I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Qingzhou Prefecture, Le'an.

The sound of the bird gun being loaded with medicine came.

A military force of about 8000 people stayed here, looking at the rioters rushing towards them in the distance, all of them felt helpless.

Lu Xiangsheng was riding on a horse and had not yet issued an attack order.

At this time, there was a "whoosh" from the sky, and an arrow cluster just landed softly on the leather armor of his saddle.

Looking at the direction, it was shot from the mob on the opposite side.

"Master Bing Bei...?"

Standing by the side of the horse, Mr. Bai noticed that the rioters had rushed within a hundred paces, but they still didn't hear the order, so he looked up.

Lu Xiangsheng looked over there, these rioters didn't look like any threatening enemies.

There were 2000 people in this group of rioters rushing from the saltworks, but there were all kinds of guys they could carry, including pitchforks and wooden sticks, and the best thing was a light bow.

"Bing Bei, nearly ten steps away!"

Mr. Bai's anxious shout made Lu Xiangsheng feel refreshed.

He sighed softly, even though he knew that the other party was being used by others, that they were innocent people suffering, but this battle still had to be fought.

This group of people has already started to make a fuss, and when it starts, the nature changes.

Once Sa Huan breaks through the previous court law, there is no possibility of stopping, and they will soon like the feeling of doing whatever they want.

Even if it is calmed down, it will still be a threat in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the mob troops who were close at hand, raised his hand, and shouted: "Bird gun team, let it go!"

"Bang bang bang..."

A round of gunfire passed, the rioters dropped nearly a hundred corpses, and the rest collapsed immediately.

They were so frightened that they threw away their weapons, turned around and ran towards the saltworks.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng didn't hear any words of repentance from this group of people. Most of them shouted back to the saltworks, relying on the terrain to fight against the dog officer army.

That's right, dog officer...

Lu Xiangsheng wasn't angry, he was cold-hearted.

It is easy for the common people to be misled by those who have a heart, and some people who have long lost hope in life will use this to speak out and try to break through the prison.

This imprisonment is the law of the court today.

Unfortunately, it is not a peaceful and prosperous time. Although the current emperor is sharp and innovative, the Ming Dynasty has gone downhill for a long time.

The apocalypse has only been around for four years, so what can be changed.

Local people are still struggling to make ends meet, and there are many people who can't survive. The salt law this time is just an excuse, and it's just an excuse for those who are already frustrated to rebel.

This trend must not be encouraged!

When the most basic bottom line - the "law" is broken, and even the court is unable to maintain it, the world will be in chaos, and no one will abide by any regulations.

The imperial court is unable to restrain the localities, and the government will become useless. Such a chaotic world will be a disaster for more people.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng no longer had any doubts, and drew his knife and ordered:

"Pursue and kill the past, and kill all those who resist."

These rioters can only be called rioters. They don't have any common program at all. They just want to rebel. Once the army arrives, they will naturally fall apart.

The Tianxiong Army was basically the soldiers and horses of the guards that Zhu Youxiao rebelled when he went to Nanjing. Lu Xiangsheng had only trained them for a year.

The current Tianxiong army is at best stronger than the local guard army and needs to be tempered.

It was this kind of official army that defeated the rioters without any suspense as soon as they came into contact.

There is no way, swords, guns, armor and ordnance are not at the same level at all.

Most of the time, a shell, a salvo, or even a charge, and the battle is over.

The Tianxiong Army had [-] cavalry troops. As soon as Lu Xiang gave an order, the cavalry of the official army chased after the rioters, hacking and killing wantonly.

Lu Xiangsheng pays attention to military training, and the military regulations are very strict. Moreover, Tianxiong's army is not a local soldier.

Soon, the battlefield, which was hardly a battle, was over.

This is the last battle in Qingzhou.

Since mid-February, the Tianxiong army entered Shandong and fought seven battles and victories in Mengyin, Andongwei, Zhucheng, Le'an, Yishui, Shouguang, and Le'an. Qingzhou Prefecture was pacified within half a month. .

……

After the war, the Tianxiong Army was cleaning up the battlefield, counting and capturing.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. The opponents are all rioters, and the ordnance and equipment cannot be better than that of the army.

In fact, most of the officers and soldiers need to do is to cut off the heads and seal them for meritorious service, and then properly arrange the bodies of the killed rioters to avoid the formation of plague.

Mr. Bai walked over at this moment, and said in a deep voice:

"No one was killed in battle, but three were injured, one was injured when the gun exploded due to tension, and one hand was disabled, but his life was not in danger..."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said:

"Place the corpses of these common people properly, and the soldier who was injured by the bombing will stop being a soldier. Give him some money and send him home."

Baizong nodded and continued to report:

"There are more than [-] heads in total. According to the order of the military equipment, the dead women, children and old people are not counted. The ones sealed and inspected are all strong men who can afford swords and guns."

"It's finally here, it's finally here!"

Before Lu Xiangsheng had time to say anything, there was an excited voice behind him, and it was Tang Wanfeng who came out of the hiding room with the Yan Dings.

"Lu Bingbei has seven battles and seven victories, and he has made great achievements. It is really gratifying!"

Tang Wanfeng's words were originally intended to please him before he could speak, but Lu Xiangsheng rolled his eyes when he didn't think so, and even the Bai Boss who left after the report was very dissatisfied with him.

"What... what did you say wrong?"

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's deliberately silly words, Lu Xiangsheng left him aside, walked into the house, sat by the fire and said:

"I heard that Tang Dong's family went to see Mr. Futai not long ago, what did they do?"

The Futai in Lu Xiangsheng's words is naturally Wang Weijian, the governor of Shandong.

Hearing this, Tang Wanfeng's expression changed, he ordered someone to serve tea, and said with a dry smile, "I have one thing that I don't understand. Is the military equipment responsible for commanding the army to quell chaos, or for investigating cases and managing politics?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of tea, then got up directly, and when he walked to the door, he looked sideways and said:

"Since that's the case, I won't stay here any longer. I, Lu Xiangsheng, just follow the order to quell the chaos. After the civil turmoil has been quelled, the next thing has nothing to do with me."

"Also, remind Tang Dong's family that Lu Daqi, the prefect of Dengzhou, has been arrested, and you are not far away."

After saying that, Lu Xiang got up and left without looking back.

Hearing this, Tang Wanfeng felt as if he had been hit hard, and was so frightened that he collapsed on the chair.

The point of this remark is that Lu Xiangsheng, the soldier who was ordered to quell the chaos, actually knew all about it, and didn't even dare to stay longer in Le'an.

Lu Daqi has been arrested, there is no imperial edict, how dare Wen Tiren have such courage?

It wasn't until this time that Tang Wanfeng realized that it wasn't Dongchang or the Jiyan Bureau who wanted to arrest him, but the current emperor.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian and Wen Tiren dared to do this was because they had the support of the emperor. They knew the exact meaning of the emperor, so they dared to oppose the whole of Shandong.

Since the implementation of the new salt law, Tang Wanfeng has never been afraid.

Because he felt that the local salt industry had been custom-made since the Jiajing year, and even if the imperial court wanted to intervene, it would be whimsical.

This was the first time Tang Wanfeng felt timid and had no chance of winning.

Now he doesn't have the heart to move anymore, it seems that in the current situation, he can only wait for Dongchang to come to his door.

The civil unrest has been quelled, so what else can there be?

Suddenly, he thought of a more creepy possibility. Could it be that the emperor saw the civil unrest in the place, so he simply killed him and cleaned up the whole Shandong.

If this is the case, nothing will happen if I didn't make any trouble earlier.

It was me who pushed my ancestral family business into the brazier with my own hands...

Chapter 488 Let's go again

Whoever you fight with, you can't fight with the emperor.

In this day and age, the emperor who holds the military power is equal to the sky, but no matter what, it is too late to regret it now.

The implementation of the new salt law is the general trend, and local officials are unable to compete with the imperial court. Only local tyrants and businessmen are no match for Dongchang and officers and soldiers.

After all the plots and plots have been used, and even a civil uprising in Qingzhou Prefecture, the court's momentum in implementing the new salt law has not wavered a bit.

This is all due to the iron fist of the current emperor...

"Boss, someone from Dongchang is here, what should I do?"

The leader of Yan Ding rushed over, and when he finished asking, he realized that the owner in front of him no longer had the shrewdness and confidence in his eyes.

The current Tang Wanfeng was sitting slumped on a chair, his mind was full of muddleheadedness. After some time, he murmured:

"Lu Xiangsheng also knew the intention of Dongchang, so he hid in advance..."

"200 years of family business, I didn't expect it to be destroyed in my hands..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a short but very intense shout of killing outside the door. In just a few breaths, the three or five Yan Ding leaders left outside were subdued by a large number of fans.

The fans in white clothes and soap boots rushed into the main hall in a hurry.

"Search--"

"As long as they are still panting, don't let any of them go!"

"Let go of one, be careful that the boss will kill you!"

The leader of Fanzi stepped into the door, holding a waist knife, looked around, and then approached the leader of Yanding who suddenly got up, and said coldly:

"Why, do you still want to resist?"

"If you resist in the corner, you will end up worse than those rioters outside. Surrender now, sir, I can leave you with a dead body!"

"Fart your mother—"

The leader of Yan Ding claimed to be a strong man, but he just followed the wrong master, and now he is naturally unwilling to live.

With a loud roar, he rushed towards the leader of the Fanzi.

Most of the jobs that fanzi do on weekdays are bullying honest people, and there are very few fighting strengths that can match Yan Ding.

Although the leader of Yan Ding is only one person, he came from the days of blood licking in the coastal area since he was a child. Sitting in this position, he did not know how much blood was stained on his hands.

Fighting for their lives now, the natural posture is different.

The leader of Yanding suddenly got up, went straight to the vital point, and directly stabbed to death the leader of the Fanzi who was about to continue speaking to scare people, frightening the fans around him.

But after all, there were more than a dozen of the fans still in the main hall. They quickly realized that they gathered together, and after paying the price of three people, they subdued the Yanding leader.

It's just that the leader of the Fanzi sent by the capital is dead at this time, and the Fanzi didn't know what to do for a while after arresting someone. While everyone was hesitating, a local Xiaoqi from the Supervision Department stood up and said loudly:

"The Tang family can't escape the death penalty. This person attacked and killed the court Tiqi, and the crime is aggravated!"

"Chop it up for me, as a sacrifice to the supervisor brother who died in the saltworks!"

Someone spoke, and they were all people who were familiar and familiar to the supervisors. The fans immediately had a backbone, and they all started to shout and curse.

The little flag stepped forward with a knife in hand, aimed at the neck of the chief Yan Ding, and asked:

"Rebel, do you have any last words?"

The leader of Yan Ding laughed loudly, and spat in his face, "You guys, relying on the number of people to arrest me, dare you let go and fight again!"

Xiao Qi smiled, swung his knife and slashed.

Afterwards, he held the knife and looked at the blood-staining neck of the Yanding leader, and sneered: "I have a lot of people, why should I be one-on-one with you?"

"A traitor who disobeyed the government's orders thought he was a loyal and brave man."

"One-on-one with me, you deserve it too!"
