Chapter IX: Handover of Military Affairs

After the order was completed, Wang Zhenshan led these people to take stock of the arsenal, the arsenal was the same as Yang Qi expected, the weapons, bedding, armor, and almost all of them were unusable, dilapidated, and there was a big discrepancy with the accounts, but Wang Zhenshan's side set up a name, and there were no flaws in the various current dispatch accounts, in a word, nothing, what was missing? What's missing? Just ask for it from above, and if you don't give it, it's not within his scope.

"Brother, how is this delivered? Nothing! Yang Qi knew the extent of corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he wanted to draw a knife and kill people.

"Well, you still don't understand? Why didn't Lord Zhao show up today? This situation shows that he knows it, what do you ask him to do? We also have no choice, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, first hand over the military power according to Lord Zhao's requirements, and then talk about it, as for the rest, we can only think of a way later. Li Mingwei also hated itchy, but the Ming army was like this, if they weren't on the front line, I'm afraid they wouldn't have a weapon to take advantage of.

An hour passed in a hurry, Yang Qi looked at the sun, about ten o'clock, Li Mingwei wanted to have a seizure many times during the period, but he endured it.

"Brother Li, now that the delivery is complete, then I will go back to restore my life." After Lao Qi finished saying goodbye to Li Mingwei, he turned around and left.

"I'm going back too, brother, I wish Li Baihu a victory." Wang Zhenshan said with a smile on his face, and walked to the table to sign the paperwork.

"Wait!" At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly said.

"Who is he?" After all, Wang Zhenshan has been a hundred households for a long time, but Yang Qi can not be bluffed, a seemingly simple question, but Li Mingwei was asked, do you say he is an official? Just a small flag, you say it's my brother? Here they were discussing military affairs, and a fluttering word blocked everyone on the spot.

"You don't have to care who I am." Seeing that Li Mingwei took a step forward and was about to speak, Yang Qi directly interrupted him and said, "Scrivener, let me ask you, if we don't sign and draw the pledge, will the military affairs not be considered to be completed?" ”

"It's nature." The scrivener was in charge of the handover, and he was a little unsure who this little brother was, so he said truthfully.

"That's good!" After Yang Qi finished speaking, he gave a deep salute to Wang Zhenshan and said: "Then the little brother is here to wish Wang Baihu a victory, and he will make great contributions on the battlefield in the future, but remember to bring a few of our brothers." ”

"You! How does this work? Wang Zhenshan blurted out in a hurry.

"Why not?" Yang Qi's words were handed over immediately, not giving him any respite to make him think: "The handover is not successful, it seems that only Lord Wang Baihu himself has personally led the army to the expedition, and we can only envy Lord Wang for his meritorious service and awards." ”

"This, this!" Wang Zhenshan hurriedly said: "This is the order of the two thousand households, do you want to disobey?" ”

"Disobedience? I don't dare, but I have to come back with my life. Yang Qi's words were like a cannon: "Unless..." ”

"Unless what?" Wang Zhenshan finally fell into the pit dug by Yang Qi.

"Unless this arsenal is filled." Yang Qi asked for a price.

"Filled?" Wang Zhenshan exclaimed: "Where am I full?" This is the deficit of the previous hundred households, and it is not my responsibility alone, I can only add a part. ”

"Part of it?" Yang Qi saw him spitting, and hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

"A hundred-man team fully equipped." Wang Zhenshan carefully counted his belongings and said.

"Fart, we have more than three hundred and fifty people here, a hundred?" Yang Qi feigned anger and said: "Then let's ask Wang Baihu to go out in person!" ”

"Don't, don't, everything is easy to discuss, easy to discuss." Wang Zhenshan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Okay, I won't force you, let us discuss." Yang Qi said with a smile, but no matter how Wang Zhenshan looked at this smile, there was a hint of evil in it.

"Brother Li, what do you think?" Yang Qi pulled Li Mingwei aside and asked in a low voice.

"Oh brother, I didn't expect you to have this hand? It's really clever. Li Mingwei finally said the words that he had been holding back for a long time, and his heart was much happier, where had he ever seen such a handover of military power? In the past, the handover of military power, it was all serious to quickly grasp the soldiers in their hands, what kind of military supplies and other things can only be reached out to the imperial court, how have you seen Yang Qi like this, no wonder, this has to be put in the past, no one will equip you or anything, you don't want military power better, grasp it yourself in your hands, Wang Zhenshan is so rushed to clear the military power is also rare.

"Alas, I didn't expect the border army to be so corrupt, and these means are insignificant, Brother Li, take a look, what price do we offer?" Yang Qi urged: "You can't let him turn the other way, otherwise this matter will be difficult to do." ”

"Right, right." Li Mingwei quickly calculated in his mind and said: "In this way, Brother Yang, you and him want the equipment of two hundred people, so that each person has a waist knife and a spear, and if it is even, it can equip four hundred people, but half of the brothers can't wear armor." ”

"Well, Cheng, I'll give it a try!" Yang Qi nodded.

"It's okay brother, this thing can't be done, brother, I thank you!" Li Mingwei said gratefully.

Yang Qi nodded and walked over.

"How?" Wang Zhenshan looked at Yang Qi with eager eyes and asked.

"My eldest brother said, I don't embarrass you, it's rare for you to be real, you can provide equipment for two hundred people, plus fifty firecrackers and supporting equipment." Yang Qi stretched out two fingers and said.

"Two hundred?" Wang Zhenshan's face twitched, the equipment of the two hundred people was the silver taels he had made during this time, he didn't want to work in vain, and in the end he lost all his money, but compared with his own life, it was better to give up his wealth, he thought about the fire gun again, and asked: "I said this brother, how about we have a discussion?" I'll give you an extra hundred guns, and how about you erase a hundred sets of equipment for my brother? ”

"Nope." Yang Qi thought for a while and said simply, in fact, he was very excited, this kind of weapon, must form a large-scale battle formation and put the gun in a unified manner, in order to have lethality, the hit rate of the fire gun in this period is actually very low, mainly because the effective killing radius is too low, many soldiers are negligent in training, and they are in a hurry, often the enemy has not yet entered the firing range, and the bullets in their hands have been shot, and when they are waiting to reload again, it will be too late, so they can only turn around and run, which is why such an advanced weapon, The main reason why the border army is rarely used.

"One hundred and fifty strokes!" Wang Zhenshan said.

Yang Qi still shook his head, there was no one in the border army to use the weapons at all, and he probably had a lot of stock there.

"Two hundred strokes!" Wang Zhenshan continued to increase the price.

Yang Qi was actually very moved, and when the inner cry was fed back to the outside, he still shook his head and was unmoved.

"Brother, I only have a maximum of 300 strokes, all for you, you can wipe it on my brother." Wang Zhenshan simply pleaded.

"That's it, I'll make my own decisions and give you fifty sets of equipment, but that's the only way, if you agree, agree, if you don't agree, let's break up!" Yang Qi finally said.
