The empire is recuperating, but the workers in departments such as the arsenal and the gunpowder factory are busy like dogs, working three shifts 24 hours a day, desperately producing weapons such as rear-loading rifles, fixed-loading paper cartridge shells, and thunderbolts, many factors affect productivity, coupled with the expansion of several new armies, they can only rely on the workers to work overtime to increase production, of course, the workers in the arsenal have no complaints, on the contrary, they are happy, overtime means increased income, and the future will be better.

After a series of strict inspections and confiscations, the guns and ammunition produced will be loaded and transported to Liaodong, and priority will be given to the expansion of several new armies, and the front-loading muskets that have been replaced are all sophisticated, and they are equipped with the Zujia army that has been reorganized, so that Zu Chengxun and Zu Dashou father and son are so happy that their mouths are crooked, and they have also caused serious dissatisfaction among other generals of the old army in the nine sides.

The muskets produced are given priority to equip the new army, and they can bear even if they complain, after all, the new army is the descendant of the Son of Heaven, and they will do the same, but the sophisticated muskets that are replaced are all equipped with the ancestral army, and they are also border troops, so why favor one over the other?

The generals of the old army have long been seriously dissatisfied with the new army, and the resentment in their hearts has accumulated day by day, and finally accumulated to a critical point, erupting like a volcano.

The generals ate the closed door, and their hearts became more and more unhappy, and everyone gathered together to drink and complain, not only scolded all the new troops, but even the Son of Heaven who was far away in Beijing was scolded for having no skin.

It is said that wine strengthens bears' gall, and a few glasses of white wine are in the stomach, and the more these unruly generals think about it, the more they feel unpleasant, they decide to make trouble, coerce the Son of Heaven to compromise, they discussed it all day, and then summoned all the middle and low-level officers of each army and gave them orders.

They dare to make trouble, they have something to rely on, the people present, which one is not a real sword and a real gun and the Jin army to tear and kill, take their lives to earn military merits, each of them has a bunch of military merits, moreover, they are all elite veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, several armies combined, the number of people is also hundreds of thousands, even if Inspector Hong comes in person, he does not dare to do anything with them.

Secondly, it is now the beginning of the spring season, quite a little more than a month, the tribal alliance outside the border will definitely commit the border, this is already a practice that everyone knows, at this time the nine sides of the civil strife, the defense line is unstable, but it is a very fatal matter, not to mention the Hongdu Division, even the Son of Heaven does not dare to do anything with them, can only choose to compromise, this is the confidence that they dare to make trouble.

The officers at all levels of the old army had a share in the blood of the soldiers, and they were vested interests, and in order to get more benefits, they were naturally willing to make trouble.

At the instigation and order of the officers, the soldiers of the various armies and battalions poured out of the barracks with weapons and rushed towards the governor's palace, smashing and looting all the way, and all kinds of sheep were brought by the hand, so that the people hurriedly hid in their homes and closed the doors of their houses to prevent them from being harmed by these Qiuba.

Zu Chengxun is watching the soldiers' drills in the barracks, and now the Zujia Army is also a comprehensive change, the simple and convenient new military uniform has replaced the previous standard mandarin duck battle jacket, even the leather armor of the grassroots officers, the Mingguang armor of the middle-level officers is not worn, all of them are changed into more handsome officer uniforms, with a sword hanging from the waist, and a leather holster, inserted with a short gun, how to look handsome.

Under the command of the officer, the soldiers wearing tactical vests and carrying military backpacks held the well-made and reckless soldiers, and fired at the wooden targets not far away.

Although it is a front-loading musket eliminated by the new army, all of them are sophisticated, some are still brand new, and they have not been shot, so they don't have to worry about exploding, Zu Chengxun is so happy that his mouth can't close, fortunately, his son is clever and took the last train of military reform, so that those fools can go.

Of course, Zu Chengxun knew that the other generals were so red at him, but it was useless to be red-eyed, who made you stupid, one by one, this is the consequence of greed, hehe.

Just as he was happy, a henchman hurriedly came to report that several battalions of soldiers had united to make trouble, and were rushing towards the temporary line of Inspector Hong.

"Hmm......" Zu Chengxun frowned, what do those guys want to do?

The border army of several generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty has not made trouble, most of them are troublesome, and there are even rebellions, but they were quickly destroyed, and the troublemakers are fine, and in the end it is the court that compromises, and only cut a few who took the lead in making trouble, but they are all for the dead ghosts. But now that it is spring, the coalition army of the Guanwai clan is about to invade the border, and the Hong Inspector Division, who can suppress these arrogant soldiers, has fallen ill again, if it is not solved as soon as possible, it will be really fatal if it continues like this.

When I didn't know what to do when I had a headache, another soldier came to report, and Inspector Hong came.

Zu Chengxun was stunned, didn't Inspector Hong fall ill?

I don't understand it, he doesn't dare to be a little lazy, he personally went out of the camp to greet him, and when he saw Hong Chengchou who was in good spirits, he was stunned, this spirit is good, how can it be like being sick, dare to pretend to be sick.

Zu Chengxun saw that Hong Chengchou was followed by a large group of people, all of whom were high-ranking civil and military officials in the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, guarded by guards with loaded guns and ammunition, which made him stunned again, what is the situation?

Hong Chengchou quickly gave an answer, some of the commander-in-chief soldiers intended to rebel and attack his provisional governor, and he had to flee with a group of civil and military officials to seek protection.

Rebel?

Zu Chengxun was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and his first reaction was to hiss and inhale a big breath of cold air, and his old face suddenly changed color, Lao Tzu's ears didn't hear it right, right? Inspector Hong is talking about rebellion, not trouble?

Disturbance and rebellion are completely different in nature, rebellion is to exterminate the nine clans, Inspector Hong won't be joking with him, right?

"Master Hong, what are you talking about...... It's true? Zu Chengxun stammered, he is not a fool, it can be seen from the serious expression on Hong Chengchou's face, it is really not a joke, but those are all comrades in the army, Inspector Hong, your subordinates, and they are the elite of the nine sides, more than 100,000 people.

Hong Chengchou stroked his long beard under his chin and nodded, his eyes kept observing the changes in the expression on Zu Chengxun's face.

"The subordinates understand, the superintendent only needs to give orders, and the general will definitely obey the orders."

Zu Chengxun gritted his teeth, and made a decision in an instant, and the friends of the dead road can't die in the poor way, Ronghua [In front of the rich and noble, the righteousness of any buddy is a floating cloud, now is the time to show loyalty, brothers and brothers, I'm sorry, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, if you want to blame it, you can only blame you for being too greedy and ignorant of current affairs.

He is an old fritter in the officialdom, and he knows that the military reform and reorganization will be sooner or later, this is the trend of the times, and there are too many shortcomings of the old army, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and the Son of Heaven is decisive and ruthless.

Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow, please take a day off, please forgive me.
