Chapter 114: Light Fu (Part 2)

Standing inside the village gate with a particularly bloody smell.

"I deserve to be a brave old man..."

Zhou Huaian said to the fake officer who had successfully cheated the door in front of him.

“It’s pretty good to deal with it on the spot…”

Although in this process, some mistakes were made in the end due to the accent problem, the final goal and result were achieved.

"Thank you for your praise..."

The man smiled honestly and said with a little honest smile

"It's just that I've been in an official service before..."

"I was driven to serve in front of the saddle and horse, and I also learned some of the styles of the man."

"oh.."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but be surprised

"But I don't know what to call it, what else is there to say?"

"Return to Guantou, my subordinate's surname is Lin, and the single word is Ming..."

The man still introduced himself respectfully.

"The ancestors were born in Lijizhou, Liaodong, but their family was entangled by the Pinglu army in their early years."

"We crossed the sea and migrated to Qingzhou as a military service, and there have been two more generations of people so far..."

"It's just that the daily livelihood is very difficult, and some people at home starve to death..."

"So, after being defeated by Huang Wang's troops on the way to Yizhou, he turned to the rebel army to survive."

According to him, the reason for these old officers and soldiers to surrender voluntarily is very simple; although the generals of the official army are extravagant and want to spend money on their own, and the generals and schools can be the most powerful and virtuous people, but as the soldiers at the bottom, life may not be much better; it is common for the hierarchical oppression and beating and scolding, and the daily consumption of food and clothing are also deducted and delayed, and it is normal to eat wages from bottom to top;

Often, you need to work hard to improve your life; even if you follow the officials to rob and ravage the people, you will often get a little leftovers left by others; and even the imperial army is treated differently;

For example, the best-treated eight towns in Guannei represented by the Shence Army, as well as the vassal soldiers and personal soldiers, they even have their own land and properties under their own name; and the most down-and-out ones are like private slaves and servants in the name of the official army. Driven by military generals at all levels, they also do the hardest and cheapest work; or they simply catch Ding Laf halfway and make up the numbers, so the fugitives have been very fugitives; even if they are defeated and captured, they are easy to accept the change of identity compared to those authentic official soldiers or those who are prepared for border guards (Long March athletes).

Especially since the separatist vassal states and the authority of the court declined, various problems of dissatisfaction and reward of specific troops due to changes in the commander and political struggles and invasions, extending the problems of dissatisfaction and rewards of specific troops, which triggered one after another, and even turned into organized purge-style massacres from time to time, or collective mutiny that killed the commander and forced the court to accept the status quo, have always been seen in history.

For example, the Hedong Yindao Remnant Party Rebellion several months ago, the Xingzhou soldiers were slaughtered in the New Year, and the Langshan Town of the previous year caused Wang Ying to break through several states in the Zhejiang East. They were all a series of incidents caused by the intensification of conflicts with the local government troops being detained for clothing and food from the chief officials. Some of them were lucky enough to escape or after the failure, they joined the nearby riot peasant army and fought against the former government;

Therefore, in the rebel army, many surrendered or defeated the adapted former officers and soldiers. However, it was rare and rare in this newly built Nufeng Camp and even the rear camp under Zhou Huaian. The deputy Lin Ming of this team was actually among the group of people allocated to Nufeng Camp by the military government. Because of the priority sequence of injuries, he returned to the team after he was injured. By chance, he sent his tribe to Zhou Huaian's subordinates.

As for the strategies and means of seducing the enemy, it was not a new thing for these rebel soldiers. According to Lao Guan's memories and statements who brought the brigade to meet, the rebels, who were not as strong as that in their early years, had many tricks and fraudulent means to trick all the local officials and soldiers, and then gradually grew stronger. The Qingzhou Unified Army, where the team deputy Lin Ming was originally located, was mobilized and defeated halfway through the strategy of siegeing the city and attacking aid.

However, as the rebel army grew, some of the supporters gradually became inflexible and many mistakes appeared; and the success of the strategy also weakened with the smart and vigilant official army. Therefore, this method of planning was used less, and it became a frontal battle to gather ants to attach themselves to their power and attack and kill with all their might in the past to decide the outcome.

Of course, this result is actually not difficult to understand and accept for Zhou Huaian; no matter how good or thorough the planning and calculation are, it also requires sufficient manpower to implement it; otherwise, the more complex the plans, the more variables and flaws it means that they can only be compensated and corresponded by artificial and flexible factors.

This series of fraud tactics, including ambush and gate grabbing, are the best proof; if there is no strong enough and prohibited man to implement it, it is really impossible to play with the mouth cannon alone. Although most of the battles have been fought in the fishing village and fighting and resistance are still taking place in the Hong Kong city, the one-sided result is basically no surprise. According to his statement,

Because they successfully seized the entrance and exit doors and had the help and guidance of their previous internal support; many alarmed officials or earthen groups were killed or captured before they had time to gather; some officers and soldiers who were obviously part of the naval army did not have time to run on the boat to lift sails and unzip the cables, and were mostly blocked on the edge of the trestle on the shore and were besieged and fought in turn.

In ancient times, sailboats needed a considerable number of people to work together to achieve this. Therefore, even if some fish that escaped the net fled to the ship, they could not independently drive the ships. They could only hide in the cabins in despair, and were searched and killed by the rebels who subsequently boarded the ships.
