Chapter 78 Arming

The war ended, and the people were unstable. In addition, there was a curfew in the city. There were no pedestrians on the streets, and only patrols passed by from time to time.

It turned out that Liu Tingyu's mansion had now changed his owner. After nightfall, the hall and room were brightly lit, and Meng Jiucheng was discussing the next action with his subordinates.

He defeated two armed forces with a devastating momentum, and the purpose of controlling the whole county was only a short ending and long-term operation. Meng Jiucheng decided to accelerate the pace of advancement in the east. The time was rare, so he did not dare to delay it at all.

To eliminate the complicated armed forces in the county, Meng Jiucheng was preparing to expand the Red Turban Army to 8,000 to 10,000.

Then, he planned to send a general to lead two or three thousand soldiers to build a village on Mali Mountain to block the north. At the same time, he gathered and reorganized the remnants of the Red Coat Army who were defeated in the south, so as not to disturb the base and strengthen the army.

He also planned to leave thousands of troops to the west and south of the base. Although the possibility of being attacked is not high, the necessary vigilance is still needed.

Meng Jiucheng will personally lead the main force of 4,000-step cannon cavalry to Rizhao eastward, and attack until the seaside sixty or seventy miles away, occupying Lanshan Port and opening up the sea outlet.

This is the second stage of attack and expansion. Before September, before Yang Aner's defeat, if time and materials allow, Meng Jiucheng still has the third and fourth stage combat plan.

There are still three or four months left, which is an optimistic estimate. Who knows if any unexpected situation will happen? According to this, Meng Jiucheng has to hurry up.

After telling the plan to advance east, Meng Jiucheng's eyes swept to everyone, not only to ask for advice, but also to ask them to volunteer.

Everyone thought for a while and felt that the plan was very detailed, at least there was no problem in the general direction.

Although there are not many Red Coat Army left behind, if they conflict with them at this time, there will be suspicion of stabbing the knife in the back; although the armed forces in Rizhao County are also known as the Red Coat Army, they only use their banners. In fact, they are just landlords, powerful people, or tyrants who strive to protect themselves. They are not strong and they are scattered, so it is easy to defeat them one by one.

"Building a village is something I'm good at." Zheng Si'an smiled and said without any hesitation of his history of occupying the mountain as king. "Give me two thousand men and I'll go to the north."

Xiao Ying was a little confused, worried that he would be too far away from Madam Ming, and that he would be inconvenient to contact each other, and he would be distant from his relationship. After hearing what Zheng Si'an said, he felt it was not good to be silent. Moreover, Meng Jiucheng had just explained that being responsible for vigilance in the west and south was a relatively relaxed job, and his headquarters was in Banquan Town, about twenty miles southwest of the county town.

"My sixth brother is in the north, so I'm in Banquan Town southwest of the county." Xiao Ying said: "My second brother and third brother are both civil and military, and you can be in the middle to support and support."

Meng Jiucheng felt that it was similar to what he thought, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked, "This will bring you the fifth master and the sixth master." After that, he turned to look at Han Shouzhong, Qiao E and others, and said, "You can follow me to fight and develop your foundation."

"Yes, I obey the order." Han Shouzhong and others stood up to salute and answered in unison.

Meng Jiucheng pressed down and said, "Tomorrow begins, the five masters, commanders Han, and commanders Qiao each lead 500 troops to wipe out the surrounding areas and eliminate the enemy's remaining soldiers. We strive to end the battle within five days, rest and reorganize within ten days, raise supplies, and then the army will fight eastward."

"yes!"

Everyone was almost satisfied with Meng Jiucheng's arrangement.

Xiao Ying and Zheng Si'an volunteered, needless to say; Han Shouzhong thought he was a similar person anyway, and Wang Zhongfeng, Xiao Ying and others had no comparison with Meng Jiucheng, so he tried his best to show his strength. He attacked Lingyang Town and county town, and he hired as a vanguard to chase Liu Tingyu, and even led more than 30 cavalry who were not very skilled to chase and kill.

As for Qiao E, although she was slow to think, she was not stupid. She knew that she could not read the text and did not understand the strategy of military strategy, and relied on personal force. Therefore, she led the way in every battle and rushed bravely. Of course, Meng Jiucheng also knew her flaws, so she specially arranged two deputies for her to wipe out some remaining soldiers, which was quite reassuring.

After the discussion ended, everyone left, but only Zheng Si'an was kept by Meng Jiucheng. Compared with the map drawn by Meng Jiucheng, the two of them carefully studied it for a while and temporarily determined to build a fortress in Xiguankou, Fenghuangdun and Dadian Town in Hexi, so as to completely seal the road from Juzhou (the prefecture-level Ju County) to Junan.

As for the labor force to build the fortress, Meng Jiucheng had his own arrangements. There were many refugees, and the money, food and materials obtained by defeating Er Liu, which made this project that had not been able to be achieved before was no longer too difficult.

After the discussion, Meng Jiucheng saw Zheng Si'an away, and thought about the map again before taking off his clothes and resting.

…………

This is a blue, fresh dawn, the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the morning blend together, making people feel a sweet tiredness.

When Meng Jiucheng came to this era, he had discovered that this important achievement of reputation was great, so he had to deal with all kinds of people patiently. He could be merciless and decisive to the enemy; even though he was not happy with others, he might as well be as humble as a corporal.

The flags were changed to the top of the city and the owners were changed to the place. After a brief shock and suspicion, people with strong reputations were naturally indispensable to come and test. In the name, comforting one can be done, and accusing the old army of the crimes, but it will not be missing anyway.

Anmin's notice has been posted, and the military discipline of the Red Turban Army is strict, which makes the people in the city feel different. Liu Tingyu's head is already hanging on the flagpole in the city, and the signal released is very clear. He is finished and will not come back to take revenge, which also reassures the top figures.

After seeing off a few more merchants, Meng Jiucheng was relieved and returned to the room to consider and prepare to introduce some new policies to win people's hearts.

The county town experienced several chaos and destruction. First, Liu Tingyu and the thieves joined forces to Chameng, then internal strife between the two families. Later, Liu Tingyu won the counterattack. In addition to the robbery of the riots, Liu Tingyu was also plundering very much. Although it was cheaper in the end, it took more time to recover.

But reducing the burden and implementing favorable policies, Meng Jiucheng also understood that we should proceed step by step, leaving room for nothing, and not be able to do it in one step. The so-called promotion of mien, fighting against mien, is the mentality of human beings.

Since Meng Jiucheng's uprising, although he actually relied on robbing wealth to obtain money and food, he did not kill him. As long as he was not a stubborn man, he would just be skinned and cut off a piece of meat.
