Chapter 79 The Times
Zhou Xiuying seemed to ask casually, but as soon as she finished speaking, her pair of talking star eyes had already stared at Liu Chang, and her hands unconsciously grabbed her slashing sabre.
Not only her, almost all the old subordinates of the Xiaodao Society were concerned about this issue. They wanted to know how Liu Chang would deal with their Xiaodao Society's old subordinates. At least they could not make people feel cold like the heavenly kingdom treats Xiaodao.
Liu Chang had a plan: "Miss Xiuying, my team has just opened. It is very simple. I can only force the brothers from Xiaodaohui to make a whistle first, and Miss Xiu will be the commander of the whistle."
Zhou Xiuying was a female general who commanded hundreds of people in the Xiaodao Club. She repeatedly defeated the Qing army. In the fourth year of Xianfeng, she even led 200 soldiers out of Shanghai to defeat Taiyong. However, although there is only one whistle leader now, she at least preserved the remaining part of the Tiandihui.
Liu Chang continued: "The rule here is to have three rows of each mail, three squads of each mail, and ten people in each mail. There are a total of hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers and each mail. Miss Xiu, you will arrange the brothers and sisters you bring freely. I will add thirty Dongxiang veterans, plus fifty Qing soldiers captured by Panshi Village the previous time."
This may have set up a whistle-like airplane. Zhou Xiuying didn't expect that Liu Chang not only did not dismantle her old subordinates from the Xiaodao Club into her own troops, but instead supplemented her with one hundred people. This was a real surprise. Her hand was released from the sabre: "Xiuying thanked me for the inspection!"
However, Liu Chang said: "Miss Xiuying, I also talk about ugly things ahead. I treat people with sincerity and hope that you can treat me with sincerity! Our Red Turban Army has little capital. The reason why the Qing army can handle the Qing army to the end is that the military discipline is as iron as iron, orders are prohibited, and there is no violation of the people!"
He knew that although the Xiaodao Uprising was called the Xiaodao Uprising, it was actually a major alliance between multiple local and foreign gangs in Shanghai. The party system alone had almost seven different local and foreign gangs. The alliance between so many gangs inevitably caused a lot of scum, not to mention that these gangs and the mountain competed for power and profit, and the two largest gangs, the Fujian Gang and the Guangdong Gang, were even too hot.
Zhou Xiuying himself was from a small rich family in the countryside of Qingpu and had experienced so many disputes within Xiaodaohui. He understood Liu Chang's intentions: "I am a countryman from Qingpu. The dog officials in the county are too hateful. They have been famine for years and the countrymen are unable to survive. But the dog officials still have to pursue the money and food from a few years ago. Don't think that we rural people don't know anything. Those money and food have long been posted on the exempted imperial list. It is really the officials who force the people to rebel, and they have to rebel!"
"If we can survive, who will do this beheading and rebellion? We are doing things for heaven. We must be strict in military discipline and prohibitions, and we will not violate the people. I agree with Xiuying with one hundred!"
She knelt down to Liu Chang: "The inspection is worthy of us, and we are worthy of our inspection. After the inspection is true, we will become our lord. Let us go east and go west, and we will never ask any more questions!"
Not only Zhou Xiuying, but these old subordinates of the Xiaodao Society also knelt down for Liu Chang. In their eyes, although Liu Jiandian is too young, he has been their leader since now: "Whatever Jiandian says, we will do it, and what if he says, it is not. Who dares to violate military discipline? I, Zhou Xiuying, chop him up with one knife!"
"Okay!" Liu Chang had already held Zhou Xiuying's hand and held her up: "Miss Xiu, I'll entrust this whistle to you now!"
Zhou Xiuying also stood up openly: "The great kindness of the prosecutor, Zhou Xiuying will repay her death. However, I would like to ask you, what is your idea of the kingdom of heaven!"
She had no doubt that Liu Chang, the Thirty-Six Tester in front of the Palace, was a fake.
Liu Chang's appearance was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but at this time the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did produce many extremely young generals. When these generals led the army, they were not inferior to those veterans in their fifties and sixties in the Qing army.
The typical example of this kind of young general is Chen Yucheng. He was born in 1837. Last year (1854, the fourth year of Xianfeng), when the Taiping Army conquered Wuchang again, he personally led 500 warriors to the city of Wuchang, and the brigade continued to advance, conquering Wuchang City in one fell swoop. The 18-year-old Chen Yucheng was successfully promoted to the 30th right inspection point in the palace and commanded the rear thirteenth army and the front four armies of the water camp. He was already the commander of tens of thousands of troops.
Chen Yucheng's thirty-fourth right-hand inspection is the right-hand inspection. Because he is particularly good at using the tactics of returning horses, he is known as the "thirty-fourth inspection and returning horses". Liu Chang is only a little younger than Chen Yucheng, but he seems to be no less wise than Chen Yucheng. It is natural for him to serve as the thirty-six inspection in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Just when it comes to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhou Xiuying will inevitably feel resentment in her stomach.
At the beginning of the rebellion of Xiaodaohui, he did not contact the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but wanted to take advantage of the situation where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept across the south of the Yangtze River to take the opportunity to rise and control one side. Therefore, at the beginning of the rebellion, they used the name of the Ming Kingdom.
However, when the Qing army began to counterattack, Xiaodaohui had to seek support from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They used the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and repeatedly contacted the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, trying to use the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to conquer Shanghai.
However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's poor strategic level has once again made contributions. They did not notice Shanghai's special status in the Far East at all, but only saw that the internal organization of the Xiaodaohui was dispersed, which was completely contrary to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in terms of religion and ideology. They did not give Xiaodaohui or even the situation support. Instead, they publicly stated that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had nothing to do with the Xiaodaohui uprising.
The leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wanted Xiaodao to fight against the Qing army and both sides suffered losses. The Taiping army came out to get a bargain. As a result, in the 17-month Shanghai offensive and defensive battle, Xiaodao always supported the endgame alone, and Xiaodao tried every possible way. However, in a Jedi like Shanghai County, he encountered a joint attack from the Qing army and the British and French army, and he had no choice but to fail.
As for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's resentment, whether it was Zhou Xiuying or the old subordinates of these Xiaodao Society, they were full of resentment, and the question she raised was the most sensitive.
Liu Chang first looked around, then lowered his voice: "I am one of the thirty-six inspection points in front of the Heavenly Kingdom Hall, but I was sent to the Red Turban Army. What do you think I have to do with the Heavenly Kingdom!"
He continued, "Some things can only be done, not said!"
Zhou Xiuying understood, and she bowed directly: "It would be best if Jiandian wants to make a fortune. I don't want to follow those people in Tianjin. I am willing to follow Jiandian to fight for the country and fight for a prosperous future!"
But Zhou Xiuying’s next question is more sensitive: “But since the inspection requires a whole country, I wonder how much capital you have now?”
Liu Chang also told the truth directly: "Liu commanded less than a thousand men and women, and only three mailers could be pulled out directly! However, I not only have the land of Panshi Town, but also have enough time."
He was full of confidence when he spoke, and time was with him.
Heroes create momentum, and momentum create heroes!
