In fact, Wei Wenguang, a big thief, was also a big soldier who didn't know a big character in the early days. He became a soldier because his family was too down and had no way out. He was fooled into an officer and soldier of the state of Lu. Then, he met his own dignitaries in the ranks of officers and soldiers.
For five years, the noble man taught him to read and understand a lot of truth. After the noble man died in the war, Wei Wenguang decisively escaped from the army. After thinking for a month, he decided what to do in the future and rebelled!
There is no future for officers and soldiers in the state of Lu. Corruption is rampant in the army. Most generals and generals are evil tigers who eat people and don't spit bones. Officers and soldiers have little combat effectiveness. Once there is an accident in the state of Lu, such as pirates or roving bandits in the three islands, officers and soldiers will be cannon fodder.
His noble man was killed by the pit in the process of suppressing bandits. The swords, guns and armours sent from above are like a god pit. The allocation fee for the expedition was severely deducted by the top, which made the whole army demoralized and demoralized. Finally, they were defeated by the exile bandits relying on the large number of people.
How did that wave of bandits die out? More than two thousand elite servants gathered together by the local gentry and Haozu were smashed.
At that time, Wei Wenguang was his personal soldier.
He also had a certain reputation and influence in the defeated official Army. When he decided to rebel in the future and prepare for the rebellion, his first team of smuggled Salt Traders was recruited from the defeated officers and soldiers.
Wei Wenguang, who was only 24 years old, started a group of defeated soldiers and engaged in smuggling. After several years of training, he had today's seven sworn brothers, as well as hundreds of carefully trained leaders, team leaders and huge family businesses.
Don't underestimate the length and team rate of those hundreds.
In the army of the state of Lu, there are five people in one army, five leaders in one army, ten leaders in one army, fifty people in one team, and a team rate!
With hundreds of such grass-roots teams, how many military forces can they manage?
"In fact, we waited until this year to have a chance. It's also luck. If we were two or three years ahead of schedule, we don't have such sufficient confidence."
"The second and the third, you take more than a dozen brothers to the north and south of Xuecheng mansion. Once there are large-scale refugees, you will lead them to kill local tyrants and distribute grain. Disturb the two places. Remember, don't poison the village like real bandits. We only kill local tyrants and get grain. We must strictly control the atmosphere."
"Xue Chengfu is our foundation. We must not mess up!"
"When your momentum is up, I'll set up a flag here and say to prevent rogue cholera, go to Xi county and pull a civilian regiment to protect myself. I'll manage the figures of the county government. Once the civilian regiment expands and trains for a month or two, I can fight well."
…………
When he told his brothers, Wei Wenguang couldn't help feeling that without the noble man, where would he know so much truth?
As the noble man said, there is no future for making bandits in the state of Lu. The geographical depth is too small. There are plains everywhere. As long as the family and private soldiers are gathered, they are a large army that can fight. No matter where there are large-scale bandits, they will be easily eliminated by cavalry and shipping.
The rogues in the state of Lu because of the disaster have always been spinning up and out.
Such a thing, on the contrary, contributed to the strength of the gentry and Haozu in the state of Lu. Every bandit riot, the gentry everywhere in the state of Lu were full of fat intestines.
Officers and soldiers are only cannon fodder. If you can fight, try it. If you can't, the gentry will take over the plate again.
Even, in history, the rebellion of Wang San, which caused a sensation in the state of Lu more than 30 years ago, has spread to the present... It is a riot of more than 100000 thieves across the whole Feiyun Island, which can definitely be called a big thief. However, the rebellion of Wang San is caused by the laissez faire of gentry and tycoons.
Why laissez faire??
If you let it go, the more places where Wang San's misfortunes are, the more people will lose their land and home. Whether they escape into the city and sell themselves, or after Wang San's rebellion is suppressed, aren't the more than 100000 "thief soldiers" the human resources of the gentry and haos?
Wang San's rebellion was finally calmed down. It was only Yunzhou Prefecture. A group of top families gathered more than 20000 Class-D elite soldiers and selected a figure who was proficient in military strategy in an aristocratic family, which was wiped out in one breath.
Later, the leader of the army went to the Ministry of war of the state of Lu. Before the rebellion of Wang San, he was just an ordinary person without official rank.
That family is the Yao family, the first family in Yunzhou and Feiyun island.
In the current state of Lu, the Yao family also belongs to the younger brother circle of top rich families such as the Xiao family, which is on a par with the Tang family, the first family in Xiuyan Prefecture.
"In the state of Lu, there is no future for making rogue bandits. Only by becoming the overlord of the sitting side and implementing the system of military merit granting farmland, can we keep it. After our civil corps was established, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, so we will meet with your loose team of the second and third to besiege the city! It's best to plan and don't give those rich families the opportunity to gather their servants."
"In the process, as long as anyone makes meritorious service, he will grant farmland, and the war dead will grant their families 50 mu of good farmland. In the spring and autumn and Warring States periods, why did the Pre-Qin Dynasty dominate the world? It is because military merit is awarded farmland and knights, and the whole state of Qin is happy to hear of the war."
"If we sweep away the powerful gentry of Xiuyan mansion and give all the good fields of Xiuyan mansion to our army officers and soldiers, they are the people who support us most and are most willing to protect their fields."
"As long as we lay down Xiuyan mansion, our great cause will begin. Pull up 30000 troops, we can not only lay down Xiuyan mansion, but also hold it."
In the feudal era, there were landless tenants and handicraftsmen everywhere. In terms of the Chinese people's desire for land, as long as you dare to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, there will be countless responders.
Afterwards, as long as the system of the state of Qin is thoroughly and seriously implemented in Xiuyan mansion, it will be too late for the high-level officials of the state of Lu to respond and send troops to counter the rebellion.
Weijiazhuang is more than 30 miles away from the west of Xiuyan mansion, but it is not directly managed by the city. It is under the jurisdiction of Xi county of Xiuyan mansion. With Wei Wenguang's reputation in the local area, as long as there is a large-scale civil unrest in the South and North, he said he would set up a civil corps to defend the village? It's easy.
With his reputation of helping others with justice and wealth, some good family children come to vote in groups. This is the foundation of Wei Wenguang's hegemony. As long as the militia is trained and becomes a new army in a month, how have they ever fought a real battle? Don't forget that the middle and grass-roots units are all veterans who have worked with Wei Wenguang for several years.
The noble man in the army once told him about history, the pre-Qin scholars and the hegemony of Emperor Qin Shihuang. He highly praised the military merit Baron system of the state of Qin. As long as there are wars and meritorious achievements, there will be fields and titles.
The whole country of Qin was delighted to hear of the war. The first emperor relied on that system. He was first called the emperor and pioneered Chinese history.
Wei Wenguang also firmly believes that as long as he keeps his foundation and occupies the land of Xiuyan mansion, he will get better and better.
He's definitely not one of those mindless thieves.
Tong Yuan, the second of the seven brothers, laughed. "Don't worry, big brother. I'll take more than a dozen brothers out and incite and coerce a wave of rogues. It's easy. I also promise to do my best to train troops, train a small elite, transit the army and only kill local tyrants and evil gentry."
"As long as you follow me, whether women, children, old or weak, you will have a bite to eat."
They went out with great momentum and gave Wei Wen Guangcheng an excuse to set up the people's League. They didn't really want to harm one side.
