MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1169 The thief scholar raises troops to force the palace
"...I am a dignified man, what is the Tartars as horses and cattle. The warriors who read books at zero o'clock drank the wine in their bowls, and traveled thousands of miles without turning back. The golden drums are roaring in unison, and the oath not to break the yellow dragon will never end!"
In the resounding singing, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Second Brigade of the Second Taiping Army were stationed in Rugao County, Yangzhou Prefecture.
It was not yet bright, and many people around the station were still asleep. The loud singing suddenly sounded a lot of people, and they pushed open the door and came to both sides of the road.
"Taipei Lang, where are you going?" a commoner asked loudly while rubbing his still confused eyes.
The local people are not afraid of this Taiping army that has been stationed for several months, but are very close. Because since the Taiping Army was stationed here, not only has the security improved, but also the lonely and widowed elderly people in the village are often taken care of by them. Carrying firewood and water is commonplace. When the farming is busy, the Taiping Army also organizes people to help them cultivate.
Elderly people say that they have never seen such a good army, such a good soldier in their life. People with good deeds call the officers and men of the Taiping Army "Taiping Lang". The soldiers of the Taiping Army also wanted the people to call them "Taiping Lang", because this is a good sign and it is their mission. They exist to make the world peaceful.
Because of the military order, the Taiping Langs who went south did not dare to tell the people who asked where they were going, and they themselves did not know. There are only two people in the entire team who know the destination of the march, one is their brigade school, and the other is the An Jun ambassador of Scholar Bai Jing.
"Folks, we're going to practice."
Seeing that there were more and more people on the road, the chief officer Cheng of the brigade school asked them where they were going, so he ordered them to go down, saying that they would go to long-distance training. The word "la Lian" is understood by the people near the station, because I have seen many Taipinglangs go out for a few days with their luggage on their backs before coming back.
Qian Wen, the An Jun ambassador, was white and clean, and he didn't look like an officer at all, very much like a scholar. In fact, Qian Wen is indeed a scholar, and he is also the chief of their county. If it weren't for the Qing army, perhaps he would already be a great man now.
It was not Qian Wen's original intention to become a Taiping army. Like many people in this army, he was forced to join the Taiping army at the beginning. At the time, he was very resistant and hated this Taiping bandit who, like the rogues, brought in his family and children, but now, he is proud of being a member of the Taiping Army.
Different from the misinformation from the outside world that the Taiping Army did not pay attention to scholars, the Taiping Army actually attached great importance to and was willing to absorb scholars. As a scholar, Qian Wen and the few scholars in the army were retrained by Zhou Shixiang, the commander of the Taiping Army, and promoted them to important positions in the army step by step, becoming middle and senior generals.
Qian Wen was very impressed with a sentence that the commander said in the training class. It can be said that he was imprinted in his heart. The general idea of this sentence is that the Taiping Army attaches great importance to scholars, because scholars master the power of words. But in the past, this power was not owned by ordinary people, so the greater the power, the more the people would not benefit from it. Now what the Taiping Army has to do is to give this power to everyone in the world, so that everyone can master the power of writing. The strength of the body cannot be considered strong, only the strength of the mind and the body is the real strength. As long as the thinking is right, the more knowledge the better.
Seeing that the people on the side of the road supported the Taiping Army so much, even some people were a little reluctant to hear that the Taiping Army was going to leave the station for a period of time. Qian Wen was quite moved. "Have you seen it, this is what the commander said about the situation between the army and the people."
"I am a soldier, from the common people. We treat the common people well, and the common people will naturally treat us well."
Cheng Da Zuo laughed. He was nicknamed "Cheng San Manzi". He said that no matter what he encountered in the past, he used fists and big swords to solve it. He never reasoned with others, because he could not talk about others. But since he became a team with Qian Wen, the nickname of these three barbarians is not true, because this Qian An is really patient, and with his help, he can even know about 300 words. This is something I never imagined before.
However, this is still a long way from the requirements for participating in the general officer class of the Army University. The minimum requirement for further studies at Lu Da is to know a thousand characters, so Zuo Cheng thought that he could not relax. In a few hours, I asked Qian An to teach me that after the Northern Expedition was successful, I would be able to read a thousand words, so that I could go to Lu Da and be promoted to a higher-ranking general in the future.
"I don't know which one of us and Hu Jiu will come first. This time we can't lose again."
When he thought of Hu Jiu, the school of Brigade A, Cheng Cheng was unconvinced. Before that, the army and the town organized three big competitions. As a result, Brigade B lost to Brigade A. He took him to drink and said he wanted to celebrate, and his face turned green with anger. This time, the two groups received military orders to march towards Haimen at the same time, and no matter what, they could no longer lose to Hu Jiu~www.novelbuddy.com~ Otherwise, Brigade B would really be eaten to death.
"I heard that Brigade C's brigade school candidates haven't been decided yet. It's about to be allocated. There's still no one selected by the military, right?"
Qian Wen wondered who the military would send to take over the position of the Brigade C's school. This matter had a lot to do with it, because if the newly arrived Brigade C couldn't, it would be troublesome for them to cooperate on the battlefield.
"Hu Jiu has inquired about it, and the town said that Lu Da came down. What's the matter, let's just do our own thing. Let's go, we only have three days. If we can't reach the place in three days, you and I will lead the army. Small things, delaying the great cause of the Northern Expedition, will be unforgivable even if you die."
Cheng Da Zuo flicked his whip, the mount neighed and galloped out.
Qian Wen looked back at the barracks he had built with a lot of hard work, at the barracks that had been repainted with lime, and at the military flag lowered from the camp.
Yangzhou, Rugao, Guazhou, Taizhou, Haian, Gaoyou...
More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the New Second Army marched forward along various roads, big and small, without turning back.
Their goal is only one - the sea.
So many Taiping troops were deployed at the same time in Jiangbei, which naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested. When this information finally gathered in the hands of the Qing army in Xuzhou, they noticed that these Taiping troops were all heading south. Combined with the news of the stalemate between the monarchs and ministers of the Dingwu court in the southern capital, the Qing army came to an astonishing and encouraging conclusion, that It was the thief and the show who raised their troops to force the palace.

I don't know why, today there are more than 0 book friends who rewarded bones with one yuan, I am really grateful, but there are too many people to list them one by one.
In addition, I recommend "The Emperor's Relatives at the End of the Han Dynasty". This book is on the shelves today. I approve of the author's writing style. If you like the Three Kingdoms, you may wish to take a look. The author is also a staunch Han-based author.
