Chapter 547: Borneo Riots

According to Zhang San's estimate, it would take a month for the king of Goryeo to go back to reorganize the army and raise materials, and one month was enough for the Ryukyu army to return with a full load, and the news was reported to the two kings of the Wa Kingdom, and both of them asked for additional troops to be sent to Goryeo.

Zhang San of course met their demands, and allowed them to recruit an additional 20,000 troops for the war against Goryeo, which was also a reward for their realization in this war, and just as Zhang San was happy in Goryeo, there was indeed a storm brewing in Borneo in the south.

After the rain, the air in Po Nam City is wet, and a middle-aged man with a hat walking slowly on the streets of the city with clogs, a coat and a hat, because it has just been developed, most of the city of Po Nam is still only dirt roads, and only the two main streets have begun to lay road bricks.

Therefore, in order to avoid mud on their feet, people generally choose to step on a pair of clogs to go out, at this time the clogs are like a small bench with small feet, more than ten centimeters high, walking requires not only skills but also physical strength.

The hatsman walked through the long street to an alley, looked left and right to see if no one followed, turned around and entered the alley, waited for more than a minute, and came out of the alley, it turned out that this was a dead end, he came in to see if anyone would follow.

After making sure that no one was following, the hat-bearer quickened his pace, turned another street corner into an alley, knocked on the door three times, and the people inside asked, "Who?" ”

The hatsman replied: "It's me, a relative from the countryside of Chaozhou, who came to Mr. Mei to borrow canned bayberry." ”

The people inside hurriedly opened the door and brought people in, and the hat man took off his clogs, took off his hat and robe, and asked, "Is Mei Lao here?" ”

The porter whispered, "The master is waiting for you in the study, go quickly." ”

The hat man walked around to the door of the study in the backyard, knocked on the door three times, and the voice of an old man in the house came out: "Come in." ”

When the hat-taker entered the door, he first bent down and saluted and said, "Master, I'm back." ”

The old man took the book in his hand and asked, "What does the Liu family say?" ”

The hat-bearer immediately replied: "Back to the master's words, the Liu family said that although he has lost his land now, it is good for His Majesty the King to allow him to participate in the charcoal and brick burning business, and he also asked me to tell the master that as long as he follows the Ryukyu King well, he will not treat us badly." ”

The old man slapped the book on the table angrily: "What a bastard! At the beginning, several ancestors overcame obstacles to have a place of this size, and these bastards don't know what kind of face they have to see their ancestors in the future! ”

The old man got angry for a while, stood up from behind the table, walked around twice with his hands behind his back, and asked, "What about the He family?" ”

The hat man thought about it and said: "The He family said that it is the head of the horse for the master, and he is willing to be your wings!" ”

The old man snorted and scolded: "This old slippery head, let Lao Tzu rush ahead, they pick up ready-made, don't even think about it, you go and tell the elders of the Dongxi clan, let him contact the clan as much as possible, and when the time comes, we will send them weapons in the name of sending coke, and the fifth old man of the coke factory, let him continue to secretly change tools into weapons ......." ”

When the old man finished his order, the hat-bearer put on his things again and disappeared into the street corner, and the situation in the city of Nanpo in Borneo became mysterious for a while, and the old man looked at the moonlight outside and sighed, he himself did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

In the northeast of Nanpo City, there is a small iron mine, where more than 30,000 Borneo slaves are mining ore, and about 20,000 people are building blast furnaces for smelting pig iron.

Three days later, on a rainy night, a convoy of coke arrived at the mine with great difficulty, because they were all acquaintances, and the person in charge of the mine immediately arranged for the slaves to help when they saw everyone's hard work.

When passing by the sentry, I happened to meet the patrolling mine guards, and at this time, the head of the Jiao transportation unit saw that someone stopped in front of him and hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and asked: "Huh!" How many people have worked hard, and they are still patrolling on this rainy day? You see I'm pulling coking coal here, don't get your hands dirty. ”

The soldiers did not pay attention to them, and recently they felt that the atmosphere in the mining area was a little strange, so they specially instructed the patrol team to step up their defense, and strictly check the people and things entering and leaving the mining area.

Seeing this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly took out a string of copper coins from his arms and approached the leader of the patrol team and said: "This company commander, you see that it is not easy for the brothers, it is raining heavily, everyone is in a hurry, and the small meaning is not respectful." ”

The team leader looked at the man with a waist and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Ha waist smiled and said: "Back to the chief's words, if you are small, you will be called Mei Wu." ”

The sergeant said loudly: "Give me a careful search, he just tried to bribe me, there must be something wrong, send someone to inform the mine manager and let him strictly investigate this person named Mei Wu!" ”

Mei Wu didn't expect that he would end up with this result when he paid for the bribe, seeing that the soldiers began to poke the charcoal with wooden sticks, Mei Wu was a little anxious, there are weapons hidden here, so that the law will definitely be exposed, Mei Wuyi was anxious to see that these soldiers were focused on the carriage, and simply shouted endlessly: "Brothers, he doesn't give us a way to live, let's fight with them!" ”

Saying that, Mei Wu was about to grab the gun in the hand of the company commander in front of him, and the people under him also got the signal, pulled out his weapon from the car and began to rush towards the soldiers in front of him. ”

Immediately both sides screamed and did it, although this patrol had a company of troops, but it was not concentrated at this gate, seeing that there was a fight at the door, they immediately sent people over, and at the same time beat the gong and trumpet to inform the mine area of the guard.

The army and mine police stationed in the mining area immediately became lively, and immediately the entire expansion area was full of running troops and mine police, and the elders of the Dongxi clan were waiting with the clansmen to receive the weapons sent by Mei Wu, and when they saw the chaos at the gate, they knew that Mei Wu was exposed in advance.

The elder was also afraid that Mei Wu would be arrested and confessed, so he immediately made a decision to organize a riot now, anyway, according to the original plan, it was tonight, but a few hours in advance, and everything that should be prepared was ready.

The reason why the slaves chose to do it on a rainy night was because the old man of the Mei family heard that the new rifles of the Ryukyus would be greatly affected on rainy days, and weapons such as cannons could not be used on rainy days, so they agreed to do it at this time.

Sure enough, after the riot began, Mei Wu and Elder Dongxi did not hear a single gunshot, and when they were defeating the mine police and patrolling soldiers, the mine garrison was indeed urgently assembling to install rain covers for the guns.
