Chapter 169: Entering the City to Quell the Rebellion
As soon as the sky was bright, the rebels who attacked and commanded the same prefect attacked all night, and when the attack failed, they began to rush into the houses in Laizhou City to vent their hearts. After a night of war, their military discipline has long been gone, and it has become their instinct to rob things when they see them and go up to women when they see them, so the turmoil began.
At the beginning of the turmoil, there were originally a few low-level officers who had not yet lost their minds, but their voices were so weak in front of the hundreds of rebels who had been carried away by ** and greed, and in the end they could only helplessly go by those rebels.
The leader of this gang of rebels is named Zhou Hao, a man in his thirties, with a meaty face, although he has become a deputy Qianhu since he was a child, although he has become a deputy Qianhu, but he has always been brave and ruthless, but he is very dissatisfied with his current situation. In his opinion, he is really sorry for his own ability to eat chaff in a small place in Laizhou, and he Zhou Hao should be a hero who is "drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up and holding a murderous sword".
But although he is a rough man with a violent surname, he also knows that if there is no accident, his life will pass like this, and it just so happens that the army has been in arrears for three consecutive months, and the emotions of the soldiers have long been on the verge of exploding. So he thought he was smart, and as soon as he had an idea, he led a small group of henchmen to encourage the soldiers in Laizhou to start making trouble. His purpose is very simple, that is, to make things bigger, and then force the superiors to have to appease them, anyway, there have been more places to make trouble in recent years, and the bosses have always been mainly to pacify, and few troops have been mobilized to encircle and suppress the soldiers who make trouble. As long as the boss is soft, won't his chance come?
But the development of things was beyond his surprise, first of all, Laizhou commanded Tongzhi Weijiang to lead his family Ding to enter the barracks to forcibly suppress it, Zhou Hao naturally stopped doing it, brother's plan has not been realized, you are going to suppress it, so how can it work? So Zhou Hao led the rebels to beat Wei Jiang and his family out, and then Zhou Hao, who was carried away by anger and **, led the rebels to attack Wei Jiang's commander and the prefect's office, but after fighting all night, he found that these rebels who only held knives, guns and sticks had no way to break more than a hundred brothers against the high wall of the mansion, so he had to retreat stupidly.
After dawn, Zhou Hao could no longer control those tired and hungry rebels, they scattered in groups and began to loot around the city, and soon there were bursts of screams and exclamations in Laizhou City, and some houses began to catch fire, so far this turmoil has completely lost control, and in just half an hour, it has evolved into a riot that affects the whole city.
"My lord, the brothers are all going to have fun, should we go and have fun too." One of Zhou Hao's henchmen licked his tongue and asked Zhou Hao with red eyes.
Zhou Hao looked at the dozens of henchmen who had been following him, and saw that their eyes also revealed a strange light, such eyes Zhou Hao had seen a lot, it was a mixture of greed, thirst and ** eyes for wealth, women and killing.
Zhou Hao thought about it, he started the trouble only before yesterday, although two days have passed, but according to Zhou Hao's estimate, even if the reinforcements are mobilized from above to suppress, according to the speed of their two legs, it will take at least tomorrow to arrive, why don't you take the opportunity to enjoy it before that, and besides, isn't it this fun for these henchmen to follow their own salary? Even if the army sent by the top arrived and threw the swords and guns in his hand when he arrived, could it be that the top really wanted to kill himself, you must know that there are not many people who are willing to be soldiers these years, and where can the court find so many people to fill the vacancy in Laizhou City after killing these people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao only felt that the courage in his whole body was much stronger, he pulled out the long knife in his waist and shouted: "Brothers, go to have fun with Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu is also looking for a rich lady to open meat, no one should rob Lao Tzu!" ”
"Oh, Lord Zhou, mighty!"
When the henchmen heard their deputy Qianhu speak, they all rushed forward excitedly with Zhou Hao, but the place they went to was different from most of the rebels, but their target was the high-walled compound of those rich families with deep walls and high walls, and only there were the rich ladies they were looking for and the dazzling gold and silver treasures.
When there was a mutiny, the people in the city naturally did not know about it, and almost all the families closed their doors, and the family hid in their homes in order to escape the war. But this morning, their wishes were shattered, and even Zhou Hao, the initiator, joined the ranks of smashing and looting, and those people who thought that they would be fine if the door was closed finally suffered.
A grocery store was suddenly smashed open by a man with a large stone, and a group of wolf-like soldiers rushed into the grocery store, some of them rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find something, and some of them grabbed the owner of the grocery store and grabbed him by the neck and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of Yinliang. What's more, he stretched out his black hand to the grocery store owner, who was already in her thirties but still charming.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, you are doing well, you will give you whatever villain you want, but please let go of the villain's lady, I have silver here, I have ten taels of silver here, all for you, all for you, you let her go!"
In the face of the grocery store owner's plea, these rebels who had been carried away by ** and blood did not have the slightest mercy, they smirked and knocked the boss to the ground, and seven or eight people pounced on the proprietress who was struggling desperately with a smile. In the midst of the tearing of their clothes and the screams of women, the rebels pounced on them like wild beasts for half an hour, and after seven or eight satisfied rebels with swords and guns and looted things on their bodies walked towards the next target, and behind them was the corpse of a naked woman and a man with half of his head missing, their eyes staring blankly into the air and their mouths wide open, as if to complain of the injustice of God.
At this time, black smoke came out of the streets of Laizhou City one after another, and many people were forced to run out of their homes by the rebels, many of their mothers could not find their children, husbands could not find their wives, women cried and men screamed, and the whole Laizhou City was in chaos.
Two rebels stopped a mother and son one after the other, and one of the rebels snatched the baby in the young woman's arms and threw the baby to the side of the road.
"Child, my child!"
When the young woman saw this, an earth-shattering scream rang out, and she broke free from the encirclement of the two rebels with all her might, and ran in the direction of her child desperately, but who knew that it annoyed the two rebels, and one of the rebels pulled out his waist knife in anger and immediately cut the young woman to the ground.
"Damn, this stinky bitch, uncle, I can see you that you are your creation, and you don't even know how to lift, since you like your son so much, then I will send you to the west to accompany your son."
The rebel spat at the young woman's body, turned around scoldingly, and said to his companions: "Lao He, go!" Let's find a girl to vent the fire, grandma's, it's time for you to be refreshed after holding it back for so long, haha, it's better to be Lord Zhou, lead us out to make trouble. You can have whatever you want, and you can go to whatever girl you want, this is what you should live, hahaha"
"Bumper Bumper"
There was a sound of bird guns, and the rebels who were laughing in the sky and their companion Lao He had two more big holes in their bodies, and the two rebels were killed on the street without saying a word.
After the gunshots rang out, a group of Ming soldiers wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets like the rebels suddenly appeared around the street, but the Ming soldiers were much more neatly dressed than them, especially when they were wearing chain mail and holding long bird guns and spears in their hands. As soon as these Ming soldiers saw that the rebels didn't even say much, they directly pulled the trigger at them, and there were bursts of irregular but continuous bird guns in Laizhou City.
These new officers and men marched murderously towards the rebels on the street, and they slowly pressed towards the street in groups of six or sixty in groups of six or with long guns in their arms.
Seeing these well-equipped Ming troops, the rebels immediately realized that the bullet suppression army sent down from above had come down, and immediately all of them were in chaos, although they were so majestic when dealing with the unarmed people, but it was not enough in the face of these well-armed and murderous sergeants.
When some clever rebels saw that the counterinsurgency officers and soldiers had arrived, they immediately realized that their good days had passed, and they threw down their swords and guns and knelt down to beg for mercy, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are also officers and soldiers, and our own people will not fight our own people!" ”
"Brothers, don't get me wrong, we surrender!"
Some of the rebels tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but the consequence of escaping was that behind them there was a burst of bird guns like fried beans and a bowl-sized blood hole on their bodies.
Some of the self-proclaimed rebels rushed towards the newly arrived officers and soldiers, stimulated by the constant tragic deaths of their comrades, but they were still greeted by the constant sound of gunfire and sharp and cold spears.
After killing all the rebels who fled and resisted, a few voices sounded in the ranks of these officers and soldiers who had just arrived, "General Dingyuan has an order, but all the chaotic soldiers will be killed!" ”
"Annihilation of silver captives and kills!"
"Kill the looters while the fire is hot!"
"Those who don't listen to dissuasion will be killed!"
With one cheer after another, more and more officers and soldiers drove into the chaotic city of Laizhou City
