Chapter 18: Okura
"Brother Li!" In private, Yang Qi and they are still called brothers.
Because this period of time has been live-fire training, so the speed of gunpowder and projectile consumption is a little fast, Yang Qi doesn't know, his team of only twelve people, the ammunition consumed in a day, is as high as the consumption of a hundred firearms team for a week, in fact, it is not how much Yang Qi's training volume, but the generals have cashed out the ammunition for training, there is no ammunition to train, of course, it is not as large as Yang Qi's consumption, but even so Yang Qi still feels that it is not enough, in order to prevent the explosion, each firearm only puts thirty shots, and it will be replaced, and then cool down before using it, so in order to meet their training needs, each person has five firearms, which are used in rotation.
"Oh?" Li Mingwei now also has a small signing room for official business.
"Brother Yang is here!" Li Mingwei had just signed an official document, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Yang Qi, and immediately greeted him affectionately: "Sit down." ”
"Recently, my side has been running out of ammunition a little fast, and I want to apply for another batch of ammunition, preferably more." Yang Qi said helplessly, I don't know if these materials are still abundant in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, or whether they are efficient?
"This matter, I will sign a military document for you, you take it and go to Zhao Qianhu, after he signs and draws it, you can go to the Okura envoy to withdraw it." Li Mingwei said directly: "Brother Yang, when you train, you still have to pay more attention to safety, I heard the madman tell me, you have been practicing a little hard recently, and the training enthusiasm of the sergeants is also very high, this is a good thing, but I still have to advise, safety first!" ”
"Well, Brother Li is very right." Yang Qi agreed.
"You can take it and do it." After Li Mingwei wrote the official document for the payment of military supplies, added the amount that Yang Qi needed, and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Yang Qi took the military list and saw that the amount he needed was impressive, and he felt a lot more relieved.
"My brother, go!" Li Mingwei nodded.
Zhao Guodong signed the room.
"My lord, the training of Li Mingwei's department in the past ten days has been normal, and there is nothing special about it, the only thing that is different is the team of sergeants led by Yang Qi." Lao Qi still reported the information of Li Mingwei's department to Zhao Guodong as usual.
"Did he practice that weird training again?" Zhao Guodong was a little confused about what this Yang Qi was going to do, but Li Mingwei was very strange about his maverick behavior and let it go.
"No, it is said that because the day of the pull-out is approaching, the next training content has been changed to live-fire training." Lao Qi replied.
"Live-fire training?" Zhao Guodong was puzzled: "Isn't he afraid of blowing up?" ”
"Uh~! It's been a few days in a row, but I haven't seen the explosion, but my subordinates don't know, will these firearms play a role in combat? Lao Qi said.
"Hmph, keep observing!" Zhao Guodong said: "I didn't expect that in the last military delivery, Li Mingwei and they were able to deduct so much equipment from Wang Zhenshan's hands, which saved our military supplies, and I underestimated this Li Mingwei." ”
"This is very strange, the last time I left, they were about to sign the handover document, I don't know why Wang Zhenshan actually changed his mind." Lao Qi was a little puzzled.
"Let's pay more attention to their movements, just a few of them can kill a Baya soldier, they must be superior, I want to make good use of this, if they do have this strength, I give them a fortune, what?" Zhao Guodong said.
"Your Excellency is clever!" Lao Qi nodded in understanding.
"Report!" At this time, the family at the door shouted: "Yang Qi, the little flag official under Li Mingwei, asks to see him." ”
"Xuan!" Seeing Zhao Guodong nodding hesitantly, Lao Qi shouted by pulling his neck.
"Li Mingwei's little flag officer Yang Qi knocked to see Zhao Qianhu!" After Yang Qi entered the room, he knelt on the ground and sang.
"Get up and talk back!" Zhao Guodong sat on the main seat and said.
"Thank you, sir!" Yang Qi thanked him.
"What do you want to see?" Zhao Guodong asked.
"Due to the needs of recent training, the consumption of ammunition is quite large, so my subordinates applied for the allocation of some military ammunition supplies." Yang Qi said with his fists clenched.
"Show me." After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, Lao Qi walked up and handed the military quartermaster document presented by Yang Qi with both hands to Zhao Guodong's bookcase.
"Yang Qi, the ammunition you need is not small!" Zhao Guodong asked with some confusion, I don't know why Yang Qi actually applied for a military quartermaster with a thousand people who were reorganized.
Yang Qi didn't answer, just stood there with his head down.
Zhao Guodong looked at him, pondered for a moment, picked up the pen, wrote a big "quasi" word on it, and then signed his name and handed it to Lao Qi.
"Take it and take it to the Okura envoy to withdraw it." Zhao Guodong said.
"Thank you, Lord Qianhu, my subordinates will retire!" Yang Qi took the paperwork with satisfaction and walked towards the quartermaster warehouse.
Anding County, thousands of households of military quartermasters.
"What? To have so much? Okura looked at the extraction paperwork and said in surprise.
"Yes, I've been busy preparing for war lately, and the consumption is a bit bigger." Yang Qi explained.
"Why are you a little older?" The Okura envoy didn't know who he was, so Yang Qi glanced at him and said: "A small flag officer, I don't know what means I used, I actually got Zhao Qianhu's signature, hum!" Do you think you can get these quarters with his signature? ”
"What? Zhao Qianhu's signature is actually not easy to use, right? As soon as Yang Qi heard that the voice was wrong, his voice also became cold.
"Who is Zhao Qianhu? I only recognize Liu Jiefu here, Lord Qianhu! Okura said, and then clenched his fist on his head in the air to show respect.
"Oh?" Yang Qi squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother, they are all officials of the same office, please be accommodating." Yang Qimo didn't know what the situation was, according to the experience of later generations, this was very likely to be asking for a bribe, and after speaking, he stuffed the prepared two taels of silver into the hands of the big warehouse envoy.
"Huh?" Okura pinched the scattered silver in his hand, and suddenly had a smile on his face: "This is good, but the amount you have withdrawn is too large, so let's do it, I will give you half of the amount first, and I think it will be enough for you to use." ”
"Hey! Brother, you don't know something, didn't it say above, it will be pulled out in a month and a half, brother, it is also difficult for me, this is not extracted at one time, and it will not be caught off guard at that time, free up your hands, you can do something else, isn't it? Yang Qi said with a smile and half-truths, and once again took out two taels of silver in his hand and said: "Brother has just been promoted, this is all his net worth, please take care of one or two." ”
