Chapter 778: Are They Born Superior to Us?
"No, I'm going to stay and kill those brutes!"
When these words fell, the faces of the rest of the soldiers in the camp were full of shocked colors that could not be concealed.
Facing everyone's eyes, only to hear the sound of 'scurry', Huang Qing pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist, faced everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that those officers were born to be one level higher than us?" ”
Seeing that none of the soldiers in the camp answered, Huang Qing paused for a moment and continued.
"Why, then, do you drive us like cattle and horses, and call us domestic slaves?"
"We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, not the house slaves of those officers, Lao Li takes care of everyone so much on weekdays, but in the end, he still died in the hands of those beasts!"
"Blood debts can only be paid with blood, I want to cut off the heads of Wang Baihu to pay tribute to Lao Li."
"Kill all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials who ride on our heads and make a nest of snakes and rats, and take back the land that originally belonged to us!"
Huang Qing's words completely ignited the emotions of the soldiers in the camp, and they waved the weapons in their hands and said in unison: "Kill that group of corrupt officials and take back the land that originally belonged to us!" ”
After that, I saw Huang Qing tear his sleeves and tie strips of cloth to his arms.
When the rest of the soldiers saw this, they did the same, and they wrapped strips of cloth around their arms to distinguish their identities.
"Everyone follow me, go to Wang Baihu's camp, kill him, and avenge Lao Li!"
"Yes!"
Subsequently, under the leadership of Huang Qing, many soldiers in the camp tent, armed with weapons, went straight to Wang Baihu's camp tent.
……
On the other side, in the tent of Wang Baihu.
"Alas, it's a pity, it's a shame to have to spend this good night in the barracks!"
"I don't know what kind of wind is being pumped from above, so I have to harvest all the remaining mulberry leaves within the time limit."
After complaining, I saw Wang Baihu raise his head and drink all the wine in the cup.
At this time, Wang Baihu missed the three-room concubine he raised in Songjiang Mansion very much.
When Wang Baihu's words fell, a soldier next to him who seemed to be dressed as a personal soldier responded with unusually flattery: "My lord is right, this long night, but to spend in the barracks, it's really boring!" ”
"My lord, do you want to let the little one go to Chunxiangyuan and find a few girls to drink with you?"
Although Wang Baihu was a little moved by this proposal, on the surface, he still pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, waved his hand, and followed suit.
"This ...... This is not good, if you recruit prostitutes into the camp, you will inevitably be punished heavily! ”
"Your Excellency, you've worked hard all day, can't you still enjoy it?"
"Besides, right now, Lord Qianhu and the two Deputy Thousand Households are not in the barracks, except for Zhang Baihu, you are the biggest!"
When the soldier heard Wang Baihu's words, he chuckled lightly and said so.
When Wang Baihu heard this, after bowing his head slightly, he agreed with the words of the pro-soldier: "Well, it makes sense, the Lord Qianhu and the two deputy Qianhu adults do not live in the barracks on weekdays. ”
"This official is tired after a long day, can't he enjoy it?"
After Wang Baihu finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze from the pro-soldier, and turned to speak: "Well, do a good job, and after a while, this official will mention you again!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
When the pro-soldier heard Wang Baihu's words, he immediately leaned down and responded in an unusually flattering voice.
Just as the soldier was about to leave the tent, he heard a voice from outside the tent: "Stop, who is it?" ”
The words fell, only to hear the sound of swords entering the flesh, and then, the camp tent was opened, and Huang Qing, who was holding a Yanling knife, and a group of soldiers with weapons walked in.
At the same time, it is accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
When he smelled the smell of blood, Wang Baihu sensed that something was wrong, but he still pretended to be calm and reprimanded: "What are you doing, trespassing on the camp tent is ......"
Before Wang Baihu finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Huang Qing, the leader: "You beast, I will use your head today to pay tribute to Lao Li!" ”
After Huang Qing finished speaking, he carried the Yanling knife and killed Wang Baihu cleanly, and the rest of the soldiers saw this situation, and while hacking the pro-soldier to death, they also blocked Wang Baihu's retreat.
Because Wang Baihu had drunk a lot of wine before this, his behavior was a little sluggish, and he just wanted to reach out for the weapon he had put aside.
I saw Huang Qing raise and fall with a knife, and with the Yanling knife in his hand, he cut off Wang Baihu's right hand with a knife.
The moment his hand was cut off, an indescribable pain spread throughout his body, almost making Wang Baihu faint to death.
"Ahhh
At this time, he was lying on the ground with a painful face, and he couldn't stop wailing.
Seeing this, Huang Qing did not give Wang Baihu any respite, but carried the Yanling knife and came straight to Wang Baihu.
At this moment, due to the pain, large beads of sweat oozed from Wang Baihu's forehead, and his expression became extremely hideous.
Seeing Huang Qing walking towards him with a Yanling knife, Wang Baihu didn't care about the sharp pain in his hands, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing constantly, wanting to exchange this for his life.
"The little one is also forced to be helpless, it was the top that asked me to do this, I have a house in the city, I have a three-room concubine, my family property can be given to you, just please spare my life......"
Seeing that Wang Baihu, who is high-minded and high-spirited on weekdays, and can decide life and death with one word, in order to survive, he can actually put on such a posture.
Seeing this, Huang Qing's face was even more contemptuous, and he unconsciously clenched the Yanling knife in his hand.
At this time, Huang Qing felt that this was the greatest fairness in the world.
Seeing that Huang Qing was unmoved, Wang Baihu was completely panicked, and in the face of the threat of death, he began to babble nonsense: "You...... You can't kill me, this ...... This is a capital crime, this is a capital crime of beheading, if you let me go......"
Before Wang Baihu finished speaking, he saw Huang Qing raise and fall with the knife in his hand, and use the Yanling knife in his hand to slash through Wang Baihu's neck with extra force.
I only heard a 'poof', which was the sound of a sword cutting through flesh and blood, and then Wang Baihu's dead head flew out all at once and fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Almost at the same time, Wang Baihu's headless corpse, blood gushing out, splattered like a spring.
Blood splattered on Huang Qing's face, and there was still a little warmth.
After that, Wang Baihu's headless corpse, like a kite with a broken string, fell straight to the ground, blood flowed down the wound, and gradually gathered into a pool of blood on the ground.
Even with such a bloody scene, the expressions on the faces of Huang Qing and many soldiers present did not change.
At this moment, they only felt an incomparably comfortable feeling coming from all over their bodies, and the resentment that had been accumulating seemed to be released at this moment.
Then, I saw Huang Qing step forward, lift his hair, and pick up Wang Baihu's dead head from the ground.
At this time, on Wang Baihu's face, there was still a residual expression before his death, and he looked incredulous.
After doing this, I saw Huang Qing walking out surrounded by a group of soldiers in the camp.
……
Outside the camp tent, they were already surrounded by soldiers who rushed to hear the news.
After walking out of the camp, I saw Huang Qing throwing the dead head of Wang Baihu in his hand like garbage.
When the soldiers saw the human head clearly, their faces were full of shock. Because it was the head of Wang Baihu.
Because on weekdays, Wang Baihu relied on his own power and oppressed these soldiers a lot.
Seeing Wang Baihu being beheaded, the faces of the soldiers present couldn't help but flash a hint of happiness.
When Zhang Baihu, who was in charge of the command on the side, saw this situation, his eyes were split, and his face was full of horror that could not be concealed.
Immediately, I saw him come back to his senses, pointed in the direction where Huang Qing and the other soldiers were, and said tremblingly.
"Killing the chief without permission, this is a capital crime of rebellion, come on, take down this group of rebels who committed rebellion to this official!"
When Zhang Baihu's words fell, the faces of the soldiers around him showed a look of struggle.
Seeing this, Huang Qing immediately stood up, pointed his finger in the direction where Zhang Baihu was, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, now that the matter has come to this, do you still have to die for them? ”
"This group of damned officers, riding on our heads, using us as domestic slaves, not only usurped the land that belonged to us, but also tried to withhold military salaries by all means!"
"I can't hide it, we won't even get a penny of military pay this month, because these damn moths have lost money and want to make up for it from us!"
"Brothers, rise up and rebel, kill all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and take back the land that belongs to us."
After Huang Qing finished saying these extremely inflammatory words, the rest of the soldiers looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't make a move for a long time.
When Zhang Baihu on the side saw this situation, he knew that something was wrong, and if it continued like this, I was afraid that the army's morale would be chaotic.
At this time, a large bead of sweat rolled down Zhang Baihu's forehead, and he immediately stood up and said stubbornly: "Don't listen to his demagoguery, this month's salary is still paid, and they obviously want to drag you into the water together!" ”
"What they committed was the crime of killing their heads, hurry up and take down this group of rebels, and after taking down this group of rebels, there will be a lot of rewards from above......"
Before Zhang Baihu finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly by Huang Qing: "Do the brothers still have to be deceived by them, where will there be any rewards, even if there is, it will fall into the hands of this group of officers, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”
"From the past to the present, when has this not been the case?"
After Huang Qing's resounding words fell, it quickly aroused the approval of most of the soldiers at the scene.
"Yes, that's right, in the past, even if there were rewards from the imperial court, most of them fell into the pockets of this group of officers!"
"Yes, those officers have all bought houses in the city, and they have kept several concubines, where did their money come from, didn't it come from us?"
"This group of non-personnel beasts has occupied all the land allocated to us by the imperial court and used it to plant mulberry seedlings."
The more the soldiers spoke, the more excited they became, as if they were already excited.
Zhang Baihu, who was in charge of commanding these soldiers, became more and more panicked when he saw this, because these soldiers no longer obeyed his command, and there was a tendency to turn their guns.
Just when Zhang Baihu was about to secretly take his own soldiers out of the barracks and go to the city to seek reinforcements, he only felt a pain behind him, and then stumbled and fell to the ground.
When he tried to struggle to get up from the ground, he realized that he no longer had the strength to get up.
Subsequently, I saw a soldier step forward and use the Yanling knife in his hand to kill Zhang Baihu with one sword.
"Brothers, kill all these corrupt officials and take back the land that was our own!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
After Huang Qing raised his arms, more and more soldiers joined it, and most of them were ordinary sergeants who were bullied by their superiors on weekdays.
Immediately afterwards, a long-overdue killing began, and Huang Qing led his soldiers to kill those officers who usually liked to abuse their subordinates.
The sound of miserable howls and begs for mercy resounded throughout the barracks.
……
At the same time, Matsue Fujo.
When Li Qishang, who was guarding the palace and was still enjoying the gentleness in the room, he heard a quick knock outside the door, interrupting his interest.
"Who is not long-eyed and dares to disturb Master Ben at this time?"
With an overwhelming resentment, I saw Li Qishang hurriedly get dressed, and impatiently ordered: "Come in!" ”
As the words fell, there was only a 'squeak', and the door to the room was pushed open, only to see a servant walk in with a panicked face.
"Master, something is wrong, the two deputy Qianhu adults are looking for you, saying that there is an urgent matter, please go over in person!"
After listening to the slave's report, Li Qishang's face was full of displeasure, he lowered his head, and said to himself: "These two things that don't have long eyes, don't they know what time it is?" ”
Immediately after Li Qishang, with the help of the two concubines, cleaned up his appearance, looked in the direction where the slave was, and commanded: "Take this master over!" ”
"Master, the two deputy Qianhu adults are currently waiting in the hall, please come with the little one!"
When the slave heard Li Qishang's words, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately lowered his head and responded respectfully.
Subsequently, under the guidance of the slave, Li Qishang, who was full of resentment, came to the hall used to entertain guests in the mansion.
It's just that before he could attack, the two deputy Qianhu brought an extremely heavy news: "The soldiers in the barracks have rebelled!" ”
"According to the accounts of the soldiers who escaped, most of the officers who stayed in the camp were killed by the soldiers who rebelled, and I heard that the leader was an ordinary soldier named Huang Qing!"
At first, Li Qishang thought that he had heard it wrong, and only after he repeatedly confirmed it several times did he confirm the news.
After confirming this news, Li Qishang seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and the whole person sat weakly on the chair.
Li Qishang knew that everything was over, and the soldiers under his rule rebelled, and what awaited him next must be a severe punishment from the imperial court.
If the imperial court finds out the reason again, Li Qishang will no longer dare to continue to think about it.
After the initial panic, Li Qishang quickly reacted, and at present, the top priority is to suppress this group of rebellious soldiers as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when things get bigger, there will be no room for manoeuvre.
After this, I saw Li Qishang suppress all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, glanced over the two deputy Qianhu in front of him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Without further ado, you should hurry up and go to the government office and tell the surname Wang the truth!" ”
"In any case, we have to let him send troops over, and we have to quickly suppress this group of rebels who have committed rebellion!"
When Li Qishang's words fell, I saw a trace of doubt flashing on the face of one of the deputy Qianhu, and said cautiously: "Big ...... My lord, can these soldiers in the city alone suppress those rebels who commit rebellion? ”
"Why don't you transfer troops from the neighboring guard?"
When Li Qishang heard this, he immediately became angry, slammed the table, and said in a deep voice: "You idiot, won't everyone know about it when the time comes, if the things we do get out, even if we have ten heads, it won't be enough to cut off!" ”
"The soldiers in charge of the city's defense should be able to barely suppress it."
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Qishang made such a judgment.
Seeing that Li Qishang had already made a decision, the remaining two deputy Qianhu, you look at me, I will look at you, even if he had doubts, he had no choice but to comply.
After the two deputy Qianhu left, I saw Li Qishang rubbing his temples, and his face was full of worry that he couldn't hide.
……
On the other side, inside the palace.
At this time, Wang Jian, the prefect of Songjiang, who was woken up from his sleep, looked at the two deputy Qianhu in front of him, and his face was full of unkindness.
"Say, it's so late, what's the point of finding this official?"
Wang Jian yawned when he said this.
When Wang Jian's words fell, the two deputy Qianhu on the side, after exchanging glances with each other, stood up and said cautiously: "My lord, I can't hide it, not long ago, there was a riot in the barracks, and those soldiers rebelled!" ”
After learning this exciting news from the mouths of the two deputy thousand households, Wang Jian suddenly became agitated, and suddenly fell asleep.
Then, I saw him get up from his seat suddenly, look at the two deputy Qianhu with a look of disbelief, and confirm to him: "What, what did you say, there was a riot in the barracks?" ”
Facing Wang Jian's eyes, the faces of the two deputy Qianhu were full of bitter smiles, nodded, and repeated the previous news: "Yes, Lord Prefect, there was a riot in the barracks, and those soldiers rose up to rebel!" ”
"My lord wants you to draw a part of the army in charge of the city's defense to suppress this group of lawless rebels!"
When the words fell, Wang Jian refused the proposal without thinking about it, he didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Regarding Wang Jian's reaction, the two deputy Qianhu seemed to have expected it, and then, I saw one of them stand up and admonish: "Lord Wang, as a scholar, you naturally know the truth that there are no eggs under the nest. ”
"If we can't suppress the riot in the barracks as soon as possible, then the matter will be big, and no one will be able to escape the involvement!"
"When the punishment is on, what should be said and what not to say is not something we can control, right?"
When Wang Jian heard this, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, he slapped the table suddenly, and reprimanded: "Bastard, who gave you the courage to threaten this official?" ”
When the deputy Qianhu heard this, he was also aroused, sneered, and said indifferently: "Lord Wang, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, do you think you can escape from it?" ”
"Now hurry up and send troops to suppress it, maybe it's still too late, if it continues to drag on, what will happen, it's not something that the lower officials can guarantee."
When the words of this deputy Qianhu fell, Wang Jian's face changed again and again, and he knew that what this deputy Qianhu said was true.
If the riots in the camp can be suppressed as soon as possible, there may be room for manoeuvre, and if we sit idly by, no one can predict what will happen next.
After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, I saw Wang Jian come back to his senses, take a deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, he spoke: "Say, how many people do you need to be transferred from the city defense." ”
"Judging from the current situation, it should be enough to transfer a few hundred people."
When Wang Jian heard this, after thinking for a while, he nodded, and then said: "Well, this official can send hundreds of people out of the city defense, but you must guarantee that the riot in the military camp must be suppressed as soon as possible." ”
When the deputy Qianhu heard this, he immediately made a promise: "This is nature. ”
After the two deputy Qianhu left the mansion, they saw Wang Jian's face full of gloom, and he was so angry that he dropped the teacup.
I only heard a crisp sound of 'bang', and the teacup shattered on the ground, turning into countless ceramic shards, and the tea in the cup was sprinkled on the ground, and it was still a little hot.
"Li Qishang, a bastard who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, let him do something, and he can actually provoke a mutiny!"
"It's really hard wings, and you dare to send someone to threaten the official, wait, after this matter is over, the official must clean you up!"
After leaving the palace, the two deputy soldiers of the thousand households divided into two routes, one of them took Wang Jian's order to go to the city defense to transfer soldiers, and the other went straight to Li Qishang's mansion in the city to report the progress to him.
In the room, after the deputy Qianhu narrated the whole process of the matter, Li Qishang's reaction was exactly the same as Wang Jian's previous reaction.
"This short-sighted, insatiable fool is still thinking about protecting himself at this time."
"If you have to say it, the matter was caused by him, and when this matter is over, the official will settle accounts with him."
When Li Qishang said this, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and the expression on his face became extremely cold.
At this moment, under the guidance of the slaves, I saw the deputy Qianhu who was in charge of going to the city defense to quickly walk in, leaned down, and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, my subordinates have drawn more than 500 soldiers from the city!" ”
"Well, okay, without further ado, let's hurry up and put down the riot as soon as possible!" (End of chapter)
