Chapter Thirty-six The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying(1/2)
The city flag changes.
The original flying flag of the Hu family has long since disappeared. It was replaced by a flag with the word "mountain" flying in the wind, stained with a little bright red blood, and particularly conspicuous.
The smell of blood at the gate of the city was so strong that it could not be dispelled. The land was soaked with blood and dyed black and red, making people sick.
As new recruits, the soldiers of the Qingshan Army experienced the cruelty of war for the first time.
Lu Qingshan glanced around, scanning the dark faces stained with blood.
Suddenly, he laughed and asked: "Boys, who personally killed someone in this battle? How many were killed?"
"I...kill!"
"I killed one!"
"I killed one too!"
"One is nothing, I killed two!"
"Are you proud of two? Grandpa, I killed two and a half!"
Lu Qingshan found out the soldier who said he killed two and a half, "You little bastard is dishonest, how come you still have half an explanation for killing someone?"
The soldier who was found was very young, but his eyes revealed a cunning and clever energy.
Lu Qingshan still has an impression of him. He was the first person to hit Manager Hu with a stone.
"That's right, Xiao Haizi, how dare you brag in front of the general!" The others followed with good-natured laughter.
The young soldier, who was called a child, blushed. He pointed at the soldier next to him and raised his head and said, "I'm not bragging. If my sword cuts down, that guy will definitely be separated from his body and head. It's him."
If you want to come over and help me, I stab that guy in the side first, then stab him to death and steal my head!"
"There is no such thing as snatching heads on the battlefield. Of course, whoever kills will get his head." The soldier was not convinced either.
"Boys, there is no need to argue. On the battlefield, swords and swords really have no eyes. Whoever kills will naturally have merit in battle. But don't be depressed. I will count half of the heads for you today." Lu Qingshan laughed, boldly.
road.
"In the future, when killing enemies on the battlefield, remember to draw your sword quickly, and don't let others beat you first." After a pause, Lu Qingshan asked again: "Little bastard, how old are you this year and what is your name?"
The young soldier's face was red, but this time it was not red, but excitement.
"General, I am fourteen this year. As for my name, it is Xiao Haizi."
He was a slave, and slaves don't have last names.
"Xiao Haizi is not good, it's like a eunuch name. If you go out to register for a number in the future, you will lose your identity." Lu Qingshan thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Since you don't have a surname, then you can use my surname. From now on, you will be called
Land and sea.”
"Thank you, General, for the surname!" Lu Hai couldn't conceal his inner excitement, and knelt down on one knee and said loudly.
The surrounding Qingshan troops cast envious glances.
This is regarded as a surname given to the family, which represents the respect for Lu Hai.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said: "Let's clean up the battlefield first. Don't let down your guard. This has just begun, and the road to revolution is still long."
........
The Qingshan troops obeyed the order and quickly dispersed, cleaning the battlefield and counting losses.
In this battle, even though Lu Qingshan was so brave, the Qingshan Army, which had only been trained for twenty days, still had many problems, so the losses were not small.
Of course, the gains are also not small. Not to mention taking Anling City, after this battle, with the loss of personnel, the remaining Qingshan Army are no longer new recruits, and their quality has improved to a higher level.
Lu Qingshan led his army to seize the inner city, which was the Hu family's mansion. Their defense force was basically exhausted in the defense of the city, so the final clearing was completed very smoothly.
Lu Qingshan showed extreme cruelty towards the people of the Hu family, leaving no one alive.
"Treat your comrades as warm as spring, and treat your enemies as ruthlessly as the harsh winter." This is what Lu Qingshan told his soldiers.
They have already witnessed Lu Qingshan's cruelty and ruthlessness.
They also saw Lu Qingshan's spring-like warmth soon.
Regarding the civilians in the city, after Lu Qingshan entered Anling City, he made a three-part agreement with the people: those who kill will die, and those who hurt others and steal will be punished.
According to him, the Qingshan Army is a soldier of the people, and what they do is for liberation, and they will never allow burning, killing, and looting.
In addition, Lu Qingshan also directly distributed farmland that belonged to the ruling class in the city to the people in the city.
Return the land to the people.
This move made everyone burst into tears of gratitude.
As for the slaves, Lu Qingshan recruited them into the Qingshan Army and strengthened the Qingshan Army.
According to Lu Qingshan, these are all comrades, very good comrades.
——After completing the preliminary finishing work, Lu Qingshan also set up a celebration banquet, awarded the entire army, and distributed gold and silver property like water, without hesitation, and gathered a wave of military morale.
After taking Anling City and obtaining the assets accumulated and exploited by the upper class in the city for many years, this reward was no longer a problem for Lu Qingshan, and it also gave him the financial resources to support more troops.
Raising troops is a very expensive thing.
Before there is no industry, the only way is to support war with war.
...
The original main hall of the Hu family's inner residence has now changed its owner.
A map was placed on the eucalyptus table. Lu Qingshan stood in front of the eucalyptus table and thought about it. Gu Tianyan and other important leaders of the Qingshan Army at this time were surrounding him.
"General, are we going to attack Feiyun City next?" Gu Tianyan looked at the map and asked, "It is the closest city to our Anling City."
If you want to take over the Hu family's fiefdom, according to common sense, you should push it up one city at a time.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan shook his head firmly.
"Feiyun City is no better than Anling City. It is one of the majestic cities within the Hu family. It has sufficient guard strength, majestic city walls, and complete defensive equipment.
Most of the soldiers of the Qingshan Army have only been on the battlefield once, and there are even many slaves who have just been recruited. Taking them to fight Feiyun City is simply a matter of death."
His finger slid slowly on the map, "Look, aren't there so many towns and villages around Feiyun City?"
"The general wants to attack these small towns and villages?" Gu Tianyan's eyes widened.
"Why not? In these places, from the mayor to the village chief, not everyone is named Hu."
"Anyone named Hu is our enemy."
"But, these are just small villages. Even if we take them, it doesn't seem to mean much?" Gu Tianyan said hesitantly.
This is common sense.
In a war, you have to directly attack the opponent's strongholds. How can you attack a small village?
"Who said it's meaningless?" Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't underestimate these small villages and towns."
"As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire."
"Don't stay in the same old mindset. The path we are taking now is a revolutionary path."
"The revolutionary path must adhere to seeking truth from facts, proceed from reality in everything, and dare to break the shackles of ideological imprisonment and dogmatism."
"It is better to have no books than to believe in all the books."
"Tianyan, you can't disbelieve the military book, but you can't believe it too deeply."
"Our current strength is insufficient, but our potential is unlimited, but we still need to develop.
So what we have to do now is to launch an armed rebellion by the serfs in Nong Village, where the enemy's ruling power is relatively weak, expand the Qingshan Army, establish a revolutionary base area, and combine armed struggle with agrarian revolution to establish a base area.
Then, we will rely on the base areas to develop revolutionary forces."
"This is the correct revolutionary path that suits the situation of our Qingshan Army."
Gu Tianyan was confused and confused after hearing these words.
Lu Qingshan didn't care. He waved his big hand and decided on the general strategy, "'Rural areas surrounding cities' is the path our Qingshan Army will take!"
The general has spoken, and no one else dares to disobey, and they quickly respond: "I will obey the military order!"
...........
River pier.
Nearly ten thousand Qingshan troops gathered here.
Nearly a hundred boats lined up on the river, which was a spectacular sight.
Anling City is a transit city with extremely developed transportation. Because it transports heavy objects such as ores and weapons, water transportation is particularly well developed. A large river leads to various places.
The villages and towns that Lu Qingshan regarded as his targets were located on both sides of the river.
As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and quick. After three days of repairs, the Qingshan Army, which was almost twice as strong as before, was already concentrated in the open space next to the dock.
"The world has changed hands many times," Lu Qingshan stood on a temporary high platform and spoke to the entire army. "The surname is Guo Zhao, the surname is Guo Li, the surname is Guo Wang..."
"The only one who doesn't have the last name is Renmin."
"But the people should be the masters of the world."
