Finally, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I can also promise that as long as he doesn't come and provoke me, I won't mess with him. For his sake, I can accept the pleading. The court just gives me an official position that is no less than the second rank."

"Oh! Pray." Song Degang smiled bitterly silently.

He said in his heart, are you really willing to be pampered? How many times have you been pampered and how many times have you been making trouble? Even if Zhu Dadian suggests pampering you, the court should seriously consider it! With the example of the car box gorge, the current court is already very sensitive to the word pampering.

However, this project of face must be done. No matter how hypocritical it is, it must be done. Otherwise, Zhu Dadian would collude with the thief. Such a crime would be too serious. Since Zhang Zhun is willing to accept the pacification, then Zhu Dadian can submit a memorial to the court and decide whether to accept Zhang Zhun's surrender. If the court agrees, it will be fine. If the court does not agree, it will be something else in the future.

Soon, Song Degang took Zhang Zhun's request to repay Zhu Dadian. Zhu Dadian thought about it for a whole day and a night before giving a reply. Two days later, Song Degang came to Zhang Zhun again to complete the last link of the negotiation. Of course, these conditions were verbal and would never be recorded. As for binding force, it depends on the military strength of both sides.

Zhu Dadian agreed to all Zhang Zhun's request.

Zhang Zhun immediately ordered the Hu Ben cavalry to withdraw.

When the Huben cavalry retreated, the five hundred troops from Zhu Dadian Cavalry Camp took the initiative to attack and tried to pursue Zhang Zhun. As a result, they were inexplicably surrounded by the Huben cavalry, and all the officers and soldiers were captured, and then released back, and all the war horses were taken away.

Then, the Ming army chased after him, and the Hu Ben army retreated in front, as if the Hu Ben army could not bear it. One by one, one after another, followed step by step. By chance, both sides continued to shoot at the sky, as if the battle was very fierce. On March 22, the Ming army finally arrived at the city of Qingzhou. Then, both sides continued to shoot at the sky. Finally, all the Hu Ben army in Qingzhou City retreated and retreated to Changle County. The Ming army moved into the empty city of Qingzhou. Then, the two sides officially broke off contact.

"Old Song, I'm relieved to be stationed in Qingzhou Prefecture."

When leaving Qingzhou City, Zhang Zhun specifically greeted Song Degang.

"Oh! This is a really hard job!"

Song Degang sighed helplessly.

Zhu Dadian finally decided to have Song Degang stationed in Qingzhou Prefecture. Song Degang was really amused and crying about such an arrangement. He was stuck between Zhang Zhun and Zhu Dadian, and it was difficult for him to live a leisurely life in the future! At this time, Song Degang was quite regretful that he had to fight for the position of General Denglai to fight for the position of General Denglai. As a result, he sent himself into the crack.

Fortunately, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun should not take the initiative to attack him. If there is no major accident, both sides should be able to be at peace. If the court was too urgent, he might as well surrender to Zhang Zhun. Between the court and Zhang Zhun, Song Degang still felt that following Zhang Zhun had a better future, although it was a rebellion.

At the end of March, Zhu Dadian sent King Heng back to the Heng Palace. After spending a month's stay in the De Palace, King Heng was obviously greatly hit. His spirit has been depressed since then and he soon fell ill. Zhu Dadian's encirclement of Zhang Zhun ended in such a terrible way. As for the inside story, and the aftermath of service, of course, it will not dissipate easily. However, that is all for the future.

The current attention of the imperial court was still on the Shaanxi chaos army. Because it failed to successfully capture Fengyang Prefecture, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others, he led his troops to attack Qizhou, Huangzhou and other places. At the same time, there were troops of Shicaitian and others who continued to support the Guide Prefecture area in Henan, which was also very exciting. The nearby Ming army was beaten up and wailed.

Although the Fengyang Mansion was not taken down and the purpose of destroying the dragon vein was not achieved, the strategy of "dividing troops and setting the direction" proposed by Li Zicheng still achieved considerable results. His own prestige was greatly improved. This strategy laid a solid foundation for Li Zicheng to basically unify the rebel army in the future.

Relatively speaking, the court was a little trouble. Except for Yang Yipeng, the results of the others were ugly. Because the rebels were active in Qizhou and Huangzhou, they were in a mobile battle, and they were gone without a trace, Yingtian Governor Zhang Guowei led troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, which was obviously not enough. The biggest ability of this Yingtian Governor was to build water conservancy and benefit the people, rather than to march and fight. There was no way, so Emperor Chongzhen had to constantly urge Hong Chengchou to leave the customs.

At the end of February, Hong Chengchou, who had been hiding in Shaanxi, finally led his army out of seclusion. In March, in Henan, he and the rebel army fought five consecutive battles. The first battle was to kill more than 800 rebels. The second battle was to kill more than 3,400 rebels. The third battle was to kill 1,900 rebels. The fourth battle was to kill 3,300 rebels. The fifth battle was to kill 4,800 rebels. For a moment, the entire rebel army was shocked.

"Hong Laojiu is here! Run!"

"Hong Laojiu is here! Run!"

"Hong Laojiu is here! Run!"

For a moment, the entire rebel army exclaimed and avoided Hong Chengchou's edge. The rebel army, which was originally fighting in Henan, left Henan and turned westward, gathered again in Fancheng (now Xiangfan City, Hubei Province) to discuss how to deal with the fierce Hong Laojiu. Hong Chengchou immediately led his army to Ruzhou and continued to attack the Han River.

It was precisely because of Hong Chengchou's effective means that if he didn't make a sound, he would make a big splash. The court's eyes were attracted to the vicinity of Henan and did not pay much attention to the wars that took place in Shandong. Although Zhang Zhun was fortunate to be classified as a traitor by the edict and was fortunate to be ranked alongside Li Zicheng, Huang Taiji and others, his current ranking was still very low and he could not attract others' attention at all.

After evacuating Qingzhou City, Zhang Zhun stayed in Changle County for several days.

Changle County is now completely different from before. What is the difference? It turned out to be a town, but now it is a military fortress. In order to prevent the Ming army from entering Laizhou Prefecture from Changle County, Zhang Zhun established a huge military fortress here to deal with attacks from Qingzhou City at any time. All the city walls and buildings in the entire Changle County were reinforced by cement. However, the Hu Ben Army was not stationed here. The local militia stationed in Changle County was the local militia.

Due to the crazy massacre of the Ming army, the local people in Changle County hated the Ming army very much, and they were determined to follow Zhang Zhun to fight against the court. They spontaneously organized militias, with more than a thousand people, and almost all the young and middle-aged people in the city participated. Zhang Zhun naturally had to actively support such behavior, and he provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to the militias.

Weapons like the Huben gun cannot be used for militia, but the various cannons seized from the Ming army, the Lumi guns seized from the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group, and even the large spray guns seized from the Nanjing defenders were generously given to militia in Changle County. The performance of these weapons is better than that of ordinary mesh rope guns.

Now Zhang Zhun has a large number of captured weapons. There are thousands of fire guns of various colors. There are also cold weapons such as waist knives, spears, shields, bows and arrows, and there are also many cold weapons, densely packed with several large warehouses. Most of these weapons come from the Ming army defeated by Zhang Zhun, some from pirates, and some from Tartars from Tianheng Island.

Because Zhang Zhun controlled all parts of Laizhou Prefecture and integrated a large number of resources, Zhang Zhun's hands are basically all of the Hu Ben guns. The performance of these seized weapons is too far from that of the Hu Ben guns and is useless at all. For a time, Zhang Zhun had no way to deal with these weapons. He was originally going to be re-fueled, but then he thought about it and let it go. The cost of re-fueling is high, so it is better to smelify iron directly and continue to put it on.

Due to the establishment and scale of the recruit training camps, the original local troops, including guerrillas and armed forces, were also cancelled one after another. All the soldiers were added to the battalions of the regular army. All the weapons they originally used were vacated. The militia in Changle County needed these weapons, so Zhang Zhun naturally generously asked for whatever they wanted.

With a large number of weapons, the militia in Changle County was very enthusiastic. They sent their families to Laizhou Prefecture to resettle, and they were here to fight the Ming army to the death. Changle County was less than 100 miles away from Qingzhou City and could reach it in a blink of an eye. If the Ming army set out from Qingzhou City and attacked Laizhou Prefecture, they had to pass through Changle County. At this time, the militia in Changle County could play a big role.

However, as the situation developed, the Ming army finally retreated, and Song Degang led the Ming army to Qingzhou Prefecture, and Changle Fortress had no effect for the time being. Therefore, Zhang Zhun left a small number of militia here. As the outpost of Laizhou Prefecture, the other personnel retreated to Weixian in Laizhou Prefecture to help develop production. These people are all excellent laborers!

After leaving Changle County, Zhang Zhun returned to Laizhou Prefecture.

On Monday, Hang reported to Zhang Zhun about all related work.

By the end of March, the land reform work in Laizhou Prefecture had been completed. All other matters were formalized. After investing a lot of funds to build water conservancy facilities, millions of mu of land in Laizhou Prefecture had also been fully plowed. Compared with the previous field area, the rice sowing area this year was increased by 700,000 mu compared to the previous one.
Chapter completed!
