NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Taiping
What’s the big deal?
Naturally, it was a big event to kill the big family and coerce the rest of the people in the city.
The more people that are coerced, the more young talents are available!
It’s not that Zhou Shixiang didn’t want to do it right away, but he just recruited those victims today, and the young men even changed their uniforms. I’m afraid they don’t even know their names, and most of them are scared. Under such circumstances, let them What would they think about going to surround those big gentry they usually respected?
Moreover, copying big households is not the main purpose, and it is Zhou Shixiang’s ultimate purpose to completely overwhelm the people of the city. Those who have property have perseverance. As long as the people who are not affected by the disaster can support themselves, it will be difficult to let go of everything and take the whole family to join the army. Therefore, it is impossible to encourage them like the disaster victims who have nothing. . Confused, the only means is force persecution.
What Zhou Shixiang lacked the most was force. Even if he had hundreds of loyal soldiers under his command, he could definitely take away all the residents of Luoding with ease. Unfortunately, he didn’t, so he could only do it step by step.
The most important thing in these two days is to conduct preliminary training for the more than 300 young men and women, and properly arrange the old and weak women and children, so that these people can develop a sense of collective belonging in the shortest time, so as to defend the interests of this group.
After Zhou Shixiang shared his thoughts with everyone, everyone agreed, and now it is still necessary to hold the handle of the knife completely, otherwise, the task of copying the big households and coercing the remaining people will not be able to be done.
It’s not a hassle to train soldiers, whether it’s Boss Hu or Zhao Sihai, seven or eight of these men have worked in the army, so knowing how to train is nothing more than beating and scolding.
Zhou Shixiang was of course interested in the training methods of later generations, but the time was too urgent right now, and he only needed the young and strong to obey orders in two days, and did not expect them to go into battle immediately and kill the enemy, so he did not comment on how to train troops. Compared with the training methods of later generations, beating and scolding may be more efficient because the audience is different.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the old brothers were basically there, Song Xianggong felt that some things might as well be settled. No rules can make a circle. Since everyone has approved the establishment of a public treasury, then all the money and food will be kept in the public treasury, and then distributed by the public treasury to each team.
Zhou Shixiang added a few words. He said that not only the money and grain should be put into the public treasury, but also all the weapons, horses, and livestock captured in the future should be handed over to the public treasury. If you are punished, otherwise, how can you convince other brothers?
How to punish? Naturally, it is the military law, beheading!
The beheading was said by Boss Hu himself. He knew that only by maintaining the authority of the public treasury could he maintain his own authority. If these subordinates have good things and don’t hand them over, then his leader will not be able to continue.
In order to prevent micro and slow progress, set the rules in advance and implement them in the future, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced if you wait for something to happen and then set the rules.
Zhou Shixiang agreed with Boss Hu’s punishment opinion. The public treasury was proposed by him. He must absolutely defend the authority of the public treasury, whether it is public or private, otherwise, what should the public treasury do. Troubled times use heavy codes, and if you break the rules, you have to beheaded!
Everyone had no opinion on this. Zhou Shixiang made it clear to them that the things in the public library were actually owned by their old brothers, so how could they tolerate someone hiding things and not handing them over.
“Whoever dares to hide it, without waiting for the big brother to speak, I will cut off his head first!”
Ge Wu scolded fiercely, he is an authentic bandit, and several of these men present were his former subordinates. Hearing this, he naturally shuddered.
Everyone has no opinion, Song Xianggong said that the six families have sent 70 shi of grain to the yamen today, and the remaining 50 shi will be delivered before sunset tomorrow.
Boss Hu strikes while the iron is hot, and asks Duke Xiang of Song to take charge of the public treasury in the future, and all the money and grain will be put into the treasury from now on.
In this regard, Song Xianggong did his part, but he said that there must be someone under his command, otherwise, how to take care of it?
The public treasury is now where everyone’s belongings are. Of course, there must be trusted brothers to watch. When Boss Hu asked Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong who should lead the army to take care of the public treasury, Zhao Sihai recommended himself.
Zhao Sihai is a meticulous person, obviously more reassuring than Ge Wu and the others. Song Xianggong has no objection, and Zhou Shixiang has no objection. Now the boss of Hu has made a decision. In the future, this team of Zhao Sihai will be specially responsible for the public treasury.
Zhou Shixiang also asked Song Xianggong to be responsible for the placement of the elderly and weak women and children. After thinking about it, Song Xianggong nodded in agreement.
Everyone can.
The bald man suddenly asked, “What will we call Yingtou in the future?”
Camp head?
Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this was. Song Xianggong explained for him that the so-called camp head is the name of the soldiers and horses. Now there are many camp heads in the Ming army in Guangdong. Loyalty Camp, Naval Master Camp, etc., and the men and horses under the command of Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, are called “Yiyong Camp”. It will demoralize your own soldiers.
“That’s right, we are not the green forest heroes who fall into trouble now, we must have a serious camp leader, so that others can remember that we are officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, not a group of robbers and bandits.”
Boss Hu can’t forget that his current identity is Da Ming Luo Ding’s sergeant. As a state sergeant, he certainly hopes that his soldiers and horses will have a resounding battalion commander. In the future, if there is a real situation, he Hu Quanke will become famous.
Song Xianggong pondered for a moment, and said that since we were fighting against the Qing in Luoding, let’s call Luodingying, and once we heard it, we would understand where we are.
“No, absolutely not, what Luo Dingying doesn’t sound majestic at all!” Ge Wu shook his head violently, very dissatisfied with Song Xianggong’s camp head.
Song Xianggong rolled his eyes at him: “Then what’s your name?”
“What do you want me to say, the name of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com should not only be majestic, but also show the loyalty of our brothers!” Where does Ge Wu start a camp, but he put forward his own opinion, that is This camp leader must show loyalty!
“Yes, to show loyalty, our brothers carry their heads to do big things, don’t rely on loyalty!”
“Mr. Song will give everyone a good thought according to Brother Ge’s intention!”
Ge Wu’s opinion was unanimously supported by everyone.
“To show loyalty?”
Song Xianggong closed his eyes and pondered, and opened his eyes for a moment, he already had it, “Then call it Yihe Camp.”
“Yihe Camp?”
Zhou Shixiang, who had just picked up the bowl and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, heard these three words, and almost didn’t spray a sip of water on Song Xianggong’s face.
Zhou Shixiang’s reaction surprised Duke Xiang of Song: “What? Brother Zhou thinks this name is not good?”
“It’s not bad, it’s just…”
Zhou Shixiang held back the three words “Boxer” behind his head, and after thinking carefully, he said to the crowd, “I think so, we don’t have to be too majestic in this camp, if it is too majestic, people will hate it. Everyone thinks, when the Qing army hears that our camp head is so loud, can they come to us? So this camp head can’t be too loud. According to me, let’s call it Taiping Ying. People all over the world fight for peace, so, it doesn’t make people hate it, and the people can understand what we are doing.”
“Taiping Camp?” Boss Hu savoured the name carefully, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “Okay, good, Taiping is good, Taiping is good, let’s call it Taiping Camp in the future!”
