354 Defection
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you!
Early the next morning, not long after Hu Guang got up, some of his subordinates came in and said: "Report to the chief, there are more than ten victims outside the city, and they want to join us and call the Heavenly Army!" ”
"Oh, since you're here to join us and call the Heavenly Army, then open the door and let them in, just remember to separate groups after verifying their identities." Hu Guang didn't care either, and casually ordered.
"Yes, Chief."
When Hu Guang had breakfast, someone came to tell him, and the content was still the same, but the number of people was different.
When Hu Guang heard this, he still didn't care, and he also instructed: "If there is such a thing in the future, just report it to Commander Hu in charge of city defense." ”
If you have to worry about this kind of thing, then you don't have to do anything.
What he didn't expect was that at noon, Hu Hansan suddenly came to visit him and said to him: "Chief, someone has just come to us to call the Heavenly Army......
"Huh?" Hu Guang really wants to faint, his subordinates won't come to complain, your head is too idle to harass me? He didn't look up, still writing the manuscript and said, "You Hu Hansan, you have arranged it when people come, and you don't have to report to me." ”
"But chief, this time everyone from a village is here! I think I'll have to let you know. Hu Hansan replied immediately.
When Hu Guang heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked up, and saw a wry smile on Hu Hansan's face, and confirmed with a little suspicion: "The whole village is here together?" ”
Hu Hansan nodded, if it weren't for this, how could he come to disturb the chief.
Hu Guang felt that this matter was going to be taken seriously, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the key.
This year's drought in Kannai is even more severe, and the number of victims is even greater. And the reputation of being called the Heavenly Army slowly spread as those who were released before left.
Calculate the time. Maybe people who are a little closer to the place have already gotten the news. Those who couldn't survive the disaster victims also ran to the heavenly army in a logical way to beg for food and survive.
Hu Guang frowned slightly, looked at Hu Hansan and asked, "How many people have taken the initiative to join us and call the Heavenly Army?" ”
"Six hundred and seventy-eight people. They all come in groups, either from the same village, or with relatives and friends. Hu Hansan hurriedly replied.
That's a lot of people! Hu Guang thought in his heart when he heard this, but since they came, it was impossible not to accept it. He thought about it for a while, and then explained to Hu Hansan seriously: "No matter what, since you are here, you will accept all the good students." ”
"What about the grain?" Hu Hansan asked with a worried face.
We had just held a meeting to discuss the food issue, and it was not optimistic. If there are more and more of them, then there will be no more food!
Hu Guang did not hesitate, and immediately replied solemnly: "The matter of food, and then we will find a way." The fact that those victims still want to come over regardless of whether we are from the government or not, means that they can't survive anymore. If we don't, we're probably going to starve to death. The government can ignore it, we call the heavenly army to take care of it. Got it? ”
"Understood, Chief!" Hu Hansan is very serious. Raise your hands and salute, shout back, and then turn around and go out to settle the victims.
In his heart at this time, he was very proud of having such a leader. It is precisely because of such a leader that we call the Celestial Army so different, from other thief armies. It's different from the government.
The heavenly army is the heaven of the common people, it is the land of the common people, as long as there is a heavenly army, the common people can have a head.
That night, the three giants in Fugu County met as usual. The first thing that came to mind was the fact that the victims had come to join us.
"There are a total of 1,432 people who have come to join us today, and there are ...... from the same village."
Hu Guang listened to Hu Hansan's advice, and the pen in his hand drew circles on the unrolled map from time to time, and after he finished speaking, Hu Guang groaned for a while and said: "It seems that the peak of defecting to our heavenly army is likely to come the day after tomorrow." Be prepared, verify your identity and form a group. ”
When Hu Hansan and Liu Daneng heard this, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Chief, there are so many people here today, how do you know that there will be more people tomorrow?" Liu Daneng turned his head, looked at Hu Guang and asked.
Hu Guang moved the map in front of him to the two of them, then pointed to the map and said: "Come and see, what came to us today is a place where a circle has been drawn, and it can be deduced, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, these ...... And the people of these places are likely to flock to them, because the drought in this area is also very severe. ”
Liu Daneng and Hu Hansan leaned over, looked at the place Hu Guang pointed to, listened to his explanation, and nodded from time to time.
After Hu Guang finished speaking, Fang Cai stood up because of the explanation and sat back down, threw the pen in his hand on the table, and pressed his head with both hands.
Hu Hansan watched Hu Guang's movements and knew that the chief was worried about the food problem. There is nothing I can do about this problem, and when I think about it like this, I am a little annoyed that I can't help the chief.
Liu Daneng thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good way, so he could only sigh helplessly: "We are about to control the fertile Hetao Plain, anyway, there is water from the Yellow River for irrigation, but we are not afraid of drought." If the weather hadn't been so cold and the crops would have yielded more, there would have been no worries about food! ”
He has not stayed in the army all the time like Hu Hansan, and Zeng, like Hu Kuan, withdrew from the army and has a certain understanding of agriculture. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, I felt so emotional.
When Hu Guang heard this, he suddenly stopped rubbing his hand and raised his head to look at Liu Daneng, but he thought in his heart, could it be that he really wanted to go?
Originally, his plan was to wait for the base area to be completely stabilized before going, but now that the situation forces him, he has to go if he doesn't go.
He thought for a while, and then instructed Hu Hansan: "You pay attention, among the disaster victims who have defected to our Heavenly Army in the past few days, we have singled out some clever people who belong to the Baode Prefecture region. ”
"Chief, are you going to fight Texas?" Hu Hansan's first reaction was like this, with a hint of excitement, he immediately confirmed, "That is, there is definitely enough food in the city!" ”
When Liu Daneng heard this, the whole person became nervous, staring at Hu Guang and waiting for an answer.
I saw Hu Guang shaking his head and said: "For the time being, let's look at the situation of the victims first, and then we won't fight the state city unless necessary." If you really want to fight the state city, you should also outwit the master. ”
Seeing that the two generals nodded, he explained to Liu Daneng again: "Your side will carry out emergency education for the surrendered Ming soldiers, so that they can all learn the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions". If they hit Texas, they will definitely use it. At that time, they represented us as the Heavenly Army, but they couldn't ruin our reputation as the Heavenly Army! ”
"Yes, Chief!" Liu Daneng immediately agreed. (To be continued......)
