Chapter 877: The Most Powerful Soldier

There is a difference between people.

My father-in-law is very powerful.

is also Xu Yuan's subordinates, those big and small directors and account offices have been "retained" by him, but these overseers and thugs are killed when they say they will kill, without blinking their eyes.

It is really a eunuch who regards human life as a mustard and a eunuch who brings disaster to the country!

But what does this mean?

It shows that the elders are right when they say that people can't die if they have a craft.

In the eyes of his father-in-law, reading and literacy are not intellectuals, they can only be regarded as skills. In the same way, it is also a craft to plan the market, and it is also a craft to keep accounts......

Craftsmen deserve preferential treatment.

It only beats and bullies people, and it is not considered a craft.

Therefore, the overseers and thugs could not get a different look from Grandpa Wei.

If you honestly obey the arrangement, it is useless, all of them are manpower, and hundreds of people are pulled overseas, how can they also act as the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty's foreign colonization.

The father-in-law had even thought about asking the emperor to pack all the non-death row prisoners in the Jiangnan County Prison to him.

There is no way, the good people of our Han people have a homeland complex, it's not that they are afraid that they can't live, who is willing to leave their hometown to live overseas.

Prisoners want it, especially these strong overseers and thugs.

Therefore, my father-in-law will not kill people indiscriminately.

But if these people are not honest, the father-in-law doesn't care about the extra lives on his hands.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and new officials must be prestigious, these are all routines.

The lieutenant guards of Jiangnan Town executed a group of local bandits, and no one could say what was wrong.

More than a dozen corpses shook the overseers on the field, as well as the miners.

Thousands of people just stood there dumbfounded, stupidly watching, a few ruffians who were trampled under the feet of their companions forgot to get up, and a few others who wanted to pretend to be injured and screamed a few times also stuck in their throats in time.

The dead man, the miner's porter and the overseer thugs have seen too much.

Mining was originally a business to deal with Lord Yama, and dead people were normal for them.

The one buried in the cave was beaten to death by the overseer, and tortured to death by Boss Xu......

These people have seen any way to die, but like this, they directly called the fire gun to kill in front of their eyes, called the knife to cut off their heads, and there were more than a dozen scenes at a time, the miners and porters had not seen it, and the overseers and thugs had not seen it.

They were all frightened, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and watched fixedly as the corpses were dragged behind the mound.

Only then did they realize how terrible the officers and soldiers standing around them were.

………..

From the moment they entered this Liyang Iron Field, the officers and men of the Imperial Army had never used force, because those Iron Field Guards composed entirely of ruffians and hooligans could not have had the courage to wave the swords and guns in their hands at the officers and soldiers.

The people do not fight with the officials, but it is one of the basic survival rules of the people, no matter how fierce Boss Xu is, there is no scary person to come with the officers and soldiers with swords.

If he had known from the beginning that Boss Xu had summoned them to work with the officers and soldiers, these ruffians would have had a stomachache and a long time ago.

What's more, the soldiers and generals of the Wei State Mansion all acted as the "leading party", and these guards had bad brains to defend the iron field and Boss Xu with their lives.

Therefore, the control and reception of the iron yard was carried out completely in a peaceful state, except for the negligible resistance in the process of capturing the owner Xu Yuan, the only casualty in the whole operation was the tragic death of the Guogong Mansion soldiers under the seventh uncle and grandfather.

That guy was unlucky to be unlucky at the wrong time to pee.

However, this state of peace was certainly beneficial to Gonggong Wei's takeover of the iron field, but it also caused the mentality that those overseers did not take this matter seriously.

In fact, the vast majority of these people are "neutral".

In their opinion, no matter whether the surname of this iron field is Guogong or the surname of the eunuch, it is all a matter above, and it has something to do with them. But no matter what the last name is, someone must continue to be in charge of overseeing the miners.

Those underbeaten donkeys, without a leather whip to follow, which one works diligently?

So, there's nothing to worry about, change the owner, what should the big guy do.

Some prison leaders even discussed whether the big guy pooled money to honor the new eunuch. Looking at this posture, the big guy will have to beg for food under the eunuchs in the future, and this rule must be done, and it cannot be saved.

What kind of virtue does a eunuch have, I haven't seen it, I've always heard of storytellers.

The overseers and thugs are collectively "neutral", and more is better than less, and the miners are purely lively.

Eunuch Dou Guogong, dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair!

Xu Yuan's bastard is bad to death, this new eunuch is a good person?

Driven by this collective mentality, the miners consciously wandered outside the struggle for "seizing power" in the iron yard from the very beginning, and no one believed in it or supported it.

They don't support it, but Grandpa Wei needs their support.

It was precisely because he discovered the rejection and even hatred of his old man by the miner's porter that his father-in-law specially ordered someone to arrange this scene.

In the eyes of others, these miners are mere coolies, worthless except for heavy and menial work. But in the eyes of his father-in-law, these people are treasures.

They will be one of the best sources of replenishment of soldiers in the Ming Imperial Army.

History tells Wei Gonggong that whether it is an army composed of miners, coal diggers, or charcoal burners, all of them are strong armies that dominate the world.

Among them, the most typical representative is the Taiping Army, which is composed of charcoal burners and miners in Guangxi.

The super combat effectiveness and fighting spirit displayed by the Guangxi miners (charcoal) workers in the early battles of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were absolutely shocking.

Seven people crushed thousands of Qing demons into an army, no matter whether it is placed at home or abroad, it is a miracle in military history.

In addition to the Taiping Army, it belongs to the Qi family army composed of Yiwu miners.

You must know that because of the mining explosion, the miners are more familiar with gunpowder than ordinary people, so they are not afraid of guns and artillery, which is very advantageous on the battlefield. Other soldiers would turn around and run away when they heard the sound of the cannons, but they didn't, because they heard too much.

The organization and discipline of the miners are even more than ordinary people, and with a little reorganization, they can quickly form an army with clear orders and strict military discipline.

With such a good soldier, how could Gonggong Wei, who was worried about the expansion of the Imperial Army's Marine Division, let it go.

The father-in-law had this account in his heart, and on the premise of not affecting the iron production of the Liyang Iron Yard, he could take away one-third of the miners and porters to expand the imperial army.

And the shortfall will be immediately replenished by the young people who have nothing to do around and are eager to support their families, which forms a virtuous circle.

It is conservatively estimated that every year, Gonggong Wei can get at least about 2,000 soldiers from the Liyang Iron Yard and its surrounding mines and workshops.

In this way, there is a much-needed raw material for raw wrought iron, and my father-in-law has to go to great lengths to win the hearts of these miners.

Of course, there can't be Yang Xiuqing among them.

How to let these miners and porters be used by his Wei father-in-law, or to worship his Wei father-in-law as the boss, the ordinary favor is obviously not available, and the only way to sacrifice the "mass meeting" is the magic weapon of the class struggle.

In the silence, the father-in-law Orchid Xiu pinched the white handkerchief with his fingers, got up and walked to the front, and slowly glanced at the miners who were looking at him in astonishment.

"Who's coming first!"
