"Everyone, please be patient!" Luo Longyun said:

"Everyone, listen to me. Although Hailing is a town, it is more difficult to capture than Chongming County. There is the base of Chongming Navy. There is a garrison battalion and five battalions of navy garrison. We went there,

If we can defeat them in one go, it will be easy to capture them. But if we cannot defeat them, we will be completely destroyed. It is not a pity for us to die, but what will happen to our families?"

Everyone was silent.

"Brother Luo, what do you think we should do?" Ma Desan asked:

"Being trapped here is also death, and attacking Hailing is also death. Can we only die and there is no way for us to survive?"

When Luo Longyun saw this, he loudly said: "Brother foremen, do you believe me, Mr. Luo?"

"What are you talking about whether you believe it or not at this time? Brother Luo, you and I are already on the same line. If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly. This is related to tens of thousands of lives!" Ma De was anxious.

You have to stomp your feet and shake your hands.

"Yes, it's time now. If you have any ideas, please tell me as soon as possible."

"..."

Everyone was at a loss, hoping that Luo Longyun could point out a clear path for everyone to try.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Luo Longyun nodded and said loudly: "To be honest with you guys, Mr. Luo used to do business by robbing families and doing business without capital. He only quit because he begged his mother-in-law."

After what he said, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized. Seeing the neatness with which this guy killed the officers and soldiers, they all thought, it turned out that this guy was a bandit?

However, the current situation of these people is even worse than that of bandits. They are already rebels.

"Long Yun, my former eldest brother, Yi Bo Yuntian, was also born into a poor man with mud legs. His favorite thing was to rob the rich and give to the poor. He had thousands of elite soldiers under his command, with strong men and horses. Please give me one to two days, and I will go find me.

Big brother, please tell me and ask him to bring someone across the river and lead us to work together."

"Who is your elder brother?"

"My eldest brother is known as the Jianghu River." Luo Longyun raised his head proudly, "As long as you give me at most two days, I can persuade my eldest brother to cross the river to help us."

Who is Hong Bantian?

It turns out that Hong Asi's reputation spread far and wide in Jiangxi, Ganzhou and western Hunan. However, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his power could not reach him, and few people knew about him.

What's more, in Chongmingshazhou, where information is limited and ignorant, it is reasonable to not know Hong Bantian's name.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

"Okay, the flood will last for half a day. We have to believe Brother Luo. He is also risking his life and will not fool us." Ma Desan said loudly:

"Anyway, it's now like this. If you don't do it, you will be dead. If we do it, wait two days and you have to really find reinforcements!"

"Of course, I, Luo Longyun, swear on the honor of my ancestors." Luo Longyun was overjoyed when he saw that the plan was half successful. He patted his chest and said:

"But don't be idle these two days. There is a large amount of food in Cao Dongqing's mansion. Let's share it with him first. Everyone will eat well. Then we will cut bamboos into spears and build earth into walls to prepare for war.

The preparations must be made in two to three days. Those officers and soldiers will also come, so we have to be ready."

"Okay, we will take care of these things, you can go find reinforcements without worry!" Ma Desan expressed his position on the spot, and everyone silently nodded in agreement.

Now, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse.

Smoke has finally started to rise from the Chongming Baykou Salt Field for several days, but although all men, women, old and young have had enough to eat, there is no trace of joy on their faces. The uncertain future makes them uneasy.

Under the arrangements of Ma Desan and several foremen, both young and old in the field went into battle together, cutting bamboo into guns and building earth into walls, working hard day and night.

Not to mention, the strength of fifty or sixty thousand people working hard is huge. After a day and a night, a simple version of the earth city wall was miraculously erected in the Haiwankou Salt Field.

…

In Zhongxing Town, Chongming County, the former Magistrate's Yamen is now the official residence of Zheng Daoming, the fifth deputy chairman. Because the front half of the Governor's Yamen is still under construction, it is still an important place for the Yamen's offices.

He looked at several salt merchants running towards him, their clothes in tatters and covered in blood, and his scalp was about to explode.

"What are you talking about? The saltmen at Hailing Baykou Salt Field rebelled? How is that possible? Where are Cao Dongqing and his dozens of soldiers?"

"Sir, General Manager Cao was killed by those salt-legged men, and all the soldiers were also killed." A salt merchant cried.

After Zheng Daoming heard this, his vision turned black and he almost fainted.

The Haiwankou Salt Field is one of the three major salt fields in Chongming, and it is the largest. If there is a problem there, how should we report it to the newly established Government Affairs Committee of the Autonomous Region?

As the fifth deputy chairman of the newly established Chongming Autonomous Region Government Affairs Committee, one of the government affairs he was in charge of happened to be the salt administration.

The current Governor's Yamen is divided into various yamen, and the officials have not yet been fully recruited. Chairman Zheng Kun and deputy chairman Mao Xin have gone to schools in major cities in Shanghai and Hangzhou to recruit officials.

The people who are really in charge of the Chongming Yamen now are the officials from the original Chongming County Yamen.

Zheng Daoming knew in his heart that if these salt riots could not be quelled in time, the first of three things the Governor would do when he took office would be to cut off his head and use it as a chamber pot.

Damn it, Zheng Daoming could guess why the salt workers rebelled. He shouldn't have done it, he shouldn't have coveted the little money and grain that was used to subsidize the salt workers, and now disaster was coming.

"Quickly, hurry up and invite the military sect and the others to come over for discussion. By the way, invite the lieutenants as well. Invite them all to the county government office for a banquet!" Zheng Daoming yelled a little lost his temper.

Before the matter gets too big, it is best to put out the flames of these bastards as soon as possible and block all news.

Thinking of how much money he would have to spend to silence some people, Zheng Daoming felt a burning pain in his chest. Now the yamen was completely unable to make ends meet, and this time it would definitely be a huge loss.

…

In a mountain forest a few kilometers away from the Haiwankou Saltworks, Hong Asi and several of his confidants were lying on the ground bored, chewing grass roots, and recalling some of the feeling of being bandits in their minds.

In those years when I first became a bandit, I felt free and at ease, but starting a business was difficult, precarious, and the work of having my head tied to my belt was nothing compared to what I did later when I became stronger.

But it seems that now I have to start a new business and pretend to be a bandit.

"General...General..." An old subordinate came running panting.

"What are you calling me, General?" Hong Asi sat up in excitement, "If you call me wrong again, I'll have your eggs cut off and fed to the dogs."

The old subordinate who was running out of breath was a little confused. In the past, Hong Asi liked his subordinates to call him general and hated it when people called him boss, but now it's the other way around and he hasn't gotten used to it yet.
