Du Chong was wearing a straight black tweed coat, and under his crotch was a mixed-blood war horse with bright fur.\\The horse was very tall, almost 150 cm long. In this era, the Far East was really tall and big, but it could be seen that it had a very bad temper. It was difficult for people with non-horse skills to control. Perhaps this is why this horse was eliminated by the horse government. After all, such a horse with a bad temper and difficult to serve cannot become a qualified war horse.

But Du Chong liked this horse very much. When Shao Shude sent someone to send it here, he fell in love with it at first sight. As a great man of Angzang, Du Chong liked this kind of violent war horse the most. He deviated from tradition and did not cast the stallion. He rode around proudly all day long, showing off his horse-control skills in front of everyone.

As one of the leaders of the Yuyuan Army's chief Fu Xing (Ren Qi), Du Chong is currently an important guest on the East Coast. Whether it is Shao Shude or Mao Desheng, he spared no effort to win over him. He provided sufficient money, grain and materials, and he also sent someone to guide his training troops, treating him as a first-class battalion in the servant army. There is no way, with the current reputation of the East Coast people, he can only win over such bandits and horse thieves. It is difficult for the serious official army to surrender unless it is absolutely necessary. If this is the case, if there is no horse bone in the city, how could the Qing army green camp come to surrender?

Du Chong himself had a good impression of the East Coast people, and he was quite eager for the advanced weapons and advanced tactics displayed by the East Coast army, especially the spectacular scene of the volley of the 20 small cannons, which made Du Chong, who had always claimed to be brave. The iron eggs shot from the gun mouth would be injured, and they would be killed immediately. It would be useless if you wear a few sets of armor. It is really inconsistent with human power. It was also after seeing the powerful combat power of the East Coast Army's "sharp guns and cannons", the Black Eight Banners Infantry "resolutely and daring to fight", and the Seminar Cavalry "forwarding". Du Chong, who was originally quite arrogant in the Yuyuan Army, was completely impressed.

After being impressed, Du Chong was like those of Stockholm syndrome patients. He was crazy about everything on the East Coast. He was obsessed with the yellow military uniforms of the East Coast Army (actually this was just the uniform of the reserve force. The local soldiers on the East Coast were proud of wearing dark blue military uniforms), liked the East Coast standard with slightly curved sabers, preferred to wear the East Coast standard high-tube horse boots, and liked a 1633 flintlock pistol hanging around his waist, saying that he always praised discipline and honor. When he walked, he held his head and chest out, making him look like an East Coast soldier.

This is true for his leader. Du Chong brought more than a thousand cavalry (both horses, donkeys and mules, among which mules and donkeys have been replaced by the East Coast military team, and the entire army has been replaced with Mongolian horses or Korean ponies) and more than 2,000 infantrymen. They took off their various clothes - many of them were stolen. Some soldiers even wore colorful women's clothes - changed into simple and practical East Coast military uniforms. They did not need to be urged by the East Coast instructors, and they were often the first to go to the schoolyard to queue.

Mao Desheng raided and inspected all the minion troops when it snowed heavily at the beginning of the year. At that time, all the units had no combat missions and were stationed in various counties in Qingzhou Prefecture. Mao Desheng took his men into the battalions of various departments and ordered the formation to be named. As a result, Du Chong's infantry and cavalry were not the fastest in the array, but the number of personnel was the smallest (at this time, many soldiers often asked for leave to go out), which shows how strict the discipline of his department was.

The discipline constraints of Du Chong's troops, who were born in the Yuyuan Army, were so strict, but Mao Desheng was amazed. If you think about it carefully, it would take great efforts from the entire army to transform into a disciplined and combat-capable battalion. It is also the most test of the cohesion of the troops and the charm of the chief officer. It is not in vain that Du Chong can do this, he is the first person Fuxing valued by Yuyuan Army Daquan, and he is really capable. From this, it can be seen that there are indeed considerable talents buried in the grassroots. As long as they are given a suitable opportunity, they will definitely soar into the sky.

This time, Du Chong handed over more than 2,000 infantry under his command to the commander of the camp outside Zhangqiu City, and then took more than 1,000 old cavalry brothers and several letters from Mao Desheng to Zhang Qi, Ren Qi and other leaders of Yuyuan Army, and quietly left Zhangqiu County and headed south to Yanzhou Prefecture to find traces of the Yuyuan Army.

Now the yellow-clad thief is aggressive, and twelve gold medals from Luke Dehun force the Green Camp troops scattered everywhere to withdraw from the battle and gather in Jinan, which makes the road empty. Originally, Du Chong planned to take the original route to avoid the Qing army, but after entering Yanzhou Prefecture, he saw small groups of Qing troops along the way, and the brigades rarely met. Even if they encounter them, they can use the opportunity to drive them away. Sometimes when the soldiers are full, he will order to raid some Qing army troops in the marching. Of course, they are generally incomplete camps, with most of them being around 300 people. Fighting these soft persimmons can not only eliminate the vitality of the Tartars, but also obtain some supplies, so why not do it?

He was also familiar with Yanzhou Prefecture. He often brought his subordinates here to "stalk". At the farthest time, he even fought to Fei County. Yanzhou Prefecture was not a wealthy place in Shandong, so there were many bandits in the local area. Zhu Langrong, the supervisor appointed by the Qing court, submitted a memorial to "the famous opera bandits in the East Province, and more than 50 camps of thieves who were stalking for ten thousand thieves", about one-third of them came from Yanzhou Prefecture. These famous masters and village leaders,

The canal leaders, Du Chong, who was more or less familiar with the Yuyuan Army bosses like Ren Fuxing, also led his troops south from Jinan Prefecture to Yanzhou Prefecture, and obtained some key supplies through this old relationship. Otherwise, he could still attack the enemy's back thousands of miles with hundreds of cavalry? After all, Yanzhou Prefecture is not a "behind enemy" for him. This is actually the reason why Mao Desheng sent him here.

Now the east coast army is in full swing on the periphery of Jinan, and the Qing army has also begun to gather its troops. The war between the two sides is about to begin. At this critical moment, how could Mao Desheng not contact the local armed forces led by the Yuyuan Army who had resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years in history? These people are not good, but they are brave enough to do some things in the back of the weak Qing army. Now it is such a good time. Mao Desheng will send Du Chong, who has accepted some East Coast military concepts, to contact the armed forces of various factions. It is best to directly contact his former boss Ren Fuxing, so that the Yuyuan Army will start a complete stir behind the enemy. Whether it is attacking the Qing army's team to collect food and pay or cutting off the canals that communicate north and south, it can make the Qing army lose sight of one thing, and then step by step to passiveness, eventually leading to defeat.

Although the Yuyuan Army suffered heavy losses in the large-scale encirclement of the Qing army a while ago, the centipede insects died but did not stagnate. At this time, the Qing army green camps in Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture were not interested in fighting, and they retreated from the battlefield to encircle and suppress them and gathered in Jinan. This was a great opportunity for them to come out to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, robbing money, grain, and livestock, and then took some people to farm in their bases (the bases of the Yuyuan Army were called "thieves" in history, and they were all located in places with dangerous terrain or complex terrain) to consolidate their foundation.

The person who stayed in Yanzhou Prefecture to preside over the military affairs of bandit suppression was Kong Xigui, the general of the Qing Dynasty. At first, he had a small number of 20,000 troops. After a long tug-of-war with the east coast army, he suffered a great loss. Later, he was transferred to the rear by Luke Dehun to the rear to command Lai Dian, while suppressing the bandits and replenishing troops so that he could recover his strength as soon as possible. However, when he had fought a few battles in Yanzhou Prefecture and found a little victory, Jinan's urgent order also arrived: he ordered him to withdraw from the various battle areas immediately and gather his troops to Tai'an Prefecture to stand by. When Kong Xigui and his main troops arrived in Tai'an Prefecture, the new order came again: he led his troops to set up a camp in the Great Wall Ridge south of Zhangqiu County, echoing Niu Chenghu's troops, threatening the flanks of the yellow-clad thief.

As Kong Xigui retreated for 10,000 or 20,000 troops, Yanzhou Prefecture was so empty that it could run away. The "heroes" who were beaten to fleeing all over the world, and the local gentry also looked at the "I Daqing" king's army who protected their interests and left reluctantly. Then they held the commission letter from their hair and started a group training, swearing to fight to the death with the thief armed forces to ensure that the "I Daqing" retreat will not be lost. At the same time, they also sent people south to contact the Gushan Ezhen Qun Tower in Huaiyang area, asking them to lead their troops north to "clear the place" and "repay the world a bright world". However, the Qun Tower has been attracted by the yellow-clad thief ships that have appeared many times in the Yangtze River Estuary area, and are worried that they will land in Nanzhili again, so they temporarily ignored the requests made by the Shandong gentry, but guarded their own portals.

Du Chong led more than a thousand cavalry to run horses in Yanzhou Prefecture like lightning. While inquiring about information about Zhang Qi, Ren Qi and others, contacting familiar armed forces, avoiding the real and taking advantage of the situation, letting go of the tightly guarded city, and picking soft persimmons. While encouraging the morale of these bandits and bandits, he quickly advanced to Zhang Qiuzhen, a key node on the canal, intending to destroy the key to the Qing army's transfer of materials and food, so that the main force of the Qing army in Jinan would not continue.

Some of the remaining Qing troops or local regiments in Yanzhou Prefecture had confidence and gestures when they faced the so-called "anti-Qing rebel army" (actually bandits), but when they saw the yellow-clothed thief horse team wearing yellow clothes and big caps (Du Chong's troops), most of them lost the courage to resist the enemy on the spot. The reputation of the Semu cavalry was not a hype on the ground in Shandong, but they were killed in bloody battles with the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. Although Du Chong's cavalry was not the so-called "real yellow-clothed thief", who knew from a distance that they knew the true or false. Just like the Han military flags in Liaodong back then, who knew whether you were a real Tartar or a fake Tartar? They pushed them from afar and scared away a bunch of Ming troops.
