On the morning of the 18th, the news from the direction of Xiangyin reached Changsha City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After learning that Yuan Zong's first army had broken through Xiangyin, that all the grain and grass hoarded by the Qing army had been destroyed, and that Duoduo had returned to Yuezhou with the main force, the officials in the city, the soldiers of various towns, and the gentry and the common people were even more rejoicing.

Perhaps because of the defense of Changsha, He Tengjiao has been in a good mood recently, and he is relatively responsible in doing things, while trying to raise the shortage of grain and grass, he is busy adjusting the camp for the military town. However, in these two matters, He Tengjiao still adhered to his consistent principle, insisting that the loyal battalions that originally belonged to the "thieves" were all stationed outside the city, and the distribution order of grain and grass was all behind. Later, due to the dissuasion of Du Yinxi and Zhu Dadian, there were changes, but not much.

At this time, Pang Yue could be regarded as having seen He Tengjiao's portal view and narrow-mindedness with his own eyes, but it was not easy to say, after all, it was not the time to fall out with him.

Soon, what Pang Yue was worried about happened. As time passed, some of the problems began to be fully exposed, gradually causing confusion and intensifying. And the root cause of all this mainly comes from the lack of effective military discipline.

Due to He Tengjiao's arrangement, Liu Chengyin and the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department, whose military discipline was far worse than that of the loyal battalion, were all stationed in the city. These two armies did not fight the Qing army very well, but they were familiar with disturbing the people. In particular, the officers and soldiers of the Propaganda Department of the Huang Dynasty almost never fought against the Qing army this time, and they also regarded themselves as heroes after the war, and roamed the city. At first, he only took some tentative actions, such as buying things and giving less money or completely on credit, and verbally molesting women, etc., but later saw that the Changsha prefect's yamen did not dare to manage it at all, and his courage became more and more emboldened, and finally it developed directly into open robbery, which caused a panic among the people in the city.

……

On the afternoon of the 17th. On a street in the east of the city

With a burst of exclamations, the people on the street fled in all directions, scrambling to run in the direction of their homes. Hearing the reminders of passers-by on the street, the guys in the shops on both sides of the street also took out their door panels and prepared to close.

Just as the people were panicking, an army suddenly appeared on the street. This army numbered in the hundreds, poorly armoured, many of them with a strong smell of alcohol, and some of them carried all kinds of baggage, which was full of bulging bags. At first glance, you can tell that it is not something that is serious. Obviously, this army was the source of panic among the people, and had just come from another street, bringing the panic here by the way.

Since the retreat of the Qing army, many shops have reopened. The streets are obviously much more prosperous than when the Qing army was besieging the city a few days ago, and there are many more pedestrians.

See this scenario. This officer and army were even more excited. Bursting into the shops with bursts of laughter, he packed the things he thought were valuable into his baggage. If you can't fit in one baggage, you can fight another one. Or simply stop those well-dressed pedestrians, search for their belongings directly, and even see that their clothes and hats are of good texture, and take them off on the spot.

For a time, there were many voices of begging and pleading among the people, but it further aroused the desire of this official army to snatch. Gradually. These officers and soldiers were no longer limited to looting their belongings, but also began to chase the young women in groups. From time to time, women were caught up and pushed to the side of the street, crying out helplessly.

"Bang!" The guy at a tailor's shop was about to close the door when it was kicked open. The man also fell. Immediately afterwards, a number of officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets or armor rushed into the store and removed all the fine cloth. The shopkeeper trembled and stepped forward to stop him, but he was kicked to the heart and fell to the ground unconscious.

A restaurant that had just resumed business was flooded by dozens of officers and soldiers, and all the silver in the counter was robbed, and the customers inside were all looted and beaten by the officials and soldiers without exception.

On the street, a well-dressed merchant and a servant beside him were chased and surrounded by the officials and soldiers, and after being forced to hand over all the silver taels on their bodies, they were still beaten frantically by the officials and soldiers, and all the silk shirts and jade pendants on their bodies were also ripped off and snatched away.

……

The scene in the streets is becoming more and more chaotic, with panicked crowds everywhere and helpless wails and cries everywhere. Hundreds of officers and soldiers were like a swarm of locusts, gradually sweeping the streets to the end of the streets, and everywhere they passed was a mess and miserable.

This official army is Huang Chaoxuan's subordinates, in the past stationed in Youxian County was because of the corruption of military discipline, disturbing the people and was deeply hated by the local people, now as a "winner" into Changsha City, witnessed the city of prosperity far beyond Youxian County, the greed and bestiality in the heart was undoubtedly stimulated, because of Huang Chaoxuan's acquiescence, have taken to the streets in groups, to carry out looting.

This kind of mass looting acts like a stimulant, increasing the suffering of the victims and making the looters more and more excited. With the passage of time, the officers and soldiers of the Propaganda Department of the Yellow Dynasty were almost blinded and red-faced, and the abundance of the harvest and the helpless begging of the people for mercy aroused in their hearts the sense of superiority and accomplishment as conquerors, and also consumed the last reason left in their minds little by little, and gradually developed from plunder to aimless destruction. More and more shops were smashed, and more and more people were beaten and humiliated for no reason. In addition to the shops, some houses began to be invaded, and the surrounding scene was like bandits entering the city.

On the side of the street, a stall selling sweet wine was overturned, and the jar and bowl were shattered. The male stall owner was not able to satisfy the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Department and was beaten on the ground, and the hostess was also pressed aside by several officers and soldiers because of her somewhat posture, and her clothes began to be torn apart, and there were bursts of miserable screams and begging for mercy, but this made the lewd laughter of those officers and soldiers even thicker. Seeing that his wife was humiliated, the stall owner's initial plea for mercy turned into a roar of rage, but he was soon struck on the head by a soldier with the hilt of a knife, and he was unconscious. The stall owner's son, a few years old, cried and threw himself at his mother, but was kicked away by a small leader who looked like a flag boss, and the child struggled a few times, and crawled over again crying.

"Little bunny, look for death!" The flag chief screamed, raised his right foot again, and kicked out.

"Ahh Huang Buqi's feet were still in the middle of the way, and before he touched the child, he felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart, and all his strength turned into nothingness in an instant, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

The soldiers of the Yellow Department near the wine stall were suddenly startled and hurriedly looked in the direction where the arrow was fired. I saw another army trotting towards this side. There were hundreds of people in this army, but they were all of fine iron armor, all of their faces were covered by cold and shining steel masks, and the blades in their hands emitted a cold light, which was daunting.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ......" The hundreds of troops trotted over with neat and powerful steps, and the armor leaves on their armor collided with each other with a rattling sound. After the trot came, it was divided into three parts, about 100 people blocked the entrance of the street, and another 100 or so went to block the end of the street. The remaining 300 or so people began to attack the officers and soldiers of the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department who were in turmoil.

Accompanied by neat and powerful steps, bursts of stern and undeniable reprimands sounded at the same time: "All the rebels, hold your head and kneel!" Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”

At this time, the Huang Dynasty Xuanbu Banner who was hit by the arrow just now finally came to his senses. Isn't this a soldier from Huguang Town? A few days ago, he entered the city with the army of Huguang Town, and of course he recognized the armor and the unique iron mask of the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town. But. He saw that the number of officers and soldiers in Huguang Town was even smaller than that of his own side. Not only was he not immediately frightened, but he shouted: "Brothers, these rabbit cubs from Huguang Town dare to come to our territory to make trouble, go up and abolish them!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the general banner, the soldiers of the Yellow Department near the stall let go of the stall owner and his wife, and drew out the blades they carried with them. At the same time as it. The rest of the rebel officers also shouted to their subordinates. Suddenly, a large number of rebels rushed out of the shops on the side of the street, and joined forces with the rebels on the street, brandishing weapons and shouting and rushing towards the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town who had just arrived.

The army that had just arrived was the officers and soldiers of the first team of the Huguang Zhen Trap Camp. There were two divisions of about 500 people, personally led by Feng Yulong, the commander of Team A, who came to stop the raiding of the rebels.

This time, the scope of the raids in the city is not limited to this one street, most of the neighborhoods in the east of the city have been affected, and if it is not stopped in time, the scope of the impact will continue to expand. After Pang Yue, who led his troops stationed in the south of the city, learned of this news, he immediately sent most of the soldiers in the battalion to the neighborhoods in the east of the city to stop the looting of the rebels, and told the officers who led the team that they must control the situation in the shortest possible time. He will bear all the consequences.

At this time, there were six or seven hundred officers and soldiers of the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department on this street, while the officers and soldiers of the Huguang Town Trap Camp had only about 300 people who confronted the Huang rebels, except for the 200 officers and soldiers who went to control the entrance and end of the street. Under such a numerical advantage, the Huang rebels, who had already snatched the red eye, naturally did not have the slightest fear, but rushed over brandishing their weapons and screaming, determined to teach these nosy officers and soldiers of Huguang Town a good lesson.

In the face of such an arrogant rebellion, a trace of coldness flashed in Feng Yulong's eyes, and he shouted: "Death to those who resist!" ”

The officers and soldiers of the three hundred trapping camps held knives in their hands and looked coldly at the chaotic soldiers who rushed over. For them, who have experienced many bloody battles, these chaotic soldiers with teeth and claws are not even as good as clowns jumping off beams.

A moment later, with the sonorous sound of swords and soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp and the Yellow rebels officially exchanged hands. For a while, the streets were full of blood and screams.

……

Only a quarter of an hour later, the battle was decided. Although the number of officers and soldiers trapped in the camp was small, they killed six or seven hundred rebellious soldiers of the Huang Dynasty's Propaganda Department and fled in all directions. The most arrogant and aggressive ruffians immediately became the ghosts of the swords trapped in the camp, and their corpses were killed on the spot.

Stimulated by blood, the Yellow rebels soon revealed their true colors. Although they are arrogant and arrogant, they are only fierce and inward-looking, oppressing the unarmed people, and it is a bit difficult for them to confront a truly well-trained army that has experienced the baptism of blood. When sixty or seventy people were killed on the spot by the trapped camp, the arrogance of these rebels was completely extinguished, and they had no will to resist any longer, and they threw down their weapons and looted things, and scurried around like headless flies, but few people could escape. The rebels who ran to the corners and ends of the street were intercepted by the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp who had been waiting here for a long time, and the rebels who ran into the shops or alleys on the street were all caught up by the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp and forced into a corner.

"Kneel on the ground and hold your head to avoid death!" The officers and soldiers of the trapped camp let out a loud roar.

"Spare your life!" "Spare your life!" …… After seeing the real chapter, the rebels were completely honest, put down their weapons in their hands, and knelt on the ground.

…….

The same scene played out in the rest of the eastern part of the city almost at the same time, and the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town, who rushed to maintain order, quickly subdued the looting rebels and brought the situation under control. A ruffian is still a ruffian, and after all, it cannot compete with a truly well-trained army. (To be continued.) )
