Guping Town, where the silver of Guping Temple is located, is named after it, which is one of the remains of the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty; The predecessor is also known as the Baoshen Temple and the Xiao Temple.
Because Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, worshiped Buddha the most, and often sacrificed himself to Buddhism and ordered the princes and ministers to redeem it with hundreds of millions of dollars, so he used the worship as the capital to build a jungle to repay himself. See also "Du Yang Miscellaneous Edition": "Emperor Wu of Liang is a good Buddha, made a floating map, and ordered Xiao Ziyun to fly to the white book Xiao Temple." ”。
After five generations and the fruit is only one of the ancient forests that has been inherited, it was also briefly destroyed when Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, and the property of the house was confiscated; It was not until the time of Shunzong that it was re-regulated under the imperial decree. Despite this, it still occupies most of the real estate in Guping Town.
In the turbulent period of the current Qianfu period, the temple buildings surrounded by gray bricks, blue walls, and river ditches that have been added and repaired in successive dynasties are also one of the few places that are conducive to defending in this almost undefended water town.
Of course, no matter how dangerous a place is, it needs people to defend it; In normal times, it is just a matter of fighting against a large group of homeless people who have no organization to speak of, or bandits and bandits, and even local local groups and villagers. However, in the face of the surging peasant army, it was not much stronger than an egg that touched a stone.
Therefore, in this short period of more than half a year, the location of the temple that occupies the hinterland of Guping Old Town has been changed hands several times by the ownership of different forces; The monks inside have already fled with death and injury, leaving only the messy and smoky mountain gates and courtyards, and the looted empty and vain temples and Buddhist halls and monks' houses.
Now, following the defeat of the local regiment entrenched in the rebellion, the pioneers of the Taiping army with the green flag stepped on the blood stains and corpses on the ground and entered the only stronghold with ready-made defense facilities within a radius of more than ten miles.
It's just that on the Taiping green flag they planted, there are smaller words embroidered on the lower end: "jumping", "selecting the front" and "ascending first".
As an elite soldier in the Taiping Army who receives double salary, and also has special allowances and preferential supply treatment in addition to normal duty; It is also divided into different sequences of jumping, selection and first landing according to the use and occasion.
The simplest thing is that the jumping man is the battlefield commando who is responsible for opening up the situation in the usual sense; Unlike the cavalry, which was used in a centralized manner, it was deployed directly down to the battalion and regimental units, and the regular soldiers were maintained on a scale of ten to one.
Compared with the standard four-piece sets such as helmets, chests, shoulder pads and knee covers on regular soldiers, there are more necks, shawls, and shin guards to complete the whole body; and that every man has a plurality of weapons of alternating length and short, armed to the teeth before the battle; They are both good at arrays and can fight alone in small waves, which is their biggest characteristic.
Then, the athletes selected on the basis of the jumpers are divided into two separate special types of troops: the selection of strikers and the first rank.
The former is the vanguard sequence of clearing the way, removing obstacles, and conducting reconnaissance by force for the army in a broad sense. The emphasis is on the appropriate amount of protection and sufficient off-road maneuverability, which facilitates the versatility of contingency means and experience in a variety of emergency situations.
When necessary, it can use explosive forced marches and armed breakthroughs at any cost to occupy strategic points or break through the key points, and provide battlefield support points for the follow-up army.
The latter is specially designed to meet the task of attacking the city; Therefore, it is necessary to have a stronger physique and stamina, and can wear strong armor and hold long and short weapons such as big swords, and climb the city to break the enemy under the cover of many projectors.
Therefore, the emphasis is on the explosive power in a short period of time and the resilience of the bloody battle; You can skillfully use a variety of weapons and combat skills, so that you can break down the gap and break down, or further plough the court to sweep the hole.
Nowadays, all the vanguard teams of the Taiping Army are almost the above three mixed teams according to a certain proportion, and some chariots, horses, equipment, equipment or technical arms are strengthened.
Standing on the stupa with only half of the section left, Lu Drifting, who was first selected as a member of the Swingers, was also looking around. Because in this vast and boundless place, any means of sneak attack and surprise capture are basically useless. It's just a hard-hitting frontal attack.
Therefore, after they took this place, they easily defeated several groups of enemies who had come one after another to retake this place; At least two or three hundred people were killed, wounded, and killed. Therefore, at the moment, we are grasping the gap to prepare equipment, count materials and harvests, and use materials from local materials. Re-reinforcement of some weak and incomplete areas.
Because his body is light and flexible enough, and his eyes are good, Lu Drift, who went to the battlefield for the first time as a swinger, was given the responsibility of being in charge of the western lookout post.
Although he was born as a gangster in the Guangzhou market, he had seen a stall selling fish for his sister, and he could also read a few sentences about the government's posters; Therefore, this bonus finally made him selected as one of the swingers who were eligible to eat canned food every day in exchange for better treatment;
Because he was really hungry and scared in his early years, especially after joining the Taiping Army and knowing that there were so many delicious foods in the world, he felt that he couldn't give up and only felt that if he could eat for one more day, he would be used for one more day.
He also wanted to earn a decent family business and raise his eyebrows in front of the rude brother-in-law; It would have been a hundred times if the sword had died without an eye, but at least there was something left to point out to my sister for the rest of her life.
He originally wanted to go to the fire throwing team, which is known as the cutting-edge of the military, but unfortunately he was one step inferior to the qualified line in terms of arm strength; And can only be a flexible physical fitness base, at the cost of giving up the transfer to ten long, in exchange for the qualification to be selected for the better treatment of the jumping team.
And not far from him, Wang Qiu, who had already shrunk from his chubby body a lot, was also fidgeting and grinning while desperately devouring the bean stew in the can, as if he wanted to eat the knife on his thigh in one go.
As a sword player in the battle team, the probability of being injured in the back thigh is too small, especially under the strong attack cover of his own side, he can actually be shot by a stray arrow on the round card behind him, and then break and splash on his unprotected back thigh, it is simply too weird.
As a result, there was no feeling of being hit by an arrow during the chaotic battle, but when it was time to open a knife and take an arrow to heal the wound, because of the rough craftsmanship of the cameo ambulance, he howled several times like killing a pig, and became a joke in this team; So seize this moment of rest and use a ruthless meal to relieve embarrassment and shame.
As an apprentice of Yu Hou, Li Guo'er is using special charcoal and booklets to shorthand down various details and noteworthy points from this round of battles, and even some information and temporary judgments such as the identity of the enemy.
Although the ensuing four battles were somewhat lackluster, he meticulously inspected the corpses and counted the captures through the leader, interviewed and questioned most of the combatants who were still able to speak and breathe, and recorded their feelings and experiences, even complaints and complaints.
Theoretically, he would be the last person on the team to die when great danger came.
Because before that, he had to make sure that what he recorded could be buried in time and have a chance to fall into the hands of his own army, and then provide the Taiping army's main formation with the corresponding enemy situation and corresponding experience through the corresponding ciphertext (simplified).
For example, these enemies who have fought with them, although they are all known as the righteous battalion army belonging to the thirteen states in eastern Zhejiang, they are really very different from each other. Some are just local self-recruited Tutuan and township soldiers, some are town soldiers who have been sued, and some are simply local refugees or bandits, or even former rebels who have been dispersed and absorbed.
In fact, even those peripheral rebels who helped in the war also had a variety of origins and subordinates; Among them, there were many local armed forces who came to speculate, and even many of them were rebels who became bandits and thieves after the defeat and disbandment of the official army, and were re-incorporated.
There are even a few people who can be very lucky, and they can change their camp and identity many times in it, and gradually grow stronger by preserving themselves left and right. This also brought considerable difficulties and obstacles to the Taiping Army's affiliation and identification of enemy camps and identities.
"What the fuck is this? It's not this way of playing with chaos. ”
Li Yuyuan, one of the leading captains standing beside him, was even more unceremoniously rude.
"Where have all the officers and soldiers of the genuine brand died, do you expect these goods to be able to stop our army?"
Although he was once the small leader of the Tuan that was co-opted, he belonged to a small surname landlord with a relatively solid family; But it did not prevent him from despising and belittling the past that he had cared about and cherished in the past.
After going through so many things, he obviously can't look down on the gains and losses of dozens of acres of land in the original township. Because what can be obtained from the Taiping army and the future is in fact far greater than the benefits that his family has deducted from the fields for generations;
Besides, as long as this troubled era continues, even if he is a small rich man who can barely maintain himself, how long can he last; Perhaps just another famine or war, or even just a homeless crossing, would be enough to make him fall from a rich man to a middle-aged or even a poor person.
Even if it is fortunate that there are no such external disasters, in the face of the increasingly difficult situation and the overall environment; Neither have enough strength nor the convenience of clansmen to be officials, and they will inevitably be subject to those, squeezing and annexation from the truly powerful families, and the final development will not be much better.
Therefore, in the words of the lord with whom he agrees very much, rather than everyone staring at the little bit of life in this land, fighting for death and life has almost reached the dead end of the cycle of chaos; It is better to find a way to lean the process and seek a way, to open up mountains and mines, set up workshops, and trade at home and abroad;
After the world's output scale and circulation plate are expanded, and there is a top-down good adjustment, it will naturally be able to feed Heze and more people, and the peaceful world that truly traces back to the three generations of antiquity will naturally come.
However, as if his crow's beak had been fulfilled, the whistle of the alarm was soon heard from the top of the west tower where Lu Drift was in charge.
"There is a brigade of officers and soldiers, and it is approaching."
