Chapter 62: Little Nanjing

Guo Xing'a lived very comfortably in his Zhongjun tent, Minnie washed his feet and beat his legs, Tianni refilled the water and lit a cigarette, and Guo Xing'a sat on his back and hummed coolly. The brothers Fuquan and Fushun could only stand aside like ornaments, and Guo Xing'a no longer needed their services.

The captured cook of Huang Daping was outside the tent, sweating and roasting a leg of mutton for Guo Xing'a. The soldiers of the four guard squads watched him, and he had to take a bite of each condiment before adding it, and he was not allowed to drink water to prevent him from hiding an antidote. The fat cook is not Huang Daping's cronies, he was also captured by Huang Daping, and there will be a desire to avenge Huang Daping. But the Qing army still had to guard against him, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no one who could cook, they would have pulled him out and cut him down a long time ago. The chef who ate five mouthfuls of salty salt and three mouthfuls of chili noodles only drank oil was really miserable. But he didn't dare to cut corners, if the condiments were less, Guo Xing'a would be unpalatable, and he wouldn't even have the opportunity to eat salty salt.

"My lord, Xishou picked someone back, and he said that he found a few people with particularly poor backgrounds, and he wanted to take them to report to your face." Zhang Yi walked into the military tent and interrupted Guo Xing'a, who was humming and chirping.

"I don't have eyes, pick a few rough girls to bother adults, he likes to be stupid, right? You're too, just send him away, don't you see the lack of adults? The impatient Guo Xing Ah just rolled his eyelids, and Fushun, who was much smarter than his brother, had already come out to scold Zhang Yi.

"Forget it, Xishou is still careful, let him bring someone over later. Fushun, you little ghost has also trained you Brother Zhang Yi, if he beats you out of the military tent, I don't care! Guo Xing'a smiled and teased Fushun. The status of the Fushun brothers is relatively special, they are the people raised by Guoxing's family, not to mention the general flag ding, and it is common for the family of Zuo Ling to reprimand Mu Shun for the kind of Xiao riding school.

"Hey, hey! Brother Zhang Yi knows that righteousness will not beat me, if he beats me, I will run, he can't catch up with me. When Fushun faced Guo Xing'a, he immediately changed to a child's expression and smiled hippie.

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly, saluted Guo Xing'a again, and turned around to go out to call Xishou. After a while, Xishou brought more than a dozen girls in, and stood in front of the Guoxing Ashuai case in a row like a beauty pageant, and a few of them had already stood outside the military tent.

"My lord, this is the person who picked it this time, you have seen it!" Xishou always seemed to have that flattering smile on his face, and he didn't mention anything about his poor background.

Looking at the group of fifteen or sixteen little girls in front of him, Guo Xing'a understood that there were any poor people there, Xishou had picked a good person, and sent it to choose for himself first. This is also where the Xishou Club does things, the first leader asks you to purchase benefits, and when you come back after buying something, of course, you have to let the first leader pick it first. If the first leader doesn't pass it, you will give it a share, and then the second-in-command will be better than the first-in-command, and you will have nothing to do with purchasing benefits in the future.

Guo Xing'a read it again, Xishou must have been careful to pick people, these girls are similar in age to Guo Xing'a, and the oldest is sixteen or seventeen. The looks are also good, all of them are fair-skinned and have good facial features. However, although there are beauties in Jiangnan, they can't all be stunning, and these girls are just eye-catching, and they can't compare to the surprise of the Tianni sisters at all.

"Hmmm! Not bad! If you have worked hard, you can just look at the personnel above the battalion level! One or two people, don't have too much, and the rest will be assigned to the medical platoon to do some light work! Although he didn't like it, Guo Xinga still appreciated the practice of Xishou.

"Huh!" Xishou saw the two beauties beside Guoxing'a, and knew that he had run for nothing this time, but fortunately, the eldest master of the Zuoling could not please him, and the second master of the Xiao Riding School would accept his affection.

"My lord, Changlu is back." It's still Zhang Yi who came in, but his attitude is much more serious than before.

"Quick!" Guo Xing'a has been waiting to go out and track the echo of Huang Daping's special operations team.

"Xishou, go down first! Fushun, you can also take the two of them down to rest! Goxinga sat up straight and began to clear the field.

"Huh!" Looking at Guo Xing'a, who suddenly became serious, everyone retreated silently.

After everyone retreated, the dusty Changlu, supported by several guards and soldiers, walked into the military tent and saluted Guoxing A.

"How?" Guo Xinga asked eagerly.

"Lord Hui, my subordinates ran and killed five horses, and finally caught up with Huang Daping." Changlu is really tired enough.

"Where is he?" Guo Xing'a was a little scared, Huang Daping ran out so far at once, don't go to find helpers! If you really bring more than 10,000 people back to settle accounts with yourself, it will be a big trouble.

"I scratched my tongue and asked to understand, little Nanjing." The actual place name should be "Xiaotianjing", but just like Nanjing, how do you change the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing army is still called Jiangning or Nanjing. This little Tianjing, naturally, has to be called Little Nanjing.

"Nanjing?" Guo Xing'a was really startled, this Huang Daping went directly to his boss Hong Xiuquan.

"It's not Nanjing City, it's a big town two hundred miles away, because everything is in accordance with Nanjing's regulations and it's quite rich, and the long hair has a nickname called Little Nanjing." Changlu hurriedly explained.

"What's different?" Guoxing Ah didn't believe that the Taiping army in a town could still make a heavenly king's mansion.

Changlu could only explain in detail the special features of this small Nanjing. Little Nanjing still implements the system of men's halls and women's halls, and all families are separated, regardless of age, men are assigned to the men's battalion as soldiers, and women are assigned to serve in the women's battalion. Husband and wife father and son are separated by a knot, husband and wife cannot coexist, mother and son cannot see each other, men and women cannot have a word of intercourse, if there is a conversation, it is fornication, and it is immediately executed. All the people's goods were confiscated and turned over to the holy treasury, and even clothing and other things were to be distributed uniformly. There are those who disobey, light the sky lantern, and those who cry and complain, and they are beheaded and left behind. Banner people, wealthy households, monks, nuns, and Taoists, whether they are thieves or not, will be slaughtered all over the house, and those who see it will be killed.

Then there is the fact that all acres of land are returned to the public, and the men and women alternately work in the fields, and all the output is handed over to the holy treasury, and individuals only receive monthly rations. All academies and temples were burned down, and the people converted to the Shinnagao Hair cult, prayed daily, and sang the so-called "poems of the Heavenly Father". Weddings and funerals will be suspended, even if the lonely old are mourned, they must also be reported to the two Sima before they can be buried. Moreover, all the people in the city of Little Nanjing are soldiers, and men over the age of 16 have called cards, all of them are male battalion soldiers, and women are the same. Those who are over 60 years old or under the age of 16 are called pai tails and are subject to hard labor.

In the early days, these systems were implemented everywhere the Heavenly Kingdom went, but they were abolished in the later period, and most places did not do so. However, this little Nanjing has always insisted that the soldiers and the property handed over are higher than those of other places, so it has the nickname of Little Nanjing.

"How many people are there in this little Nanjing?" Goxinga's scalp is a little numb, and the fanatical believers are not easy to mess with.

"No less than 10,000 people!" Changlu was also a little embarrassed.

"How's the city defense?" Guo Xing'a felt that Huang Daping's troops to settle accounts with him were enough.

"Although it is a big town store, the city can be compared to the county governance, and the city is high and the defense is quite tight." Changlu visually inspected the city walls of Little Nanjing.

"Where's the equipment?" Goxinga began to smack his teeth.

"I haven't figured this out yet, but there's a gun emplacement at the head of the city." Changlu hadn't been into the city again, so of course he didn't know.

Guoxing asked the cook to take the roast leg of lamb to Changlu first, and he sat down and didn't speak. Whether to kill Huang Daping or quickly find a place to move is a question for Guo Xing'a. With 700 people to get 10,000 people, even if there are many old and weak women and children on the other side, this difficulty is not ordinary. But where can you move? The enmity between himself and Huang Daping is too big, if you don't die, this matter will definitely not be over.

Looking at Changlu, who was gnawing on a leg of mutton with teeth, Guo Xing'a shook his head and smiled: "This reckless person! ”

Thinking of the word "Mang", Guo Xing'a suddenly remembered a person, Wang Mang, the founding emperor of the new dynasty. Many people say that this guy is also a traverser, but everyone has been arguing about when Wang Mang was before he crossed over. Some people say that Wang Mang crossed over when he first founded the country, so he is more familiar with the country's policies, but the history is not very good, so he doesn't know that he is a tragedy that his brain will become a handicraft. But some people also say that Wang Mang crossed after the reform and opening up, otherwise a common man at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China would not know so much detail. The explanation for him knowing that he is a tragedy and daring to come is that if one day you cross over and become an emperor, do you want to gamble, in case you win! Manly man, this is the fight.

Guo Xing'a has been gambling since he crossed, if he didn't want to make a profit, Guo Xing'a could also live a peaceful life. As long as you don't die in the south of the Yangtze River, you can also be a gentleman when you return to the north. At this time, the medical conditions, Guo Xing'a did not live to the life of the warlords of the Qing Dynasty, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Damn, fight, it's a heartbeat!" Guo Xing'a was ruthless and said to himself.

"Your Excellency?" Changlu, who gnawed on the leg of mutton and gnawed his face full of oil, didn't hear what Guo Xing'a said.

"Fuquan, call Mu Shun, Xirab, Chengtai, and Kong Zhen to me!" Guo Xinga made up his mind to play the hanging.

"Huh!" Fuquan prefers Guo Xing's decisive appearance now, rather than the cheap look in front of the Tianni sisters, so his answer is particularly powerful.

"Wait! No need to call Kong Zhen! Guo Xing'a gave up the idea of bringing artillery, and it was better to stabilize the treasure at the bottom of the box.

"Huh!" For Guo Xing's Ah is not called Kong Zhen, Fuquan is a little sorry. Looking at Guo Xing'a's appearance, he knew that he was going to fight a big battle, and it was a pity that Kong Zhen couldn't participate. After all, Kong Zhen is the one who went out of Fuquan's guard class, Fuquan still hopes that he can go further, there are already two platoons, and with some credit, Kong Zhen can also have a company-level treatment.

"Your Excellency, what are you?" Changlu looked at Guo Xing with some puzzlement.

"Lao Tzu will take you to ride a hundred!" Guo Xing said in high spirits.

Soon after Mu Shun, Shirab, Chengtai and others entered the military tent in Goxinga, they issued an order to add meat and wine to the dinner of the cavalry company, assault company, special operations squad, and guard squad, and at the same time ordered the above troops to rest immediately after dinner.

The troops cheered with wine and meat, but the infantry battalions lamented that their lives were not as good as men. After the snoring was everywhere, everyone except the soldiers standing guard slept very soundly, and everyone felt that it was just an ordinary night of celebration after the great victory. Only Tianni, who lived in an independent tent with her sister, knew that the military tent in Goxinga was lit up all night that night.

Early the next morning, the cavalry company, assault company, special operations squad, and guard squad were all gone, and Guo Xing'a also disappeared into the military tent, leaving only two orders. First, the supply company, infantry battalion, and artillery platoon hurriedly marched to follow, aiming directly at Little Nanjing. At the same time, Guo Xing'a left his Yanling knife to Fengsheng'a, and anyone who violates military discipline, no matter who it is, does not need to ask for an order to correct the law on the spot. Second, all female dependents should move with the supply company, and those who broke away from the team would be discarded. Of course, this does not include the Tianni sisters, Guo Xing Ah specially arranged horses for the two of them. At the same time, Guo Xing'a also left Xishou with a dagger, and the Qing army, which had loosened the belt of his trousers, would also be executed on the spot without asking for an order if he had any behavior of harassing the female dependents.

There was a hustle and bustle in the camp where the camp was raised, and everyone knew that Guoxing Ayou was going to play big. But no one was very nervous, they were an army that had never been defeated, and even many of the ruffians were looking forward to the gold and silver and the beautiful women in the next town.

The Tianni sisters rode horses, escorted by Xishou's own soldiers, left their hometown where they grew up, and ran to the unknown distance with the troops on the rapid march.
