Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 83
Because of Remnant's counter-offensive, the Hubei side was in a panic, three times a day.And the Governor's Mansion dispatched De'an Mansion's elite troops to defend the southern border, and Anlu's city defense capabilities were greatly reduced.Therefore, the magistrate called together the gentry and landlords, and each household transferred fifty family members.Thus, in just three days, there were three thousand coalition troops.

Things didn't go so smoothly at first, but it was the pressure of the security team that made these gentry and landlords unite unprecedentedly.No longer care about the gain or loss of a soldier or money, but fight against the security regiment, the life-and-death enemy together.

In fact, these gentry and landlords misunderstood the security team.Under the publicity of the Tartars in De'an Mansion, the security team became a band of thieves, marching all the way and looting all the way, taking away the treasure and dividing the land.This makes these landlords who rely on the land to cultivate and study their family heirlooms terrified. If they lose their land, they will have nothing, and the huge and prosperous family will be defeated in an instant.This fear filled their hearts and became the glue for everyone.Life and death are in front of the earth, and the past grievances and resentments between each other are suppressed, and they join hands to fight against the security regiment.

If Qiu Tianxing knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely explain it.Because the policy of the Security Corps is to deprive traitors of their property, not to deprive landlords of their property.The positioning of the traitors is to take the initiative to maintain the rule for the Tartars, and to take the initiative to pay food and taxes to the Tartars.

It's just that Qiu Tianxing's explanation is bound to make the landlords scoff.Under the rule of the Tartars, if you don’t support the Tartars and don’t pay the food and taxes to the Tartars, then I’m afraid the family will be wiped out. How can we talk about traitors or traitors?

Therefore, it is doomed that the security group is at odds with these landlords and gentry who rely on the Tartars.No matter how loud the slogan is, it cannot change its core interests.

When the Tartars entered the customs, these gentry and landlords who took refuge in the Tartars took advantage of the momentum to expand their family power. This was the first redistribution of interests.And Qiu Tianxing raised the banner of the security regiment, intending to use the strength of these gentry and landlords to expand the strength of the security regiment. This is the second distribution of benefits.

Stealing people's money is like killing their parents, but digging people's foundations is an even more sworn enemy!There is no possibility of a slight compromise between the two!Unless one side changes its position.

Therefore, driven by this emotion, the officers and soldiers of the Tartars spent their days lazily, while the coalition forces of the landlords were on the alert, their spirits rejuvenated.

Therefore, when Qiu Tianxing's army came to the city, the first thing they found was the coalition army of landlords.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The shrill shouts echoed above Anlu City, and the city gate that was originally wide open slowly closed.The panicked figures ran back and forth at the top of the city, and after being beheaded by the guards, they calmed down, but their hands and feet were still trembling.More soldiers rushed up from the city continuously.

After a while, Anlu entered a combat state.

It was almost dusk, the army rushed to the city, and the surprise attack failed.In fact, Qiu Tianxing did not pin all his hopes on stealing the city.Firstly, I didn't have enough cavalry to win the door quickly. Secondly, the two battalions were still in the running-in period, and they didn't have enough combat power. Head-to-head confrontation was not in the interests of the headquarters.

Therefore, Qiu Tianxing's plan is to surround the prefectural city, eat away at the countryside, and quickly recover his fighting power.

The setting sun at dusk made people panic, and the vicious enemy army approached, making the allied forces defending the city heartbroken.Those evil practices such as killing, criticizing, seizing land, reforming, etc. repeatedly promoted by the government did not make the coalition forces feel the same hatred, but they were extremely fearful, and everyone felt in danger.Human psychology is very complicated. The same person in different environments will seem to be a different person. A hero can become a bear, and a bear can become a hero.In many cases, heroes are actually forced out.

At this time, people who boost morale are needed.A young general with the appearance of a general raised his voice. In an era without loudspeakers, a loud voice was an essential quality for a general at the grassroots level.

The deafening sound really had a good effect. After the familiar voice appeared, the flustered military spirit stabilized.

"Don't be afraid! There are very few bandits in the regiment, and they are all remnants and defeated generals! The bandits' nest should be broken, and these bandits are homeless dogs! As long as we stand up, the imperial court will send heavy troops to come, and the bandits will be wiped out just around the corner!"

"We must stand up! Bandits want to rob me of money and food, occupy my land, plunder my compatriots, and fight against my relatives! Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

This general has a bit of literary talent, and he seems to have been educated, unlike those rough warriors who don't know a lot of characters.

Although many people don't understand the general's words, they still know the meaning. These bandits are here to kill and steal money!How can this work!Why do bandits want to kill and loot when they come.I promised myself, but the knife in my hand didn't agree!
As a result, the momentum recovered a little.

"Brother Shui is really powerful. As soon as this is done, the army's morale will be set. You really have the style of a general!"

Behind the general, a young man with a folding fan in his hand and a bare mouse tail on his head clapped his hands and sighed.

"Yes! Yes! Brother Shui is the best among the five elements of the Yang family! Brother Yang Shui, I admire you!"

Hearing everyone's flattery, Yang Shui didn't feel complacent, instead, he scanned the interjectors with stern eyes.

The Yang family is the landlord of Anlu. There are five brothers in the family. His father, who believes in the intergeneration of the five elements, gave the five brothers a single-character name, which is wood, fire, earth, gold, and water.Yang Shui is the youngest and the fifth in the family, so the name Shui fell on his head.Originally, the Chinese character name "Shui" was very good, and it paid attention to the artistic conception of containing and nourishing all things, but it is a pity that it is not good to match it with the surname Yang.Yang Shui and Yang Shui have the same pronunciation, and Yang Shui is the amniotic fluid from Qiu Tianxing's previous life.This made Yang Shui extremely embarrassed, and his father refused to agree to change his name several times.

It's strange to say that the five elements are born together, and the brothers of the Yang family are also more powerful than each other.Especially Yang Shui, who is the youngest, has both civil and military skills, and he was selected as a scholar at the age of weak crown.In addition to studying, he also likes the art of war, secretly practicing his own servants and tenants.Once bandits attacked, he also led more than a hundred famous families and tenants to drive away the bandits, and won the reputation of being good at fighting in ten miles and eight villages.Especially his naturally loud voice, which is said to be comparable to Chang Banpo's Zhang Yide, can drive away the existence of the three armies.In addition to his loud voice, Yang Shui is also good at martial arts. He claims to know all eighteen kinds of martial arts.

Because of these reasons, the coalition army of three thousand landlords was appointed by the government to be led by Yang Shui.This also dissatisfied many people who claimed to be young and handsome, and secretly ridiculed them.The two people who spoke before were not used to Yang Shui. They thought that the Yang family, a family of small landlords who were not well-known, wanted to command the coalition army of landlords, and they really overestimated themselves.So everything is ridiculed at Yang Shui.

"Enough! This is a time of war. Those who are not fighting should retreat quickly, otherwise they will all be sent to the army and put in front of the battle!"

After yelling, Yang Shui turned his gaze to the gathering enemy army, feeling very anxious.

"It's getting dark, will the bandits take advantage of the night to attack the city?"

"I heard that bandits are very good at night battles, and they like to steal cities the most!"

"The gangsters are full of fighting spirit, claiming that they would rather die than surrender. Can you stand it?"

Just when Yang Shui's mind was turning a thousand times, Qiu Tianxing gathered his troops unhurriedly, and slowly waited till dark.Since the attack on the city failed, the countryside was looted.

This night is destined to be a night of chaos, this night is destined to be a night of blood and fire.

The sun finally set.
