These are all the experiences of the guards of the city gate. Generally, the older generation of guards will teach those new people what it means to observe their words and expressions. You cannot check those high-minded officials and nobles who are above the top. They are often high-ranking and powerful, and you cannot afford to provoke them. There are also a wealthy and arrogant businessman who often have a backer behind them, and you cannot afford to provoke them. The rest are also divided into people.

Those who are afraid of you and are timid when you see you, you can boldly bully them. Those who charge some tolls and benefits are all very familiar with them.

There are also some domineering people who have been slapped before you even came forward to interrogate. You must not provoke such people. What do they ask you to do? You'd better agree obediently, otherwise you will suffer.

Those who can slap the guards in the city gate are naturally some big names that you dare not even think about. Such people will be beaten in vain if you get beaten. This is all the experience of the gatekeeper.

The goalkeeper is a fat man, at least he exploits the poor, and his life is pretty good. However, high profits are also accompanied by high risks. There is no way to get wet when standing by the river. The gatekeeper guarding the city gate has never been slapped.

Li Hao led a few followers and rushed all the way. The Jinyiwei handled the case, especially the Jinyiwei in the capital, which was still a dignified thousand households, and he didn't take the local county magistrate seriously. Along the way, local officials were respectful when they saw it.

Youdao is a sesame official in the capital, and the local government becomes a high-ranking official. It means that an inconspicuous official with sesame and green beans will become popular when he arrives at the local area. For example, a fifth-rank official, a wealthy official in the capital, and a fifth-rank official is just ordinary. Others will not take you seriously at all. Moreover, you must be cautious in the capital, for fear of offending this or that.

If you arrive at the place, it will be different. A fifth-rank official in the capital rank is better than a prefect in the local area. Although the prefect is a fourth-rank official, you have to be respectful when you meet the capital rank.

A thousand households of Jinyiwei are a dignified fifth-rank official position. Putting aside the official position of the fifth-rank official position, the only word Jinyiwei is enough to make people feel broken.

Therefore, Li Hao and others were unobstructed along the way. However, after Emperor Chongzhen quashed the post station, there were few official road stations, and many times they had to sleep in the wild.

Along the way, there were white bones everywhere. Wherever they passed, they were shocking. Li Hao and others were secretly surprised, not expecting that the Ming Dynasty was in chaos. No wonder these bandits were so big that they could not lose their heads. Whose fault was the country that made such a fuss?

If there was no deviation in the history of this parallel world and Zhu Cilang remembered correctly, although Li Zicheng had hundreds of thousands of troops at this time, he still had a chance to exterminate him. Because Li Zicheng had just escaped from Yufu Mountain. This man led thousands of troops out of Shangluo Mountain, and instantly pretended to be a bandit with hundreds of thousands of troops.

To put it bluntly, it is called hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but in fact it has recruited hundreds of thousands of refugees who have been with their families. These people cannot even create any combat effectiveness. Once they encounter officers and soldiers, they will immediately disperse.

However, if Li Zicheng enters the hinterland of Henan and takes advantage of the situation to rob and grow stronger, it will be dangerous.

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting summoned his own Qin soldiers at Tongguan, he cheered and heard that the Qin soldiers who were formed and trained by themselves.

At this time, Li Zicheng was taking his bandit army all the way. Every time he occupied a county, he killed the local county magistrates and local gentry, and then opened warehouses to release grain. In name, he was to help the people, but in fact he continued to strengthen his team.

As the refugees gathered more and more, and eating up all the land, he would lead the army to fight the next place again. This cycle continued, and the team was snowballed and bigger. Because they were poor, the poor people had to follow them to survive. In this way, in just a few months, Li Zicheng had hundreds of thousands of bandits from thousands of soldiers like balloons.

When Li Hao and others were about to arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture was surrounded by Li Zicheng's refugees.

Li Zicheng's army of bandits was unorganized and undisciplined. To put it bluntly, it was a group of mobs. However, with more people, the elephants were afraid of ants. Hundreds of thousands of refugees surrounded Kaifeng. Just as the forces of Kaifeng Prefecture could not resist it for long.

Fortunately, Kaifeng Prefecture relies on the benefits of the city wall, and Li Zicheng's bandits were still a group of mobs, and they did not have the weapon to attack the city. For example, heavy stone throwing cars, ladders, etc. Even if they surrounded Kaifeng Prefecture, it would not take a moment to break through the city gate.

However, this made Li Hao and others suffer. They saw the endless bandits from afar and were all secretly surprised. Because Li Hao and others went to Huangtugang, Qi County, and inquired along the way, they finally found out where Li Yan was. However, to their great disappointment, Li Yan's family said that Li Yan went to Kaifeng Prefecture.

A Lishi Fangtan who was accompanying Li Hao was shocked and said, "Master Qianhu, what should we do? The bandits siege the city, we can't get in."

Fang Tan is the subordinate of Xiaoqi Guan Qing. Xiaoqi Guan Qing has some tricks on weekdays, so Li Hao brought him with him. Guan Qing pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Fang Tan, you guys come over and grab a few tongues."

The peasant army was in groups of three or five, and they didn't even have a decent system. Many people from even aristocratic families gathered together. With the order of the King of Chuang, everyone just rushed forward.

It was not difficult for Fangtan and the Jinyiwei to catch a few lonely tongues. Soon, they went out and caught a few bandits back.

Guan Qing pulled out his waist knife, went over and killed several bandits neatly, and then said to everyone: "Take off their clothes, let's put them on before talking about them."

That's right, if you want to get into the city, you must first get into the ranks of these bandits. The advantage at this time is that you can join Li Zicheng's army at will. Even Li Zicheng himself doesn't know how many people he has led.

Because Li Zicheng had just grown up like a balloon at this time, he planned to use this as a base to reorganize the team when he took Kaifeng. After all, hundreds of thousands of people who had been pulled up in a few months could not be trained at once. Every time they arrived at a place, they were just relying on the large number of people and power.

As long as Kaifeng is captured, the troops under his command will be organized slowly. Kaifeng Prefecture is said to have a lot of food stored, enough for them to eat for several months.

At that moment, Li Hao and others took off their clothes and marked them among the three big trees beside them. Then they dug a hole, threw their clothes in, and covered them with branches and grass. Then, they took off the bandits' rags and put them on their bodies. Everyone wiped their faces with mud, making their hair scattered. Now it seems that a group of them is no different from the bandits.
