Chapter 10: Tujia Hakka (10)

"Killed!" A middle-aged man in his early forties walked up to Wei Ze and said tiredly. He held a bamboo spear in his hand, the head of which was only sharpened with a knife, and no iron was tied to it. Wei Ze could see clearly that the part of the front end of the bamboo spear more than two feet long was stained with blood, and a stream of blood flowed down the tough bamboo pole from the spearhead, and the blood stains had dried up at this time, leaving black marks more than three feet long on the emerald green bamboo.

The middle-aged man has no pleasure of revenge, let alone the excitement after killing. He was just tired, even a little out of strength, and crumbling. Wei Ze couldn't understand what kind of deep hatred could make a person like this.

No, not just one person. This is basically the case with all the Hakka people who participated in the attack on Tujia villages. Silent fighting, silent killing. Only when I was hurt did I have the occasional moaning and aching pain. It was the villagers of the annihilated Tujia village who wept and screamed, and then they were killed.

"Killed?" Weser asked with a bit of a fluke that might have been a bit of a survivor.

"They're all killed." The middle-aged man replied tiredly. Then he simply sat on the ground, and after a moment he began to sob.

Wei Ze didn't want to ask any more questions about the survivors, the contradictions that had accumulated between the Turks for nearly a hundred years had intensified in the last ten years, and each side owed each other countless blood debts. Cursing each other to death the whole family and the whole village is the norm in Guangxi. It was Wei Ze's fault to think that when there was a chance to completely liquidate, there would be any mercy left on both sides.

On a sunny afternoon, the Hakka village had already collected all the corpses of the Tujia family. Only a dozen women and twenty or thirty children survived. The children were all three or four years old, and the women were extremely weak, and even when the family was slaughtered, they only trembled and did not say a word

The corpses were set on a pyre, and when a fire was lit, the stench of burning the corpses quickly spread. After smelling the smell, Wei Ze couldn't bear it anymore and vomited on the side of the runway.

Killing the enemy on the battlefield, Wei Ze did not have any uncomfortable reaction at all. Now participating in the massacre, Weser has a strong antipathy deep in his heart. Almost vomiting the contents of his stomach, Wei Ze's brain was still quite clear. The Tujia village is definitely not a pure angel, and their brutal treatment of the Hakka village, Wei Ze just hasn't seen it with his own eyes, but he hasn't experienced it himself. Today's fate is bound to be self-inflicted.

According to the agreement, the Taiping army did not want goods, but only food. After moving the grain, Wei Ze led the team to leave the village first. At the agreed gathering place, Wei Ze joined Wei Changrong, who led the team to attack another Tujia village.

The other force was fully numerous, and it was sure that it was a complete victory. Wei Changrong's face was very ugly, and after seeing Wei Ze, he said sullenly: "My side has almost been killed." ”

"Me too." Wei Ze replied, "The next step is Wujiazhen. ”

After being silent for a moment, Wei Changrong suddenly said: "Fourth uncle, this Guangxi can't stay anymore!" ”

If Wei Changrong could say such things in the past, Wei Ze would definitely be surprised, at least to praise Wei Changrong. Before the rise of the Taiping Army, the vendetta of the Turks in Guangxi was on the verge of exploding, and there was already smoke everywhere. The Taiping army and the Qing army fought fiercely, and the whole of Guangxi lost the power of bullet pressure, and the vendetta became more intense.

When reading history books, Wei Ze never understood why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not continue to grow in Guangxi and then seize national power. On the contrary, he fought all the way from Guangxi to Nanjing, thousands of miles away. Seeing with his own eyes how much the hatred of the Tujia Hakka has accumulated, Wei Ze understands the truth. Guangxi, as the powder keg of the revolution, did not ignite the flames of revolution after the explosion, and the fierce contradictions and contradictions between the Turks and the Turks in Guangxi made Guangxi, which was already very poor, even more broken.

Guangxi, which was already impoverished, was unable to support a regime that expanded outward, and at present, Guangxi, which was increasingly crippled by the fierce vendetta of Turks, did not dominate the world.

Just seeing with his own eyes that after personally participating in the fierce vendetta, Wei Ze didn't have the heart to praise Wei Changrong's cleverness at all. He was already thinking that since Wei Ze said that he was gathering men and horses in Wuzhou when he went south to Wuzhou, perhaps the best option at this time was to turn around and join the Taiping army.

"Fourth uncle, can I let the people here go with us?" Wei Changrong saw that Wei Ze was silent, and couldn't help but ask what he was more concerned about. Wei Ze had already made his attitude clear, and the most important thing at this time was to gather people. The villagers have broken down two Tujia villages, and they have been desperately moving things to their homes. If Wujia Town is broken, God knows if they will think about guarding Wujia Town. If that were the case, how could the villagers choose to continue to follow the Taiping army?

Wei Ze's mood is quite low now, and he has led his troops to kill thousands of Qing troops so far. In the first battle of Dayuan, if you add the Qing army who died because of Wei Ze, it is not inconceivable that there will be two thousand. This time two villages were destroyed, and at least more than 2,000 people died in the two villages. It felt very bad for Weeser. Even so, Wei Ze also cheered up and said: "Changrong, Wujiazhen must be beaten." Our current food is only enough to eat for a month, if we can't take Wujia Town, what will we eat? As for what the people think, then they can only reason. ”

Wei Changrong said: "Fourth uncle, it's better to be like this. If we take Wujia Town, we might as well destroy the town, if there is a complete Wujia Town in the hands of the local people, how can they still want to follow us? ”

"I'll talk about it." Wei Ze said helplessly.

When they returned to the station, the brothers of the Taiping Army did not boast about their military exploits as before, and everyone cooked and ate in silence. The Taiping army was born from the common people, and even if they killed the evil Tujia, the soldiers were not happy.

After Wei Ze and the others finished eating, Ruan Xihao rushed over, followed by the village chiefs and elders of the six villages, after seeing Wei Ze, Ruan Xihao stepped forward and bowed, "Wei Checkpoint, when are you going to attack Wujia Town?" ”

"Wait for me to take a look at the terrain first." Wei Ze said, "In addition, please tell me how you fought Wujiazhen in the past." ”

On May 2, Zhang Yingchen returned to the Taiping Army camp near Wuzhou by boat. Compared to a few days ago, the pattern of the camp defense is very different, with female patrols carrying muskets and spears patrolling outside the camp like men. When Zhang Yingchen looked at such a purely female unit from the eyes of an old soldier, he felt a little strange.

From a purely military point of view, the route arrangement, the formation of the queue, the training of the female patrol are very good. They are enough to intimidate ordinary people and bandits. The problem lies in this style, no matter what, Zhang Yingchen feels that this purely female team does not have the murderous spirit of a male army. When a male patrol sees a suspicious person, they immediately try to attack like a beast that is now invading their territory. The characteristic of the female patrols is that they also know the various rules and regulations, but the problem is that the women just don't have that kind of murderous spirit. It's as if they're trying to do what an army should do, rather than a real wolf-like army.

Even so, Zhang Yingchen felt a lot more relieved. If the entire camp were to be protected by men alone, the number of troops would not be enough. Even if a female unit that strives to be an army joins the military system, it can improve the combat capability of the entire army. At least during the battle, Zhang Yingchen didn't have to think about how to protect the women's camp. At the level of the Qing army, it is impossible to defeat this female army lightly.

As soon as he returned to the Chinese army, Zhang Yingchen saw a guard of the King of the South waiting in the army. Seeing Zhang Yingchen, the guards immediately stepped forward and asked, "When will Wei Checkpoint return to the army?" ”

Zhang Yingchen was stunned for a moment, he knew that Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, was willing to let Wei Ze go south to Wuzhou, and the important reason was that Feng Yunshan believed that Wei Ze could gather a large number of people in Wuzhou. The Taiping army now lacks the most troops, Feng Yunshan admires Wei Ze's ability to march and fight, especially Wei Ze's several solo attacks, and the results are quite fruitful.

It's just that Wei Ze has only been out for more than half a month, and he has been able to easily attract a large number of troops. The Taiping army was too different from the rest of the armed forces, and the gang of the Heaven and Earth Society did not obey Wei Ze's orders at all. Moreover, Zhang Yingchen also heard that when the Taiping Army started, there were tens of thousands of Guangxi triads who tried to join the group, but in the end the two sides still did not negotiate, and the triads eventually left the Taiping Army and worked alone.

However, the guard's feelings were quite impatient, and Zhang Yingchen could only say perfunctorily: "This Sima, we are about to fight a town called Wujiazhen. It will take about 10 days. Besides, Wuzhou hasn't been able to beat down yet......"

The guard didn't come to bargain, he said quite sternly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait ten days." The king of the south has an order, and the king of the east has urged several times, if Wei inspection can take down Wuzhou, then hurry up, if not, immediately rush to Guilin. ”

Hearing the order of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, Zhang Yingchen was also a little stunned. Wei Ze's small force accounted for about one-thirtieth of the Taiping army. Say too much, say too little. Wei Ze said at the meeting that if he was involved in the battle against Guilin, it would not make much difference. If it can attract the Qing army to divide its troops to the south to catch up, it can play a great role. Up to now, Wei Ze and others have killed more than 200 Qing troops under Liu Changqing, but they have not seen any signs of the Qing army moving south......

Thinking of this, Zhang Yingchen continued to ask: "I don't know if the Qing army is coming to chase us." ”

"I didn't see it all the way." The guard replied.

Zhang Yingchen said with a smile: "This Sima, I came back this time to lead troops to Wujia Town. Wei Checkpoint is also in Wujia Town, you and I can go together. ”
