Compared with history, the scale of the Ningyuan Mutiny was much smaller, with a total of two battalion leaders participating, one was the Zhenwu Battalion and the other was the Guangwu Battalion, and most of them were low-level soldiers, and there were no official positions higher than Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun.

At nightfall, most of the soldiers who had made a lot of money returned to the camp, but there were still a few soldiers who had been scoundrels and still wandered around the city, plundering the people.

There were also some soldiers with a bit of brains, who were afraid of participating in the mutiny, and wanted to escape from the city to join Houjin, and attacked the north gate of Ningyuan City in groups.

However, firstly, there was no high-ranking officer to command, and secondly, there was no grudge between the attacking and defending sides, so they could not attack each other in a hurry.

At that time, there were no street lights, and it was really difficult to distinguish friend from foe at night, so at night, the soldiers defending the city and the soldiers besieging the city were holding each other, forming a dangerous confrontation and balance.

Everyone was watching and waiting, and the side that did not participate in the mutiny, and even participated in the guards, waited for the return of Lu Shanji, the governor of Jiliao, and the general soldier of Liaodong, Mangui, waiting for the imperial court to confirm this matter, and the party that participated in the chaos waited for the results of the deliberations of the leaders of the mutiny.

Ningyuan City on the night of July 25 was destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun instigated the soldiers to resist arrest in order to protect themselves, and they didn't expect that things would eventually become so big.

At this time, the third watch has passed, and the lights in the Zhenwu camp are still bright. Yang Wenkui, the general of the Zhenwu battalion, and Yang Shengyuan, the uncle and nephew of the Chinese army's guerrilla, have long disappeared, and the left battalion guerrilla Wu Guoqi and the right battalion guerrilla Zuo Liangyu are now the people in charge of the Zhenwu battalion.

However, these two people are also more slippery than the other, although in the mutiny, there were no less arsonists to loot gold and silver property, but at this time they were all hiding back, refusing to come forward to preside, if it wasn't for the enough chaotic soldiers sent by Zhang Zhengchao, it would really not be able to invite these two people to come.

At the same time, after the mutiny ended, among the military attaches who came to the Zhenwu camp to discuss how to end, there was also a general of the Guangwu battalion, named Peng Qigu, as well as the guerrilla Wang Jiayi of the Guangwu battalion, Li Guofu and others.

Among these military attachés, Peng Haigu's position is the highest, and he is naturally elected as the leader, Peng Haigu, of course, knows the risk, but he can't shirk it in every way, looking at this posture, if he doesn't obey, he may die on the spot, so he discussed for a long time, and finally finally accepted his fate and reluctantly became the leader.

The head of the family was agreed, and seeing that the situation had reached the second half of the night, Zhang Zhengchao, who had not slept for two nights, said: "Brother Peng, the matter has come to this, and there is nothing to be afraid of." Brothers, let's talk about what to do next. ”

Zhang Sishun also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Zheng is right, now the brothers are headed by Brother Peng, and I also ask Brother Peng to tell me what the brothers should do next." What I Zhang Sishun didn't say, I must be looking forward to Brother Peng! ”

After Zhang Sishun said this, Zhang Zhengchao immediately hugged his fists and said: "Brother Sishun's words are reasonable, I, Zhang Zhengchao, put my words here today, and today it was agreed to be headed by Brother Peng, if any Wang Balamb is one in front of him and one behind his back, Lao Tzu is not finished with him!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Zhengchao looked at Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu. In terms of position, these two people are higher than Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun, but in terms of kung fu and prestige, they are now inferior to the Zhang family.

Besides, the situation is stronger than people, firstly, the chaotic soldiers in the Zhenwu battalion are all headed by the Zhang family, and secondly, Wu and Zuo are quite attentive after all, and they know that they can't be the head at this time, as long as they are not the head, they must be safe to follow others.

Therefore, Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu did not hesitate much, and immediately clasped their fists and said: "Since the brothers have elected Brother Peng as the leader, we will naturally listen to Brother Peng!" ”

The military attachés of the Zhenwu Battalion all said so, and the rest of the Guangwu Battalion generals naturally had nothing to say.

Wang Jiayi, Li Guofu and other guerrillas, capital divisions, and generals of the Guangwu Battalion also expressed their positions one by one at the moment, headed by Peng Qigu, the general of the Guangwu Battalion.

Peng Qigu, who was forced to be put on the shelf, looked at this posture and knew that the matter had come to this point, and then he would talk about other variables. So he straightened his chest, sat up straight, and then said: "Since the brothers can trust me Peng and recommend me to be the leader, I Peng has nothing to say." Now everyone is in the same boat, sharing blessings and misfortunes, everyone gets benefits, and no one can escape if there are disasters. ”

After Peng Qigu finished saying this, he looked around, and then said: "In Peng's opinion, for today's plan, the only way to do it is to go on hard, and first restrain Ning Yuancheng, and insist that it is because the Governor's Mansion has not paid the salary for three months, and the soldiers have made noise to leave the camp, and my generation can't restrain it, so this chaos has happened." Only in this way can our generation be able to secure their heads. ”

After Peng Qigu said this, he looked at Zhang Zhengchao and said, "Brother Zhengchao, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhengchao's situation is naturally different from Peng Qigu, but he can't think of a better way, so he just said: "What Brother Peng said is reasonable, but if you do it like this, that bird general judge and bird push official can't stay anymore." ”

Zhang Sishun knew the worry in Zhang Zhengchao's heart, so he said: "Brother Zhengchao, the general judge and the magistrate, was tied up and beaten by the rebels, and now I am afraid that he has lost six souls and will not live long." At this point, my brother is relaxed. ”

At this time, Wu Guoqi said: "Brothers, the imperial court governor Lang Zhongbai Yangcui has obtained a large amount of silver, and I am afraid that this Bai Yangcui will not be able to keep it now." ”

This silver, a total of 20,000 taels, was looted by Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers, and now the two of them account for the absolute majority of the spoils.

Peng Qigu looked at Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu, and said: "That's the business done by your Zhenwu Battalion, how to end it, you can do it yourself, I Peng didn't see any silver from the court." Now we're going to talk about what to do after dawn. ”

Wu Guoqi and Zuo Liangyu saw Peng Haigu say this, glanced at each other, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Several people discussed until dawn, and finally settled on the following articles: First, in the name of asking for salary, the imperial court sent to Liaodong to detain the governor Lang Zhongbai Yangcui and the deputy envoy of the Liaodong military garrison Guo Guang, forcing the imperial court to come forward to appease and give an explanation.

Second, gather the rebels and return to the camp, restore the stable situation in Ningyuan City as soon as possible, and avoid this time the mutiny, which eventually developed into a rebellion, forcing the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion, and finally cut off the back road of his brothers.

Third, a group of scapegoats must be found in each battalion, and when the time comes, the court will ask for the guilt and hand it over to carry this black pot for everyone.

Fourth, it is to entrust people to contact the center as soon as possible, and ask the superintendent, the chief soldier, and the supervising army for their guilt, explaining that they have no intention of initiating a mutiny, and that the current situation is really being coerced by chaotic soldiers, and so on.

What these people thought of was nothing more than wanting to shirk the responsibility, hoping that the court would calm down and not be held accountable. This is also the common solution after the mutiny of the soldiers in the past.

Because there are too many people involved, the imperial court is often a very small number of them, and most of the unlucky ones are civilian officials who supervise the army or lead the soldiers, and most of the people who participated in the mutiny still continue to serve as soldiers and eat food, after all, the imperial court owes wages first, and these soldiers are also needed to continue to fight with their lives.

The usual practice adopted by the imperial court in the past has now become the last hope of Peng Qigu, Zhang Zhengchao and others, but they are very confident in it, because many of them have participated in the mutiny, but have never been severely punished.

Several people agreed on countermeasures, so they sent their henchmen to gather the rebels, and at noon the next day, peace was restored in the city of Ningyuan, only those streets that were still burning and smoking, indicating to the people of heaven and earth that there had been a terrible mutiny in this city.
