Chapter 94 Rebels come to cast
After walking only fifty miles north from Xuzhou, an uprising army came to join us, which Zhu Cilang did not expect.
There were originally more than 4,000 of these people, but now there are only less than 1,000 left.
They fought with the Qing army here for nearly a month. Because they lacked all kinds of money and food, and had no training, they were defeated repeatedly. However, they did not surrender like the Qing invaders, and were also considered loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of these people's surrender, Zhu Cilang suddenly received 200,000 points of merit, which Zhu Cilang did not expect. One person can count 200 points!
After investigation, more than 500 of them joined the transportation company, and the remaining people were more or less injured. After they opened roads for them, they asked them to go to Xuzhou to recuperate. After the injury healed, Hu Qiang made arrangements as appropriate.
Zhu Cixuan also made a record of the sacrificed uprising army. If he were along the army, the logistics officials would have to send 200 kilograms of white flour.
In today's situation, giving money is useless. The north is so messy, so white flour is hard currency.
Zhu Cixuan's approach was quickly spread, and the rebels in the north felt that His Royal Highness was a wise ruler.
So many people were also ready to come and defect. After all, their personal strength was too small. Continuing to fight guerrillas on the spot could only be slowly eroded by the Qing army.
It is better to join His Royal Highness's army, so that one can save one's own spark, and one can also find a future for oneself.
There are not many individual rebels, some even only have a dozen people, but if they add up, it will be a terrible number.
After two or three days of walking, nearly 10,000 people came in total, which shocked Zhu Cilang. It seemed that the Qing people were indeed unpopular in Shandong.
This also made Zhu Cixuan even more determined to fight the Northern Expedition. If it was delayed, the people in the north might have forgotten the Ming Dynasty. Now is a good time for the Northern Expedition.
In addition to bringing Zhu Cixuan two million points of merit, Zhu Cixuan was also allowed to exchange for 150 instructors for free.
Zhu Cilang trained them while walking and grew up slowly on the battlefield!
When Zhu Cixuan's army arrived in southern Qufu, their total number had risen to 150,000.
Of course, not all the rebels here, and some people can't make it. I heard that as long as you work, you can get white face, so these people also ran over.
Before the war started, the team had doubled, and everyone was happy. After all, the increase in the number of people also represented an increase in chance of winning on the battlefield.
Of course, Zhu Cilang's merit points are also increasing.
But when the number of people reached 150,000, Zhu Cilang was also worried, so in the southern part of Qufu, Zhu Cilang temporarily stopped and set up two training camps here.
Among these people, some strong ones were selected and they were asked to reorganize two infantry regiments and start training here.
The remaining people who were not strong enough were all incorporated into the civilian team, and at the same time, a counter-espionage campaign began.
Each fifteen people form a team and supervise each other. If you find something wrong, you must report to your boss immediately.
The expansion of the team is like blowing air, and no one can guarantee whether there are any Qing spies here, so they are separated from the regular army and wait for a certain period of time before replenishing them into the regular army.
Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan's order was timely, otherwise it would easily lead to big mistakes.
Li Guodong is now complaining to Zhu Cixuan because of these newly-organized troops.
"Your Highness, it's really not that I don't treat them as brothers, but these people can't make me like brothers. They have already told them that the army has been in trouble and cannot bully the local people. But look at what these people do. In one morning, there are hundreds of people who come to me to complain, and there are robberies everywhere."
Although they had a new compilation, these people were used to being free and casual in the past. As long as no one cared about them, they would still follow the previous ones.
Some people were rebels fighting against the Qing army during the day, but became local bandits at night, so although they were given a rank, they still couldn't change their original habits.
"You have to be patient. Have you forgotten when we came out of the capital? Compared with them, the military discipline was not formed in one day. I have prepared more than 500 instructors for them. You can pull it out of your army. From now on, if anyone dares to leave the barracks, he will hang it up and beat me until he is convinced."
Zhu Cilang also knew that Li Guodong had suffered in the past two days.
Li Guodong was already accustomed to commanding regular troops and letting him manage these mobs, so he naturally felt a little dissatisfied. People are like this. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After three months of training for recruits, the imperial army not only learned a series of military skills, various disciplines were also integrated into their heads.
These rebel troops are uneven. Some people can accept all this, but some cannot.
At this time, we need to work hard to guide. After a period of training, if we can accept these rules and regulations, then we will be our brothers.
But if they can't accept it, they can only be assigned to the second batch, either to enter the transport team or to the labor camp. Anyway, their character can no longer enter the regular army.
If we still do our own thing in the second-tier team, then we will do our best to be kind and righteous. Each person will be given 30 kilograms of white flour, so we can do whatever we should do!
"With your words, everything will be easy to deal with. My brothers under my command were unable to let go of their hands and always felt that they were ordinary people, and they were different from our own brothers..."
When Li Guodong said this, Zhu Cilang glared at him, and Li Guodong couldn't continue to say anything.
Although Zhu Cilang has repeatedly made the orders and does not allow the soldiers under his savage training, the army is always different from other organizations. When encountering soldiers who learn more slowly, the instructor will just step up.
Although these people are newly enlisted, the Crown Prince is watching here. You can't treat them with such means. Now that the Crown Prince has let go, I give us half a month to make these rebel soldiers...
