Chapter 69 Helping the field, killing the students crying and shouting to go home!

   It was the official school of Xichang who fired the shells.

Unlike the East Factory, the West Factory was directly supervised by Zhang Gui, so Zhang Gui ordered a large number of light artillery and various explosive firearms for the West Factory from the Ordnance Department from the very beginning, and asked the West Factory to use military combat methods to handle the case. That is to push the cannon to handle the case at any time.

  Even the official schools recruited into Xichang are regular military schools such as frontier army and Beijing camp with actual combat experience.

  After all, Zhang Gui’s goal is to ask Xichang to collect protection fees from all over the world with arms in the future. Without strong arms, naturally he cannot guarantee the smooth collection of protection fees.

  As for the funds required for the procurement of military supplies, it is not a problem for the West Factory at present.

  Because the Xichang had just confiscated Shanxi merchants not long ago and received millions of taels of silver, it is still the time when the money is rich and powerful.

   What's more, Xichang is still investing in its own right now. In order to lay out information lines, it has opened shops, restaurants, and inns to generate income.

Therefore, the West Factory has no financial pressure yet, and it is even so rich that it directly invests in the Ordnance Department. Direct investment in the establishment of a school for the children of Xichang in Xishan, specially training some orphans and children bought from the poor as a team of talents for Xichang to join in the management of various global affairs in the future.

These are naturally Zhang Gui's own ideas. He knows that he is powerless to change the bureaucratic scholar-bureaucrats who are deeply influenced by Cheng Zhu's Confucianism, so he simply finds another way, spending money to train orphans and poor children bought. Teach, he has the final say on everything, and no one can comment on it.

  As for these children, what should they do when they grow up?

  Undoubtedly, these children can only work under the name of Xichang when they grow up, and do things for Xichang.

  Turn back.

As soon as Huang Degong arrived in Suzhou, after seeing the Dongchang people being stopped by a large number of armed soldiers in Suzhou for arresting Li Sancai, he directly ordered the Xichang official school on his side to bombard these Suzhou scholars and shouted: "Dongchang The brothers from the factory are in trouble! But they, like us, came with a purpose, so the brothers from the west factory, we people from the west factory have to help the brothers from the east factory! Follow me to kill the enemy !"

   After Huang Degong finished speaking, he jumped from the boat to the shore first.

   "What Qianhu said is, anyway, even if you don't have a son, someone will kill you for paper money after you die, so what are you afraid of!"

The rest of the Xichang government school also jumped up vigorously, and quickly formed a square formation, with the shield holding the shield and drawing the sword, the firecracker holding the bullet that bit the paper shell, and the spearman holding the spear flat, and aimed at these Suzhou scholars. rushed over.

  Zhang Gui promised that the orphans adopted by Xichang would be distributed to the descendants of those who died in the Xichang war without heirs in the future, and paper money would be burned for them during festivals, which is very meaningful for the government schools of this era.

  People in this era believe in ghosts and gods. The real fear of death is that no one will sacrifice to them or burn paper money for them.

  That's why there is a saying that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest is to have no descendants.

   Zhang Gui’s promise made these officials and schools in Xichang relieve a lot of worries in the case of generous incentives, so they are all very brave and fearless.

   And these Suzhou scholars were already discouraged after being bombarded by light artillery from Xichang.

After all, these Suzhou scholars, apart from those who have the honor of being a student, are all village brave green skins hired by the gentry. It is okay to bully tenants, imperial servants, and even Dongchang, which are not part of the regular army, but they are about to encounter a regular situation. Don't know how to deal with it at all.

  The health workers who organized the township brave Qingpi to fight against the factory guards were the first to run.

  Because of the lack of exercise all year round, some students started to pant after running for a few steps, so they had to shout: "Sliding pole! Sliding pole! Quickly lift the sliding pole!"

boom!

boom!

boom!

   And when the professional Xichang firearmsmen started shooting at these Suzhou scholars, these Suzhou scholars became even more frightened after being shot down in a large area, and some directly knelt down and begged for mercy.

   "Brothers in Dongchang, get out of the way! Let me show you how to use cannons and phalanxes to handle the case! Advance in a team! Blockers, shoot and kill!"

Huang Degong was still shouting in his loud voice, and rushed to the front himself, holding the heavy bow he preferred to use, and deliberately selected students wearing square scarves and colorful clothes to shoot arrows. The student who had just sat on the pole was shot down by him, screamed, and cried loudly: "I want to go home! I want to go home! This is terrible! It's terrible! Woohoo!"

  Xu Xianchun and others from Dongchang Banner School were confused at first.

  They didn't expect that they could still handle cases like this?

"Damn, these Xichang people are not handling cases, they are going to fight the enemy! Cannons and firecrackers have come in handy, and they dare to charge when they see the opponent has firearms, and they even kill the timid people on their side to maintain military discipline!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun sighed, and because he was afraid of being robbed of his achievements by the West Factory, he refused to be outdone, and shouted: "Brothers in the East Factory! He is not afraid of death in the West Factory, and we are not cowards in the East Factory! Kill! Kill these rioters and capture the criminal Li Sancai alive!"

"yes!"

  So, these Dongchang Banner schools also rushed up.

Li Sancai also saw this scene on the boat here, saw the people from Xichang rushing ashore from the boat with the lanterns of Xichang, and killed the scholars and people in Suzhou retreating every day, so he hurriedly shouted: "Start the boat, hurry up!" sail!"

As he spoke, Li Sancai couldn't help cursing angrily: "This uncle Zhang Guo actually asked his Xichang to join in the fun. The key point is that his Xichang posture looks like a fierce general who is coming up to fight! Handling the case in the way of the enemy is not handling the case, it is rebellion! Damn! Very hateful!"

  Li Sancai cursed loudly out of composure, and then said after his boat sailed away, "Light it up!"

In order to avoid being arrested by the imperial court, Li Sancai not only asked the Donglin scholars who admired him to organize a group of Suzhou scholars to prevent the imperial court from arresting him, but also arranged many small boats full of kerosene near the building where he lived. Follow, in order to create confusion when the court officials are likely to arrest him, so as to facilitate his escape.

   "Master! This is the bustling area of ​​Gusu, surrounded by civilian boats, and a fire may endanger the people on the river."

   An old servant said impatiently.

   "I can't control so much now, what is the death of a few people! As long as I can successfully go to sea, the princes and princes in the future will pay this account to these imperial hawks!"

  Li Sancai shouted: "Light it up!"

"yes!"

  The old servant agreed and ordered the fire to be lit.

Not long after, when people from Xichang Huang Degong and Dongchang rushed over, a fire broke out around the building where Li Sancai was staying, burning the whole river brightly. Opening shops for the streets, and even putting their homes on boats directly, so many people's homes were on fire.

  Huang Degong of Xichang and the people of Dongchang could not help but stop, watching Li Sancai's building sail away.

"Hi!"

  Xu Xianchun couldn't help stamping his feet, and said angrily: "Let's go!"

  Xu Xianchun then left here with his Dongchang Banner School.

  The family member Zhou Neng, who was promoted by Zhang Gui to the West Factory to serve as the criminal hundred household officer, couldn't help asking Huang Degong: "Qianhu, what should we do in the West Factory?"

"The fire has to be brought under control! If you don't control it, you won't be able to get through! Take a team to the shore and follow the method you trained in our West Factory to remove the isolation belt and help the people put out the fire! The other team, follow me into the water Organize the people to separate the unburned ship!"

   Huang Degong ordered.

"yes!"

  Thus, under the timely rescue of Xichang, although most of the people in this era used wood and bamboo as walls, in the end, only three or five families and six or seven civilian boats were burned.

   After successfully escaping here, Li Sancai pushed open the window on the upper boat again, looked at the river, and smiled triumphantly: "From now on, I will be a seaman!"

As Li Sancai spoke, he saw that the government schools in Xichang were already busy with the people affected by the fire, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "What a despicable Uncle Guo, let him use such vicious methods in Xichang. Let the people of Suzhou begin to gradually think that I, Li San, are the ones who don’t care about the lives of the people, are they the factory guards who care about the lives of the people?!”

   "Damn it!"

  Li Sancai could not help but curse again.

   "How did the ship go north?"

  Li Sancai was cursing, when he realized that his boat was going north, he couldn't help shouting: "What's going on?! Come on!"

   Not long after, the old servant beside him was brought over by several servants holding knives.

  One of the servants named Li Gui cupped his hands and said, "My lord! Please forgive me for your rudeness! You'd better catch him without a fight."

  Li Sancai was shocked: "What do you mean?!"

   "Master, calm down! The main reason is that the people in Xichang gave too much!"

   Li Gui replied.
