Chapter 181 Dingxi Salt Farm
In the commanding house of Dingxi Salt Farm, a group of people are arguing fiercely.
Dingxi Salt Farm is a large salt farm in Gaoyou. The wall is not like the Baiju Farm. It is simply surrounded by a fence, but like the city wall, it is built with green bricks, and a trench is dug outside the wall. There is a central gate with a suspension bridge above it. Only when the suspension bridge is lowered can it pass.
The salt people working in Dingxi Salt Farm are more miserable than the salt people in Baiju Salt Farm. They are heavily guarded here, just like the military forbidden zone. If they work a little slower, they are served by whips. Every day when I enter through this door, I don't know if I can walk out.
The commander of the salt farm, Zhou Dezheng, nicknamed Zhou Bapi. In the past few years, he has peeled the salt people in the salt farm layer after layer, and the salt people hated it to the bone.
At this time, in the commander's office, figures from all sides of the salt field gathered, including Commander Zhou Dezheng, Si Cheng Li Xian, Guan Gou Zhao Fang, as well as Yanding leader Liu Sheng, and Mongolian garrison leader Halbala.
"We should take the initiative to recover the Baiju salt field and kill all the mob who came to provoke, as an example!" Halbala said with his fist clenched.
Although the people and horses of the brigade have been transferred, his men still have about 200 soldiers and a few promiscuous people. He has never paid attention to it. What he is worried about is that after the promiscuous people robbed the Baiju Salt Farm, if they run away, it will be difficult to find them.
"Brother Hal, our main task now is to guard the salt farm. If something happens, like the Baiju salt farm, is captured by the chaos, the court will definitely not let us go." Zhou Dezheng said politely.
The commander of the salt field is an official from the seventh grade, and Halbala is just a general from the eighth grade. However, Zhou Dezheng has always talked to him carefully. After all, the identity of the other party is Mongolian.
"Yes, that is, we must not take it lightly." Liu Sheng also said.
Liu Sheng was already very afraid of going out to suppress the bandits. He clearly knew that his group of salteds were just ruffian hooligans in the countryside. He caught a private salt dealer and squeezed out his oil and water. He was good at it. However, he was scared of being beaten. He regretted it to death. Last time What agreed to the insentice of Yin Lizheng of Xinghua County to besiege Furong Village.
Although the salt farm is in Xinghua, it does not belong to Xinghua. If there is something wrong with the salt farm, Xinghua County has to bear it, but it has money to make money, but Xinghua County can't get it. My immediate superior is the Taizhou Salt Inspection Department. No matter how up, it is the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department in Yangzhou. I can completely not listen to his orders. However, at that time, I was obsessed with it and wanted to make money. As a result, hundreds of people besieged a cottage and returned home. From then on, my vitality has been greatly damaged. Now, there are only a few left. It's just ten diced salt. He doesn't want to touch the nails again.
"Hmm, a bunch of cops!" Halbala said.
"Brother Hal, it's not that we don't want to, but that our current focus should be to do a good job in the defense of Dingxi to prevent the salt field from being occupied by the turbulent people." Si Cheng and Li Xian also said.
"Well, is our Dingxi salt farm comparable to Baiju salt farm? We have a thick wall, and there are trenches outside the wall, that is, the regular army is coming, and we have to think about it over and over again, let alone those rioters? We are hiding here, and they will never dare to come.
"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you can win every battle. We don't even know who attacked the Baiju Salt Farm. I heard that a few days ago, Gaoyou Prefecture sent people to encircle and suppress Qianhu Tanghe of the Red Turban Army in the killing port. As a result, they were killed and defeated. This attack Baiju Farm. Yes, will it be them?" Guan Gou Zhao Fang said slowly.
"Port of Murder? Soup and? I seem to have heard of this. It was surrounded and suppressed by Nassul, right? This Nassledin is just a brave and resourceless man. He doesn't pay attention to tactics at all. No wonder he will fail. Halbala said, "If it were me, I would have caught the soup alive."
He used to stay in a hundred-person team with Nasuladdin. Nasladdin was better than himself everywhere, which made Halbala jealous. Nasladdin had already mixed up with thousands of households. Up to now, he was only a hundred households. The brigade went out to suppress the uprising and led the remaining two hundred-person teams. Now, listen to It is said that Nasurating was defeated by Tanghe in the murder port, but he was secretly happy. In this way, he had to take people to defeat this group of promiscuous people. In this way, in contrast, of course, he showed his ability.
"Tomorrow, I will take people to the white pupe field."
"What about our guards in Dingxi Field?" It seems that this Halbala is stubborn, and Commander Zhou Dezheng asked.
"I left a hundred archers to defend the salt field and take the remaining 100 people." Halbala said.
One hundred archers? There should be a lot. It seems that this guy has made up his mind, and the others have to stop persuading him.
Zhou De is opening the window. Outside the window, it can be clearly seen that there are more than 20 sets of plates, each of which are burning flames. The white salt grains on the iron plate are becoming more and more obvious. This iron plate of salt is going to boil out again.
They are surrounded by salts who are patrolling. They are sparsely distributed everywhere. They are holding a variety of weapons, waist knives, long guns, iron bars, and leather whips. It is impossible to rely on them to guard the salt field. It is almost impossible for them to supervise the salt people to boil salt.
And the archers on each sentry are much more on duty. They stand on the high lookout made of bricks and wood and look around warily. The bows and arrows are placed behind them and can shoot arrows at any time. Although the comfortable life has made them a little greedy for enjoyment, since they heard about the Baiju Salt Farm, they immediately became nervous and have been closely watching the movement around them.
"I won't talk nonsense with you. I'll go there now. Before the evening, I can take back the Baiju Salt Farm." Halbala said.
"Well, be careful." Liu Sheng said.
Suddenly, a sentry archer shouted on it, "Arrayal, there is an enemy!"
Everyone's faces have changed. In this broad daylight, are they coming?
"It's better to come, so that I don't have to go out to find you." Halbala looked excited: "Let's go up and have a look."
Go up and have a look? The rest of the people looked helpless and hesitant. Especially Zhou Dezheng, who has a big belly and climbs the watchtower? He dare not. In order to see farther, the watchtower is a few feet higher than the wall. The lower half is a brick platform, but the upper half is made of wood. If you want to climb the watchtower, you have to climb the suspension ladder to go up.
Harbala quickly walked out of the government, climbed the suspension ladder, and went up the watchtower. He looked excitedly at the smoke and dust in the distance. Suddenly, his face changed.
What kind of pole is this? What kind of exile? This is clearly the regular army!
