Liu Bao and others are like this, but the surrounding soldiers are not like this, hearing that someone took the lead in asking for salary, forty or fifty people came around at once, everyone stood behind Liu Bao, and the momentum was far from comparable at the beginning?
Wang Chaoyang shook his head, hoping to be more sober, and pointed at Liu Bao and the others: "Okay, you ungrateful people, Lao Tzu gave you food and clothing, and now you want to rebel?" ”
Although they were quite afraid in the past, but now the family really needs money, Liu Bao and the others glanced at each other, and said together: "My lord, as the saying goes, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, the brothers eat all day and night as if they are begging, and they have not received any military pay for several months, and the family really needs money."

I also hope that the adults can distribute a little first, and the brothers can solve the urgent need. ”
Wang Chaoyang was furious, slapped the table fiercely, and more than 30 pro-soldiers poured out, and then pointed at Liu Bao and the others: "It's the other way around, if you don't want to be raided and wiped out of the nine clans or something, get out of Lao Tzu immediately."
Military salary, military salary, now there is a famine for many years, what kind of military salary does Lao Tzu have? ”
Seeing Wang Chaoyang getting angry, the surrounding pro-soldiers flocked to him, and when he saw the pro-soldiers, some of the sober-minded and timid secretly moved to the back, while some good deeds were not like this, everyone coaxed in the back, and some even questioned.
Five days ago, everyone clearly saw Wang Chaoyang and his soldiers carrying out four large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from the ancient city of Yunshan, and it was rumored in the army that these four boxes of jewelry were left by the local tyrants, with more than 4,000 taels of silver.
This time, the squire of Yilong County donated 1,000 taels of silver.
The soldiers of the left division are rewarded, and the good ones are as many as 5 taels of silver, and even those men in the army also have 1 tael of silver.
The left division of the left division has a rich reward, why didn't the general Wang Chaoyang take out the silver two rewards?
Seeing that everyone actually wanted to fight the idea of the four boxes of silver, Wang Chaoyang was even more annoyed, and besides, if either the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, or the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, if this troublesome matter was really as the soldiers expected, how would he lead the troops to fight in the future?
Wang Chaoyang was furious and immediately ordered the arrest of people, and there were many people involved in the demand, and the two sides fought on the spot.
In the end, it intensified, except for the left division of the left department, all the soldiers of the battalion joined in the trouble, and the generals Wang Chaoyang, Yu Tianji, and Wang Gui were killed, and the money that Wang Chaoyang seized by relying on his power was also taken away.
The rebels poured into the city, forcing the rich families in the city to donate, and if they did not, they only took their families away.
Now that the war is in chaos, everyone is very scared, seeing that the family is taken away, and the family is crying out for the sky and the land, they hurriedly take out the money at the bottom of the box, so that the family can be safe.
In the distance the camp was eating and drinking, suddenly heard the Chinese army officers and soldiers making a salary, the general Wang Chaoyang was killed, the officers and soldiers in the battalion had rushed into the city, Yang Xuan was shocked, although he led his troops to fight in succession in the past few months, and also eliminated some stubborn people in the army last month, but the leading troops are shallow, and the main generals, officers and soldiers are far from reaching the point of hydrosol bonding.
Like Li Yuanhong of the Wuchang Uprising, he trembled and gathered all the officers and soldiers of the division with drums, and then ordered the camp gate to be closed and everyone was strictly forbidden to go out.
Looking at the panicked crowd, Yang Xuan clenched his fists and enlightened again and again, starting from daily training, weekday rewards, bonus distribution, and food improvement, and almost burst into tears for the bereavement of the brothers who died and were injured in the battle.
Everyone was also quite moved, especially to see such a Wenju person practicing with everyone all day and night, carrying the burden with everyone during the march, making the seizures public, and eating for half a month.
But the whole battalion is in arrears, and the left division is no exception, although one person who is less enlisted for labor is given more than one tael of silver, although the two battles have received more than 7 or 8 taels of silver, and the worse one has 2 taels, but the arrears are three months, and everyone has a relatively bad heart.
Especially after hearing that other departments and bureaus had entered the city to loot merchants, people were even more restless and got pink eye, and they even wanted to encourage Yang Xuan to lead his troops to loot together.
Shaking his head again and again, Yang Xuan enlightened: "Brothers, many of us are from bitter cold backgrounds, of course we know that life is not easy.
But as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way, and it is natural for us to put our heads on the waistband of our trousers, receive military salaries, and receive silver rewards.
If we ask for money, we can earn it openly, just like after these two battles, a good brother can take seven or eight taels of silver, and the average brother has four or five taels, and no matter how bad it is, there are two or three taels of silver.
We are all poor families, we are all our own families, why should we rob the squires like other brothers and do things that hurt heaven and reason?"
A soldier stood up and arched his hand: "My lord, since the first time my lord took charge of the army, our brothers still look at it strangely, and see how this master leads the troops to fight.
In the past three months, the brothers have admired the adults so much, not only do they eat together, sleep together, train together, and bear the burden together with the brothers every day, but more importantly, the adults really care for the brothers.
But the battlefield capture is limited, the brothers have two bloody battles, the good brothers only have seven or eight taels of silver reward, generally three or four taels, the poor brothers only have more than 2 taels of silver, the brothers in the ghost gate to go once, only a few months of military salary, everyone is very psychologically angry. ”
Yang Xuan smiled, shook his head and said: "Brothers, this is not what everyone thinks, just take this capture of Yunshan Ancient City as an example, the general carried away four boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, but before that, Lao Tzu also hid two boxes of silver.
In addition to the reward of 1,000 taels of silver, in addition to the 20 taels of silver for the brothers who died in battle, the wounded brothers took care of them, and the seriously injured brothers were given 2 taels of silver for their travel expenses after they were discharged from the army, and a certain amount of silver was given, and we also had 2,000 taels of silver left, which was enough for the brothers' military salaries. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, in the past month, Yang Xuan spared no effort to compensate the brothers who died in the battle and seriously injured brothers, and everyone had always thought that Yang Xuan had paid out of his own pocket in the past.
For a month and a half, there were rumors in the army about Yang Xuan's divorce, and everyone knew that he was compensated with three thousand taels of silver.
Yang Xuan was also very calm, anyway, the six boxes of jewelry didn't want to fill his pockets, the assistant Fan Mingshan and the secretary Wang Guangming handled it personally, and the hundred presidents Guo Chonglie and Yao Zhijiao also knew that in addition to the specific amount that was unwilling to be disclosed, there was nothing else to hide.
When everyone heard that the company had thousands of taels of silver loot, plus Yang Xuan announced that he would distribute the full amount after the situation calmed down, everyone turned their worries into joy, and many people even kowtowed to thank them.
On the other hand, the other divisions participated in the looting, and it was very abrupt that the left division did not participate, Yang Xuan sent his cronies to Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, who was sitting in the capital city, and Long Wenguang, a political officer in northern Sichuan, who was supervising the battle on the front line, and on the other hand, he asked people to dig trenches to prevent the rebel ministries from leading their troops to attack.
After a night of fear, early the next morning, the rebels sent people to contact, hoping that Yang Xuan could be the leader of the group.
Yang Xuan shook his head secretly, he was not as powerless as Li Yuanhong, he had hundreds of elite divisions under his command, and he must not be held hostage by the rebels.
In addition, the general Zhu Hualong, the Guangyuan garrison Yang Zhan, the northern Sichuan political staff Long Wenguang, the general Liu Jiayin and other heavy troops were outside, and the rebellion was absolutely unsuccessful.
However, the rebels were numerous, and in the past, everyone belonged to the same battalion and belonged to the robe, so if such a big thing happened, they had to ignore it, and immediately asked people to bring messengers.
Chen Yingzong, the head of the hundred people, and the two chief flags who participated in the rebellion rushed in, arched his hand and said: "Lord Zong, please save these three thousand brothers."
That Wang Chaoyang was greedy, the army was in arrears for several months, and he also seized the four boxes of jewels seized by your company in the ancient city of Yunshan, and seized the thousand taels of silver sent by the squire of Yilong.
The brothers are strong-blooded, and they know that they have made a big mistake now, and now they are all killed by the brothers, and now they are the people in charge of the army, and I hope that the adults will come out to uphold justice. ”
Yang Xuan was shocked in his heart, one battalion and three departments, in addition to the generals, there are thousands of generals or something? Were all these middle and high-ranking generals killed?
Everyone asked one after another, Yang Xuan shook his head again and again, becoming the leader of the rebel army almost embarked on a road of no return, almost giving up all his fame, and becoming enemies of the official army.
In addition, just like Li Yuanhong of the Wuchang Uprising, he did not participate in the rebellion, and it must be difficult to trust the rebel generals, or he was forced to surrender, or he did not meet the rebel generals at all.
And if you don't join the rebels, you have a lot of options.
According to the general practice of the Ming Dynasty, after such a rebellion, the government and the imperial court will inevitably focus on pacification, supplemented by extermination.
He belonged to the same battalion as the rebels, and he had the friendship of robes in the past, so he could come forward to appease everyone and quell the mutiny.
After thinking about it, Yang Xuan told everyone that it was better for him to stay in the official army, and he could become a microphone for both sides and a lubricant between the two sides.
Everyone was quite disappointed, especially which two general flags thought that Yang Xuan was too calculating, everyone was willing to take the risk to lobby, but they actually refused on the spot, and they were quite disappointed.
After sending the three of them away, Yang Xuan was anxious, on the one hand, he sent scouts to various places to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he was worried that the rebels would attack, so he led the guards to patrol the front line and secretly strengthen the vigilance.
After staying up like this for two days, at noon on the third day, he received letters from the governor's yamen and the daotai yamen one after another, and in addition to being shocked, he hoped that Yang Xuan could turn the tide, stabilize the army's morale, and try to appease everyone.
Yang Xuan was overjoyed and sent a messenger to Yilong County to meet the rebel generals.
After plundering the large households in the city, the rebels were worried about a sneak attack by the official army, and now they have all entered the city to prevent the official army from besieging it.
