Chapter 148: Mining Bandits
Still not.
Knowledge that allows Zhang Luo to create a blunderbuss with 100% certainty.
Zhang Luo couldn't be sure either.
What level does the firearms skill need to be?
Only in this way can we ensure that we can create a blunderbuss.
Bird guns are quite dangerous.
If it is not handled well.
It can be exploded at any time.
compare to.
The difficulty of Western artillery is actually lower.
But casting artillery requires more materials.
Skills alone are not enough.
You need the help of an ironsmith.
There are still too few people who can use it.
Whether it's a blunderbuss or an artillery piece.
After it is made, it must go through repeated testing.
The instability of the feudal era was too bad.
Now even if you search the entire Ming Dynasty.
No one feels guaranteed.
Bring your own firearms that you can use.
The next day, it was time for the mid-month make-up classes again.
Zhang Luozheng was planning to take the pony out.
Zhang Wangsheng ran in all of a sudden.
"Brother Zhang Luo, my cousin asked you not to go to the county."
"The mining bandits are causing trouble on the road."
"We can no longer walk on the road!"
Zhang Luo held the pony.
It reminds me of several mines in the upper reaches of the river.
Asked Zhang Wangsheng:
"Miner bandits?"
"Did it appear upstream of the river?"
Zhang Wangsheng said:
"Oh, I can't tell clearly either."
"Anyway, my cousin told you not to leave the guardhouse."
"Then I ask you to go to Baihu Mansion quickly."
"I have something important to discuss with you."
Zhang Luo handed the pony to Zhang Wangsheng.
Then he ran to Baihu Mansion in a few quick steps.
I saw Zhang Liansheng leading a few soldiers.
They are discussing something in Baihu Mansion.
Zhang Liansheng sat in the seat of the hundred households.
Zhang Luo walked into Baihu Mansion.
Sit down directly next to her.
A soldier was standing next to Zhang Liansheng reporting the situation.
I saw Zhang Luo coming in.
He saluted Zhang Luo.
Then he said:
"Baihu, Mr. Zhang."
"According to the information from the spies."
"This mining bandit is very similar to the Xishan bandit some time ago."
"They are all homeless people."
"Gathered together, the boss claimed to be the descendant of Deng Laoqi."
"Robbing the mine."
In the end, they are still bandits.
Zhang Luo thought it was the miners in the mine who were making trouble.
Zhang Luo patted his head.
In the feudal era there was such a group of bandits.
Call it a mining bandit.
Not talking about the knowledge in the system.
Zhang Luo was a child.
While reading books in the village.
It's earlier than my hometown here.
I was harassed several times by mining bandits.
Several provinces in Fujian and Jiangxi.
There are some silver mines.
If it's not from the official family.
Unless it belongs to a big local landowner.
Ordinary people do not mine at all.
The right to use it yourself.
But some people who can't survive.
After becoming a refugee.
Will covet the resources in the mine.
Form a gang and occupy the mine.
Use the mined minerals for your own use.
Slowly it became.
The so-called mining bandits.
During the Zhengde period, a large-scale mining bandit rebellion broke out in Fujian.
Of course this is a large scale.
It's not that big either.
Thousands of people occupied several mines.
Separate one side and confront the mining bandits.
There was a leader at that time.
Claims to be a descendant of Deng Laoqi during the Zhengtong period.
After being pacified by the imperial court.
Unexpectedly, the mining bandits are now on the rise again.
It just so happened that Deng Laoqi was from Fujian.
So the miners rebelled in the future.
Almost all of them call themselves descendants of Deng Laoqi.
If your surname is not Deng.
Like this Chen Jiu.
Claims to be the descendant of Mr. Deng.
Zhang Luo asked the soldiers:
"This is Chen Jiu."
"What kind of rebel is he?"
A soldier reporting the news.
He sighed and said:
"Still the same as the Xishan bandits."
"He was harmed by the officers and soldiers of the official family."
"It's so hard."
"Chen Jiu was not a refugee before."
"He's a miner from the official mine."
"Then he ran away."
"I pulled a team of refugees myself."
Zhang Luo showed an ugly expression.
Shaked his head.
The officials forced the people to rebel.
I don’t know how many times this has happened.
No matter how many situations have occurred before.
No one in the future can learn the lesson.
"How is the situation at the mine now?"
"Quanzhou Guard has sent officers and soldiers out."
"I just don't know if the officers and soldiers are here?"
Zhang Liansheng said:
"Zhenhaiwei belongs to Haiwei."
"Quanzhou Guards have noticed it now."
"There is no need for us to send troops."
"We'd better wait and see how things get better."
Then Zhang Liansheng looked at Zhang Luo and said:
"It's hard to walk now."
"Mr. Zhang went to the city to study."
"Just take it easy first."
"It's not too late to go another day."
Zhang Luo nodded.
Didn't expect that.
The main force of the Four Kings of the Sea has not arrived.
Jinjiang City itself was in civil strife first.
It’s really bad things happening one after another!
Commander Xu of Quanzhou Wei.
When I got the news that the mining bandits were gathering.
It is very difficult to send troops.
But there is no way in the mine.
There are not only officers and soldiers.
The guarding eunuch of Lianshi Shipsi.
They're all trapped inside.
The matter of the miners.
If it doesn't calm down.
Things got serious.
Magistrate Li and Commander Xu.
It will all be bad luck.
no way.
Xu commanded the envoy.
Only unwillingly.
Two hundred households were sent out.
Let his deputy general Xu Yao lead the army.
Send troops to quell the mining bandits.
I was stopped by a bandit on the road.
Zhang Luo had no idea.
Just wait honestly for news from the army.
But he couldn't take any time off either.
and a group of military remnants.
Boarded the Liberty.
It is planned to remove the four Western artillery pieces on the ship.
Take it all apart for him.
"Don't use too much force."
"Don't fall, be careful"
Zhang Wangsheng watched with amusement from the side.
See Zhang Luo and let the rest of the army use the rope.
Pull the cannon out of the Liberty.
Then the wooden cart was prepared.
The artillery was carefully placed on the wooden cart.
"Zhang Luo, this looks like an ordinary cannon."
"Does it take so many people?"
Zhang Luo thought of Zhenhaiwei.
We also had cannons before.
He touched Zhang Wangsheng’s little head.
He smiled and said:
"This is an artillery piece from the West."
"It's so powerful."
"You'll understand later when you see it."
Cleia and her crew.
Also looking at Zhang Luo and others.
Remove the cannon from the ship.
They had no intention of stopping him.
And there are dozens of them.
They are no match for Zhang Luo and the others.
But Zhang Luo didn't just want the artillery on the Liberty.
He also asked Cleia.
Which crew members are gunners?
Let him call out the gunner.
Cleia felt uncomfortable hearing this.
It felt like someone had stripped me of my clothes.
Also ask where the money is.
Most of the gunners on the Liberty.
They were also among the few Dutchmen on board.
Artillery will be used in these years.
Definitely a rare soldier.
Among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Will use artillery.
At least they all started from Qianhu.
After arranging the artillery.
Zhang Luo led the remnants of the army.
Near the school grounds.
Dig out a clear space.
Use it as a temporary running ground.
Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Liansheng.
Wait for Zhenhaiwei and his team.
They all came to the edge of the temporary running field.
Zhang Luo drove the wooden cart overnight.
Transformed into a gun carriage that can be adapted to artillery.
Then let the Dutch gunners.
Load the cannonballs.
Then push the mother tube in.
Finally, the gunner lit the fuse.
