Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 323 Assemble the miners (second update)

"My lord, it's getting late, should you withdraw your troops?"

He Jinzhao nodded. Today's bombardment had scared them out of their wits, and they were just waiting for the good news from Liu Erhu.

"He Zan, pass on my military order, withdraw the troops and return to the camp, arrange the patrol soldiers, and don't capsize the boat in the gutter."

"Yes."

After He Zan responded, a whistle sounded, which was a signal to retreat.

Today, just listening to the sound of cannons, the captain didn't say that he was going to rush to the city.

Perhaps what the captain wanted was to blast a hole so that we could charge.

There is no moat in Wuzhai County at all, so you can just take a ladder and go up.

within the county government.

Mr. Shi and the heads of several gentry families are all here, even for dinner.

Only Song Rong, the county magistrate, has a poor appetite.

"Uncle Shi, the hammer bandits are powerful."

One of the descendants of the mine tyrant, the Wang family, had an ugly expression on his face.

"The court can't take care of itself, we can only rely on ourselves, we can't run away without you."

Old Master Shi didn't understand why He Jinzhao had to conquer Wuzhai County.

Even if he occupies a vast area outside the county seat and snatches this year's summer harvest, the loss will only be the three of them.

Why didn't He Jinzhao stop?
As long as the county is still in the hands of the imperial court, local officials will help him conceal it, and no one wants to have an accident under his own rule, which will affect his political future.

When the civil uprising in Shaanxi was already gaining momentum, Shaanxi officials pretended to be dead, saying that there was no such thing as a civil uprising, which was completely nonsense.

Chongzhen didn't know about the Shaanxi civil uprising until the matter could no longer be concealed.

"You have to guard it no matter what." Mr. Shi stroked his beard and said:
"Let's see if our miners can sneak up on He Jinzhao's hammer bandits."

Something happened in Wuzhai County, Mr. Shi sent someone to contact his mine soldiers early in the morning.

The treatment of miners is not very good, because in addition to the farmers who want to farm for him, the farmers who join the gang and work as coolies are outside.

Almost all of them were deceived by the three of them to go to the mountain or robbed to mine on the mountain.

Shi Yuan, the third son of the old man, had already received the news from his servant.

Hammer bandit He Jinchao surrounded Wuzhai County with soldiers, and confiscated the newly harvested summer grain outside this year.

We also need to distribute the land to those tenants, return his mother's fifty-five cents, and plant the land for a few years, and the land will belong to the tenants.

Shi Yuan was even more furious. For this reason, he had already summoned the small heads of the surrounding mines, and all the thousand mine soldiers gathered here.

He has been waiting for news from his father, and then prepares to attack He Jinzhao.

"Go back, all the miners are saying hello, as long as we fight against the hammer bandits.

Immediately return them free, and reward them with five taels of silver for settlement, and transfer them to the miners.

In this Wuzhai County, my Shi family is taking care of them, no one dares to bully them,

All come here tonight, let's attack the hammer bandits tonight! "

"Yes."

The little leaders of the various mines immediately went back to encourage the miners according to the orders of the masters.

The life of the miners is miserable, all year round, until they are exhausted.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, many miners will change their ways to fish, be lazy, and work passively.

Of course, the more radical ones are to escape and resist.

If anyone who escaped was caught and returned, he would be hanged directly on the flagpole.

If you are lucky and run into the mountains, you will inevitably be eaten by wild animals such as tigers and wolves, or die at the mouth of snakes and ants.

The death of those who resisted was even worse. These miners were doing their best. They would torture the miners before they died.

Let the rest of the miners observe the criminal law and warn everyone that this is what happens if they dare to resist.

Mine No. [-].

All the miners were summoned by the little boss, and they listened to the miner's promotion of favorable conditions to beat the hammer bandits.

But there was still a corpse of a miner who wanted to escape and seek refuge with the hammer bandits hanging on the flagpole.

The worker on the side asked in a low voice: "Xintou, you said this, shall we do it?"

"Hammer bandit He Jinzhao has turned the whole of Shanxi upside down, and now he's a scumbag, and wants us to die."

Xin Sizhong lowered his voice and said, "A fool will really fight the hammer bandits?"

"What does Xintou mean, we're not going?"

"Go, why not go!" Xin Sizhong clenched his fists and lowered his voice:

"At that time, it's better for us to escape from the mountains, or surrender to the hammer bandits directly, than to stay here."

"Well, let's listen to Xin."

When the little leader finished announcing, he came over to find Xin Sizhong and told him to work hard, and he might become a colleague in the future.

With a smile on his face, Xin Sizhong nodded repeatedly, expressing his expectation that he also wanted to join the miners.

In this way, the little leader also felt that he had completed what the master asked him to do, and he was very happy.

Then they sent people to cook meat for dinner, and whoever went could get the meat.

Such behavior is performed in many mines. Some people want to eat meat, but they don't want to take risks.

Even though they were trapped in the mountains, He Jinzhao made such a big commotion in Shanxi.

These miners talked about it for a long time, and they knew everything over time.

The killing of the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi Town is a hot topic no matter what.

None of the miners expected that the hammer bandit He Jinzhao would come to attack Wuzhai County.

The miners still want to drag them to fight against the hammer bandits, but with those conditions, they are afraid that they will die in their hands.

Then, many miners resisted their greed and watched them feasting on the sidelines.

Not everyone has a thoughtful person like Xin Sizhong, and some miners can't resist the temptation, so they go to beg for meat and prepare to make a living in the team.

The mine tyrants have known for a long time that this kind of thing will happen, and they all smiled and welcomed it.

When the time comes to fight the hammer bandits, there must be cannon fodder, and these miners are cannon fodder.

Under the leadership of the miner, the miners went to Shiyuan's No. [-] mine to gather and prepare to fight against the hammer bandits.

Shi Yuan looked at the crows that each brought, except for the miner who was wearing leather armor.

The miners are almost all dirty, they look like a group of ghosts from a distance, and they are all holding picks.

The weapons are handy, and there is no need to distribute them at all. It is really impossible to find more weapons temporarily.

Why not let them use a more skilled pickaxe.

"My lord, the statistics have been completed. There are 21 mines, including miners, and there are always 360 people.

According to the exact news, there were no more than 6000 hammer bandits this time, and it is said that there were two to three thousand auxiliary soldiers among them. "

Shi Yuan stroked his beard and nodded: "Including the soldiers defending the city, there are tens of thousands of people.

Probably two people can fight a hammer bandit, the advantage is mine! "

Mining soldiers have always been fighting more and fighting less. What kind of military deployment?
Only the servants under Mr. Shi had received military training, and they were all brought with them.

As for the miners in the mines, most of them are vicious people, or they are dogs transformed from miners.

"My lord, the old man has said it, don't underestimate the hammer bandit He Jinzhao,

He killed the deputy commander of Shanxi Town, so he must have an elite soldier under his command. "

"Well, what you said is reasonable." Shi Yuan nodded slightly:
"Then let's wait until dark, attack his village, set fire to kill, we are good at it."
