Chapter 1860 pull a militia group to protect themselves
Wei Wenguang, a big thief, was actually a big soldier who didn't know a word in his early days. He joined the army because his family was too down and had no way out. He was fooled into being a Lu officer and soldier in a confused manner. Then, he met his nobleman in the army of officers and soldiers.
In five years, the noble man taught him to read and read, and learned many truths. After the noble man died in battle, Wei Wenguang decisively escaped from the army. After thinking deeply for a month, he decided what to do in the future and rebel!
There is no future for being a military officer and soldier in Lu State. Corruption is rampant in the army. Most generals and generals are evil tigers who eat people and do not spit bones, and the officers and soldiers have no combat effectiveness. Once something happens in Lu State, such as pirates or bandits on the three major islands, once they appear, the officers and soldiers will be cannon fodder.
His noble man was killed in the process of suppressing bandits. The swords, guns, armor and armor sent from him were simply a magic pit. The transfer fee for going to the battle was severely deducted by his superiors, which made the entire army lose its morale and the people's hearts disintegrated. In the end, the bandits relied on the number of people and broke down in one breath.
How did that wave of bandits be destroyed? More than 2,000 elite servants who were collected by local gentry and tyrants were defeated.
At that time, Wei Wenguang was his nobleman's personal soldier.
He also had a certain reputation and influence in the official defeated army. When he decided to rebel in the future and to build momentum for the rebellion, his first team of private salt dealers was recruited from the defeated army of officers and soldiers.
Wei Wenguang was only 24 years old that year. He started a group of defeated soldiers and engaged in smuggling. After several years of training, he found today's seven brothers, hundreds of carefully trained talents, team leaders, and huge family business.
Don't underestimate those hundreds of team leaders.
Among the Lu** corps, five people and one team will be the leader, ten people and one team will be the leader, fifty people and one team will be the leader, and fifty people will be the leader, and a team will be the leader!
With hundreds of such grassroots teams, how much military force can be managed by expanding it?
"Actually, we have not had the chance until this year, which is also a blessing. If we had two or three years in advance, we would not have such sufficient confidence."
"Second brothers, you will take more than a dozen brothers to the north and south directions of Xuecheng Mansion. Once there are large-scale refugees, you will lead them to kill the local tyrants and share the grain. To disturb those two places, remember not to poison the countryside like real bandits. We will only kill the local tyrants and get the grain. We must strictly control the atmosphere."
"Xue Chengfu will be our foundation in the future, so we must not be confused!"
"When your momentum is ready, I will build a flag here, saying that I should guard against thieves and cholera to go to Xi County, and recruit a militia to protect themselves. I will manage the people of the county government. Once the militia is expanded and trained for one or two months, it will be a good soldier."
…………
When he ordered his brothers, Wei Wenguang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, without that noble man, how could he know so many truths?
It was said that the noble man said that the bandits in Lu State had no future. The geographical depth was too small, and there were plains everywhere. The high-level gentry and wealthy clans, as long as they gathered their private soldiers, they would be a very capable army. They rely on cavalry and ships. No matter where there is a large-scale bandit, they would easily be wiped out.
The thieves who appeared in the country of Lu have always been extinct due to disasters.
Such things actually further contributed to the strength of the gentry and wealthy clan of Lu. Every time there was a bandit chaos, the gentry from all over the country were full of fat food.
The officers and soldiers are just cannon fodder. If you can fight, try it. If it doesn’t work, the gentry will take over again.
Even in history, it was the Wangsan Rebellion that caused a sensation in Lu State more than 30 years ago... It was the rioter who rampaged the entire Feiyun Island and gathered more than 100,000 people, which was definitely called a big thief. However, the Wangsan Rebellion was the gentry and tyrants who were willing to let Wangsan gather more than 100,000 people.
Why let it go?
If you let it go, the more places Wang San harms, the more people will lose their land and family. Whether those people fled to the city to sell themselves or after the Wang San rebellion was suppressed, weren’t the hundreds of thousands of “bandit soldiers” all the human resources of the gentry and wealthy clans?
The Wang San Rebellion was eventually quelled, and it was only Yunzhou Prefecture. A group of top families gathered more than 20,000 elite soldiers of level D, and selected a person who was proficient in military strategies in a family, and slapped them in one breath.
The one who led the army later became the Minister of War of Lu. Before the Wang San Rebellion, he was just an ordinary juren without official titles.
The family that he lives in is still the first family on Feiyun Island, the Yao family.
In the current Lu State, the Yao family is also a circle of younger brothers from top wealthy families such as the Xiao family, and is comparable to the Tang family, the first family in Xiuyanzhou.
"In Lu State, there is no future for thieves. Only by becoming the overlord on the ground and implementing the military merits and field system can we defend it. After our militia was established, the number of soldiers was tens of thousands, and we would join with your loose team, the second and third brothers, and besiege the city! It is best to make plans and not give those wealthy families the opportunity to assemble their servants."
"In the process, as long as anyone makes meritorious, he will be granted land, and the dead in the battle will be given 50 acres of fertile land. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why did the pre-Qin Dynasty unify the world? It is because of the military merits and the titles, and the entire Qin State were happy to hear the war."
"If you sweep away the gentry and powerful people of Xiuyan Mansion and then issue all the fertile land to the soldiers in our army, they will be the ones who support us the most and have the most fighting spirit to protect their own land."
"As long as we conquer Xiuyan Mansion, our great cause will begin. We will gather 30,000 troops. Not only can we conquer Xiuyan Mansion, we can also defend it."
In the feudal era, there were tenant farmers and handicraftsmen who lost land everywhere. Judging from the degree of desire for land by the Chinese people, as long as you dare to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, you will respond countless times.
Afterwards, as long as the Qin system was fully implemented in the Xiuyan Prefecture area, the senior leaders of Lu would react and would be too late to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion.
Weijiazhuang is located in the west of Xiuyan Prefecture, more than 30 miles away, but this place is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Fucheng City, but under the jurisdiction of Shangxi County of Xiuyan Prefecture, with Weiwen Guang's reputation in the local area. As long as there is a large-scale civil unrest in the south and north, he will follow the trend and say that he will set up a militia to defend the village. It is very relaxing.
With his reputation of being righteous and wealthy, some good families came to join in groups to fight. This is the foundation of Wei Wenguang's hegemony. As long as the militia is trained, it will become a new army in a month and have never fought a real battle. Don't forget that the middle and grassroots units are all veterans who have been following Wei Wenguang for several years.
The noble man in the army once told him about history, the pre-Qin philosophers, and the hegemony of Qin Shihuang's unification of the world. He highly praised the Qin State's military merits and title system. As long as there are wars and merits, there will be everything in the fields and titles.
The entire Qin State was really happy when he heard about the war. The First Emperor relied on that system and was the first to be the emperor, which set a precedent in Chinese history.
Wei Wenguang also firmly believes that as long as he keeps his foundation and occupy the territory of Xiuyan Mansion, he will get better and better.
He is definitely not those mindless thieves.
The second brother of the seven brothers, Tong Yuan laughed loudly, "Brother, don't worry, I will take more than a dozen brothers out of the way, inciting a wave of thieves, it's easy. I also promise to do my best to train troops, train a small elite, and cross the army, and only kill local tyrants and evil gentry."
"As long as I follow me, no matter women, children, old and weak, I will have a bite of food."
