Chapter 37 What if it's the other way around!
The relationship between the Tatar government and the people is as magical as the eternal Möbius strip - the government does not trust the people, and the people also do not trust the government.
In normal times, even if the common people were oppressed by the government, they would probably choose to endure it because they did not want to fight with the government. However, after experiencing the feeling of being a straight-backed man, Zhu Xiaosong, who always likes to help others,
For the sake of Ji Yu's help, the people were unwilling to tolerate it any longer.
Therefore, when Mingxing sent people to various villages to recruit young people, what they faced were not the usual obedient sheep-like people, but vicious wolves with fangs exposed.
Shao Bing once said that a wolf cannot defeat a lion, but a pack of wolves can be invincible!
When the Qing soldiers dispersed to recruit young people, the young men of each village would assemble to resist under the command of the peasant association; when they gathered to recruit young people, these villages would use means such as lighting fires as a signal, falling trees as a signal, etc. to call nearby villages to rush out.
Come for reinforcements.
The entire Mengyin area was in chaos.
What makes Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, even more desperate is that the two thousand vests plus two thousand broken troops under his command, as well as the more than one thousand broken troops under Chen Tailai, have been frightened to death, even though their own numbers have an absolute advantage.
, can also magically defeat thousands of miles when facing the common people.
Mingxing held the chicken drumstick with no meat in his hand and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Yes, the latest operation to force young men to recruit young people failed again. The biggest result was to get back a few chickens, but the price was the loss of two river soldiers under Chen Tailai again.
Mingxing threw the chicken legs aside, sighed, and told Chen Tailai, Wu Zude and others: "Let's go back to Yanzhou Mansion first."
However, Chen Tailai ignored Mingxing. Instead, when Wu Zude and others agreed, he looked thoughtfully at the defeated soldiers lying on the ground fighting for chicken bones.
Seeing that Chen Tailai didn't answer, Mingxing couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and shouted: "Chen Tailai! I'm talking to you!"
Chen Tailai did not admit his mistake as sincerely as Mingxing imagined. Instead, he looked at the chicken wings in his hand, then at the defeated soldiers, and said with a smile: "I just feel that we are not as good as them."
Quite similar."
"As long as the Long Live Lord throws two meatless bones from his mouth, we people will rush like hungry dogs and snatch our heads. The Long Live Lord will laugh out loud."
"But we have never thought about why we have to snatch rotten bones that have neither meat nor taste that are thrown away after being eaten? Why can't we eat meat?"
Mingxing felt a shiver in his heart and wanted to get angry, but due to the situation at hand, he did not dare to push Chen Tailai too much, so he just frowned and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about! We are slaves, so naturally we have to
Are you fighting for the bones thrown down by the master, do you still want to eat meat?"
Chen Tailai nodded seriously, looked at Mingxing and said: "Master Futai, you are the slave of Lord Long live, so you have to fight for the bones thrown by Lord Long live, instigating the two of you and wagging your tail at the same time, but, I
Chen Tailai is not Long Live Lord’s slave! I can’t be a slave even if I want to!”
Mingxing was furious in his heart, but he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "If you want to be the slave of Lord Long Live, then after Zhu Ni is defeated, I will personally act as a guarantor and carry the flag for you. How about that?"
?”
Chen Tailai did not answer Mingxing's question directly, but shook his head and said: "I have been thinking recently, we obviously have knives and guns in our hands, why can't we kill Zhu Xiaosong? Also, we can't kill Zhu Xiaosong.
Forget it, why is it that even a strong man is driven away by those mud-legged people?"
"Later, I figured it out."
"The reason why Zhu Xiaosong, the rebel bandit, cannot be eliminated is because those mud-legged people are facing him. If we want to suppress him, those mud-legged people will inform Zhu Ni in advance, so we haven't found Zhu Ni's shadow yet. He
I’ve already left early.”
"There are also those mud-legged people. The reason why they turned against Zhu Ni is because Zhu Ni killed officials and released grain. He neither forced those mud-legged people to rebel against him nor robbed those mud-legged people of their homes."
"On the other hand, we officers and soldiers, look at it, we're fucking pulling young men, and we're fucking robbing other people's chickens. Let's just grab them. But we only managed to grab a few of them. We're worse than rebels."
Having said this, Chen Tailai took another deep breath and said: "Before, I thought about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, but later, I found that this was not the case!"
"Wu Zude gave you money, so you can be safe even if traitors like Zhu Ni emerge under his rule. Yan Xiangqing also gave you money, so you can still be his magistrate even if there is a peasant association under his rule."
"And what about me? Just because I didn't send you any money, you should send my river mark to die?"
Chen Tailai became more and more angry as he spoke, and in the end he simply pointed at Mingxing and cursed: "Damn it, you said you were raising the flag for me, when I didn't know that this was a delaying strategy? A Tatar, after two days of studying, he is just like his mother
Do you think you really know how to fight?"
"So, you don't have to carry the flag for me. Anyway, if you carry the flag, you are still a slave. When you are a slave, you have to grovel. On the contrary, you are not as good as those mud-legged people in the peasant association, who can still hold up their heads and straighten their backs."
Mingxing was furious. He stood up with a roar, pointed at Chen Tailai and cursed: "You are so courageous! You are rebelling!"
As Mingxing's words fell, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence, and then there was a burst of clanging sounds, but a few Manchu vests not far behind Mingxing were holding knives in their hands, thinking
We must capture Chen Tailai more and more.
Chen Tailai was not afraid at all. He stretched his fingers to his mouth and whistled, then he took the knife in his hand and said with a wild laugh: "Yes, I am rebelling! So what if I rebel!"
As Chen Tailai's words fell, Chen Tailai's soldiers looked at each other, each with their own swords in hand, blocking Chen Tailai's left and right.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, and it might be a fatal fight, Wu Zude hurriedly came to Mingxing's side, and said to Mingxing with a smile: "Governor Chen must be drunk and talking nonsense. Mr. Futai is absolutely sure."
Don't get along with him."
After finishing speaking, Wu Zude said to Chen Tailai: "Governor Chen, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your parents, wife and children. Why are you talking nonsense here after drinking two taels of cat urine? Not yet.
Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Futai! Mr. Futai is so magnanimous, surely he won’t be the same as you?”
Mingxing snorted coldly and turned his gaze elsewhere. The meaning could not be more obvious - as long as Chen Tailai admits that he drank too much cat urine and talked nonsense, then I will just pretend that none of this happened.
However, Chen Tailai did not appreciate it at all. Instead, he laughed and said: "If it weren't for the fact that I had more than a thousand soldiers under my command, and if it weren't for the fact that Mingxing only had two thousand Manchurian vests under his command, he would have refused to follow me.
General knowledge?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Tailai looked at Wu Zude and others and said loudly: "Now Shanxian has rebelled, Mengyin has rebelled, and the Qing Dynasty is approaching. If you are willing to continue to be dogs for the Tatars, you will! Don't pull me away.
!”
Mingxing could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He pointed at Chen Tailai and cursed twice in a row, "Reverse! Contrary!" After cursing, Mingxing ordered a group of Manchu vests: "Take it down!"
Chen Tailai was not afraid at all. Instead, he directly charged at Mingxing - Mingxing was the backbone of Two Thousand Horse Armor. As long as Mingxing died, Two Thousand Horse Armor would not be a concern, and the soldiers behind him were He Biao.
The defeated troops were all recruited from their hometown. There was no need to even think about what they would choose!
Mingxing was horrified and wanted to pull Wu Zude and others to stop him from moving forward. However, Wu Zude and others saw that the situation was not good and had already made preparations to grease the soles of their feet when Mingxing ordered the vests to capture Chen Tailai.
, now seeing that Mingxing wanted to use him and others as scapegoats, Wu Zude and others simply refused to do anything and ran away while shouting that Chen Tailai had rebelled and Mingxing had died for his country.
This time the fun is even greater.
The Manchurian vests around Mingxing naturally knew that Mingxing was still alive, but the other Manchurian vests did not know that, so some of the vests wanted to protect Mingxing, and some wanted to capture Chen Tailai, but many more did not.
He was running away with Wu Zude and others.
On the other hand, the soldiers around Chen Tailai, these people are all Chen Tailai's fellow soldiers, and they usually receive many favors from Chen Tailai. At this time, they are desperately protecting Chen Tailai from killing Mingxing, but they are killing Mingxing's soldiers and vests.
They were defeated step by step.
There is a saying in the art of war: Defeat is like a mountain falling.
Although there is a saying that fighting a war means fighting logistics, this statement is based on the strategic level. On the tactical level, fighting means comparing who has a stronger fighting will and who is less afraid of death. Whoever has a stronger fighting will and is less afraid of death wins.
, those who have a weak will to fight and are timid and afraid of death.
The winner lives, the loser dies.
This is why we should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically.
Now, it is obvious that Chen Tailai and his Hebiao soldiers are not afraid of death, but Mingxing's side is relatively chaotic, so that Mingxing, the governor of Shandong, can only be escorted by a few personal soldiers to escape.
As for the remaining Manchurian vests... let them live or die, Mingxing can't care about them anyway.
On the contrary, Chen Tailai, who had defeated Mingxing, was in high spirits at this time. After summoning a group of soldiers and a group of river soldiers, he shouted: "We have defeated the Tatars today. It is already a serious crime of treason and beheading.
If you guys don’t want to die, then follow us and continue to rebel!”
One of Chen Tailai's soldiers looked up at Chen Tailai and said: "Sir, all the brothers are following you. You treat your brothers well. If you want to lead us in rebellion, my brothers will definitely be fine with you!"
After finishing speaking, the soldier looked at the other soldiers and the river soldiers, and said loudly: "The Governor treats us well, but the Tatars don't treat us as human beings! Now the Governor wants to lead
If we fight against the Qing Dynasty, we will definitely follow the Governor, don’t you think so?”
Chen Tailai saw that most of the responders were his own soldiers, but the river soldiers were a little hesitant. He laughed loudly and said, "Everyone has just fought with the Tatars, and they are just like birds."
!”
At this point, Chen Tailai said with a threatening tone: "Don't forget, you just killed many soldiers from the Green Camp and also killed many officials. This is already treason!"
"Brothers, if Zhu Ni can occupy Mengyin and fight against the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Shandong himself can't suppress Zhu Ni even if he leads his troops. How can he suppress us? Therefore, we will not stop doing anything and fight directly back to Jining.
Go and fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
