Chapter 1: Weezer (1)
On the morning of February 6, 1852, next to the woods on a mountain ridge in Dayao Mountain, Guangxi.
More than 20 young soldiers were on the battlefield, all dressed in the uniform colors of ordinary people in Guangxi, wearing black coarse cloth shorts and shorts, white coarse cloth belts around their waists, white cloth leggings on their legs, and straw sandals on their feet. Because of the cold, the soldiers' feet were wrapped around footcloths that might have been white, but now dirty and unrecognizable. The head of the crowd is not the kind of head cloth in Guangxi, because everyone tied a bun on their heads, so a white coarse cloth belt was tied on the head, which looked like a mourning team.
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stopped in the middle of the battlefield, his angular face had a roundness unique to young people, and he was no more than 2o years old no matter how he looked at it. The young man's name is Wei Ze, 19 years old this year, and he is a senior officer in the Taiping Army. Wei Ze walked over to the corpse of a Qing soldier, who was probably a petty officer with a single knife at his waist. In the battle that just ended, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were killed by Wei Ze's subordinates. The officer ran away after seeing Wei Ze and the others rushing out, and was stabbed to death by Wei Ze, without even having time to pull out the sheath with a single knife.
Because of Fang Cai's intense exercise, Wei Ze gasped for breath. The temperature in Guangxi is only 6 or 7 degrees Celsius at this time, and the breath exhaled from the mouth and nose quickly condenses into a cloud of white mist in the cold winter air. Leaning down, Weser unstabbed the knife from the corpse. When you pull the knife out of its sheath, it looks like it's just an ordinary standard iron knife, and it's nothing unusual at all.
"Fourth uncle, should we go after those Yao people?" A Taiping soldier named Wei Changrong beside him asked excitedly. This group of Qing troops was meeting with a group of Yao people, and they happened to be seen by Wei Ze and them, who had marched here. Weser led his subordinates to set up an ambush, and he himself took half of his brothers to sneak over and make a surprise attack. When these dozen officers and soldiers saw more than a dozen Taiping soldiers suddenly rushing out of the woods, they immediately shouted in fright, turned their heads and ran down the mountain. The fleeing Qing army crashed into Wei Zebu's pocket array and was completely surrounded, and more than a dozen people were wiped out in a blink of an eye. And the group of Yao people turned their heads and ran up the mountain, and at this time they had run far away.
Hearing his cousin and military chief Wei Changrong Wei Ze ask, Wei Ze smiled and said, "Who are you chasing?" It's not like we're going to have trouble with the Yao people in the mountains this time. Hurry up, clean up the battlefield and move on! ”
"Wei Sima, what about the corpses of these Qing soldiers?" Another soldier from the Taiping Army next to him asked. The speaker's name is Zhang Yingchen, and he is a military commander under Wei Ze.
"Don't stay on this road, we're here to explore the way, just find a ravine where no one is there and throw them into it after searching." Weese replied.
More than 20 Taiping soldiers searched the corpses of the Qing army, took away the money and weapons they carried, and the cloth shoes on the feet of the Qing soldiers were also dragged off. The Taiping soldiers finally took off the Qing army's waist cards and belts.
Wei Ze stood by and watched the soldiers search, he originally wanted to see what they had found, but his attention involuntarily fell on the heads of the Qing soldiers. This is not the first time Weese has seen the heads of the Qing army, which all have the official Manchu type of 1852, which is commonly known as the "money rat tail". It is to shave off all the sides of the head, leaving only the head in the center of the head, which is shaped like money, and the head in the center is braided and drooping, like a rat's tail. And this "rat tail" must be able to pass through a copper coin.
Originally, he killed these Qing soldiers with his own hands, and Wei Ze's once-boiling murderous aura was basically gone. can see the shape of the money rat tail on the head of the Qing army, Wei Ze still has a very strong hatred in his heart. This is not because Weese is murderous, but because of Weese's peculiar origins. Compared with the hundreds of men and women in the Taiping Army who worshiped "Sima" at this time, and compared with the more than 20,000 soldiers of the entire Taiping Army, Wei Ze is undoubtedly the most special. Because he's a traverser.
Just over three months ago, he was a 21st-century technician specializing in propeller design and manufacturing, and after graduating from university, he was assigned to work for a large state-owned shipbuilding company in the north. Under the arrangement of his father, who was a senior engineer, Wei Ze was assigned to work at the grassroots level for more than two years according to the industry model. First I studied in various workshops and became familiar with various departments of the marine industry, and then I was dropped back into the design department. A week after re-operating the drawing board and CAD on the computer, Wei Ze now "woke up" and became a 19-year-old "Tianping Heavenly Warrior" at the end of 1851.
Back in 1851, Weeser naturally had all kinds of strong maladaptations, and one of the strongest of the many maladaptations was the strong disgust after seeing this "money rat tail".
Blinded and misled by the film and television works he had seen, although Wei Ze had heard of the name "Money Rat Tail", he had always thought that the Manchu type was actually the "yin and yang head" that shaved off the front half of the head and combed the back half of the head into a big braid when the Manchu Dynasty fell. When he just crossed over, he saw with his own eyes the true face of the money rat tail, Aomorimori's scalp, and the handful of hair on his head was combed into a clown-like braid. Wei Ze thoroughly understood why the Han people set off a large-scale uprising because they refused to accept this barbarian type when the Manchus implemented the "Yi Ling".
Engineering students studying shipbuilding industry want to learn the history of Chinese shipbuilding, and to learn the history of Chinese shipbuilding, they must be exposed to China's modern history. In the 21st century, young people graduating from college have learned about China's glorious past and seen a future in which it will become the world's largest economic power in a maximum of ten years. The era when China's shipbuilding industry completely lagged behind the world was undoubtedly in the era of Manchu control, and the endless humiliation suffered by China in that era brought Wei Ze, a young man who grew up in the era of China's vigorous rise, an indescribable sense of pain.
China has a glorious past, and China also has a bright future, so the culprit of China's century-long sinking and humiliation is undoubtedly the decadent and degenerate Manchu regime.
Like ordinary 21st-century youth, Weizer firmly believed in the unshakable justice of opposing the Qing in the Manchu era. Like Chinese youth in the 21st century, Wei Ze also has friends of many nationalities, including Manchu friends. Most of these young people are the industrialized generation who were born and grew up in the cities of New China, and even the young friends of ethnic minorities are not opposed to abolishing ethnic divisions. Therefore, Wei Ze's great hatred of the Manchus is actually quite general, and there is no particular target.
As for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze's understanding is also the content of the ideas that must be remembered in the history exam. However, when Wei Ze saw the disgusting "money rat tail" on the head of the Qing army, he immediately made up his mind to follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which he was not familiar with, to overthrow the Manchu Qing.
Beauty and ugliness are very easy to discern. The Taiping Army's costume is also far from the traditional Chinese "Eguan Bo Belt", and the Manchu Qing Dynasty slandered the Taiping Army as "bandits" and "long-haired thieves" in history, because the Taiping Army did not shave their heads, but only scattered the long drapes. Guangxi has always had the habit of wrapping a head cloth, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army who stayed for a long time brought a variety of color head cloths, which was very literary and artistic youth.
Although there is only one reason why Wei Ze can fully agree with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this reason is enough for Wei Ze, who has long been determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty.
The search was completed by this time, and the corpse of the Qing army was finally left with only a pair of unbelted pants. Their shirts were also stripped off, and it was winter after all, and the Taiping soldiers had an extra coat to help keep them warm. Wei Ze thought about it, and cut off the braids on the Qing army's head. Looking at Wei Changrong's puzzled look next to him, Wei Ze smiled: "The braids are not heavy, so it's just a good time to take them back!" ”
Guangxi is known as a million mountains, and the mountains of Dayao Mountain are stacked and green, and there are valleys near the battlefield. The corpses of the Qing army were thrown into the valley and disappeared in the blink of an eye. What the Qing army could still remain on the battlefield was their weapons, half of which were spears and the other half were arquebuses. This is another thing that Weeser cannot accept immediately after returning to this era. The Qing army in this era turned out to be a firearms army.
History textbooks say that the Qing army was backward in equipment and vulnerable in front of the foreign army. History textbooks do not describe in detail, and the equipment of the Qing army at this time was already semi-firearmed. Wei Ze and the others walked all the way here from Yong'an City in the south of Dayao Mountain, when the Qing army was besieging Yong'an City, which was occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. More than sixty percent of the soldiers in the Qing army besieging Yong'an were equipped with muskets, and the northern and southern battalions of the Qing army had a large number of artillery. This was completely different from the Qing army that Wei Ze imagined, armed with broadswords and spears.
At first, Weeser even thought that he had just arrived on a planet similar to Earth. After these three months, Wei Ze was sure that he had indeed returned to the Qing Dynasty. The main equipment of the Qing army was undoubtedly these arquebuses and cannons. This kind of cognition did not make Wei Ze sigh that "the equipment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not so bad", but made Wei Ze even more desperate for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and China in this era.
In the arduous history of warfare in New China, there was a generation gap between the military industrial production capacity and weapons and equipment of that great army and the enemy. Our predecessors fought an arduous battle against industrialized Japan in their barren base areas, and tenaciously continued to expand their base areas behind enemy lines, regaining inch by inch China's territory from the hands of the invaders.
Although the arquebuses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were far from the flint guns popular in this era, they were far from reaching the gap between the Eighth Route Army, which had only five bullets in a battle, and the enemy. In the situation of limited disparity in weapons and equipment, it was still able to be beaten and signed countless treaties that humiliated the country, and such a Manchu Qing must be eliminated. Without the elimination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there will be no future for China. Weeser is a firm believer in this.
More than a dozen Qing soldiers did not carry much money, and after Wei Ze registered and made a register, he asked Lin Asheng, the commander in charge of logistics, to put away the belongings.
"Out!" Wei Ze ordered. The team of 26 people shouldered their equipment and continued to move in the northeast direction under the leadership of Wesser.
