Schoolyard.

"Do you guys want to rebel?"

Zou Renchang, deputy commander of the Eighth Brigade and commander of the heavy artillery battalion, carried a short gun and a few officers who were originally drinking, rushed out of the lobby next to the school grounds and shouted.

He is also from Macheng.

He is also a family member of Macheng.

The first imperial examination in Huguang in the Ming Dynasty was Huangzhou Prefecture...

Huanggang students were already well-known during the Ming Dynasty. Macheng and Huanggang were all imperial lifting places that could compete with Suchang counties.

Especially in Macheng, a county's imperial examination strength beats 80% of the world's prefecture.

The composition of the Dingsheng Army is that the sons of aristocratic families bring technical troops to form permanent brigade troops, namely artillery, cavalry, engineers, etc., but the infantry battalions that mainly fight are formed by each county, and the children of local gentry and their clans may also have more than one clan. The rich county can even form more than one battalion, and the poor county may have to form a battalion together.

Provide your own military pay.

The court was only responsible for the military pay for the brigade-level troops and the military-level troops.

Of course, logistics supply such as ammunition is uniformly provided.

During the war, Xiong Tingbi dispatched different numbers of battalions to the brigade command according to the different combat tasks, and then the brigade commander could bring these infantry to battle.

This military system does ensure the purity of the Dingsheng Army to the greatest extent and saves money, especially for the Hongguang Dynasty, which has weak tax capacity. This method of patching together similar to the US mainland army is undoubtedly perfect for the weak court. The only problem is that this makes the court even weaker, but neither Xiong Tingbi nor Zou Yuanbiao cares about this issue. This was originally the purpose of everyone's tacit understanding, so there is no need to understand it too much.

But the technical army must be composed of real veterans after all.

This is different from those infantry cannon fodder.

All infantry cannon fodder needs is to shoot and charge with a bayonet, and some grenades throw grenades. As for the field cannons of the battalion, they actually don’t need any technology. What technology does a small cannon with a actual range similar to that of the turtledove gun require? As long as they can shoot directly at the target, they are essentially just an oversized shotgun.

But heavy artillery can't do it.

This thing can only be played by veterans.

With the angry shout from Battalion Commander Zou, Zhang Pu, who rushed toward him with soldiers, raised his hand and shot him. The unlucky Battalion Commander Zou fell down...

"Kill these dog officials!"

Zhang Pu shouted.

The bird guns in the soldiers spewed out flames.

The officers, like their deputy commander, fell down screaming in the sound of gunfire.

The soldiers who had no guns rushed up and picked up the flintlock gun on their bodies. Zhang Pu himself replaced the rotor fire gun with a flintlock gun.

However, there are many officers in the lobby. This lobby is their battalion, especially these officers are carrying their personal soldiers. When they saw the mutiny behind Zou Renchang, they immediately ran back and blocked the door with tables and chairs, and then shot out from the back and window. Zhang Pu and his soldiers were shooting at them, but the firepower could not suppress the opposite side. After all, they were actually artillery soldiers, and they were heavy artillery soldiers. Only some soldiers were equipped with bird guns, while these officers and personal soldiers were flintlock short guns.

Of course, they don't need bird guns...

"Does go, do them!"

They roared behind them.

All the soldiers quickly dodged and then they pushed out a cannon behind them.

A scream of horror immediately sounded in the lobby, and then the officers and their soldiers rushed out desperately.

Another gang leader next to the cannon, with a honest smile, put the fuse of the ignition rod directly into the ignition hole behind...

"boom!"

Muzzle flame thrust.

The seven-pound or nine-pound cannon sprayed out 140 shotguns in an instant.

The next moment, I can’t see a standing person in front of the lobby.

"Look, you can do it, this is a cannon!"

The group smiled proudly.

Then the soldiers without muskets rushed forward and quickly divided the equipment of the dead bodies.

At this moment, more soldiers arrived, and gunfire was constantly sounding in other places in the barracks. It was obvious that the uprising soldiers were still cleaning up the officers. The barracks were quite large, after all, nearly 600 people were stationed, and their equipment and supplies were stored. However, the battle did not last long. Soon the troopers arrived with their subordinates and brothers, pushing a seven-jin cannon and field cannon. Their heavy artillery battalion consisted of two seven-jin heavy artillery posts, each with eight seven-jin cannons, and there was also a field cannon, which was also eight field cannons, which were mainly close to the position.

There is also an infantry sentry guard.

Now most of these soldiers and their cannons gather in the schoolyard in front of the lobby.

"Brothers, do you all know the news that the Prime Minister has arrived in Wuchang?"

Zhang Pu stood on the stage and shouted.

"Know!"

"Know!"

...

All the soldiers were shouting.

Whether it is the low-level officers, it can be said that 80% of these soldiers were released back then.

Yang Feng captured more than 100,000 troops at one time, and Xiong Tingbi could not avoid this situation. Besides, he never thought about this problem at all.

What these people have been looking forward to over the years is Marshal Yang’s expedition to the West.

Otherwise, Zhang Pu would respond to all kinds of things. There was no need to prepare in advance. He just shouted and let them know. There was no need to mobilize the rest. They would join themselves. Anyone who had been educated on the last Yingtian trip would understand where they should stand.

"Since that's the case, then let's not talk nonsense. The time for the uprising has come. After waiting for so many years, we finally waited for it. We don't need to bother the Prime Minister. We take down Wuchang and fight out, kill all the dog officials and local tyrants and evil gentry, kill all the harming insects, and follow the Prime Minister and let us fight again to a bright world.

Kill, kill, kill!"

Zhang Pu raised his arms and shouted.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Get out a bright world!"

...

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

At the same time, a team leader took out a piece of red cloth, and then they tied it to the flagpole. Zhang Pu took over the obviously too simple flag and waved it on his head...

"Let's go, push the cannon, get the bird guns, and let's attack the governor's yamen!"

He yelled.

Then he just carried the flag and jumped off the platform.

The soldiers separated to the sides. He held the flag high and walked towards the gate of the barracks. The soldiers behind him pushed cannons and carried ammunition trucks. Under the protection of the musketeers of the guards, they followed Zhang Pu out of the barracks. Their barracks were actually the guards of the King of Chu, next to them was the original Wuchang Left Guard and the garrison of an infantry battalion. The battle in the barracks had already alarmed the outside. When they went out, the battalion had arrived.

Then……

"fire!"

Looking at the infantry rushing towards this side, Zhang Pu inserted the flag in his hand to the ground, stood in front and shouted.

A cannon that had come out behind him was set up on the spot. The soldiers in front of him who blocked the shooting world quickly made way out. One by one, the muzzles were directly spraying flames at the infantry in the terrified eyes of the opposite side, and dense shotguns swept across the infantry like a storm. On such streets, cannons and shotguns are really invincible, and no infantry cavalry is useful. Not to mention the volley of multiple cannons, even a cannon and shotgun can easily lock the streets.

A small shotgun with a seven-jin cannon can be loaded with 141 at a time.

Just now, the streets are in normal width, and the entire front is knocked down in one shot.

On the other side of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, the infantry fled in horror...

At this time, Mei Zhihuan was whipping his war horses like crazy and ran towards his brigade on the street. His brigade was actually in the previous General's Mansion, not far from the military camp of the heavy artillery camp. He just walked westward from the street in front of the gate and then turned north.

But the Governor's Office is in the north of the city!

There is half a Wuchang City in the middle!

"Does go, do it!"

Brigade Chief Mei yelled anxiously.

The personal soldiers in front of him were also running and kept firing guns, urging the people blocking the road to get out of the way.

The sound of cannons in the distance was already very clear. Even if I didn't know what was going on, Mei Zhihuan knew very well that it must be that his subordinates had a mutiny.

He can also guess why the mutiny was in conflict with his mind.

The downstream Wuchang city rebelled, and there was rumors that Yang Feng arrived in Wuchang...

This is a rumor. He knew very well that Yang Feng could not go to Wuchang. Xiong Tingbi was very close to Yang Feng's whereabouts. At this time, Yang Feng should be in Xuzhou to guide the construction of the Yellow River. Not only the Red Turban Army built the Yellow River, but he also forced Fang Congzhe to mobilize manpower in Henan to build the upstream section. This kind of thing is also a good thing for Henan gentry, so Fang Congzhe had to succumb to his power and also build the Yellow River in Kaifeng and Guide sections. Yang Feng is personally in charge to ensure the safety of the Yellow River next year.

He couldn't run to Wuchang again.

Moreover, he would not be able to fight the west at this time. Everything has been agreed upon, so he is just waiting for the alliance next year. What a big deal he will fight the west at this time!

Is it unnecessary?

So this matter is a total rumor.

However, just a rumor made the unruly people and soldiers act without hesitation.

Mei Zhihuan really felt a sense of despair at this moment.

To resist this demon-like man, they can say they have done their best.

He, a genuine scholar, abandoned his civil and military affairs, and they tried their best to build a powerful army. Their Dingsheng Army was not without war. The chieftains in Huguang were constantly rebelling, but the chieftains who had been disturbed in the southwest in the past had now easily suppressed them when they drove a brigade, and there were very few casualties. Therefore, even those generals admitted that the winning army was not inferior to the elites of the nine sides.

In order to maintain this legion, they also established a prosperous industry and commerce.

Unprecedented prosperity.

In the past, Huguang, which could only sell grain for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is now even more developed than Susong in the past.

The annual output of iron is 50 million kilograms, and Jiangxi has more than 10 million kilograms. Because the output is too large, the ironware is cheap, and the folk agricultural tools have basically been replaced with iron.

The wooden plow disappeared.

But they have all achieved this, why can't they stand against a rumor?

They also recognized Yang Fengzhen.

But it's clear that this is a rumor!
Chapter completed!
