Chapter 308 As long as the rebellion is quickly quelled, everything will be fine
Yaowu camp
"Woooo..."
The horn sounded, the scene was desolate and distant, people roared and horses neighed, and there was chaos.
As Luo Rui led the cavalry to rush into the outpost, many soldiers of Yaowu Camp were instigated by him, tied up red cloth strips, and followed Luo Rui towards the Chinese army barracks.
"kill!!!"
Outside the Chinese army barracks, Ni Biao saw that the situation was not good. Without waiting for Fang Ji to say anything else, he summoned dozens of accompanying soldiers. Without any explanation, Ni Biao dragged Fang Ji and Xue Pan to guard the rear post and fled.
All of a sudden, only three generals, Li Xun, Yao Guang, and Yue Qing, and a group of generals from Yaowu Camp remained in the Chinese military barracks. They were all stunned on the spot, at a loss.
Yue Qing's face was ashen and he said urgently: "Master Li, we must guard the barracks now and don't let the rebels rush in!"
Seeing this, Li Xun also recovered from his helpless state and said hurriedly: "Quick, quick, general, guard the barracks!"
The two generals Yao Guang and Yue Qing, leading a group of generals, began to run to mobilize the soldiers of the fifth army camp on the left and right, intending to quell the rebellion.
But with Luo Rui's shouts, the soldiers of Yeyaowu Camp on the left and right were frightened and stopped moving forward. Some even picked up their weapons, switched sides and joined the rebel army.
Seeing this scene, Li Xun's hands and feet were cold and his heart was filled with fear. Without saying another word, he led his retinue and wanted to retreat to the rear.
However, at this moment, a cold wind swept behind him, making his neck feel chilly.
It was clearly Luo Rui who approached on horseback and pursued him with a gun.
Li Xun's expression changed drastically. He glanced back and saw the general sitting upright on his horse. His face was fierce and his eyes were stern. He roared: "Li Xun, the dog thief, shall die!"
Luo Rui's purpose was very clear from the beginning. He came towards Li Xun, beheaded the general and captured the flag, used his head to coerce him, and instigated Yaowu Camp. Therefore, he defeated the Fifth Army Camp (Infantry), one of the three battalions of Yaowu Camp.
) behind the outpost, he was not willing to fight, and led a hundred soldiers to directly attack the barracks where Li Xun was located.
Because I had met Li Xun several times during the army reorganization meeting, my enemies were extremely jealous when they met.
"No! Stop him, quickly, stop him!" Li Xun felt the murderous intention approaching, his face turned pale, he shouted in surprise, and four or five soldiers around him drew their swords and attacked.
However, Luo Rui was also guarded by cavalry behind him, but with a slight rush, Li Xun's soldiers fell like dry grass with a "poof", and after a while, they were scattered to pieces.
Luo Rui glared at the fleeing Li Xun with eyes that were almost burning, and shouted angrily: "You thief, you must die!"
The iron spear in his palm drew a cold star and stabbed Li Xun in the back and heart.
Li Xun felt a chill in his heart, lowered his head, and rolled on the spot, dodging the fatal blow on the snow. Without saying a word, he got up and ran. As he ran towards the back post, he shouted: "Quick, someone is coming."
!”
Several Yaowu camp soldiers in the distance stepped forward with swords in hand, trying to stop the fast horses and spears. After all, Luo Rui was a general, and he killed the blocking soldiers in a few strokes.
But as Li Xun fled, the generals who resisted from all sides caused a chain reaction, and they also fled in all directions, like birds and beasts.
However, at this time, the back post was also in chaos. The soldiers of Yaowu camp were already dissatisfied with Li Xun and took the opportunity to rush out of the barracks. Some even took crossbows and shot at Li Xun.
"puff……"
Li Xun groaned in pain and fell to the ground. He was about to open his mouth to shout, but he heard an angry roar behind him. He stretched out his hand and felt a pain in his heart. It was clearly Luo Rui who was rushing towards the horse and stabbed him with a gun.
Then he pulled out the gun and stabbed again, making more than a dozen holes in a row.
Blood flowed gurglingly, staining the snow with blood.
Luo Rui dismounted from his horse, cut off Li Xun's head, held it at the head of a spear, and shouted: "Brothers from Yaowu Camp, punish Li Xun without involving others!"
Then he got on his horse and shouted back and forth. The officers and soldiers of Yaowu Camp who had been resisting sporadically gradually stopped resisting and were confused.
Seeing this scene, Luo Rui felt calm and was about to speak.
"General, Fang Ji, the commander of the march just now, Ni Biao, the guard general, and Wang Ziteng's nephew, brought fifty people over. At this moment, they should not have been far away!" At this time, Luo Rui arrived with him.
A man named Wu Qianhu, Baoquan Tao.
When Luo Rui heard this, his heart moved and he sneered: "Fang Ji, Ni Biao, and Wang Ziteng's nephew? Old Wu, you personally send people to chase them! I don't want those who are alive, but those who are dead, kill all their heads."
bring back!"
As for him, he has to integrate the troops of Yaowu Camp to fight against Pang Shili's troops who have come for reinforcements. At the same time, he will use the heads of generals such as Li Xun to encourage all camps to be brave and brave, and work together to break into the Chinese army camp.
, and then break into Shenjing City from Xicheng.
There is not much time left for him.
Qianhu surnamed Wu responded, ordered two hundred people, and rode away.
Because there is snow, the footprints are very clear.
During this battle, Li Xun was shot to death by a crossbow, and nearly dozens of generals, including Yao Guang and Yue Qing, were all killed in the rebellion.
As time went by, news of the military rebellion in Yaowu Camp spread to the regiment camps stationed nearby at an avalanche speed, causing military morale to fluctuate.
Pang Shili, the general of Yangwei Camp, knew something was wrong when the trumpet sounded, and led his Shenshu Camp to rush to Yaowu Camp to provide reinforcements.
But the road was covered with snow, so it was still a little late.
But on the other side, Zhang Baihu led fifty cavalry, riding fast and whipping, and headed towards Yongyefang from the west city gate.
Since it would take time for the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to deploy troops and generals, the fifty cavalry led by Zhang Baihu went straight to the royal residence located in Yongyefang without any obstruction.
Yongyefang was originally a place where high-ranking officials from the imperial court gathered. Seeing the commotion on the street, some servants who were clearing snow in front of the door were stunned when they saw fifty riders passing by. They looked up and felt a little noisy.
Unclear name.
When fifty cavalrymen approached the gate of Wang's house, they thought it was Wang Jieshuai who was coming to search for the capital camp, so they didn't take it seriously and continued to shovel the snow with their heads down.
At this time, the young boy in front of Wang's house was also clearing the snow in front of the door. Seeing the soldiers from the Beijing camp approaching the door, he did not dismount. He picked up a shovel and picked up a piece of snow that was several times colder than the cold winter.
With a divided look on his face, he asked: "Where did you come from? You still don't dismount in front of the commander-in-chief's door?"
"drive!"
The family surnamed Zhang didn't say anything, he laughed ferociously, and drove his horse forward, but saw a flash of the horse's sword, a head soared into the sky, and a column of steaming blood rushed up, and suddenly fell on the snow, and the shovel "snapped" With a "click" sound, it hit the three stone steps, and the body fell to the ground.
When the surrounding servants saw this tragic and bloody scene, they were almost scared to death, their bodies were trembling, and there were even scattered yellow traces on the snow.
"Fight in!"
The man named Zhang didn't say much. He got off his horse, led a group of Wuyangyang soldiers, rushed in, and killed everyone on sight.
Not long after, shouts, screams, and women's screams were heard throughout the palace.
The servants of the palace were so frightened that they rolled around and reported to the backyard. At this moment, in the inner hall, Wang Ziteng's wife, Zhao, was talking to Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, discussing matters related to the New Year.
Mrs. Zhao let the two maids hold her shoulders and said with a smile: "New Year's Eve, I will prepare all the New Year's goods."
Wang Yi's wife smiled and said, "I've asked my servants to prepare them all."
"Zi'er is not young anymore, it's time to get married." Mrs. Zhao added.
Wang Yi's wife smiled and said: "I am also worried that it is difficult to find a suitable family in Beijing."
"Madam, it's not good, there are soldiers coming in from outside." At this moment, the servant rushed into the hall and said in fear.
Zhao's expression changed drastically and she said in shock: "What's going on?"
However, at this moment, the shouts of killing were intertwined with the screams, approaching the backyard.
Mrs. Zhao and Wang Yi's wife opened the curtain and looked around, only to see more than a dozen fierce-looking soldiers wearing Han military uniforms with blood on their faces rushing into the courtyard.
Zhao's face changed drastically and she said, "Quick, run!"
For a moment, there was chaos in the hall.
Just when the Wang family was being massacred, in the Hubu Yamen and the official hall, Wang Ziteng was drinking tea and conversing with Qi Kun, the left minister of the Hubu, while some civil servants from the Hubu around were looking at the middle-aged military attache who was sitting upright and dignified.
He has a burly figure, rosy cheeks, and piercing tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows, but he does not look like an ordinary military commander.
Qi Kun said: "After this rectification, the court can save millions of taels of silver every year, and the money and grain can be better used to support the war in northern Xinjiang."
"What Mr. Qi said is true. Now the Donglu are the most serious problem for the imperial court." Wang Ziteng agreed and asked: "Sir Qi, with the imprisonment approaching this year, it's time to pay for the arrears? The generals and commanders below are all waiting. I’m cooking with rice and grains.”
Qi Kun said with a smile: "The elder of the pavilion agreed yesterday to allocate all the money owed to the household department. Wang Jieshuai can just wait patiently for the next two days."
Wang Ziteng nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "With this money, the morale of the army will be very happy, and I will be able to reorganize and reduce the troops, and I will be even more powerful."
Hearing this, Qi Kun said: "These soldiers have been making a lot of noise recently. They are so bold and so bold that they besiege the imperial office. They don't understand the difficulties of the imperial court at all!"
At this moment, other officials in the government office all condemned him.
Wang Ziteng said: "The three assistants of the capital city used to be wreaked havoc by thieves. They were trapped in the capital camp and their corpses were left to eat. Now that they have been eliminated, they actually have the nerve to attack the imperial government offices."
Hu Ke reported the matter to Jiang Xuan and suddenly said: "Sir Qi, the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities is in charge of public security in the capital. When chaos occurs and people rush to the government office, I think they are to blame!"
Xu Yinghan, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, frowned and continued: "The person who is in charge of the army and horse department of the five cities is Yunhui General Jia Heng. I heard that he has been in the capital camp for half a month. Could it be that he can't get away?"
Jiang Xuan said coldly: "Jia Heng, since he is unable to take on the responsibility of both parties, he should be self-aware. The city is in chaos now. I heard that the soldiers who caused trouble were not even detained. It is simply unbelievable."
Everyone in the Household Department looked at Zheng Shi, shook his head, and said: "I heard that Jia Yun knows nothing about military training. After all, he is not as young as a weak man. The book of war says that soldiers are the major events of the country, the place of life and death, and the survival of the country.
We must observe the way of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Master takes charge of an army with this son. Alas..."
"The Cuihua Mountain was rumored to be magical before, but now it seems that it is just a dangerous trick. The Holy One cherishes talents and gave him a title for his horse bones." Jiang Xuan sneered and said, "Now that I am leading an army alone, it is naturally exposed.
cowardly."
Xu Yinghan frowned and said: "You can't say that, I still have some talent. The thieves in Dongcheng and Sanfu are still very clean and tidy."
Zheng Shidao: "There are only a few thieves in Dongcheng. As soon as the officers and soldiers of Guo Yong camp move, they will be wiped out. After that, the Jinyi Mansion will be deprived of any property. It can be done by another person."
Jiang Xuandao: "What Mr. Zheng said is true. He led the Guo Yong camp and the three auxiliary bandits in the capital, but the scabies disease can be wiped out no matter who leads the troops."
Seeing the civil servants of the Household Department in the hall criticizing him verbally and writing, Wang Ziteng's expression remained unchanged, but a sneer sounded in his heart, which made him extremely happy.
Jia Heng, son, you are so domineering even if you are self-sufficient?
Qi Kun coughed and said: "As officials in the same dynasty, you should not be too harsh. In any case, Dongcheng has effectively suppressed the bandits, recovered a lot of silver, and sent them to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Jia Yunhui's young man, Junyan,
We have little knowledge of the matter of military training, and the final decision will be made jointly by the Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing Camp, the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and the Ministry of War."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Ziteng and asked: "Wang Jieshuai, do you think so?"
Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "I have never heard of Guo Yong Camp's troop training method. I guess it was General Yunhui who came up with it, so I don't know."
Qi Kun's eyes moved slightly, and he thought to himself that Wang Ziteng was indeed at odds with Jia Heng, and that memorial was directed at Jia Heng.
However, at this moment, a soldier from outside hurriedly ran into the official hall. He was clearly one of Wang Ziteng's personal soldiers. He was accompanied by an out of breath, pale-faced boy, whose body was like chaff, and said in a crying tone: "Master
, something happened! Some rebels rushed into the house and killed everyone they saw!"
Wang Ziteng turned around and looked at him with a look of surprise on his face, saying, "What did you say?!"
Rebellious soldiers? How is that possible?
The young man cried: "Master, my wife asked me to come and report the news. Master, please go back to your house and have a look..."
In the official hall, Qi Kun and all the officials from the household department looked at each other with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
There were rioters, but no shouts of killing were heard in the city. Where did the rioters come from?
"Where did the rebels come from? Where is Wang Yi? Is Wang Yi at home?" Wang Ziteng asked anxiously.
The young man cried: "The young master went to the shop early in the morning. He was not in the house. I don't know where the rebel soldiers were. They were uniforms from the Beijing camp. They were all riding horses. They killed everyone they saw!"
Wang Ziteng's heart sank, he stood up, looked at Qi Kun, and was about to say something.
At this moment, another report came, and this time it was the soldiers on duty at the Hubu Yamen. They entered the official hall, looked anxious, and said anxiously: "Master Qi, the people from Jinyi Mansion sent Tiqi to say, Liwei Camp
General Luo Rui rebelled! He asked the six government agencies to guard their doors and not go out. Jinyi Mansion's Tiqi appeared in the capital to suppress the situation, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division went to the Four Cities to take over the defense!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the official hall changed drastically, and the civil officials who were originally discussing had a look of fear in their eyes.
Qi Kun suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Take over the defense? What's going on? Whose order is this?"
The soldier said: "It was under the orders of General Yunhui Jia Heng. Jia Yunhui wielded the Emperor's Sword and mobilized the Jinyi Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
Qi Kun and all the civil servants from the Ministry of Revenue were shocked when they heard this.
"Luo Rui?" Wang Ziteng's face froze slightly, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
Yes, he mentioned it in the morning that a guerrilla named Luo had died, and he sent someone to ask Fang Ji to go to Yaowu Camp to inquire. Is it because of this?
All have the surname Luo...
Qi Kun turned to look at Wang Ziteng fiercely and asked: "Master Wang, you are the commander of the Beijing Camp. What is going on?"
The prince saw sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, and said: "Master Qi, Luo Rui led the Shenshu Camp under Weiying to garrison in the west city. Maybe... this general is dissatisfied with the army and rebels?"
It is worth mentioning that the twelve regiments and battalions of the Beijing Camp are like twelve group armies, and Shenji (firearms), Shenshu (cavalry), and Wujun (infantry) are all the standard configuration of the three battalions.
Qi Kun asked: "Why did Luo Rui rebel?"
Wang Ziteng's lips parted, and he was lost in thought.
The boy over there cried and said: "Master, the soldiers rushed into the house, and now they are killing indiscriminately..."
Wang Ziteng came to his senses and said, furious, "Master Qi, I need to go home first."
With that said, he called his soldiers and left.
Qi Kun was thinking about the situation when he suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Prince Teng, you are the governor of the capital camp. If you don't go out of the city to restrain the camp generals and suppress the rebellion, where can you expect to go?"
Wang Ziteng walked to the courtyard, stood there blankly, as if struck by thunder, turned around slowly, feeling his hands and feet were cold, gritted his teeth, his face was livid, facing the private soldier school beside him, his voice began to tremble unconsciously,
Said: "You... lead the people to go to the house quickly to help."
Yes, yes... Now that there is trouble, he needs to go and quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
Pang Shili's Yangwei camp and Ni Biao's army guards are just outside the city. As long as he quickly puts down the rebellion, everything will be fine.
