Chapter 368: The new commander of the rocket battalion
Zhu Shun, the industrial uncle, is the benevolent prince of Mangui, but the guerrilla generals in the yamen of the general army are the uncles of Mandanchen, where will these proud soldiers care about those nobles who lie in the shadow of their ancestors and enjoy happiness, they will only do the responsibility of an uncle.
The guerrilla generals understood Man Gui's temper, had clear grievances and grievances, and would repay kindness, and gave up this old life to complete the entrustment of the engong Zhu Shun.
It can't be stopped, and Zhu Shun's reputation in the bottom border army is not low because of the potato flour and Shuntian's large distribution, and the method of agitating the sergeants cannot be used.
The guerrilla generals, however, had another way, as long as they stopped the messenger who was going to the capital to deliver the concerto, and delayed it for a month.
In this month's time, as long as the silver is given enough, the great eunuch Gao Qiqian should be able to help Man Danchen find a thousand households in brocade clothes.
In the afternoon of the same day, Man Gui selected a relatively calm Qianzong family member and went to the capital with his handwritten recommendation note.
Riding to the gate, a guerrilla general shouted: "Take this spy down on the general." ”
Ding Leng of the Qianzong family was on the Liaodong horse, and he still had the important things entrusted by the old man, and said urgently: "Brothers, I am ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was whipped on the armor by the guerrilla general with a Yanling knife, fell off the war horse, knocked a hole in his head, and instantly flowed out a stream of blood.
Because this Qianzong is Mangui's pro-Ding, the Liaodong border army guarding the city gate also knows him, and he has drunk together a few times, so he didn't dare to step forward to arrest this Qianzong.
The guerrilla general shouted again: "Don't tie him up yet, let go of the Liaodong spy Lao Tzu and chop off your head." ”
When the Liaodong border army heard that the guerrilla general was going to chop off their heads, they quickly took out a rope and tied the Qianzong into zongzi, and sent him to his house in Shanhaiguan instead of the Shanhaiguan prison according to the guerrilla general's orders.
The guerrilla general personally locked up this Qianzong in the firewood room, arranged for more than a dozen relatives to look at him deadly, and left satisfied, to give the others good news and drink a few cups by the way.
The unlucky Qian Zong was locked up in such a daze, and he was locked up for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, a guerrilla general of medium stature rushed into Shanhaiguan and entered the Yamen of the General Army.
Although this elite guerrilla general was only a guerrilla, his faction was even older than Zu Dashou, the deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and he broke into the public house where the chief soldier lived.
The strange thing is that from the yamen to the public office behind, there are many Guanning iron cavalry patrolling along the way, and with the recklessness of the Guanning iron cavalry, Zu Dashou has to wait honestly at the gate of the general army Yamen to wait for the report.
But none of the Guan Ning iron horsemen stopped this thorn, but kept saluting, and the expression on his face was extremely respectful.
This guerrilla general was none other than Cao Wenzhao, who was stationed at Dalinghe Fort, and he didn't come here today to find fault, because he didn't know that the messenger of General Qian had been detained.
Not only him, but Man Gui was also in the dark, not knowing that the Qian Zong who was responsible for delivering the chapter did not go out of the gate of Shanhaiguan.
Cao Wenzhao walked into the public office, and Man Gui was practicing the gun technique in the open space in the backyard, holding a doumi-style rifle that he had snatched from Cao Wenzhao, and firing at an arrow target.
Man Gui heard the movement behind him, vigilantly touched his waist knife and turned to look over, and saw that the person who came was actually Cao Wenzhao, and he was even more vigilant.
Holding the Doumi rifle tightly, he stared at Cao Wenzhao, who was striding over, and said, "Old Cao, this firearm has been given to the general, don't want to take it away, you kid." ”
If this had been placed in the past, not to mention a firearm, even a buckshot would not have given Man Gui, and a buckshot would be precious to the poor clanging Cao Wenzhao.
Now, since the second brother founded Cao's Weaving Factory, his old Cao is also a wealthy family.
Cao Wenzhao glanced at Man Gui with disdain: "Lao Man, you are a general soldier, look at your little interest, isn't it just a firecracker, and I will let my sister-in-law send you a few cars when I turn around." ”
It's not that Man Gui hasn't seen good things, it's just that this new type of firearm is powerful and terrifying, and there is only a group of Zhu Shun's brother-in-law Cao Wenzhao in the entire Liaodong Border Army.
The other Liaodong generals have not even mixed up a flintlock smoothbore gun so far, after all, according to the point system, at least a thousand Jiannu's heads must be cut off in exchange for a batch of flintlock smoothbore guns.
Who in the Liaodong border army did not envy Cao Wenzhao, and envied that he had an established firecracker, all of which were used Doumi-style rifles.
I was even more envious that Cao Wenzhao had found a good sister-in-law, in addition to this doumi rifle, my sister-in-law also sent him a batch of rockets.
This new type of firearm, called rocket, almost bulldozed an important town in Jiannu a few years ago without spending a single soldier.
When Man Gui heard this, it didn't matter if it was true or not, anyway, he had already heard it, it was true, and Cao Wenzhao didn't want to repent: "Lao Cao, this is what you said, if you dare to repent, Lao Tzu will deduct your salary." ”
Of course, Cao Wenzhao will not regret it, because after a period of time, he will not ask Man Gui for the kind of flintlock smoothbore gun that has been eliminated: "Okay, okay, don't regret it, let's not talk about this matter first, ask you something." ”
Man Gui was immersed in the joy of transporting a few truckloads of flintlock muskets, and said casually: "You say." ”
At this time, other guerrilla generals happened to come over together, and when they heard that Cao Wenzhao had broken into the yamen of the general army, they thought that Cao Wenzhao had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so they immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over.
Cao Wenzhao glanced at the guerrilla generals who came together strangely, and laughed: "Lao Man, you are lucky." ”
"My sister-in-law recruited a team of village warriors, you should know, and recently I wanted to send Ding Jiao to be a commander, and the position of this rocket battalion was vacant."
"My sister-in-law wants to let your youngest son Man Danchen be the commander of the rocket battalion, and let Ben come over and ask you what you mean."
After saying this, Cao Wenzhao looked at the guerrilla generals, thinking that he could see surprise on their faces, but who would have thought that the expressions on their faces would be even more strange.
There was no surprise or excitement, but a hint of embarrassment.
Cao Wenzhao couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that Man Danchen also died in battle, and Man Gui was gone?
If Man Danchen is still alive, the surprise and excitement in the hearts of the robed brothers of Man Gui is definitely no less than that of Man Gui.
After all, Zhu Shun, the industrial uncle, not only wants to teach the family heirloom of military art training the rocket battalion to Man Danchen, but more importantly, he is the industrial uncle's own family from now on.
It will also be possible to buy a large number of Daming Arms Company's doumi-style rifles, and even a batch of rockets.
The reaction of the guerrilla generals was very strange, but Man Gui's reaction made Cao Wenzhao very proud: "Promise, how can you not agree, today I will let that kid go to the capital." ”
Hearing that he would go to the capital today, a guerrilla general said that there was still no army to deal with, and hurriedly left the yamen of the general army and hurried back to his house.
The guerrilla general rushed all the way to the door of the house, kicked the locked door, and the door only shook a few times and then stopped moving.
The guerrilla general ignored the embarrassment and shouted, "Don't hurry up and open the door." ”
A pro-Ding Xiaoqi immediately opened the firewood door, held down the Yanling knife on his waist, and prepared to slaughter the Qianzong under the order of the master.
Who would have thought that the guerrilla general would send away the still confused Mr. Qian as if he were his own father, and send him to leave Shanhaiguan and go to the capital as soon as possible.
