"Rock Village?"

After a long time, Ye Bingzhong said: "I think it's better to cross the river from Fucheng?" Now the pirates are crisscrossing the Jiangkou area, and if they want to cross the river and take the Panshi Village directly, they must first clean up Ge Mengjin's gang of pirates. ”

Qinglian has been a Taoist platform in Wenchu Road for more than ten years, and he knows the landscape situation of the entire Wenzhou Mansion well, and he called Ye Bingzhong's expression: "Songpo, this is what you think wrong!" You are from Taizhou, and you came to Wenzhou to become a deputy general of Ruian, and you are not as familiar with the situation of Yongjia as I am. ”

"Yongjia County came to report, now there are 17,800 red turban thieves under the pseudo-deputy marshal Ni Tingmo in Jiangbei, and the leader may you know, it is Hu Zuolong, the former foreign commissar in the Taizhou Green Camp."

As soon as he heard Hu Zuolong's name, Ye Bingzhong nodded: "I know this person, he is a fierce horse that is difficult to train, but he has some talent in leading the army." ”

Next to him, Yu Shufeng was also a Wenchu Daotai who had just arrived this year: "There are as many as 17,800 thieves, but if our army transfers 1,000 soldiers to cross the river bravely, it will never repeat the hatred of Vice General Chi." ”

"Nope! Yu Dao is not as familiar with the situation of Yongjia as I am, in the area of Nanxi in Jiangbei, there have always been many local tyrants who have been in turmoil, Ni Tingmo will be able to coerce a number of people who do not know the times, and the two confluences will inevitably increase too much, if our troops can not cross the river and win in a battle, if it is protracted, Qu Zhenhai will lead the main force of the red turban thieves to help, it will inevitably be lost. ”

Thinking that Chi Jiangong led 700 soldiers to cross the river bravely but persisted in less than a day and failed, Ye Bingzhong and Yu Shufeng both felt that Qinglian was very reasonable.

And Qing Lian is very sure about recovering Panshi Village: "As for Panshi Village, although the Jiangkou is controlled at this time, there are only 297 soldiers in my Panshi Battalion, and there are no more than 200 guards in the village, and the guards in the village are at most 200 strange, and the red turban thieves are attacking with thousands of people, and Shi Degong is a big enemy with only 200 soldiers, and he is not an opponent. ”

Between his words, he had already made a conclusion about the loss of the Panshi Village, and then he said: "But it is impossible for the thieves to station thousands of people in the small Panshi Village, and it must be known that there are only five or six thousand people near the Panshi Town, and it is absolutely impossible to support the army, at most three or four hundred thieves are stationed here. ”

"Is that true?" Ye Bingzhong was surprised and delighted: "If there are only three or four hundred thieves in the rock village, you will be sure of victory." ”

No matter how fierce the thieves are, they are just some armed farmers, all relying on the tactics of crowds to deal with the officers and soldiers, as long as they can cross the river bravely with a thousand soldiers, they can definitely take it, as for the barracks and fortifications of Panshi Village, after the attack of the red turban thieves, it is estimated that there is nothing left.

It's just that he hesitated again: "How to deal with the pirates at the mouth of the Oujiang River?" ”

Qinglian has already investigated clearly: "This group of pirates only operates in the Jiangkou area, and they do not go deep. No matter what you have to fight this rock village, the current momentum of the thieves must be to go north to solve the Dajing camp, the Dajing camp is lonely in the enemy, if it is lost, what should you do? Even if you lose in attacking Panshi Village this time, you will do your best! ”

Ye Bingzhong has already understood: "Yun Si is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire!" ”

As he was talking, someone came to report the emergency military situation: "Fuzhou Wang is in a hurry for 500 miles, and I have heard that the county town has fallen, and there are 2,000 thieves across the north of the river, and a battalion of elite soldiers has been sent to reinforce it." ”

"Good!" Ye Bingzhong had already clapped his hands and said: "This is really timely rain, when the elite of the battalion of the Governor arrives, he will immediately cross the river to counterattack." ”

He is now thinking about crossing the river to counterattack Panshizhai, but he also knows what kind of people under his command are, and if he doesn't let them have a good year, he will force them to cross the river to counterattack, and he will definitely not wait for the river crossing to start a mutiny.

Before crossing the river, the group of thieves who occupied the Panshi Village were carefully explored.

……

Rock Village. The fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Xianfeng.

In the personal resume, Xianfeng's participation in the Rainbow Army in December of the fourth year and Xianfeng's participation in the Rainbow Army in the fifth year are completely different concepts, and Xianfeng's participation in the Rainbow Army in the fourth year represents a special kind of seniority, which can be said to be the real father, and is the first-class hero who participated in the Yueqing counterinsurgency battle, the Nanxi battle and the Panshizhai battle.

So a few years later, many people who only brought one mouth to eat asked for clarification that they had joined the Hongjun in the fourth year of Xianfeng, but now they have caused Liu Chang a lot of trouble.

At present, Liu Chang's army is only 2670 people, but every day there are at least 500 mouths to eat, and sometimes even more than 600 people have to be served.

In this way, Liu Chang's economic pressure suddenly increased, and they couldn't figure out how many of the extra hundreds of mouths needed to be supplied, and how many of them were purely here to eat and drink.

You must know that the amount of labor in this era is also large, and it is easy to kill several bowls of rice in one go, Liu Chang has always advocated providing enough nutrition for the troops, not only for the troops to eat well, but also for the troops to be full, so not only the rice is full, but there are even fish and meat.

Therefore, Liu Chang quickly understood how the Daban canteen was eaten, and he had to gather the cadres to announce his solution: "The canteen must be separated, and it won't work if it's not separated!" Our officially registered officers and soldiers, whether it is the dragon lance whistle Nanxi whistle or the artillery team brave team, all give good food and drink, as long as I Liu eat meat, I will never let my brothers drink soup. ”

As for the extra hundreds of mouths, Liu Chang has an opinion: "I am willing to form a team to make a book, and I will also find a way to supply it under the command of my inspector, but I have to issue meal tickets every day, and no one can just mix in and eat." ”

"As for the no-kids, don't take advantage of me!"

As soon as Liu Chang said this, several cadres agreed, it was really too expensive, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but there would be so many more mouths in the back, Qu Jie nodded: "I'll listen to the inspection point, if it goes on like this, I'm going to be eaten!" ”

Huo Qiu reported a good news: "Check, I have already contacted several previous relationships, and we will go out to get salt after the New Year, this time the soldiers together, we Yueqing many official and private salt farms have a lot of salt, and they are worried that the road is not safe, we are willing to go over to buy salt, they are very happy, especially several government-run salt farms are begging us to hurry over, and the price guarantee can not be more affordable." ”

"The government-run salt works begging us to come over?" Liu Chang didn't understand the reason: "We bought the salt at a low price, how can they explain it to the top?" ”

"Tell me the truth, the red turban thieves have ransacked the salt farm, and even the salt farm in Jiangnan has greeted me, welcome us over, preferably with a red cloth wrapped around your head!"

He said again: "Don't look at the profits from selling salt, how much money can really fall into the hands of the salt farm." ”

Liu Chang nodded: "Then hurry up, don't procrastinate." ”

However, Liu Chang really didn't expect that his new canteen policy would cause such a big turmoil, and in just one day, there were nearly 100 fewer mouths to eat in the canteen.

It's just that now Panshi Village is not as chaotic as the previous two days, and there are 160 people who are willing to temporarily follow Liu Chang to eat a mouthful, including men, women, and children, but most of them are women, children, old, weak, sick and disabled.

Since Liu Chang managed them to eat, he had no choice but to learn from many peasant rebels who set up old camps, and set up several teams with reference to the methods of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
