Chapter 309: Quelling the Rebellion

The soldiers of the old army who made trouble smashed all the way, and poured to the governor of Hong Chengchou from all directions, and the scene was chaotic.

The door of the mansion opened, and a civilian official came out and told everyone that Inspector Hong had just happened to have something to do and went to the barracks of the ancestral army.

"Brothers, let's go, go find Inspector Hong."

A captain shouted loudly, and took his brothers to the barracks of the ancestral army first, some people took the lead, some people followed, and the soldiers scolded all the way, pouring like a tide to the camp of the ancestral army.

This kind of thing, a few generals who take the lead in making trouble will definitely not participate, but they will send henchmen to mix in the team to command, they hide in the dark and remotely control, after the court compromises, they will cut a few for the dead ghosts to take the blame for them, which is equivalent to giving the court a step down, and everyone is happy.

However, they still couldn't guess the changes in some details, and the henchmen who were mixed in the troublemaking team did not react as quickly as them, or they did not have the final decision-making power, they just wanted to block the governor's line, but they didn't want to go to the military camp where the ancestors were trained, but they were not allowed to think too much, and they didn't have time to go back to ask for instructions, so they had to follow the chaotic soldiers.

"Stop, do you want to rebel against the barracks without permission, and break into the barracks with weapons?"

The troublesome team came to a stop in front of the camp, and a large group of soldiers of the ancestral army lined up in front of the camp, all holding muskets, and the muzzles of black holes were pointed at them, and a political work officer stood in front of the formation, shouting loudly.

"What are you trying to do? Rebellion? ”

Zu Chengxun, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, and other confidants appeared surrounded by a group of confidants and cronies, and looked coldly at the troublesome soldiers in front of him, the look in his eyes was quite complicated, he had made up his mind to hold the thick dragon legs of the Son of Heaven, but at the critical time, it was still a mixed bag, after all, they were all friendly troops who had fought against the Jin army together, and many of them were still clan brothers or brothers or something from the same village, and they couldn't be poisoned.

"Give you more than ten hours, disperse immediately, and return to the camp to standby, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, and you will be killed!" The political officer standing in front of the formation did not wait for the troublesome soldier to speak, but shouted loudly, not giving the other party time to react at all.

"Who the hell are you, when Lao Tzu went into battle with a knife to kill the enemy, your kid was still wearing open crotch pants to breastfeed."

There are people in the group of troublesome soldiers who speak in a weird way, causing everyone to laugh and rebel, causing your sister to rebel, Lao Tzu is just being treated unfairly and complaining, you kid who has not dried his milk and don't button his hat indiscriminately, otherwise he will beat you to death.

It's no wonder that these troublesome soldiers of the old army didn't take these political work officers seriously, these political work officers are too young, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are still little children, the army talks about strength and qualifications, and the little children play with the mud.

No one took the words of the political work officer seriously, they all scolded and scolded the women of his family, disturbance and rebellion are two completely different natures, they are just making trouble, you dare to shoot? Besides, even if there is a rebellion? There are tens of thousands of people on our side, and when the gun goes off, the consequences are serious, and even Inspector Hong can't afford it.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The political officer standing in front of the formation seemed to be red-faced by the troublesome soldiers, and suddenly coughed violently.

A strange scene occurred, and many troublesome soldiers suddenly flashed to both sides, and there were still more than a thousand officers and soldiers standing in the middle.

This...... What's going on?

The more than 1,000 officers and soldiers standing in the middle were instantly confused, their minds were blank, and these people were the main force that really made trouble, and they were diehards who hated the new army.

"The Son of Heaven has an order, rebels, shoot and shoot!"

The sound of coughing was a signal to move, Zu Chengxun didn't dare to hesitate any longer, closed his eyes, and gave the order to shoot.

"Listen to me, first platoon, shoot!" The officer commanding in front of the battle shouted loudly, and the command knife in his hand slashed hard.

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time lit the fuse with the fire rope, and the flat-ended muskets were aimed at the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who were still standing in a daze.

Bang bang bang......

Platoon guns rang out, smoke billowed out, accompanied by terrible howls, dozens of officers and soldiers fell down screaming.

"Second row, shoot!"

The soldiers of the Zujia Army had just received the new training not long ago, and they seemed a little hurried because they were too nervous, but those troublesome officers and soldiers didn't expect Zu Chengxun to really dare to poison them, and they were all stupid, until the second round of guns rang out, and dozens of companions fell down with screams, and then they came back to their souls, and they all shivered and screamed and ran away.

But it was too late, and they were surrounded by soldiers on all sides, and the soldiers who had followed them to make trouble before all turned their faces and did not recognize anyone, overturned them, pushed them to the ground, and tied them up.

"The ancestor general soldier quelled the rebellion, and the first merit should be credited, and the governor will play the Son of Heaven." Hong Chengchou didn't know when he stood by Zu Chengxun's side, congratulated him, and reminded him at the same time, do everything you can to eliminate evil, don't let the first culprit escape, otherwise, your first merit will be greatly reduced.

"The last general understands that this will lead the army to capture the leader of the rebels."

Zu Chengxun bowed and clenched his fists, and led his soldiers to the major battalions to arrest the so-called rebel leaders, at this point, he has no choice, even if the Son of Heaven is soft-hearted and wants to let go of those trouble-making old army generals, he will not let go, this feud has been settled, and there is no solution, he can only do it to the death, cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the future troubles are endless, so, this pot, he can't carry it if he doesn't want to.

In an hour or so, Zu Chengxun led the army under his command to quell the rebellion, all the rebel generals, middle-level officers, henchmen and cronies desperately resisted, and all died under the random guns.

The whole process of illness is actually a big pit, as soon as the troublesome generals gave the order, some soldiers slipped out of the barracks and told those political work officers, Hong Chengchou was naturally prepared, he ran to find Zu Chengxun is taking a certain risk, in case Zu Chengxun does not go to the road, the consequences will be serious, fortunately he did not see the wrong person, at a critical time, Zu Chengxun is still aware of current affairs.

Not only did Jinzhou mutiny, but Ningyuan also had a mutiny, these troublesome old army generals were connected in series, making trouble together, the scene was big, and the success rate of forcing the imperial court to compromise was higher, however, due to the distance between the two places, the Jinzhou mutiny was pacified, and Ningyuan made trouble.

Cao Wenzhao had already held the secret decree in his hand, and he had secretly made sufficient preparations, coupled with the fact that some soldiers of the old army secretly informed, the old army that made trouble was quickly pacified, Cao Wenzhao was also ruthless, but the generals of the old army who took the lead in making trouble and their henchmen and cronies and senior officers involved were all killed, and the content of the report to the court was similar to that of Hong Chengchou, all of whom stubbornly resisted arrest and were shot indiscriminately.

The mutiny in the two cities of Ningjin shocked Jiubian, although the generals did not know the details, but they could guess some of the east, all of them were frightened, and they thought about it for three days, and finally only brought their own guards to Jinzhou to report, which was a compromise to hand over the military power and was willing to accept the reorganization of the imperial court.

Hong Chengchou did not embarrass these people, all of them were sent to study in the temporarily established officer study center, and some of those who could accept and comprehend and improve had the opportunity to return to the army and take charge of the army again, but all those in charge were the new army, and no matter how much they bought them, they could not become their private army with self-respect as before, because there were many political and work officers in the army, and all kinds of brainwashing were carried out on ordinary soldiers, and it was difficult to ignore these ordinary soldiers again.

There were really a few hot-headed generals who refused to accept the reorganization, and in a fit of anger wanted to destroy the city or surrender to the Guanwai clans, but before they could start, they were swarmed by their soldiers, or chopped down with knives, or tied up, and handed over to the court for execution.

After a series of small twists and turns, the million-dollar border army was reorganized, many old, weak, sick and disabled people were eliminated, and some new recruits were recruited to conduct systematic military training, but the number of the million-dollar border army dropped sharply, and only more than 600,000 remained.

The Guanwai clan finally survived this cold winter, one by one they were so hungry that their eyes were green, seeing the turmoil on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty and the sharp decline in troops, Huang Taiji thought that it was a good time to break through the pass, and immediately gathered nearly 300,000 coalition troops to kill the nine border defense lines.
