There was a chaotic crowd near Yangong Temple in the north, all of whom were chaotic soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army who were driven back from the Sanshan Lake fortification. Everyone lost their weapons in the tent and lost their institutions, and they mixed together in a mess.
A young man in the crowd kicked the stones that emerged from the soil. He looked very angry, as if the stone had offended him.
Then he found a big hole in his loose trouser legs, and bent down to check with distress, slapped the dust on his body with his hands.
His behavior was very strange.
The young man's name was Wang Dazhu. In the past, the village called him Dazhu, Dazhu Ge or the eldest son of the Wang family. After joining the army, he was registered as Wang Dazhu, a native of Wuchang Prefecture.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new army, the low-level lieutenants were very lacking, and they were directly designated by Shangguan from the newly enlisted men; Dazhu was a big man, and when he stood there, he looked at him and said, "You are the captain of the small flag..."
He became a soldier in a daze, including his six soldiers, and since then he also changed his clothes to copper buttons.
But he did not expect that this would bring great changes to himself. The rich man from the village was invited to the county once. When he came back, he willingly divided his land into several acres to give to Dazhu's family. They were all good land for paddy fields. Yes, it was free!
He also said a lot of good things, and from then on, the villagers were polite when they saw the Dazhu family.
Dazhu still remembers the scene of going home on vacation.
Wearing a well-ironed military uniform, he specially changed into a white lining that he had only worn when he was reviewing the etiquette. He also took the white note from the army and went to the warehousing warehouse to change a bag of cloth and salt and carried it back, and immediately returned home in glory.
Everyone from a family came to greet him, as if he had become an official.
Although he knew that his second uncle, he had a lot of knowledge, said that he had not expected good fortune, but none of these matters. What mattered was that he felt that he had suddenly become taller...
The most beautiful girl in the same village, Xiao Cui, whom she liked since childhood, suddenly became secretly secretly.
The young and strong people of the same age in the village either have their legs covered in rags and are digging for food in the ground, or they are stealing and hiding with some people who are not in a good position.
Dazhu's sudden and decent young man, who was tall and tall, could easily capture the heart of the village girl Xiao Cui; because Xiao Cui was beautiful, she had been favored by the Yu family, who was well-off in the county, but she did not agree, and secretly gave the purse sewn by herself to express her feelings.
Dazhu is very satisfied with his current life and has meat to eat in the army.Once Shangguan Rang shouted slogans, unity and glory, and he gradually understood what glory is.
But as soon as he went to the battlefield, he was poured with a basin of cold water, easily defeated by the government army, and was chased back like a dog; even Dazhu's military uniform that he cherished was torn, and he didn't know where the swords and guns were thrown.
That's why the scene of sulking just now...
Maybe my second uncle made sense. In the future, Emperor Jianwen in Wuchang City will be dragged down, and his family will become the leader of the rebellion and the disaster will come.
Damn it, the official army is so fierce!I heard that people in the Beijing camp could kill ten Tartars in the north... Someone was talking quietly next to him.
Have you ever killed someone?
I don’t know, I was behind the wall before, and I called out and fired a gun. There was smoke in front of my mother, but who knew if I was hit!
At this moment, others suddenly stopped talking and stood up. Wang Dazhu turned his head and saw a general with a green belt with a knife coming over on a horse. The ones with the belts were all middle and senior generals, and the ones with the green ones were the chief flag officers. This was also considered a high-ranking official to the lower-level soldiers.
The general raised his whip and cursed: Why are you doing while sitting? You have nothing to do?The camp will deliver food in a while. If you want to eat, go and chop some firewood first!
Everyone is from ordinary people and is naturally afraid of officials. Even if they don’t know what troops they will lead, they are officials, so everyone is a rule.
Wang Dazhu is better. He is the leader of the small flag and is often with generals at the level of the general flag officer.
He couldn't help but walk over and said: "Bi Zhengqi, Beizhi is the leader of the small flag of Wang Dazhu, the fourth post of the Sixth Army of the Huben Camp.
The general looked at it and asked: What is your team called?
Wang Dazhu replied without hesitation: Lord Wu Bao, Lord Wu.
The general nodded. Wu Bao heard that he had shown his face in front of the King of Hunan, so he knew him.The general asked: What's wrong with you?A group of people over there, don’t have a commander? Take them to chop wood.
Wang Dazhu said: I just want to ask, what are we doing here? Can we fight back?
Oh!You're still a little bit motivated.
The general smiled and said, "It's good that there will be an adult later. You will reorganize your messy defeated soldiers and will be dispatched tomorrow morning."
After saying that, the general was unwilling to have too much talk with Wang Dazhu, so he left.
Dazhu was left with a confused look. Even though he knew little, he could see that the messy group of people in front of him could not fight again in a short time, let alone going to go tomorrow?
The generals and soldiers are in chaos. Most of the people around you who don’t know can’t even call them. How can you do it on the battlefield?
Brother, our little flag has died in the ditch on the other side of Sanshan Lake. The commander just now asked us to follow you, so we will be with you.
An old man, who is at least forty or fifty years old, came to get close.
Wang Dazhu was also a straightforward young man who was very close to each other. He immediately took a few people out to chop firewood and then waited for rice to get his hair.
Sure enough, when the sun was far west, several large carts of cows came from the camp and delivered food.
A group of people riding horses surrounded by a black beard and horse-faced man also came to the garrison of the riots. Dazhu knew this person, Zhou Mengxiong, the commander of the Third Battalion of the New Army.
Zhou Mengxiong often talks in the army, and everyone knows him.
Several generals who Zhou Mengxiong accompanied came here separately and began to designate generals at will.
Let the rebel soldiers temporarily follow the newly designated generals, and then the generals will rectify their soldiers' queues. If there is no number, the first team and the second team...
There are 11th teams in total.
After a long time, Zhou Mengxiong also climbed a slope and spoke loudly: The army will be dispatched tomorrow, and the number of people must be enough.Although you have just re-arranged the queue, you only need to follow the army and there is no need to fight for the time being, so you don’t need to panic. After these few days, I will send someone to reorganize and restore the structure of each post...
So Wang Dazhu changed from a soldier to a soldier, because each brigade only designated one military general, and the others were soldiers.
That night, everyone burned a fire in the open air in the ground, and made do with it all night in the cold wind. There was nothing in the tent and no one was on guard.
The next morning, everyone was awakened by the sound of horns from the shaking of sorrow, and then cooked and was lined up by the temporary generals.
Then he fired weapons, one man and one short gun with a wooden handle and an iron head, and there was no firearm.
Some soldiers in the team lost their helmets, and some were not lost. They could only form the team with unequal equipment.
Soon a middle-aged thick waisted man came, summoning all teams to express his military orders, and became the main general of this mob.
Everyone lined up in line to start moving southeast under the general's order, which was the direction where the defeated soldiers fled yesterday. It seems that they really want to fight back?
Wang Dazhu took a short gun that he thought was useless and followed the team through the fortification group on the south bank of Yangzhuang Lake. He soon found that more people came from the north, gathered into a long crowd, and continued to march to the south.
The army was all infantry and walked very slowly. After walking like this for more than half an hour, I ordered the marching to stop and rest on the spot.
The big pillar among the defeated army was very puzzled. The new army was not allowed to delay this when training. Today, I was walking around and stopping.
At this time, the defeated general's inspection team came to the first brigade where Wang Dazhu was located. The team was asking for the doubts in their hearts: General, are we going to regain the territory of Sanshan Lake?
The middle-aged man smiled and said: Our army first evacuated the Sanshan Lake defense line, and then fell into the hands of the official army. Why should we rush to take it back?Our army was just trying to recover on this trip, but it seemed to be afraid.The purpose is to lure the main force of the official army to attack.
After hearing this, the team suddenly said: It turned out that the general was using a trick to lure the enemy. What if the enemy soldiers did not take the bait?
The middle-aged man said: Then Zhu Mian believes that our new army is not their opponent in the battle formation... I am afraid that it is really not their opponent if we fight like this.Seeing that tens of thousands of people could be destroyed with their hands, how could he not take the bait?The Grand Marshal (Zhou Mengxiong) has already made a decision to persuade military generals not to be greedy for merit, just like advising merchants not to be greedy for money. Now even four horses cannot pull Zhu Mian back.After waiting, he will definitely send troops.
The team asked again: When the official army comes to attack, do we have to run back again?
The middle-aged man said: I was ordered to answer the questions of each department, so that you would not be depressed and unstable after such trouble.Yesterday, Zhu Mian led the Shenji Camp and the Fifth Army Camp to capture the Sanshan Lake defense line, which was originally just a test attack. Later, because he wanted to know if we had ambush, he sent people to search within a radius of twenty miles, so he delayed the time and stayed in the Sanshan Lake camps for one night.If we don’t make any noise today, the official army is likely to retreat from the Sanshan Lake defense line. Once they defend the front line of the county’s riverside, we cannot attack.Therefore, our army must lure the enemy into the search for opportunities and act as if they want to retake the defense line of Sanshan Lake. The army is displayed in the wilderness; Zhu Mian is fearless and will come to attack, delaying their retreat again.
So the large army of marching procrastinated until noon and prepared to chop wood and make lunch.Unexpectedly, the messenger soon arrived and ordered the entire army to immediately withdraw the camp and retreat to the Yangzhuang Lake defense line.
Everyone immediately reorganized the queue and transferred back to the direction and walked back along the main road. Now they walked very fast. In less than half an hour, they could see the Yangzhang Lake surface, and the scattered camp fortifications on the south bank were faintly looking at it.
People crossed the camps separately, and the defeated eleventh team where Wang Dazhu was located was asked to continue to march northwest, temporarily rectify the organization, and no new military orders were left.
A young man in the crowd kicked the stones that emerged from the soil. He looked very angry, as if the stone had offended him.
Then he found a big hole in his loose trouser legs, and bent down to check with distress, slapped the dust on his body with his hands.
