Beiyang new warlord

And that night, Mao Jue also ordered a big banquet for the generals to set up a running water table in the general's yamen.

Zhumen’s wine and meat stinks, and the road is frozen to death! This image really appeared in the world in Tieshan. Lanterns were hung from the yamen to the east gate. There were all kinds of delicacies at the banquet, including pheasants, toads, bears’ paws and deer. Whip these things that later generations can sit in prison for several years with a little touch. There are tables and plates. From the gate of the yamen to the second gate, there are lively sounds of drinking and fisting everywhere.

"Come on, give me all to drink, this time we won't go home until we're drunk!"

In the innermost part of the yamen, Mao Jue really turned his young face from God into an old man, with stubble protruding in a circle, and his face was obviously roughened by the wind of knives in the old forest these days. The old face flushed with excitement, knocking on the table frantically like going out to drink in the dormitory when he was in college.

A sycophant is everywhere, and now Su Changmei is playing such a role, Baozi's face is shining brightly, followed by shouting in a daze while holding a glass of wine.

"The general is huge! This demeanor, this elegance, even if the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are resurrected, they can't compare to our general, who are you?"

His tongue was so drunk that he couldn't articulate his words clearly. He didn't forget to slap this flatterer. However, the people who were at the table with Mao Jue didn't have the slightest appetite for drinking. Zhao Cheng, who was the most scheming, For a while, he held the wine glass and looked hesitant, Zhao Yong on the other end was still muttering something in a low voice, and Tian Tao on the other end was drinking mulled wine one after another. Even He Momo, who is usually the most sloppy with the wind, is standing at the end with a gloomy face this time, knocking on the bowl with chopsticks in hand.

It's the seventh day, and Mao Jue still has no intention of distributing military rations!

In previous years, that’s all. Most of Tieshan Town belonged to the army, even if the household registration is also the household of the guard. Although the situation of the army here is very different from that of the inland guards, the sergeant is not a single man who came out of the village and was slaughtered. Most of them, but most of the time, the military town is still self-sufficient. As long as Pi Dao allocates a little to deal with it when the spring is slack, the year will basically pass.

But this year's attack by the Tartars is significantly stronger than in previous years. Several military towns in the north are now without harvest. A while ago, Tian Tao even went so far as to directly turn against Zhao Cheng because of this. With this amount of food, they could either give it to Mudzuzi lavishly, or have fun on their own, and the military leaders couldn't sit still at all.

Unpleasant music creaked like sawing wood, and behind it, Su Yi was worried but did not dare to persuade him to pour a glass of wine. After three rounds of wine, Mao Jue was yelling that he didn't know what to say. When the topic was getting excited, the cold wine glass hit the ground with a bang, the music stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere on the wine table seemed to freeze. The eyes of several leading soldiers and generals flicked to Tian Tao.

As if he still didn't understand what was going on, Mao Jue, who was half drunk, stretched out his fingers and mocked with a big laugh.

"Old Tian, ​​thanks to the fact that you are still known as the number one fierce general of our Tieshan Mountain, you can't hold the wine glass if you drink so much, you can't use all your strength on the belly of the girls, right? Haha!"

This joke is cold enough, but normally, a group of generals would have to laugh too, but this time, except for the professional sycophant Su Changmei who laughed like a gourd, the other seven people on the table laughed out loud. Na Tian Tao stood up abruptly holding the table shaking, with a gloomy face, he hugged his fist fiercely towards the superior.

"General, the last general has no status, how dare I ask when the rations will be distributed?"

"Military rations?"

Listening to these two words is like listening to Jurassic dinosaurs. Mao Jue stood up while leaning on the chair in a seven-pointed drunkenness. , mumbling with a big tongue shaking his head.

"What military rations? Ben, I have checked the account book, this year's military pay and rations have already been distributed in the beginning of spring!"

"A few days ago, Shuai Mao sent twenty shipments of food from Phi Island. Could it be military food?"

This wall grass He Momo was also in a hurry, it was rare to be a vanguard, she slapped the table and suddenly stood up, staring at Mao Jue greedily with scarlet catfish eyes, shouting eagerly.

But this time Mao Jue was really angry, and he still didn't realize what the gang leaders meant, so he shook his head and said in a daze.

"Who do you have some food for? That's my father and I want pocket money. My father knows that I am used to being extravagant, and it is specially used for my family's support. Don't worry about it, come on! Let's continue to drink!"

While talking, Mao Jue raised his cup again, raised his head and poured it into his stomach, but this time, the seven big and small army leaders didn't even want to drink with him anymore, and the two brothers Zhao Yong and Zhao Cheng went down Head, the remaining five all looked at each other fiercely.

Mao Jue held a banquet this time, even the general Biaoying enjoyed some food, with a jug of cooked meat in his arms, the night watchman Biaoying didn't have the mood to work, so he just found a street and circled around, drinking and eating Flesh, also punching there.

This end was having a good time playing, but a soldier couldn't hold back his urine, so he hid in the alley next to him, untied his lifeblood, and poured water, and the monkey grandson hadn't finished releasing it after a visit here, and then the dark street on the street When the lights were turned on, he saw the dark shadows in the alley rushing towards him like ghost shadows, and he froze all of a sudden, and the soldier shouted at the top of his voice.

"Donkey balls, damn it, damn it!"

"Grandpa will kill you!"

Before the words fell, the black figure in front had already accelerated and rushed over. With a click, the knife pierced through the chest, and it was still clattering with a golden cudgel. Under the bleak light of the lantern, it was the mouse-bearded boss of the city gate guard a few days ago. Seeing blood made this desperado even more crazy, and he screamed ferociously while swinging the red knife.

"Brothers, go to that dog officer and ask for his salary. Anyone who dares to stop him will be fucked!"

The screams had already startled the inspecting standard battalion, but it was too late. Amidst the screams, an unknown number of people rushed out of the alley, along the main road of Tieshan City, rushing toward the general yamen.

Mutiny broke out!

Chapter 58. Laughing last is the best laugh

The social status of the Ming Dynasty was the lowest, and the most oppressed was the soldiers. The fields in the guards were occupied by military officers. They were soldiers in the era, and they were not allowed to move to the imperial examination. The thin land even bore more than half of the country's taxes. It is also normal to owe military salary for more than half a year, and the most miserable is the military household. This is the truest portrayal of this era.

However, the mutiny in the Ming Dynasty was not a joke. It was because of the cheap life that the hungry soldiers became ruthless. The general soldiers dared to fight to death. Not to mention, before Yuan Chonghuan took office a while ago, Ning Yuan broke out once. A large-scale mutiny, in order to pay arrears, this iron-blooded city that had just withstood Nurhachi Huang Taiji's army of more than [-] soldiers rushed into the shogunate like a tide, captured the general soldier Zhu Mei alive, and the governor Bi Zisu sent the two imperial courts The staff hangs up and pays.

Zhu Mei was beaten to death by hungry soldiers. Bi Zisu couldn't bear the humiliation, and finally committed suicide. Although the mutiny was finally suppressed by Yuan Chonghuan's coercion and deception, he lost two civil and military officials at once, which shows the power of the mutiny.

Tonight, Iron Mountain was also boiling like this. I don't know how many town soldiers were mobilized. Thousands of people rushed towards the general's office, shouting and screaming like a black tide that swallowed everything.

When he opened the bow, he didn't turn his head back. Hearing the din outside, Tian Tao also showed a fierce expression on his face. He slapped the table and roared again.

"Master General, it's only right and proper to serve as a soldier to eat food! Brothers have just fought a bloody battle with Jiannu, and you keep holding back a grain of military rations, and the last general has been out of food for two days. How do you let the brothers live?"

"General, if you do this, won't you be afraid of the chilling of the soldiers?"

Squeezing out sinister words from his teeth, this He Momo also stood up abruptly by the noise of swords and soldiers outside, humming sinisterly.

It seemed that they were really drunk, and the two of them had a quarrel with a few bosses, but lying on the table, under the contempt of several guys, Mao Jue took a while to get up, still in a daze , shaking his head with a smile.

"Without food for two days? Is Tian Guerrilla really short of food? How can I remember that in Xitun Mountain, there are a full [-] stones of grain and grass buried, and there are thousands of stones in Xifeng Mountain, and there seems to be behind Moon Valley, and Where is it from?"

Foaming at the mouth, Mao Jue scratched at his fingers, calculating in a daze, Tian Chou and He Momo's face turned livid for a few moments after hearing this.

Mao Jue didn't lie, he reported the places where they hid food, and even more or less. These guys occupy a lot of land like vampires, encircle the population, and fill their pockets. In fact, no one is poor!

Listening to Mao Jue patting and counting with his fingers, Su Changmei's old face full of fat on the table, inadvertently evoked a treacherous smile.

"What the general said, the general is not clear at all, but the ugly words of the general are here, there is no food, the general can't control the tigers and wolves under his command, the hungry soldiers will make a fuss, I really want to offend General, the last general has no choice!"

He became more and more fierce, his mouth was trembling, Tian Tao was like a dog about to bite, growling ferociously through the louder and louder noise.

It's a pity that Mao Jue seemed to be drunk and didn't understand these threats. He flicked his sleeves and sat back in his chair. Qing hummed.

"Tigers and wolves? Pigs and sheep are about the same. Don't worry about the generals. Whoever dares to stab him, I will clean him up for you. Come, keep drinking!"

The veins on his forehead were all gone, humming, Tian Tao also sat back down, and He Momo, who was next to him, still looked gloating, stood up and leaned to the side, but Zhao Cheng, a white-faced scholar, had sweat on his forehead. Suddenly, there were a lot more beads, and this flamboyant guy subconsciously looked outside. Wen Meng, Mao Jue's number one confidant, hadn't been seen since the banquet began. Liu Chong, whom he saw just now, Pang Pang Hai didn't know where he had gone at this time, but Shen Rong was still sitting on the counter with a smile on his face, not only him, but several generals and soldiers all tucked their hands into their sleeves.

I have heard before that General Mao Shen has a firearm that fires continuously. Everyone doesn't pay attention to firearms, so I just listened to it as an anecdote, but today everyone went to the banquet without wearing armor. Furious and spouting, Mao Jue gave an order, and more than half of the people present had to lie down.

He also participated in the mutiny of forcing wages, but now looking at the sneering Tian Tao and He Momo, and then looking at the drunk, and still feeding his general Mao Jue, Zhao Chengna felt like fifteen It's like a bucket fetching water, up and down.

A few people add up to more than 4000 troops, and this general is less than [-]. The previous standard battalion is still notoriously useless. Why is he so confident?

Mao Jue's confidence still came from the battle of Moon Valley. He had seen how bad his soldiers were.

At this time, the rebellious soldiers also rushed to less than 200 meters away from the general's yamen, but when a group of guys marched forward, a row of black shadows suddenly stood out under the red lanterns, and at the same time, on the streets on both sides, two people rumbled. The sound of the cannon exploded suddenly, and Hu's rebellious soldiers suddenly gathered their steps and stopped suddenly.

At the front of the line, holding the knife forward, Wen Meng was wrapped in a cotton armor and roared loudly like an iron tower.

"Gather a crowd to riot and attack the yamen. If you fail to rebel, retreat quickly and be responsible for all military punishments!"

"Don't listen to them, there are only more than 100 of them, and they are still holding fire sticks. Come on, brothers, overthrow them, rob the army's salary, and beat that donkey ball ginseng out of Iron Mountain!"

The unpleasant roar of the rat-bearded man echoed in the crowd, and he was not the only one, there were countless bewitching sounds, and these disorderly soldiers rushed forward again shouting.

Seeing this scene, the murderous intent in Wen Meng's snake eyes seemed to freeze, and he swung the knife violently without human emotion.
