Medical Consort Raises the Hell - Chapter 729

During the period of fengqingxiao’s personal expedition to leave Chang’an City, the ambitious or scheming people took advantage of Northern Xinjiang to resist the strong enemy. Of course, there were more than six people who changed their minds. They directly attacked cities and plundered land in a high-profile manner, expanded their power and territory, and even raised the banner of rebellion.

Dare not be so blatant, support the soldiers with self-respect, wait and see after the plot, either gradually expand their influence and territory, or support the soldiers to support themselves.

Under the turmoil, as time goes on, because no one is optimistic about the biggest war in a thousand years that Northern Xinjiang needs to face, many forces, big and small, have sprung up. Of course, not everyone is qualified to take the tiger skin as the banner. What’s more, they just take the opportunity to gain some benefits or want to dominate.

Among them, there are also many insightful and capable officials who, in order to protect local safety, do things that are against the rules or even against the law.

For example, in order to make the place peaceful, these officials recruited young people to join the army, blocked the main roads of the city, and increased taxes without permission. The local revenue, grain and tax revenue are not handed over to the state treasury, but are intercepted, recruited, strengthened and so on. Every one of these is a felony enough to kill one’s head or even one’s family. However, because of the rebellion everywhere, Chang’an City has no owner, and no one has ever investigated it.

As time goes on, among these officials, the ambitious ones naturally have many plans to expand their forces and territory.

Other officials who do not have such a heart also support their troops and respect themselves. They have heavy troops all over the border and are strictly guarded.

Among all the traitors, one of the garrison envoys was the funniest. He expanded his forces to nearly 200000 in a short time with his original strength. At that time, this man had the most troops among all the traitors.

However, a strong military force is not necessarily a good thing, sometimes it will become a tragedy.

Many of the newly requisitioned soldiers were forced to do so. Naturally, they were filled with resentment. New recruits, however, can’t come in handy with short-term training. These are just small problems, clothing, armor, weapons And so on many necessities, but there is a huge gap. The inventory accumulated for many years has been emptied, and even the worn-out armor weapons have been used, but they are far from meeting the needs of 200000 troops.

Clothing is easy to say, soldiers can also wear the original clothing, or can wear any clothing.

Armor can also be ignored for the time being. After all, there is no need to fight the enemy in a short time. But without weapons, what’s an army?

As a result, the general’s soldiers appeared with forks, pig knives, hoes, shovels and other weapons.

The most serious problem is not the lack of armor and weapons, or even the payment of money, but the problem of food. The 200000 troops need a huge amount of food every day. Of course, these soldiers who were forcibly recruited without permission could not be recognized by the imperial court, and they would not be paid.

Soon, how to feed 200000 troops and make these people have enough to eat became the biggest headache for the general.

It was not long before the time limit set by Ouyang Baofeng, the Grand Marshal of Northern Xinjiang, for all parties to surrender unconditionally and absolutely. Everywhere they went, all the capitals, towns, troops, money and food belonged to northern Xinjiang.

Soon after, the northern army will be in the city, and all the traitors will be in fear.

Under this situation, the alliance of Siye town was quickly promoted by Zhou Changming, and several major rebel princes came to discuss how to join forces to resist the northern Xinjiang army.

This news was soon presented to Feng Qingxiao and Ouyang Baofeng.

The surrounding areas of Siye town are plains, and there is no place to hide the generals within dozens of miles. The leaders of all walks of life who come to the alliance are not allowed to bring a large army. Each leader can command 10000 troops, but they are not allowed to enter within 30 miles around the town. They can only lead 1000 troops to the north of the town.

In order to reassure the princes, they can first send a team of people to explore around the town at will. After entering the town to check, the leaders of all roads can enter the town.

The people led by the rebel party all cherish their lives. They think that they are the right ones and will ascend to the throne in the future. Therefore, they all send a team of people to explore around and in Siye town. When the subordinates came back to report that everything was normal and safe, they entered the town with the required 1000 talents.

Small Siye Town, not so big place, can accommodate many people of several princes. Therefore, most of these soldiers and horses can only be stationed in Siye Town, not all of them can follow their main general to protect them.

Zhou Changming’s face was full of simple, honest and sincere smile. He apologized to the vassals who came to him one after another: “ladies and gentlemen, this place is so small that there is really no place to place your elite soldiers. I keep expanding day and night, and it can only accommodate more than a thousand people. ”

All the anti kings could not help frowning. This should be a ancestral hall, surrounded by fresh soil, bricks and so on.

Zhou Changming sighed: “we should have chosen a bigger city and a better place, but this place is safer, which can make you rest assured. I hope you will have a good understanding of the simple places.”One of the anti Wang frowned and looked around: “it’s nothing simple. It’s important. It’s just right to agree on something important earlier. No one will pay attention to these minor details.”

Other people nodded their heads and said that if it wasn’t for the geographical characteristics of Siye Town, they had sent people to explore that Zhou Changming didn’t have any troops here, but only took a few hundred people to expand and clean up the ancestral hall here for the purpose of alliance, how could they easily enter the place arranged by Zhou Changming?

“I only send 20 men here to serve you with tea and water. I will never bring a soldier into the ancestral hall. This place is being cleaned up in a hurry. The number of people it can hold is really limited. Please bring 100 people in and arrange the rest around the ancestral hall. What do you think? ”

“A hundred people…”

Seeing someone hesitating, Zhou Changming looked simple: “I have only arranged 20 miscellaneous workers here, and each of you has 100 people. There will be no place to stand here. There are no soldiers around the ancestral hall. They are all elite soldiers brought by you. I sincerely invite you to come and discuss major issues. Do you have any doubts? ”

The leaders of various rebel groups exchanged eyes with their subordinates and other leaders.

Indeed, there are no people of Zhou Changming here, and there are no people around. There are only a few people in the huge ancestral hall. Moreover, their subordinates stayed here to monitor the ancestral hall after they had explored it before. Just now, they told them in private that there was no ambush.

At the invitation of Zhou Changming with a smile, the rebel leaders, each with a hundred confidants, entered the ancestral hall.
