Chapter 196

"Li Dingguo, you are a traitor who just surrendered, why should we be dismissed?!"

"Let this kind of person be the coach? We don't accept it!"

"···"

Chinese army tent.

Hearing the faint yelling and cursing coming from outside, Li Dingguo was fine and looked indifferent.

But Xu You, the general manager of his personal army, couldn't bear it anymore, walked in from the outside and said, "General town, these people are too much, I will lead my troops to blow them away!"

Li Dingguo said: "Don't do anything yet, send someone to tell them that the imperial court will properly arrange everyone in the military training. If anyone is dismissed, they will also be paid severance pay.

When you've made it clear, tell them to leave.Then tell them that if anyone dares to make noise in front of the barracks, they will be dealt with according to military law. "

"The end will understand!"

Xu You responded, and immediately led the people away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hualong and Wang Fuchen came over together.

Wang Fuchen said: "General soldier, most of these people are used by the military leaders to test us. We must not be weak, otherwise the training may cause twists and turns."

Li Dingguo nodded, "I know, but these people are pawns, we must give them a chance after all."

Zhang Hualong said: "I went to see them, they are all prostitutes, if they are placed in our current team, they will all be fired. Even if they are released, they will become a disaster, it is better to beat them all to death."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo put down his books, looked at Zhang Hualong, and said seriously: "We are all generals of the imperial court now, and we must have a basis and measure in what we say and do, and we can't act recklessly like before."

Zhang Hualong sighed when he heard the words, and said, "I understand."

Outside the gate.

Xu You was patient and asked a few loud-voiced soldiers to explain the training clearly as Li Dingguo asked.

After listening, most people stopped yelling and began to discuss with people around them in doubt.

"Really? Didn't our general say that he wouldn't give severance pay?"

"Is there such a good thing?"

"I didn't want to be a soldier. It's a good thing to be dismissed and get money."

"Impossible? Before the court couldn't even pay the military salary, how could they still give us severance pay?"

"This is what the Chengdu court said, maybe it's different from the previous Beijing court..."

The confidantes of San Tan, Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and others were hiding in the crowd. Hearing that there were many people around who wanted to choose to trust the Chengdu court, they felt a little anxious.

The order given to them by the head of the army was to force the court to give up the training as much as possible, rather than asking for severance pay from the soldiers.

So these confidantes of the military chiefs immediately hid in the crowd and shouted.

"How long has it been since the imperial court paid the military salary? Will it still issue severance pay? You are lying!"

"Even if it is distributed, it will definitely not be much. Besides, money is not worth much now. Even if you send a few hundred cash, you can't buy much food. The imperial court dismissed us just to force us to die."

"Before the imperial court had no soldiers, we worked hard to suppress the thieves for several years. Now the imperial court has surrendered the bandit soldiers and horses, and wants to dismiss us. Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?!"

"We don't agree!"

"···"

It has to be said that ordinary soldiers do have grudges against the imperial court in their hearts.

The fact that the Ming court did not do well was one thing, and the military chiefs were usually greedy for military pay, but sold miserably in front of the low-level soldiers and slandered the court.

Coupled with the fact that most of the soldiers had little knowledge and were more willing to believe in their "insiders", they were bewitched by a few words from the confidantes of the military leaders, and they no longer believed in the explanations made by Xu You and others just now, and continued to shout.

At the same time, people from the military camps of local officials continued to gather, from hundreds of people to more than a thousand people...

"The last general is incompetent. He failed to convince those people about our explanation. Please punish him!"

Xu You saw that there were more and more people yelling outside, and there was a possibility of losing control, so he hurried back to the main tent of the Chinese army to report to Li Dingguo and plead guilty.

Hearing this, Li Dingguo closed his eyes, opened them after a few breaths, and said, "Let Tong Shuo lead the Musketeers to hold the line, just in case.

You take your personal soldiers over there and warn them again, if they don't disperse, they will all be arrested and whipped according to military law. "

"The commander of the last commander!"

Xu You left at the sound and left the camp with three hundred soldiers.

The soldiers are all really elite and well-armored. In Xu You's view, even if there are thousands of people on the other side, he can bring 300 people enough to hold them down.

Of course, he did not forget Li Dingguo's military order, and he also called Tong Shuo.

Tong Shuo, the chief musketeer, used bright-style flintlocks, and even tens of thousands of local government troops in Kuizhou could solve the problem.

The local officers and soldiers shouting outside the gate were stunned when they saw Xu You, Tong Shuo and others coming out.

After all, Xu You and Tong Shuo's team can be seen to be very elite in terms of equipment and spirit.

Xu You immediately said loudly: "General Li has ordered you to return to the camp immediately, and anyone who makes noise in front of the barracks will be dealt with by military law!"

Some timid soldiers did not dare to make trouble after hearing this, and turned around to go back to the camp.

But those prostitutes were not intimidated, and the confidantes of the military leaders continued to follow the rhythm.

"I didn't give an explanation, why should I drive us away?"

"Are you guilty? Sure enough, you are not going to give us severance pay!"

"Brothers, you can't leave. Think about it, if you leave like this, will you still have a way out of the barracks?!"

"···"

As a result, most of the soldiers stayed again.

Most of them wait and see, but there are still several hundred out of 2000 people shouting, and the momentum is not small.

Seeing this, Xu You immediately became excited.

He still didn't want these people to leave - how did he get out of the breath he held before they really left?
So he immediately ordered his soldiers to rush over to arrest them.

You don't need to bring a rope, you can use it as a rope by untying the belts of the officers and soldiers in these places.

The soldiers are all brave, and their physical fitness has been raised quite well in the past two or three months. At this time, it is like a tiger entering a herd of sheep, chasing several dozen by one person.

Suddenly these local officers and soldiers changed from yelling to screaming.

Some people directly drew their swords to resist, but they were still no match for the soldiers - they couldn't even cut through their armor, how could they win?
The confidantes of the military leaders know that the ultimate goal of the military leaders is to force Li Dingguo and others to retreat, so the bigger the trouble, the better.

Seeing that the hundreds of soldiers led by Xu You are well-armored and as brave as tigers, while the thousands of people standing in front of the gate are all holding muskets, and they don't even have swords and shields or boring and raking hands to cooperate with them. The head confidant immediately had an idea.

"Don't get entangled with them, let's go directly to the barracks and ask Li Dingguo for an explanation!"

"Brothers, follow me, there are some firecrackers in front, they can't stop us!"

"Come on!"

"···"

Just like that, hundreds of local government troops rushed towards Tong Shuo's team under the leadership of several army chiefs and confidants.

Seeing this, Tong Shuo frowned slightly.

He knew very well that if these chaotic soldiers broke up his team today, his boss would be over, and he might even lose his head.

So, seeing those people rushed to the position of fifty paces (more than 70 meters), they decisively waved and shouted: "Three-stage strike!"

Hearing Tong Shuo's order, the first row of musketeers who stood at the front and had already been prepared immediately pulled the trigger.

Snapped!
A crisp sound.

In the white smoke, more than eighty lead pellets shot out.

The twenty or thirty rebels who rushed to the front immediately seemed to hit an invisible wall, splashed blood on their bodies, and fell backwards.

The people behind were stunned.

But he couldn't stop, and still rushed forward with inertia.

The second row of the musketeers at the first sentry also didn't stop, according to the daily training movements, they crossed the first row and pulled the trigger together.

Snapped!
Another crisp sound.

This time there were more chaotic soldiers in front, and four or fifty people fell down in one fell swoop!

When the third row of musketeers came forward, the mutinous soldiers rushing towards the gate finally came to their senses, screaming and stopping, turning around and running away.

But the musketeers in the third row still pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Snapped!
In the crisp sound, four or fifty people fell to the ground again.

At this moment, all the local officers and soldiers in front of the gate reacted, and fled to their respective barracks in a panic, crying and not daring to turn their heads.

The dozens of rebels captured by Xu You and others were also lying on the ground, either trembling, or looking at the corpses all over the ground in front of them, as if they had lost their souls, motionless.

It's not that these people have never seen corpses, some of them have seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But this is the first time they have seen such an efficient killing scene.

What's more, this was caused by the firecrackers who in their opinion had no independent combat capability at all.

For a while, no one wanted to believe it.

Even Xu You and others, who saw the flintlock gun in actual combat for the first time, couldn't help swallowing.

Xu You touched the fine cloth visor on his body, and then looked at the forest of muskets that had not been bayonetted over there. He felt that no matter how hard the fine cloth visor could give him a sense of security.

He shook the Yanling saber in his hand again, wondering whether he should find Li Dingguo and exchange this waist saber for a flintlock pistol...
"What!" Tan Hong looked at the confidant in front of him in surprise, and said in disbelief, "You said they not only did something, but also killed hundreds of you with just one shot of firecrackers?!"

Tan Hong's confidant is a clever person, so he escaped with his life before.

At this time, he looked shocked, and said: "General, there is no lie in the humble position - those people's blunderbuss can not only shoot sixty or seventy steps away, but also don't need a match.

They lined up in three rows at one whistle and fired three bursts of shots. The brothers in front all fell down before they even had time to react. "

Tan Wen next to him frowned and said, "This is a flintlock gun. I heard that it can be bought from the barbarians. One can buy several ordinary bird guns."

Tan Yi noticed something different, and his bear eyes lit up when he heard this, "The Chengdu court is so rich?!"

Tan Wen ignored Tan Yi, but said to Tan Hong: "Second brother, don't make trouble, let's just obey the order for training."

Tan Hong came back to his senses, and immediately retorted, "What are you talking about, brother, you will die if you surrender your troops."

Tan Wen frowned, "For no reason, the Chengdu court probably won't kill us."

"For no reason?" Tan Hong sneered, "Brother, did you look at the things we have done in the past few years? Which one is not a matter of losing your head?

In the past, the imperial court was incapable, but now that the imperial court is capable, it will take more time to find a reason to kill us. "

Tan Wen frowned even tighter, and sighed: "Hey, it's all my fault for not restraining you and the third child. In this way, tomorrow we will take the initiative to plead guilty to the Chengdu court, and maybe we can win a leniency."

Hearing this, Tan Yi was about to shout something, but was stopped by Tan Hong.

Tan Hong smiled miserably, and said, "Since big brother has decided, let's do it this way."

After speaking, he pulled Tan Yi out of the tent.

···
that night.

Tan Hong and Tan Yi, who had another secret discussion with Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and some inspectors, killed their elder brother Tan Wen.

Immediately, he planned to take thousands of Ding, Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and others to the north, and partnered with the Shaking Thirteen Family to jointly resist the official army from Chengdu.

Unbeknownst to them, both Tan Wen and Yao Yulin sent people to deliver the news to Li Dingguo and Ma Gan in advance.

Therefore, there was movement in the camp of these people, and Li Dingguo and others noticed it.

So before Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng, Tan Hong, Tan Yi and others left the camp, Li Dingguo and Yang Zhan blocked their way with elite border guards.

At this point in the matter, Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and Er Tan all knew that there was no way out, so they chose to break through.

It's a pity that the elite frontier guards on the opposite side finally hit their heads and broke their blood.

Tan Yi died in battle, Tan Hong committed suicide, Wang Xueshi, Hu Yunfeng and the six inspectors who followed the rebellion were all defeated and captured.

The rebellion they started was completely put down within half an hour.

 Thanks for the reward of 100 starting coins from [The Demon in Heart]!
