The vast majority of the Twist Party and Twist Army in Northern Anhui are formed on the basis of clans, and the "Voryang County Chronicles" call it "sect thieves". Each twist is often a family. The more people of the same clan, the greater the twisting force, and vice versa. Most of the famous leaders of the above-mentioned twisted army belong to the big clans and surnames who live in the big clans; There are only four or five hundred people under his command, Han Mao, the southwest master of Yimen, and Gao Jiu, the main master of the northwest line, and their clans are less than 100 households. There are also twisted party non-clan combinations, such as Yimen set five miscellaneous places, miscellaneous surnames, its twist head is from Shandong fled from the famine Liu Urine (i.e., Liu Xueyuan, Da Lao Yuan), Liu Dog (i.e., Liu Yuyuan, Er Lao Yuan), Liu San madman, Liu Sima brothers. However, the Liu brothers were originally a family, and they formed a township organization with an interactive and symbiotic relationship with other family escapees and hundreds of foot men who traveled with hundreds of foot husbands. In such an organization, the political and economic centripetal force and cohesion should be comparable to that of the clan organization. These large and small clans, with the same big background and different small backgrounds, "twisted" in their respective settlements, each erected a banner, each set up a polder, and divided troops to guard, and the area under their jurisdiction ranged from one or two miles to dozens of miles. Zhang Lexing is based on the village where he lives, first his own branch, and then his own clan, and gradually expands the scope to the nearby Zhang Dazhuang, Zhang Lou, Zhang Shuangzhuang, Zhang Xiaomiao and other places where the surname Zhang lives, forming a twist army of nine miles and eighteen zhang. In addition to kinship, the Twist Army also uses geographical and friend relationships to develop and expand the team.

Monk Greenqin silently thought about Zhang Lexing's information, and said to a cadre of generals in the tent: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the will says that we should be completely annihilated, not urgent, then we must clear the Hehuai area, since they are in Bozhou Huimeng, let's follow them and go to Bozhou to have a look!" ”

"Wow!"

"Military Judge," Monk Grinqin was really disgusted with those Eight Banners waste who walked birds and smoked all day long, not to mention that he had no combat effectiveness, and he was very timid, and when he saw the dust raised by the horses' hooves of the Twisted Army, he turned around and fled, and several times he almost disrupted the position of the Chinese army, and he had no choice but to pick some of the people who were quite good into the Eight Banners Guard Barracks, only for guards, and did not want them to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the rest of the unusable ones were all sent to the back to carry the equipment, and today's artillery shot and scared away a group of people. Fortunately, he was stopped by the cavalry of the Jianrui battalion, and took it all in one, and now he is tied to the back account waiting for his own delivery, "The one who takes the lead in escaping will be cut in front of the battle immediately, and the name will be reported to the household department, Su Shun told the king, if it is in the Eight Banners who escaped, just tell him that all the flags in the family will be opened; If you follow the run, you will hit thirty boards, and if there is a next time, you will not be spared. "If it weren't for the emperor's painstaking efforts to let the children of the Eight Banners of Manchuria see blood, so that they would not watch the flowers and walk the birds and smoke a lot of cigarettes every day, Su Shun would have borrowed the knife in his hand to kill people, so that people could convincingly open the flag, so as to save some silver and pay to support the army's food and salary, and according to their own temperament, all of them would be dispersed on the spot.

"Wow."

Monk Greenqin also told the land of northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu with the customs defense of the minister, ordered the wall to clear the wilderness, catch up with the summer grain, "do not give the enemy what grows", and wrote in Luzhou The Anhui governor Jiang Zhongyuan, the first line of the Huai River, do not let the two thieves in the north and south converge, Li Hongzhang, who is the most good at being a man, also sent a part of the foreign guns and foreign cannons bought by Britain and France, and sent them to the camp of the monk king in Bozhou, and the monk Greenqin tried it, which was far more convenient and faster than China's own products, and Emperor Xianfeng asked the whole army to be equipped with foreign guns and foreign cannons, Emperor Xianfeng had no intention of not allowing it, and ordered Mu Yang'a to "contact Yangyi and purchase firearms".

Jin Jinbao is a banner man under the red flag, the old surname of Manchuria, Wanyan, every day is stealing chickens and dogs, going upstairs to lift tiles, digging the ground to dig the master, but he used to learn a few words in the flag, not blind eyes, because he is 16 years old this year, last year twice called the children of the Eight Banners to follow the monk Greenqin south to join the army, were dragged down on the grounds that the age is not reached, this is still his maternal uncle in the flag as an errand, to help avoid errands.

Although he grew up under the pampering of his parents and family, Jin Jinbao is not a pampered master, and he is a hob meat in Su Ri, even a few days ago, his uncle called him and said, "You are sixteen years old this year, and you can't avoid this errand to the south." You should also plan ahead. ”

"Then let's go if we want to, don't go if we don't want to go."

"You kid is light!" Jin Jinbao's uncle blew his beard and glared, and slapped the table several times angrily, "Right now, Su Shun is in charge of the flag affairs, he has already asked the emperor for an order, if he violates the order and does not join the army, the whole family will immediately open the flag, and he will no longer be a member of our Eight Banners!" When the time comes, there will be no flags and salaries, and I will see your family go to drink the northwest wind! ”

Jin Jinbao was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't care, "Then go, Lao Tzu is afraid of anyone, but you always have to help take care of the family." ”

"This is still for you bastard boy to say, but I heard that a lot of people have been killed in the camp of Seng Lingqin, and they all escaped from the battle, if you do such a thing, go as soon as possible, and then the flag will still be raised, and you will be beheaded, and you will lose the face of your Jin family and uncle!"

"Come on, my uncle...... You're a broken mouth. ”

Jin Jinbao lay on the kang and grinned, the stick wound on the buttocks was not a joke, full thirty times, no less, not light, he was not running away, but the horse under the crotch was not angry, at first glance he heard the roaring sound of the cannon and suddenly pierced, and he galloped out with a bang, and the riding skills he had learned so hard to learn were completely useless, so he was taken out by the horse, but fortunately, he was not really mixed, the flag man who came early a few days ago mentioned his face to his ear, and he must not escape from the battle, this is a ruthless heart, He threw himself off his horse, almost fell into the mud, and was beaten alive with thirty sticks.

The third brother of Aunt Jin Jinbao's grandmother took a bowl of soup and medicine into the tent, and looked at Jin Jinbao grinning on the kang lying on the kang in Ji'an, and couldn't help but smile: "You kid, you are really fateful, and you fly off the horse quickly, otherwise at this time, your head will be hanging at the door of the barracks." ”

"The head has a bowl-sized scar, it's not a problem," Jin Jinbao didn't care, "If it's because of the horse's stumbling, we die of grievance and send it back to Sijiu City, it's really embarrassing, hiss, ouch, my ass." ”

"This is a few red ribbons, I saw it coldly, there is a kid who is still a distant relative of Prince Yi." Jin Jinbao's third brother was amazed, "This handsome man really dares to kill!" ”

"What do you care about other people's business, third cousin, give me the medicine quickly, and the army will march tomorrow, right? Don't miss the time when the time comes, let's eat the head again, we entered this place, it's useless to cry, we can only be on an errand, fortunately," Jin Jinbao patted his chest, looking afraid, "Fortunately, we don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as we protect the Chinese army and escort the weapons, there is no chaos outside, we are not in danger." ”

"Come on, we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, just rely on your three-legged cat riding skills?" The third cousin made fun of Jin Jinbao, "At least it has to be a hero like our Jianrui Battalion Garrison, and he single-handedly captured Hou Lin Fengxiang!" A few days ago, he made a great contribution and helped Dashuai destroy a thief in Luyi County. ”

"Cousin, don't talk about the eldest brother or the second brother, we are all the same people, you came earlier than me, didn't you also help carry knives and guns, don't you underestimate me, I will practice equestrianism well tomorrow, no matter how bad it is, I must practice the big knife well, when Uncle Jin catches him, I will always kill him a few rebels!"

"Come on, you're amazing, my cousin just watched when you became a big official, looking at your urine, at least you have to be a general of the third grade, right?"

"What is a general," Jin Jinbao drank the medicine, frowning bitterly, but continued to brag, "At least it must be the identity of our handsome, the hereditary iron hat prince!" ”

"Blow you, don't talk about catching up with the military garrison in the future, it's always a blessing for your Jin family to catch up with your cousin."

"Hey, third cousin, don't look down on me......"
