The second wave of the Jiangnan West Road uprising has actually reached a low ebb. It was successfully suppressed by the Song army, and there are not many remaining forces.
The only people Zhao Yucheng saved were Zhang Xiaohu and the people who followed him into Luoxiao Mountain.
There are about 30,000 people in this group, and together with the more than 40,000 people brought by Zhao Yucheng and others, it amounts to about 80,000 people.
Zhao Yucheng led the Renaissance organization to connect with the tribesmen led by Zhang Xiaohu, and assigned them to five townships according to their areas of origin, letting them live with the people who arrived first, and called on those who came first to help those who arrived later. , build a house together.
As for rations and the like, it's not difficult.
Zhao Yucheng and Zhang Xiaohu took away almost all the rations of Tian Shizhong's troops, so they saved a little to last for a while.
During this period, the land cultivated by the original bandits has also reached harvest time, and a lot of food can be harvested. If there is another shortage of food rations, then use the gold reserves Su Yonglin gave them to buy it. As long as you can afford the price, there is nothing wrong with it. Can't buy it.
In addition, the Luoxiao Mountains cover a vast area. The so-called mountains and rivers support one's daily diet. They can also supplement their daily diet by picking, hunting, fishing, etc. in the mountains.
The survival rules in the mountains had been intensively practiced for a while before they went south. Su Yonglin had made sufficient knowledge reserves for them, including the knowledge that mushrooms and fungi could grow quickly and were suitable for use as emergency rations.
So the problem of eating is not a problem for the time being.
Zhang Xiaohu led a group of people into Daxiang, where Zhao Yucheng was mainly responsible, and settled in the Daxiang area. Then he held a meeting with Zhao Yucheng to discuss the next step.
Zhao Yucheng had a very clear strategic goal, and he was not at all confused about this battle.
But Zhang Xiaohu was very confused and didn't know what to do next?
"We just wanted to eat a few more mouthfuls of food at first, so that the officials wouldn't take away all our food rations. When everyone was encouraged to elect me as the leader, I just got excited and thought about complying with people's opinions. He rebelled with everyone.
But now, everyone is dead and wounded, and we have been beaten to the point of being breathless by the army. We can survive for a while hiding in the mountains, but what can we do if the army comes again? After all, the power of the government and army is still too great. "
Zhang Xiaohu seemed a little depressed. He felt guilty that the people who followed him had suffered losses because of his weakness.
Zhao Yucheng comforted him.
"The power of the government and the army is great, but we do not have no chance of victory. For us, the biggest advantage is that the government oppresses the people too much. The people are willing to rise up as long as someone takes the lead. They will become our continuous reserve force. .”
Zhao Yucheng patted Zhang Xiaohu on the shoulder: "As long as we educate them and let them understand why they should resist, what resistance is, and how to resist successfully, then we have a great chance of success!"
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhao Yucheng and blinked.
"What oppression or resistance? Why can't I understand this?"
"………………"
Zhao Yucheng also blinked, realizing that Zhang Xiaohu was not his comrade yet, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Uh, okay, I forgot. In this case, let's start immediately and start class immediately. After class, you will know what I mean, and you won't feel that there is no way ahead. Trust me .”
"Attend class?"
"Well, everyone who enters the mountains must take classes. Everyone can read and read, and then understand why they are so poor and why they don't have enough to eat. Once you understand this, you will know why you should resist and how to resist. Resisted."
Zhao Yucheng held Zhang Xiaohu's hand tightly: "Commander Zhang, I can see that you are a very loyal person. After taking the class, you will learn more."
Why are you poor?
Why can’t I have enough to eat?
These two questions are really interesting.
Zhang Xiaohu wanted to know.
So Zhang Xiaohu nodded.
"Okay, I understand, I'm in class, and I really want to know why I can't have enough to eat even though I work so hard all year long!"
Zhang Xiaohu decided to accept Zhao Yucheng's suggestion and take classes with the people who lived here first.
At his suggestion, the officers of Zhang Xiaohu's rebel army also took classes with him to solve the doubts that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time.
Zhao Yucheng was overjoyed and immediately arranged for his most profitable candidate, his deputy Du Qi, to be the head of the training class to give classes to Zhang Xiaohu and the rebel officers under his command. After educating them, he would then let them educate them. Soldiers under his command.
For Zhang Xiaohu and others, starting from these two questions may be able to solve some of their confusions.
As for completely solving the confusion in your heart, it may take a long period of study and practice.
Zhao Yucheng originally thought that they would not have much time, but he never expected that Qi Fang would give them this time.
The peasant army, which entered the Luoxiao Mountain area to prepare for war, was surprised to find that the Song army showed no sign of entering the mountains to launch a large-scale attack.
The news they sent back from the spies they sent out was that Song soldiers bullied civilians, burned, killed, looted and bullied men and women everywhere. There was no other news.
It seemed as if the Song Army planned to maintain the status quo after achieving a certain victory and did not intend to continue attacking.
In the face of the rebellious peasant army, shouldn't they use military force to strike quickly and violently?
Don't they plan to completely eliminate the peasant army in the Luoxiao Mountain area?
Zhao Yucheng was a little strange, so he could only continue to send people to inquire. After inquiring, he couldn't find any useful information. However, he accidentally opened up a business line with the Song army stationed there.
The quartermasters of the Song Army were very envious as they watched the combat troops enjoy themselves and enslave the people with the steel knives in their hands.
But because they were not a fighting force, and they were also marginalized within the Song Army group, anger arose in their hearts, evil grew in their courage, and they decided to do something.
What to do?
Of course they were stealing and selling military rations and ordnance.
Who is the buyer?
Of course it is the peasant army in the mountains.
They felt that the peasant army hiding in the mountains must be lacking in supplies and living a difficult life, so they must be eager to trade supplies, and they must be rich - a team composed of poor people must be rich.
They can't make money from rich people, because rich people don't lack these things, and they don't have to spend money to get these things.
So they can only earn money from poor people.
Making money, whose money is not earned?
Not shabby.
Zhao Yucheng and others were surprised at first, wondering what these Song Army quartermasters were doing here and whether they had some bad ideas.
However, they do lack hard materials such as food. The production level in the mountains has not yet improved, and it is still difficult to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, Zhao Yucheng decided to try to trade with these people and use the large amounts of gold, silver, etc. they currently had but were difficult to spend to purchase food and military supplies.
These quartermasters were very happy when they saw the gold and silver. They thought that these poor people were indeed rich, and it was right to make money from them.
So I asked them if they needed anything else besides food, such as armor, knives, spears, or even divine arm bows, etc. As long as they paid, they could sell them all in gold and silver.
If you buy a certain number of Divine Arm Bows, you will also receive special arrows for the Divine Arm Bows! You can also give away some assembly parts and technical assistance!
relative!
Zhao Yucheng and others were stunned again.
Oh boy, there are also bonus services!
