Although the war is chaotic, people always have to live. This is just out of the first month, Huangzhou Mansion will slowly recover some vitality, although the market has not completely restored the previous prosperity, but such as rice grain shops and other shops have slowly opened the market in the past ten days, at the beginning, those who finally escaped the catastrophe of the shopkeeper, there are still some worries, but slowly they found that in addition to the city changed the king flag, it seems that there is not much impact.
Of course, not everyone has not been affected, at least for the shaver, their business is affected, "do not shave the head in the first month - dead uncle (thinking of the old)", from the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no shaving in the first month, in previous years, out of the first month into February, is the busiest time for the shaver, but now, the shaver in the city of Huangzhou is sad and resentful, and the prefect yamen posted a notice.
"Those who shave their heads and keep braids are traitors! Heavy penalties! ”
For the people of Huangzhou who have just gone through a military disaster, the simple word "punishment" is not even inferior to the word "kill", so naturally no one dares to shave their heads, in fact, it is not that everyone does not shave their heads, at least, in the military camp outside the city, those newly recruited volunteers are brave, but they have to cut off their braids, and then shave their hair like the monk.
In fact, in the current Huangzhou City, many people are relying on the business of the righteous soldiers, so that they have to make a living, just like the wiring village in this city, it is also doing the business of the righteous army, in some of the small wiring villages on the street, often full of tailors, all kinds of fabrics, the soldiers are in chaos, and the business is also average, but in fact, there are several daughters-in-law and girls in it, who are sewing clothes with needles, The clothes were sewn for the righteous soldiers, no, they were military uniforms.
The style of the military uniform was different from the old-fashioned uniform, and even the stitches were different, Western-style style, Western-style stitches, although for these women, the style of the dress was good, and the stitches were very fresh, but in just a few days, they sewed out the clothes they wanted in the house according to the requirements.
In just a few days, thousands of blue cloth military uniforms sewn by these women were sent to the barracks outside the city, although most of the soldiers in the camp were recruits, but after these recruits changed into new military uniforms, they showed a bit of momentum, especially when the sound of "kill" was shouted, it was even more shocking people's hearts.
"It's finally a little bit like that!"
Standing in the barracks, looking at the soldiers training in the snow, Zhu Yifeng's expression was slightly proud, but it only took nine days, and his "righteous army", which had only been trained for more than ten days and armed with red tassel guns, "swept" the entire Huangzhou Mansion. Speaking of sweeping, it is not false, whether the other party took the initiative to abandon the city and flee, this Huangzhou Mansion was indeed "swept" by itself.
"It's just that the equipment is too rudimentary......"
Isn't that too simple?
Although they are now wearing blue "new military uniforms", they are only equipped with red tassel guns, and each of them has an eight-foot long red tassel gun. However, the red tassel gun also has the benefits of the red tassel gun, compared with the two-handed big knife, the red tassel gun does not need to be wielded significantly, and even does not need skills, it is more convenient for multiple people to work together, and the use of the red tassel gun only needs to have a certain amount of arm strength, and does not require superb martial arts, which is suitable for the "righteous army" composed mainly of peasant children.
"Marshal, the 1,000 recruits sent by Luo Tian have arrived!"
Now Zhu Yifeng's title has also undergone some changes, at the beginning, some people called "adult", some people called "handsome", "general", that is, after returning from Wuchang County, the change in mentality made Zhu Yifeng tailor a title for himself "handsome", whether it is "handsome" or "general", in his opinion, there is no "handsome", more majestic.
Of course, in the past, the "handsome" was a bit bluffing, but now, after sweeping the Huangzhou Mansion, he has a little bit of confidence as a "handsome".
Three thousand teachers and five thousand teachers......
Looking at the 5,000 recruits in front of him, thinking that there were still thousands of recruits on the way to Huangzhou, Zhu Yifeng secretly calculated his strength, if it was full, it would be almost 20,000 troops.
The New Year is sad, and the New Year and the New Year are often the saddest times for ordinary people, and because of this, the military salary of the righteous army naturally makes the poor people rush to work, set up a recruitment flag, and have their own food people, and the ancients did not deceive me.
"Wait a few days, after the two route armies return to the division, repair for a while, and you will almost be able to take Wuchang!"
Although there are only 20,000 soldiers now, the confidence of sweeping the Huangzhou Mansion stimulates his ambition, and people's ambitions will always swell.
"Is it too early?"
Almost as soon as he returned to the yamen, he just told him about the preparations for the two mansions of Hanyang and Wuchang, and Li Ziyuan said his concerns directly.
"After all, we haven't gained a firm foothold in Huangzhou yet!"
"Yuda, what do you think?"
Faced with Li Ziyuan's opposition, Zhu Yifeng directly set his sights on Lin Zhiping. Now this local scholar in Huangzhou has entered his own scene, not only into the scene, but also recommended more than a dozen local depressed talents, and now the situation in Huangzhou can be stabilized, but there is a little bit of effort of these county magistrates and county officials.
"It doesn't matter whether you stand firm or not, this rebel from ancient times to the present, the one who relied on it said, said that it was benevolence and righteousness, but in fact it was all military might, if the commander was defeated, even if Lin Ping was under his own nephew, he would turn around and join the official army, if the adult wins, this Huangzhou is naturally as stable as Mount Tai!"
Lin Zhiping's remark points to the fact that for the rebels, unless they accumulate the homes of the eunuchs over the years, there is absolutely no stable base area, at least at the beginning of the beginning. For those newly appointed officials, the appointment here is just a means for them to join the "imperial court".
"My lord wants to take Hanyang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, although it seems to be presumptuous, but in fact it is also feasible, after all, the army in Hubei is now empty, and the officials are high with Jiang Zhongyuan's political envoy, and the soldiers are only a few thousand, and the governor and governor are all under it, and the local officials are frightened by the momentum of the Guangdong bandits and Wuchang, and their hearts have long been frightened.
In the end, the slow and detailed words were just for one sentence - now you can attack Wuchang and you can capture Hanyang.
"But, Yuda, don't forget that the Chu led by Jiang Zhongyuan is very brave, even the Cantonese bandits have suffered a big loss from him!"
If he didn't know who Jiang Zhongyuan was, in recent days, after hearing that he was appointed as a political envoy to Hubei, Zhu Yifeng could be said to have known him for a long time, and he also knew that Feng Yunshan died at the hands of this person.
"It doesn't matter how brave you are! The so-called standing up and fighting is not brave! ”
Shook his head directly, his usual contempt for the Qing army made Zhu Yifeng feel almost blind confidence.
"Besides, if I attack 5,000 with 20,000 elites, how can I not succeed?"
Who Jiang Zhongyuan is, Zhu Yifeng doesn't know, he doesn't know how brave his Chu Yong is, he doesn't know very well, but he knows one thing very well, that is, even if the Manchu Qing Lian Yong is brave, he can't withstand the shelling, and when the two armies retreat, when the two armies withdraw, they will carry fourteen Caron heavy artillery, even if there are no Western-style muskets, artillery alone can force them back, not to mention, he believes that the "new army" he has trained, although it is not brave, but with the arrogance accumulated by sweeping Huangzhou, Coupled with the group meaning initially formed by the strict training of modernization, it is natural to be able to fight with the so-called Chu Yong.
"Okay, this matter is settled, the troops have to strengthen training recently, and there are ,......"
After a pause, Zhu Yifeng looked at Lin Zhiping and asked.
"How's our cannon now?"
