Chapter 169 Entering the city to put down the rebellion
At dawn, the attack commander and the prefect's rebel soldiers attacked all night. When the attack failed, they who had little military discipline began to rush into the houses in Laizhou City to vent their passion. After a night of fighting, they
Military discipline has long since disappeared. It has become their instinct to grab things when they see them and to have sex with women when they see them. So the turmoil began.
When the turmoil began, there were originally a few low-level officers who were not yet dizzy to suppress them, but their voices were so weak in front of hundreds of rebel soldiers who had been blinded by lust and greed. In the end, they could only
The rebel soldiers left helplessly.
The leader of this group of rebels is Zhou Hao, a man in his thirties with a sinister face. Although he has inherited his father's business since he was a child, he has become deputy Qianhu, but he has always been brave and ruthless.
However, he is very dissatisfied with his current situation. In his opinion, it is a shame for him that a dignified sixth-grade vice-president of a thousand households can only live in a small place like Laizhou and eat glutinous vegetables. He, Zhou Hao, should be a "drunkard"
He is a heroic man who lies on the knees of a beautiful woman and wakes up with a murderous sword.
But although he is a rough and arrogant person with a violent temper, he also knows that if nothing unexpected happens, his life will just pass by without doing anything. It just so happens that during this period, the army has been in arrears with pay for three consecutive months, and the soldiers' mood has already reached its peak.
On the verge of an explosion. So he thought he was smart and led a small group of henchmen to encourage the soldiers in Laizhou to start a pay riot. His purpose was simple, that is, to make the matter bigger, and then force the superiors to appease them. Anyway,
These days, there are many places where people are demanding payment. The superiors have always focused on appeasing them, and rarely mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the soldiers who are demanding payment. As long as the superiors are soft, won't his chance come?
But the development of the matter was beyond his surprise. First, Laizhou commander Wei Jiang decisively led his servants into the military camp to suppress it. Zhou Hao naturally quit. Brother's plan has not been realized yet, so you can
How could it be suppressed? So Zhou Hao led the rebels to beat Wei Jiang and his servants out. Then Zhou Hao, who was stunned by anger and desire, led the rebels to attack Wei Jiang's commander and the prefect.
After fighting all night in the government office, he found that the rebel soldiers armed only with swords, guns and sticks had no choice but to defeat more than a hundred brothers against the high walls of the government office, so he had to retreat angrily.
After daybreak, Zhou Hao could no longer control the tired and hungry soldiers. They dispersed in groups and began to loot around the city. Soon, screams and exclamations could be heard in Laizhou City. Some
Houses began to catch fire, and by now the turmoil over wages had completely gotten out of control, and in just half an hour it turned into a riot that spread throughout the city.
"Sir, all the brothers have gone to have fun, do we want to go have fun too." One of Zhou Hao's confidants licked his tongue and asked Zhou Hao with red eyes.
Zhou Hao looked at the dozens of confidants who had been following him, and saw that there was also a strange light in their eyes. Zhou Hao had seen this kind of look many times. It was a mixed look of wealth, women, and killing.
The eyes of greed, desire and lust.
Zhou Hao thought for a moment and realized that he had just launched the raid the day before yesterday. Although two days had passed, according to Zhou Hao's estimation, even if the reinforcements were mobilized to suppress them, it would take at least tomorrow to arrive at the speed of their two legs.
Why don't I take the opportunity to enjoy it before now? Besides, isn't this the kind of fun that my confidants follow me to make money for? Even if the army sent by the superiors arrives tomorrow and I throw away the swords and guns in my hand, do the superiors really want to
If you kill yourself, you must know that there are not many people willing to serve as soldiers these days. If you kill people like yourself, where will the court find so many people to fill the vacancies in Laizhou City.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao felt that his whole body became more courageous. He pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted: "Brothers, come with me to have fun. Today I will also find a rich lady to eat meat.
Everyone, don’t try to rob me!"
"Oh... Mr. Zhou is so powerful!"
When the confidants heard what they had said to Deputy Qianhu, they all excitedly supported Zhou Hao and rushed forward. However, the place they went to was different from most of the rebels. Their target was the wealthy households with deep houses and high walls.
The high-walled compound was the only place where they were looking for rich ladies and dazzling gold and silver treasures.
Naturally, the people in the city were aware of the mutiny. Almost all the houses closed their doors, and the family hid at home in order to avoid the military disaster. But this morning, their wishes were shattered, and even the instigator Zhou Zhou
Hao also joined the ranks of vandalism, smashing and looting, and those people who thought they would be fine if they kept their doors tightly closed finally suffered.
A store selling groceries was suddenly smashed open by someone with a large stone. A group of wolf-like rioters rushed into the grocery store. Some of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find things, and some of the rioters grabbed hold of them.
The owner of the grocery store grabbed him by the neck and demanded the whereabouts of the money. What's more, he extended his black hands to the proprietress of the grocery store who was already in her thirties but still had charm.
"Master, Master, please do well. I will give you whatever villain you want, but please let the villain's wife go. I have silver here, and I have ten taels of silver here. I will give them all to you.
Here you go, please let her go!"
Facing the grocery store owner's plea, the rebels, who had been dazzled by violence and blood, showed no mercy at all. They knocked the owner to the ground with a ferocious smile, and seven or eight people laughed lewdly and threw themselves at the desperate man.
The struggling landlady. Amid a burst of clothes being torn and the woman screaming, these rebels rushed over one by one like wild beasts...
Half an hour later, seven or eight contented rebels walked towards the next target with knives and guns and looted things on their bodies. Behind them were the corpses of a naked female and a man with half his head missing.
, their eyes were staring blankly into the sky, and their mouths were wide open, as if they were complaining about the injustice of God.
At this time, black smoke was coming out of houses one after another on the streets of Laizhou City. Many people were forced out of their homes by the rebels. Many of their mothers could not find their children, their husbands could not find their wives, women were crying, and men were screaming. The whole Laizhou
The city was in chaos.
Two rioters blocked a mother and her child. One rioter snatched the baby from the young woman's arms and threw the baby to the side of the road. Before the baby could cry, his head was spinning.
He was knocked onto a bluestone on the side of the road, his brain cracked and he died without a word.
"My child, my child!"
When the young woman saw this, she let out an earth-shattering scream. She tried her best to break free from the encirclement of the two rebels, and ran in the direction of her child regardless of her own safety. Unexpectedly, she angered the two rebels.
The rebel soldier became so angry that he drew his sword and immediately chopped the young woman to the ground.
"Damn, you stinky bitch, sir, it's your destiny that I like you so much that you don't know how to praise me. Since you like your son so much, I will send you to the West to accompany your son..."
The rebel soldier spat at the young woman's body, turned around with a curse, and said to his companions: "Old He, let's go! Let's find another girl to vent our anger on, man.
It’s time to feel better after holding it in for so long, haha, it’s better for Mr. Zhou to lead us out to pay. We can have whatever we want, and we can have sex with any woman we want. This is the life a man should live,
Hahaha......."
"Bump bump..."
There was a burst of gunfire, and two large holes appeared in the bodies of the rebel soldier and his companion Lao He who were laughing in the sky. The two rebel soldiers were shot to death on the street without saying a word.
After the gunfire rang out, a group of Ming soldiers suddenly appeared around the street, wearing red mandarin duck jackets like the rebels. However, this group of Ming soldiers were much more neatly dressed than them, especially them.
They were all wearing chainmail and holding long blunderbuss and spears in their hands. When these Ming soldiers saw the rebels, they didn't even say much and just pulled the trigger on them. There were bursts of roars in Laizhou City.
Irregular but continuous sound of bird cannons.
These newly arrived officers and soldiers walked towards the rioters on the street with murderous intent. They were either holding long blunderbuss or holding spears that emitted cold light. They were divided into teams of six and sixty in one group and slowly pushed towards the street.
past.
Seeing these well-equipped Ming troops, the rebels immediately realized that the suppressive troops sent from above had come down, and they all immediately became a mess. Although they were so majestic and arrogant when dealing with the unarmed people, they were so powerful in front of them.
It's not enough to look at these well-equipped and murderous soldiers.
Some clever rebel soldiers saw that the counter-rebellion officers and soldiers had arrived, and immediately realized that their good days were over. They threw down their swords and guns and knelt down to beg for mercy, shouting loudly: "Brothers, so do we.
Officers and soldiers, don’t fight your own people!”
"Brothers, don't get me wrong, we surrender!"
Some of the rebels wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but the result of their escape was that there were bursts of gunfire sounds like fried beans behind them and a blood hole as big as a bowl appeared on their bodies.
There were also some rebel soldiers who believed in their bravery, stimulated by the constant tragic deaths of their companions, and rushed towards the newly arrived officers and soldiers, but they were still greeted by constant gunshots and sharp and cold spears.
After killing all the rebels who fled and resisted, a few voices rang out from the officers and soldiers who had just arrived, "General Dingyuan has an order to kill any rebel who causes trouble!"
“Those who commit adultery and plunder shall be killed!”
"Those who take advantage of the situation will be killed!"
"Those who don't listen to dissuasion will be killed!"
With the sound of shouts, more and more officers and soldiers marched into the chaotic city of Laizhou City...
