In the Liangguang Yamen in Zhaoqing, Ding Kuichu, Wang Huacheng and several senior officials from Zhaoqing sat in front of a table of wine and food, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Since Qin Zhao settled the land tax in Xiangshan County and ended his contribution, Qin Zhao has become a public enemy of Guangdong officials and was hated to the core. Now, no matter what the interests of the officials are, as long as Qin Zhao is mentioned, civil officials will all share the same hatred for the enemy.

The higher the senior management, the more he understands what Qin Zhao's rise means. Once Qin Zhao has the strength, he will completely overturn the dilemma of land tax in the late Ming Dynasty and completely tear down the interests of the gentry. Qin Zhao did this so that civil officials and gentry could not make a penny in land tax. Qin Zhao is only 2,000 soldiers now, and he is already so arrogant. What if Qin Zhao further advances the conference?

So Ding Kuichu and Wang Huacheng, who were originally hostile to each other, united in front of Qin Zhao.

Both of them were very happy today.

Because of the news ahead, Qin Zhao sent troops across Guangzhou and attacked Yinshan, Batou, Longmen County!

It is not easy to match the dam to the Yinshan Mountains of Batou.

It was a group of old bandits who had been around for a long time, and were thieves who had fled in from the northwest. The leader of the Batou bandits was also the number one among the Northwest bandits. He was known as "Splitting the Sky" and even led his troops to join Li Zicheng. Later, "Splitting the Sky" abandoned the refugees and new thieves who were bound, and led two thousand old thieves all the way south, which led to the current Batou bandits.

It is said that one of the elite troops of the Batou bandits can fight two Ming battalions, which is to belittle the Batou bandits. If those old thieves rush into the enemy's formation in armor and slash and kill, they can often defeat four or five times the opponent's army in one go.

Anyway, no army in Guangdong can beat the sky, so it allows the sky to occupy the best silver mine in Guangdong.

However, now, Qin Zhao, the brainless man, is going to provoke the Batou bandits.

Wang Huacheng laughed and said, "Duke Governor thinks Qin Zhao can walk under the BATou bandits for a few rounds?"

When Ding Kuichu heard Wang Huacheng's question, he laughed sarcastically. He was really old, with wrinkled skin on his face, and his smile seemed a little hideous on his face.

Ding Kuichu put the walnut in his right hand on his left hand, raised a index finger on his right hand, and smiled and said, "One round!"

"How many days have Qin Zhao recruited? Is there three months? What combat power does the new recruits have in these three months? Have you learned to hold a knife? Qin Zhao is so unaware that he dares to go up and fight against the old thief who has accumulated aging."

"He really thought this was Huguang, and he could hide behind friendly forces to shoot rockets?"

Everyone in the second hall laughed loudly, laughing so hard that they leaned back and forth.

Guangdong Chengxuan Zheng Zuo Zheng Zuo, said: "Dear officials! The armor of Qin Zhao's thousand veterans was all blown out during the rocket explosion. I heard that Qin Zhao's so-called "veterans" had never entered the battle formation in Huguang, and had never seen blood before. What kind of veterans are they?"

"His all ability is the rocket that is extremely mysterious and is said to be able to scatter flowers on the battlefield."

"But the rocket must have friendly troops blocked the front before it can be used. Who will block Qin Zhao this time? Did he rely on his more than a thousand new recruits who have never seen blood?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help laughing, laughing in the chair so hard that they leaned back and forth.

He Cunzhi, the right envoy of Guangdong's criminal investigation, burst into tears and said, "Qin Zhao bullied the archers and yamen runners of Xiangshan County, and thought his soldiers were invincible in the world? He was an 18-year-old boy, and he didn't know that the world was high."

"I've already arrived, the day he fell down."

Wang Huacheng said: "How fierce are those old thieves who have accumulated over the years? Qin Zhao attacked the other party's hometown in this way, and once they were destroyed, they would be massacred. Those old thieves would let go of these well-equipped new recruits, and they might kill Qin Zhao's 1,500 people."

"With Guo Xiao's vindictive character of splitting the sky, he must chase Qin Zhao to Jinghai Fortress and kill the people in Jinghai Fortress before he can stop."

"Next month, there will be no troublemaker Qin Zhao, the troublemaker in Guangdong!"

Ding Kuichu smiled more and more happily, and almost fell down on the chair.

After laughing for half a minute, he picked up the soju glass on the wine table and slapped the high officials around him.

"Today I heard such news, it was a great day! I would like to all Shangguans to have a cup!"

The officials wiped the tears from laughing and said, "You are welcome to be polite to Jianfu. We will wait for a cup to respect Jianfu!"

"We'll be in the throne for a cup!"

...

On October 20th, after ten days of walking, Qin Zhao entered Longmen County.

As soon as he entered the outskirts of Longmen County, Qin Zhao felt a depressing atmosphere. Many villages were dilapidated, some houses had broken roofs and had not been restored, and it was obviously uninhabited. Some of the good fields near the rivers were not cultivated, and they were abandoned there, and a tall weed grew.

There were piles of wood bucket fragments of mushrooms next to some wells, and there were weeds next to the debris, like no one had used the well for one or two years.

Obviously, the people in Longmen County were unable to continue to be happy, and many of them ran away.

Guangdong has been in peace for a long time. Although there are gentry extortions in other counties, they generally guarantee that the people can survive by eating bran and drinking. The last time Qin Zhao saw such a depressed scene was in Jiayu County, but he was temporarily ill, and he could recover from his anger after the war. However, Longmen County has obviously been plagued for a long time, and the people's livelihood has gone bankrupt.

Qin Zhao slowly stroked the horse's hair and sighed: "The people of Longmen County are suffering in such a state of suffering! Everyone should be punished by the bandits at the dam."

Qin Ning bowed and said, "What the Guardian said is very true!"

After a pause, Qin Ning said, "Governor, we are less than twenty miles away from the Yinshan Mountain of the Batou bandits. I wonder if the Batou bandits are preparing to defend Yinshan Mountain or to conquer the field with us?"

Qin Zhao didn't say anything.

Suddenly, three scouts cavalry rode back quickly in front of them. The three scouts checked the official waist card at their personal soldiers and rushed to Qin Zhao.

"Governor! We have just returned from reconnaissance near Yinshan, Batou. Guo Xiao heard that our army was coming, and led 4,000 bandits to capture the mountain and cover it up to us."

"It probably takes less than two hours before the bandits will attack here!"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "This dam head bandit has such a big momentum!"

He waved his hand and said, "All soldiers are wearing armor and ready to fight!"

The military order was quickly passed to the entire army, and the soldiers put on their armor and picked up weapons to prepare for battle.

The entire army formed a defensive circular formation and slowly drove towards Yinshan, Batou.

After walking for half an hour, smoke and dust suddenly flew in front of me, and the sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder.
Chapter completed!
