Chapter 329： Agitate miners

After conquering Chuzhou, Lu Guangzu persuaded the green camp general Li Dalang to surrender.

He didn't mean to appreciate Li Dalang, but he needed to use Li Dalang in his next plan.

Lu Guangzu planned to send an army disguised as a ruined army that had escaped from Chuzhou, and then deceived the trust of the Hefei defender to enter the city, and then play a combination of inside and outside.

The risk of this strategy is also extremely high. Before Wu Jun played it once when he attacked Nanchang, but the game failed.

At that time, the Qing army was under-prepared. If the Qing army had prepared first, it could pit Wu Jun severely.

But now, Lu Guangzu, who was already a little confused, was ready to play with fire again.

In order to increase the success rate of the strategy, he needs a person known to the Qing army to lead the team, and this candidate is Li Dalang.

"The general can afford to go down again, and then he will serve him. It was really helpless to seek refuge in the Qing court before. My heart has always been for Daming."

Li Dalang said.

"What Daming, the current Daming is hopeless. We are fighting to death with the Qing army on the front line, but the court of Daming is attacking our army from behind. So, don’t say anything about Daming. You just need to know, give We only pay Governor General Wu, Governor Wu."

Lu Guangzu corrected Li Dalang's mistake, and Li Dalang repeatedly said yes.

For him, there is no saying that he is loyal to someone. If you have milk, you are a mother. Whoever benefits him, he will kill him.

After finishing Li Dalang, Wu Jun made a four-thousand-man mixed army.

Among them, two thousand were Wu Jun's elite, and two thousand were the green camp soldiers who had just been captured.

This unit, one step ahead, rushed to Hefei.

In Huainan, Xu Yuxian's troops are also advancing.

When the news that Wu Jun was approaching reached Huainan, many big businessmen in Huainan became excited.

They have been expecting Wu Jun to come over for a long time, and now they are getting what they want.

Nowadays, the economic ties between Huainan and Nanjing are too close, trade exchanges are frequent, and interests are extremely involved.

Therefore, these Huainan businessmen all hope that Wu Jun can recover Huainan, so that they can enjoy preferential treatment when buying iron products in Nanjing and save a lot of cost.

At the same time, they can also purchase steam pumps, coal trucks, and high-quality gunpowder that were restricted by Wu Jun.

These things can greatly improve their coal mining efficiency and reduce coal mining costs.

Benefits determine the bottom, Wu Jun can bring them benefits, they are naturally inclined to Wu Jun.

On this day, several big coal mine owners gathered together in secret to discuss major issues.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is the staff member of the Second Division of the First Army of the Wu Jun, Master Liu Yingxiong. He is currently in charge of giving advice to Master Xu Yuxian of the Second Division. This time he came to Huainan in secret, just to conspire with everyone. ."

Big coal mine owner Hu Yanlin introduced a young man to everyone, and other coal mine owners saluted.

Through some newspapers, they also got a general understanding of some of the official system of the Wu Jun. They knew that the division staff was not a small officer, about the same as the military division next to the general army.

"You are all people who do business with Nanjing, so I don't need to say much to know the benefits of Huainan after the return. Therefore, I hope you can cooperate with all your heart when our army recovers Huainan."

Liu Yingxiong said.

Xu Yuxian had tasted the sweetness of tricks, so when he attacked Huainan, he once again discussed a strategy with the generals.

This strategy required the cooperation of the coal mine owners in Huainan, so Liu Yingxiong was sent over.

"However, we are all businessmen. We want to contribute but we have more than enough energy."

A coal mine owner said that they did not have an army in their hands, only some guards. These people are good at bullying the honest poor people, but if they let them fight against the army, they will have to throw off their helmets and unarmed when they meet each other.

As for the provision of money and military salaries, they can do a little bit. However, now Wu Jun is going to attack the city, and asking for money seems to be useless.

"As long as everyone is interested, there is naturally something to help."

Liu Yingxiong said.

"Since Wu Guogong is useful to us, we naturally have to do our best. As long as Wu Guogong can open the ban afterwards, it is enough to allow us to buy machines in Nanjing."

Zhong Xueyan is a straight-natured person, and directly speaks out the people's heart.

It’s okay to help, you have to give benefits and care afterwards.

"Of course there is no problem with this. Lord Guo always treats businessmen very preferentially. For this, you must have seen businessmen in Nanjing."

Liu Yingxiong promised that he didn't care if Wu Changqing would preferentially treat these people in the future. Anyway, he would cheat them for help before talking.

As for the preferential treatment of these businessmen in the future, civilian officials will be responsible, and the army need not worry about it.

The civilian officials and military commanders in Nanjing are two systems, each of which takes care of their own interests first, and then throws the trouble to each other.

This is not the first time Wu Jun has done this kind of thing.

Moreover, Wu Changqing likes this phenomenon very much. The separation of civil officials and military commanders can greatly avoid the occurrence of rebellion.

"If this is the case, then I would like to ask Master Liu to tell you what we need to do."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hu Yanlin indicated that Liu Yingxiong could talk about specific strategies.

Wu Jun's strategy is actually very simple. It is to let these coal mine owners support them to encourage the miners to rebel and attract the Qing army out of town.

Then, Wu Jun arrived in a hurry and wiped out the main force of the Qing army outside the city.

Field battles outside the city are many times easier than siege.

After listening to Liu Yingxiong's words, the businessmen began to ponder, calculating the risks and benefits.

Although businessmen are timid and fearful, they also have to divide the situation. If they have a large enough income, they can sometimes become desperadoes.

Moreover, they don't need to do this kind of thing in person, and there is no danger of life.

"However, if the Qing army is not fooled, will it not send soldiers out to suppress it?"

Someone asked, this kind of thing is entirely possible.

"Impossible. Now the mine has to pay them tens of thousands of silver every month. No one can ignore this wealth. Moreover, if they are not sure to send troops, we will unite and put pressure on them."

Hu Yanlin said.

If Huainan wasn't because there were so many valuable coal mines, it would be impossible for the Qing army to station so many troops here.

Without the income from the mines, those troops would not even be able to issue military pay.

Therefore, no matter whether there is danger or not, it is impossible for the Qing army to sit idly by.

"In that case, count me."

Zhong Xueyan took the lead and said, what he thought was relatively simple, just give it a try.

When other people saw that Hu Yanlin and Zhong Xueyan, the two biggest coal mine owners, were on Wu Jun's side, they naturally did not hesitate anymore and expressed their opinions.

Liu Yingxiong then smiled, and then continued to discuss the details with everyone.

How to agitate the miners is also a technique and a science.

If they can't speak, those miners might not be against the government, but they would be funny if they rebelled against them, the coal mine owners.

It is actually very easy to transfer the hatred of the miners to the government. It is nothing more than to attribute the low wages to the government's taxation too high, which results in the coal mine owners not making money.

Transfer their hatred to the government, and then promise a little profit, those miners will be easily agitated.

At the same time, in order to give these miners a certain amount of combat power, Liu Yingxiong also secretly brought a batch of weapons.

Although they were all cold weapons like knives and spears, they were better than hoes and iron rods, and the equipment of the Qing army was not much better.
