Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh: riding alone to calm the chaos

The Zhaoqing Guard Army suddenly mutiny and fought with the local regiment training camp soldiers.

For a moment, there was a strife in the city, and chaos was everywhere, the sound of killings of the government troops, and the shouts of the people and pedestrians were mixed together, which was very chaotic.

It is obvious that after Qiu Kui, the general general of Chaozhou, was released, he did not obediently and honestly withdraw from Chaozhou. Instead, he brought the battalions to find a place.

The situation quickly changed in a direction that Qiu Kui and Tian Xing could not control. The troops of the garrison and the battalion fought each other. The battalion soldiers, who claimed to be selecting elite battalions from the garrison, were at a disadvantage and were gradually driven out of the military camp.

The soldiers of the garrison shouted and chased out of the military camp. After chasing for a few streets, they also scattered and began to loot shops along the streets, and even ordinary houses were affected.

When the first guard soldiers kicked open the wooden door of the house, more guard soldiers followed suit, and a chaos began without warning.

Fires were rising in the city, shouting to the sky.

At this moment, a team of more than 30,000 people, wearing armor, was parked neatly outside the city. Looking at the people who were constantly escaping from the city gate, Huang Degong said:

"Send people into the city to inquire, block the city gates everywhere, and the scattered soldiers can be killed when they leave the city."

Not long after, several soldiers from the Jiangnan camp who had entered the city to inquire about the news ran back. The bright armor just now was now stained with a lot of blood.

"You reported to the Governor, and found out that the chaos in the city was because the garrison was dissatisfied with the restructuring of the court, and the mutiny was actually a mutiny when he was seeking wages. He repelled the camp and soldiers, and was out of control."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general on the side looked worried and asked: "Governor General, should we lead troops into the city immediately to take over the situation?"

Huang Degong thought for a while and said:

"No, the garrison mutiny due to the demand for money and the collapse of the camps and soldiers, there are tens of thousands of people in chaos. If they are forced to jump over the wall, they will only cause casualties."

The deputy general respected the governor who was born in the personal army of the Emperor Yongweiying Camp and made great contributions to the Southwest War. He nodded and asked:

"What does the Governor mean?"

Huang Degong raised his hand, "Transfer my order and strictly control the four gates. No rioters are allowed to escape from the city. The Supervisor Camp and I enter the city!"

"Governor--!" The deputy general was shocked when he heard this and immediately stopped him: "Governor-General cannot. The military of the garrison mutiny. He has been planning for a long time, and it is just a pity to ask for money. Now he is entering the city, he is afraid of his life!"

"The mutiny just happened, and the guards were in chaos. First of all, they did not rob the civilian houses, but fought with the soldiers in Chaozhou. I think there was something else wrong with this." Huang Degong rode on the horse and frowned:

"Besides, mutiny has already occurred, and the most urgent task is to minimize the losses. Rampantly leading the troops in Jiangnan camp will inevitably make the rebels even more terrified."

"If they take risks and do more mischievous things, it will be even more difficult to deal with. I can't handle the job even if my Majesty."

"You guard the four gates. If I don't leave in half an hour, I will lead my troops into the city and use force to quell the rebellion. Before that, wait quietly for me."

"Catch wine!"

After saying this, Huang Degong drank a large jar of wine handed over by the deputy general and rushed into the city with more than a thousand cavalrymen from the Super League camp.

As soon as I entered Zhaoqing, what came to me was the scene of rioters chasing the people and smashing shops along the streets. I saw a woman in disarray about to be dragged into the alley by rioters and doing such a miserable thing.

Huang Degong waved the horse whip in his hand and shouted, "Can the rioters recognize this governor?"

The rioters were ignorant and loosened their hands. The woman quickly broke free and ran to Huang Degong Horse. Seeing that the people coming were all cavalrymen, wearing helmets and armor, the rioters were wondering.

"Who are you?"

"Huang Degong, the governor of Jiangnan Camp!" When he said this, Huang Degong glared at the tiger's eyes, and immediately scared the soldiers to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"It turns out that Governor Huang is here, the young man is guilty!"

"It's good to know the crime. In the next life, you must be at peace and follow the military rules!" Huang Degong stepped forward, raised his sword and moved forward with his horse:

"Go to the military camp, I want to meet Tian Xing!"

The cavalry went all the way to the military camp without any obstacles. The actions of the rioters along the way made them feel angry.

Seeing that the visitor was wearing the "yellow" flag, they were all cavalrymen, and most of the rioters could guess who they were, they were both surprised and happy.

What I am happy about is that the visitor was Huang Chuangzi, the governor of Jiangnan Camp.

What was shocked was that she was afraid that Huang Degong would come to settle the score with them this time.

The Chaozhou regiment outside the military camp was trained by Qiu Kui, and the Jieshi Guard commander Tian Xing, who heard that Zhaoqing had been surrounded by the Jiangnan camp, all of them were depressed.

But when they saw that only Huang Degong and his Supervisor camp came in, they had no intention of resisting.

The two of them were still dissatisfied with each other, but they still stepped forward together, clasped their fists and said, "The criminal general Tian Xing (Qiu Kui), pay homage to the Governor!"

Huang Degong walked past the two of them, snorted coldly, ignored it, went straight to the platform, looked around at the already silent military camp, and said:

"I came to Zhaoqing here to implement national laws and reform the illegitimate policies of the illegitimate institutions!"

"The court owes wages, but it is not because the court does not pay, but it is useless if it is paid!"

Hearing this, the soldiers began to whisper.

“Useless?”

"Why is it useless to pay a salary!"

Huang Degong raised his voice and even wanted to overshadow the voices of the rioters, "I will send a hundred thousand taels down, and I will deduct 60,000 taels along the way. When I arrive at the garrison, I will deduct another 30,000 taels."

"Distribute downwards, civil and military officials, exploiting them layer by layer, and the court actually paid 100,000 taels of silver. When you reach your hands, there may be only a few taels of silver left."

"What's the difference between paying this kind of military pay or not?"

The civil servants of Zhaoqing Prefecture who heard that Huang Degong had entered the city, so they showed up from the government office and were happy. As soon as they arrived, they heard such words.

Suddenly, everyone's expression was not good-looking.

The prefect's face stopped, and the idea of ​​trying to go up and praise also dissipated. The civil servants gathered together, and the discomfort on their faces was obvious.

Huang Degong now only remembers the secret decree sent by Zhu Youxiao, and he doesn't care about the eyes of anyone else, and said to himself:

"When I am so wise today, I will promote the reform of the garrison, and I will change this kind of bad policy! I will send all the money and food to you."

"Who are you unwilling to accept this? Those corrupt officials!"

"This time you are treated as gun envoys by those who have ulterior motives. If you can immediately put down your weapons and surrender, I can do nothing about it!"

"Do you know that after the restructuring of the garrison in Shaanxi, the military households will no longer be inherited, and all the money will be paid. Those who do not want to join the army have already returned home to farm."

"Do you want to oppose such a new policy?"

Huang Degong talked about the contents of the new policy one by one, which soon caused a sensation among the soldiers of the military guards and soldiers in the military camp.

Soon, the Dubiao Camp carried up one after another. Once it was opened, it was all paid for money from Jinling City, and it was all about to be paid.

After hearing these words, the soldiers were both surprised and happy when they saw Shengyin again.

As the first person threw down the waist knife in his hand, there were more "clang" sounds endless. After Huang Degong's words, he directly persuaded the tens of thousands of garrison troops and battalions who were mutinious in Chaozhou!

This scene made He Shijin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the dark, shocked.
