Chapter 31: The Jintian Uprising (1)
"Chaogui, why are you doing this?" Hong Renkong helped up Xiao Chaogui, who was kneeling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother!" Even if he is a heroic and rude man, Xiao Chaogui is also extremely aggrieved: "Why don't I have a position? It's not that the younger brother is greedy for power, even if the younger brother is not as talented as a few brothers, but brother, you just give me a division commander, even if it is a regiment commander, it is better than being an idler! ”
"You!" Hong Renkong smiled bitterly, "I just didn't think about it a little bit and didn't explain it to you, why do you think like this!" ”
"What do you mean, brother?" Xiao Chaogui was not aggrieved at once, and Baba had to look at Hong Renkong and ask.
Without answering him directly, Hong Renkong smiled and said: "Chaogui, you also know that we don't have many soldiers and horses now, and we can't divide a few nests, and it is already the limit to divide the three armies, you must know that normally, there is an army but less than 10,000 people." ”
"So, I didn't immediately assign you a position."
"No, what am I going to do?" Xiao Chaogui was anxious.
"Don't worry, listen to me!" Hong Renkong looked at the straight man in front of him with a smile, revealing a trace of inexplicable eyes, and saw that Xiao Chaogui was about to go crazy, before he smiled: "You may predict the direction of our future march?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chaogui said: "Don't hide it from my brother, the younger brother has also thought about this problem in private, since the elder brother asked the younger brother and didn't hide it, but he said it directly!" ”
"What do you say, say."
"Hehe, in my opinion, my brother takes taking the land of Liangguang as the first goal in his heart, and then based on Liangguang, he went up the Northern Expedition and approached Tianjing."
"Haha, just based on this, no one dares to doubt your Xiao Chaogui's ability." Hong Renkong laughed, "Since you know this, do you know what are the characteristics of our future march route?" ”
"Features?" Xiao Chaogui was really puzzled, and looked at Hong Renkong with a begging face.
Hong Renkong said: "We marched, there are many big rivers and rivers, and it is close to the sea, I think that Liang Shanbo was just a hundred and ten heroes, and he could make the whole Great Song Dynasty jump with chickens and dogs, if it wasn't for the last Song Jiang Zhao'an, I'm afraid the imperial court is also powerless, and what do they rely on?" Naturally, it is because the navy is strong. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Renkong paused, "Now you may understand?" ”
"Brother is saying," Xiao Chaogui's eyes lit up, "let me unite the navy." ”
"Not bad."
"Brother, don't worry, it's not me who blows, I can float at the age of six, I can touch fish at the age of seven, and I ...... at the age of eight."
"Gotta get it, stop" Hong Renkong was full of black lines, "I'm asking you to fight the United Front Army, not to let you catch fish and shrimp, what are you doing!" ”
"Brother, don't worry, this truth is average, and I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
"Don't be too happy, we don't even have a single sailor yet!" Hong Renkong sighed.
"Navy?"
"It's a soldier who is good at water warfare"
"Brother, that's a wonderful word, navy!" Tan Shaoguang read it a few times, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said with a bitter face: "After saying so much, I am still a bare-bones military commander now!" ”
Burst! Hong Renkong was amused by Tan Shaoguang's expression, and said with a smile: "But this is only temporary, when our uprising breaks out, it is indispensable to get a lot of money from the Qing Dynasty treasury, and at that time, the navy is not a matter of time?" But I'll explain it to you! If you can't do it then......"
"I'm willing to be court-martialed!"
The sonorous voice made Hong Renkong slightly stunned, but seeing the firmness in his brother's eyes, Hong Renkong didn't say anything after all, and said solemnly: "Chaogui, the Qing Dynasty's navy is weak now, almost nothing, so this is our opportunity, your courage is not light!" ”
"Brother, rest assured, I will personally build an invincible navy, sweep away the Tartars, return my rivers and mountains, and fight bloodily for the people."
"Well, I believe you!" Hong Renkong nodded heavily.
This has always been a hurdle in his heart, the important minister of the Qing court, Zeng Guofan, who was a very strategic talent, was almost the executioner of the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
And the Hunan army, which was newly built by Zeng Guofan in order to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, was an extremely terrifying team, especially good at water warfare, so he had to prepare early.
Therefore, after a long period of consideration, he handed over the burden of the navy to Xiao Chaogui, and it was definitely not a bad thing to take precautions.
……
Guiping County City Gate.
There seem to be a lot of Baixin entering the city today, and there are several times more straight places, and there are constantly wooden carts filled with a large cart of straw, one after another, with the sound of creaking, slowly passing through.
Although there are some doubts about who uses so much straw, but the few officers guarding the door didn't say much, they have long been tired of watching people come and go every day, where is there any leisure to take care of these things, or be lazy, it's good to take a nap, anyway, it won't be less than a penny, how happy it is.
In a remote mansion in Guiping County, dozens of people in the house are constantly busy, and from time to time there are wooden carts full of straw coming in, and they hear a loud laugh, "Okay, this straw is enough, my sheep, cows, and so on have eaten, come, extremely men come in, drink a cup of hot tea, must be tired!" ”
"Hey, you're such a nice guy." Seven or eight big men said gratefully, and several of them looked a little young, and then went in with their masters, presumably to drink tea.
"What a good landlord!"
"Yes! Li Ye's heart is said to be very good, a few days ago, the heavy snowstorm, Li Ye was still fasting everywhere! The people passing by sighed a few times, cast awe-inspiring glances at the house, and then left, rushing to make a living, who is not like this.
"Uncle Li, I'm in trouble!" When they entered the house, a young man, who seemed to be the head of several men pulling the cart, bowed and shouted, and they actually knew each other.
"Okay, it's all my own people, what's polite, Xiucheng told me, you can rest assured, although I'm old and can't come as hard as you, but I can't take these things seriously!"
"Uncle Li Gaoyi, brothers, next guy."
Sting!
The voice sounded, and it turned out to be a bright blade and a long knife.
……
In Pingnanwang Village, Caijiang Village, Jinyao Village and other villages, many foreign men came today, claiming to be refugees who had fled, their clothes were tattered, their faces were dark, and they even looked a little weak to speak.
These villages are inhabited by some low-level people, although they have little money, but some of them are kind and sympathetic, and they don't say much, they have generously donated money and brought out some food to entertain them, after all, they are all people, and no one can guarantee that they will not have a time to escape.
