Chapter 513: Doing the Way for Heaven
If it is found that there are clans entrenched in the cottages against the "Red Banner Army", these stubborn armed forces will be wiped out by the "winged tigers".
As long as this team of people grasps the two basic principles of not committing rape and not committing massacres, the rest of the evils can turn a blind eye.
Looting food and gold and silver treasures is the main job of the bandits, and "doing the way for heaven" must first survive before they have a chance, which can be left to their own devices, as long as the poor man grasps the basic principle of not killing unarmed people.
When the men and horses of the "winged tiger" were surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army, they also had to kill the bloody road, which was a last resort, and it could only be so, and if they lay down their weapons in front of other Ming troops, they would lose their lives nine times out of ten.
In fact, the vast majority of the Ming army was not much better than the Liukou, and there was no need to be merciful to them, and it was a good choice to beat them into the city and retreat into the city, lest they would never harm the common people and harass the place.
During the development period, the "winged tiger" did not leave the Taihang Mountain area as much as possible, so as to prevent them from coming to the Great Plains and being surrounded by the officers and regiments.
Being able to obtain relatively accurate information about the Ming army's encirclement and suppression and the loopholes in its deployment, the "winged tigers" can completely take the lead in abandoning the big leaders and escaping to preserve their strength by adopting the method of dying and impoverishing the Daoists.
Pei Daneng, Sheng Yuhua and a team of more than a dozen people will be responsible for liaising with this group of people in the future, and ensuring that they can get the food and weapons they need to survive.
Because he injured his lung lobes in the battle, Pei Daneng couldn't control his cough at all once he started coughing, so he couldn't follow the "winged tiger" to fight guerrilla warfare and fight in the dense forest hills.
His main stronghold was in Houjiazhuang, which was not far from the Taihang Mountains, and he would follow the army or disguise himself as a merchant to make regular contact with the men and horses in the mountains, and at a critical moment, he could also mobilize the "Red Flag Army" left nearby to make a false shot.
Zhao Shisanhe, who has become his wife and is now the leader of the flag guard group, led more than a dozen flag guards to follow Jin Minghu into Taihang Mountain for development, and these people will become the mainstay of this biao people.
The establishment of the flag guard is slightly different from that of the regular army, with five people as a team, three groups as a group with two group leaders, three groups as a large group, one team leader, one deputy team leader, one instructor, and one town governor similar to a political supervisor.
The three groups of flag guards are one team, and the total number of leaders at the level of group leader and above reaches more than 170 people, and the establishment of three teams for one military intelligence department reaches 600 people.
Now Huang Sifang has thirteen flag guards in his hands, and there are more than the number of flag guards, and the scope of activities covers half of the northern Ming Dynasty, and there is the Gyeonggi Military Intelligence Department under the full responsibility of Li Sanniang.
There are also Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Henan military intelligence offices, which are flourishing, and now they are being asked by Huang Han to develop Nanzhili, Fengyang, Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangxi, and other regions.
With the support of the flag guards and the support of food and weapons, and with the Taihang Mountains as a base area, dozens or even millions of displaced people who could not survive have become a source of soldiers, and it is very possible that the number of people and horses will exceed 10,000 in the future.
There are so many rogues who have escaped into Taihang Mountain, and there has been a "winged tiger" to recruit rebellion, I believe that it will not be long before there will be a unique team of bandits active in Taihang Mountain, and their discipline is as good as the thieves after Chongzhen's thirteen years later.
When the time is ripe, you can put forward the political program of Juntian exemption before the thief, shout the lie of "not paying food" in advance, and then deliberately contradict and self-destruct the promise, just see what to do if the thief is still alive and can live until Chongzhen thirteen years later?
He will never play with the rest of the "winged tiger", or even pick up the ones that have been messed up and continue to play.
This is the superiority of Huang Han who came to the end of the Ming Dynasty with the perspective of God, and deliberately destroyed the foundation for thieves to be able to respond to every call in the future, so that people in the world can understand the deception of "not paying for food".
Jin Minghu, who advanced west to Taihang Mountain, and his party of more than 40 people, led more than 20 pack horses and brought 50 stones of grain.
The standard weapons of the "Red Banner Army" could not be equipped for them, and only Zhao 13 and his wife carried four self-generated short guns, gunpowder, and lead bullets.
Zhao Shisan is now the deputy director of the Shanxi Military Intelligence Department, and the treatment of this position is equivalent to the actual deputy general manager of the "Red Banner Army".
He was wounded and left with sequelae, and he had to change careers to become a flag guard because he couldn't use the strength of one arm and couldn't ride and shoot, but he was able to use his own short gun.
Han Manzhi is in good health but has no martial arts, and after hard practice shooting, he can skillfully use arquebuses and self-generated guns, and he can shoot targets with more than 200 steps with a Minny gun and score more than eight rings.
It's a pity that this small team can't carry Minnie guns, and even the unique self-generated guns of the "Red Banner Army" can't be carried, in case someone captures it when they turn to battle in the mountains.
Now Han Manzhi is using a Lumi gun, with two self-generated short guns wrapped in cloth on his waist, and this team carries more than a dozen Lumi guns of acceptable quality.
Because they were worried about showing their flaws too deliberately, they didn't bring them even if they had good horses.
There are only seven war horses in the small team of the "Winged Tiger", which are still middle and low-class, and the armor they brought is the equipment that originally belonged to the Liukou, and the armor on Jin Minghu's body is his original equipment, which is said to have been captured by killing a thousand household officials of the Ming army.
Not carrying a large number of "Red Banner Army" standard weapons does not mean that their combat effectiveness is not good, 18 of the more than 40 people have good archery skills, they selected 36 strong bows of the Ming army from the captured bows and arrows to carry, and brought no less than 1,000 feather arrows.
Jin Minghu is also a powerful fierce man, the weapon is a nine-ring machete weighing eighteen catties, he can open the bow left and right, not to mention that the arrow is not far away!
After they walked west for a day, they collected some homeless people, in fact, there were hundreds of homeless people found along the way, and most of Zhao Shisan's eyes were not eyed, because these people were either skinny and didn't have a few strengths, or there were more than a dozen people who dragged their families and mouths to bear too heavy burdens.
There are more than 20 families and more than 80 people who have become the first batch of minions of the armed opening of the "winged tiger" bandits, these Shanxi people in the Taihang Mountains are obviously hungry and relatively strong, basically there are no old people to follow, and there are few children who are too young.
A knife was issued to more than 30 young adults, and five or six strong hunters were issued with a Ming army-style infantry bow, and then they were wrapped in a piece of red cloth around their heads, which was similar to the dress of the Taiping Army of Hong Xiuquan in later generations, and became the standard image of the "winged tiger" department.
They also robbed all the people they met along the way, and found that the mountain villages and people also rushed in to loot food, gold and silver, and the method was no different from that of the rogues, except that they were not too cruel, basically asking for food, money, and death.
