Chapter 256 Rebelling against the imperial court is tantamount to being a chariot
The patrol officers of the patrol battalion immediately closed the door while Xiao Jingao's officers and soldiers of the Bianbat had just fired the lead bullets with firearms and the gap in the loading of the ignition rope.
These soldiers of the patrol battalion were the second-tier Yulin Guards because they could not finally be selected as Yulin Guards' war soldiers.
Although they were auxiliary soldiers, they also received basic training and the military officers who led them were all soldiers who were arranged to patrol battalions due to injury and discharge from the military. Therefore, these officers and soldiers were able to obey orders and did not show any panic at this time.
After Zhou Yuji took Huang Zunyi hostage, he shouted loudly: "If you dare to attack, I will kill everyone in the garden! Nie Shou, take people to the inner courtyard and capture all the Xu family's family. If anyone dares to be disobedient, chop his hands first and then chop his feet!"
"yes!"
Another patrol battalion sentry officer named Nie immediately replied.
Xiao Jingao did not expect that Zhou Yuji and other patrol battalions would rush into Lanchun Garden without fear of death. Even Zhou Yuji himself rushed into Lanchun Garden with a group of patrol battalions.
After seeing the closed Lanchun Garden Gate and Huang Zunsu's appearance of being held hostage by Zhou Yuji, and hearing the sound of Zhou Yuji threatening him from inside, Xiao Jingao shouted directly:
"Zhou Yuji! You are arrogant! You dare to disobey my orders! I want the court to impeach you and impeach you for rebellion!"
Zhou Yuji was quite depressed and angry after hearing this.
He knew that Xiao Jingao was threatening him and threatening him out, so as to kill him and silence him.
If these people do not surrender.
"Zhou Yuji, think it out yourself. You can't send someone out to spread the news to the tyrant now, so that the tyrant knows your loyalty! In addition, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalions in Suzhou and Zhenjiang do not know that you are here, and they will not know that the official is going to rebel. The Dongchang Anti-Corruption Department does not know your situation yet, so they cannot send someone to report your affairs to the tyrant immediately. As the governor, I can immediately inform you of the impeachment of your intention to rebel with a certain vassal king because of dissatisfaction with the court. With the tyrant's character, I will only slaughter your whole family first!
How about it? Do you think you have any other choice? You can only join me now in charge of trouble, so you need to release Huang Zunyi now!"
Xiao Jingao continued to threaten.
"Yes, Zhou Shou Ge, you have no other way. The tyrant has caused the anger of heaven and people. Rebellion may be another way out!"
Huang Zunyi also encouraged Zhou Yujilai.
Zhou Yuji directly pressed the tip of the knife into Huang Zunyi's neck muscles, but did not stab it in, and just shouted: "Shut up! Even if the emperor really slaughtered the whole family of my Zhou family because he didn't know Zhou's loyalty, I, Zhou, would not be a traitor. In the future, the emperor will know the injustice of my Zhou family and return my innocence to us!"
As he said that, Zhou Yuji shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Yulin Guards of the Patrol Camp! Their heads can be broken, blood can flow, and loyalty and righteousness cannot be abandoned! Don't forget our oath to enter the Yulin Guard! People will die in this life, but they are about to die. Now surrender will only be a slander. They are fighting against the court by the mantis arm, and we cannot be deceived by them! I would rather die standing now than die because of betrayal of the king and father in the future! You said yes?!"
"Yes! Listen to Mr. Zhou Qian!"
"Yes! Listen to Mr. Zhou Qian!"
"Yes! Listen to Mr. Zhou Qian!"
...
The sentry officers and general flag officers among the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion responded loudly.
Moreover, because Zhou Yuji served as the Qiang General of the 1,000th Headquarters of the Infantry Headquarters when he was still the Guard Battalion in the Guard Town, these sentry officers and general flag officers also called him General Zhou Qiang General.
Xiao Jingao outside was quite disappointed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Zhou Yuji would be so firm and he was indeed very prestigious in the patrol camp.
"Okay, then I will fulfill your wish! Fence up here, Master Hou, you immediately go back to the governor's office and write a memorial for me to inform the court that Zhou Yuji and King Fu rebelled!"
Xiao Jingao started to speak loudly.
Then, Xiao Jingao ordered his gang leader Xu Ze, "General Xu, leave a thousand firearms and five hundred archers to surround the place! Kill one if you come out!"
Xu Ze and Xu Shaoliang are uncles and nephews.
Xu Shaoliang was discovered by the East Factory because he was hoarding cotton with the Huang Zunyi family. After seeing Huang Zunyi, he was about to rebel together, so Xu Ze was pulled in by Xu Shaoliang.
At this time, Xu Ze replied: "Yes!"
Then, Xiao Jingao ordered Xu Shaoliang: "The East Factory Anti-Corruption Department must be silenced as soon as possible. How many rural heroes have your Xu family organized now?"
"But, Zhongcheng, the student's family!"
Xu Shaoliang did not answer Xiao Jingao's question. He is only worried about the lives of his whole family. After all, his family is coming to Chunyuan.
"You answer this official first!"
Xiao Jingao suddenly roared.
Xu Shaoliang couldn't help but tremble.
Then, Xiao Jingao said angrily: "Your Xu family and the Huang family were discovered by the people from the East Factory to hoard cotton. Therefore, you want to rebel with the Huang family. Why do you have to rebel? You don't have any signs of rebellion yet? You care about your family, why do you have to do these things that violate the ban on the court, and even rebel?! Say it! Tell me!"
Xiao Jingao's blue veins raised his head and scolded Xu Shaoliang.
Xu Shaoliang did not expect Xiao Jingao to lose his composure so he could only say: "Students, students are also lucky and greedy for the benefit of hoarding cotton, but they did not expect to be discovered by the people from the East Factory. The students did not want to rebel. Besides, all of this is Mr. Huang's idea. Mr. Xiao, you are not unaware of it. We all want to obey Mr. Xiao."
"Hmph! It's too late to say this now, but don't worry, as long as we don't attack, your family will be fine. Zhou Yuji is not afraid of death, but he will never be willing to let all the brothers in his patrol camp die. After all, many of them are brothers who have killed Donglu with him."
Xiao Jingao sneered as he said that.
"You haven't answered this official yet, how many rural heroes have you Xu's family organized?"
Xiao Jingao continued to ask.
"Three thousand people have come to the front, and now they have followed your instructions to surround the Anti-Corruption Department of the East Factory."
Xu Shaoliang replied.
After hearing this, Xiao Jingao hurriedly said, "Kill all the 300 people in the East Factory Anti-Corruption Department! Then you take them to ban the outer city, and the group of scholars and people outside now. Tell them that the court ordered them to slaughter them. Now I decided to disobey the imperial edict and take them to guard the outer city of Nanjing with them! Let them immediately defend the outer city of Nanjing and not let anyone go out of the city!"
"Okay! Students will do it now!"
Xu Shaoliang replied quickly.
...
Next, Xiao Jingao looked at the inner city of Nanjing, where there were the officers and soldiers of Nanjing Jingzhan led by the Secretary of War of Nanjing and the officers and soldiers of Nanjing camp led by the Nanjing nobles.
Xiao Jingao knew that these people must be the same as Zhou Yuji before, and they didn't know about his rebellion and rebellion.
