On the wasteland outside the entrance of Eight Mile Village, three infantry regiments were slowly using engineers to shovel and build simple fortifications. From time to time, they would whisper and chat. They did not have the slightest sense of crisis before the arrival of a big battle.
It wasn't that they were passively preparing for war, but that they really looked down on the Qing army.
The Qing army stationed in Qinzhou only had an infantry battalion of 540 people (the new army trained by the Qianlong Emperor, all of which were westernized). The 540 people were only equipped with second-hand M1703 Springfield rifles imported from the Yingjiang Kingdom, as well as two M1717 Browning heavy machine guns. They did not have any artillery.
What about the National Defense Force?
6340 people, 4,000 semi-automatic rifles, hundreds of cannons, and 300 general purpose machine guns. One round of firepower was enough to wipe out the Qing army!
Zhu Lingye's plan was to destroy the Qin Prefecture troops in the wilderness, then take over the city and recruit the young and strong to join the army.
In fact, it was not that the commoners were unwilling to rebel. On the contrary, they had long had enough of the tyranny of the Barbarian Qing. They wished that all the wild boar skins would die.
What they were most worried about was the failure of the rebellion!
Once the rebellion failed, not only would the entire family be executed, but the entire village, town, and county would also be massacred by the brutal Qing army.
To put it bluntly, they did not have enough chips, so they would not take the risk.
But what if he had enough chips?
For example, winning a few battles and destroying a large number of Qing troops.
Using strength to speak was more practical than shouting slogans.
In addition, Zhu Lingye had a lot of food, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.
The recruit recruitment plan was also formulated.
Disband the three infantry regiments and use the Bio-Human soldiers as the backbone of the squad leaders. Within three months, expand the army to 45,000 people and form the first, second, and third divisions of the National Defense Army.
Once the three full infantry divisions were formed, they would be free to attack the city and seize the land. They would first take down Gui Province, then take over the three southwestern provinces, and then take over the south.
After digesting the territory in the south and expanding the army, he would send his army north to destroy the Barbarian Pure Tribe.
As for whether or not they would attract a large number of Qing troops to surround them, Zhu Lingye wasn't worried about that.
Because in this era where transportation was still very backward, by the time Qianlong reacted and sent an army to wipe them out, the National Defense Force was no longer afraid of any enemy.
……
It was a pity that imagination was beautiful, but reality was unusually cruel.
Zhu Lingye underestimated the servility of the people in this era.
Seven to eight hundred yellow-skinned and emaciated refugees gathered together. Their eyes were filled with fear and even a hint of hostility.
Hostile?
In front of them, Zhu Lingye and the guards lined up by the roadside to set up a big pot. The water in the pot was boiling. The soldiers picked up the cloth bag and poured the white rice into it.
Refined rice! It was authentic polished rice!
Before the great famine came, there were hundreds of bags of polished rice that even the landowners and despots could not eat.
The fragrance of rice filled the air. Hundreds of refugees swallowed their saliva crazily, wishing they could rush up and snatch it.
The famine had lasted for five years, and they had not had a full meal for five years.
Most of the time, they were hiding and eating wild vegetables and bark. The fish in the river had been fished until they were extinct. The originally green forest was now bare.
There was no other reason. The leaves had all been plucked and eaten.
However, no matter how hungry they were, they did not dare to snatch it because the soldiers of the Yan Huang National Defense Army had foreign guns in their hands!
As time passed, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of fierce eyes, the porridge was cooked. Even if the chopsticks were inserted into it, it would not fall.
Zhu Lingye threw away the cigarette butt and got up from the stool.
Looking around at the refugees, he felt sad and angry.
He had just asked those who were willing to rebel with the National Defense Force to distribute food for free. They would not have to go hungry in the future.
In the end, not only was no one willing, they even ran away as if they were avoiding the God of Plagues.
"Do you want to live or do you want the braids?"
[666 The streamer's move was ruthless enough. Soul torture!]
[Indeed, cutting the braid is equivalent to rebelling. There is no turning back.]]
[What do you think these refugees will do?]
[Slavery runs deep in their bones. They would rather starve to death than take risks. This is the cowardice of human nature! Just like the Jinlin Massacre, tens of thousands of people were driven to the riverside by hundreds of Japanese. No one dared to resist. They sat there like sheep waiting for death!]
[Actually, it's not that. If someone had stood up to resist, I believe many people would have followed the crowd!] Unfortunately, no one dared to step forward. That era of extreme weakness and selfishness was too terrifying!]
The indomitable and fearless inheritance in the blood of the Yan Huang people has already been obliterated by the wild boar skin enslavement. It will be very difficult to awaken it again!]
[I can feel the host's feelings of lamenting his misfortune and being angry at him for not fighting. It's also because the host's temper has improved. If it were me, with my bad temper, since I'm loyal to Man Qing, all of you can die. What a waste of food!]]
[Pattern, pattern open! The streamer wants the world. If he doesn't even have this bit of breadth of mind, he won't be able to achieve great things!]
[I feel the same way. From the looks of it, the host is a person who does great things!]]
[Where did you get that from?]
[It's very simple. The streamer's original plan was to buy a guard platoon and enter the mountains to subdue the bandits to expand his army. However, after seeing the tragic situation of the refugees today, he did not hesitate to change his strategy. He bought three infantry regiments and planned to occupy Ginkou City to quickly expand his army. This arrangement is not bad!] It was much better than going into the mountains to develop wretchedly.]
[A tall tree attracts the wind. The streamer is going to face the Qing army's encirclement next. Does he really think Qianlong is a vegetarian!?]]
[What's there to be afraid of? I'll get my salary on the 20th. I'll tip you 500 yuan first!]]
I'll tip 200 yuan too, and you think I can't kill the Wild Boar Skin? [What a joke!]
