Chapter 26 Westward Expedition
As the leader of the Salt Owl, Huo Qiu has his own way of controlling the situation: "What do you think about so much? The suicide squad is the suicide squad. If you encounter a big battle scene, you can send some broken copper and iron for them to fill it in!"
This is the idea of treating this team of green camp soldiers as cannon fodder. Sun Huzi's face changed suddenly, and Qu Jie also had the same idea: "Although these green camp soldiers have given their letter of favour, they are not the same as us after all, and Huo Qiu's idea is better."
Yun Tianzong read more books and knew that Liu Chang would have a deep meaning: "What do you think of the inspection site? You can tell your subordinates, so you can help the inspection site consultants?"
Liu Chang said in a soft voice: "My Red Turban Army is a benevolent and righteous army. It is impossible to use it until it is absolutely necessary. However, if they don't need to be suicide squads, they can only be masters to carry the baggage. Seeing that they are all skilled men, they seem to have done some big problems."
Upon hearing this, someone from the Green Camp soldiers rushed to leave the line and knelt down for Liu Chang: "Check, check, the villain is not only skilled in archery and horses, but also worked as a gunner in Songjiang Camp for six or seven years. If you don't dislike it, the villain can not only serve the adults in front of the horses, but also use artillery to kill the enemy."
This time, there were several small cannons in the seizure in Yueqing City, but all of them were captured by Qu Zhenhan. Liu Chang had no cannon under his command: "I don't have artillery in my hand. Even if you can use artillery, it's useless."
Liu Chang's image in the eyes of these green camp soldiers was a thunder god of killing. When he heard him speak in a good voice, the green camp soldiers below became enthusiastic: "A villain can also rush the cannon!"
"The villain's shotgun is good, it is a well-known accurate gun in the entire association."
"The villain has no other advantage, he is able to work hard."
"The villain once opened a restaurant outside the camp, and everyone praised the food they cooked."
The Green Camp soldier talked about his strengths, and the gunner who took the lead said again: "The little people have handed over the letter of the title, and they can't go back to the Qing Yao side. They are sincerely following the inspection to do something big."
"May I have your name?"
The gunner immediately replied: "The villain is called Zhou Yipeng!"
"Okay!" Liu Chang made up his mind: "You follow me to Yongjia. If you do things well, I will find you a cannon, and..."
He said to Huo Qiu: "Brother Huo, Sun Huzi may not be able to suppress the scene by himself. You can lend a few brothers to Sun Huzi for the scene by raising the scene."
Huo Qiu was about to speak, but Qu Jie rushed to say: "Check it out. Among our brothers who were intercepted by Deputy General Ni, many of them admired Jianitong and were determined to come back. It would be better to let them help Sun Huzi Town first."
"Okay! Time is rushed, so it's best to let them come here today and come in handy when they go to Yongjia tomorrow!"
Before proving their loyalty, these green camp soldiers still acted as bare-handed mentors, making roads, chopping firewood and boiling water, which are their responsibilities. Liu Chang was not absolutely relieved of them, and he still sent someone to help Sun Huzi calm down the situation.
Seeing that Liu Chang's arrangement was not wrong, these green camp soldiers kowtowed to Liu Chang again: "The villain must do his best to provide inspections."
By that night, the suicide squad had begun to take shape. In addition to Sun Huzi and seventeen Green Camp soldiers, seven of the brothers who were intercepted by Dragon Gun Shou came back to serve. They are now temporarily promoted to small leaders in the team, and they are in charge of these Green Camp soldiers for Sun Huzi.
On the morning of December 24, the fourth year of Xianfeng, Yueqing County.
The small school ground was already full of joy. Qu Zhenhan had three camps under his command, the left, middle and right. Each camp was divided into front and back camps. There were many veterans in the front camp and strong combat power. He was preparing to go out as a mobile force. The back camp was basically new recruits and was responsible for staying behind.
This time, Qu Zhenhan spent a lot of money. The front battalion of the Left Army, the front battalion of the Right Army, and the middle battalion were all dispatched together. There were four invader battalions, with more than two thousand troops in battle. He shouted at the school ground: "Brothers, today is the day for us to soar into the sky! Do you have the confidence to win in one battle?"
The soldiers were in high spirits and did not fluctuate by the episode before the night: "Master, have confidence!"
"As long as you win, Jiangbei will be ours!" Qu Zhenhan shouted loudly: "Everyone will have a wealth at that time."
He was very moved: "As long as this battle is won, I will personally take the stage to give you an official position, and I will have the right and left prime ministers, generals, and magistrates of Yongjia County. As long as I work hard, everyone will have a chance."
The mood became even more intense. The reason why everyone risked their lives to join the Red Turban Army was that although officials forced the people to rebel without a way out, it was not for the sake of great wealth.
Prime Minister, general, garrison, and county magistrate are all titles that everyone only hears in the plays. They only see a classic history in their lives. Some people have never even come to the county town once, but now the opportunity is right in front of them, and no one is excited.
"This is the country we have built. Of course, we old brothers will take a seat. Are you talking about it? Liu Changliu checked, are you talking about it?"
Liu Chang is now very famous in the Red Turban Army, second only to the Grand Marshal Qu Zhenhan. He immediately said: "That's right. If we can accomplish things in this Western Expedition, we can be granted a title of marquis and prime ministers. If we cannot accomplish things, we will die and die, and the rise and fall of the Hong Army will be here! We will become a dragon and an insect today!"
"The rise and fall of the Hong Army, and this battle will last forever, will be today!"
Qu Zhenhan also took advantage of everyone's high mood and shouted: "The army is expeditioning the west! Follow me!"
The part of the Red Turban Army's Western Expedition is equivalent to Yongjia County, which was divided after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In this time and space, it is only the Jiangbei part of Yongjia County.
Yongjia County in this time and space is a super big county, equal to the four county-level districts of Wenzhou City (Lucheng, Longwan, Ouhai Districts, namely the Jiangnan part) and Yongjia County after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Jiangnan part can be said to be the essence of the whole prefecture, while the Jiangbei part can only be said to be the suburbs of Yongjia County.
However, there are many benefits to the expedition to the north of Jiangbei. First, the ruling power is weak. There are no Green Camp soldiers garrisons, only a few Flood soldiers and inspection departments guarding various places. At most, there are only 30 to 40 Qing soldiers garrisons, and two thousand troops can easily crush them.
Secondly, although the north of Yongjia River is a suburb, it is also quite rich, and it is enough to provide thousands of troops.
Third, the people in the mountainous areas of Nanxi were handsome and had a tradition of anti-Qing civil reform. Before the Red Turban Army rebelled, they had contacted the powerful people in the Nanxi area. Many local tyrants were willing to raise an army to respond. However, before the launch, there was a problem with the Red Turban Army responding in Wenzhou, and more than ten people were arrested. However, as long as the troops entered Nanxi, they would definitely respond with one call.
Liu Chang and Qu Zhenhan were walking together, talking about the issue of the division of Yongjia. This was Liu Chang's suggestion last night. He proposed to divide the Jiangbei of Yongjia like the one after the founding of the People's Republic of China to reward merit: "Where can be discussed slowly, the key is to set the county magistrate as soon as possible, this is the backbone of the whole county!"
Ni Tingmo bit his lip. He really wanted to take the position of the Yongjia County Magistrate. Unlike those prime ministers and generals, this is a real prince, and it can even be said to be a king who is standing side by side. However, he was a little hesitant. Once he became the Yongjia County Magistrate, he would definitely leave the core leadership of the Red Turban Army for a while. Will any changes happen?
"A good test! As long as you make great contributions, the county magistrate of this new county will be yours!" Qu Zhenhan cheered up a group of subordinates: "Although the county magistrate is small, he is Bailihou."
Ge Mengjin next to him was also interested, but although this new county is good, it is not close to the sea, which does not meet his expectations: "Zhenhai, my wife sent me here just now and sent good news!"
"Did your soldiers bombard the city?" This news happened yesterday, and Qu Zhenhan just received it: "I heard that the battle results are good. I'm working. Two thousand five hundred taels of silver will be given to the fifth master immediately!"
Ge Mengjin was not anxious and slowed down: "No, no! Of course, my wife did shoot the Fucheng one morning yesterday morning, and dozens of large and small cannons were bombed for the whole morning, and hundreds of shells were fired, destroying dozens of artillery batteries, killing and killing more than a hundred wounded soldiers, but this is not what I want to say."
"My wife has sent a message. She has locked the river in Lingkun area and sent boats to bombard Panshi Town. The Tartars cannot send one soldiers and one soldiers across the river, nor can they draw one soldiers out of the stone."
Qu Zhenhan naturally breathed a sigh of relief. This was indeed the best news for the Red Turban Army's Western Expedition. Yueqing County could be safe and sound: "Thank you, Wu Madam, this is a great good thing."
"It's just that my wife asked me to bring a word. Marshal Qu said that as long as one shot is fired, there will be 2,500 taels of silver. We have fired so many shots and worked so hard, how much should we get?"
"Is this?" Qu Zhenhai was really hard to answer: "How much should the fifth lady take?"
Liu Chang easily avoided this question: "It depends on how much I got this Western Expedition, I can't lose to the fifth master!"
As he was talking, good news was already coming ahead.
"Shuangxixun has been taken down, and the 17th Fen soldiers have been surrendered."
"The inspection department has been broken, killed six Qing Yao people and captured thirty-four..."
"Shi Hai, a powerful tyrant in Shi Village, led twenty righteous soldiers to come and serve..."
"Our soldiers easily defeated Liu Yuxun..."
"The gentry from Dingcun sent five big pigs and made a hundred stagnant of money..."
"There are also volunteers coming to serve..."
After hearing so much good news, Liu Chang immediately smiled and said, "The more our army gains, the more the fifth lady can get."
Qu Zhenhan also nodded, and was about to speak, but saw someone running wildly in front of him, panting: "Sir Qu, I found a large group of Qing soldiers ahead!"
