Han’s Son is Not a Slave

In Liuzhou, a large camp was set up on the east side of Nanmen Wharf. More than 10,000 soldiers from two towns in Annan were placed here. [Full text reading] On the Liuzhou Dadong campus not far away, the newly recruited wolf soldiers from the two towns are training in formation under the command of the officers. The wolf soldiers are mostly strong men, with only a few Han and natives. Except for the familiar and strong native officials, they are almost illiterate. Therefore, in order to teach these wolf soldiers the basic marching formation, the officers can be described as painstaking efforts. Effect.

The wharf is very busy. Dozens of large ships parked on the wharf are constantly transporting grains to the shore. Some of these military rations are transferred from Nanning, Xunzhou and other places, and the rest are shipped from Zhaoqing. Because of the shortage of manpower, Guangxi has suffered from military disasters, and young and young laborers are extremely scarce. Therefore, the Guangxi governor's yamen is sympathetic to the people's strength and does not conscript men, but only makes the Qing army subordinate soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in the army to carry out material transportation, while the people are busy with spring ploughing. The Taiping Army has a very good reputation among the hundreds of thousands of people left in Guangxi, and it is very popular among the people.

More than 1,000 Qing army green battalion soldiers who surrendered from Nanning and Wuzhou were struggling to carry food on the dock. Although it was a hard life, the descendants did not complain much. At least, the Taiping Army did not kill them and allowed them to eat enough. After the work is done, if they perform well, they can be turned into regular soldiers. With such treatment, they can wake up laughing from their dreams, and there is nothing to complain about.

A row of houses was built beside the pier. It was just made of wood and covered with grass. The building was quite simple. On weekdays, it was mainly for the soldiers who were working to rest and eat. In case of wind and rain, it is used to store materials that cannot be transported to the city in time, such as grain and gunpowder.

The one in this row of houses that is closest to the river is bigger than the other houses, and the house is not empty, but complete with tables, chairs and benches. There were a lot of tea bowls on the table of the Eight Immortals, and several Taiping officers in flaming red military uniforms were sitting around, drinking cold tea and chatting about the war and the Annan expedition a few days ago.

Next to the door, Zhao Ziqiang, who had been promoted from the fifth town to the commander of the expeditionary army, was smoking a hookah with his eyes closed. What he said, he just listened to his ears, but did not open his mouth to express any opinions. Especially when his subordinates talked about Annan's affairs, he ignored it. his. The commander made it clear to him that after you arrive in Annan, as long as you follow the instructions in this booklet, then you, the King of Annan, will definitely be able to do it, even if you want to be the Supreme Emperor of Annan.

King Annan? The emperor?

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Ziqiang's mouth, and he knocked on the hookah very comfortably. I think from time to time, but Annan's woman doesn't know how she looks.

Regarding Gao's promotion to the expeditionary army commander, in the eyes of his subordinates, Zhao's performance is really a shame. In fact, Zhao Ziqiang did appear calm, neither happy nor angry. After receiving the transfer order, he began to prepare for the southward trip, but he had never revealed his attitude towards the transfer order itself in front of his subordinates.

Lu Guangzu once privately asked Zhao Ziqiang what the commander said in the letter that Dong Changqing brought him, and whether it was because Shao Jiugong participated in the impeachment that the commander was very dissatisfied. Move Zhao Ziqiang away from Guangxi. Zhao Ziqiang smiled and diverted the matter, not mentioning it at all. Lu Guangzu was bored, and he was also promoted, so he didn't ask any more after thinking about it. The left and right Annan is on the edge of Guangxi, not thousands of miles away. I can't go back to Daming in my life. If you want Annan, just ask Annan.

After receiving the transfer order, Zhao Ziqiang handed over to Yu Shizhong, and led the town guards he could take away and some generals who were allowed to be transferred directly into Liuzhou City to wait for the naval master Hou to come and pick them up for their departure.

The Annan people betrayed the alliance, rebelled against Daming, and detained Daming officers and soldiers without authorization. The Taiping Army immediately established the Annan Army, also known as the Taiping Expeditionary Army. Because the expedition to Annan was a national war, the expedition army commander was upgraded to the commander-in-chief, equivalent to the post of Zuodududu of the Five Armies Commander's Office, who actually commanded the entire expedition army and took full responsibility for the expedition to Annan.

Nominated by Zhou Shixiang, the fifth town general Zhao Ziqiang was promoted to the post of governor of the expeditionary army due to the high military exploits in Guangxi, and the deputy governor was appointed by the fifth town deputy general Lu Guangzu.

The expeditionary force consists of two towns of the army and a battalion of the naval division. The two towns of the army are the reconstructed eleventh town and the newly built twelfth town. In addition to the more than 800 remaining soldiers in the town, the eleventh town was also composed of former Qing troops in Wuzhou, Xunzhou and Nanning. The town has a three-battalion military system, with a total of 7,575 troops. The twelfth town is also a three-battalion military system, composed of the captured and surrendered Qing troops from the fifth town.

The eleventh town will be served by Lu Guangzu, the former deputy general of the fifth town and the deputy governor of the expeditionary army at the same time, and the deputy general will be served by Hu Mingyi, the former Brigade School of the Fifth Town; Zhang Yue, the former Brigade School of the Eleventh Town, was appointed. The positions of brigade school and battalion commander in the two towns were filled by hundreds and thousands of households who had performed well in the war in Guangxi. The specific candidate will be reported by the Guangxi Governor Yamen to report the military commander's office in Guangxi to be promoted to the post ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The vacant fifth town after Zhao Ziqiang's promotion will be Yu Shizhong, the former Brigade School. At the same time, two new towns of Wolf Soldiers were newly compiled, which were designated as the thirteenth town and the fourteenth town respectively. The thirteenth town will be appointed by Shang Keyuan, the former commander of the Han army under the Pingnan domain, and the fourteenth town general will be Geng Zhongde, the former commander of the Han army under the Jingnan domain. This move shows that the surrender of the Han army under the original Pingnan domain and the Jingnan domain will begin to be reused by Zhou Shixiang, and it also means that the surrender of the Han army under the Pingnan and Jingnan domains will truly be integrated into the Taiping army system.

Geng Zhongde did not go west with the army, but stayed in Guangzhou for armament training, so he presided over the affairs of the office in the name of the deputy admiral. He never thought that he would be suddenly appointed by Zhou Shixiang as the town general of the 14th town, because he came to Guangxi on the one hand. It was to bring 120 newly graduated officers and cadets to Guangxi to enrich and build the two towns of Wolf Soldiers. On the other hand, they came to report their mourning.

The King of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, died of illness.

I received a call at 9 o'clock last night, and my relatives were huddled together. The 17-year-old son beat his mother and smashed the house. A group of relatives stayed until two o'clock, and I went home after three o'clock. I saw my friends in the book review scolding, and I knew I was wrong. Yesterday, I only updated 7,000 words, so I posted a post in the book review to explain a little. Of course, it is useless to say that, the key is whether to guarantee more updates. (To be continued.)
