General Fu did not want these 1,000 men anymore, no matter how valuable they were, after being exposed in public. He was so angry that he felt dizzy. He sneered at them, raised his hand behind him, and said angrily, "Yang Xin actually dared to disobey military orders and openly rebel. Capture him and his subordinates immediately!"
How ridiculous!
More than a thousand people actually dreamed of forcing his palace. They didn't even think about how more than a thousand people could compare with thirty thousand people. It was simply like an ant trying to shake a tree!
Yang Xin desperately shouted, "I want to see who will touch me today! Brothers, open your eyes and listen carefully. Today, your parents and brothers may be outside begging and kneeling for General Fu to return the pension money they swallowed! A strong laborer died in the family. How can they live with the old and the young?! Ah!? You fought for General Fu today, and if you die, will your family get the money you exchanged your lives for?! Ah?!"
Yang Xin's questions echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone's movements subconsciously became a little stiff.
Yang Xin said loudly again: "Who gave us the money? The court! Not Councillor Yang, nor General Fu! However, the money given to us by the court was swallowed up by Councillor Yang and General Fu. They are all very rich. Look at the life we brothers are living! Tell me, is it the court that treats us badly, or is it our Councillor Yang and General Fu who treat us badly?!"
He shouted once, and again, at the top of his lungs, and very seriously.
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions began to hesitate.
The issue of pension money has been going on for quite some time, and it is not just one or two people who know about it. Everyone knows it.
In the past, they just didn’t dare to speak up, as if even speaking up was a sin and that they would offend their superiors. But now, someone has spoken up for them, and the resentment in their hearts is immediately aroused.
Yes, this is the money that everyone earned with their lives, why not give it to their family
They work so hard here that they have no food to eat at home, but their superiors have everything they need, including the best food and drinks.
The superiors also said that the people from the imperial court would only exploit them, that the officials from the imperial court were just calling people names and looked down upon the natives.
However, among the superiors who were also natives, Councillor Yang and General Fu, which one of them treated the natives as human beings
General Fu was so angry that he didn't expect Yang Xin to be so bold. He seemed to have gone crazy.
He no longer cared about the group of soldiers outside who were crying for pension money. He pointed at Yang Xin and shouted, "Come here, take him down! Take him down!"
The guards had always obeyed his orders, but at this moment, for some reason, they all hesitated for a moment.
Firstly, Yang Xin was General Fu's confidant after all, and they had often hung out together in the past, so they were all quite familiar with each other. Secondly, it had to be said that what Yang Xin said touched everyone's heart.
Just as he was hesitating, a soldier came running in and shouted, "General, it's bad, General! Outside, outside, the imperial army is coming! They say it's you, you've committed a crime, detained the imperial envoy, and are plotting a rebellion, we want to arrest you!"
It's really like when it rains it pours!
General Fu was extremely irritated and suddenly became angry. He thought that there was no such coincidence in the world. Yang Xin brought people out to talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army, and then the imperial court came with troops to attack. It was obvious that Yang Xin had colluded with the people in the imperial court and set this trap to make them fight among themselves and then catch them off guard.
The more he thought about it, the more General Fu could not suppress his anger. He sneered and said sternly, "You are so eloquent. In the final analysis, you accepted the money from the court and betrayed us natives. You thought about the benefits but forgot about your brothers! If we really let the court send people to take care of it, then who will have the final say in our brothers' affairs in the future? Who can speak for us? We have been fooled by him!"
The two sides were facing each other. Because they were at the exit of the military camp, several of General Fu's trusted captains were unable to bring their men over for a while, so Yang Xin was not at a disadvantage yet.
General Fu couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
At this moment, a horse beside Yang Xin suddenly ran forward a short distance. The man on the horse took off his hood and laughed loudly a few times: "What a joke! You are also qualified to say that you are speaking for the natives. What did you say? When has the court ever deducted money from the natives? The natives' corvée labor has also been exempted, but you so-called clan leaders, have you ever treated your own children well? You deceived your superiors and subordinates, took the silver from the court and lined your own pockets, and then turned around and severely deducted money from the natives and ordinary soldiers. If you say you are helping the natives, then these dead natives and those military households kneeling outside will probably not be able to close their eyes!"
He raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers! Open your eyes and take a good look. I am the consort of Princess Yongning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Commander of the Consort! I have been ordered to take over the Black Mountain Camp. I promise that after taking over the Black Mountain Camp, I will immediately sort out the accounts, make up the pensions for the soldiers who died in the battles over the years, and pay the soldiers! I will never let the soldiers suffer from hunger and hardship again!"
Yang Xin immediately seized the opportunity to echo loudly from the side: "The Prince Consort is a high-ranking official in the imperial court! What he says must count! It must count!"
There was deafening crying outside, and the imperial army had also arrived. Even here inside, it seemed that Yang Xin and the others were determined to follow the prince consort to the end.
The soldiers fell silent for a moment.
At this time, General Fu could no longer bear it, so he snatched the bow and arrow from his personal guard, drew the bow and aimed at Tang Yuan, and then shot.
The arrow flew by like a meteor, but Tang Yuan was agile and bent down from the horse's back, and the arrow missed.
Tang Yuan sneered immediately, and without hesitation, he galloped towards General Fu on his horse.
Yang Xin was shocked. He didn't expect Tang Yuan to be so bold. Did he want to die? !
Although we have manpower on our side, it is obvious that General Fu has the advantage in manpower!
However, this was not the time to think so much. When Yang Xin saw Tang Yuan rushing out, he hurriedly followed him out.
Seeing that Tang Yuan was so aggressive, General Fu quickly gathered his strength and drew his sword to fight.
He is just a consort of the imperial court, living a life of luxury. He is not afraid.
But he didn't expect that Tang Yuan was so brave. His palms were numb from facing Tang Yuan's knife.
