As the Han army retreated, more and more Ming troops arrived.

More than 100,000 troops gathered in Guangzhou, and their daily consumption was a huge number, which was enough to give Zhu Yue a headache.

If Zhu Youjian had not fought and Guangzhou had not sent supplies and money to Huguang, Zhu You'e would have enough money and food, but now Guangzhou really doesn't have much money.

If this money could be distributed reasonably, it would be barely enough. However, Guangdong and Guangxi had not experienced the turmoil since Chongzhen, and the bureaucracy had not changed. A large number of corrupt bureaucrats and small groups had long occupied important positions in various government offices. In addition, the corruption of the Governor Ding Kuichu was corrupt, and the results of the upward and downward were deducted layer by layer, which was not enough.

Generally speaking, after decades of dynasty, the class gradually solidified, the bureaucratic group gradually decayed, and the administration gradually collapsed, let alone the Ming Dynasty, which had been around for more than 270 years.

For a time, 100,000 Ming troops gathered together. Although they were all their own troops, they were constantly in order to compete for supplies, and some even robbed and ransomed shops, insulted women, and made Guangzhou smoky.

In order to ease the conflict and allocate military funds, Zhu Yue summoned all the generals to discuss and demanded that each general restrain the soldiers and not provoke trouble.

At this time, Li Dingguo came out of the residence of the Prince of Yue. It was too late, so he took his guards back to the camp outside the city.

The Western Army was a guest army, and could only be stationed outside the city, but could not enter Guangzhou City. There were also several Ming troops who arrived, all of whom were stationed outside the city.

Li Dingguo rode a war horse and Bai Wenxuan next to him said, "King, I see that most of the officials in Guangzhou are terrible. If they were asked to command, this battle would definitely not be fought!"

After today's discussion, Zhu Yue left Li Dingguo to discuss separately, and in his words, he meant to recruit Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo nodded slightly, "The King of Guangdong is still wise and has the will to do things, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty are indeed corrupt. Ding Kuichu is greedy for money and dares to embezzle military funds, while Su Guansheng is greedy for power and wants me to obey their orders."

Bai Wenxuan immediately said, "King, when I was in the West and wanted to conquer Hanzhong, I was deceived by Fu Shangrui. No matter what, the king could not hand over the military power. He had to maintain the independence of the Western Army and not let those corrupt officials make trouble."

The two of them talked as they walked, and passed by a small town. Suddenly, they saw the ruins of the town, with smoke rising from it, and a native dog fell in a pool of blood and was cut into two pieces by a knife.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but frown. When he entered the city in the morning, the town was still fine, but how could it be ruined in one day?

This made Li Dingguo furious, "Who did this? Under the city of Guangzhou, he dared to openly plunder the people. It was even more hateful than a bandit!"

This area was close to the Western Army's garrison. Bai Wenxuan thought it was done by the Western Army, so he hurriedly said to the guards: "Go in and take a look!"

Li Dingguo's face was gloomy, "If you send orders, the battalions will draw elite troops and form a sanctuary team. Those who harass the people will be killed immediately!"

At this time, the guards were about to enter the town, and several military soldiers came out of the town with big bags and laughter.

These people are equipped with the Ming army, but they really don’t look like an army. They wear helmets and are not well-equipped, so they can’t tell which general’s troops are.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo immediately shouted angrily: "Catch it!"

Before the military men could react, they were taken down by the Western Army rushing forward, while Bai Wenxuan drove his horse into the town. After a while, his face turned gloomy.

"King, it's not our people who do it. Let's go back to the camp!" Bai Wenxuan said in a deep voice.

After all, the Western Army is a foreign army and it is difficult to interfere, so it is a matter of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Li Dingguo entered the town with a horse's belly and saw a family's yard open, inside which two old men and women fell to the ground, with blood flowing a lot.

Li Dingguo couldn't help but roll over and dismount and walked into the yard. He walked past the body and entered the house. He saw another man with his hands nailed to the door, his stomach was broken, his intestines flowed all over the floor, and a naked female corpse lay on the bed in the bedroom, his eyes wide open, the cabinet in the house was turned into a mess, and all the valuable things were swept away.

Li Dingguo's face turned pale and retreated from the yard. The Ming army, who was caught by the guards, was begging for mercy with a plea on his face, and expressed his desire to give half of the stolen things to the Western Army.

"Kill!" Li Dingguo's voice was cold and he was angry by these inhumane **.

The Western Army's Guard immediately pressed the Ming army to the ground. Regardless of the Ming soldiers' begging for mercy, he drew out his sword and prepared to behead him.

At this moment, a large group of Ming soldiers came over the town, and the general led the army reached out and shouted loudly: "Stay people under the knife!"

This voice made the guards pause their movements. The general led many Ming troops, who were also incompletely dressed and had a lot of armor and small bags, stepped forward. He looked at the Western Army and couldn't help but frown and said, "Whose subordinates are you, and why did you capture our people!"

Li Dingguo looked at the general with cold eyes and pointed the horse whip at the Ming army who was being pressed to kneel, "This is your subordinate!"

The general looked at Li Dingguo and saw him wearing excellent fish scale armor. He was looking at the surrounding guards and realized that he had met the Xichuan soldiers.

"The young people are ignorant. If there is any place that offended this general, please don't be surprised. They are all friendly troops. We have also followed the order of the Duke of the State to carry out military affairs. We also asked this general to give them a life!" Seeing that Li Dingguo's identity seemed to be quite low, the general was also polite when the general spoke, and he was a little surrendered.

Li Dingguo pointed to the bag on the ground and pointed to the yard, "This is the official business you perform!"

The general smithed awkwardly smiled, "Brothers have traveled over to help Guangzhou to rescue the siege, but they have no food to eat, and they can't fight on hungry. We were ordered to collect grain and the unruly people resisted, so we were rectified."

"Take it!" Li Dingguo was furious and shouted sternly: "It is clearly killing innocent people and robbing the people. I will wait for you to be corrected today!"

The Western Army guards immediately drew their swords and spears and surrounded them. Seeing this, the general couldn't help but say angrily: "We are from Duke Qing, what qualifications do you have to govern! A group of bandits, who are not in charge of their own people, what qualifications do you have to teach us a lesson!"

Li Dingguo still ordered, "kill all the murderers, and the looted ones beat fifty military sticks to Qingguo's public camp."

The Western Army's guards rushed forward. After a long period of peace, the troops of Chen Bangfu, Duke of Qingguo, were not elite opponents of the Western Army, and were subdued in just a few strokes.

Li Dingguo turned over his horse, and a "click" sound came from behind him, and more than a dozen **s were killed.

When Li Dingguo returned to the camp, he was pursuing military discipline during the 1990s and found that many Western troops had harassed the people. He immediately asked someone to arrest him and killed several people.

...

In the residence of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ding Kuichu was sitting in the yard and listening to the opera, and Chen Bangfu rushed over angrily.

"Mr. Tuxian, you have to make the decision for me!" Chen Bangfu said straight to the point.

Ding Kuichu was disturbed by Yaxing, but she was not angry because Chen Bangfu was his ally and confidant.

He was able to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and dared to be greedy because he had the support of several troops including Chen Bangfu, otherwise he would have been taken down long ago.

"What's going on?" Ding Kuichu waved and asked the troupe to retreat.

Chen Bangfu said: "The Western thief bullied people too much and actually killed my subordinates and beat my people. This not only did not take me seriously, but also despised the Ming Dynasty and slapped the governor's face!"

Ding Kuichu couldn't help frowning. He knew that Zhu Yue valued Li Dingguo very much, so he was quite polite to Li Dingguo and did not even charge him more money. But if a foreign guest army in Li Dingguo dared to kill his subordinates, that would be too much.

At present, Ding Kuichu asked the reason, but Chen Bangfu would not report it truthfully, but instead slandered the Western Army's bandits' habits.

Ding Kuichu frowned. He knew that Chen Bangfu could not believe everything, but the Western Army killed him was a fact.

Moreover, recently, he had tactfully stated that he wanted to take the Western Army under his command, but Li Dingguo did not miss him at all, which made him angry. Now that such a thing happened again, Ding Kuichu was angry.

"I know about this matter, but the King of Guangdong attaches great importance to the Western thieves~" Although Ding Kuichu was angry, the old bureaucrat did not show it on his face.

Chen Bangfu was different, his joy and anger were all reflected, "Can you just let it go? I can't swallow this!"

Ding Kuichu sneered, "You don't have to worry about this matter. This governor has his own way to rectify the Western thieves!"

...

Ding Kuichu's method is very simple, which is to no longer provide rations to the Western Army.

In early October, the Western Army was in a hurry to eat, and the army could only drink porridge.

At this time, Li Dingguo came back from the city, and Bai Wenxuan immediately stepped forward, held the horse's reins, and asked, "King, are you going to get food?"

Li Dingguo shook his head, and Bai Wenxuan immediately said angrily: "King, let's retreat, don't be angry with this bird!"

Li Dingguo was hesitant. There was no way out if he had a dispute today and lived in Yunnan and Guizhou.

At this time, Li Dingguo turned over and got off the horse, entered the camp, inspected the camp, and when he passed by the Huotou camp, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers holding chickens and ducks, many clothes, cloth, driving pigs, sheep and plowing ox, and suddenly became furious.

As a bandit in the Western Army, Li Dingguo was afraid of being looked down upon, so he had already ordered military disciplines to prohibit soldiers from harassing and looting the people. He immediately ordered all of these soldiers to be tied up and immediately rectified the law.

The soldiers were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Li Dingguo was unmoved. He was the leader of a general who could not escape and died. He couldn't help but cry and said, "King, this is a order from Huyi. If you want to kill, kill a man. Huyi is also a matter of the brothers who are pitiful. Wuyi~"

Before he finished speaking, the general burst into tears.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo still said, "Military orders are like mountains. I have said a long time ago that you are not allowed to harm the people. Do you still want to be bandits? Now everything is over! Bai Wenxuan, send him on his way!"

Li Dingguo felt a stinging pain in his heart, and after saying that, he walked back to the coach's tent.

Soon, Bai Wenxuan walked into the handsome tent with an ugly expression and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh: "You blame me for being too harsh."

Bai Wenxuan said in a deep voice: "I dare not!" But everyone could tell that he was right and wrong.

Li Dingguo exhaled a breath, "We want to wash away the identity of bandits, gain the recognition of the people, and be worthy of our conscience, only this is the only way!"
