Chapter 16 Still Alive
As a convenient position that is close to the water tower, although it is not responsible for any important chores; however, through the daily record of the goods, Zhou Huaian also gradually figured out some of the situations in this "Rufeng Camp".
The Rage Camp now has about 1,191 soldiers in the front line, of which only 176 are old soldiers from the north, and 340 are the main soldiers from Liangzhe and Fujian, and the rest are all new soldiers recruited and recruited by local people;
There are also more than 200 people in charge of kitchens, livestock, mailboxes and porters, most of whom are eliminated, and only forty are elderly people brought to the north.
As the head of the Nufeng Camp, the purple-faced man who was known as the head of the King of the Head is Wang Pan. He is a local person in Ruzhou, Henan. He is good at using an iron-headed stick and nicknamed "Wang Leizi". He is the title of Chief Commander among the rebels under Huang Chao, known as 100,000 yuan. However, he is actually the fourth head of the Nufeng Camp in the face of danger. It has only been a few months since he took over the Nufeng Camp.
Secondly, Ding Hui, the general of the Nufeng Camp, who was his deputy, was running outside and his whereabouts were unknown;
Although there is only one battalion of troops, it is said that sparrows are small and have all kinds of internal organs, with several types of archers, infantry (knife), and spears (spikes). There is even a small team of thirty horse riding teams composed of old soldiers. Although the equipment is also extremely simple, there is nothing else except the saddle and wooden spear.
Before this, they were originally a local rebel army that they defected to during the battle of Wang Xianzhi's uprising army conquering Ezhou; they only re-armed with the equipment they delivered to re-armed and turned into a unit;
At first, he belonged to Wang Xianzhi's confidant general Shang Junchang. At its peak, he had three or four thousand people, and was known as one of the wings of General Wang. However, the good times did not last long. On the way to Chang'an to negotiate for pacification, he was intercepted and killed by the vassal Song Wei tribe, the 50,000 troops of Wang Xianzhi were also killed in battle after he joined the headquarters of the headquarters. The remnants of the rebel army scattered in various places, led by Shang Junchang's younger brother Shangrang, went north to join the Huang Chao's troops, which had joined another rebel army. From then on, he should change his banner and subordinates.
However, as a foreign army, the Nufeng Army, which was constantly suffering from losses and lacked supplementary methods, also shrank again and again, became the Nufeng Camp, which is now short of personnel. Until the battle between Dayu Ridge, although a large number of old people, including the new and old officials of the previous two, had suffered heavy casualties, they never beg for surrender from the official army. Instead, after being defeated, they continued to go south to catch up with the team of their own troops;
Later, he used his journey of remnants and weakness to defeat all the officials and troops summoned by the governor of the Lingnan East Railway Li Zhao. Therefore, he was valued by the Huang King again, not only rebuilding the title of the Nufeng Camp, but also having the qualifications to prioritize the selection and supplement local soldiers.
When Huang Chao was trapped in Fuzhou, he began to establish rules and regulations in the army and rectify the army as a common example. Since then, he followed the judge army system and established troops in different battalions and established troops: Fire chief, team commander, brigade commander, captain, commander, commander, other general, general, and subordinate general, to replace the originally chaotic leaders, leaders, generals, soldiers, guards, arrests, defenses, strategies, and military commanders;
Therefore, the current highest official of the Nufeng Camp is Wang Pan, a native of Ruzhou, Henan, who is the deputy commander of Guoyi, who is responsible for the daily situation; while Ding Hui, an old man from Nufeng Camp who is from Ezhou, has given his identity as his deputy to help him with his heart.
This Ding Hui was also the only survivor who led the remnants to the Huang Chao's formation after the death of the previous two generations of fathers and brothers after they were killed in battle. Therefore, he was able to allocate a group of old soldiers and rebuilt the almost destroyed Rage Wind Camp. Therefore, it is said that he seemed to be very bitter and revenge on weekdays and was not angry with anyone, but when he talked about Huang Wang, he couldn't help but show his sincere gratitude and yearning; because he was good at using a thorny gun with family skills, he retained his position and was recruited to Huang Chao to listen to the results.
Therefore, under the many ingenuity of making mistakes, as the number two figure, Deng Cun, who is actually known as Deng Lucheng, is also the old soldier and leader of the team assigned by the rebel army, and the commander of all infantrymen of the Nufeng Camp. Therefore, his call and prestige in Nufeng Camp was second only to Ding Hui. He was a cold-faced man with little talk but a bit harsh daily. He was a wide-headed iron knife.
On the contrary, as Zhou Huaian’s temporary guarantor and recommendation leader, the young and quite mature lieutenant Chai was quite well-known;
His qualifications were even much older than the predecessor of Nufeng Camp. He was a young man who began to follow Wang Xianzhifanyan when he was young. After he started to fight in Henan, he was classified as an old man from the Central Army headquarters who was running and fighting under Huang Chao because of his identity and origin of the village party. Therefore, although he only had the title of a lieutenant, he wanted many middle and lower-level generals of the rebel army, including Wang Pan, the chief commander of Nufeng Camp, to be more polite and polite.
As for the rest of the people, they are inevitably a little lacking ingenuity or lacking enough sources of information. This also has the opportunity to contact and understand his current identity. There is too little time to make corresponding inquiries and judgments.
In the next few days, Zhou Huaian discovered that he had become the only real civilian in this rebuilt Nufeng Camp.
Before this, during the period of the Jufeng Army, the predecessor of the Jufeng Camp, he had only a handful of so-called documents, records and history, but when the army headed south, they were basically dead, fled, and separated. In the end, those who could arrive near Guangzhou with the remnants of Jufeng Camp were almost all martial artists and men who could not read a few words.
Just a few days ago, the clerk who sent a few helpers to rebuild the Nufeng Camp was also called back because of the busy affairs of more important matters; so in fact, the Nufeng Camp, which lacks nothing, was basically the commander Wang Pan and Bian Jiang Ding Hui who were trying hard to manage and deal with it.
There is no way to go in this cruel and backward world, there are many people who take risks due to hunger and cold, but there are too few people who can read literary and calligraphy.
According to the private complaints between Wang Pan and others, after conquering Guangzhou this time, a group of scholars were supposed to recruit for use; but for various reasons, there were only a few candidates who were willing to take the initiative to commit themselves to the recruitment, and the few who were willing to surrender were almost all divided up for other closer and important subordinates in the rebel army.
So after they made several requests, they were able to get Zhou Huaian, a "monk who was forced to return to secular life" from the familiar Commander Chai, as a man who responded to the situation. Then they finally completely freed themselves from all kinds of messy things and miscellaneous things.
Therefore, under the current circumstances, Zhou Huaian, who is the only one, is still relatively safe and needs to be benefited from.
On the other hand, thanks to the extensive and neglect of logistics support and maintenance in this era, as well as the waste and fallacy caused by various management chaos in daily affairs; Zhou Huaian easily found several entry points, and gradually reflected the obvious effects generated in some daily difficulties and neglected nodes;
Although most of them are vulgar people who don’t know a lot of words, no one will refuse to gradually become troublesome and worry-free, and even actively enjoy it. In this case, he can easily get the results and trends he wants through adjustments in detail and exchange of interests.
He also received the first follower and helper, a thin half-grown young boy, Xiaoqi, who is considered a member of Henan Township Party, who is the coach of the voyage. He claims to be fifteen years old but looks only twelve or twelve years old. He is responsible for daily errands, moving things and cleaning, so that Zhou Huaian has more time and spare time to organize and distinguish these documents and records accumulated over time.
Outside the ridge, based on the information I heard from the Nufeng Camp afterwards, Zhou Huaian discovered that he was in Guangzhou City, and he had suffered a certain unforgettable disaster.
The initial order from the soaring general was indeed "just kill the Hu'er, not hurt the Han family", but this obviously too general and vague instruction was inevitably understood and exerted by various rebels who entered the city to clean up.
As a result, it became various private standards, from the initial "killing those who are not as good as those of Chinese people" to "killing those who are not as good as those of Middle-earth clothes", to "killing those who are suspicious of words and deeds", and "killing those who have ulterior motives and intentions to resist", which directly turned Guangzhou City into a slaughterhouse and Shura area with blood flowing and scattered pestles.
This is the dark side and historical limitations of the so-called peasant uprising army.
Therefore, after a few days of careful consideration and consideration, he formally requested to meet the first suggestion given by the Chief Wang Pan, which was to use the opportunity to continue to replenish the collection of troops and materials, and to collect as many people as possible those who know some skills or have some skills, and to establish the originally almost out of the logistics system and auxiliary personnel team.
From this point of view, he has no decent competitors and potential resistance to damage his vested interests, but he is able to expand the resources and influence he has in disguise.
"Monk, do you want to recruit more people?"
Wang Pan, who was practicing with his personal team, asked back, and was sweating all over his body, who was opening his chest to fan the cool air.
"What is this saying again..."
"It is because the camp lacks all kinds of skilled people..."
Zhou Huaian made a respectful saying.
"The progress of construction and repair has been delayed."
"So I want to ask the head to give permission and send someone to the relief grounds in the suburbs of the city and recruit some suitable personnel to come over..."
"I'll let Dajie take charge of this matter"
The other party paused and said disapprovingly.
"You can go together, just tell me a little bit."
"By the way, Xiaochai has nothing to say to him, saying that he would lend you to the rescue in two days."
"Maybe there are other benefits for you..."
"But by orders..."
Zhou Huaian replied without changing his expression.
......
"How have you observed these days..."
After walking far away from Huai'an, Wang Pan put down his uneasy expression just now and asked.
"There is no flaw yet..."
An inconspicuous person beside him whispered.
"It's a lot of people mingled with Lao Feng and his team in the Houzhang..."
"Then keep staring...."
"There is nothing suspicious yet, so I might as well give him more usefulness."
"It's finally easy to get such a suitable monk..."
"It's just a waste of time to make people idle, except for something really important..."
"You can try his school exam and try it out."
"If there is anything wrong, there is a chance to leak your travels, right?"
"If there is really no problem, we must make good gratitude and win over..."
"The dogs who always like to chew on the side of Huang Wang said that we can't keep people in our camp."
