Section 188 Mutiny

This night, many soldiers in Xin'an did not sleep at ease, one by one the barracks were connected back and forth, this is an army with strong clan characteristics, the soldiers are all from Xin'an large and small clans, none of them are from the homeless who have lost everything, none of them are from unorganized outsiders, all are Xin'an people, all are clan children, all have clan guarantees, so they naturally have an organization in the army, that is, clan ties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They are looking for friends, looking for fellow villagers, looking for relatives, and constantly flowing, and the Guangfu refuses to pay salaries, and also dismisses the officials of Lord Zhu, not only the officials of Lord Zhu, but also guesses that they are going to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and there will be no military pay in the future, what should everyone do?

After boiling all night, the next day, for the first time in the history of the Yongying Battalion in Xin'an County, a large-scale desertion of soldiers began.

Many soldiers returned home, begged their parents for help, asked the patriarch for help, and many clan patriarchs were also in tandem, Zhu Jinglun's military salary to the soldiers was really rich, and for some poor clans whose entire clan was tenant for others, it was really a reward that could not be given up. Many patriarchs were alarmed, they couldn't ignore it, they were also in tandem, but their way was to find the government, hoping that Xin'an County could continue to use these soldiers, as for the money, they also knew that if they didn't fight, it would be impossible for the imperial court to raise soldiers, so they were willing to reduce their salaries, even if they gave half of it.

But they couldn't find anyone to talk about, because Zhu Jinglun was gone, he was dismissed by the elderly, and he couldn't live in the county office, no one knew where he went, the soldiers found an organization, but Xin'an County was unorganized.

Where can Zhu Jinglun go, there seems to be no home for him in this world, but there is a tomb that belongs to him, his mother's lonely grave in Xiangshan County, he returned to Xiangshan and asked the Lin family to help him rebuild the grass house, continue to guard the lonely grave, and read the book of heaven.

Zhu Jinglun was always full of strange feelings about the woman buried in the grave, not guilt, nor nostalgia, but emotion, he had heard it from many people, this woman had been insisting that her son Zhu Er was dead since Ma Laosan and Hou Jin went back to see her and only brought Zhu Jinglun's words.

Is there really such a deep bond between life and life?

He didn't know, but he knew that soon there would be a lot of lives, caught up in a general situation, and a lot of lives would be lost, and it was all because of him, and he vowed that if he succeeded this time, he would make this tragedy, in this kingdom disappear forever, and if this time failed, he would disappear forever.

He has been preparing for so long, he has endured for so long, he has broken through many moral defenses of human beings, and he has also done many bad deeds that have annihilated his conscience, he has pressed everything, officially confronted this world, fought a duel with this era, and fought hard with this system.

On the third day of guarding the tomb, Zhu Jinglun heard the news that Xin'an County was in chaos, which was not plotted by Zhu Jinglun, but happened naturally.

The county order is not there, and the county is not there, although this county cannot be said to have a power vacuum, but it is a group of dragons without a leader.

The cause of the chaos is not those county warriors, they are organized.

Their patriarch and squire didn't find Zhu Jinglun, the county order, and found Hou Jin, the commander, but Hou Jin said that he hadn't seen a son's military salary for a few months, and he couldn't help it, but even so, they still didn't make trouble.

Most of these people have bad deeds, smoking, gambling, drinking, and they can't save much money in normal times, but now they don't have military salaries, and they don't have big cigarettes, and they are full of anger.

The county is empty, and it is the scum of the Tan people, it was a mixed gang in the past, there is no robbery, there is often a pit abduction and deception, and there is no scruple about smoking addiction, they directly leveled a few tobacco houses in the county, and after a big cigarette smoke, they found that they had broken into a big disaster, and actually killed the thugs of the tobacco house, did not do two endlessly, killed people and set fire, and then ran to Chiwan to rob a foreign company, where is the place where the rich flow of oil.

Their attack was blocked by the Hurd police force, 500 policemen were enough to block 2,000 unorganized and undisciplined Tanmin soldiers, Chiwan Harbor was threatened, the Xiangyong army lost its organization at this time, Hou Jin could not move the army, there was no military pay, and each family went to do its own business, as if it had been disbanded overnight.

Hurd immediately sent a letter to Hong Kong asking for help, Erjin had returned to China, but Bao Ling still had a thousand soldiers under his command, and immediately sent an additional 500 people to support, the port was held, but the foreigners' soldiers landed, the foreigners' warships also entered the port, and the foreigners appeared in Chiwan Port, which caused a chain of chaos, and the residents of Chiwan Village were afraid that the foreigners' army would have an impact on their current wealth and status, so their townsmen formed up as soon as possible, and then rang the temple bells, which was the rule set by Zhu Jinglun during a exercise. As soon as the bell rang, support from all directions, and the township warriors from all four miles and eight townships rushed over, including those county warriors who had just left the barracks and were still carrying rifles.

They surrounded Chiwan Harbor, and it was a mess, and no one could say anything about the situation.

The people of Chiwan Village said that the foreigners wanted to invade Hong Kong, the foreigners said that the Tan people wanted to loot, and the townspeople said that they wanted to let the foreign soldiers withdraw, but the foreigners resolutely refused, and Chiwan Village firmly believed that the foreigners were going to take Hong Kong, and the confrontation began.

Zhu Jinglun didn't expect this situation, but he knew that it would definitely be chaotic, without a power vacuum, there could be no military coup, this is an iron law, a strict organization, it represents a kind of order, and before breaking this organization, this order cannot be eliminated, so he deliberately let Xin'an fall into chaos, chaos, and then reshuffle the cards, rebuild the rules, and the order of faith is reborn in the embers of the old system.

I don't know how long this chaos will last, Zhu Jinglun hopes to be faster, and don't let him wait too long.

I won't let him wait too long, because there are some people who can't afford to wait.

There are now a total of 3,000 Hakka soldiers in the Wukeng area, and it is rare that there are 1,000 of them who are literate and literate.

Fang Shan recruits troops here, as long as those who are the poorest, the poor can't survive, it doesn't matter if they are small or thin, but they don't want an old one, but there is an exception for one kind of person, that is, a scholar, as long as he is literate, he wants it, the guests in the Wukeng area have indeed reached the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there are quite some superior scholars here in the past, who are willing to do anything for a bite of food.

But once the government suddenly cut off their salaries.

What would they do when Fang Shan told them that the government had not only cut off their salaries, but also dismissed Zhu Jinglun, a good official who had asked for their life, and was going to start cutting troops?

They don't know, they rely on Zhu Jinglun's military salary, their family has to rely on this military salary, this military salary is rich enough, but this is a mountainous area, the outside is blocked by the Turen regiment, the price is high, their military salary can at most maintain the subsistence problem of them and their families, and if the military salary is cut off, it is the rations.

They didn't know what to do, Fang Shan told them what to do, they didn't know where to go, Fang Shan told them where to go.

Fang Shan told them that they had to ask for money, and Fang Shan told them to go to Guangzhou, go to Guangzhou to ask for money, and find the governor to live!

A group of Hakka warriors who have families and are most inseparable from military salaries have great trust in Fang Shan, who has always given them a way to live.

So they went down the mountain, carrying rifles on their backs, and walked out of the mountain, bypassing the blockade of all the natives.

They belong to Gaoming, and Foshan is only separated by a river, and across the river is the boundary of Nanhai County, not far from Foshan Town.

They did not cross the river, but went north along the river, until they found the boat at the junction of Gaoming and Gaoyao counties, and it was no longer Nanhai County that crossed the river, but Baini City, Sanshui County, north of Nanhai County.

Bai Ni City is the Bai Ni Town of later generations, here is located in the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, surrounded by fertile mulberry fields, producing high-grade silkworm cocoons, developed waterways, becoming the main gathering place of rich businessmen and giants, known as "the first big port in Xijiang", "people from ten continents in the market", "ten thousand merchants in the sound of the rising sea", is a quite prosperous town.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of ships in this kind of commercial town, and under the half-lease and half-compulsion, dozens of merchant ships of different sizes have been obtained, and then the order is set and sailed directly from the water to Guangzhou City.

It was already evening in the upper reaches of Guangzhou, and when I went to Guangzhou, I couldn't go to the city at the gate, which was a big trouble, so I stayed overnight on the riverside tidal flats, and deliberately waited until the next morning, and then went down the river to Guangzhou City.

A small boat was the first to land, and the vigilance here was very lax, and all the soldiers were extremely lazy, all of them were green battalion soldiers, and they had no energy.

There were a total of about 20 brave soldiers on their small boat, wearing the brave clothes of Xin'an County, wearing hats and rifles, which were still very conspicuous, and they gathered on the dock and lined up, and various slogans attracted many onlookers, but until they were about to reach the city gate, the green battalion soldiers asked them.

The green battalion soldiers in front of the city gate asked them where they were brave, but they could be ordered to prevent them.

An officer ordered him to take a break and walked straight to the gates.

The attitude is arrogant: "Lao Tzu is the county warrior of Xin'an County, come to find the adults to ask for salary, don't be nosy!" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned his men into the city.

The officers of the green battalion greeted a lot of people here, and some of them were already ready to close the door, when they heard that it was a trouble, they hummed and laughed, didn't say anything, waved their hands, and his people immediately went their own way, letting these twenty or so Xin'an counties bravely enter the city.

The reason is very simple, they also owe money on the top, and they can pay a little every month, but they don't even have half a salary, if they can't scavenge the merchants and people here at the city gate, they can't even afford to eat.

So the little officer thinks that it's good to let Xin'an County make a fuss, a few days ago their county order came to make trouble, the whole city knows about it, the county order is good, I really haven't heard of the county lord helping the head of the soldier to ask for a salary, but unfortunately it was also just done, now in this world, maybe it's okay to make a fuss, if the people of Xin'an County can make a fuss, everyone may follow the light.

In a trance, I suddenly saw another boat of soldiers docking, and they still came to make trouble, but this time the officers of the green battalion did not stop them, pretending not to see them and let them enter the city.

Boatload after boat, the officer of the green battalion noticed that something was wrong, and immediately asked the soldiers to close the city gate, this trouble is too evil, he doesn't care about dozens of people, hundreds of people are a little too much, but now he sees hundreds of people coming, how dare he be careless.

But it was too late, and suddenly they found that the county Yong who was put into the city by them had quietly gathered and formed a formation at some point, and when they saw their actions, the foreign guns had been aimed at them, not only the city gate he guarded, but he found that the small south gate of the inner city was also controlled.

And outside the city gate, there were still soldiers landing on the shore, and the number of them was probably thousands, and a thought suddenly popped up in the officer's mind: This is not a salary, this is a mutiny! (To be continued.) )
