Chapter 1601 Natural arms

"Competition for mines?"

After hearing the reply from the owner of the tea stall, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help blurting out the first reaction in his mind was the struggle for mines in Yiwu.

"Oh, my lord has also heard about our struggle for mines in Yiwu?!" The tea stall owner opened his mouth in surprise.

"I heard a little bit." Zhu Pingan nodded.

"It's really confirmed by the adults. The shouting and killing down here is really a battle for mines." The tea stall owner said admiringly.

"It's really a mine dispute, I wonder if I can trouble the boss to explain in detail?" Zhu Pingan asked for advice, cupping his hands.

"This is a little honor. It's just that the little one hasn't read a book, and maybe there's no order in what he said, and he said what he thought of."

The owner of the tea stall scratched his head, and said with a look of embarrassment.

"Hehe, it's okay, boss, just say whatever comes to your mind." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"The little one has the audacity to talk about our mine dispute in Yiwu. Speaking of which, the small family is also an outsider, not a local clan member in Yiwu. Otherwise, the small family would not have time to set up a tea stall next to the official road. You also have to participate in the mine competition below, otherwise the clan will not tolerate clansmen who don't work hard."

The owner of the tea stall cleared his throat and said to Zhu Pingan and others.

"That's true. Our family rules also stipulate that if there is a fight involving the clan, all young and strong men of the same clan must participate. If you don't participate, you will be expelled from the clan, kicked out of the genealogy, and can no longer offer sacrifices." Liu After Da Dao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said.

Zhu Ping'an nodded silently. The feudal society was the heyday of the clan system. There was a saying that "state power does not come down to the county, but the clan under the county, and the clan is self-governing. Self-government depends on ethics, and ethics creates squires."

"Our Yiwu has many mountains and little land, and life is difficult for peasants. Thanks to God's blessing, there are many mines in the mountains, such as silver mines, tin mines, copper mines, and iron mines. Yiwu people rely on mining to supplement their homes. This Where there are mines, there are fights. Yiwu locals fight among clans, and Yiwu people fight with Yongkang people. He said he discovered it first, he said that the mine was within the range of their clan, he said that the mine was close to them, and the public said that the public is right. It's reasonable to say that everyone doesn't want to give in, and they can't convince anyone. In the end, whoever grabs whoever gets it. This kind of fight is like a common occurrence. Weapon fighting is also common, and casualties are also common. Poor young man, The old man, the aunt and the daughter-in-law, just died like that."

The owner of the tea stall thought of the scene of the fallen people after the fight, couldn't help sighing, and said slowly.

"The following fight has lasted for two months, and it is the largest in recent years. The source of this fight is a silver mine in Beilei. Beilei is a small town in Yiwu, not far below. Far away, Yongkang people found a silver mine in Beilei Barren Mountain. Because Beilei was in Yiwu, in order to seize this silver mine, Yongkang people gathered more than a thousand people to cross the border to Beilei to occupy this silver mine. Yiwu If people know it, they will definitely not do it. This silver mine is in our Yiwu, and it belongs to us. What qualifications and shame do you Yongkang people have to occupy the mine. The big family of Bei Lei, Chen Dacheng and Chen Daguan, called and led people from the same clan to protect the mine But there are so many people in Yongkang. The people of Yongkang said that what they discovered first was theirs. They took advantage of the large number of people to forcibly occupy the mine. Chen Daguan and the others suffered a loss and were beaten to death. Several ethnic groups in Yiwu intermarried Most of them are relatives. People from Yiwu Chi'an, Maodian and other places also actively participated in helping Chen Daguan and Belei people to protect the mine after hearing that Chen Daguan and Beilei people suffered a loss. , fighting with Yongkang people. This fight has lasted for two months, and we Yiwu people are getting more and more dominant."

The tea stall owner continued.

"It turned out to be a silver mine, no wonder there is such a big battle." Liu Dadao and others suddenly realized when they heard the words.

"Thank you boss for clarifying the confusion. Let's go ahead and see the mine dispute in Yiwu." Zhu Pingan thanked the tea stall owner, and then said to Liu Dadao and others.

"My lord, you have to be careful not to get too close, because once a fight starts, it will only recognize the clan, and if it is not my clan, it will be a sworn enemy." The tea stall owner reminded Zhu Pingan and the others worriedly.

"Thank you, boss, for reminding us. We are on the top, looking from a distance, we won't get too close." Zhu Ping'an thanked the tea stall owner again.

"That's right, just look at it from afar." The owner of the tea stall nodded vigorously.

"Boss, please save the food for us, we will come back to eat." Liu Dadao and others reminded.

"Military men, don't worry." The owner of the tea stall patted his chest, "When you come back, it will still be hot."

Zhu Pingan, under the protection of Liu Dadao and others, walked to the front of the slope, and saw the shocking fighting below from a distance.

The distance is still very far, and it is not very clear, but it is still shocking. The dense crowd, there are as many as three or four thousand people, like a small battle, the crowd rushes to and fro, and the shouts of killing are earth-shattering.

"Move forward." Zhu Pingan looked at the downhill land. There is an undulating highland more than a hundred meters ahead. Where can I see it more clearly? At the same time, this highland is condescending, and there is still a long distance from the fighting below, which is safe enough .

So, Zhu Pingan took Liu Dadao and others downhill slowly, and came to the high ground to observe the fighting below.

The closer the distance, the clearer the sight, and the more shocking it is.

There are more than 3,000 people, including men, women, and children. Most of them have red strings tied to their arms. They must be from Yiwu. No matter whether they are old or young, or aunts and sisters-in-law, they are all fierce and fierce. They hold knives, forks, sticks, kitchen knives and axes in their hands. , hoes, sickles and other agricultural tools, and many red-tasseled guns and self-made weapons, with fierce eyes, like a tiger descending a mountain, roaring fiercely, rushing towards the Yongkang people without fear of death, slashing and killing, killing all directions

Some people were stabbed by long spears, sprayed blood, and rushed to Yongkang people with long spears, and died together with them.

Some had their legs cut off and were dragged out of the field by talents of the same race, and then climbed into the battlefield again as if they were dead.

Some fathers were hacked to death by Yongkang people. The elder brother picked up the **** in his father's hand without saying a word, rushed in, beat a Yongkang person to death, and was stabbed to death by more Yongkang people. The younger brother wiped his tears. Taking the **** from his elder brother, he also rushed in without hesitation, not knowing what death was.

Looking at the scene, the Yiwu people have an absolute advantage, and the Yongkang people are retreating steadily, showing signs of defeat.

Liu Dadao opened his mouth like a box, gasping for air one after another, unable to utter a word in shock.

Zhu Ping'an is the same, standing on the high slope, speechless for a long time, and sighing.

This scene will never be forgotten!

He is angry with the enemy, and he is used to being aggressive and contemptuous. In his two lives, he has never seen such a brave and fearless person! To use a modern catchphrase is: Horror!

No wonder Qi Jiguang made up his mind to recruit soldiers in Yiwu when he saw the Yiwu people fighting with weapons in the future history!

This is a natural unit!
