Over the next few days, the atmosphere at the camp became more and more tense.

The whole battalion had been grounded, and no one could come and go at will without Niu Zhongxiao's generals, and all the sentries were given orders from the Chinese army every two hours, and carefully preserved armor and bird guns were taken out of the storehouse and distributed to each soldier.

Putting on such an appearance as if they were facing a great enemy, almost everyone realized that the situation was not right, and rumors were rife in the barracks for a while, only the four sentinels did not react, and they trained hard and ate hard every day.

It's not that these recruits have a strong psychological quality, it's that they don't fit in with their allies, they are in a relatively closed environment, and they don't hear those gossips. What's more, these recruits were peasants who had just laid down their hoes and had no experience of military life, and the atmosphere in the camp was so tense that they thought everything was normal.

Wang Kefan seized the opportunity to seize the time to train the troops, and under his supervision, these recruits began to use spears for assassination training, and every day from morning to night, a sudden stab action had to be repeated hundreds of times.

In cold weapon warfare, pikemen are the most cost-effective type of troops, known for their economy and practicality.

Wang Kefan taught the recruits only two marksmanship, in addition to the stabbing action, there is also a defensive blocking action, both of which were born from the People's Liberation Army's stabbing jishu.

The stabbing action is the core essence of the PLA stabbing jishu, the amplitude of the action is very small, but it emphasizes the explosive power of a moment, as well as the speed when shooting, which is easy to learn and practical.

The fly in the ointment is that no matter the weight, length or shape, the nine-foot spear used by the Ming army is very different from that of modern rifles, so that the thrust action is somewhat deformed.

If it can't be solved, put it aside for the time being, for these recruits, these two slightly flawed marksmanship are enough, and they will be slowly improved later.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In a series of shouts of killing, the recruits were struggling to swing their spears and stab forward together. Because of the simplicity of the moves and the clear essentials, the soldiers started this set of assassination actions quickly, and they had already practiced it well in just a few days.

Wang Kefan stood in front of a recruit, straightening his spear with one hand and pushing his shoulder with the other, carefully explaining the essentials of the movement. The recruit was a little nervous in front of Wang Kefan, and he prepared for a long time before he stabbed out a shot, the force was fierce, and the tip of the gun faintly brought a sound of wind.

"The strength is enough, but the range of action is a bit large, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the situation to counterattack." Wang Kefan took the spear from his hand and made a demonstration with a snap, clean and neat, and the gun was like lightning.

"Keep your hands in a straight line, don't draw circles on your arms, and use the liliang on your waist and abdomen to ......" Seeing Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong walking together, Wang Kefan returned the spear to the recruit: "If you practice hard like this, life and death on the battlefield will be in an instant, and you can't ask for any superfluous fancy movements." ”

Patting the recruit on the shoulder, Wang Kefan turned to face Wang Sheng and the others.

Wang Sheng's faces were extremely solemn, Zhou Guodong's eyes were still slightly red, and he greeted Wang Kefan, and everyone avoided the side together, away from those recruits.

"PTZ, there's conclusive news!"

Wang Sheng said: "Jingshi was captured by Li Zicheng, and the first emperor Bixia has been martyred, all three months ago!" ”

Zhou Guodong's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and said: "The first emperor Bixia has been dead for many days, and he still doesn't even have a nickname, which is really embarrassing!" ”

"There is no one to succeed him, the new emperor has not yet been established, and of course there is no way to talk about the nickname." Wang Sheng said: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Fu has been declared a prisoner in Nanjing, and he should soon be able to inherit the unification, and then he will set the title of the emperor." ”

Chongzhen was called Emperor Si Zonglie, of course Wang Kefan knew the answer, but he was more concerned about the news of King Fu's imprisonment.

The Fuwang Zhu Youxiang was in charge of the country, and the political struggle over who would inherit the throne was divided into winners and losers, and the Donglin Party lost to the so-called eunuch party, and the Nanming regime was about to be established.

Whether it is He Tengjiao or Zuo Liangyu, they are inextricably linked with the Donglin Party. King Fu ascended the throne, and the eunuch Ma Shiying served as the first assistant, and Huguang Wenwu not only lost the merit of supporting the policy, but also was suppressed and excluded.

A civilian official like He Tengjiao is just fine, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under Zuo Liangyu are the strongest among the remaining Ming troops, how can they be willing to be controlled by others?

A big mess is just around the corner!

Wang Sheng frowned and said: "King Fu's edict messenger is on the way, and it will take a few days to arrive in Wuchang, and now the city is very chaotic, full of rebels and mobs robbing the people, and some have even used knives......"

At this moment, several clouds of smoke suddenly rose in the distance, and the thick smoke billowed out, which was particularly eye-catching in the twilight sky!

"There's a fire in the city!"

There were more and more fireworks, and there were faint sounds of crying and fighting, and the soldiers who were training all stopped, looking up at the smoke column in the distance, and they were all at a loss.

Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were still in a daze, but Wang Kefan reacted very quickly, and shouted in a deep voice: "The army's heart must not be disturbed, gather the whole team immediately!" ”

"Well, it's ......"

Wang Sheng glanced at him with admiration, and went to gather his subordinate soldiers, the recruits had developed the habit of obeying orders, and soon gathered together and lined up in four phalanxes.

Wang Kefan nodded to Wang Sheng and the others, stepped forward, and said to the soldiers solemnly: "Everyone, I would like to inform you of an important news, the former emperor Chongzhen Bixia has died......

……

A riot broke out in the city, and messengers calling for help rushed to the Yamen of the governor of Huguang.

In the inner hall of the Huguang Governor's Yamen, He Tengjiao sat in the center of the main seat, his face was pale, and there were more than a dozen civil and military officials in front of the hall, all of them also had sad faces, except for a few coughs that sounded from time to time, no one spoke.

What else is there to say, the news of King Fu's imprisonment has come, the Donglin Party was defeated in the court battle, everyone followed He Tengjiao to stand on the wrong team, and the future was bleak.

"Report!"

A warden from Wuchang Mansion was the first to arrive, hurriedly rushed in and knelt down to salute, and then said: "The pro-army under the command of Zuo Shuai has burned and looted in the city, and more than 100 people have been killed and injured. ”

"Get up and go back." He Tengjiao waved his hand majestically: "Go back and tell your family, don't provoke those rebels, and guard the Yamen Domain, even if he has a great achievement." ”

Zuo Liangyu's troops had a total of thirty-six battalions, most of which were stationed around Wuchang Mansion, and there was only one battalion of pro-army troops in the city, and the number was limited, so there should not be much trouble.

After the warden retired, He Tengjiao taught the left and right: "I deeply regret hurting the people, but everything must be prioritized." Those chaotic soldiers will not rob if they have robbed enough, and they will not kill when they are tired of killing, and if an evil spirit is vented in their hearts, they will naturally be fine. The so-called small intolerable will be chaotic and big, forcibly suppress in case of a mutiny, when the time comes, Huguang will be eroded for thousands of miles, and Zuo Shuai's 800,000 troops will not obey the order, even if you and I commit suicide and apologize, we will not have the face to see the first emperor underground......"

At this moment, several more messengers arrived, rushed in, and knelt down to report in a hurry.

"Open the military gate, the rebels seize the Wenchang Gate, and enter the Wuchang Mansion in a steady stream!"

"Zuo Shuai Jin Shenghuan's troops entered the city from Binyang Gate, burned all the way, and the people were killed and injured countless times!"

"There are fires in many places in the city, bluffs and bachelors take advantage of the fire to rob everywhere, and there are also people from the Sihe Sect who gather to make trouble!"

……

He Tengjiao was taken aback, and he couldn't care about the demeanor of the feudal officials anymore, so he stood up suddenly, and the left and right civil and military forces also showed frightened expressions.

Mutiny! It's really a mutiny! The city gate has been occupied by the rebels, if all the thirty-six battalions on the left enter the city to make trouble, Wuchang Mansion is worried about destroying the city!

"In vain, I exhausted Huguang's money and food, but I raised soldiers like a proud son, and today's disaster ......" He Tengjiao was like a mourner, his face was pale and gray, and he only felt annoyed in his heart.

When Chongzhen was in power, Zuo Liangyu could still obey the orders of the imperial court on the big side, and after Chongzhen's death, he supported the army and became more and more domineering, like a spoiled child, and the slightest dissatisfaction turned the world upside down.

Zuo Liangyu is really a vulgar martial artist, and he is not enough to scheming! Since King Fu has already supervised the country, he can only wait for the opportunity, at this time, he will make trouble, will he really dare to rebel?

Soldiers are like proud sons, and disasters happen.

Everyone was confused, only Du Yinxi remained sober, stepped forward and said: "Although the current situation is critical, as long as Zuo Shuai comes forward to suppress it, it may not be irreparable, please make a decision!" ”

"Not bad, not bad! I'm going to find him! He Tengjiao was woken up by a word, and there was brilliance in his eyes again.

"The military gate must not put itself in danger! This mutiny may have been instructed by Zuo Shuai...... "Left and right civil and military forces to dissuade together."

"If you steal life and fear death today, there is a way to defeat people, you don't need to persuade you anymore!" At the critical juncture, He Tengjiao showed his desperate ferocity, and resolutely said: "The safety of the society is in danger, in this move, if Zuo Shuai has rebelled, I will die for the country!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, so Du Yinxi stepped forward and saluted, and stopped He Tengjiao again: "How to deal with the riots in the city, please show the military gate!" ”

"Oh, this ......" He Tengjiao realized that he was too flustered, and he forgot to arrange it, and said after a little thought: "The city gate must be closed as soon as possible, and the important land of the domain treasury cannot be lost, as well as the governor's yamen, the three divisions yamen, and the Wuchang Mansion yamen...... We must strengthen our vigilance, and we have to transfer some troops to guard them separately......"

He only had more than 1,000 Fubiao soldiers under his command, and it was obviously not enough to deploy at this time, so he asked Niu Zhongxiao, one of the military attachés: "Now is the time to use the troops, is the Gongyi battalion available?" ”

"Gongyi Battalion is waiting for the rest of the day, and I am willing to serve the military gate!" Finally waited for the opportunity for He Tengjiao to serve, Niu Zhongxiao answered very simply.

"Good! and transferred the Gongyi battalion to guard the important places in the city. Tell the lieutenant colonel of the battalion that these critical points are of great importance, and it is a great achievement to defend them, and if something goes wrong, the lord will be beheaded! With a cut of words, He Tengjiao's expression became more and more hideous, and he continued coldly: "Don't be merciful to those lama bluffs and sectarians, as long as you dare to make trouble, you will kill and exterminate them, if you catch the first evildoer, Benfu will have another reward!" ”
