Fire!

The majestic fire burned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The former village was now completely engulfed in flames, and in the smoke, there was a cry. Amid the crying, the bandits wearing red scarves and military uniforms shouted wildly from time to time, and the slightest crowd slashed at the people......

"Ah......h

Li Huizong, who was awakened by the nightmare, looked left and right in horror, and it was not until he saw that he was lying in this dilapidated house that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Patting his chest, Li Huizong's childish face was full of luck, he didn't know how he escaped, but now he knew that at least here, he no longer had to worry about the lesson of the pawn.

He was snatched from his parents' side and brought to the barracks by Longhair, and he was the waiter brigade commander, and there were seven children about his age, including eight of him, and when they ate, they sat at the same table, and he was the last to come, and sat at the last table. Starting from getting up and dressing in the morning, washing water, making tea, serving rice, and before going to bed at night, beating the back, rubbing the legs, washing the feet, pouring the night pot, etc., there is a special person to do everything. If you are a little unsatisfactory, you will be beaten and scolded, slapped, slashed with the back of a knife, and everything around you that can be caught is a tool for beating people. Only when the child is beaten and howls hoarsely will the brigade commander laugh.

When he first arrived in the barracks, he was assigned to carry a pot to flush water and make tea. Obviously, the teacup is polished, and the teacup is still accused of being unclean and beaten; rushed too much and was beaten; The water temperature is high, and you are beaten; low, and beaten again; In short, he was beaten countless times a day, and when he was beaten, he howled loudly. As soon as he heard his howl, the brigade commander would laugh heartily and be overjoyed.

After a while in the barracks, he was assigned to do the laundry. One day, when he was doing laundry for the brigade commander, he took the opportunity to escape, and he only thought that he could escape, but he fled for four or five days, and did not meet the people who chased him.

"Maybe they thought I fell into the river while I was doing laundry......"

Just when he was comforting himself like this, Li Huizong vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the temple, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, his face suddenly changed, and when he wanted to run, there was a sudden shout,

"Someone!"

Someone shouted like this, and the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly became more urgent.

"Stop him! Don't let this kid escape! ”

"It's just a little Hanako!"

Li Huizong, who was running towards the woods on the side of the road, only heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, and suddenly, he only felt that something had been cut on his thigh, and the person fell down screaming.

"Boy, if you still run, if you run again, you will really be chopped!"

Riding on the horse, Li Tongqing grinned and scared the child, if he hadn't seen this child, he would be eleven or twelve years old at most, and it is estimated that he would have slashed it with a knife.

Before Li Huizong could come back to his senses while lying on the ground, the man was lifted to the horse, thrown on the horse's back like a package, and brought out of the woods, the horse ran fast, but after a while, he was taken to a group of people and horses.

"Company commander, this is a caught spy!"

As soon as he spoke, Li Huizong was thrown to the ground. Because of the relationship against the light, Li Huizong couldn't see the appearance of the people on the horse clearly, only saw that the horse was very tall, and the horse of the brigade commander was like a donkey compared to this, and then listened to these people, and when he heard what they were talking about, Li Huizong's eyes had adapted to the strong sunlight, and he also saw these people clearly.

They are not hairy!

"What a spy, it's just a little flower child!"

"Y-You're not hairy?"

As soon as his words fell, it immediately caused a burst of laughter around him, and Sun Changqing looked at him and said.

"Do you think we look like long hair?"

Only then did Li Huizong see the people on horseback, they were all wearing black uniforms without exception, and the appearance of the uniforms was strange, but they did not see the "soldiers" or "braves" on the Qing army's uniforms.

"Who are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Changqing on horseback bent down slightly and picked up the miscellaneous hair on his face with a saber, only to see the word "Taiping" tattooed on his cheek.

"You're longhaired?"

The tattoo on the soldier's face is said to be the invention of Liu Rengong, a Hebei warlord in the early Five Dynasties, and has been used by the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and even the Two Song and Khitan. At that time, criminals sentenced to prison were also pierced and even sent directly to serve as soldiers, so the status of soldiers was regarded as no different from prisoners, and morale was naturally low. In order to encourage morale in the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court began to recruit "utility" (high-ranking soldiers who did not pierce their faces), and by the Yuan Dynasty, the system of piercing soldiers was gradually abolished. The Taiping Army, because the soldiers they replenished were all forcibly captured, in order to prevent escape, they all tattooed words on their foreheads; Those who voluntarily join are exempt from stabbing.

At the beginning, not all of the Taiping army tattooed words, but only to the deserters, and the more times they escaped, the more the words were tattooed, such as the first time they were caught, they would be stabbed "holy soldiers" and "Taiping", and the second time they were stabbed "voluntary surrender" and "beating the country", it is said that some people were stabbed into kanban on their faces and necks because they fled too many times.

It is said that the idea of the person who designed the tattoo was that the person who was tattooed did not dare to run away because of the words on his face, and once the person who was tattooed "voluntarily surrendered" escaped and was discovered by the Qing army, it would be a dead end. Who knew that the Qing army was not stupid, and after they figured out the details, they specially ordered that none of the tattoos would be killed. As a result, some deserters who obviously did not have tattoos would also find a way to get a few tattoos and go to the Qing army checkpoint to show off, not only to save their lives, but also to get a rich bounty, because the Qing army believed that if there were many "thief soldiers" who tattooed a lot of characters, it must be a good citizen of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who was unwilling to rebel and resolutely fought against Changmao.

This doll has words tattooed on its face, and it is obviously the Taiping Army. They were not surprised by this, as the information they had obtained had shown that the long-haired children had a great habit of capturing children, who were weak and timid, obedient, and were caught in the barracks as a handyman, and after a few years they were old enough to be able to fight as soldiers.

It is said that Wuchang City was the first to be brought into it by the long-haired baby soldiers, and they were all fearless of death.

"Small, the villain was captured by long hair, this, this is not easy to escape......"

Listening to this man's cringe-state answer, Sun Changqing said.

"Don't be afraid."

"You are...... Is it a rebel? ”

Li Huizong asked tentatively.

"Yes, we are the Rebels!"

When he said his identity, Sun Changqing's heart suddenly swelled with arrogance, and even his chest was straight, on the way, he met many people, when the people knew that they were the "righteous army" from Hubei, they all knelt on the side of the road, crying loudly, and even took out a pitiful little property at home and other "reward Wang Shi".

It is precisely because of this that Sun Changqing attaches great importance to the reputation of the Righteous Army, in fact, after the kind of respect of the people, each of them will automatically cherish the reputation of the Righteous Army, for fear that their actions will disgrace the "Righteous Army".

In the end, those eggs, hens and silver coins that "rewarded the king" naturally did not ask for them, not only did they not ask for them, but they also took the initiative to leave some canned meat to improve the lives of those people with vegetables.

As soon as he heard the word "righteous army", Li Huizong immediately cried.

"I want to go home, I want to go home to find my father and mother......"

If before that, he was worried that he would be beheaded and arrested to serve people, then now after knowing that they are "rebels", he is no longer afraid.

Rebel!

Even in the barracks of the Taiping Army, people also knew the "benevolence and righteousness" of the rebels, and even many people who were captured hoped that the rebels would one day come over.

At least after the rebels came, they would not fall into the hands of the Qing soldiers, and they would only be dead. And more importantly, after the rebels came, they did not need to worry about the lives of their families.

Listening to the crying of this doll, Sun Changqing's mind sank slightly, but he did not interrupt his crying, along the way, he didn't know how many people he saw crying and looking for his family, including women who lost their husbands, couples who lost their children, and people who lost their daughters.

"Don't cry, don't cry, when we finish Anqing, when the time comes, we will take in children like you in Anqing Mansion, and your father and mother will definitely go to find you when they hear about ......it."

As the deputy company commander, Wang Yun comforted the doll, before leaving, the meeting had already made arrangements for these "child soldiers" in the Taiping army, and the captured child soldiers would be listed separately at that time, and their families would be contacted to return to their parents.

"You're going to fight Anqing!"

Li Huizong opened his eyes wide and looked at these rebels riding on tall horses in front of him, he escaped from Anqing.

"That's right, we're going to knock Anqing down!"

As the cavalry company of the regiment, they received the task of being the vanguard of the whole regiment and first arrived in Anqing.

"I'll show you the way, I'm running from Anqing, I know where to go to Anqing......

Although there is already a guide, Sun Changqing did not refuse this guide, in fact, now that the army is in chaos, it is undoubtedly murder to let such a half-old child wander in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Li Quan!"

Sun Changqing shouted at the guide behind him.

"Sir, I'm here,"

Li Quan, who was riding a horse, hurriedly rode his inferior horse over, he was a guide hired by the cavalry company, although he "greeted the king" like everyone else, but the reason why he was willing to be a guide was to rush to the ten oceans. Unlike the long-haired or the officers and soldiers who casually arrest people as guides, the guides of the righteous army have silver to take, and in your opinion, this is precisely the "righteousness" of the righteous army.

"Li Quan, this ...... What's your name? ”

"My name is Li Huizong,"

"You're a family, huh? Okay, Li Quan, you let him ride a horse with you, and when the time comes, you can also take him to dodge. ”

"Sir, I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid, I can fight long-haired ......"

As soon as he heard that he was hiding, Li Huizong would be willing, and hurriedly defended loudly.

"I know you're not afraid!"

Holding Li Quanzong's waist in one hand and lifting him onto Li Quan's horse, Sun Changqing said with a smile.

"But I'm afraid, what the hell, what are those hairy things? I won't even let go of dolls like you, and when Lao Tzu arrives in Anqing, I will teach those grandsons a good lesson......"
