Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mutiny

The soldiers returned to their barracks after a day of intense training, and after dinner. Most of the people hurriedly climbed into the beds and went to sleep, so as not to be depressed the next day by the emergency assembly in the middle of the night, but Zhou Hao, who came from outside the gate, couldn't sleep.

He was the family member of the second master in the original Zuo Lingli, and after the second master died in battle, he traveled with the army as an ordinary soldier. Two days ago, he had also received an order from the Zona, who was in charge of him, that he was going to mutini and leave tonight. I couldn't sleep because I was nervous, but also a little reluctant. Here all soldiers are equal, no one bullies him, and no one makes him do odd jobs. He can also eat like other soldiers, and he doesn't have to look at other people's faces, and the instructor said that he can be promoted after making military achievements, all of which he dreams of. But he couldn't help but think about his family outside the gate, so during today's training, he secretly hid two rounds of ammunition in his hand according to Zhunda's instructions. Zhou Hao secretly got up and walked to the door, tonight he had to give up his future for his family.

"What are you doing?" The sleepy-eyed squad leader saw Zhou Hao who got up secretly.

"Squad leader, I have an upset stomach, it's convenient to go out." Zhou Hao's heart had already risen to his throat, although he didn't have much knowledge, but he knew that if his behavior was discovered, it would be a capital crime.

"Go and come back quickly!" The squad leader didn't pay much attention.

"Okay!" Zhou Hao's forehead was already sweating, and he sped up his steps to walk out.

"Wait!" The squad leader stopped him again from behind.

Zhou Hao almost collapsed on the ground, and his fists were rattled by his own clenching. He didn't have the courage to kill the squad leader who was good to him, but he had the urge to run away.

"Wrap it on, it's cold outside! Don't feel like it's not cold in the north, it's also in October, and the cold wind in the south is also deadly! The squad leader threw his coat to Zhou Hao.

"Thank you, squad leader!" Zhou Hao said with tears in his eyes. Because of his background, except for his family, no one has ever been so sincere to him.

"Go ahead! It's a big guy crying and chirping! The squad leader didn't care, and got back into his bed.

The camp was densely populated with sentry posts to prevent enemy attacks, but because the focus of the defense was outside, there were very few sentry posts in the camp. Except for a few important places guarded by special personnel, such as the central garrison and the arsenal baggage, there were only five or six sentry posts belonging to different companies. And tonight, the soldiers on these sentry posts are all from outside the gate, which is also the reason why the delicate Fight Ritu chose to do it today.

Zhou Hao passed through several virtual sentry posts and came to the training ground, which was the meeting place set by the old men. Because they usually gather here for night training, even if someone finds them, they won't attract attention for a moment. There were no lights on the training ground, and only the heavy gasps of people could be heard in the dark. Although he couldn't see it clearly, Zhou Hao estimated that almost all the three or four hundred people from outside the customs had arrived. Several veteran masters stood around the two big masters, and Zhou Hao didn't see it clearly, and he couldn't find his subordinate master, so he could only find a place to stand and see the situation first.

"How's the guy who went to get the musket?" Zhou Hao heard a voice at the head of the team and asked eagerly.

"The guards of the two arsenals have a squad, and they can't take it for a while, and the people over there are still trying to figure out a way." Another voice replied.

"What are you doing with Fei Najin, just lead someone to rush over and smash the door to grab it." Zhou Hao could hear that this was the voice of his eldest master.

"Dude! The musket is fierce! If you go bare-handed, you will be sent to death, so let's wait for the minions on the sentry to gather the guns! At first, the voice persuaded the eldest master of his house.

It was only after the incorporation of a large number of foreign troops that an arsenal was built in the infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion. After learning that the swords, guns, swords, and halberds of his troops had been melted by Guo Xing'a, and that the troops were now practicing firearms, Bo Ritu formulated a plan to seize the arsenal and break through the siege with arms.

"Two masters, the gun is here." When the appointed time came, the sentries at several sentry posts also left their posts with guns.

"Put away the guns and ammunition." The first voice commanded urgently.

There was a noisy sound at the front of the team, obviously collecting firearms, and a few more people walked into the team and took away all the ammunition that Zhou Hao and the others had hidden in their hands.

"We've got guns this time, so let's do it!" My own eldest man is always so impatient.

"Hmmm! Alright, a few of you will go and seize the arsenal with guns, and we will organize the brigade here, and then we will arrive. The first voice also agreed to do it.

"A few of you go to the whole team, and then go to the arsenal to get a gun, and kill this little suffocating calf of Guoxing'a." The voice of his own leader was full of pride.

"Two great masters, aren't we leaving! The minions just rushed out, why bother seeing blood! A voice said rather squirmishing.

"Phew, you bastard king eight lambs, what benefits did Guo Xing'a give you, and you actually said such bastard words." His own leader roared angrily.

"It's not okay not to fight, our horses have been detained by Guoxing'a, let's run out like this, it won't take half a day for Guoxing's cavalry to catch up with us. Must fight! Disrupted Guoxing's team, took advantage of the chaos to grab horses, and we were able to get away. The first voice said sensibly.

"The two masters, someone really catches up, and the minions can resist desperately to keep the two masters going first, it's useless to fight now." The writhing voice pleaded hoarsely.

"Lao Tzu slaughtered you first, a suffocating calf who eats inside and out." Zhou Hao heard the sound of the blade coming out of its sheath.

"Master, it's not a slave who eats inside and out, it's really impossible to win. In addition to the infantry battalion and cavalry battalion, there are also artillery companies, reconnaissance companies, and guard platoons directly under their jurisdiction, all of which do not surrender their weapons. Once the guns are fired, these troops will definitely come out to fight, and there are more than 300 of them, and we will not be able to defeat them. The voice was shorter, as if on its knees.

"Why don't we have anyone on these three teams?" The first voice asked.

"These three teams must be veterans or people with special military merits, they are all selected from various ministries, and our people are all newcomers, so naturally they can't be selected." The kneeling man explained.

"Damn, this is the descendant of this little calf of Guoxing'a!" The eldest master of his own house scolded again.

"What now?" The eldest lord asked the first voice.

"There's no way, they have to fight, they can see who is who in the dark light, so they can't tell who is who." The first voice spoke firmly.

The writhing voice was still saying something, but Zhou Hao couldn't hear it clearly, and the experts began to enter the crowd. The chaotic three or four hundred people began to adjust their positions in a chaotic manner, and Zhou Hao was also picked out from the Mongols by his own specialization.

"Your eldest brother is so handsome, no matter how messy it is, I can recognize you! Now you're in the team again, and it's even more recognizable! A voice suddenly came from the dark shadows in the distance.

When everyone was stunned, countless torches lit up around the fence around the training ground, and hundreds of soldiers with loaded guns appeared behind the fence with expressionless faces. Rows of guns were pointed at the people in the field, and more than a dozen guns were erected on the high ground not far away.

"Lead the troops to mutiny, sedition! The two of them are ready to vote for Hong Xiuquan! I'm still going to build a mountain on my own! The voice of the hanger came again. He didn't shout hard, but it was loud, and I don't know why.

"Whew! I'm going to sue you for a bad little calf! Zhou Hao saw his leader, Ji Ying, jumping on his feet and shouting. Under the light of the fire, the picture of the sun on his side was like ashes, and he didn't say a word, but stood on the side in a lost mind.

"You're going to ...... Where can you sue me! The voice on the other side was visibly stunned.

"Go to the Jiangnan camp, go to the capital, go to see the Long Live Lord, and Lao Tzu will also sue you, this insidious little king." Ji Ying was thunderous.

"Take a few hundred people to sue the royal court? You can talk about rebellion so freshly and refinedly, I am also convinced of you! The voice on the other side was lazy, obviously intent on provoking Ji Ying.

"You are a little calf, you set up your own battalion, change the official system without permission, expand your armaments privately, change your uniform system, recruit surrender and rebel, all of them are capital crimes, and you dare to frame Lao Tzu for rebellion." Ji Ying shook out the charges of Goxinga that he and Bo Ritu found.

"You've got some ink! can speak in four words and four words, let's teach it! The voice on the other side didn't care about Ji Ying's accusations.

"What if he taught it?" Ji Ying made Zhou Hao embarrassed for him.

"It's fine!" The voice on the other side seemed to laugh secretly for a while.

"In the middle of the night, everyone is bored, so I'll explain it to you and let everyone listen to it. See if I framed you? Or is it your brother who slanders me! The voice on the other side raised a few points.

"First, you said that I set up my own battalion, and the organizational model of the squad, platoon, company and battalion used by our unit is indeed different from that of other troops, but I have reported this matter to the Holy Lord, and the lord commended him: "The officer's unit is cheap to face the enemy, and it can be said to be a solid work. ””

"Second, you say that I am good at changing the official system, I don't understand, I Guo Xing'a is the leader of the Qing Dynasty, and my subordinates are the Xiao Riding School of the Qing Dynasty, the Xiao Riding School, and the general manager, how can there be any changes to the official system. You don't mean these battalion and company commanders in my department! There is no explicit rule in the imperial court for the title of the officer in charge! ”

"Third, if you say that I have expanded my armaments privately, I might as well tell you that my team is more than twice as many as the number of people in the establishment, but I have also played to the imperial court and praised the edict: "The father and son of the two generations have forgotten their selfishness, ruined their families to relieve difficulties, and went to the country as domestic slaves, which is very commendable." ””

"Fourth, you said that I changed the uniform system, and you opened your eyes to see, aren't we wearing my Qing Dynasty's coat and hat? A hundred battles are hard, my armor is torn, from self-insistence to fighting, to your mouth, how can it still become? ”

"Fifth, you said that I recruited a rebel, this is true, I did recruit two hundred long-haired soldiers. However, I reported to the Jiangnan camp, and at the same time played the imperial court. The Jiangnan battalion has already replied, believing that the long-haired soldiers have replied and should be rehabilitated and punished by the headquarters itself. ”

"Is there anything else you have to say?" The voice on the other side asked in a long voice.

Ji Ying was speechless for a while, and even the Bo Ritu on the side was stunned, unable to say a word. Two of the five counts are dispensable, and only three are really fatal. And it is precisely these three articles, two of Guoxing'a moved out of the edict, and one moved out of the official letter of the Jiangnan camp, which is already impeccable.

In the distance, Guoxing Ah was holding an iron horn and thanking Saishan, Xiande, and Fengsheng Ah Lian beside him.
