I’m The King Chapter 1327: : Han Banner World (17) Tongji Riot

A riot broke out in Tongji Iron Mine, which ranks second in Liaoning County. Gao Yuan and Sun Xiao were a little dumbfounded by the news brought by Cao Tianci. Just now, they talked about the possible problems in the mining area of ​​the three counties in Liaodong. With a glance, suppressing the shock in my heart, "What is the situation now?"

Cao Tianci swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I just got the news, I'm afraid Mao County Sheriff has also received the news at this time, Tongji Iron Mine is the second largest iron mine in Liaoning County, there are more than 10,000 miners in total, the mining area There are three mines in the area, and most of the miners are Yi and indigenous people.”

Gao Yuan took a breath, "More than 10,000 people? All of them participated in the riot?"

“The situation is not very clear now, I only know that there｜猪｜猪｜Island｜Novel www.[zhu][zhu][] The situation has gotten out of control, and the miners have controlled all the local official personnel and the management personnel of the mining area " Cao Tianci shook his head and said, "The specific situation will have to wait for the subsequent report."

Gao Yuan sat down slowly, picked up the cold tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and looked at Sun Xiao: "Sun Xiao, tell me, this is a long-planned riot Or is it a temporary idea?"

Sun Xiao was taken aback, but immediately reacted, and thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say, it depends on the reaction of these rioting miners. It will be more troublesome if their subsequent actions prove to be long-planned." , if it was a temporary idea, it would be easier to talk about."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Wait for the news first, and see what Mao Dewang said. Godsend, you go and ask Yang Dasha to come in."

"Understood!"

Almost at the same time Gao Yuan got the news, Mao Dewang in the Sheriff's Mansion also received the news, and immediately sweated profusely. The riot of tens of thousands of miners is not a trivial matter. And it was at the time when the king was on tour, it was like a stab in the heart of Mao Dewang, and he had just received the reward from the king during the day, and this kind of thing happened in a blink of an eye, this is not for the king A loud slap across the face?

"Affirmation, you are the police chief of Liaoning County, responsible for the security work of the whole county. Didn't you hear about such a big incident at the Tongji Mine? You are dereliction of duty!" Looking at the statement, Mao Dewang gritted his teeth and said.

Shen Ming looked sad. For such a big incident, he, the person responsible for the security of the whole county, can't escape responsibility, "Sheriff, we don't have any news about the branch of our police station in Tongji Mine. Now, where we have less than fifty people, this. This riot of tens of thousands of people, what can they do?"

"Isn't there any warning in advance? They are all dry food?" Mao Dewang's hands were trembling, "The tens of thousands of people rioting together, could it be done in a hurry?"

"My lord. The situation is not clear now. Our first priority is to find out the specific situation there. By the way, isn't the owner of Tongji Mine, Zhu Da, still in Helincheng? Find him immediately, or he will know better. .”

"Shen Ming, go and get Zhu Da for me right away. No, I'll catch you." Mao Dewang roared.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shen Ming almost ran out.

"Guardian, don't be in chaos now. Although there are tens of thousands of people participating, they are all miners and a mob. Influenced by the influence, it will be easier for the sheriff to talk to the king." Feng Dong said in a low voice.

"How many people do you have, but only 3,000 people, and they are stationed in various places. They are miners, not unarmed farmers. Don't forget, there is gunpowder in the mine." Mao Dewang's voice was still trembling with.

"But now, we can't do nothing, can we?" Feng Dong said.

"Feng Dong, gather the garrison troops in the city immediately. I, I'm going to see the king now." Mao Dewang slumped down on a chair like a deflated ball, "The king will decide how to deal with it." .”

In the hall, there was a dead silence, the king was on tour, but such a big thing happened in Liaoning County, everyone could not help but understand that everyone's future was bleak.

After sitting for a while, Mao Dewang forced himself to calm down, "You all stay at your posts and do your own work well. The news must be blocked in the city, and the incident of the Tongji Mine riot must not be leaked, causing He Lin The panic in the city."

"Yes, Lord Sheriff."

"Maybe this is the last time I issued an order as a sheriff." Mao Dewang stood up in a bit of panic, "I shall take the first responsibility for this incident."

Everyone was silent, watching Mao Dewang staggered out.

Gaoyuan's residence was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was a little tense. The guards stepped up their vigilance in the shortest possible time, and heavily armed soldiers were standing by.

"Your Majesty, the guards have made all the preparations. The general has sent his horse to Liaoxi County. Where should the thousand cavalry that Meihua escorted Mr. Jiang back to Dayan Lake be? , at most four or five days, you can come here." Yang Dasha said with a serious face.

"Yeah." Gao Yuan looked at the lights in front of him ecstatically, "Heavenly gift, it's almost dawn, has there been any news from Tongji Mine?"

"Your Majesty, there is no latest news." Cao Tianci said.

He Weiyuan hurried over, "Your Majesty, Mao Dewang begs to see you."

"Let him in." Gao Yuan took a breath.

Mao Dewang walked in with a pale face, knelt down in front of Gao Yuan with a bang, took off the official hat on his head without a word, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Your Majesty, the criminal Mao Dewang has come to plead guilty."

"Governor Mao, you haven't been dismissed yet." Gao Yuan glanced at Mao Dewang, "Tell me, what's going on? There's no reason for such a big incident at Tongji Mine. As the governor of a county, I don't believe that you don't even know what's going on here."

Mao Dewang shook slightly, straightened up, picked up the official hat on the ground with both hands, and put it on his head straightly.

"Your Majesty, the riot at the Tongji Mine is probably related to the meager income of the miners and the excessive exploitation of the mine owners. As far as I know, most of the miners employed in this mine are local aborigines and foreigners."

With a bang, Gao Yuan slapped his palm on the table, "Aren't the local aborigines the people of a big man? Could it be that those Yi people are beyond the light of my big man? Since you knew about this, why didn't you intervene? "

"Your Majesty, the annual tax paid by Tongji Mine has always been ranked first among similar industries, and it usually supports the construction of the county with a lot of investment, and in the past few years, it has been safe and sound. , minister, minister..."

"So you turned a blind eye." Gao Yuan sighed. "Anyway, the Tongji Mine is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no information. In addition, those people are illiterate and don't know the laws of the Han Dynasty. You just let the mine owners do whatever they want, fish miners? Eat their meat and drink their blood?"

Mao Dewang trembled all over, bowed his head and was speechless.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Tongji Mine." An official strode in.

"Say it quickly." Gao Yuan snapped.

"Your Majesty, it has now been confirmed that all the managers of the Tongji Mine have been detained, and all the personnel of the police station on the mine have also fallen into the hands of the miners. There is no shortage of weapons, and what is more worrying is that there are hundreds of kilograms of explosives in the mine." The intelligence officer who came in said loudly: "Now Tongji City has closed the city gate, and the county magistrate mobilized all the people in the city to go up to the city to prepare for defense. Hurry up and ask Helin for help."

"The rioting miners are planning to attack Tongji County?"

"Not yet, according to the information sent back by our intelligence personnel, so far, there is no sign of rioters coming out. However, tens of thousands of miners are more emotional."

"Your Majesty, these miners are tough men, rough and ignorant of laws and regulations. Once someone instigates them, the consequences will be unimaginable. Tongji has no garrison at all, and He Lin is also short of troops. Please send troops immediately to calm down. Rebellion, if these miners leave the mining area and enter Tongji City, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe." Mao Dewang said in a trembling voice.

"Hmph, isn't it a bit late for you to know this now?" Gao Yuan sneered. "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. The seeds of the disaster have been planted long ago, but it just happened to explode today. Mao Dewang, I have said more than once, but all the people living on my Han land, regardless of race, should Treat all people equally, think about it yourself, have you done it? Have you seriously implemented the laws of the Great Han? If you can take each one seriously, how can today's matter come about?"

"Your Majesty~IndoMTL.com~ and Lin's garrison may be mobilized in a hurry. The only available troops now are our 3,000 guards who can rush to Tongji as quickly as possible. Once these mobs leave the mining area and enter Tongji County, it may cause a catastrophe." Sun Xiao said softly on the side.

"Your Majesty, let Commander Yang lead his troops to Tongji first, and stop these mobs first." Cao Tianci also said.

Gao Yuan raised his head, looked at the people in the room, and said slowly: "Send the order, I will go to Tongji City in person."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, Your Majesty, how can you be in danger with your golden body?" Mao Dewang was shocked and raised his head.

"Entering a dangerous place?" Gao Yuan sneered: "This king has never been afraid even before the enemy's thousands of troops. Is it possible that he is still timid in front of his own people now? Dasha, prepare your horse." , let’s go to Tongji. Mao Dewang, you also come.”

Sun Xiao, Cao Tianci and the others looked at each other and stopped talking.

When the sky was bright, the 3,000 guards were fully armed and marched towards Tongji. At the same time, letters flew from Helin City to Liaoxi County, and then to Jicheng Political Hall. (to be continued...)
