In fact, Huang Maoguan still has a chance to die, but someone found out from Huang Maoguan’s public room that he was writing. Although most of the soldiers were illiterate, some people also recognized some of them.
The soldier who recognized the words looked at the memorial, and even Meng guessed, he quickly learned the content of the memorial. He was immediately angry and scolded Huang Maoguan, a dog official, for not being a good person.
In the memorial, Huang Maoguan might have wanted to take revenge on Zhenwuying, but he actually submitted a memorial request to remove the grain of his wife and young people. That is, regardless of whether the soldiers have family or not, the soldiers will pay the grain and pay the food at six dou per month.
After the news came, the soldiers surrounding Huang Maoguan immediately took the initiative to kill him, ignoring Huang Maoguan's begging for mercy and beating Huang Maoguan to death.
Even so, the soldiers felt unsatisfied and dragged Huang Maoguan's body to parade in the streets.
Such a move was naturally seen by spies sent from various families in Nanjing. When they saw Huang Maoguan's corpse clearly, they were shocked. No one expected that these soldiers would actually kill the third-rank official of the court and show their naked bodies to the public.
However, Wei Guangde had not received any news at this moment, and he still stopped the horse and blocked the way forward of the soldiers in Zhenwu Camp.
His loud shout just now was naturally heard by the soldiers opposite him, and the soldiers in front were all shocked.
If you are not afraid of it, you are excited before and forget what they are doing. Now when the official opposite is reminded, all the soldiers have reacted. They just did the killing of officials and rebelling. They had previously threatened and coerced Duke of Wei Xu Pengju and Secretary of War Zhang Yang in the yard of the Ministry of Revenue Office.
The soldiers in front were frightened and couldn't help but stop, but the soldiers behind did not hear Wei Guangde's shouting, but the people in front stopped and they were naturally blocked behind.
What Wei Guangde said was quickly passed backwards through the mouths of the soldiers in front, and the leaders behind quickly learned what was happening ahead. In fact, some of them realized the danger at this time. What they did was out of control after Huang Maoguan was beaten to death.
But at this time, they had no choice. After all, they were just a soldier and could not think of a solution for a while.
So while they assigned two people to go back to the military camp to find their Shangguan, they dispersed their hands to greet the soldiers in Zhenwu camp and tried their best to control the situation.
They just got the news that after they learned that the rebels had killed Huang Maoguan, the generals who returned to the barracks had collectively fled from the barracks and disappeared.
Obviously, they were unwilling and dared to contact them. Their current identity of the riots was confirmed in the eyes of these generals. Next, they were waiting for the imperial army to arrive and then destroyed.
Now a few people here discussed together for a while and then ran to the front, and the soldiers consciously gave in.
Wei Guangde was nervous at this time, worried that the soldiers would rush up to catch him, so he would act as a hostage to negotiate with the court, so he was always on guard and ready to run away at any time. This was also the reason why he did not allow others to follow him. They were not as fast as him.
Wei Guangde, who had been on the battlefield, exuded his own self-deprecating aura at this moment, hoping to suppress the gang of soldiers, although he didn't know if he had that murderous aura.
Suddenly, Wei Guangde saw a commotion in the crowd opposite, then separated from each other and walked out a few soldiers wearing ordinary Ming army battle jackets. His brows frowned slightly, and then quickly stretched out. He had already guessed who was opposite.
The few people came forward without saying anything, but just clasped their fists to Wei Guangde and said, "Sir, we are not only deducted military pay by the dog official named Huang, but also wantonly owed military pay. We are all people who want to support our family. Today, we really cannot do this bad thing. I hope you will forgive me."
Xu Sheng had already said before that it seemed that Huang Maoguan was beaten to death by the rebels. At this time, Wei Guangde wanted to ask clearly, so he spoke, "Where is Lord Huang?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the faces of the people on the other side changed slightly. One of the people with a slightly more honest face said: "Mr. Huang fell and injured his leg when he climbed over the wall, and later, later."
As he spoke, Wei Guangde found that the faces of those people were getting ugly. He knew that Huang Maoguan had been beaten to death by them. This matter was difficult to deal with, and it was also a problem to escape in front of him.
However, Wei Guangde's eyes rolled, and then he continued loudly without waiting for the loyal soldier to say the details: "I know. Lord Huang accidentally fell to death when he climbed over the wall. This naturally has nothing to do with you. You can go back to the military camp quickly. When the court's orders, you will be allowed to go to the streets to cause trouble."
Unexpectedly, the dog officials on the opposite side were stunned when they spoke like this, but then they were all ecstatic.
Finally found a solution. This was what the officials in the court said. They used it as an excuse to hide it from this festival, although everyone knew it was a trick to fool people.
“Yes, yes.”
“What the adults said is.”
After a while of echoing, one of them said, "Please ask Lord Wei to make the decision for us. We will return to the military camp and wait for news. Please be sure to report to Shangguan that if we can't get our military pay, our family will starve to death."
Before speaking, this man had already communicated with several other people with his eyes, but it was not considered that he agreed without authorization.
Although they had threatened Xu Pengju and Zhang Liang in the office of the Ministry of Revenue to compensate them with 100,000 taels of silver for the Zhenwu Camp, that was before Huang Maoguan was killed.
When they heard that Huang Maoguan was beaten to death by the dog who didn't know, they hurried to the scene and said that it was too late.
Xu Pengju and Zhang Liang also took the opportunity to run away from the office and would run away with Li Tingzhu, who had just arrived at the small school grounds.
And after hearing this, he and others were anxious to gather their troops to avoid the Zhenwu Camp from getting separated and causing a bigger problem. At the same time, they sent people to chase Xu Pengju and others, wanting to take them as hostages, so this encounter happened.
Unexpectedly, Lord Wei Guangde on the opposite side found a reason for them. Well, what he said was right. Huang Maoguan died of falling to death by himself, and it had nothing to do with them.
They just found Huang Maoguan's body and punched him a few times. They wanted to vent their anger. They just wanted to find Huang Maoguan to argue about the arrears of military pay, and did not want to cause such a misunderstanding.
After saying a few more words, amid the shouts of several military leaders, the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp turned around and slowly retreated and returned to their military camp.
Wei Guangde only breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and this level was over.
And on several streets near the small school grounds, something similar to Wei Guangde was happening at this time.
The master of Chengyi Liu Shiyan also received a note from Huang Maoguan’s request for help. After all, Liu Shiyan, like Xu Pengju and Li Tingzhu, is one of the few commanders in Nanjing with military power. For the soldiers, they are naturally a little afraid of such people and know that they must obey orders.
Facing the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp coming from the street opposite, they reacted a little slower, and Liu Shiyan's team was soon blocked. At this time, it was too late to turn around and escape.
Liu Shiyan is worthy of being the general who leads the troops. He is not panicked when he sees such a scene. Although there are soldiers wearing armor on the opposite side, the dozens of guards on his side are not bad, and the equipment is even better. So when he comes to the front, he shouts, "You will fight back, and kill me if you fight back. The army will come, kill you all!"
Under Liu Shiyan's aggressive aura, he actually successfully scared away the chaos.
At this time, Wei Guangde, after successfully forcing the rebellious soldiers of Zhenwu Camp, immediately ran back and soon returned to the Nanjing Governor's Palace.
When he arrived here, Wei Guangde saw that the guards had been assigned to the streets to guard, and there were several sedan chairs parked outside the garrison mansion. Obviously, in addition to Xu Pengju, Zhang Liang and Li Tingzhu, there were also Nanjing officials summoned here.
Yes, the Duke of Wei and the Governor of the Governor are located in the center of Nanjing, next to the palace, surrounded by high-ranking officials and six Nanjing ministries, so it is really convenient to find people.
After Wei Guangde dismounted, he stepped in and walked in. No one at the door came forward to stop him. After all, Wei Guangde was wearing an official uniform.
Soon, Wei Guangde arrived outside the garrison hall and saw Zhang Ji following Xu Sheng, and his servants were also resting in a corner of the yard outside the hall.
When Zhang Ji saw Wei Guangde coming in, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, Wei Guangde wanted to turn his horse back, but Zhang Ji wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Wei Guangde and asked him to take someone to come back with Xu Sheng first.
Now that Wei Guangde has escaped unscrupulously, he is extremely surprised.
Wei Guangde approached the garrison hall and heard Xu Pengju inside shouting: "I ordered the various garrisons in the Beijing Camp to go out immediately and surround the small school grounds. Do not let the people from Zhenwu Camp rush out."
When Wei Guangde heard his father-in-law's words outside, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "What have you done?"
This order has been issued now, and it is estimated that the other garrisons have not been fully organized. Besides, the people from Zhenwu Camp have been called back by him. I think there will be no more trouble today.
But even though I think about it, Wei Guangde was still very curious about how his father-in-law and the others came out. Didn’t they say that they were trapped by the rioters?
Back then, Wei Guangde naturally couldn't ask the people opposite him how his father-in-law ran away from you. That was something that only a fool would do.
The garrison hall is the place where Nanjing garrison handles official duties and issues orders. Wei Guangde is considered an imperial envoy, but he is not an imperial envoy who came to Nanjing for business, so he could not go in directly. Instead, he waved to Xu Sheng and called the person aside to ask in a low voice.
Soon, Wei Guangde learned about the experience of Xu Pengju and Zhang Liang in the Ministry of Revenue Office. He was really surrounded by the rioters. When the rioters were pursuing the fleeing Huang Maoguan, Xu Pengju even came forward to stop him, but his actions were exchanged for a row of gunheads.
A rioter even hit the black yarn on his head with a gun, and then pressed his black yarn with a long spear and forced him to retreat. When Xu Peng saw that the situation was unfavorable and chose to calm the situation down, the soldier even cursed frivolously: "Stupid."
Xu Sheng didn't think there was anything. In that case, he could not have conflicts with those riots, after all, they were few.
Even if the guards of the Duke of Wei’s mansion are all very skilled in martial arts, they will suffer a great loss when facing soldiers with battle formation training.
However, when Wei Guangde heard the word "scam" and vaguely remembered that his father-in-law seemed to be a little famous in later generations, but that was the glory of Yue Pengju and the title of "scam general".
