Chapter 16: Song Jiang Strikes

The first pot of molten iron smelted by the steel mill is close to the steel of modern society in terms of quality, and when I learned the news, Zhang Yang was moved by the 'tears', and it was not easy to make a special code, it took three months before and after, and now it finally refines the qualified steel, and the emperor finally lives up to his wishes.

The next day, Zhang Yang secretly established the 'Advanced Weapons Manufacturing Bureau' in Zhangfu, with Ma Han in charge, leading more than a dozen orphans to make flintlock rifled guns! Of course, judging from the current situation, it is almost enough to build 2,000 of them, and when you have the power of the army in your hands in the future, it is not too late to manufacture them in batches.

And throughout the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yang was not idle, flintlock pistols have been produced in small batches, and the training of personnel has become the focus again.

Fortunately, the personnel are ready-made, the security guards in the factory are basically trained according to the requirements of the soldiers, and the age of sixteen or seventeen is the time when the sky is not afraid of the earth, and after such a long period of 'education', these young men are eager to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately! Now that I have such a powerful weapon, I have to hold it in my arms when I sleep at night.

And this is what Zhang Yang is happy to see.

After more than a month of high-intensity training, everyone was trained to form a muscle response, and the tactics of lining up and shooting were also perfected. The new army of 500 people will become the strongest force in this era!

The time entered the second half of January, and Zhang Long sent news again that Song Jiang's rebel army had begun to attack Suqian County!

Suqian County is only a few dozen miles away from Shuyang County, and according to the speed of their march, they can reach Shuyang in a day at most. At this time, Zhang Yang's nerves are highly tense, this battle is related to his future road, he can only succeed, not fail!

He sent his family to inquire about the news as soon as possible, recalled Zhang Long, and held a swearing-in meeting at the same time!

In order to ensure victory in the first battle, Zhang Yang ordered Mahan to urgently produce two 75mm smoothbore guns! The entire Shuyang entered a state of emergency under Zhang Yang's command.

Although Zhang Yang also used the high-tech of drones brought by modern society, the training of personnel was also very important, so he basically sent out all the family members who could ride horses.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, Zhang Yang, who was impatient, suddenly saw a few cavalrymen in fancy clothes coming along the screen along the water!

Zhang Yang knew at a glance that this was not his own family, because considering the hidden relationship, Zhang Yang's family members were all wearing uniform dry yellow digital camouflage.

And a mile away from these rebel scouts, the flamboyant family members quietly followed, and it was obvious that the family members had already discovered them, but they did not fight them in strict accordance with their own requirements, and deliberately let them in.

Several rebel scouts did not go to Shuyang City, but went straight to their old nest 'Zhangjiazhuang'!

Obviously, some time ago, the method of publicizing himself as super rich has worked.

Because these rebels have no base of their own, they can only fight to feed the war, and they can still get supplies when they encounter weak resistance in the county seats, and if they encounter resolute resistance, they can only make a detour and continue to flow...

And a rich man like Zhang Yang is simply a super fat pig in the eyes of the rebels! It doesn't take much effort to reap the rewards handsomely.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang slapped his thigh excitedly, grandma's, I'm not afraid of you coming, I'm afraid you won't come!

A few scouts were very organized, and after going around Zhangjiazhuang a few times, they looked very excited, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this kind of thing.

A few scouts did not stop, and rushed towards Suqian County after beating their horses.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, in order to make these people take the bait as much as possible, Zhang Yang even deliberately built the granary very conspicuously, how could these scouts not be tempted in their eyes!

According to Zhang Yang's estimate, the rebel army that got the news is likely to start tonight, and tomorrow will usher in a fierce battle.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang immediately ordered everyone to take turns to rest, recuperate and save taxes, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

At the same time, in the county magistrate's mansion in Suqian County, several scouts excitedly reported information to the black-faced man sitting in the first seat.

"Big leader, the rumor is true, I went to Zhangjiazhuang to investigate, although the doors of every house are closed, but many people's houses are repaired very beautifully, this Zhangjiazhuang is indeed rich!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme, I've never seen such a rich Zhuangzi when I'm so old!"

"And the yard of that big family is very large, and I also saw the rumored big granary, obediently, I have weak legs when I see it."

The gossip reports of several scouts, although they are all one-sided, one thing is very clear - this Zhuangzi is very rich!

"God help me Song Jiang!"

The black-faced man on the first seat was Song Jiang, at this time he listened to the scout's report, and was overjoyed, in his opinion, this Zhuangzi is the meat on the chopping board, as long as his army arrives, he can eat it in his mouth immediately.

It's no wonder that he is so arrogant, it's all used to by officers and soldiers! The Great Song Dynasty was lax, and the local army was even more unbearable. Let them catch a petty thief and make up a job, if they really want to go to the battlefield to fight, they will make up the number.

Otherwise, how could a small Liangshanbo uprising develop into the current 'land of Qi and Wei', pressing tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to the ground and beating them?

"Pass on my order, the whole army will repair for an hour, hurry up and bury the pot to make rice, and send troops to Shuyang in an hour!"

"Obey the orders of the Great Chief."

The rebels who were still 'carnivaling' in the city were brought back one after another by the big and small leaders, and when they heard that they were going to fight a super-rich man soon, they immediately shouted that they wanted to leave immediately. In their opinion, even if the rich man raised a family and a nursing home, ten or eight nursing homes would not be able to make a single wave in front of the army...

At this time, Zhang Yang was tormented by the double emotional entanglement of excitement and nervousness, and finally squinted for a while in the early hours of the morning, and was woken up by Zhang Long in less than two hours.

"Master, they're here!"

Zhang Yang suddenly became agitated, sleepless, and said eagerly: "How far is it?" ”

"There are only thirty miles left from Zhangjiazhuang."

"All the army assembled!"

Standing on a temporary high platform, Zhang Yang was like a mustache possessed, fanatically inciting the young men's will to fight.

“… The rogues from the north have come to kill not only our families, but also our food, our sisters, wives and daughters! Do you let it? ”

"Don't let !!"

The 500-strong team roared with a deafening shout.

"Good! is worthy of being a soldier brought out by Lao Tzu, and there is no fucking bastard! Now I order, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately took their troops into the predetermined position, Mahan led the artillery team into the artillery position, and everyone listened to my order to fire, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"
