Zhang Guixin held up the binoculars in front of his eyes and looked at the main shaft building of the industrial and mining area 800 meters away for a long time. His expression was melancholy and heavy, and beads of sweat the size of mung beans were condensed on his broad forehead; Behind him, a blazing morning sun was rising silently in the low recess between the two gangue mountains, and the oblique sunlight reflected the sweat beads on his forehead, making him feel a burst of unbearable heat.

He loosened the belt that was tied to his military uniform and unbuttoned the three buttons under the collar of his jacket. Changing directions again, he continued to hold the telescope and observe all corners of the mining area.

This is on the roof of the official building of Dahua Company, the platform is very smooth, is made of Shimin soil and fine sand, and there is a circle of brick walls about one meter high around the sundeck, and the inner and outer sides of the brick wall are all plastered with Shimin soil, and there is a very regular zigzag gap at the top. As soon as Zhang Guixin boarded the platform, he thought with the sensitivity of a soldier: a company can be arranged here; And if there is a company of people guarding this platform, the situation within 500 meters of the surrounding area can be roughly controlled.

There were many people standing beside him—the two battalion commanders under his command, the gunmen of the pistol team, Li Shicheng, the general manager of the Dahua Company, Chen Xiangyu, the assistant manager, Li Bingchi, the special office of the Provincial Department of Industry, and some attachés from the county governor's office and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Like Zhang Guixin, these people are directly or indirectly responsible for the mine disaster, and are therefore unusually frightened by the sudden outbreak of unrest.

Zhang Guixin was still watching there, changing directions and perspectives from time to time. The heavy binoculars magnified the commotion in front of him many times over, and then clearly came into his eyes. He saw the commotion of the entire mining area surrounded by the moat, the red pennants fluttering on the main shaft that had been burned down for most of the time, the potters who were on the lookout task on the steel frame of the inclined shaft, and the crowds of people around the main shaft, the auxiliary shaft, and the inclined shaft......

Dahua Company, which is entrenched in the land of Tianjiapu, is composed of two parts: one is the industrial and mining area with the main shaft as the center, east to Ganzi Mountain, and west to the kiln and wood factory; One part is centered on the company's official building, including the company's staff dormitory and the company's primary school hall. The two areas are separated by a mine wall and a moat, like two independent kingdoms. The two kingdoms share a stone-built arched gate, and there are two roads in the gate, one leading to the company's office and living area, and the other leading to the industrial and mining area. Li Shicheng had some consideration when arranging the company's ground layout in this way, Li Shicheng wanted to ensure the safety of the mining area, and secondly, to isolate the noisy sound of the mining area. Unexpectedly, it has now provided convenience for this riot, and the potters who have occupied the industrial and mining area are almost like occupying a well-built military fortification!

The riot happened - no matter how Zhang Guixin tried to prevent it, it still happened! Overnight, the kiln farmers actually used force to storm the mine, firmly occupying all the wellheads, so that the plan to seal the well was completely impossible. This annoyed Zhang Guixin. He didn't want to offend the farmers of Tianjiapu, and he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the kilns, he thought very well, seal the well first, as long as the well was sealed, the matter would be suppressed by more than half. Then, he instructed Dahua Company to give fair compensation and compensation to the relatives of the deceased potter - he was ready to exert a little pressure to force the company to take more money, and the family of the deceased would naturally not make trouble. Unexpectedly, this night, the wind and thunder suddenly broke his plan! forced him to think about the suppression of riots by force.

This is the next step.

It is not a glorious thing to use his capacity as the envoy of Ningyang Town and the soldiers of one of his brigades to deal with the riot kiln people under his rule. If he loses the battle, the situation will be out of control, he will be scolded and ridiculed by the world, and he may even lose the entire territory of Ningyang. If he wins the battle and kills half of the rioting kiln people, he will become the executioner and the scapegoat for this disaster, and some guys with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to make a big fuss, and even raise troops to crusade against him in the name of justice......

But you can't ignore it. Disasters and riots occurred on the territory under his rule, and he was the supreme military and political governor on this territory, and he did not care, and a ** party would never agree; Moreover, if he blindly resists, he will also send someone who is willing to take care of it - naturally, he thinks that anyone who manages Ningyang is not as good as him Zhang Guixin.

Gotta manage, gotta manage to the end! For the sake of the people of Ningyang, for the tranquility of the three counties around Ningyang, for the sake of the people of Tianjiapu to shed less blood, and in order to sit firmly in the position of the town guard, he Zhang Guixin had to make a decision immediately!

Zhang Guixin handed the binoculars to a guard beside him, slowly paced a few steps on the sundeck, and then took off his hat and fanned the wind.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, do you think you should ask your brothers to expel the kiln people from the mining area first, and then make plans?" Li Bingchi said to Zhang Guixin anxiously.

Zhang Guixin was silent.

He fanned his hat on his chest fiercely, panting as he fanned, as if he hadn't noticed Li Bingchi's presence at all.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, we can't let them continue to make trouble like this no matter what! I think that if there is a regiment of brothers, I can expel them from the mine......"

Zhang Guixin finally couldn't hold it back, his face pulled down, and his hat slammed on his head:

"Li Zhuanban, I think this brigade commander will let you forget it!"

"Brigade Commander Zhang, you ...... Don't be angry......"

Zhang Guixin's eyes widened:

"I'm angry? I think you're fainting! You all have to fucking see how many people are in this mine?! How did Lao Tzu drive away? Shoot at them? ”

Li Shicheng immediately climbed up along the pole:

"Don't shoot, once you shoot, things can't be cleaned up, Brigade Commander Zhang is thoughtful!"

"Is there no way around it?"

Zhang Guixin smiled coldly:

"I still have you to take the way! Didn't you come up with the idea of sealing the well? How can an accident be pushed onto someone else's head! ”

Li Bingchi was furious, but he didn't dare to make a sound, Chen Xiangyu, the company's assistant standing behind him, couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness, and said lukewarmly:

"Li Zhuanban, you also help Brigade Commander Zhang come up with an idea!"

Zhang Guixin became angry again, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and gave Chen Xiangyu a shot:

"Help me with an idea? Who the fuck am I helping? What bastards to help! ”

Li Bingchi seized the opportunity and immediately counterattacked:

"Isn't all this caused by your Dahua company?! Your company will be responsible for all the consequences caused in the future, and you should not be so easy now! ”

"Yes! Yes! Don't make any noise, let's listen to Brigade Commander Zhang's ......," Li Shicheng advised.

Zhang Guixin pondered for a while, and finally came up with a safe way, with a move of his hand, he called Zheng Fool, the captain of the pistol team, in front of him:

"Lao Zheng, immediately send me an urgent telegram to the Provincial Governor's Office, and the message reads: Urgent! Zhang Guixin, the envoy of Ningyang Town, reported: About 5,000 people from Tianzhen kiln, because of their opposition to the sealing of the well, rioted last night, occupied the wellhead, blocked the key points, and the situation was critical! How to deal with it, please overseer the order, Zhang Bu is now on standby in Tianzhen. Finished. ”

Zheng Fool took the recorded telegram into his arms, saluted Zhang Guixin, turned around and ran to the staircase of the sundeck, and went down to send a report.

Subsequently, Zhang Guixin gave orders to the two battalion commanders beside him:

"You go down immediately, first transfer a company to this sundeck, and then, quickly surround the mining area, cut off all communication between inside and outside the mine, and be careful, do not shoot at the kiln people without authorization!"

One battalion commander asked:

"If they do it, won't they shoot?"

Zhang Guixin thought for a moment and said decisively:

"Even if they do it first, they can't shoot! No armed conflict with them is to be entered into until a telegram from the Overseer arrives. ”

"Yes!"

The two battalion commanders also got off the terrace.

"So be it, gentlemen! That's all I can do now. I, Zhang, am a soldier, and a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty; Without orders from the Overseers, I'm going to have to maintain the status quo, you know? ”

Zhang Guixin smiled, laughing very unnaturally, his eyelids squeezed, and the flesh on his cheeks shrugged, as if crying.

It was the only laugh he had since he stepped onto the stage.

This is very rare - all the people around the brigade chief want people to think so, and with the brigade leader's difficult smile, they seem to be able to breathe a little relief.

At about 10 a.m., the connection between inside and outside the mine was completely severed, and more than 500 soldiers surrounded the entire mine area with loaded guns and live ammunition.

There were no large-scale bloodsheds.

During the siege, the GIs only fired into the sky, and only used leather boots, horsewhips, and ** against some of the potters who tried to resist—and by 11:20 a.m., not a single person had died as a result of the clashes. This can be described as a miracle. This miracle shows that both sides of the conflict are restrained, sensible, and unwilling to escalate the situation.

At first, the potters didn't realize that cutting off the connection between inside and outside the mine would be a danger to them – not only did they not realize it, but their leader, Hu Gongye, the general representative of the Kiln Workers' Troupe, didn't realize it. At that time, Gong Ye was lying on the kang and blowing smoke bubbles, and after hearing the report of the potter's representative, he only moved slightly on the kang and did not make any other indications at all. Gong Ye was blowing smoke bubbles seriously and responsibly, and at the same time thought not very seriously and responsibly: This is nothing serious, the soldiers will surround the mining area, who can tell him not to besiege? As long as you have a few wells in your hands! Isn't controlling a few wellheads enough to thwart their plan to seal the well? Besides, with these more than 800 soldiers, it would not be easy to drive more than 5,000 potters out of the mine without much effort.

Gong Ye didn't have the slightest hint of being in a hurry.

After having enough of smoking, sneezing two loud times, and wiping away the sticky saliva and snot on his lips and beard with a silk, Gong Ye remembered the problem of eating for the potters in the mine - this problem turned out to be not a problem, and the chores in the rear of baking pancakes and salty soup were all handled by Tian Er, and Tian Er organized the ladies in the town to do it separately, and then, as a team, just send them one by one, anyway, the town is only separated by a river in the mine, and it is not troublesome. Not now, the link between inside and outside the mine has been cut off, pancakes and salty soup cannot be delivered, and hunger will eventually cause the potters who occupy the mouth of the shaft to quit the mine.

This is extremely vicious.

Gong Ye saw through Zhang Guixin's trick at a glance.

Gong Ye therefore thought of other problems: cutting off the connection between inside and outside the mine, the command in the mine will also fail, and Gong Ye's orders will be stabbed outside the mine by the guns of the soldiers, and the expected effect will not be obtained; In the mine, there will be a chaotic situation without a leader, and the company and the first party will take advantage of the situation to break each one.

No way! Gotta hit it! At the very least, it is necessary to seize the company's gate and fully control one of the channels connecting the mine and the outside of the mine. Without this passage, it would be useless to occupy the mouth of the well with 8,000 or 10,000 people!

Gong Ye didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly changed his clothes and hats, and led a few entourages to cross the boundary street to see Tian Er, wanting to discuss with Tian Er's master about "fighting".

The second master Tian is busy putting grain in his backyard, and several long-term workers in the Tian family's compound are weighing the old sorghum and gray dried white taro at the door of a big house, and a large group of ladies are waiting in line to take the weighed dried white taro and sorghum rice home to make pancakes for the potters.

The second master stood there and watched very seriously, and from time to time he told the long-term worker in charge of the scale to flatten the scale, and occasionally briefly explained a few words to those girls.

Naturally, the grain account is to be kept. The meeting of the potters' delegation has been decided, and everyone must have money to contribute, grain to pay, someone to send people, guns to shoot, and everything that comes out will be recorded in the account, and the final account will be settled with Dahua Company in the future. Gong Ye decided that Tian Er would take the opportunity to make some benefits, and he would never cheapen the company's bastards, so he made trouble on the grain account, and it was indispensable to record a few thousand catties or tens of thousands of catties. He thought that he also had a few hoards of old sorghum that he had to dispose of, and if he didn't deal with it, he would be eaten by insects - he would also knock the company for a while.

"Second Master!"

"Yo! Gongye, hurry! Sit in the house! ”

"Second master, are you still busy?"

"Not busy! Not busy! Let's go, let's go, let's talk in the house! ”

Gong Ye walked through the two gates with the second master, and sat down in the hall of the second courtyard. As soon as he sat down, Gong Ye opened the sect and said:

"Second master, I also have a few hoards of good sorghum miles at home! At present, the potters have no food and clothing, I want to take it out first to help everyone, if the company can return it in the future, I will pay it back; If you don't pay it back, forget it, even if I donate it to everyone! ”

Gong Ye spoke generously.

The second old man immediately squeezed out a moving smile on his face, shook his pigtails, and lost no time in praising it:

"Righteous deeds! Righteous deeds! Gongye, you are really righteous and squandering money! Good! Good! In a few days, I will call someone to the house and say that the borrowed grain always has to be repaid, and when the time comes, you will pay your own account! ”

This matter is finished in two sentences. So, Gong Ye got back to business, his face tightened, and he said to the second master very seriously:

"Second master, do you know! Zhang Guixin's soldiers fenced off the mining area......"

"I heard that! I've heard that! ”

Gong Ye clenched his five fingers into a fist and shook them on his chest; The thin head with bruised muscles probed leisurely in front of the second master's broad and thick chest, and said very secretly:

"I'm going to have to hit it! At least we must take the gate of the company, otherwise, the kiln workers in the mine will be trapped to death, and we will not even be able to send grain and grass in! ”

Gongye is the main battle faction, and his position is very firm:

"I paddled and figured I could fight! Before fighting, report to the people in the mine, let the people in the mine fight outside, and the people outside the mine fight inside, and a two-sided attack will definitely be able to recapture the gate......"

The second master is the lord and faction. The second master does not advocate fighting:

"Gongye, I thought I couldn't fight for the time being. We should salute before we fight. I think so, they surround the mine, let them surround it! As long as they don't use force, we won't use force either, and if we can stalemate like this, it will be our victory! After a day of stalemate, the workers who died under the kiln have more hope......"

Gong Ye thought that he must be smarter than the second master this time, but the second master didn't expect the belly problem of the potters in the mine:

"But second master, don't forget, your old gentleman: there are 5,000 people in the mine who want to eat!"

The second master is still wiser than Gong Ye this time:

"I thought of it a long time ago! I replaced all the men who delivered the food, and let the girls take the children to deliver it! I don't believe that Zhang Guixin's soldiers dare to use force against these widowed women! ”

"Good!"

Gong Ye is really impressed this time! This unattractive Tian Er Master is really half a fucking Zhuge Liangli!

"Wait a while, they will take action, the first to pick the big Yanma and the little rabbit mother, Gongye, you can also pick a few kind of girls from your street, you want to splash a little, like the girl of the three mules, let them go together." If the GIs dare to stop them, they will scratch their faces, this is the trick of the girls! ”

"Second master, then I'll call someone!"

The second master said:

"Not busy! Not busy! Today is gone, and tomorrow is still there! Just let the Yanma and the little bunny mother go today! When the time comes, we will be watching in the tea shed of Tianliu Mazi at the entrance of the mine, if things are not good, the girls will suffer losses and will not be able to enter the mine, we will really have to fight! ”

"The second master has thought really well!"

The second master had already put the pride in his heart clearly on his oily face, but he said:

"Don't dare to say that! Don't dare to say that! I also came up with this idea with the representatives of the potters...... Gongye, according to me, we can't be too anxious, and we must not make a big move until we have to. I think that as long as we occupy the mouth of the big well and hold on for three to five days, they will have to come to the door to negotiate with us! What do you say, Gongye? ”

Gong Ye thought about it and approved the second master's analysis:

"That's right! They have no other way but to negotiate! ”

At this time, the chiming bell hanging on the front wall rang, and the second master looked up at the time on the clock, and stood up hurriedly:

"Gong Ye, it's not early, it's eleven o'clock when you speak, the Yanmar and they may have set off with pancakes and salty soup, let's go to Tian Liumazi's tea shed to take a look!"

Gong Ye also stood up:

"Let's go, let's see!"

"Gong Ye, please!"

"Second master, please!"

The two masters were very sincere and humble, and almost walked out of the door of the hall next to each other, and they were both relaxed and leisurely; His hands were copied behind him, and his braids were swinging behind his head, as if he was not going to supervise the girls who delivered food, but to watch the theater.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, Gong Ye couldn't help humming a piece of "The Story of the Empty City":

I stood on the castle tower and watched the mountain view,

Suddenly, I heard that there was chaos under the mountain......

Gong Ye is not confident enough, his voice is not bright, but he hums very tastefully, it's like that!

When he arrived at the tea shed of Tian Liumazi, Tian Liumazi panicked, as if to welcome the holy car, wiped the stool, handed over foreign cigarettes, first beckoned the two masters to sit down on the stool, and then, took out a set of fine porcelain tea sets that were carefully collected, washed a few times in front of the two masters very seriously, and brewed a pot of strong fragrant tea.

Gong Ye and the second master couldn't sit on a stool, Gong Ye was old, and he had an old problem of back pain, and there was no head behind him, so he felt a sore back. The second old man was too fat, his buttocks were big, and he felt embarrassed when he sat on a narrow bench. So, Tian Liu Mazi jumped to a tavern opposite like a rabbit, borrowed two Taishi chairs, and rearranged the two old men to sit down comfortably.

Sitting on the Taishi chair and drinking fragrant tea, Tian Er asked Tian Liumazi with concern:

"Sixth, is business okay?"

"It's fine! OK! It's just that...... It's just that you can't make much money selling tea, and a few years ago, Xiao did a little business with a few uncles from the county Chamber of Commerce......"

"Well, good! Good! ”

At this time, Gong Ye, who had been watching the street, called softly, and while shouting, he also pulled the sleeve of the second master with his hand:

"Second master, look, look, they're here!"

Sure enough, it came. The second master really saw that in several alleys next to the boundary street, a group of women carrying burdens and baskets poured out one after another, and these people gradually converged into a noisy flow of people on the boundary street, noisily marching along the boundary street to the gate of the company, and in a blink of an eye, the big yanma and the little rabbit mother who walked in the head had come to the edge of the tea shed.

The big yanma and the little rabbit mother both saw Tian Er.

Before they could speak, Second Master Tian waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead! Go for it! We're here to watch, and if they dare to use force, we'll give them some color! ”

The food delivery team rushed over, rushed to the gate of the company, and poured to the big stone bridge of the company's mine protection river.

At this time, Gong Ye, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, couldn't help but sweat for the women on the bridge, and Gong Ye even thought that it was time to fight......

Tian Da fussed and wanted to pee. He didn't want to climb under the well for this little bubble of urine. It's not worth it - it takes a lot of energy to go up and down, and I can't seem to hold it anymore at this point. He lowered his head and glanced at the ground, and saw that there happened to be no one on the ground, so he decided to stand on the beam of the well tower and pee.

It's really interesting. Seeing the urine discharged from his body arcing in the air, and then throwing it to the ground like an arrow, Tian Dahao felt an indescribable pleasure and satisfaction. Who the fuck says potters don't have fun? He has a lot of entertainment, think about it, life is full of entertainment! On the ground, he could pee very high, he could pee from the men's hut to the women's hut - it was not easy, he had only succeeded once in his life, and the second time he peed on his head......

He peed condescendingly, constantly changing directions, wishing he could pee farther, drawing the arc in the air a little bigger.

But he wounded his brother by mistake.

A big man who was hit in the head was looking up and scolding:

"Tian Dafu, my aunt, why the fuck are you peeing on Lao Tzu's head?!"

Tian Dahao recognized that the big man was Tian Datou, the head of the second regiment. He is not afraid of him.

"Big head, fuck me! Where are you not good at lying down, you have to lie down under my ** uncle! ”

It's a pun on what a fuss about, it's very reasonable!

Tian Datou did not show weakness, rolled up his sleeves and rolled his arms, and scolded with his teeth and claws:

"Furss, you come down! I'm going to beat you up! If you don't come down, you'll be raised! ”

Tian Datou gathered a lot of people around him at once, and many people followed suit, hoping that the two of them could fight lively, adding a little fun to their monotonous life.

"Punch! Whoop, down, and big head beaten! ”

"Big head, you climb up!"

"Yes, big brother, you climb up!"

Tian Datou was reluctant to climb up, and still raised his face and scolded:

"Make a fuss, my day your aunt, do you dare to come down?"

Tian Dahao looked at Tian Datou's upturned face, and felt that it was very funny, so he had the idea of urinating again. He thought that if he could urinate on the flat face of the big head at once, it would be very good-looking. Caught off guard, he shot all the remaining urine into the big head's face.

Regretful! The urine didn't hit the big head, but it hit a few guys who were watching the excitement and coaxing.

This aroused the anger of the crowd, and two men with the smell of commotion climbed up along the crooked steel beams.

Tian Da was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, he saw the noisy crowd on the stone bridge at the entrance of the mine, and saw the girls delivering the food entangled with the soldiers, his eyes lit up, and he shouted:

"Holy shit! Don't make a fuss, brethren! There is a case! There is a case! ”

The people on the ground were stunned.

Tian Datou was the head of the regiment and had the great responsibility of guarding the wellhead, so he asked loudly:

", what's going on?"

"Oh no! The ladies outside the mine brought us food, but they were stopped by the soldiers at the gate! Big head, quick, quick! Send some people to meet them! ”

"You're a fucking liar!" Big Head doesn't believe it.

"Fuck, it's a ** to cheat!" The fuss is serious this time.

"Let's go! Pick them up! Tian Datou hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand and led the No. 100 people to walk towards the gate along the small coal railway paved at the wellhead.

Tian Dahao also felt hungry, tied his trouser belt, took the initiative to give up the lookout task, climbed the steel beam step by step and went down to the ground, and followed Tian Datou's response team to the gate. It doesn't matter what it looks at or not, it doesn't matter if it's a big fuss! It's a big fuss and it's not the head of the regiment, how can you manage so much.

Occupying the mouth of the main well is the second group of potters with the surname Tian as the main body, a total of ten teams, and the captain of the third team is the leader of the big trouble, and also the representative of the potters' delegation. But he felt wronged, he thought that he could be the head of the regiment, but Tian Er didn't let him be. Second Master Tian didn't take him as a person at all! Therefore, he is not willing to take any responsibility, he just gangsters with everyone! After occupying the wellhead, he voluntarily gave up his duties as captain and climbed to the top of the well building - he thought it was fun to be on the well floor and see the scenery.

Now, hungry and unsightly, he had to run out of the mine to see; Fucking the use of guarding a broken well? If you don't keep it, you won't serve it, even if you give it to a regiment leader, you won't serve it! You have to mix it up first, and then find a place to squint it, if only there was a woman......

These days, for some reason, he always thinks of Xiao Wuzi, and he can't help but feel the many benefits of Xiao Wuzi. After all, he is almost thirty years old, and he has to become a family anyway, since he has made the belly of the little fifth son of the other family bigger, then it is also appropriate to make do with marrying a wife. However, since the accident that night, he has not found a suitable opportunity to talk to the second master. The reporter from the provincial capital came to report last night, and when he went to find the second master, he wanted to take the opportunity to talk about it, but can he talk about it? The second master is busy with big things!

I don't know what Xiao Wuzi is doing these days? Her son Hu Fuxiang didn't come up when she went down to the kiln to save people, she straightened her belly again, how can she live these days......

Tian Dafu thought wildly, hung his head, pulled a pair of broken shoes that had stepped on the gang, walked "kicking and dragging", and walked to the intersection of the small railway and the gray road and was tripped by the road fork, one of his broken shoes was tripped and flew, and he simply threw out the other shoe that couldn't hang his feet......

After walking another 100 meters on the ash road, I passed through the iron gate of the mining area. It was very close to the company's gate, and there was a word in front of me that it was a fight.

Sure enough, he heard several crisp, loud gunshots, as if they were ringing around him. After the gunshots rang out, a chaotic shout and clamor suddenly arose, and the rough shouting, the clashing of knives and sticks, and the cries of the women mixed into a hot wave, rippling and clamouring in the air near the company gate.

The big fuss was hot in his heart, desperately pushing through the crowd and rushing forward desperately. He instinctively wanted to make something happen, and wanted to find a place to vent his resentment. As he went on a rampage, he shouted:

"Punch! Beat these bastards! ”

So many people also took up axes and clubs, and shouted with him:

"Punch! Beat these bastards! ”

But he didn't carry a knife. When he captured the mouth of the well last night, he brought a knife, and later, when he climbed up to the well tower to see the scenery, the knife was lent to the three urine envoys of the East Courtyard. I made a big fuss and wanted to find three urine, but I didn't see three urine, but I saw three urine's brother Ergoudan, who was carrying a musket.

The big fuss squeezed in front of the second dog, and snatched his musket:

"Second brother, give me an envoy!"

"Make a fuss, don't make a fuss, be careful of blowing up!"

Ignoring the fuss, he squeezed forward again with a gun, and by the time he finally squeezed to the gate of the company, everything was over. Tian Datou and the potters who walked in front had taken full control of the gate, the guns of a dozen GIs had all been confiscated, and the bodies of two wounded women and a GI were lying on the sacks at the gate, and some girls were crying around the two wounded women.

The big fuss saw the Yanma scolding there with his waist crossed, scolding and slapping a few soldiers:

"Damn! How dare you shoot our orphans and widows, and the old lady will kill you! Strangled you! ”

A group of girls also rushed over and tore the GIs who had been taken prisoner. The GIs begged for mercy, but the ladies didn't buy it at all, and scratched at the GIs with their sharp nails, until they scratched the bloody marks on the faces and necks of a dozen GIs. Their clothes were torn, too, and strands of rags hung down in scattered places, looking very embarrassed.

After making a fuss for a while, Tian Datou finally ordered his brothers to tear the ladies apart, and told them to quickly pick up the pancakes and salty soup into the mine.

Some of the girls were still chattering around the two injured women, and Dayang immediately went to drag them away one by one:

"Sensei said! It's all said! We're going to have to do it with these bastards like the men! Gotta do it with a real gun! Let's go, let's get the food to the mine first! ”

The ladies wiped their tears, picked up pancakes and salty soup, and entered the mine under the protection and help of the potters......

At this time, Tian Dahao inadvertently found the little five sons mixed in the middle of the girls. Xiao Wuzi was wearing a wide blue background and white flower gown with patches on the front, and a basket in his hand, and a piece of cloth covering the basket, and he couldn't figure out what was in the basket.

Xiao Wuzi also saw him, and walked towards him with a high bulging belly, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Hooray!"

"Wuzi, what are you doing here?"

The little five sons took great care to uncover the cloth that covered the basket:

"I'll get you something to eat! Look, I also boiled eggs for you......"

For a while, I made a fuss but felt uncomfortable. I don't know what's going on, when he is alone, he always thinks of Xiao Wuzi very well, and he always resolves again and again to marry her as a wife; But as soon as I saw her, it was all over. He felt that he had been greatly wronged by the relationship between him and her, and it was difficult for him to imagine how he would live with her in the future.

Xiao Wuzi didn't care about this, she grabbed his hand like a really married daughter-in-law, and pulled him to hide behind the watchtower:

"Make a fuss, don't mess around with them!"

The big fuss looked unhappy:

"What's going on?"

Tears welled up in Xiao Wuzi's eyes:

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid! Dad is now dead or alive under the kiln, if you want to have another good one, what will I do in the future? ”

It's very unpleasant to make a fuss:

"I haven't told the second master about our business!"

Xiao Wuzi tilted his head:

"I don't care if you say it or not, you have to marry me anyway! Or I'll hang myself in front of your house!" ”

Loud fuss impatiently said:

"Good! Good! Let's talk about this later, you go back first, I still have something to do! ”

Xiao Wuzi grabbed the hand that made a fuss again:

"Promise me, don't mess around with them......"

The fuss was originally meant to retreat - since the second master and the tribute master of the Hu family didn't treat him as a human being, why did he still be stunned here! However, as soon as he saw Xiao Wuzi's face, he felt that he had been greatly wronged, and he felt that it was better to make trouble and make trouble with everyone than to squat at home and guard this broken woman!

So, he made a serious face:

"How? As a representative of the potters, and I am the captain, how can I run home and not do it? Let's go back! Let's go back! You women don't understand our men's business! ”

"That'...... Then you have to be careful! ”

"Yes! Yes! ”

"Here, you can take these foods!"

Dafu unceremoniously took all the eggs in the basket into his arms, but he didn't take any of the sorghum pancakes in the basket:

"I don't want pancakes, the second master will send them, you can take them back and eat them!"

After saying that, Da Fu didn't dare to look at Xiao Wuzi again, he turned around and left, he walked in a hurry, as if he was a big man with all kinds of opportunities, and he didn't look back at all.

He was going to find a place to squint.

…………

The bloody scene at the gate of the mine, Hu Gongye and Tian Er saw it really clearly. The development of things was too hurried and sudden, Gong Ye and the second master originally calculated that the soldiers would not dare to shoot, but unexpectedly, the soldiers actually shot! Moreover, wounded two unarmed women!

As soon as the gun in the soldier's hand rang out, Gong Ye immediately left the tea shed and went to mobilize people. But unexpectedly, the potters in the mine were killed, and before the soldiers and horses of the Gong Ye were transferred, they had already solved the bastard soldiers very neatly.

The second master felt that he was in trouble, and after Gongye's reinforcements and the potters in the mine met on the big stone bridge at the entrance of the mine, he immediately said to Gongye:

"The GIs won't give up, the matter has come to this point, we have to make some serious preparations, if the GIs from elsewhere come to attack, we will have to accompany them! And it's so important for us to keep this gate! ”

Gong Ye immediately entered the mine to arrange, and reorganized the two teams of potters who brought hundreds of people and Tian Datou, and transferred the eighteen guns that had just been captured, the original dozens of steel guns, and more than 20 muskets to the gatehouse at the gatehouse, and arranged dozens of knife men on the outside of the big stone bridge as the first line of defense; More than 100 potters with axes and sticks were arranged on the inside of the stone bridge and near the gate to be the second line of defense; The remaining 100 people were arranged along the mine river as a maneuver, intending to fight to the death with the soldiers.

At 12:35 p.m., machine guns were erected on the demarcation street in front of the mine gate, and Wang Yiding, commander of the second battalion of the 1st Regiment of Zhang Guixin's department, personally shouted to the potters to abandon the gate and withdraw from the mine, otherwise they would be solved by force.

Gong Ye didn't buy it.

Gong Ye hid in the turret and gave an order, telling the workers guarding the turret to escort the captured soldiers to the top of the gatehouse, and solemnly declared: As long as the soldiers use force and start attacking, they will kill these eighteen soldiers first.

The two sides confronted each other......

As of 2:40 p.m. on the same day, the telegram from the Provincial Governor's Office had not arrived, and Zhang Guixin, the town guard, did not dare to make an unauthorized claim, so he called the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce in Beijing at 3:50 p.m. to ask for a solution. At 4:30 a.m., the provincial governor's office finally issued a telegram order. Dian Lingyun: "The tragedy of the field and mine is a major concern, and the whole country is concerned about it. At this juncture, we must be cautious and settle the matter by peaceful means, and we must not use force to provoke civil unrest. Please immediately contact and negotiate with the representatives of the kiln people, understand the righteousness, and urge them to withdraw; Details of the progress of the negotiations will be reported by a separate telegram for decision. ”

At 6:25 a.m., the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of Beijing also replied to the cloud: "The president, the State Council, and relevant departments are very concerned about the changes in the fields and mines, and will organize the members of the second house of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the parliament to inspect and appease them, so we hope to do our best to maintain them, and we will hold consultations after the arrival of the ** committee group......."

There was no war at night.
