A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 117 Uprising
garrison camp
Nine hundred garrison soldiers hid in homemade wooden sheds, cuddling each other to keep warm, while two officers slept soundly in the wooden shed.

They have stayed here for ten days and have passed the deadline to arrive in Yuyang.

In a wooden shed, Chief Chen Sheng, Chief Wu Guang and others gathered together to chat.

"How long will this rain continue to rain?"

"Oh! It's hard to say. It may stop in a few days, or it may last for nearly a month!"

"Now that we have missed the deadline, we don't know what kind of punishment we will suffer when we get to Yuyang."

"So what if we are punished? Can we still run away?"

"Hey, have you heard? There was a riot in Hanoi some time ago, and the thieves and bandits even reached the county seat!"

"What? Really? Those thieves are so fierce?"

"What's so fierce? If you ask me, the officers and soldiers are too weak."

"Tch, why didn't I see you leading everyone to revolt?"

"Okay, do you want to be arrested? You dare to say anything!" Wu Guang stopped him immediately when he saw that everyone was getting more and more outrageous.

"By the way, I've heard that too. I heard that they are under the banner of reviving the Bai Kingdom!"

"If you ask me, the Bai Kingdom is still very good. According to the people of the Bai Kingdom in the past, no one has ever starved to death in the Bai Kingdom, and there are still books to read."

"Really? Is it so good? I don't believe it, as long as the nobles there don't bully us!"

"You guys, don't believe it. My aunt's second aunt's nephew's cousin is from the Bai Kingdom. When he came to our place, his face was all shiny."

"Really, Bai Guo is so good?"

Chen Sheng fell into deep thought after listening to everyone's words.

Seeing that the rain outside had lightened up a bit, he asked Wu Guang to get his raincoat and together they went to inspect other wooden sheds to see if there were many people there.

"Wu Guang, what do you think of the Hanoi riots that everyone just talked about?"

Wu Guang said in surprise: "What?"

Chen Sheng repeated: "The Hanoi rebels attacked the county town and were almost defeated!"

Wu Guang thought for a while and then said: "From this point of view, it is nothing more than that the rebel army is strong or the official army is too weak."

"But now that the emperor has issued a military ban all over the world, even if the rebels conquer several counties, they won't have many weapons and weapons, right?"

"So, it means that the combat effectiveness of our army is not good now?"

"Absolutely!"

Wu Guang looked at Chen Sheng in surprise and asked, "Do you want to follow suit?"

Chen Sheng stopped, looked at Wu Guang and said seriously: "It's not that I want to follow suit, but that we have to follow suit!"

Wu Guang was a little silent, and Chen Sheng continued: "From a close look, we have already missed our schedule due to rain. We will definitely be punished when we arrive at Yuyang. As for what kind of punishment we will receive, do you know?"

Wu Guang thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I don't know, only the petty officials and the two officers in the room know about it! But according to the laws I have seen in the past, they have always been very strict, and the default is not very serious." Seriously, it corresponds to the military law, even if you can’t hear the drum, you should be killed according to the law!”

Chen Sheng also changed his face slightly and said: "No, we can't just rely on God, we should fight for it ourselves. When I was doing long-term work for others, I met a Mohist. He said that he was from the Bai country, and said that the people of the Bai country believed in the Taihang Mountains the most. God, and the Taihang Mountain God is the ancestor of the Bai family.

The ancestors of the Bai family were just slaves at first. They gradually became nobles on their own, and finally founded the world-famous Bai family and even founded the Bai country. Every time I heard what he said, I felt the blood in my body burning.

I asked him, 'Is it true that a person's destiny is destined when he is born? Aristocrats are born aristocrats and slaves are slaves? '

Can you guess what he said to me at that time? "

Wu Guang was also fascinated by what he heard and asked, "How do you say it?"

Chen Sheng looked at the bamboo branches weighed down by the rain swaying in the wind. He said: "The Bai family started from a humble beginning and became a prince. It was never fate, but self." The struggle is not because we have destiny, but because we have destiny after hard work.

The Bai family has never been born into the royal family. It took dozens of generations of hard work to become a royal family. There is a saying in "Song of Gods": No one is born with noble blood, and no one is born to be enslaved.'"

Wu Guang's face turned rosy, "These words are so exciting!"

Chen Sheng turned to look at Wu Guang and said, "This is also the reason why I am determined to fly high!"

Then the two came to the door of the officer's cabin. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other and said, "Bang, bang, bang!"

After knocking for a long time, the door opened. A bearded officer staggered open the door. Seeing it was Chen Sheng, he asked, "What's the matter? Hiccup~"

"Captain, the weather is not good now. It has rained heavily for several days and we can no longer reach Yuyang County on time. The brothers below are very panicked and don't know what kind of punishment they will suffer. I would like to ask the Commander to make it clear to reassure everyone." Chen Sheng Said respectfully.

The bearded officer burped, squinted his eyes and said, "Do you still need to disturb me for such a trivial matter? Go ahead and tell them to be honest and don't even think about escaping. Otherwise, I won't be able to feed you when I get to Yuyang." .”

Chen Sheng continued to ask: "What are the consequences of missing the deadline?"

The bearded man was annoyed by the question, and said impatiently: "The consequences, what consequences, if you don't get them, you will be beheaded!" After that, he slammed the door shut with a bang.

"Old Qi, what's wrong?" Another officer asked from inside the room. "It's okay, I just came to ask some irrelevant questions. Come on, come on, keep drinking!"

"Still drinking? I'm going to see if the rain has stopped!"

"Oh, Lao Yu, come back, what's there to see? It's because the rain is overdue, and it's not intentional. What are you afraid of? Keep going!"

"Let's go take a look!"

"What are you looking at? Do you look down on me, Lao Qi? Just because I am from a rural area and you are from an official background?"

"no!"

"Yes, if you don't drink, you are looking down on me!"

"Oh, can't I drink it?"

"That's right, come on, I admire your background as an official, come on, drink one!" "For Da Qin! Come on, drink another one!" "For Da Qin, I have to drink three bowls, come on!"...

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were walking on the road, both looking ugly. Wu Guang asked, "What should I do now?"

"What should I do? It's against his mother!"

"Are you going to rebel?"

"What else is going on? Waiting to beheaded in Yuyang?"

"Done!"

Afterwards, the two of them each attracted a few of their confidants and gathered together to discuss the matter.

Chen Sheng said: "I heard that the second emperor was the youngest son of the first emperor. He should not have succeeded him. The one who should succeed was the young master Fusu. Because Fusu repeatedly advised the first emperor, the first emperor sent him to lead troops to station in other places. .

Now some people heard that he was not guilty of any crime, but was killed by the second emperor. The common people said that he was very virtuous, but they did not know that he was dead. Xiang Yan was originally a general of the Chu State. He had made many meritorious deeds and loved his soldiers. The people of Chu State loved him.

Some people thought he was dead, others thought he was on the run and hiding. Now, if we pretend to use the names of Prince Fusu and Xiang Yan to issue a call for uprising to the people of the world, many people will respond. "

Wu Qi thought it was right. So a few people went to divine good or bad luck, and the result was good luck.

Finally, everyone decided to build momentum first, so they found cinnabar and wrote the three words "King Chen Sheng" on a piece of white silk, and stuffed it into the belly of the fish caught by others with a net.

The next day, Chen Sheng asked people to go to a nearby market to buy fish and cook it. Then everyone found the silk book in the fish belly. They were all surprised and had different thoughts in their hearts.

In the evening, Chen Sheng secretly sent Wu Guang to an ancient temple overgrown with vegetation near the station, lit a bonfire at night, and imitated the voice of a fox and shouted: "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng."

When the garrison soldiers heard this kind of cry in the middle of the night, they were very frightened and thought there was a ghost. The next morning, the garrison soldiers were talking a lot and looking at Chen Sheng.

Wu Guang thought it was time to take action, but Chen Sheng said: "We can't take action first, otherwise someone will definitely inform the two captains. We must anger the captains to anger everyone, so that we can succeed."

Because Wu Guang always cared about others, many people in the garrison were willing to serve him. On this day, the two captains were drunk again. Chen Sheng knew that the bearded officer was easily angered, but the other officer was difficult to fool, so he just asked someone to call the bearded captain.

As soon as the bearded Captain arrived at the scene, he saw everyone gathered together and shouted: "What do you want to do?"

At this time, Wu Guang stepped forward and said: "Captain, it has been rainy and rainy these days. We are all starving and freezing here, but you are drinking and eating in the wooden house. I would like to ask the Commander to share some rice wine with everyone so that everyone can enjoy it." Keep warm."

Upon hearing this, the captain cursed: "Who are you? Dare you drink the same wine as me?"

Wu Guang continued: "If the captain doesn't bring out the wine to keep us warm, we won't leave. This Yuyang will be guarded by whoever you love!"

The captain was furious. He took out his riding crop from his waist and pointed it at Wu Guangda. He shouted, "How dare you disobey my order! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Wu Guang was not to be outdone and said loudly: "So what if I disobey your order? Without wine to keep warm, all the brothers will freeze to death here. Even if they are lucky enough to reach Yuyang alive, they will be killed for missing time. What difference does it make if you die early or die later?" ?”

The angry captain didn't hear what Wu Guang said clearly at all, so he went up and was whipped. But the garrison heard clearly, and the price for missing the deadline was to be beheaded! They all felt a pang of sadness.

At this time, Chen Sheng came over and pulled out the sword from the captain's waist. He gave the captain a heart-breaking blow with the sword. He turned to everyone and said, "Everyone encountered heavy rain here. Everyone has missed the deadline. You have also missed the deadline." I heard that if you miss the deadline, you will be beheaded according to the regulations.

Even if they are not beheaded, there will definitely be 67 out of 10 people who will die while guarding the border in the future. Besides, it’s okay for a man to die. Even if he dies, he also wants to be famous for future generations. Are princes, generals and ministers all born noble?
I don’t think so. The Bai people say: No one is born of a noble species, and no one is born to be enslaved. Nowadays, rebellion is death, and not rebellion is death. So why can't we choose the way of death by ourselves? "

All the garrison soldiers were so excited that Wu Guang shouted at the right time: "Kill the Qin Dynasty! Attack the unjust!"

"Execute the Qin Dynasty! Defeat the Wudao!"

At this time, another captain arrived at the scene and shouted: "What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Because he was drunk, the captain, who had some wisdom at first, didn't react at this time.

Everyone looked at the captain in unison.

Chen Sheng suddenly shouted: "Catch him quickly!"

Several garrison soldiers who were close to the captain immediately pounced on him and knocked him down. Chen Sheng immediately went over with his sword and struck the captain's head with one blow. He then came to the side with his head and cut off a piece of bamboo with his sword. Wu Guang picked it up. The captain's sword just came up to help.

He tied a piece of cloth to the trunk, then Wu Guang held the flagpole, Chen Sheng held the head in his left hand, and raised the sword in his right hand, and shouted: "In the past, the Hanoi rebels could not stand Qin's tyranny and rebelled, but now we are also unable to stand Qin's tyranny." But on the contrary, wouldn’t they be rebels?”

So they erected the flagpole and built a high platform to swear the oath, and used the general's head as a sacrifice. Everyone showed their right arm as a sign, and they were known as the Great Chu.
