Looking at the women and children who were sitting here quietly, Wu Da's heart couldn't help but soften. He couldn't help but think: After dawn, how many of them will lose their sons or husbands, and how many of their children will never be seen again.
Where is their father?【】
How joyful is life, how miserable is death!
These brothers in front of me are willing to follow the uprising without hesitation. What are they doing for this? Is it not so that their wives and children will no longer be enslaved by the Tatars, and so that their descendants will never be slaves again!
In war, there will be death, orphans and widows, and separation of flesh and blood. There are too many such tragedies in the world. The horse is about to take action. How could I suddenly be so soft-hearted?
"call!"
Taking a long breath, Wu Da turned his eyes away from the old men and children, and nodded heavily to the old subordinates who were looking at him.
Guitou Dao came over and told Wu that almost all the brothers from the Zhongyong Battalion in Dabao were here. There were 378 people in total. Except for two who could not go to the ground because of injuries, the rest of the brothers did not retreat. There were also people from other battalions.
The prince's old men are still contacting him. Because it's late at night and people don't dare to make too much noise, they may have to wait a little longer, but generally all the brothers who contacted him have no problem and are willing to follow the Wu brothers in starting a rebellion.
After listening, Wu Da nodded. He expected the reaction of his old subordinates. If it was earlier, I am afraid everyone would still have concerns, but now that the knife is on their neck, I am afraid no one will hesitate anymore. Fight to death, no matter what.
Fighting means death, both ends are death, it is better to fight once, maybe you won't die.
After waiting for a while, more and more people were seen. Wu Da was worried that the news would be leaked if he continued like this, so he decisively said to Guitou Dao: "No wait, let's take action first. Later, we will use the fire as a signal to tell those people."
Brothers, as soon as the fire breaks out, grab the guy and go straight to the Dutong Yamen!" After saying that, he grabbed a wooden stick at the door of the wooden house, said nothing, and passed through the crowd. Behind him, Wu Wu and others were
The 378 former members of Wu Jun's Zhongyong Battalion also followed silently without saying a word. They walked resolutely, and no one even glanced back at their wives and children.
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold. Can a strong man return once he leaves?
Wu Liu just went to Li Ge's house to tell Pan Changqing about the situation on his eldest brother's side. After Pan Changqing told him what to pay attention to after taking action, he asked him to bring a message to Wu Da.
"My body is old and I can no longer kill the enemy. If I go there, I will be a burden to everyone. Everything belongs to your brother. After taking action, don't worry about other places and go straight to Dutong Yamen. Move as fast as possible.
Okay, we must catch Chang Shou first!"
Xiao Zhenghua also sent someone over to deliver a letter, saying that he had contacted sixty or seventy Sichuan Army brothers who were willing to follow. As soon as Wu Da took action, they responded from the east side of the city and set fires along the streets, telling the Qing army to focus on one thing and not the other.
Rush to Dutong Yamen.
In addition to the Zhongyong Camp, more and more Wu Jun's old troops came over quietly, and they surrounded the wooden house in a dark manner. Fortunately, this was the area where Wu Ni lived in the fort, so the bannermen and people of all ethnic groups in the distance were
Everyone knew nothing about what happened here. Only Ezhuo, a banner man, got up and wanted to cook some sweets in the kitchen, only to find that the two slaves assigned to him were missing. However, he didn't think much about it, and only said that these two slaves were missing.
A slave went out to steal chickens and dogs in the middle of the night. Because this is a common thing in Shangyang Castle, many Wu Ni and those criminals who are always hungry often sneak out to steal food after the master goes to bed in the middle of the night.
.The banner people generally don't pay much attention to these sneaky behaviors, but if they are caught, they will be beaten to death.
"When these two slaves come back, how will I deal with you?"
Ezhuo stretched out lazily, lit a candle and went to the well, fetched a bucket of cold water, wetted a towel and wiped it on his body. It was too hot and he was sweating all over his body when he slept.
After wiping it happily a few times, he threw the bucket into the well and was about to go back to sleep. However, he heard footsteps suddenly coming from the courtyard wall outside, and they became more and more numerous. Finally, he heard several people walking in the courtyard.
Rushing to the wall.
In the middle of the night, who the hell is full and has nothing to do to mobilize troops and catch thieves?
When he thought of catching a thief, E Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, "Hey, don't catch those two slaves of mine!" He felt a little panicked. If the government soldiers took away the stolen goods, they would probably die.
My family has finally been looking forward to the stars and the moon to be assigned two strong slaves, so they are directed to work in the fields. If this is given to the government, who will harvest the wheat in the fields?
Uneasy, he saw a ladder set up against the wall. Ezhuo hurriedly climbed up the cloud and looked out of the wall. He was so frightened that he spit out his tongue. He saw hundreds of Wu Ni holding sticks and hatchets.
, hoe and sickle are walking quickly towards the direction of Dutong Yamen.
"make!"
Before the word "made" came out of his throat, he swallowed it alive, looked around, and retracted his head knowingly, slowly climbed down the ladder, and then flew like a flying
He rushed back into the house and closed the door tightly, not daring to take a breath.
What a danger, what a danger. Fortunately, I didn’t scream out, otherwise these Wu Ni would have rushed in and killed me first! Hehe, these Han dogs are very courageous, but they are so damn blind that they dare to attack Shangyang Fort.
It doesn’t matter how many soldiers of our Eight Banners are in this fort!
Running in a hurry, he no longer cared about hiding his traces. Along the way, Wu Da heard many bannermen in the house shouting in surprise. He could no longer delay and must rush to the Qing army before they noticed it.
Dutong Yamen captured Chang Shou, otherwise he would be in disaster. He passed through another street, and when he was still one street away from Dutong Yamen, a group of Qing soldiers on patrol suddenly appeared at the corner in front.
Seeing a large number of people hurriedly coming this way, the Qing Bingxiao Cavalry School leading the team couldn't help shouting: "Who is it?"
"The person who wants your life!"
Wu Dafa shouted, picked up a wooden stick and rushed forward. Behind him, hundreds of Wu Jun's former troops also roared and rushed forward with various weapons. The Qing soldiers were only about ten people, and they couldn't even fight back.
None, so he was beaten to death with sticks.
After killing a Qing soldier with a stick, Wu Da rushed towards the Dutong Yamen without stopping.
"Kill, kill the Tatars!"
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"
The fire in the east city also shot up into the sky. In an instant, countless shouts rang out in the entire Shangyang Fort. The fire was everywhere and the sound of killing was loud. The bannermen and Qing soldiers in the fort had no idea how many Wu Ni had rebelled. Inside the Dutong Yamen
They all mingled together, because the louder and louder shouts of killing had already reached the yamen gate.
"Quick, hurry up and guard the door, don't let them rush in!"
Chang Shou, the commander of Shangyang Fort, was awakened from his sleep. He rushed out wearing a thin coat. When the city was full of fire, he stamped his feet anxiously: "Wu has rebelled against heaven, Wu has rebelled against heaven!"
