Chapter 31: The Rebellion Begins
In Qilin City, in a street wing room on the third floor of Huiwen Building, a man was sitting by the window, quietly watching the scene of traffic on the streets of Qilin City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The man was about 30 years old, wearing an ordinary cloth robe, and had a scar on his broad forehead. This scar not only did not ruin the man's face, but added a bit of fierceness and domineering to him.
Looking around, I saw that on the commercial street not far from Huiwen Building, the flow of people was boiling, and the pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages were constantly passing through, and the noisy sound resounded throughout the city center.
With the end of the continuous rain, taking advantage of this good weather, more merchants poured into the city, constantly buying and selling materials between various shops and stalls, and horse-drawn carriages continued to transport all kinds of materials from outside the city, and the status of Qilin City as the largest commercial center in the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
"The second brother is right, this Qilin City is really prosperous, and it is not unreasonable for Sima Yu to rise rapidly in such a short period of time, and this trip does not seem to be in vain."
After coming to this world, when did the man with scar ever see a big city as prosperous as Qilin City in the perennial battle, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Master, this Qilin City is only because there has been no war for a long time to have today's achievements, if I can have such a stable environment in the three counties of Hejiao, Ji'an, and Laisu, I think the third and fourth brothers can also run it so prosperous."
The scarred man's admiring tone provoked one of the servants beside him to disagree, and said with a look of disgrief.
"Hehe, you think this is too simple, if you talk about marching and fighting, my third brother and I are not afraid of him Sima Yu, but if you are governing the place, you have to admit that you are far inferior to him. The excellent equipment of the sergeants and soldiers of the Yangwu Army and the excellent treatment of the soldiers have long been spread throughout Yongzhou, which is also the reason why the Yangwu Army can maintain such a strong combat power. In the entire territory of Yongzhou today, I am afraid that a single force cannot match it."
The man with the scar smiled leisurely when he heard this, and glanced at the young servant in Tsing Yi beside him, but his tone seemed a little doting.
"Hmph, no matter how strong he is, this time he doesn't want to admit it, once he loses control of Qilin City and even the entire Qilin County, he Sima Yu will decline even if his strength is strong" The servant in Tsing Yi curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"The purpose of our trip is to come and see the reality of Yangwujun, as for what the second brother said in his letter, hmph, we can't offend a strong enemy for him, if we can do it with this manpower and those merchants in Qilin City, then Sima Yu is not a worry for us."
The scar man's face sank when he heard this, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was full of disdain.
"Got it, Fourth Brother!"
The servant in Tsing Yi pouted and whispered.
"Alright, let's go, the time is almost up, it's time for us to go to the appointment!"
Seeing this, the man with the scar shook his head helplessly, got up and walked out of the room.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Outside Baiyi Town, a dense sound of footsteps continued to sound, and a well-equipped soldier was hurrying towards Baiyi Town.
After this period of development, Baiyi Village, which was originally used to house the Aoshan tribesmen, has expanded into Baiyi Town, with a population of nearly 30,000.
"Quick!"
This team has a total of about 2,000 people, and the leader is Sima Zhao Ting, the garrison battalion responsible for defending Qilin City, and the 500 garrison battalion soldiers under his command, while the 1,500 soldiers in the rear are well-equipped, but they are obviously new recruits, with a loose formation and slow steps.
These 1,500 people were newly recruited by Zhao Ting with the armament and equipment that Wang Zhiyuan had embezzled from the Seiko Workshop and the secret support of the wealthy businessmen behind him.
"Drive!"
Zhao Ting, who was riding on a war horse, was extremely hot in his heart, and kept urging the war horse to Baiyi Town.
With 1,500 centaurs in hand, he was a little more confident, and this feeling of leading thousands of troops and horses and holding power made him feel addicted. Now Zhao Ting wants to enter Baiyi Town as soon as possible, where tens of thousands of young men of the Aoshan tribe will become a weapon in his hands to fight and rise.
"Stop! Sima Zhao, what do you mean by this? ”
Looking at Zhao Ting and the others who were coming with great momentum, He Cong, the commander of the garrison battalion responsible for guarding Baiyi Town, looked very nervous, and hurriedly ordered someone to put down the rejection horse in front of the door, looked at Zhao Ting and asked.
"Bold! As the Sima of the garrison battalion, how dare you stop me, this time I am the general of the General's Mansion, and I came to Baiyi Town to recruit soldiers to support the battle ahead, and you can afford to delay the big event! ”
Seeing that He Cong dared to lead troops to block in front of him, Zhao Ting's face was gloomy, and he scolded He Cong unceremoniously.
"Zhao Sima, although you are a Sima, but my Baiyi Town garrison camp is not under your command, if there is no general order, it may be difficult for my subordinates to obey!"
He Cong was not afraid at all when he heard this, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he had no intention of ordering people to let him go.
"You! Hurry up and do the right thing! Get out of the way of me, or you're welcome! ”
He Cong's face-to-face refutation made Zhao Ting furious, pointing at him and threatening angrily.
"Choking~"
"Everybody's on orders! Military Sima Zhao Ting privately recruited soldiers and horses, and openly led troops to attack Baiyi Town, already rebellious and preparing for war! ”
He Cong no longer answered, glanced at the army behind Zhao Ting, quickly retreated behind the rejection horse, pulled out his war knife and pointed to the front and ordered loudly.
"Bold, He Cong blatantly disobeyed the orders of the gods, and he should be beheaded according to the law! If you cooperate, you will be punished in the same way! ”
Zhao Ting's face was as gloomy as sauce, and he threatened the soldiers behind He Cong that if it was not necessary, Zhao Ting was unwilling to fight now, which would be detrimental to their plans.
"This 。。。。。。"
The soldiers behind He Cong looked at each other when they heard this, and they hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, one was their top boss, and the other was a military commander with a higher official rank, they didn't know who to listen to.
"What are you doing in a daze? I am your commander, and you must do what you are told! ”
Looking at the people under his command who had not moved, He Cong's face changed greatly, and he shouted angrily.
At this time, He Cong was already 90% sure in his heart that Zhao Ting on the opposite side must have a ghost on this trip, but these soldiers under his command actually did not act according to the order.
"Humph! Arrest He Cong and enter the city! Those who dare to block will be killed! ”
Seeing this, Zhao Ting's face softened slightly, and he glanced at He Cong with a slightly smug look and ordered.
"Yes!"
The soldiers behind him had to rush in, and the soldiers of the garrison battalion guarding did not dare to make the slightest movement, so they could only watch their superiors being taken away.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
Soon after the army entered the city, the bell sounded on the tower of Baiyi Town to gather all the tribes.
On the square in the center of Baiyi Town, Zhao Ting stood on a temporary point platform under the escort of a group of garrison soldiers, and the people of Baiyi Town who heard the bell came one after another, most of them were Aoshan tribesmen, and only a small number were Japanese and barbarians scattered in the mountains.
"What's going on? What are these officers doing in my Baiyi Town? ”
"Yes, is the Yangwu Army going to do something to us?"
"These damn Han people are really unreliable!"
"No, the barbarian king can't do this to us, and isn't the barbarian king leading the warriors of our tribe to fight outside?"
"That's it!"
Many people who came to the square talked one after another, their faces were full of worry, since the establishment of Baiyi Town, it was the first time that the emergency convening bell had officially sounded.
"Quiet!"
After the wide square was crowded with people, looking at the people who were in a commotion below, the adjutant beside Zhao Ting strode forward and shouted.
The people of Baiyi Town below calmed down when they heard this, after such a long period of life, these barbarians had slowly accepted the rule of Sima Yu and Yang Wujun over them in their hearts.
After the audience fell silent, the adjutant nodded respectfully at Zhao Ting and stepped back.
"According to the order of the general's office, 10,000 young people in Baiyi Town will be recruited to support the front line, and all those who have men in the family will be listed, and those who are selected will set off with the army on the same day!"
Zhao stood up, strode forward to the front of the stage, looked at the dense crowd of people below, and said in a deep voice.
The tribes of Baiyi Town have always been an important source of soldiers in the Yangwu Army, and there are many Aoshan tribesmen from Baiyi Town in the Shaking Mountain Battalion and the Guards Battalion. For such a team of people who can quickly form combat effectiveness, Zhao Ting naturally wants to firmly grasp it in his hands.
"What? 10,000 conscripts? How is this possible! ”
"That's right, we don't have many young people now, and if we recruit another 10,000 people, how will we live the rest!"
"No, I can't enlist!"
。。。。。。
As soon as Zhao Ting's words fell, the people of Baiyi Town below exploded the camp, especially the large number of Aoshan tribesmen.
You must know that in order to support the barbarian king, most of the warriors in their tribe have already joined the army, and most of the remaining young people are unable to get out, and now even if they have to be recruited away, there will be almost no young people left in the entire Aoshan tribe, which makes them how to live and how the tribe can reproduce and develop.
"What? The general's order, you also have objections! ”
In this regard, Zhao Ting had expected this, and continued expressionlessly.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Crunch~"
As his words landed, a large group of archers quickly poured out on both sides of the square, pointing at the people in the square with bows and arrows in hand.
"This general! Even if there is an order from the General's Palace, you can't mess around like this, when we joined, the Barbarian King promised us to treat us well, not enslave us."
Faced with the threat of hundreds of archers, an old man from the Aoshan tribe stood up and said angrily, Zhao Ting's words made them feel a sense of being deceived, which they could not accept.
"Really? Hey! ”
"Whew!"
"Ahh
Zhao Ting sneered when he heard this, and with a slight wave of his right hand, an arrow shot directly at the unsuspecting old man of the Aoshan tribe, and an arrow hit the center of his eyebrows, killing him on the spot.
"Ah~"
The tragic death of the old man of the Aoshan tribe on the spot made many people in Baiyi Town below startled, and they retreated again and again, looking at the heavily armed soldiers around them, and did not dare to squeak again.
"Okay, since no one has any objections, then all the young and strong people in the family will go out and immediately go out with our army!"
Tens of thousands of young people in Baiyi Town had to obey Zhao Ting's army under the forced force, and the mighty team followed Zhao Ting's army out of the city.
