First of all, although the Liu Xiu brothers announced the uprising, Wang Mang's regime still controlled most of the country.

Even in Namyang County, the government and military controlled most of the area. Once the military deployment is made, the Nanyang County Taishou (former team doctor) has the armament

The force can quickly pounce on Chungling, and the officers and troops from other places can also rush to encircle and suppress.

In other words, such a Chungling army, which had only seven or eight thousand men, was isolated and lacked minimum military training, would have to face ten or even a hundred times as much as its own

Officers and soldiers with extensive experience in suppressing uprisings and massacring ordinary people.

There is simply no military comparison between us and us.

Secondly, the materials of the Chung Ling army were extremely scarce, and they did not have the minimum conditions required to fight a battle.

To a certain extent, fighting a war means fighting military supplies, logistics, money and food, whether the materials are sufficient, whether the supply is timely, and whether the weapons and equipment are advanced.

To a large extent, it determines the course of the war.

This is true today, and it was true in ancient times.

Therefore, there is a saying in my country very early on that "before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first".

The Chungling Army is not inferior to the official army, with sufficient logistical support and a regular organization and command system, and almost all of them march together to fight with their families.

Such a mixed team of men, women and children, not to mention others, just eating, drinking, and Lazar also need to have a certain amount of logistical support to follow.

Not to mention fighting, even traveling, the cost of this team is not a small amount.

I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, Liu Xiu, as the core figure of the Chungling Army, doesn't even have a war horse, his basic configuration is a cow, which is called

"General Bull Riding".

In this way, the equipment of other people can be imagined.

is not afraid of everyone's jokes, the Chung Ling Army can't even afford a decent flag at this time.

There is a story here, which can be seen that the Chung Ling Army is indeed too tight at this time.

Today, the town of Chengdian, the county seat of Sheqi County, Henan Province, and the credit store wine here, are named after Liu Xiu's credit banner and raising troops.

Yes, the so-called "credit" means that when you are short of money when you buy something, you will bring the things first, and the money will be owed for the time being.

Legend has it that when Liu Xiugang raised his troops, he was so nervous that he couldn't even afford a handsome flag.

One day, he came to a small town and ate in a small hotel. Maybe he has been working hard for days and hasn't eaten well for a long time, but he thinks this meal is really a meal

The fragrant wine is also fragrant.

Thinking about his own army uprising, he was still nervous when his family wealth was exhausted, and he was a little stunned.

Walking out of the shop, he saw the shop banner fluttering in the air in the wind, and the word "Liu" was written on it very eye-catching, so he had an idea: My team has a handsome flag

Not yet, so why not use it?

He fumbled in his pocket, but it was empty, so he had to ask the shopkeeper for his shop flag on credit.

It would have been a difficult thing to be embarrassed to ask people to do business, and the credit recipient would not open his mouth if he had poor psychological quality, and the person who was credited would generally be very angry

: What did you do on purpose?

However, Shopkeeper Liu knew that there was a gentleman Liu Xiu in front of him, and the credit store flag was used to beat Wang Mang, so he happily took it down and handed it to Liu Xiu.

Later, Liu Xiu finally became the emperor after all the hardships, and still remembered the credit of the town and the small shop

shop wine", the town is called "credit shop town".

Although he is the Son of Heaven and can use all the fine wine in the world, he still has a soft spot for wine in the credit store, and often uses it for banquets and entertaining his subordinates.

Thirdly, at this time, the peasant uprisings in various places were already very lively, the officials and troops were busy suppressing them, and there were many soldiers everywhere, and the Chung Ling army was weak, if it was not taken correctly

strategy and tactics, which can be eaten by others at any time.

When encountering officials and soldiers, there is nothing to say, and they will definitely fight.

When encountering the rebel army, if people are greedy, the result is not easy to say.

It was very common for powerful forces and peasant rebels to annex each other.

By the way, we are about to talk about the situation of the peasant rebel army, and the Liu Xiu brothers are also urgently consulting on this.

In fact, as early as 17 A.D., when Wang Mang was busy carrying out the restructuring of his people and misleading the country, except for the armed rebellion of the Liu clan and the pro-Liu bureaucracy

resistance, one after another peasant uprisings also kicked off.

For example, the uprising led by Gua Tianyi, a native of Linhuai (near present-day Sihong, Jiangsu); An uprising led by Lu Mu, a native of Haiqu County, Langxi County (now Rizhaoxi, Shandong).

Wait a minute.

Among the many anti-reckless rebel armies, the most striking were the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army, which were large in size and strong in combat.

have had a profound impact.
