Chapter 25 Seeking War

Seeing that there were more and more new wood-handled earth-shaking thunders and new-style tiger squat cannons made by his privately built weapons workshop, Shi Bin became more and more happy. One by one, he used the wooden handle to shake the sky and thunder to do throwing training, and used the new tiger squat cannon to do live-fire training.

Looking at Shi Bin's appearance of spending money, Wang Sancheng cried and mourned all day long, as if he was suffering the pain of cutting meat every day.

This kind of way of spending money has never been seen by Wang San since he was born, and the county magistrate's family will not spend money like this, even the Tanzhou Zhizhou family has not been so profligate.

Finally, Wang San couldn't stand Shi Bin's spending a lot of money, and mobilized several other brothers to prepare for a "group admonition". After all, most of this money comes from banditry, smuggling, and reselling goods. It takes a lot of sweat to take risks. With such a trick, before the Yuan soldiers were defeated, the army that had been built up with so much effort would collapse.

Everyone agreed with the offense against Shi Bin this time, although Shi Bin was the boss, but the team was all brothers who contributed to it, and he couldn't be allowed to do nonsense.

He was still planning how to carry out further live-fire training, and to bring the coordinated attack of various weapons and the joint attack of near and long range to a higher level, but he was suddenly admonished by the group, and Shi Bin was very unhappy.

But when Wang San took out the account book and put it in front of Shi Bin to open it, Shi Bin immediately felt pain. In less than three months, less than 6,000 taels of silver were left.

Seeing Shi Bin's surprised look, Wang San and the others didn't plan to delve into it, but just expressed the hope that he would change the training plan slightly.

Of course, Shi Bin also realized that his hand-shaking shopkeeper was indeed not good, and he had to ask about the accounts. He compromised: "Then all the soldiers will be trained with the whole wood earthquake thunder, and those who can vote accurately will be rewarded, such as eating an extra meat bun and giving an extra ten yuan of silver." But only those soldiers who are gifted in the use of artillery are trained in live ammunition, and no more than three rounds at a time. Every day all soldiers must be trained in crossbows and knives, and must be able to fight hand-to-hand without losing money. ”

Hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they smiled and walked out of Shi Bin's room.

Before I knew it, another month had passed, and both of my men were very proficient in the use of firearms. The combined use of near-range and long-range weapons has also reached a certain level, so there is no need to worry about the Yuan army coming to them with a charge without many casualties, and they will be divided and surrounded by them, followed by a one-sided slaughter.

On the contrary, before the cavalry of the Yuan army came into contact with their own short-handed troops, they would definitely suffer huge losses and greatly dampen their spirit.

Now Shi Bin has nothing to do, he goes to the armory, hoping to find some inspiration for looking at these primitive firearms, so as to make practical and more advanced firearms.

It's another sunny day, which makes people enjoy walking the most. Bathed in the warm sunshine, looking at the ancient city of Jingzhou in the distance, I am looking forward to it. I look forward to the day when I can truly experience the feeling of "making a wine glass with a human head and drinking the blood of the enemy".

Before I knew it, I walked to the door of the armory again, and the chief of the warehouse was used to this generous head to visit. You must know that every time he comes, he will give him some benefits, although sometimes it is just a few tobaccos, but no matter how small the mosquito is, there is meat, and he is still very happy.

When he entered the warehouse, he was very surprised, and most of the weapons were missing. It's war again! Shi Bin was very excited, but he was deflated in a blink of an eye, since they didn't know, it meant that their part was not on the expedition, and they still stayed in Jingzhou.

What to do? Shi Bin, who returned to the camp, was a little helpless. You must know that this is an army, and you can still find an excuse to suppress bandits in the vicinity, and if you go out without authorization, you will rebel and lose your head.

Seeing Shi Bin's depressed look, Wang San inquired about the specific situation, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Big brother is really a well-behaved person, this matter is not difficult." ”

Isn't it difficult? Is it good to spend money again? Shi Bin was surprised to hear Wang San's words, and seemed to be confident. But Meng Heng is a contemporary famous general, and his official reputation is good, besides, does such a big general care about his few taels of silver?

"Big brother, don't you wonder why I'm so confident?" Looking at him with a puzzled face, Wang San asked with a smile.

"Of course, this army is not as good as going to the civilian system as a staff member, and Mao recommends himself." Shi Bin said worriedly. After all, fighting a war is a matter of life and death for hundreds of people, not the life or death of a few people.

"It turns out that the eldest brother has long thought of 'Mao Sui self-recommendation', do you think there is no suitable excuse?" Wang San asked, "At this point, I just got a good excuse, but it was just a little risky. ”

"What are you afraid of risk, you and my brother are not afraid of death, but what risk are you afraid of! Come on, be smart! Shi Bin shouted.

"Big brother knows? It turns out that Meng Dutong is not a serious person! Wang San smiled slyly.

Hearing Wang San's words, Shi Bin felt as if he had been slammed by someone, and immediately covered Wang San's mouth, and opened his mouth to shout: "Virtuous brother, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Wang San looked at Shi Bin's appearance and explained that today he went to the tavern in the city to drink, but he accidentally ran into several people from other camps, but they were all middle and senior officers such as commanders and generals.

However, after learning that Wang San went north to assassinate Daru Huachi's warriors, he also left him to drink with him, but he inadvertently said one thing that Meng Heng did in the Jin court after destroying Jin———— raped Jin Empress with 19 generals. And there is "After Tasting Picture" as evidence. {Historians dispute this, but this picture is real}

Hearing this, Shi Bin was even more like an electric shock, and his mind was blank for a long time. Soon came back to his senses and thought that the Jin general Wanyan Zonghan had raped the Empress of the Northern Song Dynasty, but now Empress Jin was raped by Meng Heng, it was really a report and a report, which made people feel very comfortable.

Seeing Wang San's cunning appearance, Shi Bin immediately understood his intentions. smiled: "Brother is really my Wolong and phoenix, hahaha!" ”

The two agreed to use this as a breakthrough to "self-recommend".

Meng Heng is mostly in the mansion at night, but not everyone can enter this gate. Since it wasn't so easy to get in, I had to let Meng Heng see their determination.

Shi Bin wanted to emulate Yue Wumu and tattoo "Jing Zhong to serve the country" on his back. Shi Bin thinks it's inappropriate, it's too uninspiring, and Meng Heng can't see it when he stabs him on his back?

Soon Wang San said: "The younger brother has a plan, which should be feasible." ”

Shi Bin knew that Wang San was resourceful, and motioned for him to speak up quickly.

"I once made a crooked poem, which should be available here." I'd rather be a brave ghost than a cowardly soul.'" Wang San smiled and said, "Let's go to Lord Meng's mansion and shoot this poem into the mansion with an arrow with the head off, and then kneel at the door to plead guilty." ”

After hearing this, Shi Bin felt that it was indeed feasible, and immediately followed the plan the next day. As a result, kneeling at the door and taking less than a cup of tea, he was recruited into the house to "ask for guilt".

Entering the small hall, Meng Heng said: "I'd rather die for the brave ghost than for the cowardly soul." It's really good poetry. ”

The two were about to be humble and thank Meng Heng for his praise, but Meng Heng suddenly changed his face and shouted: "You two are so bold, do you know how much of a crime it is to cross the level like this?" ”

"You know, though you will not die, you will receive fifty sticks. Death is not far away. Shi Bin replied in a low voice.

"It seems that your two brothers are not afraid of these fifty military sticks! It seems that the ignorant are fearless. Come on, pull these two things down for me, beat the ten military sticks to taste the taste, and then bring them over! ”

Two guards immediately came in outside the door, but Shi Bin and the others did not resist and walked out calmly with them.

It didn't take long for the execution to end, and the ten military sticks were indeed very painful, but it seemed that the skin and flesh were rotten but they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, and they could still walk normally.

Entering the small hall again, Meng Heng's voice softened: "You two are loyal, but the official still doesn't plan to let you go." If you go to this office, you are disregarding human life, unless you can give me a reasonable reason. ”

Hearing this, Wang San immediately happily talked about what he heard in the restaurant, and hoped to take Meng Dutong as an example and one day get a "Taste After Picture" out, but it was the queen of the Yuan Dynasty.

Meng Hui naturally knew about this "After Tasting Picture", but he didn't intend to explain it, whether there was it or not, this kind of thing would only get darker and darker.

However, he couldn't let these guys talk nonsense, and immediately feigned anger: "Bastard! Are you a man who knows only pleasure in Pontus? Tell me who is chewing the root of your tongue there, and there is a half-lie that will definitely beat you two to the point that you can't get out of bed for half a year! ”

Of course, Wang San knew that this was Meng Heng's warning words, and he immediately said, "Your Excellency is a magnanimous person, how can you care about such nonsense? I apologize for those guys who don't know the depths, and please don't care. ”

Meng Heng said that these things were not in the hands of Shi Bin and Wang San, and urged them to tell them as soon as possible that they dared to risk death and skip the level of reporting.

Shi Bin talked about the new wood-handled sky-shaking thunder and tiger squat cannon he had developed, and explained their usage. Call it a "special weapon of war".

Of course, Meng Hui, a veteran of the battlefield, would not believe this so-called "special war weapon" after listening to Shi Bin's few words, so he asked for a live-fire exercise.

The two of them waited for this sentence, and immediately recruited a few entourages with new firearms outside the mansion. Ordered them to go to the martial arts arena to demonstrate the power of the wooden handle earth-shaking thunder and the new tiger squat cannon, which of course surprised Meng Hui very much.

But he still feigned anger, and reprimanded Shi Bin and agreed to their request. However, there is one condition: only one attempt is allowed, otherwise it will be dealt with according to military law, and let them go underground to resist the Yuan.

It is a big crime to report to a higher level, and it is also a big crime to make weapons privately, and now Meng Heng not only does not pursue the responsibility but can also agree to the request of the two, the Shi Bin brothers are naturally overjoyed, how dare they brush Meng Heng's tiger whiskers again?

Immediately promise to never attempt to attack again, and return immediately regardless of the outcome. Besides, the power and stability of one's new weapons can only be known through actual combat, and it is better to follow Meng Heng's instructions.

When leaving, he said that if he could provide them with some military horses, he would be able to form a cavalry artillery unit as a special operations unit, which would not only have good lethality, but also greatly increase mobility, and could achieve rapid attacks and safe evacuation.

There weren't so many good horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, so they were naturally vetoed by Meng Heng immediately. I'm a little disappointed, but I'm very happy to be able to qualify.

Although the two believed that Meng Heng would keep his word, they were afraid that Meng Heng would break his promise, so they left Meng's mansion immediately without making a short stay.
