[Today's second update is here, please bookmark it, please recommend it~~~ there are really few recommendation tickets~~~~]
"Soldiers" are recruited. They do not need to be hereditary, but they will disband after the war and go home. The soldiers' money, equipment, horses, etc. are all provided by the state. The soldiers' money and food can basically be distributed on time. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of soldiers is generally stronger than that of the army, which also makes soldiers often look down on the army and believe that the military households are all a group of farmers without combat effectiveness.
Li Chengdong was carrying war soldiers, and he really looked down on the garbage-like garrison troops. Behind him, Li Chengdong even felt that the hundreds of war soldiers he led could completely remove the entire Aoshan Guard. Instead of paying money and feeding these guards, the country would rather allocate all their money and food to the war soldiers and disband all the guards.
However, although the combat effectiveness of the guard army was not good, the officers were hereditary and had a large amount of land. They were disguised landlords. In other words, they had a lot of wealth. It seemed that Zhao Yinying had tens of thousands of acres of land. In the entire Laizhou Prefecture, there were only a dozen people with so much land. Li Chengdong was able to fight but his landlords were less than 10% of Zhao Yinying's land. He was naturally dissatisfied with the opportunity to kill the garbage like Aoshanwei. He would not mind at all.
Qianhu in Fushan District is also hereditary, which makes it impossible for the superiors to install their own people. It can be said that no one here was sad for Wang Shixin's death. On the contrary, everyone felt that the opportunity had come. Because Wang Shixin's position was vacated, he could install his own people. Qianhu in Fushan District is a fifth-rank military officer. This is not important. What is important is that there are many fields in Fushan!
Sun Zhixie suddenly asked, "Old Tan, your information is not wrong, right?"
Tan Yingde said affirmatively: "That's right. The fine salt of that woman Sun Weina came from Fushan. Beizhi sent someone to follow her for half a month and was sure that the fine salt was transported from Zhaojiatun. But when she arrived at Yangjiatun, she couldn't get in. It's unclear how the fine salt was produced in Yangjiatun."
Sun Zhixie said leisurely: "As long as you confirm that all the fine salt is produced in Yangjiatun, that's good."
Tan Yingde said affirmatively: "This is completely confirmable."
Sun Zhixie nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone here nodded with satisfaction.
They all felt that it was a trivial matter to clean up the poor military households in Fushan. As long as the army arrived, even if those people resisted fiercely, they would not be able to make a long time. A group of broken military households, who had no weapons or equipment, could they be the opponents of the war soldiers? They all caught them and chopped their heads to see how they made trouble. As long as they killed hundreds of people, the others would definitely be afraid. If it didn't work, then continue to kill until the other party completely surrendered.
The key is to grab all the salt.
Otherwise, even if you kill someone, it will not be considered full-time.
Sun Zhixie glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone has no objection to the previous proposal, do you have any opinions? Laizhou Prefecture has 30% garrison, Aoshan Prefecture has 20%, Salt Inspection Department has 20%, and the rest have 10%.
Of course, Zhao Yinying was not very satisfied. He was the commander of the guard, a senior official of the third rank, and the highest rank among all the people here. Sun Zhixie was only a fourth rank. Fushansou was originally the territory of Aoshanwei. Theoretically, all the fine salt should belong to Aoshanwei. But now, Sun Zhixie and the others have left 80% in one breath, leaving only 20% for him, which is really a bully.
However, Sun Zhixie was a civil servant, and the status of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was much higher than that of military officers. Even the commander of the second-rank commander, when he met a fourth-rank prefect, he had to consciously be lowered by three points. Nothing else, just because others were civil servants and he was a military officer. In fact, a small fifth-rank soldier could make a first-rank general a headache. There was no way, others were in charge of money and food. Not to mention a prefect and a guard commander.
So, everyone said there was no objection.
Sun Zhixie nodded with satisfaction, raised a piece of watermelon, and said confidently: "Then I wish me success in the battle! Let's make a fortune together!"
"Fight one success!"
"Get rich together!"
Everyone started to shout arrogantly.
Zhao In-young shouted very loudly.
……………………
While Sun Zhixie and others were discussing the matter, Zhang Zhun also convened several backbones of Shengxia Sect for a meeting. Unlike Sun Zhixie and others, Shengxia Sect opened an account without a cold watermelon, only a big sun fan. Many people were wet. Despite this, everyone's expressions were still quite solemn. After all, this was the first attack of the officers and soldiers. Zhang Zhun used the words "first encirclement and suppression" to describe the current situation.
In addition to Zhang Zhun, Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu, Hou Shanping and others, there were Yang Kaide, Chen Guoxi, Mao Sanye, Li Fenglai, Yin Gensheng, Zou Huoming, Zhou Shiwen, Luo Dashan and others. They represented the backbone elements of the military households. Many of them were still during the inspection period and were not formal members of Shengxia Sect. Zhang Zhun had very strict requirements for joining Shengxia Sect, and would rather be insignificant than be indiscriminate.
The attack of officers and soldiers was imminent, and the atmosphere in Fushan City gradually became tense. Under the heavy pressure of officers and soldiers, the military households in Fushan District inevitably experienced some ideological fluctuations. Some military households were dividing fields, raiding houses, killing people, fishing in troubled waters, and taking advantage of the situation. They were very happy and continued to do so. However, when they heard that the officers and soldiers came, they began to hesitate and wait and see. It was inevitable that they raised hundreds of people with the same rice. At this time, it was very necessary to unify everyone's thoughts and resolutely counterattack the attacks of officers and soldiers. For those swaying military households, if they could not do ideological work, they must resolutely suppress them.
Yes, Zhang Zhun is never ruthless on this issue.
No matter how strong the fortress is, it will easily be broken from the inside.
Since he has embarked on this path, he will never allow others to stumbling behind his back.
The members of Shengxia Sect have a firm attitude and do their best to assist the guards in combat. Most of the military households have the same firm attitude and firmly support the implementation of a head-on attack on the officers and soldiers. Everyone knows that when the officers and soldiers come, most of the military households in Fushan City will definitely not have good results. Wang Shixin and others died at the hands of the military households, and the court will not let them go easily. If they believe in the officers and soldiers, they will not know how to die. They have taught countless bloody lessons, they will never be fooled again.
However, there are certain differences between defending the city and going out to fight against the city. Some people think that Fushan City has ready-made defensive facilities and two Folang cannons, which should be fully utilized. Defending the city can reduce its own casualties and greatly consumes the vitality of the officers and soldiers. Everyone firmly believes that if they are defending the city, the officers and soldiers will not be able to attack the city. As long as it is delayed for ten days and half a month, the officers and soldiers will definitely retreat.
Zhang Zhun advocated going out of the city to fight.
His reason is very simple. If the officers and soldiers are allowed to come to Fushan City, even if all the military households are retreated into the city, the officers and soldiers will also cause huge losses to Fushan City. Now the crops outside the city are at the critical moment. If they are destroyed by the officers and soldiers, the food will be in trouble in the future. Moreover, the eight villages outside Fushan City are likely to be razed to the ground by the officers and soldiers. Even if the officers and soldiers cannot conquer Fushan City, they will eventually have to retreat, and Fushan City will be greatly damaged.
On the contrary, if you go out of the city to fight, there will be no such losses at all.
There is only one direction to go from Jimo County to Fushan City, that is, to attack Fushan City along the west side of Laoshan. As long as the guards block the attack route of officers and soldiers in this direction, Fushan City behind them will be safe and sound. The areas around Fushan City will not suffer any losses. Of course, the price you pay for fighting with officers and soldiers on the plains is definitely greater than the defense of the city. After all, from Jimo County to Fushan City, there are all plain areas and there is no danger to defend. This is exactly what others are worried about.
If the attack of officers and soldiers cannot be stopped in the wild and suffers major losses, then when you retreat to defend the city, both the strength and morale will be seriously affected. How much is the chance of winning when fighting officers and soldiers on the plains? To be honest, except for Zhang Zhun, others are unsure. After all, the number of officers and soldiers is much higher than that of the guards, and there are also many firearms equipped.
Master Mao San asked cautiously: "Yulin, if you leave the city, where are you going to fight with the officers and soldiers?"
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Baisha River."
Baisha River originates from Laoshan and flows from east to west. It is about 60 miles long, just separated Jimo County and Fushan. The north side of Baisha River is Jimo County. The south side of Baisha River is Fushan. Because of the long-term drought and rain, Baisha River has basically cut off its currents and can only pass through. At the same time, there are wooden bridges in many places in Baisha River that can be used. However, Zhang Zhun and others can completely demolish all the wooden bridges before the officers and soldiers arrive. In this way, officers and soldiers can only cross the river.
Will officers and soldiers cross the river?
This is for sure.
The officers and soldiers did not have time to build bridges, nor did they have tools to build bridges, and the guards would not let the officers and soldiers build bridges. Without bridges, of course they could only interfere. Besides, the officers and soldiers definitely felt that even if they interfere, there would be no big problem. After all, they dispatched nearly a thousand people and had quite good equipment. With the superior forces, they would not have a big problem to cross the Baisha River.
Master Mao San asked with some concern: "The water of Baisha River is too shallow, less than twenty feet wide, and it takes less than half a quarter of an hour to get in. Can the guards block it?"
Zhang Zhun said confidently: "Of course!"
Zhang Zhun was fully confident about the power of the Hu Ben gun.
Since Zhang Zhun was so confident, everyone had no objection.
Zhang Zhun is a military authority, and his decision is everyone's decision.
Finally, everyone agreed to face the enemy in Baisha River.
The next morning, Zhang Zhun personally convened a mobilization meeting to inform the three conditions proposed by Aoshanwei.
When the military households heard the three conditions proposed by the officers and soldiers, they were all angry. These three conditions were simply to force the military households into hell. How could they agree? Especially the fields they obtained were well sorted out and the crops were full of vitality, and they were waiting for the harvest in October. At this time, even if the Heavenly King came, they would not be able to hand over the land. The military households agreed to block the enemy's attack in Baisha River and actively participated in the war.
After the mobilization meeting, Mao Sanye personally led his men to demolish all the wooden bridges on the Baisha River. Old Man Chen Guoxi led some young and strong men to help the guards sort out the battlefield on the south bank of the Baisha River. The so-called tidying up the battlefield means flattening all the uneven places in the riverbed. All the weeds, reeds, etc. are cleaned up. This will help the guards exert the power of the Hub Bend.
In addition to the guards, more military households were mobilized to pick up their respective weapons, whether they were sticks, hoes, or kitchen knives, and gathered at Baisha River. Their mission was to guard against other parts of Baisha River to prevent sneak attacks from officers and soldiers. If the guards defeated the main force of the officers and soldiers, they immediately rose up to chase and beat the dogs in the water.
"The seizure of everyone is not necessary to hand over it."
Zhang Zhun said intentionally or unintentionally.
The military households were even more excited. This means that the property they snatched from the officers and soldiers did not need to be handed over. If they ran fast, they might have to be seized. Everyone still knows how much combat power the defeated officers and soldiers have. There is no problem in the pain of beating the dog in the water. Besides, many military households have indeed accumulated countless anger over the past few decades and need to vent it.
Zhang Zhun has ordered all the weapons stored in the Shenji Hangar and the Military Weapon Bureau to be distributed to the Second Line Guards, including all armor, waist knives, spears, etc. In addition, the guards were eliminated before, almost every young man in the Fushan Institute now has his own special weapons, which can be said to be everyone. If these young man on the Second Line are counted together, there would be thousands of armed personnel in the Fushan Institute.
There are two main leaders of the second-line guards, one named Zhou Zhengyu and the other named Wu Qingliang. Their performance was outstanding. The second-line guards they led were hundreds of people, and their staff were enough, but their weapons and training were a little poor. They distributed along the Baisha River to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers. It is absolutely impossible for the officers and soldiers to interfere in other places. As long as they block a little, the main force of the guards could arrive quickly.
Hearing that he was going to fight again, Yang Yinghan was naturally very nervous. She took the time to sew a piece of cotton armor for Zhang Zhun. There were thirty-two layers of cheesecloth, layered, and multiple layers of silk in the middle, which were repeatedly knitted. Although such cotton armor was not inlaid with iron sheets or copper nails, it had a very good defense. It was difficult for ordinary muskets to penetrate within five meters. And it was quite light, at most only three kilograms. Unfortunately, it took three people half a month to set such cotton armor, which was really too difficult. Otherwise, Zhang Zhun would have to equip every soldier in the guard team with a set.
Three people?
Which three people?
Of course it was Yang Yinghan, Xue Zhidie and Xue Ningying.
The two girls of the Xue family can also be female lovers, and they do quite well. It is not surprising that Xue Ningying can be female lovers, she is a good girl. But Xue Zhidie can actually do it, which made Zhang Zhun curious. It turns out that she has a very gentle side, which has never been shown in front of her. It seems that when she is rich, she has to get some wood to study the shipbuilding for her. Women who can be female lovers are everywhere, and she is the only woman who can be shipbuilding, so she can't waste it.
On June 15th, Zhang Zhun led his guards to the south bank of Baisha River.
The battlefield is chosen in a place called Xiaoping Village.
This is the widest place in Baisha River, with the riverbed about twenty-five meters wide. Because of drought and little rain, the deepest river water is only at the knee. In the middle of the river, there are several small beaches to separate it. This is the most commonly used ferry from Jimo County to Fushan City. There were originally wooden bridges, but the wooden bridge had been demolished by Mao Sanye. If the officers and soldiers wanted to cross the river, they would definitely have to interfere.
When the officers and soldiers crossed the river, the guards attacked halfway.
Fifty tiger guns are enough for officers and soldiers to taste what blood is like.
The latest information is sent one after another.
Aoshanwei finally issued an order to appoint Li Qink as the Qianqian House of Fushan, replacing the killed Wang Shixin. Li Qink is a relative of Li Chengdong. In the battle between the army and the soldiers, the soldiers finally won.
On June 16th, officers and soldiers set out from Jimo Camp and rushed to Fushan City.
The war is about to break out.
Chapter completed!
