Chapter 101 The wait is finally here! (Please subscribe)
Luo Yaoguo, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the chief lecturer, and the Taiping Angel, was currently riding on a tall horse, wearing a yellow silk robe and a red hood on his head. After the formation! At this moment, there are two other large formations of ten thousand people in the north and south of Chenzhou City.
In other words, the total number of Taiping troops besieging Chenzhou now exceeds the 40,000 that made Green Camp, Tuanlian, Master Sun, and Master Chen despair in Chenzhou City! In fact, it is not many... Now there are at least 40,000 in the Qing Dynasty Only one ten thousandth of the poor people who don't have enough to eat are living in poverty. How can that be considered too much?
And these 40,000 people are not all affiliated with Luo Yaoguo's upper army and Xiao Chaogui's former army. Counting the female battalion soldiers led by Su Sanniang, Luo Yaoguo's upper army only has 12,000 people, and Xiao Chaogui's former soldiers are even less, only eight Thousands. In other words, only half of the Taiping troops outside Chenzhou City today are regular Taiping troops, and the other half are Taiping militiamen.
The 20,000 Taiping militiamen all came from Daozhou, Xintian, Ningyuan, Jianghua and other three counties in the south of Yongzhou Prefecture. They were all poor men who had just been allocated land.
Although the land they are allocated is not much, if a man does not join the Taiping Army, he can usually only be allocated one to eight acres of paddy fields, or two or three acres of dry land, and even more sloping land. And women, children And older men can get less land.
But the few acres of land allocated to a family, the exemption from loan sharking of 12 or 80 taels, and the floating wealth worth several stones of food can still give people living in extreme poverty some hope... They have always seen hopes that they could only see in their dreams, hopes that only the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave them!
In order to keep these hard-won hopes, they can only join the battle to defend the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with their heads wrapped in red scarves and spears in hand!
If they don't have such awareness... There are amiable "village lecturers", "township lecturers", presidents of farmers' associations at all levels and officials, and they will explain to them the principle of "killing demons and protecting land". , until they suddenly wake up.
Most of these "village lecturers", "township lecturers" and the brains of farmers' associations at all levels were the first to step forward when townships and villages were engaged in "dividing farmland, allocating land and allocating wealth", and led their fellow villagers The poor peasants of this village went to attack the local tyrants and evil gentry hard.
After fighting against the local tyrants and evil gentry, these leaders will be recruited to "lecturer classes" in various towns to participate in a twenty-day short-term training. After the short-term training, there will be an assessment, and those who pass the assessment will receive peace. They have the status of military soldiers and the position of temporary lecturers - this means that they can get five acres of paddy fields, and they can also get a commission from the land taxes handed over by each village and township...
In short, these people not only handed in enough certificates of nomination, but also received many more benefits from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom than ordinary people, so they could only follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to carry out the anti-Qing cause to the end.
After two months of "snowballing" the land distribution, Daozhou, Xintian, Ningyuan, Jianghua, Yongming and other counties in the southern part of Yongzhou Prefecture have basically "passed" it, with a population of hundreds of thousands. They have already fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Heaven. This time they marched eastward to Guiyang Prefecture and the battle of Chenzhou Prefecture was a test of the results of this wave of "dividing the fields and dividing the land."
According to the order of the Southern King Feng Yunshan, 20,000 militiamen must be mobilized from Daozhou, Xintian, Ningyuan, Jianghua and other three counties in one state to march west to Chenzhou Prefecture with the 20,000 Taiping Army led by the Western King Xiao Chaogui and the Taiping Angel Luo Yaoguo. City, and then escort the captured items in Guiyang Prefecture and Chenzhou City back to Daozhou where the Nanwang Mansion is located.
The tasks that the twenty thousand militiamen have to perform are actually not difficult or dangerous. They are just taking advantage of the leisure time before the autumn harvest to go out and harvest some trophies. With or without them, Luo Yaoguo and Xiao Chaogui can win the laurels. Yangzhou and Chenzhou.
But as long as they participated in the battles against Guiyang Prefecture and Chenzhou and got some spoils, they would be "all in possession of the spoils"! They had done the attacking of Zhoucheng and Fucheng, and the good things in Zhoucheng and Fucheng were They took it, and they also divided the things and land belonging to the landlords of the local village. When the Qing demon comes again, do you still dare to believe the monstrous talk of "only arresting the culprits, and never asking for help"?
Even if they are simple and honest, don’t they still have leaders of peasant associations at all levels, township lecturers, and village lecturers? No matter what, they can be firmly united around Nan Wang Feng Yunshan!
And Luo and Xiao are also powerful this time. They can lead 20,000 regular Taiping troops! Among them, 12,000 are the new Taiping troops who "serve from lecturers to soldiers", and there are 8,000 Taiping troops affiliated to the King of the West. Although the Qianjun Army is not that "progressive", its backbone is the old brothers from Guangxi who are extremely capable in combat!
Moreover, people who worship God and go to secret churches have already sneaked into Guiyang and Chenzhou.
However, the Qing army's defense in these two places is extremely weak. The main force of the Qing army is now mainly distributed in three directions: Quanzhou, Lingling and Lianzhou, preventing the Taiping Army from going south to Guangdong and Guangxi or going north along the Xiangjiang River and entering the Yangtze River Basin. As for In Guiyang Prefecture and Chenzhou to the west of Dao Prefecture... Sai Shang'a really couldn't spare any troops, so he could only rely on the local green battalion soldiers and regiment drills to defend them carelessly.
In fact, it is almost equivalent to giving up!
The new Taiping troops that Luo Yaoguo has at hand just take this opportunity to practice and gain confidence in winning, so that everyone knows that Qing Yao is not a big deal, and they will have a psychological advantage when encountering the Qing army in the future. Luo Yaoguo's this At this time, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Chaogui, the Western King who was riding a horse next to him. This Western King was supposed to go to the battlefield in a sedan, but after Luo Yaoguo took out the "Tongtian Mirror", he decided that it would be better to ride a horse. Seeing Luo Yaoguo surrender, Xiao Chaogui immediately drew his sword, pointed it forward, and shouted in a Hakka accent: "Kill the demon and go to heaven..."
The Guangxi veterans of the two armies he had just finished singing "Men Should Strengthen themselves", when their morale was at its highest. Now when they heard Xi Wang's cry, they immediately became excited and shouted the slogan "Kill the demon and go to heaven" crazily. Carrying ladders, holding shields and weapons, they surged towards the west wall of Chenzhou like a tide, as if they were trying to forcefully collapse the high wall blocking them.
In Chenzhou City, in a low and dilapidated old house, the former Daozhou city guard general Zong Bo took a brave breath and pulled out his ancestral waist knife. His eyes were filled with tears!
It’s finally over! He Bo Yong has finally caught up!
The change of dynasties and the revolution of the world may be a great disaster for ordinary people, but for people like Bo Yong who have been in the army of Hunan for generations, it is a great opportunity.
He, no, it should be his family, has been waiting for this day for more than 170 years. His ancestors once participated in an anti-Qing uprising, which was called the "Three Rebellions" by Qing Yao. He had been a moderate official during the chaos, and even though he had to follow him to the top to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to save his life, he was unwilling to do so, and even joined the superior officer and a group of his comrades. Leaving behind the plan for a comeback.
This last move... Yuezhou is located at the junction of the two lakes!
It's a pity that for more than a hundred years, the Qing Dynasty has been an iron-clad country.
So the Bo family could only pass it down orally from generation to generation, preserving this trick as an opportunity for their descendants... until today! He looked back and saw that a huge courtyard was crowded with red cloth turbans. , the Xianghu hero who is eager to try.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be shining with tears.
Every face that had become dark due to the wind and sun had an expression of eager anticipation. They also caught up!
"Okay! The world is in chaos... It's a good time for the good man I've been waiting for to show off his power!" Bo Yong raised his sword and shouted, "Kill the monsters, divide the fields, go to heaven... It's against the rules! It's all against the rules! !」
"Kill the demons, divide the land, go to heaven..." "Rebellion! They are all rebelling!"
