I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 46 Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand

The county magistrate laughed:
"I see, it's gunpowder. Gunpowder, fire... what? What did you say?!"

The fireworks industry was already very developed during the Song Dynasty.
As a result, because the Mongols used it widely in the military field, the imperial court's control over gunpowder is now second only to pig iron.

He took a cart full of treasures and ran to the county government office to buy gunpowder.

This is no different from telling the county magistrate directly that you want to rebel.

as predicted,

A grim smile appeared on Zhu Chongba's face:
"The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky shall be established!"

"Observe the humanities to transform the world! The time has come to protect the human dignity of the people!"

"For the sake of God, take them down and save the people!"

Militia: "┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~!"

A group of people drew out their wooden swords with a swish and rushed towards the county officials while yelling.

The county magistrate and others' faces changed drastically.

"How dare you! You want to rebel!?"

The two county lieutenants and several yamen runners behind them had just drawn the long swords at their waists when the militiamen's long swords hit them in an instant.

"Rebellion? No! We want to liberate the people!"

Ding~!

A sound of metal clashing, different from the sound of wood, came from between the wooden sword and the iron knife.

The two county lieutenants' faces changed drastically.

"impossible!"

Isn't this a wooden sword? It's an iron sword wrapped in wood?
Zhu Chongba laughed loudly and shouted:
"Our weapons have been blessed by the gods. Even wooden swords can kill people without mercy! Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~!"

The militiamen, who were originally uneasy, were now as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They knocked down the iron knives of the county lieutenant and the yamen runners with a fierce blow.

The dietary supplements and high-intensity training during this period have made them as strong as elite soldiers.

On the other hand, the group of yamen runners and civil servants in the county government who were paid by the government were okay with abusing their power and bullying the common people, but they were no match for the specially trained elite soldiers.

After just one encounter, these officials who usually acted arrogantly were instantly controlled by the wooden swords.

County Magistrate Han, who was giving orders to his brother-in-law, was so frightened that he sat down on the ground at the gate of the courtyard.

Rebellion?!
He rolled and crawled out of the courtyard: "Call for help! Call for help! Another traitor is rebelling!"

The county magistrate and others were so angry at the sound of Han Xiancheng's shouting that they were about to burst into tears.

This fucking idiot! Can't you see that we are all under control?

If we accuse these vicious guys of treason, there's no chance they'll survive.

It's bad enough that this stupid teammate of Malegobi caused them to be blamed by the Mongols, but now he has even abandoned their safety.

At this time, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang's group of rebels, what they hated more was Han Xiancheng, the traitor.

The county magistrate smiled at Zhu Chongba with a flattering look on his face:

"Brave man, brave man! Harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth! It's just gunpowder, give it to us! Let's give it to you!"

The chief clerk, the county lieutenant, and the clerk looked at the county magistrate as if he were a mentally retarded person.

What are you bragging about? Where do we get the gunpowder?

The official system of the Yuan Dynasty was divided into central government and local government. The local government was further divided into the Xingzhongshu Province, the Wanhu Mansions of various routes, the Zongguan Mansions of various routes, scattered mansions, various states, and various counties.

Fengyang County is one of the lowest-level counties.

There were more than 50 civil servants in the county government, and they were not qualified to be equipped with firearms, let alone gunpowder.

The county magistrate glared at the group of idiots.
The most important task now is to stabilize this group of thugs. As long as we can get out of their hands, we can summon the yamen runners and take them down.

Although there were only dozens of yamen runners in the county government, each of them had several to a dozen hangers-on.

The hangers-on have no official position in the government and no job, and they rely on helping the government runners to earn extra money.

For example, when collecting taxes and grain, they helped the yamen runners lead the way and helped the yamen runners carry grain, etc.

At critical moments, the magistrate was able to gather this group of people as a militia to fight against peasant uprisings.

Small-scale peasant uprisings like Zhu Yuanzhang's were usually suppressed by the county magistrate who gathered a small group of hangers-on to form a small team.

In a large county like Fengyang, the magistrate was confident that he could easily gather thousands of hangers-on, and by then he would be able to easily wipe out the rebel group of just over twenty people.

Zhu Chongba did not seem to doubt the county magistrate's intentions, but smiled and said to him:

"Really? That's great. Our Lord God also told us to win people over with virtue. If the county magistrate can cooperate, that would be great, Tang He."

Tang He led a group of county officials toward the outside of the county government office.
At Zhu Yuanzhang's signal, two of the militiamen began digging a pit in front of the hall.

The two men took out stone picks and stone sledgehammers,
In no time, a large pit one meter square was dug under the plaque hanging high above the mirror.

Then the two of them buried the TNT blocks.

Then use redstone dust to start paving the path along which everyone will leave.

Redstone dust is not a product of modern games, and its properties are similar to those of a magnetic flux.

Each piece of redstone powder can automatically connect to the nearest redstone powder within one cubic meter, attracting each other to form a redstone circuit. Therefore, when laying the redstone circuit, there is no need to worry about uneven scattering causing energy transfer failure. The redstone circuit can be automatically formed by simply placing it at a fixed point.

Redstone repeaters need to be laid every 8 meters of redstone circuits to continue or delay the transmission of redstone energy, otherwise the energy source will be disconnected and fail.

With the cooperation of the two militiamen, they quickly laid the line outside the county government office.

At this time, the gate of the county government office was already surrounded by yamen runners,
County Magistrate Han, along with his brother-in-law, a group of yamen runners, and those gangsters stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage with a covetous look.

Han County Magistrate changed his previous cowardly appearance at this time.

He held his head high and shouted angrily at Zhu Chongba:
"Hey! How dare you, the shameless villain, hold the county magistrate hostage and rebel! I will definitely not let you escape from Fengyang County!"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed no fear when he saw more and more hangers-on and onlookers gathering.

He smiled and slapped the county magistrate twice on the face with his wooden sword and said:

"County Magistrate, it seems that your subordinate does not want you to live. He is provoking us so much, should we kill you as a sacrifice?"

The county magistrate felt his hair stand on end as he looked at the wooden sword which had no deterrent power at all. He had seen with his own eyes how this thing had cut into the swords of several yamen runners.

The county magistrate trembled and roared at the county magistrate:

"Han Laoliu! What are you going to do? Get out!"

Han Xiancheng looked at the county magistrate with an embarrassed look on his face, shook his head and laughed strangely:
"Sir, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. I have already sent someone to inform Lord Darughachi. We can't let them go before your arrival."

Although the county magistrate was usually responsible for all duties in Fengyang County, he was ultimately just a guard dog for the Mongols.

With the Darughachi's endorsement, County Magistrate Han did not need to consider the County Magistrate's attitude at all.
Anyway, these guys all looked like they wanted to put the blame on me. Instead of doing that, it would be better to just let them die in the line of duty.

As for being on the way, Darughaci has not yet gotten out of bed after being beaten by the emperor. He probably won't be able to get here before this group of people die.

A group of county officials looked at the county magistrate with bloodshot eyes, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
