Almost closely following the trail of Zheng Qi and his party, there was also an army and horse led by the supervising army envoy Yang Fuguang, and then drove into Tongguan, but went towards Xijing without stopping.
Although Tian Lingzi was given the title of envoy of the eight towns inside and outside of the Shence Army and the command system of all soldiers and horses. But after he entered Shu as the emperor, he was actually responsible for the corresponding ministry as deputy envoy Yang Fugong.
And his greatest proof is that his brother recruits Yang Fuguang, the superintendent of the battalion, and the approximately 7,000 soldiers and horses brought by the Zhongwu Eighth Capital.
It's just that the original army of 17,000 loyal troops, and after a series of changes and internal frictions such as Xue Neng and Zhou Wei, as well as being assigned to other places one after another, there are only these "willing to enter the escort".
The process of persuading them to give up their garrisoned state city and come over to escort is actually very simple; Yang Fuguang just spread a rumor that Huang Chao, a thief army marching westward, declared that “everyone in the world can be forgiven; only the head of the Huang (Zhongwu Army) ) Unforgivable."
(As one of the few strong towns in the North that are both loyal to the court and capable of fighting well, because of the achievements and contributions of conquering Huaixi and suppressing Heshuo in the past, the soldiers of the loyal army were granted the yellow cap and yellow cap by the emperor of the previous generation. Crotch, with the special glory of the soldiers and horses of the various towns)
After all, it was the Henan town army headed by the Zhongwu Army who chased Wang Huang’s thief army back then; and the one who was ordered to slaughter and liquidate the hometown of Huang Chao’s hometown, burned the local grass to white ground. The loyal army who brought in the thief was transferred nearby.
Therefore, in the mind of fighting the thieves to the death, the military and civilian generals of the two states of Chen Xu and Xu belonged to the Zhongwu Army (Jedushi) Town are also the most resolute and defending the land at all costs.
Just before the grass thief army is about to arrive, they have gathered the population and stocked up more soldiers, food and grass; and they have fully mobilized to capture and kill any foreigners and refugees who may become spies and internal opponents of the thief army. They were all killed, and what they did was a long-term confrontation and a plan to defend.
It’s just the arrival of the only active king’s army horse that made the situation in Chang’an more complicated and treacherous. Soon all kinds of rumors sprung up from the streets and alleys; mainly around the “two sheep in the inner city”. "Intentionally, the topic of the matter of succession between the inside and the outside.
So, the ambassador soon came to greet and reward them with an edict; then when Yang Fuguang entered the city to meet, he was intercepted in a disguised form at the Shuixi Pavilion of Bashang (now Bailuyuan, Shaanxi), and set up camp. Stopped.
. . . . . . . . .
Compared with the Huangchao army's triumphant advance in the Central Plains, and the Taiping army returning with Zhou Huai'an, it brought continuous blood and rain to Jiangxi and Hunan; almost every day, hundreds of people waited for it. During the trial, hundreds of people's heads fell to the top of the city one after another, or flailed, and stood trapped under the signs on the side of the road.
At the foot of the Hengshan Mountain at the junction of Yuanzhou and Hengzhou, a group of people also walked towards the middle of the mountain in panic.
"These dogs who are pissed off for thieves. Are those green dogs chasing them..."
Old lady Fan Fan Jinzhong was also cursing loudly with a cane.
As the patriarch and acting as Lizheng, isn’t it because his subordinates didn’t pay attention to killing some poor guys when urging rent, and took advantage of the bad world to take over some people’s land; it made a few people who owe debts unrepayable. After the Liang, I reluctantly accepted their wives and daughters' plea to come and become slaves; although they have worked a little harder, this will give them a way to survive.
The ordinary things that these guys have been doing for generations, how come these god-killing thieves have come, it has become intolerable and heinous things; and those who want to shout and kill will be handed over to a "public trial". People have gone to humiliate and condemn it.
You know, he was also a member of the local elders who "welcome" the rebels. These thieves are jackals. Not only do they ignore this old feeling and treat them kindly, but they also have to find ways to break their homes to be reconciled. what.
What’s even more hateful is that not only those foolish husbands and women followed up and the Fan’s clansmen were also disturbed; it was because the thieves agreed to "just punish the head of the evil" and "eliminate the master's family, they can separate their families." Live it."
Don’t these ungrateful guys know that only the more prosperous host family they lead is their biggest backer and barrier; just because of a little injustice and a little grievance on weekdays, they will secretly tell the truth about the host’s family. Isn't it a thing
Didn't they get any benefit when they took the group of people to eat those extinct households? The widow mother and daughter who jumped into the river, he did not monopolize it by himself, but was used by everyone.
Then, he hated his stupid son again. They all say that it is to let the people underneath be more restrained and be kind to others. They also lay down their old face and go to the village to make various promises and show goodwill. Not only do they avoid those poor people who have not paid back the debts over the years, they also promised to reduce their rent by 70%. Turn into half.
But he couldn’t stand the stupid son who was accustomed to arrogance in the village. He still took people to the Fan Laoshi’s house, who didn’t dare to put a fart; and then he slept with the wife he didn’t dare to resist. Killed.
Now he has no choice but to send people to the county to inquire about news and activities, while giving away money and other benefits to win over and restrain the tribe, so as to suppress those mud legs that dare to chew their tongues. .
But the people who were sent to the event have not been able to come back, and the few merchandisers who came down from the village also made him feel that things were a little bit awkward. When he wanted to send someone to catch all these young faces, he was almost lost when they saw the chance. The cargo ran away.
Then there was a team of thieves in the county who killed them fiercely; before he thought of pretending to be very cooperative and cooperating with these thieves, he was surprised that someone had come forward to give them. The thief army led the way and identified it.
When his minions and helpers who could be used in private were all caught out of the house one by one; everyone knew that Mrs. Fan's house was going to be out of luck this time.
Even he secretly sent a few of his tribe’s children to participate in the incidents aimed at the big eaters in the village, and they were reported; therefore, he could only leave his family and relatives and ran away overnight;
At least in the Hengshan mountain that stretches for dozens of miles, there are several clusters of half-bandit and half-people settlements; most of them are related to and communicate with him, Mr. Fan; they can barely be used as shelter and shelter for a while.
After he really survived the raging turmoil of the grass thief, he will return to the clansmen and villagers who do not know good and bad, and settle the old accounts with the benefits.
When he thought so bitterly with the support of his cronies, he saw a wall hidden in the mountain and the flag was faint, and he let out a sigh of relief.
However, just on the wall of the village, looking at this hurried figure, Zheng Pan Ada from the Shan Brigade from the Guiyang Supervising Coal Mine was also sneered at his younger brother Pan Er Xiaodao:
"No, there is another wave of surrenders. It's the fifth wave... These people who are uneasy and stubborn with the place are really good at catching them..."
. . . . . .
Zhou Huaian walked more slowly on the way back to Jiangling than before when he returned from Hongzhou. Because the returned army came along this way, they actually quelled 29 large and small riots and rebellions one after another. Although most of them are the remnants of the weather, it would be a bad idea to confuse and coerce the villagers, mountain people, and natives to counterattack;
However, there were also some instigations related to nearby officials or the result of sending people to fan the flames; there were even four occasions when outlying rebels were temporarily incorporated, colluding with the stationed area to fight against the water, or were dissatisfied with the current system, and wanted It was caused by going to the government.
Therefore, even if Zhou Huai'an's own team returned, these new troops will not have much to do with the local area after expansion. I am afraid that they will continue to stay in the inland areas along the river basin for a period of time; in order to complete the subsequent suppression, tracing, screening, interrogation, and execution of auxiliary work.
Therefore, at this moment, the carrying Taiping Army ship is also docking at the mouth of the Yuanshui River on the south bank of Dongting Lake. Standing on the deck, Zhou Huai'an has just commanded a winning rescue battle on the ship.
There are about thousands of native barbarians who came from Langzhou to besiege Longyang County. Under the combined attack of Taiping forces from both land and water, they declared their destruction here.
Of course, after a trip to Jiangdong and Huainan, after collecting hundreds of new recipes and ingredients, Zhou Huaian accumulated the corresponding energy auxiliary system in his body, and finally unlocked a new expansion function.
That is, the original circular passive scanning range can be converged to a relatively narrow fan surface; in this way, the corresponding detection range can be greatly extended. Of course, the further the extension, the narrower the range of the sector, and the higher the continuous energy consumption, the shorter the time.
Nevertheless, this active scanning range setting function is still very useful for the on-the-spot command of the army in combat. For example, the original function of standing up and defensive can be extended to those in the offensive sequence, which is tantamount to adding a real-time control of the battle situation and a less delay response method.
This also allowed him to occasionally try the fun of micro-manipulation of personally commanding soldiers during the eradication operations that were flatly pushed past; of course, this kind of thing is just a taste of it, and it can't form a routine and dependence.
After all, after reaching a certain level in history, people who still like micromanagement can easily interfere with the frontline commander’s judgment and personal expertise. Under conflicts and conflicts, they often deviate from the actual situation and changes in the situation, and eventually become one. A terrible disaster.
In the past three hundred years, the emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty marched against Korea but returned without success and lost the world’s armed parade as a lesson; later there were three generations of blind commanders of Emperor Xuanzong, Suzong, and ancestors and grandchildren of the Tang Dynasty. Repeatedly ruined the good situation and situation, and let the rebels of the Anshi Rebellion come back to life from desperate situations, and eventually evolved into the trouble of the feudal town that has been left to this day.
However, these annihilated and captured Langzhou native troops also confirmed a news.
It was among the three states of Xiangxi that were originally adjacent to the Taiping Army, whether it was Zhou Yue from Shaozhou (now Shaoyang, Hunan), Leiman from Langzhou (Changde, Hunan), and the leader of the Shimen Barbarian from Lizhou (now Lixian, Hunan). Help, everything changed.
They successively accepted the invitation and appointment letter of Song Hao, the so-called Jiedu from Jingnan; and then they all donated their former suspects and joined forces to carry out continuous invasion and plundering of the Taiping army's territory; they thought that Jiedu from Shannan made Liu Jurong in Jingxiang. Echoes of the ground offensive.
In addition, in various states on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there was a former monk who fell into the grass at Huomen Mountain (now Fuzi Mountain in Tianmen, Hubei). He attacked Guizhou and claimed to be a governor. There was also Pan Zhang from Xiazhou who claimed to be a governor and defeated several times. The other rebels stationed there, and occupied several cities.
Therefore, within a short period of time, the situation Zhou Huai'an had to face became complicated again. (End of this chapter)
