There is a small detachment of the Liuqiu Guards in Zaozhuang County, and the total number of people is only fifty-one. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since this is a newly established county seat, the number of permanent residents and mobile people is not large, so the guard of fifty-one people is enough.

That night, when they heard reports of riots in the coal mining area from those who had fled, everyone immediately gathered in the barracks and made basic preparations overnight.

The squad leader here discussed with his assistant and decided to act in accordance with the established policy, focusing on defending Zaozhuang County...... After all, this is the essence of the whole region!

Lao Gui, one of the owners of the coal mine, cried and said: "There are dozens of dollars in cash and thousands of bills of exchange in the mine, which are the money for the coke that has just been sold, and it has not yet had time to be delivered!"

Go and get them away, what are you doing here?! ”

The squad leader comforted him and said, "Don't panic...... We have sent people to reconnoitre, and we have reported to our superiors, and the team will arrive in a day at the latest...... Naturally, they will be gone! ”

His assistant looked at Lao Gui with tears and snot on his face, and looked down on him, but he didn't say it explicitly, after all, he was a taxpayer.

He kindly said, "What are you afraid of?!" The money order can't be exchanged for cash at the money bank here, how can they spend it with just the money order!?

Those dozens of dollars are worth your crying?! ”

Lao Gui immediately figured it out, but if he cares, it's messy!

He was relieved, but he still said stiffly: "What about the newly bought equipment?" What if they destroy it? And what about the skilled craftsmen? What if you get hurt by them? ”

If the coal mine is dug deeper, there will always be a large amount of groundwater gushing out, and the groundwater level in this time and space is high.

At that time, they received great help from the island of Liuqiu.

The machine processing plant in Badaohe on Liuqiu Island specially sent them a coal mine pump!

This thing is very useful for mining, and it suddenly increases the output a lot.

At the same time, the underground coal digging operation also needs a certain amount of driving force, and they also get the pot camel steam power engine at the same time.

These machinery and equipment are specially processed by the Liuqiu Badaohe Machinery Processing Plant for such coal mines...... The processing time is tighter, and the cost of these equipment is not low, because it is specially designed for coal mines, which delays the processing of other more cost-effective equipment.

But in order to ensure that the production of coal is increased in the first place, their machining project can only focus on coal, and it can be said responsibly that in this period of charcoal energy leap to coal energy, Badaohe Machinery Processing Plant has made a great contribution.

At this time, it can not be counted as an economic account, these equipment can be paid in installments, and it can also be topped up with the coal produced.

In the eyes of many workshop owners, this is akin to giving for nothing...... This shows how urgent the demand for coal is on the island.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the demand for coal in the Great Song Dynasty also skyrocketed, it would be enough for the current coal production...... But the current situation is that what Liuqiu Island needs, those handicraft workshops in the Great Song Dynasty also need!

Coal, lead, copper, tin and other non-ferrous metals have been bought at auction in both places...... The only consolation is that the demand for steel is still stable, and the growth rate of production in the two places can match the growth rate of demand.

In terms of industrial size, the island was not as large as the Great Song Dynasty, which had a large number of handicraft workshops, so they had to invest in machinery and equipment in order to increase productivity.

Those valuable equipment were forcibly squeezed out of production capacity to process, and they could not sell it at a high price, and they were in a state of shortage.

So, for these mine owners, the equipment may be more important than the craftsmen!

But when the squad leader and his assistant heard this, they both sneered and said, "Let's not talk about whether the mob understands those mechanical equipment...... In the current situation, with the protection of Zaozhuang County as the first priority, how can I beg the members of the guard to exchange their lives for those iron equipment? ? ”

What the two of them mean is that nothing in the world is more important than the lives of their team members!

The next day, just after dawn, they set up a defense outside the county town, and of course they also sent scouts early to closely monitor the movements of the rioting laborers.

Just as they were beginning to build a simple defensive line, hundreds of young men in various costumes came to report one after another.

They carried bows and arrows and all sorts of knives and spears, and they were originally servants of the big merchants.

A few big people who took the lead said: "If those mobs are allowed to harm Zaozhuang County, of course, I will wait for the biggest damage...... Why don't you fight it here! ”

The news of the mob's occupation of coal mines and other places has already spread throughout Zaozhuang County, and the big families, especially those who have built warehouses and shops here, have taken the initiative to protect their property!

One is that they believed in the strength of the Liuqiu Guard, and knew that the cavalry from other places would soon arrive, and the traffic was already quite good at that time.

The second is that they all have their own weapons in their hands.

At this time, weapons control was still practiced in the places under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty and the Tatar bandit group...... However, Liuqiu Island and Shandong did not practice it, but anyone could hold any cold weapon at will.

Of course, Zhang Guoan is confident that their guards and patrols are far more powerful than the troublemakers with cold weapons.

Everyone can have cold weapons, but in fact they may be more threatening to the troublemakers!

For example, in Liuqiu Island, there have indeed been incidents of armed injuries and killings, but there have been no large-scale mass incidents at present...... When a troublemaker threatens others, he also has to consider the ability of the other party to resist.

In fact, it is only in a more just social system that members are allowed to carry weapons......

Men in the Zaozhuang area were also allowed to carry cold weapons, which made several shops more protected...... Even they dared to go out of the city to fight side by side with the Liuqiu Guards.

The other side is just a mob of 1,800 people, and we have the Liuqiu Guards, with guns and artillery!

There are also high rewards for large merchants!

On top of that, their own home is also here......

Of course, to be able to organize so quickly, the magistrate of Zaozhuang County also has credit.

When he heard about the labor riots, he was so frightened that he jumped up! He had a vague feeling that this might have something to do with him!!

He found his brother-in-law overnight and asked him to organize the young men in the construction team, promise a high price, and let them take the initiative to participate in the defense...... At the same time, it also connects powerful businessmen, some people come out, there are things out, there are money to pay, this is our Zaozhuang County!

If this place is taken by the mob, we all have a loss!

Large businesses only need to organize, and do not need to do ideological work...... It's just that some people complain about why the walls weren't built in the first place...... This is already nonsense, complaining is complaining, everyone has to do what they can, after all, everyone has a lot of benefits here.

Of course, some small traders took the package and ran away...... People like them have never entered the eyes of the county magistrate of Zaozhuang, and such people are by no means the mainstream here.

After he organized the young and strong personnel to help in the war, he immediately went to manage the logistics, and he insisted on it for at least one day, he knew it in his heart.

The squad leader and his assistant were so satisfied with the current situation that they even thought about taking the initiative!
