The impromptu meeting in the garrison had a profound impact on the entire war situation, and the verbal exchanges were also extremely fierce. When Sister Wu and Hunchun finally convinced these stubborn guys, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they were a little overused. Waves of dizziness.
In fact, it was also tiring. After running all the way from Ninggu Pagoda, my physical strength was exhausted. All my actions in Aihui City after that were just to force myself up.
The mutiny to annex a province is already considered a super adventure in military history. Later film and television works have filmed countless versions of movies and TV shows around this mutiny, which shows the strong dramatic conflict contained in this mutiny.
A mutiny stirred people's hearts like a whirlpool, and the deepest emotions that were usually hidden became evident at this moment. Everyone fought for their ideals and goals. Under the dark sky of the late Qing Dynasty, a miracle actually happened.
No one is doing it for money, just for a belief and an ideal. Perhaps this is a rekindling of thousands of years of imperial power, or perhaps it is just the beginning of a dynasty's final comeback.
At this moment, the pointer on the pocket watch has pointed to five o'clock in the morning, and it is almost dawn. At this time, people have heard the sound of horse hooves ringing from the four gates of Aihui City and the thunderous shouts of killing.
Not only that, the vanguard troops organized by Tepuxin have begun to tentatively attack the garrison. These attacking soldiers also know that their opponents have powerful firearms, so they do not dare to fight too fiercely, but continue to harass on a small scale and then continuously collect them. Friendly troops increase their numbers.
By five o'clock in the morning, nearly 2,500 troops had gathered outside the south gate of the garrison, and they were occupying three streets and were preparing to launch the final attack.
Luo Laolang, the highest-ranking guard in the chaos, became the supreme commander. This guy was so excited by the verbal promise from Tepuxin's senior official, Houlu, that his eyes lit up.
"Prepare for war! Distribute all the bows, arrows, gunpowder, and shotguns sent from outside the city... There are only 600 enemies. We can drown them with one charge..."
"Tear down the door panel, nail the quilt and pour water on it... Damn it, it was frozen into an ice lump and used as a shield. I don't believe their guns are so powerful!"
"Brothers! You are all brought here by me, Luo Laolang, and I am not kind to you on weekdays! Today is the time to work hard, so support me! I will be the first one, and brothers will rush with me... "
Kill! Thunderous roars erupted on the street, and countless soldiers poured out of the three streets. The strong warriors lined up in front holding the door panels and stepped forward. The soldiers behind them took turns shooting with gunpowder and iron sand, sending white smoke flying everywhere.
This scene was really lively. The soldiers rushed unhappily, but the shouts of killing were really earth-shattering. People gathered together and tore their vocal cords to cheer each other up with their voices. Everyone was so nervous that their hands and feet were cold and sweating, and their eyes were filled with tears. All are thieves.
The gunpowder explosion spurted out balls of iron sand that flew forward aimlessly. Let's put aside whether it can kill people, at least the momentum is enough.
The army was getting closer and closer, and Mauser began to fight back. The bullets hit the water-splashed quilt with a dull thud, and the sharp bullets embedded themselves in the door panel but did not make any progress.
When Luo Laolang saw how effective this tactic was, he smiled so hard that his molars were exposed. He hid behind the door panel and roared at the top of his voice, "Go forward, move forward steadily! When we get to fifty steps, we will charge and risk our lives." One battle will determine victory or defeat..."
At this moment, an angry voice suddenly appeared on the opposite wall, "You little bastard, white-eyed wolf! Look up at your grandpa..."
Luo Shoubei was stunned at that time and thought to himself why the voice was so familiar, and White-Eyed Wolf was a nickname he only got when he was a child, so how come someone was scolding him here.
As soon as he raised his head and took a closer look, Luo Shoubei was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Master, I'm here to say hello to you!"
The one on the wall was none other than Commander Jiao, who was wrongly accused by Sister Wu at the banquet. At this moment, the drunkard was no longer as embarrassed as he was at the banquet table. The Luo Shoubei opposite was the son of their family.
The Eight Banners system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had some shadow of the primitive slavery of the past. Each white flag owner had his own domestic slaves, and when the domestic slaves became high officials, they would also become their own slaves.
One layer of minions connected with another layer of minions, forming the most complex network of relationships in the Eight Banners. Over the past two hundred years, some slaves have done better than their masters, while others have followed the master's family from generation to generation. Finally, a unique title has emerged, "family-born son."
If the slave cannot afford to separate and go out to enter the officialdom, he can only make a living under the wings of the master. At this time, the children born in the slave's family will naturally enter the master's family to do some errands, such as accompanying the young master to study and practice martial arts. People of the moment.
If the daughter is more beautiful, she will be given priority to be filled into the master's inner house as a concubine, and such concubines are very powerful. They have been slaves for three generations. Their loyalty is sometimes more reliable than that of foreign wives, and they are very favored by the master. .
Although Commander Jiao does not have a high official position, his family is a large and influential family in Zhenghongqi. There are many servants in the family. Luo Laolang is the son of the family he grew up with. He used to accompany him to study and practice martial arts. He was given plenty of snacks.
The relationship between these two people is basically the relationship between Jia Baoyu and his young servant Mingyan, which shows how strong it is.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why did you get trapped in the garrison? Don't worry, my servant will come to rescue you right now..."
"Fart! I'll use you to save me. I'm fine... Now listen to my order and stop attacking immediately. From now on, I will be loyal to General Hunchun!"
"Ah?" Luo Guard and the surrounding soldiers were all dumbfounded. "This, this, this... are you kidding me?"
"Damn, am I kidding? General Hunchun is carrying His Majesty's secret orders. We are loyal to the Emperor! Damn, why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't you even listen to my orders?"
The system within the Eight Banners was strict, and the masters' methods of punishing their slaves were extremely vicious. Unfaithful domestic slaves were even roasted alive in iron cages.
Luo Laolang's family has been domestic slaves for several generations. There are not a few female relatives in the family who have married into the master's house, and countless brothers and sisters work as servants in the master's house.
The master and his servants have long formed a community of interests in which both prosper and suffer. At critical moments, the master has more orders than the general.
"Master, whatever you say is what you say! Brothers, stop attacking and wait for the master's order..."
What do the big-headed soldiers know? They just recognize Zhang Guan around them. They can't see higher-level battles and don't want to care about them. People don't have to die in battle. That's exactly what they want.
Commander Jiao laughed loudly and turned over and jumped off the wall, "Good boy, you have lived up to my love for you for so many years! Don't worry, we will have good days in the future, and the little things Tepuxin promised you will count. Damn it! Just follow His Majesty and you'll just wait to get promoted and make a fortune!"
