Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43 Great Development

Just a few days after Li Taiping teamed up with the bandits in Dafu Mountain to fight against Tartarism, Qiu Tianxing finally received the military information sent by Li Taiping.After learning about the recent situation of the Fourth Brigade, Qiu Tianxing heaved a long sigh of relief.A few days ago, Qiu Tianxing received a letter from Chen Chen, knowing that the First Brigade chose to take root in the countryside to carry out the peasant movement, and also defeated the enemies in Guangshan County.Qiu Tianxing was very satisfied with this.Now, the fourth brigade is also developing smoothly, and the last stone in Qiu Tianxing's heart has fallen.

"Congratulations, Commander! Today, our security regiment has become a major trend! Captain Chen Chen of the first brigade chose to take root in the countryside and launch peasant struggles. Captain Sun Zhi of the second brigade chose to capture the city and use the city Qian Liang’s line of mobilizing the anti-Tartar martyrs. Captain Li Taiping of the Fourth Battalion united with the bandits who have a national perception and resist the rule of the Tartars. Using the power of the bandits and our political leadership, there is a lot to do! My lord, now our security team will grow stronger!" Zhou Zhen, the deputy director of civil affairs, said to Qiu Tianxing with a smile.

Although Qiu Tianxing was also very happy in his heart, he didn't show it. This is not the time for blind optimism.If he takes the lead in optimism, then the people below will lose their sense of crisis. This is a matter of life and death for the weak regime of the Security Corps today!
"Yes, our current work is indeed carried out very smoothly, but this is based on the fact that the Tartars know nothing about us. In addition, the main force of the Tartars is to attack Nanming and consolidate the newly occupied territory, so we can take advantage of it. It unexpectedly obtained a series of victories. However, the reputation of our security team is gradually rising, and it will also attract the attention of the Tatars. In the future, the pressure on the Tatars will be even greater. The great cause of resisting Tatars is like sailing against the current , Forward, the wind is high and the waves are rough, with heavy resistance, and the retreat is even more densely covered with eddies, and the body will be smashed to pieces!" Qiu Tianxing said with emotion.

"What the leader said is that the subordinates have been taught." Zhou Zhen put away his smiling face and nodded heavily.

After waving his hand to let Zhou Zhen go out, Qiu Tianxing opened the window, looked up at the blue sky, and his thoughts drifted nine days away.

Qiu Tianxing thought bitterly, why didn't he read more books in his previous life, especially history books, otherwise it would be of great help in fighting the great cause of Tartarism!He only knew roughly from the film and television materials that there were many generals who surrendered to the Tartars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but he didn't know who they were and when they rebelled.Moreover, the film and television materials may be exaggerated and fictional, and they cannot be used as a reference at all.

Just because he doesn't have any prophetic ability at all, Qiu Tianxing can only honestly carry out the cruel three-fight plan-fighting for human life, fighting for money and food, and fighting spirit.Human lives come from tens of millions of unyielding Han people; money and food come from the local tyrants and evil gentry who surrendered to the Tartars; the fighting spirit depends on the continuous brainwashing of the preachers of the security corps.

After standing for a while, Qiu Tianxing sighed, the first step in the Long March!After sighing with emotion, Qiu Tianxing went back to the desk and sat down, continuing to review the documents.Most of these documents are about expanding the number and responsibilities of village committees and neighborhood committees, as well as recruiting veterans from security regiments to enter military schools for education.

Time passed quickly, and it was March in the 19th year of Chongzhen (1646), and people in Laohugou devoted themselves to spring plowing.Everyone is sweating profusely and working energetically.The heavy snow during the Chinese New Year made everyone full of longing for this year, and they all believed that there would be a good harvest this year.As for the Tatars entrenched in the county town tens of miles away, everyone selectively ignored them.Today, the security regiment is strong, with nearly ten thousand soldiers, do you still care about the few hundred Tartars?It is estimated that if the security team does not beat them, they will feel lucky to pray to God and worship Buddha!
Under the wings of the security group, everyone felt very safe, so they supported the security group even more.

At this time, on the one hand, the Tazi court sent Hauge and Wu Sangui to attack Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and on the other hand, they attacked the Longwu regime and marched into Zhejiang and Fujian.With troops on these two fronts, the attention to the security regiment was naturally reduced.Therefore, the security team was very lucky to usher in a short period of peace.

Of course, not paying too much attention does not mean not paying attention. The security team and the Tartars are still fighting in a small area.Because they captured Xinyang City, the Tartars still sent troops to encircle and suppress Sun Zhi, but they were all Green Battalion soldiers adapted from the surrender of the former Ming army, and most of them were defenders, and their combat power was not strong.So, the two sides fought around Xinyang City for more than a month. Seeing that the bones were hard, the green battalion soldiers did not dare to bite their yellow dies hard, so most of the time they fought on and off.And because of the good development of the Peasant Movement, Chen Chen has now reached Luoshan and Xixian counties.In this way, naturally, he fought fiercely with the Tazi officials in Luoshan and Xixian counties several times. Although there were victories and losses, they were firmly rooted in the two counties.As for Li Taiping, he is still uniting with the bandits, and now more than half of the Fourth Brigade are bandits who surrendered and returned to justice.He is having a headache how to transform these unorganized and undisciplined bandits into fighters with high morale, politics and faith.Of course, not only did he have a headache, but Qiu Tianxing, the head of the security team, had even more headaches.Today, in Tongbai County, Li Taiping is still confronting the Tartars. As long as Li Taiping does not attack the county, the Tartar magistrate will turn a blind eye and ignore them.

In this way, the security team worked hard to develop in the short period of peace.We must pay close attention to farming, which is related to this year's life-saving food.Army training must be paid close attention to, the Tartars will not always let the security regiment roll in the heart of the Central Plains.Batches of supplies were secretly transported back from the Tartar-occupied areas with real gold and silver; batches of recruits received training in the new barracks; After shaving their hair and becoming more obedient, the young talents who went to the security regiment went to the positions of preachers after receiving a short political and ideological training, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Propaganda Department and accelerated the progress of the night school training.

At this time, tens of thousands of people in the entire security regiment worked together to develop internal affairs and military affairs.Everyone was told that in the not-too-distant future, after Zhang Xianzhong and Emperor Longwu were wiped out, the Tartar army returned to the army, and the security team would be faced with a life-and-death test!

fight!Win a chance!
This is a slogan that Qiu Tianxing said to everyone!
