Chapter 120: Sniping, Benevolence and Benefit
Whether the decision is right or wrong depends on the situation and situation at the time, and more importantly, the final result. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info If the result is not good, then it is wrong; The result is good, no matter how mentally retarded the decision is, it is also correct and wise.
If Chen Wenqiang's plan is successfully implemented, there will naturally be nothing to say. But you can't take the unexpected for granted.
Although Chen Wenqiang believes in his luck, he is not sure that he is brighter than Zhuge Liang. And between fortune and people, although it is somewhat illusory, it is extremely important. When you are lucky, heaven and earth work together to help you succeed; When you're unlucky, you can't do anything, even if you're a true hero. "The future of fortune is not smiling, and the prince is also a fisherman" also means this.
The plan to snipe Zheng Hongming has been formulated and implemented, but Chen Wenqiang does not know where Ah Mao is ambushing and when to do it. The closer he got to Qiongzhong, the more suspicious Chen Wenqiang became, in his eyes, there seemed to be a muzzle stretched out by a cat in front of him and in every suitable sniper location he passed.
Wait, wait, the cold shot that Chen Wenqiang was looking forward to didn't sound for a long time, Zheng Hongming was still jumping happily, riding on the horse and looking forward to Shenfei.
Gray clouds, moving slowly from south to north, the sun dimmed, small patches of cold clear sky that seemed to be in contemplation, peeking down from time to time through the cracks in the clouds. The earth is immersed in mud and humid air, and the weather after the rain gives people a desolate and desolate feeling.
The grass was wet, and a drop of dew slipped down the branches and leaves and fell in front of the cat's eyes. Most of his pants and clothes were soaked by the rain. But he did not move, and in the silence of the jungle after the rain, even the slightest sound could be heard, and the neighing of people in the distance became clearer and clearer.
If it weren't for this rain, Zheng Hongming and his men and horses would have walked through the avenue under the jungle a long time ago. But the cat can endure it. This is a task he has undertaken alone, and he wants to impress Brother Chen and prove that he can be on his own.
Who will be the hunter and who will be the prey, a comprehensive test of wisdom, courage, perseverance, skills, and the losing side will bleed. will die. The bloodthirsty impulse, the passion to kill, the ** of fighting, and the urgency to prove themselves are the driving forces to support A Mao.
When you're unprepared, choose the moment to stealthily shoot, blow their heads with pre-processed bullets, or penetrate their chests, with the sound of falling. The poor worm died.
"Strike while you're unprepared." Ah Mao whispered Chen Wenqiang's spoken words, and he admired his voice.
Looking at the approaching team, Ah Mao sneered and pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it.
Riding on a horse and marching with a large team, Zheng Hongming's back was very straight, and the general should be like this, so that he could be majestic. Since there is an official position, a military rank. Zheng Hongming tried his best to get rid of his previous style, and he also criticized his former brothers a lot. In his mind. The reckless rivers and lakes are of course his roots, but if he doesn't get rid of these, how can he soar and dominate the world. Well, let's put the matter of ascending the throne first, and get promoted and get rich first. You have to look like you're not.
Revival! Zheng Hongming's feelings are complicated, but now, they are inseparable. Moreover, he did not know how powerful the Revival Society really was, and he had an unfathomable feeling. Of course. Such an impression is more drawn from Chen Wenqiang.
When facing Chen Wenqiang, Zheng Hongming had an inexplicable sense of coercion, not only because Chen Wenqiang was decisive and ruthless, but also because when he was watched by Chen Wenqiang, he had a feeling of being seen through and seen through, and it seemed that he couldn't hide anything from Chen Wenqiang. It's a heart-wrenching feeling, because everyone has their own secrets, and it's like standing in plain sight with no clothes on.
Fortunately, this guy is said to be leaving in a while, thinking of this, Zheng Hongming let out a long breath lightly and looked up at the scenery along the way. There is definitely no problem in taking charge on his own, and if the revival will increase support, it is also certain that the three patrol battalions of the Qing army will be eliminated. When the soldiers are strong, they will be able to shake off the shackles on the head of the Revival Society.
Ah Mao held his breath, firmly put the crosshair on Zheng Hongming's body, and entered the shooting state. Once he entered this state, he had a wonderful feeling, and all the wind and grass around him seemed to be inaudible, similar to the feeling of Buddhist zazen. All his attention was focused on the distant target, he saw more clearly, calculated more precisely, and timed better.
The fingers slowly pulled back, pulled the trigger, the bullet came out of the chamber, and the gun sat back briskly. It's a perfect shot, and the cat barely needs to look to know that it will hit the target.
With a screech, the bullet sliced through the air at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, and accurately slashed into Zheng Hongming's chest. Before Zheng Hongming heard the gunshot, he fell headlong like he had been hit by a heavy punch.
The marching team didn't know what was going on, and it wasn't until Zheng Hongming's exclamation that he was hit by a cold gun rang out, and the team was in chaos.
A volley of bullets came out of the jungle, causing even more confusion in the ranks, and a group of men in patrol camp uniforms shouted and moved through the jungle.
"Kill, avenge the master."
"Rush, shit the dog mongrel into pieces."
Groups of soldiers, under the command of the officer, rushed to the hillside in a chaotic manner. After Ah Mao and the dozens of people who cooperated with him finished shooting their guns and revealing their clothes, they quickly retreated along the mountain road and soon disappeared in the jungle.
Chen Wenqiang, who rushed to hear the news, separated the crowd and saw Zheng Hongming who was spurting blood from his mouth and nose, the bullet hit his lungs, and the blood would soon block his trachea, and he was on the verge of dying.
"General Zheng, General Zhengβ" Chen Wenqiang called, squatting down, holding Zheng Hongming's big hand, his grief overflowing.
Zheng Hongming's eyes were staring, he couldn't speak, and he wasn't even sure if he recognized Chen Wenqiang. His head tilted, and Chen Wenqiang felt his hand sink.
"Who did it?" Chen Wenqiang gently put down Zheng Hongming's hand, wiped his eyes, stood up and glanced at the people around him and shouted, "Who the did this?" β
"Yes, it's the patrol battalion." A soldier pointed to the hillside where there was no longer a human figure, "It's the Qing soldier in Qiongzhong, who ran away after shooting the black gun." β
"The Qing soldiers in Joan?" Chen Wenqiang's eyes narrowed, and the murderous aura was pervasive, getting heavier and heavier. Then he gritted his teeth and roared: "Kill Ben Qiongzhong, and the Qing soldiers of the patrol battalion will not let go of any of them, and avenge General Zheng." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Whether you are a king or a soldier; Whether you are noble or lowly, the end result is the same. Lie down on the ground.
This is life, so fragile, a second ago I was arrogant, thinking about beautiful women and money, and now I am whining! This is death, whether you are in a position of power or a humble life, it will not avoid the visit of death.
With careful planning and preparation, the ending is as simple as that. Confusion, deliberation, departure...... Chen Wenqiang rode on his horse again and began to march. Zheng Hongming had been wrapped in cloth and lay down in the cart.
The current rebel army is roughly divided into two parts, Zheng Hongming's old department - the Huang brothers, Li Jiajun's one, and those small leaders have no strength and no support, and they are basically scattered and placed, so they can only rely on these two major units. And the Huang brothers are not as good as Zheng Hongming, and it is better to say that they are not ambitious. It's okay to say that they are small and rich, but it's easier to control anyway.
At present, the biggest difficulty facing the rebel army is not the Qing army's suppression. It's its own bloat, that is, the placement of family members. If there is no solid base area and no proper arrangements, it is obviously not easy for the rebels to leave their hometown of Wanning and abandon their homes and businesses to fight in all directions.
Look, more than a thousand centaurs. There was almost the same number of family members in the back, which made Chen Wenqiang also have a headache. If you don't let them follow, many soldiers must be worried that the relatives and friends left behind will be retaliated against by the Qing army. Although not everyone has such worries, and all bring their families, this is obviously far from the regular combat troops.
Revolution is not an easy thing to do! on this. Chen Wenqiang had a personal experience, and he was quite disapproving of the kind of "revolution" that started first and then said. Rather than calling such an action a revolution, it is better to call it a troublemaker, to make trouble for the Qing court. Although it cannot be said that it is useless at all, in the end, the losses are large and the results are small, and compared with the outstanding talents and enthusiastic young people who sacrificed as a result, it is completely disproportionate.
If we want to succeed, we should be patient, endure for another year or two, make preparations more sufficient, accumulate more strength, and have a continuous supply of personnel and materials. This is the conclusion that Chen Wenqiang has reached through this practice, because because he can analyze and sum up, the experience is very valuable, so that the future actions of the revival committee can be continuously improved.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Bang bang, the soldiers sent out carried the gong, and while knocking, they let go of their throats in the streets of the county town and shouted, "The revolutionary army has committed no crimes in the autumn, only kills the corrupt officials of the Qing soldiers, and the villagers are about to arrive at the county office, and they have distributed the grain, and every family has it!" β
After a long time passed, there were gradually voices on the streets, first they watched, then some dared to come out to inquire, and then some people received food and money, and the news that "the revolutionary army had beaten away the officers and soldiers and wanted to share the food and money" became more and more real, and the voices of the people became louder and louder, and the frightened people slowly took to the streets and slowly moved closer to the county government.
At the entrance of the county office, several tables had been put together to build a platform, and according to the seized household register, the clerks of the revolutionary army gave the people who came to receive the slips, and the people could go to the official treasury to collect the slips.
This is not the first time that this kind of grace has benefited the people, from Wanning to Qionghai, and then to Qiongzhong, the work has been done quite skillfully.
In the county office, Chen Wenqiang is meeting with the gentry of the county, and these people are not confident in their hearts, and their attitudes are very respectful.
"The adults have lofty aspirations, and the department is also a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." An old man with a white beard first praised him, and then said: "The old man is weak and weak, and has the heart to follow the adult, but he has no strength to fight, so he can only donate some food and property to fund the army and show my heart." β
"I also donate food and donations, and I hope that the Lord will be victorious and successful." The other gentleman also said sincerely.
In traditional Chinese rural society, there is an elite class with the gentry as the main body, and they are the masters of the countryside. In Qiongzhou, however, due to the late development and the abundance of land, the contradictions between the peasants and these gentry were not as acute as in the interior. In this way, it was decided that the policy of "beating down local tyrants and dividing up the land" should not be adopted to win over the peasant class, which made up the majority of the population.
Chen Wenqiang naturally knew that these gentry were talking nicely, but they all had the psychology of spending money to buy peace. And he doesn't have the idea of "eating big households and plundering money" at all, as long as he is not a poor and vicious person, as long as he is not a corrupt official, Chen Wenqiang believes that he is the object of unity and struggle. This time they made a good impression, and when they come back, there will definitely be support, support, and welcome, and the worst will not be the enemy, right?
Therefore, Chen Wenqiang's attitude in conversation was calm and sincere, and he did not have the arrogance and rude military arrogance of Qing Dynasty officials. He explained the discipline of the revolutionary army and won praise such as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Later, he brought together the achievements of the revolutionary army to show the gentry the strength of the revolutionary army.
When the gentry knew that the revolutionary army had even taken down the five counties, they were all speechless. A series of praises such as "clever calculation", "brave and wise", "division of tigers and wolves" and so on have been deducted.
The establishment of a base area in the mountainous area of Wuzhi Mountain is basically a definite thing, and the feelings of the people around the mountainous area are very important. If there is a supportive, sympathetic population, then it will be easy to supply supplies and spy on it. Therefore, Chen Wenqiang declined the gentry's donations, not confused by petty profits, he wanted a long-term plan.
"The revolutionary army is not a robber of houses, our ideal is to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, make the country rich and strong, and make the people's lives stable." Chen Wenqiang looked at the gentry with a smile, "So, you shouldn't be afraid, but you should be happy." What is the government like, you know it in your hearts, collecting taxes, extortion, and stealing, and there don't seem to be many good deeds, right? β
What a revolution is, it is estimated that even these gentry do not understand, let alone those illiterate people. Chen Wenqiang did not want to spend a lot of effort on propaganda and education for the time being, he only showed the benefits of the revolutionary army from the simplest wishes of the people.
The gentry would not be robbed and extorted, and their families would not be harassed or harmed; The people will not be killed indiscriminately, and they will even be able to share the food and money. From top to bottom, the revolutionary army seems to have brought only benefits, and the side effect is almost none.
Therefore, no matter how you understand "revolution", even if you think that the revolution is just a rebellion, just a change of dynasty, and just a way to pay less taxes, as long as there is no fear of revolution and no opposition to the revolution, Chen Wenqiang feels that he has achieved his goal.
