Chapter 16: The First Military Mutiny
In the wee hours of the morning
Outside Fengsha City, more than 20 kilometers away from the northern part of the capital, in the camp of the Praetorian Guard
The sergeants of the 27th Battalion, under the leadership of dozens of colonels loyal to the battalion commander Xia Jun, secretly deployed various operations throughout the battalion.
A military mutiny is about to take place.
At the same time, dozens of soldiers dressed in Praetorian Guard uniforms were riding horses galloping on the avenue leading to the north gate of the capital...... On the bustling Fengsha Capital Avenue, although it was already early in the morning, it was still shining with some dazzling light and sparse figures.
Curfew?, the word disappeared from the Casa continent hundreds of years ago......
The sergeants ran wildly in the capital, and this phenomenon did not attract much attention from the people along the way
Dozens of cavalry sergeants who passed through the northern gate without hindrance galloped towards the camp of the Praetorian Guard with more and more fierce horses.
It didn't take long for dozens of horsemen to arrive at the camp of the Praetorian Guard, and watching dozens of horsemen gallop over, the gate of the Praetorian Guard military district slowly took the initiative to open......
If you look closely, you will find that these soldiers guarding the camp gate are actually wearing the emblem of the 27th Battalion...... The sergeants who were originally guarding the camp were also captured by the soldiers of the 27th battalion.
The dozens of horsemen who entered the barracks still did not stop at all, and rushed along the main road of the barracks towards the camp of the commander of the three armies, and there were cavalry squads along the way that continued to join this line......
The strange scene immediately attracted the soldiers of the other battalions near the road to watch, they looked at the strange behavior of your twenty-seventh battalion, and did not dare to come forward to inquire without the command of the general.
The sound of the hooves of the rushing cavalry had already alerted the guards of the headquarters of the three armies, and they lined up under the command of the school officer, preparing to meet the unknown target that was rushing in.
The slaughter ensued, countless arrows shot from a distance, and after a few rounds of rapid fire, there were hundreds of guards with halberds and shields in their hands, and there were not many of them able to stand up again.
However, before these guards could breathe, a torrent struck and killed, and one by one, the guards who were still breathing were mercilessly slaughtered by the ruthless halberds in the hands of the cavalry......
Outside the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the officers and men of the 27th Battalion, wearing deep armor, holding longbows, or holding halberds, or holding steel shields, showed their figures.
A ruthless massacre suddenly caused a crisis among the soldiers of countless other camps in the distance, and their first thought was that the 27th Battalion had mutinied.
Surrounded by the soldiers of the 20th battalion, the Xia army entered the camp of the commander of the three armies without hindrance.
His men beat a huge magic drum next to the tent, and the sound of the drums instantly filled the entire tent......
This is the commander's order to summon all the battalion-level officers to assemble, and this drum order has not been sounded for decades...... After all, if there is any military order, it only needs to be issued through the herald and lieutenant general, and the drum order will only be sounded in a very urgent situation.
As early as when the 27th Battalion attacked and killed the commander's guards, several nearby battalion commanders reacted and began to reorganize the army. And more camp commanders stationed in distant camps are still asleep!
When everyone heard this extremely shocking drum, they all looked at the headquarters of the commander of the three armies, but only the commander was qualified to command people to beat it. All the generals above the battalion level were desperately dressed up as soon as possible, and then rushed to the headquarters.
Just when Xia Jun beat the drum and ordered the generals to gather, in the study room of the palace in Fengsha City, Pang Zhenchen and Feng Xinyi were also talking......
Pang Zhenchen smiled at Feng Xinyi, who was still a little wary, and said: "Government affairs, military affairs, legal affairs, and finance are the four most basic categories to maintain the operation of a country."
"In prosperous times, when government affairs are the first, in troubled times, military affairs must be the first"
"Our manpower is limited, so we can only start with the Praetorian Guard, and only by completely controlling the military strength of the entire imperial city can we deter all kinds of princes and defender generals who are thousands of miles away."
"I know all this", Feng Xinyi said: "What I don't understand is why did you choose Xia Jun as the commander of the three armies of the Praetorian Guard?
"Hehe", Pang Zhenchen smiled: "You asked a good question"
"The choice of Xia Jun is not a random choice, but he has this ability, first, he governs the army strictly, once this kind of military mutiny is started, then he can control the whole situation as quickly as possible, which requires rich military management ability. And it must be a military attache who serves in the army and has real power."
This is the second point I chose him, and the twenty-seventh battalion under his command dared to follow him in a military mutiny. ”
"As for the third point, and most importantly, he has ambitions!"
"This kind of military mutiny is not something that anyone dares to do, even if you hold your nominal decree in your hand, but it is still extremely dangerous. In the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers besieging him, even a supreme martial artist is powerless, let alone an ordinary military attaché, so this kind of crazy thing can only be done by ambitious people. ”
"The fourth point is also very important, that is, to be ruthless, this military mutiny, after success, it is necessary to carry out a super-large-scale purge, at least the purge of generals above the battalion level is unavoidable, and a person who is not ruthless enough cannot do it. ”
After saying the above words, Pang Zhenchen said with a smile in his tone: "From today onwards, your kingdom will undergo earth-shaking changes, are you ready to control it?"
Time was passing, and the fifty-nine battalion commanders, led by the twelve division commanders, came to the camp of the commanders of the three armies, and the Xia army had already brought his adjutant and was already at the gate of the camp to greet the arrival of the generals.
The Fengsha Praetorian Guard is composed of three large armies, a well-organized Praetorian Guard, not counting the gang army and the logistics army, the number of main combat soldiers is about 200,000. Each corps was divided into twenty battalion headquarters, and the five battalion headquarters were combined into a division headquarters.
There are fifty-nine battalions and 590,000 troops, and the Xia army only relies on one of his battalion headquarters, which is full of 10,000 people, and dares to carry Feng Xinyi's nominal will into the Praetorian Guard camp to launch a military mutiny, this kind of courage is not possessed by everyone."
The corpses in the camp of the Great Commander were in a mess, which made these generals vigilant, if it weren't for the sergeants of the battalion headquarters under everyone's jurisdiction who had already begun to confront the sergeants of the twenty-seventh battalion guarding the camp, then it was really unknown whether everyone would dare to enter the camp.
(I just saw Wen Menger's opinion, so I'll add my own thoughts here)
(I didn't set it randomly.) At present, they do seem to be a little powerful, but please pay attention, I said a long time ago, these people are all the supreme geniuses of the three continents, because only such talents can cope with the great changes in the continent that are coming soon. )
(I also want to cultivate what they write to a low point, but if I write like this, I will become super powerful one by one in less than a few years, and I will be slapping myself in the mouth.) )
(One of the main reasons is that I'm writing a book with four main characters.) If the four protagonists all start to grow up slowly from ordinary martial artists, then I estimate that if I write 1 million words, none of them will reach the human dignity level)
(Believe me, the Star Realm is just a tiny world, and there are countless powerful unknown worlds waiting for them behind it)
