"What did you say?"

Ye Zhizhou was stunned and asked in disbelief.

"The army in the city has mutinied." The sergeant said again, but this time his eyes were on Lotte.

Looking at the soldier in front of him, Lotte immediately recognized it, and the soldier in front of him who came to report the news was the subordinate he had seen yesterday, and the Imperial City Division was responsible for investigating and monitoring the movements of the Xiang army.

Hearing the news of the mutiny, all the officials in the room were stunned.

At this moment, Lotte was also shocked in his heart, and he put all his attention on preventing the Huaikang Army Forbidden Army soldiers, thinking that the Huaikang Army Forbidden Army mutinied, and only needed to burn the river ferry and close the city gate to ensure that Caizhou City was safe, as for the Xiang Army, it was really still in mind.

The reason why the box army is called the box army is to take the meaning of stationing in the city. In the Song Dynasty, compared with the forbidden army, the Xiang army was only a miscellaneous role, except for the frequent wars in the west, the Xiang army had to go to war, and there was no need for the Xiang army to fight in other places, and most of them were only in the local miscellaneous errands. If the local government has any force, they will be called upon to do it.

The soldiers were engaged in a lot of labor, such as brewing wine, vinegar, oil depots, cooking, manufacturing ordnance, building cities, making weapons, building roads and bridges, transporting grain and reclamation, post guards, and escorting officials. Generally, there is no training, combat mission. That's why it's also called a soldier.

It's just that what Lotte doesn't know is that compared with the forbidden army, there is a big difference in treatment, and the difference in money is even greater, and the income is only about half of the forbidden army at most.

Therefore, the Xiang army is even more despised.

Under such a premise, the military rations supplied by the Caizhou granary to the soldiers of the Xiang Army were of inferior quality, and the soldiers of the Xiang Army were usually dissatisfied, and the current mood was far greater than that of the soldiers of the forbidden army.

"Where are the mutinous soldiers now?" Ye Zhizhou asked.

The Imperial City Division probed and replied: "After these soldiers and soldiers made trouble in the camp, they beat General Wu Delang Zheng, who controlled military affairs, the deputy envoy of Zuozangku, the East and West Workshop, and the grain and grass officer to death, and now they are rushing towards the state government, or they will come in a few quarters of an hour!" ”

"How many people were involved in the mutiny?" Lotte asked with a gloomy face.

"The subordinates estimated that there were nearly two thousand people!"

The errand officers of the state government and the Huaikang army, plus the errand soldiers and inspection guards transferred from Pingyu, were only 600 people in total, and there were 2,000 soldiers who mutinied in the Xiang army. Three to one, an absolute disadvantage.

Although Ye Zhizhou panicked in his heart, he immediately stabilized his emotions and ordered: "Guard the gate of the state government and stop these mutinous soldiers from storming the state government!" ”

The wooden catcher answered, and went out to urge the messenger to guard the gate.

Lotte asked, "Did these mutinous sergeants have weapons?" ”

The Imperial City Division under his command replied: "These soldiers of the Xiang Army are all laborers, and they are usually not equipped with weapons at all. ”

Hearing this, Le Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief.

It didn't take long for Lotte and the others to hear the shouts coming from the city, and then those shouts got closer and closer to the state office, and finally became full of people.

Hearing these noises, everyone's faces turned ugly.

"Ye Zhizhou, why do you have to close the door, what is going on outside, why don't you tell us to know?"

Huang Tongju walked into the room and asked, followed by two Cao officials, Caizhou Tuiguan and Recordkeeper to join the army and manager to join the army.

Ye Zhizhou said coldly: "The soldiers of the Xiang Army mutinied! ”

Huang Tongju and a few people saw that the atmosphere of the state government was gloomy, and the guards suddenly became strict, and they had some doubts in their hearts. At present, I heard that there were soldiers mutinied, and my face immediately turned pale.

In the Song Dynasty, it was not uncommon for soldiers to mutiny, and everyone knew very well that these soldiers mutinied and made trouble, and they had always been very cruel when they started to attack.

"Open the door, open the door ......"

At the next moment, there was a sound of smashing in front of the Yazhou gate, and there was even more shouts of soldiers, obviously mutinous soldiers rushed outside the state yamen.

What to do?

The officials of the state government looked at each other, their eyes were full of fear, and even some of the timid people had their bodies trembling involuntarily.

"You officials and masters are all traitors of the country, you only know how to covet enjoyment and fill your pockets, and you don't care about me waiting for life or death!"

Immediately outside the door, the shouts and curses of the mutinous soldiers were heard.

"You wait for these dog officers to come out and see, what kind of military food is for me, it's all moldy and spoiled corn, and you don't want me to die?"

"Dog official come out quickly, if you don't come out again, I will smash your rotten yamen that covers the sky!"

……

The chaotic situation made the faces of the officials in Caizhou extremely ugly, and they looked at each other, and they couldn't do anything at all.

Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

All the officials in Caizhou were born as scholars, and now they are mutinies, which is really a response to this sentence.

Seeing that no one in the state government replied, the mutinous soldiers who knocked on the door became more and more noisy, and the gate of the state government began to shake under the knocking of these soldiers, and some soldiers found wooden poles and crowbars, and began to pry the door and wall of the state government along the crack of the door.

Listening to the movement outside the door, the fast officials in the state government also knew what was happening, and they knew what these mutinous soldiers would do after they attacked the state government, so they hurriedly stepped forward and resisted the gate of the state government.

At present, the soldiers are besieging the state government, and blindly dodging is not a way, Ye Zhizhou said: "I'll wait and reason with these soldiers to see if we can drink them back!" ”

While speaking, Ye Zhizhou went out of Lotte's temporary office, although the state officials were afraid, but seeing that Zhizhou did this, they had to bite the bullet and follow behind to the Yimen.

Hearing Ye Zhizhou speak like this, Lotte gave him a big roll of his eyes behind his back. This Ye Zhizhou really thought that after reading the sub-sage's theory of qi cultivation and sexual goodness, he would be able to cultivate some heroic righteousness, and he really thought that this heroic righteousness could withstand the enemy's fists and the soldiers on the battlefield.

In the noisy slamming of the door, I saw that the gate of the Caizhou Prefecture was shaking violently, and wisps of dust were sprinkled from the gate from time to time, and there was an overwhelmed moan.

Clearing his throat, Ye Zhizhou said aloud outside the gate of the state ya: "As a sergeant in the army, you are bathed by the emperor's grace but do not want to serve the country, but you don't know what the reason is for besieging the state government today?" ”

Hearing someone talking in the state office, the mutinous soldier knocked on the door quietly, and only someone could be heard outside asking, "Who is talking?" ”

"The monthly income of talking Caizhou Zhizhou Ye Lao!" Someone in the state government said.

"What the old man of Zhizhou said is easy!" After Ye Zhizhou's voice fell, someone outside the state government said: "As a sergeant of the Xiang Army, I have worked hard for many years, but recently, the generals in the army have deducted military salaries, and even the military rations supplied to us are all made of moldy and spoiled grains, do you still want me to live?" ”

"Yes, you dog officials still won't let us live?"

"The dog officials eat and drink spicy food, but let me wait to eat beef and horse food, is there justice in this world?"

……

After the voice of the leader fell, a noisy and angry shout of the crowd immediately sounded outside the state office.

After a long time in the officialdom, Ye Zhizhou naturally practiced the kung fu of nourishing qi, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, this official has taken down the officials who are greedy for military rations today, and will be dealt with by the imperial court in the future, and I will explain to you." ”

"Hugh wants to listen to this dog official's nonsense, who in the officialdom doesn't know the truth of the official's guard, I'm afraid that after I retreat, the official master will still be the official master, and I will wait for the cheap pawn or the cheap pawn, eating the moldy food that the pig and dog don't know."

"The dog officer is deceiving us with lies, and when we retreat, we will inevitably send soldiers to suppress us!"

These words were quite weighty, and the scene outside the state government became even more chaotic.

"Ah......h

In the next moment, there were several screams in front of the state yayimen, only to see countless stones flying down from outside the state yamen, falling between the state yamen gate and the yimen, and several unlucky errand officials unfortunately hung up the colors and fell to the ground crying out in pain.

The sky began to rain stones, and the officials of the state government retreated. Even Ye Zhizhou was almost attacked by the stones, and he was embarrassed to dodge.

Seeing this, Lotte shouted: "It's dangerous here, quickly escort the old man of Zhizhou into the Yi Gate." ”

Hearing the screams of the state ya, the chaotic soldiers outside the state yamen attacked the gate even faster.

Lotte saw that the gate of the Texas Yamen was crumbling, and it could be breached at any time. The messengers who had retreated behind the door were about to close the door as well.

"Don't close the door!" Lotte shouted, and then set his eyes on the Pingyu Liu Inspector, and ordered: "Inspector Liu, order your soldiers, those with spears to stand in front, and those with bows and arrows to stand behind, and when the mutinous soldiers attack outside the Yimen, if they dare to attack forward, they will be killed on the spot!" ”

Lotte's voice was so loud that everyone turned their eyes to it. But these people don't know what to say, and the people who can talk about it are all civilian officials, and they have some ability to play with the pen, bite the text and chew the words, and play tricks and deceit, but they really encountered the disaster of the yotsuka, and they immediately lost their minds.

"Yes!" Inspector Liu responded and began to order his soldiers to line up.

Although the normal duty of the inspection department is only to arrest thieves, it is also a regular army, and it is much more well-trained than the van army.

Lotte gave a second order: "The three yamen of the state government, Pingyu, and Huaikang army, cooperate with the soldiers of the inspection department, as long as someone dares to attack the instrument and kill them!" ”

Soon, a group of soldiers from the inspection department lined up with messengers, and the weapons in their hands were all pointed at the state government.

Under the attack of a group of mutinous soldiers, the gate of the Caizhou Prefecture was crumbling, and there was an overwhelmed moan.

Bang Dang......

After half a ring, in the eyes of everyone, I saw the gate of the state government fall to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust.

When the dust had not yet fallen, I saw a group of figures pouring into the gate of the state government and the gate of the instrument like a tide.

The patrol guards guarding the gate of the state yayi, along with the state and county messengers, opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The group of mutinous soldiers who poured into the gate of the instrument were also stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, and the atmosphere was instantly depressed.
