The dark room was silent, only Duanfang was still muttering, and in addition, there were some snoring sounds from the corner, and several nervous martial artists were falling asleep soundly with Duanfang's complaints. The mutiny tossed all night, although most people couldn't sleep, but there were always a few heroes who couldn't hold their eyelids, no way, the habit that had been cultivated for a long time, the all-night Qinglou rubbing mahjong, and the public hall during the day would be Zhou Gong, this is the true portrayal of the Qing officialdom this night.

"Don't say it, brother, stop and stop, you're not too tired." Duanjin's words came from the darkness. This Duanjin is Duanfang's brother-in-law, the brothers have a close relationship, the Duanfang was ordered to parade, and Duanjin will also be brought to watch the exercise, long insight, and then Anqing chaos, Duanfang no one can believe it, so he let his younger brother Duanjin go to take charge of the baggage fleet, control ammunition and artillery, after the mutiny in Huangnigang, this Duanjin was also held by the mutineers, escorted over, it was from Duanjin's mouth, Duanfang, Yinchang and others learned that a "water ghost" army from nowhere to swim at night to touch the baggage boat, A large amount of weapons and ammunition and all the artillery were seized.

"Smack!"

"You idiot! If you hadn't slackened, where would the rebels get their artillery? ”

Duan Fang slapped Duan Jin and scolded a few words.

Everyone knows that Duanjin was wronged by this slap, and the cannon mounted by the rebels on the mountain was not taken by the baggage boat at all, Duanjin suffered for others, if it wasn't for his indecisiveness and indecision, maybe this mutiny would not have been provoked at all.

In the final analysis, this is called luck, perhaps, the national fortune of the Great Qing Kingdom is coming to an end.

Yin Chang wanted to comfort Duan Fang, but he straightened his waist, and sat back again, now at this time, even he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, what qualifications do he have to comfort others? Save effort and nourish the spirit, so as not to embarrass the flag people when they eat knives, how to say, they are also the descendants of the Eight Banners athletes who entered the customs from the dragon back then, isn't it? Looking back, I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed over the years, and there is nothing to regret when I die here, if I am killed by the rebels, I will not be able to enter the Zhaozhong Temple, and the orphans will not be rewarded by the court, no matter how I count it, I can't count it as a loss.

"My lord, we are locked up here, and they don't interrogate or punish them, what are you trying to do?" A man squatting beside Yin Chang asked.

Yin Chang turned his head to look, although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, judging from the voice, it was Zhang Biao, the commander of the Eighth Town, but he didn't know if it was related to his neck injury, and his voice was a little different.

"What do you want to do so much? It is time to eat knives and eat knives, and it is time to repatriate and repatriate. Another official replied for Yinchang, listening to the voice, it was Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the ninth town of the Jiangsu New Army, although the rebel army intended to recruit him, but so far, he has not been put into prison, and the people in this room do not know that he has revealed his "anyway" idea to Yang Wangpeng and others.

It is rare for someone to be as open-minded as himself, Yin Chang couldn't help but look at the "bookworm" a few times, in his opinion, Xu Shaozhen really doesn't look like a soldier, the bookish anger on his body is too strong, his personality is not strong, indecisive, strategic, not brave, even his subordinates can't be restrained, it is very suitable to be a staff officer, but it is indeed a bit difficult for him to command an army, I really don't know who brought him to the position of commander in the first place, Yin Chang couldn't help but think of "Qingna Company".

Hearing a few people talking, the room fell silent for a while, and even the other side stopped humming, as if Xu Shaozhen knew the answer to the question. Locked up in this dark room for so long, and not even a single arraignment person came, this really made everyone scratch their heads, and they didn't know what the rebels would do with their "dog officers".

In the silence, the people in the house heard a few passwords outside, and the sentry outside the house changed the guard.

"Every two hours." Zhang Biao muttered, although the watch had been searched, the habit he had developed for a long time allowed him to accurately judge the guard change interval.

Everyone's mind moved, they didn't think about escaping, but this house was originally a livestock pen of a large family in the town, and I don't know if it was to show off, this livestock pen was actually made of gray bricks and ash, which was extremely strong, and even the beams of the house were regular, better than the halls of small households, and if you wanted to escape from here, you were basically dreaming, besides, the foreign guns in the hands of the sentinels outside were not decorations, so everyone just thought about it and let go of this idea.

While everyone was turning their minds, they heard the two newly appointed sentries outside begin to mutter:

"Brother, on such a cold day, the officials don't give us a warm cotton jacket to wear."

"Come on, you, it's good to have a coat to wear, haven't you seen it? The pioneer officers didn't even wear overcoats, they ran from Anqing, and the Anqing New Army didn't even have a coat to make a revolution, what do our Hubei soldiers say, they can't be compared to them, but our Hubei New Army's salary is high, and the Anhui Yankees are poor, I heard that the women in their place are shirtless when they work in the fields, why? I'm afraid I'll wear out my clothes. ”

"That's the same, if you call the Anhui officers to transfer our Hubei soldiers, you can bear it."

"Hehe, Anhui Yan can't understand our Hubei dialect, and we can't understand Anhui dialect, if you really transfer Anhui officers, I'm afraid that even shouting will be enough."

……

From the conversation between the two sentinels, Yin Chang and the others determined one thing: it was indeed the rebels from Anqing who instigated the mutiny, and what kind of "vanguard officer" was the leader of the "vanguard officer", and it was the Anqing New Army that set up artillery bombardment on the hill at that time.

Everyone was locked up in this dark room, and they were already uncomfortable, and their hearts were uneasy, and when they heard the enemy soldiers talking, everyone held their breath and listened attentively.

At this time, the two sentinels gradually turned the conversation to the revolutionary situation.

"Brother, tell me, can our revolution succeed? When will the Tartars be finished? When will we Han people sit in the country? ”

"This revolution will be made in the blink of an eye! Our Han people will not take half a year, and they will be able to sit on the country! ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Didn't you listen to the officials? Our new army in the south is not rebelling on its own, in the north, there are still our people! The south and the north rebelled together, and the Tartars could still sit firmly? ”

"What do you mean? What did the official say? ”

"Let me ask you, it only took two days before and after, and the Dog Emperor of the Manchu Dynasty and the Empress Dowager of the West went to the Netherworld one after another, don't you think it's strange?"

"It's kind of weird. You say yes, it's not too sooner or later, the emperor of the front foot is dead, and the queen mother of the west is also dead, if they all die of illness, they can only deceive fools, don't say that they are officials, even my little soldier has found something wrong. ”

"Let me tell you, when I was carrying the package for the pioneer officer and a few of them just now, they were talking, and I secretly pricked up my ears and listened to a few words, guess what?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that there is something strange here? ”

Hearing this, all the captives in the room held their breath and listened carefully to what the little soldier would say, the deaths of Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi were too bizarre for everyone not to be curious, even if their own lives were hanging by a thread now.
