Chapter 40: Make Way

Bang bang! Bang!

More than ten bird guns were all very loud. The miners who had been frightened by the frightened bird suddenly turned around and saw a large amount of smoke rising from the hillside in the forest, and they were panicked. When the smoke dissipated, they saw the generals on the hillside with a helmet and armor on the back of the flag holding the flag raised their right hand. The flag soldiers behind them were neatly stuffed the lead balls into the muzzle and compacted them with a strip, then raised the bird gun and aimed at them.

Next to the gunman, the long bowman stabbed the feather arrow in front of him, holding the bow and waiting to be fired, with many soldiers standing in spears, spears, swords and cards, and the weapons were unsheathed and waiting for charge. The momentum was really terrifying.

Silent.

Zhang Yongshou, who was besieged halfway up the mountain, was also trembling by the sound of guns, and suddenly got up from the ground and looked in the direction of the guns. He was really hit by the miners and suffered a great loss. He didn't know where the iron helmet was thrown, and several gaps were torn out of the cover armor. At this time, he saw Chen Mu Xiaoqi's behavior a hundred steps away, and he taught him to raise his hand and hammer it hard on his chest.

"Why didn't I expect it!"

Why didn't he expect to stand in a place that miners couldn't reach!

Zhang Yongshou suffered such a big loss. The story of Bai Yuanjie's contributions spread throughout the winter. I won't mention the ordinary military households for now. Zhang Yongshou felt very envious. He fought a war outside Qingyuan City, and gained more than ten true and fake Japanese heads, and made the first contribution to expel Japanese pirates outside the city. Who wouldn't envy this?

The first great achievement is that the governor's office of the Five Army said that it is a great achievement. As long as you run well, you can resist the enemy outside the city and say that you have made merit in defending the city!

Zhang Yongshou regretted throughout the winter. If he had trained hard and hard on the military households of Qingyuan Gorge Hundred Houses, would there have been any incidents of defeating the Japanese pirates? If it didn't happen, the person who was promoted to deputy Qianhou should be Zhang Yongshou!

"This is the luck. You fools look at Deputy Qianhu Bai. They are fighting with Japanese pirates outside Qingyuan City. They are the one who has achieved the right to be the general flag and fires the smoke. "Zhang Yongshou beats his chest and stamps his feet, waves his hand and scolds his confidants, "Look at you, you are beaten to the battle with Japanese pirates in Qingyuan Gorge and loses the helmet flags. They only know that their mother is running for life. The dog bag has not won the merits after the battle, and more than twenty deaths have died!"

"I can't beat these miners without a dead person!"

Zhang Yongshou cursed on the mountain, and the flag soldiers around him were afraid to come out. They were really not angry. They were beaten to death by miners and beaten to more than a dozen military households. Now there are only more than 30 people left on the mountain. Only by relying on the firearms and crossbows in the army can we get a moment of breathing on the mountain, so we can't even have the energy to say these nonsense to Zhang Yongshou.

Zhang Baihu was cursing on the mountain, and the miners at the foot of the mountain were really frightened. The flag army appeared on the hillside did not look as easy to deal with as the more than 40 people led by Zhang Yongshou. Not to mention anything else, just pointing at the crowd of bird guns, many miners were scared from the heart.

In fact, without Zhang Yongshou's defeat in Qingyuan Gorge, the Qingyuan City had a sense of crisis that Japanese pirates were powerful and unstoppable, Bai Yuanjie might not have made great contributions; if Zhang Yongshou's banner army had not raised their swords and fired guns in the chaos just now, hundreds of miners would not have been afraid of the more than ten bird guns under Chen Mu's father.

Speaking of which, Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu should be presenting wine and grateful to Zhang Baihu for his friendship!

But what made the miners even more frightened was not the bird gun that was aiming but not shooting. It was Chen Mu's words, "The reinforcements from the Thousand Houses of Qingcheng City under the Qingyuan Guard have arrived. Are you going to rebel?"

The power of these words is complete, and Chen Mu is standing there with a helmet and armor. He saw that Zhu Xiang, the rouge tax collector, looked at him and secretly gave the thumbs up to the President Chen who had just met for a while. He was so majestic!

Only Wei Xiaogui, who was standing behind Chen Mu, stood upright with the handle of the Japanese knife, glanced at Chen Mu's left hand behind him, rubbing gently, and rubbing on his armor every once in a while - looking carefully, his palms were sweating!

Although there were fifty soldiers under his command standing behind him, repeatedly hinting to himself that something would happen, his hands and feet could not help but tremble slightly. Only after he called out that no one from the miners came forward, Chen Mu was truly relieved from his heart, and then shouted: "Without rebellious, don't you put the tax collector back--that is the mountain master, come and talk!"

What Chen Mu was most afraid of was that the miners had made up their minds. When they saw them rushing up, they could only aim their bird guns at the poor people holding wooden sticks and iron picks and fight with them.

He could barely overcome the fear of fighting in his heart, but he could not overcome the hurdle in his heart. Whether it was the bandits or the Japanese pirates, Chen Mu was in his heart to protect himself. He killed the people who should be killed, but these miners who were just tax-resistant, no matter what the reason was, they would obviously not die!

The army that protects the country should take it as its responsibility to protect the people, rather than humiliate and kill the people - in this era, Chen Mu did not think that it could be changed.

People always have their own persistence. If they cannot persist in the right things, what is different from livestock?

After Chen Mu's speech fell, after a brief silence, the miners all had no idea. After looking at each other, most of them looked behind them involuntarily. Among these dark-skinned, strong-body but withered-looking miners, people surrounded a man in a civilian with a short knife. He was thirty or forty years old, but he didn't look like a traitor and a traitor and a traitor and a traitor. Besides, the traitor and a traitor and a traitor and a traitor were not able to run here to start a mine. Chen Mu could see from his clothes that this middle-aged man with an excited expression was a businessman.

"You can't let the tax collectors go. What should you do if you let the tax collectors go?" The man looked up at Chen Mu. Although the distance was far away, Chen Mu felt that he should be undecided in his heart. He walked forward two steps and stopped and pointed to the tax collector tied to the pillar and said, "Yang Fan, the lord of Caomin Mountain, opened the furnace and mine here with a ticket. The work was less than fifty, and there was only one furnace. He paid the silver every year and did not refuse taxes. It was just because the tax collector said that if Xiaomin gave him five taels of silver, he could get the ticket, but he unexpectedly asked for money one after another after checking the cashier. Today, he also brought the tax officer to ask for taxes. Xiaomin did not have any money to pay with him!"

Speaking of the latter, Yang Fan roared out in anger, then his nose twitched and his eyes were red. He pursed his lips and said in a complicated expression: "Today's affairs are irreversible, so the little people killed this tax collector and punished him here. I just hope that Jun Ye would not make things difficult for these miners. It was Yang's fault, so he didn't blame him..."

Chen Mu heard the farewell word and knew that things were going to be bad. He quickly interrupted: "Wait, now you have not made a big mistake. You can make up the 10 taels of silver for the tax officials, and we don't have to make it difficult for you. If you kill the tax collector, not only will you die, but most of the miners you keep saying will die."

At this time, how can we save the life of the tax collector?

Chen Mu couldn't figure out a complete solution, but he had the courage to get it dangerous. He put down his bird gun, slowly walked around the hillside, and walked alone towards the miners' gathering at the foot of the mountain.
