The Bohai Sea looks like it is inside a tiger's mouth clamp. The tooth in the north that is deeply inserted into the ocean is the Liaodong Peninsula in the northeast. The one in the south is the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong.

Dengzhou, Shandong is this part of the boundary where the Jiaozhou Peninsula in Shandong penetrates into the ocean.

Since it has penetrated deep into the ocean, the north, east, south and three parts of the Jiaozhou Peninsula are surrounded by the sea. Only the west is connected to the land. Under such a natural environment, Dengzhou City has always been a relatively famous harbor in the north. Until the Qing Dynasty established a ban on the sea.

Dengzhou City is located in the north of Jiaodong Peninsula. It has always been an important military garrison. Since the Ming Dynasty, there were generals of Dengzhou, and generals were also set up in Dengzhou in the Qing Dynasty.

In the 22nd year of Kangxi, Jiaozhou Town was demoted to Jiaozhou Camp, the general was abolished, and the deputy general was replaced. At this time, there was only one general left in the entire Shandong Province, namely the general of Dengzhou Town. According to the green camp military system, the general was above the general. In the 21st year of Kangxi, the Shandong Admiral had been abolished. Although the governor could also control the general, it was a civil servant sequence. Therefore, in the Green Camp military system in Shandong Province at that time, the general of Dengzhou Town was the most essentially the highest official position. Therefore, the "Dengzhou Prefecture Chronicle" states: "The 27th Battalion of the Province was all subject to the control of the town."

Shandong has been peaceful for a long time, and Cangzhou Daying is quite serious on weekdays. There are many stalls outside the Daying who make money. Brother Li San’s family is not in Dengzhou City, so he shipped a large number of persimmon cakes to come. When he walked on the road to Dengzhou City, Brother Li San felt something was wrong. It seemed that something was filled with the air, something that Brother Li San had never felt in his life.

I saw the familiar streets in front of the Dengzhou Daying from afar. The familiar businessmen disappeared, and the familiar shops that always open the doors closed. The familiar crowds disappeared.

This surprised Brother Li San. While hesitating, he saw several Qing army soldiers on the street, waving and shouting loudly: "Take the persimmon cake seller here.

Not long after, Brother Li San tried to hold Bing Ding's leg, but was kicked away as he was assuming his chest. Just as Brother Li San screamed in pain, he heard Bing Ding scold him fiercely: "If you don't let go, I'll beat you to death."

A cart of persimmon cakes cost a lot, so of course Brother Li San refused to be snatched away by the soldiers. But these soldiers were like being possessed by evil spirits, and their bodies were full of murderous aura.

I heard the sound of the door, and a shop opened the door. One person walked out, but didn't say anything, helped Brother Li up and led him into the shop. The soldiers did not chase him, but just pushed Brother Li's car and walked into the camp.

The one who went out was Zhang Situi, the young shopkeeper of the shop. He helped Brother Li back to his shop and hurriedly closed the door. Brother Li was both scared, wronged, and heartbroken. When he arrived at this safe place, he immediately burst into tears.

The shopkeeper Zhang just asked Brother Li San to sit down with a dark face. The shopkeeper Zhang also came to the house and couldn't help but sigh.

After Brother Li finished crying, Zhang Manager Zhang advised him to go back first. Since Huo Chong rebelled, these soldiers were like being possessed by evil spirits and acted particularly violently. They first bought things without paying money, but then became more and more intense. From taking them publicly to snatching them like this, they would even hurt people. They fled all the businessmen who made money from the Dengzhou camp.

Hearing that Manager Zhang had a lot of complaints about Huo Chong causing these things, Manager Zhang couldn't help but walk out and said, "Dad, when did these officers and soldiers listen to Mr. Huo? Could it be that Mr. Huo asked them to rob them so randomly? It's not that they were going to commit crimes themselves?"

"Worry low!" Manager Zhang was frightened and quickly stopped his son from talking nonsense.

But when young people saw things they didn't like, they refused to hold them back. Zhang Situi cursed that the Qing army was all beasts. They liked to bully individuals on weekdays, and now they want to eat people even more.

Manager Zhang couldn't bear to listen and ordered his son sternly, "Tear me up."

Brother Li San finally understood that something big happened. He didn't care about the pain and quickly asked him what had happened in the past few months after he returned to his hometown.

Zhang Si was so angry that he was so angry that he finally opened the door and sneaked out of the monk. After walking for several miles, a small Taoist temple appeared in front of him. There are many people in Shandong who believe in Taoism, especially on the Jiaodong Peninsula. From the pre-Qin period, it is Penglai. It has always been one of the important places of Taoism.

There was no one in the Taoist temple. Zhang Si retreated and looked around, and walked out in disappointment. He wanted to leave, but he still couldn't help but want to find the Taoist priest who lived here. After a while, he saw someone walking out nearby, who was originally living in the Taoist temple.

"The Emperor of Wuliang Tianzun..." The Taoist priest proclaimed the sect.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. I agree." Zhang Situi said to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest looked happy, "Mr. Zhang is willing to do this, that is infinite merit."

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Si asked.

"Of course, Mr. Zhang will not let him take risks. As long as Mr. Zhang tells us about the camp he saw."

The Channel Chief Changxin, who had great influence on the Jiaodong Peninsula and even on Jiaodong, did not publicly announce his resistance to the Qing Dynasty, but he had actually started to do so. These believers formed an intelligence network to provide Huo Chong with information from the Qing army. Zhang Situi's joining made the front end of this intelligence collection network stand at the gate of the Dengzhou camp of the Qing Dynasty.

It was already March, and the former general of Dengzhou Xie Cilu had returned to Dengzhou. Li Shude was about to come, but he was ordered to go to southern Shandong and mobilized several camps in southern Shandong to attack Huo Chong.

There are 27 battalions of Qing troops in Shandong. Since the Qing army is also considered a military household system. Those who serve in the army are all fathers and sons, the situation of empty salary is not particularly serious now. In theory, there are 500 people in each battalion of Qing troops, but in fact they can maintain it to more than 400.

When the Qing army in the 27th Battalion in Shandong was fully staffed, there should be 13,000 people, but in fact there were more than 12,000 Qing troops. However, more than 3,000 were killed by Huo Chong. According to the system, these losses were quickly supplemented by his military families.

Although the total number of people has recovered, the new recruits are useless at all. At this time, only eight thousand veterans who can really join the battle are left.

Li Shude has already told Xie Cilu about how Gengyao thought of the last defeat. Both of them were guilty ministers and wanted to clean up their own problems. They had to win the battle. If they had their own minds and thoughts, they would have the same result, if they failed, they would be the end together.

It is related to Xie Cilu's future and current issues. Xie Cilu listened sincerely. He and Li Shude agreed to attack Huo Chong from both sides. The two sides should strengthen their liaison and not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

On the third day of the third month, Xie Cilu was ready to go to war. With an order, Xie Cilu, the general of Dengzhou, led eight battalions and four thousand Qing troops to set out from Dengzhou.

In the plan, the two thousand troops of the five battalions in southern Shandong will set off a few days later than Xie Cilu to avoid encountering the fate of being defeated by each of them last time.
