Seventy-first round of means
After the meeting, Yang Chengying sat alone on the stool, thoughtful.
He was almost certain that Qi Dazhuang would not be able to pull his face and let his brothers build farming tools, and he would not let them go back to farming.
If the Golden State is rich, it can turn a blind eye to it.
What the situation is now!
Later Jin was eyeing the north, the Ming court was holding its breath and wanted to recover its homeland, and Jinzhou had just improved a little, if they were indulged, it would only delay spring plowing and unnecessary damage to the forest.
Thinking of this, Yang Chengying felt that he should think of a way to solve it.
At this time, I would rather go and return.
"Mr. Ning, why did you come back suddenly? Anything else? Yang Chengying asked.
"General, are you worried about Qi Dazhuang and those charcoal burners?" I asked rhetorically.
Yang Chengying was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "After all, they have made a great contribution, I can't cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”
Unexpectedly, I laughed after listening to it.
Yang Chengying hurriedly asked him why he laughed.
He replied, "General, you are a bit duplicitous. As spring approaches, the demand for charcoal will decline rapidly, and it is no longer cost-effective to spend a lot of money on charcoal. At this time, it was the right decision to adjust to building farm tools. ”
"But," he said, "Qi Dazhuang doesn't have the ability to settle his subordinates, and the general is also worried about this matter." ”
After listening, Yang Chengying hurriedly looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You won't come up with a 'bad idea', right?" ”
Ning Wan looked proud: "Exactly." ”
"No, no!" Yang Chengying waved his hand again and again, "You are using all conspiracies and tricks, there is no problem in dealing with the enemy, you can't deal with your own people." ”
Ning Wan looked at the Lord with a disgusted face and smiled dumbly.
People who are decisive in killing outside and can do anything shameless are so gentle on the inside.
"My plan is to ensure that there will not be the kind of result that the general thinks."
After I finished speaking, I said something in Yang Chengying's ear.
Yang Chengying was taken aback: "On scheming, you are really this!" He gave him a thumbs up.
Ning Wan became more and more proud: "General, you can't be too kind-hearted. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River have nurtured many creatures on both sides of the river for thousands of years, but they must be managed and not allowed to overflow. The same is true now, where indulgence is tantamount to chaos in governance. ”
After hearing these words, Yang Chengying finally made up his mind and acted according to the plan.
Before the charcoal kiln, Qi Dazhuang was persuading his brothers to temporarily close the charcoal kiln and concentrate on building agricultural tools.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this request was put forward, it was opposed by everyone.
"Big brother, we have worked hard for so long, and we finally made some money, and if we say it's closed, it's closed!"
A thin man was the first to jump out and object: "We still have a family to support, and we will never agree to the request from above." ”
One person spoke, and the others followed: "Yes, we don't agree!" ”
Qi Dazhuang hurriedly raised his hand to let them whisper, and persuaded: "The tools and money and grain for making the charcoal kiln are all given to us from above, and they are not our own, why don't you agree!" Besides, the boss also understands everyone's hard work and allows those who want to return to their hometowns to go back. ”
"Boss, you're not right. It's not that you're afraid that you'll lead us into trouble and appease us. You forgot that the Ming army almost made a fuss last time, but they were transferred away. A fat man said.
The tall, thin man also said, "That's it." The boss is actually very afraid of us, boss, don't be afraid, there are us behind you to support you, you talk to the boss, we will continue to burn charcoal. ”
Qi Dazhuang looked around and found that about seventy percent echoed the voice.
Only Sancheng chose to be silent, including Mo Mazi.
Mo Mazi went to his house after Yang Chengying, and soon after, when Qi Dazhuang was considering the candidate, he recruited him into a charcoal burner.
"What do you say?" Qi Dazhuang asked him.
Mo Mazi hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and replied: "Boss, my family has survived until now by relying on the general." The general asked me to do whatever I wanted, and besides, we were hired in the first place, and the money and food were all given by the general, so how could we do such an ungrateful thing. ”
As soon as he said this, some of them bowed their heads and fell silent.
Qi Dazhuang got off the donkey and said loudly: "Mo Mazi is right, we can't do this kind of thing." Everyone listened to my advice, and changed it to a blacksmith shop for farming tools. ”
Some people were unwilling, and just as they were about to speak, they saw two Ming soldiers.
The young soldier at the head asked, "Which one is Qi Zhuangshi?" ”
"Me." Qi Dazhuang responded and stood up: "What part of the military master is it?" ”
The soldier said: "I am the general's personal guard, and I was ordered to ask Qi Zhuangshi, how is the work done?" ”
"Everything's fine, the big guy is ready to get his hands dirty with farm tools."
Qi Dazhuang didn't say the three words "playing farm tools", but he was rudely interrupted.
"Master Jun, go back and tell the general that we don't want his money and food, but the charcoal kiln is open."
The thin man who was the first to speak just now jumped out again.
The guard frowned, and said coldly: "This brother, do you have any misunderstanding about this matter?" A general's order is an order, and you should not be allowed not to carry it out. ”
In the past, the charcoal burners would not have dared to breathe.
But after the last incident, they thought that Yang Chengying was really afraid that they would make trouble.
The thin man immediately said: "How much hardship have we endured to earn food and clothing, and the general's words are like asking us to change, but there is no door." ”
Others were frightened by hunger and immediately expressed their support.
"Do you want to rebel one by one?" The guard asked loudly.
When Qi Dazhuang heard this, he was afraid that the two sides would have a conflict and became a peacemaker.
"The military master misunderstood." Qi Dazhuang said in a harmonious voice, "What they mean is that they can delay for two days, and there are still some big households who want our carbon!" ”
The guard said coldly: "No, spring ploughing is imminent, and no one is allowed to hold back." ”
The cold attitude and the stubbornness that refused to accommodate ignited the anger in everyone's hearts, and they all thought that the Golden State Command Envoy was impersonal, and they surrounded him one after another.
Qi Dazhuang stretched out his arms and tried his best to stop it, but failed.
Hundreds of charcoal burners surrounded the two guards in the middle, taking advantage of the large number of people and pushing them.
The original intention was to push them away from the charcoal kiln.
However, I don't know who pushed one of the guards to the ground.
"You...... You guys...... Rebel! The guard took the signal from his waist and threw it into the air.
There was a thud.
Compared to the noisy and angry voices of the charcoal burners, this signal was nothing.
Qi Dazhuang's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted desperately: "Don't make trouble!" You're in trouble! ”
None of them could stop the angry charcoal burners from punching and kicking the two guards.
The guards fell to the ground, protecting the vital parts of their bodies.
A very short time has passed.
Bells and bells sounded in all directions.
and trampling...... Neat footsteps.
"Lin Ziying surrounds the charcoal kiln with me!"
"The Wind Word Camp is cruising outside with me to prevent anyone from escaping!"
With a pole and a bird, the Lin Zi battalion lined up in formation and aimed at the charcoal burners.
After a while, a group of Ming troops appeared in view.
They were the Ming army attached to during the Battle of Gaizhou.
