After Huang Guangmao spoke, everyone immediately turned their attention to him.

This made Huang Guangmao, who was participating in the military meeting for the first time, feel a bit like Alexander, and felt vaguely regretful about standing up and speaking out.

But he also knew that since he had started, he couldn't escape, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in the Baoxiang camp in the future.

He immediately said loudly: "A month ago, I led my army to a disastrous defeat in Songshan, but Wang Jida managed to escape and put the blame on my head."

When he said this, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if he hadn't led the troops to attack Funiu Mountain...

Just listen to him continue: "According to my understanding of the government, there will definitely be follow-up actions after the government and army suffered such a disastrous defeat in Funiu Mountain. In any case, they cannot just sit back and watch us develop and grow in Funiu Mountain."

When he said this, Huang Guangmao already regarded himself as a member of the Baoxiangying camp, and he already used the word "we" in his words.

"The reason why the officers and soldiers didn't come before was because the bandits came eastward and put huge pressure on the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains area, so the officers and soldiers couldn't take care of us."

"But, I think you all know what is going on with those bandits. They seem to have a large number of people, but they are just a group of bandits after all. The attack on the city seems to be huge, but it cannot last. If they don't want the officers and soldiers to be multifaceted, If you encircle and exterminate, you will continue to flee and fight. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be dead."

"So, those bandits will definitely not stay in the Yellow River area for too long. No matter whether they return to Shaanxi or continue to move eastward, it means that they will not stay in the Central Plains area for too long, waiting for these bandits to leave. , most of the main force of the official army will naturally follow them to continue the pursuit, and there is a high probability that some local Ming army troops will stay to encircle and suppress the remaining bandits."

"When the time comes, our Baoxiang camp will inevitably be attacked by officers and soldiers again."

"With the failure of the previous Battle of Songshan, the officers and soldiers will definitely be more vigilant. Based on my understanding of the officers and soldiers, they will definitely mobilize a large army to swoop in. They will not send only a few hundred soldiers like before. ."

"When that time comes, our Funiu Mountain will be in danger, and our Baoxiang camp will be in danger!"

After Huang Guangmao talked for a long time, he stopped to look at everyone's reactions. He was relieved to see everyone thinking deeply.

My words should have attracted their attention, which will be beneficial to my subsequent development in Baoxiang Camp.

Maybe General Luo Zhi will learn to take himself more seriously and remove the word "acting" as "acting deputy director of the staff department" from his head as soon as possible.

That's right, Huang Guangmao is no longer the senior staff officer of the General Staff Office in name only, but the deputy director of the General Staff Office with real power, um, acting temporarily.

And all this changed three days ago!

Luo Zhixue summoned him only three days ago, and after talking with him for about two-quarters of an hour, Huang Guangmao got his new appointment.

Acting Deputy Director of the Staff Office!

Instead of being a senior staff officer in name only as before, he can only see and do everything, and he can't even say too much.

There is naturally a reason why Huang Guangmao was changed from senior staff officer to acting deputy director of the staff department.

When Luo Zhixue summoned him three days ago, he showed him the latest official newspaper, a copied notice, and several letters of outside intelligence sent back by caravan spies.

These reports and intelligence are all talking about one thing, and that is the failure of the previous army's attack on Funiu Mountain.

According to the report, Huang Guangmao led his army to Funiu Mountain to suppress the bandits a month ago. Due to his arrogance and reckless advance, the entire army was wiped out. Lushan County Magistrate Wang Jida led the county brave to fight hard for several days to rescue and fight against the bandit army.

In the end, Wang Jida went through many hard battles and successfully blocked the Funiu Mountain bandits' eastward movement, killing hundreds of thieves, and successfully defended tens of thousands of Lushan villagers...

This is nothing. The important thing is that the Di newspaper said that Wang Jida was promoted to the post of Tongzhi of Ruzhou due to his meritorious service in suppressing bandits.

After reading the bulletin and seeing the news of Wang Jida's promotion in the Dibao, Huang Guangmao almost lost his temper and vomited blood and died on the spot...

In the Battle of Songshan, the reason why Huang Guangmao's entire army was wiped out was not because that bastard Wang Jida repeatedly forced him to attack and die.

Otherwise, according to Huang Guangmao's plan, after the first forceful attack failed, he would camp honestly and continuously send small-scale troops to attack in a detour, fighting a small-scale war of attrition with the rebels, while waiting for reinforcements from the rear.

I dare not say that it is foolproof, but it will definitely not lead to the annihilation of the entire army. At most, it will be unable to attack for a long time.

And when reinforcements arrive, how long can a mere few hundred rebels in Songshan resist?

However, Wang Jida was obsessed with getting the heads of the bandits and wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, so he forced him to launch a second attack, which ultimately led to a complete defeat.

After the defeat, Huang Guangmao became the one who took the blame for the defeat, and that bastard Wang Jida actually got promoted because of it.

Huang Guangmao's blood pressure soared to the point where he was about to vomit three liters of blood on the spot...

In response to this, Huang Guangmao exploded on the spot and said: "It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to take revenge."

In great anger and disappointment, Huang Guangmao gritted his teeth and declared his allegiance to Luo Zhi Xuexing on the spot.

He swore allegiance to Luo Zhixue, and wanted to be a promising and glorious rebel, bring down the government, and cut Wang Jida into pieces...

Finally, Wang Jida also made a condition to Luo Zhixue that was not a condition: if one day the Baoxiang Battalion invades Ruzhou, they must capture Wang Jida alive as much as possible, and finally hand Wang Jida over to Huang Guangmao for disposal.

Huang Guangmao wants to cut Wang Jida into pieces with his own hands, otherwise he will not be able to let go of the hatred in his heart!

Luo Zhixue is also deeply satisfied with Huang Guangmao's surrender. In the past month, he has been paying attention to Huang Guangmao and Fei Bingqing and other demoted generals. Luo Zhixue is quite looking forward to these people, otherwise he would not bother

I want them to truly surrender.

These people are mid-level generals in the Ming army. When it comes to training the army, not to mention actual operations, their abilities on paper are still much better than those of low-level officers like Wang Xiazi who came from big-headed soldiers.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Luo Zhixue does not need them to actually lead troops or train, he only needs to put forward some effective suggestions.

No matter how bad it is, these people were once mid-level generals in the Ming Army. They have a better understanding of the Ming Army's internal system and combat methods, and can also learn about the details of the Ming Army through them.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Therefore, Luo Zhixue still hopes to truly regain these demoted generals, not just to cope with the situation because of the situation, but to make good suggestions sincerely.

When Luo Zhixue learned about Wang Jida's series of operations after his escape, he realized that an opportunity had come.

He sent people to collect detailed information, and the information did not disappoint his expectations and became the last straw for Huang Guangmao and others.

Military generals like Huang Guangmao fought to help Tan Zhengling, and civil servants like Wang Jida suppressed the thieves. In the process of suppressing the thieves, they were humble and allowed to be scolded and beaten... The result was good. Civil servants like Wang Jida not only did not remember his merits, but even

After hard work, he even beat him up and said that Huang Guangmao was stupid and led to the disastrous defeat by advancing lightly.

This is tantamount to throwing the blame for the failure of the Funiu Mountain campaign on their heads.

Forget about taking the blame, it's a routine operation. It's not like Huang Guangmao has never seen it before, but while he was taking the blame, that bastard Wang Jida actually got promoted because of it, which made him extremely unhappy.

Huang Guangmao is also a man with a temper. He grits his teeth and plans to become a rebel incognito.

Anyway, the imperial court doesn’t know whether he is alive or dead, so he can remain anonymous and become a traitor without affecting his family.

After a defeat, a few days as a prisoner of war, more than a month as a senior staff officer, and at the same time witnessing the operations of Wang Jida and others, Huang Guangmao finally understood.

He would never be able to survive in the imperial court. Even if he escaped from the Baoxiang Camp by luck, he would never be able to return to the imperial court and survive.

He can guarantee that once he is exposed after escaping Funiu Mountain, he will be arrested by the government soon and he will be charged with a lot of charges. When the time comes, he will be beheaded.

Because Wang Jida and many people behind him will definitely not let himself live!

Under such circumstances, there was only one way before him, either to live incognito or to join the Baoxiang camp and become a rebel to see if he could make another career.

He doesn't mean that he has to stay with Luo Zhixue and the others. If Luo Zhixue is defeated and dies in the future, he will have to find another way to make a living.

But before Luo Zhixue was defeated, he planned to follow Luo Zhixue and have a good time.

And after more than a month of observation, he didn't think Baoxiang Camp was vulnerable.

According to his observation, although the Baoxiang camp has a small number of troops, it is now fully equipped. Counting the recruits in the new camp who are undergoing basic recruit training, the number is only a thousand.

But he could see that this rural protection camp was different from ordinary rebels, and its future was much better than ordinary bandits.

Ordinary rebels would not be able to engage in such formal organization and tactics, and even make their own artillery and guns, but the Baoxiang camp did this, and it was very smooth. Although the Baoxiang camp only had a thousand people, it could fight

There are only seven or eight hundred people, but if they are brought out to fight, their combat effectiveness will be stronger than those tens of thousands of bandits.

Because these seven or eight hundred people are all soldiers. Except for farming during the busy farming season, they do nothing all day long. They train every day and eat well.

There are also hundreds of elite cavalry and a large artillery team.

If he had brought seven to eight hundred soldiers like this, he would have dared to directly pursue and fight against tens of thousands of bandits.

When officers and soldiers faced such a Baoxiang camp, if they wanted to win, they would have to pull out at least a thousand soldiers. If they wanted to win reliably, they would have to pull out two thousand soldiers, and they would have to have artillery, and cavalry could not.

Few, at least two to three hundred elite riders.

Baoxiangying not only has such combat power, but also operates differently from ordinary thieves, which Huang Guangmao attaches even more importance to.

Even what Baoxiangying did in the Funiu Mountain area was the reason why Huang Guangmao finally chose to completely defect to Luo Zhixue!

Ordinary bandits will not occupy a territory and then collect taxes and recruit troops like the Baoxiang camp.

What other rogue thieves do is to conquer one place, rob it of their possessions, and then carry the refugees who have lost their homes with them to kill them in the next place. This is basically the case for Gao Yingxiang's group, Zhang Xianzhong's group, and Li Zicheng's group.

Such thieves may seem powerful, but in fact they are rootless duckweeds. Once they encounter setbacks, they will collapse in minutes.

In Huang Guangmao's opinion, such a different Baoxiang camp has more prospects than those bandits.

As for how far the Baoxiang Camp will go in the future, he doesn't know. After all, rebellion has been difficult since ancient times. Many amazing talents have fallen on the way to rebellion. Can Luo Zhixue succeed?

The chance is too slim!

However, he didn't know how Baoxiang Camp would end up like this, and how Luo Zhixue would end up like this, but he was certain of one thing: the Zhu Ming Dynasty would definitely come to an end.

Nowadays, refugees are everywhere in the world, and wars are everywhere. The imperial court suppresses thieves every year, but the number of rebel thieves is suppressed more and more. There are still predators from the outside looking at it, and they will detour into the pass every three days to plunder.

Such a scene is definitely a sign of the end of the world.

What's more important is that a loyal minister like himself who devoted himself to serving the court ended up being defeated and took the blame, while Wang Jida, who forced himself to defeat, got promoted and made a fortune.

There will be no reward for meritorious service and no punishment for guilty, so what is the natural principle of Zhu Ming’s immortality!

The only question now is, after the troubled times, who can unify China and rebuild the Jiuding?
