A gust of wind blew over the head of Lijiabao City, Cao Kezhong's face was fluttering, and his beard followed, Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin, Zhang Hua, these good brothers are all members of the Elders' Association, with the purpose of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, they joined the ranks of the Hui uprising, called on many Han people to join the anti-Qing and Ming restoration, but they ran into walls everywhere, and the Han villages did not welcome them, from more than 400 people at the time of the uprising to more than 2,000 people now, it seems that the team has increased a lot, but most of them are homeless people, and the weapons and ammunition are insufficient, and the vast majority of people use big knives and spears

The Elders' Association is mainly in the form of 'opening up the mountain' and 'visiting and forming alliances', and the gentry and the rich people in the streets have joined in and controlled one place, and no one else is allowed to get involved

The Elders' Association is evolved from the Heaven and Earth Society, the Renyi Society and the Jianghu Society, and the Elder Association is a secret folk association, although it has a long history of struggle, but in the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called the Jianghu Society, and during the Jiaqing period, it was also called the Renyi Society, and the Renyi Society is also a branch of the Heaven and Earth Society, so "from the Heaven and Earth Society and the Renyi Society, and the Jianghu Society evolved into the Elder Association, this is its origin."

Later, the Elders' Association experienced two important stages: the integration of the two major association systems of the Tiandihui and the White Lotus Sect during the Sichuan, Chuxi, and Shaanxi White Lotus Uprising period, and the integration of the two major association systems of the Tiandihui and the White Lotus Sect during the Taiping Rebellion

Li Rong, the envoy of Jiangning Salt Transport, said: "According to Shuzhong, there is still a Luluhui army since the rise of its party, more than ten years of outlaw and return to the army, instigated into a romantic and poisonous all over Hunan and Chu, and changed its name, the Jianghu will burn incense every time, the name of the famous hall of Lishan Mountain, the name of the Lotus Mountain, the Fugui Hall, the Moth Mountain Shunde Hall, each hall has the old hat of the sitting hall, the old hat of the hall, the old hat of each hall, the eight cards to one, two, three, five for the upper four cards, six ** ten for the lower four cards, four and seven words for the taboo, do not stand this card, the presiding counsellor number is the sage, the second master collects the money, the number is the head of the family, the third master has the red flag, the fifth master is in charge of the word, and the person is sent; The five masters of the black flag held the sword and the cane to kill the robbers who gathered the party, and it was called the fluttering and the team."

Li Rong depicted the situation of the Elders' Association, Zuo Zongtang also said: "Those who cover the Elders' Association, Benchuan and Qian, have the old aliases of the Elders" and said: "Since the Qinglu has become the bandit barracks of the Elders' Association, it has been infected all over the place."

This is also the source of the continuous bombing of the camp in the Qing army, why there are constantly soldiers joining the Elders' Association, and there is also a reason, because the members of the Elders' Association are not afraid of death in the army, and are willing to sacrifice their lives to save their comrades, unlike the Green Battalion soldiers, who will flee by themselves when the war is unfavorable, because the soldiers on the battlefield need the help of their comrades-in-arms, and with the help of the comrades-in-arms of the Elders' Association, more and more people will join the Elders' Association, forming the Qing Army's repeated prohibitions, and the situation is deeply poisoned by the Elders' Association, and the Qing Army will reform the soldiers who join the Elders' Association, and even solve this cancer by massacre, but it still cannot prevent the spread of the Elders' army

In the Great Northwest Operation, the Qing army appeared more than once, and members of the Brotherhood led the army to "bomb the camp", and Liu Mingchuan and Lei Zhengjuan were severely punished for "bombing the camp" by their troops

Cao Kezhong led a battalion of troops to rebel, but the Great Northwest had long been poisoned by the Hui Army, and was so devastated that he could not pull out a decent team from beginning to end

Seeing that a large number of Qing troops came to the west city gate, blocking the retreat of the Hui army in Lijiabao, the Hui army knew that the Hui army of Xiao Kongtong was completely annihilated, Dong Zhiyuan used to be the strategic depth of the Hui army, this is the old nest of the Hui army, but he did not expect that now it is compressed by the Qing army, and he cannot move in a castle

It was thought that the war would not start until at least the beginning of spring, but now that the Qing army launched an offensive early, there was no room for maneuver for the Lijiabao Hui army

The Hui army in the city watched the small fortress villages outside the city being easily conquered by the Qing army, and a few rumbling sounds, a fortress collapsed on the high slope of the loess, and after the smoke of gunpowder, you could see another mountain with a snow-capped lion flag on the head, and thousands of kilometers away, the Qing army launched a massacre against the defenseless Hui people, and those who were captured by the Hui were shot under the city of Lijiabao

No one shouted to the people at the head of Lijiabao City, and more than a dozen people and more than 20 people were shot dead in batches of Hui people, which is to show the Lijiabao Hui army what will happen to the people who resist to the end

The people in the city were full of tears, weeping bitterly, gritting their teeth and scolding the Qing army for their cruelty and blood debts, and they had to use blood to pay for so many blood debts, so the Hui people had to rebel and rebel, long live the Hui uprising

The Hui army has long forgotten that when they go out to fetch food, the scene is also treated like this, and the war in the Han village is annihilated, and humanity cannot be distinguished, and who is nobler than the other

Cao Kezhong's department originally relied on capturing Furlong cannons, howitzers and mortars from all over the country, and there were as many as 44 guns, preparing to attack and defend the war, and compete with the Qing army in wartime, so that the corpses of the Qing army were piled up under the walls of Lijiabao, but now they couldn't figure out the strength of the Qing army in their hearts, because the Qing army was thousands of kilometers away

Although I haven't seen the Qing army's Hongyi cannon, but in the ice and snow, thousands of catties of cannons can be dragged to the forward position, which makes the defenders of Lijiabao panic, the Qing army defended the city and dragged the Hongyi cannon to the loess high slope, how to do it, the Hui army is in turmoil, although there is a determination to die, but both the Hui people and the Han people know that their end is coming, a desperate atmosphere spreads over Lijiabao, thousands of lifeless faces have become white, and there is no difference between the dead

From the appearance, there is not much difference between the Hui army, except that they do not have long beards, they are all big beards, unkempt and sloppy, Tao Maolin took the binoculars and observed the distant forts, and scolded in his mouth: "Niang Xipi Yang Da Wazi deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and the whole body was sore, and the family died."

For a person with a red heart who agrees that the interests of the gang are above everything else, he can't figure out how Yang Dawazi will do things to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, so why do Han people do not do it, why do they want to be lackeys of the Manchurians, they have to die with dignity, they are fighting for the independence of the Han people, and they have been reduced to being cannon fodder for the Hui people

Cao Kezhong sighed: "General Tao scolded the Manchu lackeys for not dying, let's save some effort, Yang Dawazi, since he chose to leave our team, we are different from the enemy of Dai Tian, he should also be ashamed of the city, and I know that I am ashamed so much that I haven't seen his banner until now."

Zhang Hua sneered and said: "Big brother, you look down on Yang Dawazi, he will be hundreds of people, full of dogs, and will give him a banner, and when the city is attacked, he will be cannon fodder, and the first person to climb the city must be Yang Dawazi."

"I deserve to die," Cao Kezhong seemed to gloat, clenched his fists and loudly boosted morale

Cao Kezhong lamented in his heart, wasn't his soldiers and horses also used as cannon fodder by the fourth marshal Cui Wei, and the people were fighting for independence, and there were so many people who supported and were willing to sacrifice their lives for a noble cause, and they didn't even believe in the Elders, advocating that the Elder Brothers' uprising be regarded as an underworld rebellion, and after countless bloody battles, no city had ever opened its city gates to welcome the arrival of the Elder Brothers' rebels

Who can blame it, Zheng Chenggong, the founder of the Elders' Association, had a one-time massacre of 300,000 civilians, and the record was better than the Manchu massacre, and the so-called national heroes did not regard the Han people as human beings, and the Qing Dynasty wantonly slandered the Brotherhood of the Qing Dynasty, and the image of the Qing people was not good, and the national hero Zheng Chenggong was degraded to nothing by the Qing Dynasty, and the Brotherhood held high two banners: "Anti-Qing and Restoration of the Ming Dynasty" and "Kuangfu Han Room", and did not get the support of the people from all sides

"There are not many dogs, there are not many cannons, don't be afraid, as long as you resist the first wave of attack, the next is the time for our Furlong to show their skills," Tao Maolin held his telescope high and kept looking for the traces of artillery on the batteries outside the city, and couldn't find one, so he comforted himself and told his companions

In the offensive and defensive battle of Lijiabao, the Hui army occupied the right time and place, and with the support of 44 large and small artillery, the Hui army had some confidence in their hearts, thinking that they could at least start an offensive and defensive battle with the head of the Chu army

But the Hui army for the god Zuo Zongtang fear has been attached to the heart, no one boasted that Haikou dared to pull out a force to fight with Zuo Zongtang Chu army in the field, the huge disadvantage of weapons, and the Chu army was not afraid of death, rushing to kill has made the Hui army lose the ability to maneuver combat, there is no geographical advantage, the Hui army does not even dare to fight with the Chu army for a round, the Hui army only relies on the geographical advantage to support the war situation, and wants to drag down the Qing army, Dong Zhiyuan is on the vast loess slope

"Xiao Kongtong is a loess fortress, it is normal to be broken by the enemy, we are here but the boulders are built into a fortress, it is completely incompatible, Xu Lao Mao is waiting for Lijiabao to collect the corpse, not tens of thousands of people are full of dogs, and even the scenery on the wall can not be seen hahahaha" Cao Kezhong talked and laughed loudly, loudly boosted morale, and created a false impression for the surrounding soldiers, thinking that the Qing army was just like this, and it was not known who would die

"Swear to defend Dong Zhiyuan to the death, swear to defend the right of survival of the Hui people", the Hui army at the head of the city raised their arms and shouted slogans, both Hui and Han people

Now the Hui people have become weak, and the weak are not demanding high, not high at all, just living like a human being, living with dignity, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not even give this basic requirement to the Hui people, so they will pick up swords and guns to aim at the former masters, the Hui people will never talk about the establishment of an independent Islamic kingdom, they just fight for the right to survive, only need a little bit of local autonomy, the Hui people fantasize about establishing a highly autonomous Tusi regime like the Southern Barbarians, which is also to support them to fight, determined to fight a piece of the world, the great northwest and gain a firm foothold

Cao Kezhong's mouth was full of bitterness, the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Elder Society, here became a vassal of the Hui army, and it was a fight for the independence of the Hui people, and his idea was completely different from when he first revolted, when the various elder associations divided the rudder and said that they echoed each other, but the successful uprising, the army did not have a few people, thousands of rebels, although the officers and soldiers caused certain losses to the Qing Dynasty, but did not form an overwhelming shock wave, some of the Elder Brothers' organizations did not do anything, they suppressed the Qing army, he could not even mention the purpose of the uprising, shouting slogans in his mouth, even he did not agree, it was difficult to join Islam, and in the future for the Hui people, for the great interests of the Hui people

Although Cao Kezhong is a member of the Firm Elders' Association, he also thought about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but the fate is different, Yang Dawazi has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he will not escape death even if he is guilty of Jing petition, he and his brothers have no way to retreat, even if they know that they were sent to Lijiabao by the four marshals Cui Wei as cannon fodder, they can't escape, fate will be drawn here, the Qing Dynasty has too many capable soldiers, relying on more than 2,000 Han people and more than 2,000 Hui people, if you want to hold Lijiabao, it is impossible to do it, Cao Kezhong even has the courage to say big words, leaving him with only a dead end of jade burning

At least he lived a romantic life, and walked his life in a chic manner, without regrets in this life, Cao Kezhong cheered up, showed a lewd expression on his face, lifted his pants and belt, and shouted: "Brothers, full of dogs, they won't attack at night, go live first, his little lady."

"Hey, hey, hey," a large group of people rushed down the city, they walked on this road of no return, and they didn't think about what would happen tomorrow, death was a relief for them, and those little ladies would also go to Huangquan with them, and the flesh and blood relationship could not be taken by the Manchu dogs

The war is so cruel and ruthless, his own people also kill his own people, weak women are the first to suffer, Cao Kezhong will kill all the women of Lijiabao, but now he has not given an order, he looks like guarding a boulder, built into a fortress, there are guns, cannons, and soldiers to fight, at least it can last for three or four days, Cao Kezhong has never seen the power of hundreds of artillery salvos, he doesn't know that tomorrow is the end of Lijiabao

Now Lijiabao has become confused, waiting to suffer a thunderous blow from the Qing army, and after returning to the army, he will vent his life frantically, and Yang will turn Lijiabao into a paradise after life
