Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

When I thought about it, the emperor just jumped out of the capital and opened the Ming Royal Academy in Handu.

He asked the peasant army generals to protect him, made drastic changes in the selection of courtiers, and made reforms...

Wang Ding felt proud and proud.

This hand today...

Amazing!

……

That night, all the talkative people from all branches of the Wang family stayed up all night.

With excitement, Wang Ding strictly ordered all branches of the family to cooperate with Wei Guozheng.

As the largest official of the Wang family at this time, everyone in the huge Wang family takes his words as the criterion.

The Wang family can summon most of Luotian County...

Zhang Tongchang didn't get a good rest either.

Well aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered, he summoned his men and held a meeting most of the night.

He repeatedly urged generals at all levels to cooperate with Wei Guozheng...

By the time he finished all this, the eastern sky was already dark.

On the contrary, Wei Guozheng, who was responsible for personally executing the plan, slept until dawn.

……

Two thousand "guys" from Hanjiang merchants have changed into collected farm clothes.

The soldiers solemnly cleaned their large leather shoes and packed their honor guard armor.

The replaced equipment was handed over to Zhang Tongchang's subordinates.

Two thousand soldiers, suddenly changed...

……

Wei Guozheng was wearing a green straight long coat that ordinary rich men loved to wear, fat trousers, stuffed into socks, and leggings.

The trouser legs hung low, covering the leggings.

He wore black satin cotton boots with small openings and thick white cotton socks, revealing most of his body.

This outfit turned the fair-faced eunuch into a rustic nouveau riche.

Wei Guozheng inspected the army and frowned.

Although the soldiers wore civilian clothes.

The miscellaneous colors make it seem like this is really a bandit.

However, that straight posture and neat queue were so inconsistent.

What he wants to impersonate is an army of rogue bandits hiding in the mountains and forests struggling to survive.

Isn't this kind of spirit revealed at a glance?

"undisciplined!

What I want is undisciplined!

From now on, you must remember your identity. You are the Peasant Army of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, not the regular army of the imperial court!

Forget about the military rules and act more casually! "

Wei Guozheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

The soldiers glanced at each other for a few times, and couldn't help laughing when they saw the bandit-like clothes on the soldiers and foot robes around them.

The serious formation just now became a lot more scattered in an instant.

"not enough!"

Wei Guozheng personally pulled the two soldiers and slapped Zhan's straight back:

"Bend me over and stretch out one leg.

Yes, and shake slightly from time to time..."

The two soldiers, under the personal training of Wei Guozheng, soon became ruffian soldiers.

"exactly!

That's how it feels! "

A group of soldiers imitated each other and soon became skewed and out of line.

Wei Guozheng became more and more delighted.

That's it!

……

"Remember, from this moment on, you are not soldiers, nor are you guys from Hanjiang Company!

You are bandits!

Bandits should act like bandits!

If some of you still can't think of it, just think about what the bullies in the village looked like before you joined the army, and you should imitate them! "

……

Wei Guozheng reached out and pulled a dry straw from the ground, pinching off a two-inch long section.

He stuffed it into his mouth casually and held it diagonally:

"Like me, I have to stand or sit down!"

Under Wei Guozheng's personal demonstration, the two thousand soldiers gradually found the essence.

The two-thousand-strong army that had just been ordered and prohibited instantly turned into a group of bandits.

"right!

That's it!

Remember, we are not soldiers of the imperial court, we are bandits! "

Wei Guozheng laughed loudly and waved his hand:

"That's it!"

After saying that, he took over the maroon war horse held by Wang Ding himself.

Wei Guozheng looked left and right, always feeling that something was missing.

After thinking about it carefully, I found a partner, put it on the horse's back, and added a dung bag behind the horse's butt.

He tilted his head and looked carefully.

I couldn't help but laugh.

What a fine horse, he made it look like the mount of a great thief.

Wei Guozheng waved his hand, and the two thousand soldiers followed suit and started tinkering one after another.

Soon, the "Hanjiang Merchant Shop Guys" who were originally neat and well-dressed, turned into a group of crooked bandits.

Become!

Once this outfit comes out, anyone who looks at it will think they are a group of bandits...

……

Luotian is a mountainous area.

It is exactly one east and one west of Yingshan Mountain, located on the east and west sides of the main peak of Dabie Mountain.

And Tiantang Village is on the border between the two places.

Although Wei Guozheng claimed to the outside world that he occupied the "Fifth Camp of Gezuo" in Tiantangzhai.

However, he would not really occupy Tiantang Village.

After all, it takes too much time to cross the Dabie Mountains and head to Yingshan Mountain.

Tiantangzhai is the main peak of Dabie Mountain!

Schematic diagram of Wei Guozheng's march. The red dot in the circle is Caojiachong, Wang Ding’s hometown.

As the saying goes: It is better to walk ten miles of light than to walk one mile of wilderness!

Climbing one mile of mountain road is sometimes even more tiring than walking ten miles of flat road.

No one in this world would cross the Himalayas and go to Nepal!

Wei Guozheng didn't even go to Tiantang Village, but directly took his men and crossed the river along the way.

The group crossed Luotian County.

After the Guandu River and Pinghu water converge, the downstream river channel formed is the Ba River.

Wei Guozheng first turned back to the west and walked in the opposite direction.

After arriving at the intersection of the two rivers, we followed the dirt road beside the Pinghu River and turned back to the northeast.

He wants to take a detour!

Dabie Mountain is located at the intersection of Huguang, Henan and South Zhili provinces.

Wei Guozheng was preparing to follow the Pinghu water and arrive at Changling Pass at the junction of Huguang and Henan.

Changling Pass is a pass in the center of the Dabie Mountains, connecting Henan and Hubei.

As long as you pass this pass, you will enter the Huaihe River Basin.

That is the border of Henan.

He planned to go around Henan and attack Yingshan by surprise.

After taking Yingshan, he will lie dormant for a few days.

Wait for Hao Yaoqi to help him spread the news.

Just wait until this news gets fermented...

By then, Southern Zhili's attention will inevitably be on "Wei Guozheng ambush the Qing army."

At this time, because he did not move, the wealthy families in South Zhili ignored the arrival of his "Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo".

As long as there are loopholes in the defenses of Luzhou, Anqing and other places.

He will suddenly rise up and invade several state capitals in the west of South Zhili.

When the time comes, he will use mobile guerrilla tactics.

While disrupting Southern Zhili, try to force the wealthy households to move.

As long as these wealthy families make moves, I believe Teacher Fang Zhenghua will seize the opportunity!

……

Spring is coming.

Although it is a mountainous area in the Dabie Mountains, the branches have already sprouted buds.

By the river, above the grave.

There are old willow trees with black bodies and drooping branches.

The weeping willows have turned green.

The buds give this desolate old tree a hint of spring.

The first spring after Jiashen has quietly arrived.
