Chapter 4: Tujia Hakka (4)

"Fourth uncle, is this okay?" Wei Changrong glanced at the brand-new troops, turned around and whispered to Wei Ze.

In the blink of an eye, the team of more than 3ooo people has expanded to nearly 1ooo, and the team composed of purely male fighters is now also composed of both men and women. As for age, from newborn children, to people in their 5o-somethings. The fierce spirit that the original team had cultivated through the battle of blood and fire began to fade in the shouts of children and the cries of babies.

"There are many people, let's get to Wuzhou first." Weeser's voice was also a little stiff in it.

Many literary and artistic figures in the current society have propagated that the modern industrial society is ruthless, and the people living in ancient times, although the productivity is not enough, has more human feelings than modern people. And Wei Ze himself lived in this era that was "full of human touch" in a lot of propaganda, and he understood how warm and affectionate modern society is.

Modern industrial society basically admits that it is no longer involved in the association, and the husband violates the law, and the wife will not be involved as long as she does not participate. Although this is not absolute, all countries will more or less preserve the strain. For example, in the 60s of the 20th century, all industrial countries without exception had the problem of large-scale conjunction. Even in the 21st century, this problem still exists.

A resident of New York, USA, took a video with his mobile phone, and the New York police officers thought that a guy was selling illicit cigarettes, and used a choke technique to put the guy down, and the guy died. Weeser remembers that in most of the posts that ridiculed the United States as a police state, there were also comments: If you look at the United States, at least you can allow bystanders to stand aside and video freely.

The New York City Medical Examiner's Office announced that the forensic results showed that the police's "chokehold" was the main cause of the person's death, and that the police action was ruled "homicide." Three days after the forensic results came out, the guy who shot the video was arrested by the New York police for "possession of a weapon," and two days later, the wife of the guy who shot the video was also arrested on the grounds that the wife of the guy who shot the video "tried to assault the other party during an argument." ”

Are the U.S. police embarrassed by their actions? Of course not! The Patrol Welfare Association, the largest union of the New York Police Department, said in a statement, "Criminals who illegally carry weapons like Mr. XXXX are the biggest beneficiaries of the demonization of the police." ”

It's the second decade of the 21st century, and there is no way to eliminate it. In 1852, there was no need to consider what subjective and objective, intentional or not, the Qing army would discuss with the people. Wei Ze gave the village chief two choices, follow Wei Ze, or stay. The village chief was not hypocritical, and decisively chose the first item. The village was all joined by Weze's forces.

The villagers of Lijia Village all know that more than 2oo Qing soldiers died in the village, if the villagers can't follow Wei Ze, as long as the Qing army goes to Lijia Village, it will be the time when Lijia Village is completely destroyed.

Weeser himself didn't want to take a group of men, women, and children with him, he only wanted young people. In the "cold" modern industrial society, even the elderly, women and children can survive on their own. For a long time, the main force left in the countryside in China were the elderly, women and children, and with the agricultural mechanization equipment of various families, especially with the combine harvester, the strong laborers who went to the south and north to harvest crops every year did not even have to go home during the busy farming season.

But in 1852, especially in Guangxi in 1852. If there were only the elderly, women, and children in a village in Guangxi, the village would face inevitable ruin. Without strong labor, it is impossible to plant good land. If you don't plant good land, that's the result of starvation. This only takes into account the problem of productivity, and a village without strong labor will be subjected to all kinds of looting and trouble.

Of course, Wei Changrong didn't like Wei Ze for bringing so many people, what an army needed was elite soldiers. And not such a huge crowd. He will question Wei Ze, and Wei Ze can only take one step at a time. In such a "warm agricultural era", there is no difference between the strong leaving the weak behind and directly killing the weak.

Weeser had a headache for another matter, how to organize such a group of people. Regarding the policies of the Taiping Army, Wei Ze once felt that it was "inhumane" and "unreasonable". For example, if a man visits a women's camp, it is a decision. Even if the husband and wife meet in private, they have to be killed. In Yong'an City, Hong Xiuquan publicly killed Taiping soldiers who violated discipline more than once.

After Wei Ze personally led all kinds of men, women, and children, reality educated Wei Ze. This kind of sub-camp system may not be a good system, but it is the "least bad" system in the current situation. First of all, if a pregnant woman is carried during the march, the life of the pregnant woman will be extremely dangerous due to the hardships of the march. In these years, there is no birth control, and once there is a couple's behavior, there is a high risk of pregnancy. If you want to avoid pregnant women, then you can't have any "conjugal behavior".

Therefore, Wei Ze could only organize his own troops according to the system of the Taiping Army, and first organized into men's battalions and women's battalions, and the women's battalions established their own officer system. Even if it is his wife, the husband cannot visit his family.

Bring this force to Wuzhou first. That's the only thing Weeser thinks right now.

The unit, which originally had only three pawns, has now been expanded to seven, with women and children in Lijia Village forming a pawn, young and middle-aged men forming a pawn, teenagers forming a pawn, and some "old people" also forming a pawn. The so-called old man, the oldest one is only 61 years old, in such an era of average life expectancy of more than 4o, this is a very old man.

According to the original plan, Wei Ze and the others could walk for three more days to reach the vicinity of Wuzhou, and such a team walked for another five days before arriving near Wuzhou with their baggage.

Hu Chenghe took the lead in going to the vicinity of Wuzhou to inquire about the news, and he soon brought back the information that the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society had begun to besiege Wuzhou, and they invited Wei Ze to meet at the current station of the Heaven and Earth Society.

"Why didn't they come to see us?" Wei Changrong asked.

"Because we don't have food." Hu Chenghe replied very simply. Wei Changrong's words meant that he wanted Heaven and Earth to support the Taiping Army, and Hu Chenghe told Wei Changrong very bluntly, which was impossible. There is no way to survive without food, even if Wei Ze and the others brought a lot of food when they went south, after Lijiacun joined Wei Ze's troops, they also brought all their own food. However, this food was only enough for Wei Ze's thousands of people to eat for more than a month, and if other troops joined the ranks of the Taiping army, the food would not be enough to eat at all.

"Commander Zhang, you go and find a place to stay now. Find a terrain that is closer to the city and easier to defend. Wei Ze ordered. After arriving in Wuzhou, Zhang Yingchen's title was officially promoted to the rank of commander, of course, his official position was still that of marching Sima.

"Checkpoint, what should we do?" Wei Changrong ignored Hu Chenghe, but asked Wei Ze.

Wei Ze replied: "What we have to do is to find a place to live first, and then start training." Now we are just a mixed group of men, women and children, training through guò and forming these people into a regiment. Captain Wei, you have also participated in military training, so you will be in charge of this matter for the time being. Hu and I went to meet the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society. ”

"What can I do in a month?" Wei Changrong asked with a grin.

"Men and women, young and old, have to know one thing through guò training, everyone is part of the Taiping army. They no longer only work for themselves and for their own little families. The current Taiping Army is the home of everyone in the Taiping Army. Weese replied.

After speaking, Wei Ze thought about it and said reluctantly: "You can let Lin Asheng and Ke Gongyu give them a lecture first." ”

What Wei Ze wants to eliminate most in his own troops is the influence of God worship, but now Wei Zexian, what Marxism, **, materialism, this is all false. If the other party can't understand it, then everything is useless and will have a very bad effect. No matter how much Wei Ze hated the worship of God, the common people of Guangxi in 1852 could understand only the propaganda of the worship of God.
