Chapter 235 An Ideological and Political Lesson of Jin Wuwei
The sound of killing in the south of the city was loud. The rebels and officers and soldiers were fighting in the trenches in darkness. Under the light of swords and arrows, a group of panic-stricken refugees were struggling to dig in the soil.
With a creak, the wooden door of the city tower opened. Zhou Yuji and others turned around when they heard the sound, and saw Chang Yu and Zhu Shenxuan coming out.
The two of them only glanced towards the south, then hurriedly got on their horses and headed straight to the east.
"You have such a big heart," Wang Jimo shook his head slightly and said in a low voice. Cai Maode next to him looked at Chang Yu and his entourage with a serious expression as they walked away in silence.
Chengbei Daying
The bandit army came to the city, and almost all the troops in the city were mobilized. The military camp was empty, but the security was still tight. After all, Chang Yu's millions of wages and the temporary military factory he had set up were kept here.
The so-called military factories are firearms craftsmen mobilized from Taiyuan and nearby areas to make gunpowder shells and improvised explosives.
Chang Yu and his group came in a hurry. They didn't go to the military factory or count the money. They went straight to a corner of the military camp.
There are nearly ten thousand cavalry here resting and recuperating, and the emperor's personal soldiers Jinwu Guards have just arrived from the capital.
When this group of troops left the city, their whereabouts were a mystery, and only a few commanders knew about their mission, thinking they were here to escort money.
In fact, they were a life-saving gift from Chongzhen to Chang Yu!
And now Chang Yu has to find a way to make this pot of charcoal burn vigorously.
No one wants to go to war because people will die in war, especially soldiers in this era. They don’t have a strong sense of honor in defending their home and country. They stutter because they really can’t survive. It’s the so-called era when good men don’t serve in the army.
Most of the nearly 10,000 Jinwu Guards cavalry arrived in Taiyuan in confusion, and most of them thought they were just here to work as bodyguards for pay.
However, when they realized that they were about to go to the battlefield and were outside the city, most people were silent and panicked.
As the emperor's personal guards, there is no doubt that they are paid better than ordinary soldiers, are well-equipped, have a false status, and can even be said to be well-trained. However, in terms of actual combat ability, these personal guards who circle around the palace every day in the capital are still
He was really no match for the ordinary soldiers in the city who looked thin and sallow, but were actually experienced in bloody storms and a life of death.
Strength can be honed slowly, but what he urgently needs at this time is mental comfort, which is what Chang Yu first considers. Otherwise, no matter how well-equipped this person is, they will not be able to be reused without morale and fighting spirit.
A corner of the camp near the northeast city wall was filled with dust. The nearly 10,000 Jinwu Guards who had just taken a short rest gathered together, with different expressions, but they were all heavy. After all, the process of transforming from a watchman to a warrior was a bit too fast.
Many people are not used to it. At first glance, they are likely to be slightly panicked.
Dede, dede, dozens of war horses came running from a distance. The guards who were still whispering suddenly became much quieter. Looking up, they saw four commanders, who quickly walked up to meet them.
"Then, is that man Eunuch Chang?" Someone shouted softly with sharp eyes, and there was a ripple around him.
Chang Yu was well-known in Taiyuan City, and everyone in the local civil servants, military, generals and wealthy families heard of his power. However, compared with his fame in the palace, it was nothing compared to his fame. Not only the emperor's family, but also the eunuchs.
Having said that, who among the Imperial City Guards has never heard the saying: The Imperial City is number one in fists and kicks, and it is the only way to deal with the disobedience of the Imperial Guards.
It can be said that no one in the emperor's 26th Guards has heard of his name, although only a few have seen him.
At this time, Chang Yu was wearing helmet and armor, fully armed, and his body was covered in blood and mud. It looked like he had just come off the battlefield. He was riding a horse, with murderous aura spreading all over his body, which made people shudder. When nearly ten thousand guards saw him, they instantly became silent.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, we are all here." Lu Xing, Zhang Ji and others, the four commanders of the Jinwu Guards, saluted forward.
Chang Yu hummed, glanced coldly at the guards in front of him, and without saying a word, he rode his horse and walked slowly around the formation for half a circle.
There was so much murderous aura in him that the guards nearby couldn't help but trembled wherever he went, and they didn't dare to look directly at him.
It turned out that this was Eunuch Chang. Wherever Chang Yu went, the guards were naturally focused on him. Those who had only heard of his name before could not help but marvel at his aura. No wonder he had the courage to clamor to beat the personal guards.
But the guards who had seen Chang Yu were shocked in another way. Compared with the previous little eunuch who was approachable and smiled at everyone in the palace, the man in front of him had a darker complexion, a cold face, and a murderous aura all over his body.
This fierce fighting spirit makes people's pores stand up, and the bloodstains all over his body are even more shocking.
"The national calamity is at the forefront, and everyone is responsible. The thieves have caused harm to the country and the people. The crimes are so overwhelming that they are too numerous to write down. At this time, outside the city, they regard you and the people as meat on the anvil. Do you want to be treated as fish meat?"
Chang Yu shouted loudly.
"Kill the thief, kill the thief!" Lu Xing and others shouted in unison, and the guards immediately responded.
But the lack of prestige shows that his heart is not strong!
This is the purpose of Chang Yu's visit.
With a sneer, Chang Yu raised his voice: "Look at the urinal nature of you guys. The royal guards have become so cowardly before they even come on stage. It's really embarrassing. You can't compare to my gang of eunuch brothers. You guys are in vain."
It’s a man”
Hahahaha, behind Chang Yu, Li Tiezhu, Fan Jiaqian, Chunxiang and other eunuchs laughed.
Lu Xing and others had angry expressions on their faces. After taking a look at each other, they glared at their subordinates.
"As a soldier, it is your duty to die in battle and to be shrouded in horse leather. At this time, the thieves are approaching. If you are still a man, follow me to kill the general. You are a man in life, and you are a ghost in death! No matter you are lying down or
You won’t be looked down upon even if you stand!”
After Chang Yu gave a long drink, Lu Xing and others gritted their teeth and yelled, "Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!" Nearly ten thousand guards stood up and shouted three times in succession. The sound shook for miles and attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers on the city!
"Although you are high-ranking bodyguards and seem to be superior to others, you all know how your life is in fact. How much is your monthly salary, how much is owed, and how much you get, how much do you get? Is it enough to support your family?"
After drinking the chicken blood, Chang Yu began to draw the cake: "The thieves are causing chaos and endangering the people. When the world is in chaos, it is also the time for you to make contributions. Anyone who has merit in killing the enemy needs money and money, and merits and deeds. As long as you have
If you are capable and capable, I, Chang Yu, will protect you and support you, and I will never break my promise!"
"Are you, who are in the prime of life, really willing to spend your whole life doing nothing and wasting your life when it is time to make achievements? Are you really willing to work as watchmen around the imperial city for the rest of your life? Are you really willing to live the rest of your life in poverty?
As long as you dare to fight and kill, you can take whatever glory and wealth you want. If you die, you will get ten times the pension, so you will have no worries in the future!"
Chang Yu's words were almost shouted, and the guards immediately had a great effect.
At this time, any talk about protecting the home and country is just empty talk. The most practical benefits such as glory, wealth, and achievements are the most touching.
Seeing that the soldiers' emotions were aroused, Chang Yu began to fire another, ruthless black bandit army.
"Officials and thieves are incompatible. You are in the army. Killing thieves is your destiny. Don't try to do anything that will shame your ancestors, let alone be deceived by the lies of the thieves. Those who surrender to the thieves will not end well. The thieves do not trust the surrendering troops and will either kill them or kill them."
, or be used as cannon fodder, and more importantly, if you, the mighty bodyguards of the Emperor of Tomorrow, surrender to the traitors, the graves of your eighteen generations of ancestors will explode! Don’t you feel ashamed of your ancestors if you surrender without a fight?"
Chang Yu sneered and continued: "There are two more things I want to tell you. First, being a surrendered soldier is not as easy as you imagine. In addition to being tortured and killed, you can't even have enough to eat. Do you know why?
Because the thief is poorer, and he only relies on plundering the grain during the years of fighting and escaping. The thief and grandson who supply him are all stretched, and there is no extra for the surrendered soldiers! As for the salary, I don’t even think about it, so I either kill him or serve as cannon fodder, and then kill him after using it.
Lose!
Second, the thief is really vulnerable!"
Chang Yu sneered at first and then said: "In the past half month, our family has fought with him several times, and we have won every time. We have killed the leader of the thieves, Li Laiheng, and the traitor Zhang Linran! Capture the leader of the thieves, Ma Chongxi, and Ren Jirong!"
Holding the grass so fiercely, the guards immediately started making noises, and the four commanders were also dumbfounded, with shock on their faces!
"Besides, I am leading these brothers." Chang Yu pointed at Li Tiezhu and others with a proud look on his face: "They can do it, but if you can't, I can only say that you are not even as good as eunuchs, and you are in vain to call yourself a man."
"Kill the thief!"
Dong Haicheng, one of the four commanders, couldn't help but roar. Chang Yu repeatedly ridiculed them that they were not even as good as eunuchs, which indeed made these usually proud emperor's guards feel unprecedented stimulation and humiliation!
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" The roar of thousands of people reached an unprecedented peak, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to disperse in shock.
"Let's see how you fight and make great achievements!"
Chang Yu laughed: "The whole army has rested overnight and will start training tomorrow. We are about to kill the enemy. You need to do your best. Our family will not let your blood and sweat go to waste!"
After a passionate speech, Chang Yu explained to Lu Xing and others, telling them that Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan would come for an injection later, and then Xiong Tong and Chen Shangzhi would come to continue washing pots and dishes, and
He will leave.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, it's a matter of wages..." Although Lu Xing knew he had to stay and fight, he still cared about the original mission.
"Our family has arranged for a manpower escort and will leave the city tonight!"
Looking at the Western Mountain in the distance, the dusk is falling, and the sound of killing in the south of the city is gradually disappearing.
The officers and soldiers mobilized large forces to suppress the rebels' attempts. Although Gu Ying mobilized his troops several times and changed the angle of attack, the disparity in strength made it impossible for him to succeed.
Moreover, the tactics of the officers and soldiers were very tricky, that is, they would not leave the trench formation, but would shoot from a long distance and snipe at close range.
This made Gu Ying very angry. The trench was not suitable for cavalry operations. Even the infantry was in danger at every step. The officers and soldiers were hiding in it and could not come out. For a while, he really had no choice.
After several rounds, the rebels found that every step forward was difficult, and nearly half of the refugees in the pit were shot to death before finally fleeing.
Seeing the large-scale sniper attack by the officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng did not send reinforcements forward. After observing for a while, he ordered his troops to retreat, leaving a large number of corpses in the trench position.
As soon as the rebels retreated, the officers and soldiers came in. While picking up arrow feathers, they executed the injured officers, soldiers or refugees, and then dragged them aside.
It finally got dark!
The flames of the bandit camp in the south of the city stretched for nearly ten miles, making Zhou Yuji and others on the top of the city look solemn. They did not relax at all because of the bandit army's withdrawal just now.
