Chapter 87 Ruian City

The army advanced southward and looked around from Liu Chang. The mountains were covered with yellow battle flags, soldiers wrapped in four-foot red turbans, and long snake-like baggage mules and horses.

The rear team that started crossing the river early in the morning had already caught up. Now Liu Chang's unit is almost the firefighting team for the entire army, so it is in the middle of the army.

Yu Village, who came from Pingyang County to ask for help, was posted next to Liu Chang. Does he know whether he can successfully get the help this time, and the key is still on Liu Chang.

"Check it out. My elder brother Zhao Qi is a famous man in the whole mansion. Although he has no fame, he is good at kung fu and has made friends with all good men in the world. He usually helps the weak and the poor and is famous in the south and north of the Yangtze River. Even when he comes to Fujian, he knows that our elder brother Zhao's name is like timely rain."

Liu Chang nodded and asked casually: "Brother Zhao is from Qiancang, right?"

He already knew that the origin of this so-called red money army was the famous money club in history. However, in history, the money club was not officially established in the eighth year of Xianfeng, and has maintained its legal components since then. It was not until the eleventh year of Xianfeng that the White Bus Association was forced to uprising under the oppression of the White Bus Association.

But in this time and space, the uprising of the Red Turban Army, which was as powerful as a fire, made Zhao Qi's uprising several years ago. Yu Cun nodded and said, "Yes, I know my Brother Zhao's name?"

"Yes!" Liu Chang replied: "I have long admired Daming."

Yu Cun looked at Liu Chang again, and then at the uniform dragon gun whistle behind him: "The inspector is indeed a good soldier. With a strong soldier like the Dragon Gun, why worry about not being able to break Rui'an City? This time I have to rely more on the inspector."

"You're welcome." Liu Chang laughed and said, "Mr. Yu also gave a reward of ten thousand gold. Please rest assured that this ten thousand taels of silver will definitely be worth the money."

But Yu Cun was a little anxious, and he said again: "As long as the two armies merge, no matter how much money they spend, it is worth it. But why don't you offer a large reward to recruit warriors?"

After Liu Chang crossed the river, he immediately received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver from Qu Zhenhan. However, after receiving the heavy money, he did not use the heavy money to share it with his subordinates to win people's hearts, but sent a team of people to send the heavy money back to Panshi Village.

According to Yu Village's idea, since he got this money, he would share a portion and offer a reward of a large sum of money, which is the best way to increase morale. Why did Liu Chang do the opposite?

Liu Chang laughed and said, "Mr. Yucun is wrong. Look at my dragon gun whistle, what is the military appearance?"

The Dragon Gun Shou is now wearing a new suit, with a foreign gun on his shoulders and a clean military appearance. He is definitely a first-class strong soldier. Yu Village couldn't help but exclaim: "The Dragon Gun Shou should be the best in the entire army!"

"Military governance should start with little things. Usually, it is better to have fun with the army in a gentle breeze and drizzle than to offer rewards at the moment. I have never treated these brothers unfairly in Panshi Village. Usually, the military pay is abundant, and the military needs are the best for them. It is not that I am greedy for the money of Shuai Qu and Brother Zhao. It is really not easy to raise this army. Mr. Yu, how much is the foreign gun on their shoulders worth?"

Yu Cun hesitated for a moment and said a number: "Will it cost more than ten gold?"

"A foreign gun costs thirty silver dollars!" Liu Chang continued: "The medicines are all foreign medicines used. I bought them from Shanghai. I have prepared all the military salary, military food, clothing and pensions for them, so that they can go into battle without any worries!"

Yu Cun praised: "A good judgement is better than a heavy reward for doing so."

Liu Chang sighed: "It's just too much money. Don't look at me, I have only brought hundreds of soldiers to the formation this time, and I have to spend more than a thousand taels of money before I can take over the formation."

His words were inevitably a bit exaggerated, but Yu Cun was envious and wanted Brother Zhao to raise such an elite group: "Don't worry, since Yu paid the reward of this ten thousand taels of silver, he must be worthy of the inspection even if he lost all his money."

The two were in high spirits, but a messenger rushed to report: "Our army vanguard has passed the Chashan Mountain and will soon enter Ruian County. It is reported that thousands of Ruixian militias have gathered near the county town under the command of Sun Qiangming."

"Very good!" Liu Chang laughed loudly, "Let me see our skills in the Dragon Gun Shrine."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qu Zhenhan had already walked over with the Red Turban Army: "Sun Qiangming is a strong enemy of our army, but I have found out clearly that the person who commanded the front team was Sun Yigu, the yellow-haired child. There is no need to take a look. Please check and put the formation for our army!"

While speaking, Qu Zhenhan was full of confidence.

...

Ruian County has a long history. Luoyang County was established during the Sun Wu period of the Three Kingdoms. In the second year of Tianfu in the Tang Dynasty, there was Baiwuqi City Jiyun Mountain in the north, which was considered auspicious and ordered to change its name to Ruian.

In Ruian County, where the Red Turban Army is about to pass through, soldiers are already gathering everywhere, and militias holding white cloth can be seen everywhere. This is the newly established white cloth party training. Although it has not been established for a long time, the rural market towns are filled with white cloth, and the momentum is no weaker than that of the Red Turban Army.

Ruian County is backed by Feiyun River, and the city walls are filled with green flags and white cloth. Green camp soldiers holding bird guns are short-lived. The white cloth militia stands behind the walls and stares at the outside of the city.

A group of people on the city tower were looking at the north gate, but they saw a field outside the city, which was the place where troops were used.

A fat man said, "It is probably Shaofu's only contribution to the whole county!"

"In-law, you'll be over!"

The person who spoke was Sun Shaofu, whom Qinglian said, his real name was Sun Qianming and his name was Shaofu.

This Sun Qianming is not an ordinary person, it can be said that he is the key to the defense of Ruian and the soul of the White Buhui.

The Sun family of Pangu was originally from Changxi, Fujian. They moved to Ruian during the Five Dynasties. They were a large local landlord family in Ruian. When it came to Sun Qianming's generation, they were even more famous in the county.

Sun Qianming himself was a juren in the fifteenth year of Daoguang. He was a Jinshi in the 21st year. He entered the Hanlin Academy and worked as an editor of the Sanguan. He also served as a co-examination examiner in the 27th year of Daoguang. He achieved the position of political education in Guangxi in the 29th year of Daoguang. He returned to visit his relatives after serving in the second year of Xianfeng. After returning to Ruian, he was ordered to organize a group training in his hometown and donate.

Although he was a visiting relatives on the surface, he spoke much more effective than the magistrate of Ruian. You should know that Sun Qianming was a Jinshi, a Hanlin, a house master, and a third-in-comman in a province like the third-rank academician. He also had a name for organizing a group training and donating matters. He also had an older brother walking in the study room. Not to mention a seventh-rank county magistrate, even a Wen Chudaotai Yu Shufeng, and the Wenzhou magistrate Ruichun had to respect him when he came to him.

The person who spoke to him was the mortal enemy of Sun Qianming's children and the deputy marshal of the Red Turban Army, Ni Tingmo, and Xu Muqian, the landlord of Yueqing County, who was so angry that he handled the donation in Yueqing.

"Shaofu is not more than Qian." Xu Muqian praised: "In the past, bandits surrounded Guilin but failed. You have made great contributions to your in-laws. Today, you are just some red scarf thieves. You can break it without any effort."

Sun Qiangming had seen the real bandit. When he was in the Guangxi academic and political position, it happened that the Tianjing uprising in the Heavenly Kingdom swept across Guangxi. He even participated in the battle of the siege of Guilin and personally led his subordinates to defend the city.

Xu Muqian's words made him feel confident: "The method of rattan bamboo needles used by the red scarf thief is used to use the Guangdong thief's western provinces, and it is easy to break it. Today's patients..."

"But Liu Jue's family is a thief!"

Xu Muqian quickly asked, "What method should I use to destroy this thief Liu Juehu?"
