Among the bandits, there was also a general in charge of the army. All the generals rushed over from the mountains in western Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan. It took about half a month to gather together.

In the hottest period, they were rushing through the forest and deserted ridges, and sometimes they had to face the pursuit of the village sanguines and the wing army, and the road was very difficult.

These people have followed Li Kaiming for many years, and each team has sent a large army-level leader to restrain him. Therefore, after more than a year of separation, the troops did not scatter. This is a very rare situation among the remaining bandits, and it can even be said to be unique.

Now they are located in Jianzhou. If you look down at Jianchang County, you will find the location of Jianzhou Prefecture. If you walk more than a hundred miles northeast, you will find the location of Jianzhou Prefecture.

Li Kaiming set up a flag here, and his command had gathered tens of thousands of poor miners and people. With the addition of these old subordinates, their strength had increased dramatically.

A large number of miners have flown out of Jianzhou to join Nan'an Town. At least more than 10,000 people have been qualified and have moved in Nan'an Town or military camps.

After he set up the flag, more than 10,000 miners joined, and the old camp soldiers gathered together immediately looked like an army.

The soldiers of the old camp served as military officers at all levels and organized the newly joined miners to train them in just ten days. At least from the surface, the appearance of an army has already appeared in front of us.

When these poor people first arrived, they were really crying. The tax burden of Wei was originally quite heavy. Jianzhou was originally a place with developed industry and commerce, and ordinary people could easily find jobs. In the past six months, the iron mines went bankrupt and the miners had high incomes and could not bear it. Many people who broke up their lives had no source of living, but there were also many miscellaneous taxes such as taxes. They could only sell their property and pay taxes. Otherwise, they would be arrested in prefectures and counties, and they would suffer all the hardships and have to spend money to bribe the servants to save their lives.

In the past six months, at least hundreds of people have died in the city standing in a cage or carrying shackles.

Under such severe punishment and urgency, many people handed over their food and seeds. The whole family filled their belly with wild vegetables and fruits. Every adult was pale and thin, and the children were even thin as skeletons.

This time, many people have only been able to eat this rice with rice after several months. Although it is the rice with wild vegetables from Lai Xi, it is undoubtedly a delicacy for these people.

After the news spread, hundreds or thousands of people joined in each other every day, and the food gradually disappeared. Fortunately, the food prepared by the Pu family was delivered one after another. After dozens of convoys, 30,000 stones of grain was nearly four million kilograms. The army strengthened more than 40,000 men, and the size of the family was nearly 100,000. It was enough to save some food.

Two months later, it was enough for Li Kaiming to stir up the storm and establish a foundation.

"I've seen the big palm plate, the second cabinet."

Several more bandits rushed over, most of them came from Jingnan. The bandit spirit was quite strong. That was because Jingnan was in chaos. There were a large number of bandits in almost every deep mountain. These people did not have to hide their traces, but they fought for a family and robbed them in Jingnan for a living. They were not like other bandits who wanted to hide their traces. Therefore, they had a strong bandit spirit on their bodies, and they could tell at a glance that they were not good people.

These people respect Li Kaiming quite a lot. Every powerful person who holds a sword will half-kneel in front of Li Kaiming. For the Wei people, in addition to the great dynasty who worship the emperor and meet the prime minister and prince, they will kneel down on their legs when worshiping ancestors. Half-kneeling is already a sign of special respect.

Li Kaiming would pat the leaders of the returning crowd, sometimes hugging each other, saying a few jokes, and saying a few words. The slight alienation and indifference of not meeting each other for a long time disappeared without a trace. Many bandit leaders gathered together, first looking around, and then they all started to laugh loudly.

"This time, I will definitely succeed!"

"We will also be the king of the Great Palm, and we will also be appointed as marquis and generals."

"Who is the prime minister?"

"Who else is qualified except for the second cabinet?"

"The second cabinet is not the Privy Councilor, the Grand Marshal?"

"Can't you call Luo Xiaozi the prime minister? Is he so qualified?"

"Then catch a famous scholar and get a sign and hang it up for him."

"This time we want to govern the county, everyone has to manage the prefectures and counties. Apart from copying some notorious gentry and grain outdoors, ordinary big households, wealthy businessmen, and people cannot move. This is what Dazhangpan specifically ordered. If we conquer a state, we must manage one, collect taxes and train flags and soldiers normally. We will never be chased by officers and soldiers like rabbits as we did back then. After years of adulthood, we have no time to take a breath."

Many generals, as well as counselors like Luo Dwarf, all passed on Li Kaiming's will to prevent these newly gathered old brothers from accidentally breaking military law.

Li Kaiming was filled with excitement and excitement between his eyebrows. No matter what, even if the start was not smooth, he was still on the right path now.

It is not difficult to take Jianzhou first, then Quzhou and Fuzhou. With more than 20 counties and millions of people in the three prefectures, it is not difficult to support 300,000 troops.

The Jianzhou iron industry was restored, and weapons, armor, crossbows, bows, arrows were built every day and night, and the officers and soldiers were fought with the advantages of elite soldiers and mountains. This uprising was to establish a foundation and never be a bandit.

"It's almost noon?"

Liu Maoqi looked at Li Kaiming and said, "Do you can't get there today?"

Li Kaiming felt a little anxious and said, "Then Li Gu is a reliable person, meticulous."

People, he said that today should be today. If you can't get there, it's a mess..."

Liu Maoqi knew that the boss in front of him was already quite anxious under the calm surface.

The materials Li Gu agreed to have only tens of thousands of stones of grain in place, and there are still more than a dozen people who escort grain, all of whom are at the level of minions. They don’t know how to do anything at all. Li Kaiming would not make things difficult for these small characters. He only asked people to join the army to serve. When fighting, they were cannon fodder in the front row. There was no need to be serious about it. After a few battles, they would almost die.

However, important matters such as armor and weapons were said to have come with a large number of military officers.

Li Kaiming had already made up his mind to deal with the military officer sent by Li Gu, but he did not receive weapons and armor, and he still did not receive cash. This made Li Kaiming feel a little anxious.

Now the banner has been raised, and several of the surrounding gentry and grain households with poor reputation were sent by Li Kaiming to wash them. If you wash them, you will kill them. This is a must-do before the bandits rise up.

If such a tragedy occurs in the local area, the people around you will suffer, and they will have to rebel if they do not.

In this way, the source of troops will be endless, but the food will be enough for a while, and the cash you get is only tens of thousands of yuan. There are also some antiques, gold and silverware, and valuable wooden pieces that will not be exchanged for a while.

Without money, people cannot serve sincerely. When bandits can sway Ding Zhuang and their families and rob, they will gradually solidify people's hearts with the stolen money.

If you want to build a foundation, you have to pay your wages at the beginning and hire people to do all kinds of work. You cannot force yourself to use people's power for free.

If you don’t have money to come, or if you don’t have armor and weapons, the trouble will be a big deal.

"Liao Xiaozi brought a team of people to the Gukou area to detect the provocation." Liu Maoqi frowned and said, "Liaozi, you are quite cautious in your work. If you have any news, please report it quickly."

...

"See the convoy."

After walking in the town for a while, Luo Zhenbang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to a horse army leader beside him: "It seems that it is the convoy in front of him, well, that's right."

Not far from the center of the town, a three-story restaurant stretches for more than two miles, with more than a hundred large cars parked on the side of the road. When few pedestrians in the town passed by, they looked at the convoy with curious eyes, and some even looked forward. The convoy had no one to take care of except for the carriage-holder, and let these people watch.

Luo Zhenbang was surprised, then angry. These bastards put these most important things and the convoys on the street, and there was no one to take care of them.

If it weren't for the current situation in the Great Wei Dynasty, there would always be inspectors from the Xiang Army or the Execution Department stationed at Gukou. Once an abnormal situation was discovered, they would immediately summon troops to suppress these bastards and pacify them.

At that moment, Luo Zhenbang suppressed his anger and rode his horse to the restaurant. From a distance, he heard the sound of wine and food inside. The aroma of wine and dishes came to his face.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the upper and lower floors were occupied by the people sent from the Zhao Palace. More than 100 people were wearing various robes, but they could still be seen as military officers. Although these guys were mostly generals from the general family, most of them were concubines, but most of them were concubines who were not legitimate. The family sent them to the palace as teeth generals, which was considered to be fulfilling their responsibilities. They also practiced martial arts since childhood, and had a cinematography. The tiger's mouth was full of calluses, their finger joints were extremely thick, their shoulders were wide, and their muscles had obvious bulging shapes. These were all typical martial artists.

But the people in front of them were shouting and shouting, blushing and fighting non-stop. They did not take the current convoy and the heavy responsibilities at all. They were obviously incompetent and did not deserve to become military officers at all.

Before Luo Zhenbang was a bandit, he had seen many civil and military officials in the Great Wei area. He naturally knew that there were civil officials who were responsible for their duties, military generals who died of suicide, and of course there were also mediocre people in front of him. Even this generation was the mainstream of civil and military officials in the Great Wei.

He held back his anger, walked to a table, clasped his fists and said, "Luo Zhenbang, you should be told about your identity before leaving the city. I wonder which one can be the master of the family?"

A toothed man was already drinking, and he blushed and said to Luo Zhenbang with his eyes slanted: "Are you just a short Luo? Master Li has repeatedly reminded him, which is so impatient. Please wait outside, let's drink for a few more times and then go out."

Luo Zhenbang's face turned pale. He was also regarded as a strategist in Li Kaiming's army. Although Li Kaiming, Liu Maoqi and others did not pay much attention to it, they would at least listen to his advice. The generals who commanded ten thousand people and thousands of people among the bandits also praised him as official titles and would not call him his bandit title in person.

And these young military officers in front of them, who are at most a whistle-level officer, dare to despise him so much and underestimate him!

Luo Zhenbang was still waiting to speak, but was pulled by the leader of the horse army behind him. The other party shook his head gently. Luo Zhenbang understood and immediately squeezed out a smile on his face, saying, "Drinking slowly, this journey is like a big roc spreading its wings, and it is about to fly high. The future is thousands of miles away. It is just around the corner. It is worth drinking a few more cups at this time."

Hearing these words, the prince's mansion, who was disturbed by the wine, did not say anything else. He just glanced at Luo Zhenbang and continued to drink with his fellow comrades on the table.

Luo Zhenbang walked out of the mess, of course, was extremely shocked and angry.

After leaving the door, Luo Zhenbang whispered to the leader of the horse army: "Why don't you ask me to chase them on the road quickly? These military supplies are very important things."

"I have sent two horsemen back to report the message just now, and soon the second cabinet will send cavalry to guard it." The horse army leader had a long slanted scar on his face, from his eyebrows to his mouth. The scar twisted as he spoke, looking ferocious.

Abnormal. He looked at the restaurant and whispered: "These bastards were sent by the Zhao Mansion to separate power with us. The Dazhangpan and the Second Cabinet have decided, and they will move their hands in a while and not give them any chance. He originally planned to serve wine there and cook after drinking it, but now they drink so wildly by themselves, which saves a lot of trouble."

Luo Zhenbang was shocked. He knew that Li Kaiming could not really cooperate with Li Gu and others. According to Li Gu's judgment, it was only confirmed that Li Kaiming was the best to rebel in Jianzhou, so he was confident. However, he did not expect that Li Kaiming would cut off the constraints from the Zhao royal palace at the beginning of the uprising!

It is normal to think about it. With Li Kaiming's ambition, unruly personality, and the character of a bandit general including Liu Maoqi, how could he accept the constraints of the Zhao royal family?

Moreover, it is difficult to restrict these people and will be controlled by them with military supplies. A large number of miners and refugees will be diverted. How can one mountain and two tigers command the best and run harmoniously?

It can be said that people like Li Gu are just in the royal palace and the officialdom, and their hearts are strange, and the officialdom is indeed an expert. They are decisive in making conspiracies and act decisively, and they are also considered the number one person.

But compared with the real heroes who rolled on the head of the knife, dared to rebel, and were willing to sacrifice themselves without fear of being determined to be the world, Li Gu and others were nothing.

"This is the best." Luo Zhenbang suppressed his fear, grinned, turned around and looked at the restaurant that was still noisy, and said with a smile: "They are tactful, so they drink the dead head first."

The leader of the horse army also smiled slightly, looking at the restaurant with a lot of cruelty and desire before killing. These people really killed people a lot, and they could already regard killing as a pleasure.

Even though Luo Zhenbang had been with these people for a long time, he still couldn't fully adapt. He had to pretend to be happy and withdrew with the rest of the horse army to guard the restaurant and the convoy.

In the silence and weirdness outside, the atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely hot.

...

In the evening, the people in the royal palace who had eaten and drank were coming with the convoy.

Li Kaiming ordered a large number of people to light the torch. The tortuous mountain road was filled with the light of the torch and the bright golden turrets falling from the mountains. Although it was covered with mines, blast furnaces, and abandoned iron fields, there were still rocks, shrubs, and woodlands on the mountains. The bustling crowds, the strange feeling of the fusion of the destruction and the emerging, still makes people feel bright.

Many princes and officials were a little surprised, and even felt a little nervous.

Li Kaiming and Li Gu have cooperated less than half a month, and they have only been setting up a flag for less than half a month. In addition to robbing several large gentry and grain farmers, they are basically the same.

Without any movement, Jianzhou was originally extremely chaotic, with bandits occupying mountains and kings everywhere, gathering together into groups, and a team of thousands of people had long been there. Therefore, after Li Kaiming established the banner, except for the local officials in Jianzhou who knew and were frightened, the news did not even reach Fuzhou.

This is also a characteristic of the times. The news spreads slowly. In addition, officials will always subconsciously conceal the local situation. As long as Li Kaiming has not conquered Jianzhou's prefectures, he might as well suppress this in advance. If this bandit goes to Jiangxi or western Zhejiang, thank goodness. No matter how big the trouble is, it has nothing to do with Jianzhou. If that is the case, why bother to take matters?

Therefore, the people in the royal palace thought that the situation here would be quite simple, and even a group of helpless bandits were waiting for their help.

When these people from the Zhao Palace saw the "Li"-shaped banner raised, and then saw a large number of camps, tens of thousands of people building tents from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, or lived in the original old houses of the iron farm, and were walking everywhere. There were a large group of thousands of people holding spears made of wooden poles for training, their eyes showed confusion and nervousness... The actual situation was far from their imagination.

"Raise your left hand, move your right elbow down, twist your waist, and accumulate a force. Don't use all your strength to press the gun. Keep your strength. Swipe it like this. When you order to stab, grab the ground with both feet and stab it forward with your arms with waist force. Only when you have the strength can you kill the enemy!"

"It is difficult to learn swords and shields, and the gun array is not easy to learn. The swords and shields can be mastered in a year, and it takes three years to get started with gun skills. Don't underestimate the spear. It is not easy to use them well."

"Bows and arrows must be useless, they must be powerful. Thousands of people shoot arrows together. As long as they are facing the enemy's formation, no matter whether you hit the enemy or the robes around you, they can hurt the enemy as long as they are soft and weak, so can they be used for birds? Most of the officers and soldiers have armor, even the wing army also has leather armor or cotton armor, and the least they have paper armor. If your arrow is weak, they will wear iron helmets and lower their heads slightly. If you make a few sounds, your arrow will be released in vain."

"What we are talking about is for life. You are listening to it. If you don't listen, it's not someone else's death in the battle, but your own family. If you don't endure hardships in training, don't sweat, and let others kill your head on the battlefield, have you heard?"

Less than two thousand bandits had been dispersed, and the original small soldiers were all the whistle commanders and heads. Each of them was carrying dozens or hundreds of new troops, first practicing battle formations, queues, guns, shields, archery, etc. Although there were insufficient equipment, many people held wooden knives, wooden shields, wooden guns, and bows and arrows, which were shoddy folk products, but during training, these elite soldiers still showed unparalleled battlefield experience and ability. Their training was simple and direct, and the battle formation was not arranged in a variety of ways. They had to use several simplest arrays, based on the terrain, weapons, and the number of enemies. After they were arranged, they would connect with the enemy, in order to kill the enemy.
