His target is Liansheng Grain Bank, not Liansheng Bank! Because he knows that if he touches Liansheng Bank, he will have a fight with Liu Haojia! And Liansheng Bank is not something he can touch if he wants to!
All the stores of Lend Lease Bank in various places are built with bricks and tiles and cement. They look like ordinary shops, but in fact they are basically a battlefield fortress! As long as they close the door, they can block the siege of thousands of people.
It's a piece of cake!
And what made him even more troubled was that the people in Lend Lease Bank never concealed the fact that they practiced for half an hour in the morning and evening every day! The content of the drills included everything from guns and clubs to crossbows, which fundamentally eliminated Xiao Mao's ability to
The idea of a thief targeting the bank!
But just when he was annoyed, the second bad news came! The farmers outside the city who were supposed to be doing spring sowing suddenly shrank into two villages, and swordsmen from the northwest were hired to guard the safety of the villages!
Even when they go out to farm, they work together as a group, and after finishing one piece of land, they turn to another piece of land. Although the work efficiency is a little lower, the sound of everyone getting together is extremely loud, and those who want to cause trouble dare not come forward.
, even those seeking information must approach cautiously!
And these people actually have to practice every day! But the projects they practice are much less than Lend Lease Bank! They mainly practice spears and firecrackers! People who inquired said that they don’t have any formations in practice, just a large group of people crowded together
Together, the person in front used a spear, and the person behind used a firecracker! Then they stabbed randomly with spears and struck with firecrackers, with no rules at all!
But when Qian Shounian heard this, he became even more depressed and crazy! Because this is enough to repel the attack of ordinary enemies! There are spears in front and muskets in the back. The salt owl are not fools. They can't see it.
Leave whatever is cheap!
What's more, there are swordsmen on the side. If they are entangled by those swordsmen, the salt lords are not willing! After all, they often have to deal with swordsmen when transporting salt. Sometimes they are short of manpower and have to hire a group of swordsmen, so each other
There is still friendship between them!
Therefore, no one is willing to kill the swordsman, because it is not worthwhile to have an enemy for nothing! And if someone tries to cause trouble while transporting salt, wouldn't it be bad! Therefore, there are no casualties here at Salt Owl, but Qian Shounian's
The thugs killed and injured some people!
Then he sent people to inquire about several other nearby places and found that the situation there was similar to here! Where there was no Liansheng Bank, the people from Liansheng Grain Bank retreated into the village and mingled with the farmers they had recruited.
In places where there is no Zhuangzi, there are people who came forward to organize the farmers to gather together and build a rudimentary form of a small Zhuangzi. And daily practice is necessary! Such actions made Qian Shounian feel that a dog cannot bite a hedgehog!
Naturally, their actions could not be hidden from the Zhang family, who was a local snake. What's more, Zhang Jingping guessed that they would make a move from the beginning and was keeping an eye on them. Especially when the swordsmen and salt owl were gathering, Zhang Jingping sent someone specially to come.
I warned them not to make things too big!
Moreover, Zhang Jingping also sent soldiers to increase the intensity of patrols. Judging from the actions of the soldiers, it was obvious that they had been instructed and were not biased towards any party. Moreover, Zhang Jingping also tried to play the role of peacemaker and wanted to invite both parties.
He sat down and talked with two people, but was rejected mercilessly by both parties! This made him feel very embarrassed!
But even so, he didn't want to offend any party. He just tried his best to maintain the balance in Datong City and its surroundings. Behind the grain merchants and salt merchants were a collection of high-ranking families and powerful people, and he could never offend him! And the other party was even more
Whether he is a newly powerful nobleman or a confidant of Emperor Wanli, he also does not want to offend him. Now that he is caught in the middle, he is a little anxious and regretful, but there is nothing he can do.
Qian Shounian and others naturally scoffed at Zhang Jingping's warning! Now they just don't have time to deal with him, otherwise it would be his turn to point fingers here! Now their big problem is how to deal with these people under Liansheng Hao.
So even with Zhang Jingping's efforts, there were still several armed fights outside the city, resulting in some casualties! And what is surprising is that the number of people who died on the Yan Xiao side was far more than that of the farmers in Zhuangzi!
The reason for this is very simple, because Qian Shounian did not dare to fight with Liu Haojia, so he specially ordered not to make the matter a big deal! Therefore, many methods such as arson were not used. He just wanted to use swords and guns to
Attack and scatter the farmers!
However, in order to save their jobs, these farmers showed great courage! And the people who secretly commanded them were regular officers in the Wu'an Army, so they suffered a big loss when they underestimated the enemy!
The officers knew that the hastily trained farmers could not be the opponents of the salt owl, so they never fought with them head-on. Instead, they huddled in the village and guarded several intersections! Moreover, they did not even show their faces at the intersection, they just retreated.
On the passage between the houses on both sides, use a long gun to hold up the entire intersection! At the same time, place the person using the musket on the roof and shoot from a high position!
Their approach is as annoying as hedgehogs! When the Salt Owl attacked, there was nothing they could do against the dense spears! Although the farmers did not train for long, they still stabbed some people under the random thrusts of the spears.
A breeze!
Especially when firecrackers are constantly being shot down from the roofs of houses, this is the key to causing casualties! Although farmers are not very accurate when using firecrackers, the sound of firecrackers shooting is enough to make people frightened! Not to mention being hit by firecrackers.
A hit will really kill someone!
In the eyes of the salt lords, a well-aimed fire blunderbuss is not scary. The worst thing is to dodge and die! But the fire blunderbuss fired by the farmers are not accurate at all. They don't know where or who they will hit.
body! This puts them under a lot of psychological pressure!
Especially during a fight, there was a situation where archers and firecrackers were shooting at each other. It was a disaster! The Salt Owls clearly saw that the opponent's firecrackers were aimed at the archers, but the lead bullets hit them more than ten steps away.
The crowd of Yan Xiao people who were watching the excitement actually beat the Yan Xiao team with high morale to a pulp! This can be regarded as an interesting anecdote in the battle!
In this way, the conflict between the two sides turned into a protracted battle. As time went on, the salt owl had to disperse before the official army arrived. So they paid some casualties but never succeeded!
