Chapter 329: Receiving the Gold Mine

Zhang Chu heard Sun Yuanhua's praise and hurriedly said, "Let's go, go into the city." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info took the lead in urging the horse to go to Zhaoyuan City, he was afraid that Sun Yuanhua would ask him some questions again, and it would take half a day to explain.

The fire in Zhaoyuan City has been extinguished, and the security army has set up sentry posts everywhere to check the personnel in the city. Zhang Chu, Wang Chengen and others entered the city and came to the county government of Zhaoyuan County, and some soldiers came to report that the Zhaoyuan County Order had been killed by the rebels. Zhang Chu ordered people to collect the body well and see if any family members came to claim it. In this troubled world, no matter what identity you were in life, you will be the same corpse after death.

Zhaoyuan was gone, and Zhang Chu had no choice but to transfer personnel from the army to set up a new government agency to manage the affairs of the county.

After finishing all this, Zhang Chu turned his gaze to Wang Chengen: "Princess, isn't it time for you, the mine supervisor, to take office." ”

"This, I'm afraid it's not good, I've asked the saint for a decree, and the saint hasn't replied yet, so I don't have to wait." Wang Chengen always felt that this was not a good thing.

"No need, the prince just needs to follow and see, and someone will do the rest." Zhang Chu knew that Wang Chengen would not do this sincerely.

Zhang Chu was always vigorous and resolute, and the security forces immediately moved everywhere, putting up notices to publicize it widely, reiterating that illegal gold mining was illegal, and the propagandists were joined by the new mine supervisor Wang Chengen and the security forces of the brigade. Their purpose was to take over the privately opened mines everywhere. The policy of the security forces was that as long as the mine was handed over, the former mine owner could leave with his belongings.

Wang Chengen knew that this was a matter that was not good for the emperor, and it was a chore, but Zhang Chu had won so many battles, and the emperor really didn't give a tael of silver, which was really a bit too much. Moreover, according to the Ming law, it is indeed illegal to mine gold mines privately, those mine owners colluded with the local government to open mines privately, and the silver did not fall into the hands of the emperor, rather than let these corrupt officials and inferior gentry get the silver, it is better to fall into the hands of Zhang Chu, at least Zhang Chu will fight for the emperor.

What Wang Chengen didn't expect was that his reputation as the emperor's personal eunuch was not easy to use in the ravine. He led the team to receive the gold mine, and when he reached the first place, he was brought back.

Over the years, the owner of the mine, Li Pan, colluded with officials in the court to occupy the mining area, mining gold mines privately, and used the money obtained to raise a large number of family members, equipped with excellent weapons, and usually oppressed the surrounding people, and protected the gold mines in chaos.

After the rebels occupied Zhaoyuan, they also sent people to attack the Li family's gold mine, but they did not expect to underestimate the defense ability of the gold mine, and few people who came were repelled by the Li family's family. The rebels were preparing to send additional men to continue the attack, but they didn't expect the security army to come and beat the rebels away, and the Li family gold mine survived. Wang Chengen thought that under the banner of the government and the name of the eunuch beside the emperor, Li Pan had to come to greet him in person, and then forgive him for his private mining.

Unexpectedly, Li Pan led his family to hide behind the stone wall in the mining area and did not show up at all. A soldier tried to get close to the mine but was shot back by the archers on the wall, and the two sides could only shout and talk from afar.

The law of the Ming Dynasty was also mentioned, and Wang Chengen's identity was also raised, but it didn't work for Li Pan at all. Li Pan hid behind the wall and shouted: "Don't mention any eunuchs, what are eunuchs, eunuchs count as officials." I am related to Wen Tiren, the capital of the dynasty, and our mine was approved by Wen Shoufu himself. Otherwise, you lose your head and don't know why. ”

Wang Chengen was innocently scolded and felt very unhappy, but he was also dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from eating Huanglian, this Wen Tiren had just become the first assistant and was proud, and no one in the court could afford to provoke him. Although Wang Chengen is not afraid of him, if he offends him, he will annoy the emperor again, and the eunuchs will lower their heads again. But it's a shame to just retreat.

Just when Wang Chengen was in a dilemma, the commander of the security battalion who came with him came over and said: "Wang Gonggong, please stand back, it is dangerous here, and the commander has an order when he comes, and any behavior against the security army must be resolutely cracked down." ”

"But this matter involves Shousuke, so it's better to be careful." Wang Chengen is still weighing the pros and cons.

"Don't worry about this, the marshal said, just push this matter on his head, and it has nothing to do with his father-in-law." After the battalion commander finished speaking, he waved his hand for the soldiers to start preparing.

Wang Chengen reluctantly stepped aside, he knew that no one here would listen to him, since Zhang Chu said that these soldiers would definitely carry it out.

The security soldiers on that side quickly made preparations, pushed the artillery they brought with them to the front of the formation, and the musketeers also gathered together and began to prepare for the attack. The battalion commander shouted a warning to the people inside the stone wall: "We are the security forces, we ask you to come out and surrender, and now is the first warning, if you don't come out and surrender, we will attack." “

Li Pan didn't think that the security army really dared to open fire, and even the eunuchs didn't say anything when they heard the name of Shoufu, and a small military general couldn't get on the stage, and the silver sent to Shoufu every year was not given in vain. Ordered the archers to shoot whoever came close, and Li Pan was on top of it if something happened.

The battalion commander of the security army warned three times and there was no response within the stone wall, and he waved his hand helplessly and said, "Attack." ”

As the order was given, the artillery in front of the formation rang out. Although they were not facing a strong enemy, the gunners of the security army were meticulous, and every action was completed accurately in accordance with the requirements of the regulations. It's so much more realistic than a drill. After a burst of artillery fire, the stone wall collapsed, and Zhuang Ding, who was hiding behind the stone wall, had already fled without a trace.

The musketeers of the security forces rushed forward with muskets loaded with bayonets, killing everyone who dared to resist on the spot. Li Pan was arrested alive and brought to the battalion commander and Wang Chengen, who just asked them if eunuchs were things. The battalion commander had already ordered: "Pull it down and cut it down, cut off the head and show it to the public, so that the opponents of the security army will understand what will happen if they do not obey the order."

Li Pan had already been frightened by the sound of artillery from the security army, and after the stone wall collapsed, he was completely blinded, and when he heard that he was going to be beheaded for public display, he was even more paralyzed, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

The soldiers were not in the mood to care what Li Pan thought, executing orders on the battlefield was the first priority, several soldiers dragged Li Pan aside, cut off his head, and someone who knew how to concoct the head, ready to take it to other mines to let them see the fate of the security army.

With the example of the Li family's gold mine, it is much easier to receive other gold mines. It didn't take long for the security forces to take control of all the gold mines in Zhaoyuan County. Although those gentlemen were very dissatisfied, they could only endure it temporarily in front of the swords and guns of the security army, and find an opportunity to let the ministers of the court quickly remove this bold Zhang Chu.
