Chapter 179: Mutiny
Now, my father has been arrested, and Mao Yulong has become the backbone of these soldiers.
When Mao Yulong saw the soldiers walking away, he grabbed San'er: "You hurry up to Houchaomen to find General Li Huanzhang now." β
San'er said with blood-red eyes: "I immediately informed him to withdraw the brothers of the Houchao Gate as well." β
Mao Yulong slapped it over: "If he withdraws, the entire Hangzhou City will really be over, I just used this method to suppress those bullshit officials and let Daddy Zhao go, not that I really want to lose Hangzhou City." So you tell General Li Huanzhang that no matter how much trouble we make here, he must not move there, because he is facing the enemy warship on the Qiantang River, and if he makes trouble with us, the enemy can use the warship to break through the tide gate in an instant, and the whole Hangzhou will be finished. So you tell him not to follow us no matter what, and to ensure the safety of the tide gate. β
This kind of explanation made the young San'er a little confused, and then asked in a daze: "Since we have a trouble here, who will guard the city defense here?" So if the city in it is broken, will the city of Hangzhou be lost? β
Mao Yulong had to explain carefully to his little brother: "First of all, there are more than 10,000 signatories on our city wall, and they will not follow us. Even if the enemy attacks, it will not be able to hit for a while. Another point is that yesterday and tonight we continued to release water on the opposite side, and the opposite side was already a flooded country, so the enemy could not attack in this area at all, so he had to move to another city gate to attack. The enemy outside the city does not yet know the changes that have taken place in our city, and when he is dawn tomorrow, he will test the truth after attacking, and he will be safe tomorrow day. If our method can't make those greedy guys change their minds tomorrow, then this Hangzhou city will be broken. If you can't live because of your own sin, let those officials who will be killed by the court because of the destruction of the city give Father Zhao a burial. β
The reason why these officials dared to act so greedily was that during this enemy sneak attack, the town guard eunuch who controlled the entire city defense and firmly supported Father Zhao was seriously injured and is still unconscious, so he was freed from the coercion of the town guard eunuch, making them feel trapped and out of the cage, so that they could do whatever they wanted. And easily repelled the enemy, showing the enemy's incompetence, there is no need for anyone else to hold this Hangzhou city. This is a huge credit, it should be obtained by these strategizing officials, Yang Shoubei, who has always only listened to the eunuchs in the town, was easily arrested, and tomorrow he will quickly cut through the mess and kill him directly before the eunuchs are awake. And what makes them feel infinitely gratified, the assassination of the enemy, the most responsible Jinyiwei, because seeing more than a dozen officials killed, the town guard eunuch was seriously injured and unconscious, the matter is indeed too big, this matter will bring disastrous consequences to the Jinyiwei here in the future, they also urgently need someone to come out for their own people, with different thoughts, but with a common purpose, Jinyiwei is also willing to cooperate with the actions of the civil officials this time.
The excited civil officials began to gear up, ready to show their ability to strategize, to show that they could take over the entire city defense with these money and food, and that they could win the battle in command.
Just when they were eager to try the spring breeze, but things were unexpected and not as easy as they imagined. And the Jinyi guard, who was about to let Father Zhao carry the black cauldron, suddenly found that there was a change on the city wall. It was originally the backbone of these new soldiers guarding the city wall, and the soldiers of the original nine battalions, without saying a word, directly left their original commanders and ran to the square under the city. Those officials who took over the city defense finally discovered a thing, without the backbone of those soldiers of the ninth battalion, the murderous signing during the day became sheep again. Not to mention combat effectiveness, there have already been signs who have taken advantage of the chaos to run to the city and disappear into the black night.
And they found one more thing, that is, the original soldiers began to greet their families, and slowly gathered under the southern city gate, obviously telling the others that they were ready to escape.
"What are you going to do? Do you ignore the law of kings? Where are you going to take your dependents? β
After Father Zhao was arrested and imprisoned, a group of officials and officials who ran over to grab merit rushed over in a hurry, took the leather whip in his hand, and wantonly beat the soldiers in front of him.
The current 9th Battalion is different from the original, not only does the government have to send half a month's money and food every month, but these guys also have skills and can earn enough food and drink for themselves, such a situation has long made the deputy garrison salivate.
The soldiers have a way to support themselves, so in principle, half a month's money and food can be deducted from the above, so this easy and happy position, and making a fortune, of course, is envied by everyone.
This time the opportunity came, Daddy Yang was taken down and imprisoned, and the first person to replace him was this deputy guard. In his opinion now, at the beginning of the war, the enemy's offensive was strong, and he was indeed afraid of the enemy as if he were dead. But after a battle during the day, he understood a truth, that is, the enemy is not terrible, it is completely easy to repel them, and achieve this immortal feat.
And when Father Yang was arrested and taken out of prison, the commander of the capital had already made it clear that he would hand over this position to him. With such a backstage, what else is there to be afraid of?
After Father Yang accepted the barracks, he sought great benefits for these poor soldiers, and these poor soldiers knew the conscience of heaven and earth better. Therefore, Father Yang has formed an unshakable prestige in this military camp, but this sudden incident has disrupted the morale of the entire military spirit that has just been cultivated. This is really self-inflicted.
The bale was anxious to get to the top of the deputy, and when he swung his whip out, the soldier facing him reached out and grabbed his whip.
"What are you going to do? Rebelling against your boss is the same as rebellion, don't you know that? β
As a result, the soldier replied coldly: "At this time, I don't know whether to rebel or not, anyway, but I know the most clear truth, those of us who have been born in military families for generations are rotten lives, and whoever gives us food will give them my life." Have you given me food? You don't, and the food you say you can give me now is only given to us in times of crisis. In fact, without your bowl of rice, we are under the leadership of Daddy Yang, and we will live the same. Then he snorted and said loudly to the brothers around him: "Since we can eat enough, why do we give them our lives?" β
"Yes, yes, if we can eat ourselves, why should we give them our lives?" The brothers around them responded to the shout together.
"Therefore, if you cut off our food and clothing, and ask for my father's life, we don't need to give you your life, we will go back to the barracks. Anyway, with our 3,000 brothers, there is no problem in holding the barracks, and we will save our lives. Then the brother smiled at the deputy guard, and at the officials who followed him, and said with an indifferent face: "My life is mine, I won't eat your food, right?" So my life is not yours, as for your life or death, from now on, it has nothing to do with my Mao, brothers, walk. Then he went to the gate, and called out to a group of brothers, and took up the great bolt of the gate, and opened the heavy gate.
"Mao Yulong, Mao Yulong, you come out for me." Seeing that he could no longer suppress these soldiers, this deputy garrison also panicked, so he looked for Mao Yulong everywhere, because unconsciously, Mao Yulong had become their natural subordinate.
Mao Yulong ran over with a smile: "I don't know what this adult has to order." β
"You stop them immediately, let them go back to the city, and guard this Hangzhou city."
Mao Yulong looked left and right very innocently, and then spread his hands: "What you old man said is too unreasonable, I am just a cloth cloth, does this so-called Hangzhou matter have anything to do with me?" At the same time, I, a flat-headed commoner, can't command you adults at all, is there any need for you to look for me at this time? We have to be reasonable. β
When a person is solemnly reasoning with you, it already shows that you cannot be reasonable.
The deputy garrison was speechless, but the civil officials who followed him rushed up with confidence: "Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness-"
Mao Yulong directly waved his hand: "Stop, stop, what you said is light, let me ask you, where were you when Father Zhao and I resisted the enemy's attack at the head of the city?" Well, well, I'm not going to talk about this nonsense either. Guarding the city is what you officials should have done, and it has something to do with me? But I resisted the enemy at the head of the city, but I did not see you, so I now say in righteousness, I am a disciple of a saint, and you are a disciple of a saint. I'm going to the city now, and I'm going to resist the enemy, shouldn't you come with me?" Let's go up to the city together to fight the enemy, and when the enemy climbs the city, I will never run away, will you escape? Don't give me any excuses, let's go to town together now. As soon as these words came out, the officials who followed immediately shut up. We only pay attention to the teachings of the saints, and we are only responsible for instructing you to follow the teachings of the saints. But I don't need to practice the teachings of the saints, this is the truth that everyone knows, so if you drag me and you to the city to die together, how can there be such a truth in the world?
