Chapter 57. Iron Mountain Mutiny

It's another skill that Chongzhen can't learn.

Cash-for-work!

Work for the general, and you can give a big steamed bun at noon. There is a lot of dry, good quality, and fish to eat, and the labor force in this era is really not ordinary cheap, and people in half the city come out in the morning.

Not to mention, the war is not good, the work of this group of Ming troops is really orderly, the tuntian in the south of the city is almost next to the edge of the city, this person lined up into a wall to pass the sprouted sweet potatoes and the corn kernels that come out of the leaves, without Adelena to instruct again, these old farmers are skilled in cultivating the seeds into the ditch as tightly as eating and sleeping, Mao Jue ordered five days, this is only one morning, 10,000 people spread out together, and more than 1,000 acres of land have become a tender green.

Mao Jue's words are really counting, as soon as noon, the best big steamed buns are not mixed with wheat bran at all, and they are served with snow and snow, and dozens of pigs are killed, and several large barrels of pickled fish are put into the pot, and there is no limit to a few, how much can be eaten, and it doesn't matter if you take back two of them for your family, this Iron Mountain City is really happy.

But not everyone was happy to come out, watching even the cauldron of pasty pig food was taken out, hundreds of cauldrons were smoking there, and a large group of sloppy men in ragged clothes, with untidy faces and messy beards, were curled up together, sourly gnawing on their nests.

"Fuck, what kind of world is this? Seven cents of silver to support the family, three points of silver to raise our big soldiers, these poor sticks and mud legs eat better than us, people have fish and meat and big steamed buns to eat, what do we eat, pig food!"

Shouting angrily, a soldier with two extraordinarily long mouseaches, a sallow and slender face, and a rather fierce temperament, slammed half of the cold and hard yellow noodle wo on the ground in a bad manner.

"Yes! These days are really not people's lives, Lao Tzu is not a soldier just to eat a mouthful, damn, the mud legs are full, Lao Tzu is hungry!"

Ying He, a donkey-faced guy with extraordinarily thick triangular eyes and eye bags also followed Ying He, especially his eyes dripping and rolling, and he also lowered his voice.

"I really can't fucking figure it out, whether our general is a general or a county master! Read too many books, right? Take our military rations and give them to those muddy legs, who will give him his life at the critical moment? ”

"What? Our military rations? ”

Seeing that the big white steamed bun was held in the black hand and stuffed into the equally black mouth, the rat whisker soldier's head immediately exploded, scolded the damn, and was about to go to the city with a knife, so panicked that several city gate soldiers hurriedly dragged him behind his back, while shouting in confusion.

"Boss! Master, are you crazy? ”

"Abandon your job and walk around, but you have to go through the camp with arrows to storm the inner city!"

"Damn, even if you cut Lao Tzu, what the hell? Lao Tzu's family is all dead in the Hunhe River! The only one left is still fucking angry, Lao Tzu is going to break into the yamen, Lao Tzu wants his mother to ask the boy who hasn't grown all the hair, will he lead the army!"

"Oops! Lord! Let's go up and hit him with the three fires of the new official, just go and send a head, you are calm! ”

"I can't bear this anger, Lao Tzu eats this nest, and Lao Tzu can't eat the knife!"

"Listen to me!"

It was still the triangular eyes of the goldfish eye bubble just now, and there was a small muttering next to the rat's whisker ears, and at first his face was full of firearms, but listening to it, the rat's whisker eyes were straight, and he subconsciously asked.

"Is that true?"

"Of course!"

It's really a bit anticlimactic, and the rat-bearded man actually walked back to the city gate with a grunt pant like a deflated ball, as if nothing had happened, and picked up the nest head that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

And the goldfish eye, who no longer knew when he slipped up the city wall, made do with another group of soldiers patrolling the city, and continued to say what he had just said.

…………

Mao Jue asked for five days, but on the third day, some wasteland in the north of the city was basically planted, and around Tieshan City, a green field seemed to have just arrived in spring, and he didn't realize that the autumn wind was near.

And the busy people of Tieshan Town couldn't stop, in order to keep the free lunch that they had finally eaten, there were actually more than 20 bastards who destroyed several acres of wheat fields in the south of the city that had not been trampled by Jiannu and the army overnight, and were caught by Zhao Cheng's men and horses.

With concerns, Zhao Cheng didn't dare to deal with it himself, and personally sent it to the general yamen, and Mao Jue, who couldn't cry or laugh, also waved his hand helplessly, and rewarded more than 20 military sticks and drove him out.

In addition to this episode, Mao Jue's new official seems to have burned out the three fires, and he is very satisfied with his martial arts, and Mao Jue seems to have become arrogant.

On the 15th, the General's Mansion organized a large-scale autumn hunt, fresh clothes and angry horses, Mao Jue took his two beautiful maids of Ming and Yang to swagger through the city, put the military affairs aside, and played crazy in the nearby Yuegu River for three days, and then returned to the city exhausted.

And that night, Mao Jue also ordered a big banquet for the generals, and set up a flowing water banquet in the general's yamen.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road! This picture is really in the iron mountain appeared in the world, the lantern hung from the yamen to the east city gate, the banquet is really a variety of delicacies of the mountains and seas, pheasants, toads, even bear's paws and deer whips, these things that can be squatted in prison for several years in later generations, are a table and a plate, from the yamen to the second gate, everywhere is the lively sound of drinking and punching.

"Come, give it all to Lao Tzu to drink, this time we are not drunk and will not return!"

At the innermost part of the yamen, Mao Jue really made his little young face given by God like an old man, and the stubble came out of a circle, and his face was obviously blown by the knife wind in the old forest these days, and the old face of the excitement was flushed, and he banged on the table frantically like going out to drink in the dormitory in college.

Sycophants are indispensable everywhere, and now Su Changmei is playing such a role, her bun face is bright, and she is also shouting with a wine glass in a daze.

"There are a lot of generals! This demeanor, this elegance, even if the seven sages of the bamboo forest are resurrected, it is not comparable to our generals, which of you is not? ”

The tongue is drunk, the words are a little unclear, this fart has not forgotten to shoot it, but the people at the table with Mao Jue are not at all in harmony, Zhao Cheng, who has the most scheming, is holding the wine glass with a hesitant look, Zhao Yong is still muttering something quietly, and Tian Tao on the other side is pouring a cup of stuffy wine, and the two northern thousand presidents are close to him, even if He Baobao, who is the most grassy on weekdays, is at the end with a gloomy face, The chopsticks in hand tapped the bowl one after another.

It's been the seventh day, and Mao Jue still doesn't mean to distribute military rations at all!

In previous years, most of the Tieshan Town belonged to the Tun Army, even if it was the household registration, it was also the Tun Household, although the military situation here was very different from the Inland Guard, the sergeant was not a bachelor after the slaughter of the family from the Tun Hu, but most of the time, the military town can still be self-sufficient, as long as the spring is not green and yellow when the Phi Dao is transferred a little to deal with some, the year has basically passed.

But this year's Tartar attack is significantly stronger than in previous years, several military towns in the north are now harvested, a while ago Tian Tao even did not hesitate to turn his face directly with Zhao Cheng for this, now there is no military food for them, seeing that Mao Jue took this grain and either gave it to the mud legs lavishly, or he was merry and happy, several military leaders were completely unable to sit still.

The ugly music creaked and squeaked like saws of wood, and then later, Su Yi was worried and did not dare to persuade a glass of wine poured, this wine passed three rounds, just when Mao Jue was shouting that he didn't know what to say about the topic was excited, the cold wine glass slammed on the ground, the music stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere on the wine table was as if it was frozen, and the eyes of several generals with troops converged on Tian Tao.

It didn't seem to understand what was going on, and Mao Jue, who had drunk half a fragment, stretched out his finger and laughed and mocked.

"Lao Tian, you are still known as the first fierce general of our Iron Mountain, such a little wine, the wine glass can't be held, your fierce strength won't be on the belly of the girl, right? Haha!"

This joke is cold enough, but in normal times, a group of generals have to laugh forward and backward, but this time, except for the professional sycophant Su Changmei, who laughed like an inverted gourd, the other seven people on the table, each of them laughed out loud, but Tian Tao held the table and shook his feet suddenly, and hugged his fist fiercely at the upper position with a gloomy face.

"General, the last general has no form, dare to ask when will this military ration be distributed?"

"Military rations?"

Listening to these two words is like listening to a Jurassic dinosaur, Mao Jue stood up in a drunken and dazed chair, first staggered, and was helped down by Su Yi before standing firmly, the corners of his mouth were dripping with wine, and he shook his head with a big tongue and muttered.

"What military rations? Ben, this general has checked the account book, this year's military salary and rations have already been distributed in the spring!"

"A few days ago, Mao Shuai sent twenty boatloads of grain from Phi Island, isn't it military food?"

He Mantou was also anxious, and it was rare to be a pioneer in a hurry, slapping the table and standing up suddenly, a pair of catfish eyes stared at Mao Jue with scarlet and greedy eyes, and shouted eagerly.

But this Mao Jue is really angry and can't pay for his life, and he still didn't notice what this gang of soldiers meant, so he shook his head in confusion and said.

"Who do you have that little food? That's Lao Tzu and my Lao Tzu want to get pocket money, my Lao Tzu knows that Lao Tzu is used to being extravagant, and it is specially for Lao Tzu to support his family, so don't worry about it, come on! Let's keep drinking!"

As he spoke, Mao Jue raised a glass again, raised his head and poured it into his stomach, but this time, the seven military leaders didn't even mean to drink with him, Zhao Yong and Zhao Cheng lowered their heads, and the remaining five didn't all glance at each other fiercely.

Today, Mao Jue held a banquet, even if he was a general and a standard camp, he also rewarded some food, with cooked meat and wine pots in his arms, and the standard camp that patrolled the night had no heart to work, so he simply found a street and surrounded it, drinking wine and eating meat, and also boxing there.

This head is having fun, but a soldier can't hold back his urine, hide in the alley next to him, untie the root of his life and put up the water, a bubble of the monkey to this tour has not been finished, and then the dim lights on the street, he saw the black shadow in the alley, like a ghost shadow rushed over, all of a sudden, the soldier shouted and scolded with his throat.

"Donkey balls, fucking people, hell of a god!"

"Grandpa wants your life!"

Before the words fell, the black shadow in front of him had already accelerated and rushed over, and with a click, the knife passed directly through the chest, and when the golden hoop stick was struck, the general standard battalion soldier turned over and fell down in disbelief, the cloak fell, and the bleak light of the lantern revealed that it was the rat whisker gang of the city gate guards a few days ago, and seeing the blood, it made this outlaw even more crazy, and he roared fiercely with the red knife.

"Brothers, look for that dog officer to ask for military salary, and those who dare to stop will be fucking stabbed!"

The screams have completely startled the standard camp of the patrol, but it is too late, in the screams, the alleys on all sides, I don't know how many people rushed out, along the main road of Tieshan City, like a black wave, rushed to the general yamen.

Mutiny, uproar!
