Chapter 173: Quelling the Chaos (I)

On June 28 of the third year of Chongzhen, this day is a memorable day for the soldiers and civilians of Peach Blossom Fort. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, out of the alleys and houses came the crowds of people, all of them ragged, but each of them had a weapon, either a stick or a worn-out saber.

They were all dressed as ordinary people, and after coming out of the alley, they went to the places where the fields were registered, and some people could see it.

These troublemakers are also the family members of Li Shi, Wang Ma, and Chu who are in charge of the team, and many of the rest are all land scoundrels who are rampant on weekdays, or ruffians who have been dismissed and are unwilling.

They passed through the streets in a mighty way, and together there were hundreds of them, but most of them were uncontrolled, and there were no officers among them, just a lot of noise.

This group of 'chaotic people' was full of murderous spirit, and the houses and stalls passing by were all overturned by them, and the people on the street were immediately in chaos when they saw it, and I don't know who shouted: "The old officers and soldiers and the local ruffians are disobedient and dismantled and make a mess!" ”

The old officers and soldiers are the name of the people for those officers and soldiers who have been dismissed, and Xiao Yi, a family person, gives food so as not to make a mess, most of these people are single, and after being dismissed, they are homeless, and they have no grain and rice to take and no land to share.

Seeing that everyone else was overjoyed, I couldn't help but feel resentful.

Such a thing happened in the fort, but on weekdays, none of the officers in charge of the team, Li Shi, Chu Gao, Wang Ma and others, were in charge, and there were few officers and soldiers on the street, and even Dong Yinghua, the magistrate in charge of military discipline and law in the fort, did not know where anyone was.

The streets were full of chickens and dogs, the streets were full of men and women's cries, and in the morning the people who went out to divide the fields and cultivate the fields were all scattered and fled.

These people are like bandits, and they quickly degenerate into savages without any control.

Looking at the frightened appearance of the people, the bestiality in their hearts was stimulated, and they felt that this was the life they wanted, and the long-term depression was vented.

The inner impulse could no longer be suppressed, and the situation gradually began to develop in a more chaotic direction.

He Dapeng just wanted to give Xiao Yi a dismount and limit things to a certain range, but they overestimated the self-control and restraint of these ruffians and old officers and soldiers, and it didn't take long for them to become beasts that pounced on people one by one.

It's like a thief entering a fort......

"Kick Lao Tzu away!"

Outside a courtyard, the already frantic rioters didn't care about the words written on the plaque, but just gathered a large group of people and kept attacking the big mahogany door.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the rebels are attacking the gate!"

The old housekeeper ran into the hall in a panic, Zheng Zhong was like a thunderbolt from the sky, listening to the clanging sound at the door, Zheng Zhong no longer had the calm he used to be.

He said urgently: "Quick, gather all the servants in the house, take everything that can be used, you go and lead people to block the gate, remember not to let the chaotic people in!" ”

The terrible thing about the chaotic people and soldiers Zheng Zhong has heard a lot even if he has never seen it, and they have done no worse than bandits in killing people and setting fires.

The most important thing is not to let the rebels rush into their own mansion, otherwise their little wives and children and servants in the mansion may not be able to escape!

The housekeeper and a few main servants hurriedly ran out of the hall to command everywhere, the rest of the servants and maids were busy before and after, and Zheng Zhong was going back and forth in the hall.

"Isn't there any news from the Guardian's side yet?"

A small official replied tremblingly: "My lord, the official hall of the thousand households is closed, and no one is seen!" ”

Zheng Zhong stomped his feet, what was this Xiao Yi thinking?

He sighed, now he can really only count on Xiao Yi, I don't know if Xiao Yi has the ability to quell the rebellion, in case of failure, Xiao Yi will go to the ministry to be small, and his family will suffer greatly.

He looked in the direction of the Qianhu Official Hall, and his eyebrows were sunken.

……

In the official hall of thousands of households, a loud shout came out.

"Presumptuous, a few rats, they dare to agitate the rebel army to gather to blackmail their own officials, they really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

A Yong'an military armor commander with a helmet and armor knelt on one knee and opened his mouth to shout: "Please show me!" ”

If you look closely, although several of the main captains of the first post in the lobby are there at this time, Shi Gang and the others led by him have not seen any of them, and even Liu Tong doesn't know where to go.

"Pass on this official order, all those who follow the rebellion, regardless of the people and thieves, will be killed!"

"Order, Huang Yang and Shi Lu quickly led the troops into the fort to quell the chaos!"

Suddenly there was a clanging sound of iron leaves intersecting below: "Humble and orderly!" ”

……

It's only been less than an hour, in this short period of time, the streets and alleys of Peach Blossom Fort have become hell, if the people who survived the battle of Qijiazhuang are here, they will be shocked to find that the scene at this time is so similar to that time!

As we moved towards several locations, the rebels broke away from the ranks and began to enter the streets and alleys in groups.

violently broke down the houses and mansions of rich businessmen to rob property, kill people and set fires, and even those who were lazy in broad daylight were wanton **** women, the screams of the people and the laughter of the rebellious soldiers were intertwined into a tragic symphony.

Everywhere began to light up the fire, and there were actually some chaotic soldiers looting and setting fire to the houses at the same time, the flames soared into the sky, and beams of black smoke rose into the sky, and this place has become hell.

The streets were littered with corpses, both men and women, including naked women, infant children, and rioters armed with weapons to smash open the shops on the street one by one, rushing in to kill and loot.

In a cloth workshop, three women in splendid silk robes were the concubines of the rich family at first sight.

At this time, there were more than a dozen corpses of servants and maidservants lying next to them, and seven or eight rebels were blocking this cloth workshop and laughing obscenely, and the three women were forced to retreat step by step.

They laughed a few times, and rushed forward, and each of them held the three women.

Tearing at the gorgeous silk robes on their bodies, the three women struggled desperately and shouted loudly, but who were these young and strong opponents, and where did anyone care about their shouts?

Pieces of clothing were torn off, revealing large patches of snow-white skin.

Several rebels laughed lewdly, and one of the rebels shouted loudly: "Hahaha, my old king has been an officer and soldier for most of his life, so he is happy today, or he is still a bandit!" ”

"Our brothers have made trouble, this time we will go to the king of Hengtian!" Several rebels responded one after another.

The woman saw that she was about to be insulted, there was no way to enter the heavens and the earth, her hands and feet were crushed to death by a few rebels, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and her voice was already full of hoarseness because she had been crying for a long time.

She cried out miserably, "God, open your eyes and see!" ”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a big hole appeared in the chest of the old king who was about to enter the woman's body, and blood splattered out of his chest, splashing the woman's body, and the old king fell in response, his eyes full of disbelief.

The woman hurriedly dodged Lao Wang's fallen corpse, as if she hadn't reacted yet, and touched the blood on her face with a blank face.

Then she screamed, hugged the other two women who had just struggled to get out, and cried.

The rest of the rebels turned around in horror, only to see a neat column of firecrackers standing at the end of the street not far away, marching forward in a neat manner, and the three-eyed guns of the black hole were aimed at them, and the person at the head was Liu Tong, the leader of the three-eyed firearms team.
