Chapter 218. Gambling
The shouts were shaking violently in the empty street market in Dengzhou, with dense footsteps crackling like raindrops, the man's fierce breathing, the violent burning of torches, and many sounds intertwined, and an unknown movement was played.
The Dongjiang Army Mutiny!
Nowadays, the city walls are changing with the king's flag, so I can't wait to see my friends become new ghosts! The Dengzhou Fuyuan is the same. From Sun Yuanhua to Wang Hua'an, to Mao Jue, to Yu Dacheng, now they are surrounded again. The stones outside are thrown in like raindrops, and the windows are crackling. Several personal soldiers at the door desperately stood against the gate, and some people are nervously standing on the wall.
In the hall, several people were sitting there in fear, and each sound seemed to hit the hearts of these big figures. In each town's fierce sound, they turned their heads to take a look. It is worth mentioning that many people here actually had exquisite four claws and two corners flying python dragons embroidered behind them. This is the famous Jinyiwei flying fish suit.
A big shackle was shackled on Yu Dacheng's neck. Although the Yu family didn't come, Yu Le'er was unlucky to be locked in the room. It is worth mentioning that Mao Jue, the leader of the Iron Righteous Soldier, was also trapped in it. He sat on the ground with a listless look, and there was a knife next to him. The knife was not commonly used by him. He caught some broken knife, embroidered with holes and eyes, and his armor was stabbed several holes.
A eunuch holding a whisk opened the window, and just glanced at it in a frightened manner. Then a round thing hit it hard, and it just hit the eunuch's arms. It seemed like it was hot. The eunuch threw the round thing away in horror. He threw his hands desperately on his chest, but he made the mucus all over his body. In the end, he simply took off his robe in a furious manner.
That round thing is actually a human head!
I ate a semen when I entered the city tonight. I was scared. The head that was piled at the gate of the city has made the eunuch still scared. Now I am still hit on my body. The eunuch turned his head and shouted sharply at Mao Jue.
"Deputy General Mao, you are the good soldiers! Is there any king's law in your eyes when besieging the imperial guards?"
"Oh my father-in-law, it would be great if they had a royal law in their eyes! These guys are all refugees from Liaodong, Mongolian Tartars, and even Jurchen barbarians. If you don't say anything about war, you can beat people just by saying it! Look, I'm going to fight them!"
He also rubbed the bruises at the corner of his mouth, and his face was bitter, and Mao Jue spread his hands sadly.
"Dadfather, I'm short of salary! The Dongjiang military salary has not arrived in January and July this year. Lord Yu led his army to fight with the White Lotus demon, promising to provide compensation for salary. And a demon's head is twenty taels of silver. These barbarians died and the sea were killed, and they cut off more than ten thousand heads and were waiting to receive the money! You have captured Lord Yu again. Tell me, can these barbarians not explode?"
With a few bangs, some heavy objects hit the wall, which scared several Jinyiwei to shrink their necks again. The eunuch sent the order to be frightened, and Yu Dacheng, who was shackled in the shackles, also held the words sadly.
"Mr. Mao, I can't do anything about it! The Shandong Treasury Silver is either robbed or spent on military expenses. I really can't afford to pay the remaining money. My daughter has been given to you. You can't go out and talk to the soldiers. Let the father-in-law take me away as soon as possible!"
"Mr. Yu, even if Ling Yuan is my concubine, they won't do it!"
"Deputy General Mao, how much is the military pay and reward?"
The two of them sang together, and the eunuch who heard the eunuch was sweating on his forehead and couldn't help but stomp his feet and ask again.
"Thirty-two thousand taels!"
Mao Jue gestured weakly, and the eunuch almost jumped up again.
"How many?"
"Thirty-two thousand taels!"
Pulling his fingers, Mao Jue settled the accounts: "In the battle of Weihai, 10,000 beheaded 10,000 taels, 220,000 taels of death, 200,000 taels of silver burned, but according to the previous rules, there must be 80,000 taels of Counterattack on Dengzhou and Qixia's bloody battle. The 320,000 taels are already the lowest, and this is not considered the military pay owed!"
It was impossible for him, a little eunuch, to solve the huge amount of 320,000 taels. His face turned green for a long time, and the eunuch simply started to cheat and grinned at Mao Jue.
"The family doesn't care about it, the emperor of the family is in charge. Now I must suppress Yu Dacheng! You go out immediately and drive away the soldiers to the family! Otherwise, I will take them together!!"
After saying this, Mao Jue's face seemed to be scared and subconsciously shrank backwards. But several Jinyiwei immediately rushed up, and Mao Jue swallowed heavily, and finally stood up helplessly with the knife.
"Father-in-law, then I'll try it?"
"Get out quickly!"
As if he was brave enough, Mao Jue trembled out of the house and pushed the Mao spear forward. He was still a little powerful. When he arrived at the door, he seemed to have been brave. He seemed to have been forced to do so. Suddenly, Mao Jue raised his hammer and smashed the door. With a bang, the noise at the door suddenly became quiet.
"Open the door, I will meet these gangsters when I go out!"
Swallowing, several personal soldiers followed Mao Jue carefully, but the door was closed again. While the eunuchs and Jinyiwei were watching nervously, Mao Jue swears, nothing more than the emperor's grace. When Yu Dacheng was in trouble, silver came, and the chaos outside seemed to be controlled little by little.
But just as the eunuch and the Jinyiwei were breathing a sigh of relief, the screams suddenly sounded. They watched a bloody arm thrown across the wall, followed by another sound of weapons colliding. Finally, the hair spear sprayed with blood fleeing back to the door in panic, plunged into the lobby, and shouted impatiently.
"Several father-in-law, go away! The camp is blowing up! The emperor can't hold him there for a while, and it will be too late if he doesn't leave!"
Seeing the door being squeezed open, the Dongjiang Army squeezed in like a zombie, and his courage disappeared in an instant. No matter whether it was the emperor or not, several Jinyiwei ran away. The eunuch glanced at Yu Dacheng, who was sitting on the ground, and gritted his teeth, and turned around and ran away. The imperial edict was thrown on the ground, and the hair spear was almost not following.
The feeling of falling in love was like a star in later generations. The overwhelming chaos was chasing behind them, and there were also stones and bricks behind them, just like escaping from the mobile game temple. A group of Jinyi Cavalry who captured Yu Dacheng ran away along Dengzhou Avenue, and did not dare to stop for a moment. After running for more than ten minutes, the South Gate City Gate finally opened with a hole. They were already running out. Fat spear resolutely blocked the back, and the city gate creaked and locked up again.
There was still a horse tied at the city gate, just like dreaming. More than a dozen emperors turned over and didn't dare to stay for a moment. They turned around and fled towards Dezhou.
However, a few minutes later, the Nancheng Gate Tower suddenly lit up again. Mao Jue, who should have been "heroic and executed", was "beaten to death" by Yu Dacheng, and Mao Liu, who "fighted to death", appeared on the city wall in a swagger like an actor.
While he was throwing his pig blood from his body, his hair spear was full of resentment and screaming sadly.
"Mr. Kong, you are so cruel! You are still rewarded by the master. You can't wash it when you go back!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang will definitely be able to give you a new look, haha, that eggless guy ran away, I'll be happy for us Mr. Jiang!"
Mao Jue didn't laugh much, Kong Youde almost laughed and said, and the generals with bad laughter didn't want to pay attention to him.
The only thing that was worried about here was Yu Dacheng, and the shackles were split open, looking down at the female wall, he muttered worriedly.
"General Mao, is this... this okay?"
"Don't worry, the Suzhou riots drove away Wei Zhongxian's cavalry, and it was not settled. The Dongjiang Army is the only unit in eastern Shandong. The newly quelled Shandong Rebellion will definitely not want to be in trouble again, and it will definitely be able to issue a pension!"
There was a look of confidence on his face, but in fact, Mao Jue was a little upset in his heart. After all, although the army began to become warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, Xiang Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu, Wu Sangui, Liu Liangzuo and so on, the court could hardly be transferred later. If Sun Chuanting hadn't killed He Renlong, the Qin army who had left the pass might not be able to get together. But that was when the world began to be in chaos in the seventh year of Chongzhen, and it was a little early now. Mao Jue was also upset in his heart whether he could threaten the court by mutiny.
This is a political gamble.
However, the warlordization of Dongjiang is now very clear. Even if he loses the bet, he will run back to Dongjiang with his army and throw Yu Dacheng here, and at most he will be dismissed. Moreover, it is not much different whether he is the deputy general or not, and the price is affordable, so Mao Jue gambles.
Moreover, the crying child had milk, but he was still unwilling to fight this battle to the court for nothing. The 320,000 taels of silver was also a blackmail price released.
It depends on whether the nobles of the court submit to the surrender!
Looking back at the sea, Mao Jue was praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
The Dongjiang Army's retreat was dragged back again!
…………
It was all time to seize the time. On July 15th, Yu Dacheng arrived in Dengzhou, and on July 22nd, the tiqi who captured him arrived. However, he came and went in disgrace. On August 8th, more than a dozen emperors rushed back to the capital in a mess, and then the morning court on August 9th became severe.
"The eyes cannot be seen, and the eyes cannot be seen!"
Several memorials were thrown to the ground hard, and Long Yan was furious. A pair of dark circles that could not be suppressed by powder showed a fierce light that was devoured by choosing a person.
"Your Majesty! The military discipline of Dongjiang soldiers is absent and scattered, and even rashly beat the chief general and expel the emperor's prisoner is simply a cancer of the country! Your Majesty, you really can't let it go. You should remove Dongjiang from the town and move the soldiers inside!"
There was another person who followed him back in a panic, who was the successor to Yu Dacheng's Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian.
The old guy was so blinding, 320,000 taels of silver? He had not opened yet in Shandong, so he had to feed Mao Jue first. His local snake Yu Dacheng couldn't afford 320,000 taels of silver. Where did he go to? And if these barbarians outside the pass could not get the silver, they would really rebel. This year, Ludi would not be able to find peace, and there would be no need to say that next year.
The militia army entered Shanxi, Yang He was imprisoned, and the Shanxi governor changed three times this year. Zhu Dadian didn't want to be the second one in Shandong, so he simply ran back. But after finally getting promoted, he escaped in shame. How could the old guy be able to withstand the anger? He kowtowed and blew upwards.
But his words made a person angry.
