"Damn, Lao Tzu worked so hard for them, but he didn't even pay money! It's been a few months, brothers, let's find the Flag Envoy to talk about it! ”

"Yes, I haven't seen a jingle in my pocket for half a year, look at what you're eating? Do you still want to die like this? We don't say yes! Look for the Bunting Theory to go! ”

"Yes, let's ......"

Forty miles outside the city of Yuanzhou, in the Buyuan camp, because the military salary was not paid this month, the soldiers were angry, and there were faint signs of mutiny. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

Na Buyuan's personal guard came to inform the battalion that the monthly salary was delayed, and when he saw the complaints in the battalion, he immediately changed his face and said to one of the most ferocious soldiers: "Yo? What are you trying to do? Yes? It's shameless, isn't it? ”

The soldier pushed him and smiled disdainfully at the other soldiers, "Isn't it just a few days late?" I really don't know what you're anxious about? A bunch of poor ghosts, is it possible that you still want to rebel?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those officers and soldiers below showed fear, although everyone complained, but if they really let them rebel, they really didn't have the courage and courage, after all, the soldiers killed them ordinary soldiers, and they wouldn't blink their eyelids.

Seeing that the soldier in front of him didn't speak, the guard was very proud, and continued to provoke: "Didn't that person just now go to the Infantry Banner Envoy?" Come on, come on, Uncle Ben will accompany you, come out and come out, what about people? Why isn't it noisy? ”

At this moment, a scolded soldier mustered up the courage to stand up and said to the guard: "We just want to ask when the arrears of the salary will be paid, the family is waiting for this money to make ends meet, it has been several months, you can't give nothing, brother, you go and talk to the envoy of the Infantry Banner, ask him when he will send this salary, even if it is a month, if we don't pay it again, we will ......."

At this point, the soldier stopped talking, and the meaning was obvious.

"Hehe......" the guard smiled, "What if you don't send it?" How can it be? Huh?" After speaking, he slapped him heavily in front of everyone, and then kicked him to the side......

"Say! What can you do if you don't send it? What can I do? Well? What can you poor people do? The guard kept slapping the soldier on the ground with the scabbard in his hand, and his expression was very hideous, and he didn't treat these soldiers as human beings at all. But he didn't seem to notice that the eyes of the officers and soldiers around him at this time had changed from fear to coldness, and it could be said that he had appeared on the verge of mutiny.

"Tell you to pay money." When the guards saw that the officers and soldiers on the ground had been cleaned up by themselves, they stopped and shouted to the other officers and soldiers around him: "Who still wants to find the step flag to beg for money!" ”

After the guard roared angrily, seeing that everyone didn't react at all, he immediately thought that they were shocked by himself, but when he looked at the group of officers and soldiers who were still waiting to talk, he found that the atmosphere was very different from before.

It was strangely quiet, and there was no fear in the eyes of those officers and soldiers looking at them, but instead there was a biting coldness, as if looking at a dead corpse.

The pro-soldier was stunned, and immediately shouted with courage: "Get back to your respective camp tents for me!" As he spoke, he slowly paced towards the gate of the barracks, for the atmosphere in the barracks was too strange now.

"Close the door." Just as the soldier was about to walk out of the camp gate a few steps, suddenly there was a cold voice at the door.

Subsequently, the gate of the camp was slowly closed by the officers and soldiers, and the Buyuan guards who came were locked in the camp.

"You...... What do you want to do...... Lao Tzu is the envoy of the Foot Flag Regiment...... Dare to mess around, beware of destroying your entire clan......" The guards saw that the officers and soldiers around him looked at him, his eyes were full of hostility, and he was a little unfavorable for a while, and wanted to show his identity to force everyone in front of him not to dare to make a mistake to himself.

"Huh...... I'm almost out of food, Lao Tzu still cares if you're some bullshit guard, now you give Lao Tzu to death first! A dull voice sounded from behind the guard, and before the guard could hear the sound of the pit, he saw a half-bloody waist knife stuck in his chest......

The officer and soldier who killed the guard with a knife is named Hu Guangcai, who is the hundred leaders of this battalion flag, and has a high reputation in the battalion on weekdays, and is very popular with the soldiers below.

Not to mention the ordinary officers and soldiers under his command, even the low-level generals of these Shu clans were also deducted from their salaries by the bosses of the Shu clan, and the bottom from top to bottom were full of complaints, and there was no comfort for them from above, and they would only force them to submit by force, and over time, this resentment became more and more abundant, and finally went to the road of mutiny.

After Hu Guangcai killed the guard with one sword, the surrounding officers and soldiers calmed down suddenly, looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, trembling and not knowing what to do next.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers around him were at a loss, Hu Guangcai jumped on top of a board car and shouted: "Brothers, you have also seen that this step does not treat us as human beings at all!" It was enough to deduct half a year's salary from us, and today we killed his dog leg when I couldn't bear it! Anyway, this capital crime has already been committed, instead of waiting for Bu Yuan to send someone to kill us, it is better to simply do nothing and keep going, but fuck it! We will now go to the battalions and regiments to gather the brothers who have been oppressed by this group of dog officials, and go to the city of Yuanzhou together to ask Governor Jiang for an explanation! Ask him if he cares if we live or die as soldiers! ”

"Yes, we're going to the Governor for an explanation! There's really no way to live......"

"We all listen to Hu Baichang, so let's gather the brothers......"

I saw that all the officers and soldiers were indignant, and some people began to respond, and finally the entire camp of more than 2,000 people began to shout.

Hu Guangcai saw that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and he added a blood-inflating sentence later: "If Governor Jiang doesn't care about us!" Then we will lay down Yuanzhou City and grab grain! Grab the money! Snatch! ”

"Grab food! Grab the money! Snatch! ”

"Grab food! Grab the money! Snatch! ”

The continuous sound in the camp was rising wave after wave, and a huge mutiny riot was about to break out in Yuanzhou Province.

……

June 27, the Governor's Mansion of Yuanzhou......

Jiang Xun looked at the pile of booklets asking for help from all over Yuanzhou on the table, and couldn't help frowning. Since that day, after Hu Guangcai killed Buyuan's personal guards, more than tens of thousands of soldiers under the rule of various banner regiments who had been deducted from their salaries have defected and killed their superiors to join the team of "begging for wages". Bu Yuan and the other generals of various territories could not suppress the offensive of the rebellious troops at all, and led their respective cronies to hide in Yuanzhou City, which was called defending Yuanzhou City, but in fact, it was to escape the huge bandits.

"This group of moths is really a big deal for me, and my monthly full military salary has been swallowed up!" Jiang Xun paced back and forth in the room, trembling with anger. Of course, he knew that the fuse of this mutiny incident was caused by the general's deduction of salary and silver, and he thought that at most he could deduct three achievements, but Bu Yuan's gang was good, only half a year in a row did not pay a penny of silver, and all of them entered the banner regiment at all levels to put their pockets, this kind of eating is already difficult to see how it is impossible to see the anger of the sky and the resentment of the people, how can it not cause the soldiers to mutiny!

"My lord, Hu Guangcai, Yao Shaohuang, and Luo Qingshan's three rebellious armies of more than 40,000 people have gathered in Duzhuang, thirty miles outside the city yesterday, and there are many rebel armies from all over the city are rushing to the outside of Yuanzhou City, and their subordinates are estimated to arrive in the city in less than two days." Jiang Xun's capable subordinates are respectfully reporting the movements of the rebellion to Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun heard the words and asked, "When will the soldiers and horses of this mansion be able to come back?"

The subordinate replied: "Calculate the time, it will take seven days at the earliest, and we must ensure that there are no accidents on the way." ”

After hearing this, Jiang Xun sat down in front of the desk and began to think. Now there are less than 3,000 soldiers left in his city, and although there are 20,000 defenders left, but because they are newly recruited, neither training nor morale is enough to deal with those wolf-like and chaotic troops. In these days, due to the chaos of the army, corpses have been scattered everywhere in the suburbs, many manors have been burned, and the losses are not heavy, and the most important thing is that if it is not handled well, the prestige of the Jiang family in the Far East and even the entire Great Zhou will be greatly reduced, which is something that Jiang Xun and Jiang Yan are extremely unwilling to see.

After a long time, Jiang Xun asked: "Has the letter from this government asking for help from the Song, He, and Yu families ever sent someone to send it?" Can they send troops to relieve the siege?"

The subordinate said: "The subordinates have already sent someone to deliver, then the He family refused to send troops to support on the grounds of bandits and riots in the territory, and the Yu family did not send troops on the grounds of guarding against the Hulan people, as for the Song family, they were willing to send troops to come, but they were helpless to be blocked by the rebels in Xiwen Town and could not move......"

"These bastards!" Jiang Xun trembled angrily, these Far Eastern family gate valves seemed to have made up their minds to see the Jiang family's jokes.

"Your Excellency." The subordinate said, "In fact, as long as you defend Yuanzhou City, those chaotic soldiers will never be able to attack it, and tens of thousands of Hulan people have besieged the city for more than a month, and they can only look at the city and sigh, how can these chaotic troops do anything?" Just wait for the soldiers of the Lord's Mansion to come back to help, and you can break this chaotic army in one go. ”

Jiang Xun said: "Of course I know this, but what should I do in the next few days?" Watching the rebellious army wreak havoc under the city of Yuanzhou? Alas! After saying that, he sighed heavily and said: "It's a pity that there is no soldier to fight in my hands at the moment, and I am annoyed." ”

When the subordinate heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, and he walked up to Jiang Xun and said softly: "My lord, in fact, you still have an army available in your hand, you might as well transfer it to try." ”

"Jokes." Jiang Xun glared at him and said, "Don't you know how many troops this government has?" Where are the available armies now?"

The subordinate said: "Han Ling, Liu Ce, Jingwei Battalion." ”

"Huh?" The subordinate reminded Jiang Xun in just seven words, yes, how did he forget the army on the Han Tomb's side.

Jiang Xun had ordered people to visit all parts of the Han Tombs before, as Qin Mo and Ye Bin said, all the mountain bandits under Liu Ce's rule had indeed been cleared, and Jiang Xun was originally going to be summoned in person to commend him and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but Jiang Ruoyan's unhappiness at the birthday banquet made him linger all the time, so he was angry and did not summon him.

But now that the rebellious army is raging in all directions, the defenders everywhere are closed, Jiang Xun is indeed unavailable, and after being reminded by his subordinates, he can only let Liu Ce try it now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xun immediately said to his subordinates: "The matter has come to this, you immediately repair a book, send someone to Hanling, and let Liu Ce quickly lead the army to Yuanzhou to help defend the city, without further ado, leave immediately!" ”

"Subordinates obey." The subordinate was immediately ordered to retreat.

Seeing his subordinates leaving, Jiang Xun got up and paced back and forth and muttered, "Liu Ce, this time the mansion wants to see if you can help the mansion solve the current problem......

At this time, the boundary of the Han Tomb was ......

"Moo......"

The 3,500 head of ploughing cattle ordered by Liu Ce have all been delivered to the territory, and are now being delivered to the villagers who have cultivated the farmland under Ye Bin's arrangement, of course, these are all leased.

"My lord, a ploughing ox is twelve taels of silver, and three thousand five hundred heads are worth forty-two thousand taels." The cattle dealer stood respectfully outside the "General's Mansion" and said to Liu Ce, the abacus in his hand snapped.

"Guan Qi, you are very good! These cattle are indeed robust. Liu Ce patted a cow and said to the merchant named Guan Qi with a smile.

That Guan Qi put away his abacus and said with a smile: "To serve the adults, naturally do your best, the little one has known Ye Gongzi for a long time, and no one dares to get along with Ye Gongzi, not to mention such a big deal, the price given by the general makes the small one make a profit, how dare you use those crooked brains." ”

Liu Ce is very satisfied with Guan Qi's attitude, this person is sincere, and sure enough, the people Ye Bin has made friends with are very reliable, not just blindly making that black money with a clear conscience.

"Guan Qi, let's go to my account room to settle the money later, there are still many things that you need to help me in the future." Liu Ce has a good impression of Guan Qi, if this person can, he doesn't mind cooperating with him for a long time.

"Thank you, sir!" Guan Qi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and then said: "My lord, forgive me for taking the liberty of being a little bit, when I came to Hanling City, I saw that the salt products used by each household were all of the highest quality, but Hanling City was not rich, so I guess there were a lot of such salt products in my hands, right?" ”

"You're observant." Liu Ce sighed that the businessman's sense of smell was so sensitive, and he discovered the business opportunity so quickly, so he no longer concealed it and said, "That's right, I do have a lot of this kind of salt in my hands now......
