Chapter 202: Xia Hezhai succeeds, miners, iron ore
Wang Jian died, and the other Lingshan Wei officers were not caught, which means that they are very likely to have escaped. Obviously, after they escape, they will definitely ask for help from all sides. The convoy occupied the Lingshan Guard and controlled their fields, which was equivalent to cutting off their lifeline, so they would definitely be desperate to find an opportunity to fight back. These people are generally inextricably linked, and their energy is definitely not comparable to that of a small Wang Shixin.
If there is no mistake, the counterattack of the officers and soldiers should come soon. But inside Lingshanwei, the situation is obviously not too optimistic. In case of a real fight, these military households may not be on their side. Everything has to be self-reliant. It seems that rebellion is really a technical job, and it is not so easy to achieve! However, since he is already standing on the land of Lingshanwei, he will not retreat easily!
If you dare to come, I will dare to beat you!
Whichever you are!
"My lord, Yi Litao asks to see you. I told him that it was late at night, and that the adults needed to rest and that he should come back in the morning. But he said that he had an urgent matter and had to tell the adults now......" While pondering, Zhang Lingyun came in again to report.
Zhang Zhun looked at the sky and said solemnly: "Lingyun, if the people from the Intelligence Department want to see me in the future, let them in at any time, don't stop them." ”
Zhang Lingyun nodded and agreed.
Soon, Yi Litao hurriedly came in and said apologetically: "My lord, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
Zhang Zhun said: "Urgent? Go ahead. ”
Yi Litao said: "The miners on the other side of Tieqi Mountain came to kill the Acropolis, saying that they wanted to settle accounts with you. ”
Zhang Zhun was a little surprised, and said in disbelief: "The miners of Tieqi Mountain? What are they doing here? Why did they come to me to settle accounts? ”
Yi Litao said: "They were instigated by the mine owner Zhao Dongsheng. ”
After asking about some details, Zhang Zhun said to himself: "It's also interesting......
Hundreds of miners, who did not even have decent weapons and had never received combat training, actually slaughtered the Acropolis at the instigation of others. Moreover, he also named and named him to deal with Zhang Zhun, not Wang Jian, which is really ...... If you want to say that the people of Lingshanwei don't have any courage, and they don't like it, they dare to come to the commander of the guard to settle accounts with a hoe or something. If you want to say that they have courage, it is not like it, they dare not even ask for the fields that are easy to reach. I really don't know if they are brave or not, or if their own phalanx has not scratched their itch.
Yi Litao said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to send an escort team to deal with it?" ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I will handle this matter personally!" ”
He shouted: "Zhang Lingyun! ”
Zhang Lingyun hurriedly replied: "Here!" ”
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Take your squad and get ready for battle!" There are combat missions! ”
Zhang Lingyun hurriedly gathered the team.
Soon, the team was assembled.
Hao Linyong happened to come back from the front line and reported the situation to Zhang Zhun. Just as Zhang Zhun guessed, except for Wang Jian, the other people caught by the escort team were all small fish that could be ignored. Several commanders and acquaintances, commanders, thousands of households, or anything were not caught. It is believed that after these people escaped, they should soon gather together again, gather strength, and make a comeback.
Of course, Zhang Zhun is not worried about their comeback. If he was worried, he wouldn't have blatantly attacked Lingshan Wei. Now that you've done it, you have to take the risk. There was a convoy of 400 people, and Zhang Zhun was not afraid of the counterattack of the officers and soldiers at all. What's more, as time goes by, the strength of the escort team will only get stronger and stronger.
Hao Linyong also brought a very important piece of information, that is, Xiahe Village has already succeeded. Without Wang Jian's support, Wang Dou didn't dare to fight with the guards in Xiahe City. As a result, the battle lasted less than half an hour, and he, like Wang Jian, quietly fled. The current Xiahe City has been completely in the hands of Yang Zhiyuan, Feng Yangyi, Dai Yu, Wang Dingjia and others. Zhao Feng was also arrested and waited for Zhang Zhun to deal with it.
"Let's put it first."
Zhang Zhun said slowly.
Zhao Feng has to deal with it, but not now.
Knowing that Zhang Zhun was going to set off to command the battle in person, Hao Linyong said with some worry: "My lord, is a squad enough?" Otherwise, all the soldiers of the Second Association will come with you. ”
Zhang Zhun said disappreciatively: "You take other troops to control the situation in the city. At night, maybe someone will take advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters. If you catch these people, don't ask, shoot them on the spot. Make an example of what to do. Hundreds of miners, if even I can't control it, it's really a joke. ”
Hao Linyong thought about it, Zhang Zhun personally went out to deal with hundreds of miners who didn't even have standard weapons, what was the difficulty? So I agreed.
Zhang Zhun took a team, as well as snipers such as Dugu Hunt, Zhong Wuying, Yang Weiguo, and Liu Jixiang out of the city. In fact, ever since he occupied the Acropolis of Lingshan, the gates of the city have always been open, and they do not need to be closed even at night. The gates of Fushan City are never closed. There's no need for that.
As long as you have strong strength in hand, you will not close the door and you will not be afraid of the arrival of the enemy. If you don't have enough strength, even if you close your doors, so what? The ostrich buries its head in the sand, and its butt is still outside. In all dynasties, when the country was strong, the borders were always open. On the contrary, when the national strength is empty, the border must be tightly sealed.
Under the leadership of Yi Litao, Zhang Zhun and others went all the way to the west, getting farther and farther away from the Acropolis, and the light became darker and darker. Zhang Lingyun asked some of the soldiers to light torches so that they could be illuminated.
"My lord, they're just ahead."
Yi Litao said suddenly.
Zhang Zhun looked up, and sure enough, there were people in front of him.
Raising the clairvoyant mirror and taking a closer look, sure enough, it was a group of miners, about three or four hundred people, ragged and haggard, and the team looked a little messy. In their hands, these miners carried hoes, shovels, planks, clubs, and other weapons that could not be more rudimentary.
"Stop!"
The fighters of the convoy took up their positions.
The cold and glittering bayonets blocked the way of the miners.
"That's them!"
"It's just that they don't pay you!"
Suddenly, behind the miners, a shrill voice screamed.
The miners were instigated, so they continued to rush forward, and all the rudimentary weapons in their hands were raised. The fighters of the convoy, of course, did not retreat, the bayonets were almost on the chests of the miners, and at any moment there could be a bloody clash between the sides.
Zhang Zhun sat on horseback, holding a clairvoyant mirror, searching the crowd behind the miners. Because the light in the field is not very good, the visibility is low, and the person who shouted is hiding behind, if it weren't for the clairvoyant mirror in Zhang Zhun's hand, it would not be easy to find the other party. The person who shouted believed that he was also fearless, so he dared to shout in the back. As a result, his figure was soon targeted by Zhang Zhun.
"Brothers, their money was robbed by them!"
"The only way to get back the money that belongs to you is to rush forward!"
"Rush! Defeat them and you'll get the money! ”
The man kept screaming from behind.
The miners were getting closer and closer to the bayonets of the convoy. The fingers of the guards were pressed on the top of the trigger, and at the first command, the Mini bullets would whistle away. They don't care who the other party is, and once they have an order, they will definitely shoot without hesitation.
"Give me the gun!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly put down the clairvoyant mirror and said calmly.
Yang Weiguo handed the tiger to Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun raised his hand without thinking, and it was a shot.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
All the voices came to an abrupt end.
The person who shouted was knocked down by Zhang Zhun with a shot.
Brigadier Zhang threw the tiger back to Yang Weiguo, straightened his body, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Zhun!" Zhang Yulin! Lingshanwei is now my master! If you have anything to say, you can tell me! The man who was yelling in the back was dead! ”
The miners couldn't help but shrink, and then they looked at each other, and a look of horror began to appear on their faces. Even if they have seen little, they know that it is a firebolt. However, what really deterred them was that Zhang Zhun killed the person behind them with a single shot. They couldn't understand how Zhang Zhun found that person and how he killed that person with one shot. A faint chill slowly rose from under the hearts of every miner.
Zhang Zhun slowly urged the war horse, passed past the miners, slowly came to the back of the team, looked at the person lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Can anyone tell me who this person is?" ”
No one answered.
Zhang Zhun beckoned and shouted, "Yi Litao, come here!" ”
Yi Litao hurriedly came to Zhang Zhun's side, glanced at the man, and said briefly: "My lord, this person is Zhao Dongsheng!" ”
Zhang Zhun nodded, raised his tone, and said coldly: "Zhao Dongsheng is dead, now, if you have anything to say, you can tell me." ”
Miners, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks.
Suddenly, they felt that Zhang Zhun on horseback was so terrifying, so unstoppable, so unstoppable. Although there were hundreds of them, in front of Zhang Zhun, they were like a flock of sheep facing lions, and they had no strength to compete with their opponents.
There was a slight hint of ridicule at the corner of Zhang Zhun's mouth, and he said coldly: "Could it be that among the hundreds of men, there is not a single one who dares to speak?" ”
After a moment of silence, a thin miner came out, plucked up his courage, and said to Zhang Zhun: "My lord, the villain Xiao Huang ......"
Zhang Zhun looked him up and down, and asked slowly, "Are you a scholar?" ”
Xiao Huang's face turned slightly red, and said, "I'm ashamed, Xiaosheng has never been nominated on the list. ”
Zhang Zhun frowned, and said in disbelief: "Even if you don't get nominated on the list, you won't be reduced to mining, right?" ”
Xiao Huang said a little unconvinced: "Adults look down on mining? ”
Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned.
Grass, is this kid still a human rights fighter? So sensitive?
Zhang Lingyun shouted angrily: "Xiao Huang, you are looking for death!" Dare to be rude to adults! Isn't it remarkable how many books you've read? ”
After that, rushing up, he was going to knock Xiao Huang to the ground.
Zhang Zhun waved his hand, asked Zhang Lingyun to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Huang, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Xiao Huang said bitterly: "We have nothing to say, we just need wages." It's been half a year since the boss owed us money and food. If we don't get paid, we're all going to starve to death! We are also forced to act tonight, and I ask for your forgiveness! ”
Zhang Zhun said noncommittally: "How much wages do you owe you?" ”
Xiao Huang said in a clear tone: "A total of two thousand three hundred and fifty-seven twenty-two coins of silver, five cents, six millimeters and nine ......."
Zhang Zhun was dizzy by the unit behind the "two", interrupted him and said, "It's more than two thousand three hundred taels, right?" ”
Xiao Huang said: "Exactly. ”
Zhang Zhun said happily: "I can distribute it to you immediately!" But, only if you have the guts to take it! I am the master of Lingshanwei and the master of the Red Mansion! If you want to get the money, you have to follow me to the Red Mansion! More than 2,000 taels, you pick 20 people, come with me to get them! ”
Xiao Huang said happily: "Okay! I'll go with you! ”
The rest of the miners are you look at me, I look at you, and they quietly avoided Xiao Huang's gaze. Everyone's face was a little frightened. What the? To the Red Mansion? What if there is no return? Red Mansion, is that a place you can go casually? Don't be stupid, go to the Red Mansion, there is no scum left!
Zhang Zhun sat on the horse's back, just sneering indifferently.
If you want money, but you don't want to take risks, is there such a good thing in the world?
Lingshanwei, what is going on with these people? Could it be that they are all content with the status quo, even if they have the opportunity to change their fate, they do not dare to take the slightest risk?
Xiao Huang also frowned a little, he didn't expect the miners to retreat, and couldn't help but say: "Brothers, more than two thousand taels of silver, I can't take it alone." If no one else comes, I'll take my own portion. ”
Miners, look at me, I'll look at you, and finally, some people came out intermittently, and after a long time, they finally managed to get together twenty people. Xiao Huang is right, he can't get so many silver taels alone. If they don't go, Xiao Huang will only have to take a small part of himself.
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said gloomily: "The rest of the people, go back to the mine for me!" If you come out to make trouble again, don't blame me for killing me! ”
If the miners were granted amnesty, they scattered in droves.
Zhang Lingyun asked Yi Litao quietly, and said with some disdain: "Just such a group of people, scared you to come overnight?" And report it to your lordship, really! Don't you know that adults are tired of the day? ”
Yi Litao was a little embarrassed.
He was a little puzzled by the performance of the miners just now.
Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "Lingyun, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Zhang Lingyun hurriedly shut up.
The group returned to the Red Mansion.
Obviously, when approaching the Red Mansion, these miners once again seemed a little scared. Some miners, when they entered the Red Mansion, their footsteps were obviously a little fluttering. There were also people who subconsciously looked at the city walls on both sides, as if there would be bows and arrows shooting down at any time, killing them all in the Red Mansion. This red mansion, I don't know how many people's surnames have been devoured. Without Wang Jian's consent, it would have been impossible to get out of the Red Mansion alive. No wonder they have such fears.
"Zihao."
Zhang Zhun called Liu Hang to explain the situation and allocate 2,300 taels of silver.
Liu Hang complied.
The silver seized by Lingshanwei is not a lot, there are still thousands of taels, plus when the guards are pursuing, the silver found one after another is almost about 10,000 taels.
Xiao Huang didn't expect this trip to be so smooth. Zhang Zhun really said what he said. After he and the miners counted the silver taels, they hurriedly left. They really didn't want to stay in the Red Mansion longer, and the aura in it made them feel very uneasy.
Zhang Zhun said in the back: "Xiao Huang, you wait. ”
Xiao Huang's face changed, and he said with some trepidation: "What adults say doesn't count?" ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "Xiao Huang, you took my money." However, I didn't get your iron. ”
Xiao Huang said in embarrassment: "The iron is all there for Zhao Dongsheng. ”
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "So, do you think you should send me the ore?" ”
Xiao Huang thought about it and said helplessly: "Okay! We'll send you all the ore. However, in terms of price, we will not reduce the price. ”
Zhang Zhun shook his head, still said slowly: "Xiao Huang, I don't mean to embezzle your hard-earned money, you don't need to be nervous." Zhao Dongsheng is dead, and the mine cave in Tieqi Mountain has no owner. Do you want to be the owner? ”
Xiao Huang was slightly stunned.
Master?
The owner of Iron Mountain?
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "You sell the ore to me, and I will pay you." The more ore you sell me, the more money you get. Let's trade equally, what do you think? ”
Xiao Huang stared at Zhang Zhun deeply, and said with some disbelief: "My lord is indeed a little different. ”
Zhang Zhun said: "I need a lot of ore, how much can you provide?" ”
Xiao Huang said: "Three thousand catties of iron ore a day, you can smelt five hundred catties of pig iron, my lord, do you see enough?" ”
Zhang Zhun said: "I need ore that can smelt 1,000 catties of pig iron every day. ”
Xiao Huang thought for a while and said, "No problem, we can work hard to meet the needs of adults as much as possible!" ”
Zhang Zhun said: "Okay! That's it! ”
Xiao Huang said: "On behalf of all the miners, Xiao Huang expressed his gratitude to the adults. ”
Zhang Zhun said: "Three days later, I will set up a transshipment office in the city to purchase iron ore, and your ore can be sent to the transshipment office." Pay with one hand and deliver with the other, this rule, don't let me say more! ”
Xiao Huang nodded, indicating that he knew the rules of the transaction, so he said goodbye and left.
At this time, it was already early in the morning.
Liu Hang and Liu Baoyu are still planning the problem of the farm in high spirits.
Zhang Zhun stretched his waist hard, cheered up his spirits, and then found a room to lie down and went to sleep. Tomorrow, there are more things that need to be dealt with by him, and he can't help but take a break.
Although Lingshanwei's start was not as smooth as he imagined, he had to work hard.
As long as you work hard, there is hope.
(To be continued)
