Chapter 29: Riots 1
The biggest advantage of the musket is that the speed of training is very fast, and in the military training of the university, it only takes three or five days to train a person who has never touched a gun to become a shooter who can shoot ten rings in a gun within 50 meters.
In fact, the use of firearms is more exaggerated than most people imagine, and it depends more on talent, not that the army can be much stronger than ordinary civilians by practicing every day, and the combat power of the army is more reflected in organization and tactics.
In the next few days, Yang Xin frantically tortured the twenty soldiers, running five kilometers twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, after the queue was a variety of push-ups, and in the afternoon was musket training, formation, loading, shooting, etc., simple movements, repeated and repeated training.
However, there has been no live-fire drill yet.
Later, Yang Xin bought eleven muskets with Sun Shixiong, plus Yang Xin, twenty-one people, each with a musket.
And so time flew by, and another five or six days passed.
……
There are more and more pedestrians on the street day by day, many of them are ordinary people who are a little dazed, and the place with the most people is the grain store in each place.
In the afternoon of this day, Daddy Guo waited for most of the day at the door of Lu's grain store in Peony Lane with a grain bag, but the door was still closed, and a group of more than 20 people, sitting or standing, gathered at the door and waited anxiously.
"It's not a way for everyone to just wait! The old decayed family has run out of food today! I'm going to buy food today anyway! ”
Father Guo said indignantly.
"Who here doesn't want to buy food? The key is that Shopkeeper Lu still hasn't opened the door today, what can we do? My family ran out of food yesterday! ”
A middle-aged woman exclaimed.
A skinny middle-aged man smiled: "Zhang Cuihua, you are so anxious, you can go to Aunt Chen to buy it, then, you see, they are still selling grain at the gate of the new barracks opposite!" ”
The woman chirped: "Bai Da, when is it, you are still talking here, is Aunt Chen's food for us to eat?" 400 wen a pound of white noodles, even if you sell me, you can't buy a few catties of white noodles. ”
This man is thin and thin, but his nickname is Bai Da Man, and he likes to lift the bar the most. continued: "Zhang Cuihua, that Aunt Chen's white noodles are sold in four white texts, are you a good person when you are the shopkeeper of Lu?" Even if the grain store opens, I don't think it will sell cheaper than Aunt Chen! ”
His words reached everyone's hearts, and immediately two people left the onlookers and quietly walked towards the new barracks of the fourth small banner.
Zhang Cuihua's face turned red, and she said: "Even if the white noodles of Shopkeeper Lu are as expensive as Aunt Chen's, it's a big deal that I buy some high-grain millet, and it won't cost 400 Wen, right?" We are all starving to death, how can we care about white flour or miscellaneous grains? ”
At this moment, one person exclaimed: "Oh no, Daddy Guo fainted from hunger!" ”
Several people hurriedly went over to help Daddy Guo, one of them took a kettle to water Daddy Guo, a strong man looked at Daddy Guo on the ground, and said hatefully: "They are all hungry, you have a fart for watering him!" ”
These people are all neighbors, usually watching and helping each other, seeing that Daddy Guo is hungry and fainting, everyone has a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"Bang!"
The strong man slammed his fist on the door of the grain store.
The big white man still said in a weird way: "Hu butcher, smash, smash, smash, if you don't smash this grain store today, you won't be a hero in our Peony Lane!" ”
Hu Butcher was already holding back a breath of anger in his heart, and he was even more angry when he was provoked by this big white man, and he felt that he had nowhere to vent, so he pointed his big fist at the door of the grain store, and became more and more vigorous, who knew that he had a lot of strength, and he really smashed the door out of a pit like this.
When the people next to him saw it, several people suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and rushed up and smashed the door.
More and more people rushed forward, the door was slammed, and suddenly there was a "boom", and it was pushed open by the crowd.
The crowd rushed into the store angrily, grabbed things when they saw them, and cursed and cursed.
"Oh no, there's a rush for food over there!"
Chen Shenggen, the eldest son of the Chen family, said to his busy daughter-in-law, Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen took a team of people out to sell grain, and today she happened to go to the fourth small banner again, she was articulate, naturally she kept lobbying with the people of the fourth small banner, only Chen Shenggen was stupid, and he couldn't help much, but with the work of some coolies, this would be the most idle, looking around, I saw the scene in front of me.
Aunt Chen's mind was racing, her reaction was fast, and she said in her heart: "If they grab the grain, then their own grain will not be easy to sell, and more importantly, they can grab it, why can't we grab it?" ”
So he immediately made a decision and said: "Boss, you quickly take the second brother to pick up the grain back, we won't sell it today!" Go back and tell the general that there is a rush for food here, so we will go over and grab it, and ask the general if he wants to bring someone to help rob it! ”
It's already afternoon, and they don't have much food left, not to mention that they didn't bring much when they came, and now there is not much food left, and the price is very expensive, so the two brothers Chen Shenggen can easily pick it back, and there are only a few dozen catties left.
"Let's go! Let's grab it too! ”
Aunt Chen shouted, and the remaining eight people in their group hurriedly followed, and even many people from the Fourth Small Banner followed, this time there were more people than the people who robbed Lu's grain store, at least dozens of people.
Naturally, the grain store was empty, and there was not a single grain of rice!
When the king entered the capital, the big granary had already been robbed, and the remaining survivors had all hidden their grain, so how could they still put it in the grain store on the street and wait for others to rob it.
These people couldn't grab food, they didn't even let go of tables, chairs and benches, they took things as they could, and finally even the door panel was removed by several people and ready to be carried home.
Aunt Chen led people to rush over and saw that these people didn't grab anything, laughed, and watched with her waist in her back.
"There's no food here? What to do? ”
Hu Butcher carried a stolen bench and shouted to the crowd.
"Don't panic, everyone, listen to me, I know where the family surnamed Lu is hiding, follow me!"
The big white man shouted and took the lead and rushed out.
The situation reversed abruptly, everyone followed Bai Da and rushed away, and some people kept asking: "Where is it?" Where is it? ”
Chen Damiang and others are naturally not to be left behind, they are used to being homeless, and they have no psychological burden to do this kind of thing.
Qian Zhugan and Zhao Laosan were patrolling the streets with more than a dozen veterans of the Dashun Army, before they walked to Peony Street, and suddenly saw a large group of people gathered together and rushed forward, and shouted, "Go grab food!" Big Guy Together! ”
There were at least seventy or eighty people, and there were many people with wooden sticks, and they looked at the equipment as recruits of the Beida Battalion.
Zhao Laosan was suddenly covered in cold sweat, "It's not good, the recruits are riotous, what should I do?" ”
"Don't panic, ask first!"
Qian Zhugan is very calm.
When Bai Da and a group of people saw the veterans of the Dashun Army, they couldn't help but feel empty in their hearts, these veterans of the Dashun Army were the masters who killed people without blinking, they couldn't afford to provoke them, the cheers and shouts were gone, and they were speechless, but this would be an arrow on the Xuan, and they had to send it, and they couldn't retreat, so they could only move forward.
