Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 255
Fang Xiaobai dropped Wen Jinping's concubine, took out a flare gun from his bosom, and aimed an orange flare at the sky.

In less than a minute, Emperor Karl Franz broke into the door with two hundred imperial swordsmen, killing anyone they saw and setting them on fire.Gao Yang and Feng Yongwen followed closely behind the team by the faint light of the fire, trembling all over, whether it was fear or excitement.

The two held a short weapon similar to a Nepalese sword, and they took it away without hesitation when they encountered a fish that slipped through the net.

In the middle of the night, the sound of shouting and killing was particularly clear, and it was impossible not to disturb the government office.The people in Nanchang City woke up from their sleep one after another, and walked out of the house to look in the direction of Wen's residence.

Because of the fire, the weather was dry, and most of the mansion was made of wood, so the small fire soon turned into a big fire, and the whole Wen Mansion was ablaze from afar.

As the magistrate of Nanchang, Wen Guangshi is also a member of the Wen family, even though he does not live with them, it is absolutely impossible for him to let them go.

The last trump card of the Wen family in Nanchang City is the city defense army that has been in business for many years. They are not as good as the new imperial army, so they can still guard the city and suppress rebellion.

Wen Guangshi was a civil servant, but in private he was able to mobilize [-] soldiers under the command of Nanchang General He Song. In order to minimize the losses suffered by the Wen family, he wore only a short shirt, official seal and tokens that symbolized his status, and rushed to He rushed to He Song's residence and pulled He Song up from his concubine's bed.

"Oh, my Lord Wen, what are you doing so late?" He Song was very upset, but he couldn't show it. The Wen family is a cash cow. Even the new concubine on the bed was brought into the room by bribes from the Wen family.

Wen Guangshi didn't have time to talk to him, so he immediately ordered him arrogantly: "Wen Mansion is in trouble, Mr. He, please take your people to Wen Mansion to wipe out the culprits immediately."

"What? How dare a daring thief dare to act wildly in the land of Nanchang? Do you think I, He Song, are a clay bodhisattva? Please rest assured, Mr. Wen, even if I risk my life, I will guarantee the safety of the old man."

Any life-or-death thing that dares to touch his cash cow will have to scratch and cramp.From their point of view, the rioters in Wen's residence are just a small group of bandits and thieves, and it's another opportunity to make Wen's government owe them favors. Why not send troops to suppress it?

He Song quickly put on his clothes and trousers, picked up the saber hanging on the wall, confessed to Wen Guangshi, rode on the tall horse tied in the yard, and rushed to the military camp by the Gan River.

Nanchang’s city defense army belonged to the old Ming army. The weapons and equipment were not properly maintained, the army was lax in training, and the quality of the soldiers was uneven.

When He Song rushed to the barracks, the lights in the camp were brightly lit, and there was such a commotion in the Wen mansion that no one could fall asleep. They had nothing to do, and gathered together in small groups, pointing fingers at the temperature.

"What are you looking for? No one reported such a big event in the city, and Mr. Wen had to go there in person, trash! You trash!"

Seeing that his soldiers were watching the fun, He Song was so angry that he whipped the soldiers who were close to him with his horse, causing everyone to scream.

This can't be blamed on them. After all, in the last years of Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng attacked BJ, almost everyone in Ming Dynasty held a disregarded attitude of watching Daming's subjugation. Everyone only considered their own interests, as for others?Hehe, feel sorry for them mentally.

He Song didn't know how many times he would swing the whip, and he didn't know how many people he had beaten. He finally stopped when he felt the pain in his arms, and pretended to be fierce and said: "It takes a thousand days to use a soldier for a while, you trash, I've raised you for so long, it's time to repay my favor! This morning the Wen family was in trouble, and I'm going to take you to quell the chaos. If anyone dares to run away? I recognize you, but I don't recognize the steel knife in my hand!"

The typical example is that they are not allowed to eat grass and have to be milked. The soldiers dare not speak out.To achieve the position of chief soldier, He Song's face is not ordinary thick, if Zhuge Wuhou was alive, he probably wouldn't be able to scold him for vomiting blood.

He Song had a team of servants, all of them tall and thick, with thick backs, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, and holding steel knives in their hands. He couldn't help but force the soldiers to take up weapons and equipment and rush towards Wenfu.

He Song stood aside, watching with cold eyes. In his eyes, Qiu Ba in the barracks was a bunch of cannon fodder, which was of no use except to waste his food.

Although he stays away from the battlefield all the year round, He Song also has a certain degree of military accomplishment. She can tell that there are at least [-] thieves who attacked Wen's mansion with the soaring flames and the loud shouts of killing. Servant, it is not easy to train a servant, let the cannon fodder rush to reduce casualties first.

The two thousand officers and soldiers in the barracks did not dare to be negligent. Driven by whips and knives, they had to swarm into the streets in a panic, and hurried on their way with their heads bowed under the watchful eyes of the people on both sides of the street.

Fortunately, the military camp was not far from the Wen Mansion, and it took the chaotic officers and soldiers 10 minutes to get there. The gate of the Wen Mansion was open, and through the gate, the corpses lying on the ground inside were burning in the fire.

There was a smell of barbecue in the air, and if everyone knew that the smell came from the corpse, a few frail people would vomit on the spot.The officers and soldiers didn't know what to do, and looked at the hell on earth in front of them one by one, but hesitated for a while.

He Song clearly knew that at this time, he had to get some rewards to stimulate the officers and soldiers who had never seen the world. He took out five taels of silver from the pocket hanging on the horse belt, and said passionately: "Kill an enemy, and you will be rewarded five taels of silver." Two! Capture the bandit leader alive! Reward ten taels of silver!"

You must know that ten taels of silver in the late Ming Dynasty was the monthly salary of the elite of the Ming army. With ten taels of silver, you can eat and drink for several months, and even change into new clothes and marry a wife.

The goal of killing the bandit leader is too far away from them. If there is still a chance to kill the bandit, the big deal is that the brothers around him will cooperate and share the reward equally. One tael of silver is enough to buy a pot of old wine!
The officers and soldiers did not know that there was a city of Altdorf in Nanzhili, which was separated from them by a province. The residents’ committee in the city hired refugees from outside and gave each person ten taels of silver per month. The garrison in the city received 50 taels of silver every month. If they knew, they would probably scold He Song for being stingy.

The officers and soldiers' eyes were red as if they had been spat with chicken blood, and the bloodshot was clearly visible. Someone decided that more people should get together to bargain and discuss the allocation of silver in advance.

No one saw that the corners of He Song's mouth were raised slightly, obviously mocking them: "Hmph! Don't look in the mirror, just look at how much money you have. Is my money so easy to earn? Hehe. See if you have any Life flower."

He Song raised his saber, ordered the water dragon to extinguish the fire, and at the same time lured the officers and soldiers who saw the money eyes to rush into Wen's mansion.

In the first wave, there were 500 officers and soldiers and 20 servants. As for why the servants were added, it was largely to supervise the battle of the officers and troops and to scout the internal situation by the way.

　It seems that the support of big brothers Vadali, your support is my greatest encouragement!
