The distance of twenty miles is not close, for a sturdy farmer or a well-trained soldier, it is only a distance to reach it with a few swings of arms and legs, but for these ruffians in the city, the distance of twenty miles is enough for them, and the team of about a hundred people is actually dragged and dragged for almost a mile.

In this way, Uncle Chang, who was sitting in the light carriage, was still very satisfied: "It's really mighty......" In his imagination, Shi Guogong, who marched into Longxi in the past, and King Yue E, who overcame Youzhou, were just like that.

Long Tao, who was trotting all the way under the carriage, pointed to the front: "Master Chang, the front is the mining area." Do you think you should gather the team first and then go in? ”

Chang Bancheng has only fought a few times in his life when he followed the hooligans to grab land on the street, all because of his bloody courage after drinking too much. I don't know anything about marching and fighting, arranging troops, and the only bit of perceptual cognition comes from the mouth of the storyteller in the teahouse theater. At this moment, he regarded himself as the incarnation of Changshan Zhao Zilong: "Haven't you heard of the speed of the soldiers, haven't you heard of the surprise attack on it." Sons, go with me as a thief! ”

With that, he stood on the carriage, brandished a folding fan, reveled in his "immortal general" demeanor, and took the lead in rushing into the mud walls of the mining area.

Because the mining area has to transport coal day and night, the gate is very wide, the ground is very flat, and the horse-drawn carriage accelerates a bit of a tiger and a tiger, which makes Uncle Chang feel that it is quite good.

The "rangers and bravers" behind him also saw the gate of the factory, and also saw the gas lamps that illuminated the factory as bright as day, and they were all like seeing a woman without clothes, and they were about to rush forward.

Speaking of Uncle Chang's first expedition, it was not completely fruitless, they rushed straight to the dining room, where only the women and children, the old and the weak, the young and middle-aged people had gone to the wellhead to help, and the women here were busy making supper for the men who had gone down the well to dig the cave-in passage overnight to replenish their strength.

Uncle Chang broke into a group of women with great might, smashed the pot stove with horseshoe, kicked over the steamer, and scared a group of old people and children to run around.

"Haha, haha, it's so fun!" Uncle Chang instructed the coachman; "Give Lao Tzu another turn!"

"Gotcha!" The one who can be a coachman for Uncle Chang is obviously also a raccoon dog, this guy shook the reins, ran the carriage for a half circle, and rammed around this dining room.

Just as Uncle Chang showed that he was as heroic as a mortal against the unarmed gods, his backup could be regarded as rushing to arrive.

These scoundrels, seeing the nests scattered all over the ground and the big girls and little daughters-in-law screaming everywhere, all felt more courageous, and they were about to rush forward.

Uncle Chang stood on the carriage and held on to the iron railing: "These are all mobs, take them all down for me!" ”

The wolves got the order, the sticks were lost, the rattan helmets were gone, and the little daughter-in-law was dragged to the corner, and they were even more anxious, eager to start doing things on the edge of the stove.

If a gray-haired old man dared to come over and ruin the good deeds of the masters, then there would be a club and a hard foot.

Uncle Chang stood tall, looking at this scene, he couldn't help laughing, feeling that since ancient times, martial arts have flourished, and I am afraid that there is nothing more than this.

He was rejoicing, but he did not expect a stone to be thrown over, and although it was not an inch away from anyone, it smashed the panels of the carriage with a loud noise.

"Who, so blind, almost smashed Lao Tzu!" Uncle Chang was still scolding, trying to find out which blind guy was throwing stones, and as soon as he turned around, more stones flew over, and this time two pieces fell firmly on him.

Before Chang Bancheng scolded again, someone in the distance was already pointing at him and shouting: "Capture the thief first capture the king, take down the bandit leader first!" ”

It was no one else who came at this time, it was really the workers led by Cheng Qi and others.

Just when Uncle Chang was fluttering about his immortal cause, a clever young man had already run away from the chaotic scene to find the big guy, and everyone was a little frightened when they heard that it was a person wearing the Fei family's security uniform. Fortunately, Cheng Qi's brain is fast: "Clothes can be faked, these people will smash and rob when they enter the door, and they will also commit murder." Definitely not a good person, I think most of them are bandits and bandits in the mountains. ”

Huang Yang realized: "Someone must be pretending to be the security guard of the Fei family, and he wants to fish in troubled waters here." Brothers and I went with me, for the property of Master Fei, for our own lives, and fought with the bandits! ”

As a result, more than 100 young and strong workers, carrying labor tools, shouted "Fight the bandits!" Fight bandits! The slogan rushed over. These playful bastards are good at bullying students after school, and they are also very good at molesting passing girls. But to fight with the miners is really self-defeating.

However, in the time of tea, the workers easily captured more than half of the heavenly soldiers and generals under Chang Bancheng, and a small half of them were really rabbits, running faster than Chang Bancheng in a carriage, and they really couldn't catch up.

General Chang Bancheng also relied on his thick skin and thick flesh this time, suffered several bricks, and was beaten with sticks I don't know how many times, so he hid in the open carriage with his head. Fortunately, his coachman was highly skilled and bold, and the two horses were good horses for Master Fei's own use, and no one could be on a rampage, so he was lucky to escape.

It's just that he pity the unlucky Long Tao, this time his good luck ran out. He was surrounded by angry workers on the inside and outside of the three floors, and he was dying, if Cheng Qi hadn't come in time, I'm afraid Long Tao wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow morning.

Zhu Ming, a native of Liangshan County, Shandong Road, is now the head of the militia under Fei Jianren.

It's already the weather of the lunar month, and it's already very cold when you get up early. But Captain Zhu had a good body, practiced Shaolin boxing in the courtyard shirtless, washed the sweat on his body with well water, changed his clothes meticulously, and came to the side hall with a sinking face to share breakfast with several aunts and wives.

Zhu Ming also used to be a bitter background, his family was originally a farmer in Liangshan County for generations, guarding the 100 acres of land handed down by his ancestors, and he couldn't be rich and starved to death. However, the climate in recent decades has been strange, especially in the last decade or so, there have been either major droughts or major floods, and the farmland on both sides of the Yellow River has basically been harvested. Zhu Ming's family survived for a few years, but he couldn't stand it, so he could only go out to escape the famine.

On the way to escape from the famine, Zhu Ming strayed into the thief's den, got on the thief ship, and accidentally changed from an innocent good family to Shandong Xiangma. It's just that such days can't last long, and Zhu Ming also feels that he is following the cottage old rat who is in the mix, which is a typical example of having wine today and getting drunk today, and if he goes on like this, he will capsize sooner or later. So he had the idea of going ashore in white.

happened to be at this time when he met a loving and righteous Qinglou woman Shen Yuying, who said that Shen Yuying was also a poor person, and her family was well-off and had studied for a few years. But because his father's overseas speculative business was ruined and bankrupt, the family fell into fireworks. The two cherish each other and fall in love with each other. Zhu Ming ransomed Shen Yuying with the money he had saved in the cottage over the years, and found his neighbor Xiaomei, who had been married since childhood.

In this way, Zhu Ming came to Huainan with the two women and the little money they had left. Here he is lucky, just in time to catch up with Fei Jianren when he just made a fortune, he needs someone who has seen blood and has a little brain to help him, Zhu Ming happens to have all these things, charging in front and earning merit in the back, being loyal and loyal, and often saying "We don't recognize anyone except Fei Dashan". Coupled with the fact that he kept the militia in good order, Fei Jianren was relieved to give him more glory and wealth. It is often said that Zhu Ming is the number one fierce dog under Fei Jianren, Zhu Ming himself does not deny it, he is very clear about this matter, although the Fei family has all relatives, but without Fei Jianren, those cats and dogs are nothing!

Zhu Ming now lives in a large courtyard in the city, which he bought at a low price from a dilapidated second-rate man for a small price the year before. Every time he meditates alone in this three-fold three-entry courtyard, he will think of what a beautiful former master used to be, and then his descendants are not filial and his family property is lost. Therefore, he was very strict with his young sons and nephews, not only invited the best professors in Lianghuai to teach, but also specially accepted a female student as a concubine - hey, Head Zhu is good at everything, but he is a little greedy for beauty, which is also human nature.

Zhu Ming came to the dining table and sat down in the main seat, on his left hand sat his childhood sweetheart's wife Xiaomei, and on his right hand sat Shen Yuying, the head of the Qinglou who was in trouble, and then down, respectively, the eighteen-year-old female student Li Congying, who was wearing glasses and still a little childish, and Jincheng, a new Shandong girl.

The two wet nurses are holding two children, both of whom are five or six years old, one of them is Zhu Ming's biological son, and the other is the son of Zhu Ming's younger brother Zhu Qing. The two children have been together since the time of breastfeeding, and although they are not brothers, they are even brothers.

Zhu Ming looked at Li Congying's bulging belly, and couldn't help but smile with some relief, and looked at the belly of Shandong girl Jincheng right, still with some regrets: "The sowing has not been successful, and Zhu Ye still needs to work hard." ”

Zhu Qing is Zhu Ming's younger brother, the two have been separated for many years, and later Zhu Ming developed and spent a lot of energy to find the younger brother who was a long-term maid in a rich family in Dingyuan County, the rich family heard about Zhu Ming's origin, moved by their brotherly love, and married his youngest daughter to Zhu Qing as his wife.

Although the brothers do not live in the same courtyard, the courtyard wall is connected to the courtyard wall, and it is extremely convenient for the inner house to move around each other when there is nothing to do. Sometimes the brothers want to go out to run errands, and they both entrust each other's wives and children, but they are really a good family of brothers, friends and brothers.

Zhu Ming was drinking porridge, but Zhu Qing came in in a hurry: "Brother, brother...... Why are you still here? Something's wrong, there's an accident! ”

"What's wrong, look at your urgency, you're sweating in winter." Zhu Ming is calm, he has eaten and seen Fei Dashan over the years, and gradually learned some kung fu to nourish qi.

"Someone occupied Master Fei's mine and beat people."

"I know that." Zhu Ming peeled an egg and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's not a big deal." ”

"I'm not done yet. Master Fei's cousin, who was the one who broke down and led people to take the mine back, was also beaten. ”

"Hehe, that's it, he still wants to transfer my militia, that's pushing me into the fire pit, I'm not fooled. He, I don't know where to get a few people to go, right......" Zhu Ming was not surprised at all that Uncle Chang could do any good things, but Zhu Qing's words in the back still surprised him.

"Early this morning, those people tied up dozens of people into a string and went to the county government to complain, saying that Long Tao, the manager of the mine, had colluded with bandits to rob the master's property, and that the mastermind was Chang Ye. When someone saw that those people were all scoundrels in Shouzhou City, they all came to tell me, and when I heard that this was not the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, how could Chang Ye rob his own property. I'm going to hurry up and find you, big brother. What do you think to do? Qiuzhi County in the county government is still waiting. ”
