Han’s Son is Not a Slave

No murder, no rape. Prostitution and looting, not robbing goods, not slaughtering oxen, and not setting fire.

These five military disciplines were suggested by Qi Hao to Zhou Shixiang, and were also issued by Li Dingguo when he went out of Yunnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Hengbao's victory.

Since Luo Ding set up the camp, the military discipline of the Taiping Army has generally been strict, but there are also some dissatisfaction.

The purpose of the Taiping army going to Xiangshan is to use Xiangshan as a base to fight against the Qing Dynasty, rather than to continue the previous mobile operations. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang adopted Qi Hao's introduction to the five military disciplines and ordered the battalions not to coerce the people in the future. Song Xianggong and Liao Confucius are also here To start preparing to govern the place.

Of course, not killing people does not mean that the Taiping Army will not kill one person when they arrive at Xiangshan. The rebel Qing officials will definitely be killed, the local gentry who refuse to cooperate with the Taiping Army will also be killed, and their female relatives and wealth will definitely be killed. robbed. These are all enemies of the Taiping Army, and it is really against the law not to rob them.

Cattle are the most valuable wealth of the people in this era. Guangdong has a pleasant climate, and rice is grown everywhere, with two crops a year and three crops a year. The cultivation cycle of rice is very short. As long as the management is strong, the field production can fully support the Taiping army in the long-term battle. In the cultivation of paddy fields, cattle are an indispensable production material. One cattle can support several strong laborers, and it also has a great effect on saving manpower.

Since the Taiping Army has abandoned the policy of coercion and turned to operating the local area as a long-term solution, it will naturally not set fire to the houses of the common people, and may even repair them.

After the promulgation of the five military disciplines, it was enthusiastically supported by more than 100 soldiers from the former Xiangshan Green Camp. When these Xiangshan soldiers went to other places when they were in the Qing army, they murdered and set fire to all kinds of crimes. But when they were stationed in their hometown, they were much more honest.

The five military disciplines promulgated by the Taiping Army are obviously to protect the people of Xiangshan, and these Xiangshan soldiers do not support them. They were worried that the Taiping army would cause damage to their hometown when they arrived in Xiangshan, and they were hesitant and embarrassed, but now they are completely worried. Wholeheartedly want to seek Xiangshan for the Taiping army.

... .

≥style_txt; From the mouths of those Xiangshan soldiers, Zhou Shixiang also had a general understanding of the continuous anti-Qing wars in the Xiangshan area in recent years.

After Zhang Jiayu, the late Prince Taibao, died heroically in Zengcheng, his general Li Wanrong led his remnants to retreat to the mountainous area of ​​Xiangshan to continue to oppose the Qing. When Li Dingguo's army attacked Xinhui last year, Li Wanrong also led his troops to echo, and led his troops to advance to Guangzhou, which indirectly contained the Qing army in Guangzhou. After Li Dingguo withdrew from the army at the beginning of the year, Li Wanrong was unable to support his army alone, and was forced by the Qing army to Wutong Mountain and Qiniang Mountain in Xiangshan Mountain. In April, the Qing army mobilized several troops to encircle Li Wanrong's troops. Li Wanrong led his troops to fight to the death, but in the end he died because of his lack of strength. After Li Wanrong's death, his wife Chang Shi, carrying Li Wanrong's only son Li Jing in the swaddling clothes, jumped off a cliff and threw himself into the Peach Blossom Lake to die for the country.

Chang's death poem left behind:

I hate that I can't move forward at the time,

Follow her husband across the river.

Both enter the peach blossom water together,

Turning into a mandarin duck is also a fairy!

After hearing that Li Wanrong died in battle and his wife threw their son into the pool, the people of Xiangshan all said: "Since ancient times, the people have been loyal and good and have no descendants."

Since ancient times, loyal and good have no descendants, and since ancient times have been loyal and good without descendants.

Zhou Shixiang was moved by what Chang Shi did. Repeatedly pondering what the people of Xiangshan have said since ancient times, loyal and good, and think deeply. After a long shush, I was filled with emotion: It's a good sentence since ancient times!

After Li Wanrong's troops were annihilated, only a few remnants of the Ming army remained in the mountains in Xiangshan. For these remnants of the Ming army, the Qing army lost more than the gains because of the advance of the army. Therefore, they were left to fend for themselves. Anyway, there was a lack of clothing and food in the mountainous areas, and it was impossible for the rest of the Ming army to grow up again.

After the Taiping army captured Xinhui, Shang Kexi ordered all the prefectures and counties to transfer troops to attack Xinhui, and most of the Green Battalion soldiers stationed in Xiangshan were transferred to Xinhui. The result was all over the place. At present, the Qing army in Xiangshan is weak, and when the Taiping army entered Xiangshan at this time, it can be said that the Qing army in Xiangshan was caught off guard.

...

Xiangshan County has ten townships since the Song Dynasty. In the first year of Ming Hongwu, the township was changed to Fangdu. The current county government is located in Renhoufang, which is roughly equivalent to the center of Shiqi City, Zhongshan City. Xiangshan County is not big, with four gates, but it is much smaller than Xinhui, and the city wall is also badly damaged. In addition to Renhoufang, the county seat, there are also nine capitals in Xiangshan, roughly the area of ​​Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Zengcheng, Guangdong, as recognized by Zhou Shixiang. The ten squares all occupy a very large area, far exceeding the city of Guangzhou.

After crossing the river, the Taiping army did not stop for a moment and marched towards Renhoufang, the seat of Xiangshan County, and occupied the unguarded Longan Capital on the same day. Because of the discussion with Chen Qice, Zhou Shixiang took Longyandu as the important town to connect with Xinhui, and ordered Qin Zhisheng to lead the Hujie Battalion to garrison here, and to place the people of the post-2000 camp here.

Because of the wars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the past few years, Xiangshan, like other prefectures and counties in Guangdong, was severely affected by the war~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although it is much better than Luoding, Xinhui and other places, it is also a vast area and sparsely populated. . Longan used to have six or seven thousand people, but now there are only more than 2,000 people. The decline of the population has led to the increase of unowned land. Although there are also landlords and evil gentry who took the opportunity to seize the land by taking advantage of the deaths of the common people, these people have already fled after hearing the news before the Taiping army came down. Guangzhou ran, and they left a lot of land for the Taiping army to resettle the civilians.

How to arrange the rear camp and how to organize the people's production, these are all matters of Song Xianggong. Zhou Shixiang did not ask about it, but was only in charge of the military. Therefore, Duke Xiang of Song could only stay in Longandu to be responsible for all affairs, while the rest of the women and children in the Houying camp who continued to advance to Xiangshan with the Taiping army let Liao Ruixiang be in charge.

Xiangshan was the base that Zhou Shixiang found for the Taiping army, and Longandu was the first Fragrant Hills capital occupied by the Taiping army, so Zhou Shixiang was very concerned about the governance of Longandu. How Song Xianggong did in Longan was also a test for the Taiping army. It can be said that Zhou Shixiang regarded Longan as a test point. Whether this test point is well done is directly related to whether the Taiping army can gain a foothold in Xiangshan.

Before leaving, Zhou Shixiang once again warned Qin Zhisheng of five military disciplines. The reason why Qin Zhisheng was stationed at Longyandu instead of Ge Yi and the others was because of Qin Zhisheng's stability. After giving the general instructions, Zhou Shixiang led the rest of the army the next day to approach Liangzidu, which was only thirty miles away from Xiangshan County. To be continued.
