Chapter 140: Temptation

Black Stone Cliff, underground karst cave.

Yang Yipeng, Xu Hongji and others were accompanied by Yang Bo to observe several of Yang Bo's warships in the cave.

The Ghost and the Burisham are all moored in the cave, Yang Bo has also built a dry dock in the depths of the cave, the Yanqing has already started, and Lin Chuzhen's people are laying the keel for the Yanqing in the dock, and the official completion will be waiting until next summer.

Earlier, Yang Bo used No. 2 explosives to expand the entrance of the cave, and the places in the cave that were not conducive to the entry and exit of sea ships were also cleaned with explosives, and even if a large warship like the Burisham entered and exited the cave, the channel was unimpeded.

The dock outside has not yet been built, the Ghost and the Burisham are moored in the cave, and there is not much space left, only enough to build a dry dock, Yang Bo has the intention to build a second battleship, but there is not enough space, and it is useless to be in a hurry.

In other words, the deep-water pier outside the cave is the priority.

Yang Bo blasted a hole in the cave wall, so the cave has a land exit connecting to the coast, through this south exit, climb dozens of steps, you can go straight to the high platform behind the eagle's beak of the black stone cliff.

The so-called high platform is a slightly higher flat land west of the eagle's beak, with a green one and a yellow one on it, the green is bare rock, and the yellow is a cluster of thatch.

After Yang Yipeng, Xu Hongji and others finished watching Yang Bo's battleship, they walked through the south exit, walked outside the cave, and came to the high platform.

The high platform is high, the wind is strong, the wind is cold, and the feet are covered with ice ballast, and stepping on it makes a tooth-aching creaking sound.

Everyone couldn't help but shiver and shrunk their necks, it was so cold this day.

Today, the pro-soldier team will conduct offensive and defensive drills on this high platform, which is an arrangement made at Yang Yipeng's request.

Since the emperor intends to let Yang Bo send troops to exterminate Liu Er in Hongze Lake, Yang Yipeng wants to see Yang Bo's combat strength, and it is rumored that Yang Bo's men and horses are divine soldiers descending from the sky, Yang Yipeng naturally can't believe it, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, and you will know.

The pro-soldier team is lining up, fifty pro-soldier members, lined up in two rows, with an aisle in the middle, Yang Yipeng and Xu Hongji walking through it, even if it is the review ceremony arranged by Yang Bo for these two big shots.

In the cold wind, the members of the pro-soldier team, all with their heads held high, as if they were cast in copper and iron, with cold complexions, sharp eyes, murderous and awe-inspiring all over their bodies, majestic and mighty, wrapped in gusts of cold wind, rushing to their faces, making people awe-inspired.

The two seniors looked at it, and secretly smacked their tongues in their hearts, where did Yang Bo, this kid, come from the method of training soldiers, and he can train such a strong soldier?

Yang Yipeng is an expert in military affairs, he has led soldiers to fight in Banzhou, and at the beginning of his tenure, he also took the time to visit several thousand households in Huai'anwei, and he couldn't be clearer about the current situation of the official army.

Seeing this posture today, in comparison, the officers and troops are simply a group of obscene and developed rabble, and the gap is too big, no wonder they always lose battles.

That's not all, when Yang Yipeng was surprised, Xu Erjiang gave an order, and those people took off their shirts, revealing their muscular and strong physiques, and they prostrated on the ground one after another, supporting the ground with both hands, doing undulating movements up and down, and their mouths kept shouting in unison, and the shouts shook the sky.

Obviously, this is Yang Bo's tossing again, which is extremely weird.

"Wenjue.." Yang Bo even took off his robe, took off only his middle coat, and greeted: "You have lost a lot of weight during this time, you should have done a lot when you were painting, come together?" ”

Xu Wenjue's heart is empty, he is thin, but that is because he is holding his breath, he must dig out the iron ore, and what he thinks about all day long is to marry Pu Peiyao home, how can he have the heart to do this?

Xu Wenjue hesitated, but he followed suit, but he didn't practice for a long time, and he couldn't hold it up after he didn't do a few.

"Dare to do this too?" Xu Hongji was stunned and exclaimed.

"It's called push-ups." Han Zanzhou smiled, he was not surprised, and said: "Don't hide it from you two, our family has also tried to hold on a few times in the guest room of Deyue Building, if you keep doing it day by day, it will not be difficult, hehe.."

As he spoke, the pro-soldier team had completed a hundred ups and downs, put on their uniforms again, and held muskets, and the drill was about to begin.

Yang Bo did dozens of push-ups, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, in the past few months, he had to play with the long knife every day, doing push-ups with the pro-soldier team, and the long-distance running was also day by day, seeing that his body was getting stronger and stronger.

"Guogong, Commander, the next step is the offensive and defensive drills, they are all real guns, we have to stay away." Yang Bo walked over and said with a smile.

As he spoke, the pro-soldier team had already set up a discrete formation, three or five people formed a group, the people in front attacked, and the people in the back acted as cover, attacking and advancing one after another, and there was a cover in the thatched pile, and there were people in the bunker who manipulated the scarecrows, and those scarecrows were the targets of the attackers.

For a while, on the high platform, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and there were bursts of shouting and killing, as if they were really fighting on the battlefield.

Yang Yipeng, who had led the soldiers, also felt frightened for a while, he turned his face and found that Xu Hongji happened to look at it too, and the two glanced at each other, with a shocked expression on their faces.

Yang Yipeng was in Banzhou, and he had a lot of dealings with the military, and it could be seen that Yang Bo was not putting on a show, on the contrary, he saw the combat power of the pro-soldier team, which was really beyond his expectations.

Yang Bo's pursuit is less and fine, not many soldiers, but all of them must be elite soldiers, today's drills, they have carried out many times, naturally they can be proficient, tactical actions are very in place.

Yang Yipeng frowned and looked at it, and suddenly remembered to try a few shots, so he said, "Yang Bo, bring a gun, Bendu... The Governor will test the quality of your robbery. ”

"Take one more, the old man's hands are itching tightly, and I have to give it a try." Xu Hongji rubbed his hands together and shouted.

Yang Bo hurriedly asked people to bring guns over, what to shoot the door, the front sight, the bolt, the insurance or something, and the precautions, all briefly explained, "This is a new type of fire, the recoil is quite strong, you two beware." ”

The two adults carried their guns and looked around for suitable targets, when several frightened birds flew into the air and flew over the heads of the people.

"Bah, bah."

Xu Yang and the two shot one after another, one bird fell in response to a terrible chirping, and the others fled in all directions, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Commander Yang, good marksmanship, the old man's side, I don't know where the guns are going, hehehehe.." Xu Hongji praised Yang Yipeng's marksmanship, scratched his eyebrows, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yang Yipeng hurriedly ran towards a thatched pile, in the grass, he found the downed seabird, the bird was beaten to a bloody blur, Yang Yipeng groped, but did not find the projectile, obviously pierced.

Yang Yipeng squatted there, stunned for a long time, but his face changed color.

This musket is not only a tap fire, in terms of range, obviously more than the bow and arrow, in terms of the rate of fire, the guns in the hands of the officers and soldiers are also unreachable, this gun also has a door and a crosshair, in terms of accuracy, the bow and arrows and the guns are difficult to match.

It's amazing, this musket is incredible.

The combat power of the pro-soldier team cannot be underestimated, it is said that Yang Bo also has a musket battalion and a marine battalion, if those soldiers have the same combat power as the pro-soldier team, wouldn't Yang Bo be invincible all over the world?

Last night, Yang Yipeng was still thinking about giving Yang Bo a chance to let him toss in Shenjiabao to see how far he could go, but he hesitated at the moment.

Yang Bo has such a fire robbery, then he has terrifying combat power, and one day, if Yang Bo and the official army face each other, the official army has not yet fired, and the people have been knocked down by Yang Bo, how can this battle be fought?

Yes, Yang Bo definitely has the ability to destroy Liu Er, but when Liu Er is destroyed, another Yang San comes out, and there is no one to control and cannot be controlled, which means that the court is subject to it.

Such a situation, as the governor of Caoyun, Yang Yipeng absolutely does not want to see.

The drill is over, everyone climbs the eagle's beak, here is the commanding height of the black stone cliff, standing on it, condescending, looking around, quite a bit of a feeling of being at the top.

To the east is the endless sea, at the foot of the black rock cliff is a bay, the wind and waves on the sea are not big, a flock of seagulls are soaring, the sound of sorrow.

"What a still sea." Yang Yipeng stretched out his arms slightly, sighed with emotion, and said.

"Hahaha.." Xu Hongji laughed, and also joked: "This coast is crooked, like a rainbow bay. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Yang Bo immediately said: "Jinghai, Hongwan, good name, I am worried that I can't find a good name here, so, the wharf that the younger generation will build in the future might as well be called Hongwan Wharf, south of the Black Stone Cliff, until the area of Shaliu in Shenjiabao, a total of more than 20,000 acres of land, is the second phase of the 'Home Owners Own House' project, called Jinghai City, okay?" ”

Everyone tasted and discussed, and everyone applauded.

"What about after the second phase?" Han Zanzhou asked.

Yang Bo sighed: "Shenjiabao is a small land after all, and after the second phase, there will be no large pieces of land available. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yipeng turned his head, glanced at Yang Bo, and suddenly said: "Yang Bo, you are not in the pool, and the pool in Shenjiabao is too shallow to hide a talent like you, if this governor hands over Haizhou to you to operate, what should you do?" ”

Yang Yipeng's words are full of temptation, do you Yang Bo accept it or not, don't accept it? It's so fake, no one will believe it, pick it up? Your Yang Bo is not small.

Yang Bo is not stupid, he did not hide his strength from Yang Yipeng, so he naturally expected that Yang Yipeng might think too much.

Yang Yipeng is the governor of Caoyun and an important minister of the imperial court, so of course he will think about it.

"Uncle, what you said is hypothetical, I guess the imperial court will not agree to hand over Haizhou to the juniors, and the juniors have never thought of this..."Yang Bo chuckled, changed his title to uncle, pointed to his feet, and said: "Uncle saw the Dutchman's Burlitham in the cave, does my uncle know, what name does the junior plan to change to it?" ”

"What's the name? Don't sell it. Xu Hongji was anxious and said angrily.

"Shenyang." Yang Bo said, looking light and breezy.

Shenyang?

What do you mean?

Shenyang is in Liaodong, but now it is in the hands of the Jurchens.

"Oh?" Yang Yipeng raised his eyebrows, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and said, "What do you mean?"

Yang Bo nodded and said with a smile: "Since my uncle asked, in the future, my uncle might as well help the younger generation mention it to the imperial court, there is a lot of land in Liaodong that falls into the hands of outsiders, if the younger generation goes there to grab some back, what about the imperial court?" ”

"Yang Bo, what are you talking about?" Han Zanzhou was unhappy, and said angrily: "You and I are both courtiers of the emperor, and it is our duty to recover the lost land for the emperor, do you still have to bargain with the court?" ”

Xu Hongji was surprised: "Yang Bo, do you really plan to recover the lost territory of Liaodong for the imperial court?" ”

Yang Bo stood with his hands in his hands and said angrily: "Shenjiabao's territory is indeed smaller, but looking at the world, whether on land or at sea, where can't the third and fourth phases be opened?" ”

"Yang Bo, can you give some of your fire robbery to the governor?" Yang Yipeng asked coldly.

"Of course." Yang Bo agreed very simply, and said bluntly: "One hundred, enough for the commander to equip a hundred guards." ”

Yang Yipeng looked at this Yang Bo deeply, and his eyes were quite meaningful.

In this way, Han Zanzhou's evaluation of Yang Bo is quite pertinent, sure enough, Yang Bo wants to support the army and respect himself, and the musket will definitely not be sold to the government at will.

What about hard pressing? I'm afraid it may not be the case.

However, it seems that Yang Bo is really as Han Zanzhou said, and he will not oppose the court at the moment, and he can still use it.
