Chapter 190: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron - Eating
Last year, Zhang Xianzhong besieged on all sides, Wang Shuji, Dujigui, and Ma Mingluan were directly adapted from the local security regiment, and later the loyal and righteous army expanded its army several times, and its strength sources also came from the local security regiment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now when I heard that two local security regiments were being prepared, some of them didn't think so, and some of them suddenly realized that this was a draw from the bottom of the kettle.
After screening, most of those left behind are old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is really difficult to rebel.
The security corps can be used to maintain law and order, transport baggage, and ensure the safety of the rear.
After receiving the order, Yang Wei immediately led a large team to the prisoner camp, because the war had just ended, and the prisoners had not yet been collected.
After showing the general order to the commander of the guard, looking at the dense prisoners in front of him, Yang Wei picked up a simple microphone and shouted loudly: "Brothers, my name is Yang Wei, I have been under the account of Funan General Zhang Wenxiu in the past, and I used to be the governor of the Great Western Army.
Brothers, do you want to eat the pot helmet? Brothers, do you want to eat white rice? ”
Everyone stood up one after another, and everyone looked at Yang Wei, who was riding on a war horse, wearing armor, and holding a microphone majestic, and his mouth was cracked, and some people shouted loudly, so that fools don't want to eat pot helmets and white rice.
Some swallowed their saliva, reminiscing about the taste of pot helmet and white rice, in the past, everyone often ate pot helmet and white rice dry rice, but in the past six months, everyone often drank porridge, and there was too little oil in the porridge, and many people were even more diarrhea.
Seeing that everyone's response was enthusiastic, and many people were full of envy, Yang Wei raised his big hand and signaled everyone to be quiet and continued: "Brothers, we followed the eight generations of kings and traveled thousands of miles from northern Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang to Sichuan, isn't it because the local officials are tyrannical and expropriating, regardless of whether we ordinary people live or die?" Isn't it because everyone has no way to live that they left their hometown and came to this land of Xishu?
But Wang Zhaolin's clever words confuse the lord, and the eight generations of kings are even more moody, not only killing loyal ministers who dare to speak loyally, but also killing many people who are as lonely and helpless as we used to be, just seeking to have enough to eat.
The people are not very disturbed, thousands of miles away from all over the country, everyone has opposed Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Zhaolin****, brothers, we should no longer be Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Zhaolin's accomplices, and don't help Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Zhaolin harm the people. ”
Just like in the previous life, Chinese people just don't like to express their views and become a silent majority, but everyone has been educated in loyalty, filial piety and shame since childhood.
Now when I hear Yang Wei say this, I especially see more than 100 soldiers under him raising their big hands and shouting, "Don't be Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Zhaolin's accomplices, don't help Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Zhaolin harm the people."
Everyone was frightened, first a few people raised their arms and shouted softly, but seeing that Yang Wei was in sight, many people were forced by him, and some were even more worried about being poisoned, so they also raised their arms and shouted.
After doing this seven or eight times, everyone felt refreshed, and the initial anxiety in their hearts had long since disappeared, and some even straightened up their waists, temporarily forgetting their identity as prisoners.
Yang Wei was overjoyed, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Brothers, very good, very good." Our adult Yang Xuan is a character like Zhuge Liang, although the adult is young, but at the age of fifteen, he is talented, and at the age of nineteen, he is a big soldier, and in less than three years, this loyal army has become a strong force in the world.
Everyone said that Zhuge Liang made wooden carts, oxen and horses, and did not need horses, and this wooden cart cattle and horses could move freely in the mountainous areas.
Brothers, I haven't seen this wooden cart, oxen and horses, but everyone has seen the tricycle that our adults built.
There is no need for horses at all, only one person needs to step on the front, this tricycle walks like flying on the road, dragging more things than horses, everyone likes to say, are we adults in the sky stars descending to earth, is Zhuge Kongming like a fairy figure? ”
In various ancient novels, in order to deify someone, it is often said that it is the star in the sky that descends to earth, and it is rumored that Bao Zheng is the star of Wenqu descending to earth, and Yue Fei is the reincarnation of Dapeng bird.
Even in the 80s of the twentieth century, the farmland area was still quite superstitious, and when it came to officials, many people thought that this was a god and that was a monster.
According to the propaganda materials of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty, didn't Zhang Xianzhong often say that he was sent down by Taishang Laojun to collect treacherous and cunning criminals?
When everyone heard Yang Wei say this, many people believed it, especially looking at this tricycle, it was amazing?
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Yang Wei announced that as long as he joined the security regiment, he would have enough food every day, and if he made meritorious service on the battlefield, or the next time the Loyal and Righteous Army was expanded, he would be given priority to be incorporated into the Loyal and Righteous Army, and at least he would have something to eat.
The loyal and righteous army has 1 tael and 5 yuan of silver every month, and the death and injury in battle are very generous.
Although the Great Western Army deliberately slandered, the treatment of the Loyal and Righteous Army had already spread far and wide, and Yang Wei was the governor of the Great Western Army in the past and was his own person, so everyone believed it even more.
In this way, Yang Wei appointed the captain of the 1st Squadron as the battalion commander of the Civil League, and appointed the three squad leaders of the 1st Squadron as the captains of the Civil League, and ordered them to select the best and strongest from them to form the militia battalion.
Quickly, these militia captains walked into the battle with the company commanders, and quickly designated the militia squad leaders to select and form the militia regiment.
Leaving the squadron leader to form a militia here, Yang Wei rode to other prisoner camps and quickly formed a new militia.
Those who were not selected to join the militia were led by Liu Liangchang and others with soldiers who guarded the prisoners to organize on-site farming.
At this time, on the other side of the river, Zhang Xianzhong jumped like thunder, stealing chickens could not become a handful of rice, Zhang Kewang and Wang Shangli led 50,000 soldiers and horses to sneak attack, originally thought that the horse would succeed, who expected that it would be defeated by the loyal army, and many people died, and the morale of the whole army was extremely low.
Although the loss is a lot of displaced people, in this troubled era of lack of food, a little less people will have less food, but a loss of 5,000 at once is still quite annoying.
Everyone sighed, Zhang Kewang and Wang Shangli were defeated, and Yang Xuan actually stopped the pursuit at the end, so that Zhang Xianzhong's carefully arranged ambush battle failed.
Looking at the arrangement of the loyal and righteous army, in addition to the Yao Zhijiao regiment and Wang Zhibang's regiment on the bank of the Xijiang River, Yang Xuan led the main force to retreat to the vicinity of Liaojiachang ten miles behind, backed by Genting City, relying on the folded mountains of the Chengdu Plain and the hills of central Sichuan, and fighting a decisive battle with the other party.
Just like Zhang Wenxiu's analysis, Yang Xuan was extremely cautious in his use of troops, and if the battle was unfavorable, he would inevitably leave a small number of soldiers and horses to guard Genting City and cover the withdrawal of the army.
Everyone is in a dilemma, someone suggested in their hearts to move the capital, Zhang Xianzhong initially established power in Wuchang, and then moved the capital to Chengdu, Sichuan, now the war is passive, it is better to move the capital.
But Zhang Xianzhong was brutal, and even Wang Zhaolin and others did not dare to persuade him like this.
Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong let out a burst of laughter, looked at the surprised crowd and said: "Since I started the army, there have been more than 100 large and small wars, and this Yang Xuan is really a fierce opponent in his life.
Yang Xuan wants to rely on Genting City as the base for a decisive battle, and I will press on the whole line and fight a decisive battle with it. ”
Zhang Kewang and Wang Shangli were immediately ordered to cross the Xijiang River from the upper and lower shoals, and together with Zhang Kewang's troops, they attacked the troops and horses along the river.
Seeing that the Great Western Army crossed the river from the upper and lower reaches to fight again, Yang Xuan urgently ordered Yao Zhijiao and Wang Zhibang to withdraw, and the army took Liaojiachang as the center and established a military camp within a radius of ten miles to build fortifications for defense.
Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to press on the whole front, and sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack in turn every day for several days after that.
Although it was in the plains, the Loyal and Righteous Army built strong fortifications, and each regiment not only dug three trenches, but also relied on tricycles and wheelbarrows to form a chariot formation in the trenches.
The two sides have been fighting for more than ten days, each with its own winners and losers.
