The Shandong Governor did not even return to the camp and went directly to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Soon Song Weishen sent someone to report to Deng Ming. He had already monitored the Qing army in the Shandong Governor's camp. Although there seemed to be hundreds of people, most of them were armourless soldiers.

"Send Zu Zepu's flag to them... No, I'd better go there in person." Deng Ming had just given the order, hesitated for a moment and took it back. The battlefield here had been almost cleaned, so Deng Ming asked Shandong friendly troops to join him to take over Zu Zepu's camp.

After placing Zu Zepu's commander flag and the guards in the camp, the guards in the camp were completely desperate. Someone had already fled back and said that the army was destroyed, but these guards were still lucky and hoped that the governor could send reinforcements or the Ming army would retreat on their own. These guards had no horses and had many weapons, and the camp was built without any considerable defense. However, Deng Ming really did not want to pay any more damage, so he signed a very generous treaty: as long as the camp surrenders, the officers could leave on their own, and Deng Ming could also give him a horse; if the officers had subordinates in this camp, Deng Ming would not stop them from leaving, and they could also take their weapons away.

Deng Ming's conditions made all the friendly troops in Shandong look at each other. Baoguo Duke explained patiently: "I know that officers are all minions of the Qing court. Armored soldiers may also have blood debts from the Shandong rebels, but without armored soldiers, there is no sin. However, these people in this camp have the final say. Do you want to attack the camp for the sake of justice? If you are willing, I have no objection."

However, the Shandong people did not want to attack, because Deng Ming said that there might be some supplies in the camp, and if it was attacked for a strong force, it might be burned by desperate defenders. Besides, they felt that the Green Camp left in the camp was mostly not an elite force, and it might not be an enemy of the Shandong rebel army. Since this is the case, they did not plan to attack the camp.

To everyone's surprise, there were only more than 30 armored soldiers who finally surrendered, and there were dozens of clerks, responsible for warehouses and logistics. The rest were all armored soldiers. The people who were standing on the wall of the camp just now bluffed and saw that the Ming army promised not to kill and let them go, they hurriedly agreed to Deng Ming's terms and betrayed the remaining armored soldiers and civilians.

Seeing that the resistance in the camp was so weak, many Shandong heroes showed regret on their faces. However, Deng Ming did not listen to their suggestions. Each clerk and officer sent a seized horse. Deng Ming even planned to keep them for a meal before leaving. However, Shandong people were not familiar with Deng Ming's temper, and they might not surrender if there was any resistance in the camp. These left-behind personnel were naturally overjoyed to see that Deng Ming did not break the contract. Many people did not even dare to ask for horses. Since Deng Ming insisted on fulfilling the contract, they accepted it, but they did not dare to eat this meal anyway. After thanking Deng Ming, they hurriedly ran away.

Although there was not much food in Zu Zepu's camp, there was a group of sheep, prepared for the Governor and the staff of the Governor's Office.

"We are really here." Deng Ming guessed that there would be some delicious food in Zu Zepu's camp and ordered the sheep to be killed and shared with everyone: "Although it's not time for lunch, just treat it as an extra breakfast."

Although the Qing army was defeated very quickly today, after the nervous spirit was relaxed, the Sichuan army felt hungry, and the Shandong heroes would certainly not object to eating an extra meal.

It was not until this time that Deng Ming had time to sort out his armor. He took off the small iron sand from the armor one by one. He threw all the iron sands in a basin, and soon covered the bottom of the basin. After carefully checking it several times and confirming that there were no residues, Deng Ming picked up the basin and weighed it, and smiled at Gao Yunxuan and others, "There are several taels too."

Some of these bullets on the armor were embedded for the first time. Not only did Deng Ming's armor, but there were also many scratches on his mount. Some of them were stray bullets that hit Deng Ming during the charge. At that time, many three-eyed cavalry shot subconsciously, but most of them did not hit Deng Ming but were blocked by other Qing soldiers. However, some were hung on Deng Ming's armor.

"This thing poses a great threat to the rebel army, because the rebel army has no armor." Deng Ming shook the pot of iron sand and fell to the side contemptuously. The power of this thing is worse than that of the hand guns Deng Ming had seen. No wonder the Ming army with firearms would be defeated by the Qing army. If the Shandong Governor used the bird gun of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the effect would have been very different.

Today, the Ming army was not fatally injured by the three-eyed gun. Even if it was smashed as a hammer, it was better than using it as a musket. In fact, Deng Ming felt that not to mention the Sichuan Army wearing iron armor, if the Shandong Yijun was trained in advance and not scared by the sound of this thing, even without armor, it would be difficult for people to lose their combat effectiveness immediately.

Deng Ming's opinion on the captured three-eyed guns was to return them all to build swords, but the Shandong rebels had different opinions. They said that this thing was very useful. The Shandong heroes believed that this thing could be used as a hammer and could spray iron sand. It was really a first-class weapon. The Shandong hero told Deng Ming that someone once had a captured three-eyed gun, which made a row of green camp soldiers wince. When the hero took a step forward, the green camp took a step back, for fear that the three-eyed gun would be sprayed with a face full of flowers.

"This is definitely not a battle formation, nor is it an elite soldier who is the Shandong governor and the promotion of the bidding." Deng Ming commented without thinking.

It is indeed not. This happened when a hero met several county garrison green camps in the mountains and valleys. He shocked several enemy soldiers with a three-eye shot and was able to escape and ascend to heaven.

Hearing that he had guessed well, Deng Ming shook his head repeatedly, but he no longer persuaded Shandong heroes to use this kind of firearm to arm themselves. Since this weapon is useful in Shandong, there is no need to treat it as waste. Anyway, Shandong Supervisors and the increase in the bid has been lost after this battle, and the remaining troops are even more useless.

"No wonder Jieshu, Ebilong does not use Shandong soldiers," while the Shandong heroes were absent, several commandos of Deng Ming's commando were talking behind their backs. Shandong, Zhili, and Henan have not experienced major wars since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Apart from the Supervisor, the Raising and a few towns, there are almost no troops to fight: "Even if it is placed in the southeast, no one will want such a weapon, right?"

"Of course no one uses it. Zhang Shangshu has been fighting in the southeast for twenty years, and the green camps in Liangjiang and Zhejiang have never seen any blood."

For example, Jiangnan Tibbie, who is now under the command of Liang Huafeng, was in war with Zheng Chenggong. When Jiangnan Tibbie dared to attack with Zheng's bows and arrows and bird guns. Most of the officers made military achievements in the years of tug-of-war with Zhang Huangyan.

However, in the battle of Nanjing City, a large number of veterans were burned by Li Laiheng; later, Jiang Guozhu, Liang Huafeng Huo and fire were both loyal and killed a group of people. In addition, Ma Fengzhi took some away, and the Jiangnan Green Camp never recovered. In recent years, Deng Ming has been peacefully resolved every time he goes to the southeast, and Zhang Huangyan does not need armed smuggling, so Jiang Guozhu has never been able to select capable officers through war.

It is precisely because Shandong has been in peace for a long time that Deng Ming doubled down on the importance of training the Shandong Rebel Army. In this era, there was no other place to use reserve military service or similar systems, so first-mover advantage was very important. Once an army had combat experience, they could become stronger by bullying the inexperienced opponents. Now the Shandong Rebel Army is relatively weak in combat, so the one who is trained is the Shandong Green Camp. As long as this situation is reversed and the Shandong Uprising Army has the ability to defeat the Shandong Green Camp, the rebel army will become stronger and stronger, and the Qing army in Shandong will have to fight because the elites are eliminated. This is actually continuing to train the rebel army.

There are generally two ways to reverse this situation:

One is to stick to a certain city. No matter how poor the combat effectiveness is, the defenders may create miracles - because the attackers are actually extremely lacking in training. In this era, anything can happen when defending the city. The attackers may fight all the elite troops in their hands because of reckless attacks. In this way, one side of the original disadvantage will equalize and everyone should start over.

Another type is to draw strong troops into aid. For example, after the Qing court found that the Shandong Green Camp could not defeat the rebel army, it transferred the Ganzhou Green Camp over. However, as long as Deng Ming maintained enough pressure in other directions, the Qing court, whose troops were already short of strength, would not have many such opportunities. Even if it was forced to draw, it would mean that the Shandong battlefield was supporting other fronts of the Ming army.

After noon, Deng Ming brought the leaders of Shandong heroes and asked them to hurry up and train the team. Through today's battle, first of all, the reputation of the Sichuan Army reached a new high. Now, no matter what the Sichuan Army said, the Shandong rebel army will believe it; secondly, Deng Ming estimated that the Qing army in Shandong had been severely damaged. If reinforcements from other provinces were not considered, Jinan would not interfere in the battle situation in Jiaodong within half a year.

The Qing army reinforcements from other provinces could not arrive soon, so Deng Ming no longer needed to leave a large number of guards by his side. He could send more than half of the guards to train the Shandong rebel army to familiarize them with basic banners, queues, and precautions for marching and camping.

"If there is no training, all military knowledge must be explored through actual combat, and many of them may be wrong, such as asking monks to recite scriptures or killing black dogs to strengthen artillery."

"Can't killing a black dog strengthen the artillery?" Someone exclaimed.

"No! That's why you need to receive training." Deng Ming replied quickly: "In order to deepen our impression, we need practical training. Let's start with the county town of Laizhou Prefecture. This is a collection of questions. Your imperial examination is to attack Laizhou Prefecture. We don't have to hurry, take it slowly, Jinan can't do anything within at least a month."

A batch of gunpower was seized from Zu Zepu's military camp today. Since Shandong heroes liked three-eyed guns, they should be used. However, Deng Ming has more important uses: "From today, my subordinates will teach you a new type of city-breaking tactic - blasting."

Deng Ming has been using this tactic in Huguang for four years, and Zhang Huangyan has also used it in Zhejiang, but it has not spread in Shandong yet, which surprised Deng Ming. But it doesn't matter, what Shandong heroes will learn will be the latest research results of the Kuidong Army.
