Chapter 123: The Chongqing Mutiny

Early in the morning, Wang Shouzhong found Huang Shoukui, the general soldier of Chongqing, who was in the headquarters of the town, and saw that he was drinking alcohol, so he slapped it on the table and said anxiously:

"Aren't you showing up yet?"

"When is it, still drinking!"

Wang Shouzhong, the general army of Jiangjin, stationed in Jiangjin City for five years, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli was ordered to aid Liao, and led his troops to Chongqing in February of the first year of the Apocalypse.

But before he could go to Liaodong, he rebelled and trapped him in Chongqing.

"What do you want?" Huang Shoukui knew that these days, these people were discussing something in private, but they just kept a deaf ear.

So far, he is also very simple.

"I'm just waiting for your words-" Wang Shouzhong patted his thigh and said: "A few days ago, the chief Ma Hong, the chief inspector of the warehouse, immediately cut off the spies, and he had to ensure that the warehouse was not lost, you know this!" ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, you say what do you want me to do?"

Huang Shoukui sneered and said, "In the past few days, this has been making a lot of noise in the army, and I don't think it's difficult to know." ”

"You went to ask for credit for Ma Hong, so how did Xu Keqiu do it?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Shouzhong was angry, he pointed at himself, raised his voice, and said: "Ma Hong is my person, he Xu Keqiu doesn't ask for credit, and he also says that he is guilty." ”

"He's a fart sin, Baokura Baoli, this is a crime?"

"Then I'm going to burn Kuraguri with a fire now, is this meritorious? He's sorry, he can think of it! ”

He chattered there for a long time, but Huang Shoukui didn't say anything, and his expression was always calm.

Wang Shouzhong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, his eyes moved, he sat down and calmed down for a while before continuing:

"Ma Hong has now been arrested and imprisoned by Xu Keqiu, saying that he is going to report to Jingshi and convict him."

"Lao Huang, let me ask you, are you standing with us in this matter, or are you standing with those civil officials who are grinding their mouths?"

As he spoke, Wang Shouzhong was also staring at Huang Shoukui.

The latter laughed and asked rhetorically: "Did Mahon do something wrong?" ”

"No, he has merit!"

"Then what are you asking me to do by this, Ma Hong is your subordinate, but he is also a brother of the official army, he has done nothing wrong, I, Huang Shoukui, this time, will help the manager and help the relatives."

"I knew I was right!"

Wang Shouzhong slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly, and said, "Then let's discuss and discuss, how to do it later, and your subordinates will also shout." ”

Huang Shoukui didn't say anything and waited for the following.

I saw Wang Shouzhong take out a map of the whole city from his sleeve, and each street market was marked in great detail, he spread the map on the table, and said:

"That's what we think, I'll go to Xu Keqiu later, and ask him to point to the school parade... And then..."

After hearing this, Huang Shoukui frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do, arrest those civil officials?" ”

Wang Shouzhong smiled slyly and said:

"This time we are not rebelling, but begging for money and justice! I want your people to control those civil officials and not let them cause trouble..."

"This Chongqing City General Soldier is just you and me, but there are a lot of people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, I don't want to turn into a rebellion!"

Huang Shoukui also knows that begging for money and rebellion, although they are both two words, the meaning is very different, if it is really classified as a rebellion, it is not his life's business, I am afraid that it will also cause trouble to his family.

"Okay, let's do it!"

......

After receiving the news of Wang Shouzhong, the general soldier of Jiangjin, Xu Keqiu was overjoyed, put down his government affairs, and hurriedly went to the school to count the sergeants.

It's just that Xu Keqiu looked left and right on the school field, and felt that the quality of these soldiers was really uneven.

The Jiang Jinbing in front of him is a bad old man who is seventy or eighty, older than himself, and a little kid who is in his teens and still wearing open crotch pants.

Soon, he made a move - to dismiss the old and weak soldiers.

Xu Keqiu announced on the spot that among the subordinates of Wang Shouzhong, the general soldier of Jiangjin, all the old men and children who were eating and waiting for death and had no actual combat effect would be eliminated, leaving only the young and strong to be trained.

The order to dismiss the useless old and weak in the army is actually good, but if it is conveyed at this time, it will only provoke strong resistance from all the officers and men.

Originally, the Ming army in the area around Chongqing had already been unable to recover and owed a lot of food.

Xu Keqiu's desire to lay off the old and weak naturally raises a question, that is, where does the salary owed by those who have been dismissed as soldiers come from?

For a time, the crowd was furious.

Wang Shouzhong stood aside, looking a little surprised, he looked at Xu Keqiu, as if he was thinking about what was in this head.

Ben also thought that he would take the lead and ask for money, and then let the soldiers below echo and scare him.

This is good, as soon as the order to abolish the old and weak came out, there was no need for Wang Shouzhong to deliberately make noise, and the soldiers were like a pot of boiling water, directly frying the pot.

"Futai wants to drive us away?"

"We have been soldiers for the imperial court for many years, and now we have to abolish it, and at least we must distribute the arrears of food and salaries truthfully!"

"There is no land at home, and there is no craftsmanship, if you don't pay your salary, you will die if you leave!"

All the soldiers approached, Wang Shouzhong was shocked, seeing that the situation was not right, and ordered the soldiers who had planned to scare Xu Keqiu to pacify the situation.

"What are you going to do, you can't rebel!"

Xu Keqiu looked shocked, took a few steps back, and said again: "In that case, let Ben Fu read the roster and see if it is true!" ”

"Look at it, what is there to fear!"

The soldiers were still not convinced, but they were relieved and stopped.

"Liu Sheng!" Xu Keqiu pronounced the name.

The next moment, a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old stood in front of him, wearing a helmet with his head crooked, which was very funny.

Xu Keqiu frowned, snorted coldly, and said:

"It's just a country boy, and you still want to cheat the imperial court about the salary?"

As soon as the voice fell, it was noisy again.

A thousand general manager crossed the crowd and stepped forward and shouted: "What, do you think he is too young? ”

Xu Keqiu hid behind Wang Shouzhong's personal soldiers, but he looked unafraid, and sneered:

"You dare to talk to Ben Fu like this, you can't rebel!"

Unexpectedly, this Qian always did not hesitate and blurted out, "What if such a court is the opposite!" ”

After that, Mr. Qian couldn't help but speak, pulled out his saber, stepped forward with the sword, broke through the blockade of his own soldiers in an instant, and stabbed Xu Keqiu in the chest first.

Xu Keqiu stared at the knife in a daze, until it was withdrawn from his body, he still had a look of disbelief.

In an instant, the school fell silent.

Jiangjin General Wang Shouzhong and his personal soldiers were all stunned and looked at Xu Keqiu, who fell to the ground and kept twitching, and said that something was wrong.

Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu died, and this matter was completely big, and a troublesome salary really turned into a rebellion!

Wang Shouzhong was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he never thought about rebellion, this time he just wanted to seek justice for his subordinates, but he didn't expect such a result.

He was furious, grabbed and stabbed Xu Keqiu to death by the collar, and asked:

"Why hast thou fallen me into injustice?"

Everyone was submissive and did not dare to speak again.

Mr. Qian also lost the arrogance of Fang Cai, and was stared at by his own chief soldiers, sitting on the ground, unable to say a word.

At this moment, Huang Shoukui ran over with his own soldiers and said anxiously: "Your Majesty has defeated the army of Extravagant Chongming, and the royal car has arrived outside the city!" ”

Before the words landed, Huang Shoukui also stood in place, looking like the sky had fallen, and after a long time, he muttered and asked:

"The one who died, it's Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan!?"

Wang Shouzhong glanced at him, put the saber in his hand still on the ground, and said with a miserable smile: "I want to work hard all my life to guard the border for the imperial court, but I didn't realize it..."

"Do you know that you have made me miserable this time!" Huang Shoukui paused, trembled his hands, and grabbed Wang Shouzhong's armor tightly, "I really want to beat you up and get angry!" ”

At this moment, he regretted ten thousand times in his heart, so he shouldn't have participated in this!
