Section 298 Soldier bases
The recruits in Guangzhou, including the newly recruited 10,000 Banner Soldiers, are extremely enthusiastic about training, because the Banner People have not been engaged in production for more than 200 years, except for being soldiers, they have no ability to survive at all, and one good thing is that they are not as resistant to being soldiers as the Han people, and it is not their cultural tradition to be a good man or a soldier, they are doing this.

Therefore, when Mukdena confirmed that Zhu Jinglun did not rebel, they gave Zhu Jinglun a very high enthusiasm to be a soldier, whether it was the Eight Banners soldiers who had a military quota in the past, or the raising soldiers who did not have a military quota or even Yu Ding, almost all the young people of school age became soldiers, and now they are coveted to death every day by the black dogs and other officers who stayed in Guangzhou to train soldiers, but one by one they have no complaints, after all, they walk for a day every day (training pace), or stand still (standing in military posture), or even line up (queue training), there are five taels of silver every month, That's five times more than going to the dock, and no one wants to lose their jobs.
As for those Xin'an villagers, not to mention, these Xin'an recruits were recruited by Chen Quzhi from Xin'an, at that time, Zhu Jinglun was worried that Guangzhou was not enough troops and could not deter the banner people, so he asked Chen Quzhi to go back to recruit troops, and only recruited 10,000 people. However, these 10,000 people have long envied the high salaries of their companions in the Xin'an Army, and they are basically related to the veterans in the Xin'an Army, most of these recruits are with one of them, and even some of them are from the same village or the same clan, because when Chen Quzhi went back to recruit soldiers, the squires and clan patriarchs heard that Zhu Jinglun had rebelled, and it was strictly forbidden for the children of the family to join.
These Xin'an recruits have some foundation, during the anti-land cutting movement, they have been training for a year, many of them were sent by Zhu Jinglun to help them train, and now they have walked very neatly, those Eight Banners soldiers are a little unconvinced, probably the reason why their group of old soldiers are willing to train seriously.
It's just that the new recruits in Xin'an have been clamoring for rifles, but Zhu Jinglun can't provide them for a while, the arsenal has been producing at full capacity, but the technical workers are not mature enough, the defective rate is raised, and only about 300 can be produced every month, and now it is a priority to supply combat troops, so they can only be given some old guns, let them make do with practice, and tell them that as long as they train well, they can have new guns that can really fight.
The black dog is very dissatisfied with not being able to let him go to war, but Zhu Jinglun has his own considerations, the first black dog is the commander of the Wukeng Army, the Wukeng Army is composed of Hakka people, especially the Hakka people in Heshan, and now it is the Hui Army Heshan, these people are as deep as the sea with the local natives, let them fight, it is indeed easier to win, but the casualties caused are definitely greater, these people will definitely not leave their hands alone, they are more desperate to fight, not only their opponents but also themselves, they will definitely have more casualties, This is what Zhu Jinglun does not want to see.
In addition, Zhu Jinglun is very afraid that once these people kill the red eyes, it is impossible to be obedient, and the hatred that has been held for several years, once they defeat the Tuan Yong, what will they do, Zhu Jinglun will definitely have someone who ignores the military regulations and slaughters the prisoners, and then even counterattacks the territory of the Tuanren and creates a larger-scale fight.
Therefore, although Zhang Baoming insisted on asking the Wukeng Army to go back to help, Zhu Jinglun insisted on sending the Xin'an Army to fight on the grounds that the Wukeng Army was scattered to Zhaoqing, Chaozhou and other places and did not allow him to send his own soldiers back.
The training in Guangzhou City is going very smoothly, Zhu Jinglun feels that before the Qing court ends the political reshuffle and then frees up his hands to deal with Guangdong affairs, these people will be able to form combat effectiveness, as for which side these banner men will stand on at that time, let them choose for themselves, before they stand in line, Zhu Jinglun will not give them guns.
If they can show loyalty, it is excellent news for Zhu Jing, as soon as he thinks that when he goes to war with the Qing court in the future, there will be an army of eight banners to serve him, he is extremely expectant, when the Manchurians entered the customs, most of the troops who charged for them in front were the surrendered troops of the Ming Dynasty, such as Wu Sangui, most of the time they only need to follow behind to receive the city, every time they read this history, it makes Zhu Jinglun feel ashamed, if he can also do the same, it is a shameful way.
On the other side, Hou Jin and Fang Shan had already brought people to Heshan.
10,000 long-experienced soldiers, who have long been able to skillfully use the mainstream rifled rifles and flowering cannons in the West, are not some Tuyong who just bought some foreign guns and will not use them correctly can resist, these Tuyong just blocked the Hakka people in the mountains again, they were beaten from behind, and the Hakka Yong on the mountain took the opportunity to go down the mountain to attack, and in less than a day, they opened up the Hakka people's contact with the outside world and lifted the blockade.
Before, the Hakka people in Heshan had been hiding in the mountains, and the living conditions were quite difficult, and it was almost to the point when they couldn't hold on, it was under that kind of despair that they would join Zhu Jinglun's command without hesitation, regardless of whether Zhu Jinglun rebelled or not, and they had to accept Zhu Jinglun's harsh requirements, first helping Zhu Jinglun eliminate the elderly in Zhaoqing, and then Zhu Jinglun helped them regain the lost territory.
The Hakka people have fulfilled their promise, and now it is time for Zhu Jinglun to fulfill his promise.
Hou Jin opened the mountain pass, and the Hakka armed people descended the mountain in turn, cooperating with the Xin'an army, and marching towards their homeland.
The local Tuyong continued to fail, no matter how brave they were, they couldn't resist the tens of thousands of vengeful Hakka Lianyong, plus the Xin'an army with artillery, rifles and formal training, within ten days after descending from Huangmaobi, the Hakka people recovered the lost territory of the entire Yunxiang, and then marched towards Shuangqiao.
Yunxiang and Shuangqiao are the two settlements reserved by the Hakka people in Heshan County according to the township contract, and the land in other places has been abandoned, when the contract was signed, the Hakka people were in a disadvantageous state, and the senior took a few squires to find Zhu Jinglun in person, under the auspices of Zhu Jinglun, the agreement in Shuikou was established, and now their land has been recovered, but people are no longer the people of the past, and there are many old faces that can no longer be seen.
Tu Yong is not optimistic, they are these Tu Yong, after Xin'an County Yong withdrew, they saw the advantage, in Tan San's and other speculative landlords, under the flickering of the Tan third and other speculative landlords, they took up arms again, crossed the border stipulated in the township covenant, annexed the only two remaining strongholds of the Hakka people, and drove all the Hakka people into the mountains of Huangmaobi, they thought that they could be like Enping County, and all the Hakka land was taken back to themselves, but they found that they were wrong, Xin'an County Yong came back again, and they still couldn't fight, They still spit out the land they had annexed, and once again returned to the agreed territory, and many of their old faces were gone, and they all died in vain.
In the end, the Heshan squires who were at a disadvantage were invited by Fang Shan to the covenant monument again, and reaffirmed the agreement with the Hakka squires who were cold and cold, and swore not to invade each other, but only they knew who would trust each other.
Whether it is the village warrior who lost the battle, or the guest brave who finally recovered the land, although he is not a soldier, but he has been fighting for a long time, and he has more combat experience than a veteran, and the most important thing is that they will not be cowardly on the battlefield, as long as they carry out formal training, they are all good soldiers.
After reaffirming the agreement, Fang Shan led people to be stationed in various parts of Heshan, especially in Yunxiang and Shuangqiao, where the Tuke forces were intertwined, just at their border, and set up a camp in this village, and then began to recruit soldiers.
Regardless of Tuke Xiangyong, Fang Shan did not refuse to accept all the orders, but Fang Shan told these surrendered soldiers that they had to let their clan or squires give them insurance, otherwise they would not accept it, if they were homeless, they could find their own relatives to have insurance, if they didn't even have relatives, then there was no way, such unorganized elements, the Xin'an Army has always refused to accept them.
Fortunately, the clan organizations in Guangdong have always been very strong, even if there are occasional homeless people from other places, it is impossible to have no organization, people are social animals, it is impossible to survive alone, at least there is an organization, even if it is to be a tenant, there should be a landlord.
In fact, most of these Tuke villagers also left the land in the Tuke fight, and the vast majority of them were peasants, because the Tuke fight made them lose their land, or let their clan, or let their landlords lose their land, they were organized after they lost their jobs, trained to become village warriors, and then joined the extremely tragic fight.
According to the information of Hakka leaders such as Li Yanan, they believe that the number of Turen Tuanyong who surrounded them in Heshan County is as high as 30,000, if it were not for Tan Cai and others who were recruited by Zhang Qianshan, there would be 50,000 Tuyong in the Heshan area alone.
These people not only have Heshan, Kaiping, Enping, Xinning, Gaoming, Gaoyao, and even Yangjiang people who are not involved in the Tuke weapon fight but provide a large number of people in the Tuke weapon fight, almost all the surrounding counties, because the root cause of the Tuke weapon fight is the contradiction between man and land, Heshan and other counties are few and many, and the surrounding counties are basically like this, so there is a large number of surplus labor, these people have nothing to do, and if there is no cultivated land, participating in group training has become their best occupation.
The highest peak of the Turkish and guest weapon fighting, both the Turkish and the guest, have more than 100,000 troops, even if it is only here in Heshan now, if both the Turkish and guest sides are recruited by Zhu Jinglun in the future, the number is probably about 100,000, the number is really huge, it can be said that this place has now become Zhu Jinglun's military base in fact.
At that time, it was necessary to pay 100,000 people military salaries and supply combat and living materials, which was really an unbearable burden for Zhu Jinglun now. (To be continued.) )
