Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 146

Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, was born in the frontier army, and was also one of the earliest leaders of the uprising army. He responded to the call of the king of heaven, Wang Jiayin, and joined forces in northern Shaanxi. When attacking Yan'an Mansion, his Cao Ying was less than [-] miles away. After receiving Zhang Xianzhong's invitation to attack Yan'an Mansion together, he agreed wholeheartedly.

As a result, he had advanced less than ten miles during the war for more than ten days. He sent news every day that there were too many officers and troops, and he could not advance an inch in bloody battles. He went to the city at noon today, my good guy. After eating, this guy came over.

The Hui'er Army, who is always Huihui, boasted several hundred to support the officers and soldiers. When they attacked the city, they did fight with the Ming Army at the city gate for half an hour. Seeing Luo Rucai's beard swaying here and there under the city wall, both Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Shouying's expressions were ugly.

It seems that there are many contradictions within the peasant army, but they are not like Liangshan heroes who drink in big bowls and divide gold and silver on a large scale. More than half of the peasant army belonged to a few local Zhuangzi. I saw that Song Qingshu came to investigate with dozens of cavalry, and he wanted to snatch a guy. Later, when Zhang Xianzhong came with a thousand cavalry, he immediately became paralyzed and obediently became cannon fodder. Wan Peasant Army, Song Qingshu's face is also ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Qingshu finally made a helpless decision, pulling Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong by their sleeves and dragging them behind the city wall, muttering to himself.

"Master Hui, brother, Cao Cao is definitely not the only one who came here to divide the meat. Cao Cao is just the beginning. We can't be in chaos now. We must quickly divide up the things in the official warehouse. Let's do this! After all, my brother and I are out Dali, the things in the official storehouse are divided into three equally, my Eight Great Kings camp takes two of them, and the returning camp takes one of them."

This was a big concession, if it wasn't for the nervousness of Mrs. Cao, Zhang Xianzhong would not agree to anything, even now he is a little ugly, even if it is so, he is still a little dissatisfied.

Seeing that he opened his mouth to beg for more, Song Qingshu's face also became ugly, with a gloomy face, he cupped his fists again: "Master Hui! If you insist on an equal share, my elder brother and I have nothing to say. This You have a good idea of ​​what this battle will look like, after this time, we will break up, you go your way, we cross our single-plank bridge, and we will never contact again!"

The old man was dumbfounded again, Zhang Xianzhong was a man of loyalty, so he was at ease in joining forces with him, but he was really a bit alone, and besides, if Zhang Xianzhong went out to talk about his character, he would ruin his reputation. Unable to gain a foothold in the peasant army, after hesitating for a while, Lao Huihui finally nodded with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"In this way, give the Eight Great Kings a face."

"Humph!" Zhang Xianzhong didn't like to be good at getting cheap, he snorted coldly, shook his hands and walked away, which made Hui Hui look embarrassed, he was frozen there and didn't move or move, but luckily Song Qingshu gave it to him. He went down one step.

"Go back, please!"

He also snorted coldly, shook his hands, and Lao Huihui also turned around and hurried down the stairs.

Underneath, Cao Cao was still yelling, glanced at him coldly, and Song Qingshu waved his hands at Scarface angrily: "Look, this one just won't open the door! If he dares to hit him, he will hit him hard!"

"Don't worry!" Lying on the top of the city and looking down, Scarface showed a tough smile on his stern face full of scars.

…………

Dozens of warehouses in the government were opened again, and it became much more busy this time. Hundreds of peasant soldiers rushed in one by one, moving things as soon as they saw them. The stingy side of the peasant army made Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Hui Hui It was shown vividly and vividly, both of them were the peasant army who followed closely to carry them, and they refused to let it go in the slightest. Sometimes they could fight for a long time with a knife, so Song Qingshu had to urge behind him again.

"Brother! Master Hui! Time is running out!"

Facing the wolf-like peasant army companions to the east, the two gave up their quarrel, and with a good knife, the big ax was chopped in half.

Although there were a lot of things, they couldn't stand the crowd, so they didn't eat dinner, and it took until midnight, so they sorted out the things clearly, and the usual ones were transported away on horseback, while Zhang Xianzhong piled up a big pile in a corner of the warehouse.

As for the old Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong is very generous, his opponent's subordinate Zhang Xianzhong is generous enough, after collecting the things, he called a few of his generals to share.

Although Song Qingshu's silly battalion merged with Zhang Xianzhong, they are still independent after all, unlike Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, and Wang Shangli, who completely listened to Zhang Xianzhong's command. This time, Song Qingshu's strategy played a big role in taking down Yan'an Mansion. However, Zhang Xianzhong took extra care of Song Qingshu.

"Third brother, you will take back these five thousand dans of flour and [-] tans of rice in a while. You have a lot of people in your camp, but you don't have many guys. You should try your best to pick out the weapons in stock, so don't be polite to me!"

Facing a lot of things, Zhang Xianzhong said boldly.

Counting, there are quite a lot of people in Song Qingshu's camp. In addition to the more than 1000 people who can fight, there are almost 4000 old and weak people brought down from Funiu Mountain. Those who have families have added a lot of burdens. Although they were attacked by the officers and soldiers just after leaving the mountain, almost [-] old and weak died, but now adding the family members of the other battalions, there are still more than [-] people in the old battalion in Song Qingshu's hands. .

The general peasant army goes into battle, regardless of whether you are old or young, send a guy, or even hold a stone to fight with the official army. It is really not many to organize these useless family members together like Song Qingshu. The complaints were all covered up by Song Qingshu with a smile. At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong also hoped that Song Qingshu could pick out some more people from the old camp.

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Song Qingshu, who had been busy for half the night, immediately had his eyes lit up, and he shook his hand at a large pile of Ming army blunderbuss piled up in the corner with his eyes shining.

"Brother, then give all these firecrackers to my younger brother!"

Zhang Xianzhong almost didn't choke. There are a total of [-] bird guns. It is not very practical, and the use of firearms these days is extremely limited. It cannot be used when it rains. The firecracker is dirty and rusty and cannot be fired. The firearm is just a fire stick when you get close. It can be said that the most worthless weapon among a lot of weapons is the These firearms are gone.

"Third brother! It's not like you haven't seen the firecracker team fighting against the government today. When the cavalry rushed to the side, the firecrackers were fire sticks! These days, you are still going forward bravely in war. Let's do this! I'll give you [-] guns Zhi, you don’t want these anymore.”

The most widely equipped cold weapon in the Ming army was the long spear. Although the gun was not easy to use well, compared with the knife, this thing saves material. Second, if you don’t know how to use it, just stab it forward. Even if an old man tried his best to stab forward, if he was lucky, he would eventually kill a few. There were only more than 2000 guns in total. Zhang Xianzhong was taking care of Song Qingshu.

However, who knew that Song Qingshu was actually the bastard eating the weights this time. He was determined, and he smiled helplessly and cupped his fists. Song Qingshu said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, brother, I know it well, so give me these firecrackers." Just do it!"

"You!, Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I don't care, just don't cry to me when I was smashed by the officers and soldiers that day!" He really shook his head hating iron and steel, Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand helplessly, Song Qingshu immediately As if being pardoned, he laughed and waved to Little Carrot.

"move!"

This time, more than 100 soldiers were assigned to the Armored Silly Camp and the Old Camp, and all the equipment was given to the cavalry. Tens of thousands of peasant troops all entered the city. It was occupied, and he also guarded the city wall along the way. Now it is still under the Ming Dynasty. Who knows if tens of thousands of troops will come to surround him in the middle of the night.

The rice grains and flour received were distributed directly to the team. Each person had a big bag, and the rest of the old camp carried it on their backs. They hadn’t had a full meal for several days. He set up a big black pot, threw batter, rice grains, and wild vegetables and salt into it, and the cooked batter and vegetable porridge immediately filled the entire city wall. Even the Cao Ying peasant army who camped outside sniffed and gathered under the wall. Scolding the Eight Great Kings is not authentic.

Even if there is food, a hundred or so cavalry are excitedly fiddling with the iron armor and spears they just got. They are so excited that they don’t even care about eating. These are the scale armor specially prepared for the cavalry of the frontier army, with a layer of iron leaves shining on the outside , It is much more majestic than cotton armor, and the gun is also a cavalry gun. The ultra-long spear point made of fine steel emits a cold light even in the night.

Xing Hongniang directly put on two layers, a wallet inside and a layer of scales on the outside. This protection is at least for Song Qingshu to breathe a sigh of relief, but Xing Hongniang's petite and slender figure is completely covered and firm. , only the two breastplates on her chest were pushed up, and she was so happy that she also rode a horse and went straight in circles in the city.

It's just that compared to the excitement of the cavalry, Scarface, Liu Zongmin, Xiao Luobo, and Zhang Erlianzi were not so happy. Scarface was depressed and threw the firecracker he brought back to the ground, pointing at Song Qingshu He yelled out of anger.

"You're a fool, you are really stupid? What's the use of these scrap iron! When you really fight, the officers and soldiers will shoot you a few rounds and rush to the front. You just wait to be hacked!" "

"That's all right, my lord, when did I fight a battle I wasn't prepared for!" After complaining for a while, Song Qingshu rolled his eyes triumphantly, but soon after, he suddenly turned into a flattering face The smile was treacherous, similar to that of Eunuch Jiao who was in charge of the old camp's logistics, and his voice was like a weasel, with a long and wretched voice.

"Zong Min ~ my good brother!"

His hairs stood on end, Liu Zongmin hurriedly waved his hands to hide: "Don't look for me, I'm busy, I don't have time!"

It's rare that the head of the family made a fool of himself. Seeing Song Qingshu's resentful appearance, the big and small bosses all laughed along.

But at this juncture, the guards of the stupid battalion on the city wall suddenly whistled over and froze, Song Qingshu and Scarface hurriedly turned around and ran towards the city wall.

Outside the city, Luo Rucai's Cao Ying is still there, but at the back, at some point, there are a few more big banners. Against the fire of Cao Ying, they are like ghosts, showing their teeth and claws in the dense night.

"Heavenly King! King Chuang! Ge Liyan! Zijin Liang!"

After looking around, Song Qingshu couldn't help but gasped, this is going to be troublesome!
