The beaten retreated to Jinchuanmen, and scattered in the corners of various houses, and by the time Li Dingguo received the news, his most desperate brothers had already rushed back to Jinchuanmen.

There's something bad going on here.

It turned out that Li Dingguo did not have the problem of preparing food, but after arriving in Nanjing, all the ships were given Zhuangxing wine, and everyone was given a sip of wine, as well as a variety of food that was barely hot, not to mention protein and nutrition, that is, to fill the stomach, the original idea, after entering the city, there were people and rich families everywhere, and it was not difficult to find grain shops and restaurants.

But now, in a panic, people are running around like headless flies, and they are tired and hungry, and they can basically no longer continue to fight.

Of course, both sides are rookies pecking each other, and the Nanjing side is not without jokes about throwing grenades that have not yet been lit directly, but the Zuo Jiajun, who originally thought that they had made a fortune, had more problems, and it can be said that neither side was the foundation of a strong army.

Zuo Liangyu has almost no foundation in Wuchang, he relies on selling chrysanthemums to get promoted, where is the real bloody man willing to follow such a shameful boss, so the people left by Zuo Liangyu are basically the worst goods, which is not unimaginable.

And those generals and schoolmen, although they look majestic, but in the end they have lived comfortably for many years, with wine and meat, spending money every month, saving to be a wife, it can be said that there is no worry, maybe the muscles and size are not small, even stronger than their opponents, but the desperate strength is gone.

Don't look at Zuo Mengeng's troops, the number is large, the situation is fierce, but it is just a group of rabble, neither rules and tactics, but also no military morale, this kind of service to the so-called officers and soldiers, but there is no management, even inferior to the Boxers, at least the Boxers are not afraid of death, so after encountering the attack of the grenade rain, it is normal for all to think that they are cowardly and run away.

And after discovering the power of the grenade, although it was only for a short time, it was enough.

These people are basically only equipped with swords, and even the firearms are just a little bit, so they are far inferior to others in terms of firepower, but through the battle just now, they have basically figured out the characteristics of the weapons of the Nanjing garrison's counterattack, and they themselves are all hurriedly coming up to open the film, and after the grenade blows up the enemy's formation, and then goes over to make up the knife, they basically have no courage, and they have no accuracy, and they are not afraid.

The actual casualties caused would not even make a veteran frown, but the panic was palpable.

Although the garrisons in Nanjing City are all weak chickens among weak chickens, it is not so easy for the otaku with a combat strength of only 1 goose to catch chickens and kill chickens, and the Nanjing garrisons in other places have also rushed back one after another, except for the Jinchuan Gate, which has leaked, the other gates have been closed in a panic, after all, in order to get a quick picture, Li Dingguo almost rushed to the Jinchuan Gate, and even did not take care of the other city gates.

After receiving that the people in the city suddenly used a large number of weapons such as palm mines, they could still directly hold them in their hands and throw them at a distance of more than ten meters to kill people, Li Dingguo did not suspect anything else, but he knew that Nanjing City had gathered a lot of craftsmen, although they were deliberately oppressed and oppressed by the civil official group and fled, but there were a lot of foundations here.

However, at this time, Li Dingguo was not in a hurry to enter the army, but planned to make a bigger operation, at this time, half of the ships behind were still following behind, and the fleets that lacked waterway research in this era were basically like this, and it was normal to stretch for many miles.

So he immediately ordered all the ships to continue to speed up and dock, and when all the troops had arrived, he would encircle and attack again, and completely defeat the troops in Nanking in one fell swoop.

Once the turtle shrinks, the Jinchuan Gate can be called an iron wall, and Li Dingguo is not without firearms, not to mention that our Young Master Zuo Mengeng himself is a person in the official army, and he will not be unable to get firearms.

However, Li Dingguo was ready to attack together, but those with grenades took the initiative to withdraw the troops, and only part of the grenades sold by the Zhan Shi Gang to the Nanjing garrison were sent to those families, and then under the teaching of several military advisers, they learned the knowledge of these firearms in ignorance. Make a big profit in the nearby shops.

Those instructors also ignored this, in their education, there were no soldiers in Jiangnan, only the minions and eagle dogs recruited by Confucian students to abuse the common people, and no matter how they oppressed the people, it would not be surprising.

Of course, the range of these murderous arsons is not large, and although they are more expensive in general, it is simply beautiful to be able to defeat the enemy by throwing grenades.

Although the instructor said that according to the drill code, after using grenades to break the enemy's line, followed by a sworn raid under the leadership of the officer, in this case it is almost possible to use ten people to break a hundred people.

Of course, such a fierce general basically does not exist in Jiangnan, and if he did, he would have been killed by the literati long ago.

Of course, in the same case, the number of grenades is not enough.

20,000 grenades, it sounds like a lot, but when it comes to distribution, it is all families who want to lower their waists, it turns out that in the eyes of the gentry in Nanjing, although the people from the imperial capital do not read the Four Books and Five Classics, they can be called the lowest barbarians, but there are a lot of tricks and tricks, and firearms are naturally good.

Every family wants it, even the town guards the eunuch's mansion have to go 1,000 pieces, but the one that is really used in Jinchuan Gate is only 5,000 pieces, and the usage is improper, of course, each man holding twenty pieces is already the limit of physical strength, and he has to force it to be.

Since the people have returned to Jinchuanmen, they are naturally not interested in fighting over, after all, their firearms are also lit and ready to start fighting.

But this kind of moment is still a thief is not empty, after all, such a murder, arson, robbery, rape but can be blamed on the anti-thief There are not many opportunities, in fact, many examples can show that many times both Dashun and Daxi do not have so much effort to kill people and set fires, but the officers and soldiers who are slowly pursuing behind are not hesitating to slaughter the village.

Of course, there is also a problem here, a few thugs were the first to break into the city, but they were separated from their companions, knowing that backup could not come, so they hid in a courtyard, but they met the family members who came in to rob under the banner of search.

These family members naturally robbed while rummaging, but they didn't expect to meet real people, they all had grenades at hand, and this deteriorated version of the grenade will not only fail in about a hundred days, but also need to light the fire in advance and then ignite it, of course, this is all deliberate by the evil imperial capital arms dealers.

The result of fighting each other was naturally all wiped out, but these soldiers returned to Jinchuan Gate at night after searching for these grenades.

At the time of dinner, Li Dingguo and Zuo Mengeng have already begun to occupy the Jinchuan Gate, turning this place into an important support point, due to Hou Fangyu's bad mind, there is still a lot of food here, and the two ships outside the city are also a large number of existence, this is also the butterfly effect of the elders, because the elders are trying their best to get rid of the dependence on the grain in Jiangnan, so the rich food in Jiangnan has increased.

Of course, don't think that this grain will be sold to the common people cheaply, for the rulers of Jiangnan, the common people are just slave laborers who do not need to be paid, playthings for their amusement, and they have never been people.

Although there is an extra million stone level of grain, the life of the people in Jiangnan is only a little better, and the reason is actually very simple.

In later generations, there was a saying that a dairy farm with 2,000 cows produced 2,000 tons of milk per month, and these milk were supplied to the citizens and farmers in the surrounding villages, and the milk was sold for $500 per ton, and the production cost per ton of milk was $300, so the farmer could earn $400,000 a month.

The farmer's son went home from college, poured 1,000 tons of fragrant milk into the sea, then slaughtered 1,000 cows, laid off some workers, and rented out the surplus pasture and cattle farm, so that the monthly production cost could be reduced to 300,000 yuan, and the price of milk became 2,000 US dollars a ton, and the monthly net profit was 1.7 million US dollars!

For the rich, a fourfold increase in the price of milk is nothing more than a matter of indifference, while for the poor it is a luxury that must be calculated and then given up to let their sons drink milk.

In the same way, suddenly a large amount of grain poured into the market, but the price of grain was slightly lower than in previous years, and the surplus grain was naturally sold to other places by all means.

This is the reason why Li Dingguo can intercept so many grain ships along the way, of course, it really shows that robbing is not enough, after all, Daxi has gradually evolved to the point of the imperial court, although it is not recognized by the outside world, but it is also the bottom line behavior to not be able to rob openly, and his idea is naturally that when the time comes, the wealth in the city will flow out, although it will flow a little, it will be enough to buy food.

Not to mention anything else, the countryside in this era is really rich, and according to Zuo Menggeng's plan, he will send people to "fight the grass valley" and collect grain.

However, when those soldiers worked hard to bring back these grenades with blood, Li Dingguo looked at them, but he began to become angry.

It turns out that although the small words on it are strangely shaped, they are so clear: Produced by Northern Heavy Industries.

The saber he carries with him now is also sold by Northern Heavy Industries!

The reason why Li Dingguo was willing to come to Jiangnan instead of going south to Guangdong with a few righteous brothers was that he hoped to go to the north to purchase a batch of weapons after obtaining the wealth of Jiangnan.

But now, this kind of arms is actually used on his head, which makes him shudder, Li Dingguo doesn't know what is called "weapon-only theory", although there are countless people who say that if a coward or a woman or child is armed with a magic weapon, he can't beat a martial arts master, but he never thinks that if two people with similar strength fight, then the one who survives is almost the one with better equipment.

He asked how to use this weapon continuously, in fact, as a specially made version of the grenade, although it was used in the amount of fragments and explosives, but in the face of a basically blind customer group, it still took a lot of thought about how to use it, first of all, the burning time of the wire is fifteen seconds on average, which gives people enough time to escape, and then the ignition will explode, and it is necessary to open the lid in advance, unless it is thrown into the fire, otherwise it is unlikely to spontaneously combust.

Of course, Li Dingguo, who has not yet known the terrible price of this thing, immediately imagined the value of this thing, although on the frontal battlefield, it is almost impossible for these grenades to have a chance to play, but once it comes to hand-to-hand combat, then the power is too great.

Compared with the 10,000 enemies, palm thunder and the like, the former is too bulky, the latter is equivalent to a cannon, basically difficult to launch, the 10,000 enemies are usually in the defense of the city, the people at the head of the city see that there are more people climbing and attacking the city, so they directly push this thing down, the power is probably limited than the strength of ordinary grenades, but its cost and bulkiness make it a cost-effective weapon.

And a firearm that is powerful enough to be held in his hand at any time, Li Dingguo recalled countless fights with weapons, when he raised his knife and rushed with his brothers to the families who were guarding the homes of the landlords, those people suddenly threw out such a thing......

Or a dead body, pretending to be dead, he passed by and suddenly exploded.

Of course, the situation is getting better and better.

There are not many skills that can throw grenades, as a reactionary backwardness can be ranked in the forefront of the late Ming Dynasty, just as if the national army wants to fight, it needs to bribe the quartermaster to get a weapon, and there are soldiers in troubled times who are the king of grass.

As a typical example of undisciplined conduct, it seems that the people in Nanjing still do not know the shelf life of these grenades for this arms export......

In their opinion, it is all a blank check anyway, if Nanjing City is lost, then there will be nothing left, 150,000 taels, not much, but although things are used well, they are too fast.

And Li Dingguo understood the weakness of the grenade almost immediately.

Wall battles are a very patient thing.

The ancient city of Nanjing is a big city, in the process of completion, Zhu Yuanzhang fully proved that an orphan, a beggar, love for future generations is afraid of their image of their grandfather, for this big city in the process of defense is simply taken into account, under the conditions at that time, as long as the defenders are enough, want to break through the big city, it is impossible to do without paying ten times the casualties of the defenders.

However, the dialectic that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of was...... Once your capital is threatened with siege, it means how far your rule has come!

Under such a ruling ability, just as Zhang Xianzhong broke Chengdu in three days, and Yangzhou guarded by Shi Kefa broke in one day, it shows what the situation is, not only the problem of combat effectiveness, but the people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to bring, people don't know what the city will be like, but the current state of life seems to be not enough to protect with life.
