Chapter 7 Thirteen Shake Yellows

Zhu Dashan decided to dispose of these Manchurian soldiers, so he called someone to inform Gou Xingwang and Zhou Dazhu. After choosing a good person, they waited in front of the county office. When Zhu Dashan and Huang Boyuan led people to escort 100 Qing soldiers and 50 Qin messenger honor guards to the county office, Gou Xingwang and Zhou Dazhu had already selected their own personnel and divided them into two teams to stand. There were still more than 20 people standing there in the middle, and Zhu Dashan asked these 20 people to come over to help together, and detain the Qincha honor guard and the Qing soldiers separately.

Zhu Dashan said to those honor guards: "You have a chance to live now, as long as each of you kills a Qing soldier, I will surround your life." These people were happy to hear that they could survive, but when they heard the conditions that each of them had to kill a Qing soldier, their faces turned pale with fright. These honor guards came out of the capital, and the Manchurian uncle was high in the capital. Now let them kill these Manchurian soldiers, the long-term servile rule makes them afraid from the bottom of their hearts. No matter what happened, he couldn't resist at all, just kept asking for mercy.

Zhu Dashan also ignored these people's begs for mercy, and asked people to bring knives and throw them at their feet. Then they were forced to kill the Qing soldiers, but no matter how the people in the Restoration Camp scolded and whipped, no one dared to go up and do it.

Zhu Dashan saw that no one had made a move, and looked at these honor guards who did not dare to resist in the slightest. I really don't understand, the Qing soldiers in front of them are all tied up and sturdy and can't move at all, why don't these people dare to do it?

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that these people dare not resist. Mainly after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the Beijing division was the center of power, also known as the foot of the imperial city. The rule of the Qing court must have been the most tight, and the Qing soldiers had been constantly invading Gyeonggi since the Chongzhen period, and the number of people who had been slaughtered and plundered was unknown. Later, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and slaughtered all the way, and after the occupation of the Beijing Division, there was a horse race, shaving hair and changing clothes, and any of the methods of escaping were all bloody. Therefore, everyone who dared to resist was killed, and the rest had no backbone. Moreover, under the reign of terror of the Qing court, servility has long been entrenched, and it is not possible to change it overnight.

Zhu Dashan originally wanted to absorb these fifty people, but now he was disappointed to see their performance. said loudly: "Let them be divided into two teams and line up, Gou Xingwang, Zhou Dazhu, you two take your people, and each take a team of people." Each person has ten counts, and if they don't do it, they just cut it. Your men are also to be imprisoned in turns, and try to put those who have never seen blood and the recruits to prison. "Zhu Dashan is going to use this opportunity to let the people in the Restoration Camp see blood, after all, there are no more than 30 people in the Restoration Camp who have seen blood. What can such a team pull out, Zhu Dashan has no bottom in his heart.

Zhu Dashan looked at the chaotic scene in front of the county government, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see that there was an army. The honor guards did not dare to resist the Qing soldiers and only begged for mercy, and most of the people in the Restoration Camp were new soldiers, so it was okay to let them drive people away and whip them down. Now the honor guards are asking them to kill people if they can't do it, and many recruits themselves are scared and weak, and then the newly appointed officials beat and scolded the recruits again.

Zhu Dashan looked at all this in front of him and knew that he was in a hurry now. But there is no way, the Qing soldiers may counterattack at any time, and the army cannot form combat effectiveness. Zhu Dashan didn't know how many days he would live. Fortunately, under the scolding of their superiors, those recruits trembled and picked up their knives to kill the honor guards who did not dare to come forward. The recruits gradually overcame their fears and raised their knives to slash and kill the honor guards who did not dare to do so. After sixteen people were killed, there was finally an honor guard who dared to use a knife against the Qing soldiers. If you don't do it, you have to show up directly to be killed, and some people still choose to resist. Someone took the lead, and others gradually let go of the burden of their hearts, and saw that the Qing soldiers were easily killed under the knife. There were more and more hands, and in the end, thirty people killed the Qing soldiers and were pulled aside. Zhu Dashan asked other recruits who had not seen blood to come up, and the two of them killed a Qing soldier in a team. These are the real Manchurian cavalry, and only by breaking the undefeated Manchurian soldiers and the fierce image they have always left behind can these recruits really grow up.

Ever since Zhu Dashan announced that he would let people come up and kill the Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers have cursed and refused. These Qing soldiers were cavalrymen of the Yellow Banner, and many of the people they came into contact with in the capital were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, so many people could speak Chinese, so Zhu Dashan gave the order, and many people listened to it clearly. These Qing soldiers were all directly led by the emperor, and they were all masters who walked sideways in the capital. Now I don't care about the ways of these untouchables, and I have to prepare for the slaughter one by one. These Qing soldiers were full of righteous indignation, and they had a loud voice, pouring out all the scolding words they had learned in the capital for more than ten years.

Seeing that thirty of his companions had been killed, the others were also a little worried. The soft bones are not unique to the Han people, and now they are going to be killed one by one. Some of the older Qing soldiers who had been on the battlefield were so fearless that they knew that they were going to die, but they quieted down. Only some young soldiers in their twenties kept crying, most of these young soldiers were raised in the Taiping nest after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and they were usually pampered and habitual. The veteran next to him saw it and scolded: "Songgeri, shut up for me, we are noble Manchurian soldiers, and now we are just dying, how can we let these lowly men and dogs despise us." When our Qing army comes to quell the chaos, they will all die, and when the time comes, they will all be chopped up and fed to the dogs. ”

The two young cavalrymen who were shouted their names were drunk by this, and they suddenly didn't dare to cry out loud, and there were a dozen or so people next to them who were not as loud as before. Seeing this, Zhu Dashan's heart moved, and he asked these fifteen young people to be escorted out alone, and then asked the recruits who started behind him to go to them, so that they could see clearly. In this way, these fifteen Qing soldiers were even more frightened, and they were busy closing their eyes and not daring to look directly whenever they moved, but they were whipped by the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion to open their eyes. You say how bad this Zhu Dashan is now, so that the recruits will stop as long as they find these Qing soldiers and close their eyes. In this way, the Qing soldiers who were killed did not lose their breath for a while, and the screaming was miserable. There was a howl in front of the entire yamen, and some recruits were not decisive, and people were too frightened to do anything without killing themselves. These Qing soldiers couldn't die again, and suddenly there was a wail in front of the yamen.

After the recruits had all moved, Zhu Dashan asked people to go up to clean up and knot those who had not lost their breath. Zhu Dashan still feels that his stomach is turned upside down, and he can't help it. Busy let Gou Xingwang and Zhou Dazhu take people away. I was frightened by the tragedy of the scene just now, and now as soon as I leave, many people can't help but vomit. As a result, at this time, Old Man Wang sent someone to say that the meal was ready, and asked everyone to start the meal. As a result, no one ate the first meal of the army, the last meal before the separate meal. Old man Wang was furious and asked all the men of the general banner to pack the food back as dinner.

In the afternoon, Zhu Dashan went to the school to see how everyone was training. It turned out that the generals arranged by the Fuming Battalion would not be able to train soldiers. Only Zhou Dazhu is a military household, but he has no suggestions for military training. Zhu Dashan had no choice but to call Hu Jijiang to go up first. Although Hu Jijiang was not proficient in military training, under his guidance, he finally stood up in the queue. At least it doesn't look like it's a mess.

Zhu Dashan also took the twenty people who guarded the prison before, Gou Xingwang and the remaining twenty-eight people, the twenty people who Huang Boyuan used to recruit troops, the ten people who cooked with Old Man Wang before, and the five people from the grain depot A total of eighty-three people gathered together for Lin Zhuang to train. The thirty honor guards who had killed the Qing soldiers were all scattered and distributed to each general flag, and all the adults were transferred to Zhu Dashan, how could Lin Zhuang have one hundred and thirteen people in his hands.

Zhu Dashan asked Lin Zhuang to select the strong eighty people as his guards, and these people were also responsible for training archery and passing orders. The remaining thirty-three people were led by Old Man Wang, and ten people were divided into men, and the other twenty-three people were heavy soldiers.

Then Zhu Dashan asked Lin Zhuang County to send spies in the direction of Baoning Mansion to inquire about the situation of Baoning Mansion's troops.

After a few days of investigation, there is no way to send troops to Boryeong Province. Zhu Dashan couldn't help but be curious, so he had to boldly ask Lin Zhuang to send someone to the city of Baoning Mansion to investigate. The day after the spies were dispatched, Zhu Dashan was checking the topographic map of the southern county.

At this time, Huang Boyuan, who had been in charge of grain and grass, came to report and said: "There is not much grain in the grain warehouse, and the current grain can be eaten by everyone for five days at most." Zhu Dashan was shocked: "I went to see when we occupied the granary before, how can that grain be enough for us to eat for a month!" Why is it gone? Huang Boyuan said: "Originally, it was enough, at that time we were only one hundred and fifty people, and now we are almost three hundred and fifty people, and we have more than 100 horses from the Qing soldiers." I said that I could eat for five days or I was going to reduce the amount of food I fed to the horses, or three days at most.

Zhu Dashan frowned and said, "I remember that before we were arrested and brought to the county seat, everyone was farming. Either send someone to harvest it back, as well as the catch that was sent down before, the grain collected by the servants should also be delivered. Let people take it back, so that it can be held for a while. Huang Boyuan said: "It's only like this, but this is not a way, I don't know when Baoning Mansion will send troops over, if there are more soldiers and horses, we will not be trapped in the county seat if we besiege the city." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Let's do this first, I'll figure it out!" Based on the information I have found in the past few days, I have checked the terrain around the southern county and feel that we cannot only garrison the county seat. Huang Boyuan was about to speak, but he heard Hu Jijiang say from the outside: "I wanted to remind you a long time ago, but I saw that you have been busy exploring the military situation in the direction of Baoning in the past two days, so I didn't say anything." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Oh! Then Master Hu said, what should we do now? Hu Jijiang came over and sat down and said: "There are Hexi Pass and Nanjin Pass in the north of Nanfang County. These two passes are the only way to go to Baoning Mansion in the south, but because northern Sichuan has always been under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, these two passes are not very dangerous and unimportant, so only a few dozen soldiers are stationed, if we can take these two passes, then our north gate will be guaranteed. And we're pretty sure we're going to take it. ”

Zhu Dashan nodded and said, "If there are only a few dozen soldiers, it's no problem." However, the southern county is an easy place to attack and difficult to defend, and although there are many mountains, there is no danger. It doesn't make much sense for us to only defend the north side. Huang Boyuan also said: "Yes, if the Qing soldiers attack from other directions, we will definitely not be able to hold it." Hu Jijiang said: "The south is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but some places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Is there such a place around here?" Hu Jijiang said: "Yes, we went out of the south to the west, passed through Yilong and then passed through the big and small Peng Mountains into Kuizhou Mansion, where the terrain is mountainous and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And I heard that there are still more than 100,000 troops of the Ming army there, and everyone will serve the banner of the Ming Dynasty at that time. The anti-clearing pressure is also less. Huang Boyuan thought for a while and said: "Yes, there are the thirteen Huang Shakers of Hao Shaoqi and others, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is also suitable for our temporary development." ”

Zhu Dashan was puzzled: "Shake the Yellow Thirteen Family? Who is that? Haven't heard of it before. Hu Jijiang explained: "This Shake Huang Thirteen Families was originally the remnant of Zhang Xianzhong, and after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he accepted the recruitment of Wen Anzhi, the governor sent to Sichuan by Emperor Yongli, and became the anti-Qing force of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan. They are divided into thirteen leaders and commanders, but they are mainly based on Hao Shaoqi and Huanglong, so they are also called the Thirteen Families of Shaohuang. ”

Zhu Dashan also remembered at this time that when he came to Sichuan from Huguang in the past, he met the Ming army in Kuizhou Mansion, but at that time he wanted to come to Sichuan to farm. But now I have to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore my sight. So Zhu Dashan decided: "Okay, let's leave Kuizhou Mansion tomorrow, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu has finally found an organization." Huang Boyuan and Hu Jijiang suddenly heard what Zhu Dashan said, and looked at Zhu Dashan a little strangely. Zhu Dashan also explained, and then asked everyone to prepare.

Wait until the news is announced. For a while, there were cries and shouts everywhere in the county, after all, I finally settled down and now I have to move out. The locals are more or less unwilling.

But before he could reach the evening, Zhu Dashan changed his mind.
