Chapter 156: Incorporating Military Households (Part 2)

Seeing that the shouting of his soldiers under his command did not have any effect, Li Guodong personally rode his horse out of the formation and slowly walked forward to the formation of the military households, preparing to personally call the rebels. Li Guodong was preparing to accept all of these thousands of military households, and half of the strong men were trained to be the elite troops of the future.

Twenty steps away from the military formation, Li Guodong stopped and looked around the formation of the military residence. He saw that the military residence was quite neat. The three circles on the outermost side were military residences holding wooden spears, with swordsmen and military residences holding other weapons behind them, and women, children, elderly and weak in the middle. Looking at the weapons in these military residences, it was simply terrible. Most of the spears in their hands were made of wooden spears sharpened at one end. The swords in the hands of swordsmen were rusted so that they could not emit light. They did not see archers and firearms. It must be that the bows and firearms and firearms were left in the warehouse for too long and had been scrapped. Looking at these military residences, only a very small number of people had armor, and most of them had only a piece of ragged cloth.

While observing the military households, Zhang Jin was also observing the young general who was walking over. He saw that the man was wearing a white helmet and white armor, riding a white horse, holding a long spear in his hand. The red tassel on the long spear and the red tassel on the phoenix wing helmet were snow-white, which looked particularly conspicuous. The general was very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome appearance. Zhang Jin sighed in his heart: A great majestic general is simply the rebirth of Zhao Zilong!

"I am Li Guodong, the chief general of this Ming cavalry! His original name is Li Laoer. Who is the leader of you rebels? Do you dare to stand up?" Li Guodong pointed to the military formation in his hand and shouted loudly.

Zhang Jin was about to stand up, and several brothers around him advised him: "Brother, don't stand up! Maybe this dog official wants to lie to you and stand up to kill you! As long as you kill you, they will be able to deal with us. Brother, don't be fooled!"

After listening to his brothers' advice, Zhang Jin was still timid. Although he was so crazy a few days ago that he killed the officials and rebelled, it was because he really couldn't survive and would die if he didn't rebel. Now that he had robbed the food, had already eaten his stomach, he pulled up a group of brothers. He didn't want to be tricked out by the officers and soldiers and lured them out and killed them.

And looking at the appearance of the general in front of him, you know that he is not a fancy style. Although he is handsome, he has a murderous aura that only a veteran on the battlefield has for a long time. If you stand up, you may be stabbed to death by a spear in one round.

Seeing that there was no movement on the military household for a while, Li Guodong laughed and pointed at Changsai and said, "If you have the courage to take the lead in rebellion, you don't have the courage to come forward and admit it? Bah! I thought it was a hero!"

Zhang Jin was also a righteous man with a strong spirit. He was inspired by Li Guodong and immediately stood up: "It's me! It was me, Zhang Jin, who encouraged everyone to rebel! But what can I do if I don't rebel? The military pay has not been paid for several years, and it has been natural disasters. The court does not send disaster relief food. This general can ask us, the family members of the military households. Everyone has no family members! How many people have starved to death! The abominable officials themselves are still living a life of food. The family has stockpiled up a mountain of food, regardless of our life or death! Anyway, they are all dead. Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight to the death. If they rebel, they may have a way out!"

Li Guodong stabbed the ground with a long spear in his hand and shouted: "It's true that he is a man! It's right! Anyway, it's better to fight to the death! Those officials who harm the people, whether civil officials or generals, should be killed! They should all be killed! You are not wrong with this! I support you to kill all the corrupt officials in the world! If it weren't for those guys who were in corpses, harming the people, and not doing serious business, they would not have had internal and external troubles, leading to the invasion and robbery of Jiannu! But you should not think about taking over the thieves on the other side! Once you enter the thieves' den, you will be with the thieves and harming the poor people like you!"

"Then, general, tell me what way we have to live?" Hearing that Li Guodong hated those corrupt officials, Zhang Jin's attitude towards speaking was much better.

"Join us and follow us! Go outside the border to reclaim wasteland and farm farming to support yourself. When outside the border to farm, at least our fields are safe. No one will come to occupy our land and plunder the fruits of our labor! If you can trust me, Mr. Li, come with us! If you are obsessed with it and insist on joining the thieves on the other side, then I will not make things difficult for you today. If you want to cross the river, just meet on the battlefield in the future. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Although Zhang Jin and the military households still couldn't believe Li Guodong's words, many military households had already begun to be moved. In fact, the Chinese people are the kindest. Who would be willing to rebel as long as they had a bite of food? What they were worried about was whether Li Guodong's words were lying to them. When they deceived them, they would behead them and ask for merit from the court.

Li Guodong observed the military ranks again and found that they were a little loose, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Everyone is also my Ming people. How can I bear it if I asked me Li to kill the Ming people? Don't worry about Li going back on his word, and let me tell you one more thing: You are still taking food to the other side, right? But the thieves on the other side have no food. If you go to the other side, you will soon be robbed of all your food! After eating all the food, they will still eat human flesh! Your surviving wives and children will become their food! You think about it again, whether to go to the other side!"

Zhang Jin took a step forward: "General Li, our Yulin Guard has been fighting with the Mongolian Tartars for more than two hundred years! If we go to a place outside the border, isn't it the territory of the Mongolian Tartars?"

"Although my land of Li is outside the border, it is mountains, rivers and rivers. The Mongols can only be the king of the grasslands. Once they enter the mountainous areas, they are no match for us! If you don't believe it, you can go to Li's sand ditch first to take a look. If you think it is feasible, then take everyone there; if you think it is not feasible, Li will not stop you from going to the thief."

Hearing Li Guodong's sincere speech, Zhang Jin turned to the military households and shouted: "Dear brothers and sisters, instead of being a thief, we might as well go with General Li! We can survive in the farming outside the border! We don't have to be afraid of Mongolian Tartars! Our men in Yulin Guard have fought with the Tartars for more than two hundred years! If the Tartars dare to come, we will kill the enemy with General Li!"

"Okay! Let's listen to Brother Zhang!" The military households responded enthusiastically.

In this way, Li Guodong took more than 6,000 military households out of the Great Wall from Yulinwei, heading north, crossing the Yellow River near Hetao, crossing the Daqing Mountains, walking along the Rabbitmao River, and returning to Shabeigou Village.

After all, there are many women, children, elderly and weak in the team. The team is walking slowly, and it is a thousand miles away from Yulin to Shabeigou. It took more than a month for the team to return to Shabeigou. Li Guodong took the cavalry from Shabeigou to Yulin Guard, which took only eight days.
