He said loudly: "Has the letter of surrender to Jinlou Village been sent out?"
He has already said hello to Qu Jie, commander of the First Army in charge of fighting in Henan and Shandong provinces. After quelling the banditry in northern Anhui, he will lead his troops north to wipe out the Li Gua sect near Guide in one fell swoop. Qu Jie It was also agreed that the Eighth Division would enter Henan for coordinated operations.
It¡¯s just that even Feng Sixian himself never thought that the momentum of the northward march this time would be so huge. There were countless cavalry teams. The powerful cavalry team in Nianzi that once made the Qing army helpless was now back on the battlefield.
This cavalry team even effortlessly scared away the rest of the Nian army Zhang Lexing and Su Tianfu who were trying to return to their hometown in Zhiheji. The commander of this cavalry team was Ren Zhu, who was beside him. Ren Zhu said loudly: "It has been sent out. No matter if there is a reply or not, we will go straight to Jinlou Village!"
Feng Sixian stopped his horse and asked Ren Zhu: "Commander Ren Huabang, how many horses did you bring with you?"
Huaibei has always been the place where China sent out its elite troops and cavalry. Historically, the Beifu Army originated from the two Huaihe Rivers. In modern times, Luohe and other places adjacent to northern Anhui were the largest mule and horse distribution markets in the country, and horses were raised here. Therefore, mules and horses were easy to obtain, so the Nian army formed a powerful cavalry, and used this cavalry to sweep the world for a long time.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Peng Xuefeng's Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army also formed the famous Fourth Division Cavalry Regiment in this area. However, the cavalry in Ren Zhu's hands is not limited to the size of a regiment. Even Ren Zhu does not know what this cavalry regiment is in his hands. How many cavalry there are: "I don't know myself, but there are at least two thousand cavalry. I never expected that as soon as my conscription flag was raised, there would be so many old men who brought their own horses to join the army."
These cavalrymen are all experienced veterans. They have experienced many battles with the Qing army and regiment training, so they can be used as soon as they are pulled out. Feng Sixian couldn't help but sighed: "Not bad. Not bad. You can pull up two thousand riders even if you set up a flag. You Ren Huabang is amazing. Your Majesty is indeed right!"
He originally had some opinions about Liu Chang directly appointing this former Nian leader as the commander of the cavalry brigade, but he did not expect that Ren Zhu Ren Huabang was indeed a high-ranking figure, and Ren Huabang quickly complained to him: "Two thousand cavalry, This is a force of 10,000, and Governor Feng needs to help us a lot!"
Now Ren Zhu takes care of almost all the food, drinks and food for these two thousand elite riders. The cost of a cavalryman is almost five infantrymen. With Renzhu's family background, it is almost impossible to cope with the expenditure of 10,000 cavalrymen. Fortunately, after he was appointed as the cavalry brigade commander, he can both The public paid a sum of money and food in advance, and could borrow money and food from large households in northern Anhui. I would like to ask you all to advance part of the expenditure first, so that we can barely survive.
"No problem, we will be responsible for all the expenses before you return to build the cavalry army, no matter what. These are all children of Anhui Province!" He sighed again: "Your cavalry team is really good, how is the discipline!"
Riding skills were a fact before Feng Sixian's eyes, but the military discipline of the Nian army was outside the old base areas of Zhiheji and Zhiheji, which were completely different things. That's why Ren Zhu paid for the entire cavalry: "Undisciplined It's lax, but who doesn't want a person with a good family background and a war horse? In our northern Anhui Province, he must be a solid family. Theft is inevitable, but as long as the military pay and military supplies continue, there will be no bullies. Women¡¯s problem!¡±
"Leave half of it for me!" Feng Sixian said straight to the point: "I am planning to form a cavalry brigade to respond to the province's mobility. The military pay and military supplies, horseshoes and horse gear are all available."
He didn't give Ren Zhu a chance to refute, but Ren Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's the best. Your Majesty's order to me only allows me to summon a cavalry regiment to take office. I don't know these two things." How should I dismiss thousands of people? You have done me a great favor!"
"I'll give them a chance!" Feng Sixian raised the riding crop and said, "Maybe in a few years, people like you and me will appear among them!"
He has the confidence to say this. Just four or five years ago, he was just a commoner, but now he is a military governor in charge of the military and political power of a province.
While the two were talking happily, the fast horse in front had already sent the news: "Jinlouzhai refused to surrender, and even killed one of the people we sent to deliver the surrender letter!"
"Damn it!" Ren Zhu was the first to roar: "Warlord, let our cavalry come. No matter how high the walls of Jinlou Village are, I will wash Jinlou Village"
"No need!" Feng Sixian sneered: "Let them have a taste of the power of the cannon!"¡ª¡ª
££??
At this time, there was already a cloud of sadness in Jinlou Village. Although the believers were still chanting "Empty hometown, birthless old mother", except for the most stubborn Li Gua believers, no one dared to talk about their own prospects.
These sect members were hastily gathered. Although they were very stubborn and even fanatical, they were not a group of qualified soldiers. The experience of besieging Guide Fucheng a few days ago fully confirmed this. The entire Guide Fucheng clearly had only Two platoons of infantry and hundreds of non-combatants, but the Li Gua Sect could not attack Guidefu City, and instead suffered hundreds of casualties.
After they returned to Ma Muji, they had no determination to make further progress. Instead, they stayed put and preached the Bagua teachings. At the same time, they promoted the leaders to positions and titles, and made more than 140 empresses, and more than 70 of them had the same title. The king, forty prime ministers, and more than seventy marshals tried to stabilize and enterprising the military morale after the failure of Guide Mansion.
But they allowed the troops of Miao Peilin and Li Zhaoshou in Mengcheng in the south to fail, and even their allied Nian Army could not stand it. After several negotiations, the Nian Army commanded by Liu Gou simply left the country and headed north. Only the tens of thousands of believers in Jinlouzhai and Mamuji were left.
When Gao Yongqing started the uprising, he used the method of preaching the end of the world. At that time, Gao Yongqing used his status as the leader of the Li Gua Sect to preach that "a great disaster is coming, and only those who enter the stronghold will be spared." Now those who entered the stronghold have suffered many casualties. This made many believers who were coerced into thinking.
The Hong Army responded quickly. After the Mengcheng Rebellion was put down, Feng Sixian personally led a combat detachment based on a main regiment of the Eighth Division, as well as five to six thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry from the Huanghuai Construction Corps. The total number of troops was no more than 15,000, and local troops near Guide entered to suppress Jinlou Village.
It can be said that dark clouds are threatening to destroy Jinlou Village now. Both Gao Yongqing and the followers below have become depressed.
"Uncle, now tens of thousands of Hong Army soldiers are attacking Jinlou Village, and you have killed someone else's envoy to persuade them to surrender. What should we do?"
The person who said this was Gao Yongqing's sister-in-law, Gao Yao. She had a high prestige in Jinlouzhai and had two capable sons. Her words carried great weight. Gao Yongqing also felt that the situation had become quite unfavorable, but he still spoke harshly. He said: "What's so scary about this? There are now a total of 20,000 people in Jinlouzhai plus Mamuji. They need food for half a year, salt for one year, gunpowder and lead for three years, and there are only ten thousand red thieves. What's so scary!" "
"I am a woman." Mr. Gao Yao stepped forward and said, "I don't understand any big things, but I still know that uncle, you secretly shovel soil on the grave every year."
When Gao Yongqing heard this, he jumped up and down anxiously: "A woman is a woman, a woman is a woman, what are you talking about!"
What he was talking about was an incident in the Li Gua Sect. The reason why the Gao family has been in charge of the Li Gua Sect in Jinlouzhai for more than a hundred years was not only the first to set up the Sect, but also the reason why they invited gods. There are many stories and legends about apparitions.
For example, the soil in front of the ancestral grave of the Gao family has automatically grown a few inches higher every year since the Gao family became prosperous. This has also become part of the Gao family's miracles, attracting countless believers. However, the Gao Yao family is very shrewd and does not hide this trick. But him.
"I am a woman!" Mrs. Gao Yao was still reluctant: "But my eyes are sharp. I can see clearly what is true and what is false. Uncle, don't you think so?"
"Then you are going to make a debut? Go ahead!" Gao Yongqing was angry. He slapped the table hard: "Still want to remarry? If you want to leave, just leave!"
Ms. Gao Yao cried aggrievedly, and it took her a long time to calm down: "Uncle, please stop talking, stop talking, I won't leave. My home is here, my son is here, and I want to The person who remarried is also here, I can¡¯t leave! I just want to ask, uncle"
Gao Yongqing also became anxious: "Tell me?"
"Do you really believe in the birthless mother?"
For a Li Gua leader like Gao Yongqing, the answer is very natural: "I believe it!"
He had to believe that the Gao family had been the leader of the Li Gua Sect for more than a hundred years, and countless of their ancestors had been beheaded, imprisoned, and exiled by the Qing Dynasty. How could he not believe it? He even added: "Don't Not to mention, the Red Thieves were also a group of religious bandits a few years ago. At that time, they were not even as orthodox as us and could recruit gods!"
The past of the Hong Army and its relationship with the Taiping Army are now very taboo topics in Daxia. Officials will bury this period of dark history, but for a great leader like Gao Yongqing, this is an out-and-out issue. A typical example of this. Since the Hong Army can conquer the world through the God-Worship Cult, they can naturally do the same with the Li Gua Sect. You must know that compared to history and the completeness of the theoretical system, a sect like the Li Gua Sect is better than the later God-Worship Cult. I don¡¯t know how many times.
But Mr. Gao Yao didn't care about this: "Then I believe it too. I just hope that the old mother Wu Sheng can send down the gods."trace¡¡"
She didn't say what was on her mind, but Gao Yongqing understood what was going on in her heart. He just felt confused and didn't know how to respond. When the atmosphere was very strange, someone outside shouted: "The red thief is coming. , a large group of red thieves are coming!"
