Chapter Seventy-Nine: Emergencies
Qin Yun did this, of course, because he didn't want to attract the attention of the Qing court, but also for the sake of the task. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If the main quest 3 cannot be completed because of him, then it is called a tragedy!
"Lord, there is an urgent report." Just when Qin Yun was full of ambition, Wang Ming hurriedly ran in.
Qin Yun looked at this 'elder', and still had a kindness in his heart: "What's the matter, my eldest minister, in such a hurry?" ”
Wang Ming looked at Qin Yun and calmed down, but he still said anxiously: "Master, something is wrong. I have received definite information that the White Lotus Sect, the Red Spear Society, the Miao Dao Society, the Red Lantern Society, the Nine Immortals Society, the Emperor Society, the Wuji Old Mother Society (Zodiac Society), and the Celestial God Society are colluding with the Twist Army to prepare to besiege our Great Sword Society. ”
"Twister?" Qin Yun noticed the most important point. "Isn't the Twist Army already dead, why did it reappear?"
The Twist Army was a peasant rebel army in the north during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Originated from the twist (a name twisted party), the twist is a secret organization of the people, some say that it was born in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, some say that it appeared in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the members are mainly farmers and handicraftsmen, and the early activities were in the northern Anhui River and the vortex river basin.
In the last years of Jiaqing, there were many twist groups, a few small twists, dozens of people, and one or two hundred large twists. He often escorted illicit salt between Bozhou, Fuyang, Sanhejian, Jiangsu, and Shandong in Anhui, and had armed conflicts with the Qing government, and even rebelled and attacked the city.
In 1853 (the third year of Xianfeng), Twist launched a large-scale uprising under the influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Later, it rose one after another, divided, and declined. By January 1868, Dongzhu was annihilated in the battle of Shouguang in Jiaolai River, Shandong, and Lai Wenguang was captured and killed; In order to rescue the East Twist Army, the West Twist entered and once approached Baoding and Tianjin. In July, in Shandong, the Huai army besieged in the northwest of Shandong, which coincided with heavy rain for several days, and the twisted horses could not gallop, and the western twist was defeated. In August, he was defeated in Chiping, the whole army was annihilated, and Zhang Zongyu crossed the river without knowing what to do, and he threw himself into the river and died. At this point, the Twist Army uprising failed.
Although the strength of the Twist Army is not strong, the quality of the soldiers can only be comparable to that of the Green Battalion Army, and they have been beaten by the Hunan Army and the Huai Army many times. However, the cavalry of the Twist Army galloped across the eight provinces of Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Suzhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Zhi (Hebei) for more than ten years, with a total strength of 200,000 people in its heyday. Even the first general of the Qing Dynasty, who repeatedly defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacks and captured the famous general Li Kaifang, also died in the ambush of the Twist Army, which shows how powerful the Twist Army was in its heyday.
"Huh." Wang Ming smiled bitterly. "It's a troubled time, how can the bandits be cleaned!"
Qin Yun pondered, he knew that his movements in the past six months had been too big, which attracted the covetousness of many sects and the Twist Army. But his time is limited, and even then he feels that it is far from enough, so how can he slow down?
"Call a few ministers and a few commanders to a meeting." Qin Yun opened his mouth, and the members of the Broadsword Team who were guarding the door hurriedly left.
In addition to serving as the top soldier of the army, the Broadsword Team also served as Qin Yun's bodyguard. For this, the Broadsword team and the pro-guard army fought for a long time. In the end, it was the Broadsword Team that was better and served as Qin Yun's bodyguard.
Because of this, Zhao Yong, who had always been in front of Mount Tai and his color remained unchanged, turned blue with anger, and after he went back, the guards were tortured by him with a long cry of mourning. And Qian Yong was even more embarrassed in front of Zhao Yong from time to time, full of pride.
After a short time, several ministers and leaders of the Broadsword Society came one after another.
After everyone sat down, Qin Yun said to Wang Ming, "You tell everyone the specific situation." ”
"Yes." Wang Ming stood up and said. "According to the exact information we have received, the White Lotus Sect, the Red Spear Society, the Miao Dao Society, the Red Lantern Society, the Nine Immortals Society, the Emperor Society, the Wuji Old Mother Society (Zodiac Society), and the Heavenly God Society have ill intentions, colluding with the Twist Army, and are ready to prepare together to besiege our Great Sword Society. Among them, the White Lotus Sect, the Red Spear Society, the Miaodao Society, the Red Lantern Society, the Nine Immortals Society, the Emperor Society, the Wuji Old Mother Society (Zodiac Society), and the Heavenly God Society will all send a large number of elites, and they will come with a group of sect leaders. The most noteworthy thing is the Twist Army, although the Twist Army is now divided into many factions, but this faction is the most powerful of them, with tens of thousands of troops, great ambitions, and wants to reunify the Twist Army, which is also equipped with a lot of shotguns and artillery......"
Qin Yun waited until Wang Ming finished speaking, then motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "What do you think?" ”
Qin Yun has always had a military rule of law, especially during meetings, and he can't speak without his permission. As soon as his words fell, the people below instantly roared.
"What else is there to say, hit the fuck!" The black lord had the most irritable temper, and he couldn't help it for a long time, so he spoke first.
"Yes, ****/mother/of!"
"Hehe, let's not mess with him, they dare to come to the door, it's just looking for death."
"Beat, you must beat hard, they are afraid when they see us."
"The whole army went out and destroyed them all."
“……”
Although he didn't have any good opinions, Qin Yun was still a little comforted when he saw that the people under his subordinates were not a little afraid, and even a few ministers were daring to fight.
"Zhao Yong, what do you think?" Qin Yun's gaze turned to Zhao Yong, who had been calm, and said with a smile.
When the others heard Qin Yun's voice, they all gradually quieted down. After many battles, Zhao Yong has been praised as the second general of the Great Sword Society, and he can't even compare with the name of the king, and everyone is convinced of this.
As for the first general of the Broadsword Society, it is Qin Yun, a 'pseudo-famous general'!
Zhao Yong stood up and looked at Qin Yun's gaze full of light. Then, he looked around and said calmly: "This time, the Twist Army and the White Lotus Sect, the Red Spear Society, the Miaodao Society and many other sects are attacking, I think the most important thing to pay attention to is not the Twist Army, but the White Lotus Sect, the Red Gun Society, the Miaodao Society and other sects. ”
"Yes, the Twist Army is powerful, with tens of thousands of troops and a lot of shotgun artillery. However, among the tens of thousands of them, there are many old and weak women and children, and there are only about 10,000 young and strong people who can really fight, and they are not our opponents at all, and there are traces of them. On the contrary, the White Lotus Sect, the Red Gun Society, the Miaodao Society and other sects have a large number of followers and mysterious methods, and no one knows where they will suddenly come from, walk rumors, and destroy everything about us.
Therefore, the black, white, red, purple, and blue troops are stationed in important places where they cannot be withdrawn, and this involves most of our troops. Moreover, with so many sects joining forces, there must be many masters. If they raid and assassinate, we are very dangerous, and we can't prevent it......"
