Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155

The weather is getting colder and the time is getting closer to the end of the year.One day, a news came from Shanyou Village suddenly that a group of strong men came to Shanyou Village to collect grain. There were about hundreds of people in this group, each with a gun and a stick, and dozens of horses.At this time, this group of people was confronting the peasant association of Shanyou Village and a small team left by Li Taiping.

After hearing the news, Li Taiping immediately mobilized a brigade of troops and headed towards Shanyou Village in a murderous spirit.

After half an hour, Li Taiping arrived at Shanyou Village.I saw more than [-] people outside the village glaring at the village with swords and guns in their hands, cursing and threatening in their words.

At this time, a team he left behind had already raised their spears, pointing their guns at these strong men, as long as the strong men dared to attack, they would shoot them to death.Although the team of 50 people in a small team is a little small, the momentum is very terrifying.That's why this group of strong people didn't rush into the village.As for the dozen or so sparse agricultural guards standing behind the spear formation, they were ignored by the strongman.

The people had already known about the news that Li Taiping brought people over, they gathered their forces and looked at Li Taiping vigilantly.When they saw that the clothes in Li Taiping's team were messy and they didn't look like Tartar officers and soldiers, they were also relieved.

At this time, the leader of this group of strong men spoke.

"It's He Liang from the anti-Tartar army. He came here just to collect some food. I didn't know that this is the territory of the heroes. I offended you. Let's take people away."

Li Taiping's heart skipped a beat when he heard that this was an anti-Tartar team.I am a foreigner, and here I am like a deaf and blind man.If there is a local anti-Tartar team to cooperate, it is like having an extra pair of eyes and a pair of wings, which will be very helpful for expanding your power.

"Our security team is also here to resist the Tartars. Since everyone is an anti-Tartar team, why not go to the village to talk about it." Li Taiping also stood up and cupped his hands.

He Liang looked a little hesitant when he heard Li Taiping's words, but after taking another look at the more than a thousand regiment members brought by Li Taiping, he was relieved.The members of this brigade are all strong and strong, standing on the ground with weapons in their hands, and they don't move. The sharp eyes can tell that they are elite soldiers at a glance.With such a powerful force, it is easy to wipe out these hundreds of stragglers, so naturally they will not use any conspiracy.

"It's just, when did southern Shaanxi have such a strong anti-Tartar force?" He Liang thought suspiciously.

Although he believed that the other party would not harm him, He Liang still brought thirty of his men into the village, and the rest were stationed outside the village.Li Taiping did not object to He Liang's caution.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Taiping introduced himself to He Liang, and also introduced the Security Corps, an anti-Tartar organization.

"I, Li Taiping, am the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion of the Security Regiment. Our security regiment is the people's team and the armed forces of the nation. After the Jiashen Incident, the Tartars entered the Central Plains. A security regiment was established in Yingshan County, De'an Prefecture, Hubei Province. Our regiment is currently fighting against the Tartar forces at the intersection of Hubei and Henan. Under the order of the regiment leader, our fourth battalion brought more than [-] vanguard troops to the Shaanxi, set up the Shaanxi anti-Tartar base."

Li Taiping's words made He Liang confused, and he couldn't understand the meaning of many words.However, he understood that the man in front of him with more than [-] elite soldiers was actually just one of his subordinates, and he was also the fourth subordinate.I don't know how many people like the person in front of me are in this security group.It seems that this security group is a big anti-Tartar force, but why haven't I heard of it?After all, maybe I am still ignorant.

"Oh hehe, it turned out to be Battalion Commander Li! I have admired him for a long time! Battalion Commander Li is such an outstanding person that he is only ranked fourth in the security team. It seems that the security team is full of talents." He Liang said politely, but for the sake of Take Li Taiping's words.

Li Taiping was very clear about He Liang's careful thinking.Raising the banner of the security regiment by myself is not only to make the security regiment famous, to show loyalty to the regiment headquarters and the regiment leader, but also to make people feel unpredictable about themselves.

If you are just a small force with only three thousand soldiers and horses, then you can see the bottom line at a glance like Wang Qingshui.But after I lifted out of the security team, I have a backer, and I will make others think that the people I bring are just the vanguard of a huge force, and this will muddy Wang Qingshui, making it hard to see. When you go to the bottom of the water, it is difficult to know your own details.

Sure enough, Li Taiping's strategy succeeded.He Liang already felt in awe of the power of this security group.Although the anti-Tartar forces are ultimately to resist the Tartars, the internal struggles are still very fierce, and they even fight each other desperately for leadership.Of course, Li Taiping didn't want to travel all the way to Shaanxi and end up being recruited, so in order to quickly expand his power, he had to recruit others.

"Of course, our security regiment has ten battalions, and each battalion has more than 1 horsemen, a total of 10,000+ people. There are as many as ten battalion commanders like me!" Li Taiping smiled slightly. .

"What? More than [-] horses?" He Liang almost knocked over the tea bowl in his hand in surprise.Not only He Liang, but the [-] subordinates behind him were also stunned.

An army of more than 10,000 peasants is not scary, because they are all mud-legged. When fighting, they will swarm up, and when they are defeated, they will flee in a hurry.As long as you have enough food in your hands, let alone [-]+, even hundreds of thousands or millions can be recruited.

However, this organization called the Security Corps is different. Their soldiers are well-trained. Although their weapons are average, their discipline is particularly strong.Those Qiu Ba's eyes can see blood at first glance.If 10,000+ are all such elites, how powerful are they?But why haven't I heard of it?It's really strange.

In order to boast loudly, Li Taiping even revealed the strength of the security regiment at its peak, and even at its peak, there were far less than 3000 of his [-] subordinates.Most of these [-] people have been with me for two years, and some of them are heroes from the green forest. They originally learned martial arts, and they also learned characters in night schools. They can be said to be both civil and military.If it is possible to expand the army, these people can be very powerful without saying a word. In that case, as long as the army has enough troops and money, it can expand its strength several times.

This time, Li Taiping completely stunned He Liang.The strength of the security regiment, Li Taiping's free and easy, and the military posture of the thousands of spearmen standing in a straight line, all these were deeply reflected in He Liang's mind.Regarding Li Taiping's words, He Liang hardly had any doubts, because the aura of the more than a thousand regiment members had already stunned him.Only these more than 1000 regiments can run freely in southern Shaanxi, because Ren Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Xing'an Town of the Tartars, only has [-] men.

After being stunned by Li Taiping, He Liang began to humble himself, and began to tell some of his situation.

When he learned that He Liang's army was short of food, Li Taiping waved his hand and said proudly.

"Since brother is short of food, brother will give you three thousand catties of food, don't be polite to brother?"

Seeing that Li Taiping seemed to be much younger than himself, He Liang wanted to say something, but in the end he just swallowed the words that came to his mouth, acquiescing to the old brother Li Taiping. identity.

It was gradually approaching noon, which was the lunch time for the security team, and He Liang's army didn't eat the morning food because of the lack of food.Therefore, Li Taiping arranged lunch for He Liang's people, and asked He Liang to go out to appease his subordinates, and then they had lunch together.

During the banquet, Li Taiping heard from He Liang that Jiang Yu, the commander-in-chief of Datong in Shanxi, had rebelled in Datong on the [-]rd of this month. Now Shanxi is in chaos. The struggle also disrupted the situation in Shaanxi.

Hearing this, Li Taiping's heart gradually became active, and he thought of a way to quickly expand his power.
