Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 113 Meeting Teachers ([-])

This 2-strong army was led by Chen Chen, the commander of the first battalion.During this period of time, the development of the first battalion has also been very smooth. With the help of Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and Li Chengdong, Chen Chen took down Xixian County, Gushi, and Shangcheng in one go. The three counties controlled the entire territory of Guangzhou, and began to infiltrate Yingzhou Prefecture and Liu'an Prefecture in Anhui.

Although the territory of the first battalion has expanded, but because the security regiment's house raid policy makes it impossible for them to compromise with the landlord class, the two are bound to fight to the death.Of course, there is no solution.The security corps did not raid the houses of all the landlords, but only the houses of traitor landlords who paid food and taxes for the Tartars.Therefore, as long as they have not paid taxes to the Tartars or are willing to join the security corps with all their wealth anyway to create a great cause of resisting the Tartars, the security corps will not ransack their homes.

It's just that this is unacceptable to those landlords and gentry.They were under the rule of the Tartars, and the knives of the Tartars were on their necks. If they did not pay the food and tax to the Tartars, the whole family would be wiped out.Therefore, no matter whether they pay taxes actively or passively, they are all traitorous landlords in the eyes of the security group. Even though some of them have helped some green forest heroes who resisted the Tartars, the security group would not recognize them all.But if they were asked to hand over all their wealth to join the security team, they would be even more unwilling.Why should the security group say that they would destroy a century-old foundation and give away their savings for a hundred years, and the Tartars are not so overbearing!And the security team is too greedy, not only want money, but also people, wanting them, well-clothed and well-fed people, to carry guns with those lowly people to kill the Tartars.Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, so these landlords and gentry completely broke with the security team.

Hundreds of years of foundation and hundreds of years of rule have made them, the landlords and gentry, very powerful in the countryside.Even though the security corps nominally controlled Gwangju, village committees and peasant associations were destroyed from time to time, and relevant responsible persons were brutally killed.This kind of phenomenon has a very bad impact. It will discourage many people's positive spirit, and in the end, many people are unwilling to join village committees, peasant associations and other related organizations.Although the first battalion has 5 troops, firstly, it has to infiltrate Anhui, secondly, the northern defense line must maintain enough troops to confront each other, and thirdly, every county has to deploy heavy troops to suppress it.Of course, the most important point is that the first battalion's combat strength is not strong, and it is filled with too many recruits, so it can only rely on the deterrence of numbers.

Fortunately, not all the landlords and gentry were in opposition, and some wholeheartedly supported the security regiment.Of course, some of these people really hated the Tartars and wanted to fight the Tartars to the death, but most of them were bullish on the power of the Security Corps.The world is in chaos, all heroes are rising together, and it is not yet known who will win the deer.Remnant Ming's strike gave these ambitious people hope.They don't want to work in the fields all their lives, and the imperial examinations are too slow after all, and their achievements are not high, which is far less than that of a dragon.What's more, I want to accept this force from the bottom of my heart, join it, slowly rise to the top, and finally do Sima's business.For oneself and for the prosperity and wealth of future generations, it is worth taking some risks.If a husband does not eat five tripods during life, he will cook ears with five tripods when he dies!
These ambitious landlords joined the First Battalion. Although they brought a new force to the First Battalion and made great contributions to local stability, they also mixed with the security team and made the First Battalion mottled and impure. .

The last time Qiu Tianxing was trapped by Sun Zhi, Chen Chen was going to raise troops to serve the king, but he was blocked by these people, and the matter of serving the king ended in a hurry.At that time, their strength was still weak, but now that this year has passed, their strength has grown stronger.Driven by them and shaken by Remnant, more fellow villagers, classmates, Tongnian, etc. joined the First Battalion.Because some of them are capable of literature and some of them are capable of martial arts, the room for promotion is far greater than those mud-legged people.Even squeezed out some veterans of the first battalion when they were in Laohugou.

Although Chen Chen has been imitating Qiu Tianxing, although Qiu Tianxing said that he must be self-reliant and cultivate talents by himself.However, Chen Chen felt that the recruiting was not fast enough. In addition, Ma Shunfu, the instructor, used to be a private school teacher. Now that he is well-off, some former classmates from the same age came to join him, and gradually became the core figures in the landlord and gentry group anyway. , by the time Chen Chen wanted to control it, it was too late.These people already accounted for half of the first battalion.

In the first battalion, these landlords and gentry were called the white faction, and the corresponding old people born in Laohugou were called the red faction.Although the two have not yet fought to the death, their relationship is by no means harmonious.

Knowing that the regiment headquarters was about to be attacked by the Tartars again, the red faction in the first battalion were furious, clamoring to rescue the regiment headquarters and the regiment leader.However, the Bai faction believed that the Tartars were powerful, so they should avoid their edge and build high walls and accumulate food to slow down their claim to the king.The two argued a lot, and almost drew their swords at each other.

Bai Pai's actions made Chen Chen furious.The first battalion is still the first battalion of the headquarters, not the battalion of these former traitorous landlords and gentry!The regiment headquarters is in trouble, the regiment leader is in trouble, how can we not help?
After some disputes and confrontations, the Red faction won the victory. In the words of the Red faction, it was a shame. Today, if the regiment is destroyed, if the first battalion is besieged in the future, who will come to help?If there is no regiment headquarters, there is no such sentence as helping the brothers for the sake of the regiment headquarters.The first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion will also fall apart and be wiped out by the Tartars one by one.

Most of these white factions are well-read poems and books, so they naturally understand this truth.In the end, 2 people were mobilized to rescue Anlu City.After all, the mountains and plains are uneven, and the lurking enemies are ready to destroy everywhere, and soldiers are still needed to intimidate them. Twenty thousand is a lot, and no more will do.

Chen Chen proposed to lead his own troops to the rescue, and this time the Bai faction agreed without hindrance.Of course, the White faction didn't want to take advantage of Chen Chen's troops to take down all the Red factions in Gwangju.After all, whether it is the white faction or the red faction, we are all on the same boat. Now that the territory is still small and the enemy is still powerful, it is far from the time to grab the fruits of victory. If the red faction is excluded, the white faction composed of landlords and gentry will be isolated and helpless Once gone.

Although the 2 horses brought this time were not the strongest in the first battalion, they were the best equipped.Everyone has a weapon, a cotton coat, and even two pairs of cloth shoes!In order to rescue the regiment headquarters, the First Battalion spent a lot of money.The spears were like a forest, endless, and the team stretched back and forth into a length of more than ten miles.There are probing horses at the front and back, and there are even hundreds of musketeers and eight tigers squatting in the middle!
When the army arrived near Xinyang, a scout came to report that a large army was stationed thirty miles ahead, and the flag was the Second Battalion of the Security Regiment!
