"It's a pity that we don't have enough troops, otherwise I really want to lead the troops out to kill their majesty." Wang Ju stared at the slave soldiers digging trenches in the distance with his cold eyes.
Many of the soldiers in Lushun were natives of Liaodong. They had a natural hatred for the slaves and thieves. The evil deeds committed by the slaves and thieves in Liaodong were countless.
This kind of hatred is difficult for many people outside Liaodong to empathize with.
Almost every household in Liaodong has a blood feud with slave thieves.
"When the road from Denglai to Lushun is opened in Shandong, it will be time for us to counterattack Liaodong. At that time, those who have a grudge will seek revenge, and those who have an injustice will avenge an injustice." Zhao Wu said in a cold voice.
None of the old people who followed Liu Heng from Liaodong knew the cruelty of slave thieves.
Over the years, Tiger Character Banner has been recording everything the slaves and traitors did in Liaodong, and then formed it into written form and sent it to the army through military reports.
】
Facing the slave thieves, every tiger-character flag soldier felt this fire in his heart.
When facing the Ming army, the soldiers of the Tiger Character Banner fought for their families and relatives to live a good life, and to let more people live a good life like them.
But facing the slave thieves, the tiger-character flag only has two words: revenge.
Revenge for the dead family members, revenge for the dead relatives, revenge for the dead compatriots or tribesmen, revenge for the people of Liaodong who were killed by the slaves and thieves.
Tiger Character Banner will never compromise with slave thieves, let alone cooperate with slave thieves.
This is why the slave thieves sent people several times to try to cooperate with the Tiger Flag, but in the end they failed. Instead, many of the people they sent to discuss cooperation were killed or injured.
"I don't know when the First Battle Division will be able to capture Shandong. I really hope this day comes sooner." Wang Ju said with a look of anticipation.
As for the possibility that the First Battle Division failed to capture Denggeng, he never thought about it.
The Tiger-Character Banner started in Datong and has never lost a battle. It has captured the Tumut Grassland, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and now it is attacking Shandong. The Ming army kept retreating and retreating along the way.
Just when the army of slave thieves was besieging Jinzhou City outside Jinzhou City, the battle between the First Battle Division of Tiger Character Banner and the Ming Army in Shandong also started.
As soon as Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shandong, took office, he directly took charge of Jinan Prefecture.
Jinan Mansion not only has the governor's office, but also the Dewang vassal. At the same time, Commander Sun Chuanting's troops are not too far from Jinan Mansion.
When Fu Zonglong took office this time, he only brought some salary. In addition, he knew that the rebellion could only rely on the existing troops and horses in Shandong, and the one he could rely on was Sun Chuanting's troops.
Having experienced the counter-insurgency in Sichuan, he knew that only those with money and soldiers would be able to counter-insurgency.
The soldiers and horses under Sun Chuanting's command were the soldiers he valued. In addition to the silver he brought, the other big family he could count on was the Dewang Domain.
Even the wealth accumulation of several generations of the Tokuoh clan was the most important thing.
As for the soldiers and horses coming from Denglai, he didn't count on them at all. Governor Denglai was there and under the control of Governor Jiliao. His words as the governor of Shandong might not be effective in Denglai.
After the Tiger Character Banner captured Ziyang Qufu, they attacked Laizhou all the way east. They did not use too many troops against Jinan Prefecture, so most areas of Jinan Prefecture were very safe for Fu Zonglong.
"Supervisor, Sun's troops are here." A guard came in from below to announce.
Hearing this, Fu Zonglong hurriedly said: "Invite people in quickly."
With that said, he stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.
He valued Sun Chuanting very much.
Not only because Sun Chuanting had soldiers and horses in his hands, but more importantly, he saw in Sun Chuanting his own self in Sichuan.
I know that this is a civil servant who knows the military. As long as he does not die young, he will be at least a governor and governor of the same place in the future.
"Your Majesty pays homage to the Supervisor."
As soon as Sun Chuanting came in from outside the house, he saw Fu Zonglong who had already walked to the door and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Fu Zonglong stretched out his hand to take off Sun Chuanting's arms and greeted him affectionately: "Sun Bing, don't be so polite. Come take a seat with me and serve tea quickly."
While helping Sun Chuanting walk into the house, he did not forget to explain to the people outside.
"The Superintendent is really putting down the official." Sun Chuanting has also been an official for many years. He was moved and worried at the other party's failure to submit to the official.
I was moved because the other party, a dignified supervisor, treated him with such condescension as a subordinate. But I was worried because the other party did so because he must have asked for a lot.
Fu Zonglong arranged Sun Chuanting on the chair on his left, then walked back to the main seat and sat down. He said with a concerned look on his face: "Sun Bingbei has worked hard on this journey. You haven't encountered any trouble!"
"I didn't encounter any trouble. The journey to Jinan Mansion was smooth." Sun Chuanting bowed to Fu Zonglong.
"That's good, that's good." Fu Zonglong stroked his beard, and then said, "Right now, chaos is happening in Shandong. I will have to rely on Sun Bingbei in the future. I also hope that Sun Bingbei can work with me to put down the chaos here." Chaos, but a bright and sunny day.”
Sun Chuanting stood up from his seat, bowed his waist towards Fu Zonglong, and said, "I will obey the supervisor's instructions in everything I do."
"I must remember this. When Sun Bingbei is needed, Sun Bingbei must not make excuses to refuse." Fu Zonglong said to Sun Chuanting with a smile.
As for what Sun Chuanting said about following his orders, he didn't take it too seriously.
He has seen many soldiers, especially civil servants like Sun Chuanting. He cannot completely believe the guarantees he says. It is more about the agreement of interests.
Sun Chuanting immediately patted his chest and promised: "As long as the supervisor needs a subordinate, the subordinate will be at your call."
"I take these words seriously, but there is something we need to discuss with Sun Bingbei at the moment." Fu Zonglong took over the conversation.
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately understood that the other party was making a request.
Thinking of this, he asked: "I don't know what the supervisor is going to say. I will do whatever I can do."
He left himself a way out.
Although the other party is the governor, he cannot really work for him wholeheartedly. He is not willing to count money for others after being sold.
"Your Majesty sent me to Shandong mainly for the Tiger Flag in Shandong. On this issue, Sun Bingbei should be able to share my feelings." Fu Zonglong said.
He knew that Sun Chuanting's purpose in coming to Shandong was also to deal with the Tiger Flag in Shandong.
If Sun Chuanting had not been in Shandong for so long and still failed to satisfy Chongzhen regarding the tiger-character flag, he would not have come to Shandong from being governor of Shuntian to become governor.
"I wonder how the Superintendent plans to deal with this group of tiger thieves in Shandong?" Sun Chuanting looked at Fu Zonglong.
He also wanted to see what Fu Zonglong was capable of. If he was someone who said he was powerful but didn't have much real ability, he would even keep a certain distance from Fu Zonglong.
As a scholar, he had read too many books about the principle that an incompetent commander would kill an entire army.
