Chapter 35: The Battle of Changsha (13)
When Wang Qinian said goodbye to Wei Ze with a gloomy face, Wei Ze's face was also gloomy, he stared at Wang Qinian's eyes and did not answer immediately.
Originally, there was still some courage brought by grief and indignation, and Wang Qinian could still say it more normally: "I came to say goodbye to Master Wei." But under the pressure of Wei Ze's grim look, Wang Qinian became more and more uneasy, and he finally lowered his head.
"Brother Wang, do you think I'm playing with the head-lowering technique?" Wei Ze didn't really want to do anything to Wang Qinian, from his heart, he still hoped to recruit Wang Qinian under his command. So Weeser is still making a final effort.
Wang Qinian didn't expect Wei Ze to be so polite until now, and his face softened, "Master Wei, don't think so." No matter what method you use, my brother's life is always saved. If it weren't for Master Wei's mercy, my brother would definitely not be able to survive now. β
These words are also the truth of Wang Qinian. Although Wang Qinian was extremely shocked by his younger brother Wang Qisheng's crying, after all, everyone would be shocked when he heard that someone had put worms in his brother's wound. But Wang Qinian didn't think that Wei Ze had special malice. With the severity of his younger brother Wang Qisheng's injuries, if Wei Ze hadn't personally rescued him, he would have died long ago.
Wang Qinian also knew Wei Ze's intentions, he thought that Wei Ze would know some demon techniques, but Wei Ze hadn't used these demon techniques to do anything bad. If Wei Ze really used such a spell to drop his head, Wang Qisheng would have become a walking corpse controlled by Wei Ze a long time ago, where could someone else put worms on his wounds.
But this understanding of Cheng DΓΉ not only made Wang Qinian's already meager gratitude to Wei Ze fly out of the clouds, but also strengthened Wang Qinian's determination to leave.
Wei Ze stared at Wang Qinian for a moment, the expectation on his face had disappeared without a trace, and he said coldly: "That is, Brother Wang doesn't look down on our Taiping Army?" β
At this time, Wang Qinian couldn't help but shudder, Wei Ze said it to this point, and there was no room for nonsense between the two sides. The most important thing is that Wei Ze pointed out Wang Qinian's true thoughts, even if he was saved by Wei Ze twice, even if he worked for Wei Ze to cast cannons, Wang Qinian did not want to join the Taiping Army.
Raising his head to look at Wei Ze, Wang Qinian saw Wei Ze's disappointed look. Although his heart was churning, Wang Qinian finally chose to tell the truth, since everything has come to this point, and if he makes up any nonsense, it is obviously underestimating Wei Ze, "Master Wei, I really don't want to join the Taiping Army." Master Wei saved his brother's life, and he is very grateful. There's really no way to repay Master Wei's kindness. β
"Forget it! Let's go! Wei Ze waved his hand at Wang Qinian, since things have come to such a point, it is better for Wei Ze to forcibly keep people than to let Wang Qinian leave by himself.
After Wang Qinian went out, Zhang Yingchen, who sat beside Wei Ze with other senior generals, and watched the whole process of the matter, said hatefully: "Prime Minister, it's better to hand over this surnamed Wang to me, and I will definitely let him know what the end of being ungrateful is." β
Lin Asheng came to report this incident to Wei Ze, Wang Qisheng was so frightened that he made a fuss in the hospital, and talked nonsense for a while. Although Lin Asheng sent someone to supervise him, he couldn't keep Wang Qisheng in lockdown. Not to mention the method of using maggots to treat suppuration, not to mention that Wang Qisheng was scared enough, even some military doctors who didn't know about it were also bluffed.
Seeing that the rumors were spreading, Lin Asheng ran to report to Wei Ze. Weeser hurriedly gathered the senior generals and held a meeting to report the matter. Others and lower-level soldiers are easy to deal with, but if the senior generals listen to the rumors, it will be difficult to clean up.
The senior generals have all been born and died together for at least half a year, although Wei Ze has a lot of weirdness, if he doesn't learn the knowledge of Professor Wei Ze, he will be beaten with a military stick, but this is all a clear thing, and no one thinks there is anything unseemly. After Lin Asheng personally recounted several cases of maggots treating suppuration, the more superstitious Zhang Yingchen asked, "This is really not using any spell, right?" β
Lin Ah glared at Zhang Yingchen angrily, and said angrily a little angrily: "Nonsense! Definitely not! β
"That's fine!" Zhang Yingchen didn't really believe in what kind of witchcraft this was, but Lin Ah was so sure that his suspicions disappeared.
As soon as he finished unifying his thoughts, Wang Qinian came to see Wei Ze. After Wang Qinian got Wei Zeken and left in a hurry, Zhang Yingchen was unhappy.
Wei Changrong sneered: "What's the use of killing this Wang Qinian?" If someone else knows something inside, I'm afraid that they really think that we have a ghost in our hearts, and kill people! β
"Then let him go like this? If you save them, you will save them in vain? Zhang Yingchen retorted unhappily.
"Wang Qinian also made a lot of efforts to help us play a lot of leaf springs. If it weren't for his brother's trouble, when all the leaf springs were finished, he would have left, and we wouldn't have stopped him. Hu Chenghe replied. The Taiping Army did not force people to join, not only Wei Ze's army did not use coercive means, but also the entire Taiping Army. When going to the people to invite the people to join the Taiping Army, the brothers of the Taiping Army will never sit on the main seat with a big smile, but must let the head of the people's family sit on the main seat, and the brothers will sit in the guest seat, and sincerely invite others to join.
"Then what if this guy goes out to spread rumors?" Zhang Yingchen was a little reluctant.
Hu Chenghe didn't quite understand why Zhang Yingchen was so strong to deal with Wang Qinian, he said: "He and his younger brother went out alive, even if it's nonsense, who do you think will really believe it?" Not only did others not believe it, but if his younger brother said that he had been subjected to a decapitation technique, the other people would dare to beat Wang Qinian's younger brother to death. β
"It's good to really kill you, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to die!" Zhang Yingchen saw that no one understood his hard work, and he finally said: "Wang Qinian helped us build a lot of leaf springs, if he went to make leaf springs for Qing Demon, what would be the result." β
The question was quite acute, and the eyes of the generals of the Taiping army looked at Wei Ze in unison. Weeser wasn't completely unconcerned about technology leaks, but Weeser didn't think the same way as his brothers. Historically, technology proliferation has been inevitable. The flint leaf spring imitated by Wang Qinian was based on the double-barreled handcuff captured from the Manchus in Wei Ze's hand. If the Manchu Qing really wanted to imitate it on a large scale, there was no need for Wang Qinian to run and call at all, and the Manchu Qing had a flint gun in his hand that could be imitated immediately.
"Let him go, and let no one stumble behind his back. If we do something, we will think that we have done something unseemly. Weeser made a decision on the matter.
Looking at the generals' expressions of relief, or uneasy, Wei Ze smiled: "This battle is well fought, I am ready to award the brothers with handcuffs to commend the merits of the brothers!" β
Officers are given handcuffs, which is to cultivate honor. Originally, the best way should be all kinds of swords, but at present, the military industry department does not have the ability to make high-quality swords, and now the troops have captured a lot of single-knife spears, and the brothers in charge of hand-to-hand combat have a single knife on their backs in addition to using spears. The officers all had a single knife that could be used to direct a volley, and the only thing that could show the status of the officer was the handcuff.
Hearing Wei Ze's words, the officers' eyes lit up. The handle handcuff carried by Wei Ze was decorated with beautiful patterns, and the shape was also quite beautiful, with a cowhide holster, inserted in the position behind the right waist, which was indeed enviable. Knowing that he could also get such a handcuff, everyone was naturally happy.
"When will you give the gun?" Zhang Yingchen said happily.
Looking at Zhang Yingchen's anxious appearance, Wei Ze smiled: "The day after tomorrow." Everyone hurriedly recommended the outstanding officers in their own troops, in addition to one person, these excellent officers must also have! Whoever can train the battle column well and bring it well, then give him a gun! We can't let the brothers not know what to climb up in our troops! β
Weese had only one tactic in his troops, one tactic called a shot in line, and all training was aimed at perfecting this tactic. In actual combat, officers should also strive to better use this tactic to win the battle. Naturally, the standard of recognition cannot be anything else, and whoever can implement this tactic well will be rewarded. Gun awarding, promotion, there are clear standards for this in the army.
The generals had begun to ponder, and they were all considering who of their subordinates would be more appropriate to be rewarded. Wang Qinian's matter was quickly thrown aside, and no one remembered it again.
"By the way, there's one more thing I have to do this time!" Weeser said.
The contemplative generals all looked at Wei Ze, waiting for Wei Ze to give him an opportunity.
Since only 13o handcuffs were made, the number of guns awarded was only 13o. The Teaching Brigade took part in the most battles, and they ended up with a share of 1oo. In front of the 5,000 people of the whole army, Wei Ze personally presided over the gun awarding ceremony.
On the high platform, a row of division commanders and brigade commanders with two small cowhide hats like flowers stood with their hands behind their backs, and the soldiers densely lined up below were a feast for the eyes, they really had never seen so many senior officers at the same time. Look at the officers you are familiar with, and the officers you are not familiar with. All the fighters were inexplicably excited.
The loud-voiced master of ceremonies had a loud voice, and the soldiers in the audience could hear it clearly, and the supreme commander of the whole army, Prime Minister Wei Ze, wanted to personally give guns to senior officers. This was a very important ritual, at least in China at this time, which was similar to the level of ancestor worship, and only true family members could observe the ceremony.
The high-ranking generals were given a gun for a short time, which was strange to look at. I heard that the power is no less than that of a rifle, and that it can be achieved with such a short weapon, and the soldiers are naturally envious. However, that was still a matter for senior generals, and it was only when those outstanding middle and low-level soldiers began to be awarded guns that everyone was really excited. These guys were all acquaintances of the group, and they were able to take the short gun from the Prime Minister Wei Ze, which meant that every soldier had the opportunity to get the short gun from Wei Ze himself. The eyes of the officers and soldiers were obviously burning, and although there were also expressions of jealousy and even disdain, the feelings of the whole army were really mobilized.
And the last step is for every soldier to participate in. In the past two days, the unit's already uniform uniforms have been changed, and a new stand-up collar has been sewn on the original collar. The army required every soldier to install this standing collar, because there was no women's battalion in the army, and there was a lack of enough tailors in a county like Yongxing, so the soldiers of the army learned to sew the collar on their own.
And Wei Ze personally awarded a bag of red collar badges to the two Simas, and after the two Simas received the collar badges, they got off the stage and awarded each pair of collar badges to the soldiers. This completely public process thrilled the fighters. Although he did not get the honor of being awarded a collar medal by Wei Ze himself, let that every bag of collar medals was personally awarded by Prime Minister Wei Ze, in a sense, it is equivalent to Wei Ze personally awarding a collar medal to everyone.
Although it was not clear what the collar meant, and even the costume of the opposing collar was not customary, at this moment, every soldier felt that he had a real connection with the supreme commander of the unit.
Involuntarily, applause rang out, and more and more people participated, and the five thousand brothers of Wei Ze's entire army began to participate in this sound.
Weser stepped forward and waved his left arm at the brothers in the audience. Every brother in the audience felt that Wei Ze was waving to him, and the shouting became more and more intense. Until the loud emcees shouted "Be quiet!" Be quiet! The excitement gradually subsided.
Wei Ze fell silent under the stands, he took a deep breath, and shouted to everyone, "Brothers, after wearing this collar badge, others can see at a glance that you are different from others, because you are dressed completely differently from others. But what is the real difference between everyone and others? It's because you're part of our team! Our team has gone from Yong'an to the present, and has won countless battles and killed thousands of Qing demons. Let everyone wear the collar badge today, so that the Qing Demon can see everyone at a glance and remember everyone at a glance. Wearing this collar badge is to let the Qing Demon know who defeated them, and who can let the Qing Demon be killed every time, and the corpses are all over the field. In order to let the Qing Demon see our team, he knows that they will definitely not be our opponents, so he will be terrified first! Therefore, I would like to ask you a word now, are you willing to be like Changshan Zhao Zilong, a winning army that can win every battle! Brothers, do you want to do it or not! β
"Yes! Willing! The old fighters were already shouting.
"Yes! Willing! "Even the soldiers who joined Wei Ze's troops in Daozhou have participated in battles and won battles under the city of Guiyang Prefecture, and they roared along with them.
In such an atmosphere, the warriors who had never fought also shouted, standing with these battle-hardened warriors around them, they also rushed to the strength, and also aroused their feelings, and these warriors also shouted: "Yes! Willing! β
