Chapter 22: House Slaves
"What's your name?" Guo Xing asked ashamedly.
"Back to the old man, the villain is called a dog!" The thin black man apparently saw the hope of survival, and even the boy stopped crying.
"What's your name?" Guoxing Ashengsheng, who was immersed in self-blame and remorse, was pulled back by the sharp name of the black and thin man.
"Big man, the villain is called Dog Day." The thin black man was also a little embarrassed.
"What's your name?" Guo Xinga looked at the boy, for fear that he would say that he was called a dog mongrel. In that case, he will not only cross over, but also wear it in "Chivalrous Journey". Snow Mountain Pie? Changle Gang?
"The lord asked you! Talk back! Seeing that the young man was cowering, the thin black man hurriedly pushed the young man.
"My name is Li Genzi." The boy looked at Goxinga in fear.
"Isn't he your brother? What's your last name? Sworn brothers? The self-blame and shame were soon forgotten by Goxinga.
"Back to the eldest master, this is the villain's brother-in-law and a compatriot! The villains are all surnamed Lee. The thin black man hurriedly replied.
"Then why do you call it a dog? Nickname? Guo Xing'a carefully looked at the two brothers, they were all black and thin, and they were dressed in tatters, at most they were a minion soldier, and they were definitely not good bandits.
"The villain's real name is Li Zhi'er, and the leaders of the dog day are the names given to the villain by the leaders, and the villain is comfortable for a while." The thin black man had a flattering smile on his face again.
"These bandits, if you remember your name well, you will be called Li Zhi'er, and whoever dares to call you a dog will kill him." Guo Xing'a admired Li Zhi's friendship of sacrificing his life for his brother.
"Yes, yes, the villain will definitely remember his name in the future, Master Xie!" Li Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You two brothers are affectionate and righteous, I like it, join me as a soldier in the future!" Guo Xinga is thinking about strengthening his team, and these two brothers can get off to a good start.
"Master Xie lifts, Master Xie lifts!" Li Zhi pulled his younger brother and kowtowed to Guo Xing'a again and again.
"Fuquan, find two decent clothes for the two of them, get some food and let them pad the mat first!" Guo Xing'a and his horses walked towards Sai Shang'a, until Guo Xing'a's back was blurred, and the Li Zhi brothers were still kowtowing in the direction of Guo Xing'a's departure.
Guo Xing'a, who looked lonely, returned to the village to rest accompanied by several staff officers, and the miscellaneous team continued to clean up the battlefield. Although most of the core bandits escaped, the grain, grass, livestock, gold and silver they plundered were all cheaper than Goxing. The cavalry also dismounted and helped the assault team collect the heads on the battlefield, and finally burned more than 800 headless corpses.
After the whole team returned to the village, the miscellaneous team set up a temporary prisoner of war camp in the square in front of the temple and encircled more than 700 prisoners. Guo Xing'a, whose conscience was looming, also ordered a part of the captured miscellaneous grains to be divided, and boiled a large pot of batter to satisfy the hunger of the captives. The prisoners, who had been anxious all the time, saw that the officers and soldiers were handing out food, not only lined up to eat and drink in a regular manner, but also slept more soundly at night than Guoxing'a, and Hatan, who was snoring and noisy, did not sleep well.
When Guo Xing'a woke up the next day, several staff officers of Saishan'a had already taken Mu Shun and Fengsheng'a to wait in the courtyard. While washing his face, Guo Xing'a listened to Saishan's report. Except for a few more Hatan's subordinates, the leader had no casualties overall, but the capture was so rich that Saishan's face bloomed. The first article is that the seized clothing, farm tools, and weapons are not counted, but the clothes are classified by Goxinga as firewood and gifts for the captives, and the farm tools and weapons are also directly allocated as iron. The second is the seizure of a large amount of grain and grass, this Guo Xing'a has no objection, except for some miscellaneous grains of unknown composition that are counted as prisoner rations, the rest of the rice and white flour, Guo Xing'a still likes it very much. The third was the seizure of three oxen, eleven donkeys, and thirty-two mules and horses, which made Goxinga's eyes bend into crescents. The fourth is that the seizure of gold and silver is soft and incalculating, Guo Xing'a has no objections, and everyone has a "you know" smile.
"My lord, do you see if we leave the merit rewards of the minions, and then calculate the number, and report the merit to the Jiangnan camp together with the prisoners and captures!" Xiande is the most active one every time he submits his merits.
"Hmmm! What do you guys think! Goxinga nodded.
"My lord was too tired last night, and when you were resting, Xia Guan and a few other old people also discussed. Let's keep the grain and grass by ourselves, and report a fraction to the camp. Weapons and other useless things were sent to the camp along with the captives. Cows, donkeys, mules and horses are useless, so we all send them to the camp to ask for credit. "Sezanne also knew that the grain would have to stay.
"Send them all?" Goxinga was a little reluctant.
"The officials have prepared a report, my lordship, listen to it?" Sezanne knew that Goxinga would not break sentences. Guo Xinga also tried to popularize punctuation, but official documents can't be commas! Guo Xing'a understood, and the Jiangnan camp went crazy.
"Hmm!" Guo Xing'a unintentionally agreed, thinking about how to expand the team.
"Xiaguan Gu'an garrison inlaid with blue flags eleventh leader Guo Xing'a reported that on the night of June 23 in the ninth year of Xianfeng, more than 2,000 soldiers from Huaibei Caokou Zhenshan invaded our defense ground. Lai Jun was given the opportunity in front of the door, and the subordinate officials supervised the bloody battle for four days and nights, which was a big break in the bandit army. More than 30 leaders of all sizes were beheaded by the head of the bandits, more than 800 levels were beheaded, and 700 enemies were captured. A number of cattle, donkeys, mules and horses were obtained, and the grain, grass, soldiers, and equipment were not counted. Submit a report and ask for a military review. ”
"What do you think, sir?" The official documents of the Pavilion of Saizan have been written, but it is only a symbolic request for Guoxing'a, and in the eyes of everyone, Guoxing'a should have no opinions.
"Who is the Earthquake Roar?" Guo Xing'a is very curious about how this Huaibei grass Kou Zhenshan roar came out, and it seems that the relationship with the golden retriever roar is not far away.
"This, the lower officials and others asked a few minions, and the name of this group of bandits is called Zhenshan Roar." Cezanne is also an old fritter, and he still speaks calmly without drafts.
"Slash?" Guo Xinga remembered that the few bandit leaders in the core were not caught.
"The grass has been completely annihilated by our army, and the leaders of the big and small bandits have been given the heads, although some of the bandit leaders have been trampled into pulp by the rebellious army. However, the lower officials have already arranged for people to identify the heads, and I believe that the heads of several bandit leaders can still be found. "Saishan'a definitely has the bottom in his heart, just pick a few out of the head-level pile, and Lao Tzu will say that it is the leader of the bandits, and the prisoner dares to say no.
"The captives and horses are sent to the Jiangnan camp!" The more Guo Xinga thought about it, the more reluctant he became.
"My lord, it's useless for us to keep it! Send it to the camp to repay the merits, and you will definitely be able to exchange it for a lot of rewards. "Sezanne flickered like a child's toy.
"We can stay, too." Guo Xing'a also knew that it would be difficult to take prisoners and expand the group.
"What's the use of us leaving a bunch of garbage?" Saishana didn't understand the reason for Goxinga's slamming the door.
"Shall we form two more infantry companies?" Guo Xinga smiled shyly.
"What did you say?" Not only Saishan, but almost everyone jumped up and directly questioned Goxinga, forgetting even the honorific title.
"I want to recruit some prisoners and form two more infantry companies. We don't have enough troops, we don't even have enough to garrison this village, and we can't recruit more soldiers to feel at ease! Hehe! Guo Xing'a smirked as he spoke.
"Fifth master, our garrison of the Eight Banners is also a flag soldier, can't you come nonsense! This matter can be big or small, let's bring some Yu Ding Baoyi to fight in private, and you can fool the past, if you really recruit so many Han soldiers, you can't say anything about it! "Saishan'a is also really anxious, and even the fifth master who has not been used for a long time shouted out.
"Surrender and rebel!" Guo Xinga also knew that the reaction of these people would definitely not be small.
"Fifth master, recruiting and rebelling is not something that you can do!" Sweat was already visible on Xiande's forehead.
"Recruiting troops and buying horses to store weapons privately, do you know how big a crime this is? You can't do that! Sezanne said earnestly.
"Can't they be coated?" Guo Xinga played the curve to save the country.
"My fifth master! O my lord! Coating is also to be raised, is this something you can do? Don't talk nonsense! Guiwu was also so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"I'm recruiting for war! I can still rebel as a bannerman! Guo Xing'a pretended to be aggrieved, but the second half of what he said was from his heart.
"What a terrible man! It's nothing for you to take one or two house slaves, recruit hundreds of Han people as soldiers, and anyone will have to join you! Sezanne was so anxious that his hands trembled.
"Is it okay to take a house slave?" Goxing Ade's triangular eyes flashed with wisdom.
"Yes, yes, but you ...... Yes! Xiande subconsciously agreed, and immediately reacted.
"What do you want to do?" Saishan'a knew in his heart that Goxinga had another ghost idea.
"No recruitment, yesterday I saw that the friendship between the two brothers is valuable, I appreciate it, and I decided to accept a few such affectionate and righteous people as house slaves." Guo Xing's eyes narrowed with a smile.
"How many people are you going to take?" Saishan Ake knew that Guo Xing'a had lost his memory and played side balls, and he was already addicted to playing.
"How much to leave for the military gate to repay the merits, I will accept three hundred people!" Guo Xing'a looked like he was at a loss.
"Three hundred house slaves?" Sezanne asked, gritting his teeth.
"Hmmm! Well! "Guo Xing'a sells cuteness hard.
"Fifth master! What do you raise three hundred slaves! "Guiwu is more generous in considering the problem.
"Fighting! They only eat the seizures, and they will never move a tael of silver in the public! "In the world of Goxinga, there are soldiers and guns, and there is everything.
"What if the battle is over?" Xiande really couldn't understand how an ordinary eunuch could feed three hundred slaves.
"If there is no more fighting, I will send them home." Guoxing Ake knew that this battle would not be fought until his twentieth birthday.
"To the outside world, let's say that it is the fifth master and a few of our house slaves, and then count Hatan and Actun as them, let's divide the family!" Saishan'a knew that Guoxing'a was the king of the eight who ate the scales, and if he continued to argue, he might not know what would happen, so he simply agreed. also knew that the three hundred house slaves were too eye-catching, so they simply pulled everyone to carry the black pot together.
"Please, guys!" Goxinga stood up and bowed to the ground.
"Fifth master, don't worry!" Everyone sighed and agreed.
"But there are three hundred people missing, what should I do with the following achievements?" Mu Shun asked with a bitter face.
"Is it a great credit for fighting bandits, or a great credit for fighting the Taiping Army?" Without waiting for Saishan'a to reply to Mu Shun, Guo Xing'a hurriedly asked.
"Naturally, it is a great credit for sending bandits!" Xiande and others have become accustomed to the name of the Guoxinga Taiping Army. In fact, Guo Xing'a didn't know that the Qing army was called the Taiping Army bandits, and the Taiping Army claimed to be a heavenly soldier, and he was the only one called the Taiping Army.
"Then we are fighting the Taiping Army." Guo Xing'a changed his scheming appearance again.
"Bandit, this ......" Saishana was embarrassed to say that Guo Xing's lie was too big.
"Uncle Sai, do you remember what the Taiping Army flag was captured last time! I remember that when the miscellaneous team was cleaning the battlefield, they found a few similar ones, and if you go to the miscellaneous team to look carefully, there must be one. Goxinga pursed his lips and looked at Cezanne like eighty thousand.
"Yes!" These two words Saishana said very slowly, of course he knew that Guo Xing'a was asking him to go to the miscellaneous team to make a few more flags.
"Look old! Let's change the submission! Goxinga's eyes swirled back and forth.
"How do you say to change it?" Xiande also had the consciousness of getting on the thief ship.
"Xiaguan Gu'an garrison inlaid with blue flags 11th Zuo Leader Guo Xing'a reported that on the night of June 23 in the ninth year of Xianfeng, more than 2,000 people under the command of Li Xiuzhen committed our defense. Lai Jun was given the opportunity in front of the door, and the subordinate officials supervised the bloody battle for four days and nights, which was a big break in the bandit army. More than 30 bandit leaders below Li Xiuzhen, the leader of the bandits, beheaded more than 800 people, and captured 400 enemies. A number of cattle, donkeys, mules and horses were obtained, and the grain, grass, soldiers, and equipment were not counted. Submit a report and ask the military gate to review "Guo Xing'a almost memorized the submission just now, but changed the enemy and easily erased the number of people who were intercepted.
"The adults are smart, and the lower officials admire them. But there is no such person as Li Xiuzhen in the nearby bandit army! Xiande really admired Guo Xing'a's shorthand ability, and at the same time wondered how Guo Xing'a made up the name Li Xiuzhen.
"Doesn't the Taiping Army have a loyal king named Li Xiucheng! The devil knows who Li Xiu really is! "Goxinga snorted.
"Xia Guan understands!" Xiande is also a light in his eyes.
"You will decide on the specifics, and report to the Jiangnan camp!" Guo Xing'a looked proud, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was not in vain!
"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials and others will definitely be arranged." Saishana and the others replied together.
Everyone talked about arranging the beginning and end of the retribution, and Guo Xing'a gave everyone a smile again. Everyone was still dissatisfied with Guo Xing'a's recruitment of Han soldiers, but their ancestors had been on errands under Yehenala's family for generations, and Guo Xing'a had a smiling face again, so everyone had to pinch their noses and admit it.
"If you want to expand, you have to bring up a few company commanders, who do you think is more suitable?" Guo Xing'a took the opportunity to propose the expansion arrangement.
"I wonder what your lordship has arranged?" There are all high-grade old fritters here, and no one will jump out directly like Hatan.
"That's what I think, the center of the leadership will remain the same, and I will pick some suitable children in the guard class. In the future, it was still divided into two parts, and the commando team was expanded into an assault company, and the cavalry was also expanded into a cavalry company, forming an assault battalion together, and Mu Daxia was the battalion commander. On the basis of the second company, two more companies were expanded to form an infantry battalion, and Feng Shenga was also the battalion commander. If there are still wealthy manpower, expand the sniper squad into a reconnaissance platoon. That's probably it! "Goxinga is a little bit unsatisfied.
"The adult submission is not in a hurry to send it, and the next official will draft it later!" Xiande can see that according to Guoxing's expansion idea, three hundred people can't stop it at all.
"No hurry, no hurry. Look, the cavalry company, the assault company, the first, second, and third infantry companies must have five company commanders at once! Originally, it was generally tall, and it was going to be divided into big and small kings! Let's do it, guys! "Goxinga also feels a little tricky, the new company commanders must be from the current platoon commanders. It's a pity that there are many platoon commanders and few positions for company commanders!
"There is no problem with the cavalry company Shirab, but the assault company Hatan and Duosan are not easy to do!" Mu Shun has to be straightforward and quick in the old fritters, and his assault battalion actually has the smallest problems. Shirab has a high prestige in the cavalry, and his qualifications are much stronger than that of the fourth platoon commander, Kangfu, so there is no suspense. The only thing that is a little difficult to do is the assault company, Hatan and Duosan have similar qualifications, and Hatan is brave and cautious, which can be said to have their own strengths.
"Don't chill the hearts of the brethren! Each platoon commander should be promoted by one liter! What's the name of that platoon commander with four platoons? "Guo Xing'a is ready to sell his private goods, but he really can't remember the name of the not-so-brilliant Kangfu.
"My lord, his name is Kangfu!" The black line at one end of Mu Shun.
"Hmmm! Let's be an instructor with Fukang! "Goxinga officially launched its own private goods.
"Instructor?" Everyone couldn't understand the meaning of the instructor, and they didn't bother to correct the name that Guo Xing'a had reversed.
"The company commander mainly commands operations, and the instructors mainly grasp life and thinking, and assist in commanding operations. The two are of equal rank, mainly company commanders in wartime and instructors in peacetime. Everyone's been promoted! Hey! Guo Xing'a was afraid of showing his feet, so he didn't dare to put too much effort into the two words of thought.
"Your Excellency!" Everyone praised it even one after another, thinking that Guo Xing'a had made a plan to make peace, and they knew how powerful the political cadres were.
"Let's do the same with the infantry company! The remaining platoon commander will be turned into an instructor, and I will send two people down from the guard squad to live together! Guo Xing'a took the opportunity to install two more close people.
"Don't worry, my lord, the next official will definitely make arrangements." Fengsheng bowed down and agreed. Although Guo Xing's cronies did a very conspicuous job, the entire leader was his, and Fengsheng Ah Zhi didn't have any ideas.
Feng Sheng'a was very good at being a person and discussed with Xiande and other staff officers, and finally selected Acton, Tong Jia, and Nash as the new company commanders, and the unlucky Degui had to be transferred to the instructor of Nash's third company. Everyone discussed all the matters in front of them again, and only then did several staff officers accompany the two new battalion commanders to go to the new company commanders for a meeting. Officers above the platoon commander must be a flag man, which is the bottom line of Cezana and others. Guo Xing'a didn't want the untrained prisoners to be the platoon commander directly, so he just made a concession by pushing the boat down the river.
It was not until the afternoon that the personnel problem was settled, and Guo Xing took the newly formed officer corps with him and began to recruit people among the prisoners. Hearing that the officers and soldiers were going to recruit some people, the prisoners were very excited, after all, the soldiers ate food and food was guaranteed. However, although the captives spontaneously signed up, Guoxing's pickers still had conditions. Mu Daxia, who studied the structure of the human body, led the team, assisted by Wu Xiuming, the first batch of Xiaolang who surrendered to Cheng, and screened half of the people according to their physical conditions.
The more than 380 selected captives were all excited, and it was a joy for them to be transformed from bandits to officers and soldiers.
"Li Zhi, come here." Guo Xing'a didn't pay attention to the excited winners, but beckoned to Li Zhi, who was the first wave of surrenders.
"Please command, sir!" The well-fed Li Zhi also learned how to call Guoxinga.
"You go and find out who among these people has been the little leader of the bandits." Goxinga pointed to the selected crowd.
"Your Excellency?" Mu Shun was very puzzled, the little boss usually eats better than the minions and hungry people, and his physical fitness is undoubtedly the best among the captives.
"I don't want to mess with bandits, who understand!" Gohinga's voice became unquestionable again.
"Huh!" While Mu Shun agreed, Li Zhi actually learned to agree.
Li Zhi quickly found out a few small leaders he knew, and the unsuccessful captives also had the mentality of dying together, and helped find a few of them. The guards rushed in again and ordered the selected ones to report themselves, and soon several more small leaders were found and sent back to the prisoners.
In line with the principle of due diligence, Li Zhi wanted to look more carefully, and suddenly he saw a familiar figure. This man once made his brother kill people, once gave himself three loaves, once was his own little leader, and once almost beat himself to death in one night. This person looked at himself in decline, and Li Zhi still remembered his name - Cao Meng.
