281 On the way to escape
"After the test on the Jinjiang River, I will arrange all the machinery to go along the Jialing River."
Wang Shiqiang has never dared to think or do.
When he was a small maritime merchant, he discussed these plans with her in Tangfang.
Now he has become a military state commander all the way from a businessman, and he has been given a red robe before entering and exiting the palace, and he has a chance to kill the traitors and save the situation for the second time.
There was nothing he didn't dare to say.
"San Lang's boat gang is helping the imperial court like this, are you worried that the incident of being falsely accused of rebellion a while ago will have a thorn in the heart of the official family?"
He asked with a smile, reaching out and touching the head of the mare she was riding.
She looked at the docile mare under her skirt, and despised that it had been insulted and didn't give him a hoof.
"That's fine. This time, you did your best to defend Sichuan. There was no obstacle to the relocation of people back to the Song Dynasty. ”
She listened quietly, silently.
Ignored all the time, he tried his best to find a topic that interested her, and he stared at her.
"Don't you want to open workshops along the Yangtze River? It won't be long before I can get you what you want. Haven't we discussed it before? When the southwest horses and boats went down the river, the Yangtze River and Jiang troops prepared the same ordnance from the two armies in Chuzhou, and the northern expedition may not be unsuccessful......"
The cold wind of early spring blew the hood of her cape, half-revealing her face, which had been tightly covered.
He reached out to pull it for her.
She tilted her head and avoided it.
He sighed, withdrew his hand, and said with a wry smile:
"What do you have to do to forgive me? I said I was just confused......"
“……”
It wasn't the first time he had said these four words, but when he heard it, he suddenly had a new feeling in her.
Lou Yun also mentioned these four words in the letter. It's Li Quan.
In a letter home in her arms, Lou Yun wrote:
Wang Shiqiang hesitated, because he had to have the help of the Lou family to enter the office. So he married Luan Pei. But he should be clear by now. Just like Li Quan's foundation is his and Yang Miaozhen's soldiers and horses. His foundation—"
Wang Shiqiang's foundation has always been Tangfang.
It was he and her who built the Tang Fang hand in hand.
It was the waves of the East China Sea that beat his feet in his dream......
"You stay in the tent, and if the situation is not right, go by yourself. I've got you covered. ”
On the second watch, Wang Shiqiang left a sentence for her outside the tent and left on his own.
She didn't sleep in the tent, and half an hour ago she heard a summons from King Wu to An Bing from the East Garden.
"There's only one chance."
She went out of the tent and whispered to Ji Mo who was mixed with the miscellaneous labor. "King Wu should have seen An Bing in the outer hall of the East Garden. While they were moving, we went to save the king and grandson of Xiu. ”
For the great sacrifice of the third watch, the two or three miles near the East Garden are connected by tents. The guards came and went with torches.
This is the time when King Wu sacrifices alone, and in fact, it is not about the Wu clan's relatives, officials, and relatives.
Everyone got up, changed into their dresses, and lined up to look at the East Garden.
But most of them are still dozing off.
Including the guards are also careless.
Ji Mo and Lou Ling easily restrained the guards outside the tent. Ji Qingchen sneaked into Zhao Duanning's tent.
In the dark. Zhao Duanning had already prepared, and his little eyes were shining.
"Got news?"
"Not yet."
What he asked about was the result of killing Wu Xi, of course Ji Qingchen didn't know.
It's like she didn't tell Wang Shiqiang in detail about her saving Zhao Duanning.
She hurriedly asked Zhao Duanning to change into the clothes of an ordinary handyman, and escorted him out of the tent.
It took a lot of effort for them to bypass the patrolling guards and flee to the outside of the camp.
Not surprisingly, she and Zhao Duanning were discovered.
Fortunately, the fangding and the generals who responded did not miss it, and the fast horse was already ready.
They were a group of about 20 people with forty-eight fast horses. Riding his horse and galloping, he fled in the direction of the Jialing River wharf.
Then there were a few explosions in the camp. The ignition powder she had buried exploded in the night.
The fiery snakes swallowed, the voices of the people were frightened, and a fire quickly ignited in the camp that was two or three miles long.
"Catch the spies! Catch the show king's grandson! ”
Iron hooves were like thunder, and a large number of government soldiers rushed towards them.
The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was as dense as rain, Zhao Duanning was holding his head on horseback, he was just a noble son, and his face was blue with fright at this time, but he actually had the kung fu to surprise Ji Mo with the crossbow machine in their hands.
The range was far enough that he couldn't afford not to pay attention.
In the darkness of the night, the sharp arrows of the soldiers fell to the ground a dozen paces behind their horses.
The crossbow arrows in Ji Mo's hands were enough to penetrate the light armor of the government soldiers, and in their screams, Ji Qingchen and his party shot and killed one after another pursuers.
"This is the ordnance of the Shouwei Army and the Wu Ning Soldiers under the account of Lord Lou?"
Zhao Duanning had heard about it a long time ago.
In the last Northern Expedition, Lou Yun was able to win in Chuzhou because he was strategizing and was far more prepared than the others.
Lou Yun transferred 6,000 brave and brave people, Chuzhou City had Li Quanyi's army outside, and Ji Erlang was undercover in Suzhou.
In addition, in order to improve his combat effectiveness, he insisted on switching to the latest manufacturing of the Ordnance Division in the army under his rule.
Ji Qingchen glanced at him and didn't say anything.
She turned around on the back of her horse and shot three arrows in a row, Zhao Duanning saw that the pursuers fell off the horse, and her eyes widened.
Women can kill the enemy with this crossbow machine, not to mention that Lou Yun used it in large quantities in the army.
"It's not that this batch of weapons is unusable!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was on the way to escape, he would almost rush over and grab Ji Qingchen's shirt and roar at her.
Where did Ji Qingchen have time to pay attention to him, he only cared about shooting the pursuers with arrows.
This crossbow machine diagram was given to Wang Shiqiang a long time ago, and together with the Tangfang firearms diagram, it was presented to the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry through Prime Minister Han's mansion.
However, the manufacture of ordnance in the official workshop has become a common practice, and the original bureau of making bows, arrows, and firearms has always been the source of wealth for Lord Han.
If the product is replaced, the original material supplier and the official and private shops will be affected and lose a large number of businesses.
Lord Xiao Han has taken enough bribes, and in the past few years, he has secretly suppressed the new ordnance, and has not been able to manufacture it in large quantities.
Even the first trial ones were presented to the Privy Council for inspection.
Wang Shiqiang knew that there were too many people to offend, so he could only endure it.
It wasn't until Lou Yun became the envoy of the Huaidong Festival that he personally explained to the official family that he tried it out in the Shouwei Army and the Wuning Army.
The raw materials are provided by the Huang Warehouse at half price, and the Mingzhou Workshop jointly built by the Chen family and Tang Fang is willing to manufacture a batch for free, and then see the effect after delivery and use.
It was not until after the victory of the Northern Expedition that the official family made up their minds to dismiss Xiao Han from his deputy position in the Ministry of Industry
Zhao Duanning only had to think about it a little more, and he immediately understood the reason for this.
"Xiu Wangsun, let's go separately here-"
After escaping for nearly 20 miles, the first road in front was to go directly to the Jialing River Wharf, which was the retreat arranged by Wang Shiqiang for her.
"Lord Wang sent someone to answer the first ten miles, and my family's San Lang also prepared a river boat on the dock to pick up Wang Sun, and he will definitely send you back to the capital safely." (To be continued......)
