"Brother-in-law... you can go back to the camp and rest for a while. We can keep an eye on you here. Do you still need to worry about these chickens and dogs?"
"That's right, cousin, you can have a cigarette and go back to the camp to rest. We are here to keep an eye on you..."
During the ceasefire on the battlefield, several battalion commanders came over and whispered to Nastu, sharing cigarettes among them.
Of course, Nastu couldn't control the army just by relying on favors such as pushing food and clothing, but more importantly, he had to use in-laws!
After Nastu took control of the Fifth Division, he began to marry among the senior officers of the army. Nastu himself directly married three concubines, who were the sisters of these officers.
Then there were cousins in Nastu's family, and he placed these people in the army, and even married the female members of his family to his senior officials.
You marry my people, my people marry you, relatives are connected to relatives, blood is connected to blood!
In the eyes of the Han people, this kind of thing is forming a clique for selfish gain! But in the Qing Dynasty, you couldn't impeach this kind of thing, because the Eight Banners Group had such a virtue!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China and the entry into the Customs, this group of people has been intermarried with each other, and the generational hierarchy is extremely confusing. Sometimes two people can come out with different generations from different relatives.
It's not that Manchus and Han people can't get married, but that's only done by bannermen from small families. High-ranking nobles will never get married to Han people, or even if they get married, it's just a concubine, a concubine, and a wife. But it’s not outsiders’ turn.
Nastu's in-law method may be too obvious, but for the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty, it is not a rare thing!
Thanks to the large amount of favors and constant in-law connections, the fifth division was really monolithic in his hands.
Nastu knew that these relatives were telling the truth, and he didn't make excuses with them. He directly whispered, "Haha, you guys don't understand!"
"Damn it, I had that boy Bai Min give me a slap in the face in the camp before. I was so angry that I couldn't stand it for a long time!"
"I said that I would take the initiative and win a grand victory in the field, but King Dun refused to agree, and it was this Bo Min who did it!"
"Bai Zhan is also a weakling. In the end, he followed those people and got rid of me..."
"Ah? Damn... you dare to bully our fifth division? Damn it, I'll shoot him with a cold gun later..."
"Nonsense..." Nastu was so frightened that he blocked his cousin's mouth. After looking around and seeing no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"You all know that I don't have any extra money in my family, and I don't have any property except the land that was given to me by Lord Long Live!"
"I have put all my efforts into our army! Because I have known for a long time that a great change in the world is coming. Aren't you going to start a fight just by looking at it?"
"In the future of the world, whoever has a gun in his hand will be a hero! With an iron army, our descendants will have food to eat!"
"So I have to take credit, big credit... Can this kind of defense in the trenches show our ability? It's simply impossible!"
"At that time, it will just be like the Second Division and the New Imperial Army. They will share the small merits of each guard, and they will be divided into four parts...because the damn kidnapping horse will still get one share!"
"What's enough for us? In a few hours, the 20,000 reinforcements brought by Fuqing will come again, and more people will share the credit. We will still stand aside!"
"Wealth is sought in danger...I am here just waiting for the opportunity. When the battle situation becomes stalemate, our fifth division will launch a fierce counterattack..."
"We rush into the enemy's lair and kill them! This is a great achievement!"
In the bloody battle just now, the officers and soldiers present killed many rebels. This was an emotional moment. After hearing what the benefactor said, it was still absolutely impossible to harm one's relatives, so what else could be said.
"Do it! Let's do it, my lord! It's hard to find wealth and honor in danger... We will also build a big house in the future and get a title or something. Then we will say that this life in this world has not been in vain..."
"Okay, just be obedient...go down and prepare to fight, the rebels are about to attack!"
Sure enough, as soon as the small meeting was over, the shouts of killing were heard again outside the trenches, and no one knew how many more rebels rushed forward in the darkness.
Ronglu was already furious at this moment. He ordered all his direct line supervisors to press forward. This time, he organized a total of 20,000 rebels and rushed over in overwhelming force.
The first wave of rebels invested 5,000 troops and was defeated!
The second wave of rebels invested 10,000 troops, but still failed to capture it!
The third wave of rebels invested 13,000, but ultimately returned without success!
Ronglu was so anxious that he directly invested 20,000 troops, which was almost all the power he had. The rebels behind him were coming in like a long snake. It would take less than an hour to get them all together!
"Damn it! The attack just now has destroyed 90% of the traps and exposed the enemy's firepower points. What are you still afraid of? Charge forward and fight..."
"Isiha's army has already appeared on the left flank of the battlefield! Even His Majesty's special train is slowly approaching... By the time Your Majesty arrives, we still haven't had any credit, so all the hard work this night has been in vain!"
"I have no more merit. You all have no chance of living... You have to rush over to fill me up with corpses..."
If there are tens of thousands of people, there are no boundaries, but twenty thousand will cover the sky and the sun! The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division in the trenches could even feel the shaking of the earth. They knew that Ronglu was serious.
"Don't fire...get close and shoot...get ready for battle...have your bayonets ready, the enemy should be careful of any fish that slip through the net and rush in..."
"The ministries are ready to fire...the artillery batteries are ready...the machine gun positions are ready...fuck grandma, there is no backup, open this up!"
Bang bang bang... the gunfire rang out, and the light of the flames spitting out from the muzzle actually outlined the outline of the entire trench in the wilderness.
In Ronglu's eyes, it was a bright and extinguishing tongue of fire entrenched on the earth!
Twenty thousand people rushed forward like ants, and the rebels behind them continued to attack. The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood could penetrate for ten kilometers despite the wind!
Bullets were sprayed like a rainstorm, and the rebels in the darkness were swept away one by one. The ghost-headed sword of the supervising team was swung and chopped, and the heads of those who retreated were killed.
"Fight to the death... rush forward... fill the trenches..."
The rebels who fell like wheat buried the entire trap area, and 20,000 people slowly approached the trenches despite the rain of bullets!
"Heavy machine gun fire... hit!"
Ta da da da... da da da... gunfire sounded like tearing cloth, and the ten machine gun positions arranged in the dark began to fire. Once these ten sickles began to harvest lives, the efficiency was simply too high!
