Chapter 275: Changes in Johor (8) - Refugees' Grievances
Thinking like this, the pleasant look on Nanfeng's face also faded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The refugees who were onlookers applauded one after another after seeing the usually arrogant, arrogant, and high-spirited staff being beaten. Some of them still learned the habits of the Ming Dynasty and applauded excitedly.
When someone was thrown into the middle of the crowd, the onlookers immediately put their hands and feet together and beat them up. The look of gritting his teeth was obviously extremely hateful in his heart. It's not important to start. When the refugees are finished, they will be crippled if they are not dead.
Nan Feng watched, but didn't call the refugees to stop. Because if these people hadn't done something very hurtful and indignant, the refugees would not have exploded into such a big resentment. So he turned around and looked at Wang Fubai who was lying on the ground, and his face became very cold.
After all, these people are working for Daming and represent the overall image of Daming. But now it has caused public resentment, which really damages the face of the Ming Dynasty.
Catching up with Nanfeng's gaze, Wang Fubai was also scared.
Because he really didn't expect that Nan Feng and the others would be so capable of fighting. Twenty-three young and strong young men lay down in minutes.
You know, this is his best hope for the savior! Now it's like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and it's not used to the extreme.
The more I thought about it, the darker my expression became. The body couldn't help but tremble. The fat on his body swayed and squeezed out a lot of stagnant water that was pressed under him.
It was at this moment that the sound of thumping gunshots suddenly rang out on the field. Nanfeng looked up and saw that the refugees were panicked to get out of the way, and a large number of Ming soldiers with muskets on their backs immediately rushed in in a hurry.
Without further ado, he surrounded Nanfeng and them in a circle. Many refugees immediately fled in all directions, fearing that they would be harmed by an unwarranted disaster. So much so that in a blink of an eye, the field was deserted.
When a few staff members who had been beaten out of shape, with a lot of air and little air, emerged from the group of refugees, an officer with a straight back and a portable musket with a serious expression walked in.
This is the chief in charge of the security of the refugee camp, and judging by the mark on his shoulder, the rank should be second lieutenant. In the Ming Dynasty, only officers above the rank of second lieutenant distributed the newly developed portable muskets.
In fact, this is the revolver of the nineteenth century. It differs from the 16th-century arquebus revolver and the later revolver. Rather, it was a new revolver with a bottom-fire impact bolt and a spiral rifled barrel, with seven built-in nests and a conical bullet shell.
As long as the trigger is pulled, the two-step action of the runner to be fired can be completed in linkage. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, compact structure, perfect function, etc., especially anti-'blind fire', and has high practical value.
According to the original history, the world's first highly practical revolver should have been developed by the American Semeir. Colt invented in 1835. For this reason, Colt is known as the 'father of the revolver'. But there is an anomaly that changed the trajectory of history in the Ming Dynasty, and the revolver was introduced in advance.
By the time Colt was born in Condigne in 1814, the revolver was probably widespread all over the world.
However, it took a lot of time and effort for Daming to turn the revolver from a drawing into a reality. However, because the revolver is biased towards civilian use, it is not suitable for frontal attacks on the battlefield. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not mass-produce or popularize the army on a large scale.
It is only for a small number of military officers, senior administrative officers and senior security personnel, both for self-defense and as a symbol of status.
In normal times, the second lieutenant is only responsible for the area around the barbed wire fence in order to prevent refugees from escaping. The affairs in the camp are basically in charge of the staff such as Wang Fubai.
If it weren't for the fact that there was too much movement here and a large number of refugees gathered, he would not have taken his soldiers deep into the camp.
The guards who were responsible for the safety of Nanfeng at this moment did not panic at all when they saw that they were surrounded by a large number of soldiers with muskets. Ignoring the soldier's warning, he bent down and wiped the blood on his hands from the wounded on the ground.
Without the order of the second lieutenant, the soldiers did not dare to shoot. He stared at the guards with a wary expression, and pulled the trigger as soon as he gave an order.
The guards seemed unaware of this. After wiping it off casually, he calmly pulled out the revolver on his waist.
As long as it is an army person, it is generally clear what a revolver means. Therefore, the faces of the soldiers who raised their guns showed hesitation and shock. So they looked at the second lieutenant and asked him to have an idea.
Because the field was very quiet, the cries and wails of the wounded were amplified several times. The second lieutenant fired another shot into the air, and the wounded who were lying on the ground were so frightened that they closed their mouths and did not dare to say a word.
The guards weren't scared at all. swaggered to Nanfeng's side, raised his pistol, and protected Nanfeng in the middle.
Wang Fubai, who was lying on the ground and struggling, did not know the meaning of the revolver at all. After all, his father is a township chief, and he is not qualified to have a gun. So he shouted at the second lieutenant: "Second Lieutenant Liu, hurry! Fast! Catch these people! Not only did they disobey me, they beat me. It's an unforgivable sin! βγ
He also thought that he had grasped another life-saving straw, so after speaking, he made a smug expression to Nanfeng. It's just a big swollen face, and it's extremely funny.
The lieutenant heard this, but said nothing. Straightened his waist and walked towards the south peak with a serious face.
Unexpectedly, some refugees who were hiding suddenly rushed out at this time. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of the second lieutenant. The other refugees also knelt down. So Hulala, a large number of people fell on the field.
This situation also surprised Nanfeng. Because he couldn't figure out why these refugees were doing this to help him.
Then I saw an old man with gray hair and an old man pleading earnestly: "General! Have mercy on us! It's really too much of a deception for these stewards, otherwise we wouldn't have rebelled angrily. βγ
The old man's words are good, and with his emotional countenance, it is easy to arouse the compassion of others. The other refugees also spoke out. There are those who intercede for Nanfeng, and there are those who accuse the steward of being tyrannical.
For a time, everyone was full of gold and indignation.
It turned out that the refugees regarded Nanfeng as their own. The fat beating just now was very happy. thought that Nanfeng was standing up for their own people, so they had a sympathy for the same disease, and the heart of the rabbit and the fox was sad, and took the initiative to stand up and plead.
The soldiers with a guarded face didn't know what to do when they saw the refugees so excited. And that Wang Fubai is not dead, he still wants to argue. But his voice alone was too small, even if it was too loud, to cover the hearts of the refugees. (To be continued.) )
