Chapter 16: Still alive

Views:

As a convenient position near the water tower, although it is not responsible for any important chores; but through the circulation and distribution of daily records, Zhou Huaian has gradually figured out some of the circumstances of this "Story Camp" ,

This Stormrage Camp currently has about 1,191 soldiers in the front, of which only 176 are veterans from the North, and three hundred and forty people are supplemented from Zhejiang and Fujian. For those who are in China, the rest are all new recruits recruited and solicited locally;

In addition, there are more than two hundred handymen and porters in charge of fire cooks, livestock, and footmen. Most of them are eliminated strong men, and only forty old people brought from the north.

As the chief official of the Fury Camp, the full name of the purple-faced man who is known as the head of the king is Wang Pan, a local person from Ruzhou, Henan, who is good at making an iron-headed stick and nicknamed "Wang Leizi", and he is known as one hundred thousand under Huang Chao. The captain of the rebel army was the title of captain, but it was actually the fourth head of the Stormrage Camp who was in danger. It has only been a few months since he took over the Stormrage Camp.

Next is the Stormrage Camp General Dinghui as his deputy, but this person is running outside and his whereabouts are unknown;

Although there is only one battalion of men and horses, the so-called sparrows are small and well-equipped, with archers, footmen {swords}, tip {lances}, and even a small group of 30 horsemen composed of veterans. The team, although the equipment is also extremely crude, has no longer anything except the auxiliary saddle and the wooden spear.

Before that, they were originally the local rebels who defected in the battle of Wang Xianzhi's rebels to conquer Ezhou; they were re-armed with the delivered equipment after they captured Ezhou, and they are becoming one;

At first it belonged to Wang Xianzhi's confidant General Shang Jun. At its peak, there were three or four thousand people, and it was known as one of the wings of General Wang. But the good times did not last long, and he was defeated by the Song Wei Department of the feudal town on his way to Chang'an to negotiate and care. Interception, and Wang Xianzhi connected the headquarters of the 50,000 army and died after Huangmei. They were scattered around the remnants of the rebel army under the leadership of Shang Jun’s brother, General Shang Rang, and went north to join the other rebel army’s Huangchao subdivision. Since then, it is time to change the banner and subordinates.

The Stormrage Army, which had been decimating troops and lacking replenishment methods, shrank into the Stormrage Camp, which was short of manpower. It was not until the battle after the break of Dayu Ling, even though it included the former two. A large number of old people, including the new and old chief officials, suffered heavy casualties but never begged the officers and soldiers to surrender. After being defeated, they continued to go south to catch up with the troops of the team;

Later, he took a fragile journey to break down the Lingnan East Road Jiedu to make Li Zhao convene all the officers and soldiers to sell their strength; therefore, they were again valued by the king of Huang, and not only rebuilt the name of the Stormrage Camp, but also possessed In order to give priority to the selection and replenishment of local soldiers.

Since the Huangchao was in Fuzhou when it sank to the south, it began to establish rules and regulations in the army and rectify the army as a rule. Since then, the system of judges has been adopted and the army has been divided into battalions and set up: fire commander, team leader, brigade commander, school lieutenant, The titles of captain, lieutenant, and general, and the second rank of chief and deputy, to replace the original disorganized bosses, chiefs, generals, soldiers and horses, guards, defenses, management, jiedu, etc.;

Therefore, the current top official of the Stormrage Camp is Wang Pan, a native of Ruzhou, Henan, who is the deputy captain Guoyi, who is in charge of the daily situation; and Dinghui, an old man from the Stormrage Camp, who is born in Ezhou, is more Don't use the status as his deputy to assist him.

This Dinghui was also the only survivor who led the remnants to join the Huangchao base after the death of several fathers and brothers who followed the leaders of the previous two generations. Therefore, it was allocated to a group of veterans to rebuild the almost destroyed Stormrage Camp. Therefore, it is said that he usually seems to be a bitter and enmity who is not good to anyone, but when he talks about Huang Wang, he can't help showing his sincere gratitude and yearning; because goodness makes his family pass on his skills. He was recruited by Huang Chao to listen to Huang Chao's thorn head gun while retaining his own title.

Therefore, under a lot of rudimentary and simple creations, as the second person in essence, Deng Cun, another person known as Deng Lushuai, is also the veteran and leader of the rebel army, and all the steps of the Stormrage Camp. The officer of the pawn; therefore, the call and prestige in the Stormrage Camp is second only to Ding Hui. He is a cold-faced man with few daily conversations but a bit stern. What I usually use is a wide-head folding iron knife.

On the contrary, as Zhou Huaian's temporary guarantor and sponsor, the young and mature Chai Xiaowei has a certain background;

His qualifications are even much older than the predecessor of Stormrage Camp. He started to follow Wang Xianzhi Fanyan when he was a teenager. After he rose up in Henan, he was assigned to Huang Chao to run and fight because of his identity and origins in the township party. An old man in the headquarters of the Chinese army; therefore, although he only had the title of school lieutenant, he wanted to make many of the middle and lower ranks of the rebel generals, including the head Duwei Wang Pan of Stormrage Camp, a special presence of comity and politeness.

As for the rest of the people, it is unavoidable that they are a little lackluster or lack sufficient sources of information. This is also due to the fact that his current identity can be contacted and understood, and there is too little time to make corresponding inquiries and judgments. .

In the next few days, Zhou Huaian discovered that he had become the only real civilian in the rebuilt Stormrage Camp.

Before that, during the Stormrage Camp, the predecessor of the Stormrage Camp, it had had a handful of so-called clerk, bookkeeping, and history books, but when the army went south, it was basically dead, fleeing, and dispersing. Disperse; almost all of those who were able to follow the rest of the Stormrage Camp to reach near Guangzhou were mostly martial artists who didn't know a lot of characters.

And just a few days ago, the book office that sent a few helpers to rebuild the Stormrage Camp was called back because it was busy with more important tasks; so in fact, this Stormrage Camp, which lacks everything, is basically all Wei Wangpan and Biejiang Dinghui were trying their best to manage and deal with them.

There is no way in this cruel and backward world, there are many people who are hungry and desperate, but the number of people who can read literary characters is too limited.

And according to the private complaints between Wang Pan and others, after taking down Guangzhou this time, we had to recruit a group of scribes for use; just because of various reasons, there are very few candidates who are willing to dedicate themselves to the application, and a few are willing to take refuge. It was almost completely divided among the more close and important members of the Rebel army.

So after they had been asking for it several times, they were able to get Zhou Huaian, a "forced monk who was forced to return to the vulgar," from the familiar Chai Xiaowei, as a temporary manpower. Then I finally freed myself from all kinds of mess and chores.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Zhou Huaian, as a thriving player, is relatively safe and needs to be used by others.

On the other hand, thanks to the extensive and neglect of logistics support and maintenance by most peasant rebels in this era, as well as the waste and fallacies caused by various management chaos in daily operations; Zhou Huaian easily found a few The entry point, and the resulting obvious efficiency will gradually be reflected in some nodes that are difficult to ignore in daily life;

Although most of them are vulgar people who don't know a few big characters, no one will refuse the result of gradually becoming easier and more worry-free, and even take the initiative to see it happen. In this case, he can easily get the results and trends he wants indirectly through detailed adjustments and the exchange of interests.

He also won the first follower and helper, a thin, half-old boy Xiaoqi, who is considered to be the son of the Henan Xiangdang party of Deng Cun, the brigade commander. He claims to be fifteen years old but seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old; he is specially responsible. Routinely running errands, moving things, and cleaning up and other chores, so that Zhou Huaian has more time and space to sort out and distinguish the documents and records accumulated over time.

Outside of Lingwai, according to the news he heard from Stormrage Camp afterwards, Zhou Huaian discovered that he was in a certain sense of unwarranted disaster when he was in the city of Guangzhou.

The initial order from the soaring general was indeed to "kill Hu'er only and not hurt the Han family", but this obviously too general and vague instruction would inevitably be understood and used by all the rebels who entered the city for purging.

As a result, it has become a variety of private standards, from the initial "killing of people who do not look like Chinese" to "killing of people who do not like middle-earth clothes", to "killing those with suspicious words and deeds", and "killing people with unsuspecting words and deeds." Floating standards such as "killing those who intend to resist" have directly turned Guangzhou City into a bloody slaughterhouse and Shura area.

This is the dark side and historical limitations of the so-called peasant rebels.

Therefore, after accumulating several days of deliberation and consideration, the first suggestion he formally requested to meet Du Wei Wang Pan was to continue to supplement the opportunity to collect troops and materials, and collect as much as possible those who know how to craft or It is a manpower with a certain skill, who has established the original logistics system and auxiliary personnel team.

From this point of view, he has no decent competitors and potential resistance from damage to vested interests for the time being, but he is able to expand the resources and influence he has in his hands in a disguised form.

"Monk, do you want to recruit more people?"

Khan Jinjin, who was practicing with the pro-squad team, asked the head Wang Pan, who was opening his chest and fanning the wind.

"What does this mean..."

"Exactly, because the camp lacks all kinds of craftsmen..."

Zhou Huaian said respectfully.

"The progress of some repairs and repairs has been delayed..."

"So I would like to ask permission to send someone to the relief field on the outskirts of the city, and then recruit some suitable personnel..."

"Oh, I will let Big Bite take care of this."

The other party paused and said disapprovingly.

"You should go together too, just to distinguish one or two..."

"By the way, Xiao Chai has something to pass it over, saying that I will borrow you to spend the next two days..."

"Maybe there are other benefits for you..."

"But I'll be fine..."

Zhou Huaian replied without changing his face.

. . . . . .

"How are you observing these days..."

After he walked far in Huai'an, Wang Pan put down the expression of unsatisfactory expression just now.

"There is no flaw yet..."

An unremarkable person beside him whispered.

"It's actually mixed up with Hooying Lao Feng and his group a lot..."

"Then keep staring..."

"There is nothing suspicious for the time being, I might as well give him more use..."

"It's so easy to get such a useful monk..."

"Anyone who is idle is also idle, except for the really important things..."

"Others can take him for school examinations and test one or two..."

"If there is something wrong, there is also a chance to leak the deeds?"

"If there is really no problem, we must be kind and win over..."

"The dog breeders who always like to chew on the side of Huang Wang of the province said that we can't keep people in the camp..."

"Furthermore, this is also what Xiao Chai thought... Don't let others abduct it..." (End of this chapter)
