    Riots broke out at Tongji Iron Mine, the second largest iron ore mine in Liaoning County.  ¡÷, The news brought by Cao Tianci made Gao Yuan and Sun Xiao a little dumbfounded for the first time. Just now, the two of them were talking about possible problems in the mining areas of the three counties of Liaodong. They never expected that it would break out in the blink of an eye.  He glanced at it and suppressed the shock in his heart, "What is the situation now?" Cao Tianci swallowed, "I have just received the news. I am afraid that Governor Mao has also received the news by this time. Tongji Iron Mine is in Liaoning  The second largest iron mine in the county has more than 10,000 miners. There are three mines in the mining area. Most of the miners are Yi and indigenous people. " Gao Yuan took a breath, "More than 10,000 people participated in the riot?  "The situation is not very clear yet. I only know that the situation there is out of control, and the miners have controlled all the local officials and managers of the mining area." Cao Tianci shook his head and said, "We have to wait for subsequent reports on the specific situation."  " Gao Yuan sat down slowly, picked up the cold tea on the table, took a slow sip, and looked at Sun Xiao: "Sun Xiao, tell me, is this a premeditated riot or a temporary one?  "What's the intention?" Sun Xiao was stunned, but he immediately responded and thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say. It depends on the reaction of these rioting miners. It will be more troublesome if their actions are later proven to be premeditated.  , If it¡¯s a temporary decision, it¡¯s easy to say.¡± Gao Yuan nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the news and see what Mao Dewang says. Tianci, go and ask Yang Dasha to come in.¡± ¡°I understand!¡±  At the same time as he received the news, Mao Dewang also received the news in the county governor's house. He was suddenly sweating like rain. All the officials in the county governor's house rushed over in panic one after another. They were all unruly. Tens of thousands of miners rioted.  It's no small thing.  And it was while the king was on patrol. This was like a stab in Mao Dewang's heart. He had just received a commendation from the king during the day, and something like this happened in the blink of an eye. This was not for the king.  A loud slap on the face?  "Shen Ming, you are the police chief of Liaoning County and are responsible for the security work of the entire county. Didn't you hear about such a big thing happening in Tongji Mine? You are derelict in your duties!" He looked at Shen Ming fiercely.  , Mao Dewang gritted his teeth and said.  Shen Ming looked sad.  After such a big thing happened, he, the person responsible for the security of the county, naturally cannot escape responsibility. "Sheriff, our police station in Tongji Mine has no news at all. I'm afraid, it's more likely to be bad than good."  "We only have less than fifty people here. What can they do with this riot of tens of thousands of people?" "Isn't there any warning beforehand?" Mao Dewang said.  Trembling, "With tens of thousands of people rioting together, can it be accomplished in a hurry?" "Sir, the situation is unclear now. We first need to find out the specific situation there. By the way, Zhu, the boss of Tongji Mine,  Isn't Da still in Helin City? Find him immediately, or he knows better." "Shen Ming, go and find Zhu Da immediately," Mao Dewang shouted.  "Yes, I'll do it right away." Shen Ming almost ran out.  "Governor, there can be no chaos now. Although there are tens of thousands of people participating, they are all miners after all, a group of rabble. I will immediately mobilize troops to quell the riot. As long as the riot is quelled in the shortest possible time without causing a big impact,  It's easier for the governor to talk to the king," Feng Dong said in a low voice.  "How many people do you have? It's only three thousand, and they are stationed in various places. They are miners, not unarmed farmers. Don't forget, there is gunpowder in the mines." Mao Dewang's voice was still trembling.  "But now, we can't do nothing, right?" Feng Dong said.  "Feng Dong, you immediately assemble the garrison troops in the city. I, I will go see the king now." Mao Dewang slumped down on the chair like a deflated ball. "It is up to the king to decide how to deal with it." Lobby  There was a dead silence inside. The king was patrolling, but such a big thing happened in Liaoning County. Everyone could not help but understand that everyone's future was bleak.  After sitting for a moment, Mao Dewang calmed down and said, "You all should stay at your posts and do your job well. News must be blocked in the city to prevent the Tongji Mine riot from leaking out and causing panic in Helin City.  "Yes, Lord Sheriff." "Perhaps this is the last time I issue an order as a Sheriff." Mao Dewang stood up in a panic, "I take the first responsibility for this incident." Everyone was silent.  Without saying a word, he watched Mao Dewang staggering out.  ??The residence far away is brightly lit,The atmosphere was a bit tense, and the Guards strengthened their vigilance in the shortest possible time, with fully armed soldiers standing ready.  "Your Majesty, the Guards have made all preparations. The general has sent Pegasus to Liaoxi County. Where should the thousand cavalrymen from Meihua who escorted Mr. Jiang back to Dayan Lake be now? With their pace, up to four  We can get here in five days," Yang Dasha said with a serious look on his face.  "Well." Gao Yuan looked at the lights in front of him in a daze, "Tianci, it's almost dawn, there is no news from Tongji Mine yet?" "Your Majesty, there is no latest news yet." Cao Tianci said.  He Weiyuan hurried over, "Your Majesty, Mao Dewang wants to see you." "Let him come in." Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.  Mao Dewang walked in with a pale face, knelt down in front of Gao Yuan with a bang, wordlessly took off the official hat on his head, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Mao Dewang has come to plead guilty." "Governor Mao  "You haven't been dismissed yet." Gao Yuan glanced at Mao Dewang and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Such a big thing happened at Tongji Mine. You are the governor of a county."  , I don¡¯t believe you don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on here.¡± Mao Dewang shuddered slightly, straightened up, picked up the official hat on the ground with both hands, and put it on his head.  "Your Majesty, the riot in Tongji Mine is probably related to the miners' meager income and excessive exploitation by the mine owners. As far as I know, most of the miners used in the mine are local indigenous people and foreign barbarians." With a bang, Gao Yuan  He slapped his hand on the table and said, "Aren't the local natives people of the Han Dynasty? Are those Yi tribes beyond the reach of the light of my Han Dynasty? Since you knew about this, why didn't you intervene?" "Your Majesty, Tongji Mine  The taxes paid every year have always ranked first among similar industries. Moreover, they usually strongly support and invest a lot in the construction of the county. And in the past few years, it has been safe and sound. I will do whatever I can" "So  You just turned a blind eye." Gao Yuan sighed.  "Anyway, the Tongji mine is also deep in the mountains and forests, with no information. In addition, those people are illiterate and don't know our laws. You just let the mine owner do whatever he wants. Fish and meat miners? Eat their flesh and drink their blood?"  Mao Dewang trembled all over, lowered his head and was speechless.  "Your Majesty, there is news from Tongji Mine." An official strode in.  "Speak quickly." Gao Yuan shouted sharply.  "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that all the managers of Tongji Mine have been detained, and all the police officers at the mine have also fallen into the hands of the miners. Because of the mining of iron ore, these miners have no shortage of weapons.  What's even more worrying is that there are still hundreds of kilograms of explosives stored in the mine." The intelligence officer who came in said loudly: "Now that Tongji City has closed its gates, the county magistrate mobilized all the people in the city to go to the city to prepare for defense.  He Lin asked for help. "" Are the rioting miners preparing to attack Tongji County? " "Not yet. According to the news from our intelligence personnel, there is no sign of the rioters coming out so far, but the mood of the tens of thousands of miners is relatively high.  "Excited." "Your Majesty, these miners are tough people, rough and ignorant of the rules. Once someone incites them, the consequences will be disastrous. Tongji has no garrison at all, and He Lin is also short of troops. Please send troops immediately to go to peace."  If these miners leave the mining area and enter Tongji City, it will most likely cause a disaster," Mao Dewang said with a trembling voice.  "Humph, isn't it a little late for you to know this now?" Gao Yuan sneered.  "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. The seeds of disaster have been planted long ago, but they just happened to break out today. Mao Dewang, I have said more than once that all people living on my Han land, regardless of race, should  Treat everyone equally, think about it for yourself, have you implemented the Han law seriously? If you can take it seriously, why are you so hasty today?  They may also be mobilized. The only available troops now are our three thousand guards who can rush to Tongji as quickly as possible. If these mobs leave the mining area and enter Tongji County, it may cause trouble.  It will be a big disaster." Sun Xiao said softly from the side.  "Your Majesty, please first ask Commander Yang to lead his troops to Tongji and stop these mobs first." Cao Tianci also said.  Gao Yuan raised his head, looked at the people in the room, and said slowly: "Send the order, I want to go to Tongji City in person." "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Your Majesty, how can you enter with your body of thousands of gold?"  Dangerous place?" Mao Dewang was shocked and raised his head.  "In danger?" Gao Yuan sneered: "I have never been afraid before the enemy's thousands of troops. Is it possible that I will still be timid in front of my own people now? Dasha, prepare your horses, let's go  ?Economy.  Mao Dewang, you come too.  "Sun Xiao, Cao Tianci and the others looked at each other and stopped talking. When it was daylight, three thousand Guards troops were fully armed and advanced rapidly towards Tongji. At the same time, a letter was sent from He  Lin Cheng flew to Liaoxi County and to Jicheng Zhengshi Hall (To be continued)
