The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 45: Grabbing money and women, dividing land and worshipping God

Chapter 45: Grabbing money and women, dividing land and worshipping God (At this critical moment, add more and ask for support, come and read!)
Double pass.

The flags are waving, swords and spears are like a forest, and the demons are in line.

Nearly two thousand soldiers of the Green Camp of the Qing army, wearing red-tasseled straw hats, uniforms, and holding spears, muskets, swords on their waists, or holding flags, had already formed five square formations in a staggered manner.

Although the formation looked unremarkable, most of the soldiers were skinny and pale, and many of them were yawning. I wonder if they stayed up late to play games or had a cigarette addiction again? However, these guys were already considered elite in the Green Camp system of the Qing army.

Because they were the standard-bearers of the former Hunan governor, that is, they were the standard-bearers directly under the governor-general!
The Green Camp soldiers of the Qing army were composed of two major groups: garrison soldiers and standard bearers.

The former are scattered and stationed in various places. They are mainly responsible for maintaining public order and suppressing honest people - they must be honest. If they are replaced by the unruly people in Guangdong and Guangxi who often fight with weapons or the bandits on both sides of the Huai River who often start rebellions, the Green Camp of the garrison will not be able to suppress them.

The latter, that is, the standard soldiers directly under the governor, governor-general, admiral, general, and deputy general, are quite powerful. First, they are concentrated under the noses of the first and second rank officials. As long as the officials pay attention, the lieutenant generals, guerrillas, thousand commanders, etc. who directly lead the troops will be more serious, eat less empty quotas, and drink less blood. Secondly, these standard soldiers really have to fight against the stronger rebels and barbarians. If they are not strictly controlled, they can't be pulled up at the critical moment, and the emperor will be furious, and the first and second rank officials who lead the troops will be embarrassed.

And Yu Wanqing, the admiral's model soldier, doesn't seem to be that good either.

However, their morale is still quite high. They are waiting to be inspected by Lord Yu while whispering to each other and discussing gossip!

"Have you heard? The one who captured Etang Town was a group of Guangxi female longhaired girls. The leader was Su Sanniang, the most beautiful woman in the Guangdong and Guangxi underworld!"

"Su Sanniang? I know, I know. That's our Tiandi. It's them! They are the leader of Guangyi Hall of Tiandihui!"

"She is now the leader of the Longhair Women's Battalion, and she has led two thousand pretty female soldiers from Guangxi into Etang."

"What do you mean by delicate? Those Hakka big-footed women are very fierce!"

"Damn it, you old smoker, you're still picky? You're lucky to have a wife!"

"What does this mean?"

"Of course, whoever catches it will own it. Also, Mr. Huang doesn't want the silver and copper coins in the Huang family's old house in Etang Town anymore, so whoever grabs it will own it."

"Really? Is there really such a good thing? Has General Yu changed his character?"

"Woo."

When a group of standard-bearers were discussing with great interest, they suddenly heard the sound of a wailing trumpet, followed by the officers leading the team shouting at the top of their lungs: "Silence! The admiral is here!"

Now everyone quickly shut up and stopped talking. They all stretched their necks and looked in the direction of Shuangpai Town. They saw a tall old man in a neat robe, with his hands loose on the reins, riding a tall horse, galloping towards them, followed by a dozen other riders.

Needless to say, this old man with great horsemanship is none other than General Yu Wanqing, who was a military scholar!
Although General Yu was not very good at fighting and his promotion was entirely due to "giving gifts", he passed the military examination based on his real ability. He was proficient in riding, archery, swordplay, and throwing stone locks! Even now that he is old, he has not lost his skills!
"it is good"

The soldiers on the parade ground cheered, just like when they watch a performer outside and support him.

"Hahahaha" Old Man Yu seemed to enjoy it very much. He laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to grab the reins, stopping the warhorse right in front of the two thousand standard-bearers under his command. Then he waved the whip in his hand. The cheering standard-bearers below immediately stopped talking and forced themselves to look at the admiral.

"All right," Yu Wanqing nodded, "You little bastards are all very energetic! Someone, bring the silver up to me!"

silver?

Do we still need to give money to everyone?

The eyes of the people below widened.

Then, ten burly Goshas were seen carrying five boxes and placing them in front of the five square formations. When the lids were opened, a silver glittering scene appeared, filled with ingots of silver!

Yu Wanqing stretched out his palm and laughed, "Here is five thousand taels of silver, which was collected for us by Mr. Huang, the richest man in Daozhou! One thousand taels are given to each battalion, two taels are given to each soldier, and the rest is given to the officials."

In fact, Huang Shijie had been busy these past two days and collected a total of 10,000 yuan. Yu Wanqing only took half for himself and gave 5,000 yuan to his subordinates. This was considered a good position.

"Thank you, Lord Yu, for the reward!"

"Master Yu, you will be a noble for generations!"

"Lord Yu will be made a marquis soon"

The soldiers below are all greedy for money, so they are of course delighted to have some money to take.

Yu Wanqing waved his whip to quiet down his men, then raised his voice and said, "Don't be too happy, you bastards. There are still good things to come! I have already found out that the long-haired people occupying Etang Town are all women. Whoever catches the big-footed woman from Guangxi will own her! But let me make a deal first. Whoever catches Su Sanniang must hand her over to me. I will reward him with one thousand taels and recommend him to be a captain!" "Yes, sir!"

"okay!"

"twitter!"

The Qing troops below were noisy again, even more joyful than before.

No one dares to mess with men with long hair.

But not only do we have the courage to provoke female long-haired people, but we also have great courage!
Yu Wanqing waved his whip again: "There's more! There's more good news. Mr. Huang from Etang Town said that he has saved 50,000 taels of silver in his mansion and pawnshop in Etang Town! 50,000 taels! Most of this silver was distributed to the poor people in Etang Town by Su Sanniang. Mr. Huang doesn't want this silver, so whoever grabs it will get it! Let's rob after we take Etang. Rob money! Rob women!"

This is a big deal!

Fifty thousand taels!

Moreover, they can rob at will. This is allowed by Huang Shijie, the leader of the gentry in Etang Town!

In other words, even if they turned Etang Town into a wasteland, no one would go to the provincial capital to file a complaint.

"Rob the money! Rob the women!"

"Grab, grab, grab"

"General Yu, send out the troops!"

"send troops."

Seeing that he had boosted the morale of his men, Yu Wanqing finally felt that the time was right, and waved his hand, saying, "Give me the silver, and go back to the camp to pack up your things. We will send out troops at noon tomorrow. Send them to Etang Town! Bring me enough foreign cigarettes, and smoke them up before you rush!"

"twitter"

"Have you got any food?"

"no!"

"Have you anything to wear?"

"no!"

"Do you have a farm or a house?"

"nothing?"

In Zhangwang Village near Etang Town, Wang Huoxiu, who was given the name Wang Yan by Luo Yaoguo, had already gone through Luo Yaoguo's night crash course and finished reading Volume 1 of "Anti-Scripture", "The Rebellion of the Common People", and was now officially employed as a temporary lecturer. He was explaining the "true truth" to a poor peasant who had cut off his braids and was kneeling in front of the tablet of "Haotian God" with disheveled hair!
He gnashed his teeth and asked, "Who made you have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, no land and no house?"

The poor man with deep hatred replied: "It's Huang Shijie Huang Ba Pi!"

"Anything else?" Wang Yan clenched his fist, looking like he was going to hit someone.

The poor guy was almost biting his teeth: "And the evil Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. It was his ancestors who brought the Manchu soldiers to invade us, robbed us Han people's land, and took away our Han women. As a result, I am still unmarried at such an old age!"

"Yes!" Lecturer Wang Yan nodded heavily, "Then what should we do?"

"Rebellion! I have no money, no women, and I can't even afford to eat. I might as well rebel. I want to join the Taiping Army. I want to rebel!"

Wang Yan turned around and pointed at the tablet of Haotian Emperor: "This is the Haotian Emperor of our Taiping Army. If you want to join the Taiping Army, you must worship Haotian Emperor. After worshiping, Haotian Emperor is our Heavenly Father and will bless you!"

The poor guy's emotions had been completely incited, and he kowtowed three times towards the tablet of Lord Haotian, his forehead almost bleeding!
"Good! Zhang Ada, you really believe in Heavenly Father and God!"

At this time, the angel Luo Yaoguo who was sitting beside him nodded with satisfaction and waved to the poor Korean named Zhang Ada: "Come here, I'll give you land now!" As he spoke, he took a land deed from a tray held by Wang Xier, who had changed into the uniform of a female Taiping Army soldier, and handed it to Zhang Ada, "This is five acres of paddy field rewarded to you by the Heavenly Father God! Follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the God Worshipping Society, and let's take back the country that belongs to the Han people together!"

 Now is a critical moment for Luo Luo, and I implore everyone to support, read, vote, and collect!
