Chapter 1799: Red Robe and Qincha
Camp Divine Machine?
The faces of all the soldiers couldn't help but panic, especially when they heard the crisp sound of the gun, their first reaction was the Shenji Battalion, which was also stationed in the outer city of Nanjing.
Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and although its status is not as good as that of Beijing, it is also ranked second. Especially when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved north, the barracks here did not move north, and most of the barracks remained.
Although the number of soldiers in each barracks is no longer as high as the 270,000 at its peak, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in the establishment, including the large teaching field battalion, the small teaching field battalion, the Shenji battalion, and the patrol guerrilla battalion.
Several soldiers at the camp gate fled in a hurry, and dozens of fast horses forced their way in.
Each of them held a delicate long gun in his hand, and was dressed in a uniform red robe, with a short knife hanging from his waist, and a refined copper mask on his face.
This......
The soldiers looked at this red-robed cavalry that suddenly appeared, and immediately realized that this was not the Shenji Battalion in Nanjing, and they soon saw three women in another outfit.
The leader was already a girl dressed in a noble unicorn suit, about fourteen or five years old, with very fair skin, a beautiful goose egg face, and those big eyes looked bright.
Her waist was straight, and she looked here with a horse leash, her bright eyes were fearless, and she had a heroic posture that a Ming woman rarely had.
Ning Jiang's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at the injury on Zhu Gui's arm in disbelief.
He thought that his little life was going to be handed over here, but when he saw the big knife in Zhu Gui's hand swing down, there was the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of unification at the camp gate.
Ning Jiang followed everyone towards the gate of the camp, and when he saw the girl who appeared on a red date horse, he blurted out: "Tiger...... Tiger girl? ”
The person who broke in with the red-robed cavalry was none other than Lin Pingping, the chief soldier of Guangxi who was the Nanyang patrol and female officer. This time, when she went to Beijing from Changlin Village on a business trip, and when she passed through this Nanjing city, she also decisively chose to make a move.
Zhu Gui's arm was shot, and the big knife in his hand also fell in response, and his left hand covered the arm that was bleeding and flowing, and gave a loud order: "Take them down!" ”
The soldiers looked at this uninvited guest who broke in, and they also wanted to contain it, and wanted to take down this group of people as soon as possible.
Lin Pingping tightly tightened the horse rope, and said aloud with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "I am ordered to branch the world's Qincha, and the current Nanyang Patrol and female officer Guangxi Chief Soldier Lin Pingping, I have summoned all battalion soldiers to come to quell the chaos in my name!" Ben Qincha solemnly declares: Anyone who is still obsessed with it will be punished as a conspiracy! ”
What the? Governors? Officers and soldiers of various battalions came to quell the rebellion?
When the soldiers in the audience were about to take action, they couldn't help but feel panicked when they heard that this Qincha had summoned the soldiers of all battalions to come.
Their Zhenwu Battalion is a new battalion created to fight against the Japanese, and the number of people is at least 3,000, but it cannot be compared with other barracks. Although many of the barracks were old, weak, sick and disabled, they had no power to parry when the barracks joined forces.
The most important thing is that if they are really characterized as "rebellion" by this Chincha lord, then not only their lives will be at risk, but their families will also suffer.
Zhu Gui knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he even loudly encouraged: "Don't be frightened by her!" Let's kill her now, those adults in the inner city who are greedy for life and afraid of death will definitely compromise with us, this is our real way to live! ”
Ning Jiang saw that Lin Ping might be in danger, and his heart immediately hung up. Not to mention that the tiger girl is in danger to save him, if the tiger girl has three strengths and two shortcomings, how can he explain to Lin Haoran.
"Zhu Gui, she's a messenger!"
Several generals in the audience had a deep friendship with Zhu Gui, but they did not completely lose their minds, and one of them directly pointed out the seriousness of the matter and responded.
And it is! Back then, when they killed the life of Huang Maoguan, the right attendant of the household department, it was to kill the imperial court official, and if they killed Lin Ping, then it would be a plot to kill Qincha, and no matter how greedy Wei Guogong and Li Sui were for life and fear death, they would not be able to fall over the wall and die because Lin usually fell over the wall.
Shen Yan was still a son dressed as a man, and at this time she said loudly: "My lord Qincha will give you one last chance!" Now put down your arms and surrender immediately, my lord Qincha can open the net, otherwise he will be punished for rebellion and punish the nine clans! ”
People inevitably have a psychological gap, it is that their life in Nanjing City is too comfortable, so they are unwilling to return to their hometown barracks. It's just that in the face of a beheading, punishment and acquittal, many people choose the latter without thinking.
Shen Yan chose to shout this at this time, throwing out this option, which is undoubtedly timely and effective.
"I surrender!"
"I surrender!"
"I didn't rebel, I surrender!"
……
Many soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, although they did want to stay in Nanjing, but at this moment they only hoped that they and their families could live.
The voices seemed to come and go, just this one shout, more than half of the soldiers had already lost their weapons.
The reason why such an effect can be achieved is that on the one hand, it is the threat that Qin Chalin usually brings, on the other hand, it is Ning Jiang's previous analysis of current affairs, and the most important thing is that too many of them have no objection.
If the mutiny five years ago was a bit of a sentiment, this time it was out of greed.
From the beginning to the end, they did not think of rebellion, but only wanted to force the big men in the city who were greedy for life and fear of death to compromise, and give them great benefits as they did five years ago.
It's just that he saw that things were no longer possible, and he knew that rebelling with their only 3,000 men and horses was simply self-defeating, so he naturally chose to throw away his weapons and surrender.
Zhu Gui watched the development of the situation move towards the uncontrollable aspect, and immediately hurriedly corrected the truth: "Let's not kill her, capture her first, and use her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the adults in our inner city!" ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the more greedy soldiers were moved. After all, there are only a few dozen people in this group of red-robed cavalry, and if Lord Qincha is captured, it can indeed force those adults in the inner city who are greedy for life and afraid of death to compromise.
"Murder traitor!"
But at this moment, there were shouts from the east and west sides of the barracks, which made some soldiers who had just gained courage hurriedly drop their weapons.
This is actually a confrontation of courage and audacity, and when Lin Ping's side does not make concessions, there are only two paths in front of them: rebellion and surrender.
It's just that the troops of the various camps in Nanjing City are coming here, not to mention that the vast majority of them have chosen to surrender, even if their three thousand people are united, it will be useless.
In this school martial arts field of 3,000 people, almost all the soldiers knelt on the ground, and in the end, only Zhu Gui and dozens of personal soldiers on the stage were left standing there with weapons in hand.
Zhu Gui looked at the black and large number of colleagues who surrendered in the audience, he was angry and angry in his heart, and gave an order with a hideous face: "Go on, kill them!" ”
At this moment, only by capturing this Qincha can he have a chance to coerce the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion to follow him to continue the mutiny, forcing the adults in the city to reach an agreement with them.
Mu Ying was also dressed in a red robe, and he had already planned to take action, but in the face of the dozens of soldiers who took the initiative to pounce, he waved his hand and said: "Ready!" ”
The well-trained red-robed soldier raised a delicate rifle and did not rush to pull the trigger at the approaching soldier, but calmly took aim.
Far from being the bulky bird gun of the Ming Dynasty, it was not only light and easy to carry, but also greatly improved in range and accuracy.
"Rush!"
Dozens of soldiers rushed straight towards here, with knives, guns, halberds, etc., all of them looked like well-trained soldiers, and they already wanted to slaughter all the people here.
"Shoot!"
Mu Ying saw that when he gave enough, and he was already in the best range, he immediately waved his big hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of red-robed soldiers pulled the plate machine in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who rushed to the front over there were like prey sent to the muzzle, and they were shot and fell to the ground bleeding.
The soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion behind realized the danger and stopped, and they also realized that this kind of bird gun was different from the bulky bird guns in their barracks, it was a sharp weapon that killed people invisibly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the shot was complete, one of the Red Horsemen handed the rifle to her companion behind, who in turn handed her another rifle to her, and she raised her gun to shoot.
This set of operations is like a cloud of peers, and the two cooperate very tacitly, so that the interval between shots is greatly shortened, and even there is no interval for shooting.
The soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion who were squatting on the ground looked at this scene, and they were secretly dumbfounded, very curious about when Daming came out with this kind of mysterious army with combat effectiveness.
"Don't, I'll ......"
One of the Zhenwu Battalion soldiers standing at the end watched his companions fall to the ground, just about to change their minds and surrender, but he had already missed the opportunity to get a buckshot through his brow.
The last soldier had just raised his hand, but he fell heavily and fell in a pool of blood.
An autumn wind blew gently, and dozens of corpses were already lying on the ground, and blood was all over the barracks.
This......
The soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion looked at this scene, and their faces turned pale. It seems that in the blink of an eye, the soldier who had just been alive and well was now a pile of dead corpses.
The most terrifying thing is that they were shot and killed before they could get close, and this mysterious red-robed army was simply a messenger of death, easily cutting off the lives of ordinary people like them.
How so!
Zhu Gui watched his own soldiers being shot, knew that the general situation was gone, and was about to turn around and flee, when he was shot in the leg again, and his body fell heavily to the ground.
"Since you have taken the lead in rebellion, then wait for the court to punish you according to the law!" Lin usually knew that this was the leader of the rebellion, and immediately said to Zhu Gui, who fell to the ground.
Zhu Gui defended and said: "We didn't rebel!" The imperial court withheld our military salary, and we just asked for military salary, at most we shouldn't ask for 300,000 silver! ”
"You're still thinking about the silver, don't you know what's wrong with you?" Shen Yan faced Zhu Gui's defense, but reprimanded with contempt: "If the imperial court really gives you 300,000 taels of silver this time, you will be able to be bought by the Japanese 600,000 taels one day, and indulge in such blackmail from the imperial court, not to mention expecting you to protect your family and defend the country, it will only ruin the foundation of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
When the soldiers in the audience heard this, they lowered their heads in shame.
They were born in the military, and they originally had a heart to protect their families and defend the country. Maybe they did something wrong five years ago, and after getting 100,000 taels of silver, they were going further and further on the road of extortion.
At that time, they just wanted to ask for an explanation, hoping that the old practice would be restored, for only a few coins of silver.
As a result, Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, and the eunuchs who guarded Nanjing were greedy for life and afraid of death, and even agreed to give them 100,000 taels of silver, so that they saw a means of seeking money that they had never thought of.
It was also from that time that they seemed to gradually forget their mission, forgot their duty to protect their home and country, and thought most about their own interests.
The imperial court's decision to disband the Zhenwu camp harmed their interests, so they were easily bewitched by Zhu Gui and made this move, which was tantamount to rebellion.
Shen Yan looked at these soldiers and knew that they were shameful, so she nodded lightly at Mu Ying, and asked the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion to find ropes to tie them up with each other.
Lin usually came straight to the high platform, snorted lightly, and glanced at Ning Jiang proudly.
"Thank you...... The usual life-saving grace! Ning Jiang also picked up a life, and expressed his gratitude to Lin Pingping.
Lin Ping's eyebrows were slightly raised, his beautiful big eyes were clearly smiling, and there were already remnants of the shadow of his childhood, but he waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, who made you so good with my brother!" ”
"You're the Tiger Girl!" Chen Liangyu looked up at Lin Pingping and asked curiously.
Lin Ping nodded lightly, and then glanced at Ning Jiang suspiciously, guessing what kind of relationship Ning Jiang had with this girl.
Seeing this, Ning Jiang didn't intend to explain, but gave Lin Ping a look, and pointed to Qian Chong, the eunuch of Nanjing who was tied to a pillar and was dying.
Qian Chong was tortured a lot, and drank a large sip of water, only then did he recover a little of his spirit, and said gratefully to Lin Ping: "Thank you, Lord Qincha, if it weren't for you, the little life of the miscellaneous family would be explained here!" ”
"Father-in-law Qian is polite!" Lin Ping responded with a smile.
Qian Chong pointed to the soldiers below and said, "Lord Qincha, do you really plan to let these wicked people go?" ”
"Ning Jiang, what do you think should be done about this?" Lin Ping didn't say anything immediately, but looked at Ning Jiang and asked.
Ning Jiang said seriously: "They are also bewitched by others, and now they know that they have lost their way, as long as they have not committed great treachery and evil, let them return to their hometown, how about it?" ”
"Father-in-law Qian, do you think it's appropriate?" Lin Ping didn't nod immediately, but asked Qian Chong.
Father-in-law Qian looked at others giving him face, so he naturally nodded in agreement very cooperatively.
By the time the Marquis of Lingbi came with the soldiers of the small sect camp, the soldiers of the Zhenwu camp here had already been tied up here, and Lin Pingping, Ning Jiang and Qian Chong, the eunuch of Nanjing Town, entered the inner city together.
