A detective stumbled through the yard and rushed to the lobby of the government office.

"It caught fire, it caught fire." After being tripped by the high threshold, a dog suddenly fell into the lobby and slid far above the smooth stone slab. When he raised his head, he happened to see the county magistrate's blue face.

"Where is the fire?" Huzhou County Magistrate Gu Song wanted to kick the embarrassing constable back into the yard, but in front of General Yang Zhi and Minister of State Security Tian Kang, he finally forcibly endured the impulse and asked angrily.

"The Tu's Spinning Factory outside the city caught fire, and the sky was in full swing. The thick smoke could be seen standing on the city wall. The Tu's Spinning Factory was probably finished." The detective crawled up in a hurry.

"General, Shangshu Tian, ​​Tu is the leader of Jiangnan Textile. Now he is destroyed by a mob. It will be a huge blow to Jiangnan Textile. Is it time to take action?" Gu Song looked at the two court officials and said with some difficulty.

"A factory will be destroyed. Tu's family has accumulated a lot of family businesses over the years. He can afford this loss." Yang Zhi didn't say anything, and was sitting there concentrating on using a piece of silk to wipe his small sword. The heavy black sword was placed horizontally on the table at this moment. The person who spoke was Tian Kang, and he didn't seem to be fighting at all.

"The highlight is in the city!" Tian Kang sneered: "What's the point of burning a factory? The people of Qi want to help these confused textile workers kill officials and destroy the city, and then lead the guy who was forced to the dead to attack the city and plunder the land, recreating the story of Moro, the Yue Kingdom back then!"

"Shangshu Tian, ​​if this is true, those spinners will have no physiology anymore. They were just deceived and committed such a murder for no reason. It would be a pity." Gu Song glanced at Tian Kang and thought to himself that if it weren't for your Shangshu Tian, ​​he had to do this fishing law enforcement, how could he watch these people step by step?

"Without waiting, how can you catch those guys hidden under the water?" Tian Kang sneered: "If you cannot get rid of the roots, there will inevitably be another stir in the future. The spies, spies, spies, and former Chu people who were dissatisfied with Daming and wanted to fight, this time Tian wants to uproot them and make it happen once and for all. Gu County Governor, this is also what the Minister of Justice Jin wants to do."

Gu Song smiled bitterly, Jin Shoufu was afraid that there was another meaning. The large application of steam engines in the textile industry has caused a large number of people in Jiangnan to be unemployed and lose their ability to make a living. The Shoufu Jin Jingnan has always wanted to immigrate to places like Cenzhou in the western region on a large scale, but who would be willing to go to the legendary bitter and cold land of Cenzhou in the western region of Jiangnan? Since it was too soft, the court wanted to be hard. This time, I don’t know how many people from the four counties in Jiangnan would be forcibly sent to Cenzhou to cultivate land?

This is a naked act of tempting crimes first, and then scrutinizes heavy punishments. In the heart of a scholar like Gu Song, it is a bit too much. However, as a local official, he cannot solve the problems he is facing now. A large number of unemployed textile workers gathered under his jurisdiction, which is a huge hidden danger. No one knows when it will break out. He cannot bear this responsibility, so he can only let Tian Kang arrange a huge trap.

Three senior officials sat in the lobby with ease, two of them were as stable as Mount Tai, and one was as uncomfortable as needles.

Half an hour later, the previous detective rushed in again. This time he learned a good deed and finally did not trip over the threshold again. However, his face looked pale. After entering the door, he even forgot to salute and shouted: "No, no, the mob outside the city has already rushed into Xiangzhou City. The East City Gate was snatched by some mobs in the city. A group of soldiers guarding the city gate were not clear. Now the mob is rushing towards the state capital."

"Is it dead?" Tian Kang raised his head and said with a grim smile.

Yang Zhi took the small sword in front of him, looked at it carefully, and said slowly: "It should be more than one person, right?"

"Yes, yes, there is another team heading towards the arsenal, and the other team heading towards the food warehouse." The constable spoke very quickly, "There are so many people, so dark, and there are probably thousands of people on each road."

Gu Song's face changed drastically: "How come there are so many people? How come there are so many people?"

"What's strange about this?" Tian Kang said calmly: "Some of them are textile workers who are instigated, some are gangsters who want to make money in the chaos, and some are the others? They may be wrapped up and unable to help themselves."

"Aren't these people too unfair?"

"Under the accusation?" Tian Kang said disdainfully: "If they stayed at their home honestly, would such a thing happen? Since they appeared in the mob team, it would not be unfair. Lord Gu, there are too many people in Jiangnan and need to be cleaned up. As for the severity of the crime, you don't have to worry. Dali Temple will be tried impartially, and the Supervision Department will stare at Dali Temple, so you don't have to worry about being wronged by a good person, but we will never let a bad person go."

Yang Zhi stood up and looked at Tian Kang and said, "Are you going to the arsenal, or will I go?"

Tian Kangyi smiled: "I'll go to the arsenal. The general is the master. It's safer to protect Lord Gu here. We don't know how many masters are there in Qi's tent? If I guess well, they must kill Lord Gu and then hurry up. If Lord Gu doesn't die, how can these people join the mobs to walk on the road of no return?"

Gu Song looked at the relaxed two people with a blue face. After this disaster, Jiangnan didn't know how many people would die, how many people would break their family afterwards, how many wives would be separated, and how many human tragedies would appear in front of him.

Looking at Gu Song's angry face, Tian Kang walked past him and said softly: "Mr. Gu, the rise of a powerful empire will inevitably lead to many people being sacrificed. For this goal, if one day he needs to sacrifice Tian, ​​Tian will definitely be happy to kill him."

Gu Song trembled with his lips and said, "This will hurt the emperor's kindness."

"No." Tian Kang smiled: "The emperor gave the political affairs completely to the Political Affairs Hall. If there is any problem in the future, it will be the responsibility of the Political Affairs Hall. Tian is the direct person in charge. At that time, only the Prime Minister and Tian must hand over the prime minister, and they will naturally calm the anger of the people in Chu."

Gu Song looked at Tian Kangxin happily walking out of the lobby with a stunned gaze. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a while, he turned to look at Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi shook his head, "I sent a private message to His Majesty to communicate this matter. His Majesty only replied to me, the Industrial Revolution is the only way for the Ming Dynasty to be powerful."

"What does this mean?"

"I don't understand, but I will guess. Your Majesty's meaning is probably saying that before the Ming Dynasty becomes unparalleled, this is a sacrifice that must be made. Lord Gu, don't think too much. When the two armies face each other and thousands of troops die on the battlefield, isn't it for this goal?"

“That’s different, different.”

"Why are different? They are both for the same goal, and they are all life-threatening." Yang Zhi's fingers flicked, and the small sword between his fingers disappeared in an instant. He turned around and lifted the black sword on the table, listening to the movement outside.

"It's coming soon."

He walked to the front door and saw that the soldiers in the government office were ready. The courtyard walls, gate towers and arrow towers were covered with archers. In the courtyard of the lobby, rows of soldiers were holding spears and big swords in their hands, and they were already in dense formations.

Gu Song took a few quick steps and held Yang Zhi's sleeve: "General, fewer people will die. Even if they are sent to Cenzhou in the future, they will still be alive."

Yang Zhi nodded with a smile: "Of course, our purpose is not to kill people."

There are about two thousand people on the road to the arsenal. A considerable number of these people have clear goals. If you want to do big things, you won’t be able to do anything without weapons. If you can seize the arsenal, the large number of weapons in the stock inside will be enough to arm tens of thousands of people. Only with guys can you truly achieve their goals.

Unlike the people who rushed to the county magistrate's office, there were old and young people. Most of the people who ran to the arsenal were young and strong men. Many of the textile workers who were incited to ask for an explanation or wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob some food in the grain warehouse, but they did not realize that their current behavior had constituted a real rebellion. The people who went to the arsenal, except for the ulterior motives, were some restless guys.

The Ming Dynasty took over Chu territory not long. There were actually many people who were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty and were in love with their homeland. Among them, there were also some gangsters who usually dared to do small things under the suppression of the government. Today, when they saw the opportunity came, they naturally wanted to take advantage of it.

The gate of the arsenal was clearly visible. In the spacious space in front of the gate, there was no army guarding it. Instead, a few soldiers guarding the gate turned around and ran into the wall like a wind, slammed and closed the gate of the yard.

"Roar in, rush in." Someone in the crazy crowd raised his arms and shouted, and one or two thousand people rushed towards the courtyard wall. Several of them jumped up directly, like big birds, jumped high over the courtyard wall and landed into the courtyard. In the air, people had already pulled out their weapons they carried with them.

Tian Kang stood coldly on the high threshold of the arsenal gate. In front of him were densely armed soldiers. A half-man-high shield crack was erected, and the black hole of the crossbow machine was exposed. Behind the crossbow machine, a veteran who had been fighting stood firm as if Mount Tai, pointed the spear in his hand diagonally forward, and drove into a dense forest of guns.

More than a dozen birds fell from the air. They were in the air and had seen the situation in the courtyard. With a scream, they could not change their figure and flew back outside the courtyard wall.

They fell into the yard with a desperate mood. Before they could make a second move, dense crossbow arrows were shot out.

Unfortunately, these dozen people were all famous figures in the world. Under such dense crossbow arrows, they didn't even have any room to fight back, and they were shot into hedgehogs.

The moment they fell, the wall shaking, and with the rumbling sound, the wall was pushed down, and the pioneer who had just fallen to the ground was completely buried.
