While these people were shouting and shouting, under the leadership of the deputy officer, Lu Dafu and the others leaned on the cart with their backs, forming a semi-circular formation.

Two men were at the front, three pikemen retreated slightly in the middle, protecting the wings, and three gunners began to reload.

Lu Dafu was also loading, although he was surrounded by dozens of tiger scoundrels with knives and guns, his heart was full of excitement, and he didn't shake his hands when loading.

This is a good opportunity to defend the parents of your companions, to have fewer enemies and more enemies, and to subdue the opponent who is against Yusheng...... Lu Dafu actually intended to stir up trouble, but he thought that the opportunity was rare and could not be let go!

……

The merchant group is not stationed in Lingqiu City, but there are two bureaus and a flag team stationed in the town under the iron field, many people in this town are the families of miners, and some are businessmen who come from other places to buy iron, most of the iron in Lingqiu is now supplied to Jingshi, and the small half is supplied to the market in Shanxi and Henan, because Li Zhuang has increased the production progress of ironware, which has led to the supply of iron in Lingqiu is also very tight, Cai Jiu has selected people to go to the iron field in Zunhua, and re-open the construction of similar Lingqiu Iron Yard there, as long as half a year to a year later, The output of the Zunhua iron yard will also return to the level of several million catties, after all, the iron yard there is only closed because the consumption ratio is too high to be economical, not a lack of iron ore.

To the south, there are also large iron-containing ore mining areas in Shandong, which can radiate the markets in Shandong, Henan, northern Jiangsu, and northern Anhui.

With a population of nearly 200 million, a large amount of land, and the folk iron and agricultural tools that need to be used are all heavenly, and Yusheng certainly vowed to grab this market.

The production of iron in Lizhuang may reach the level of several million pieces a year in the next few years, and the entire northern market is almost saturated, and then we can consider developing to the south.

Of course, these things were within the scope of Zhang Han's consideration, and the goal of the merchant group was to protect the safety of the entire iron yard area.

The merchant group here has gone from being chaotic and managed by the proprietors of each iron yard to being unified, including clothing, system, and training, which are on par with Li Zhuang.

This is a high evaluation, in March, because of the increase in the number of officers transferred to the merchant group on Li Zhuang's side, the whole system has been transformed, and the merchant group on the Lingqiu side has also reached the level of more than 1,000 people.

The first division has been determined to be led by Chang Wei, which can be regarded as determining Chang Wei's duties, Chang Wei is not available to stay in Lingqiu for the time being, and Li Zhiye is responsible for the daily management.

The selection of this person was also decided by Zhang Han and Sun Jingting and others, Li is experienced in the industry and is also very cautious, so he is a very suitable candidate.

"Fighting?" Hearing Tangma's report, Li Zhiye did not feel flustered, on the contrary, the proprietors of several iron yards on the side were a little panicked.

"Hit a little bigger, sweep them away, and subdue them." Li Zhiye made a decision in an instant, and immediately gave a military order!

The military horn sounded, the military flag was unfurled, and the members of the merchant group who were on duty all gathered on the school field within the specified time.

"Mr. Li," the proprietor of a chamber of commerce advised, "it is better to retreat from everything, and it seems that such a break does not seem appropriate." ”

"Lian Yong's general regiment is Zhu Zhixian, will we provoke Zhixian? Although Lord Zhang is also very strong, the magistrate is the official ...... of his parents after all."

"You know the!" Li Zhiye still laughed and didn't say anything, but Li Dayong on the side shouted: "Those scoundrels, if you don't beat him, he will bully you more and more, now our strength is to walk sideways in Lingqiu, afraid of a bird!" ”

Li Dayong's temper really rose, and he was obviously closer to He Yusheng, Li Zhiye nodded, he still didn't speak, and maintained the ethics of a professional soldier.

Li Dayong said: "According to the regulations of the merchant group, when the convoy of this association is attacked, the commander of the merchant group can mobilize the merchant group to fight back, without the approval of the council. ”

A few proprietors are just timid and afraid, how can anyone want to open a council, and they vaguely understand that whether it is a bandit or a merchant group, this conflict with the Lian Yong General Group is probably also within Zhang Han's calculations, in this case, why should he be cowardly!

They are all pure businessmen, and businessmen have always swallowed their anger and made money in harmony, so their first reaction is to back down. Since people are asking for money, just let some out. As a result, Li Dayong and Li Zhiye pointed out another path for them, and everyone felt refreshed.

Then Sun Anle came, and dozens of proprietors or shopkeepers who came to buy goods also rushed over from all over the town.

More than 200 soldiers of the merchant group had already stood in line and made preparations, and the banner of the merchant group fluttered in the wind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are supported by the Chamber of Commerce, and we are protecting the property of the Chamber of Commerce and the safety of the proprietors and all the property of the Chamber of Commerce, and Yusheng's convoy is one of the properties of the Chamber of Commerce, and now the personal safety and property of the Chamber of Commerce are threatened, now I order you to run forward and crush all the resistance encountered!"

"For the sake of the Chamber of Commerce, the soldiers of the merchant group, run forward!"

Under Li Zhiye's order, more than 200 soldiers lined up in a neat long column, most of them carried spears, half of them held birds, very few of them held knives and cards, and all of them wore gray military uniforms like those of Li Zhuang's inspection department, and more than 200 people rushed out of the camp gate of the garrison camp and soon appeared on the street.

"Good!" Sun Anle's back was straight, his spirit was still better than back then, and he shouted loudly to strengthen his momentum.

Ma Huaxian and Li Dayong, who rushed to hear the news, looked at each other and felt the joy in each other's eyes.

Merchants have always been the least politically ambitious group in the Ming Dynasty, that is because they really lack power, even the most ordinary gentry or students in the local area have to overpower the rich merchants, pure businessmen really have no status at all. Only when there are talents in the family, people are raised, and even jinshi, and they have successfully transformed into a big family that combines officials and businessmen and businessmen, can we talk about political status.

And with political status and economic strength, it is a very simple matter to influence local government affairs and even business.

Daming said that it was centralized, but the actual political ability was only at the county level, and the control was extremely weak, mainly because the central system was mixed, often consumed in infighting, and the control of the place was weak.

"This is our merchant's armament?"

"Unheard of!"

"But it seems that this is also very good, if we also have such a business group there, those scoundrels, the county masters, and those official gentry, it seems that it is not easy to pressure us too much."

"Alas, where is another Zhang patrol for our group of people? Without the backbone, no bold people come out to provoke, who would dare to do this thing? ”

"If you say that you have bad intentions, then you will wait to destroy your family."

"It doesn't seem to be so serious...... The general group of Lian Yong can be organized, but we businessmen can't start a group? ”

"Lingqiu isn't going to start a group, but we definitely can't get up there, or you try?"

A group of businessmen who came to buy goods also had different thoughts in their hearts and had all kinds of ideas.

……

When Li Zhiye led the team to Lingqiu City, a small-scale weapon fight, or rather a battle, was over.

There were seven corpses of Lian Yong on the ground, there were more than ten or twenty injured Lian Yong, more Lian Yong squatted on the ground, guarded by eight archers with weapons, there were hundreds of thousands of onlookers around, and the city was full of people, and Zhu Qingyu, the magistrate, also rushed over when he heard the news.

When he began to hear the sound of shouting and killing, Zhu Qingyu thought that the bandits were coming back, he was very frightened, and quickly ordered the city gate to be closed and sealed again, and then he climbed to the top of the city, but what he saw was the last bloody scene.

Eight people chased forty or fifty people and beat them violently, the bird guns hit quickly and quickly, and they were accurate, five of the seven people who died were killed by the birds, once they were shot, they rolled in place, some people were hit in the head, some people were hit in the abdomen, and the intestines were broken, and some people were all broken in the arm, and they kept rolling on the ground and screaming, and after half a ring, someone came and stabbed him with a spear in the heart, and the tip of the spear pierced his chest and pierced the heart, and the man was relieved.

There were also two people who were pierced by spears during the initial impact, and these two people died very happily.

Zhu Qingyu is not the first time to see a dead person, as a local parent official, he always goes to the vegetable market to supervise and behead prisoners every year, and it is nothing to see the killing, but the scene in front of him still makes him feel very bloody.

It wasn't purely bloody, it could be a violent impact that made him feel very uncomfortable.

The eight people in front of them were not only very decisive in killing, but also very casual in mending the knife to the seriously injured man, as if they were killing a chicken and a dog.

Although there were only eight of them, they acted decisively, and the action of killing in wartime was simple and efficient, and Lian Yong, who was forty or fifty people, besieged them with knives and guns, and as a result, the side with more people was broken down, and then eight people chased and killed, killing seven people in a row, wounding more than ten people, and capturing most of Lian Yong, and then stopped the movements in his hands.

Zhu Qingyu was thinking unconsciously, if there were eighty people, eight hundred, or more than a thousand people, what would happen?

He asked the master beside him, "You have been to Li Zhuang, are these people the family members of Zhang Patrol?" ”

"It's not." The master said honestly: "Inspector Zhang has no family, his archers are all general practice, there is nothing special, I have seen these people, there is only one deputy officer." ”

The master took the opportunity to show off his knowledge, and said a little about the level of the archers set by the inspection department.

It's not a complicated matter, Zhu Qingyu immediately understood.
