Under normal circumstances, the modern Chinese army marches at a speed of 4-5 kilometers per hour and travels 30-40 kilometers per day on foot; The "rapid march" is about 10 kilometers per hour; "Forced march" is a march of more than 50 kilometers a day, and a continuous march of more than 12 hours a day and night. 【Full Text Reading】''''

Although the Fuxing Army was trained by Wang Shuhui according to the standards of the modern army. But both from the point of view of physical fitness and from the point of view of equipment, the ancients were not as good as the modern people. Therefore, the regular march carried out by the Renaissance Army, that is, without affecting the immediate entry of the troops into battle, can basically reach a daily distance of about 20 kilometers, that is, a daily journey of 50 miles.

Therefore, about ten days have passed since the Fuxing Society received the report of the Wuchang Incident and the two battalions of the Fuxing Society arrived in Chengtianfu.

More than 10,000 people besieged a small and poorly defended city, this kind of thing is not a very comfortable process for both the besieging party outside the city and the besieged party inside the city.

If you are a man, you have to eat. The situation in Chengtianfu City is better. Although the price of rice in Chengtianfu City has skyrocketed, this is only for the surname Lao Bai. Although the situation of the common people deteriorated further, the government was responsible for the food and drink of the gentry and the families of the gentry who were responsible for the security of the city, as well as the officials and archers under the government and the food of the people.

Although the prefect of Chengtian Mansion is not the kind of genius who allows for literature and martial arts, he also knows that in the case of a chaotic siege, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the city. Therefore, he also suppressed the soaring price of rice to a certain extent.

Although his efforts did not have much effect, the gentry in the Chengtian Mansion, who had already figured out the current situation, also knew that at this time, the stability of the palace was very important. Therefore, although the price of rice is ridiculously high, many gentry also opened porridge sheds in the city to stabilize the people's hearts.

Compared with the organized and strategic Chengtianfu City, the situation of the rebel soldiers outside the Chengtianfu City is much worse. They all killed officials and rebelled in a situation of intense emotions. There is no unified leadership and organization for a few thousand households and a dozen or so hundred military households, as well as a large number of people. Therefore, the siege operation has only been carried out for two days, and there have been many fights and brawls between military households over food problems.

Fortunately, the dozen or so leaders who were pushed out by the military households of various guards were not complete fools. After many discussions, Ye Xiaoman's plan of each hundred households taking turns to go out to fetch grain was recognized by everyone.

The reason why everyone participated in the rebellion, whether they actively participated or were passively coerced, was because there were benefits to participating in the rebellion.

The reason for this is that if you kill the officers of the guard, you can get food and silver immediately, and you can also participate in the siege because of the promise that the leaders will receive more food and silver.

In the absence of a program, no organization, no discipline, and no effective leadership collective, without any logistics at all, with less and less food in hand, and with less and less hope for the future, more and more military households participating in the siege began to secretly run away.

Because the military households of each guard station had undergone sufficient communication during the siege of the city, the way out of escaping to the manor where the Revival Association was located to sign a long-term contract to work as a long-term worker was known to almost all the military households. In this way, from the third day of the siege, some military households, who were afraid of being pursued by the imperial court, secretly ran home, and then fled to the farm of the Fuxing Society with their families.

In the days that followed, with the exception of a few military households who were not very bright-minded and felt that the rebellion was "not held accountable by the law," nearly 4,000 military households dragged their families and led their families to Jingmen.

The Jingmen working group of the Renaissance Society was also a little caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the population, but because of its full experience in organizing displaced people, these thousands of people were quickly broken up by the working group, and then the working group began to invest the newly replenished manpower into the construction of the farm.

By the time the two battalions of the revival army arrived outside Chengtianfu under the leadership of the Chengtianfu aftermath task force, there were less than 3,000 military households besieging the city.

In fact, when the neat line of the revival army appeared in the field of vision of these military households, the remaining more than 3,000 military households who were still struggling to hold on also dispersed in a hurry.

When the gentry and the people who were standing on the wall of Chengtian Mansion and the officials organized by the government saw this scene, they began to chant loudly, and many people even cried. On the other hand, the situation was immediately reported to the officials and gentry in the city. Hearing the news, the prefect of Chengtian Mansion, who rushed to the city wall, finally let out a long breath.

You must know that the ten-day siege of the rebellious army seriously stimulated this seemingly resolute civil official. In fact, on several occasions he was ready to commit suicide in the palace.

From the first day of the siege of the rebels, he had a bowl of poison at hand. The house where his relatives lived in the backyard of the government was also closed, and the outside was full of firewood that had been poured with vegetable oil. This civil official, who was ready to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and seek dignity, was originally prepared to wait for the rebels to enter the city, then light these firewoods and burn his relatives to death, and finally commit suicide by taking poison.

According to the style of the Ming Dynasty, foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the city. This is especially true for a city with a special meaning like Chengtianfu. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty themselves knew the virtue of the feudal army of burning, killing and looting, so the civil officials in various places implemented this practice more thoroughly.

In fact, even the local civil officials had the will to let the army enter the city, and the landlords and gentry whose lives were in the city would not allow him to do so.

After the government officials who came down from under the hanging basket of the city wall and ran to the Fuxing Army to contact the Fuxing Army conveyed the order prohibiting the troops from entering the city, the Chengtianfu Aftermath Working Group immediately issued an order to attack the troops.

I don't know if we want to say that the prefect of Chengtian Mansion is lucky or unlucky. Anyway, in the first round of artillery bombardment of the Renaissance Army, which focused on fire coverage, the prefect standing at the head of the city was blown up by the cannonballs filled with high intensity medicine by the Baath Army.

He was said to be lucky because his death allowed him to escape the fate of being arrested and sent to work in a concentration camp, and because he was unlucky because he had just let go of the huge psychological pressure and his joy had not yet cleared up.

What's more, in the process of the revival army entering the city, the prefect did not understand the situation, and the confidant family members who thought that the rebels had entered the city lit the firewood in the backyard in a daze. The family members of the prefect of Chengtian Prefecture, whether they were men, women, or children, were burned alive by this loyal old family
