Chapter 330： riot

Wudian, the area where coal mines are distributed.

There are many open-pit coal mines here, which are easy to mine.

Today, there are more than 30 coal mines in this area, and more than 15,000 miners have gathered to work here.

In addition to other laundry and cooking people, managers, and purchasers, the population here is no less than a small county.

In this wilderness, this small place has formed a different kind of prosperity.

The miners working here are both lucky and unfortunate.

Fortunately, working here makes more money than farming. Unfortunately, the bosses earn more than them. They are miserably exploited by the government and the bosses, and the gap between the rich and the poor has widened.

These miners had grievances in their hearts for a long time, but they couldn't beat those merchants and government officials, so they could only swallow the evil spirits and hold them in their hearts.

At this time, several foremen who had benefited from Wu Jun began to do things.

While they were eating, they said to other miners: "Do you know how much a hundred catties of coal are sold in Nanjing?"

Everyone shook their heads. These honest miners have no news channels at all.

"Fifty liters, fifty liters. For us, we only have six liters to dig a hundred catties of coal."

Said the foreman.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

They had chatted on weekdays before, and they had all guessed how much this kind of dark coal could sell. However, what they never expected was that they could sell so much.

According to this calculation, for every 100 catties of coal they dig, they have to contribute forty-four cents to the coal boss and the government.

In this mining area, at least five or six million catties have to be dug out a day. In other words, the government and those coal mine owners will earn more than 200,000 taels of silver on this day.

The government did nothing, and the coal boss just enjoyed the land and provided some tools, but made most of the money. And these people who work hard in the coal mines can only make some lucky money.

This allows them how to be willing and convinced.

"Fucking, the job gets worse and worse."

"It's better to ask the boss to process the money, plus one or two penalties for every hundred catties."

"Oh, forget it, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. If they get fired, they won't have any food for tomorrow."

There was a lot of discussion, some expressed that they wanted to resist, and some expressed that they wanted to swallow their anger.

At this time, the foreman in charge waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he continued: "I don't want to hide it from everyone. Recently I got a batch of knives and spears, which are more than 400 pieces. With these weapons, we united and resisted, took the coal mine, and we sold it ourselves."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked again.

Hundreds of knives and spears, this can't be obtained casually.

Some clever people have already smelled an unusual smell.

However, some people whose brains have been flooded with hatred and resentment, stand up and show their support without thinking.

If these coal mines can be taken as their own, the income will directly skyrocket six or seven times.

"But, doesn't this mean that we are rebelling? What if the government sends soldiers over?"

Someone asked.

"I'm afraid of Mao. Now that the Qing army is beaten by the southern army, they dare not leave the city. They only dare to hide in the city. As for the Wu army, what we have made is the Qing army's opposition. They will not blame us. For the sake of security, maybe They will also reward us with these coal mines."

The foreman continued to fool around, but his words sounded a little bit reasonable. If it is as he said, then rebellion is very attractive.

As long as the government's army does not come out, they really have nothing to fear.

The organization of tens of thousands of miners is also a terrible force.

"Don't hesitate, let me tell you the truth. Not only our mine will do this, but other mines are also doing this. If we don't follow along, this mine will belong to them in the future, and we won't have our share."

The foreman once again released heavy news, which further strengthened the determination of these miners to rebel.

Don't suffer from poverty and suffer from unevenness. In the past, everyone was a miner, and they didn't have so much resentment for the same money.

But if other miners succeed in rebelling, and they can take the coal mine as their own, wouldn't they have to die?

"Damn it, I don't want to be poor for a lifetime."

Those who are working as miners are more courageous than those who are farming. At this time, a huge opportunity was in front of them, and many people were very excited.

The others who have no opinion can only follow the others along with the trend.

Some key members brought the weapons over and distributed them to everyone.

Those who have weapons are much more courageous.

The crowd rushed up, beat up several supervisors, locked them up, and announced to the merchants who had come to buy coal mines that these coal mines had changed ownership.

And this kind of thing happened one after another in the surrounding coal mines.

Those foremen got together and organized a close organization, which made the momentum especially loud.

Soon, some people who escaped from the coal mine area returned to the county town to report to the prefect Lu.

"What? The coal miners rebelled and took the coal mine as their own. It's unreasonable."

Lu Jin slapped the table sternly. Those coal mines were his pocketbooks. There were tens of thousands of taels of silver everywhere he got from the coal mines in a month.

He has been an official for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a good opportunity to fish for oil and water.

The coal miners rebelled at this time, not the imperial rebellion, but the rigorous rebellion against him.

After that, Lu Jinyan immediately went to the barracks in a hurry and asked the guard Chi Muqing to send troops to suppress.

"Master Lu, Wu Jun is watching him in Bengbu, I can't just divide my troops and go to Wudian."

Akagi said bitterly, he also received a lot of benefits in the coal mine. In normal times, he may be more active than Lu Jingzheng.

But now, Wu Jun is on one side. What if Wu Jun takes the opportunity to attack the city if he divides his troops and goes to Wudian?

"Master Akagi, those miners are just useless suffering, they can't use much strength. Besides, those coal mines are lost and no money can be collected, how can you maintain your huge army?"

Lu Jin rigorously said that it is very realistic that coal mines are related to their money bags and cannot be ignored.

Chimuqing was still hesitating, and Lu Jinyan continued to persuade him: "If you are worried, you can send more spies out to inquire about Wu Jun's movements. If you find that Wu Jun is coming to attack, you can withdraw the army in time.

Moreover, if Wu Jun really made up his mind to attack the city, it would still be a question of whether your 20,000 people can defend it. It is better to rely on this suppression and forcefully arrest and criticize the miners to enter the army to do coolies, so that you can more or less start from the defense when defending the city. "

This.......

Chimuqing hesitated. If Lu was cautious, there were some points that made sense.

The income of the coal mines cannot be lost, and it is not easy to rely on the 20,000 people to defend Huainan. They need to change.

"Ok."

Akagi Green said helplessly.
