Horse on the World

Chapter 475

Shenzhou has now become a paradise for the strong and a tomb for the weak. In this land that has been ravaged by the flames of war over and over again, Lu Fengchun, who still has an army of nearly [-], is undoubtedly the boss. The Zeng family in the middle, although the Zeng family has formed a strategic advantage, they are somewhat weak in succession, unable to form a fatal blow to Lu Fengchun in Shenzhou, and can only maintain a stalemate. Li Qing of Dingzhou has his own plan. When he thinks the time is right, Dingzhou soldiers will definitely not invest in Shenzhou on a large scale for land battles.As for the Dingzhou Navy, which crossed the Tuojiang River, no matter what Zeng asked for, he just replied lightly that there were not enough troops to take the risk of going ashore. Apart from vigorously expanding the controllable area of ​​​​the Navy along the Tuojiang River, there was no way at all. In-depth planning, occasionally the Marine Corps goes deep once, and is also proficient in making soy sauce, aiming at the target, grabbing it and running away.

Originally, the official system of the Zeng family in Shenzhou had been beaten into chaos by Lu Fengchun, who died and escaped. When Lu Fengchun just started to rebuild the management organization in Shenzhou, the battlefield situation changed drastically. Under such circumstances, Lu Fengchun naturally has no intention to appoint officials to manage the people. Now Shenzhou is basically under the control of the army, and the soldiers manage it. In this place, the situation can be imagined, these soldiers who have a bad future in any way follow a simple management rule, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

Let me know in the morning, prepare ten carts of food for me in the evening, and come to pull it in the evening, if there is none or not enough, one word, kill!You killed a lot, but you didn't kill the local people in fear and pain. Instead, you killed the docile lamb into a lion. Since the left and right are dead, I will fuck you!
So when the Northern Army just entered Shenzhou, Shang could still calmly accept that the common people who had changed their ruler rose up, wielding hoes and forks, and began to fight against the heavily armed Northern Army, and suffered a few small losses. The northern army immediately launched a large-scale retaliatory action. The people who had no formal training and no weapons were naturally defeated. Going underground, or escaping into the mountains, or being honest and quiet on the surface, but secretly accumulating strength, looking forward to the next eruption.

It was at this time that the thirty nails that Zheng Zhiyuan planted on his flagship in Tuojiang entered the border of Shenzhou. Their arrival immediately set off a new round of resistance in Shenzhou.With the leadership of these formally trained officers, the resistance of the rebels began to look decent, and the scale became larger and larger.

Realizing that the situation was already in dire straits, Lu Fengchun reined in the precipice, and vigorously suppressed the large-scale rebel army. At the same time, he began to implement a soft policy in the ruling area to appease the people. After several months of suppression and appeasement, he finally stabilized the situation, but suffered again The rebels who attacked did not die down, and those who survived formed four or five larger forces in Shenzhou through absorption and annexation, which made Lu Fengchun feel helpless.

The previous two resistance and suppression had cost him thousands of soldiers, but in the current situation, he was no longer willing to lose precious troops for these people, since these rebels did not have the ability to attack him on a large scale, but only Huddled in some remote areas, dying, he let it go.

Xiaowangzhuang is such a place. Xiaowangzhuang is located in a remote place, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. A small river meanders in front of the village. In the dry season, the water can only reach the knees, but in the flood season, it is so cold. The water potential is huge, and the back of the village is the Cangshan Mountain, which stretches for tens of miles. The terrain is very conducive to the actual situation of the rebels. After waves of rebellion, several rebels chose this place by coincidence. After some integration , Formed a rebel army of up to 3000 people. Xiaowangzhuang originally only had dozens of families, but now it has the size of a small town.

Usually these rebels farmed outside Xiaowangzhuang or went hunting in the mountains, and occasionally went out to make a vote when they had the opportunity, mainly to rob the logistical supplies of the troops stationed near the Northern Army, or the food and grass they collected.

It's not that the Northern Army never thought about destroying this rebel army, but after many attacks, these people who stayed in Xiaowangzhuang escaped into Cangshan Mountain in no time. The Northern Army who chased into Cangshan Mountain for the first time suffered a big loss. The rebel army is like a fish returning to the sea, like a tiger entering the forest, advancing in separate groups, harassing day and night, the northern army had to withdraw from Cangshan after losing hundreds of people. Withdraw the garrison here a hundred miles away. After all, stationing too many troops in this remote place does not conform to his own reality.Now Xiaowangzhuang Yijun controls the area of ​​Fangyuan for hundreds of miles, collects certain taxes from the people here, and provides them with protection.

And the leader of this rebel army is none other than a lieutenant named Guo Quan of the Marine Corps.Of the [-] marines that sneaked into Shenzhou, there are now less than ten left, and the rest have died in battle, and Guo Quan's team has gathered five people.And these five people are now firmly in control of this army.

After gaining a firm foothold, Guo Quan began to train his subordinates. For others, it is not an easy task to turn some farmers into soldiers, but for these Marine Corps officers from Dingzhou, it is a piece of cake. , Dingzhou has a whole set of training materials, as military officers in Dingzhou, they have all come out of it step by step, now, they only need to fry the rice once,
After training and elimination, the rebel army of more than 3000 people was reorganized into 2000 people, divided into four wings, 500 people in each wing, commanded by Guo Quan's other four companions, and Guo Quan became the Fengli Battalion, which he called Fengli Battalion. The battalion commander and the entire establishment are almost all in accordance with the Dingzhou military system.

It is not difficult for them to turn farmers into warriors, but weapons and armor make them scratch their heads. Although they have won some battles and seized some weapons, for this army, quite a few people are still carrying jackhammers. Hoes and iron brazing, although there are blacksmiths, but there is not enough pig iron to make weapons. As for clothing, let alone, a few days ago, some soldiers wore clothes that even showed their buttocks.

After entering June, this problem has finally been greatly improved. After more than ten consecutive days of rain, the shallow river suddenly swelled, and the Dingzhou Navy, who seized this opportunity, sent two thousand-material warships , quietly followed this tributary to Xiaowangzhuang. After leaving behind thousands of swords and spears and armor, they returned to the Tuojiang River before the water receded. In one night, Fengliying changed their guns and guns. Not only was everyone equipped with a sword, A spear, and half of them even put on iron armor.

When Zheng Zhiyuan supported Guo Quan again, he kept an eye on it. What he sent to Guo Quan was not the standard equipment of Dingzhou, but a variety of equipment, including Zeng's standard weapons, and Northern Army weapons and armor captured from the battlefield. , also included a small amount of Dingzhou ordnance. In short, if you look at it purely from the perspective of weapons, this army is out and out a local peasant army.

When Zheng Zhiyuan did this, he naturally refused to give Zeng any excuses, and the agents of the Statistics and Investigation Department even compiled a flawless resume for Guo Quan and the other four team members. Transformed into an out-and-out Shen
People in the state rose up to resist because they could not bear the oppression of the Northern Army. Of course, these original family and social relations have been completely dead in the previous resistance movements.Guo Quan, who got this material, even suspected that some of these people might have been killed by the agents of the investigation department themselves, of course to keep their secrets.

Xiaowangzhuang did not build defensive facilities such as forts, but only set up some checkpoints in the controlled area. The only dozen or so horses in the entire Fengli camp were all equipped with these checkpoints, so that they could report back quickly after they found out the news. For Xiaowangzhuang, if there are few enemies coming, or if there is something to grab, then all of them will be dispatched to grab his mother. If the enemy is large-scale, the entire Xiaowangzhuang rebel army will immediately grease the soles of their feet and sneak into Cangshan Mountain .With such a favorable terrain, Guo Quan is of course too lazy to spend time and effort building defensive facilities. What's more, he doesn't have much sense of belonging to Xiaowangzhuang. Even if Xiaowangzhuang is beaten by the enemy, it is not a big deal to him. It is to keep the thousands of soldiers in his hands and play an important role when the commander needs them. After all, his roots are in Dingzhou. One day, he will lead the Fengli Battalion to join the battle sequence of the Dingzhou Army.

"General Guo, is what you said true?" Under the shade of the tree, Guo Quan sat cross-legged under a big tree with twisted roots. Soldiers leaving camp.Now it was the red sun, and after eating, everyone gathered under the tree and listened to their leader Guo Quan bragging.

"Of course it's true!" Guo Quan patted his chest and said, "I've heard that in Dingzhou, everyone can get a piece of land. If there are four or five people in a family, they can get a good piece of land. Dozens of acres of land! Tsk tsk, these days are very nourishing!"

"General Guo, each household is allocated so much land, how can there be so much land to divide? Like ours, Jiang Yuanwai's family has thousands of acres of land, and the others combined are not as much as his."

Guo Quan sneered and said, "You say you don't know much, but you still don't admit it, do you know Marshal Li in Dingzhou?"

"I know that!" the man said honestly.

"This Marshal Li is the star of Wuqu. He led the Dingzhou Army to defeat the prairie barbarians. Do you know how big the prairie is? I don't know. Let me tell you, there are at least a dozen Shenzhous as big as Shenzhou. Marshal Li has surrounded all these barbarians in Dingzhou Zhou, you said that the grassland is so big, and once it is set on fire, it will be the best fertile land, and there is so much land that it is impossible to divide it all up!"

There was a lot of envy around them, and even the sound of swallowing saliva. These people were originally farmers, and land was their lifeblood, and owning land was the dream of their ancestors for generations.

"It would be great if we could go to Dingzhou too. I heard that there are refugees there. As long as we go, the land will be divided!" Others began to chime in.

"Damn!" Guo Quan spat, "You really have no future, no ideals, you don't know Dingzhou's preferential treatment for soldiers, the refugees have gone, and the fields are distributed for free, but the seeds, cattle, etc. are still there. If you want money, you can just pay it back in installments, but if you are a soldier in Dingzhou, it is free, and ah, the soldier's salary is scary, I heard that a soldier can support a family with only his salary .It is much more than our military officers in Shenzhou. Think about it, how much income will you have in that year? Wife and children are hot on the kiln, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it!"

"It's a pity, we are not Dingzhou soldiers. Even if we defeat those bandits in the north in the future, the old officials and gentlemen will still come back!" Someone in the crowd lamented.

Such dramas are played out every day in Xiaowangzhuang. Guo Quan's plan is to subtly influence these soldiers through Dingzhou's good welfare policy, so that they will have a good impression of Dingzhou, dream of naturalization, and long-term influence until it comes to fruition. In this way, when these people need to start rebelling against Zeng's rule one day, they will not feel repelled.
