Chapter 1343: Rogues and scoundrels are all rubbish
Jiang Yue waited and waited outside the county government office. The longer he waited, the more his heart sank. Finally, seeing that there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sun, he had to accept the reality.
This imperial envoy was so bold that he not only arrested his father, but also his uncle. Knowing that the matter was irreversible and that his uncle could never leave the county government office again, Jiang Yue looked at the county government guards with sinister eyes.
After taking one look, he turned the carriage around and left without looking back.
But Han Du didn't pay attention to Jiang Yue and was thinking about the next step.
Jiang Yiru and others were caught by him, and even Chen Jian, who was behind the scenes, was trapped. However, Han Du still could not close the case because the main culprit Pan Fu was still hiding outside.
Two days later, the soldiers sent out to capture Pan Fu hurried back to Liyang County.
"Master Hou!"
Seeing a school captain prostrate himself in front of him, Han Du put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile: "Did Pan Fu catch him?"
"No." The captain raised his head and replied. .??.
Han Du's face darkened, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "The order I gave you is to arrest Pan Fu and bring him to justice. Now that Pan Fu has not been caught, why are you back?"
The captain said sternly: "Master Hou, during the process of chasing Pan Fu, the general learned a piece of news and had to rush back in advance to report to Master Hou."
"What news?" Han Du asked patiently.
The captain clasped his fists and saluted, "According to the information obtained by the general, Pan Fu ran to various counties not to avoid the pursuit of the general, but to connect with each other. He gathered people in various counties to do harm to the Marquis.
.”
"What?" Han Du stood up suddenly and was shocked.
If the captain hadn't told him, Han Du wouldn't have thought that it was a lie that Pan Fu fled to various counties, and that it was true that he was working together to deal with him. As expected, you can't underestimate anyone. A cadre with no knowledge has given himself a hard time.
class.
"According to what you said, the landlords and gentry in each county are not just protecting Pan Fu, but they were persuaded by Pan Fu to join forces to deal with me?"
The captain nodded immediately, "What the Marquis said is true. Pan Fu and those people do have such plans. They have now gathered ruffians and gangsters from various counties and are heading towards Liyang."
Han Du's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but open and close his fingers a few times. He asked, "Do you know how many people there are?"
"When the general came back, he had already heard that Zhao Zhen, a powerful smuggler of smuggled salt, was heading towards Liyang County with hundreds of ruffians. There were also people from other counties who had helped Pan Fu, and they also brought different numbers of people with them.
The servants and desperadoes are coming towards Liyang."
> One Zhao Zhen had hundreds of troops. Li Jizu thought of the places Pan Fu had been to, and after a little calculation in his mind, he concluded that nearly two thousand people inspired by Pan Fu were heading towards Liyang.
Li Jizu was suddenly startled and said anxiously: "Master Hou, the general will escort you out of Liyang immediately. After returning to the capital and reporting the situation to the emperor, we will send a large army to encircle and suppress these lawless people."
Han Du looked up at him and asked: "If I leave, let alone the people in the prison who will run away. I would like to ask you, what should the people of Liyang County do? You have also heard that those people
They are all desperadoes. If they enter the county, they won’t just have a cup of tea and leave, right?”
Soldiers pass through like a sieve, bandits pass through like a comb!
If those desperadoes enter the city, they will definitely not keep their peace and will definitely attack the people, and it will be the people who will suffer.
Although Han Du did not have the responsibility to defend Liyang County, he did not want to see the people suffer such a disaster.
Li Jizu couldn't answer, but he himself was not afraid of life and death. The reason why he wanted to escort Han Du away was for Han Du's safety.
"Li Jizu."
"The general is here." After hearing Han Du's order, Li Jizu immediately bowed in response.
After Han Du thought carefully for a few seconds, he made up his mind and immediately said: "Send people to block the door of the prison, then gather all the soldiers and put on steel armor. Pan Fu doesn't want to fight with us.
A handful? Then we’ll fight him."
The manpower on hand is not enough to begin with. If he spreads out more people to guard the prison, he is simply seeking death. In this case, it is better to temporarily block the prison with things and trap everyone in the prison.
If you win, then you will naturally have the time to dig them out. If you lose, then someone will naturally dig them out.
As for whether someone will be suffocated to death, that's none of their business. Even if they die, it's their own fault.
"In addition, if the order goes down, everyone can use firearms anytime and anywhere."
"As ordered." Li Jizu agreed instantly and turned around without delay to go out to prepare.
Although the soldiers carry revolvers, they are prohibited from using them by military orders on weekdays. In Han Du's view, the revolvers are too powerful, and using them to deal with some thieves is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. To deal with this,
For such a person, steel swords and steel armor are enough.
The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit private ownership of swords, guns, bows and arrows, but only prohibited private possession of iron armor.
First of all, it is too easy for the people to get these things. Even if the court wants to ban it, it cannot. Take knives as an example. The people can just find a blacksmith who can make a hoe.
Bring me a long knife. The difference may just be the sharpness of the long knife and the starting price that the person who wants the knife can pay.
The spear is even simpler, just make a spear head and go to the forest to get a straight piece of wood to mount it on.
There is no way to ban bows and arrows. After all, the most famous wooden bow is the mulberry bow. As the name suggests, this thing is actually a bow made of mulberry wood. And where is Jiangnan? A place rich in silk. There are mulberry forests in this place.
, as far as the eye can see. People want to make bows and arrows, so they just get a piece of mulberry wood, dry it in the shade and tie it with a hemp rope to make a strong bow. How can the court ban it?
What's more, even if ordinary farmers have no use for things like swords, guns, bows and arrows, what about the hunters? They rely on these things to survive. If these things are banned, wouldn't it mean that they have no way to survive?
The thing that the Ming Dynasty really prohibited people from owning was actually iron armor. Possessing iron armor privately was a serious crime, enough to kill everyone. Because the power of iron armor is much greater than ordinary people imagine, a strong man who does not wear iron armor may only be able to fight against an enemy.
One, but if you let him wear iron armor, he can fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred.
Don't think about using bows and arrows to shoot people in armor as moving targets, or even think about shooting arrows through the gaps in the armor and killing them with one arrow. The gaps in the armor are so small, let alone ordinary people, even if they are
Even a sharpshooter would have a hard time doing it.
Besides, everyone else is wearing iron armor, so why would they rush over to you without a bow and arrow? According to the equipment standards of Wei soldiers, in addition to wearing iron armor, a soldier must also carry
A stiff bow with fifty arrows, a long sword and a short sword.
This was the case during the Warring States Period, let alone the Ming Dynasty?
The soldiers of Shanzi Camp were even more like this. However, Han Du replaced their heavy iron armor with steel armor that was lighter and had higher defensive power. He did not let them carry bows and arrows, but replaced them with
Revolver and bullets.
Shanziying stipulates that a soldier must carry at least one hundred bullets.
Of course, every soldier loves melee weapons such as revolvers and bullets. They don't know how to carry only a hundred, but more than a hundred, and some even
It will be brought to around 200.
Li Jizu had just gathered his soldiers in the county government office when he heard shouts of beating and killing coming from the street outside the county government office.
"Impossible, how could they come so fast?" The captain who reported the situation to Han Du suddenly roared loudly, turned around and apologized to Han Du: "After learning about Pan Fu's intentions, the general rushed back to report to Han Du.
Lord Marquis reported that they can’t be following a certain general, and they can’t enter the city so quickly.”
At this moment, a soldier guarding the government office hurriedly ran in and reported: "The Marquis is not good, someone is coming to kill the county government office."
Han Du's heart suddenly sank and he immediately asked: "How many people are there?"
"Dozens of people." The soldier replied without hesitation.
Han Du was startled when he heard that there were only dozens of people. He instantly realized that these few people were definitely not the ones Pan Fu had linked up with. They were probably the landlords and gentry in the county. Seeing that he had arrested their family head, he overestimated his capabilities.
He wants to rob prison and save people.
Just as Han Du was thinking clearly, those people had already rushed in from the county government gate.
At first, a young man strode forward with a long knife in his hand. The moment he saw Han Du, he immediately pointed at Han Du and shouted: "Guan Guan, please let my father go quickly!"
Hearing this man's roar, Han Du immediately realized that he had guessed correctly. These people were actually the children of the wealthy gentry in the county, who came to rob the prison and save people.
One sheep is also slaughtered, and two sheep are killed. Since you have bumped into each other, you will be rude.
Han Du was furious. He raised his hand and suddenly waved it down, shouting: "Attack the county government, you are guilty of conspiracy, kill!"
Li Jizu smiled ferociously, immediately drew out his long sword and said sternly: "Everyone, wear armor!"
The soldier instantly pulled down his visor, drew out his long sword and struck towards the opposite side.
At this time, those people discovered that all of these people were wearing iron armor. Although they had never seen how terrifying the power of iron armor was, they had heard of it. It was a one-sided massacre.
In an instant, the people brought by Jiang Yue panicked. The people in front wanted to retreat, but the people behind didn't know why, but they were thinking about the reward and wanted to rush forward. The formation was suddenly in chaos!
However, Li Jizu would not be polite to them. While they were in a panic, he led all the soldiers and rushed directly into the crowd like an arrow, slashing and killing them left and right.
