Ten days have passed since the rebellion in Anhua City, but the air is still filled with a strong smell of blood.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have any military discipline to control them. People pretending to be thieves and looting places often happened. Local officials mostly turned a blind eye, as long as they did not cause trouble. If it goes too far, they usually ignore it.
What's more, under the current situation, rebellion is a job that can be done at any time. There is no tomorrow, so who cares so much.
But Zhou Ang was still alert. He knew that Anhua City was the capital of Jingnan in the future and was the foundation. It must not be damaged too seriously. It would be relied on to resist the imperial army in the future! Therefore, he asked the generals below to restrain their soldiers and never allow burning, killing and looting to occur, otherwise they would be punished by the Israeli army.
At first, the situation was under control. The residents in Anhua City did not feel too much. Whoever becomes the emperor is different. What does it have to do with the common people? The officers opened the treasury according to Zhou Ang's request, released the prisoners, and then Weapons were distributed to arm these prisoners, and at the same time, they began to capture strong men in the city and recruit some scoundrels to join the army. However, the problem appeared with these 'new recruits'.
These recruits are not religious men and women. They are the most unstable factors in society. Now their identity has not only changed to "officers and soldiers", but they also have swords and guns in their hands, and they have knife handles in their hands, so they will naturally be more courageous. Of course, these people do not have any local concepts in their minds. Even if they do, they have been worn away by so many years of prison life. They only have a deep hatred for society, and they are even less polite when they start.
The matter is not complicated. There is an official in Anhua City who has become an official at home. The official has an old mother. She is a truly compassionate old man. She usually eats fast, believes in Buddhism, and is devoted to good deeds. One day, the Buddha entrusted her with a dream and said to her, "Her." Without enough good karma, he would not be able to go to the bliss of the Western Heaven after his death. After the old man woke up, he told her son this dream.
Her son was also a benevolent and filial man. He couldn't bear to see his mother in such a hurry, so he came up with an idea to gather some helpless girls near Anhua City to do some sewing and other work for the family or the neighbors. , when those women grow up, find a decent man to marry them.
This was truly an act of kindness by countless living people. The old lady naturally agreed wholeheartedly. The official also had no shortage of money. He rented a large courtyard alone and opened a charity hall to arrange for the girls. This prevented anyone from gossiping and the local gentry in Anhua also I heard about the old lady's dream. The ancients valued this very much, not to mention doing good deeds, and future generations would benefit from it. Therefore, they often made donations on weekdays, and many literati wrote articles praising her.
but. . . On the second day of the rebellion in Anhua City, a group of newly recruited soldiers rushed into the charity hall at night. Piercing screams immediately rang out. A girl with torn clothes ran out of the charity hall crying and shouted, just in front of her. He ran into a soldier on patrol at night.
The soldiers thought something had happened, so they quickly drew their swords and guns and surrounded the shrine. Not long after, a few recruits with their trousers ran out. Seeing people surrounding the place, they smiled nonchalantly, "Brothers are in prison." I¡¯ve been holding in my anger for a long time, now it¡¯s time to let it out!¡±
A recruit smiled lewdly and pulled out a naked woman from the charity hall. The woman was crying loudly and struggling there. "If you're jealous, let's go in and have a good time. There are a lot of girls inside!"
The eyes of the soldiers were like wolves, staring at the woman. They could not move away even an inch. They were swallowing hard. Rebellion was a very stressful thing. If there was no stimulation, military law would not be enough. They could control it, but when they saw the current scene and listened to the moans of the woman inside, their faces turned red and their breathing suddenly became rapid.
The recruit smiled slightly and pushed the woman toward the soldiers who were watching the night. "Why are you so polite? There are many wealthy families in Anhua City, and those women are even more soft-hearted. I will try it with my brother later!" Besides, they still have a lot of gold and silver at home. Since they have rebelled, what else do they care about?!"
After hearing this, the soldiers on night watch began to become a little commotion.
When the woman who ran out first saw this situation, she stayed behind with tears streaming down her face. She turned around and ran away. Before she could take two steps, a recruit rushed forward and slashed at the woman with a knife. . .
As soon as the bloody smell emerged, the soldiers were completely out of control, and Anhua City began to burn, kill and loot.
The soldiers were like this, but the officers below Zhou Ang had no intention of restraining or restricting them. In fact, they had already had resentment towards Zhou Ang in their hearts, so they took this opportunity to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the soldiers below had already found some beauty. A good young girl gave it to them, and promised them that the gold and silver looted in the city must be from him.?The share of these generals.
After receiving this answer, the generals assigned personnel to guard the city gates to prevent people from entering and exiting, so that the soldiers could loot. In the blink of an eye, the entire Anhua City turned into a hell on earth. To be precise, half of Anhua City became a hell on earth. In Huacheng, those soldiers who were red-eyed with blood were not yet dizzy. At least they knew that the palace could not be robbed.
Through the gate of the palace, you can clearly see the terrified civilians, men and women running past the door. Either they were hacked to death by the soldiers who caught up behind them, or they were directly knocked down and did what the beasts did. The air was filled with blood. The anger is getting stronger and stronger.
Those prisoners who came out of the prisons generally had abnormal mental states. They inflicted what they saw and suffered in the prisons on ordinary people in an intensified manner on civilians, and their methods were extremely cruel.
?The initial killing was due to resistance, but later it became completely for fun.
Ancient Chinese people had the habit of hiding gold. People with a little wealth would bury their gold and silver treasures underground and hide them. The soldiers broke into the houses of wealthy families and searched them. They found that they were all large objects that could not be taken away, so they began to torture them. To find out the whereabouts of people's property, for the sake of convenience, people are usually put directly on the fire to roast. Those people really can't stand it anymore, but even if the location of the hiding place of the family property is revealed, they are not released, and they are just alive. Roast to death. Some obese people often die with grease all over the place, which is extremely disgusting and tragic. . .
They raped their wives and daughters in front of their husbands and fathers, and then killed the raped women and their families. Have fun watching their expressions of pain. . .
Pour cold water on a naked person, wait until the person is frozen into ice, and then chop the person to pieces with a sledgehammer. . .
Groups of corpses were thrown directly from the city wall to the outside. Those soldiers didn't care about the number of corpses. They were responsible for killing but not burying them. Besides, in this weather, it would take some time for the corpses to rot and spread the disease. . .
When Zhou Ang rushed back to Anhua City on the third day, nearly 30% of the residents in the city were dead. After the rebellion, he felt that he was lacking in strength, so he took his people to various states and counties to seize livestock, horses, military rations, or win over some The generals rebelled together to increase their power.
But as soon as he came back, he saw such a tragic situation in Anhua City. He was furious. He immediately sent people to suppress it and issued an order to seal the sword. At the same time, he called all his trusted officers and asked him sternly.
"How is this going?!"
The generals stood there with blank expressions, and no one answered him.
"I said the day before yesterday that burning, killing, and looting are not allowed in Anhua City. You did such a thing as soon as I left you. Are you treating my military order as child's play?"
The generals bowed their heads one after another and remained silent.
Zhou Ang glanced at it and touched the handle of the knife at his waist, "You have been with me for so long, don't you know what happens if you violate military law?"
Listening to Zhou Ang's gloomy tone, the generals now felt a little regretful, but the law does not blame everyone, and at this time, Zhou Ang would not do anything to them.
"Come here! Take the ten people who caused the most trouble and chop them off! Hang their heads at the city gate for everyone to take a good look at!"
There were Zhou Ang's soldiers outside who shouted back, "Yes, general!"
ah? The generals looked at each other in disbelief. A bolder general hurriedly shouted "Wait a minute!" Then he turned to Zhou Ang and said.
"General, please think twice! We are short of manpower."
"What? You don't accept it?"
"The general will not dare, but"
"Just what?"
The general lowered his head and said in a low voice, "General, we are all like this. We still need to be restrained by military laws. Let's do it as we please."
"What did you say?!" Zhou Ang grabbed the general by the collar and lifted him up like a chicken. The general nodded his toes and did not dare to struggle, "General, general, listen to what I am saying, The son-in-law below has a grudge in his heart. This business we are doing will destroy his family and his family. If we don¡¯t have some gold and silver to comfort us, who will be willing to work hard for us!"
After hearing this, all the generals also said, "Yes, General, rebellion also requires money. If we don't plunder, how can we have the money to recruit soldiers and horses? To pay the soldiers below?"
"That's it General, these soldiers are people who have been with you through life and death. They have all seen blood. They are the foundation. With them here, we can pull up tens of thousands of troops wherever we go!"
"You" Zhou Ang slowly let go of the general. They were all a group of stupid and short-sighted people. He really didn't know how to explain his thoughts to these big bosses.
"General, we are not afraid of death, but before you die, why don't you let meBrothers, have a good time! "
Zhou Ang sat dejectedly on the chair, raised his eyes to look at the generals, and suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, he bent over and couldn't stop crying. He was now exhausted mentally and physically, and wanted to fall asleep. He had already I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights, and my eyes are full of tiny bloodshot eyes. However, the rightful owner, King Anhua, is hiding in the palace and paying no attention to this matter, as if the rebellion is only a matter for him and Zhou Ang. Now he The same was true for his confidants. His heart sank little by little. This rebellion was really a joke.
Looking at Zhou Ang's appearance, all the generals were more than a little doubtful: "General, what are you"
"Hahaha It's up to you, it's up to you. I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, someone will probably come to chop off my head, hahaha" Zhou said. Ang walked out laughing.
