Chapter 4 Take the initiative to ask for rewards

Out of the garden, along the way, there was a lot of laughter and music, corpses lying in pools of blood everywhere, and debris discarded everywhere.

In the front yard, some big men with knives were directing young men to move things, and the whole house had obviously been cleaned up.

Qin Yu originally wanted to find a set of clothes, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, so as not to be misunderstood when he got it, and he was cut off as the son of a big family.

Qin Yu didn't go up to help, but decided to recuperate, so he took advantage of the chaos, found a firewood room, and secretly slept well.

In order to prevent being hacked to death in a dream, he also put a pillar behind the door, and when someone pushed the door, he would wake up.

……

Qin Yu was woken up, and when he pushed open the door, he found that it was already dark.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw that the heroes of the righteous army were all naked, drinking wine and eating meat, and scolding their mothers with fists.

More than a dozen disheveled women were thrown and ripped around, screaming from time to time, causing a crowd of heroes to laugh, and the scene was very lively.

Qin Yu didn't participate, and when he saw that the mother and daughter were not among them, he walked out, and almost everyone recognized him, and no one asked.

Out of the courtyard, there was the sound of drinking and eating meat in the houses on both sides, and there was hardly anyone else on the street, and it was obvious that those who could enter the city were celebrating.

Qin Yu knew that if he wanted to take credit, he had to take the initiative to receive it.

If you don't go, how will others know you're still alive?

After today, the eight kings soak in the gentle countryside every day, and they still remember a fart! So you have to strike while the iron is hot.

After wandering around the city for a long time, Qin Yu found the county office, and this time there were finally two volunteers at the door, but his head glanced inside from time to time.

"Stop!"

"Boy, this isn't the place for you, get out there."

"Big brothers, don't you know me? I'm the one who blew up the gates of the city during the day..."

"It's you kid, why don't you go drinking and celebrate, what are you doing here?"

The big man on the right stepped forward to look at Qin Yu twice, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Two big brothers, didn't I come to the king to receive the reward? Please let me know..."Qin Yu said and groped around his body for a while, but only found two copper plates, which were still picked up on the road.

"Boy, it's not that I won't inform you, the king and the leaders are on the rise, isn't it looking for scolding at this time! Come back tomorrow! The big man waved his hand.

"Alright then!"

Qin Yu had to nod helplessly, if he didn't strike while the iron was hot, tomorrow's reward would definitely have to be discounted.

"What's going on?"

Just then, a teenager walked out with two of his men.

"Second general, this kid is the one who did gunpowder to blow up the city during the day..."

"Oh?"

The person who came was Li Dingguo, who was about to go out on patrol to breathe, and when he saw that it was really Qin Yu, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you came just in time, my father-in-law mentioned you just now, everyone thought you were killed, haha, go..."

As he spoke, he grabbed Qin Yu's arm and walked in.

"In Xia Qinyu, haven't you asked the general for his surname?"

Qin Yu was not polite, he naturally recognized this young man, who should be one of Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons.

If he hadn't spoken out to stop him during the day, he would have been cut down, but now seeing him so enthusiastic, he suddenly had a good impression and wanted to make friends.

"My name is Zhang Dingguo, I am the righteous son of the king, and we will be my own brothers in the future."

Li Dingguo waved his hand boldly.

"It turned out to be Brother Dingguo, who has admired the name for a long time, and I have to thank Brother Dingguo for his help during the day!"

Qin Yu didn't expect that this young man turned out to be Li Dingguo, Nanming's famous anti-Qing general, and the good impression in his heart was even worse.

"Alas! It's just a trivial matter, if it weren't for the gunpowder made by Brother Qin during the day, my righteous army might not be able to attack this valley city, I should thank you..."

As the two spoke, they had already walked through the noisy courtyard and came to the county hall.

I saw the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong sitting in the position of the county magistrate, holding a beautiful woman in one hand, so unhappy.

On the left and right, more than a dozen leaders were also holding a beautiful woman, some were pouring wine, some were up and down, and it was even more lively than outside.

When Qin Yu saw the beautiful woman tied to the pillar on the left, he also sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the mother and daughter would be caught so quickly and sent to the Eight Great Kings.

The beautiful woman also saw Qin Yu who came in, and her numb expression finally had a trace of emotion, and a flash of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Qin Yu hurriedly tilted his head to the side.

I knew this, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time, and I was robbed of the credit for nothing, but I don't know why she was tied up there.

"Father-in-law, I brought the little brother who sacrificed the plan to bomb the city during the day."

"Oh! Is it? Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong pushed the woman in his arms aside, and the others in the hall also quieted down and looked at Qin Yu.

The first young man with a white cloth on his head snorted coldly and tilted his head to the side, it was Sun Kewang who led people to blow up the door, obviously suffering a little injury.

"Boy Qin Yu, I've seen the king, the leaders!"

"Hmm!"

"Boy, this time my righteous army broke through the county, you have made a lot of contributions, my eight kings have always rewarded and punished clearly, say, what reward do you want?"

"The king, judging from this siege, gunpowder and firearms can play a huge role in attacking the city, so the kid has the courage to recommend himself to form a firearms battalion, and in the future he will attack the city for the king and the righteous army!"

Qin Yu hurriedly clenched his fists, now is not the time to be modest, the opportunity is fleeting.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Xianzhong was a little upset, felt that it made sense, and was about to nod in agreement, when Sun Kewang on the side gave a big man a look to him beside him.

Dahan immediately stood up: "King, this kid hasn't grown his hair, so he will sit in command of a battalion, I'm afraid the brothers below will be dissatisfied!" ”

"Yes, Lao Tzu has followed the king to fight in the south and the north for more than ten years, and he has dozens of scars on his body, so he can barely sit on the command, you have made such a contribution to the yellow-mouthed child, you have to be the commander, it is really a toad yawning and a big breath."

"Haha!"

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone felt that Qin Yu didn't know the height of the sky.

Li Dingguo hugged his fists: "Father-in-law, although Brother Qin is young, but he has extraordinary knowledge, if he hadn't offered a plan to bomb the city with gunpowder this time, even if he captured Gucheng, our army would have suffered heavy losses, and he was proficient in firearms, I think it would be okay for him to form a firearms battalion!" ”

"Father-in-law, what the second brother said also has some truth, but this time, our army has not captured much gunpowder, and the firearms are all rusty and unusable, and the firearms battalion will only waste food in vain if it is formed, doesn't this kid say that he is literate? I think it's better to let him follow Mr. Huang to take care of the back camp, it's more appropriate. ”

Sun Kewang stood up, nodded first, and then said slowly.

Qin Yu hated him in his heart, he and this guy had no chance, but this dog thing actually targeted him three times and twice, why didn't he blow him up during the day?

There is a fart to go to the back camp, he wants his own subordinates, only in this way can he have a place in the rebel army in the future, so he said again: "King, it doesn't matter if there is no gunpowder, as long as there is sulfur, the boy can make gunpowder by himself, this time we should have seized a lot of sulfur!" ”

"Oh? You also make gunpowder? Could it be that you are a craftsman who makes firearms? Zhang Xianzhong suddenly sat up straight.

"Yes King!"

Qin Yu's face was not red, and he said breathlessly, saying in his heart that Lao Tzu was a craftsman, and this kid was originally a little beggar.

"Can you cast a cannon?" Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up.

"As long as there are skilled craftsmen, it should be possible."

At this time, it is natural to pretend to be forced to the end, to determine the status first, and then talk about it later.

"Good! From now on, a firearms battalion will be set up, under your command, and the number of firearms will be tentatively set at 100, and all the firearms seized this time will be under the control of the firearms battalion. ”

Zhang Xianzhong slapped the table, and the two beautiful women beside Zhen trembled.

"Thank you, King! The king is wise! ”

Qin Yu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but feel that the eight kings did have clear rewards and punishments, and they had the spirit of the eight kings.

It is no wonder that there were hundreds of leaders of the Wandering People's Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and in the end, only he and Li Zicheng could stand out.

Everyone is not objecting, they know the temper of the eight kings very well, and now they are on the rise.

"Brother Qin, congratulations, come, I'll introduce you..."

Li Dingguo arched his hand with a smile, and then began to pull Qin Yu and toast the other leaders.

Sun Kewang had a gloomy face, where did he not understand the second child's tricks? used to be the youngest of the second child, but now he can no longer take advantage of his age, and he can still get a help for nothing.
