The uprising against the Manchus in Shandong was large in scale and swept through the entire Denglai Prefecture.
Li Yanzhi led the villagers in Jiaodong to respond.
Jiaozhou, which is less than a hundred miles away from Jiaodong, is now in the hands of the rebels and is facing With the Qing army's attack.
"Currently, Jiaozhou is still in the hands of Zhao Yingyuan's rebel army.
However, the Mantar Jiao Town Commander-in-Chief Ke Yongsheng has led troops to surround Jiaozhou.
I led the rural soldiers to reinforce Jiaozhou, but was intercepted by Jiaodong garrison Ma Guang."
Li Yanzhi said.
The situation was informed to Wu Ping, and he once again asked Wu Ping to lead troops for reinforcements.
Because Li Yanzhi knew that the few hundred people he had alone were a drop in the bucket and would not help.
Although Wu Ping's army was small, it was elite soldiers under the command of the Duke of Qi, and could not be compared with the rebel army composed of these farmers.
Faced with Li Yanzhi's request, Wu Ping was very hesitant because he knew that he only had more than 600 men under his command, and he could only bring out 500 troops.
If the damage is serious, there may not even be enough manpower to drive the ship.
The task given to him by the Duke of Qi was to train the fleet for ocean voyages, and he did not let himself move arbitrarily.
"I only have a few hundred men under my command.
Even going to Jiaozhou may not help."
Wu Ping said subconsciously.
"The general's words are wrong.
Although your subordinates are few, they are elite soldiers trained by the Duke of Qi.
With them as the foundation and in the name of the Duke of Qi, you will definitely obey them.
In a few days, you can gather an army of tens of thousands.
There is no problem in rescuing Jiaozhou.”
Seeing that Wu Ping was hesitant and unwilling to take risks, Li Yanzhi persuaded him again.
However, he did not ask Wu Ping to directly send troops to Jiaozhou, but suggested acting under the banner of Qi Guogong.
"The Mantars promoted shaving their hair and changing clothes in an attempt to turn our Ming people into barbarians.
The land of Shandong was robbed by the Manchus many times.
Hundreds of thousands of people were plundered and enslaved outside the customs.
They have long hated the Manchus to their bones.
It's as deep as the sea, that's why so many people are protesting.
The Duke of Qi was a hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty and defeated the Manchus many times.
As long as he is in his name, the righteous people everywhere will surely follow him.
There will be no problem in expelling the Manchus from Shandong and restoring the lands of Denglai and Qingzhou."
Li Yanzhi's words were impassioned and impassioned, full of absolute confidence, and even Wu Ping was moved by his words.
Wu Ping himself is Chen Yue's servant, and he has a very senior position in the Qi government system.
In addition, his sister Wu Waner is Chen Yue's pillow, and is a trusted confidant of Chen Yue.
Now he is Yang Zhengping's deputy, in charge of very important Water camp.
But all this time, Wu Ping himself has never had an extraordinary record.
In terms of merit, he can't even compare to Jin Xin and Li Yi, so his status is really embarrassing on weekdays.
If so, if you take this opportunity to show off your skills and do something spectacular in this land of Shandong, you will definitely become famous all over the world, and no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks about you from now on.
At this moment, Wu Ping's heart moved.
On that day, Wu Ping raised the banner of Chen Yue, Duke of Qi, and appointed Li Yanzhi to join the army.
He sent a message to all directions and ordered the volunteers from all over to gather in Jiaodong.
The name of Duke Chen Yue of Qi resounded throughout the world.
When they heard that Duke Qi sent people to conquer Shandong, the squires from all over Jiaodong responded to the Ming Dynasty with their servants Zhuang Ding.
They chopped wood into spears and used sickles and axes as weapons.
They all marched towards Jiaodong.

Come.
For these squires, they did not dare to make any changes after the Ming army defeated the Qing army.
However, Qi Duke Chen Yue was different.
He was a hero who defeated the Manchus many times.
Since he sent troops to conquer Shandong, it means that the imperial court once again The Northern Expedition is just around the corner, and with the Duke of Qi as the commander, it will not be a problem to defeat the Manchus and regain their old lands.
Wu Ping did not expect this result at all.
In just one day after raising the banner, the number of volunteers who gathered at the Jiaodong seaside had already reached five to six thousand.
With the assistance of Li Yanzhi, Wu Ping replaced Qi Duke Chen Yue in appointing the leaders of various rebel armies.
According to the number of volunteers they led, they were assigned the military positions of Qianhu, guerrilla, and general.
The leaders of each group led their subordinates.
Wu Ping was the commander-in-chief and commanded the armies.
He gave names and banners to each unit and assigned them places to garrison.
By the third day, more than 20 volunteers had gathered, and the total number exceeded 10,000.
Wu Ping ordered the entire army to set off and march into Jiaozhou.
The troops besieging Jiaozhou were the troops of Ke Yongsheng, the commander-in-chief of Jiao Town, with a total strength of more than 8,000 people.
However, there were only 3,000 rebels in Jiaozhou City, led by Zhao Yingyuan, who refused to surrender.
Zhao Yingyuan turned out to be a general of the Shun Army.
After Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he sent officials and soldiers to various places.
It was then that Zhao Yingyuan came to Shandong.
However, Li Zicheng was soon defeated by Wu Sangui in collusion with the Qing army.
The squires from all over Shandong had long been dissatisfied with the Shun Army's policy of recovering stolen goods and providing compensation.
They took the opportunity to launch riots, killed officials appointed by the Shun Army, and raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Yingyuan He was quite clever, so when he saw that the situation was bad, he fled into the Laoshan Mountains with hundreds of his men.
Later, the situation changed drastically.
After the Manchu and Qing dynasties occupied the north, they sent officials and troops to various parts of Shandong and Hebei.
Most of the prefectures and counties in Shandong also surrendered to the Manchu and Qing Dynasty.
Zhao Yingyuan had no choice but to become the mountain king in Laoshan.
Another year later, the Qing army defeated the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied with the Manchu imperial court's order to shave their heads.
People in Shandong were turbulent.
Zhao Yingyuan took the opportunity to lead his troops out of Laoshan and summoned the people under the banner of supporting the Ming Dynasty.
Captured Jiaozhou City.
Zhao Yingyuan, who was born in the Shun Army, was still very capable.
With the 3,000 men he gathered, he defended Jiaozhou unyieldingly under the attack of Ke Yongsheng's 8,000 troops.
He also sent people to various rebels to ask for reinforcements.
Now he finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
Facing a mob of more than ten thousand people under the banner of Duke Chen Yue of Qi, Ke Yongsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty, was very disapproving.
Because he had not received news of another Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition at all, he did not believe that Qi Guogong's army would cross the vast area occupied by the Qing army and suddenly arrive in Jiaozhou.
Coming from the sea route, forgive me that people at this time did not have such rich imagination.
Ke Yongsheng immediately left his lieutenant to lead the 3,000 men to continue the siege, and he led the 5,000 main force to meet the mob army.
As soon as the two sides joined forces, the vanguard of the mob army was defeated by the Qing army, which made Ke Yongsheng laugh.
Just when he ordered the entire army to assault and defeat the mob army in one fell swoop, violent gunfire sounded one after another.
The wheat cut by the sickle fell to the ground one after another.
Ke Yongsheng's smile immediately froze on his face.
He could hear the sound of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and not one but dozens of them were firing at the same time.

Ke Yongsheng could imagine that his men were under the barrage like a storm.
Scenes of people falling down one after another.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon fired, followed by the "bang bang bang" sound of firecrackers.
Although the sounds were not dense, they were well-organized.
This was the powerful sound that could only be made by hundreds of firecrackers firing one after another.
When did the mob actually have crouching tigers and cannons, and there were so many of them?
At this moment, Ke Yongsheng's expression changed drastically.
He knew that perhaps it was Duke Chen Yue's army from Qi that was coming.
Before he could give the order to withdraw, the attacking Qing troops retreated like a tide, followed by a roaring mob army.
Ke Yongsheng immediately turned his horse and ran away
