Chapter 6: Weese (6)
In the grain transportation team of the Qing army, Colondo looked at the robbers hidden in the mountains and forests with a gloomy face. There are many people in the world who can speak official language, but hearing the scolding full of Beijing flavor in the poor mountains and remote areas of Guangxi is greatly beyond the imagination of the imperial guards. Although the distance is long, the human voice is relatively noisy, and it is difficult to hear clearly. But there is a sound there, and there is a special curse word, and the guards who have been away from the capital for a long time will definitely not mishear this kind country sound. Who is this group of people with strange types and Beijing accents? Colondo couldn't figure it out.
It's just that there's no way to discuss this matter at this time. Of the 150 people who came out of the previous 150 people, there are less than 60 people left who can still be assembled. Some of the Qing troops fled into the dense forests on both sides of the pipeline, and they would probably gather after a while. Cologdo estimated that this part of the Qing army would be able to return a dozen at most. Nearly half of the entire grain team was killed, and none of the rebels were killed, recalling the ferocity of the rebels he saw in battle, especially the bravery of the young man who rushed to the front, Corondo couldn't help but be a little stunned.
If the number of rebels is not twenty, but forty or even sixty. The food team, including Cologdo and other imperial guards, was afraid that none of them would be able to escape their lives today. Colondo can also be regarded as a bold and bold person, thinking of this, Colondo suddenly had a killing intent in his heart, he turned to the general of the green battalion Liu who commanded the escort team, and ordered loudly: "Send someone to chase after you now!" We must not let go of these traitors! ”
After listening to Cologdo's order, Liu Jiang, the general of the green battalion who escaped by luck, said with a pale face, "My lord, we were ordered to escort grain and grass, and at this time we have fought bravely to kill the enemy and repel the enemy army. Let's quickly gather the horse team, defend carefully, and ask for help to answer at the same time! If these thieves want to attack the west, sending troops over is just falling for their tricks. "General Liu is also a guy with command ability, but he has never seen such a brave enemy, and he has no courage to continue chasing.
"Fight to kill the enemy?" Colondo almost lost his breath when he heard this. This is being killed by the enemy, right? After the battle, in addition to failing to kill any of the thieves who blocked the road and robbed, the grain team killed and injured at least 60 people. If it weren't for the fact that Colondo sent other imperial guards and personal soldiers to resist at the critical moment, I am afraid that the grain transportation team would have been completely defeated at this time.
"My lord, it was you who fought bravely with your humble duties." Mr. Liu immediately corrected his inappropriate remarks.
Colondo glared at the boss viciously, "Those traitors are carrying a lot of things, where can they run at this time." If you don't chase them now, are you going to connive at them to escape? ”
Even though he was very respectful to Cologdo, the general plucked up the courage to retort: "My lord, I am ordered to escort the military rations. When encountering a traitor robbing military rations, he naturally had to fight bravely...... Fight the enemy. But this traitor has fled, and if he pursues him, he has mistakenly fallen into the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. That humble position will be impossible to redeem! ”
Colondo was about to say something more, but he heard the injured imperial guard Wang Feixiong speak, "Brother Corondo, let's stop chasing it yet. Don't mind what those bunnies are really up to! Wang Feixiong did not pull out the spear that pierced his shoulder, and his expression was quite painful at this time.
With his own brothers persuading him, Colondo recalled Fang Cai's fight, and also felt that it would be in vain to send this group of frightened green battalion soldiers to chase after him. Despite his anger, Corondo finally said, "So be it." Quickly gather the team, and then send someone to deliver a letter to the front pass, asking them to send troops to pick it up. In addition, Brother Wang, bear with me, I'll help you take out the gun head now! ”
Seeing that the imperial guards did not insist, Liu put a big stone in his heart. Originally, he still thought that if Colondo insisted on pursuing again, he would definitely forcibly refuse as the commander of the food team. Although the imperial guards were people close to the emperor, they could not directly command the grain transportation team. Chasing and robbing thieves is not a matter of escort in the first place. If something happens to the military rations, the commander of the Beida Battalion, the former Guangxi Governor Xiang Rong, who has been reinstated, may not dare to kill the imperial guards, but he will definitely dare to kill the commander of the grain transportation team.
"What a good knife!" Wei Ze used a white cloth to carefully apply the grease that stuck to the single knife evenly near the blade. This was a single knife snatched from the yellow coat, and the yellow jacket used this single knife to cut off the spear thrown by Wei Changrong, and Wei Ze noticed the knife at that time. I used this knife to cut bacon, and it felt like cutting rubber. It takes a little force, but it can be cut with a lot of precision.
Wei Changrong, who was beside Wei Ze, didn't pay attention to the quality of the knife at all, and everyone ran away from the preset retreat camp with their things, and they couldn't run anymore. Everyone has been tired of this battle for a long time. Running away strongly, his body is exhausted. Regardless of whether there was anyone chasing after them, the brothers immediately staggered down and lay down on the prepared grass and couldn't move.
And Wei Ze was still the same as usual, although he was tired, he held on to the fire. At this time, the brother Qing army behind the palace did not chase after him, and Wei Ze began to cut bacon. These bacon are all made of fat pork legs, and Wei Changrong burst out with amazing potential, and he carried four fat pork legs by himself.
Seeing that Wei Ze began to cut meat, the brothers also took out bamboo tubes one after another, put the bacon slices cut by Wei Ze into the bamboo tube, and happily tied the bamboo tubes with long grass and put them next to the fire. Life is difficult in these years, and if the main dish in many families is bacon, it means that it is a good year. This time there was a great victory, and everyone was naturally overjoyed, and among the seized items was bacon, and the brothers were even more happy. Smelling the rich fragrance gradually emanating from the bamboo tube, many brothers had already revealed a splash on their mouths. Even Wei Ze, who began to study the double-barreled handcuff after maintaining the single knife, couldn't help but take a few more glances at the fire.
But Wei Ze didn't care too much about eating meat, he put away the single knife that had been maintained, and pulled out the captured double-barreled handcuffs. This double-barreled handcuff is not an arquebus, but a flint. Relying on the leaf spring fire, as long as the gunpowder and bullets are loaded, you can shoot at any time, which is much stronger than the arquebus. The seizure of this single knife naturally made Wei Ze overjoyed, and the double-barreled flint gun decorated with exquisite patterns was Wei Ze's capital to save his life.
If he could replace all the arquebuses equipped by the Taiping army with flint muskets, plus bayonets, Wei Ze was fully confident that he could easily defeat any Qing army of this era. Just when Wei Ze's thoughts were on these future military considerations, he heard Zhang Yingchen say respectfully: "Wei Sima, can you have a meal?" ”
"Oh! Dine! Dine!! Weeser replied immediately. As soon as the words ended, a cheer immediately rang out among the troops.
Wei Changrong anxiously untied the long grass tied to the bamboo tube, picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. The bacon was a little hot, and Wei Changrong couldn't help but breathe in the cold. But he only took a few breaths of cool air before he began to chew heavily. No one laughed at Wei Changrong, everyone was as impatient as Wei Changrong was eating bacon, and they also slammed the meaty beans and rice into their mouths.
After gobbling up the meal, Wei Changrong sighed comfortably, "If there is wine, it will be even better!" ”
This sentence was immediately agreed by most of the brothers, and everyone responded one after another: "Yes! It's good to have wine! ”
Then a brother said regretfully: "It's a pity that the Qing army didn't transport wine this time, otherwise we would have grabbed some back." ”
Wei Ze didn't gobble up like his brothers, and when he heard this, he smiled: "Not this time, but not next time." The New Year is coming soon, and the leader of the Qing Demon will definitely reward the people below, and this wine will naturally not be less. I can't wait for next time."
"Oh? Shall we ambush again? "The brothers came to the spirit at that time.
Wei Ze shook his head, "First send the seized salt and gunpowder back to Yong'an." These things are lacking in the city. We can't just eat here, our family doesn't have salt to eat in Yong'an! ”
Listening to Wei Ze talk about his family in Yong'an City, the originally lively atmosphere became a little duller, and many brothers stopped their chopsticks.
Zhang Yingchen is a small leader of the Tiandi Society of Yong'an City, and he joined the Taiping Army after the Taiping Army captured Yong'an. These days, he knows a lot about the Taiping Army, and Wei Ze and other "old soldiers" have joined the God Worship Sect. Whoever wants to join the Worship of God must first offer all his possessions to the Worship of God. Through guò offerings to family property, worship of God in order to determine whether these people are loyal to the worship of God. In order to prove themselves, most of the converts even sold their land.
After the loyalty check, the whole family of these disciples joined the Taiping Army. In other words, all the qiē owned by the disciples belonged to the Taiping Army, and if they left the Taiping Army now, they would not even have a home to go back to.
Now that the families of the Taiping Army are in Yong'an City, Zhang Yingchen can understand why when Wei Ze mentions his family in Yong'an, the soldiers of the old Taiping Army will behave like this. The brothers seized bacon and salt, and ate happily at this time. However, the brothers' families can only eat "light food" in Yong'an, living a life without salt and vegetables. At this time, if you can still eat happily by yourself, it can only be said that the person's conscience has been extinguished.
So Zhang Yingchen hurriedly said: "Brothers, let's hurry up and transport these seizures back to Yong'an, and our family will naturally be able to eat salt." With Wei Sima here, let's fight the Qing Demon Grain Transport Team again, and we will no longer be afraid of running out of salt to eat! ”
"Yes! Follow my fourth uncle, there is still no Qing demon that can't be defeated. After everyone finished eating, they quickly rested, and hurried back early tomorrow morning. Wei Changrong also encouraged.
The brothers of the Taiping Army were not only fighting for the Taiping Army, but also for themselves and their families. As soon as I heard that I could continue to fight after returning to Yong'an, and everyone was able to fight smoothly this time, everyone recovered their spirits again.
"I'll fight with Wei Sima!"
"With Wei Sima with us, none of us are afraid!"
The brothers have expressed their positions.
Zhang Yingchen listened to these words, and his heart was quite excited. He also had the same mood, Wei Ze's bravery on the battlefield made Zhang Yingchen no longer have any doubts about Wei Ze. Moreover, Zhang Yingchen's family is also in Yong'an City, Wei Ze can take his brothers to win a few more battles, and Zhang Yingchen's family can naturally eat more salt. If everyone can harass the grain route of the Qing army under the leadership of Wei Ze, the possibility of the Qing army breaking through Yong'an will be greatly reduced.
Wei Ze naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and he said loudly: "Brothers, the top priority at the moment is to hurry up and transport things back to Yong'an. As for the merits of the brothers, I will naturally take note of them. The king of the east has issued an order, our Taiping army will reward meritorious deeds, reward those who have merit, and punish those who have done wrong. Since my brothers have made great contributions, I will never bury the merits of my brothers. When everyone returns to Yong'an, I will naturally report to the king of the east. Although I can't boast to my brothers, this time I tried to get all of them promoted to the rank of captain. ”
Hearing that he could be promoted, everyone cheered.
Wei Ze immediately suppressed the momentum of the brothers' cheers, "Brothers, let's talk in the head, since we robbed the Qing Demon's grain transport team this time, we are afraid that we will immediately send troops after returning to Yong'an, if the brothers are not promoted this time, everyone can't have anything else to think about." If I promote my brothers, I have to say first that I use soldiers to talk about whether I can do things. When I became the commander of the army, the rations and salaries that were distributed should naturally be given, but in my case, the commander of the army may not command four people. It's not that I don't let my brothers be officials, it's that if I don't fight well, my life will be gone! The life is gone, and the official has a bird to use! ”
"All of them are subject to Wei Sima's arrangement!" The excited fighters replied almost in unison.
