With the aftermath of the night feast, the fleets of ships transported back and forth on the river and the increasingly busy and lively exchange activities on the road, the day when the rebels from all walks of life will make alliances and pledge to reconquer are also approaching in the time when the water flies.

And because of the relatively sufficient grain and grass as a basis and self-support, the integration and merger of various branches from the General's Mansion is also in full swing. Although there have been many incidents and frictions as a result;

There were even a few peripheral rebels with different ideas and selfish intentions who secretly joined forces in tandem to carry out different degrees of fire and counterattack against the strong instructions of the joint venture, inspectors and unified orders of the General's Mansion;

In addition, there were also several rebel armies from other tribes who wanted to break away and flee without permission, and there was a fierce conflict with the men and horses in the general's mansion. However, all these disputes and infighting, with the cooperation of the Taiping Army, which had mastered the water and land communications, forcibly suppressed and pacified the main formation of the Great General's Mansion.

Eventually, hundreds of leaders and their generals were captured or beheaded; And the tens of thousands of motley men and horses under his command were merged by the General's Mansion, and then they were exhausted and filled into the armies of the five directions and seven wings. As for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, they were accepted by the Taiping army;

Although most of them could not fight and could only be used as trenches and cannon fodder, at least they could be used for farming and reproducing the population, and it was not a problem, after all, the vast majority of them were originally exiled peasants who could not survive.

And under the shock of these early birds being killed and set an example, the rest of the local rebels in Jiangzhou who were still obedient and obeyed the orders also became much more calm and honest, and obediently accepted the repeated measures from the General's Mansion.

Although after this incident, the rebel army that finally gathered changed from a 200,000-strong army to a 100,000-strong army after receiving points and proofreading, at least the organization and discipline have improved.

As accomplices and thrusts, the Taiping army has made a fortune in a muffled manner, and has obtained many direct or indirect, inconvenient to put into mouth or publicized, ready-made or potential long-term and short-term benefits and benefits.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is also the beginning and beginning of the honeymoon period in which the relationship between the Taiping Army and the general's headquarters is harmonious, and there is a tacit understanding.

。。。。。。。

At the same time, in the courtyard of the temporary back house of the Great General's Palace, various delicate objects such as silk yarn brocade silk and silk ra, as well as samples of skirts and ornaments, were already placed on the waterfront of the huge garden.

The maids, ladies and ladies who were about to comb their hair and perform the ceremony were temporarily hiding from afar and did not dare to disturb the atmosphere at the moment.

"How can you guard me for the rest of your life."

Although it is already there, the charm is still more tall and plump, Cao, looked at the girl in front of him who was half-kneeling in his arms, wiping her tears, and sighed.

"As a woman, when you come to the world, you must eventually get married and have children to pass on the lineage, this is the life of a daughter's family."

"At least this time Grandpa told you that he is a young man of the right age, and he has some achievements and weather. After following him, no matter how big or small, you may not have to be like your mother, suffering so much and suffering so many sins. ”

"That false brother, I have also seen and described it from afar in the house; To say that among the many people who come and go in and out of the house, it can be regarded as a place where the appearance is good and out. It's also a clean and self-righteous character.,There's no decent person around you who can argue with you.。。 ”

"Maybe with a little thought, you can live a good life for a long time; In this way, even if there are new and clinging people in the future, it will make you grow a little bit like a sister. ”

Speaking of this, she remembered the scene when she found this poor little child who was so frightened that she could barely speak in the corpses of the huge mansion, and she was held in her arms despite the blood stains all over her body, who had just lost the child in her womb again.

It has been many years since this flicker, but he has already entered the age of old people, Cao Shi couldn't help but sigh with sentimentality:

"Speaking of which, I may not be afraid of your jokes, but in the future, my mother may expect you to give me a retirement and send me to the end."

"Isn't there still Brother Hao, Grandma?"

The girl was a little obedient and put away her tears, and in turn relieved.

"He, naturally, has his own future and way out."

Mrs. Cao said with a somewhat complicated expression, but in her heart she was glad that at least he was sent out at the moment.

After all, with the two young sons born to King Huang one after another, his identity as a nephew, who was originally regarded by Huang Chao as an adopted son, has become a little embarrassing and subtle; So much so that she can only intercede and arrange to go out through her, in order to avoid these troubles from the more and more complicated and unfamiliar general's mansion.

。。。。。。

In Changshan County, on the border between Xinzhou (now Jingdezhen City) and Quzhou (now Quzhou City). There were already corpses in front of the walled city attacked by a rebel army, but there were still many people with baskets or sacks on their backs, and the yellow-skinned or skinny people were constantly gathering.

In front of the grain bags piled up on the cart, a general of the Volunteer Army wearing leather armor with a coarse cloth head was also shouting to the crowd of people who had just eaten a barely satisfying meal and picked up sticks, knives, sickles, and axes

"As long as you rush under the wall, you will have a bag of grain"

"If you can climb the wall, you can eat meat on the spot."

"Cut down an official dog, and the food given will be doubled accordingly. As long as it's torn off the wall, it counts. ”

And on the mound farther away, surrounded by a group of rebel cavalry stationed on horseback, as the youngest member of the Yellow Gate Eight Sons and one of the front wing generals, because of his extraordinarily flexible and agile skills and brains in his early years, Huang Hao, alias "Little Turning the Sky", was also squinting at this scene with narrow eyes.

As a teenager, he rode this horse with his family to sell salt, and now he leads one of the few horse teams under the command of the Great General's Mansion. For a long time, he has been responsible for the police patrol and the periphery of the Great General's Mansion in Jiangzhou.

At least after receiving the support and relief of two large batches of grain and grass before and after, these peripheral rebel armies, which had been silent and stopped due to lack of food, also gradually became active in various places again with the distance from the main formation of the Great General's Mansion.

Among them, these people from the main formation of the Great General's Mansion have become the backbone and support core of their daily siege and land raiding. When encountering problems, difficulties and setbacks, it is also the key to these relatively "elite" men and horses to play a decisive role and defeat the enemy.

In this way, all kinds of local armed forces and miscellaneous people who came with them could follow behind and pick up some leaks and share some leftovers from the broken cities, towns, forts, and forts.

"The court official who killed the King of Heaven (Xianzhi) is said to be hiding in this stockade."

Beside him, a gruff-faced leader with a bareback mule on his shoulder, was still chattering and persuading

"That's me leading a team to burn down his hometown village, and I personally forced them out of the mouths of those villagers,"

Because, this Songyang Town Zhushan Dazhai (now Kaihua Zhongcun Township) is said to have retired from the imperial court in the prime of life, and once served as the hometown of Yingzhou Thorn History, the deputy envoy of the southeast camp recruitment, and the general of Zuo Weiwei, Zhang Zimian, who led the clansmen to retreat;

Therefore, in the face of the spread of the righteous army, and with many gentry, Feng Weng, village sages, and wealthy families, the people and village soldiers gathered here, and the resistance was also extremely resolute and difficult.

There were even several rebels from other tribes before, and they even lost the heads of two of their leaders when they returned here, and they are still hanging on the wall to dry. Because of this, it also attracted this young man among the eight sons of the Yellow Gate, who personally led his troops to plunder the formation and supervise the battle.

"It's worthy of being a veteran for many years, and it's really a little bit like that."

Huang Hao, who looked expressionless, suddenly made such a noise.

"This time, I can't let the big head of this official dog get away. He's covered with the blood of his old and new brothers."

The leader couldn't help but be stunned, and then changed to a pleading expression.

"You can rest assured, since I'm here, I won't let him go."

Huang Hao smiled unmoved.

"That's good,"

"Huang Qianrate is willing to make a move, that's the best."

"I'm waiting for good news."

Hearing his words, everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance, and they couldn't help but show an eager expression.

You must know that the first general to become the leader of the rebel armies from all walks of life was the general of the Heavenly King (Xianzhi), who died in the hands of the other party. Although he was deceased, he was replaced by the current general Huang Wang; However, a large number of high-ranking members of the rebel army, including General Manager Shang and Gai Dutong, were once the origins of the old department under his command.

If you can catch the culprit who attacked and killed the Heavenly King in the first place, and avenge him with a thousand knives, then you will undoubtedly gain more reputation and gratitude among these old brothers of the rebel army;

And this is undoubtedly more beneficial and helpful for Huang Hao's next plan, such as asking for the aunt in charge. As soon as he thought of that delicate figure that was haunted by his dreams, his mind, which was originally as hard as iron, couldn't help but become hot and soft.

"Blow the trumpet, let the shooters come forward to help...

After a while, the defenders of the walled wall were lying down with casualties under the indiscriminate shooting of the rebel archers who had suddenly thrown into the battle, and were covered by the crowd of people under the wall; Suddenly, a fast horse galloped up and brought him a message.

"I'm going back."

Huang Hao just glanced at it, and then his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said to the left and right.

"How can this be..."

Among the leaders surrounding him, he suddenly burst out in a hurried exclamation.

"I almost want to take it down. You can avenge the king of mending heaven.。。 ”

At this time, there was a huge sound on the wall, but under the crowd of dead corpses, the strong men guarding the wall were still unbearable, and finally there was a gap because of the escape.

And in the walled city that was about to be breached, Zhang Zimian, a former general who was not angry and self-assured, was also covered in blood and retreated to a mansion with the support of only a dozen remaining generals.

"Dashuai, it's already impossible to hold here."

"You have led everyone to persist to this point, and you have done your best. I really don't need to pay attention to the requests of those village parties. ”

"Now the wall can't resist it, and soon there will be broken houses in the stockade to make trouble, and if you don't leave, it will all fold here."

"Even if you don't hesitate to do this, you have to think about your wife and little lady, can you bear to be humiliated by thieves? We should not hesitate to die for a penny. ”
