"If an official or military trespasses into a private house, the people can kill themselves." Wei Changrong stood on a street corner outside Guilin, slowly reading the text on a notice. Not far away, the residents of Guilin were looking curiously at Wei Changrong and the troops behind him.

Wei Changrong arrived outside Guilin during the day, similar to other cities of the era, because of the population boom and the large number of residential areas outside the city. The war seemed to have a very limited impact on the residents outside Guilin, and seeing Wei Changrong appear outside the city with his troops, the residents were just a little nervous and a little curious, and there was no sign of a vulture.

In the original wishful thinking, Wei Changrong thought that if he suddenly appeared under the city with his troops, the people living outside the city would be frightened, and then spread the news to the city. But now the people are so calm, the military discipline of the Taiping Army strictly harasses the people, and Wei Changrong can only honestly accept the onlookers of the people.

There are also streets in residential areas outside the city, and signs are posted on street corners. Wei Changrong was originally literate and also learned culture with the army. The first time he came to Guilin, he was not familiar with the place, and after seeing the notice, he couldn't help but go over and read it. After reading it, Wei Changrong was dumbfounded.

Wei Ze said that the plan could not catch up with the changes, and Wei Changrong now thinks so. As a close confidant of Wei Ze, Wei Changrong participated in the formulation of all plans for the plan. From Wuzhou in the south to Guilin in the north, from crossing the river by dividing the troops, to now the troops are moving westward. Plans are always changing. Even Wei Changrong, who was accustomed to constantly changing plans, was at a loss for what was happening in Guilin at this time.

The Taiping Army, the Qing Army, the Guilin Government, and the people of Guilin City. These four forces are probably the main existence of Guilin City.

The Taiping army and the Qing army were enemies of the Guilin government, and the Guilin government was the enemy of the Taiping army, and they also publicly wrote notices, asking the people to kill the Qing army by themselves when they encountered the Qing army's house robbery. The people are the most miserable, and they lack the ability to even protect themselves, even if the people kill the Qing army on their own, but the Qing army is organized and disciplined, and it is not something that can be killed if you want to.

Wei Changrong couldn't help but think about whether he could take advantage of the contradictions. I was thinking about it, but I heard someone shouting in the distance: "The officers and soldiers are robbing people, kill them, kill them!" ”

turned his head to look, but saw someone shouting and rushing towards Wei Changrong and the others. The warrior immediately stopped the man dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but the common man was not afraid, and he shouted, "Master of the Taiping Army, please help!" The officers and soldiers went to my house to grab things. Please help! ”

Although he was a little worried that there would be an ambush here, but the opportunity was rare, Wei Changrong immediately ordered a two Sima to lead the troops to follow the people first, and he himself was a subordinate reconnaissance network, and the main force followed behind the two Simas.

didn't wait for the complete arrangement, but saw that the two Sima had already captured a few Qing soldiers and came back, and the Qing army really ran to the residents' houses to rob, and after being blocked, they couldn't escape and were captured alive.

"Kill them!" "Kill them!" The people outside Guilin, who had not dared to get too close to Wei Changrong's troops, now leaned over and shouted.

"Kill them all!" Wei Changrong was naturally unwilling to go against the wishes of the people at this time.

Hearing Wei Changrong shout like this, those Qing soldiers felt that it was a matter of troops, and they straightened their necks and shouted: "The master of the Taiping Army spares his life!" The old man of the Taiping Army spares his life! The Taiping Army, who was still here a few days ago, had an agreement with us that the well water would not interfere with the river water. We don't fight with the old men of the Taiping Army, and the old men of the Taiping Army don't ......"

Wei Changrong listened to the words of the Qing army, and the more he said it, the more wrong it became, he took out his waist knife and went up one by one, and beheaded several Qing soldiers. There is often a tacit understanding between the Taiping army and the Qing army, the Qing army is unwilling to fight to the death with the Taiping army, the Taiping army is much smaller than the Qing army, and the Taiping army is naturally very welcome to the Qing army that is unwilling to fight. When the two sides fought head-on, they were all pretending to go through the motions and fool the upper echelons of the Qing army.

Because of this, Wei Changrong could only kill people. His purpose at this time was to harass the Qing army under the city of Guilin, and Wei Changrong also had an idea, if he could go to the ferry and seize the boat, he could transport troops across the Li River. At this time, it is no longer the time to have a good relationship with the lower echelons of the Qing army, and it is the right thing to have a good relationship with the local people in Guilin.

Putting away the single knife, Wei Changrong shouted: "Guilin's fellow villagers and elders, I and the Taiping Army are all from a bitter background, and they can't survive before they rise up to rebel." We are the people in the first place, so naturally we do not rob the people or kill the people. If you encounter the Qing Demon looting, you can tell our Taiping Army, and our Taiping Army will naturally support you! ”

This was originally a scene, and Wei Changrong had to shout out. Unexpectedly, as soon as the shouting was finished, some people rushed up and cried that their homes had been looted, hoping that the Taiping Army would call the shots for them.

"This fellow, where is your home, is the Qing Demon still in your house?" Wei Changrong asked.

The people cried and said, "O lord! The officers and soldiers have robbed us of our things and are selling them in the barracks! ”

The Qing army was corrupted in military discipline, plundered everywhere, set up a market in the camp, and publicly auctioned off the looted property. The magistrate of Guilin was very annoyed by these officers and soldiers who were looting, and ordered the Qing army to kill the Qing army who could break into the house and rob to defend themselves. Originally, when the Taiping army besieged Guilin, the Qing army did not dare to run outside the city controlled by the Taiping army to rob, but only looted in the villages near their respective camps. Now that the Taiping army crossed the river to the north, the Qing army, which had long been salivating over the wealthy residents of Guilin City, immediately killed outside the city and began to sweep up.

In order to prevent the Taiping army from raiding, he sealed the four gates, and could only rely on long ladders and ropes to enter and exit Guilin City. Naturally, he turned a blind eye to what was going on outside the city. Only then did the Guilin magistrate write a notice that "if an official or military trespassers into a private house, the people can kill themselves".

"Where is the camp of the Qing Demon?" Wei Changrong asked.

Seeing Wei Changrong asking, the people outside Guilin who had been plundered by the Qing army volunteered to lead the way for Wei Changrong.

Wei Changrong hurriedly said: "Everyone! I'll wait to fight the camp of the Qing Demon, and the Qing Demon is only afraid that I can see it from a distance. If you can't beat it, it's not beautiful. It's better for you to go straight to the Qing Demon camp in front of you, I waited behind and followed, and when I arrived at the gate of the Qing Demon camp, I waited for a sudden kill from behind, and the Qing Demon was caught off guard, but it was easy to succeed! ”

Looking at the hesitant expressions of the people, Wei Changrong continued: "We only need the weapons and food of the Qing Demon, and we will not take a penny of the things they have stolen in the camp. ”

In fact, this is also half true and half foolish, Wei Changrong really needs to get the grain and grass of the Qing army, especially the gunpowder in the Qing army's barracks. Where is the silver of the Qing army, Wei Changrong is also a little interested, as for other objects, it is a burden to carry when marching.

But Wei Changrong couldn't trust the people, so he let the people be in front, and if he really encountered some other situations, Wei Changrong could run away with his troops. If the people refused to do so, Wei Changrong could also refuse the people's demands under the pretext that it was difficult to get close to the Qing army camp.

Unexpectedly, the people just thought for a moment, and then expressed their anger that they were willing to stand in front of Wei Changrong and help Wei Changrong get close to the Qing army camp.

The camps of the Qing army were not all located in the city, but in the city were Xiang Rong's garrison troops. When the Taiping army besieged Guilin, many troops of the Qing army were surrounded from all over the country, and after the Taiping army withdrew from the siege and went north, only a part of the Qing army went to chase after it, and a considerable part of the camps of Guiyong, Dian Yong, Dongyong, Zhuang Yong, and other troops from all over the country were set up outside the city. These foreign troops had nothing to do with the people of Guilin, they were the main force of looting.

The people of Guilin didn't care where the troops came from, nor could they tell where they came from, just as they couldn't tell the difference between the armies of the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the armies of Wei Ze of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. What they knew was that the army of the imperial court was robbing them, and the Taiping army, whether it was the army besieging Guilin in front or the army that appeared in Guilin now, neither robbed the people nor killed the people.

For the people, it is enough to know this. Knowing this, they understand who to rely on, who to dodge, and who to hit.

Soon, hundreds of civilians were in front, Wei Changrong's troops were behind, and a group of people went straight to the nearest Qing army camp. The camp of the Qing army was placed with the occupied dwellings as the core, and it was not a field camp at all, let alone a tight defense. In these years, the people regarded the officials and soldiers as fierce beasts, and they did not want to get close to the officials and soldiers at all. Therefore, this "camp" has no horses and no guards, like a den of thieves.

And the Qing army, which was in and out of the thieves' den, did not seem to know that a Taiping army had come closer.

"I hope the Qing army didn't lay an ambush!" Wei Changrong prayed in his heart, and then said to the two pawns who followed him: "Follow me in!" ”
