But now this misunderstanding has made Zhu Jinglun get a treasure, he doesn't need mines here, but Seng Greenqin definitely needs it, when the British and French forces hit the mouth of Dagu, imagine that there are hundreds of mines buried under the water, Zhu Jinglun began to look forward to it when he thought about it.

So he immediately instructed the arsenal to immediately start mass production of mines, and the production of a thousand mines was also to be produced.

Zhu Jinglun planned to send these good things to the monk king through Bai Gui.

He sent someone to send a batch of samples of mines and mines to Bai Gui, and told Bai Gui that he had bought some mines and mines from Swedish merchants in the West, and attached how to use them, and at the same time told Bai Gui that according to the latest confirmed news, the foreigners were about to invade the territory, and the biggest target was Tianjue, hoping that this batch of tribute mines could play a role.

He was still very willing to do this kind of thing to curry favor with the emperor, and immediately sent these mines and mines to the capital, and at the same time sent the news that the foreigners were about to invade.

The emperor asked the monk to try it out in Kunming Lake, and after blowing up several wooden boats one after another, the monk was very satisfied with the power of these mines, so he immediately asked Baigui to pay tribute to more mines.

In fact, there were similar inventions in ancient China, of course, it could not be compared to the mines invented by Emanuel, who frightened off the Anglo-French fleet that was planning to invade St. Petersburg from the water in the Crimean War between Britain and France against Russia. But if the Chinese can continue to improve, who knows that the inventions of the ancients will not develop to the same level as the West.

Similarly, there is a gap in the power of gunpowder, Westerners have been unremittingly improving the formula of gunpowder for hundreds of years, while the Chinese have rarely changed the formula of their ancestors, and the current gunpowder power of the Qing army is definitely not much greater than the gunpowder produced by the formula recorded in Qi Jiguang's military book.

Most of the craftsmen still keep the mantra of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, the Westerners have been accurate to the proportion to the decimal point, the difference in materials is greater, the gunpowder weapons of the Ming Dynasty were finally defeated by the bow and horse riding of the Eight Banners, a big reason is that the manufacture is shoddy, the traditional official workshop, the officials deduct the material money, shoddy, and the supervision is not strict, resulting in the continuous explosion of the musket, the soldiers do not dare to use it at all, and they do not give full play to the advantages of the weapon, but let the later Qing Dynasty people have the illusion that firearms are useless.

The Manchu workshops were no more efficient than those of the Ming Dynasty, so their gunpowder power was inferior to the more precise recipes, stricter materials, and industrialized factory products of the Westerners.

That's why Seng Lingqin felt that the power of these mines was unimaginable, and he wanted more mines, so that Zhu Jinglun's arsenal could earn the first pot of gold since the start of construction.

This is all later, Zhu Jinglun gave Bai Gui's sample Bai Gui to pay tribute to the emperor, but Bai Gui is not interested in these things, he is more concerned about the people of Guangdong, the situation in Xiangshan and Dongguan counties makes him annoyed, it is said that there has been a large-scale fight, Bai Gui asked Zhu Jinglun to leave for the two counties immediately to deal with it.

It is almost a rule that the long-term unorganized gathering of ordinary people will inevitably evolve into large-scale conflicts in the end.

Because people are with people, it is impossible not to have contradictions, a single person fights, it is great to have fewer arms and legs, and the impact is not great, but if hundreds of people fight with hundreds of people, it will be different, group conflicts cannot be controlled at all, there are always misses, one side misses, the other side will retaliate, so once the group fight starts, it will be extraordinarily bloody and long-lasting.

But now this is the phenomenon, the common people gathered, did not form a unified organization, the local government in this scale of the group gathered, and afraid to interfere, it is equivalent to letting this unorganized situation, in the end there must be a large-scale fight, Xiangshan County is the most serious, killed and injured more than 30 people, the county order was so frightened that he personally ran to Guangzhou to ask for guilt, which made Bai Gui give a strict order, so that Zhu Jinglun was not allowed to refuse, and immediately went to the two counties to deal with the matter.

Seeing that it can't be delayed, I can only let go of the things here in Xin'an first.

The villagers of Xin'an were all sent back to the countryside, and then Zhu Jinglun split his army, transferred a hundred brave soldiers with the best level and had been promoted to grassroots officers from Hou Jin's men, arranged for them to be stationed in various places, stationed in markets and small towns, and then recruited the strongest young men from the village warriors in the surrounding villages, issued them guns, and conducted training.

For Xiang Yong, Zhu Jinglun sent people to recruit and distribute military salaries is very tempting, no one can refuse a military salary of 5 taels of silver a month, plus they are all organized to protect their families and defend their land anyway, and they are all the same as being a soldier in the government and being a village warrior in the village, and there is money to take, so fools don't do it.

In the face of this kind of attraction, the requirements such as letting their clan as a guarantor are just a piece of cake, as their patriarch and squire and others, they have already been named in the convention, and they don't care about the fact that they can earn military salaries for the descendants of the clan, so they quickly divided the 100 people, and no one recruited another 100 people, Zhu Jinglun's army snowballed to 10,000 people, and the 10,000 rifles originally prepared for those who were fighting with the Tuke were used in advance.

The feedback was very smooth, and Zhu Jinglun had nothing to let go, and immediately set off under the urging of Fu Li.

Go to Xiangshan County on the opposite side first, he is not alone, not to mention Fuli, but also invited a large group of clan chiefs and squires.

As a neighboring county, these squires can also exert influence, as for the clan, Xin'an's clan also has in Xiangshan, there are also in Dongguan, and the Shajing Chen family has clansmen in Shunde and Dongguan, all of whom worship an ancestral hall. The Zhang family, who controls the Shenzhen Market, was originally a branch brought over from Dongguan. There are also families like the Zeng family and the Huang family, which have branches among the Cantonese people and the Hakka people.

Therefore, it is easy for these people led by Zhu Jinglun to find their own clansmen in the opposite county, which is not just a common surname, but usually has contacts, and they have a close relationship, worship the ancestral court together, and think that they are a family clan, so it is much easier for them to convince their own people than Zhu Jinglun to convince them.

It's just that at this time, several arms fights have broken out in Xiangshan County, and bigger arms fights are still brewing, both sides are calling friends, and one is not careful will make a tragedy of the scale of Tuke fights, which is also the reason why the county order ran to Guangzhou to ask for guilt, and Bai Gui ignored Zhu Jinglun's various shirks and forced him to deal with it.

Since the outbreak of the fight, in fact, the county order has been uncontrollable, and it is difficult for him to even gather the squires together, let alone let the families go back to the village.

But Zhu Jinglun is different, he not only came by himself, but also brought a thousand musketeers, and acted outside Xiangshan County for three consecutive days.

But it's not over yet, there have been fights, and after all the families have died, it's not so simple, because this has developed into hatred, and hatred is irrational, and it is not clear who is right and who is wrong. At this time, the method of playing 30 boards is not effective, and Zhu Jinglun does not dare to use it, at this time, it is not that they each take a step back and open the sky, and both sides are dissatisfied with Zhu Jinglun.

Therefore, Zhu Jinglun simply asked the families to go back, the government of the dead gave funeral expenses, and the government of the injured paid for treatment, and promised to exempt them from two taxes a year, so that he could barely persuade the thousands of people who gathered together to fight in groups on both sides, as long as they returned to the countryside, it would be much easier.

Zhu Jinglun did not have a deep foundation in Xiangshan, and he did not plan to recruit Xiangshan soldiers for the time being, so he just sent some people here to keep an eye on the nearby villages in various markets, and did not plan to recruit people.

It took ten days to solve the problem of Xiangshan County, and Zhu Jinglun still went to Dongguan when the county and town had not been completely withdrawn, and the county order twice and repeatedly hoped that he would stay.

The situation in Dongguan is easier, the fighting here is scattered, has not been divided into two factions, plus Dongguan and Xin'an land connection, the villagers here are more family, Xin'an was originally divided from Dongguan, the Ming Dynasty was separated, and the clans here have multiplied for hundreds of years and thousands of years, so the two clans have never been separated, this relationship will not be divided with the division of political regions, because their ties are in the blood, in the emotions and culture.

So it only took three days to gather all the squires and clans together for a meeting, sign a convention, and then start a smooth division and dismissal, and on the fifth day, Zhu Jinglun could leave.

It's such a simple thing, but because the two county orders are worried about taking responsibility, they have been delaying, which has led to a fight.

For Zhu Jinglun, it was a gesture, he did not sign these two times, but he forced the two county orders to be named, but there is no doubt that Zhu Jinglun, who presided over the entire contract process, left a deep and good impression in front of the squires of the two counties.

After this incident, at least in the three counties of the Pearl River Estuary, Zhu Jinglun is known to everyone.

I thought that I could be idle, and then deal with the upcoming attack of the British and French forces with peace of mind, but who knew that something happened to Xinhui again, and Xinhui's resistance to land cession was not very strong, and even Bai Gui didn't let himself deal with it, and the local magistrate dismissed the matter.

But the problem is that the countryside has been completely mobilized once, just like boiling water, which is completely different from the raw water of the past.

At this time, the young people in the countryside really did not have any discipline, but they already had a rough organization.

It's as if Xin'an and Dongguan used to be a county, the relationship between the two gentry is complicated, the in-laws are continuous, the same clan and the same clan, Xinhui and Heshan are also, half of the land in Heshan was only separated from Xinhui during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, such as the ancient Laodu where the Hakka people gathered, which was separated from Xinhui.

Therefore, after the Heshan Tuke fight, there are a large number of local people who ran to Xinhui in L County, the poor are indeed the most miserable, people are helpless and helpless, but the landlords are much better, they even have land in Xinhui, and they can still live, but whether it is a landlord or a tenant, on the issue of losing land, they are the same enemy, the squire, the landlord class organizes and trains the group exercises, and the poor who have no livelihood, the first is to eat together, and the second is also very eager to go back to their hometowns. At least there are a few dilapidated houses in his house to shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain.

Therefore, in the counties around the Hakka people, including Xinhui, as well as Yangjiang, and even Foshan and other surrounding counties, the local people are gathering strength.

By the beginning of this year, the strength of the natives had almost accumulated, and then Xinhui Zhixian ordered the township Yong to return to his hometown, and under the contact of several township warriors, he suddenly killed Heshan, and the Tuke weapon fought the Turen counteroffensive stage began.

The sudden outbreak of large-scale armed fights attracted the attention of the county commanders of Xinhui and Heshan counties, and their documents were sent to Guangzhou like snowflakes.

Bai Gui couldn't help but sigh, these county orders were all wine bags and rice bags, and at the same time, he had great trust in Zhu Jinglun's ability to do things, and even believed that Zhu Jinglun could easily solve the two Tuke families who had been fighting for four or five years.
