Chapter 3: Daozhou Panhuan (3)
Wei Changrong was not too excited when he learned that he jumped directly to the commander of the army after he crossed the division commander. Wei Ze is not a guy who can particularly calm down and can respond to other people's joys and sorrows, of course, this kind of requirement is too high for the "19-year-old" Wei Ze. So Wei Changrong stared at Wei Ze with a straight face, waiting for him to continue.
Wei Ze continued: "The East King asked you to take your men and horses to the East King's Chinese army, and you will directly obey the East King's command in the future. ”
Hearing this, the smile that had been shown because of the promotion quickly disappeared from Wei Changrong's face. "Why?" Wei Changrong asked.
"This is a military order, why not?" That's all Weese can say.
"Fourth uncle! I don't want to go! Wei Changrong replied neatly, "Don't use any military order to pressure me, that is the military order given to you by the King of the East, not the military order given to me by the King of the East!" ”
"Changrong!" Wei Ze suddenly felt very ridiculous, and Fang Cai himself almost expressed his position to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and clearly claimed that he didn't want to go to the king of the west. Now it's Wei Changrong's turn to make such a fuss. Is this what is called showing retribution?
Wei Changrong no longer had the slightest joy because of his promotion, he pursed his lips and said quite unhappily: "Fourth uncle, it's not a matter of whether you are promoted or not. Do you think I don't know why you won't follow others? You don't see the way those people march and fight. I used to just know how to charge and follow you, but now I know more about how to fight. It's not just me, Zhang Yingchen, Hu Chenghe, and other brothers, when it comes to marching and fighting, who doesn't give a thumbs up and say good. They are willing to follow you so far, believing that you can fight and can fight. Fourth uncle, I'm afraid of death, I don't want to go to Dongwang. ”
can make Wei Changrong say the word "afraid of death", Wei Ze is really speechless. Is Wei Changrong really afraid of death? Wei Ze didn't think so at all. Whether fighting against the Qing army or fighting with the local army, Wei Changrong braved the rain of bullets and bullets to rush to the front every time. Listening to Wei Changrong's self-proclaimed "fear of death", Wei Ze felt that he could understand Wei Changrong's feelings very well. It is precisely because he rushed to the front line, because he has really crossed the battlefield of death, and after fighting so many battles with Wei Ze, Wei Changrong does not want to die under a low-level command.
But Wei Ze couldn't help but persuade and said: "Changrong, don't look down on the East King, the East King is also very good at war." ”
Wei Changrong was not persuaded by Wei Ze, he said: "Fourth uncle, you said that the East King is powerful. But that's the war...... Strategically powerful, planning powerful. But when it really starts, I still think you are the most powerful in the Taiping Army. Whoever wants to go will go, I don't want to go. ”
Wei Changrong resolutely didn't want to go to Dongwang, and Wei Ze didn't want to ask anyone else. As a last resort, Wei Ze could only run to find Yang Xiuqing, who was commanding Wei Changhui, the king of the north, to arrange the defense of the city. Wei Ze stepped forward to give a salute to the two princes, and then said: "King Qidong, although there are many brothers from the Heaven and Earth Society who have joined his subordinates along the way, they are all new recruits, Wei Changrong has been fighting with his subordinates for so long, and his subordinates really can't live without him." The subordinates were willing to transfer another 500 people to the subordinates of the East King, and asked the East King to leave Wei Changrong to his subordinates. ”
Hearing Wei Ze say this, Wei Changrong squinted his eyes and stared at Wei Ze with a condescending attitude. Looking at that posture, it seemed as if he was about to reprimand Weser immediately.
Yang Xiuqing looked at Wei Ze's expression of suffering from gains and losses, and couldn't help laughing: "Five hundred people can't make it, but six hundred." ”
"Six hundred is six hundred!" Weese breathed a sigh of relief.
And Wei Changhui interjected at this time, "King Dong, Brother Wei is recruiting troops along the way, and I'm afraid that there will be fewer people for six hundred people for five hundred." ”
Wei Ze scolded secretly in his heart: Which green onion are you! It's not like this to shoot the East King horses, is it good! You're only generous!
But Wei Changhui is the king of the north, and Wei Ze is not qualified to accuse him at all. This is not a modern society, and the subordinates will scold the general manager. In this day and age, the following offenses are capital offenses. Weser could only pretend not to hear.
"Seven hundred, then." Yang Xiuqing knows how to get off the donkey.
Wei Ze was very distressed about allocating an extra hundred people, but he was distressed, and he was able to ensure the integrity of the troops he had painstakingly built, and it was worth giving an extra hundred people. Moreover, Wei Ze's troops pay great attention to training and screening, which is not as simple as picking out some people with good physical qualities. Including willpower, initiative. These combined judgments determine the division of the fighters.
By 15 June, only 18oo remained, of Weese's once 3,500-strong force. But these troops were all young men who were valued by Qingzhuang and Wei Ze, and the skeleton of the entire army was not destroyed. The staff system, the combat training system, and the combat system, these backbone elements have all remained. There are also quite a few new recruits added to the troops.
On June 17, the high-level meeting of the Taiping Heavenly Army, as the prime minister, Wei Ze was naturally able to participate. There were no commanders at the level of military commanders attending the meeting this time, and the lowest one had to be an inspection. The content of the discussion is the problem that the Taiping army has been encountering, "food".
After a few days of rest, Hong Xiuquan seemed to have regained some energy, and he began to speak frequently at meetings. Wei Ze soon realized the difference between Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xiuquan is not unwitted, but Hong Xiuquan himself obviously lacks the ability to solve specific problems. Yang Xiuqing is very good at solving specific problems, and everything he talks about is the key to solving problems.
Among the core figures, Wei Ze's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by a strong man. This is an inspector named Luo Outline, I don't know if it is Wei Ze's delusion, he always feels that when Hong Xiuquan talks about how to go to victory, Luo Outline's face always has a bit of a mocking taste.
After Hong Xiuquan discussed with Yang Xiuqing and others, Hong Xiuquan finally began to ask the thoughts of his subordinate generals. What Wei Ze wanted most was the opportunity to fight independently, so he simply proposed to go south to attack Jianghua and Yongming counties, which was originally the place where Wei Ze had already walked when he made a detour to Daozhou, and he was familiar with it. Once the two counties were controlled, Wei Ze would be able to obtain food and other supplies locally. The Qing army is definitely trying to besiege Daozhou now, and once it occupies Jianghua and Yongming, it will be tantamount to forming a corner with Daozhou, which is quite advantageous in terms of strategic posture.
As Wei Ze's immediate boss, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, quite agreed with Wei Ze's opinion. First of all, Wei Ze guaranteed that he could bear this battle independently, and secondly, Wei Ze had 18oo people under him after all, and these 18oo people had to eat and drink, and there was a lot of pressure on the food in the city. The third point is Xiao Chaogui's unspeakable reason, Wei Ze went south to Jianghua and Yongming, which in itself can attract the strength of the Qing army. If the Qing army gathered a large army to attack Wei Ze in Jianghua and Yongming, it would undoubtedly relieve the pressure on Daozhou.
Now that Xiao Chaogui has spoken, the other princes have no way to directly oppose it. Wing King Shi Dakai looked at Wei Ze with a rather strange gaze. Among the crowd, Wei Ze was the youngest, and the second youngest was Shi Dakai. In this unfamiliar place, Wei Ze actually dared to lead the army to attack the county seat alone, this courage cannot even be described as heroic, it can only be said to be bold.
However, Wei Ze didn't care what Shi Dakai thought, he didn't even notice that Shi Dakai was looking at himself at this time. Wei Ze was already silently thinking about how to start a movement war between Jianghua and Yongming, and solve the Qing army that would inevitably come to kill Wei Ze in the movement.
At this time, someone said: "King Dong, Prime Minister Wei has no naval army, and relying on him to go to Jianghua and Yongming will inevitably be alone." ”
Wei Ze was bowing his head and pondering, Ling Wei heard this, and when he heard this, he felt bored for a while, who came to stir up the situation when he was full.
When I looked up, it was Luo Outline who spoke.
Yang Xiuqing said: "What does Luo Jian think? ”
Luo Xuan replied: "I can send a naval army to go south with Brother Wei, he will take 6 routes, and I will take the water route." Water 6 goes hand in hand, and it should be possible to capture the county seat. ”
"I'm not prepared to storm the county." Weese replied immediately. As soon as these words came out, everyone was very surprised.
Wei Ze explained: "When I went north from Guilin, I passed through Jianghua and Yongming, and many local Tiandihui brothers joined. They all said that the local Tiandi Association had long wanted to raise things, but they also knew that they couldn't defeat the county seat. When I went to Jianghua and Yongming this time, I first contacted the local Tiandihui brothers, and it would be easier to capture the county seat if I could pull these locals. ”
Luo Xuan didn't have any dissatisfaction because he was openly rejected by Wei Ze, but he cheered, and then turned to Yang Xiuqing, "King Dong, if Brother Wei plans to do so, I am willing to go to Jianghua and Yongming with Brother Wei." I also knew some brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society there. ”
"No!" didn't wait for Yang Xiuqing to speak, but Hong Xiuquan spoke first, "The current soldiers are not enough to defend the city, where are there so many soldiers to fight Jiang Hua and Yongming together." After they are all gone, who will defend the city? ”
Since Hong Xiuquan said this, the other kings were not good at interjecting again. Wei Ze was disappointed in his heart, he had fought for so long, and he had gradually gained some feelings about the battlefield. So Weeser has a much clearer sense of sports warfare. If the Taiping army could adopt a campaign war when it was in Yong'an, mobilize the Qing army with Yong'an as the core, and eat the Qing army one by one, it is difficult to say what the final result would be. But the Taiping army was stubbornly defending Yong'an, and was surrounded by the Qing army for more than half a year, and finally had to highlight Yong'an. This time Weeser didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he wanted to play it out from the beginning. I didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to deny it like this.
has Hong Xiu's full words, which is equivalent to setting a tone. And the kings did not strongly oppose Hong Xiuquan's meaning, and in the end the discussion became how to defend Daozhou. Daozhou Castle is a mountain city surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is very easy to organize defenses here.
It seems that the sports war has consumed the spirit of these people! Wei Ze commented in his heart. But he didn't give up, and after the meeting, Wei Ze found his immediate boss, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West. He said directly to Xiao Chaogui: "King Xi, my subordinates feel that it is still inappropriate to stick to Daozhou. If you stick to it, Daozhou is just a second Yong'an. ”
Xiao Chaogui still had a witty smile on his face, and he asked, "Brother Wei, do you still want to fight Jiang Hua and Yongming?" ”
"Yes, my subordinates want to take the people of the headquarters to attack Jiang Hua and Yongming." Weese replied.
"Then you can go." Xiao Chaogui replied very simply.
