Chapter 389: The Great Sage Mountain

Guangxi, Hengzhou, Dasheng Mountain, the terrain of the entire Hengzhou is surrounded by mountains, the middle is flat, and the Yujiang River cuts Hengzhou in half from west to east.

In the plain area in the middle, there are abundant water sources and have always had fertile fields, and the high mountains of Hengzhou Siye have been inhabited by thieves since ancient times.

Not only because the mountains and forests here are dense and hidden, but also because the plain area in the middle is rich, as long as you grab a handful, you can live a comfortable life for a while.

Therefore, in the past few decades, under the background of the Turkish and guest fights, Hengzhou has to make some chaos every once in a while.

The range that the governor of Hengzhou and the attached Yongchun County can control, that is, a few miles to the left of the state city, out of here, is the Tuda family who occupies the fertile land, and the Hakka people squatting on the mountain have the final say.

Su Sanniang, the heroine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period in history, was the king of the mountain here, and her husband Su Sanxiang should have begun to babble.

In the past ten years, around the fertile fields of Hengzhou, the first Tu people and the later Hakka people have fought dozens of vicious battles here.

In the 44th year of Qianlong, during a large-scale Tuke armed battle, the Hakka people in Hengzhou even besieged the city of Hengzhou, and finally the Qing court had to transfer the governor of Liangguang from Zhaoqing to suppress it.

Tuke Weapon Fight, this historical event that runs through most of the Qing Dynasty, in later generations, seems to be a small, almost forgotten little thing, but it is really not 'small'!

From the Yongzheng period to the Republic of China, in more than 100 years, at least five or six million people lost their lives in the arms fighting between the two Guangzhou, and the tail tide of the weapon fighting even continued after the liberation.

In the Red Turban Army uprising in the eighth year of Xianfeng, the two sides used the red-haired guns bought from Hong Kong to shoot at each other, and the corpses were all over the field, and the Manchu green battalion did not dare to show their heads at all.

In the later stage of the fight, the wealthy businessman Tan Youping even invited Taixi instructors from Hong Kong to train the native soldiers, and the two sides fought a bloody battle in the border area of Enping and Xinning in Guangdong for ten days, and in these ten days alone, more than 4,000 Tuke strong men were killed in the battle.

The two sides have been fighting each other for 14 years, resulting in the destruction of more than 3,000 villages in the Pearl River Delta region, and the casualties of more than 2 million Turkish and Hakka sides, including the officers and soldiers who were swept up.

What kind of involution, this special thing is a cruel involution! For the sake of a sloping land, it is often necessary to recover a few lives, no way, there are many people and few places, everyone wants to live!

Therefore, it is difficult to say that the Northern Expedition to the Manchus is difficult to say, and it is simple to say, so simple that as long as you can organize the local guests of Liangguang, they alone can overturn the Manchus!

And for the people here in Hengzhou at present, whether he is a native or a Hakka, the situation is similar, and the fighting between the Turks and Hakka is not only a fight, but also fighting for every chance to survive.

Under the pressure of a long time, everyone here has developed a fighting skill and a beast-like intuition.

Even if it is still the Qianlong period, it is not a fight with a hoe and a flat pole, and the two sides use machetes, spears, arquebuses, and even tiger squat cannons and other weapons.

These weapons were all from the Tusi family who had gone out of Bagui to the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Japanese invaders, and these Tusi wolf soldiers had fought side by side with the Qi family army, and even Qi Jiguang praised their bravery.

After the wolf soldiers returned to Guangxi, they passed down the tactics they learned from the Qi family army from generation to generation, which led to the fact that in Guangxi, even the old men in the field knew what it meant to fight in formation, how to kill people faster, and how to cast arquebuses!

And this weapon fight is not a fight between the local natives and the local Hakka people, because the natives and the Hakka people have their own organizations, once the fight starts, it will be a big fight of soil and guests gathered in all directions!

There was once a record of Hakka people in the Pearl River Delta organizing and going north to Quanzhou in northern Guizhou to participate in the fight.

So in Guangxi now, the Tuke weapon fight is not a brawl, it is really a battle!

It is because of the fierce customs of the people in Guangxi, among the 10,000 people that Sun Shiyi brought to Annan a few years ago, they also specially recruited Tianzhou Tusi Cen Yidong, the descendant of Mrs. Wa, to lead thousands of troops to go with him.

Moreover, in addition to the large scale of the Tuke weapon fight, it is also very cruel, and the outcome of the loser is almost the death of the whole family and the whole clan!

At that time, it was written, 'When the drums shook the sky, the men put their swords and spears to fight in the wilderness, the women struck each other in the ditch with their tools, and the old boy threw stones to help!' ’

In other words, the whole family goes to the battlefield together, the adult men fight in formation, the strong women also fight each other with hoes, dung forks and other farm tools in the ravines, and children and the elderly will also occupy the height and throw stones to help!

It is not difficult to understand why the combat effectiveness of the old brothers in Guangxi was so exaggerated during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period!

Who stays in such a place where the whole family has to go to war together for a dozen or even decades, and there is anyone who can't fight?

Even those barefoot Hakka women in Guangxi, the green battalion soldiers who can kill on the battlefield cry and shout.

However, in the past two years, the life in Hengzhou has been much better, and the Tuke weapon fight has not happened for a long time.

Because most of the Hakka people near Hengzhou were recruited to Jiaozhi by the Song King of Jiaozhi, who was also a Hakka.

It is said that those Hakka people who have arrived in Jiaozhi can each get 20 acres of land, and they have already enjoyed it, and with such a good place, of course, they will not stay in Hengzhou.

It's just that what they don't know is that not all the Hakka people have gone to Jiaozhi, and King Ye's land is not so easy to take, and if they want to get twenty acres of land for one person and go to Jiaozhi to enjoy happiness, there is a price.

This price is that each family must have a man who can fight the most to stay in Hengzhou, and some people stay in Hengzhou, so that the rest of the family can go to Jiaozhi to enjoy happiness and eat white rice.

No, Master Ma, who has been renamed Ma Xinghan, is sitting upright in the Juyi Hall on the Great Sage Mountain, and Master Ma, who was originally just a soldier on his lips, has now become a person who really knows soldiers.

Not only did he know how to lead soldiers, but he also knew how to turn ordinary peasants into elite soldiers, and he could even fight in person.

He has a nickname called Ma Wangye, not referring to his majesty, but to his accurate marksmanship, as if he has three eyes, pointing where to hit, saying that if you hit your left ear, at least you can hit your forehead.

Just outside the Justice Hall, 800 men were training in full swing, and although it was hot, these men were still wearing military uniforms and helmets according to the rules.

Except for the two hundred firecrackers who could wear cooler clothes, the remaining six hundred hand-to-hand combat soldiers were all wearing chain mail and iron flying saucer helmets inlaid with a whole piece of steel, all of which were indispensable.

Master Ma looked at these eight hundred elites, and brushed up the beard on his chin with satisfaction, these elite soldiers trained by Hakka strong men can really fight, according to the standards of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all of them are warriors who capture tigers and shoot bears.

And these 800 people, all have family members in Jiaozhi, which is equivalent to everyone has a handle in the hands of Master Ma, if they dare to disobey orders or even defect, their families in Jiaozhi will lose everything.

So defection or something, these Hakka Ding Zhuang absolutely can't afford it, not to mention anything else, losing the land of Jiaozhi, how about not using Ye Kai, just the level of relatives, you can't pass it.

Master Ma estimated that even these 800 people, 3,000 people from the Manchu Green Camp might not have been able to fight!

It's just that... Master Ma couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, it was just some other people under his management, which made Master Ma extremely headache.

Bandits, profiteers, river bandits, gangsters, oblique gangsters, black-hearted mine owners, broken toast children, and even some speculative country tyrants.

The bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in Guangxi are basically under the control of Master Ma now, uniting all the forces that can be united, this is what King Ming said, so all the bold guys in Guangxi Province have basically been recruited.

"King Ming has a will!" A Jiaozhi eunuch wearing a five-grade eunuch uniform shouted in a slightly sharp and somewhat crappy Guangzhou official dialect.

The guys who were bragging and farting each other in the righteous hall and pretending to be big brothers quickly closed their mouths.

These guys are all wearing brand new official uniforms, of course, not Manchu official uniforms, but Ming official uniforms, which are basically military attache uniforms, and the grade is not high, most of them are some eight or nine grade inspections.

But even so, these guys who couldn't mix up in official uniforms in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still extremely cherished, although they couldn't wear them outside now, and they couldn't take their clothes with them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to give them a good time, draw a big pie, and inspire people's hearts.

Seeing that the king of Ming had sent a eunuch to deliver the decree, a group of people began to squeeze me, I squeezed you, and began to kneel down to listen to the decree.

There are also a variety of kneeling postures, some of which start prostrating directly, and some of which are kneeling but still sitting on their heels.

There was even a brain Watt flicked his sleeves and made a gesture to hit a thousand, but fortunately, the person next to him kicked him over directly, so as to avoid the strange incident of wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty and performing the Manchurian salute.

However, although the scene was chaotic, Master Ma and the eunuch holding the edict were not surprised!

Speaking of eunuchs, Ye Kai really didn't plan to use them, but later he had to recall a group of young eunuchs from Yixin University.

That's because in the eyes of this bull ghost and snake god on the Great Holy Mountain, you can't even afford to be a eunuch, what kind of king is it? Who knows if you're really going to make it? It's too handy!

In order not to be despised by this group of dirt buns, Ye Kai had no choice but to rebuild a small-scale eunuch organization, which was specially used to pass orders and beep for them!
