Chapter 29: The Good Life (17)

The first rays of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the courtyard, and the ground was glowing with gold. Zheng Yu stretched his waist, yawned, and opened the door. The sun hitting the face makes the eyes a little uncomfortable. Closed his eyes tightly for a while, and opened them again, and saw Wang Ying and others standing in the courtyard one by one, and when he saw himself coming out, Wang Ying stepped forward, bowed down and said loudly: "Wang Ying and his brothers, a total of fifteen people, are willing to follow Zheng Gongzi from now on. If there is any betrayal, the sky will thunder. Everyone bowed down and repeated Wang Ying's words.

Zheng Yu was caught off guard, looking at the scene in front of him, he was really a little excited, and thought to himself: "Hahaha, Lao Tzu still has a bit of personality charm!" Walked forward, picked up Wang Ying, who was still bending down, and then went around behind him, and helped everyone up one by one, each person Zheng Yu learned from the leaders of later generations, or pinched the other party's arm, or patted the other party's shoulder, and nodded heavily at the same time.

Zheng Yu looked around, cleared his throat and said loudly: "I, Zheng Yu, thank my brothers for their trust, in the future, I will share blessings with you, share difficulties, and never abandon life and death." The crowd responded.

"Thank you, owner!"

Call Zheng Xing to arrange a long-term residence for everyone. There are still many vacant houses in Zhuangzi, and people can live in them with a little tidying up. And explained to everyone, rest for two days first, take care of the injuries on your body, and then talk about it, you can find Zheng Xing to solve anything during the period. He hurried to the glass workshop.

Mr. Gou heard all about yesterday's events, and sighed with emotion about the power of the clay pot called **. Zheng Yu said: "Uncle Yuanshan, this incident reminded me that we don't mess with people, it doesn't mean that others don't come to find trouble, if there is another time, I really don't know if I will be so lucky." Therefore, I plan to use Wang Ying and others as the full-time escort force of our Zhuangzi now, and not engage in any production activities. ”

After hearing this, Mr. Gou said that he should be. Zheng Yu also explained to Mr. Gou the plan and specific implementation methods of transforming the saline-alkali land and transforming the Zhuangzi concrete, and told him that except for Wang Ying, other people would be transferred with him, but he must arrange enough production manpower for Master Bai. Then he called the blacksmith Master Liu and pulled out his handcuffs.

"Three masters, can you recognize this thing?" Mr. Gou was also looking forward to it, and the other two blacksmiths frowned and shook their heads, and Master Liu took it in his hand and looked at it for himself for a while, and then spoke.

"Isn't this a stub handcuff? But it is different from the kind commonly used in our army, how to shoot where there is no place to place the arquebus? ”

Zheng Yu and Mr. Gou glanced at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes. Zheng Yu hurriedly asked.

"How can Master Liu know this thing, and it seems to be quite proficient in it."

Master Liu smiled helplessly and said, "When I was serving in the past, I was requisitioned by the government to build a firecracker, and I was later promoted to a master craftsman to supervise the construction of firecrackers. If it hadn't been for the later revelation that the dog official had withheld the materials and was framed by the dog official, he would not have ended up where he is today."

It's really a person who can't look like a person, and the sea can't fight!! I didn't expect a small farm to hide the dragon and crouching tiger!

"Master Liu. If you were given enough materials, equipment, and manpower, a hundred times better steel than it is now, would you be able to build a firecracker? Of course, it must be much more advanced than the one in front of you. ”

When Master Liu heard this, he was a little excited, and even shortness of breath, and said: "Since I was promoted to a master craftsman, my lifelong dream is to create the best firecracker, equip it with my Ming army, and let my Ming army use the firearm I made to expand the territory and become famous all over the world." It's a pity that corrupt officials are in charge, and corrupt officials are rampant. If the son can fulfill my wishes, I am willing to do so! After speaking, he was about to kneel, Zheng Yu hurriedly held on, thinking: "This problem of kneeling at every turn is really unbearable, I have to find a way to make them change." ”

"Master Liu must not be like this, we are all for Zhuangzi and for Daming. Since Master Liu agreed, the chief steward will provide you with all the corresponding technical materials and manpower, and the equipment needs to be manufactured by ourselves, I suggest that you start with the most basic steelmaking, if you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"Gongzi Xie!" After speaking, Master Liu led the other two blacksmiths to leave first. Zheng Yu said to Mr. Gou again.

"Uncle Yuanshan, the first thing now is to transform the saline-alkali land, only by having more fields and growing more food, can we do other things with peace of mind, considering that concrete needs to be used during the period, so the construction of the workshop should also be carried out simultaneously, you look at the arrangement." Mr. Gou thought so deeply and nodded yes.

Zheng Yu came out of the workshop and went straight to the residence of Wang Ying and others. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Liu Bao was also there, pestering Wang Ying and not knowing what he was talking about, standing at the door.

"Liu Bao? Why don't you go to work and hang around here? Everyone saw Zheng Yu hurriedly enter the courtyard, and Zheng Yu sat in the middle of the crowd. At this time, Liu Bao walked over with a look of grievance.

"Young master, I don't want to dig in the soil every day in the wind and rain, I want to learn the skills of the army from Brother Wang, kill the Mongols in the future, and avenge my father and mother!"

"Kill the Mongols for revenge? Your father and mother died at the hands of the Mongols? ”

"My father used to be in the fur business, and once took me and my mother out to Mongolia to buy goods, and met Mongolian Tatar soldiers on the way, and took my father and mother away. My mother risked her life to hide me in a grass nest, and I was spared. After escaping back, he fainted and died at the gate of Zhuangzi and was rescued by the people of Zhuangzi. It's been six years, and the life and death of your father and mother are uncertain, and I have asked many people but have never heard of them, and I guess they are no longer there," he said, wiping away tears.

After Zheng Yu listened, he said in his heart, this is sympathy! Then he said: "In this case, don't bother your brother Wang, young master, I also have some skills, you can follow me, how about it"

Hearing Zheng Yu's words, Liu Bao's child's crying face instantly turned happy, making the sadness just now the same as pretending, and then said in surprise: "Really??" ”

Zheng Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Really, doesn't it matter if I said this?" Go, your first task, go and call the tributary. ”

Liu Bao's face was full of surprise, and he said loudly: "Respect the young master's order" and then ran to find Zheng Tai.

Looking at Liu Bao's departing figure, Zheng Yu shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said to Wang Ying: "Brother Wang, I think you can also see it now, the team of more than 30 people yesterday was temporarily pretended by Zhuang Min. Everyone laughed awkwardly when they heard this. Zheng Yu also laughed with everyone, and then continued.

"I want to wait for the brothers to be healed, and then draw fifteen young men from the Zhuangzi to form a real escort team, a total of thirty people. It's up to you to lead. You have also seen the power of the short gun in my hand, so I plan to equip you with a new type of firearm, and this training method is different from any of the previous ones, and all of them must be based on the new ones. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added. Saying that, he gave Wang Ying the copied training methods of the modern army's physical fitness, queues, and three-person assassination team.

Wang Ying didn't think so at first, but because of the owner's face, he opened it and looked at it. Slowly, the more I looked, the more frightened I became. Connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. looked at Zheng Yudao incredulously.

"Young Master, where did you get this magical body forging technique? Assassination Coordination Technique? I have nothing to add, I just want to inform the young master that I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear such intense training. ”

"Hehe, brother Wang, don't worry, I will cooperate with the arrangement in terms of food, and all the escort personnel will have corresponding meat and eggs every day to meet the needs of training."

Wang Ying was moved in his heart, if he failed such a master, it would really be intolerable, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the young master can rest assured, Wang Ying will definitely train an invincible escort team for the young master."
