Chapter 292

"Uncle, shall we do it now?"

"What hands?"

Song Xiance glanced at Jiang Wuxian and said: "Do it, do it, you know how to do it, never use your brain to do things!" ”

Jiang Wuxi looked at the miners around him, but found that these miners didn't care about the change of master on their heads.

In their eyes, no matter who is the owner of the mine, it is not their turn to be the owner, and no matter who the mine belongs to, they are still absenteeism. Miners who pin their heads to their belts every day.

After these miners saw the arrival of Yang Tianci, the steward of the Lu Wangfu, they immediately began to line up to welcome the new steward Yang Tianci, as for Song Xiance and others, they didn't even bother to look at it.

As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the era of Song Xiance has passed.

"You ungrateful ......"

Without waiting for Jiang Wuxian to scold, Song Xiance covered Jiang Wuxian's mouth: "Don't say it, let's go!" ”

Lin Xuzong, Song Xiance, Jiang Wuxian and others left the Huanggang Coal Mine like lost dogs, and walked to the path outside the coal mine, Jiang Wuxian pointed to the coal mine behind him and said, "Uncle, forget it?" ”

"Or else?"

"I can't figure it out, we've been planning for so long and have suffered so much......"

"How can it be so easy to rebel!"

Song Xiance smiled bitterly: "The people in this world have a fluke mentality, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, they will not rebel, they will obey!" ”

"Our food is fed to dogs, dogs without conscience!"

"That's human nature!"

Song Xiance had actually expected the reactions of these miners for a long time, and the reactions of the miners were also in his calculations, so why wasn't he taking advantage of human nature?

No matter how good he is to these miners, these absentees who are willing to be obedient will not rebel against him, and those who are really willing to put their heads on their belts to rebel are poor people who can't survive.

Jiang Wuxi was already so aggrieved that he was about to go crazy, and since he arrived in Liaodong, he began to taste what it was like to be a real person. Even Cheng Shijie, who has the highest status in Liaodong, doesn't have to bow when you see Cheng Shijie, let alone kneel, you can say hello to him if you are happy, even if you ignore him, there is no problem.

It is not that there are no poor people in Liaodong, even if they are poor, no one can snatch half of the cake in his hand, and whoever robs it will rob the law and will be disposed of.

If you work for someone in Liaodong, you will get a salary, and you can earn money to eat with your own hands, but in Shandong, you don't have to think about making money, and it is good to be able to stutter. In Shandong, even if Song Xiance is already a rich man, they do not have the ability to keep their wealth, saying that if they are robbed, they will be robbed.

Jiang Wuxian said in a sullen voice: "Shandong is a good place, if the big marshal comes to govern Shandong, or hands over the entire Shandong and Liaodong to him to govern, the people will definitely be able to live well!" I've seen it all, the products in this area of Shandong are very rich, but those bastards just have a way to make the people miserable! ”

"The court won't agree to ......"

Song Xiance smiled: "However, we don't need them to agree!" They refused to hand over Shandong to Dashuai, so let's take this fertile land for Dashuai! ”

The officers and men of the Ning Navy beside Song Xiance were silent in an instant, they had not been away from the Ning Navy for a long time, but what they had seen and heard was enough to completely destroy their last good impression of this court, this court was no longer worthy of ruling this country!

They don't have the ability to overthrow the entire Ming Dynasty, but they can overthrow the Ming Dynasty's rule in Shandong, and then dedicate this fertile piece to the marshal!

They are already rotten, and if they can't govern the country well internally so that the people have enough food and clothing, and externally they can't defend themselves against foreign enemies and expand their territory, please get out of the way and let those who have this ability come!

……

Soon, the Huanggang miners began to work, and they became miners in the Lu Wangfu, and the Lu Wangfu did not promise them wages, nor did they promise them treatment.

When Yang Tian lectured the miners, he simply told the miners that you are now from King Lu's mansion, King Lu is merciful, give you a mouthful of food, you must know how to be grateful, work hard for King Lu, dig more coal, earn more silver, in order to be worthy of King Lu's gift.

The property income of the Lu Wangfu is frighteningly high, the Wangfukou Village alone is as much as more than 6,200 tilts, just one is one hundred acres, a total of as many as 620,000 acres of land, and the annual harvest of tens of thousands of stone grain rent, in addition to the salt introduction, mining taxes, a large number of shops, shipping, etc., miscellaneous and miscellaneous add up, the annual income is not less than 800,000 taels of silver.

If Emperor Chongzhen knew that a prince of their old Zhu family could harvest more than 800,000 taels of silver a year, not counting the court's fortune, how would he feel?

The money issued to them by the imperial court, the prince's annual allowance is 50,000 stone of grain and rice, 25,000 yuan in banknotes, and a large amount of silk cloth, horses, materials, and money.

The county king has 6,000 stone of grain and rice; Below the king of the county are the princess, the general of the town of the country, the general of the auxiliary country, the general of the state of Fengguo, the lieutenant of the town of the country, the lieutenant of the auxiliary country, and the lieutenant of the state of the country...... Each one gets a large sum of rice.

King Lu has been inherited for ten generations, and the people of King Lu's Mansion are quite prosperous, and there are dozens of generals in Zhenguo alone, which is really star-studded! It is not difficult to imagine what a heavy burden so many imperial relatives are to the country and the localities!

Although in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to reduce the vassal king's Lu rice by four-fifths, but he couldn't stand the vassal king's birth, and a vassal king gave birth to dozens or hundreds of sons, and he also made up for the loss.

With so many people, the income of the Lu Wangfu is not enough, because they have to distribute a large number of brocade cloth and other items to a large number of Zhenguo generals, auxiliary generals, Fengguo generals every year, which is a large amount of expenses.

The most cheating thing is that even King Lu doesn't know how many children and grandchildren those county kings have, so you can only send as many people as they report!

Song Xiance can give two-thirds of the income to the miners as wages and benefits, but it is absolutely impossible for the Lu Wangfu to wait until noon, according to the past, the canteen in the mine should be opened, but Yang Tianci does not have the slightest posture of stopping work and eating.

The movement was a little slower, and Yang Tianci's leather whip was drawn.

"Bang Bang ......"

Several miners were pumped and shuddered, screaming.

"Work hard, don't work hard, this is the end!"

"How do you beat people?"

"What's wrong with beating you,!"

"I'm gone!"

A young miner threw the shovel in his hand on the ground and shouted at Yang Tianci: "Master, I'm not going to do it!" ”

"Haha!"

Yang Tianci walked towards the young miner with a whip, raised the whip and whipped it towards the young miner.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Yang Tianci scolded while smoking: "Dog mongrel, do you dare to call Lao Tzu in front of Lao Tzu, and dare to call Lao Tzu in the face of Lao Tzu?" ”

Yang Tianci, the steward of the Lu Palace, decided to stand up, and with the bad style of the mine, the young miner who hit the muzzle of the gun was quickly smoked to death.

Seeing the young miner being knocked unconscious, Yang Tianci shouted: "Set up, show the public!" ”

So, on the coal yard of the Huanggang Coal Mine, a wooden shelf was erected, and the young miner who was smoked to the point was put on it, and soon flies flew all over his body, and slowly the young miner died.

Yang Tianci also pointed to the corpse of the young miner and said: "If you don't work hard, this will be the end!" ”

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Now the resentment of the Huanggang coal mine is beginning to grow, if these miners have not eaten enough, have not made money, and have not enjoyed Liaodong-style welfare, they will definitely endure it, at least work in the miners, still have something to eat, and can still live, and once they become homeless, there is only a dead end.

In just half a month, more than 100 miners died in Huanggang, some of whom were beaten to death by the stewards of the Lu Wangfu, some were exhausted to death, and some died of illness because of poor health.

Yang Tianci's mood was quite good, he sold the first batch of coal to Liaodong, more than 30 ships, and made a profit of more than 10,000 taels of silver, which was more than the usual Huanggang Coal Mine earned in a month, and was rewarded by He Qiushan, the chief steward of the Lu Wangfu.

Yang Tianci's small life was very comfortable, and he selected more than a dozen good-looking women from the miners' daughters to serve him.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl pinched his feet, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl rubbed his shoulders, and another woman opened a can, took out the lychees inside, and fed him Yang Tianci's mouth.

As for the miners, they are now living in dire straits, and they eat worse than pigs every day, not to mention the meals they used to eat casually, but now they have two multigrain cakes and a small piece of pickle lumps per meal. The body, which was finally recovered, has been quickly hollowed out.

At the face of the coal mine's tunneling, a tall miner was too tired to work, and he rested for a moment with the handle of his shovel.

However, it attracted a beating from the steward.

"Bang Bang ......"

The whip was whipped on the tall miner's body, but the tall miner did not scream, but stared at the steward's whip and snatched it away. This tall miner's name is Qiao Zhuang, as his name suggests, he is very strong, more than one meter eight tall, and Song Xiance only reached his navel.

Qiao Zhuang was originally the captain of the miners at the time of Song Xiance, and he was very prestigious.

Seeing this scene, these miners collectively fell silent, when Lu Wangfu robbed Song Xiance's coal mine, they didn't make a sound, but the coal mine was not theirs, they didn't care, but the problem is that now they regret it.

When following Song Xiance, they are well fed, warmly dressed, children can go to school, wives can also sew and mend, earn some pocket money, their food is good, not only can they be full, but occasionally meat.

But the problem is, now there is nothing.

It is the so-called easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

Qiao Zhuang snatched the whip of the steward, and the steward was furious, he pointed to the armed servants beside him and said, "If you want to rebel, take this cheap skin for me!" ”

Several Hu drew their swords from their horses and surrounded Qiao Zhuang.

Qiao Zhuang whipped indiscriminately with a whip, and several servants couldn't get close.

The steward roared angrily: "Okay, if you dare to rebel, you will be killed!" ”

Qiao Zhuang danced the whip with a whining sound, his hair was scattered, and he rushed left and right, like madness. He roared like a beast trapped in a cage, frightened, desperate and crazy: "Brothers, haven't you had enough of this kind of life when pigs and dogs are inferior? ”

The miners looked indifferently at Qiao Zhuang in the encirclement, the whip could not kill people, and several servants were desperately whipped, leaving a bloody wound on Qiao Zhuang's body, and as time went by, there were more and more knife marks on Qiao Zhuang's body.

Qiao Zhuang looked at a miner and said, "Liu Quan, you really want to be a fucking king, the one surnamed Yang slept with your daughter-in-law, so you put up with it......"

The miner named Liu Quan bowed his head, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry.

"Shi Laosan, my father was beaten to death by Yang Tianci, you don't even dare to let out a fart, are you still human?"

The miner's eyes turned red instantly.

"Lao Tzu is dead, and he won't let you Lu Wangfu be cheap!"

Qiao Zhuang knew that he couldn't help but move, not to mention that Yang Tianci would torture him to death, he might as well die cleanly, Qiao Zhuang did not retreat but advanced, and directly crashed into the long knife in the hand of a servant.

However, at this moment, Shi Laosan moved, and the shovel in his hand suddenly slapped on the head of the sword-wielding servant, and the servant fell directly to the ground.

The other miners also screamed and rushed at the steward and servant, after all, there were many miners, and they had shovels, iron drills, sledgehammers, and other tools in their hands.

Soon, these servants and stewards were beaten to a blur by these miners.

Looking at these bloody corpses, the miners began to fear again.

"Brother Qiao, what should we do now?"

This question made Qiao Zhuang stunned, looking at the bloody corpses under his feet, everyone was silent, and they were both aggrieved and hesitant, as well as fear.

They were originally homeless refugees, but because Song Xiance discovered the coal mine, he gathered them together to open a mine to make money and exchange food for survival. However, the Lu Wangfu robbed Song Xiance's coal mines and squeezed them as slaves, and they were so angry that they killed the people of the Lu Wangfu, which was the following crime, not only did they have to be killed, but even the nine clans could not be saved.

Now they are meat on the board, life and death depend on the will of the officials, if they are characterized as anti-thieves, they ...... In fact, in either case, they are already dead.

Qiao Zhuang thought for a while and said: "We are ashamed of the owner, otherwise, if we don't do it, we will kill Yang Tianci and them, and then send someone to find the owner back!" ”

"What can the owner do when he comes back? Will he dare to come back? ”

"If you dare or not, the result is the same, if you can't run away from us, can the owner still run away?"

Qiao Zhuang is in a mess, and he doesn't know what to do now.

However, Qiao Zhuang's words were also right, they had no way back, they could only go all the way to the dark.

In the most luxurious room in Huanggang Village, Yang Tianci was happily counting the silver, and the Liaodong side did not lower the price because of the replacement of Huanggang Coal Mine, but instead filled the amount of money, explaining to them that no matter how much coal there was, they wanted it. This allowed Yang Tianze to open up the situation smoothly.

Of course, Yang Tianci is not a good bird, although he is the manager of Lu Wangfu, but he is only a third-level manager, and there are second-level managers, big managers, and chief managers, if Lu Wangfu is regarded as an enterprise group, Yang Tianci is the person in charge of the following subsidiaries.

In addition to large transactions, he did not dare to do anything, in the miners' food and small transactions, he did enough, in just half a month, he embezzled more than 1,600 taels of silver, and if this continued, he would be able to loot tens of thousands of taels of silver in less than three years.

Happily and sadly, just when Yang Tianci was intoxicated with the sweet dream of rolling wealth, his subordinates rushed in in with a panicked look and shouted: "Yang is in charge, disaster is coming, disaster is coming!" ”

Yang Tianci quickly hid the silver, frowned and shouted: "Panicked, what do you look like!" ”

"Those mud legs...... Those mud-legged rebels! ”

"What? What did you say!? ”

"Those mud-legged rebels! They ambushed the overseers and guards in the mines, and they really rebelled! ”

Yang Tianci was not nervous about the miners' rebellion, in his opinion, the mud-legged people were as timid as mice, and they only needed to cut off the leader, and the people below would work honestly. What's more, he has more than 200 escorts, and these guards are much better equipped than the guards.

Even if a few thousand miners rebelled, they could easily be quelled.

When Yang Tianci entered the mine with more than 200 guards, he found that there was a sudden darkness behind him, and it was Qiao Zhuang who appeared behind Yang Tianci.

The mine was not too big, Qiao Zhuang and the others blocked the back road, Yang Tianci realized that he had been tricked, and hurriedly turned around and pointed at Qiao Zhuang and said, "Kill them all!" ”

It's just a pity that Qiao Zhuang didn't give them a chance, they used a four-wheeled vehicle to block the mine, stood behind the four-wheeled vehicle and tore Yang Tianci and other guards to kill, after more than half an hour of tearing, Yang Tianci and others were hacked to death with a knife.

When Song Xiance was brought back by Qiao Zhuang's people, the entire Huanggang Village was filled with the smell of blood, and Yang Tianci could hardly see his human appearance, which showed the miners' hatred for him.

"Boss, save us!"

The miners knelt in front of Song Xiance and said in unison: "Boss, you can save us!" ”

Jiang Wuxi looked at Song Xiance's back with a shocked face, because the reactions of these miners were all within Song Xiance's calculations.

Song Xiance commanded the miners to sit down, he looked at Qiao Zhuang and said, "I remember, you are from Taiyuan, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Qiao Zhuang smiled honestly and said, "It's Taiyuan, Shanxi!" ”

"Taiyuan is a good place, why did you come to Shandong!"

Qiao Zhuang's eyes were slightly red: "The weather is too dry, the crops have failed, and I can't pay the taxes, so I have to flee the famine...... Two sisters and one sister were sold, and my father died of illness on the way, leaving me alone......"

Song Xiance looked at everyone: "That's how you guys came over, right?" ”

The miners began to talk about what had happened to them.

One of the thin teenagers said: "I am from Henan, return to Suiyang, Defu, my family originally had a large family, I have three sisters, two brothers, and more than 30 acres of land at home, the year before last my mother was sick, my father borrowed some from the rich man Hou to treat my mother, and later, my mother died, the rich man took someone to arrest my eldest sister, my second sister, my father took my brother to find them to theorize, and they were also arrested, and now they can't see anyone, and they can't see the corpse ......."

Speaking of this, the boy began to cry: "A big family, now I am the only one left......"

"When I was 16 years old, my parents fled my hometown with me, and it took a lot of hard work to escape here! When we escaped from our hometown, we were a big family, and now only me and my mother are left! ”

Looking at the choked voices of the audience, Song Xiance used the method of ideological education and training of the Ning Navy, Cheng Shijie called this activity a grievance conference, the so-called "grievance conference" is to let the soldiers recall their sufferings and tell the sufferings in public.

This trick seems simple, but if you delve into the inner principle, it is very powerful and easy to arouse collective empathy.

In fact, only a dozen people spoke, and the five or six thousand miners present wept loudly, and the miners in Huanggang mainly came from three parts, one part of which was that their families originally had land, because they needed to pay taxes, but the taxes were too heavy for them to teach, and the natural disasters reduced grain production, and all the grain was handed over, which was not enough to pay taxes.

In desperation, they fled and threw away their fields.

There are also some tenants, who farm for the landlords, and such tenants are basically struggling on the verge of starvation, because their family members are sick, they have borrowed debts, and they have no money to repay, so they can only flee.

The last part is a wealthy family, because they have no power and power, their family property has been forcibly seized by landlords and large households, and they have no way to ask for help, so they can only flee.

The miners chattered about their experiences, their eyes turned red as they spoke, their voices choked, and they couldn't go on.

At this time, Song Xiance got up and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." It is not easy for you to survive in this troubled world of eating people and not spitting out bones...... Have you ever wondered why this is happening? ”

Qiao Zhuang was the first to react: "Because the tax is too heavy and the weather is dry, we can't afford to pay the tax......

Some people also replied: "The rich man who is a dog has no conscience, and if he borrows them a tael of silver, he can get out a dozen taels a year, and he can't afford to pay it back at all!" ”

"My sister is beautiful, and she was taken by the rich man Liu, so she had to rob my sister to be his stupid son as a daughter-in-law......"

"Rich Master Zhang seized my grandson's land, and colluded with the government to ruin our family!"

Song Xiance looked at everyone: "Let's calculate, the reason for the ruin of everyone's family, simply put, is those local tyrants and inferior gentry!" It is because those local tyrants and gentry have encroached on our land that our family is ruined and homeless! If they take possession of the land and then pay the tax, but they take possession of our land and do not pay the tax, then the tax will still have to be paid by those of us who no longer have an inch of land, will we still be able to live? ”

"We can't live anymore......"

The choking sound is loud, making people sad to listen to and cry when they smell it.

"Do we have a choice but to leave our homeland? They have thousands of acres of fertile land, fine clothes and food, poverty and luxury, and they don't have to do anything, so naturally there will be many people who send a lot of wealth to them and ask them to laugh at them, but what about us? We live in low, dilapidated houses, with our faces facing the loess and our backs to the sky, ploughing the barren land year after year, and when we don't catch our breath all year round, we still don't have enough to eat, no clothes to wear, and if we can't pay our taxes, we will be forced to ruin by the tax collectors! ”

Song Xiance shouted loudly, his voice was like a thunderbolt, "And the imperial court is resigned to this, and even raises taxes again and again, eager to suck our blood dry, is it still heavenly!?" ”

Everyone is not stupid, although they have no culture, the basic truth is still understood, there is no reason in this world for a long time, Lu Wangfu took a fancy to their coal mine, so he robbed them and tossed them to death, and did not leave them a way to live.

Why do they not even have a full meal despite their hard work?

Why do people who own thousands of acres of fertile land have no need to pay any taxes, and they don't have to do anything, so they can eat and wait for death?

Why do they think about how to take away the pitiful property in their hands all day long, even though their family has hundreds of millions of dollars?

Why is it that the government that presides over justice deliberately favors the landlords, rich people, and gentry? Bully them poor people?

Why did the government pour cold water on them as soon as they saw a little hope?

Why does the imperial court ignore it, let corrupt officials corrupt officials, collude with officials and businessmen, and protect each other?

Why don't they let them go even though their families are already ruined?

This man has long been blind.

"You say, 'What are we going to do now?' Is it resigned to fate, bullied to death by them, or fight! ”

Song Xiance said: "If you want to be bullied to death by them, then I have nothing to say, everyone has their own ambitions!" ”

"I don't want to die, I want to live!"

Qiao Zhuang got up and said, "Owner, you say, how can we survive?" ”

"We have only one way, use our hands, pick up weapons, and take out those tyrants and gentry who eat people and don't spit out bones!"

"This is a rebellion!"

"Kill those local tyrants and gentry who eat people and don't spit out bones!"

Song Xiance and the Zhongning Navy officers beside him raised their arms and shouted: "It's the opposite!" ”

"This is a rebellion...... If you want to destroy the Nine Clans, what if you lose? ”

It's a pity that this voice of reason has been infected with emotion.

Song Xiance waved his hand, and a large cart appeared on the coal yard, and the cart was loaded with bundles of spears like sugar cane.

It is about eight feet long, the blade is three feet long, it can be cut, it can be stabbed, it can be picked, unless it is three layers of armor, a shot is a hole, and there is a sharp straight-edged horizontal knife, which is also the standard equipment of the Ning Navy.

In addition to horizontal knives, spears, crossbow machines, and even hand grenades, there are many of these equipment, which can arm tens of thousands of people, and smart people have actually discovered that Song Xiance has actually premeditated.

It's a pity that even if they knew that Song Xiance had planned it a long time ago, they are now pretending to be deaf and dumb.

This dog's world, this court that has no distinction between good and evil, and right and wrong is unknown, has done it.

As more and more miners got their hands on weapons, the crowd was on the rise.

Jiang Wuxi said with some concern: "Uncle, they haven't been trained yet!" ”

"You don't need training, the marshal also said that the best training is actual combat!"
