Chapter 512: The Short-lived Troubles (I)

Zhao Zhilong has also seen the world, a few years ago, when he suppressed the Liukou, when the 500 warships in the Yangtze River appeared, he had already sighed with emotion about the so-called "giant ships". When I thought that the cannon at the bow of the ship was already very powerful, now when I saw this kind of thousand-ton battleship, my shocked head was full of stars, and my eyes were also dark.

I like to watch the lively people, but at this time, there is not a single onlooker, as if the muzzles of those black holes will eat people. Zhao Zhilong stared blankly for a while, and when he wanted to move, he found that he had no strength at all. The generals around him, this will not be much better, they are all dumbfounded. At this time, if you look at the big general cannon on the city, it looks like a toy. This side is still planning to make trouble, make a move, the law does not blame the public, and then mobilize some officials to speak, which is naturally a result that cannot be resolved.

After seeing these warships, Zhao Zhilong obediently put away all his thoughts, just one thought, Chen Xie won't cut himself, right? Once this thought arises, it becomes more and more intense, and the temperature of the blood all over the body drops violently.

I used to think that Chen Xie would be able to fight again, and that would probably be the case. The person who led the troops has never been on the battlefield, and it is completely two concepts. Whether a soldier has seen blood or not is a matter of mud. Zhao Zhilong, who was a marquis, found himself so ridiculous for the first time. Just seeing this kind of battleship, it is already completely out of the body.

"Quick, quick, go to the Governor's Palace." Zhao Zhilong finally relieved himself and beckoned people to hurry up. But one of the staff members next to him went to say something that made him thunder: "Master Hou, let's send someone to greet those first." Stop that. If you don't notify again, it's too late. ”

Zhao Zhilong was suddenly startled, looked back at the city, and suddenly heard a faint cannon sound. Then there were two more sounds, and after three cannon shots, Zhao Zhilong spit out two words sluggishly like a clay carved wood sculpture: "It's late!" ”

Three cannon sounds, this is the agreed signal, the three Beijing battalions started together, and the soldiers went out of the camp to make trouble. It is a very common thing for the Ming army to make trouble. The final result of this kind of thing. It's often just a matter of finding a few scapegoats and then there's no more. Don't look at the simple word "salary", once this kind of thing happens, it means burning, killing, raping, and plundering.

What is Nanjing? Once this happens. Does Chen Xie's army reorganization plan still want to go smoothly? This is Zhao Zhilong's calculation. He thought that as long as things got bigger. Yanguan Wenchen will definitely make a fuss, and when the time comes, Chen Xie will have no time to take care of himself, how can he have the heart to organize the army. It should be said about this means. It is effective to deal with the general situation. He also thought very well, the soldiers had enough, come out to appease, and then it was time to show his prestige. As for Chen Xie's Dengzhou battalion entering the city, Zhao Zhilong really didn't pay attention to it, the Dengzhou battalion was a guest army, and the local garrison was making trouble, what did it matter to them? Maybe the Beijing camp will make a fuss, and the Dengzhou camp will follow suit. This kind of easy fortune is the favorite thing for the Ming army.

This kind of thinking was completely shattered when I saw the battleships on the Yangtze River! The reason is very simple, Chen Xie even drove this kind of boat, how could he let the Dengzhou camp sit back and watch the Beijing camp make trouble? Isn't the purpose of this kind of warship to deter? Didn't you just plan for the worst, once the Beijing camp made a big fuss, directly attack Nanjing? I couldn't understand it before, after the Dengzhou camp entered the city, it was just that you occupied various city gates and some key passes, and did not take care of the station of the Beijing camp. Now I understand, people have been waiting for themselves to jump in.

Leng Gang, the garrison of the Shenji Battalion, had been tied to the flagpole at this time, in fact, he had no intention of resisting at all, but was tied up by the soldiers very cooperatively. It was at the beginning that the makeup stopped for a while. Three cannon shots also came from here. More than 500 soldiers rushed out of the camp in a mess, and outside was the flower world of Nanjing City, rob it!

The cold steel on the flagpole kept a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, but soon he couldn't smile anymore. When the camp gate was opened, there was silence. On a street facing the barracks, there was no one left, and everyone was closed. It's not a big deal, as long as you pass through the open space of dozens of meters, rush into the reception and smash open people's houses, you can grab enough money. If you're lucky, you can also find a tender big girl or little daughter-in-law to cool off.

The problem was that the soldiers who rushed out of the barracks saw a phalanx. There were not many people, just over a hundred people, and there was a two-line queue. The dark green military uniforms show their identity, Dengzhou Battalion!

A young officer, with a sword in his hand, stood at the edge of the queue, behind him was a standard-bearer, holding a red flag. The entire phalanx was unexpectedly quiet, and there was no sound at all, as if the more than 500 rebels on the opposite side did not have the slightest intention of zài. The officer stepped forward and shouted: "Everyone listen, go back to the camp, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

After shouting this, the officer took a step back, the knife in his hand pointed diagonally to the ground, and commanded: "Ready!" Raise your gun! "With the password, there was a neat click, this was the trigger opened, and with a brush, it was neatly raised. are all soldiers, Nanjing's Shenji Battalion, not to mention being able to be so neat, many soldiers have not even let go of the guys in their hands once.

A small leader of the Shenji battalion shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, they don't dare to shoot." There was no money on it, and the brothers had been hungry for days. Rush over and look for something to eat. ”

How long has it been since the Ministry of Household has paid its military salaries? In fact, the situation in Nanjing's Beijing camp is not too bad, but it has not been sent for three months. In fact, even if the military salary is paid, it cannot be full hair, generally half of the salary, and 30% of the more ruthless. In this way, the establishment of 3,000 people, only the more than 500 in front of him, it can be seen that this empty salary has eaten.

Despite the fact that some people took the lead in shouting, the soldiers who were making a salary collectively hesitated. There are more than 100 people on the opposite side, and it seems that there are few people. In fact, I know it in my heart when I am a soldier. is also playing with firearms, whether the arquebus gun in his hand can be fired, this has to put a big question mark. And the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion on the opposite side, neatly dressed and in unison, looked very stuffy, in fact, such an army killed people ruthlessly. Some of the veterans had quietly retreated, and some were directly squatting at the back of the crowd.

After a brief hesitation, some of the soldiers did not resist the desire to rob it. The leader of the lead saw that everyone hesitated, and immediately took a step forward, and after taking this step, it was an instinctive reaction for the soldiers behind him to follow and move forward. But after taking this step, not a single qiē can be changed.

(Note: The garrison in Nanjing is mainly the officers and soldiers of the guards and the Shenji Battalion who are trained in rotation in the large and small school yards, and only the Shenji Battalion is a permanent army.) The Hechi camp guarded the Jiangbei mausoleum, and the Zhenwu camp was canceled during the Longqing period, and the large and small school fields were stationed. According to the statistical table records of the Wanli period, there were 7,149 garrisons in Nanjing. ）

The guards who were trained in rotation in the large and small schools were subordinate to Jianyang Wei and Zhenhaiwei respectively, and there were more than 1,000 people each. Hearing three cannon shots, they each came out of the school yard and made noise. Their encounters were the same as those of the Shenji Battalion, and they were all blocked at the door by the Dengzhou Battalion. At this time, if you know the inside story, you will definitely not act rashly. Entering the city of Nanjing were two Dengzhou Jiazi battalions, with a total of more than 5,000 officers and men. Among them, there were 2,000 elite riflemen, who were stationed in various key passes in Nanjing. Outside the Shenji Battalion station, the big school field, and the small school field, there are Dengzhou camps waiting for them to come out.

When the dense gunfire rang out, the whole city was stunned. Zhu Dadian, who was in the yamen, should have been killed. He had been on the battlefield, and of course he knew the meaning of the gunshot. According to his understanding of the Ming army, such a dense gunfire could not be small, and it would take thousands of people to make a move.

After thinking about it, Zhu Dadian's face turned white. Originally, his life was not easy, he said that he was the governor, and there was Chen Xie, the governor, on the top, and Zhao Zhilong, the noble, below. Nanjing, a broken place, has a particularly strange power structure. Especially in the military system, not only the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu can manage the army, but also the eunuchs who guard the town can also intervene. The governor seems to be very good, but in fact he has very little control over the garrison. Not to mention that there was a Dengzhou camp that made him even more crazy, which is what it means to not be mixed enough. Anything, once ordered out of multiple doors, it is the effect of constant ripping.

By the time Zhu Dadian reacted and asked people to prepare carriages and horses and rush to the governor's mansion, the gunfire had unexpectedly stopped. At this time, he didn't have the heart to see Chen Xie, what happened behind the short and dense gunshots? Zhu Dadian temporarily changed his decision and said to the coachman: "Go to the Shenji Camp." ”

As soon as the carriage had gone for a while, it was stopped at the corner of the street, and the family came forward to negotiate and came back to report: "My lord, the Nanjing garrison is making trouble, and the Dengzhou camp is under martial law. "Zhu Dadian can't continue to stay in the carriage, don't think about it if he doesn't show up. Immediately got out of the carriage, saw the card set up on the side of the road, stepped forward and said with a straight face: "Benxian is going to pacify the garrison, why don't you get out of the way quickly?" ”

The officer who led the team didn't have a good face, looked at him and said, "Is there a seal?" Zhu Dadian almost didn't come over in one breath, and said loudly in a huff: "What a gut!" As soon as the words fell, the family next to him drew his knife and scolded: "The thief is with the army, kneel down and speak!" ”

Da Ming Wen is noble and lowly, in general, in this case, as long as you look at the dress, this officer has to kneel down and salute.

The officer at the scene showed a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand lightly: "Although I am just a team officer, I don't have to kneel down to speak when I see the governor in the Dengzhou camp." What are you? Listen to me, anyone who trespasses without permission will be killed! As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him had already raised their guns. (To be continued......)
