Chapter 57: Lao Tzu is also drunk!
PS: The third update!! Ask for a collection. From 11 to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, only four collections were added to the three-hour prime time, and it was about to collapse. Brothers and sisters, for the sake of our resolute anti-Qing efforts, pull brothers along!
……
Liang Zhiqiang dragged a pair of lead-filled legs and walked hard. This morning, I set out from the county seat, and Lord Li ordered that before the sun went down, we must arrive at Tumenji. He touched his mouth up and down lightly, and along the way in a sedan chair, the leaders of the militia were either riding horses or donkeys, and small shrimp like Liang Zhiqiang would suffer a big crime. At noon, there were two breads and a bowl of salty soup, and I was not hungry at all, and now not only my legs were about to be my own, but my stomach was also gurgling when I was hungry.
Liang Zhiqiang is now looking forward to when he can go to Tumenji, have a good meal, and sleep well.
There are still many people like Liang Zhiqiang in the entire militia team, who are walking and shaking. Half a month ago, they were honest farmers who were digging in the yellow earth, and if it weren't for their lord who made them anxious, they would be busy ending the autumn harvest now.
The landlord used money and promises to turn them into village warriors and volunteers, but he could not complete the transformation from peasants to soldiers in just ten days. The real backbone of this militia of the counties are still those scoundrels who were born as ruffians, as well as the guards in the hands of the gentry and the famous local warriors.
The former does not need to be said, the militia is not an army, and the leader pursues a temporary combat effectiveness. These ruffians, who often fought and brawled, were obviously more effective than honest peasants. These people are the cannon fodder force of the militia, and then there are also a large number of tenant farmers, who will honestly obey the command of the militia leader, because their livelihood depends on the family of the leader. For example, Liang Zhiqiang, the second young master of his main family is one of the leaders of the Jiaxian militia group.
Finally, there are the most trusted teams of the militia leaders - their homes. Every militia leader is surrounded by such a group of people. Finally, there is the martial artist, which can also be said to be a martial artist, or even a martial artist. These people have prestige in the local area, and they may not be able to overwhelm the 'heroes' in terms of their family background, but each of them is a strong beam!
In the command of the war, such a person has a great say.
Liang Zhiqiang is in good health, he is the main labor force in the family, and when he has free time, he will go out to do a job, he can do carpenter's skills, and he can also be a mason. But this kind of manual labor is completely different from marching. Liang Zhiqiang can do farm work in the fields for a day hungry, and he can work on the construction site for a day without eating a grain of rice, but he can't walk 30 miles a day.
The march of troops is not the same as walking alone. If you walk alone, you can walk faster at first, and you can sit down and rest when you are tired, but you can't walk in a large group. You can't walk fast at first, and you can't rest when you're tired.
The physical strength of man is depleted little by little in the state of procrastination and long walks at the beginning. When the stamina drops to the cordon, the whole team feels like a pile of garbage.
On the Phoenix Stage, Chen Ming looked at Tumenji and said to Chen Erbao with a smile: "Now if we appear outside Tumenji, how many prisoners do you say we can capture?" "In order not to shake the Qing government, the Chen family is now purely tied with their feet and let one hand fight with the other party, and the IQ in their heads may also be lowered by 180 points. Otherwise, how can it appear that the Chen family is incompetent? Otherwise, how can Wang Jun, Li Zhao and others still think they have a grasp of it?
Just like when Chen Ming visited Chang Rui at night at the county government after the accident, Chang Rui was vigilant against him - don't think that Chang Rui didn't make any moves, it's just that Chen Ming's movements were faster and more unstoppable, and he took Chang Rui into the ditch in waves-If you want to reassure the officials, you have to show yourself in the minds of this group of officials!
So Chen Ming needs to be 'stupid'. He could not rush into Tumenji with his own team at this time to capture the prisoners.
"Paralyzed, the rebellion fell to my part, and Lao Tzu is also drunk!"
Throwing away the wooden stick in his hand, Chen Ming clapped his hands and left. He doesn't have to be on duty tonight, and he won't need to be on duty tomorrow night. He is not from Fenghuangtai at all, Chen Erbao is the first commander here, and Chen Ming is obviously staying in Fenghuangtai now to 'see' blood to deal with the militia in Ruzhou.
Chen Ming's real location is in Tiezhai, and what he wants to do is to look at the overall situation.
After this trip to 'falling grass', Uncle Wutang's right to speak was weakened a lot, and in fact, Chen Hui's own right to speak was also weakened a lot, but his good son earned it back for him.
Chen Ming cut off Zhou Tianyi's head with a knife in front of everyone such as the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Second Uncle, which can make the Chen family honest for at least a month or two. In the following winter, these people of the Chen family who were on the mountain at the moment did not know how many people would not be on the mountain years ago. In the next few months, the struggle for power and profit will no longer be necessary for Chen Ming.
As long as he controls his force, it's OK. The iron-making and ordnance production, and even the food logistics, can be completely taken care of by his father.
Chen Ming only needs to prevent his cheap big brother from showing up again.
He doesn't want to be the second Li Shimin, even if Chen Gang's identity is a concubine, he can't be compared with Li Jiancheng, who is both a grandson and a long-term son.
Chen Ming has already asked the second uncle to start preparing for the school, and among the people who are now going up the mountain, all the grades under the age of twelve will roll to the school to 'return to the furnace and rebuild', and Chen Gang will be one of the teachers.
- Although Chen Ming didn't know how long he would stay in Funiu Mountain. But it was always useful, and it also found a suitable position for Chen Gang.
Simplified characters appear in these schools - Simplified characters have long existed in China, and even in the private letters of many literati and artists, there are a large number of simple characters, but on official documents and texts, simple characters are absolutely not allowed.
What Chen Ming needs is not a group of talented people, but just a group of people who can read and count. Therefore, what Chen Ming asked the school to hand over was simplified Chinese. No matter how destructive this simplified Chinese character is to China's 'traditional cultural civilization', at least in terms of cultural dissemination, it is much more efficient than traditional Chinese characters;
Arithmetic is also taught in the school, not to mention Chen Hui's subordinates, but only that among the children of the Chen family, some of them are old and can't take turns with knives and guns, and these people are used as math teachers to teach Arabic numerals. He taught them first;
Finally, the school should teach military drills, and no matter whether these children will be soldiers or do something else in the future, there is no harm in learning military drills when they are young.
Li Xiaomei has now moved to Tiezhai, the old lady and the Gao family have also moved to Tiezhai, Qingfeng Zhai is too far away, if the threat of the government is not great, Tiezhai is the most suitable for them to settle down. Moreover, their 'appearance' can also calm the hearts of the people to a certain extent.
Chen Hui is also in Tiezhai now, Chen Gang's family, as well as Chen Cong's family, and so on, are all in Tiezhai.
Chen Hui was very confident in his own force, and if he didn't take the 800 militia group summoned by the Ruzhou government in his eyes, as long as there was no Manchu army to suppress him, he would not retreat into the mountains.
