Chapter 693: Controlling the Situation (Two Chapters in One)
When the two countries are at war, they salute first and then war, because they salute first, maybe they can turn each other into jade silk, so as to eliminate a war, but if the two countries negotiate peace, then they must first salute, because only when they gain an advantage on the battlefield can they take the initiative in negotiations.
Yu Dayou obviously understood this, so he ordered the two Franc cannons to start at full speed, and eight shells were fired in thirty seconds, all of which fell around the pit, and in order to achieve the effect of deterrence, they were all flowering shells.
The destructive power of the flowering shell is not as good as that of the solid bullet, but the scene of the explosion is more shocking, and the killing range is larger, because the shell hides a large amount of iron fragments, and the explosion is a waterfall and pear-like covering blow.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Eight flowering bombs exploded one after another around the pit, instantly raising eight dust heads, and the broken stone and iron pieces exploded in all directions, hitting the mountain rocks with a clanging sound, and a small number of miners guarding the perimeter of the fortifications were swept by the iron pieces of rubble, and they fell to the ground screaming on the spot.
In an instant, the entire pit was covered by the smoke and dust that spread out, and the villagers led by Chen Dacheng were all shocked when they saw this, Emma, why are the two guns of the officers and soldiers so fierce? If eight shells had landed in the pit, how many people would have to be killed or wounded!
After nearly five minutes, the smoke and dust on the hillside dissipated, and the miners who were hiding behind the fortifications just now were gone, and they were all so frightened that they fell down with their heads in their hands at this moment, including the three leaders of Lu Shishi, Yang Song, and Wang Rulong.
At the bottom of the hillside, Yu Dayou waved his hand and led 50 people to the mine, while his deputy Su Qing led 50 musketeers to cover 10 meters behind, and the remaining 200 soldiers stayed at the bottom of the hillside to suppress the formation.
"The officers and soldiers are attacking!" A miner in charge of watching the wind shouted nervously when he saw this.
Thousands of miners guarding the pit suddenly became disturbed and uneasy, and they were not afraid to fight with the villagers, but at this time, it was the officers and soldiers who attacked, and the complicity and rebellion such as killing them would inevitably attract more officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress.
Lu Shishi, Yang Song, and Wang Rulong looked down and saw that the officers and soldiers were really coming up to the mine, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Yang Song was originally a bandit, a wanted criminal by the government, so he naturally didn't take the killing of officials seriously, and said in a cruel voice: "If you don't do it, we won't stop it, anyway, we even deducted the county order, I'm afraid of a ball, fuck them, and when they get closer, they will push the rolling stone down and kill them." β
Wang Rulong, the head of the mine, shook his head and said: "Wait, the officers and soldiers didn't aim at the pit just now, and the whole army didn't rush up at this time, it doesn't look like an attack, let's take a look first." β
At this time, there were more than 3,000 people in the pit, and 2,000 of them were mixed with Wang Rulong, so Wang Rulong's words carried a lot of weight, and Lu Shishi and Yang Song had to give up three points.
At this time, Yu Dayou and Feng Laoliu had already come to the position of seven or eight meters below the fortifications of the mine, and raised their voices: "I am Yu Dayou, a guerrilla general under the command of Lord Xu, the governor of Zhizhejiang. β
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were not going to attack, but to negotiate, Lu Shishi, Yang Song, and Wang Rulong were all inexplicably relieved.
"Boss Lu, how big an official is the governor of Zhizhejiang?" Wang Rulong asked in a low voice, he is a poor miner, the biggest official he has seen in this generation is only the prefect, obviously he doesn't know what the governor is.
Lu Shishiyuan was a salt merchant who traveled south and north, and his knowledge was naturally much stronger, and he said awe-inspiringly: "The governor is bigger than the political envoy of Zhejiang, and even the governor, who is in charge of the army and the government on the horse, and holds the military and political power of several provinces (note: the power of the governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty radiates to the south of Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi)"
Wang Rulong and Yang Song gasped when they heard this, why did this matter even alarm such a big official?
Lu Shishi was also nervous at the moment, the reason why this goods persevered with the local villagers was indeed greedy at the beginning, and later it was mixed with vindictiveness and revenge, because when he came to steal the mine for the second time, he was killed by the villagers, and the dead included several of his direct and collateral relatives.
However, at this time, I heard that the governor of Zhizhejiang was alarmed, and Lu Shishi couldn't help but regret it a little, what kind of person is the governor of Zhizhejiang? With several provincial soldiers and horses in hand, it is easy to eat tofu if you want to destroy these thousands of people.
"Who is the head of the mine, Rulong, who is a hero, come out and talk to Ben Jiang face to face, don't fucking hide and be a shrunken turtle!" Yu Dayou waited for a while and didn't respond, so he directly called out his name.
Wang Rulong was stunned for a moment, this person can get the support of other miners, in addition to preaching righteousness, he is also quite brave, at this time the officers and soldiers directly insulted the name, he naturally can't show his cowardice in front of the brothers, so he stood up suddenly, jumped on a big stone beside him and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is Wang Rulong, you fucking fart if you let it go." β
"Brother Wang is doing well!" The miners immediately applauded the boss.
Wang Rulong is about in his early thirties, with a medium build, but very strong, and his skin is black and shiny, which is commonly known as "black charcoal head".
"Hey, this guy is quite dragged, but it's kind of." Feng Lao Liu said with a smile.
Yu Dayou looked at Wang Rulong again, and nodded, as if the customer who bought livestock in the market saw a satisfied livestock.
Just when Wang Rulong was confused, Yu Dayou shouted: "Wang Rulong, I heard that you actually detained Zhao Dahe, the commander of Yiwu County, do you want to rebel?" Quickly let Zhao Zhixian go, and leave Babaoshan with your people, you would have been able to avoid the past. β
Lu Shishi and Yang Song couldn't help but be anxious when they heard this, if Wang Rulong took people away, then how could they still mix, and they all flashed out of the bunker in a hurry. Yang Song played with a flying knife in his hand, and said gloomily: "Yu Dayou, right? Which green onion are you, you said that if you release people, you will release people, have you asked Lao Tzu? β
Yu Dayou glanced at it quietly, and saw that this guy was playing with a flying knife with a cold light, it should be the bandit Yang Song, and the other person was estimated to be the initiator Lu Shishi.
Yu Dayou ignored Yang Song, but continued to say to Wang Rulong: "Wang Kuangtou, I heard that you are also a character in Yongkang County, but I didn't think that you were a fool. β
Wang Rulong couldn't help but widen his eyes angrily, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard Yu Dayou say again: "Could it be that Ben Jiang is wrong?" Lu Shishi mixed the silver sand into the mine sand, but you are still an experienced mine head, you can't even see this, and you still believe it, and take your brothers here to toss around, and in the end the silver was not dug up, and the brothers gave their lives in vain. You say you're not a fool! β
As soon as these words came out, Wang Rulong's expression suddenly became unnatural, but Lu Shishi and Yang Song looked ugly.
In fact, Yu Dayou's words are inevitably biased, although Wang Rulong is a miner, he has never dug silver before, and it is because of this that he was easily coaxed by Lu Shishi. However, now Wang Rulong has been mining in Babao Mountain for nearly half a month, but he has found nothing so far, so he is also suspicious, but he has worked hard and injured so many brothers, and finally got nothing, how can he be willing, so he has been stubbornly self-comforting, and he may be able to dig deeper to get silver.
It is worth mentioning here that there is actually no silver mine in Babao Mountain, and only a kind of dongdong called glowstone is produced here, which can emit silver light, so it is mistaken for silver ore.
Besides, Lu Shishi and Yang Song seemed to be a little shaken when they saw Wang Rulong, and they couldn't help but be anxious, the former hurriedly cursed: "Brother Wang, the contemptible person definitely didn't lie to you, those silver sand were indeed dug up here, as long as we dig deeper, we will definitely be able to dig silver mines." β
Yang Song also sneered and said: "The surname Yu, don't sow discord here, if you want to deceive us, no way!" β
Lu Shishi immediately said loudly: "Exactly, Babaoshan also has a part of Yongkang County, why let the Yiwu people monopolize it, and everyone will make it rich, otherwise they will be scattered." β
Chen Dacheng said it well, Lu Shishi was really full of bad water, and in a few words, he led the focus of the topic elsewhere, and used this to provoke regional contradictions, trying to get by.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Shishi's words came out, Wang Rulong's expression immediately became firm again, and he said coldly: "Yu Dayou, you fucking little chirp here, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, let us let Zhao Zhixian go, unless the Yiwu people don't come to stop us from mining." If they are red-eyed, they can dig elsewhere by themselves, Babao Mountain is so big, no one should get in the way, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water. β
Yu Dayou frowned and said, "Regardless of whether there is a silver mine here or not, it is against the law of the country to mine privately." β
Yang Song threw away the flying knife, and said for a long time: "Don't talk to Lao Tzu about the law of the country, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, whoever digs up the treasure buried in the ground will belong to whomever it is, and it is justified, and Lao Tzu, the king of heaven, can't care about it." β
"Su Qing!" Yu Dayou shouted, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard three gunshots, and the bandit Yang Song, who was good at hurting people with flying knives, was bleeding in his chest on the spot, and fell down from the rocks, dead ball!
Although the arquebus is ignited by the arquebus, it does not need to use the fire fold, because the arquebus has been lit in advance, due to the material, the arquebus burns very slowly, there is almost no smoke, especially during the day, there is no spark at all, but the arquebus is actually burning, as long as the board machine is buckled, the arquebus head will be inserted into the fire door to ignite the gunpowder and fire the bullet.
Although Yang Song had seen the muskets of the Ming army, he had never seen the arquebuses of Westerners, and he did not expect that the things held by the soldiers could be ignited immediately without using fire folds, so he was shot three times before he had time to react, and he died no longer able to die, and the terrifying flying knife could not play any role.
Yang Song was suddenly killed, Wang Rulong and Lu Shishi were taken aback and hurriedly hid back in the bunker.
Yu Dayou would not let go of such a good opportunity, and at the sound of an order, fifty people behind him drew their knives and quickly pressed them, and fifty musketeers also raised their guns to aim, as long as any miners dared to throw stones to block the attack, they immediately shot without hesitation.
Under the cover of muskets, Yu Dayou and other fifty people quickly attacked the pit and took control of the outer fortifications, and then the musketeers also attacked.
Wang Rulong was shocked and angry, roared and led his brothers to fight back, trying to drive Yu Dayou and others down, but because of the terrain, the miners could not give full play to the advantage of numbers, coupled with the overwhelming advantage of the officers and soldiers in equipment, it was obviously impossible for them to repel the officers and soldiers in a short time.
The two hundred soldiers who stayed behind saw that the boss had used force, and immediately rushed up, and Chen Dacheng also decisively led the villagers to assist, so soon, the fortifications of the pit were completely broken.
Yu Dayou shouted: "Wang Rulong, don't resist stubbornly, the brothers are here to make a fortune with you, not to die." β
Wang Rulong was also simply, seeing that the general trend was gone, he threw the iron drill in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone stop, stop fighting." β
Seeing this, those miners also stopped and watched, Wang Rulong walked to Yu Dayou, stretched his hands forward to be bound, and said in a deep voice: "All the blame is borne by me, don't affect others." β
Yu Dayou did not tie up Wang Rulong, but asked Lu Shishi, who was hiding in the corner, to be escorted over, and the musket was held against his head to threaten him, and the businessman finally admitted that he mixed the silver sand into the sand and coaxed Wang Rulong.
Wang Rulong and his miners couldn't help but be furious when they heard the fact that Lu Shishi personally admitted to the fraud. They came here from Yongkang County over the mountains and mountains, wasted more than half a month, killed and injured hundreds of people, and finally learned that the so-called silver mine was fake, so can you not be angry?
"Bastard, there's still a brother's life!"
"Shoot him!"
Soon, LΓΌ 14 was beaten to death by the miners who were carried away by anger, and even LΓΌ 14's entourage and the gangster Yang Song's comrades were killed one after another. Yu Dayou didn't stop it, and he couldn't stop this group of angry miners who lost their minds.
After killing more than a dozen people, a group of miners finally vented their anger, turned to sit on the ground and hugged their heads and cried, they came with the dream of making a fortune, brought their own food and tools over the mountains and mountains, but wasted nearly a month, but in the end they found nothing, and some even lost relatives and friends, which is the sadness that comes from this moment.
Wang Rulong's eyes were red, and his heart was full of regret, now it was the middle of August, and soon the cold winter was coming, and the brothers followed him to not only earn no money, but also lost the capital. Thinking of his wife and children who were about to starve and freeze at home, Wang Rulong's heart was like a knife, and he squatted down and held his head in pain, letting out a low roar like a beast.
Seeing this, Chen Dacheng and other local villagers had much less hostility on their faces, and a few village women with kitchen knives even showed sympathy. Yu Dayou nodded secretly when he saw this, so it seems that although the villagers here are fierce and brave, they are also the masters who love and hate.
At this time, a grizzled seven-grade official walked over quickly, it was the detained Yiwu County Commander Zhao Dahe, he walked in front of Yu Dayou and arched his hand: "This official is the county commander Zhao Dahe, I have seen General Yu!" β
Yu Dayou glanced at the square-looking Zhao County Commander, and said politely: "Lord Zhao is polite." β
The two were politely intertwined, and Wang Rulong, who was holding his head and blaming himself in pain, suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't leave, we have to continue digging." β
