Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 176
The dilapidated wall of the village was built with simple wooden piles, and inside and outside the wall became two worlds.

The Peasant Army is not a paradise, and the internal hierarchy is strict. The highest level is the big leader like Wang Zuohang Lone Wolf Miaomei, and then their own soldiers, deserters who can fight, Jiangyang robbers, local thieves, and village tyrants form the warrior class. , These people are about two to 3000 people. Among the peasant army, they have the best equipment and the best treatment.

The next [-] to [-] men who can fight finally formed the second class. During the looting, they had no part. During the war, these cronies and backbones rushed to the front, and they just followed behind to help fight. They had two meals a day, barely enough Can eat a full stomach.

The most miserable ones are those old and weak refugees who follow. They only have one meal a day, and they can barely survive. Every time they plunder or fight with the army, they are pushed to the front line as cannon fodder. At this time, Wang The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated in the barracks on the left has nothing to do with them at all.

He didn't even want to distribute the severance food given by the imperial court. The food cart brought by Li Yingyuan was thrown outside the stockade, and he didn't want Li Yingyuan to bring people into the stockade to shake the morale of those poor soldiers. Wang Zuohang simply put the banquet on After leaving the stockade, the cronies of the leaders of various ministries also followed.

Twenty loads of grain in one cart, these two hundred carts are four thousand loads!A large amount of new supplies arrived, and the peasant army was very happy from top to bottom. The old, weak, hungry, and hungry people were staring at the ragged clothes, the old, the weak, and the hungry, and the cronies outside were killing cattle. When slaughtering a sheep, a dozen soldiers filled the yard chasing a mad pig with a knife stuck in its back. The slaughtered animals were cut into large pieces and thrown into the pot without the fur of the slaughtered animals. The bloody broth immediately rolled over When he got up, there was a fishy smell.

The officers and soldiers brought more than a dozen carts of spirits. When the big jar was opened, the strong aroma of the wine immediately attracted those depraved deserters. The burnt knives were made quite intensely, and the clear white wine was poured into a large bowl and poured down in one gulp. The murderous bandits who drank it immediately blushed like a monkey's butt, eating meat and drinking in large chunks, There were also people who cried and howled and danced in an embarrassing dance where people were not like people and ghosts were not like ghosts. Looking from a distance, it was like a group of demons dancing wildly.

The soldiers guarding the leader's tent were also drunk, stumbling into a mess, their eyes dazed and dizzy, but they didn't notice that the number of officers and soldiers had increased!

Under the sacks and wheels of the heavy grain trucks, officers and soldiers covered in gray came out like ghosts. Without paying attention, they surrounded Wang Zuo's tent with three floors inside and three floors outside.

In the tent, it has been less than half an hour since Li Yingyuan arrived, and the wine he brought is even more fine wine. Where did the leader of the peasant army composed of peasant deserters in the tent drink such fine wine? At first he winked at Wang Zuo Xia still knew how to be more restrained, but there were not a few bowls, and everyone let go of their bellies. Even Wang Zuohang was as drunk as a three-legged bobcat now.

"Master Li, I would like to offer you a toast. If you hadn't recruited me, I wouldn't be here now! Uh~"

Breathing out a stench of wine and meat, Wang Zuohang wobbled and raised the wine bowl. Li Yingyuan could smell the pungent bad breath even if it was more than three meters away, which made him disgusted again. He frowned.

Immediately following Wang Zuohang's words, Lone Wolf, one of Wang Zuohang's most powerful men next to him, also pointed the red triangle like a pendulum.

"No, it's better to join the army. Before, you had to listen to the general manager and follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. Now you can see whoever is not pleasing to your mother's eyes. You can snatch it if you see that girl is beautiful. Who the hell, Li, Mr. Li, I just snatched more than a dozen beautiful women and aunts, and after drinking in a while, I will take you to have a good time!"

The filthy chatter of the lone wolf caused dozens of leaders of the peasant army in the tent to roar with laughter. Li Yingyuan, who was used to being a soldier, couldn't bear it even more, but at this moment, a man outside the tent was holding a knife Suddenly, the figure in front of Li Yingyuan knelt down heavily, and for a moment, the corner of the official's mouth in his 40s couldn't help but twitch.

"Okay! Wangdusi is indeed brave and loyal, and has the court in his heart. In addition to sending relief food to the army this time, Li has one more thing, that is, Governor Hong intends to cultivate Wangdusi or the opposite Qinghe Wei Songdu as one of them." One is the commander-in-chief, what do you think about it?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the whole room fell silent.

Commander!A senior official of the second rank, in the early years of Chongzhen, he had not been reduced to the level of the number of general soldiers. Li Yingyuan said that he would promote himself to be the chief soldier!Even this old bandit who had experienced many battles was dumbfounded for a moment.

A rude curse broke the silence in the tent, and he slammed the meat-cutting knife on the table. The lone wolf opened and closed his big greasy mouth, yelling curses amidst the strong stench.

"His mother is a hammer, what is Song Fool, he has more people under his command, not even a bloody one who can fight or kill, and he has a bunch of muddy legs farming, he has the guts to compete with my family with a hammer This general?"

"That's right, cross the river in a while and kill these muddy legs, damn it!"

"Only our family's top brass are qualified to be the chief soldier. Whoever dares to snatch it, I'll fuck him up!"

Unpleasant cursing voices rang out in the tent immediately, a large group of peasant army leaders cursed, their dog faces seemed to be about to bite people, but at this time, Wang Zuohang came to his senses, after all, he had experienced storms Knowing that there is no chance of pie in the sky, he waved his hand to stop the roar of his subordinates with three points of doubt, and asked Li Yingyuan suspiciously.

"Master Li, may I ask what kind of general the imperial court gave me, the Yansui general or the Lintao general? Is the idiot in Song Dynasty in Qinghe on the opposite side under my control? Where is the station?"

Don't fool me into playing Shen Yiyuan, I am not stupid!Staring at Li Yingyuan, Wang Zuohang thought viciously.

Who knew that Li Yingyuan would laugh out loud at this time, and after laughing for a while, he shook his head and said with emotion: "Master Wang thinks too much, and Song Dusi will not be under the command of your lord. As for your lord The station is in the Yincao Difu, and the commanders are all ghost soldiers present here!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Feeling bad for a moment, Wang Zuohang stretched out his hand to grab the knife, but before he could reach it, a serious sense of crisis came from behind, and he woke up from the wine. This Wang Zuohang is a lazy donkey Rolling over, he turned several times to the left. At this time, his back had been pierced into a screen, and more than a dozen spears were poking in.

"Damn it, the officers and soldiers have been sent out, and they all drew their knives and pulled the work side by side!" After realizing it, the Lone Wolf let out a ghostly cry, and suddenly pulled out the knives. Before he could slash at Li Yingyuan, he slammed, A bloody hole appeared on his shoulder with the end of a gun, and the gangster screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

Dozens of generals of the Peasant Army yelled and drew their knives and guns. Countless spears stabbed in from the outside. With the sound of puffing and puffing, blood sprayed all over the tent. After cutting open the tent, countless Ming soldiers rushed in, and the leaders of the Peasant Army, who managed to escape the catastrophe, suddenly drew their swords in a panic and fought into a group.

At this time, the soldiers of Wang Zuohang outside the tent were already dead and wounded. Some people were so drunk that they didn't even know who killed them. He stepped back from the opening of the tent, watched Wang Zuohang block the three knives, cursed himself desperately, and then two spears pierced him from behind, which happened to open two transparent holes in his body. Li Yingyuan smiled contemptuously.

"A mere pariah, who still wants to be the chief soldier, and I'm blind."

Without looking back, he got out of the tent, and seeing officers and soldiers hacking everywhere in front of the stockade, Li Yingyuan coldly ordered to his cronies beside him: "Send a signal to the commander-in-chief!"

Booming three cannons, the heavy horseshoes immediately set off a sky full of yellow smoke on the loess high slope. To the south, Du Wenhuan led 4000 soldiers from the multilateral army, leading the vanguard with thousands of multilateral army cavalry, and rushed over fiercely. , The reinforcements from the government army from Yan'an Mansion also burst out. On the loess high slope that was cut by the years, a bloody massacre was revealed extremely cruelly. The leaderless peasant army is not an opponent of the government army at all. , The iron cavalry broke through the simple wall of the village, and the saber hacked into the backs and necks of the hungry people running around while the frontier soldiers grinned.

In the shadow of blood-colored knives, the corpses of men and women scrambled to the ground. The dried loess had sucked enough blood, and it was so scarlet and sticky that it couldn't be pulled out even if one stepped on it. On the east bank of the Fenchuan River.

"It's finally starting!"

Outside the elm forest 28 miles away from Qingquanwei, standing on a big rock, holding two transparent crystals that I managed to get from an antique shop this time, and the wooden binoculars that I finally polished out, I looked at it for a long time. Looking at the billowing black smoke, Song Qingshu finally let out a breath of relief.

But Song Qingshu didn't feel joy at this moment, but felt a feeling of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox. He let out a deep breath and sat back. The telescope in his hand was immediately snatched away by Liu Zongmin who waited for a long time with red eyes.

"After a while, you will be a guerrilla general, my lord, aren't you happy?" Dian Dengzi was already happy, even though he was also a leader of the peasant army, his status as a scholar still made him dislike Wang Zuogua and others. Seeing Song Qingshu sitting on the ground looking tired, he couldn't help but hugged Song Qingshu with a happy face.

"I'm afraid that we will be alone in the future, maybe one day, Hong Chengchou will also chop me with a knife." Song Qingshu sighed with emotion, and Zhao Sheng was amused when he heard it. He turned his head and pointed to the potato field still visible in the distance , said with a smile.

"Based on this, even if Hong Chengchou falls, my lord, you won't fall!"

At this time, Li Tiezhu, who was in charge of the hunting of the outer cavalry, suddenly ran over in a hurry, knelt down on the ground more than one meter away from Song Qingshu, and reported eagerly.

"My lord! The imperial court lined up more than 100 officers and soldiers, pushing more than 40 taxis and came straight to us. They said they wanted to fuck, and entertained your lord!"

"Banquet me?"

Hearing these words, Song Qingshu suddenly felt the hairs on his back grow up in an instant...
