Chapter 413: The White Lotus Uprising
The governor of Huguang is no longer a quota, but a special amount.
This was a governor from the army who first came to Chang'an and wore armor. He worshipped Tang'a from the sticking place, and then moved to the third-class guard. When the Qing army conquered the Great Jinchuan chief, he specially joined the army. After two years of war, he defeated Meimeika from the foot of the northern mountain of Zili. He attacked the highest peak of Ronggarbo and seized half a stone pavilion on the Kangsar Mountain. He destroyed the Milagalamu mountain ridge and Mucheng, and made contributions and was awarded the general of Weining Town, Qianzhong.
But the position of a mere general is really far from the position of the Governor of Huguang.
The special amount can reach the current high position, which is entirely due to Qianlong's promotion.
In the 42nd year, Feng Sheng's death died of illness. This important official of the Qianlong Dynasty had several important positions, one of which was the Minister of the Inner Guard. Qianlong used the former family as the Minister of the Guard Guard and was an official of the court, so he ordered a special amount to make up for Feng Sheng's inner Guard. He was transferred to the Ministry of Rites three times and was appointed as the General of Chengdu, and was appointed as the Governor of Sichuan and Shu three times and was appointed as the Governor of Huguang.
In just a few years, he has completed a path that a man like Chen Biao can never finish in his life.
Now that the war is coming, the special Chenge will naturally not stay in the rear of Wuchang. He will hand over all the government affairs to Li Shou, the governor of northern Hubei, and personally lead the army to the Han River.
Now he made the decision to stay in Xiangyang with the governor of Huguang Yu Jin-liang. He personally led his troops to meet Chen Jun for a while.
Chen's army on the other side did not take the opportunity to launch an offensive against Xiangyang.
"You can't force the other side too much. Otherwise, how can the White Lotus Sect enter the city?"
If the Chen army crossed the river, even if it drove many people outside Xiangyang City, the Qing army might not accept it.
Instead, it is better to slow down.
First, the result of waiting for the Eastern Army (Wusheng Pass east of Xiangfan) to confront the Qing army, and second, the result of giving the White Lotus Sect room for operation.
Zhao Liang didn't want to fight to the death with a strong battle.
With today's military technology, it is not easy to seize Xiangyang, especially when the enemy's will is strong.
Huguang Admiral Yu Jin-Jia Wu was a member of the Blue-Fedged Guard. He served in the army for more than 40 years and was very majestic in the Huguang army.
It is almost impossible for a veteran like him to surrender.
Moreover, he was from Tianjin, and his relatives and friends were under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so it was even more impossible for him to surrender.
If Zhao Liang was asked to fight to the Xiangyang City at this time, then the soldiers would really not know how many casualties would be.
——Xiangyang’s wide moat has not yet frozen.
This city is just about to be fought, so I can only fight before the moat is completely frozen.
However, Zhao Liang still put his banner in Fancheng and under the eyes of the Qing army.
Not only that, Chen Jun also sang a big show on the position.
Several art troupes formed by the Propaganda Department, one of which followed Zhao Liang to the south, are now in handy.
Although this so-called art troupe is more like a opera troupe.
But it is true that Chinese people in this era do not distinguish between high and low, whether they are old or young, and everyone likes to watch big shows.
They have not seen many tricks of the information age like Zhao Liang. In a pretentious sentence in later generations, that is, how can people who have seen the stars and seas care about the fluorescent light?!
But in the current era, just a big show is enough to make the whole army cheer and thunder. Not to mention that the scene is singing about something closely related to them.
For example, the status of military martyrs and their families.
From recruiting workers in factories to clerks from grassroots administrative units in townships, from children's schooling to the exemption of money, grain and taxes, and land divided by the superiors...
There is no need to say anything. When these benefits are placed before everyone, it is difficult for you to suppress the soldiers' fanatical morale and boiling fighting spirit.
Especially after they saw and heard the lives they lived with their families.
Tens of acres of land rented out can be called "orphans and widows" for renting out taxes, because they are tax-free, and then there are condolences for the superiors during festivals. Women can spin and weave cloth at home, and their children can attend school for free. Even if there is no man in the house, orphans and widows can live a good life of eating, drinking, dressing, and sleeping.
As for the military families who survived the battlefield, or the military families who had brothers at home, the men went to work and farm, the women were weaving and spinning, and the men's monthly military pay, the family lived a fairy life with white flour, steamed buns and rice every day, and all meals were full of vegetables and meat?
Think about it, this can make everyone intoxicated.
Wang Jinglong's troops have been defending for so many days and being beaten by the Qing army for so many days. His morale was a little depressed, but now after watching a few big shows, the morale in the army is "swooshing" and he wishes to poke a hole in God.
The morale of the army is too high.
"This is a good thing." Zhao Liang looked calm, because all this was within his expectations.
No one in this era can resist this temptation.
"Then let's cool them down and let them see what happens after they violate military rules and regulations."
Just giving benefits cannot make people feel obedient. You have to slap him. At most, a slap him and then give him a sweet date. Although it is a very common method, it works.
Regarding the consequences of violating military rules and regulations, this really makes the soldiers with high morale as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
But this made them even more memorable.
Comparing the gap between the two can even make them feel fear of violating military rules and regulations.
Liu Zhixi and Song Zhiqing looked at him silently. Even Fan Xueming, Yao Xuecai, Gao Chengjie, Zhang Yuemei and others who came quietly across the river were stunned.
The Zhao family's propaganda method is different from the divine deeds of the White Lotus Sect, but the latter is absurd. If others don't say it, how many of them really believe in that thing?
At the beginning, the reason was that the government was so overwhelming that everyone had something to join in to keep warm. Later, the scale became larger, and this created a vague power, and even became a thing for each other to make money.
But no one knows how profound everyone's belief in Wusheng Lao Mother is. It is not guaranteed that the lower-level religious believers would be the same as they thought before.
Everyone is thinking about real benefits, and how many people really believe in the old mother who is in her hometown?
Therefore, the foundation of the White Lotus Sect is very vain.
However, the Zhao family is different. What the Zhao family gives is real benefits, and what the soldiers can see and touch.
Such a team may not be as fast as they preached, but such a team is also far stronger and more cohesive than the foundation of the White Lotus Sect.
Both sides are not going the same way at all!
This is the common thought of all the people who came from the White Lotus Sect.
