105 [Actual combat training] (for the starting point of the leader, the head coach of the eight million eagle knights
Zuo Xiaoliang's coming to defect to Zhao Han was not a hedging bet.
The Huang family and the Zuo family are both large families in Ji'an.
The Huang family in Huangjia Town and the Zuo family in Huanba Village are just remote branches of a large family.
Zuo Xiaoliang's hometown is in Huanba Village, located on the other side of the river from Wuxing Town. The villagers spontaneously rioted to divide the land. At this time, it had been taken over by Zhao Han. Zuo Xiaoliang was so poor that he only had a few acres of land left, but he escaped the disaster.
As for Zuo Xiaocheng, who defected to the governor, his hometown is in Yongyang Town.
That area belongs to the front line, and the west, north, and south sides have all been occupied by mobs. Because of the prosperous business and fertile land in Yongyang Town, the farmers can survive for the time being, so there are no killings of landlords.
However, the gentry were still afraid and secretly summoned their tribesmen and domestic slaves to train troops, always on guard against the peasants rising up.
Zuo Xiaocheng and Zuo Xiaoliang didn't know each other at first, until they both passed the exam and they knew they were brothers by looking at their names, so their relationship quickly became close.
When riots broke out in Xuanhua Township, the two of them were taking the Nanchang Township Examination.
Both candidates failed the examination, and when they returned to their hometown together, they learned of the situation and made an appointment to go to Wuxing Village to investigate the truth.
After some inquiring, Zuo Xiaocheng was horrified and hurried to Ji'an to see the governor Jie Xuelong.
Zuo Xiaoliang had mixed emotions. He continued to observe Zhao Han's governance and was gradually impressed by it.
His family was already very poor and had not enough to eat during the provincial examination, so Zuo Xiaocheng gave him some meat cakes. At the age of sixteen, he was selected as a scholar, but he failed the provincial examination time and time again, and the imperial court canceled the exemptions, which made Zuo Xiaoliang extremely disappointed.
Zuo Xiaoliang felt that Zhao Han might succeed!
"Poof!"
Fei Ruhe slapped the knife on the table, sat down and said, "Is there going to be a war?"
"I don't know," Zhao Han said with a headache. "The mob in the lower reaches robbed the ships. No merchant ships dared to come over, so the news couldn't be spread. I have already sent a ship to Fucheng. I hope they won't be robbed by the mob, otherwise our spies will
You can’t even come back.”
"We should be fighting," Zuo Xiaoliang suddenly said, "My clan brother has gone to join the governor. He knows what Wuxing Town is like. As long as the governor is not stupid, he will definitely send troops to attack, but he must first fight the mob in the lower reaches.
.”
Fei Ruhe glanced at Zuo Xiaoliang: "Who is this again?"
Zhao Han said: "Zuo Xiaoliang, named Dashan, is a scholar."
"Oh, finally a scholar has defected," Fei Ruhe smiled and asked Zuo Xiaoliang, "Will you lead troops to fight?"
Zuo Xiaoliang shook his head: "No."
Fei Ruhe said unceremoniously: "That's a civil servant, not the same as us."
Zuo Xiaoliang smiled back and didn't argue with this guy.
Zhao Han said to everyone: "Li Jiaguai must be captured. We will send troops immediately tomorrow, and relevant personnel will follow. You all go back and make preparations!"
Lijiaguai is a large village that has even developed into a market town. It is located at a few bays of He River. The land is very flat and fertile. There are mountains to the north and mountains on the other side of the river. It is a must-attack place for the governor to send troops.
Now it is occupied by a group of mobs. After killing the landlords, they become new landlords and form gangs to suppress the tenant farmers.
What's even more disgusting is that these guys are using Zhao Han's name, claiming to obey "Mr. Zhao", but they refuse political workers to station in propaganda.
If Jie Xuelong leads his troops to attack, those fools who occupied Li Jiaguai will most likely join the governor and help the army come to fight Zhao Han.
The next day, troops were sent out.
Eight hundred soldiers marched along the river on foot, and grain and grass were transported in small boats. Zhao Han was too poor to buy a large ship to transport troops, so he had to build some small boats to transport grain.
Zuo Xiaoliang followed Zhao Han and looked at the beggar army behind him, feeling very strange emotions well up in his heart.
Moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, pot lid, kitchen knife, sickle, scissors... Can such a team fight against the officers and soldiers?
But he was very energetic and energetic, hundreds of times better than the officers and soldiers Zuo Xiaoliang had ever seen!
The man named Chen Maosheng, I heard, was an actor in the past. Now he was walking in front of the team, leading everyone to sing a ditty together, and the soldiers laughed happily from time to time.
Isn’t it time to march solemnly and kill?
Zuo Xiaoliang doesn't know how to fight, and he doesn't understand the situation. He still needs to slowly integrate into the group.
Zhao Han's coaching banner is carried by a man named Liu Zhu.
The big flag had no pattern at all, just a piece of indigo blue cotton. This was the color of civilian clothing, because indigo dyeing was cheap and could be worn by traffickers and footmen, so it could be used to represent the common people.
The herald is even more interesting. It is normal to have several command flags on his waist, and it is normal to hang a gong. He actually also carries a suona on his back.
This herald used to be a folk musician who specialized in playing the suona at weddings and funerals.
I heard that when the suona blows, the whole army charges.
Is this a blessing for your own family?
Or do you want to mourn the enemy?
Huang Shunde's feet hurt from walking. He was the military chief and did not dare to stop complaining, so he could only limp forward.
"You've only walked a few miles and your legs are already broken from fatigue?" Zhao Han joked with a smile, then became serious, "Train with the soldiers from now on!"
"Follow the order!" Huang Shunde said quickly.
He was a good-natured boy who was forced to be with a mud-legged boy, which could be regarded as forcing a good boy into prostitution.
However, the transformation has been pretty good, and it no longer conflicts with Zhao Han's policies, but the thought of recruiting peace has not been completely eradicated.
"Brother Dashan," Huang Shunde moved to Zuo Xiaoliang's side, "You are a scholar and you were a junior student before. Why did you come to seek refuge with Mr. Zhao?"
Zuo Xiaoliang asked, "What about you?"
Huang Shunde immediately said: "Of course I admire Mr. Zhao's style, admire Mr. Zhao's moral dignity, and believe that Mr. Zhao can achieve success."
Zuo Xiaoliang said: "Me too."
"Uh..." Huang Shunde couldn't answer it, the conversation was already dead.
Finally arriving at the boundary of Lijiaguai land, the herald took out his trumpet and played a ditty to attract the attention of the people in the village.
More villagers were waiting to arrive, and Chen Maosheng immediately stepped forward, leading his men and women, shouting the slogan of the Datong Society, which meant that everyone had fields to farm, food to eat, and clothing to wear.
"Mr. Zhao is here, we are saved!"
Countless villagers were delighted and took the initiative to follow the team, and some came to show Zhao Han the way.
Zuo Xiaoliang saw all this, and four words came to his mind: Welcome Master Wang!
The mob that occupied Li's home was frightened by the 800-strong army. Most of them hid in the landlord's mansion, while a few clever ones fled directly into the mountains.
Zhao Han divided the eight hundred soldiers into four groups and surrounded the mansion.
Just as they were thinking about how to attack, the people in the village suddenly brought a ladder and took the initiative to help them set it up against the wall.
Therefore, the wolf shield soldiers held bamboo branches with branches to interfere with the sight and movements of the enemies inside the wall. The rattan soldiers held a pot lid in one hand and a sickle or kitchen knife in the other, quickly climbed the ladder over the wall, and sat on the wall to cover the spearmen.
Come up.
Zhang Tieniu didn't care about that. He climbed to the top of the wall in twos and twos, jumped down with an ax in hand.
Fei Ruhe didn't see anyone stronger than him, so he jumped down with his knife.
These two killers were outnumbered and actually drove the enemy into running around the yard. Our army's morale suddenly became high, and they jumped into the yard one after another regardless of the battle plan.
In one stick of incense, the battle was over.
Zhang Tieniu came over with his head in hand and looked at Zhao Han with a smile, as if he was waiting to be praised.
Zhao Han glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Your military pay for this month is gone. A major demerit will be recorded!"
During the march and fighting, you can get military pay.
Zhang Tieniu was confused and said aggrievedly: "We won the battle."
"Military judge, tell him!" Zhao Han was too lazy to talk nonsense with this idiot.
Li Xiangui, who was born as a school boy, immediately ran over and said: "Captain Zhang Tieniu, you made two mistakes this time!"
Zhang Tieniu scratched his head in worry and said confusedly: "I made a mistake, two more?"
Jiang Liang recounted one by one: "First, this battle is mainly about military training, training the soldiers' actual combat cooperation. This is a military order issued before departure. You have destroyed the actual combat training! Second, military regulations have ordered that beheading is not allowed.
Gong, you are holding a human head in your hand!"
Zhang Tieniu was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Zhao Han looked at the wounds on his arms and ribs, and said with contempt again: "You were actually injured against a group of village bullies and thugs, and you suffered two injuries. You are so powerful and brave!"
Zhang Tieniu explained: "They are all minor injuries."
Fei Ruhe suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "I have a full beard and feet, and I don't have any injuries."
"You remember big mistakes too!"
Zhao Han was very angry and swore directly: "You are the captain of a fucking team, commanding my pacesetters, but you actually abandoned your own soldiers and jumped into the courtyard alone to chop. No one could see you until the end.
Now, your soldiers can’t even find the commander! If you go to the battlefield, you will leave your soldiers like this? Just like you, don’t do anything big, just go back to your hometown and become a bandit!"
Fei Ruhe hesitated to speak. After all, he felt wrong and sighed: "It was my fault. I got so excited that I forgot about the soldiers under my command."
What a mob, Zhao Han was worried.
Despite the fact that my usual training is quite satisfactory, I haven't encountered any officers and soldiers yet. I just fought a group of village bullies, and each of them showed their true colors!
Zhao Han stopped caring about these two people and said to Zuo Xiaoliang: "You follow Chen Maosheng, Fei Chun, Huang Fei, and Huang Fei to learn how to do things. First open a warehouse and put grain in it, attract villagers to register, and those who don't register will receive it."
If you don’t have enough food, you’ll have to create household registers, and then clear out the fields and allocate the land according to your household registration. Pay attention to the people who are cheating and cheating when allocating the fields. Once the land is divided, play "The White-Haired Girl" again, publicly try these bullies, hold a grievance meeting, and preach our rights.
Datong Thought.”
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely learn how to do things." Zuo Xiaoliang was very humble. Although he knew this routine, he still didn't show any impatience.
Zhao Han added: "When the government affairs of the Li family are finished, I will personally be the introducer to invite you to join the Datong Association."
Zuo Xiaoliang clasped his fists and said, "I will do my best!"
At this time, the spies who were sent to Fucheng rowed back halfway and ran frantically to report: "Sir, the officers and soldiers are coming, with a total of 60,000 troops. The leaders of many villages and towns ahead have asked you to take charge of the overall situation.
He said that we would join forces to deal with the government’s purge.”
"The 60,000-strong army," Zhao Han couldn't help but complain, "The governor, prefect, and county magistrate all sold their butts, and they couldn't even get enough food for the 60,000-strong army!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Everyone laughed happily. They were still nervous at first, but they were amused by Zhao Han's words.
