The answer to this question is obvious.
So when those supervising teams who were outnumbered began to habitually run rampant in the army, many soldiers began to look at them with strong dissatisfaction and even hatred.
Finally, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon that day, a soldier guarding the city was reported for discussing the Ming army's surrender document in private, and was then killed by the supervising team as a warning to the monkeys.
The supervising team hung him up, stripped him naked, and beat him until his flesh and blood were bloody. Then they started to scratch him with daggers, saying that they wanted to cut off every piece of flesh on his body, so that everyone would know what it means to disobey Ren Xiangguo. end.
To be honest, these soldiers who were regarded as monkeys must have been scared to death, and they did not dare to disobey any of Ren Dejing's requirements.
But this time it was different. Seeing the miserable condition of the executed soldier, one soldier couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and begged them not to be so cruel.
"He has made military exploits and killed traitors. He has merit. He should be comforted and not killed."
The leading officer of the supervising team laughed loudly at this.
"War merits? No matter how great your merits are, as long as you disobey Prime Minister Ren's orders, you are a traitor! He has killed traitors, right? Now, he is a traitor! Why, you also want to be a traitor, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant don't be so cruel. He is our comrade after all!"
The officer's face turned cold, he walked up to the soldier, punched him to the ground, and then kicked him fiercely.
"I let you speak! I let you speak! How dare you speak to the commander like this! You are nothing! You are nothing! You also dare to point fingers at me?"
The officer of the supervising team didn't know what kind of psychological shadow he had. He kicked the soldier who was talking until he vomited blood and continued to kick him.
This soldier usually liked to help others, and several soldiers had a good relationship with him. When they saw that he was about to be kicked to death, they couldn't help it and came forward to plead for mercy.
When the officer supervising the battle team saw several soldiers standing up to make trouble, he was startled and immediately drew his sword and threatened them.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
"Stop kicking him. If you kick him again, he will die!"
The soldiers begged.
When the officer in charge of the war team heard this, his face became violent. He held the knife in his backhand and stabbed the soldier to death.
"Don't order me!!"
He growled ferociously.
And his behavior obviously stimulated the five soldiers who stood up and spoke.
"Why are you killing people?!"
"You think having a knife is a big deal!!"
"Two cows!!!"
"I'll fight you!!"
The five soldiers immediately rushed up and knocked over the officer of the war supervisory team, and then a rain of fists hit him. He screamed in pain, and the accompanying soldiers of the war supervisory team immediately rushed forward to help, and the two sides fought together.
The small commotion immediately caused more people to watch and be eager to try.
After getting up, the officer of the supervising team lost his mind, roared and swung his knife to kill two soldiers in a row.
The friends and fellow villagers of the two soldiers he killed were stimulated, and they immediately surrounded him, pushed the officer to the ground, and beat him to death with punches and kicks.
When things reached this point, they gradually began to develop in an irreversible direction. The small-scale conflict suddenly became the revenge of the ordinary soldiers against the supervising team who liked to bully them. A large number of ordinary soldiers surrounded the supervising team soldiers and beat them to death.
Finally, someone didn't know who raised their arms and shouted slogans such as "Kill all the supervising dog thieves" and so on, and the commotion started.
The commotion in one unit quickly affected the commotion in other units, and the resistance gradually expanded due to the misbehavior of "a very few" members of the supervising team.
The number of participating members has increased from a few to more, and the scope of influence has increased from small to large.
At first, it was just a spontaneous act by the soldiers. Later, when some officers saw that they could no longer suppress the attack, they remembered the Ming army's surrender document.
As a result, many grassroots officers were encouraged to join the commotion and began to attack those members of the supervising team who looked down upon others, killing them to vent their hatred.
Once the rage switch is turned on, it cannot be turned off casually.
The commotion only started near the South City Gate at first, and then spread to the whole city. It turned from a commotion into a riot, and the slogan also changed from "Kill all the war supervising dog thieves" to "Don't sacrifice your life for Ren Dejing".
At first, only junior officers led a dozen or twenty soldiers to participate in the riot. Later, mid-level officers also found that they could not control the situation. In order not to be killed by the turbulent wave, they joined the riot team against their will.
They also shouted slogans such as "Don't sacrifice your life for Ren Dejing" and "Brothers, come to me". They led their soldiers to launch a riot and killed members of the supervising team.
The originally ferocious and unscrupulous soldiers of the Supervisory Team suddenly became rats on the street, everyone yelled and beat them up. The rioting soldiers caught the soldiers of the Supervisory Team who were wearing obviously different clothes and beat them violently. Then they hung them up, whipped them with whips, and stabbed them with spears, until they were tortured to death. Even the human figures are angry.
As time went by and towards sunset, the soldiers' riot worsened. The forced participation of a large number of mid-level officers made the rebellion more organized. Some people even shouted "Catch Ren Dejing and leave the city for reward" slogan.
They began to approach the Imperial City located in the city, and tried to enter the Imperial City to capture Ren Dejing. The Imperial City defenders were naturally elite troops with better treatment, and their hearts were devoted to the court and Ren Dejing. Seeing the ferocity of the rebels, they immediately Close the city gate.
But there was still a city gate where the defenders were rushed in by rioting soldiers before they had time to close the gate, so the imperial city was also rushed in by rioting soldiers.
They wreaked wanton destruction, shouted the slogan "Capture Ren Dejing alive", killed people, set fire to and looted everywhere. It was not clear whether they were trying to capture Ren Dejing or taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
But this is not important, because the situation is out of control, the city is out of order, and the senior officers who are loyal to Ren Dejing can no longer control the troops under their command. The army is completely out of control from the grassroots level, and the senior officers themselves cannot protect themselves.
What's even worse is that a rioting army took advantage of the chaos to open the main gate of Nancheng, warmly welcomed the Ming army in, and took the initiative to act as a leading party to lead the way for the Ming army.
So this brutal offensive and defensive battle that Ren Dejing expected was over before it officially started.
Many Xixia soldiers acted as guides for the Ming army's elite commandos, leading them to key government offices, warehouses, and military facilities in the city to provide them with complete guidance services.
With their help, the soldiers of the Ming Army quickly completed the occupation of many important military, political and economic places in the city, so the soldiers of the Ming Army praised them one after another and were very satisfied with their excellent guidance service and spirit.
