chapter one hundred and seventy seven.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang~"

The gongs were pounding, and these days it was like a fur spear resurrected with blood. It was like a scalper that was full of blood. It was knocked on the ground like chicken blood. The big banner of recruiting soldiers on the head was also removed, replaced by two Dongjiang tiger-tooth flags. The place where they were staying was also placed from the middle of the mountain to the entrance of the Babaoshan mine cave. Didn’t you ignore me two days ago? Today, I blocked you.

Seventy-two personal soldiers lined up in two rows, the cold bayonets directly compared to the extension, and a chair was placed in the middle. Mao Jue looked like Cao Huaqing, the eunuch in "Longmen Inn", sitting there with his legs crossed, and Luo Ning sat next to him, and his left hand was plain clothes. He felt that the atmosphere was abnormal today, and he seemed to use the hotness of a northern woman. This girl's little face was also tense. Unfortunately, her cute little face could not show any ferocity.

In front, wearing green official uniforms like balls and several yamen runners, the Zhao County Magistrate was not as good as the old face and the eggplant beaten by frost. His originally smooth skin was wrinkled like a bun, and his eight-character Hu's mouth was twitching and trembling from time to time.

It’s really different today. In addition to these seventy personal soldiers, there are more than 1,200 poor mountain people in tattered clothes behind them.

When Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese in the southeast. When he returned from visiting relatives, he happened to encounter Yiwu people fighting for mines. The target of the fight was the same poor people from Yongkang County next door. It was not that the two groups of people were just met by Qi Jiguang, but that the fight was really protracted. From April to October, the total number of people was more than 30,000, and more than 2,500 casualties were killed or injured. This fight also allowed Qi Jiguang to see the fierceness and tenacity of the Yiwu people, which led to the famous Qi family army.

But this time, Mao Jue really added fuel to the fire, finding so many people in Yongkang to block the mine gate of Yiwu people.

It was early today. The 20-year-old miners were caught in the mine. There were so many people busy blocking here. The number of mountain people from Yiwu Village who came to mine in the morning was getting more and more blocked. At about 7 o'clock in the morning, there were more and more than a thousand people blocked the other side. Some people recognized the magistrate Zhao, and the locals shouted loudly from the other side.

"Mr. Zhao! Why is this? Why did I seal my mine for no reason?"

The shouting made the Zhao man tremble as if he was a bun in a steamer. He couldn't help but turn around again, and Mao Jue waved forward.

"Mr. Zhao, don't forget, this is for their own good!"

In no way, County Magistrate Zhao finally gritted his teeth hard, clamped the wet document under his crotch, and walked out in a duck step.

Since he took office, he has never been so powerful, pointing at the Yiwu mountain people at the nose and shouting loudly.

"Listen to you, the unruly people! Is it the king's land under the world? What kind of mine! The imperial court's mine! Starting today, the land rights of the Babaoshan mine belong to Yiwu County and are contracted to the Wuguan of the Luo family in Hangzhou to excavate. If you have any trouble with stealing the mine, one will be counted as one. I will let you go to the prison and go to prison!"

He kept looking at the excitement with a smile. Listening to this, Luo Ning's smile froze on his face, and his little face turned pale. Before she could stand up suddenly, the Yiwu mountain people in front had already burst into a terrifying roar.

"This dog official accepted a bribe from the people of Yongkang and came to rob our mine!!!"

"Bow him to death!"

Mr. Lu Xun said that the angry voices of the people were the most terrifying. In an instant, it was like a mountain collapse and tsunami. More than a thousand Yiwu miners were furious, holding pickaxes, shovels, and sticks. They roared and rushed over. The momentum was not weaker than the Qiantang tide. The magistrate Zhao was splattering a pair of carrot legs and ran away. Several yamen runners hated their parents for not giving birth to two more legs. Several people ran back at a speed that was inconsistent with their reminders.

However, Mao Jue, who was sitting on the big chain chair, was not panicked at all. He was as calm as the eunuch Cao Huaqing, and even showed a contemptuous smile on his face. As the crowd approached, Mao Jue suddenly stood up suddenly, and his sleeves were blown by the twelve-layer Tiangang boy's martial arts wind. As he waved his bone-turning palms, he exhaled. There were two loud bangs, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and large scattered smoke evaporated. Countless gravel rolled down from the hillside. The momentum soared into the sky, the mountain people rushing forward stopped abruptly, and hugged their heads in horror.

Uh..., the explosion of this thousand kilograms of black gunpowder was so shocking that everyone would be afraid.

He turned around and gave a thumbs up to the two explosion groups. Just like the villain in the movie, Mao Jue walked to the front with a arrogant smile, waved his sleeves, and proudly pointed at the Yiwu mountain people who were panicked and hugged their heads and shouted.

"Can't you all the poor guys fight? Come on! I have buried 40,000 kilograms of black gunpowder in this mine! You make trouble, I just click on a fuse, and no one of us can think of mining! Come on! Come on! Fight according to my head!"

The man was invincible and walked in front of him. Mao Jue tilted his head arrogantly and pointed his fingers at his brain. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was picking up the stick and trying to cut him up, but he was immediately hugged by the old man behind him. Among the people from the mountain, several old men gathered together helplessly and whispered for a long time. The two old men finally walked out of the crowd with a sad face, and came to Mao Jue, and slapped and knelt at the feet of the villain.

"This official! Our Yiwu County is poor and poor, and the land is barren. There is only a way to survive in the mine. Please give me a lot of money. We all want to make up for you! Please, give us the people a way to survive!"

"Silence? I spent a total of 50,000 taels to contract this mine. Do you have any?"

Mao Jue hummed arrogantly while holding his arms, but in one sentence, he made the two old men stupid.

Although this mine is a silver mine, you can’t make a thousand taels of silver a year or 50,000 taels. Even if you sell it in nearby villages, you won’t be worth the price.

But they really didn't have any tricks. Before, the people from Yongkang came to grab the mine, so I would fight with you! But Mao Jue? They were explosives and fired, and then left. But if the mountain collapsed, with the current productivity, these mountain people would not be able to recover no matter what. They didn't have any tricks. The old men in the two villages turned back in a dizzy head. Following the strong men in the villages, the wealthy families whispered for a long time, and then turned back sadly again.

"This official! Aren't you going to recruit soldiers?"

…………

The recruitment list that had been empty for several days, finally opened up profits. Several divisions wrote there, "The light and strong people in the villages were full of depression and resentment, but they had to come one by one and began to put the list. Once this name was dropped, it was really equivalent to selling it to Mao Jue. In the Ming Dynasty, military and civilian status were two different origins. The local officials who fought for the army could be executed on the spot and had to seduce people from the border to replace him in the family. However, for the only livelihood of this village, many young people were beaten to the front teeth and swallowed, but they had to come.

This side is recorded, and that side is named in the local area of ​​Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture.

I have been so angry these days. I have registered this side, and the hair spear is still holding an arm and sarcastically.

"Hey, our Dongjiang is just empty salary, so he just drank the blood of soldiers! If you kill the enemy, there is no silver reward. If you have any, don't come! Why are you doing what you do?"

County Magistrate Zhao was on the side, and he also helped with a crying look. Mao Jue still looked arrogant and drank tea carelessly. However, Luo Ning, who had just avoided it, just now turned around with a few family members.

Her little face disappeared from the warm smile when she came. Even if she smiled, she was still cold. She watched the recruiting team. After a while, she suddenly held her delicate fists and bowed heavily to Mao Jue.

"The general is really a good method and a good plan. Once this magic trick comes out, these mountain people will have to fall into your position as General. Luo admires you!"

"Don't beat around the bush, I think Mao is despicable, right?"

Listening to what she said, Mao Jue rolled up his sleeves and stood up again, looking at the crowd of people, but he exhaled a long sigh.

"There is a famous saying in our Dongjiang River that people are not despicable and injustice young people! Because all noble people are dead!"

Looking back, he looked at Luo Ning's somewhat surprised expression, and he hummed with disdain: "You have never seen the Shura Field in Liaodong! You have only seen it in books, but this is our life, every day! The source of troops in Dongjiang has dried up, and I need elite soldiers to defend Dongjiang. Yes! It's despicable, and I dragged you down from the water from Miss Luo, but I did that!"

"To survive!"

Luo Ning was speechless when she heard this. At first, she was very selfish, but between the lines, a helplessness was soaked in people's hearts. But before Luo Ning could come out of this emotion, Mao Jue's next sentence made her brow raise again.

Looking at the poor mountain valley, Mao Jue raised his head proudly and hummed gloomy: "And just being despicable, Mao was even more ashamed of Qi Jiguang and Qi Shuai!"
