The village is peaceful and comfortable, with the sun shining on the newly built wide-eaves wooden house, and the scenery is unique.
There was a jingle and jingle knocking sound in the air, mixed with hawking and shouting.
However, the weather in Mengyang is unpredictable; it may suddenly rain heavily on the morning of sunny days.
There was no sudden rain today, but there was a burst of rapid horse hooves.
As soon as he rode on the street, the soldiers on the horses saw Zhao Ping and others, then turned over and got off the horse and clasped their fists and said: Report to Zhao Baihu, the scout came to the camp to report and found that behind the mountain in the mine, many natives were digging a mining pit!
Zhao Ping frowned, remembering what the King of Han told him, and immediately said: Pass my order and immediately summon the brothers in the camp.
Get order!The sergeant clasped his fists.
Zhao Ping turned his head to Diao Ya and said: We will hand over our official documents and then handle it. Miss Diao Ya will follow me to the mountain and take a look.
Diao Ya nodded in agreement.
Zhao Ping and twenty or thirty people arrived at the mountain, and saw a large group of native people digging stones at the foot of the mountain.He observed the horse and found that these people were indeed coming from the jade mine.
The natives learned from the methods of the craftsmen in the mines, burned the mines and poured them with water to see the jade inside after the ore was cracked.
The black smoke and white vapor were lingering at the foot of the mountain, and a noisy ball; there were two elephants in between, and they whirlwind from time to time.
Many natives found that armored soldiers were coming and looked up.
Zhao Ping turned over and got off the horse and led the horse down the hillside.He turned to Diao Ya and said: Ask them who is in charge and come out to answer!
Diao Ya shouted a few times in the earthy language, and several dark men in flowery skirts walked towards this side with their knives.
Array!A screamed in the sergeant.More than twenty soldiers lined up in two rows with guns, shields, bows and crossbows, making a way out in the middle of the formation, protecting Zhao Ping, local official Xiaoniang and others.
The natives in flowery skirts started to yell. Diao Ya said quickly: What do you want to do?
Zhao Pingdao: Yunnan Dushi and Meng Yangxuanwei envoy Sixing made a legal alliance, and Meng Yang's jade mine was only allowed by the Dushi to open the mine.
Diao Ya told the natives in the flower skirt to tell Zhao Ping's words, and the natives started yelling again. Diao Ya translated: This is our place. When we dig our own mountain, what does it have to do with you?
Zhao Ping exchanged expressions with Manager Xu, and Manager Xu clasped his fists and said: I have to make a decision.
Zhao Ping said: Go and block the road!Ask them to put down the ore to leave here.
The general responded and shouted: Turn left!go ahead!
The soldiers lined up to run towards the road outside the mine.
The local coolies who were pushing the wheelbarrow were blocked on the road, making noises and noisy, and more local people rushed up, pushing and rushing the soldiers approaching the Ming army.
The soldiers were in front of the guns and shields, and they did not dare to attack the unarmed coolie for a while.
Zhao Ping scolded loudly, and Diao Ya also shouted in local dialect, but it was useless.Soon, the two elephants rushed towards the road with heavy steps.
If the elephant approaches, how can the infantry's thin defense line still be blocked?
Zhao Ping ordered an arrow to be fired, and the string sounded pounding. The elephant was injured in an arrow and ran out to the roadside with a scream. The natives were also screaming in an arrow.
The scene was chaotic, and the local people in front of the formation were pushed and squeezed onto the large shield, which made the Ming army's formation turbulent.
Finally, a soldier angrily stabbed a native man. Blood splattered out, and the soldiers took action one after another, and soon several native men were stabbed to death in front of him.
The road was panicked and confused for a while, and soon the natives ran away.
Zhao Ping saw several natives wearing flower skirts leaving the mine and hurriedly left the path.He looked at the several corpses lying in a pool of blood on the road and suddenly felt something was wrong.
There were too few soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and there were no fortifications here, so Zhao Ping decided to go back first.
When the group returned to the military camp, Zhao Ping immediately wrote two letters.
One letter was delivered to the Han Palace in Yunnan, and the other letter was sent to the Mengyang Xuanwei Envoy Office nearby to negotiate with Sijia on the mining alliance.
They are all written in Chinese characters, so the Si family’s father was once conferred a consolation envoy of Ping Mian Xuan, and there must be people who can understand Chinese characters.
Then Zhao Ping ordered martial law in the villages of the army to be stationed.
The military camp is also in the village, located near the north gate of the village; there is also an open space outside the north gate of the schoolyard; the mine is at the foot of the mountain to the west of the village.
The situation is different now. The Ming army has 150 people, and they can only barely defend the village, so the mines can't take care of it.
In the afternoon, many natives came to the west gate of Juntun Village. They put the dead bodies on wooden racks and carried them to the door.
The weather is hot at this time, and it will be smelly after a while.
The natives shouted outside the village gate, demanding that the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers pay the funeral expenses, a body of eight taels of silver, and punish the murderer.
Zhao Ping called Diao Ya to shout, "It is illegal for Meng Yangdi people to start mining privately; it is unreasonable to take the initiative to attack the official army formation."Anyway, there is no agreement.
After a while of noise, Diao Ya said: Those people must not be villagers. The villagers must be afraid of seeing so many soldiers, and they are unlikely to bargain with the official army.
When I saw the natives in the flower-skirts in the mine behind the mountain, I guessed that they were not ordinary villagers.Zhao Ping nodded.
Diao Ya asked: General Zhao thought, who should they be?
A person who misses his family.Zhao Ping frowned.
Diao Ya opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Zhao Ping unable to speak.
Zhao Ping glanced at Xu Caiqi who was thinking and said: I heard that not long ago, two beautiful jades called "Heavenly by Heaven" in Kunming City were sold at high prices of 30,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan.When Sijia heard this news, she must be dissatisfied with the original 8,000 guan a year. They wanted more benefits.
Xu Caiqi said at this time: General Zhao is worthy of being a scholar, and he tells the secret of heaven in one sentence!
Meng Yangxuanwei was the capital of the capital, which was only more than ten miles away from the mine.The next morning, Sijia sent someone over.
As expected by Zhao Ping, the envoy of Si was very happy and he asked to increase the profits of Meng Yangxuan and Fushi Department by 200 times to 160,000 guan of silver!
Sixty thousand coins?!Zhao Ping suspected that he had heard it wrong, but the envoy of the family-sensei could speak Chinese, and he said it again and it was still the same number...
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Han, had as many as 20,000 soldiers in the guarding army.
Half of these 20,000 people are farming and the other half are on duty.
In fact, the annual military pay expenses of the Han Palace are about 10,000 jin, and the guards of the Han Palace are well-equipped and strong, so the military pay is not low.
160,000 ounces of silver are enough for the sixteen-year military pay expenses of the three guards of the Han Palace!
Zhao Ping immediately rejected the envoy's proposal. He was the general who was guarding hundreds of military generals in the Han Palace and was ordered to control the matters of Mengyang Mine.Such a major event should have been reported to the Han Palace and the Yunnan Metropolitan Office first.But Meng Yangxuan comforted the envoy to express a 160,000 yuan quota, and it was impossible not to report it!
The messenger said: I heard that a pair of jade sold for 50,000 guan, but now there are no jade mines in Mengyang. Isn’t it too much?
Xu Caiqi bowed to Zhao Ping with his fists and saw Zhao Ping nodding, Xu Caiqi said: You don’t know anything.The rumored jade is called "The Combination of Heaven". This kind of jade is a rare thing in the world and cannot be found every year.What's more, even the "combination made by heaven" cannot be exchanged for 50,000 jin of silver.The people who bought this jade were King Ning and King Han... Mengyang Mine was protected by the Han Palace, and the envoy thought that King Han would really spend so much silver to buy this jade from the Shen family?
What do you mean? The messenger asked.
Xu Caiqi said: What this means is that you may have mistakenly estimated the huge profits of jade; the rumors are not credible, but merchants are just to promote the reputation of jade.In fact, the profit we get is far less than that, and we cannot share the huge silver of 160,000 jin.
The messenger said: Our king was deceived by the Han people, and eight hundred stale silver was simply not worth mentioning!
Zhao Ping said: This matter is of great importance, and you must first report to the Yunnan government before you can reply to Meng Yangxuan’s comfort envoy.I will ask Sijia to evacuate the people in the mine first, and those who are causing trouble outside the Juntun Village will also evacuate them. When the government offices of Kunming City send envoys again to the Mengyang Xuanfu Envoy Office, what should I do?
At this moment, Xu Caiqi approached Zhao Ping and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Zhao Ping nodded, and then clasped his fists at the messenger and said: The King of Han once proposed another method with the mine owner Shen family. In addition to sharing profits, Sishi can also start mining, but can only be sold to the Shen family.At that time, the head of the Shen family believed that the chieftain was unable to mine the mine pit, so he decided to only share profits.
The messenger thought for a while and said, "Then I will go back and report your words to the king (Meng Yangxuan Comfort Envoy).People died outside, and the villagers died. If the general did not pay the funeral expenses, it would be difficult to convince the public.
Zhao Ping immediately replied: We don’t want this to happen, but the fault of this is not the official army.I lost money this time, and the villagers here do not follow the rules next time, wouldn’t they just increase their casualties?
The messenger said coldly: I will listen to you!
The two sides talked for a long time and parted unhappily.Zhao Ping still sent the envoy out of the village gate himself.
Yesterday evening, the body outside the village gate smelled smelly.
The generals and shopkeepers were afraid of plague, so they first fired muskets on the wall to scare the natives.
Then he mobilized his troops to rush out of the west gate, forced the tung oil and firewood, and burned the capital.
On the fire where tung oil and diesel burned, black smoke rolled.Zhao Ping stood behind the earthen wall, looking out, watching from the natives through the black smoke.The natives did not come up to put out the fire, but they had not dispersed yet.
The mining situation has been quiet and peaceful in the past three months, and the peace situation may be just a flash in the pan.
Gone are the scenes of mutually beneficial transactions between native villagers and Han merchants and the common people, and the scene of communicating with each other.
Things in this world cannot be decided by the will of good people.
Zhao Ping remained silent for a long time, standing among the flames and smoke, recalling what had happened in the past two days.
He was a little worried that he would not do good things, but thought that everything was done according to the rules and principles. The chieftain was coming to cause trouble. What would he do?
At this moment, Xu Caiqi also walked onto the earth wall.Zhao Ping said: Even if we give in first, the toast may become more and more capable!
There was a jingle and jingle knocking sound in the air, mixed with hawking and shouting.
However, the weather in Mengyang is unpredictable; it may suddenly rain heavily on the morning of sunny days.
There was no sudden rain today, but there was a burst of rapid horse hooves.
