with JianNu, it's the business of the imperial court, and it can also be said that it's the business of Lord Chen YingYuan. Lord Chen sits in the position of governor, but he is a corpse vegetarian. He is mediocre and does nothing. It's impossible for us to work for him and let our Liu family sacrifice for him."

Zheng Zhibao was not a fool either. He immediately thought of something. He said, "brother, you have a fancy for governor Denglai."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "an official position is responsible."

Zheng Zhibao said, "but for so long in the Ming Dynasty, all the governors have basically been scholars. Brother, you are just a student supervisor. If you want to be governor, you can't pass the imperial court."

In fact, Liu Yuanqiao also understands this point. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically impossible for him to become governor. Even he can become the governor of Laizhou. Many people have talked a lot about it, mainly because his background is too low.

But he said confidently, "it's man-made."

Daming's officialdom has been for more than 260 years, and many rules have been formed over the past 260 years, but the rules can also be broken, because Daming is now collapsing and sliding to the abyss at a very fast speed, which is the time when they, powerful ambitious and adventurers, shudder in the fire.

After dawn, the wind continues to blow and the rain continues. It's very cold. If there is a thermometer, they will find that it's at least minus 5 degrees now.

In such a cold day and such a bad environment, Liu Zhongyong decided not to send troops.

Because he also saw the other party's equipment. About 500 people of the other party came in wearing iron armor. There were two thin clothes inside the iron armor. It is estimated that these people would die easily if they escaped in the wild in such cold weather.

In such an extremely harsh environment, even if they send out Liu's army, it is easy to cause their own losses. Sending troops in winter is a big taboo of soldiers, especially in such bad circumstances, it is easy to reduce non combat personnel.

In particular, the Liu family army stayed in the Liu family mansion, mainly Musketeers and archers. In such cold weather, they simply can't shoot and use bows and arrows to hunt down the enemy. It's easy to be killed by others.

So they immediately sent troops from the nearby Fushan office and the Tibetan Valley to support them, and asked the troops better at field operations to hunt down the enemy, while their people here were still responsible for defending the Liu family's mansion.

After this incident, they also understand that they are staring at the enemy, and the enemy is also staring at them. If they are not careful, they will be easily eaten by the enemy.

Liu Zhongyong even dared to believe that half of the other party could escape in the snow in such a bad environment.

Sure enough, when the soldiers of Fushan office and Tibetan Valley sent out everywhere to search for the whereabouts of the enemy, they found at least more than 100 bodies outside, basically injured and frozen to death.

These soldiers from other places, even if they are not injured, are easy to freeze to death, because the weather is too cold. If they are injured, they basically have no chance to survive. Basically, they die of cold, because the weather is too cold, and they wear thin clothes and iron armor. There is no problem in the short term, but once they stop, That's a serious problem.

According to the prisoners, there are more than 500 people on the other side. So far, they have collected more than 450 bodies, all of which are tall, strong and dressed in iron armor. The bodies of soldiers can also be determined to be Liu Zeqing's most elite soldiers.

Liu Zhongyong said to Liu Kang, "the other party should be almost dead. After this time, Liu Zeqing should be greatly weakened."

Liu Kang is also very angry and resentful about this matter. He is even more angry than Liu bu. He feels that he married his daughter-in-law and was disturbed when he was about to fire. How angry he must be. He knows that his master is angry. As a servant, he should be more angry to show his loyalty. Therefore, Liu Kang has been scolding and scolding his mother all the time.

After he heard about it, he said, "when the weather is not so cold, we will go to Jinan to pay a visit to the chief soldier."

Liu Zeqing was able to run rampant in Shandong and take charge of military power because of the appointment of the imperial court and his thousands of Ding soldiers. Although he nominally took charge of tens of thousands of troops, he was best able to fight more than 1000 Ding soldiers. Half of his more than 1000 soldiers died and should not be compensated.

You should know that these servants of his family are all veterans who are tall, brave, good at fighting and proficient in combat skills. Three or five of these losses are not small losses, let alone four or five hundred huge losses. No matter who is there, they are huge losses.

Their military system is different from that of Liu Jiajun. Liu Jiajun has widely adopted the use of fire guns. They can quickly train an army in a short time by using fire guns.

Because the training items of musketeers are relatively simple. Unlike these soldiers with cold weapons, they basically just need to learn to line up and shoot. At this time, the muskets are not rifled and are generally used to hit human shaped objects, so they just need to line up and shoot.

However, these soldiers who only need to line up and fire their guns can kill the enemy and cause great blows to the other party with their powerful guns. This is the power of science and technology.

Under the auspices of Liu Zhongyong, they launched a large-scale search and arrest in the west around Fushan. With the search and arrest, they continued to find the bodies of frozen soldiers and horses.

This time, the other party sent out 500 elite cavalry. Not only did they freeze to death in the wild, but even some of their horses were frozen to death. However, they found two or three hundred horses in a simple horse shed with a leeward in the forest. This is their correct capture this time.

On such a cold day, if you go out into the wild, both people and horses are easy to freeze to death, but these horses are put in the stable to block the wind and rain. Basically, they survive. As long as you feed them a few good forages, they are also good horses. "

With the development of their search, they found more bodies. Finally, their search scope expanded to the whole Jiaozhou area. Finally, they found more than 480 bodies. These are all soldiers in iron armor. Finally, it can be determined that his army is completely destroyed.

However, the only drawback is that the bodies of Liu ZEWANG and Xu Jianqiang were not found. They should have escaped.

Just imagine that more than 500 of them came and only about 10 of them ran back. This is also an unprecedented defeat. Even if they go back, Liu Zeqing may not let them go. Therefore, they still suffered a great loss this time. Whether Liu Zeqing can maintain his rule in Shandong is still a problem.

This happened on the wedding day. Liu Bu was very angry. Although he and his wife discussed major events in the boudoir and started major events in life, he was still very oppressed and angry about it.

It only affected his mood and his schedule. He had decided to have a good rest for a few days, whether it was a honeymoon or a holiday, but when such a thing happened, he was not in the mood to play.

Early the next morning, he took Zheng zining to offer tea to his elders. After paying homage to his ancestors, he returned to his Jimo camp and began his work trip. Of course, Zheng zining also went with him.

At present, the disaster relief of the Liu family has entered a stable period, and most of the victims and refugees have been properly resettled. They are resettled in the temporary refugee camp or residential house of the Liu family, eating the rice grain provided by the Liu family, baking on fire and spending the cold winter.

They also started working day and night in many factories, such as their quilt and clothing factories and various Arsenal. Although the weather was very cold, they started working when they were baking indoors and on fire.

The Liu family is expanding their army from 4000 to 12000. Therefore, everything should be prepared. The most important thing is to prepare weapons and uniforms. As long as they train these 10000 soldiers, they will have an armed force that can dominate the three Eastern governments.

The large-scale expansion of the Liu family's army is a huge project, and there are a lot of things to do. First, he must prepare enough troops, then prepare weapons and ammunition for them, and finally eat and drink. Their army is different from the Ming army. The Ming army recruits and buys horses, just give people a full meal, and then give him a suit of clothes, a knife A long gun is enough. The Liu family army has a lot to prepare. Fortunately, they have established their own military industrial system and have a complete supply mode, so they won't be in a hurry.
