Chapter 14 Zhang Suimou's ideas are worse than the other
Li Yunzhong, who returned to Shanren Village, and his brothers encountered a problem: whether to oppose or not to oppose. All the brothers looked at Li Yunzhong, this stumped Li Yunzhong, on the contrary, they should wait until Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan came to preside, if they didn't rebel, they would sit back and wait for the officers and soldiers to come to retaliate.
Su Sanniang said impatiently: "A group of old men, how can my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, my mother rebelled at the beginning, and she was not like you and you, who were afraid of wolves and tigers. ”
Li Yunzhong was provoked by Su Sanniang, and thought to himself, how could he show cowardice in front of his sweetheart if he made a mistake. Suddenly, he said proudly, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, everyone goes to gather soldiers and horses and prepare for rebellion." ”
"You go back and gather all the believers in Siwang Town, where the terrain is open and close to the county seat, and I will lead the elite to attack the county seat of Pingnan County immediately. By the way, big brother, you are responsible for contacting the believers in the county town, and you must open the city gate when we arrive with a large army. Li Yunzhong said to Meng Sheng again
Hu Yihuang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Li Yun would choose to wait at home for the officers and soldiers to come and arrest them. It means going back to prepare to gather the believers of the Church of God.
Meng Sheng said: He should personally rush to the county seat and instruct the believers to open the city gate.
Li Yunzhong, Su Sanniang, and Lai Wang rode in front, followed by 6,000 horses, and from time to time there were cavalry running on the road urging everyone to run faster.
The city wall could be seen gradually, but seeing Meng Sheng and a few people running towards the team, Li Yunzhong signaled to stop advancing, and said to Meng Sheng: "What's the matter, why is the city gate closed." ”
Meng Sheng took a breath and said loudly, "Maybe the county order has already gotten the news and closed the city gate in advance." ”
Li Yunzhong looked at the county seat of the city, the city wall was already covered with Qing soldiers, and he also recognized the county commander who put him in prison, he was on the city wall at this moment, and there were many people standing beside him.
Li Yunzhong was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he couldn't help but look at Su Sanniang and Laiwang, wanting to ask for the opinions of professionals.
Lai Wang said, "Since you can't outwit it, then attack it, the county town is hastily deployed, and it must not be properly arranged." ”
Li Yunzhong thought: Aren't we also in a hurry to attack the city, and we don't even have the equipment, can we climb the city wall? It seems that in the future, we will have to learn a lesson.
"No, let's go back to Siwang Town and join the people first." Li Yunzhong felt that he was assertive and could not rely on others like this. He also said, "Isn't the county order to guard the county seat, then let him guard it, and we will send troops to occupy various towns and villages." ”
In less than half an hour, Li Yunzhong led people to Siwang Town, and many parishioners had already arrived, and Li Yunzhong told the brothers about the attack on the county seat.
Hu Yihuang said: "Many parishioners heard that they were going to rebel and refused to come to the regimental camp. ”
Li Yunzhong couldn't think of any good way, so he couldn't use a knife to force people to rebel. I don't know how Hong Xiuquan did it in his previous life, how could so many people follow him.
Zhang Weikun said angrily, "I am there too, many people don't want to come no matter how much they persuade me, those ungrateful things are angry with me." ”
"It's not their fault, if they don't get to a dead end, the people won't rebel." Li Yunzhong sighed, and immediately estimated how many believers could come to the camp, and couldn't help but wonder: Why were the believers in the European Middle Ages so fanatical.
Zhang Suimou saw that there were no outsiders around, and came back and said fiercely, "Then drive them to a dead end, set fire to their houses and fields, leave them with nothing, and see if they come." ”
Li Yunzhong wanted to oppose it, but when he saw that Hu Yihuang and they all agreed, he became silent. I can only comfort myself: as the saying goes, a thief is like a comb, and a soldier is like a grate. Even if they don't burn their houses, they will be robbed when the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress them.
"Burn it, send someone to burn it secretly, just say that it was burned by the government, and then send someone to pretend to fight the fire, so that the people will be grateful to us and prevent them from regretting, we should separate the family and drag them around for hundreds of miles, even if they want to go home, they can't find their way, they can only follow us." Zhang Suimou saw that everyone agreed with what he said, and came up with a lot of bad ideas.
"Okay, this method is good, you don't have to be hated by the people, and you can also frame it for the government, Ha Lu Ha...... Then we don't need to persuade them, the people will also follow to rebel, some people haven't even been out of the village a few times, they have to walk hundreds of miles, I'm afraid they don't even know where their home is in the direction. "Meng Sheng's damage to Zhang Suimou one after another is really amazing.
Since it was decided to cut off the household, they sent people to set fires in various places, and later, whether they were religious or not, their houses were burned down, and many people were displaced. Li Yunzhong was also troubled by the fact that there were too many old, weak, women and children in the team.
Li Yunzhong took all the brothers to Su Sanniang and Laiwang, and said straight to the point, "Two, as the saying goes, a snake can't be without a head, and a soldier is chaotic without an owner, since you want to rebel, you can only obey one side." ”
Lai Wang said: "I am willing to obey the orders of the gentleman." ”
Su Sanniang also said: "I am also willing to join the God Worship Sect." ”
Li Yunzhong knew that they were members of the Heaven and Earth Society, so he reminded, "Since you have joined the God Worship Sect, you can no longer be as loose as the Society." Acting without being told. ”
Lai Wang said: "I will ...... from now on. My name is Luo Xuan, and Laiwang is dead. ”
Su Sanniang also said that she would not obey the orders of the Heaven and Earth Society in the future.
Li Yunzhong was surprised and delighted, Luo Xuan was a fierce general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he unintentionally got such a good general. I didn't want to persecute too much, and began to discuss with them to straighten out the team.
The ranks were reorganized into five armies, front, rear, center, left, and right. The leader is addressed as a general. For the time being, there is no limit to the number of people in the army, and brigades are set up under the army, and the brigades are unified by brigade commanders, and each brigade is set up with three battalions, five companies under each battalion, and five squads under one company. Such a squad has 10 people, a company has 50 people, a battalion has 250 people, and a brigade has 750 people. All of them were men over the age of sixteen, unlike men, women, and children.
The former army consisted of 3,000 men and horses from Ling 18 and Luo Gang in Xinyi, and 1,000 people from among the believers. It was led by Ling 18, and Luo was the deputy. Before Ling 18 converged, he was commanded by Luo Xuan. The task of the front army is to charge into battle and be the vanguard of the army.
The rear army was led by Meng, and the original beggar leader Qian Duo was his deputy, and 3,000 men and horses were drawn from the believers to them. The task is to act as the rearguard of the army, focusing on protecting children and the elderly, who have no combat effectiveness.
The Chinese army was personally commanded by Li Yunzhong, and the 3,000 people who had been trained for the longest time were incorporated into the 2,000 people brought by Su Sanniang, and in order to appease this part of the people's hearts, Su Sanniang was appointed as the deputy commander.
The left army was led by Hu Yihuang and Zhang Weikun was the deputy, and 4,000 people were selected from among the believers, and the task was to protect the Chinese army and support the front army.
The right army was led by Zhang Suimou, and Zeng Shuiyuan, who had outstanding performance during the mission, was the deputy who was the one who had been imprisoned with Li Yunzhong and was rescued together. The remaining elite more than 3,000 people were all incorporated into the right army. The task is also to support the forward and protect the Chinese army.
Li Yunzhong also organized all the more than 5,000 women into a women's army, let Lin Daji manage it, let the wives of several elder brothers be deputies, and selected 1,000 of them to dare to go into battle to kill the enemy to Su Sanniang's command, and set up a boy scout for children over the age of eight and under the age of 16 as a backup, and children under the age of eight followed their mothers. The task of the women's army is to haul grain and grass, build equipment and other logistics.
When it comes to the issue of military power, Li Yunzhong does not dare to be ambiguous, and all of them let the elder brothers who are sworn to serve as commanders.
It took another day for the scattered crowd to become orderly. Lieutenant General Li Yun set up the meeting place at Wang Gang's house, and now Wang Gang and Wang Xin are both brigade commanders in Li Yunzhong's Chinese army, and the remaining two brigade commanders are Li Desheng and Liu Cai, a brave general in Su Sanniang's army.
Li Yunzhong saw that the main characters had arrived, and said, "Since we have rebelled, we must notify Mr. Hong and Mr. Feng." In addition, I have sent people to contact Yang Xiuqing from Guiping County and Qin Rigang from Gui County, and they have also agreed to start an incident and have ordered the believers to camp. Li Yunzhong completely wanted to get Yang Xiuqing's appearance when he received the letter, the God Worship Sect in the Bauhinia Mountain area was completely unprepared, and if the officers and soldiers sent troops from Xunzhou Prefecture, they would have to pass through Bauhinia Mountain and Jintian Town. Don't think about it, Yang Xiuqing will also think that it is coming for them. had to help Li Yunzhong resist the officers and soldiers coming from the west.
Seeing that everyone was smiling when they heard the news, Li Yunzhong said again: "I think, now that the imperial court has not sent troops to attack us, I will mention the main direction of our righteous army, and the west will not be careless, with Yang Xiuqing and them there, we will first capture Pingnan County, then go down to Teng County, and finally fight Wuzhou Mansion, and join Ling Shibai who came from Xinyi County." also see if you can get Mr. Hong and Mr. Feng. Li Yunzhong didn't want Ling Shibai to be abandoned in Guangxi to contain the Qing army like history, and he committed suicide by jumping into a well after being defeated.
"The task of the left army is to sweep away the Qing army in the townships and collect grain, while the right army rushes to Tengxian first, contacts the believers, and drives the Qing army to the county seat as much as possible. In the women's battalion, the boy scouts rested in place, and the rest of the men and horses followed me to attack the county seat.
The county commander Ni Tao didn't think that the anti-thieves would come to attack the county seat again, and the appearance of anti-thieves under his rule was enough to dismiss and investigate, if the county was to be occupied by the anti-thieves, then he would be exiled at least and beheaded at worst. When the first time the thieves besieged the city, he was ready to live and die with the city, fortunately, the ancestors blessed, the thieves saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of and retreated, at that time they were still thinking, they had better go to harm other counties, but I didn't expect to surround it again after only a day.
The master standing next to him was worried, "The anti-thieves go and return, I'm afraid they are determined to win the county, the county should be prepared early, there are still many big families in the county, should they be allowed to make some efforts, after all, the anti-thieves enter the city, they also want to ruin the family." ”
