Chapter 69: I Want a Man
"Let Bi Yuntao bring a company of reinforcements to the assault company to strengthen the defense of the men's battalion, and we must not let the men's battalion be chaotic. Let Tong Jia intercept it in sections, don't seek to block it, just delay those women. Tell Mu Shun and Shirab not to rush into action, go get some wooden sticks first, just drive these women back, and try not to kill people. Goxinga fastened his belt and began to check the bullets in his pistol.
"Huh!" Fuquan agreed, and ran out like the wind again.
"Sir, kill!" Xiande jumped out again, and Feng Sheng'a hugged his shoulders on the side and didn't speak. Guo Xing'a rolled his eyes and ignored Xiande, and hurriedly walked down the drum tower.
The entrance of the women's camp was very lively, and thousands of mothers-in-law were crying and shouting. Tong Jia's handling method is also appropriate, it is estimated that it is the memory of being beaten out by the Taiping Army guerrillas, Tong Jia also asked the Qing army to copy up the bricks, blocking the passage around the women's camp is a smash.
These women have been trained by the Taiping Army for a while, and their physical fitness and reflexes are not bad, but no one can dodge the rain-like bricks, and it is pitiful that these women are smashed and cry wolf. After all, women can't rush against the bricks like men, and after a few blows, these women retreat. But after all, they were outnumbered, and they soon began to fight back with the bricks thrown by the Qing army, and the Qing army could not drive them back.
Normally, the regular army with loaded guns and a group of organized shrews threw bricks at each other across the street, like children in a school having a snowball fight. After Guo Xing'a arrived, he had to wait for Fuquan to go to the Taiping army's arsenal to get a few shields before he dared to continue advancing. The sky is full of flying bricks! If Guoxing'a is not protected by a shield, he may be smashed through such a street again.
"Sisters, aunts, I am the chief general of the Qing army, Guo Xing'a, I have something to say!" Supported by the shields on all sides, Goxinga bared his head and shouted to the other side.
"What do you have...... I'll go! ......" Guo Xing'a shouted half a sentence again, and a brick had already flown straight towards his front door, if it wasn't for Fuquan's shield to block it, Guo Xing'a would have broken his appearance.
"You can ask for it, violence will not solve the problem!" Goxinga in particular needs a battery horn.
"Your Excellency, you can use this!" Tong Jia found a tin bucket very intimately, kicked a few times to make a simple tin horn and handed it to Guo Xing'a.
"Everything is easy to discuss, we don't want to hurt you......" Guo Xing'a wanted to say a few more words, and more than a dozen bricks had already flown over with the sound of the wind, and the smashed shields clanged.
The rumbling of horses' hooves sounded, and Mushun and Shirab rushed over with their cavalry. The cavalry put away their usual swords, and one of them carried a stick the thickness of a mouth, and waited for the infantry to get out of the way, and they were about to disperse the girls. Guo Xing'a's shouting was not very useful, but the sound of the horse's hooves was very effective, and even the soil on the eaves shook down, and the women naturally lost their voices.
"Big sisters, you see, we don't want to hurt you. You can ask for anything, but if you resist, I will order the cavalry to charge, and don't do anything stupid! Guo Xinga took the opportunity to shout wildly.
"Buzz Buzz ......" on the other side began to reply to Guoxinga in words instead of bricks, but there were too many people, everyone was talking, and Guoxinga couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Very good, big sisters, you can make requests, and I will try to accommodate you." No matter what they say, it's the right thing to do first.
"Buzz...... Men, men, 、......" It was difficult for these women to choose a person who represented the group, and they buzzed for a while, and finally shouted out two words "man" neatly.
Guo Xing's eyes almost didn't fall to the ground, which was too unrestrained. The reason why these women rioted was that they wanted men, and they didn't have a serious military record if they knew it, so why bother! But these thousands of women, there are more than 700 people under their own hands, it's too hard! The other people on the Qing army's side had even more sparkling eyes, and it was the first time they had seen such an active woman, and after a period of fantasy, it was inevitable that they would be hot all around. A few brains are active, and it is still counted as a question that one person can divide few.
"How many men do you want, can you divide them into batches? I have official business under my command, so I can't be with you all at once! After Guo Xing'a finished shouting, he felt like a pimp.
"Buzz...... Buzz...... "The women were noisy again.
"Stinky and shameless...... Adulterous thief...... Obscene ......" Guo Xing'a thought that the other side was still discussing the distribution, but the other side had already scolded him.
"It's not you who want men, who is indecent! You are unreasonable! "Guo Xing is right.
"I want men from our own family...... Their own men ......" the women finally made it clear. After the Taiping army entered the city, they separated their husbands and wives, and the mother and son separated, and now they want their men back.
Guo Xing'a frowned and stopped talking, he could understand the women's feelings, after all, when they surrendered, Guo Xing'a promised to let them be good people. Since it is to be a common people again, it is also necessary to reunite flesh and blood, and it is indeed unreasonable for Guoxinga to continue to engage in the separation of men and women. At first, it was also because they were originally separated, and it was convenient for the Qing army to settle and manage, so they continued to implement male and female battalions.
"My lord, once the bandits merge, it will be even more powerful, and our army cannot control it, so it is categorically unable to respond. Let the cavalry disperse these! Kill some people, put a few shots, and don't be afraid that they will be dishonest. Xiande was afraid that Guoxinga would be shaken.
"My lord, there are too many of them, once they merge, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to control!" Feng Sheng's Ah didn't want to agree either.
"Do you say that it is easier to deal with people who drag their families and bring their mouths, or is it easier to deal with singles?" Goxinga asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, it is a drag on the family, the old and weak have to be taken care of, and if you take care of it too much, it is naturally easy to deal with!" Feng Sheng replied that he also understood.
"Big sisters, your request is reasonable, I agree!" Guo Xing'a didn't bother anymore and shouted at the women.
"Good...... Oh......" The women cheered, and then they were about to rush forward, but they were stopped back by the bricks of the Qing army.
"Let us go...... You lied ......" The women were angry and emotionally hurt.
"Big sisters, return you men, I can't just let you go, we all have a charter." Goxinga explained.
The women stopped talking, and they all looked at Guo Xing'a directly, listening to him say how to get back their man.
"Big sisters, you have been so chaotic in the past, even if you find your own man, what will you do? You can't just mess around! It is inconvenient for men and women to live together. You will be divided into groups of relatives and friends, a group of ten people, and I will let the men's camp do the same. Then you come out in groups, and I'll take you to the men's camp to find someone. Find a good person and go home to live, okay? You're all locals, so you know where your home is! If the house is destroyed, I will also arrange a place for you to live, can you see it? "Goxinga said his plan.
"You broke us apart to poison us!" Most of the women are stupidly happy, and they have already begun to call friends and prepare to form a team, but there are also some who are not very confident about the Qing army.
"You guys are too worried, if I want to poison the hand, then use such trouble, how powerful the cavalry musket is, you have seen it! I've got a lot of cannons! A few shots down, and you'll have a few people left. You are also forced by the long hair, I sincerely give you a chance to reform yourself! Guo Xinga said patiently.
"Thank you, sir!" After all, some people are not at ease, but most of them have already knelt down and thanked Guoxing.
What Guo Xinga said is simple, but when it comes to implementation, it is not simple at all. Fortunately, the men's camp arrived, the original establishment was not disrupted, and after the simple distribution, almost all of them gathered in their own neighborhoods. The women's battalion is in chaos, and their establishment has long since dispersed after several chaos. When you were in the group, you were your relatives and my close friends, you were good with me, I was good with her, and what if there was an awkward quarrel in the neighborhood. A small thing in a group, I haven't figured it out for three days. It was not easy for the Qing army to rush into the women's pile, so as not to cause misunderstanding, so they could only toss and turn until the fifth day, and they were awkwardly divided into groups.
When the first group of women helped the old and the young out of the camp gate, and when they were escorted by the Qing army to the men's camp, they inevitably trembled, for fear that the Qing army would have some tricks. But when they arrived at the men's camp and reported the name of the man in the family, the Qing army reported to the men's camp, and after watching their men come out, the women had no estimates, and they could only cry bitterly when they hugged their men. The Qing army waited for them to cry almost, and then took them back to their homes, gave them two meters from each house, and then let them complain to each other at home. However, when the Qing army left, there was an explanation, and now that martial law is on, they are only allowed to stay at home and not go out.
After walking a few groups, both prisoner of war camps were boiling, and they were happier than anything to be able to reunite with their families. There were not only weeping women at the door, but also weeping men. The grouping is not divided by the computer, and it is inevitable that there will be wrong numbers, and the women's battalion is okay to say. It is inevitable that a few men will come out of the men's camp, and when they see other people's husbands and wives reunited, they can only stare dryly, but fortunately, in the end, most of them can wait until their own homes are small.
After more than ten days of speed dating, most of the people were finally sent home, but in the end, there were still some people left in the men's and women's camps. There were about 300 people left in the men's camp and more than 100 people in the women's camp. Guoxing Ake didn't take it lightly, and let the neighbors admit it without a family member. The rest of the people had to tell their addresses and their neighbors, and then the Qing army would find his neighbors to recognize. If you can't even find your neighbors, let your relatives and friends recognize them. After another group of men was dispatched, there were still about 30 people left in the women's battalion and about 200 men in the men's battalion, all of whom had no neighbors, relatives or friends, and were unclaimed.
Xiande and the others thought that Guo Xing'a would choose a place to settle them, or directly absorb these people, but Guo Xing'a only said one word: "Kill!" ”。
Although some of the houses in the city were demolished by Bi Yuntao, and many people died in the war, no one could have died as clean as relatives, friends and neighbors, and the only explanation was that these unclaimed people were outsiders. The reason why these outsiders can come here can only be because they came with the Taiping Army, and they are the backbone of the Taiping Army.
They were the ones who wanted to stir up trouble with the prisoners of war a few times, and these people were the last destabilizing factor in the city. If they were to be taken back as prisoners of war, there would be a change on the way, and it would not be realistic to walk that far with a few hundred prisoners. Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to kill, and Goxinga's heart has already hardened in the war.
When dealing with it, Guo Xing'a held a public trial, and there were soldiers of the Qing army standing on the streets of the city, and when Guo Xing'a said a sentence on the drum tower, they repeated it on the street to ensure that everyone in the city could hear it clearly.
"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, who destroyed your homeland, who caused you to separate your wives and daughters, who took away your property and forced you to work hard. It's long-haired! It's the long hair of these powerful and prostitute women. I, Guo Xing'a, represent the imperial court today, and give everyone justice. The first evil has been punished, but the evil is eliminated. Today, I will kill all the long hairs in this city, and return everyone to a good day. Guo Xinga felt that he used his analogy well.
"Kill!" Countless shouts echoed throughout the city.
Desperate wails rang out from the men's and women's camps,* and the characteristic gunfire rang out intensively.
A convoy of forty or fifty people and several carriages approached the south gate of the small town.
