In Jianghua and Yongming, it was not only Wei Ze's troops who expanded their troops, but also Luo Xuan's troops recruited a lot of people. Originally, he had less than 5oo people, but now it has expanded to more than 1,000 people. On August 8, 1852, more than 5,000 people from the two divisions returned to the area of Shuinanmen in Daozhou to join the Taiping army's array. The situation in the whole Daozhou has completely changed.

After staying in Daozhou for almost two months, the main force of the Taiping Army also recruited some of the people of southern Hunan who joined the army, and the combat force increased from nearly 10,000 to more than 12,000. Including the more than 5,000 people who came back, the total number of young people is close to 18,000.

The Qing army was not blind, so more than 5,000 people joined the Taiping Army Brigade, and the Qing troops from all walks of life, which were originally preparing to attack Daozhou, began to turn to the defensive, for fear that they would be suddenly attacked by the main force of the Taiping Army when they rashly marched. This kind of caution just fell into Yang Xiuqing's trap, and in terms of making suspicious soldiers, Yang Xiuqing was much stronger than Wei Ze. Seeing that the movement of troops had frightened the Qing army, Yang Xiuqing ordered all units of the Taiping army to secretly break away from Daozhou on the 1o and march eastward.

At the military meeting, Yang Xiuqing announced the battle plan, and like highlighting Yong'an, he also chose the third watch day during the march. Wei Ze, as a subordinate of Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, was in the second formation of the whole army, and the first formation was Lin Fengxiang, the vanguard officer of Xiao Chaogui.

There is no need to serve Hong Xiuquan in the Chinese army, Wei Ze is indescribably happy in his heart. However, this joy only lasted for a moment, and Hong Xiuquan said: "Prime Minister Wei, I heard that you brought a lot of mules and horses back with a cart. These mule-horse carts were transferred to the Chinese army. ”

"The Chinese army, isn't it the rear army?" Weeser asked tentatively.

"It's to be transferred to the Chinese army." Hong Xiuquan replied with some strangeness.

You're fucking an x! Wei Ze lowered his head and scolded angrily in his heart. Weeser used these mule-horse carts to transport artillery and logistical equipment, and he naturally hoped that he would be able to continue to use them. Of course, on the way back this time, Wei Ze also thought that he was afraid that these mule and horse carts would be taken away. This is also something that can't be helped, mules and horses are the most important means of transportation now, and it is impossible for one of his troops below to monopolize such a good resource.

Since he knew that he could not keep these means of transport, Wei Ze hoped that the mule and horse carts could be used for the rear army. For the Chinese youth in the 21 st century, it is the tradition of New China to give priority to the protection of women, children, and children, and this is where the glory of the great army that created New China lies. If there is anything that can keep Wei Ze from complaining in his heart, it is that only these offerings are used to help the weak.

If it was in the Qing army, Wei Ze would not have proposed such a proposal at all. The feudal system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about naked oppression, and about the strong dedicating themselves to the weak? Wash and sleep, in the Manchu system, the strong are to oppress the weak and devour the weak. Those who do not do this are the ones who are different, and they will be crushed by the Manchu system.

However, Wei Ze still had some expectations for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in any case, this new regime was much stronger than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At the very least, there are a number of similar equality initiatives.

After all, Wei Ze experienced the rainy night of Yong'an, and after being deprived of his coat by Hong Xiuquan, he had no confidence in Hong Xiuquan. But this time Wei Ze still couldn't help it, he continued: "There are many old people and children in the rear army, if you use mules and horses to transport them......

Hong Xiuquan frowned deeply, "The kings' families are all in the Chinese army, and these carriages and horses are not enough to transport them." Where can it be given to the post-military! ”

Wei Ze couldn't help frowning, Wei Ze is a person in the 21st century, and the China he is in has experienced rapid industrialization and has experienced the smashing of the feudal system. It was a time when subordinates served their bosses in the midst of floods, and when they were in the news, they were all dismissed. Even if the remnants of feudalism are flooded again, the privilege does not dare to openly claim that it is right to have privileges.

If Hong Xiuquan was born in Wei Ze's era, he would have gone as far as he could. For such people, Wei Ze really hates it.

Hong Xiuquan is not stupid, Wei Ze's face is ugly, this is not the attitude of his subordinates towards the Heavenly King. There was a chill in his eyes, too.

Wei Ze frowned, and then said with some embarrassment: "The subordinates feel that this rear team moves slowly, if they can let them go faster, our team can also go fast." Isn't that ......?"

"Weese! The king of heaven asked you to hand over the cart of mules and horses, but don't you want to? Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, said in a very stern tone.

"There is absolutely no unwillingness on the part of the subordinates!" Weese replied immediately.

"Since you don't want to, why are you talking so much?" Yang Xiuqing scolded Wei Ze, "You just brought a little mule and horse cart and gave it to the rear team, and the rear team can't get up quickly!" You're so childish! ”

Yang Xiuqing is to Wei Ze under the steps, and there is a completely different concept between childishness and rebellious king. The child is angry, just scold a few words. It is a capital offense to disobey the king. Wei Ze had already changed the direction of his speech, and when Yang Xiuqing gave him a chance, he immediately replied: "My subordinates are wrong!" After a while, the subordinates immediately handed over the mule and horse cart to the Chinese army! ”

Hong Xiuquan listened to Yang Xiuqing's rebuke and Wei Ze's response, he snorted and did not continue to pursue the matter.

When the meeting was dispersed, Hong Xiuquan naturally left the table first. Wei Changhui, the king of the north, said to Wei Ze: "Brother Wei, it would be good if you could get some sedan chairs back when you were in Quanzhou." If you bring some sedan chairs, I'm afraid you can tell the king of heaven and leave some mules and horses for yourself. ”

Wei Ze felt disgusted in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face. Wei Changhui's words were not malicious, but a kind reminder to Wei Ze. After the defeat of the Battle of Lingyidu, the Taiping army left all their baggage and marched into Yongzhou. When Wei Ze recaptured Quanzhou, he saw a lot of sedan chairs captured by the Qing army. Wei Ze himself didn't think about sitting in a sedan chair himself, and the sedan chair didn't help the march, so he didn't take those sedan chairs with him at all when he withdrew his troops.

Wei Changhui meant that Wei Ze also understood that Wei Changhui thought that Wei Ze wanted to leave some mules and horses carts for himself. If Wei Ze could have thought of this earlier, he would have brought back some sedan chairs from Jeonju, which would have made Hong Xiuquan happy. After all, Hong Tianwang is a person who talks about his pomp, on the road from Quanzhou to Yongzhou, there are no sedan chairs, and the 36 wives of Tianwang are afraid that they can't talk about any pomp. In the Chinese army that Wei Ze saw with his own eyes, there were no prominent large number of carriages, horses, and sedan chairs during the Yong'an period. If Wei Ze can make Hong Xiuquan happy, he can easily get Hong Xiuquan's approval if he applies to leave something for himself.

Just knowing this, it has nothing to do with what Weser will do. It's just that Wei Changhui, the king of the north, is also a kind reminder that Wei Ze can't be ignorant. After thanking Wei Changhui, Wei Ze also perfunctory the matter.

When he came out of the council hall, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, walked out side by side with Wei Ze, and saw that there was no one else around. Xiao Chaogui said with a smile: "Brother Wei, the Heavenly King always has to have some pomp. Dongwang said that you are right, you are still childish! ”

Wei Ze was naturally unhappy in his heart, during the Long March, the leaders of the Red Army walked on two legs by themselves, without mules, horses, carts, and sedan chairs. But that unprecedented march in human history finally came out of a team that could change China and shake the world. Wei Ze has seen an interview, Zhang Wentian's wife said that during the Long March, Zhang Wentian was seriously ill, and then the old lady said: "The army asked the man to carry him!" ”

After watching the documentary, Wei Ze knew why Zhang Wentian's wife was not welcomed in the party. There was a fart bearer on the Long March! Those are all revolutionary comrades, Premier Zhou was very grateful to the comrades who took care of him when he was seriously ill, but when this revolutionary comrade came to the mouth of Mrs. Zhang Wentian, he became a "husband".

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Wei Ze couldn't help but be grateful to Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, for his love and care. After all, Wei Ze is just a small prime minister, and if the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan deals with Wei Ze, it will be very easy. Before Wei Ze has the ability to clean up Hong Xiuquan, he has to protect himself first.

Therefore, Wei Ze bowed to Xiao Chaogui, "My subordinates will definitely not embarrass King Xi again." ”

Wei Ze didn't have any good intentions, and he didn't implicate Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, and he was not happy in his heart.

Xiao Chaogui laughed, "Brother Wei! You're childish! ”

No matter how unhappy it is, I need to do my best to leave Daozhou this time. Weeser arranged the troops, and there were special troops who carried artillery. A cannon of several dozen catties is better, and it is enough for four people to carry it. And there are still some cannons of more than 4oo pounds in Wei Ze's troops, and in the long-distance march, 12 people can't carry them. Making tools to carry cannons and arranging manpower is not a trivial matter.

Throughout the 9th and 1o days, all of Weese's energy was spent on preparing for the march. On the evening of the 1o, Lin Fengxiang's vanguard troops came out, and not long after, Wei Ze received a military order to leave. In the dim moonlight, Wei Ze remembered the night when Yong'an was highlighted, it was a night of heavy rain, but when he marched in the mountains, and occasionally when the rain stopped, there was still a faint trace of moonlight among the thinner clouds. Although it was half a year ago at that time, Wei Ze could not forget the faint moonlight.

Retracting this thought, Wei Ze said: "Out! ”

The goal of this march was to first pass the Four Eyes Bridge 4o miles southeast of Guò Daozhou. Then march into Ningyuan. After crossing the Qili River and crossing the Siyan Bridge, it was noon on August 11. Lin Fengxiang in front sent back the news that the Qing army had already defended Ningyuan.

Wei Ze had a cannon with him, but he wanted to just go up and attack Ning Yuan. But soon Yang Xiuqing of the Chinese army gave an order, and the troops did not attack Ningyuan, but went south to Guan and stationed.

As soon as Wei Ze's troops arrived in Xiaguan, they received an order, Lin Fengxiang's troops and Li Kaifang's troops as suspicious soldiers, one made a feint to attack the county seat of Ningyuan County, and the other advanced into the northern border of the Blue Mountains to attack the two local townships, creating the illusion that the Taiping Army was going to attack the Blue Mountains for the Qing army. And Wei Ze's department acted as a vanguard and attacked Jiahe County.

"The East King is stronger than us with soldiers!" Weeser exclaimed in the General Staff.

Everyone in the General Staff also agreed with Wei Ze's point of view, although the main force of the Taiping Army was brave and good at fighting, but such a clean and neat arrangement was indeed remarkable. Xiaguan can lead to several places, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and others can be very effective in laying down suspicious troops and disrupting the pursuing Qing army. If Wei Ze and the others were to command the battle, I am afraid that the first thing to consider would be how to annihilate the Qing army in one fell swoop, and then march calmly. There is indeed a considerable gap between the two sides in terms of the level of sports warfare.

The General Staff Department has a War History Section, which is one of the most important departments of the General Staff. All battles should be recorded, and when there is a summary. It is also necessary to organize the text for future discussions. This use of troops can undoubtedly be said to be a very important combat record in Weeser's General Staff.

There were good preparations for suspicious soldiers, and Wei Ze's advance was stress-free, except for more than 30 Qing troops on the road to resist at the Yuantang Pass, the rest of the battle could only be called an armed march. The Qing army cut off the head of the general Wang Wannian and took it away, and the corpses of other Qing soldiers were stripped of the naked strips and thrown into the mountain stream.

Wei Ze captured the undefended Jiahe County on the 13th. Then an order was given, and the troops went on the offensive and took Gyeyang Prefecture. In the singing and dancing of the local people, Wei Ze once again entered the undefended Guiyang Prefecture. It is said that Li Qizhao, the governor of Guiyang Prefecture, learned that the Taiping army was attacking, and he was so frightened that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water!

Within three days, the Taiping army had taken two cities, and the road to attack Chenzhou had been opened.
