After arriving in Xi'an for so long, Feng Ziying's personal soldiers have already been transformed. In addition to the traditional spearmen and sword and shield men, an eighty-strong firecrackers have been armed.
Except for some veterans of Fire Guns, most of them are still new recruits. However, the non-stop training during this period has allowed them to grow up rapidly. Under the leadership of the veterans, they are already able to put up a decent formation.
Since they are his own soldiers and are protecting his own life, Feng Ziying will certainly not be stingy with his investment.
They are all self-generated fire guns, with faster firing speed and more accurate interval. They have a bayonet with an external sleeve for three-stage long-range attacks. The simple bayonet in the melee sleeve turns into a spear hand, which can greatly reduce the number of long weapons used to protect them.
With the number of spearmen and sword and shield wielders, the mainstream status of fire gunmen has become more and more prominent.
This latest model has begun to be promoted in the Northwest Army, Liaodong Army, and Jizhen Army. However, the high price of self-generated fire guns has limited large-scale promotion, so several towns have simply changed to the model of ordinary fire guns plus sleeve bayonets.
.
It's just that the speed of the three-stage attack is slower, but under the thick formation brought by abundant troops, the power released is not much worse than that of the rebel army, the Mongols and Jurchens who are far inferior to their own.
Accompanied by Duan Xipeng's sharp and sonorous roar, ninety gunmen had already lined up to load and take aim under the protection of the spearmen in front.
This group of guardsmen had never seen this kind of formation before. Although they had never fought before, they still knew that the black thing that looked like a fire stick was not really a fire stick.
They all knew that the governor's yamen soldiers practiced shooting at the school grounds every day. Across the mountain, they saw the broken wooden rafts being carried out. Some of them had also seen them, as if they were wearing silk armor and Mingguang armor.
It can't withstand the bombardment of this kind of firearm, but it is much stronger than that crude three-eye fire blunderbuss.
When Duan Xipeng pointed his finger at him, the general was sweating profusely. Lian Geng was swollen like a pig's liver. He was stammering and speechless. The previous arrogant and arrogant aura was instantly wiped away.
My body suddenly felt a lot tired.
Wan has angered the person in front of him. If he gives the order, won't he be beaten into a hornet's nest?
But he has been pushed into this situation, how can he get off the stage? If he just leaves with his tail between his legs in such a dejected manner, how will he meet people when he returns?
And the people at the back couldn't agree, because they had to pay five hundred taels of silver.
The group of people behind him were also agitated, obviously frightened by the formation in front of the governor's office.
Why are you so unruly? You don’t say anything else. We are just here to invite the police under orders. We don’t have any other intentions. We didn’t see us making a fuss in Dusi Yamen.
, you didn’t even mention breaking down the door, so why come to your place and you are treated like someone who wants to kill an official and rebel?
Can't you just come out and say a few words to comfort me?
If it really doesn't work, you can just lay it out in the middle of the night and ignore it one by one, and everyone can get by. Is it necessary to pull out such a big battle so that everyone can't get off the stage?
Now that this formation has been set up, no matter what happens, we have to bite the bullet. The general came out tremblingly, cupped his fists and saluted: "Sir, we are brothers of the Xi'an defender. Brothers, don't want to cause trouble.
Son, we want to rebel even more. We are really forced by life and have no choice. We went to Dusi Yamen, but Dusi Yamen was closed and ignored. We were forced to come to the governor's Yamen to ask for a favor from the adults.
"
"Grace?" Duan Xipeng felt even more confident when he saw the other party's attitude, and sneered: "Is there someone who comes to the governor's Yamen with a spear and a knife to threaten the superior, but says he is asking for grace? Your boss is Dusi Yamen, and that's where it is.
In charge of your place, the governor's office is the center of a province, how can you, a bunch of bastards, just come and yell at them at will?"
"Sir, but the people from the Dusi Yamen don't want to see us." The general manager said anxiously, "You have to give us a chance to tell the governor the inside story, right?"
"Humph, the governor has many things to do every day. Even the prefects and prefectures below need to submit reports and arrangements in advance. How can ordinary people like you just give your opinions? There are tens of millions of people in Shaanxi, and not everyone can come to see them.
If you are dissatisfied with the Dusi Yamen, you can also file a lawsuit with the Procuratorate. This kind of death-seeking strategy is not advisable. Don't fall into the trap of others!" Duan Xipeng said impatiently: "Okay, I have said so much to you with my kind words.
Seeing that you are all members of the Guards, I will give you a moment to burn incense and return to the barracks immediately, otherwise I will treat it as a rebellion and will kill you without mercy!"
"Burn the incense!"
Immediately someone brought an incense burner, lit the incense, and placed it next to the governor's Yamen.
This is really a desperate situation.
Without any room for maneuver, he lit the incense so unreasonably and ordered you to return to the barracks immediately.
Duan Xipeng wanted to use this method to force the other party not to give in. If the governor came out to comfort them, they would really retreat. Wouldn't it be a waste to wait for so long for such an opportunity?
The general manager was forced to blush and sweat profusely. The people behind him kept making noises and clamoring for the governor to come and see him. But for him, it was a dead end. They ignored you at all. You
If someone dares to come within thirty steps, then maybe they really dare to shoot?
"My lord, your official power is too much. We are all serving as soldiers. When we have grievances, we come to the governor to complain, but you have such an attitude. You really don't treat us brothers as human beings!"
The boss gritted his teeth and used other people's money to eliminate disasters for others. He accepted five hundred taels of silver. This was at least a formality. He didn't believe that the other party really dared to shoot?
"We, the more than a thousand brothers, insist on seeing the governor today. As long as the governor shows up and gives us an explanation, no matter what he says, our brothers will turn around and leave. But if the governor refuses to show up and give us an explanation.
Then our more than a thousand brothers will be left here to be killed and chopped into pieces at will, and we will accept it!"
Duan Xipeng was really happy. It was a mutiny. They were just here to act rogue. How could the border troops in Datong Town have such a moral character when they started a mutiny? It was a disgrace to be a soldier!
"Oh, you're still rubbing your nose and face. If I give you some color, you'll open a dyeing workshop." Duan Xipeng's face changed, and his voice became serious: "I only have one stick of incense, so if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"
But the general manager rolled his eyes and shouted: "Brothers, we just want the governor to give us an explanation. Doesn't this violate the law of heaven? We have been exhausted today, and Dusi Yamen won't give us an explanation.
, the governor’s yamen didn’t give us an explanation. Where else can we brothers seek justice? Brothers, sit down! Didn’t the official say thirty steps? Our distance here is at least fifty steps.
Is it okay to just sit here and beg the governor to make the decision? If they want to kill or behead, let them do it, but we won’t do anything!”
The leader sat down immediately, still saying, "I don't believe what they can do to us if we are stuck here!"
With the general leading the way, the noisy large group of Guardsmen also sat down and laughed, trying to make up for the trip.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers looked at each other in confusion. How could something like this happen?
Duan Xipeng also couldn't laugh or cry, but the more he encountered this kind of thing, the more he couldn't give in. He didn't believe that these changeable and untrained soldiers could really do it without changing their color even if they were ordered to do so with swords and guns at their necks. They really wanted to do this.
, they would not be reduced to this.
Duan Xipeng was thinking about how to deal with it, but he saw the governor came out, walked straight towards him, and whispered a few words in his ear, Duan Xipeng immediately felt at ease.
The vanguard of the Guyuan Army has already arrived outside the city, and is about to enter the city to rest.
If that's the case, then let their wishes be fulfilled.
"Arrange your formation, take your guns!"
Duan Xipeng's rough voice sounded, and the soldiers who had already formed a conditioned reflex immediately took a step forward, drew their guns, and there were a few who were in a hurry, but they all quickly returned to normal under the reprimand of the corps leader.
go ahead!"
The dark rows of soldiers immediately stepped forward without hesitation.
The atmosphere in the open space in front of the governor's office suddenly became solemn, and the guardsmen at the other end immediately started panicking and making noises. What was they going to do? They were trying to kill someone.
Have you established your authority?
Duan Xipeng's face was expressionless, but his voice was extremely high-pitched: "Ten steps forward!"
The soldiers advanced in a dark manner and stood still after ten steps.
"Ten more steps forward!"
Ten more steps, thirty steps away.
Seeing the panicked guards, Duan Xipeng had a weird smile on his lips, "Take the gun and aim!"
Some of the guardsmen had already gotten up, others were at a loss, some were fighting, and some simply turned around and ran away.
"Thirty steps have arrived. If you don't leave, I will give the order to fire! Three, two, one!"
Barely waiting for the guardsmen to react, Duan Xipeng waved his hand and said, "Fire!"
Thirty firecrackers fired at the same time, and countless "Bang!" muffled sounds were mixed into a dull loud sound with a delayed effect, mixed with the unpleasant gunpowder smoke.
"ah!"
"Help!"
"Run quickly, these thieves dare to shoot!"
Amidst the howls of ghosts and wolves, the guardsmen, who had been frightened to death, could no longer care about anything else and suddenly fled towards the rear in a swarm.
Fortunately, there was an open space behind them, otherwise the stampede alone would have caused many casualties.
The more than a thousand rebellious soldiers seemed to have been swept away by the strong wind, leaving only broken shoes and boots on the ground, and a few injured people who had fallen and been trampled, wailing there.
