The Sun Never Sets Great China

In the Taihu Water Village, more than 2000 people worked hard to reinforce the wall. Stones, lake mud, wood and other materials are abundant here, and the reinforcement speed is naturally fast.

After capturing the water village, I have incorporated more than 300 young and middle-aged men from the original water village into two regiments, and divided the three companies in each regiment into nine companies, each with a hundred people. In the future, the recruited people will be incorporated into the company to expand the number of people.

I inspected the cannons in the water village, and the cannons were covered with a thick layer of rust.After asking the person in charge of the original village, I realized that there was neither a single shell nor a grain of gunpowder in the water village, and the cannon was just a decoration.

I inspected the weapons in the water village again. They were all rusty knives and guns. The good ones were only more than 100 bows and arrows made of bamboo and wood.

Just as I was inspecting the situation in the water village, military adviser Huang Ziya, first regiment commander Li Erdan, first regiment deputy commander Mo Xiao, second regiment leader Zhao Qijin, and second regiment deputy commander Li Gaoshun rushed over. Said to me: "Boss, more than 200 of us on the island were ransacked by water bandits. More than 40 people were killed, 71 people were injured, and 11 people were missing. Food, seeds and utensils were all robbed." Empty."

I was shocked when I heard this, and I was so angry that I wished I could kill all those water bandits who robbed us, and I just felt itchy in the root of my teeth.I said: "Bring them to the water village first. The military adviser and deputy commander Li have both studied medicine. Please take the trouble to heal the injured brothers. After we have strengthened the water village, we will take revenge." Huang Ziya said: "Don't worry, leader. Brother Gao Shun and I will definitely do our best. Most of the old ones are already frail and weak. It is estimated that few of them can be saved. The young ones are growing up and it is time to recover. Most of them will survive. Come down.” I said, “Use more wine and salt water to disinfect the wound, use sewing needles and thread to boil in boiling water and sew up the big wound, if the wound festers, squeeze out the pus, wash it with more wine, and save us from being rich. The good and rotten wine that was plundered from home will be used, and the lives of the brothers are at stake." Huang Ziya and Li Gaoshun heard my words, and only then did they realize that the leader has unheard of advanced medical skills.But Li Erdan, Mo Xiao, Zhao Qijin and dozens of brothers around them were deeply moved by my last two sentences after hearing my words. And the impulse to die no matter what, they all knelt down and shouted passionately: "I will go through fire and water for the leader, and I will die for the leader, and I will repay the compassion of the leader." I quickly got them up and said: "We are all brothers. We build our own power for nothing else, but for all of us to live a good life, so that the poor in the world have a way to live, well, when you do your work, right, let’s open a meeting at Juyi Hall tomorrow Yes, I want to say something, I’m done, let’s go.” Everyone retreated and dispersed, and the rest continued to lead me to inspect the place I was going.

The next day, all the big and small bosses gathered in the Juyi Hall of Shuizhai. I sat down in the hall and asked everyone to sit too. Huang Ziya also sat next to me.I said to everyone: "Everyone is here. The meaning of calling everyone here today is to establish our name, military flag, military song and discipline, and our development direction. We are all ordinary people, and we are all here. The imperial court and those corrupt officials and officials who persecuted us couldn’t survive, so we came here. Now we have survived, but many of our family members and relatives have died. I even suspect that the bandits who robbed and killed us were officers and soldiers dressed up Yes, then why did the officers and soldiers come to arrest us as soon as the bandits left?" At this time Huang Ziya said: "The leader is right, my family has a yellow jade wrench with yellow characters engraved on it that was stolen by the bandits. When I was outside the city, I saw a topaz finger wrench from my family on his hand, he was not very far away from me, I could see clearly that it was mine." Many people also said that their home was captured by bandits. The stolen treasure was found on the officers and soldiers.

I raised my hand, and soon no one spoke anymore.It seems that our discipline is still acceptable, but the people who surrendered to Shuizhai are very disciplined because they are afraid of me.

I said: "Officers and soldiers are our enemies, but there are high officials above them, and the emperor above them. If we want to live a better life, we must revolutionize the fate of the emperor system. Let us people be the masters of the country and abolish the emperor system. Establish a system where everyone is equal. In this way, if we succeed, we will be heroes, and if we die and fail, we will also be heroes who will be remembered through the ages. Are you willing to do this kind of business with me?" It turned out that the people in the water village became impassioned.

As soon as I raised my hand, everyone immediately shut up.I said: "We will be called the Revolutionary Army in the future. I have promulgated the three major disciplines and eight precautions for the revolutionary army, and everyone must obey them firmly. Our military flag uses the red flag, and revolution requires bloodshed, so we use the red flag dyed with our own blood as our flag. I wrote two military songs last night, one is "Flag Against the Wind" The first is "serving the country with loyalty."

I first sang the ending song of the TV series "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" that I watched when I was a child in my original world. After changing the lyrics, I sang the song "Flag Against the Wind": , Heroes in the world, we are the ones who keep the discipline, go up to the world for the people, an army with righteousness in mind, fight for the people, shed blood, oh, fight for life, rush forward with righteousness, for the sake of the people For the working people, oh, we go to kill the enemy, oh, we go to fight, and we charge forward with righteousness, for the sake of the working people, we walk the road of revolution, we carry the flag against the wind, for everyone is equal, The happiness and prosperity of the people is the road of revolution, and the flag is carried against the wind, for the sake of equality for everyone and the happiness and prosperity of the people." Everyone listened to me and couldn't help but sang along with me, and the more I sang, the more smoothly I The singing got louder and louder. After hearing this, the soldiers outside gathered around and started singing along.Then I sang "Loyalty to the Country": "The smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, and the sword is like frost. Thinking about the Yellow River, the water is vast, 20 years..." Everyone sang along.

It took half a year to strengthen the water village and build the Wengcheng. In the past six months, the two regiments took turns, one regiment was built and the other was dispatched to attack other water bandits or surrounding landlords and rich households. While we wiped out and annexed other water bandits, many Taihu Lake The bandits nearby all joined forces, and soon the number of residents in our water village increased to more than 3000, and the army more than tripled in size to more than 7000 people. It was organized into two regiments and a logistics company. Each regiment There are more than 300 people, divided into nine companies, each company has more than 300 people, divided into three platoons, each platoon has nine squads, each squad has more than a dozen people, and the logistics company has more than 400 people. Huang Ziya personally came to direct.

Most of the water bandits in Taihu Lake were wiped out or surrendered by me. Soon the spies scattered outside reported that the nearby government soldiers were frequently mobilized, and many soldiers were mobilized to Wuxi City. It seemed that they were likely to deal with our revolutionary army. I immediately stepped up Train your army and expedite your search for, recruit or eliminate other pirates.

In Suzhou City, Huang Degong’s nephew Huang Xiqing gathered food and took [-] soldiers from the Ming army to leave Suzhou City after being sent off by officials at all levels. Thinking about the situation where he became an official and became a noble after he wiped out the water bandits in Taihu Lake.

This time Huang Xiqing came to suppress the bandits under the order of Huang Degong. After several years of pleas from all the important ministers and generals, the Emperor Nanming finally prepared to start the Northern Expedition in the beginning of spring next year. Because the Taihu Revolutionary Army is growing stronger and stronger. It is too close to the main military food production and supply area of ​​the imperial court, threatening the food supply for the Northern Expedition in the future. This year, the Taihu Revolutionary Army must be wiped out, and the Nanjing admiral Zhao Zhilong, who escaped from death, played a book in front of the emperor and told the Nanming Emperor Wang Bao It was killed by the Taihu Revolutionary Army, and the emperor immediately issued an edict ordering Huang Degong to send a force to destroy the Taihu Revolutionary Army.

After the troops led by Huang Xiqing arrived in Wuxi City, they took over [-] soldiers ordered from Wuxi City, rested for a day, and marched towards Taihu Lake early the next morning.

All the big and small leaders of the revolutionary army gathered in the Juyi Hall in the water village of Taihu Lake. I reviewed the information I collected and saw that there were [-] musketeers and five cannons named "General Yingwu" in the army of the Ming Dynasty. , I circulated the information to everyone.I thought for a while and said, "Who of you knows the specific situation of the cannon named "General Yingwu?" Can our city walls withstand its bombardment?" Everyone shook their heads.

Huang Ziya said: "It must be bombed down after a few shots. The walls of Tongguan and Xi'an are so strong, and they are many times stronger and taller than our water villages. They were all blasted open by the artillery fire of the Manchu army. Our water villages are even worse. But we are surrounded by lakes, and their cannons need to be transported by boat, so we will cut through their gunboats and see how they deal with us."

After hearing this, I quickly said, "Yes, yes, if we cut through the musketeers' boats, the gunpowder will be useless when exposed to water, so we won't be afraid of their firearms."

After the 1000 leading troops of the Ming army arrived, they mobilized the surrounding ships, but only got a few small fishing boats, all of which had been taken away by the Taihu Lake Revolutionary Army.

After the large troops led by Huang Xiqing arrived, Huang Xiqing saw that there were no boats and could not cross the lake.They had no choice but to let the soldiers make rafts, and at the same time send people to Wuxi City to ask those officials to find craftsmen to build some simple floating boats that can carry cannons.

The shipbuilders hired by the government in Wuxi city hadn't built a simple floating boat capable of carrying cannons five days after their arrival. Huang Xiqing saw that the rafts were all ready, so he wanted to try to attack the Taihu Revolutionary Army first. If the Taihu Revolutionary Army can be wiped out under the circumstances, it will not be so troublesome.

Huang Xiqing left 1000 men to guard the cannon, gunpowder and shells, and he led [-] soldiers across the lake on rafts and boats.After driving for a while, the bottom of the boat full of Musketeers suddenly made a sound, and after only a few rings, a hole appeared. The soldiers immediately blocked the hole with cloth bags and the clothes they took off. The boat approached, and Huang Xiqing was also on the boat which was more stable than the raft. Seeing the water coming out from the bottom of the boat, he shouted: "Go down and clean up the opponent's water ghost."

The soldiers of the Ming army nearby who heard his words went into the water one after another. After entering the water, they were stabbed by water thorns. The knives and guns in their hands were really difficult to use in the water, so they were used by the water ghosts of the Taihu Revolutionary Army. The water-splitting thorns were stabbed to death one by one, and the surface of the lake turned red.

Although Huang Xiqing knew how to swim, his water skills were not good. He dared not go into the water in a lake full of enemies. Seeing that the boat was flooded more and more, he had to get on the supporting raft.

Suddenly many boats appeared around, a large amount of arrows rained down on the Ming army, and more Taihu Revolutionary Army soldiers swam over in the water.

The lake was boiling, all the boats of the Ming Army sank, and the rafts were all broken up by the water ghosts of the Taihu Revolutionary Army who cut the binding hemp ropes. Before Xi Qing could react, he was stabbed in the thigh and dragged away.

The boats of the Taihu Revolutionary Army immediately surrounded them, and when they saw the outcropping enemies, they killed or captured them with fishing nets, bows and arrows, and hooks.The battle ended quickly. I don't know how many Ming troops fled, but more than 800 people were captured.
