The red glowing sun hangs, Wilderness silent. 红日高悬,荒野无声。 Suddenly, from major road one side alley on, transmits yelling of man. 突然,自官道一侧的小路上,传来一阵男人的叫喊。 „Halts!” “站住！” „A bit faster holds her, do not let this young woman run!” “快点抓住她,别让这小娘儿们跑了！” Leans slightly, wears the pretty young wife of broken flowers short trousers hosiery, staggering ran from the track. On the broken flowers short trousers hosiery full is the silt, the knee place even produces an opening, sees the faint trace bloodstain faintly. 稍倾,一位身穿碎花小衣的娇俏小媳妇,踉踉跄跄地从小道上跑了出来。碎花小衣上满是淤泥,膝盖处甚至磨出一个口子,隐隐看到丝丝血迹。 The young woman facial expression is flustered, goes all out to proceed to run, while turns the head to look once for a while restlessly to behind, as if behind her, has one crowd of devils to be ordinary. 年轻女子神情慌张,一边拼命地往前跑,一边时不时不安地转头看向身后,似乎在她后面,有着一群恶魔一般。 Follows in the young woman behind, naturally is not the devil, but is three men, the age is not big, over biggest also 40, looks at the appearance actor, is actually nearby Farmer appearance. 跟在年轻女子身后的,自然不是什么恶魔,而是三位男子,年岁都不算大,最大的也不过四十出头,看模样行头,却是附近的农夫打扮。 The only special place lies, on the heads and arms of these Farmer, are tying up the white cloth strip. 唯一的特别之处在于,这几位农夫的头上和手臂上,都绑着白色的布条。 „ah ~ ~ ~” “啊~~~” Is perhaps startled, young woman carelessly, has not noted the road of under foot, was stumbled by the gravel, staggers two, does not stand eventually steadily, „pū tōng” one falls down. 许是过于惊慌,年轻女子一个不慎,没有注意到脚下的路,被石子绊了一下,踉跄两下,终究是站立不稳,“噗通”一下摔倒在地。 Following man sees this, great happiness. 后面的男子见此,大喜。 „Ha Ha, looked how your this little mother skin also runs!” “哈哈,看你这小娘皮还怎么跑！” Saying, three people was picking up speed, must seize the young woman. 说着,三人加快速度,就要将年轻女子擒住。 In the female eyes, reveals the desperate facial expression immediately, is that is psychologically prepared to accept fate. 女子眼中,顿时流露出绝望的神情,已是做好认命的心理准备。 In this time, the end of major road, suddenly transmits a rich rhythm the hoofbeat. Female hear word, in the eye bursts out an intense seeking livehood desire once more, raised a hue and cried: „Help!” 就在此时,官道的尽头,突然传来一阵富有节奏的马蹄声。女子闻言,眼中再次迸发出一股强烈的求生欲望,大声疾呼:“救命！” „Help!” “救命啊！” But that three male hear word, are the facial expression is actually instantaneous, immediately steps out, wants to catch up before the person, draws in the track that the female just now they walk. 而那三位男子闻言,却是神情瞬间阴沉,立即加快脚步,想要赶在来人之前,将女子拖入方才他们走来的小道。 Has not thought that the hoofbeat is actually twinkling, but. 不曾想,马蹄声却是瞬息而至。 Sees only one team of equipment excellent knights, from the major road line, the knight of lead grasps Gold Dragon Flag. 只见一队装备精良的骑士,自官道行来,领头的骑士手持金龙旗。 Three men see Gold Dragon Flag, complexion are instantaneous. 三位男子见到金龙旗,脸色瞬间煞白。 Common people who Mountains and Seas City governs, who does not know that Gold Dragon Flag representative Ruling Marquis is arriving. 山海城治下的百姓,又有谁不知道,金龙旗代表着君侯亲临。 „Real his mother is unlucky!” “真他妈晦气！” Three men see this, must throw down the female crassly, runs away toward the wooded mountain. What a pity, in this time, together benefits the arrow but from out of the blue, has intercepted their way. 三位男子见此,骂骂咧咧地就要丢下女子,往山林中逃窜。可惜,就在此时,一道利箭破空而至,截住了他们的去路。 The arrow arrow inserts nearby them three cuns (2.5cm) place, thinks that this is only a warning. If they dare in proceeding, the arrow arrow may probably call toward them on. 箭矢就插在他们跟前三寸之地,想必,这只是一个警告。如果他们胆敢在往前走,箭矢可就要往他们身上招呼了。 At once, three men frighten the cold sweat again and again, the complexion is instantaneous. 一时之间,三位男子吓得冷汗连连,脸色瞬间苍白。 In the final analysis, they are also only ordinary Farmer, there is what experience and a courage and wisdom? 说到底,他们也只是普通的农夫罢了,又有何见识和胆识？ Leans slightly, the knight of lead leads the team to rush, occupies a commanding position, shouted to clear the way loudly: „Good balls, under the broad daylight, to dare to seize common female unexpectedly!” 稍倾,领头的骑士就率队赶到,居高临下,大声喝道:“好胆,光天化日之下,竟然敢强抢民女！” „The armed forces, the armed forces master, this female is small, the little wife, refuses to accept to teach, must leave home, small then catches him.” A in which young man has stood, the words twinkle said. “军,军爷,这女子是小的,小的的媳妇,不服管教,要离家出走,小的这才将他抓回去。”其中的一位青年男子站了出来,言辞闪烁地说道。 „?” Knight hear word of lead, actually does not believe that turns the head to look to the female of praying for rescue, asked: „What he said is really? You could rest assured that I and others are Marquis of Lianzhou Personal Guard Army, from, when takes responsibility for you.” “哦？”领头的骑士闻言,却是不信,转头看向求救的女子,问道:“他说的可是真的？你放心,我等是廉州侯的亲卫军,自当为你做主。” Female hear word, in the eye one brightly, said pitifully: „The armed forces masters save a life!” 女子闻言,眼中一亮,凄惨地说道:“军爷救命！” „You said!” “你说！” „This person truly is my husband, is actually not the girl refuses to accept to teach, but is this day kills, must treat as the sacrificial offering me unexpectedly cruel-heartedly, buries to Heavenly King.” The females replied. “此人确实是我的丈夫,却不是小女子不服管教,而是这天杀的,竟然狠心地要将我当做祭品,给天王殉葬。”女子回答道。 „Buries?” The knights knit the brows, „the Heavenly King things to do after death have Heavenly Capital to manage, has what responsibility with you?” “殉葬？”骑士皱眉,“天王后事自有天京操持,与你们有何干系？” „This......” female hear word, is actually somewhat scruple. “这……”女子闻言,却是有些迟疑。 „To maintain a livelihood, truthfully draws on!” “想要活命,就如实招来！” The knights are actually felt that the matter has the fishy, the facial expression also becomes withers. 骑士却是感觉到事有蹊跷,神情也变得肃杀起来。 The young woman sees this, does not attend to the meaningful glance that the opposite man greeted again and again, said resolutely: „Does not dare to hide the truth from the armed forces master, Heavenly King passed away, regional Saint Church believers, actually spontaneously are Heavenly King hold the funeral. And one, is the choice young female, as the sacrificial offering, is Heavenly King buries.” 年轻女子见此,不顾对面男子连连招呼的眼色,毅然决然地说道:“不敢瞒军爷,天王驾崩,各地的圣教教徒,却是自发地为天王举行葬礼。其中一条,就是挑选年轻的女子,作为祭品,为天王殉葬。” Here, the facial expression of female became the grief and indignation gets up suddenly, points at the young man who just now was speaking saying: „On this day kills, does not have the female who has not married because of village, projects in the idea oneself wife unexpectedly. The people woman has no other choice, this ran away from the village.” 说到这里,女子的神情突然变得悲愤起来,指着方才说话的年轻男子说道:“这天杀的,因村中没有尚未出阁的女子,竟然将主意打到自己媳妇身上。民妇不得已,这才从村里逃了出来。” „Absurd!” “荒唐！” Knight hear word, flies into a rage, knows that the matter is unusual. 骑士闻言,勃然大怒,知道事情不同寻常。 „Comes the person!” “来人！” „In!” “在！” „Has tied up them, interrogated well, handed over by Ruling Marquis again punishes!” “将他们都绑了,好好审问一下,再交由君侯发落！” „!” “诺！” Was needless saying that this team of knights, were Divine Military Guard member, acted as the main forces Vanguard team. 不用说,这队骑士,正是神武卫成员,充当大军的先锋队。 Ouyang Shuo obtains the news, immediately ordered, main forces stopped going forward temporarily, conditioning. Three men who catches, including that female, hand over by Military Intelligence Division interrogate. 欧阳朔得到消息,当即下令,大军暂时停止前进,就地修整。抓来的三位男子,包括那位女子,都交由军情司审讯。 They are the common people, how to shoulder the Military Intelligence Division torture, one confessed entirely. 他们都是普通百姓,如何扛得住军情司的酷刑,一下就全招了。 Just like the matter that female said that across Xunzhou County, the Worshiping God Church teaching audiences knew that Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan passed away, spontaneously was Heavenly King worships and sees off. 事情正如那位女子所言,浔州郡各地,拜上帝教的教众得知天王洪秀全驾崩,都自发地在为天王祭拜、送行。 Such behavior, basically occurred in far away Village, therefore did not realize for various Earth Official government offices. 此等行为,基本上都发生在偏远的村落,因此并不为各地官府所察觉。 Those who make the Ouyang Shuo heart startled is, according to their confessions, in some well-born scholar government officials on Liancheng, has covertly rushes to Village to participate to hold a memorial service. 更让欧阳朔心惊的是,据他们交待,就连城中的一些士绅官吏,都有偷偷摸摸地赶到村落去参加祭奠的。 So looks like, although Hong Xiuquan died, Worshiping God Church that its establishes, is actually already in Xunzhou County truly put down roots, had formidable believers Foundation. 如此看来,洪秀全虽然死亡,其一手创立的拜上帝教,却是已经在浔州郡真正地落地生根,有了强大的信众基础。 In a short time, feared that is hard to eradicate. 短时间内,怕是难以根除。 This to the rule of Mountains and Seas City, without doubt is very Dangerous signal. Ouyang Shuo has not thought that remnants of church unexpectedly wildly to male servant. 这对山海城的统治而言,无疑是个非常危险的信号。就连欧阳朔都没想到,教会的余孽竟然会猖狂至厮。 So looks like, he goes to Heavenly Capital City to assume personal command, urgent. 如此看来,他前往天京城坐镇,就更加的刻不容缓。 Therefore, Ouyang Shuo decided immediately that leaves behind Divine Military Guard Platoon, is responsible for investigating thoroughly this matter. main forces picks up the speed, pushes onward toward Heavenly Capital City. 因此,欧阳朔当即决定,留下一个神武卫中队,负责彻查此事。大军则加快速度,朝天京城挺进。 Mountain Barbarian independent First Division that a Guiping Pass war, Shi Hu leads, 2000 Mountain Barbarian Warrior lived finally, except the severe wound, does not arrive at 1500 more people. 桂平关一战,石虎率领的山蛮独立第一师团,最终只有不到两千山蛮战士活了下来,除去重伤的,余者不到一千五百余人。 But Divine Military Guard, suffers heavy casualties at a Guiping Pass war. 而神武卫,也在桂平关一战损兵折将。 Therefore, Ouyang Shuo simply warrior(s) of Mountain Barbarian independent First Division survival, in the middle of total merge into Divine Military Guard, restores the establishment of Divine Military Guard 3000 person by this. 因此,欧阳朔干脆将山蛮独立第一师团幸存的战士,全数并入神武卫当中,以此恢复神武卫三千人的编制。 These Mountain Barbarian Warrior, although has not experienced the Special Operations training, actually absolutely is a First Grade strong soldier, merge into Divine Military Guard, will not weaken the Divine Military Guard battle efficiency. 这些山蛮战士,虽然没有经历过特种作战训练,却绝对是一等一的强兵,并入神武卫,并不会减弱神武卫的战斗力。 On the other hand, their merge into Divine Military Guard, is Ouyang Shuo to these warrior(s), highest praise. 另一方面,将他们并入神武卫,也算是欧阳朔对这些战士,最高的嘉奖。 Naturally, „Mountain Barbarian independent First Division” this temporary designation, vanishes into thin air. As for youth General Shi Hu, is transferred to Mountain Barbarian independent Second Division , to continue to hold the post of a Division Chief duty. 当然,“山蛮独立第一师团”这个临时番号,也跟着烟消云散。至于青年将军石虎,则调任山蛮独立第二师团,继续担任师团长一职。 But to participating to guard Guiping Pass Taiping Army surrendered soldier, Ouyang Shuo has not treated unjustly them, enrolls Leopard Hides Corps that their total Han Xin leads. 而对参与守卫桂平关的太平军降卒,欧阳朔也没有亏待他们,将他们全数编入韩信率领的豹韬军团。 When Wuzhou County reorganizes, Leopard Hides Corps has over a thousand people of vacancies. In addition around several War, although to having a fracture, presented the normal casualties of 5000~6000 person. 在梧州郡整编之时,豹韬军团就有上千人的缺额。再加上前后几次大战,虽然不至伤筋动骨,也出现了五六千人的正常伤亡。 Therefore, even if reorganizes Taiping Army surrendered soldier, Leopard Hides Corps still also has several thousand soldier(s) vacancies. 因此,即便将太平军降卒整编,豹韬军团依然还有几千兵员的缺额。 Not is only Leopard Hides Corps, Dragon Rising Corps as well as Imperial Guard Division, even includes to guard Mulan Fortress City Guard Division First Division, has the vacancy, the urgently needed supplement is in place. 不仅是豹韬军团,龙骧军团以及禁卫师团,甚至包括驻守木兰要塞的城卫师团第一师团,都有缺额,急需补充到位。 These soldier(s) vacancies, naturally are reorganize by Taiping Army surrendered soldier. 这些兵员缺额,自然就是由太平军降卒中整编而来。 A Mulan Fortress war, captures Taiping Army South Road Army 12 ten thousand. A Xunzhou County war, three groups of main forces captured the 40,000 places to defend armed forces. 木兰要塞一战,俘虏太平军南路军十二余万。浔州郡一战,三路大军又俘虏了四万余地方守备部队。 Routs West Road Army that Shi Dakai leads, captures 90,000 more people. 击溃石达开率领的西路军,又是俘虏九万余人。 Finally, is Taiping Army that the 100,000 waiting in present Heavenly Capital City reorganizes. 最后,就是现在天京城内的十万等待整编的太平军。 About in the same place, total 350,000 Taiping Army, waits to reorganize. This has not been counted, Bai Qi leads Dragon Rising Corps, sweeps Zhen'an County, war captive that following can present. 合在一起,共计三十五万余太平军,等待整编。这还没算上,白起率领龙骧军团,扫荡镇安郡,后续又会出现的战俘。 Mountains and Seas City must defend now the territory of length and breadth, must fall the armed forces to digest this batch. 山海城要守住现在广袤的领土,就必须将这批降军消化完毕。 Executive of Military Affairs Du Ruhui, has assumed Mulan Fortress personally, is responsible for reorganizing to detain 250,000 Taiping Army surrendered soldier in fort. 军务署长杜如晦,已是亲自坐镇木兰要塞,负责整编收押在要塞之内的二十五万太平军降卒。 The main work \; first, to reduce some stretcher patients, including some strength low Soldier. Second, under Military Intelligence Division and coordination of black health/guard, exhausts the malignant tumor in armed forces. 其主要的工作,一是裁汰掉一些重伤员,包括一些战力低下的士卒。二是在军情司和黑色卫的配合下,挖掉军中的毒瘤。 In Guiping Pass 3000 Taiping Army surrendered soldier, many Heavenly King deaths are loyal. Not difficult to imagine, counts in 100,000 main forces, will be hiding many Dangerous members. 桂平关的三千太平军降卒中,就有不少天王的死忠。不难想象,数十万大军中,又将隐藏着多少危险分子。 It is not clear them, what discussed reorganizes. 不将他们清楚干净,又何谈整编。 These days, Military Intelligence Division and Black Snake Guard, even was establish soon Mountains and Seas Guard just, inquisition by torture Expert of three big Information organizations, almost gets together in Mulan Fortress. 这段时间,军情司、黑蛇卫,甚至是刚组建不久的山海卫,三大情报机构的刑讯高手,几乎齐聚木兰要塞。 They will act according to clues, logarithmic 100,000 surrendered soldier carry on one by one to know the real situation the investigation. 他们将根据一条条线索,对数十万降卒进行一一摸底排查。 Without a doubt, this is a mammoth white motion, actually has to so act. 毫无疑问,这将是一场声势浩大的白色行动,却不得不如此施为。 Even if so, Ouyang Shuo is unable to guarantee, after this clean, remaining Soldier that completely can trust. Sure, will also have some people to ambush in the armed forces. 即便如此,欧阳朔都无法保证,经过这一番清洗,剩下的就全部都是可以信赖的士卒。肯定,还会有一些人潜伏在军中。 So long as does not affect the general situation, Ouyang Shuo has the boldness, begins using this batch of surrendered soldier boldly. 只要不影响大局,欧阳朔就有魄力,大胆地启用这批降卒。 Naturally, according to the convention, this batch of Taiping Army surrendered soldier, does not become existence of organization system, but must disrupt completely, reorganizes to three big Corps. 当然,按照惯例,这批太平军降卒,将不会成建制的存在,而是要全部打乱,整编到三大军团当中。 Even some quality bad soldier(s), will enroll regional Garrison Division relatively. Meanwhile, elite Soldier in Garrison Division, reassigns to Field Army. 甚至其中一些素质相对较差的兵员,则将编入各地的警备师团。同时,将警备师团中的精锐士卒,抽调至野战军。 Therefore, this is reorganizing Engineering of System nature, related to the aspects of army. Must reorganize proper words really completely, at least takes 2-3 months, even is a longer time. 因此,这将是一项系统性的整编工程,涉及到军队的方方面面。真要全部整编到位的话,至少需要两三个月,甚至是更长的时间。 Because of so, Ouyang Shuo weak starts to Guilin County War. 正是因为如此,欧阳朔才无力发动对桂林郡的大战。 ********** ********** The November 30 date, Ouyang Shuo commanded troops arrive Heavenly Capital City. 十一月三十日,欧阳朔率部抵达天京城。 Falling to the enemy of Guilin County, lets the atmosphere in city, becomes strange. 桂林郡的沦陷,让城中的气氛,也变得诡异起来。 Hence, Heavenly Kingdom Chancellor suddenly discovered that originally in southwest district, can challenge existence of Mountains and Seas City. At once, in the city is undercurrent surges. 至此,天国的大臣们才恍然发现,原来在西南地区,还有能够挑战山海城的存在。一时之间,城内又是暗流涌动。 Is good is firm because of the Yang Xiuqing will, stabilizes the situation temporarily. 好在杨秀清意志坚定,才算暂时稳住局势。 But Ouyang Shuo's arrives, this undercurrent, compels the dead end. 而欧阳朔的到来,则将这股暗流,逼上绝路。
