Chapter 331： Tan Beng

After a long test, Chimuqing finally decided to agree to Lu's strict request and send troops out to suppress it.

He sent a total of 7,000 people over, after all, there were fewer people sent, and the deterrence was not enough.

What he wants is to quell the rebellion, not to wipe out the rebels.

Kill everyone, then no one will continue mining, and no one will defend the city for him.

Therefore, what he wants is to frighten those miners all at once, let them lay down their weapons honestly, and refrain from fearless resistance.

He didn't want to have a large-scale battle with those miners, thankless.

As soon as the Qing army left the city, the spies hidden in Huainan flew back and spread the news to the Wu army, who was already in ambush northeast of Wudian.

Afterwards, Wu Jun began to set off. They needed to rush to Wudian as soon as possible, so as not to prevent the Qing army and the rebellious miners from fighting for too long and killing too many people.

These are all high-quality labor, it's a pity to die. Neither the Qing army nor the Wu army wanted the miners to suffer too many casualties.

In Wudian, the organized miners are confronting the Qing army.

The Qing army did not use force as soon as it came up, and did not want to cause bloodshed.

It is best if it can be resolved through negotiation.

"Who are you taking the lead, find the lead, I want to ask why you are rebelling?"

Qu Youjin, the leader of the Qing army asked.

When encountering this kind of thing, the key to breaking the situation is to find the person who takes the lead in the rebellion, and if the person who takes the lead is fixed, it is basically the same as fixing the rebellion.

Ordinary people have a very strong herd mentality. They now dare to confront the officers and soldiers with weapons. A big reason is that someone takes the lead.

As long as the leader is persuaded, or the leader is killed, other ordinary members are not a concern.

"The leader is me. You have to ask us why we rebelled. The reason is very simple. We don't want to be yours."

Zheng Qiao, one of the cores in charge of doing things, stepped forward.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Did the mine owner not pay you money, or did you eat and drink? Before you came to mine, you weren't working for the landlord's family?"

Qu Youjin said angrily, no matter how lucky it is to mine, it is better than before as a tenant farmer. And now, these untouchables are still not satisfied, really **** it.

"Hahaha, just those few lucky money, want us to die? Do you think we don’t know the price of this coal in Nanjing? Your government does nothing, and every hundred catties of coal will be taxed 20 wen , We are exhausted, and we only earn six cents for a hundred catties. Why? Brothers, can we agree to this kind of thing?"

"Don't agree, fight with them."

Thousands of people behind Zheng Qiao shouted, seemingly motivated.

Qu Youjin suddenly had a headache, and he was complaining about the person who leaked the news.

Now that these workers know the profit of coal, I am afraid that this matter is already very difficult to do well.

"Where did you hear the false news? The price of this coal is not as high as you said. Besides, do you think it is easy to transport this coal to Nanjing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll ask if your government has received a benefit of twenty wen per hundred catties."

Zheng Qiao interrupted the other party and pointed to the core of the problem.

If it were not for the government to charge such high taxes, they would not have been exploited so miserably.

"Huh, in the world, is it Wangtu. Every mountain and every river in this world belongs to the court, and taxation is reasonable. If you continue to persevere and stop the riots, I will immediately order suppression."

Qu Youjin said coldly, he found that Zheng Qiao on the opposite side was not simple, knew a lot, and was not easy to fool.

In desperation, it seemed that he could only resort to the worst strategies to kill the chicken and the monkey.

This trick is good at killing chickens and monkeys, but not playing well is blood flowing.

"You think we will be afraid of you, brothers, fight with them. As long as we keep this mine, we will transport it to Nanjing and sell it, and the money we get is divided equally."

Zheng Qiao retreated to the crowd and continued to agitate.

At this time, the other miners were both scared, angry, and confused.

However, they don't want to compromise. After all, things have reached this point, and they have to get some results. You don't want to take this mine as your own, and you have to fight for at least two extras for each person.

"It's unreasonable, Diaomin is a bunch of Diaomin. Come, prepare me to kill him."

Qu You whispered and ordered.

"General, if they resist, kill them directly?" the subordinate asked.

"Kill, anyway, you only need to kill dozens of him, and the rest will naturally be a bird and beast."

Qu Youjin disdainfully said, it is not the first time that he has encountered the people making trouble, and he has experience in dealing with such things.

Just kill the few leaders who are not afraid of death, and the others will immediately become honest.

However, this time he made a wrong calculation.

When the Qing army approached with a weapon, Qu Youjin saw the weapons that the miners had taken out and almost didn't scare his eyes to the ground.

The knives and spears in the hands of the miners were clearly standard equipment, almost the same as those used by his men.

With the same weapons and equipment, they have lost their greatest equipment advantage and cannot absolutely crush these mobs.

"I'll go back and take a good look at those people to see where they have sold their weapons."

Qu Youjin cursed, he thought these weapons were secretly sold by the ordnance manager. This kind of thing was also very common in the Qing army.

"General, what should I do?"

The subordinate continued to ask, and things suddenly became complicated.

"Keep on attacking, I want to see what happens if these mobs have weapons."

Following his order, the Qing army began to attack, and the miners retreated to the hillside, trying to take advantage of the favorable terrain.

Facing Gang, these miners are naturally inferior to those professional soldiers.

"Don't be afraid, our reinforcements will arrive soon."

Zheng Qiao and some other backbones commanded the others and continued to delay time.

They don't need to beat the Qing army, they just need to hold them back.

As he said, the Qing army rushed over with a big knife.

Then the miners were forced to fight back. They may not have as good military skills as those of the Qing army soldiers, but in terms of strength, they are really worthwhile.

Many knives and spears were mixed together, fifteen or six people fell on the miner's side, and eight or nine died on the Qing army's side.

This ratio of casualties almost didn't anger Qu Youjin. The professional army beat the mob, and it was a loss of Lu Ying's face.

"Stop the attack first, and send a group of archers to the city."

Qu Youjin said.

There is no equipment advantage, no crushing advantage, and it is impossible to force these miners to surrender.

Continue to fight, maybe it will turn into a **** battle, which will kill and wound countless people, this is not the result he wants.
