Chapter 158: Father and Son Soldiers

In order to meet Yang Kuang's needs, but also to save his own life and increase the safety factor, he ran to the political envoy Yamen and the eunuch Yamen, and did not hesitate to fight a few battles shirtless with the ambassador of Zhejiang, and finally ran back with sufficient supplies.

"How? 2,000 poles of two-person platform, 2,000 guns, 20 Huzun cannons, 5,000 knives and guns, 20,000 taels of silver for future rewards, 5,000 stones of grain, and other gunpowder and lead are not counted, this equipment General Yang can hold the camp, right? Then he waited for Yang Kuang's answer with a dire face.

If he doesn't work so hard, you really can't, first of all, if the big battalion is lost, he can't get rid of it, and if he loses it, his own little life will be lost in it. Now all the supplies are prepared for you, and there is extra enough, just waiting for you to say whether you can hold it or not.

When Yang Kuang saw so many supplies, he had a bottom in his heart at that time, and replied firmly to the eunuch of the prison army and Father Yang: "Don't worry, you two have brothers who treat death as if they were at home, and there are 5,000 rich rewards for signing Ding, plus my original camp is well built, even if 10,000 Japanese invaders want to break it, I will definitely let him come and go." ”

With such a guarantee, everyone is relieved, because when the Japanese are the most fierce, they have not reached 10,000, and this time the real Japanese are only a few hundred or thousands at best, and most of them are coerced pirates, so it has become a horn trend, and the city and military camp of Hangzhou will definitely be able to be saved. At that time, everyone will not lose their lives, but have made great achievements. The eunuch of the prison army smiled reassuringly, it seems that the fight between himself and that Cangli Dashi was not in vain.

When the things were in hand, the method of ordering gunpowder proposed by Mao Yulong was immediately implemented. Yang Kuang found a veteran in the team who had previously managed firearms in the barracks and asked him to calculate and formulate.

The veteran first checked the powder keg that was carried, and then commanded a group of brothers to divide the batch of gunpowder into 5 piles, which made Mao Yulong very confused: "What is this?" ”

The veteran respectfully introduced to Mao Yulong: "In this batch of gunpowder, there are those made by the Beijing Ministry of Industry, the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and our Nanjing Manufacturing Bureau. ”

Mao Yulong suddenly understood that at this time, there was no standard law to be implemented, and everything made in various places was implemented in accordance with local customs. There was no standard recipe, so everyone tried it, so the power of gunpowder varied. Especially in this era, in order to increase the so-called killing force, I have to add croton arsenic and other miscellaneous things into it, which further reduces the power of gunpowder. If this is assembled according to a unified standard, there will definitely be some direct explosions, and some will not be far away at all, without a little power, and when they have a place to use in the future, they must get the best formula out, so that these black powder can exert their greatest power to protect the family and defend the country.

When Mao Yulong was thinking, the veteran opened the lid of the classified powder keg, some licked and tasted it with his tongue, some sniffed it with his nose, and then thought about it with his eyes closed, and after picking up those two-person platforms and firearms, he was so experienced that he pointed at these gunpowder with confidence: "This batch costs two taels or three dollars for two people on the two-person platform, and this batch needs three taels, and this batch is enough for one or two or eight dollars, according to my formula ratio, the two-person platform can shoot at least 20 shots without blowing up the hall, and it can also effectively kill the enemy." ”

For this method of formulating rules entirely based on experience, even Mao Yulong had to admire patiently. After carefully admonishing Yang Kuang, after returning to the barracks, he immediately mobilized manpower, according to the quantity, wrapped it in a small bag of paper for later use, but he didn't dare to be sloppy, sloppiness would kill people.

Five hundred brothers who were willing to follow Yang Kuang out of the city were selected, and each of them took 10 Jianding, and bid farewell to Father Zhao and drove out of the city. As a result, when they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw the old soldier and his grandson, accompanied by their daughter-in-law, standing alone in the doorway.

Yang Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Dad, son, why are you two here?" In this chaos, is there an emergency at home? ”

The veteran smiled: "I heard that you are going to take your brothers out of the city to guard the barracks, so I want to help you, so I will hand over the guys who take care of the big families to the neighbors, and we will go out of the city to guard the barracks with you." ”

The eunuch of the prison army was not happy, this old and young, this is thinking of following his son to mix money and food, and get a rich reward, this is corruption in disguise. But at this time, it is the time to win people's hearts, and they can only open their eyes and close their eyes.

As a result, Yang Kuang gave his father a standard military salute, and then stood in front of the team he was going to bring out and announced loudly: "Fellow villagers, look at it, this is my father, this is my son, and now they will follow me into the barracks and fight with me." I will now announce to you that if we can't hold the barracks, we will die there. ”

The signatories who were originally going to go out of the city to guard the barracks went one by one with bad luck, and they had no confidence in holding the barracks at all. I am also afraid that this so-called General Yang is greedy for life and afraid of death, so that everyone will be cannon fodder, and then he will see that things are not good and run away. But now that General Yang has dragged his father and son into the barracks, everyone knows that this General Yang is ready to defend the barracks to the death and will not retreat.

It will be the courage of the soldiers, in this world, there are only officials who are afraid of death, and there are no people who are afraid of death, and all the signatories shouted together: "Since General Yang's family is willing to fight to the death in the barracks, and we are all rotten lives, what are we afraid of?" For the safety of the fathers and elders of Hangzhou City, we fought with the Japanese Kou. ”

Yang Kuang's five hundred brothers also excitedly encouraged loudly in the crowd, and the original atmosphere of sadness and panic was immediately swept away. The shouts of fighting hard are higher and higher.

At this time, the eunuch of the town supervisor army understood the purpose of this Yang Kuang's father joining the barracks. At that time, he excitedly climbed into the carriage pulling the supplies, and directly opened a box, which was a neat and bright silver stacked by horses, and the eunuch of the prison army did not hesitate to take out two ingots from it, and shouted hoarsely to the veterans and grandsons, and also to all the signatories below: "There are warriors in the world, Hangzhou can be safe, in order to praise General Yang's father's son for his feat of serving the country by death, I will now issue a reward of 10 taels of silver to their two masters, and the settlement fee will be calculated separately." Then he personally gave the 20 taels of silver into the hands of the veteran.

Then the eunuch of the prison army stomped the silver box under his feet with his foot, "I'll tell you now, don't count eating and drinking, there are 20,000 taels of silver here, no matter whether the battle is won or not, I am not ready to hand it back, I will tell you now, these silver, grain and grass are all yours." ”

With the cash that I just gave to the veteran's grandfather and grandson on the spot, let everyone know that the reward promised by the government will not be empty. And the personal promise of the eunuch of the prison army gave everyone hope, and the morale was high again, and an invisible murderous aura immediately permeated.

Feeling the morale of the signatories, the originally timid eunuchs of the prison army also became bolder, and they stood on the silver box and ordered Yang Kuang loudly: "General, open the city gate and kill the widows." ”

The 5,000 signatories followed and shouted: "Kill the Japanese Invaders, Kill the Wolves, Kill the Widows." ”

The gate of Hangzhou City rumbled open, and this team of signatories, with the pride of killing the Japanese invaders, drove out of Hangzhou City with firm steps and walked towards their combat posts.

The city of Hangzhou was in chaos, and finally completed the whole armament war, but there was no movement there, what were they preparing? The enemy situation is unknown, but it makes everyone even more uneasy.
