Chapter 32: Extinguishing Hu


Iron striking still needs its own hardness, whether it can beat the Qing army in Deqing, Zhou Shixiang actually has no score in his heart, but he can't show the slightest hesitation and lack of confidence, but instead speaks proudly, in order to strengthen Song Xianggong's determination and not make it shaken a little.

As for whether the wording of his words is consistent with Xiucai's identity, Zhou Shixiang doesn't know at all, and even if he knows, he can't hide it much.

Ge Wu and others were patrolling the city with Qingzhuang, and Zhao Sihai led people to search for the captured fish of the Qing army, Zhou Shixiang couldn't gather them for a while, so he put down the silver matter first, and pulled Song Xianggong to count the captured Qing army weapons.

On the way, Song Xianggong once asked Zhou Shixiang what the table character was, and Zhou Shixiang squeaked, and then remembered that in addition to the name, the ancients usually had an alias that their parents or teachers took for themselves that were related to the meaning of their own names, called table characters.

At the beginning, the ancients had a table word, and now it has evolved to the present, but it is the privilege of most readers, and the ordinary peddlers and pawns and poor people do not have the privilege of taking the table word, and they only have a nickname, such as "Iron Pillar", "Big Cow", "Two Eggs" or something.

The original owner of the body is a scholar, naturally there is a table word, after Zhou Shixiang fell in the show, his father asked the Xinhui to give the table word, called "Gongye", and its name Shi is also shining.

However, today's Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to use the word public industry anymore, and after searching in his mind for a while, he said to Song Xiang: "I don't use the word in the past, but now Zhou has a family hatred and national hatred, and from now on, he will use the word to destroy Hu" "Kill Hu" Song Xianggong was stunned, and immediately linked Zhou Shixiang's "extinguishing Hu" with Huo Quai's illness in the Han Dynasty, "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should the family be", admiring and praising at the same time.

Kong Guoliang's department was the green battalion of the Qing army, which belonged to the Manchu coercive army in nature, and most of them were adapted from the original Ming army, so the Qing court did not provide them with weapons and equipment, but only provided military salaries and grain and grass, and sometimes even grain and grass had to be raised by themselves.

None of the more than 400 Jiangxi soldiers under Kong Guoliang are equipped with armor, and Kong Guoliang, the thousand general, is also not, from top to bottom, they are mainly uniforms, and there is a big "soldier" written in the big circle on the front chest and back, which is roughly the same as the Qing soldiers in later film and television dramas, the only difference is that these Jiangxi soldiers do not have long braids to coil around their necks, and they are all palm-length money rat tails.

Zhou Shixiang originally thought that these Jiangxi green battalion soldiers should have some firearms, but the weapons found in the city were all cold weapons such as knives, spears and hook knives, and there were no firearms.

After questioning the captives, it was learned that the Qing court had already forbidden the Green Battalion soldiers to be equipped with firearms, and the entire Qing army was not equipped with firearms except for the former "Sanshun King", that is, the current Pingnan King Shang Kexi, Jingnan King Geng Jimao, and Dingnan King Kong Youde's deceased subordinates.

Since the Song Dynasty, the Han people who are engaged in agriculture are not good at riding and shooting, and the Manchu and Mongolian nomads, riding and archery are their basic means of survival, so out of the consideration of the military superiority and population advantage of the Han people, the Qing court began to prohibit the green battalion from being equipped with firearms in the sixth year of Shunzhi, so as to maintain the military advantage of the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners over the Han green battalion, and forced the green battalion soldiers composed of Han people to fight in the south and north for them, and used them as cannon fodder.

The number of swords, swords, guns, and spears counted was the same as that of the Qing army, and more than 30 shields were also surrendered, but there were no long-range weapons such as bows and arrows.

Seven horses were also paid, except for Kong Guoliang's inferior Mongolian horse, the remaining six were horses used to pull carts, and they could not be used.

There are also more than a dozen donkey carts and mule carts, but a few donkeys were also burned to death last night, which will have been robbed by the people for meat.

After ordering Qingzhuang to send the weapons to the Zhizhou Yamen, Zhou Shixiang accompanied Song Xianggong to inspect the resettlement of the victims.

With the help of a small official from the Yamen of Zhizhou and the original two Li Zheng and several large families in Dongcheng, most of the victims have been resettled.

Those who had relatives in the city went to live with their relatives, and those who did not have relatives lived temporarily in the resettlement sites under the eastern city wall, and dozens of tents had been erected, each of which could accommodate two or three families, and the rest of the people were also placed in some empty houses in the city that were originally uninhabited, which was generally quite appropriate.

In terms of food, Lu Changchang and the others remembered that the victims were all villagers, but they did not deduct and play tricks, and successively raised some grain and grass from large families to send them, but for the time being, they could only supply two meals of gruel a day, barely surviving, and they wanted to eat enough, but it was difficult to eat well.

Even so, this is good, you must know that before the fire, most of the people in this Luoding City lived such a life, and even the New Year may not be able to eat a meal of meat.

Relying solely on large households to help can only be an expedient measure, this Luoding City only has a population of more than 3,000 people, and there can be a few large families who really want to sit on the mountain and eat empty, no matter how many large households can't stand it, if you want these disaster victims to settle down completely, you have to let them have the power to support themselves, otherwise it is a dead knot that cannot be untied.

Ignoring nature is the best way, but Zhou Shixiang can't do this, he still wants to rely on these more than 3,000 people to create a new situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and abandon everyone, who will dare to believe him in the future, and who else will be willing to follow him.

Unable to solve it for the time being, Zhou Shixiang put it on hold first, and when he stayed until the evening, he ordered people to call Ge Wu, Zhao Sihai and other core figures to the Zhizhou Yamen.

"What, take the silver and come out to recruit troops" As soon as they heard that Zhou Shixiang was going to take the silver out to recruit troops, Ge Wu and the others were not happy, and they quarreled with each other, saying a lot of strange things.

"Why did the brothers give this money in exchange for their heads?"

"Recruitment is a good thing, we have no objection, but you can't use our money to recruit soldiers, right?"

"You said that you can make a fortune when you become an official, and the brothers believe it, and they try their best to maintain it during the day, just waiting to settle down and make a fortune, but this is a big deal of work, and your words don't count again, and if this continues, the brothers can't listen to you anymore."

"That's not a lot of silver, and that money must not be taken out."

"Brother Zhou, don't you think that our gang of people can really do a great job, and they can't come out." “” Zhou Shixiang listened quietly, Song Xianggong looked worried, and Boss Hu was also frowning, when Zhou Shixiang told him in advance that he wanted to move this silver, he knew that there would definitely be trouble, and sure enough, none of the men under him agreed.

After everyone finished arguing, Zhou Shixiang walked up to Ge Wu, who was flushed with anger, and asked him: "If we don't use this money to recruit troops, what are Brother Ge going to do?"

"Of course it's divided, what else can I do."

Ge Wu looked like he took it for granted, and Ge Liu couldn't help nodding.

"It's a good thing to divide it, everyone can get benefits, it's not in vain to come to this Luoding City with their heads, more than four thousand taels, well, everyone can get dozens of taels, if you extort it in the city again, how can it be considered a windfall," Speaking of this, Zhou Shixiang changed his words, but said: "But we broke Luoding City, this movement can make a big enough noise, do you think the Qing army can let us go" "What do you mean?"

"In the past, we fought in the mountains, and the Qing army naturally didn't take us seriously, but now we are playing under the banner of the Yongli court, which is very different from the bandits who rob the house, in the eyes of the Qing army, we are no longer grass cowards, but the Ming army tried to ask, the Qing army can watch us wash Luoding City, and then swagger back to the village to continue to be the king of the mountain" "This" Ge Wu's complexion changed greatly, and the rest of the people's faces didn't look good, yes, they patronized and made a fortune, but they didn't expect how to deal with the aftermath and break Luoding City, and the Tartars could let us go Zhou Shixiang threatened again: "The Qing army is really going to be determined to suppress us, but I am afraid that when the time comes, everyone will not only be unable to keep the silver, but also their lives."

"According to what you say, not only can we not take this silver, but we have to leave honestly" Ge Wu thought of the consequences, a little scared, and a little unwilling.

Zhou Shixiang shook his head slightly: "I don't mean to take it all, I mean only take half of it, and when we recruit soldiers, we will naturally not be afraid of the Qing army to fight when we have more people, what is this called?"

"Self-preservation."

Song Xianggong next to him cooperated in a timely manner.

"Yes, the power of self-preservation" Zhou Shixiang said loudly, "With the power of self-preservation, we not only have silver, but also soldiers and horses to protect ourselves, so that the Qing army will not dare to attack us easily."

When our strength is greater, it is not that we are afraid that the Qing army will attack us, but that we can take Luoding, Deqing, and even Guangzhou City, and it is not impossible to fight Beijing City in the future."

"Brother Zhou, you can blow this big word too much."

The prospect depicted by Zhou Shixiang made Ge Wu and them stunned, which one could believe it, even Boss Hu could open his mouth wide when he heard it, unbelievable.

Song Xianggong has bright eyes and a god.

Zhou Shixiang waved his hand: "The matter is man-made, as long as we all work together, what can't be done in this world, I said that I wanted to fight Luo Ding, and everyone didn't believe it, but what now?"

Ge Wu didn't know whether he was bluffed by Zhou Shixiang's big words, or if he was really moved, so he hesitated there: "That's what you said, but what you said is too suspenseful, let alone Guangzhou, even Deqing We can't beat it." ” Zhou Shixiang threw his raised hand down, drew a long arc, and said, "You haven't tried it, how do you know if you can't beat it?"

"I" Ge Wu pouted dryly, unable to say a word.

"In the future, every time we conquered a place, we would take out some of the looted money to recruit troops, and divide the rest among the people.

The more soldiers and horses we have, the stronger we are, the more places we can fight, the more places we occupy, and the more money we will share, the more money we will naturally get.

Everyone was speechless when they heard it, and after half a sound, Zhao Sihai came out with a sentence: "Xiucai, when will we be truly prosperous and rich, and we are not afraid of Tartars to fight" "When" Zhou Shixiang looked confident, "When all the Tartars in the world are afraid of us, everyone will naturally be able to feel at ease and enjoy the glory and wealth" oshow7 t1706231537:
