Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 33

Salt owls are actually a bunch of poor people.They lost their land and had no way of making a living, so they were forced to turn to illegal salt sales as a last resort.The government regards them as salt rats, and thinks that they have destroyed the salt tax revenue of the court. Therefore, when encountering members of the salt lords, officials from all over the country basically don’t know how to try them according to legal procedures. If there is news, people will be tortured and killed.

These members of the salt lords are not only disliked by the government, but also because of the price of salt, bandits and robbers from all over the world also regard them as fat sheep, and they will snatch them whenever they have the opportunity.As for the official salt merchants and the major gentry families, if they didn't catch the opportunity, they would send troops and private soldiers to suppress them.To say that Yan Xiao is also a person who licks blood on the edge of a knife, is very brave, and often fights with officials, bandits, and various forces, but they can't see the light. As long as they see the light, everyone shouts and beats them like mice.

Entering the industry of salt owls, there is almost no possibility of escape. For generations, the children and grandchildren are a group of salt rats living in the dark.Chen Xun's words expressed the common aspirations of all Yan Xiao members.They are exhausted, but they are precarious. No one is willing to live in fear under the edge of other people's steel knives at any time.

"Why? Is it fair for God to treat us like this?" Chen Xun didn't even look at his father who was already dead. To Chen Xun, Chen Ji's death was just the end of an era, the end of an era.Chen Xun stepped into the blood beside Chen Ji, walked around Chen Ji's body without even looking at it, and then went straight to sit on the tiger-skin chair in the main hall.

Chen Xun, who was about to sit down, turned around suddenly, and said to dozens of people in the main hall, "Today, I am sitting in this seat, who among you can object?"

Wang Rufeng opened his mouth, and suddenly saw a young man hugging a package that was dripping blood, and then he knelt on the ground and shouted: "A gentleman inherits his father's business, it's only natural, who dares to object, if you object, you must step on it!" Follow Sun Quan's bones in the past!"

Sun Quan's performance is very exaggerated. If people don't know the details, they will really think that Sun Quan is Chen Xun's direct minion.I saw Sun Quan unwrapping the package, and it turned out that inside was a human head whose blood hadn't coagulated, and it seemed that it had just been chopped off for a long time.Seeing this head, Chen Xun couldn't help shouting angrily: "Sun Quan!"

"The running dog is here!" Sun Quan knelt on the ground, using his knees as his feet, and quickly moved towards Chen Xun.

"You are really shameless. I have never seen such a shameless person like you!" Chen Xun pointed at Sun Quan and said, "I never thought that Zheng Laogou was smart all his life, and when he was confused for a while, he would sometimes go astray. Zheng Laogou The bones here are not yet cold, you cut off the head of the daughter of the family and voted for the certificate, human nature is a one-night couple, a hundred days of grace, and you and the Zheng family have been married for two years, how can you get rid of such a cruel hand?"

Sun Quan said with a smile: "Those who know practical things are brilliant, Xiaodi just wants to live, it's as simple as that!"

"Haha!" Chen Xun looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I like your shamelessness very much, you are a real villain."

Chen Xun said again: "Uncle Qi, what do you think?"

Wang Rufeng thought for a while, and suddenly bent down to run, but he didn't kneel down, Chen Xun stepped forward and quickly pulled him up and said, "It doesn't matter whether you kneel or not, it's just a form, as long as you surrender in your heart, it's better than kneeling on the ground." Be strong if you are not convinced!"

Wang Rufeng tremblingly said: "Rufeng is willing to be driven by the master!"

A man can bend and stretch, and his situation is stronger than others. Unless Wang Rufeng wants to die, the only way is to bow his head.

Chen Xun smiled slightly and said, "What about you?"

At this time, Xu Meng raised his long axe and stared at everyone.For the first time, Xu Meng showed his cruel side in front of Yan Xiao people. Xu Meng's long axe was very lethal. The men split from head to buttocks, one split in two.At that time, I was afraid that everyone present would be scared to pee.Everyone is also a ruthless character, but compared to Xu Meng, it is the gap between an adult and a child.Xu Meng's eyes flashed fiercely, as if you dare to disobey me and I will chop you up.Everyone was scared out of their wits.

The fourth master and the fifth master looked at each other, and reluctantly came out and said: "I am willing to be driven by the elder master!"

"First test (the meaning of the late father) is outdated, and it won't work for a long time!" Chen Xun said loudly: "The first thing I did when I took office was to announce that from now on, we will no longer be in the salt mouse!"

"What? No more salt mice? What shall we eat then?"

"That's right, we can't drink the northwest wind, can we?"

"There are more than 2 people, old and young. If there is no income and the mountains are empty, even a mountain of gold can be eaten up!"

……

Hearing Chen Xun say that the salt owl would no longer sell private salt from now on, it was like a drop of water poured into the boiling oil, and the pot exploded in an instant. The sound seemed to blow off the roof of the main hall.

Seeing the chattering voices, Chen Xun did not stop, but let everyone discuss.After a while, Chen Xun said: "Have you all finished? If you have finished speaking, then listen to me again. Some of us joined later, and some of us have been selling private salt for generations. The battlefield, I’m afraid I’ll never come back. Have you had enough of this kind of life? I don’t know if you’ve had enough, anyway, I’ve had enough.”

"Big boss, we don't have any land to plant, so what else can we do without selling private salt?"

"What are you doing? We can do a lot more." Chen Xun said: "We don't sell private salt. In fact, there is still a good way to go, and that is to kill officials and cede land to become king. The Linhuai army almost came out in full force, and now they are attacking us. Fanjiadian is coming, we have no choice but to fight to the death. As long as we are united and work together, we will be able to defeat the champion general Mao Husheng's troops. As long as we defeat Mao Husheng, then Linhuai County will only be With more than a thousand remnants, we can occupy the ten counties of Linhuai, cut off the land and become the king. You will also become princes, wouldn't it be beautiful to shine on the lintel!"

"The Jin Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, how can we be the opponents of the court?"

"Why are we fighting with the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" Chen Xun said with a smile: "Our salt owls have accumulated nearly 20 shi of grain, and there are more than 30 shi in Linhuai City. With [-] shi of grain in hand, we can attract refugees and those who cannot survive. If the peasants join the army, as long as they organize tens of thousands of horses, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be scared to death. The Eastern Jin court will definitely choose to recruit us when it sees that we are powerful. When the time comes, we will accept the Eastern Jin court’s recruitment, and you can also behave in a fair and aboveboard manner. Children and grandchildren no longer need to be shameless salt rats!"

When everyone heard about Chen Xun's plan, they were extremely excited.However, the Seventh Master Wang Rufeng said: "Although the idea of ​​the Great Master is good, it is difficult to realize, and there are still problems!"

Chen Xun said: "Seventh Uncle just speak out."

Wang Rufeng said: "Although we have some swords and hunting bows, we can deal with some bandits and robbers, but if we really fight against the champion general's troops, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great."

"I have a thousand pairs of fine iron armor!" Chen Xun said with a smile: "Two thousand crossbows, 20 crossbow arrows, and a large number of equipment such as swords, guns and swords are enough to arm tens of thousands of horses!"

When everyone heard this, they were ready to move, gearing up, ready to fight!
