The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 530
Zhou Yuchang, governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, was busy recruiting the leaders of the bandits in Huguang.

Long has sneaked into the Qinling Mountains for two years. During the long time, he was active in the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, and experienced arduous battles.

Taking advantage of the low ebb of the rebel army outside and the slackness of the officers and soldiers, the main force was also in Huguang. Long Zaiqian led more than [-] old brothers and quietly broke into Henan.

The disaster in Henan was serious, and the people were starving, unbearable to die, and looking forward to life.

The name of the new king, through years of unwavering struggle, has spread across several provinces, even Jinling and other places, and the market has heard of it.

So people looked forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the new king. Whenever Long came to a place, countless refugees would actively join his team, and the number of people in his hand snowballed to fifty or sixty thousand.

What made Long Zaiqian even more excited was that there were countless old thieves who were unwilling to be recruited and chose to take refuge in him.

With strong soldiers and strong horses, they defeated the three counties of Lushan, Jiaxian, and Yiyang, and then conquered Yiyang.

Wherever it passes, civilians are not killed, only officials are killed.

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Yongning, after breaking the city, the rebels took the captured nobles of the clan and more than 100 landlords and gentry to Xiguan of the county for "interrogation".

During the interrogation, there were huge crowds of people. After the interrogation, they were executed on the spot. Every time a person was killed, the crowd erupted in loud cheers.

This is the end.

The team led by the dragon, not counting the camp of refugees who followed, had a strength of 10 soldiers, and what was even more frightening was that nearly half of them were veterans.

Relying on the old brother as the backbone, coupled with his prestige, and the complicated situation, the control over the army has not only not declined, but has increased.

Originally countless vagrant armies that went their separate ways have all turned into the Great New Army.

The old refugee army who survived today is not a soldier who has fought a hundred battles, and his physical foundation is not bad. With a unified command and the ability of the dragon in front, he has exerted [-]% of his power.

Liu Mingxian, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan, was defeated.

Lintao general Cao Dawang died in battle.

Yansui commander Wang Hong died in battle.

Li Jian, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, was defeated.

Shizhu Xuanfu made Ma Fang withdraw to Sichuan, and Cheng Zhixin, the general of Jinzhou, gathered the defeated troops while avoiding the new king and dared not fight.

"Many of our brothers' lives have been stained in your hands, but I don't blame you, each is his own master. I can't blame you for things on the battlefield."

Nearly [-] officers and soldiers became prisoners.

Many refugee soldiers wanted revenge and killed them all, but they were stopped by Long Zaiqian, and only his prestige could do this.

Standing in front of the officers and soldiers, Long Zaiqian slowed down his tone when he saw the apprehension and fear on people's faces.

"Speaking of which, we are all old acquaintances. Many of you know me, and I know quite a few of you."

The conversation suddenly changed, and Long made a joke in front of him.

Although the officers and soldiers dared not answer, the atmosphere was obviously relaxed.

"They're all old men, they don't behave like women, and I don't hide it. Tell you straight, you will submit to me, fight for me, conquer the capital, and sit in the world together. Wouldn't it be beautiful."

If you say this in the past, people would only laugh at his arrogance, but now no one can laugh.

Coercion and temptation, whether sincere or not, Long Zuo successfully recruited and surrendered tens of thousands of Zhou troops.

Wherever he went, the dragon would kill the officials before him, and provide food for the people, and the refugees from far and near would hoe them, and those who responded were like running water, day and night, with a call of millions, and the momentum could not be rushed.

They also conquered Yanshi, Lingbao, Xin'an, and Baofeng, preparing to take Luoyang.

At this point, Long has more than [-] soldiers and horses in front of him, and he has defeated officers and soldiers. His prestige is rising day by day, and he has the qualifications to aspire to the top.

Many landlords and squires began to take the initiative to join the New Army, either to protect themselves or to take advantage of the dragon.

Under their strategy, the White Lotus Sect was launched to spread among the people the prophecy that the new king will come out and the world will return, and at the same time they played the slogan of exempting the land from taxation.

Many methods were used, and Long Zaiqian was one of the refugee armies with the strictest military discipline in the rebel army. Therefore, the people from all over the country took the initiative to welcome the new army.

Another month.

The Great New Army conquered Luoyang and became famous, and then marched into Kaifeng, Kaifeng was broken, the capital was in danger, and the court was in a panic.

Tian Yongming, who was recruited to surrender, was stimulated by the dragon and was unwilling to fall behind, so he rebelled again and led the army to attack Sichuan.

Cheng Zhixin led the lieutenants Chen Zhi, He Shenyuan, Zhao Gekeng, etc., and gathered the defeated troops from various ministries, and the number of troops rose to more than [-].

Sandwiched between Sichuan and Henan, neither side dared to fight, the government was destroyed, and the local order was lost, everything had to be figured out by himself.

Before he knew it, there were refugees who had no food to seek refuge with him, and he was unwilling to push them to the refugee army to increase the strength of the refugee army, so he took in the refugees.

Before the local government is wiped out, he will never dare to do this, and he will definitely be impeached and convicted.

There was an indescribable meaning, Cheng Zhixin suddenly felt that there was no restraint on his body, all the previous rules disappeared, and no one could control him anymore.

The big local households who used to be aloof have become submissive and begged him for protection.

"It feels good."

Cheng Zhixin tossed and turned at night, even the beauties under the covers couldn't attract him, he was startled by his new thoughts while thinking wildly.

Cheng Zhixin was the only organized army in several provinces, and Ma Fang, the other Xuanfu envoy of Stone Pillar, retreated step by step in the face of Tian Yongming's attack.

Zhou Ting's government offices in several provinces were completely destroyed and order was lost.

Marquis Ping Liao is a future trouble, but the peasant army has become a serious trouble. To tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, the emperor urgently ordered King Zhongshun to lead troops into Henan to suppress the bandits.

Liaoxi Army, three major battalions, mobilized [-] elite soldiers.

King Zhongshun thought about it, but he had no choice but to save the immediate danger, regardless of the strength of the line of defense he had built with his own hands after losing [-] elite soldiers.

After the reorganization of the army, King Zhongshun ordered the whole army to attack, and marched to Kaifeng in a hurry to break the siege of Feng.

Faced with the withdrawal of the three major battalions one after another, Ma Dingguo was ready to move, and shouted that he should take the opportunity to seize Denglai, and he must not miss the time.

"This is my battle plan."

Ma Dingguo held Yang Chun with both hands solemnly.

Yang Chun took it and read it carefully.

"As long as [-] soldiers are needed to attack these strongholds, first sweep the surrounding areas and pull out the three major battalions one by one. Although the three major battalions have many soldiers, we will attack them one by one. We will attack more and less, and gather flags with great fanfare to shake the morale of the three battalions. .”

Ma Dingguo said confidently.

"We want to give the three battalions an illusion that the Jinjiang Army is going to attack aggressively, so that they will panic and dare not leave the camp."

Yang Chun approved of Ma Dingguo's plan, but shook his head.

He has been in the military school for many years and has a deep relationship. From his understanding, if the higher authorities have the purpose of taking advantage of the opportunity, they will not fail to make arrangements in advance.

However, no news has been received so far, which shows that there is no plan to attack Denglai.

But facing his favorite student and the most radical student, Yang Chun didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.

"Your battle plan is very good, but the overall situation is a game of chess, and many things must be focused on the overall situation, and should not be moved lightly."

Hearing what the teacher said, Ma Dingguo looked disappointed.

With the prestige of Jinjiang Town among the refugees in Shandong, as long as they raise their arms, all people will surely respond, and the three major battalions will surely lose.

"The bigger picture matters, however."

Ma Dingguo looked at the teacher unconvinced.

He believes that many of the military division's plans are wrong, focusing on external rather than internal.

As a young man, influenced by his father, he loved this land and cared for the people. It was because he had ideals in his heart that he was able to succeed in the military academy.

But also because of his father's ending, he was disappointed with the court, and felt that the court's immorality was the culprit that caused the suffering of the people.

To overthrow the imperial court as soon as possible, and let the general be the emperor with the general's ability, must be the best Mingjun for the people.

Yang Chun raised his hand and interrupted Ma Dingguo's words.

"No buts."

The pioneering style of Jinjiang Town, coupled with the military academy, made the young people seem a little impatient, which is not a bad thing in Yang Chun's opinion.

Young people are not radical, so what kind of young people are they? Compared with numbness, Yang Chun prefers radical young people.

As for the kind of maturity and stability that surpasses youth, it is rare.

Looking at the children of the military academy, among the students Yang Chun knew, only Ge Shifeng had this kind of character.

Not everyone can be like Ge Shifeng.

"You have to understand one thing. You are not a student anymore, but a soldier. You must put military discipline first, not like you were in school."

Yang Chun taught.

Although the name of the military academy has the word military in it, it is still a school in the final analysis. The students say that military discipline is the most important thing, but they don't really understand it.

If you make a mistake in school, the school will give students a chance to correct it. If you make a mistake in the army, only military law can do it.

The biggest gap between these young children and others is that they have too strong personalities.

"It's not up to you to judge whether the military commander is right or wrong."

"The military commander is wrong, why can't he blame him?"

Ma Dingguo said unconvinced.

"Because your position is low, you are only a sentry officer, and you are only qualified to execute orders."

Yang Chun was not polite at all, which deeply hurt the young man's self-esteem.

A fire of embarrassment and anger rose in his heart, and Ma Dingguo quickly suppressed it. He knew that the instructor Yang Chun was doing it for his own good.

"Here."

Ma Dingguo gave a military salute and left unhappy.

Birds of a feather flock together.

People are social animals first, and then they are social animals. It is normal behavior to form their own circle.

In line with human nature, suitable for social competition.

Compared with Li Rujing and the others' circle, Ma Dingguo's circle is very small, and they are not taken seriously.

But Li Rujing's big circle is not the norm. On the contrary, Ma Dingguo's small circle is the real public in the military academy.

It is the real cornerstone of Jinjiang Town.

His plan was not conceived by him alone, but by the brainstorming and discussion of the robes and others.

So people gathered around him, with anticipation on their faces.

"Sorry, I didn't do well."

Ma Dingguo said disappointedly.

After hearing the words, the younger generations became increasingly dissatisfied, but no one accused Ma Dingguo.

"We are all colleagues. If you did not do well, it means that all of us did not do well. It is not your responsibility alone."

But the look of disappointment could not be suppressed by everyone.

Someone began to cry.

They have been studying for more than ten years, and who doesn't want to show their skills.

They are not as good as Li Rujing, Ge Shifeng, or the seniors of the previous batches. It is a matter of opportunity.

No one feels inferior to others.

"Why don't you say no clothes? The same robes as your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear. I share the same hatred with my son!"

Someone started crying and singing.

"Why don't you say that you have no clothes? You are in the same pool with your son. Wang Yuxing's teacher, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with your son!"

Everyone sings.

"Why don't you say you have no clothes? I have the same clothes as my son. Wang Yuxing's division, repair my armor and soldiers. Walk with my son!"

Don't worry about not having the right jersey, we wear the same jersey as you, so your jersey is our jersey.

The concept of uniformity among officers and soldiers in military academies is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Qin Ge is the favorite military song for younger generations.

"The military commander only pays attention to them, ignores us, and is unwilling to listen to our appeals. He is so stingy even to look at them squarely."

Some people only refer to the military commander.

This group of young people went deep into the country, and in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, gathering and organizing refugees was not without danger.

Officers and soldiers will turn their faces at any time, and they gambled their lives.

And obviously there are many opportunities in front of him, and he tried his best to report to the military commander, but he always refused.

People are dissatisfied with the military division.

They have a wealth of military knowledge. They forged their physiques from an early age, learned martial arts, and knew all kinds of tactics.

In their eyes, as long as the military commander supports them, even if they only give them a few thousand soldiers, they can seize Denglai and pave the way for the general to enter Beijing.

"It is said that court officials are slack, so it is not the case within us."

"Are you afraid of death?"

Ma Dingguo asked suddenly.

This kind of talk is nonsense. None of the people present felt that they were afraid of death. What they were afraid of was being lost in the crowd and not being able to stretch their ambitions.

Dunley had two hundred cadets.

But there are more than [-] people in the refugee area, and many people have been affected by them.

"The military commander is incompetent. We can't miss this opportunity. If we do it ourselves, 200 people can turn the world upside down."

"it is good."

"color."

Someone suddenly realized and raised his hands in support.

He did what he said, and with them as the core, he began to secretly contact the rest of his colleagues, but none of them complained.

~~~~~~
This year's situation is changing too fast, Tang Qing'an ordered that the first town and the second town shrink their forces, preserve their power, try not to cause extra problems, and prepare for the town.

The third town strengthens the training of veterans and restores the strength of the town as soon as possible.

Fourth town.

The temperance envoy Peng Dahai, the town envoy Tao Kai, the inspection envoy Fang Shizhen, and the experience Liu Xianglian are fully responsible for the affairs of Japan.

Whether it is going north to the mainland of Japan or going west to Kyushu, the fourth town will respond according to the situation.

"General."

Xue Bian, the new Secretary of General Administration, ran in in a panic.

Tang Qing'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Denley rebelled."

"what?"

Tang Qing'an was stunned.

Denglai was not taken seriously, and he didn't even have a sound establishment. It was just a proving ground for the Jinzhou Military Academy, where the instructor Yang Chun led the graduates there.

"Yang Chun led the graduates to rebel, under the banner of the Jinjiang Army, gathered the refugees to revolt, and attacked the three major battalions."

"What?"

Tang Qing'an couldn't react.

With Yang Chun's temperament, he couldn't do such a thing. Tang Qing'an couldn't digest this urgent report, and only thought it was a fantasy.

"What message did Yang Chun send back?"

Xue Biao shook his head quickly.

"It's a message from the merchants, and the specifics are unclear."

"Go explore."

Tang Qing'an said sternly.

Since the establishment of the Jinjiang army, except for the guerrilla zone, it was the first incident of violating the order of the military commander in many years.

The entire Jinzhou was shaken, and Xie Youcheng, the military commander, looked extremely ugly.

As the head of the military division, the Denglai incident was not good news for him.
