Early the next morning, several family members who had been drunk last night also got up, and saw that Lord Wu Chenxuan had packed up and was waiting for them in the courtyard at the entrance of the village with the guards. Zhang Yuting and a few people held their foreheads with one hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Qianjian, Tang Erhu was sincere, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was helped up by Wu Chenxuan.

"Brothers, what are you doing? Didn't I say yesterday that I hit it off with a few brothers, and this trip is only about brotherhood, regardless of official status? Wu Chenxuan said with a warm smile, and some soldiers brought a few Maza, and sat down around the bonfire in the courtyard.

"Today I am going to leave for Jinzhou, my brothers have already fought with Lao Maozi in Jinzhou, I heard that the casualties are not small, I have to take these soldiers to support, I can't get together with a few brothers. I know that my brothers are all true heroes who are chivalrous and courageous, and they must not be traitors who turn their backs on their ancestors. Brother, I hope that your brothers will put the people first, and do not do anything to harm the people, so that we can meet my brothers in the future. If you don't want to guard this acre and three points of land one day, and you are willing to open the sky and the sky, you must go to your brother to see, and I am waiting for you in Jinan Mansion. ”

"My lord, oh, Brother Wu's good intentions have been recorded by the three of my brothers, and Yuting hereby congratulates Brother Wu on the success of this dispatch of troops and horses, a great victory, and retains a vitality for the people of the three eastern provinces." Zhang Yuting returned the gift to Wu Chenxuan on behalf of his brothers.

"Oh, yes." Wu Chenxuan pointed to the tightly covered box in the corner of the courtyard and said, "Here is a little gift I gave to a few brothers, and I also asked a few brothers to smile." ”

Tang Erhu, who was impatient, didn't care about it, and said in his mouth, "Brother Wu is polite, isn't it, who are we with." Tang Erhu didn't expect that under the grass was a bundle of brand-new Mosina dry rifles, and he didn't even wipe off the gun oil, so he was stunned on the spot like a wooden medallion.

"W-what does that mean?" Zhang Jinghui didn't react, but Zhang Yuting's eyes rolled and he understood what Wu Chenxuan meant. The old pimple Zhang Yuting understood in his heart that it seemed that Wu Chenxuan, a big official, was a brother and a brother, and a morality in the rivers and lakes, and he also sent guns and cannons, but in fact, this is all a fragrant bait, whether he accepts it or not, this favor is owed, and if he accepts these Russian guns, he will have a mortal enmity with Lao Maozi in the future, and he must not take refuge in Lao Maozi. If these things fall into the eyes of the Japanese, even if they are branded with Wu Ji, they can be regarded as Wu Chenxuan's pawns in the Northeast. If you don't accept these guns, and not to mention that Japan and Russia won't appreciate it, even your own brothers may not be convinced. What's more, as long as Wu Chenxuan looks around, there are a lot of locks who are willing to take refuge, these Russian fast guns are the best money to buy their lives, and those locks will not be polite to themselves at that time, and it is almost certain to annex this octagonal platform with few soldiers, and when the time comes, he will either die by the enemy, or he will be in the rivers and lakes, and eight * nine times out of ten will go to this Lord Wu and become Lord Wu's eagle dog. Understanding Wu Chenxuan's intention to take it first does not mean that Zhang Yuting can have a way to resolve it, the hateful thing about this conspiracy is that all the pros and cons are in front of you, but you have to go down step by step according to the other party's arrangement, for a hero like Zhang Yuting, it is the biggest misfortune to be played with by others.

Zhang Yuting thought of a few ways in an instant, but he couldn't crack this scheme, smiled helplessly, and looked at the two brothers who looked like greedy landlords and were busy beckoning Zhuang Ding to count the guns into the warehouse.

"These are 200 brand-new Mosinagan rifles, which is really not respectful, and please don't blame me for borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Wu Chenxuan said lightly, after all, in the eyes of the Wuyi New Army, these guns are far from the Qin crossbow rifle, and they have little use value at all.

"This is already so grateful to Brother Wu" Zhang Jinghui wanted to show a little sven, but he couldn't close his big mouth. I calculated in my heart that there were only more than 100 fast guns in the tunzi, and even the earthen cannons, lifting rods, and bird guns were not more than 300 hanging zeros, which was equivalent to doubling the number of guns at once, and these brand-new water beads could not be bought with money, let alone boxes of bullets.

"I will leave a few wounded New Army soldiers behind, and ask Brother Yuting to help take care of them. These soldiers can help you teach Johndin how to use machine guns and artillery. Wu Chenxuan asked people to leave some silver coins and Western medicine for the wounded infantrymen.

"These military masters are all for the injuries suffered by the people of my northeast, and we should do our best to take care of them. Come and vacate a few conservatories, so that the military masters can rest and recuperate. Zhang Yuting also understood that these soldiers were the fuses left behind, but he and his own people couldn't play with cannons and machine guns, and no one could teach them.

"Machine guns? Cannon? Tang Erhu, who was still counting bullets, tilted his ears and couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this. Where, where. My brother Wu, you can do it, once you finish it, don't let my old soup be surprised. ”

"Hehe, Brother Erhu, look at what's on those two big cars." Wu Chenxuan pointed to several carriages parked at the base of the wall.

Zhuang Ding hurriedly uncovered the tarpaulin, four Russian-made Maxim water-cooled machine guns were standing tall on the carriage, and the barrel of a mountain gun was lying quietly on the side, and on the other carriage was a large and small ammunition box, which was naturally machine gun shells and shells, and the gun carriage and gun wheels were also combined, quietly parked on the side of the cart.

"Sergeant Major, lead someone to load up the mountain cannon." Wu Chenxuan gave an order to a sergeant major beside him.

"Yes, Chief." The sergeant major turned around with a clean salute and quickly assembled the cannon with a few technicians. In less than a quarter of an hour, a brand-new Qiwu Mountain Cannon was assembled, and the speed made Zhang Yuting and them astonished.

"These are not our Shandong ordnance products, but we fought a logistics base for the Russian army in Linghai, but because Lao Maozi chased him urgently, he didn't capture much, and the brothers should not dislike it." Wu Chenxuan said it clearly, Zhang Yuting and they can't blame Wu Chenxuan for providing these Russian-style weapons, not to mention that the Russian army's weapons are almost universal calibers in the three northeastern provinces, at least there is no need to worry about ammunition supply.

The regimental drills of the Octagonal Platform were suddenly replenished with two companies of new rifles, plus four Maxims and a seven-five mountain cannon, which was not much worse than a battalion of the new army in Mukden, and they could go sideways in the entire Xinmin area. In this troubled era, erecting a recruitment flag, there is no shortage of food people, Zhang Yuting has already planned to annihilate Jin Daya and several of their stubborn bandits first, on the one hand, to make a name, on the other hand, to make some windfall money to have a family to recruit troops.

"Brother Wu, these are all good things, and those who are brothers need these, but they can't let Brother Wu suffer. Well, make a price. When I bought it, I didn't have the money for a while, and I could give it to my brother in a few days. Although Zhang Yuting didn't know Wu Chenxuan's idea, the old idea of maintaining the independence of this small team could not be changed.

"Brother Yuting, don't you look down on you. Anyway, in the next trip to the Northeast, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable. If Brother Zhang is unwilling to have anything to do with Zaixia, he will not force it. I'll take you twenty taels of silver as a hard-earned money. Wu Chenxuan smiled and said with a gloomy face.

"Old pimple, what is this for?" Tang Er's eyes rolled and he understood Zhang Yuting's plan, but these good guns cost ten taels of silver, and the bullets of the light guns were more than three thousand taels, and the total price was no less than six thousand, including the mountain artillery machine gun. If Zhang Yuting didn't know what to do, he had to give money, and it was estimated that the twenty taels would be thrown in the face by others. And this matter is Brother Wu standing and reasoning, it is still a love to send goose feathers for thousands of miles, not to mention that this is a gun and ammunition that cannot be exchanged for gold, a life-saving guy style, no matter what, this favor is done. If you don't dare to take this octagonal platform for fear of being implicated, then the octagonal platform on the rivers and lakes will be removed from now on, and no one will deal with such a cowardly, fearful, and ungrateful man. But the old pimple let the words out, so I had to let myself bring the words back. "Brother Wu is the one who is poor in money? Besides, what time is this, if you have a gun, you will have a life, and you can let the villagers live in peace, do we owe money? We owe a life. As long as Brother Wu says a word, our brother will go through the fire and water. ”

"Brother Erhu is right, I want to go wrong. Blame me, blame me, oops, haven't sobered up yet. Zhang Yuting patted his head, as if he was hungover.

"Brothers, it's not that I deliberately fell into a dangerous place, this old Maozi doesn't have much confidence, the Russian army in Liaoxi has retreated, and soon the decisive battle in Liaodong will begin, brother, I'll go to ask for some interest and come back, as long as you remember the purpose of protecting the territory and the people, whether it's Lao Maozi or Xiao Nose, you will fight back if you harm the people. These foreigners are springs, if you are strong, he will be weak, if you endure, they will inevitably gain an inch. ”

"Ao, Brother Wu, how did you know that this old Maozi was going to withdraw from Liaoxi?" Although Zhang Jinghui does not speak, he is also a person who understands and knows where the key is, if Lao Maozi is repulsed, they have no need to be afraid of Russian retaliation, and Lao Maozi will become a dead tiger.

"It's a military secret, but I'm able to share some of it from the Japanese military's intelligence department. The Russian army in western Liaoning is nothing more than a fourth division and a garrison brigade. The garrison has withdrawn to Mukden, the Fourth Division has almost been annihilated, Lao Maozi is now surrounded by Port Arthur, and Mukden does not dare to lose it, where will they have the spare strength to occupy Liaoxi. "Wu Chenxuan continues to pretend to be a magic stick" The Japanese army is now pressed on the whole front, I heard that there are three more divisions in Japan to form the third army to participate in the war in Liaodong, the strength of the Russian army has been exhausted, and the supply is insufficient, this battle is already a sure loss, the bottom line of the small nose is the military port area of the Liaodong Peninsula, the two sides can actually negotiate, as long as the navy makes a result, this war will be over. Now both sides have even used the strength to eat milk, and our thousands of brothers are the stars of the fixation, calculate the time, intersperse with the Russian army's defense line, and defeat the Russian army before the Japanese army, so that the people of Lushun can jump out of the fire pit as soon as possible. If you don't die in the future, our brothers will have their own day of reunion. If you have sacrificed your life for the country, please burn a few knives of paper for me and my brothers today next year, and pour two bowls of burning knives. ”

"Brother Wu, you are truly benevolent and righteous people, brothers admire." Zhang Yuting was also a little agitated in his heart, but he was not stupid because of his ambition, and he couldn't afford to lose all his family wealth for the sake of righteousness.

"Lord Wu is slow, and he is willing to go to the national disaster with the adults." A sturdy man who didn't look amazing suddenly spoke, causing the people around him to be shocked. No one thought that it was Zhang Yuting's brother-in-law Zhang Fuchen who was leaving.

The army set off and left behind guns and ammunition, Tang Erhu and Zhang Jinghui were already happy, as long as the old pimple Zhang Yuting looked at the distant brother and the iron-gray people* and was stunned.
