Chapter eighty-seven: trouble (2)
He spent a day talking, but was dismissed as a beggar...
Li Rushan chuckled: "Good destiny, the men's food will be reduced tomorrow morning!"
His eyes flashed...
The country has settled, and this mutiny cannot be played anymore...
However, this does not mean that he has no means to ask for salary.
One hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed a huge price, but paying the money on the spot is not as insulting as five thousand taels!
...
Dapogang is more than ten miles away.
This place is not a mountainous area, but a undulating high hill.
Because Yuzhou is between two major mountain ranges, these Gaogangs do not have a unified orientation, which is different from Dengzhou, the westernmost part of Nanyang.
On the other side of Dengzhou, at the junction of Hubei, Gaogang is a lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral lateral
Zhu Cijiong led his men to hurriedly set up defense lines in this area of Dapogang, leaning against the official road, and preparing to ambush Zhongzheng Camp of General Li Gan of Yuzhou.
But I knew that until the next day, the Qing soldiers were still not seeing the camp.
"Your Highness, something is wrong!"
Yang Qilong held a monocular lens in his hand, climbed up the big tree on one side, and looked carefully several times.
In order not to be detected by the other spies, the rebels did not dare to push them too close last night. Their positions were still ten miles away from the Qing camp.
At such a long distance, even though the sky is very beautiful, I can only see the camps established by the Qing army.
Even if you use a monocular, you can't see clearly.
Yang Qilong looked carefully and then, but the camera was blurry, so he could only look at a rough approximation in a hazy way.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhu Cijiong's face was not moved, but in fact he was already anxious...
Could it be that the Qing soldiers were planning to question the soldiers?
If they dragged themselves with their camps and then urgently transferred the army of Kaifeng Prefecture, Ruzhou Prefecture, and Runing Prefecture to aid Nanyang Prefecture, then he had not yet seized the important land in the border area, but he had to turn to Yunyang!
This is a dead end where the more you fight, the weaker you become!
"I can't see clearly."
Yang Qilong rubbed his eyes, lifted up his sleeves, and carefully wiped the lenses of the telescope.
However, no matter how he operates, he can't see it clearly:
"Your Highness, you don't see it very clearly. It seems that there are soldiers making trouble at the gate of Qingying..."
Yang Qilong was a little afraid to confirm, after all, the two sides were too far apart.
"Jiao San!"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice:
"Bring the good men in the army and find out for me!"
"Yes!" Jiao San turned around and was about to leave, but was called by Zhu Cijiong again.
"You change into the clothes of the people, remember, don't alarm the Qing soldiers!"
Zhu Cijiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was a little confused about the movements of the Qing soldiers...
...
Zhang Ruotai stood on one side with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he did not agree with the actions of the master.
The disaster in Huguang is now a foregone conclusion. In such a huge Huguang Road, there are more than a dozen prefectures that have suffered disasters!
Even Yunyang suffered a drought...
Not to mention that Yunyang is located upstream of the Han River, there are even rivers in the territory!
It’s a pity that he has a low status and cannot offer advice to the head of the family…
Zhang Ruotai quietly glanced at Zhu Cijiong. If he could take over the entire territory of Nanyang, he would have achieved success, just because he was afraid...
After half an hour, Jiao San hurried back:
"Your Highness, you found out that the Qing dog seemed to be making a fuss. We just touched the Qing camp within a mile, but we didn't meet the Qing soldiers and spies.
We dare not stick too close. From a distance, I saw a hundred soldiers blocking the gate of the camp, and some people burning the walls..."
When marching and camping, the camps were built with cut trees and then they were built into the land, then ditches were built and ditches were built.
This camping is not an easy job. Many troops specially recruit civilians to form camps. In addition to being responsible for escorting food and grass, their main job is to build camps every day.
"Did you see clearly?"
Zhu Cijiong urgently took two steps forward, his face full of joy.
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Cijiong realized his loss of composure, so he coughed lightly: "This is a big deal, have you really seen it clearly?"
"Yes Your Highness!"
Jiao San was very sure: "I carefully observed the Qing army's camp. This should be really making money!"
Zhu Cijiong was about to laugh wildly at the sky!
These green camps still remain unchanged from their previous style!
When they served the Ming Dynasty, mutinies would occur from time to time and demand excise fees...
In the feudal era, raising wages was a very common thing, and almost half of the army had to make a fuss before it set off.
As the saying goes, a child who can cry has candy to eat. This little noisy thing can cost at least a few thousand taels of silver...
In this way, how many armies do not ask for benefits before they set out?
Even if the soldiers can't get these money... do the generals dislike money and make a fuss?
How much money did that loyal Yuandudu ask for?
Even the Eight Banners Qing soldiers were still stuck in the process when they encountered a strong city. They had to wait until the commander issued the order to rob the whole city before they could put in their true strength...
"Master Zhang, can there be rivers or ditches that can avoid the avenue and lead to the road near Qingying?"
Zhu Cijiong turned his head and asked Zhang Ruotai.
“Yes, I need to take some paths.
Behind the mountain, there is a dry river channel that can lead to the Qing army camp not far away."
As a local snake, Zhang Ruotai naturally knew the surrounding terrain.
...
General Li Shen made people make trouble, and he sat in the main account.
But the staff went to Yuzhou City to inquire.
As an old general who fought against war, he has done such things more than once or twice.
As time goes by, even Ma Daha, who is illiterate, knows how to deal with this matter-
He cannot come forward to such a thing, and he can only leave everything to his staff. After getting the money, he comes forward to say a few good words...
In this way, even if the court wants to punish him, there will be no reason.
As for the soldiers who were in the mutiny...
Just catch a few farmers, cut your head and hand it over!
...
In Yuzhou City, the magistrate looked embarrassed:
"Mr. Houde, it's not that our province refuses to contribute to the soldiers, but that Yuzhou is poor!"
The magistrate, with his big belly, stuffed himself into the Taishi chair with difficulty. He held a tea bowl in his hand, picked up the cup and held it again and again.
Has Qiu Ba not seen that I have served tea and sent guests several times?
So lack of vision!
Zuo Houde sat on his own chair, completely ignoring the hints of the magistrate Wang Wei, and his deep-locked eyebrows:
"Master, this is not the best. The guys are making a big fuss. You said that it is only 8,000 taels of silver, which is probably only going to make those bastards even more restless..."
