18. The arsenal scares the cow
Liu Xiaqing did not expect that he was expelled from the palace by the emperor. Not only him, but also all the farmers, junkies, blacksmiths, butchers who protected the palace were driven out. The entire palace was completely taken over by the young guards.
The emperor first praised him fiercely, saying that he was loyal and hardworking, and was very satisfied with serving these days. He specially named him "General of the Niu and Horse". Although the general of the Red Eyebrow Army was a P, the P he personally named was also very fragrant. Liu Xiaqing was very happy and immediately expressed his gratitude and expressed his determination to express his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor of Han.
The emperor changed his subject and said that he had so many guards to serve him, and the "general of the cow and horse" did not have to work so hard. The emperor gave him a 360-day annual leave, so that he could take a good rest and enjoy his old age.
Liu Xiaqing was stunned for a moment. He was just forty years old and was in his prime. He took 360 days of annual leave every year. Is this to let him retire early?
He was not allowed to tell the difference. Sun Yi and Wang Meng, two little bastards, "help" him up and walked out. The strength of "help" was a little bigger, and he helped General Niu and Horse stagger. The general turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am well-behaved. I want to serve Your Majesty! Be a cow and a horse for Your Majesty!"
The ox head and horse face are immediately unhappy. If you treat a cow as a horse, what are we? If you want to serve as a cow as a horse for Your Majesty, wait until Your Majesty gives you a name, cow leg flatter and flatter!
Liu Xiaqing was nagging, and the two little bastards were anxious and increased their strength. General Niu and Horse were "helping" a dog to bite shit. Wang Meng said: "You are just your legs and feet, and your body is too weak. No wonder you don't even have a wife. General, I advise you to go home quickly, eat some old ginseng to replenish your body, take a good rest, find a wife to work harder, and maybe you can have a big fat son next year!"
What are these? Why is the dignified general of Niu and Horse? Have you ever asked Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law in Taishan Camp and Sun Widow in Chenliu Camp? They don't know whether Old Liu Xu is not clear?
Liu Xiaqing was indignant and fell to his eyes, but he didn't dare to struggle anymore. These boys were dealt with under his hands, but now the feng shui took turns and he fell into their hands. He felt that if he dared to say something no more, these little bastards would have to "help" him to get disabled.
Liu Biao was still lying on the kang, and Liu Xiaqing didn't dare to follow his footsteps, so he had an uncle and nephew talk to discuss his condition at night.
General Niu and Ma were helped out of the palace gate. Without this backbone, his men were driven out one by one, leaving only the chef and the servants.
Several young men guarded the gate and completely controlled the five-entry courtyard. The palace finally became the emperor's castle alone.
Liu Xiaqing tried to get back on the situation and arranged people from outside to climb the ladder and go up the wall, trying to sneak in, or just stayed on the wall, paying attention to (surveillance) the situation in the palace at any time.
The updater's guard had just revealed his face from the wall when a stone suddenly flew out of the yard and hit him right on the forehead, knocking him upside down and falling off the ladder.
A burst of joy broke out from inside: "I've been beaten, I've been beaten!"
Learning from his lesson, the blacksmith guard put a pot lid on the wall. As soon as he showed up, a long bamboo pole stretched out and stabbed him directly into a flying man, falling even worse than a husband.
"I've been beaten again, I've been beaten again!" the teenagers shouted.
After several rounds of offensive and defensive battles, the butcher guards successfully broke through the defense and jumped into the yard. As soon as they landed, a "trumpet" sounded, and a beast trap clamped his big toe right.
The butcher's feet hurt violently and screamed loudly. The sound was as scattered as the wailing of those pigs and sheep when they were slaughtered by him. If the fat pigs had spirits on the ground, they would greatly comfort the pigs and be grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for seeking justice for them.
The butcher limped out of the gate, and each leader under Liu Xiaqing was injured. The guards became disabled and had to stop attacking and siege instead.
He could not always witness the handsome dragon face of His Majesty, and General Niu and Horse was a little uneasy. Fortunately, His Majesty was still in the palace, so he would not be afraid that the little ancestor would fly out as long as he sent someone to guard several doors.
After guarding for about an hour, the palace gates were wide open, and the young men surrounded the emperor's carriage and came out in a noisy way, ignoring everyone, and heading straight for the direction of the cow stable.
Liu Xiaqing hurriedly chased after him. The Niuma Steady was his one acre of three-point land, and he would never allow others to do anything. But unexpectedly, his authority had already broken all over the land, and he could not control this one acre of three-point land.
Sun Yi was placing people, and the people who were called were happy. Wang Meng was taking people out to drive the cattle, and the cattle were mooing. Originally, half of the young men under Liu Xiaqing turned a blind eye to the old leader, but were extremely enthusiastic about the emperor's will.
Liu Xiaqing directly asked His Majesty to return to the palace, and the little emperor said, "General Niu and Ma, I just want to go out for a walk and take my dear baby Niu out for an outing. You have to worry about this, do you want to imprison me?"
Old Liu could not afford this crime. The Prime Minister ordered that as long as Your Majesty did not run around and ensure safety, he would let the rest of the matter be with him. Besides, herding cattle is not a big deal. It was still His Majesty’s daily work a few days ago, and Liu Xiaqing had no reason to stop him.
The little emperor was the best official at the time, and he made those tall and big babies obedient. It is said that he knew the words of the cow and could have a heart-to-heart talk with the cow.
After a while, the emperor led more than a hundred cattle and horse boys to drive the cattle eastward. Liu Xiaqing had to run and follow his disabled guards.
At the beginning, the cows were still slow, no different from going out for a walk. However, when they arrived near the arsenal, the cow officials suddenly swung their whips, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the arsenal like crazy.
In the Han Dynasty, salt and iron were implemented in a specialized business, and private enterprises were not allowed to operate. If civilians wanted to use iron tools, they had to buy them from the iron officials specially set up by the court. There were iron officials in Zheng County, because there was iron mountains nearby and iron production. Zheng County and nearby Hu County, the official iron smelting industry was very developed. Not only did they produce civilian iron tools, but they also produced weapons for the army. Therefore, an arsenal was set up nearby, and there were quite a lot of weapons in the warehouse.
The Red Eyebrow Army occupied Zheng County and robbed everything, but this arsenal did not move much, and the swords and guns could not be eaten or spent. Why did it be snatched? Xu Xuan sent fifty soldiers to guard the arsenal to prevent weapons from flowing into the people and to replenish military supplies at any time.
These soldiers usually have nothing to do, just guarding the warehouse gate, which is no different from the gatekeepers of later generations.
The weather is very good today, and fifty old men are in pain and are playing the horn-like play in the open space in front of the arsenal. The horn-like play is similar to modern wrestling and is very popular during the Qin and Han dynasties. In a short period of peace when there is no need to fight, the Red Eyebrow Army often uses the horn-like play to vent their excess energy. Some of them go on stage, while others participate in it in the form of gambling.
At this time, dozens of people formed a circle, and two strong men in the circle were twisting their arms and beating each other. The onlookers shouted loudly: "Make a trip, trip him!" "Tight, fall, fall!"
The bets were even more anxious, their faces flushed, and they waved their arms, constantly urging and cursing, wishing they could come to a final victory and defeat in person.
The two strong men have not distinguished themselves with each other for a long time. A soldier cursed and lifted up his clothes and shouted: "Two soft eggs who are not grown, let grandpa give you some urination!"
As he said that, he rushed into the field, and the water column under his crotch shot out quickly. As soon as he gushed, he stopped suddenly. The person next to him laughed and said, "What's wrong? Just a little urinating? You're so sucking!"
The soldier looked up to the distance and shouted, "Cow, cow!"
"What awesome! You can't even urinate like this!" Everyone laughed even more and more.
The man ignored it and only pointed his hand at the front, trembling with his lips: "Awesome, mad cow!"
Everyone looked along his fingers and were stunned.
A group of cows were lowering their heads, showing their sharp horns, and running towards them like crazy. The cow's hooves were digging the ground, the loess was flying, and the earth seemed to be trembling, with a very terrifying momentum.
One man shouted, "Oh my God!" He turned around and ran away. The rest of the people reacted and immediately ran away. Fifty soldiers scattered in an instant, and their legs were slightly slower and were already rushed to the ground by the running cattle.
As for the arsenal behind them, who can still care about it? It is important to save the dog's life.
Behind the cow, more than a hundred young men rushed over and shouted, "Crush! Occupy the arsenal!"
The gate of the arsenal was knocked open, and the teenagers rushed in, taking all kinds of weapons at will. After a chaotic period, everyone was armed, each carrying swords and guns, standing in line in front of the door.
His Majesty the Emperor Jianshi of the Han Dynasty was wearing shiny iron armor, with a croaker on it, and a red helmet and tassel fluttered in the wind.
He was carrying an arrow on his back, holding a long Shuo in his hand, and stood majestic on the car, shouting: "From the future, the arsenal will be classified as the royal treasury, and all the weapons here are owned by the royal treasury. As for you, you will be my Yulin Lang!"
General Liu Xiaqing, the general of Niu and Horse, shouted: "Your Majesty, this is the armour of the army. Your Majesty should not be moved lightly!"
As soon as he said that, the tips of two shining spears pointed at his face. Sun Yi and Wang Meng pointed at him like two evil gods, and shouted: "If you have not been summoned, you will be within ten steps of your Majesty, kill him!"
