Liu Vicious Wolf's words can be said to be the hearts of all walks of life, now Gong Blind and Zhang Lexing are playing too many tricks, neither talking about war nor peace, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!

Immediately, Su Tianfu asked: "Master Zhang Dameng, if you don't tell the truth, I can only ask the woman in your room, even if Mrs. Ma doesn't say it, I will also go to find the golden cicada!" ”

Su Tianfu and Liu Vicious Wolf can be said to be the most weighty twisters, and Zhang Lexing has already told the truth: "Isn't it just for everyone to have a golden avenue, money, food and women, of course...... And don't forget that we have recovered the Great Han! ”

This is all true, having money, food and women is the highest goal of the army, they don't even have a concept of a base area, in the early days, they avoided the decisive battle as soon as they encountered the main force of the Qing army, and retreated as soon as they encountered a strong city, and even if they took a few county seats, they did not have the concept of managing well.

It was only last year's victory in Sanhejian that the concept of the Twist Army changed, but it changed from absolute guerrilla to absolute guarding, there was no concept of mobile troops, and one after another dock villages were ready to hold on, and now Zhang Lexing stood up and waved his hand to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, today I want to make a big vote, do this vote, squatting at home for three or five years without going out is no problem, and the benefits are innumerable!" ”

"Hezhou Chaohu Lake is a good place!" Zhang Long had already understood Zhang Lexing's thoughts: "But Zhang Dameng, there are really only a thousand red barbarians?" ”

Although I heard that the Red Barbarians had strong combat effectiveness and defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing army, they were in the bottom of Zhang Long's heart. No matter how strong the red barbarian is, he only has those skills, and these two Huai are the home of the twister, allowing the twister to go back and forth. What is there to be afraid of, only a thousand people, all walks of life are united. You can send 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the horse team alone has 10,000 or 20,000 horses, and it is not a general game to destroy them.

Zhang Long's thoughts represent most of the ideas of twisting heads, but Zhang Lexing smiled and said: "Chaohu and the state are both good places, but our goal is not there, we can't break through the big city in the past, the key is still unfavorable, and there are too few foreign guns and cannons." You can only fight with human life, but now there can be a change! ”

Zhang Lexing asked Gong Deshu, a military advisor, to come out to speak, and Gong Deshu's blind eyes lit up: "This time, I personally went to Hezhou, and I saw the skills of those red barbarians. Some soldiers have only been in the army for three or five months, but why they can take Hezhou, the key is that people's equipment is dozens of times stronger than ours, and they use mini rifles, flintlock pistols, and shooting guns, which are many times stronger than our native guns and earth cannons. Not to mention that their small cannons are comparable to our cannons of thousands of catties, and their cannons are not comparable to the cannons of tens of thousands of catties on our side! ”

"In addition to the equipment, I think the skills of these red barbarians are just ordinary, we should have a chance of winning, and more importantly, they are all some southern barbarians, who can't ride horses, how to fight if they can't ride horses!"

In Chinese history, the two Huai can be said to be the place of cavalry, the Southern Dynasties have always relied on the horse team here to fight against the iron cavalry in the north, and in modern times, the Twist Army has a powerful cavalry known as tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and during the War of Resistance against Japan, there are also Peng Xuefeng's four divisions of cavalry, so Gong Blind said this, everyone's confidence was puffed up.

"A thousand red barbarians, you can take it! You can take it! Liu Vicious Wolf shouted: "Brothers, pull a few small flags out, rush all the way south, and promise to return their foreign guns and cannons!" ”

"Kaihezhou, everyone has a better year this year!"

"That's right, these two Huai are our twisters, not their red barbarians!"

As soon as the twisters shouted like this, it was really high-spirited, but Zhang Lexing had his own ideas, as soon as he raised it, Zhang Zongyu, the little king of Yama behind him, looked at each other angrily, and all the twisters suddenly calmed down, Zhang Lexing continued: "Just one Chaohu and the state is enough for the New Year!" ”…,

"That's Hefei! Hit Hefei! Recently, due to the Hongjun in the south of the Yangtze River, it has attracted too much attention for them, so that they can't find their own positioning, but Zhang Lexing is quite strategic: "I want not Hefei, but ...... Yangzhou! ”

"Yangzhou?" The twisters present were first stunned, and then pressed over, and they all held Zhang Lexing's hand: "Alliance leader, good calculation!" ”

"You can't forget Lao Tzu when you fight Yangzhou!"

"I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be able to enter the world of flowers in Yangzhou!"

"Take Hezhou Chaohu Lake first, then fight Hefei, and then sweep Yangzhou!"

"Great, great! Lexing, we'll follow you! ”

The rise of the Twist Army was originally a combination of homeless scoundrels, local tyrants and some low-level officials, such as Zhang Lexing, a local tyrant with thousands of acres of family can be very rare, most of them are a combination of proletarians, and even the case of twisting heads, they have no vision, do not know the business base, according to the Qing side to them, that they have neither land, nor people, just rogues, although the combat effectiveness is stronger than the Taiping Army, but it is much easier to deal with than the Taiping Army.

Now Zhang Lexing wants to take them to break Yangzhou, they are willing to do a hundred in their hearts, who doesn't know the world of flowers in Yangzhou, and doesn't know the fireworks in Yangzhou in March, everyone has planned how to plan after opening Yangzhou.

You must know that the biggest result of the Twist Army in history is to break the Qingjiangpu near Huai'an a few years later, and take the River Governor Yamen there, this River Governor Yamen can be much inferior to Yangzhou, but after all, it is the River Governor Station, and there are a large number of salt merchants stationed here, these poor twisters looted in Qingjiangpu, and pulled back a cart of property to the Pheasant River Collection, and in the fifties, some scholars used to do interviews with the Twist Army, and the descendants of the Twist Army still talked about this time to open the Qingjiang Pujin, which is the most worthy thing for them to boast about.

Zhang Lexing's clothes were torn by the people who rushed up, and he said with all his might: "We first destroyed the red barbarians in Hezhou and Chaohu, confiscated their foreign guns and cannons, and then armed them with their guns, went straight down the river, and took Yangzhou back. ”

"I am willing to share wealth with Brother Zhang!"

"I am willing to fight with Zhang Meng for such a great fortune!"

"Lao Zhang, after defeating Yangzhou, we have to find dozens of Yangzhou thin horses!"

There was thunder of joy.

The joy of the pheasant river set thundered for the first time to the ears of Feng Sixian, who was running in southern Anhui, he was a veteran, both as the commander of the army, experienced many wars, and also served as a magistrate, so everything has rules, specially to the two Huai a number of chess pieces, and his arrangement was rewarded in the first time.

There is only one and a half infantry battalions of the Hong Army in Jiangbei, and half of this one and a half infantry battalions is still Liu Chang's specially increased strength, but even so, this amount of strength is really insufficient to fight against the Twist Army that swept the two Huai, so he immediately scavenged troops to reinforce Jiangbei.

It's just that Feng Sixian's strength at hand is too limited, and the strength he has at hand is only the main force of an infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade, and it is already very tight to control the southern Anhui region with a population of millions, fortunately, the Jiangxi Second Army sent an infantry brigade to support the operation, but although the second army entered Hunan in the early stage, after controlling more than 20 counties, the strength is suspected of being tight, and it is ready to open up a new front in Hubei, and the overall strength seems to be tight. Therefore, it was prepared to transfer an infantry brigade sent back to Jiangxi to fight.

In this case, Feng Sixian's troops at hand are becoming more and more tight, but in order to better manage the southern Anhui region and develop this place into a strong base of the Hong Army, the entire Feng Sixian's infantry brigade and half of the cavalry brigade have been scattered and deployed in dozens of counties in the entire southern Anhui region, only half of the main force of the cavalry brigade is used as a mobile force, and half of the cavalry brigade is already the limit of the mobile force in southern Anhui. …,

Therefore, as soon as he got the news that the Twist Army might attack south, Feng Sixian found that he had no troops to adjust, especially the reinforcements sent by the Second Army to prepare to return to Jiangxi, he could only strengthen the defense of Jiangbei in a hurry, first ordered the Hezhou detachment to take Chaohu Lake at the first time, and have a solid foothold, and at the same time formed a reinforced company with his own guard company plus some of the wounded who returned to the team and sent it to the Hezhou detachment for reinforcements, and at the same time searched for troops everywhere to prepare to reinforce half a battalion to the northeast, but this was Feng Sixian's limit.

In this urgent report, Feng Sixian recounted the situation in southern Anhui: "Southern Anhui needs a reinforced division and a cavalry brigade at a minimum, and to open up Jiangbei, it is necessary to have a reinforced regiment, at least four infantry battalions and an artillery battalion. ”

"In view of this reality, please postpone the transfer of the 1st Independent Brigade of the Second Army from southern Anhui, and at least leave an infantry regiment behind! At the same time, an infantry brigade will be transferred from the direction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to support Anhui Province, and if the direction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is unable to be transferred, an independent brigade can be formed from the old Taiping Army to fight in Anhui! 100,000 urgent, please be sure to send troops to help! ”

It's just that after reading Feng Sixian's suggestion, Zhu Jinlei has already said: "King Yan, can't you transfer the old Taiping Army to Anhui now, Hong Xiuquan is in Jiangbei!" ”

In any case, these Taiping troops were only forced to join the Rainbow Army due to the situation, even if many people could not turn back, but there were still many people who had heaven in their hearts, so Feng Sixian's suggestion was somewhat inappropriate, and Liu Chang agreed with this point of view: "The old Taiping army can't go to southern Anhui, but it's not good to stay in Jiangsu, where do you think it's better to go?"
