Chapter 18: The Strategy of the Uprising
As time passed, the townspeople who participated in the riots were bound to regret and fear the Empire, and even wanted to go to Pingcheng overnight to report the news in order to atone for their sins.
The failure of the uprising in the game is also due to the fact that many people do not really want to rebel, and there is no strong leader, so a large number of people flee and report on the way, and the natural failure is complete.
Therefore, Zhou Ping was ordered to block the road to Pingcheng and stop the people who fled to report the news. Although the government will know the news sooner or later, it is good that it can be delayed for three or four days. When those officials found out that something was wrong, sent people to investigate and then went back to prepare for counterinsurgency, Yang Qi had already established the organizational structure of the rebel army and began to attack cities everywhere.
No matter how reluctant Wang Qian and his family were to follow the rebellion, they were already on the thief ship, and it was too late to come down again. It's not that more than 50 young adults have been honestly recruited, and then blood-stained townspeople and homeless people have been recruited, and the general structure of an insurrectionary army has been erected.
Yang Qi needs an elite force that can fight at a critical moment, and at the moment of recruitment, he is instructed to keep improving, and finally he is a strong man to form a reliable armed force.
As for the military system, the players in "Empire" have a variety of tricks, and they have all kinds of formations. But Yang Qi had no intention of messing around, and was ready to continue to use the standards of the Great Hong Empire.
A group of five, a team of ten, a battalion of 100, and a battalion of 1,000 people.
"Marshal, if you want to submit your name, aren't the wardens and officers and soldiers the best choice, everyone has a knife, which means that there is no room for regret?"
Yang Qi glanced at Li Wu, worthy of being an old fritter in officialdom, and immediately changed his title. I am very pleased with the change in his attitude.
"By night, the townsfolk gradually came to their senses, and some were afraid of the empire and were not really willing to rebel. They will take advantage of the cover of the night to escape, and these people will go with them, and they will not be stopped. But if it's a ...... who escaped to Pingcheng County to report the news"
Yang Qi paused, his face showing a fierce murderous aura.
"I have sent Zhou Ping to block the road in Pingcheng County, and as soon as someone walks from this road at night, I will immediately seize it. In order to establish a real rebel army, they and the heads of the officers and soldiers are needed to sacrifice the flag! Cut off the townspeople's luck mentality. ”
After Li Wu heard this, he took a long breath and clasped his fists.
"Dashuai is really a good means!"
Yang Qi smiled without saying a word, and Li Wu continued.
"The biggest problem now is that there is no food and grass to replenish, and it will inevitably collapse in three days at most. I don't know what countermeasures the marshal has? ”
Yang Qi pondered for a while, but did not answer, after a moment.
"Brother Li, the successful uprisings in the past dynasties are often a well-organized preparation for more than ten years or even longer, before they can set off a huge momentum in one fell swoop. How did we rush into an uprising, and we were a bunch of untrained peasants, to drive them to attack the city and plunder the land? ”
"I want to hear about it"
"Hunger! Only hunger and death can dispel their fear of the empire and its officers and soldiers, and only in this way can more displaced people be driven to join. ”
"The commander is clever, but the rebel armies of the past dynasties have no discipline, specializing in attacking cities and plundering land, destroying production, and most of them cannot get the support of wealthy families, and their weak forces are vulnerable."
When Yang Qi heard these insightful words, he couldn't help but be impressed by Li Wu, every peasant uprising in all dynasties and dynasties started with famine and displaced people, destroying production everywhere, and artificially creating a greater famine. These pioneers are usually the characters who open the way for the true king, without the participation of wealthy families, soldiers, and scholars, and there are few kings and teachers, which actually determines the strength of the power.
"That's right, the only way now is to drive the homeless people to create more homeless people, only in the case of chaos, we can fish in troubled waters, and when we train a group of elite soldiers, we can take a base area and develop slowly. It was a different story then. ”
Occupy a base area, and it is easy to be exterminated by the concentration of forces of the empire. But as long as you resist the siege of the empire, there will be local tyrants and scholars to join, and if you divide the land, you will be able to form a force of your own, and the potential will be far greater than that of the displaced people.
"What the marshal said is very true, but it is not easy to say." Li Wu smiled bitterly.
Yang Qi laughed and said incomprehensibly: "I already have a decision, you will know when you arrive." ”
Li Wu was surprised, it seems that Yang Qi's rebellion is not just a joke, if it is really as he said, maybe he can really establish a career.
Yang Qi asked Li Wu to train the more than fifty young adults sent by the Wang Qian family, as well as more than twenty members of the supervision team. It doesn't require them to have much combat power, as long as they can understand a simple line of troops and know how to obey orders.
This requirement is not too simple for the citizens of the original Earth Federation. Elementary school students who have undergone military training can do a good job by pulling out any one. But for these illiterate peasants, trying to make them understand the left and right and the queue is comparable to ascending to the sky.
If you don't have enough time to train consistently, you can't train at all.
Li Wu is also aware of this, although only
