Chapter 1370, Peng Guoxin, the enemy of the left king
He didn't want his sister and brother-in-law to complain if they found out.
What needs to be explained here is that my sister and brother-in-law have moved back to the county seat.
After all, the war was far away. Although he could eat and drink for free while living in the Taoist temple, Fang Xiuyun's temper was definitely not capable of such a thing, so as early as three months ago, her sister's family moved back to the county town.
However, since Fang Xiaoyue gave a sum of money to let her sister's family open a restaurant in the county town, the income was pretty good, so Fang Xiaoyue didn't need to worry about her sister's family's life.
Dismissing the somewhat dejected Li Cunmang, Fang Xiaoyue blessed herself with a magical talisman and ran into the mountains at five times the normal speed like a galloping horse.
Arriving near a mountain with beautiful mountains and clear waters, Fang Xiaoyue summoned the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman that had been cultivated in her mind.
Once the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman was summoned, under the setting sun, its own shimmer and reflected light were mixed together, like a small sun suspended above Fang Xiaoyue's head.
Fang Xiaoyue pinched a seal on her hand and gave a light drink, then the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman immediately produced a cloud of yellow smoke.
This yellow smoke turned into a yellow scarf warrior more than three meters tall in a few breaths and knelt in front of Fang Xiaoyue.
Under Fang Xiaoyue's command, the yellow turban warrior immediately demonstrated his abilities such as breaking rocks with his fists, flying, spitting out yellow sand, etc.
It has to be said that Fang Xiaoyue can clearly feel that the yellow scarf summoned by this yellow scarf talisman is more than 50% stronger than the ordinary talisman!
This already satisfied him very much.
After all, it has just been bound. After waiting for some time, after this Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman continues to strengthen, the Yellow Turban Hercules summoned by it will become more powerful.
After confirming that her system of cultivating immortals was on the right path, Fang Xiaoyue felt very satisfied.
However, with the passage of time, the huge war potential of the Qinglong Kingdom has been gradually redeveloped.
Of course, it is not the official army that has been corrupted to the extreme, but the regiment training organized by the gentry from all over the country.
Some of these regiment training were destroyed in the first battle, and even the gentry who organized the regiment training and personally served as the general manager of the regiment training perished in the battle for the Kingdom of God on earth.
But there are also some team players who, after experiencing the baptism of war, have become stronger and stronger as they fight.
Among them was a gentleman named Peng Guoxin.
This gentleman had a reputation as a civil servant, but after passing the exam, he frequently went to Beijing to take the exam and failed in the exam. Therefore, after failing several times, he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to apply for a replacement position.
But he had bad luck, and he was assigned to remote mountainous areas several times.
The most terrible thing is that after he rushed to take office several times, he had to resign due to sudden illness.
After doing this several times, he had no choice but to accept his fate, return to his hometown, inherit the family business honestly, and become a gentry roaming the countryside.
But this time during the chaos in the Kingdom of God on earth, the imperial court actually banned group training, which gave him hope.
In order to have another chance in his official career, he resolutely sold all his family property, applied for group training, purchased weapons, etc., recruited 500 people, and formed a group training.
In this short period of six months, Peng Guoxin led his team to fight more than 20 battles, large and small, and made a lot of achievements in resisting the northward army of the Kingdom of God on the ground.
Now Peng Guoxin is no longer the leader of the small group training, but the general manager of the group training of the entire Luo Province!
His subordinates have more than 30,000 direct members of the regiment recruited from his hometown alone, and there are more than 20 regiments attached to him.
But this person is particularly willing to devote himself to military training.
Regardless of whether it was his own family property, rewards from the court, or even private spoils of war, looted from some gentry, he devoted himself to group training.
Not only did they purchase the best fast guns (flintlock muskets) from the great powers, but they also purchased a batch of fast cannons from the great powers, as well as carriages to pull the fast cannons, etc.
In addition, during his team training, except when fighting, he had to practice more than three days a week, and he was not willing to invest in food. Big fat pigs were sent to the military camp for slaughter every day.
In addition, as long as he wins the battle, his rewards are also extremely generous, without any stinginess.
In this way, you will have good weapons, good food, good training, and generous rewards to boost your morale.
Such an army is a truly powerful army in the Qinglong Kingdom of this era!
Those officers and soldiers, not to mention that their pay is often in arrears, train once a week, don't even eat pigs for food, win battles without even having a hair on their head, etc. If such officers and soldiers can win the battle, it is God's fault. blind.
In short, the villagers were rushing to join Peng Guoxin's regiment to train and make a fortune, and if the officers and soldiers were not restrained by military torture, probably all the soldiers inside would have escaped.
In a battle commanded by Commander Huang, Peng Guoxin led the Luo army in a retrograde march into the main camp of the Divine Army on the ground, and cut off the commander's flag. Peng Guoxin was quickly transferred to Liujiang Province by the imperial court, and wanted to borrow The powerful Luo army defeated the powerful Zuo Wang.
This approach is not surprising.
A military leader like Peng Guoxin, who had risen from the local level, was not welcomed by the generals at all. And a scholar like Governor Huang who was a scholar, also looked down on Peng Guoxin, who was a civil servant.
Besides, Peng Guoxin was so good at fighting and his achievements were getting more and more. Even Supervisor Huang couldn't think of any way to reward him for a while.
After all, Governor Huang did not have the official seal in his hand. He only had the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and it was impossible for him to promote Peng Guoxin.
You must know that the position held by Peng Guoxin as the General Office of the Youth League Training of Luo Province is actually a temporary official title that will not be recognized by the officials. It will definitely be revoked as soon as the war is over.
In addition, the army of the Kingdom of God on the ground heading north had been beaten to pieces. Governor Huang felt that it would not be difficult to wipe out the remaining bandits with his own wisdom, so he simply reported it to the court and asked the Luo army to go to Liuzhou. Jiang Province annihilates the false left king!
Of course, as for Commander Huang's death in a big battle, it only shows that his commanding ability is really not good enough.
Soon the Luo army, whose number swelled to 80,000, arrived in Liujiang Province.
However, this time the court still gave Peng Guoxin some benefits and gave him the title of a doctor in the Ministry of War's chariot driving department.
Well, this doctor is of the fifth rank. To put it bluntly, he is in charge of the country's horse administration and evangelical affairs.
Of course, the title Peng Guoxin is the same as the title of Minister of the Ministry of War held by Governor Huang. It is only used to determine the rank and has no real power.
Peng Guoxin's real power lies only in his Luo army.
Of course, even this gave Peng Guoxin the confidence to deal with officials in Liujiang Province. At least he would not feel inferior to any official official like before.
From this, the great enemy of His Royal Highness the Zuo King and even the Kingdom of God on earth appeared.
