Chapter 712

Ma Desan stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to all the people around him, crying: "Ma would like to thank all the fellow villagers and co-workers. Everyone is responsible for the work. I will go to the government office and surrender. Just say that everything here is the same."

I did it alone and it has nothing to do with the big guys. It’s just that I have to ask you to take care of my little boy."

Of course there was life or death in this trip, so he had to make some arrangements for his son.

"Brother Ma, do you really think that the government is a fool, or do you really think that you have the courage to be unstoppable? There are dozens of soldiers lying here, all with weapons. If you say that you did it alone, who will believe it?"

! When you go, you are simply trapped in a trap, and everyone is still involved!" A voice sounded in the crowd.

"Yes, Brother Luo is right!"

"Brother Luo is right, Brother Ma, we have to think about this matter again!"

"..."

The crowd began to talk a lot.

"Otherwise, let's escape! Just let the officers and soldiers not find us!" Someone suggested.

"How is this possible?" Yanding, named Luo, retorted:

"We are here to take care of our families, support the old and the young. Besides, where are so many people going at once? Where can they escape? Moreover, checkpoints are set up at each ferry crossing in Chongming, Pudong and Puxi, just to

Prevent saltmen like us from escaping."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Someone snorted angrily: "It's not just running away, why should we just wait here and let the officers and soldiers catch us?"

"..."

"There is a way. I wonder if you would dare?" The voice that had previously opposed Ma Desan's surrender rang out again.

"Brother Luo, please come out and speak. If you have any good ideas, please tell everyone. Now we are out of control!" Ma Desan stood up and clasped his fists.

A man jumped out of the crowd in response. He was wearing clothes that were no different from those of Yanding, but he was much stronger than them, and his face was smoother. It was obvious that he had not been here long.

"It's him, Brother Luo!"

"Luo Longyun, didn't he just come to the salt field not long ago? What can he do?" "..."

There were low murmurs in the crowd.

This person was very active during the entire incident. He was very brave when killing the soldiers in charge of the salt field. No fewer than six or seven soldiers died in his hands. One look at the way he started, it was clear that he was a drill.

Family son.

"Dear fellow citizens!" Luo Longyun said loudly:

"I, Luo, came here not long ago, less than a month old, but everything here has made me unable to bear it. Not only do I have enough food and clothing, but I don't even have to ask after this disaster."

Just ask, not only are we left to fend for ourselves, but we are also required to starve ourselves to dry the salt and earn money for them. If this continues, everyone will either starve to death or die of exhaustion. Our own lives will not be saved, and we will be implicated.

My whole family."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what to do?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted impatiently.

"Yes, come up with a good idea quickly!"

"..."

Everyone is confused and anxious.

"What should we do?" Luo Longyun laughed and said, "Since the government doesn't treat us as human beings, then let's rebel. From now on, we can work on this salt farm ourselves and have enough food and clothing!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence all around, and everyone was thinking about the weight of these words.

Rebellion, since ancient times, has been a serious crime that will kill the nine tribes.

"Luo Longyun, what are you thinking about? Do you want to send everyone to their death?"

"..."

Facing the questioning, Luo Longyun sneered, pointed at Cao Dongqing and a group of soldiers lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, everyone thinks that what we are doing now is nothing. If we kill these dog officials, we are already rebelling. Do you think that the government offices will keep the mirror high and open up the net? Now we have to do it.

You have to do it whether you do it or not. Otherwise, everyone should go home and clean their necks and wait for the government to chop them off! I, Luo Longyun, am not someone who will be slaughtered by others."

After saying that, he reached out and picked up a red cherry spear from the ground, and raised it high, "If you go against it, there may be a way to survive, but if you don't, it will be a dead end. You guys just have to figure it out!"

Foreman Ma Desan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then walked to Luo Longyun, picked up a long knife, raised his arms and shouted: "Workers, I have rebelled!"

And his skinny son also followed him, holding up a red cherry spear that was longer than him in both hands, and stood behind his father.

Foreman Ma Desan usually has a high prestige and has considerable appeal among the salt workers. There began to be a commotion in the crowd. Gradually, more and more people came out and gathered in front of the two men.

"Workers and fellow villagers, let's go to the salt farm's general office, kill the remaining dog officials, and get some food to fill our bellies first."

Luo Longyun shouted, and thousands of young men roared and rushed towards the official office of the Wankou Salt Field.

On that day, there was a chaos in the Haiwankou Saltworks. The government offices, officials and soldiers stationed here were hacked to death, and the grain and finances in the government offices and the general manager's office were wiped out.

At night, in front of the official office of the Haiwankou Salt Field, everyone set up a stove and lit a fire, washed rice, cooked vegetables and roasted meat. After all, everyone had a full meal first. Even if they were about to die, they could not go hungry.

In the yamen, several foremen of the salt industry gathered together and stayed up late at night talking.

Now that the government offices have been bloodbathed, they have embarked on a path of no return, but everyone is at a loss of what to do next.

There are tens of thousands of people in Chongming Baykou Salt Field, and there are nearly 10,000 strong saltmen alone. But now they only have hundreds of spears and knives that they just seized, as well as dozens of rusty blunderbuss and shotguns.

.

Where is the way out?

Everyone turned their attention to Luo Longyun, who was the most enthusiastic.

"Brother foremen!" Luo Longyun stood up, "We want to run away now.

Those who cannot escape are surrounded by either the Yangtze River or the sea. Not to mention the lack of ships and food, even our families cannot escape with us. We can only stick here and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers."

"Stick here? That's easy for you to say!" shouted a saltworks foreman, "From our saltworks to Hailing Town, it takes up to half a day on horseback to get to Zhongxing Town, the county seat. It only takes one day. Although the dog officers and soldiers here are

We killed them all, but many salt merchants escaped. It will take less than two days for the government to know what happened here. When a large number of officers and soldiers come to kill them, what can we do to resist them?"

"That's right, we can't just sit here and wait for death. Instead, we should take advantage of the fact that the government hasn't made any preparations. We should attack and seize the government office in Hailing Town first, open a warehouse to store grain, and then we can capture it when we have weapons and grain.
