Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 24 Uprising
In the military camp, Wang Yi stood in front of the camp of Colonel Zhang Yi. In front of him were the guards belonging to Zhang Yi, and behind the soldiers were the dumbfounded Zhang Yi and Ma Feng.

Wang Yi was very pleased with their expressions, but they also put on a puzzled expression as if they knew the answer but still wanted to ask.

"Colonel Zhang, Brother Ma Feng, it's okay that these soldiers don't know the inside story, but didn't you just see my methods during the day? Why are you so surprised?"

"Knives, guns... and bullets, are they on the same level?"

There was a hint of bitterness in Zhang Yi's words. Looking at the bullet in front of Wang Yi, which was constantly changing direction under Wang Yi's will, he felt mixed emotions.

Bai Tian Wang displayed his skills and stopped the attacking swords and guns and calmed them down. Although Zhang Yi was surprised, he could accept it.

There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the martial arts world, so it is normal for one or two such evildoers to appear.

But catching bullets was beyond Zhang Yi's understanding. If bullets could be caught as easily as swords and hidden weapons, there wouldn't have been so many extraordinary people who died tragically at the hands of the British musketeers during the first Sino-British war.

Among those who fought against the British army, there were many seniors with extremely advanced horizontal training skills, such as the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt, who were truly invulnerable to swords and guns, and had a layer of protective Qi around their bodies. However, they overestimated their own skills and underestimated the musketry of the foreign powers, which had already surpassed the late Qing Dynasty. After two or three rounds of volleys, no matter how thick your protective Qi was, you would still end up dead.

Not to mention that someone like Wang Yi in front of him was able to collect the bullets shot at him and use them as weapons. This skill alone was beyond the capabilities of many extraordinary people.

Besides, swords and guns, which one does not require human power to drive, which one does not require painstaking efforts to turn it into an extension of one's limbs. How could it be possible for ordinary people to be armed in an organized manner like firearms? Even an ordinary person without any training, as long as he holds a gun and points it at an unsuspecting alien, can easily take him away.

But the Wang Yi in front of him treated the guns in the hands of his guards as toys. Not only did he block hundreds of bullets, he also turned them into his own weapons, firing and receiving at will.

Zhang Yi could already see that his guards were sweating profusely. As ordinary people, they had never seen such miraculous skills before. The fact that they did not kneel down and surrender their guns on the spot was already a result of his well-trained character.

"Go down, and don't let anyone enter my camp."

"Yes, Colonel."

The guards dispersed quickly as if they had been pardoned. They did not want to go against such a living god.

Wang Yi also swept the bullets around him aside and followed Zhang Yi into the camp.

Speaking of which, Wang Yi still has to be grateful for the current poverty and weakness of the world. Although these warlords have guns in their hands, except for the big warlords, the remaining small warlords have five or six light machine guns, two heavy machine guns and ten mortars, so their faces are so smiling that they are about to burst into laughter.

If Zhang Yi's military camp was full of American equipment, with automatic rifles pointed at him, Wang Yi would not pretend to be so arrogant, and would just start firing without even turning his head. But since they were all rifles that had to be reloaded after each shot, Wang Yi was not afraid at all. With his current cultivation level, combined with the characteristics of the human body's magnetic field, he borrowed a phrase from the American Captain Wuwukai who had not yet been born: I can spend the whole day with you like this.

After entering the camp and taking a seat, Zhang Yi looked at Wang Yi in front of him and spoke straight to the point.

"Tell me, Young Master Wang, you didn't come to my house so late at night just to show off your power."

"Didn't I tell you, Colonel Zhang, that I want to show you and Brother Ma Feng a bright and upright path to follow?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that you are not only very skilled, but also a scheming and eloquent guy. Are you really only in your early twenties?"

Listening to Wang Yi's words, Zhang Yi laughed out of anger.

After all, Wang Yi was just trying to be a traitor and stab Cao Ying in the back.

Putting aside the backstabbing of Cao Ying, Zhang Yi would not feel any psychological burden in taking action against this boss who regarded human life as worthless. In the final analysis, he still had a conscience. But as he just said to his junior brother Ma Feng, no matter how bad Cao Ying was, he was still Sun Dashuai's man, and Sun Dashuai was a big warlord of the Beiyang faction.

Even though there were internal strife within the Beiyang faction and some warlord leaders were killed, those were all grudges between them.

But if Zhang Yi betrayed Cao Ying and joined another army, it would be a slap in the face of Sun Dashuai. If he offended Sun Dashuai, in the central government where the Beiyang faction was still in power, Zhang Yi would have no place to stay. No warlord would accept him, and some would even beat him up. He would hand himself over to Sun Dashuai, who occupied five provinces, to ask for a favor.

The compliment just now was also Zhang Yi's sarcasm. He also wanted to live a different life, but unfortunately he couldn't. In Zhang Yi's opinion, the so-called upright and aboveboard path was simply not feasible.

Wang Yi could also hear Zhang Yi's irony, but he did not give a positive answer. Instead, he recited a passage from Zhuge Wuhou's "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".

"Now that the south has been pacified and we have sufficient weapons and armor, we should encourage and lead the three armies to conquer the Central Plains in the north..."

Having hinted at this point, Zhang Yi and Ma Feng were not ignorant and uneducated, so it was no wonder they didn't understand what Wang Yi meant.

"You want me to surrender to this government in the south?!"

"Hey, it's not called surrender, it's called uprising." Wang Yi corrected the wording and continued, "Colonel Zhang is still too obsessed with military affairs and is not very sensitive to the current changes in the situation. The Beiyang side is fighting fiercely and taking turns to come to power. The South is not idle either, but has been accumulating strength and preparing for war. In accordance with the will of the former Prime Minister, they want to unify China."

"Are you from the South?"

"I am a person who wants to see peace in the world and a prosperous country. The Beiyang government is not good. No matter who comes to power, they are all dogs of the foreigners. Even if you can really change your allegiance, you will just be poked in the back from one place to another. Is this a fun way to live?"

"why me?"

"Because Brother Ma Feng said that you are a good person, but you are controlled by this world. I can also see that you are a good person. A good person should not be pointed at by this evil world. So I will change your way of life. You can still conquer the world and conquer the Central Plains in the north. It is better for the people to welcome you with food and drink than to avoid you like a tiger, wolf, or snake, right?" "That's easy to say. You said it yourself. No matter how many people come to power in the Beiyang government, they are all dogs of foreigners. But the current situation is that the country is poor and weak, surrounded by foreign powers. Even if they are dogs of foreigners, don't you have to look at the owner when beating them? The Beiyang government has strong soldiers and horses. Let's not talk about the distant ones. Let's talk about Marshal Zhang who is about to enter the pass. The army under his command can be called a strong army."

Listening to Wang Yi's words, Zhang Yi was obviously moved, but this was not enough to persuade him to rebel!

"The combat effectiveness that can be displayed by a group of soldiers who are paid for their service is not equal to that of a group of soldiers who risk their lives for a belief or an ideal. It is true that the Beiyang faction is strong in both military and military power, but they lack righteousness."

"They have taken control of the central government! They have a strong army and a powerful force. This is justice!"

“What the people want is what is right.”

Wang Yi retorted indifferently that he didn't want to talk to others in such a flowery way, but in this era, when chatting with these people who were wavering in the tide of the times, they were not willing to listen to plain words.

Zhang Yi was silenced by Wang Yi's words, but he still wanted to struggle.

"Even if, even if I revolt, why do you think the South will accept me?"

"Colonel Zhang, I just said that you are not very sensitive to the current situation and don't pay much attention to it. The South has been planning a northern expedition. If you calculate the time, at the latest this time next year, they will gather a large army and march north. By then, the northern expedition will be unstoppable. At that time, if you want to surrender, it depends on whether they want you or not. Don't be defeated and captured, and end up being killed. But now, if you cooperate with me to deal with Cao Ying and lead the army to revolt, the treatment will be different. There is a saying that a thousand gold coins buy horse bones. I think Colonel Zhang has heard it.

It was obvious to anyone that the South was planning a northern expedition, but I don't think many people were optimistic about the South at this time. At this time, there happened to be a man like Colonel Zhang who was dissatisfied with Cao Ying's brutality and oppression of the people and joined the army. Hey, it was a chance. I think Colonel Zhang was able to climb to the position of colonel under Cao Ying. I don't think he didn't know anything, right? Colonel Zhang, wealth and honor are sought in danger. You want to achieve success and fame, and do something, but you don't want to be stabbed in the back by the people and end up becoming the kind of person you don't want to be. You have to make a choice and pay a price. I have pointed out the way for you. It's up to you to choose~"

After saying that, Wang Yi also put his legs on the table, leaned back in his chair, put his hands on his head, closed his eyes and rested, leaving the time to his fellow apprentices Zhang Yi and Ma Feng.

Obviously, Zhang Yi did hear what Wang Yi said. His face was gloomy and he was conflicted.

Because he had to struggle with this kind of thing. If the escort agency had been forced to disband earlier, he might have agreed. Because at that time he had no choice but to go all the way. But now, although Cao Ying was unpopular, he did not intend to work under Cao Ying for his whole life. It was only a matter of time for him to use Cao Ying as a springboard and jump into the Beiyang lineage. His talent was ten times better than Cao Ying's, but he was not as lucky as Cao Ying.

But Wang Yi also told himself that the Beiyang clique would not be able to thrive for a few years, and if he was still working hard in the Beiyang clique at this time, it would really be like the black humor of entering the palace to become a eunuch before the Xinhai Revolution.

Ma Feng, who was standing by, also looked at his senior brother with hope. He had been persuaded by Wang Yi, and he wished he could agree to it on behalf of his senior brother. If Nanbian was really like what Wang Yi said, then it would not be a problem for him to be his senior brother's vanguard and start a big business. But he could not make this choice for his senior brother.

"What will you do if I don't agree? Kill me here?"

"It's not that serious, but if this happens, I will have to resort to the worst strategy and fight with Marshal Cao above you. As Marshal Cao's trusted and beloved general, Colonel Zhang, I think by then neither you nor I will be able to decide each other's life or death."

The steps were handed over and the knife was drawn.

Wang Yi's words made Zhang Yi's face turn dark. Damn, it's so great to have a high level of cultivation, right?

What was there that he couldn't make a decision about? Just now, when he witnessed Wang Yi blocking the bullet in front of the camp with his own eyes, Zhang Yi knew that his commander Cao had no chance of winning.

Wang Yi just said that the combat effectiveness of soldiers who are paid and soldiers who fight for a belief or a goal are not equal. Unfortunately, the soldiers under Cao Ying are the former. Even the three thousand soldiers under his command were able to protect him just now because he was well-trained and had clear rewards and punishments.

As long as Wang Yi used the tactics he had just demonstrated in front of him in front of Cao Ying's army and inflicted the first round of casualties, these ruffians who had gathered under Cao Ying for money would not have the heart to fight again. Could a bunch of defeated soldiers stop the young man in front of him?

The reason why aliens ended in the era of hot weapons and left the stage of the times.

It is simply because the population base of aliens is small compared to most ordinary people in the world. Secondly, the institutionalization and rapid development of firearms have directly eliminated the gap between aliens and ordinary people.

On the front battlefield, facing an army armed with live ammunition, the aliens have only two choices: defeat or escape.

Although there are indeed some highly skilled people who can charge into the battle alone, that is based on the premise that there are more soldiers than guns and the troops do not exceed a certain threshold.

Unfortunately, although his superior Cao Ying had over 10,000 soldiers and guns, most of them were Hanyang rifles, with a small number of Mauser rifles, five light machine guns, and ten mortars.

This configuration is no problem for fighting a small-scale battle, but using it against Wang Yi alone is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, but this mosquito can bite people to death!
It's just that Wang Yi didn't want to turn this Pucheng crisis into a story about a strange man named Wang Yi doing chivalrous things. This would be a bad idea and would be of no use at all, which led to what happened tonight.

Wang Yi would not express this idea. He could only achieve his goal indirectly by taking a roundabout way and inciting Zhang Yi to rebel.

Now that things have come to this, Zhang Yi is not someone who doesn't know what's good for him, and Wang Yi's words really moved him.

If you can change the way you live and not be criticized by the people, what's wrong with that?
Moreover, he was really afraid that one day he would become the kind of person he least wanted to be. He was fed up with this torment!
The good thing about people who practice martial arts is that they do what they think without any delay.

"Okay, then please teach me, Young Master Wang, how to change my way of life!"

Hearing Zhang Yi's answer, Wang smiled.

This matter is half done!
