After the military meeting, a group of one hundred households and one hundred trial households went to prepare according to the deployment, but Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong did not sleep, but stood there waiting for others. When they were waiting, both of them felt heavy, especially Zhou Shixiang's face was indescribably solemn. It seemed that he was not waiting for his subordinates, but was welcoming a group of warriors who had returned from a **** battle.

Not long after, more than a dozen figures came to the hall one by one in the dark, but the leader was Chen Mo, who was raised to the general flag for his achievements in destroying the east and west forts of the Qing army. His face is full of flesh, like Ge Zheng, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a good person, especially when he went out of the city to destroy the Qing army fort, his face was blown up by a cannon, and a small piece of face was dented, and it was like freckles. The dense scars made him look even more terrifying.

The more than ten sergeants Ge Zheng brought were all trained by him according to Zhou Shixiang's instructions. Seven of them had followed him out of the city to attack at night. After entering the camp. There are those who have been bandits before, and there are those who have been green camps.

"My subordinates have seen thousands of households!"

Chen Mo led his men to salute Zhou Shixiang in a standard military posture, Zhou Shixiang nodded slightly and turned his eyes to Duke Xiang of Song.

Upon seeing this, Duke Xiang of Song said, "I called you here because there is a big thing for you to do."

Hearing this, Chen Mo's cheeks moved, and he said proudly: "This life is given by Qianhu, and Qianhu's order is absolutely nothing. I also ask Qianhu to order, and my subordinates will lead the brothers to do things!"

"No hurry, wait for me to finish my words." Song Xianggong signaled that Chen Mo should not be impatient, and then said solemnly: "This task does not have to be before, it can be said that ten deaths and nine lives, or even ten deaths and no life, so it is in my hands. When you say what's going on, Qianhu will also ask you if you are willing to go. If you don't want to go, Qianhu will never force you to go."

After Song Xianggong finished speaking, Zhou Shixiang answered. He also didn't play tricks with these subordinates, or coaxed them into anything. Said straight: "I don't hide from you, this time you are going to do a job destined to kill you, and the chance of surviving is very slim and almost impossible. I could have ordered you to go directly, but you all follow My good brother Zhou Shixiang is a good man of my Taiping Army, so I don't want to force everyone to die. Now I give you a choice. If you don't want to go, please take a step back. Don't worry about what you are afraid of. If you have the letter, I will never embarrass you!" After speaking, he stopped talking and just glanced at the dozen or so men one by one.

The group of men may not have understood what Zhou Shixiang meant, and they didn't react for a while, standing there in a daze, at a loss.

Chen Mo laughed and said, "Thousands of households are dead and alive. Even if they ask their subordinates to jump into the frying pan now, their brows won't wrinkle!" Speaking of this. The smile faded, and he clasped his fists and said sternly: "This life is given by thousands of households, and I gave it back twice! In my early years, my family was poor and could not afford to read books. So I don't know what the big truths the scholars said, but my subordinates were very poor. Just know one thing, that is to be a good person and repay! If it weren't for Qianhu, his subordinates died a few months ago, how could he still stand in front of Qianhu and say these words! Yue, this subordinate has nothing to say, this errand, this subordinate will take it!"

Speaking of which, Zhou Shi has saved his life twice relative to Chen Mo. One is to rescue him from the Deqing County government office, and the other is to pardon him for the death penalty of robbery. But in essence, these two life-saving graces were not subjectively done by Zhou Shixiang. Rather, it is the result of objective facts. On the heart, for this bandit who takes kidnapping and murder as his profession. Zhou Shixiang couldn't wait to see one kill another, not to mention that this guy violated his own military orders and committed robbery while in chaos.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Taiping Army was first established, and the quality of the personnel was mixed, Zhou Shixiang was unwilling to kill his own people to avoid chilling the army's heart, I am afraid that Chen Mo's body would be so rotten that as he said, where would he still stand alive and alive? before. Fortunately, Zhou Shixiang didn't kill the rough man, otherwise, there would not be a great victory in which the Qing army destroyed the east and west forts in one fell swoop.

Although the artillery that Shang Zhixin transferred from Guangzhou was still not enough to pose a real threat to the Taiping army in Xinhui City, the existence of the two forts still affected the morale and morale of the Taiping army to a certain extent. The first hurdle to face. If these two forts are not taken care of, the Taiping Army will suffer heavy losses in the future. Facts have proved that the destruction of the Qing army's fort has indeed boosted the morale of the Taiping army, and it has also depressed the morale of the Qing army. Since then, there has been no more offensive situation, only a dead end, and even tentative attacks are no longer carried out, allowing the Taiping army to be able to. A respite.

When destroying the east and west forts, Chen Mo played a major role. He was the first to break into the Qing army's fort with all his might, and slashed several Qing troops with his brute force, scaring the rest of the Qing army to flee in a panic. This allowed the dead soldiers of the Taiping Army who followed up to ignite gunpowder to blow up the fort. In this battle, Chen Mo suffered several injuries, and no one refused to accept the promotion of the general banner army. Zhou Shixiang also favored him after the war, and deliberately cultivated him to make him a general character of Zhang Fei in ancient times.

Chen Mo was also quite aware of the fact that a scholar died for his confidant, which greatly increased Zhou Shi's affection for him. Therefore, when Duke Xiang of Song proposed a candidate for a night raid on Guangdong navy, Zhou Shixiang first thought of this bandit who was not afraid of death. The result did not surprise him, and Chen Mo readily took over the mission without life.

"what about you?"

Zhou Shixiang turned his attention to Chen Mo's subordinates.

The first sergeant standing behind Chen Mo was the same size as Chen Mo, but his appearance was quite delicate. Seeing Qianhu looking at him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "I'm a bachelor, I don't have anything to worry about. Daoshan Huohai Xiao is willing to go with the general flag!"

The other sergeant next to him had a very dark face and seemed to be very dirty, so that people couldn't see the real expression on his face, but he heard him say: "My whole family has a dozen members called Qing Yao to kill them clean, and I'm from the dead. The moment I climbed out of the pile, I swear that this life will never end with the Qing Yao! As long as it is to kill the Qing Yao, I, Shen Daqing, will be the first to sign up!"

After the two responded one by one, the remaining sergeants also spoke, saying that they were not afraid of life and death, and were willing to follow the general flag to do this errand to send death.

Zhou Shixiang was very moved by the expressions of the men, and his eyes fell on the remaining two. Just when he thought they would like to go too, he saw one of the young men who was a little short and said, "I-me-me"

Seeing him like this, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help frowning. But then he let go and said to the young man, "You don't have to be afraid, you can say whatever you think. This task is entirely voluntary, if you really don't want to go, just say it directly. Ben Qianhu said that it will never be difficult. You will never be embarrassed!" These words were decisive, even if Song Xianggong winked at the side, he still said so.

"I"

The young man seemed to be afraid in his heart, and seemed to be thinking about something. His expression was very hesitant. After ten seconds, he still gritted his teeth: "Beiqianhu, I still have an old lady and sister in the back camp. I am afraid that if I die, There is no one to take care of my mother and sister, so I don't want to die."

As soon as he heard this, Chen Mo became angry and shouted: "Our Taiping Army has long set the rules, even if you die, my mother and sister will be taken care of, what are you afraid of? Grandma, I think you are afraid of death. I don't want to go!"

"General Flag, I"

Chen Mo's opponents are quite fierce on weekdays, which will accumulate power. Suddenly, the young man's heart trembled, and he was speechless.

Chen Mo's actions naturally made Zhou Shixiang feel a little unhappy, but he didn't mean to blame Chen Mo. Instead, he waved his hand and said to the young man, "Go out, and report to the Houying camp, and you will be transferred to the public library Kuding from now on."

When the young man heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell to his knees excitedly: "Thank you, Qianhu!"

Seeing him like this, Chen Mo was so angry that he spit on his face.

Zhou Shixiang ignored this young man who was afraid of death. Instead, he turned to the other person and asked him, "You also miss your relatives?"

When the man was about to speak, he saw that his companions were all staring at him. Especially Zong Qi's eyes were as wide as a cow, and he wanted to change his mind in a moment. But thinking of the dead parents, he still shook his head and said, "I don't have any relatives when I am young, but"

"But what?"

"But the three generations of Xiao's ancestors are single-handed, and if Xiao Xiao dies, my Bai family will be broken, so" this sergeant surnamed Bai was transferred from the Green Battalion. He felt that the gazes of his companions could kill him.

Zhou Shixiang waved at him indifferently: "The succession of the lineage is a major event for my Han people. Since your family has been passed down for several generations, this thousand households are also sons of man, and I don't want to give up the incense of your white family. You also go out and join him. In the same way, it will be transferred to Kuding for listening on the same day."

"Thank you Qianhu!"

The sergeant surnamed Bai hurriedly kowtowed a few times on the ground like the young man. From beginning to end, he did not dare to look at the general flag Chen Mo and his companions, and then hurriedly exited the hall as if he had been amnesty.

After the two retreated, Chen Mo scolded with a "bah": "The two scumbags, don't ask me to see you again, otherwise I won't be able to forgive you!"

Zhou Shixiang stopped Chen Mo's complaints and said to them: "Okay, everyone who stays is willing to go. Now I will let Mr. Song tell you what to do."

Afterwards, Duke Xiang of Song explained the mission of sending them out of the city to attack the Qing army's Guangdong Navy at night, explaining how to get out of the city, how to use gunpowder, and how to approach enemy ships, and told them that there would be four more people at that time. go together.

Chen Mo asked which four they were, and Song Xianggong told him that they were Qi Hao and others who had defected to the city not long ago. When he heard it was Qi Hao, Chen Mo didn't say much, obviously he was relieved of this person.

After Song Xianggong explained the matter almost, Zhou Shixiang shouted: "Do you understand?"

The crowd responded with a bang: "Understood!"

"Mr. Song has said what you need to say. What else do you have to say?" Zhou Shixiang asked for the last time.

The men didn't have anything to say, but Chen Mo lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said, "This subordinate has nothing to say, it's no big deal, but before the subordinate goes down, please ask Qianhu to fulfill one of your subordinate's wishes. "

Zhou Shixiang said: "What wish? You said, but what this thousand households can do will be done for you." In his heart, he has decided to satisfy Chen Mo's request. After all, it is dangerous to go, and I am afraid that we will never be able to meet again in the future. .

Zhou Shixiang was guessing what Chen Mo's wish was and how to satisfy it at the time, but he didn't want Chen Mo but made a request that he didn't expect.

"My subordinate wants a woman!"

Chen Mo bravely made this request, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to let out a breath. He lowered his head and dared not look at Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong.

"woman?"

Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong stayed there. Neither of them thought that Chen Mo would make such a request, and they were at a loss for a while, not knowing whether to agree to him or not.

Seeing that Zhou Shixiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Mo muttered: "My subordinates are thinking about the possibility of dying, so I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to hug a woman and have a good time, so it's not in vain to die. "

Hearing this, Zhou Shixiang sighed secretly. He was really hesitant before, and even wanted to refuse, because the morality of his previous life made him unable to accept this kind of thing, just as he couldn't accept the act of selling women in the city. But he couldn't refuse Chen Mo's request, because he was a man who was about to die. Is it really impossible for me to meet the demands of the dying man, or the man who died because of his own decision?

The Taiping Army is not the iron army of later generations, and each of its members is not a soldier of later generations. All of them are living people, living people created by this troubled time~www.NovelMTL.com~ They are flesh and blood, and they are the simplest people. Simple people have simple thoughts, except to live for enjoyment and happiness, there is nothing wrong with this, because they are not Zhou Shixiang, they have no faith, they are simply living their lives. If they couldn't meet the simplest request of survival, why would Zhou Shixiang refuse their other request.

Perhaps, this is just a wish, and the wish should be fulfilled.

It didn't take long to think about it, Zhou Shixiang nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "I will grant you this wish, not only you, each of these brothers who are willing to die has a woman, I allow you to be in twelve I don't do anything during the hour, I only do it. Women."

The time of the night attack was set for the night after tomorrow. After Chen Mo took the people out, Duke Xiang of Song walked up to Zhou Shixiang with an embarrassed look and said, "Qianhu, the women's affairs are probably troublesome, and the women in the rear camp are all of our Taiping Army. The family is small, so it’s not easy to handle.”

"I have to do it! I will leave this matter to you. I don't care what method you use. In short, you have to find these women and hand them over to Chen Mo."

Zhou Shixiang's words were unquestionable, and Song Xianggong was not allowed to shirk. In desperation, Song Xianggong had to go to Liao Ruixiang to discuss and see how to provide women for these dead men. (To be continued)
