The first thousand three hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Seeing that the mutinous soldiers were about to arrive at the commander's tent, Wei Guogong and the others were still showing off their blame-shifting skills. Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be speechless. He couldn't tell the priorities. After the mutiny, if one person was not handled properly, everyone would be gone. They are still here. Shit the blame...
"Eunuch He, Uncle Xu, at the moment of the mutiny, we might as well put the dispute aside and deal with the mutiny first."
Zhu Pingan took a step forward, bowed to Eunuch He and Duke Wei, and reminded them solemnly.
"Yes, what my nephew said is that the most important thing now is to deal with the mutiny. This is the first priority at the moment. As for Wang Baihu's official documents, we can put it aside until the mutiny is resolved. There will be plenty of time to deal with it. If the mutiny is resolved, No, I’m done waiting, and I don’t care what Wang Baihu and Zhang Baihu do!”
When the Marquis of Linhuai heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, walked to Zhu Pingan, and said to Eunuch He and Duke Wei.
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"The Za family will listen to Mr. Xiao Zhu first."
Duke Wei nodded, and Eunuch He also pointed at the orchid and nodded, and the two reached an agreement.
Then, Duke Wei, Marquis of Linhuai, and Eunuch He all looked at Zhu Pingan unknowingly.
Well, okay, when Zhu Ping'an saw this scene, he had to stand up first. Eunuch He had obviously not recovered from fear. Until now, you can still see his hands and feet trembling from time to time. Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis He didn't calm down for a while, so he had no choice but to stand up on his own.
"Eunuch He, could you briefly describe the situation after entering the military camp so that we can analyze it?"
Zhu Pingan cupped his hands and said.
"Well, the thing is like this..." Eunuch He nodded, and then slowly said, "At that time, Wang Baihu invited me to Zhenwu Camp with an official document, saying that Wei Guogong had something important to do with me. The Shang and Za family guarded Yingtian under the decree of the Holy One. Zhenwu Camp was an important force in defending Yingtian Mansion. Naturally, they could not take it lightly. Without washing their faces, they hurried to Zhenwu Camp with Wang Baihu... ..."
You didn’t even wash your face?!
Zhu Ping'an glanced at Eunuch He without leaving a trace, and twitched the corners of his mouth invisibly. Eunuch He had already applied makeup and powder, but he still hadn't washed his face... It seemed that these old foxes had to listen to what they said. .
"The Za family met Huang Maoguan, the governor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, on the way. The person who went to invite him was Zhang Baihu from your Zhenwu Camp, so we rushed to Zhenwu Camp together." Eunuch He continued.
"Then what?! How come Huang Shilang was killed by the rebels?!" Wei Guogong asked impatiently.
Eunuch He was dissatisfied with being interrupted by Wei Guogong and looked at him as if he were there. When he saw Wei Guogong shrinking his neck, Eunuch He continued, "I and Huang Shilang just entered the military camp. After walking a few steps, Wang Bai, who led us here, Hu and Zhang Baihu disappeared, and then we were surrounded by rebels..."
Zhu Ping'an roughly pieced together the scene at that time from Eunuch He's dictation:
After Huang Shilang and Eunuch He were surrounded by rebels, they did not realize that Zhenwu Camp had mutinied... Both of them were in high positions. Eunuch He was one of the three giants in Yingtian, and Huang Shilang He is the Governor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and holds the power of money and food for the local guards. He is respected, held up, respected, and worshiped by others on weekdays. Seeing these big-headed soldiers being so rude, he naturally became very angry. Guanwei shouted at the rebels, "You bastard, how dare you be so rude and why don't you quickly retreat and kneel aside!"
However, the big soldiers who usually support, support, and fear them no longer buy into their faults at this moment.
Not only did the rebels not retreat, but they became even more excited. The crowd was so angry that they not only surrounded them tighter, but also pushed them.
"As for our wives' monthly rations, it was agreed upon when we formed the army that those with wives would have one stone, and those without wives would be reduced by four-tenths. You made your own decision at the beginning of the year and reduced our monthly rations by less than half. Just pay back.
, why didn’t they give it to us after they said they wouldn’t pay it last month? At that time, there were still floods. The family was already short of food, and the monthly rations were stopped. Do you know how our family got here?!
"
"Huang, your Ministry of Household Affairs secretly decided to reduce our wife's monthly allowance. Later, you intensified your efforts and made slanderous remarks to the superiors. You abolished our wife's monthly allowance in a memorial! Mr. Huang,
You are responsible for reviewing and distributing the money and food for the various military stations in the south of the Yangtze River. You have abolished our monthly rations for wives and families, and the money has been changed into another form. It has all been embezzled by you, and it has all gone into your own pockets!"
"My surname is He, the Yingtian Mansion's army is listening to you. If you speak, we will return our wives' monthly rations and soldiers' pay."
"Guan Gu, let's not talk about the monthly rations for my wife and my wife. What about our military pay, which is the money for our hard work? There has been no military pay for two months. Our whole family is just using the military pay to buy rice for cooking. Do you want to be hungry?
Will our whole family die?!"
"Guan Gu, bring me the money!"
"Guan Gu, give our wives our monthly rations and our soldiers' pay!"
"If you don't give us money, we will rebel!"
"Rebellion, rebellion! It's better to surrender to the Japanese pirates. People who are popular and drink spicy food will live a thousand times better life than us."
...
The rebels surrounded Eunuch He and Huang Shilang, shouting angrily.
"presumptuous!"
Eunuch He and Huang Shilang scolded the rebels. They were used to being arrogant and arrogant. Not to mention these big soldiers, even the middle-level officers were not taken seriously by them. It was normal for them to show their official power and so on.
These big-head soldiers even beat and cursed at every turn. At this moment, they still did not realize the danger and seriousness of the rebellion.
"A group of Qiu Ba, shouting and shouting, asking for monthly rations for wives and families, has been stopped a long time ago! Soldiers' pay! Oh, the imperial treasury is currently tight, how can there be any money to pay you soldiers! It's rolling, rolling, rolling away."
Huang Shilang holds the power of guarding the various defense stations and the money and food of the soldiers. He is used to these big-headed soldiers, and he can't stop scolding them at this moment.
Naturally, the rebel soldiers would not leave, and their emotions became more agitated, and they shouted louder for monthly rations and military pay...
"We have three thousand people in the Zhenwu Camp. If you don't give us full-month food and military pay today, don't even think about leaving!"
"That's it, we have three thousand people in Zhenwu camp, and one of us is missing today. You dog officers, no one can even think of leaving!"
"That is, if you don't give us money and don't give us a way to survive, you dog officers who eat soldiers' flesh and drink their blood will never survive!"
"If you don't give me money, I will rebel!"
When Huang Shilang heard the rebels shouting about three thousand people, he couldn't help but cursed, "What?! Three thousand people?! It's still three thousand people!"
According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, if a soldier died in a garrison or military guard, then a certain amount of money, food, etc. would be reduced according to the number of deaths. During the flood last month, Huang Shilang was in a good mood, because there were soldiers in various garrison posts.
He died in a disaster and was able to lose a considerable amount of money and food.
Zhenwu Camp was full of 3,000 people, and it still has 3,000 people now, which proves that no one died in the flood.
So at this moment, Huang Shilang was in a very disappointed mood. He couldn't help but cursed at the insurgents, "Your mother, when there is a flood, everyone defends and kills people. You and your guards alone can't kill people?!" The translation is "Made, when there is a flood, everyone defends."
Everyone died, how come you are the only one in Zhenwu camp who doesn’t die?!"
This sentence ignited the anger of the rebels, pushed their anger to the peak, and pushed himself to the point of no return.
The furious soldiers drew their knives on the spot, and Huang Shilang bloomed with bloody flowers...
