    Seven thousand guest troops marched out of Tongguan and into Henan under the honor guard of the Imperial Guard, but they never entered the city and only camped in the wild. This hurt many officials along the way who wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with the Imperial Guard.

    After half a month of marching, we constantly adjusted and adjusted. Seeing winter in the north, the weather was getting colder, and many problems were exposed during the winter march.  Taking advantage of the opportunity of being stationed in Pingdingshan for repairs, we made vigorous adjustments.

    In the middle of October of the fourth year of Zhengde, the first snow of winter finally fell in Pingding Mountain, Henan.

    In the Chinese military camp, Sun Zheng was reviewing documents and signing his opinions from time to time.

    The Sihai system has strong financial resources, and its various branches have some money, food and supplies, but in the past, they could only handle emergency collections of hundreds of people.  This supply of 7,000 people has greatly tested the capabilities of local branches.  Many problems that were not noticed before were also exposed.

    Fortunately, I gained a lot of luck points this time. This thing is far more useful than killing points.  There is no shortage of raw materials in the space. Winter clothes for 7,000 people can be obtained with only a few hundred luck points.

    But this is not a solution. After all, stagnant water is afraid of being scooped out by a small spoon, so it must be paid into the account.  Only then did we come up with the plan to go via Pingdingshan.

    "Report! Chang Liansheng of the teaching camp is asking for an audience!"

    "Enter!"

    Chang Liansheng, covered with snowflakes, went into the tent and reported: "Report to the Imperial Master! The teaching camp was ordered to wipe out the Eighteen Ziyun Bandits. It has successfully completed the task. Come and pay the order!"

    Sun Zheng asked his own people first as always: "What are the casualties?"

    "Two people were killed and 26 people were lightly or seriously wounded. They have been sent to the medical camp for treatment."

    "What about the mission situation?"

    "Sixty-five bandits were killed, all three lairs of the Eighteen Ziyun Bandits were destroyed, and all eighteen leaders were captured. There were more than a hundred gangsters and dozens of women, children, and children who were being screened and placed. Rescued eight male and female hostages.  Name, more than a hundred horses and livestock, about 30,000 shi of grain and grass, and more than ten boxes of gold, silver, pearls, and jade were seized"

    Sun Zheng rubbed his brows: "The strength of a battalion, thousands of fully armed veterans! Attack a bandit's nest of less than 200 people, five to one! Two killed! Twenty-six lightly and seriously wounded! Isn't that too much?  It¡¯s been so long since you¡¯ve been on the battlefield that you¡¯ve forgotten how to fight?¡±

    Chang Liansheng did not dare to talk back: "The general underestimated the enemy and ignored the differences in the environment. These bandits are different from ordinary soldiers. They will attack sneakily after disarming. Those brothers who were injured and killed did not fall on the frontal battlefield. They were killed after the war.  We were plotted while taking custody of the prisoners!"

    Sun Zheng nodded: "So, you can't stick to the old habits. The environment is different, and people's hearts will also change. The old routine must be adjusted in time. Learn the lesson and don't let them die worthless!"

    "Yes!" Chang Liansheng asked tentatively again: "National Preceptor, those prisoners"

    Sun Zheng had a headache: "After all, he is one of his own. If he couldn't survive, who would be willing to fall into the trap of a bandit! Let's screen them out. Those with blood on their hands will be executed on the spot! The rest who passively joined the bandits and were kidnapped up the mountain will be handed over.  Let the local government organize and manage it on the spot for a few years."

    The first snowfall was not big and scattered throughout the day.  The weather cleared up the next day, but the temperature dropped even lower, and the air became cloudy.

    Facing the rising sun in winter, at the Pingdingshan military camp, in addition to the new army, all the people from Huashan, and the experts who temporarily joined the boxing team, etc., were all present.  Outside the school grounds, there were many people who came after hearing the news, as well as relatives of the hostages who were rescued and returned the day before yesterday. The school grounds were surrounded by a dense mahjong crowd.

    Amidst the loud sound of military bugles, Sun Zheng appeared in military uniform on the general stand.

    Zhao Yuanfu guest-starred as a clerk, using his inner strength to speak out and read out the evil deeds of the Eighteen Ziyun Bandits in the past and the situation of the bandit suppression the day before yesterday.

    The verdict was announced: the heads of eighteen thieves and more than sixty accomplices of heinous crimes were beheaded in public.

    Immediately, more than eighty bandits were escorted to the school grounds and lined up in a line more than a hundred meters wide, making sure that the common people in each section could see clearly.

    With a command, more than eighty long knives were swung down at the same time, and more than eighty heads fell to the ground. The blood immediately dyed Can Xue red, dazzling and thrilling.

    Cheng Buyou and Yue Buqun, who were watching the whole process of suppressing the bandits, looked at each other and looked back at the disciples in Huashan. They saw that all these juniors had earth-colored faces and were trembling slightly.  Especially Linghu Chong, the great disciple of Huashan Mountain, his eyes were empty as if he was frightened, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

    On the other side, Zhu Xiurong and Yue Lingshan also saw the scene of more than 80 heads falling to the ground. Their stomachs were filled with butterflies in their stomachs, and they were about to lose their composure on the spot.  Fortunately, Sun Zheng had anticipated this possibility, and several servicemen from the Jing Army directly escorted the two women back to the camp to rest.

    It has to be said that the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is quite obvious.

    At noon that day, the heads of several Jianghu gang sects in the Funiu Mountain area brought gifts and came to Laojun under the introduction of local officials.He kowtows to himself, his figure is crumbling, but his eyes are shining with hope. He really can't bear to make people look back, so he can only settle on the spot.

    While recruiting craftsmen to expand the wharf and dock, Xu Fuzun was asked to help mobilize food and supplies to house the people.  Sun Zheng was very wealthy and never asked for things from others for free. Anyone who was willing to send food would pay silver according to the price.

    Taizhou Prefecture¡¯s Sihai System actually doesn¡¯t have much money saved. It hasn¡¯t even figured out how to supply the 7,000-strong army. Suddenly, the needs for a population of 50,000 people appear. Who can withstand this?

    The little money accumulated over the years was all used up in just three to five days.

    There was no other way but to ask the National Preceptor for help.

    At the same time, the military camp ushered in a special team of laborers.  They brought a total of 10,000 stones of rice and food, which truly solved the camp's urgent need.

    "The strange thing is that after entering the camp with a total of 10,000 kilograms of rice, the other party didn't want a penny and only wanted to see the imperial master.

    Spending thousands of taels of silver just for a meeting?  Are Ming Dynasty fans so fanatical?

    Sun Zheng is also very curious about this iron fan.

    As soon as he saw the escort flag of the team, he understood something.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
