Chapter 339: Qing Cao Li Bingxue (Part 2)
"At that time, the thieves in the world rushed up. First, the kings and thieves were called General Bu Tian, and they were overthrown by the kings and thieves, and they were overthrown by Huangmei... Among the remaining thieves, Huang Ni was called General Chong Tian and thieves to rage for a while; then they chased Huang Ni and fled to the ridges and returned, so the southeast was destroyed... So, there were Taiping thieves in other departments, and they were trapped in Jinghu and the official army could not control them... At that time, people sighed with regret, how many thieves in the world were... "
"The Secret Things of Qian Fu",
...........
Zhao Yingong, who had been properly dealt with and bandaged the arrows on his legs, limped outside the camp. However, it was already a snowy and a hustle and bustle under the sunshine. I don’t know where so many heads of rebels emerged.
In fact, as he vaguely saw, except for a small number of Taiping Army, the remaining crowds of people were also authentic rebels. I know how many such messy rebels had developed in the local area during this period.
Seeing them happily holding the heads of officers and soldiers or other spoils, the equipment and outfits they exchanged for were more like old weapons that were gradually replaced by the Taiping Army and eliminated after being reused.
Of course, the most popular here is undoubtedly the ones produced and stored by the Taiping Army. The compressed dry food made of old grains that are as harsh as bricks, canned meat-substitute pots made of beans, blood clots, and black coarse felt blankets and jars of wine.
All of this situation and atmosphere came from the three strategies of the Taiping leader's "punishing the powerful, sprung up the righteous soldiers, and supporting the city". It was precisely because of these preludes that it was very useful in the counterattack of the official army's southward invasion;
In contrast, the process of his team leading the team to assist and fighting in time was a bit unreasonable, but it was just a timely result; in the end he ran away the troops he brought. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. At this time, a strong fragrance suddenly pulled Zhao Yingong's attention back.
"Bao General Zhao, are you going to have a bowl?"
Chen Duer, a battalion leader who was busy in front of several stoves and trucks, grinned at him and said
"This is the fish porridge made by the Navy River Catching Team. It is specially used for the wounded to nourish the body."
"Little did you know that you caught an important person yesterday."
"Is that..."
Zhao Yingong couldn't help but walk forward in surprise, took over a bowl of hot fish porridge.
"The guy who was half dead after you killed the horse was already recognized by someone. He is a horse army of Taining Army. He is also a training envoy of Yanzhou regiment... What is his name? Li Shitai or something?"
Chen Du'er also picked up a bowl and said happily.
"It is said that Liu Lang's battalion and his team had already chased them into Xiangzhou and plundered them. Even the official army's city walls and Guancheng were burned a lot..."
"It's a pity that Guan Gou's big boss named Song was not found in the formation, otherwise he would have caught the imperial court's official position as the governor of the army. So there are still many brothers who are still patrolling outside..."
It seems that because of a big victory just now, Chen Du'er has become particularly talkative and let go of the hidden alienation of the past.
"The official you caught is the biggest one now... I'm afraid there is a good reward when it comes to merit. I'm not sure if you can choose the reward items you want."
After hearing this, Zhao Yingong was also a little excited. According to some of the situations and examples he knew, according to the reward and punishment instructions in the latest version of the "Taiping Holy Library System", the contribution of killing generals and even capturing life in front of the formation is much greater than that of other people in choosing specific rewards.
Although there are not many specific goods and goods, the subsequent corresponding benefits are generous and rare in the world. In addition to the accumulated acres of merit on the basis of military land guaranteed for service period, you can also obtain salary and subsidies at the corresponding ranks and various rations of the corresponding battles and personal merit medals.
You can also choose to enter the school to recreate more advanced military strategy and political theory, or to choose to transfer to another place based on the same rank. You can even choose to transfer to local military positions and apply for them in order to achieve a more stable and peaceful life.
In fact, many military generals who feel that their physical strength is gradually weak or have limited knowledge and limited potential, but cannot keep up with the changes in the Taiping Army, will choose this path of retirement to the second and third lines in the rear and enjoying the rest of their lives in disguise.
In Zhao Yingong's eyes, he was becoming more and more like a kingly army and a new and emerging potential with a more complete position. Therefore, he was still the same traditional martial artist who was serving the food and wealth in his bones and was considerate of his family, but he couldn't help but have a difficult choice for a while.
Suddenly the sound of the horn sounded and the camp gate opened wide. A crowd of people carrying helmets and armors came in. Suddenly, the crowd of people in the camp was shocked and the bluffed were as busy as the river was tide.
Then, the carts transported in were bundles of flags and armored soldiers piled up like hills on large carts. These Taiping soldiers were all wearing cloaks and conspicuous cloaks, carrying bows and crossbows and holding swords and guns. It was as if they had just fought this battle and had a new look.
In fact, as far as he knew, there were only two dissatisfied battle camps and three garrison battalions in Jingmen City, which were about four or five thousand troops. In addition, those who rushed to support and restraint, the two battalions of cavalry and soldiers who echoed were only seven or eight thousand seats in two places. However, the opponent's official army was known as the army of Jingnanjie Town, which was known to have tens of thousands of armor.
Seeing this scene with extraordinary scenery, Zhao Yingong was envious and felt that he might be witnessing the birth of a new legendary story. At least compared to the Taiping Army, Wang Tiejian, who had been personally praised by the Taiping leader as "full of courage"; this Ge Guomei and Ge Congzhou had no choice but to evaluate "both courageous and courageous" after this battle.
You must know that he actually dared to take risks in tactics of virtuality, inside and outside. He used the old and weak to defend the city to bluff, and used the main force to scatter outside the city to actively look for fighter opportunities, dealing with the invading enemies, and finally he turned out to be the result of defeating more with few.
Because the commander who led the cavalrymen from the front line to the rescue, Liu Liumao, the chief clerk of Hezhou, has not returned to pursue the enemy yet; so soon Zhao Yingong, as a representative of the reinforcements, met Ge Congzhou, who was covered in dust and melting snowflakes, and expressed his congratulations.
"This is a gift from the VI leader."
However, Ge Congzhou took out an inconspicuous cloth bag to show him without any concealment.
"If you can use it in the future, you can go to Suiying Night School and show your experience and lessons to teach your own teachings... So it's okay to show it to you..."
Zhao Yingong suddenly saw the narrow note that there was only the sixteen-character mantra of "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stands and I disturb me, the enemy is tired, I attack me, the enemy retreats and I chase me."
In an instant, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, opening a brand new portal in his mind, and running through all the gains and losses of his years of experience in cavalry and horse battles. Isn’t this a tactic and strategy tailor-made for his clutch soldiers who come and go like the wind.
Suddenly, he had a certain plan for his next plan and future arrangements. He decided to ask to join the National Institute for further study to better understand the principles and propositions of the Taiping Army.
At the same time, in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou Prefecture City, north, Shandong Jiedushi Liu Jurong, standing on the top of the city, was also looking at the thief and cavalry who showed off their might in the countryside outside the city despite the winter wind, snow, frost and cold, and even rushed to the city gate to challenge the battle.
Although he was determined to kill the thief and to slap his spirit, the tribes who had just recovered from their defeat a few months ago refused to ask for a war with a mixed feelings. As for the new Taining Army under Duan Yanmo, they sent a group of troops to tentatively attack from other gates; and then they never came back.
So everyone stood on the city with greater peace of mind, and after witnessing the noisy and clamor of these thieves, they slowly disappeared in the wind and snow again; with them, there was also a fleet of roaming rivers and mountains.
......
In the Fuguan Hall of the Daming Palace in Chang'an, a temporary summoning that hastily gathered is also in progress.
However, as the initiator of the summoning couple, the prime minister Lu Xie, who had just driven away his political enemies that would hinder his own power and could lead the court to overwhelm the ministers, was no longer as proud and energetic as ever;
Instead, he hunched his back with a difficult and hard work that he worked hard to get sick. In front of the young emperor who was still yawning and holding a dopant and covering his face with a sad voice:
"Gao Qianli misled me, Gao Qianli misled me... It's such a devastating thing..."
"Why wouldn't Huainan lose this general? Who wouldn't the entire Southeastern financial and wealthy area be uneasy?"
The two "strong husbands" who had never had any sense of existence, Lu Qi, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the third-rank Dou Lu Qi, also said with a frown.
"This court's financial plan for the coming year, the salary of all officials and their lords, the money, grain, clothes and silk of the army, and the gifts and money of the soldiers used by the towns... wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"I'd like to ask the saint to rest. Since the official troops that were attacked have been defeated and most of them can go to their own places, Huang Ni must have suffered a lot of damage."
Lu Xie could only bite the bullet and forcefully defend himself, and argued with the emperor who was indignant and outspoken.
"There must be a lot of room for recovery in the matter. Now the power of Huainan Town is just a little down, and the powerful generals are still in control of the territory... It can be ordered to continue to block the encirclement along the river, and the thieves will be raged and raged..."
After all, in terms of national strategy to fight against thieves, he had already tied up with the Gao envoy and Prince Gao too deeply; even if there was something unexpected, he could only try to make a difference and relieve his cheeks. Therefore, in terms of emotion and reason, even if there was a slight possibility, he had to persist and maintain the other party.
Otherwise, someone in the court would have handed over a thief, claiming that he would have to recall the former prime minister Zheng Ting, who was demoted to Luoyang, in order to work together to deal with the current chaos. Moreover, his disciples and party members had already begun to build momentum in the court and the public. If he was really successful by these people, then for Lu Xie's party, who had finally won the power of the court, would be a major setback and slap in the face.
"What do you think of the two roads in East Zhejiang and Jiangxi?... Are you just letting the thieves gallop and go around?"
Yu Zong, the young tutor of the prince and the young tutor, spoke out and questioned.
"I think I can entrust another capable commander to be the deputy commander of the various roads in Jiangnan to promote the troops of Zhenhai, Yisheng, Xuanshe, and Fujian, strictly guard against the enemy to prevent the thieves and chaos. And lead the Jianghuai Transportation Commissioner on behalf of the Jianghuai Transportation Commissioner."
"No, it's inappropriate..."
Lu Xie immediately reacted and said, "The other party was trying to build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly and snatch the voice."
"Gao Bohai has always been the pillar of the country's dynasty. It is not appropriate to divide the power of the world's famous ministers... It would be better to ask Jiangxi to recruit Cao Quanshi to lead his troops across the river to make the situation in the southeast of Ji..."
"No, Shandong Liu Jurong's new defeat was unstable. If Cao Quanshi's troops did not respond to this, wouldn't they be isolated and helpless and open the door to attack the bandits?"
Yu Zhun couldn't help but retort.
"Is there no other good choices outside Huainan because of the vastness of the imperial court?"
"I think that we should do the task of revenge and take the two thieves in Hunan and Southeast as a risk."
Seeing that he was once again in a quarrel, he was the last prime minister present, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of the Secretariat, Cui Han, proposed some suggestions to take a path.
