Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"We are Governor Fang's bidder. What advice does this general have?"

The military officer who led the troops to rob is the highest number Qian Zong, but it is inconvenient to come forward, so the general who just ordered to come forward to answer.

"We are ordered by General Zhenglu to help the displaced mountain people, give them silver and food, and order them to return home, so that the place will be peaceful. I don't know why your department looted the silver distributed to the people?"

Although Zhang Shiqiang is a dignified general and a third-rank general who commands colleagues, he is still somewhat polite to this little general who is the governor's target. Although he questioned him, his tone was very calm and gentle.

The more this is the case, the more arrogant this man will be, with his sword in his chest, he said arrogantly: "There is a reason for this." [

"What reason?"

"I have been waiting for three months without payment, and the imperial court does not pay, so of course I can only collect it myself."

This general is very arrogant and unreasonable, and the soldiers under him are of course not much better, so they waved their knives and clamored together, shouting: "I just want to pay, and when I see silver, I will pay for the army. It is not bad to leave food for them .”

"Even if the emperor comes, I'll take the money."

"That's right, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!"

"If you really have silver in Dengzhou Town, why don't you give us some, they are all brothers Paozhe, why should you give the silver to these mud legs?"

"Haha, that's what I said."

There are more than 100 people in Dengzhou Town, but there are only more than 200 soldiers. The remaining [-] or so are temporarily hired by the townspeople in Taiping Town to pull carts and load goods. It was a holiday and they had traveled long distances, and they were exhausted. In addition, the war horses and draft horses had to be taken care of more at the turn of winter and spring, so the auxiliary soldiers stayed in the camp and did not come out.

On the opposite side, there are at least four to five hundred soldiers, of which there are two or three thousand generals, ten or so generals, most of them are governors, a small amount of iron armor, most of them are cotton armor, although their equipment is poor, they are better than ordinary officers and soldiers These, coupled with the large number of people, made a lot of noise, and it turned out to be full of momentum.

"It's all clear."

Zhang Shiqiang made a regretful gesture, and then the two officers in black armor around him nodded, and then left quietly.

"According to the military law of Dengzhou Township, gathering people to plunder people's property and making troubles together are the first-class crimes. Regardless of the leader or subordinate, they will all be executed."

Zhang Shiqiang looked at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and said with regret: "Seeing that you have armor and weapons in your hands, it is not difficult to kill thieves and make meritorious service, so why bother to do such a thing."

"Haha, it's really ridiculous."

Hearing his words, the military officers on the opposite side fell down with laughter, and the officers and soldiers with swords and guns also staggered with laughter.

There are 500 people here, and there may be more people when there is a lot of noise. There are also many officers in it. Everyone is the governor or the general of the main barracks. If they can be brought out to Taiping Town, they are all the governor and the deputy general of the army. The soldiers of the first-level generals were slaughtered after stealing a few taels of silver. What do the people above think?

No matter how great and powerful General Zhenglu is, he can't kill the officers and soldiers of the governor's battalion without authorization, right?

During the reign of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, when laws and regulations were abolished, the Liao soldiers made many wage disputes. The most serious one was to surround the governor of Liaodong in the camp for a few days, stripped his clothes and humiliated him. Although the governor was later rescued, he committed suicide in shame and indignation.

The matter in front of me, as long as it is about the salary, even the governor has to weigh the stakes. The general in Dengzhou in front of him is probably deceived by lard, and he actually said that everyone should be executed. It's really ridiculous. dead. [

Everyone laughed, and didn't take the Dengzhou soldiers in front of them seriously. Those who wanted to rob continued to rob. When some soldiers saw a beautiful girl and daughter-in-law among the hungry people, they immediately stepped forward, teasing with a playful smile, or simply I touched it with my hands, and for a while, crying and screaming sounded one after another.

Zhang Shiqiang didn't make a sound, and the soldiers behind him also looked stern, and they spread out the array into a semicircle, just watching coldly.

"I see that Dengzhou is also very sloppy. There is no way to be bullied like this..."

On Zuo Liangyu's side, Ma Bao said with a big grin.

His words aroused many people's approval, even Zuo Liangyu was also frowning. Could it be that Dengzhou Town has earned its reputation in vain?From the rumors, I heard that the soldiers in this military town are very united and full of arrogance, and it is rare for them not to rebound when they are bullied.

I heard that when Zhang Shouren started his family back then, he fought Qiu Lei, then Denglai's general soldier, with the identity of a thousand households. Qiu Lei didn't have any temper when he beat him. Now his soldiers can do that?

In the eyes of Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others, the situation in front of them is that Dengzhou Town is at a disadvantage.

What is the principle of military law, the money I issued was robbed by others, go up and grab it back, break up the chaos, and kill a few leaders, so that the prestige and murderous aura will be there, and the reasoning after the fact, the upper-level gossip is not a matter of the next .

The soldiers at the bottom will not have the ability to make decisions, which means that they lack confidence, and those who lead the troops at the top are not confident enough.

"Forget it, I'm afraid there is no excitement here, let's go."

He Renlong has an irritable temper, and he doesn't want to continue to play tricks here. He is not as sure as Zuo Liangyu. With this, he can still be transferred to the front to fight a few battles.

When Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were in charge of the three sides of Shaanxi, he won many battles a year and was promoted all the way to the rank of lieutenant general. Then because of poor military discipline and no one in the court, he just kept stumbling over the hurdle of this lieutenant general. Yes, he came here this year mainly because he wanted to hug Zhang Shouren's thick legs and see if he could get a few battles in the New Year, but the situation before him disappointed him.

"General He, wait a moment."

Zuo Liangyu suddenly grabbed He Renlong's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Look!"

Just inside Taiping Town, a group of military officers wearing black lining and black armor ran out, and then a group of Dengzhou soldiers wearing red lining and short armor ran out.

Both He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu noticed that there were more than [-] of these soldiers, all of whom were wearing crimson short armor. They moved quickly, and their bright helmets and armor were very majestic. From a distance, they looked like big flowers. The red cloud is very mighty.

And everyone has a long firecracker in their hands, with a black barrel and a yellow body, and a snow-white front end, which looks very vigilant and frightening.

"Is this the Gunner of Dengzhou?"

"It looks so, but they seem to have added a white blade to the front of the gun body... What a big deal, is the fire gunner also responsible for the white blade invitation?"

The firearms rationing of the Ming army was very advanced. All kinds of artillery and rockets plus all kinds of firecrackers, so many firearms that it is impossible to remember. Inside, nothing can participate in hand-to-hand combat.

The equipment is not good, the firearms training is not good, and they can't use the sword. It can't be blamed that the Qing soldiers, in addition to being afraid of the Ming army's artillery, sneered at the so-called firearms troops and ignored them at all.

The Dengzhou firecrackers in front of them are holding long firecrackers, with spears on the top, and the spears are connected into one piece, the hoarfrost is like snow, which makes people feel frightened. [

"What, they want to do it?"

"Brothers, hurry up, hurry up!"

These rioting soldiers of the Fubiao Bing Battalion were considered elite, after all, it was not easy to gain a foothold in the Fubiao Battalion, and when they saw that the situation was not right, these rebellious soldiers began to line up and prepare.

But it is too late to do so now.

A group of Dengzhou cavalry scattered from the two wings, roared past, and shouted: "All soldiers put down their weapons and gather for disposal!"

"To deal with your mother, who is the bastard!"

Although the Dengzhou military judges in black battle armor kept yelling to separate the looted civilians, these rebels were not afraid at all, and kept yelling at these military judges while setting up their positions.

"Okay, let's do it."

The gunners had already taken advantage of the situation and formed three thin semi-circular arrays, enveloping the chaotic soldiers in the array.

At this time, the military judge who led the team gave an order, and the gunners in the first row pulled the triggers of the self-generating guns without hesitation!

"Bang bang bang..."

Nearly 200 firecrackers fired together, and the bullet screen formed a curtain wall of fire and smoke, and the rioters shrouded in it were immediately leveled by several rows!

Many people died on the spot. Those who were hit to the vitals fell down without making a sound. Their heads were split, or a large piece of their chest was crushed. Many people who were hit in the arms and other places that were not vital, fell to the ground at this moment, howling miserably.

"After the second row handed over the guns, step back and reload!"

This time the firecrackers did not adopt the traditional three-stage strike method. Although they were divided into three teams, after the first row finished fighting, they immediately handed over the firecrackers in their hands, and the second row handed over their own firecrackers and took them over. The front row returned, and then quickly retreated to the third row, and at the same time began to clean the gun chamber with a stick, and quickly loaded it.

The gunners in the first row didn't stop. As soon as they got their guns, they aimed roughly, and another round of gunfire fired violently!

Under such a blow, the chaotic soldiers on the opposite side fell down row by row like wheat blown by the wind.

"Help, murder..."

"Quick, hurry up and find the Governor, and find us in the Biaozhong Army!"

"Cough, save me, save me..."

This wave of blows was much more violent than before, and it hit many military officers among the rebellious soldiers. The expressions on the faces of these military officers ranged from disbelief to horror, and those who were hit all screamed.

"The third column goes back, the second column goes forward..."

After shooting this time, the action of loading ammunition in the second column can be completed. A qualified gunner should complete loading at least three times in one minute. There is enough time for aiming and shooting and backing up for loading.

"put!"

The gunnery officer remained calm, and after giving an order, the gunners in the first row fired for the third time.

"God!" Meng Ruhu has seen so many strange scenes in his life. The military law of the Ming army is cruel. Anyone who speaks in the tent at night may be executed. Under various corporal punishments, the entire battalion is full of disabled soldiers who have received military law. Even being unable to hold back farts while in formation is one of the crimes of beheading.

But such a brutal and cruel method of marching to kill hundreds of soldiers regardless of good or bad, its cruelty still makes the commander-in-chief of this family of generals frightened and shaken by it!
