In October of the second year of Tianqi, the Xu family in Songjiang and Shanghai.

"Old lady, the news is true. A large number of villagers came to our Xujiazhuang and threatened to raid our Xujia!"

Xu Guangqi's grandson Xu Ermo said to Xu Guangqi's mother Qian.

"What should I do, old lady?"

Xu Ji asked Qian in a panic.

Qian said calmly: "What are you afraid of? There have been no struggles between the gentry and gentry for land and armed forces. If they have villagers, can we not have villagers?"

As he said that, Qian stood up with the help of his maid and ordered: "Call the people in the village and send people to tell our relatives and friends, as well as our Xu cotton yarn and weaving yarn weaving workers, telling them that someone is coming to steal our jobs and our property, so that we have no good life. We cannot let them succeed. We must protect ourselves!"

Qian continued, "After everyone gathered up, most of them were arranged to go to the cotton mill. There was the key. If the Xu family was kept, they could be re-made even if they were robbed by these rioters. The emperor could explain it!"

"yes!"

Xu Ermo replied.

Then, Xu Qian ordered another great-grandson Xu Erqin: "Eqin, take all your family to your mother's Wu family to hide immediately. Remember, no matter what happens to the Xu family next, don't come back! Just leave your old body and your father here."

"Okay, old lady!"

Xu Erqin replied and immediately instructed his servant to prepare the carriage.

...

at this time.

A large number of people causing trouble were beginning to appear outside Xujiazhuang, organized by reactionary gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

These people wiping their foreheads with shirtless words, and the words "Perform the Way for Heaven" are written on them.

It is obvious that because all kinds of storytelling novels are popular nowadays, these troublemakers are also deeply influenced by "Water Margin".

"The Xu family is unrighteous!"

"Cracked the Xu family!"

"Bow the Xu family to death!"

At the same time, these troublemakers were still shouting neat and consistent slogans under the command of the leaders.

And these people were holding short spears and axes.

It is obvious that we have prepared in advance, and there are powerful men who provide support from behind. If we don’t have the heat, we won’t have so many weapons.

The troublemakers who were walking in the front began to knock down the Xu family's water truck and then dig open the Xu family's water canal.

Then, after these troublemakers entered Xujiazhuang, a group of rioters rushed towards the village where the Xujia tenants gathered with weapons. The mess was a mess, beating the people from the tenants' families, and even raped them after catching the woman, and stolen the local cotton and grain.

"Give me instructions to control the people of all ethnic groups and houses. What are the tenants of the Xu family who are worth grabbing? Don't be too obscene. Go and copy the Xu cotton mill first. I'm serious and copy the spinning machine there!"

At this time, a leader who was in charge of the troublemakers, who had a scar on his face and was called Qin Dao Scar, ordered several people around him.

Soon, these rioters who almost lost order because of looting the Xu family tenants returned to order under the constraints of their respective tribes and continued to come to the Xu family cotton mill.

Not long after, these people arrived outside the Xu Cotton Mill and surrounded the Xu Cotton Mill.

But at this time.

There are also many people around Xu's cotton mill.

Almost all the tribes of the Xu family, Ding Xiangyong, came here, and his relatives and friends.

Even Qiao Gong from the Anti-Corruption Department of the East Factory and a group of soldiers under his command came here.

Of course, all the yarn workers and weavers at Xu's cotton mill also gathered.

Because Qiao Gong was an official, he became the leader of the cotton mill with Xu Yue, the head of the cotton mill.

At this time, Qiao Gong shouted: "Now we all follow my orders and take all the guys in your hands to me. Don't be afraid. If these robbers want to smash our cotton mill, then we will let them go without a reply and kill them. The court is on our side. I can guarantee that if you kill these people, the government will not blame you!"

"That's right, fellow villagers, as well as the tribes of my Xu family, and the weavers of the cotton yarn mill, everyone should know that since the cotton yarn mill, everyone's life has become much richer, and the wages earned every year have been paid a lot of dividends. Some families have built brick and tile houses, and some have finally let their sons go to school. But now these robbers from neighboring villages can't stand our good things, and insist that we have taken their profits and are going to build our yarn mill now. Do you think we can agree?!"

Xu Yue also started shouting loudly.

"Don't agree!"

"Don't agree!"

"Don't agree!"

The people from the cotton mill all shouted loudly, and the crowd was infuriated.

Zhu Youjiao asked the cotton yarn mill to use the low cost brought by the cotton yarn mill's more advanced spinning technology and give workers higher treatment in part, which has achieved results here, making the workers very willing to protect the factory.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

Even some workers started shouting.

Others also followed suit.

The people who were making trouble outside did not dare to act rashly when they saw this. After all, there were many people guarding the cotton mill, and it looked difficult to mess with them. They also carried all kinds of weapons prepared by the cotton mill, and even bows, arrows, firearms and other equipment specially approved by the court.

"Qiao Yantou, where is Zhongcheng?"

When Xu met with him, he didn't have to work hard to encourage the enthusiasm of the people who guarded the cotton mill, so he saved energy and asked Qiao that he could use it.

"The whereabouts are unknown, and the Governor's yamen cannot find his people. Li Zhaoke, the deputy general of the Governor Biaoying, also received a Governor's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen's yamen can't count on him now, but the court has sent 5,000 people from the Guard Camp and the East Factory. As long as the cotton yamen sticks to it for a while, it will be fine when the court arrives."

Joe said.

Xu Yue nodded, and had some confidence. He couldn't help but shout: "Kill a rioter, the Xu family will reward fifty taels of silver!"

The people guarding the cotton mill couldn't help but feel even more excited when they heard Xu Yue say this.

"Tell the people below that you will rush into the Xu cotton mill first and reward one hundred taels of silver!"

At this time, Qin Daoba also used the money to inspire all the chaotic people he gathered, and clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "We must take down the Xu family cotton mill! Otherwise, the benefits of my Jiangnan textiles will fall into the hands of the Xu family and the court!"

And so.

Both sides became increasingly tense due to their respective interests and the incentives of money.

Bang!

But there are people from the East Factory helping the cotton yarn mill, and there are various military firearms that have been prepared long ago.

So, at this time, Qiao Gong personally lit a tiger squat cannon, and directly killed a rioter in one shot, and shouted: "Everything is for me! Kill these rioters!"

Therefore, the military service in the East Factory began to fire with muskets.

At the same time, the workers of the cotton yarn mill also took up the bows and arrows prepared by the cotton yarn mill and shot at these rioters because they had conducted some training in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions.

After a wave of random shots, many of these rioters were beaten to death and injured.

"Kill!"

Then, the others guarding the cotton mill rushed towards the rioters with spears and big swords, stabbing and slashing.

These rioters did not take advantage for a while and even began to retreat.

Qin Daoba was quite disappointed when he saw this, and couldn't help but say to Kuang Yonghui, a scholar around him who disguised as a rioter, and said, "Young Master! It is obvious that the people in this cotton yarn mill have been prepared for it. The people from the Xu family have obviously sent many people to protect him. Sun Chengzong is indeed colluding with the Xu family, otherwise they wouldn't have so many artillery guns. We are not as many as them, and even the people from the East Factory come to help!"

Kuang Yonghui couldn't help but scold: "It's really too much for the Xu family to collude with the government!"

Then, Kuang Yonghui ordered: "Since the cotton yarn mill cannot be taken down for a while, then go directly to the Xu family courtyard and arrest the Xu family all the young! I don't believe that the Xu family sent so many people to protect the cotton yarn mill, and there are enough people to protect him in his house!"
