The owner of the car waved the whip and threw a loud whip flower. The horses ran briskly. The people along the way couldn't help but look forward to it. They saw that the car was full of Tartars' heads, shaved their heads, and only a small braid was left outside. Although the heads were treated with lime, they still emitted a strong smell, which made people unbearable to look at them.

The common people couldn't help but look around, and suddenly they were almost blinded by the back of the carriage. They dared to swear that they had never seen so many war horses in their lives.

There are red, blue, white, and yellow. Each of them is fat and strong, with an extraordinary spirit. Especially the number is amazing, with almost no end. As the children count, their eyes are sore, but they still cannot count how many war horses there are. These war horses are driven and quickly heading to Kaifeng.

"Boss, look at this horse is so majestic!"

The man straightened his waist from the ground and said with a smile: "It's true, didn't you see it? An** has won the battle again. I want me to tell you, how many Tartars have come, they are all delivering vegetables. It won't take long, and the world will be peaceful!"

"Oh, I used to say that a good man would not be a soldier, but now I see, it would be great if I could join An**. You said that if my son rode a tall horse and walked in front of the villagers in front of the village, how might we be so majestic!"

The man was silent for a while and shook his head: "Do work hard. This time I have collected the food. Let the boys eat better and keep their bodies strong. Their recruitment talents are worthy of!"

As a representative of the meritorious soldiers, Lu Dongyong was responsible for escorting the seizures to Kaifeng all the way. All the people along the way were looking admirable. He was particularly comfortable, pulled his chest high, and even the joints rang out.

All the way to Kaifeng, Gu Zhenhua personally welcomed their arrival at the city gate.

Lu Dongyong hurriedly jumped off his war horse, took a few steps to Gu Zhenhua, and raised his hand to salute!

"Report to the Duke of the Kingdom, Bei Yi was ordered to offer 2,758 Tartar heads, including Gushan Ezhen Junta and Ye Keshu, and 5,680 war horses. Please give me instructions!"

Gu Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "There are many others, just so many war horses, you are the first to do it. You did a very good job!"

Fang Jianming, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Mr., with these more than 5,000 war horses, I think we can build a horse farm!"

"The horse farm? It's true that there is a special horse-raising base. Have you chosen the right position?"

"I'll choose it. I'll be in Nanyang. I'll have a low-key job and make a decision. I spent 50,000 taels of silver to ask the barbarians to buy twenty stallions on their behalf."

"Fifty thousand silver? Twenty horses?"

Yue Polu immediately widened his eyes, and he couldn't help but scream: "Brother Fang, did you buy a golden horse or a silver horse? Why is it so expensive?"

Fang Jianming smiled and said, "Captain Yue, the ancients had a fortune to buy horse bones, but a thousand-mile horse was never cheap?"

"Ah?" Yue Polu was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Fang Jianming. He asked in surprise: "Do you think these twenty horses are all thousands of miles away?"

Fang Jianming sighed: "The Central Plains lacks good horses. Most of the Tartars use Mongolian horses. They have good endurance, but their speed and sprinting ability are not enough. I heard from Joshua Chan that the war horses of the Western Yi are one foot taller than Mongolian horses, more majestic and agile, and faster, just like the sweaty and bloody horses that the Han Dynasty got from the Western Regions back then!"

"Oh my god!" Yue Polu suddenly became energetic and said hurriedly: "Dude, if you have such a good horse, you must first equip our winged cavalry. If our war horses can surpass the Tartars, I can guarantee that the Tartars will definitely be vulnerable, even ten times more, I am not afraid."

Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "Didn't you hear that these twenty horses are stallions and they have to cross with local war horses. It is estimated that they will take three to five years to equip them."

When Yue Polu heard this, he was a little excited. It seemed that he had to wait!

Gu Zhenhua said to Fang Jianming again: "I think it is worthwhile to introduce Western-Japanese stallions, and not only should I introduce one, but I also have to cultivate my own war horses. Emperor Wu of Han worked hard to get a sweat-blooded horse, but it turned out to be improperly breeding and disappeared. It is a pity. You must keep a purebred stallion."

After explaining, everyone was happy and happy, letting the soldiers walk through the downtown area with their heads, attracting countless people to watch, and everyone was amazed. Although this victory could no longer make everyone fascinated, everyone was still very excited.

"If you want to say that our country's prince is capable, one victory after another, and you will be safe. There is nothing else, and you will sleep soundly!"

The people were talking and were particularly happy. Gu Zhenhua was not so relaxed. The information in the past two days made him frown.

He had to summon all the civil and military officials to let everyone discuss a countermeasure together.

Wu Kaijie first introduced the situation to everyone: "Everyone, while the Tartars were harassing northern Henan, they had already attacked Shandong, and just two days ago, they had already captured Qingzhou, and the Tartars surrounded Jinan with heavy troops!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

Chen Qianfu couldn't help but say, "Jinan is the provincial government of Shandong. If there is any loss, the entire Shandong will not be protected!"

Gao Hongtu even said: "It's not just Shandong is not guaranteed, but I think even Nanzhili is in danger."

Just as Gao Hongtu finished speaking, someone ran in with emergency information and sent it directly to Gu Zhenhua. Gu Zhenhua unfolded and couldn't help but sigh.

"Good words don't work, bad words are effective, Jinan has been lost!"

"What?" Everyone present was shocked.

"This, how is this possible? Jinan is at least the provincial capital, and the city is in the south. I heard that Shige's headquarters has been operating for a long time, so why is it vulnerable?" Chen Qianfu asked in surprise.

Gu Zhenhua shook his head: "If it weren't for Shi Kefa, maybe it would be better!"

Gu Zhenhua threw the information to everyone casually, and everyone couldn't help but look at it. Li Jibo and Wu Kaijie couldn't help but recite it: "There are words on the left and right, and Shi Gong is afraid, so he goes out of the camp and flees to Yanzhou. The righteous men in the two rivers are disgraced and cry, and they cry and don't stop."

When everyone heard this poem, they seemed to see the people begging each other hard, and the kind and righteous people were brave enough to fight for the country. Only this Lord Shi was depressed and fled in a hurry! He just ignored the people's cry and begged!

"Shi Kefa will ruin the country!" Li Jibo couldn't help but sigh, and the other generals even tightened their grip and were very angry.

To be fair, for historical reasons, Gu Zhenhua always had a slight favoritism towards Shi Kefa and could not bear to kill him. When dealing with the Donglin Party, he did not attack Shi Kefa. On the contrary, he agreed to him take the lead and preside over the overall situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Shi Kefa may not have enough talent, but An** has already taken the lead in resisting the Qing Dynasty. In Shandong, he only needs to appease the people, repair cities, and consolidate military and military affairs. Even if he is not good, he can hold on for ten days and half a month. This way, An** can also be convenient for support.

Just after Gu Zhenhua defeated Ma Shiying at the beginning of the year, he was worried that the Tartars would rekindle the war, so Gu Zhenhua had suggested that Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing go north and help Shi Kefa defend Shandong.

In exchange for their consent, Gu Zhenhua even gave up Xuzhou. This was to shrink the troops and make An ** form a powerful fist, and to satisfy Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing's appetites, so as to save them from causing trouble.

To be honest, Gu Zhenhua has no high expectations for them and does not expect them to win. As long as he can hold on to the city, it is enough. After all, after An** has won so many victories, the morale and civilian spirit of the whole country have also been inspired. It will not be like history, and it will be like it is!

However, the facts proved that Gu Zhenhua was outrageously wrong.

When Shi Kefa first entered Shandong, it happened that the Qing army was working hard to deal with the Dashun Army and An**. The main force of the Qing army withdrew from Shandong. The people in Shandong were in trouble one after another, and the people's hearts were rising for a while.

Some staff members suggested that Shi Kefa take the opportunity to attack Tianjin, but he refused to listen. Some people suggested that Daming Mansion be attacked to alleviate the pressure of An** in northern Henan. As a result, Shi Kefa said that the weather was very cold and it was inconvenient to send troops.

If you can't fight, you should manage your nest and consolidate Jinan, Qingzhou and other places. At least you can resist the attack of the Tartars. But this old man didn't even do this, and the Tartars easily took two places.

Wu Kaijie also gritted his teeth and couldn't help but say, "There are even more ridiculous things. The Tartars attacked Jinan. Shi Kefa issued an order in the morning to let Gao Jie's troops march into Yucheng to guard against the Tartars. As a result, at noon, he ordered the army to stop temporarily, but in the afternoon, he ordered Gao Jie to return to Licheng immediately. The order changed three times a day and went in a completely different direction. As a result, Gao Jie was angry and did not go to save Jinan and fled back to Yanzhou with his men. Shi Kefa also abandoned Jinan that night and fled south."

Faced with Shi Kefa's behavior, Gu Zhenhua could only sigh to the sky. Mediocre officials are more terrible than corrupt officials! Especially this mediocre official has a good reputation, which is simply a disaster to the country and the people and not a life!

Li Jibo said with a calm face: "In the past five days, Qingzhou and Jinan were both lost, and Shandong could not be saved. I am worried that even Xuzhou will be in trouble!"

Chen Qianfu also sweated on his forehead and said hurriedly: "Dude, what should you do? Are you going to send troops?"

Gu Zhenhua shook his head firmly: "No, how many people are there in An**? How can we defend along the Yellow River thousands of miles away?"

"That's right, summer is coming soon, and the people are looking forward to food to help their lives. If they force troops to send troops, it will definitely damage Henan's vitality, and the foundation of An** will be shaken!"

While the guys looked at each other, someone suddenly hurriedly ran in, holding a document of emergency in his hand.

"Duke, this was sent by Shige's ministry. He said that he was old and weak and could not bear the heavy responsibility. He asked the Duke to send someone to help Yanzhou. He was willing to abdicate and give way to the wise!"

Before Gu Zhenhua could make a statement, another 600-mile letter was sent from Nanjing in a hurry. This was a document issued by Ruan Dacheng, asking An** to send troops to guard Shandong.

Everyone was still digesting this information, and the gentry of Xuzhou jointly sent a letter of ten thousand words, asking the security ** to protect the safety of Xuzhou.
