One life for another

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, from the apocalypse to the second year of Chongzhen, there were many soldiers who mutinied.

For this group of people, they dare to play with their lives if they are not paid.

Moreover, they were trained to be organized and disciplined than the hungry, and the harm caused by their mutiny was greater.

"My lord, it's almost."

On the top floor of the Kuixing Building in Datong Mansion, Yu Zhong gave Wang Zezhi a report.

"Operation Camp Firebolt."

"Yes."

The herald received the order and sent out 3,000 firecrackers from the firecracker battalion.

"You are already surrounded, lay down your arms immediately, surrender is your only way out!

Don't resist uselessly! ”

Well-armed musketeers surrounded the troubled soldiers.

The soldiers, who had been glad that they had obtained enough money, suddenly panicked.

"Don't panic, what are you afraid of? We are asking for the silver we deserve, and we are not really rebelling, and besides, there are 3,000 of us, and we are not muddy things, so we are afraid of it. ”

The veteran soldier who took the lead shouted loudly and stabilized the panicked soldier.

He escorted Yang Ying towards the gate.

He didn't see it, the rhythmic spy in the crowd quietly disappeared into the crowd and retreated towards the backyard.

"Where's the Commander-in-Chief?" The veteran escorted Yang Yingchao to the door and asked loudly.

"Isn't it possible for you to see the commander-in-chief?" The company commander of the fire battalion replied disdainfully.

"Let's ask the chief soldier, Lao Tzu is just here to get back the money we deserve, which royal law did we violate?" Yang Yingchao replied without showing weakness.

"Gathering troops to mutiny is a big crime of killing the head, your salary is deducted and you can react to your superiors, you don't say a word, you capture the prison army's mansion, rob the prison army's private property, what's the difference between the robbers?"

"Robbers? How did Lao Tzu become robbers? Lao Tzu pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers and lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, for just a few taels of silver?

It's not that the chief soldier didn't pay us, it's this dog supervisor who took Lao Tzu's salary and silver to gamble, and lost it all, and Lao Tzu didn't ask him for salary, but asked who wanted to go?

Dare to ask the chief soldier, is it difficult to ask the old men to ask you to go?

Although Lao Tzu doesn't know a single big word, but we understand reason, we won't ask the chief soldier for it, let's ask for this dog prison army.

Did the boys do it wrong?

Did you do it wrong? ”

"Did you do it wrong?"

"Did you do it wrong?"

"Did you do it wrong?"

Behind the firecrackers, Wang Zezhi heard these deafening and indignant words and walked out.

"You have done nothing wrong, but when you capture the mansion of the prison army, the general soldier must give an explanation to the imperial court.

On behalf of the imperial court, the supervising army is the assistant military affairs of the imperial court, and the inspectors are the generals, they represent the imperial court and are the face of the current emperor.

Your current behavior is a naked slap in the face of the emperor.

This time, it is understandable that you and others gathered troops to mutiny, and the general army is in charge, only the culprit is arrested, and the rest of the people are organized as miners, so let's keep their lives and mine.

What are you still doing?

Lay down your arms, this is your last chance to live. ”

Wang Zezhi shouted, and the soldiers in the front row trembled and loosened their weapons in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers who had gathered together to mutiny laid down their weapons.

The veteran who took the lead looked left and right, and he knew that the morale was gone, and he couldn't do anything.

"Adult, the little one knows that he will not escape death, and the little one still has an eighty old mother in the family, and the little one begs the adult to show mercy to her something to eat."

The veteran who took the lead put down his weapon, let go of Yang Yingchao, and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Yang Yingchao was saved, and ran behind Wang Zezhi with a rolling belt, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and looked at his subordinates in fear.

"As the chief soldier of a province, I am not strict under control, which caused you to gather troops to mutiny, I am also responsible, you can go with peace of mind, I will support your mother."

Wang Zeyi waved his hand, and the firecracker shot the veteran dead.

He then stepped forward and carried his body away and put it in a coffin.

Then, the other two firecrackers escorted Yang Yingchao and brought him to the side of the coffin.

"Doctor Wang, Lord Wang, this is... Why is that? ”

On this day, Yang Yingchao was stimulated too much, and he originally thought he was saved.

didn't expect Wang Zezhi's people to arrest him.

"Embezzling military salaries, does Yang Jianjun know what the crime is?

You are the emperor's person, representing the imperial court, I will not kill you.

The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, you will supervise the army and return to Beijing to listen to the emperor's fate. ”

"No, no, you can't do this, I didn't swallow the military salary, their military salary will arrive in three days, and when the time comes, not only will their military salary arrive, but the small one will also prepare 100,000 taels of filial piety for you, you can't send me back to Beijing."

Yang Yingchao was afraid, no one knew better than him what a cold person Emperor Chongzhen was to his subordinates.

If he is charged with embezzling military salaries and causing the soldiers to mutiny, he is sure that he will not survive as long as he returns to Beijing.

When Wang Zezhi heard Yang Yingchao's words, he turned his head, stared at him with a dead man's eyes, and said lightly: "I really didn't expect it, it turns out that Yang Jianjun has privately swallowed so much military salary?"

This 100,000 taels of silver, tsk, which army's salary is this?

Could it be the salary of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces? ”

"Nope! ~”

Yang Yingchao is crazy, Wang Zezhi's words will definitely make Chongzhen kill him without hesitation.

If Chongzhen knew about these things, even if Wang Zezhi didn't say this, Chongzhen would also suspect him, not to mention that he had already caused a mutiny among the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command.

As long as Yang Yingchao returns to Beijing, he will die.

"Shut his mouth, come here, get back the salary that Yang Jianjun was greedy for, and then send it back to the Beijing Division, and wait for the emperor to break it."

"Order."

"Hmm~" Yang Yingchao's eyes were about to split, and he suddenly understood that the casino and the silver were a game made by Wang Zezhi.

He's going to kill him with this game.

Yang Yingchao was puzzled, he didn't know when he was and how he offended Wang Zezhi.

He is afraid that he will not know until he dies, and it is the biggest crime for him to come to Wang Zezhi's army as a eunuch to supervise the army.

If it was a Wenchen who came to supervise the army, Wang Zezhi might also examine the Wenchen's temperament before deciding how to deal with him.

For Yang Yingchao, from the time he came, Wang Zezhi sentenced him to death.

Nothing else, no one knows Yang Yingchao's temperament better than Wang Zezhi, a person who has crossed over.

In the second year of Chongzhen, on the sixth day of the eighth month, the gold and silver treasures that Yang Yingchao retrieved from Beijing arrived.

Wang Zezhi roughly estimated that the wealth in the hands of Yang Yingchao reached 180,000 taels.

You must know that ordinary people can't earn 10,000 taels in their lifetime.

Yang Yingchao is really not a good thing.

With these gold, silver and jewelry, plus the life of a veteran, Wang Zezhi did not believe that Yang Yingchao would not die.

Yang Yingchao is dead, Wang Zezhi wants to make the court no longer dare to send a prison army to his army.

Because Wang Zezhi knew that the prison troops sent by Chongzhen were all eunuchs.

Few of the eunuchs in the last years of the Ming Dynasty were clean.

As long as an unclean eunuch comes to his army, something will definitely happen.

It's a big deal, Wang Zezhi will exchange another life for the life of a prison guard.

It's not Wang Zezhi's cold-bloodedness, like this kind of slippery old and weak soldier, Wang Zezhi can't look down on him at all.

The most fundamental reason is that these people themselves are useless, if Wang Zezhi doesn't kill him now, they will also become a bane in the future, and sooner or later they will be killed by Wang Zezhi.

That's why they're so prone to mutiny.
