This Qing is wrong

Chapter 72
Li Ergou, who came to Fucheng of Chaozhou Prefecture again, felt that he was very lucky to come back alive from the Battle of Chaoyang County!
As Liu Tianming, the magistrate, withdrew his troops regardless of the consequences, the outcome of the Chaoyang County battle had already spread throughout the army.

Li Ergou naturally also learned that the main force of the Qing army in Chaozhou Prefecture was completely wiped out!
In the true sense, the entire army was wiped out. Except for a few scattered soldiers, all the survivors surrendered to Li Changqing, the demon Taoist of Chaoyang County!

Li Ergou's team was defeated by Li Changqing because of being a vanguard. In order to prevent their emotions from infecting the whole army, Hao Zhongcheng deliberately isolated them and stayed in the rear camp, allowing Li Ergou to avoid the bloody battle.

That's right, according to the utterances of the fleeing soldiers, that battle was simply Shura's hell.

Su Bing said that they were all deceived by those officials!

The officials have been lying to them that they will win, and the victories are one after another, all of which have a higher battle loss ratio than the enemy.

However, when the victory was fought, they were defeated, and the defeat was so complete that blood flowed like a river!
According to Qu Bing's complaint, halfway through the battle, they merged with other teams, their organization was disrupted, and many familiar faces went to other teams.

As a result, when the battle started, I didn't even know how many comrades I was familiar with had died.

It wasn't until after the battle that we learned that very few people survived...

The most irritating thing is that these soldiers beat their lives to death, and in the end those military officers who were helpless, surrendered shamefully to the rebels!

Including Li Ergou, people who have not experienced that battle feel that the surrender of officials is a normal operation. After all, they have never seen such a scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood...

It is impossible to understand the despair and grief in the hearts of those defeated soldiers who fled back.

Li Ergou originally thought that after they withdrew to Fucheng, Chaozhou Prefecture, he could go home.

As a result, Liu Tianming, the magistrate of Chaozhou Prefecture, took over all the remaining Qing troops with full authority. Not only did they 'lock' these green battalion veterans in the barracks to prevent them from going home, but also reorganized the original army followers and strong class officials into the Qing army. In battle sequence!

Li Ergou didn't understand why Liu Tianming, a civil servant, had the power to command those military officials.

As everyone knows, during the first battle in Chaoyang County, Hao Zhongzhong took all the middle and high-level military officers of the Qing army in Chaozhou Prefecture as prisoners. Now they have been brainwashed into recruits like idiots, and they are receiving strict military training all day long.

Those who fled back with Liu Tianming were all grassroots military officers. These military officers did not have much power. As the prefect of Chaozhou Prefecture, Liu Tianming naturally wanted to support the remnants of the army.

This can be regarded as an emergency avoidance measure for the local government of the Qing government...

If it wasn't for Hao Zhongzhong's confidantes who fell together in the battle of Chaoyang County, Liu Tianming would have to cleanse Hao Zhongzhong, a confidant of the general who defected to the enemy, from the remnant army.

Of course, Hao Zhongzhong's family members were arrested and imprisoned by a group of fast-track government servants the day after Liu Tianming returned to the city.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Liu Tianming only punished the culprit who surrendered, and did not imprison all the family members of the military attache of the Qing army who were caught in the battle of Chaoyang County, let alone the family members of those small soldiers...

If all those who surrendered were to be held accountable, the Chaozhou government would be in chaos before the Qing army came over!

Facts have proved that Liu Tianming only arrested Hao Zhongzhong's family members and did not deal with other family members, which made the restless situation in Chaozhou Prefecture a little more stable.

Liu Tianming also conveyed a message that was not recognized by the government through the private channels of the officialdom - as long as they continue to serve the Qing Dynasty, everyone will still be a good slave of the Qing Dynasty!

Since everyone can continue to be slaves, people's hearts will naturally be stable.

It's good to be a slave, the Qing Dynasty is the most gracious to the slaves, when massacring, they never kill their own slaves...

Above the court, anyone who can call himself a slave in front of the emperor is enough to boast of 800 years of glory!

No matter how good the imperial examination is, Hanchen can only call himself a humble minister?
Compared with slaves, they are inferior in generation!
The Qing Dynasty is a dynasty that pays attention to slave generations... oh no, a dynasty that pays attention to seniority!
The situation in Chaozhou Prefecture has stabilized, but Li Ergou, a veteran of the green camp, is not satisfied, and the **** can't go home!

I don't know if the mother-in-law at home has stolen a man?
If he knows who dares to wear a hat of forgiveness on him, as long as the other party is not a bannerman, his third leg must be cut off!
As the master of the Green Camp, Li Ergou has the confidence!

And he wasn't too worried that his mother-in-law could steal the banner man, after all, his house was far away from the place where the banner people lived together.

On the fourth day after returning to Chaozhou Prefecture, Li Ergou, who was extremely bored in the military camp, finally got an order from his immediate superior, a small general.

Li Ergou got promoted!

All the former soldiers and civilians and the strong class government servants were pulled into the barracks and reorganized with them. The original veterans of the green camp could manage the third and fourth people under their subordinates.

Although it wasn't a real promotion and salary increase, it was just a way for veterans to lead recruits, but Li Ergou, who had always been under the control of others, suddenly became able to control others, and his back stretched straight.

The resentment towards Liu Tianming, the magistrate, also eased a lot.

Li Ergou inquired with his comrades, and found that those who were dragged into the barracks were not only those who went to fight with Chaoyang County, but also many young men who had just been 'recruited' into the army in recent days Men were all sorted into it.

This is also the reason why they, the veterans of the low-level green battalion, can all be 'promoted' to the corps leader.

However, according to the information revealed by his comrades, the newly recruited recruits were all very reluctant, and all the resettlement expenses given by the government were "advance payments".

The one who gave the most turned out to be exempt from corvee!
Exemption from corvee is indeed a good thing for the common people, but it has to be compared with what.

Rather than fighting against the legendary monster Li Changqing who cannibalize people with weapons, these ordinary people would rather bring their own dry food to serve corvee!
That's right, Liu Tianming blackened Li Changqing's image while preparing the army for war.

This is the characteristic of the times, just like the international society in Li Changqing's previous life, when countries that were hostile to each other broadcast news, the same thing can tell two kinds of news.

The art of language lies in that you can change the concept casually, you can turn the black into white, and completely discredit the white for you.

Of course, compared with the society in Li Changqing's previous life, the speech skills in this parallel world are too immature. Useful.

Even if this kind of slander sounds absurd.
