It has been some time since the Tiger Character Banner army entered Henan.
People in the government knew something about the rebels, and knew that the rebels in Henan were good at using firearms. Although the government army also had a firearms battalion that was good at using firearms, the number of firearms in the rebel army was far less than that of the rebels.
The official army rarely sees cavalry using fire guns, so it is easy to distinguish whether the cavalry outside the city is the official army or the rebels.
Bai Yi raised his head and glanced cautiously outside the city, then hurriedly lowered his head and said in a panic: "Yes, yes, they are rebels."
"These rebels are coming so damn fast." Huang Yougui, the government official, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands.
A white servant hiding nearby stammered: "Boss, let's, what should we do next?"
"What can we do! Just hide! When the rebels leave, we will find a way to go back. If we can't do it, just leave the city. Anyway, with this money, we won't starve to death for a while." Huang Yougui reached out and grabbed a handful in the basket. Copper coins, then let the coins fall back into the basket from the palm of your hand.
"Hey, it's all up to you." The white servant next to him looked at the coins in the basket with bright eyes, stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip.
It doesn't matter to him where he goes as long as he gets the money.
"Stop talking, the rebels have entered the city." Huang Yougui leaned against the wall at the top of the city to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
In front of the city gate, all the people who could run ran away, leaving only a few empty carriages parked here.
Several people came over from among the dragoons outside the city. They led the animals pulling the carriage and moved the carriage to the side of the road, leaving a way into the city.
tread! tread! tread!
The sound of horse hooves reached the top of the city, and Huang Yougui and several white servants huddled together.
"Leave a small team to guard the city gate, and the others will follow me into the city."
The dragoons entering the city quickly divided into two groups. A team of dozens of people stayed at the city gate, and the remaining large group of cavalry entered the city along the roads in the city.
"Boss, what should I do? The rebels won't leave." A white servant beside him said in a low voice.
Huang Yougui also looked ugly.
The rebels guarded the city gate. He and the few white servants hiding on the top of the city did not dare to go down the city wall, otherwise they would be discovered by the rebels guarding the city gate.
"How about we jump off the city wall!" A white servant suggested.
The city wall in Zhongmou County is not particularly high. If you are lucky, you won't be able to kill anyone if you jump from it.
"If you can jump, what will you do with the money? If you wait a little longer, maybe the rebels will leave after a while." Huang Yougui patted the basket in his arms.
He couldn't bear to throw away the money he finally earned to get out of the city.
And they didn't have any money with them. Even if they successfully escaped from Zhongmu County, they would have no choice but to go up the mountains and fall into the grass, or join the rebellion with the rebels.
"What if the rebels stay in Zhongmou County forever?" A white servant asked worriedly.
Most of the copper coins in the basket will fall into the hands of Huang Yougui. Each white servant will not get much, so you are unwilling to continue to risk staying on the city wall for such a small benefit.
"You want to leave?" Huang Yougui looked at him sideways.
The white servant hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Huang Yougui looked at him and said, "You can leave if you want. I won't stop you, but you have to think about it. If you leave now, you won't have a share in the things in the basket."
"Why doesn't it belong to me? I also have a share in this." The white servant's tone became higher and his tone became excited.
He didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, the other party wouldn't even give him a single copper coin. He was just giving him a dime. He really treated him like a stupid boy.
"Why should I give you a share? I got it with my own ability." Huang Yougui stared at the other party with a cold face.
A white servant who can't stand up to the stage, he is not afraid that the other party can make a big difference.
As long as he is willing, he can fire these white servants at any time and replace them with a new group of people.
The white servant said with an ugly face: "Don't regret it!"
"I have never regretted it. If you want to leave, hurry up and get out. None of the things in the basket belong to you, bah!" Huang Yougui spat at the white servant in front of him out of anger.
In the past, he would beat these white servants whenever he wanted and scold them whenever he wanted.
If they want to continue working for the yamen, these white servants have no choice but to endure it, unless there is a back-up, and there are elders in the family who are serious errands in the yamen.
The white servant in front of him wiped the saliva from his face with his sleeves, and said with a livid face: "Okay, okay, I'll remember it, just wait!"
After saying that, he walked towards the horse path of the city wall without looking back.
Huang Yougui's expression changed when he saw the other party's actions, and he hurriedly shouted to the other white servants around him: "Quick, stop him, don't let him get off the city wall."
The remaining white servants guessed what their companions were going to do, and how dared they put him down. They hurriedly chased after him, stopped him with all kinds of tricks, and at the same time dragged him back forcefully.
"Let me go, you guys let me go." Bai Yi, who was under control, struggled hard and shouted loudly.
Huang Yougui said nervously: "Quickly block his mouth and don't ask him to talk."
A white servant tore off a piece of rag from his clothes, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
There was such a loud commotion on the city wall that anyone guarding the city gate could hear it if they were not deaf.
Except for a few people who were left to continue to guard the city gate, the other dragoons held firecrackers and quickly climbed up the city wall along the horse path.
"Don't move, everyone squats down with their heads in their hands."
The first few dragoons to climb the city wall raised their blazing guns and pointed them at Huang Yougui and others who were hiding on the city wall.
When several white servants saw the dragoons and the fire guns in their hands, they immediately let go of the white servant they had caught and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
The white servant who was freed from the trap took out the cloth ball from his mouth, and while walking towards the dragoon, he said urgently: "He is Huang Yougui, the servant in the yamen, and he is the guard of the east city gate."
"Stop and don't move." One of the dragoons used the fire gun in his hand to signal the person not to move.
"Don't move, little one. Don't move, little one." The white servant hurriedly stopped and imitated the other white servants and squatted down.
Huang Yougui wanted to run away now, but he didn't dare.
There were seven or eight firecrackers in front of them, and more people holding firecrackers climbed up the city wall behind them.
At such a close distance, he didn't dare to bet on whether the firecracker would miss.
"I didn't expect that there were people hiding on the city wall." The dragoon captain who stayed at the city gate walked up to Huang Yougui with a firecracker.
People who work in the yamen have special official uniforms.
Huang Yougui was dressed like a yamen servant, and it was difficult for others not to recognize him.
"Everyone, all these are for you, all for you, please don't kill the little one, don't kill the little one." Huang Yougui begged for mercy with his body trembling.
