I want to be emperor

Chapter 77 Huang Guangmao also has a temper

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

This made Huang Guangmao, who participated in the military meeting for the first time, a little Alexander, and felt a little regretful in his heart for speaking out.

But he also knew that since he made the first move, he couldn't dodge it, otherwise, it would be difficult to stay in the village protection camp in the future.

Immediately he said loudly: "A month ago I led the army to a disastrous defeat in Songshan, but Wang Jida managed to escape, and threw the blame on me."

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

I just heard him continue: "According to my understanding of the government, the government and army suffered such a disastrous defeat at Funiu Mountain. There must be follow-up actions. In any case, they can't just sit back and watch us develop and grow in Funiu Mountain."

Speaking of this, Huang Guangmao has already regarded himself as a member of the Baoxiangying, and the word "us" has already been brought into his words.

"And the reason why the officers and soldiers didn't come before was because the thieves went east and put huge pressure on the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains, so the officers and soldiers didn't care about us."

"However, I think you all know what happened to those rogues. They seem to have a large number of people, but they are just a group of rogues. The siege of the city seems to be powerful, but it can't last. If they don't want the officers and soldiers Surrounded and wiped out, they will continue to flee and fight, otherwise, it will be a death sentence sooner or later."

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

"At that time, our rural protection battalion will inevitably be attacked by officers and soldiers again."

"And with the failure of the Songshan battle, 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 pounce. They will not send only a few hundred soldiers over like before. .”

"At that time, my Funiu Mountain will be in danger, and the Baoxiang Camp will be in danger!"

After Huang Guangmao said a lot, he stopped to see everyone's reaction, and he was relieved to see everyone pondering one by one.

What I said should have attracted their attention, which is good for my subsequent development in the rural protection camp.

Maybe General Luo Zhixue would pay more attention to himself, and remove the word "acting deputy director of the staff office" above his head as soon as possible.

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

And all this changed three days ago!

Luo Zhixue only summoned him once three days ago, and after talking with him for about [-] minutes, Huang Guangmao got a new appointment.

Deputy Director of the Acting Staff Office!

It's no longer the titular senior staff member hanging around like before, who can only watch but not act on everything, and can't even talk too much.

Naturally, there was a reason for Huang Guangmao to change from a senior staff officer to an acting deputy director of the staff office.

When Luo Zhixue summoned him three days ago, he showed him the latest official mansion newspaper, a transcribed circular, and several external intelligence reports sent back by caravan spies.

These notifications and intelligence are all talking about one thing, that is, the failure of the previous government army to suppress Funiu Mountain.

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

In the end, Wang Jida went through many bitter battles and successfully blocked the Funiu Mountain thieves' intention to go east, killed hundreds of thieves, and successfully defended tens of thousands of villagers in Lushan...

This is nothing, the key is that the residence newspaper said that Wang Jida was promoted to Ruzhou Tongzhi because of his meritorious service in suppressing thieves.

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

The reason why Huang Guangmao's entire army was annihilated in the Battle of Songshan was not because Wang Jida's bastard repeatedly forced him to attack and die.

Otherwise, according to Huang Guangmao's plan, after the first storm failed, he would set up camp honestly, and continuously send small-scale troops around to attack, and fight small-scale wars of attrition with the bandits while waiting for reinforcements from the rear.

I dare not say that it is safe, but it will definitely not fall to the point where the entire army is wiped out. At most, it will be unable to attack for a long time.

And when the reinforcements arrive, how long can the hundreds of rebels in Songshan resist?
However, Wang Jida was obsessed with wanting the leader of the bandit army, wanting to get promoted and make a fortune, so he forced him to launch a second storm, which eventually led to a crushing defeat.

After the defeat, Huang Guangmao became the one who took the blame for the defeat, not to mention that the bastard Wang Jida was even 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...

Regarding this, Huang Guangmao broke out on the spot, and said: "If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman."

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

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

In the end, Wang Jida also put forward a condition that was not considered a condition to Luo Zhixue: if one day the Baoxiang camp invaded Ruzhou, Wang Jida should be captured alive as much as possible, and finally Wang Jida should be handed over to him, Huang Guangmao.

He, Huang Guangmao, wanted to cut Wang Jida into pieces with his own hands, otherwise the hatred in his heart would be hard to get rid of!
Luo Zhixue was also very satisfied with Huang Guangmao's surrender. In the past month, he had been paying attention to Huang Guangmao and Fei Bingqing and other surrendered generals. Luo Zhixue was looking forward to these people, otherwise he would not bother I want to make them truly surrender.

These few people are mid-level generals in the Ming army. When it comes to training the army, they don't talk about actual operations, but their ability to talk about soldiers on paper is much stronger than that of low-level officers like Wang Xiazi, who are from the top soldiers.

Luo Zhixue doesn't need them to actually lead troops and train, but only needs to put forward some effective suggestions.

No matter how bad it is, these people used to be mid-level generals in the Ming army. They also have a better understanding of the internal system and combat methods of the Ming army, and they can also learn about the details of the Ming army through them.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Therefore, Luo Zhixue still hoped that these surrendered generals could be truly regained, not because of the situation and coping with it in order to have enough food, but the kind that sincerely offered good suggestions.

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

And sent people to collect detailed information, and the information did not live up to his expectations, and became the last straw that overwhelmed Huang Guangmao and others.

Generals like Huang Guangmao fought life and death to help civilian officials like Tan Zhengling and Wang Jida to suppress the thieves. Lao, and even blamed Huang Guangmao for his stupidity, which led to the disastrous defeat.

This is tantamount to throwing the scapegoat for their failure to conquer Funiu Mountain on their heads.

It's okay to take the blame, it's a routine operation, and Huang Guangmao has seen it before, but at the same time as he was taking the blame, that bastard Wang Jida was promoted because of it, which made him extremely upset.

Huang Guangmao is also a man with a temper. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he planned to hide his name and become a traitor.

Anyway, the court doesn't know his life or death, and he will not hurt his family if he hides his name as a traitor.

After being defeated in the army, working as a prisoner of war for a few days, and working as a senior staff officer for more than a month, and at the same time seeing the operations of Wang Jida and others, Huang Guangmao finally understood.

He would never be able to hang out in the imperial court, even if he escaped from the Baoxiang camp by chance, he would not be able to return to the imperial court to hang out.

He can guarantee that once he leaks the news after escaping from Funiu Mountain, he will be arrested by the government in a short time, and he will be charged with a lot of crimes. It is appropriate to beheaded at that time.

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

Under such circumstances, there is only one way in front of him, either to hide his name and live incognito, or join the Baoxiang camp as a rebel to see if he can make a career out of it.

He didn't mean that he had to hang out with Luo Zhixue and the others, if Luo Zhixue was defeated and died in the future, he would have to find another way to make a living.

It's just that before Luo Zhixue's defeat, he planned to hang out with Luo Zhixue.

And after more than a month of his observation, he didn't think that the Baoxiang camp was vulnerable.

According to his observation, although the strength of the Baoxiang Battalion is not large, it is now full of troops. Counting the recruits in the new barracks who are undergoing basic recruit training, there are only a thousand soldiers.

But he could see that this rural protection battalion was different from ordinary rebels, and had a much better future than ordinary thieves.

Ordinary anti-thieves would not be able to engage in such a formal organization and tactics, and even make their own artillery and guns, but this is how the Baoxiangyingying did it, and it played very smoothly. Although such a Xiangbaoying only has a thousand people, it can fight There are only seven to eight hundred people, but if they are pulled out to fight, their combat effectiveness will be stronger than those tens of thousands of thieves.

Because these 800 people are all soldiers. Except for reclamation during the busy farming season, they do nothing all day long. They train every day and eat very good food.

And there are hundreds of fine cavalry and a large artillery team.

If he brought seven or eight hundred soldiers like this, he would dare to directly chase down the thieves with a scale of tens of thousands.

When officers and soldiers face such a rural battalion, if they want to win, they must pull out at least 1000 soldiers. If they want to win steadily, they must pull out 2000 soldiers, and they must have artillery and cavalry. There must be at least two or three hundred elite cavalry.

Baoxiangying not only has such combat power, but also acts differently from ordinary thieves, and this makes Huang Guangmao pay more attention to it.

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

Ordinary thieves would not occupy a territory like the Baoxiangying and then collect taxes and conscripts.

What the thieves play is to conquer a place and rob it all, and then take the refugees who have lost their homes and kill them to the next place. Whether it is Gao Yingxiang's department or Zhang Xianzhong's department, Li Zicheng's department is basically the same.

Such a bandit seems to be powerful, but in fact it is a rootless duckweed. Once it encounters setbacks, it will collapse in minutes.

In Huang Guangmao's view, such a different Baoxiangying has a better future than those thieves.

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 fell on the way of rebellion. Can Luo Zhixue succeed?

The chances are too slim!
However, he didn't know what Baoxiangying would do in the end, and what Luo Zhixue would do in the end, but he was certain of one thing: the Zhu Ming Dynasty would definitely come to an end.

Nowadays, there are refugees all over the world, wars are everywhere, and the imperial court is suppressing bandits every year, but the counter-thieves are getting more and more suppressed, and there are still Dong captives outside, who will detour and enter the pass every three days to plunder.

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

More importantly, a loyal minister like himself who was dedicated to serving the court ended up being a scapegoat for defeat, while Wang Jida, who forced him to be defeated, was promoted and made a fortune.

No reward for meritorious service, no punishment for crimes, so why is Zhu Ming immortal!

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