Chapter 239 Array row (5)(2/2)
Frankly speaking, the surrender of the Imperial Guards is actually pretty much what most rational people expected. Even Zhang Xing and Zhang Dalongtou, who single-handedly supported the Imperial Guards, did not truly regard the Imperial Guards as a military force that could be relied upon when making military plans. In his opinion, it would be enough if the chamberlain army could delay Han Yingong for a day or two with its presence, or if Han Yingong could divide his troops to retrieve it.
Moreover, not only was there no Deposed Dragon Gang, nor was there the Huaiyou League, there were still no dead Meng rebels. No one had any extra expectations for this exiled military group composed of internal servants.
Now, the internal servant army has personally verified this.
If there is something surprising, it is that Eunuch Wang, one of the powerful father-in-laws of Beiya in the past, could obviously avoid this humiliation by relying on his face, but he still wore trousers and shirtless like everyone else. I walked out in the rain with my bare feet in the mud.
And he was the first to walk out and the first to enter the camp gate.
"Invite the prince."
Inside the camp gate, the general platform collapsed due to rain. Han Yingong felt embarrassed, because with the arrival of the surrendered servants, the words of his subordinates around him became more and more obscene... White dumplings are all delicious. , some people have already shouted for these chamberlains to take off their undergarments... But just a year ago, the princes and princes were still acquaintances of these generals and the Prime Minister of Nanya.
Li Qingchen and Li Qingzhou are not qualified to go up and talk.
The prince was brought over immediately.
"Old Wang." Han Yingong avoided the opponent's skin and body that were like white dumplings with some embarrassment. "Why is this? Could it be that Li Shisanniang didn't explain clearly? You don't have to be like this."
"Let's make it clear." The prince climbed onto the slippery rammed earth platform in the rain, and even slipped in the middle, forcing him to hastily fix his bun, which made him look even more embarrassed. "I also know. General Han’s generosity, but this is my own choice..."
"Are you crazy?" Even Li Qingchen, who was lying on one side with a guard holding a tarpaulin above his head, had a flash of expression, because when he saw the other party yesterday, he still looked very decent. "Okay. You can't live in peace, so you can become a military slave... You are in Beiya, don't you know what kind of treatment official slaves get when they join the army?"
"Of course I know." Wang Gonggong turned his head, his face was calm, and his words were appropriate. "I just feel that since I led them up and took the knife that day, I should suffer the result with them today... No matter the crime or the punishment, it doesn't matter. It should be mine."
This is quite a statement.
A sense of responsibility!
And everyone likes a responsible person, even if he is a chamberlain.
"General Han." Li Qingzhou moved his eyes away from the messy hair sticking to his face around his bun and looked at Han Yingong. "Can't you be a little considerate?"
Han Yingong wanted to speak for a moment, but then looked around and sighed. More naked servants had entered the camp gate and were then driven back to the rear camp.
On the contrary, it was the prince who looked at Li Qingzhou and said something: "Li Shisanniang thinks too much... General Han can understand everything, but it is wrong for us white dumplings to be used as civilian husbands and to serve as sergeants for the generals." This is incomprehensible, because these are the two things that General Han's army needs most at this time. Those of us who are used to doing things can become military slaves, so that the sergeants can have a rest, and the troops can also get rid of the logistic dependence of the Huaiyou Alliance. "If the palace rations sergeants, the morale of the soldiers will be revived, they will be grateful to General Han, and then they will continue to listen to him wherever they go."
At this point, Wang Gonggong obviously paused for a moment before continuing: "I only came to my senses after being besieged. For General Han who just led these troops out of Xuzhou, there was no such thing as the Deposed Dragon Gang and us. The importance of these people has never been that we attract troops for the Deposed Dragon Gang and delay time, but that the Deposed Dragon Gang attracts troops for us and delays time... We, ourselves, are the trophies they want most."
Han Yingong laughed dryly.
Li Qingchen felt like he had something stuck in his throat.
Li Qingzhou simply said: "So you surrendered? Do you know you can't escape?"
"We can't do it without surrender." Wang Eunuch remained magnanimous. "Actually, I want to defend myself, and I will defend with all my life, so that I can repay Zhang Dalongtou and those who deposed the Dragon Gang, but I really can't control other people, but I I can’t let go, who am I without them? I can only accept my fate by following them!”
"Take it down!"
Han Yingong finally became impatient. "Lock them up first! The same goes for those palace servants later! Tell the army that these servants will be their military slaves, and the palace servants will be their wives... I will do what I say !Officers are given priority, and the rest will be divided according to their military merits in this battle!"
The surrounding sergeants were obviously excited, cheered, and couldn't wait to push the prince down. As the message was conveyed, the entire army cheered, and the cheers became louder and louder.
Li Qingzhou's face was pale. She was frightened by Han Yingong's unabashed last act, and she felt sympathy for the prince... unmistakable sympathy.
As for Li Qingchen, he couldn't help but think of a question similar to last night - what would he do if Zhang San was here?
Whether he replaces Han Yingong or himself, Zhang Xing is here, what will he do?
The evacuation and storage of thousands of people was not an easy task. It was not until the evening that the evacuation and evacuation of the entire Xiayi was completed.
Then of course a riot broke out.
Although Han Yingong repeatedly emphasized that the troops would be dispatched tomorrow and that the servants and palace servants should be under unified custody and distributed according to rules, the fact was that after making the promise, the troops began to lose control with an unbridled attitude.
Han Yingong adopted a passive and laissez-faire attitude towards this.
As a result, a considerable number of the troops who were the first to be loyal to him began to enter Xiayi City to rob. Some senior officers were the first to put forward the need for wives, and first went to the palace to select them. Then as night fell, the scale expanded rapidly. .
More troops want to enter the city, and more officers want to marry their wives in advance. It is best to get married tonight.
There were also many chamberlains and palace servants trying to hide and escape, which gave these sergeants a better excuse to "search" inside the city and "pursue" outside the city.
As for the white dumplings who landed as agreed, they were trapped in the back camp, which was only half a shed with a roof, sitting on the muddy water and crushed crops, with the summer rain falling continuously above their heads... Han Yingong was still very trustworthy in some respects. The servants even ate a rain-soaked meal of old rice and barnyard grass the night after they were imprisoned... After eating, everyone huddled together, either in panic or quietly listening to the rain. Sounds and cries, noises, and cheers mixed in my ears, one after another.
To be honest, thousands of naked waiters crowded together really looked like white-skinned dumplings that had been cooked.
And these dumplings who were cooked soon began to regret it.
As most people have observed, and as the prince himself said, he is not afraid, he wants to resist, but just a few months are not enough for him to establish absolute authority over the internal servants... ...After all, he had no way to lead his army of chamberlains to rob the queen, nor could he give wives to his army of chamberlains. He was just a chamberlain... So, the final result was that most of the chamberlains were plotting against the imperial officers and soldiers and Han Yin Gong from the very beginning. They were afraid of the name of Dang County, which led them to give up Dang County again as they did last time. Then they rejected the requests of the princes and some of the warring factions again and again at internal meetings in Xiayi, and agreed with the Li brothers and sisters. They chose to surrender under the conditions of both inducement and forced surrender.
Then, they regretted it in the gradually heating pot.
But once the dumplings are out of the pot, what can you do if you regret it?
Many people looked at Eunuch Wang, hoping that Eunuch Wang, who was now proven to be on the right side, could do something or say something for them. However, Eunuch Wang sat there cross-legged from the beginning and quietly finished his meal.
Rice, quietly listening to the movements in the city, quietly listening to the cries and laughter around him and on the other side of the camp, which grew louder and then gradually subsided.
In this way, amid the noise and silence, midnight gradually came.
"Everyone."
At the moment when all the white dumplings were almost resigned to their fate, Wang Gonggong suddenly spoke, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just barely enough for hundreds of people around to hear in the rainy night. "After such a long time, you should also
You have to understand one truth...that is, if you want to survive, if you want to be respected by others, if you want to have a place to live, you have to fight for it yourself. Only then will you have a chance! By surrendering and relying on others' pity, you will only make yourself worse.
!”
In response to the prince, there were still low cries and the patter of rain, but there was also a terrifying silence.
"I don't know what you think, but after these few months, I don't want to be a military slave anymore, I don't want to be any slave anymore!" Wang Gonggong continued, his voice seemed to be slightly louder and his tone was a little bit louder.
Choking. "Why should I be a slave when I'm a human being?! It doesn't matter if I die or run away. Anyway, we can't be so useless and be eaten as dumplings in the pot, and we can't watch those who take the initiative to defect to us.
The palace people and the people of Xiayi were sold out by us like this... We have to treat ourselves as individuals, and we have to treat those who are willing to treat us as individuals, right?"
The words seemed to be getting more and more chaotic, but the surrounding quiet area seemed to be constantly expanding.
"There is a three-finger-long knife in my bun. If no one lies to me, we have fifty knives like this." Wang Gonggong continued, his voice louder. "Now, the people outside are crying.
Keep crying, the people who brought the knives in crawled over with me, killed the guards, and grabbed their knives and guns! If you don’t have knives and guns, just tear down the fence, or use your fists! I will fight with my life tonight to let Han Yingong
You know! If he doesn’t treat others as human beings, what will happen? A white dumpling can choke him to death!"
At the back camp, the crying outside suddenly became louder, causing the guards who were not too much and impatient to stop shouting and scolding. However, soon, the rain also became faster, which made the guards quickly give up.
He yelled and scolded, and then adapted to the noise again.
On the night of May 28th, the annoying rain came again.
PS: Sorry, I got into a fight with someone over nonsense two nights in a row...I feel so ashamed at such an old age.
