Whoever gives me meat, I will give my life to whoever, a very straightforward sentence, not impassioned, nor deafening, but it expresses the heart of this soldier, and also expresses the heart of all Taiping troops, including Tierenwei— They are not fighting for the sake of rejuvenating the Ming Dynasty, not for the sake of saving the Han family, nor for the purpose of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Chinese civilization, but simply to fill their stomachs and eat meat!

Zhou Shixiang was silent. These soldiers did not have lofty goals as they imagined, but they were only fighting to survive and have a piece of meat to eat. Having milk is what mother used to describe these soldiers, I am afraid it is very apt. Whoever keeps them full and whoever allows them to have meat to eat, they will die for whomever! They don't care who you are as long as you can eat your stomach, even if Zhu Tianzi, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang stands in front of them, if he can't come up with meat, these soldiers will probably tie Zhu Youlang and give it to them. in the hands of those who can give them meat. It's not about loyalty, it's about survival.

Zhou Shixiang was silent, but he was not angry. He couldn't say anything about the soldiers who didn't know one big character. It was absurd to expect these soldiers who didn't know one big character to understand the concept of nationality he was obsessed with.

Hugh said that these soldiers who didn't know big characters were the original Zhou Xiucai, so why wasn't Zhou Xiucai just an ordinary person who just wanted to live an honest life. , He thought more about how to survive in this chaotic era, how to make his wife and children worry about food and clothing, and how to get the title of Juren after Taiping. The inheritance of nation, country, and civilization has never been considered by ordinary people like Zhou Xiucai. They only focus on reality and only cherish the tangible benefits that can be seen and touched in front of them. These are the little people, but it is these little people who make up history, and their existence is history.

There is nothing to criticize. In this era of Ming and Qing Dynasties, most Han people are like Zhou Xiucai. As long as they can have a bite to eat, no matter how dark the government is, no matter how the government oppresses them, they will never They will not give their lives for the vain national righteousness. They should cut their hair and change their clothes. They will never think about why I do this, and why can't I do it? Don't do it. Those who have doubts resisted, and in the end they died, and the living would not pity them, but ridicule them for their lack of understanding of current affairs. In this world, only living has the right to speak, and the dead have no chance to refute others and blame others. It's been like this for thousands of years, people live like this, even hundreds of years later, isn't it the same? Being able to eat a full stomach is the greatest happiness for the Han people, who would have a cramp in their head to rebel.

If it weren't for the possession of a new soul, Zhou Xiucai, who was once timid and fearful of trouble, would never have taken the risk to Yu Yunlong's revenge. He would probably acquiesce to everything that happened to him. During the New Year holidays, they cry loudly in front of the empty graves of their parents, wives and children. After crying, they use their fame to re-marry their wives and have children, and gradually forget their dead relatives. This is a fact, a cold fact, just like Iron Man Guard just wants to be able to fill his stomach and be able to eat meat, it sounds surprising and speechless, but it is so realistic and so real.

Zhou Shixiang didn't scold the soldier who didn't know what to do, but happily said to him and all the iron-clad soldiers, "Follow me, and make sure you all have meat to eat!"

Only a simple promise can win the hearts of soldiers more than any famous sayings that can be passed down through the ages. Honghu's ambition", but they know who will have meat to follow, and what to do to ensure that they will have meat to eat.

What Zhou Shixiang has to do is to fulfill his promise. As long as his promise can be fulfilled, these iron guards will work hard for him to the end.

It's not that Zhou Shixiang was not without depression, because he also set up an army envoy in the Iron Man Guard, but now it seems that the work of these army envoys is not in place. This may be related to the fact that the army envoys themselves are ordinary people, or maybe It was because they were not trained enough. In short, the An Jun envoys in the Iron Man Guard were not able to play their role, which made Zhou Shixiang vigilant. He must strengthen the An Jun envoy's role in the army. Having milk is not a mother. It's a bad thing, but if Zhou Xiucai can't provide this milk, it's probably not a good thing.

After leaving the Iron Man Guard, Zhou Shixiang climbed the stone pagoda built by the local people to commemorate the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Daqiu. He went up to the top of the pagoda and looked at the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly remembered the past, that past Lili In the eyes, never forget.

"Why are you so good at worshipping me as a scholar?"

"The students' parents, wives and children are in the belly of the general. Today, the cold food is approaching. The students have nowhere to worship. If they don't worship the general, the students don't know where to worship?"

"You talented....really...really..."

"The students' parents, wives and children died tragically at the hands of the generals. Dare to ask the generals, should the students take revenge?!"

"......"

It is the simple wish of the Iron Guards to fill their stomachs and eat meat, and they fought desperately for this wish; revenge was the wish of Zhou Shixiang. The two wishes cannot be said to be superior or inferior, nor to be more noble, but they are closely linked and bound together. Zhou Shixiang couldn't take revenge on his own, he had to use everyone's efforts to take revenge, but the premise was that he had to fulfill his promise.

Defeating the enemy will naturally have meat to eat, and if there is meat to eat, more people will work for you.

Suna climbed up the mountain and asked Zhou Shixiang inexplicably why he sent someone to persuade him to surrender. At present, the Taiping Army and the Iron Man Guard are only 3,000 people, while the Qing army still has more than 10,000 people. Zhou Shixiang's persuasion is likely to arouse relief. Du's monstrous anger, if he recklessly presses all the troops up, the Taiping army with heavy casualties may not be able to defend Xuanwu Mountain. After all, the Qing army already knows the existence of the Iron Man Guard, and they can't advance again as before.

Zhou Shixiang did not answer Suna immediately, but asked the blind man Li to apply Jinchuang medicine to the wound on Suna's chin, and then took out the handkerchief Lin Wan'er gave him from his arms and carefully bandaged Suna's life. Just like taking a reclining chair to Yang Zhenwei, the commander-in-chief of Zhending, Suna's heart was put to death.

Zhou Shixiang told Suna to persuade him to surrender was just a bluff, in order to confuse the Qing army and make the other party think that the Taiping army on Xuanwu Mountain is still very strong and dare not attack again. The details, the higher Zhou Shixiang's posture, the more cautious the Qing army will be.

Zhou Shixiang asserted that Jidu would not attack again. Suna didn't say much, his life had been sold to Zhou Shixiang, and there was no way for him to go to Suna in Daqing. Ji Du was really going to go crazy, and he could only fight to the end.

Fortunately, Jidu was not crazy. The Qing army did not attack again. The next day also did not re-attack. Jidu received bad news on the third day. He stayed in Lu Feng to monitor the four Mongolians of the Taiping army in the city. Niu Lu ordered the Taiping army to defeat and return to Jieshi Guard.

Ji Du carefully inquired about the situation of the battle. Fang knew that after the main force of the Qing army had advanced northward, a Taiping cavalry from the south killed them from the direction of Haifeng. At the same time, the Taiping army in the city also sent a force to attack the Mongolian soldiers. The tactics of the army were quite similar to that of the Qi's army that was annihilated in the Hunhe River in Liaodong, causing heavy casualties among the Mongolian soldiers, and finally had to retreat. Now the Taiping army is heading towards Jieshiwei with the cooperation of the cavalry. It seems to have the intention of capturing Jieshiwei. Jidu was furious and immediately asked Su Rile to send Mongolian soldiers to quell the Taiping army, but Su Rile was very angry. When leading the cavalry over, the other party retreated to Lufeng City and did not fight with them at all. Facing Lufeng's tall city wall, Su Rile couldn't break through the city and had to lead his troops back.

At the same time, a war broke out in Xiamen, hundreds of miles away. Although Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping, refused the invitation of Zhou Shi to join forces to attack the Jidu army, he sent troops to launch an offensive against the Qing army in Zhangzhou, Fujian under the persuasion of Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, so as to contain the Qing army in Fujian.

Da Su, who was appointed by Shunzhi as the general of Annan, heard that Zhangzhou was attacked by Zheng Jun, and immediately transferred more than 20,000 people from Zhejiang Zhenming Andali's Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion Navy in coastal provinces to Fujian, and Da Su personally commanded it. More than 10,000 troops from Fujian's garrisoned Eight Banners and the Green Battalion entered Zhangzhou. After the arrival of Qing reinforcements, Zheng Jun relieved the siege of Zhangzhou and returned to Xiamen.

Seeing Zheng Jun retreating, Da Su actually wanted to attack Xiamen completely and completely wipe out Zheng Jun, so he directed the Qing army to attack Xiamen from Tong'an, Weitou, and Haicheng respectively. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Zheng Chenggong immediately commanded Zheng's army to fight after hearing the news. On the one hand, he sent the town general Chen Peng's department to guard Gaoqi against the Qing army from Tong'an, and he led the main force to gather in the sea area of ​​Haimen to meet the Qing army from Haicheng.

At dawn on the 26th of February, the Qing army set off from the sea to attack, and the Zheng army generals Zhou Rui and Chen Yaoce fought bravely and died heroically. Dasu sent the Zhejiang navy to attack Chen Hui, the general of the Zheng army. Chen Hui ordered his subordinates to fire artillery and set fire to a large number of Qing warships. The Qing army could not resist and retreated. At noon, there was a strong wind on the sea, and the waves were turbulent. Zheng Chenggong personally led the giant ship to smash the Qing army fleet. The household official, Jianping Hou Zheng Tai, also led the Zheng army from the Dajinmen side to join the battle. Dasu fled back to Quanzhou in a boat.

Two hundred Manchu soldiers fled to Dakinmen Island by boat in an attempt to defend and resist. Zheng Chenggong's general Ma Xin ordered people to lure the Manchu soldiers to surrender, and then disarmed his weapons and tied all the two hundred Manchu soldiers to big rocks at night and threw them into the sea to drown alive. . As for Gaoqi, Zheng Jun's defender Chen Peng secretly agreed that the Qing army planned to surrender. The Qing army from Tong'an thought that Gaoqi was within reach, so they relaxed their guards, but Chen Peng's subordinate Chen Mang refused to surrender, and led his subordinates to resist the Qing army. The Qing army was unprepared and was killed with blood. Countless Qing soldiers jumped into the sea and drowned. On the Gaoqi side, the Zheng army killed a total of more than 1,600 Qing troops and captured the Qing army commander Lu Hara. Upon hearing the news, Zheng Chenggong immediately arrested Chen Peng, who had defected, and replaced him with Chen Mang.

This battle severely damaged the vitality of the Qing army in Fujian, and the entire army of the navy transferred from Zhejiang was wiped out. Dasu did not dare to report to the Qing court according to the facts. . Zheng Jun also relieved the threat of the Qing army's attack on Xiamen on land, and made every effort to prepare for the battle of going north to the Yangtze River in July.
