"Check, I'm crying Qin Ting with one heart!"

The first sentence of the meeting in the village suppressed Liu Chang: "Qu Shuai said, this time not to go south with the inspection point, it is the first big mistake in his life, now Wenzhou is in danger, the red scarf is in danger, please check the point and send troops south!" ”

Liu Chang was quite steady, he held Yu Cun's hand and said: "Now that I have the heart to fight Ningbo Mansion, how can I go south easily!" Mr. Yu, just spare me this time! ”

Compared with the rich Ningbo Mansion, Wenzhou Mansion is really nothing, so Yu Cun immediately said: "Although the Hong Army and the Red Turban Army are now separated, but the two armies are from the same source, it can be said that the blood is connected, how can you pull the Red Turban Army, I brought 10,000 taels of military salaries this time, as long as the inspection is willing to go south, this is the opening fee, and more military salaries can be raised later!" ”

This sincerity is sincere enough, but Liu Chang is unwavering, he said: "I understand Mr. Yu's kindness, but after defeating Ningbo Mansion, let alone 10,000 taels, it is an easy thing to say, but after all, our Hongjun and the Red Turban Army are from the same source!" ”

"Do the Red Turban Army need foreign guns and medicine?"

As soon as Liu Chang spoke, Yu Cun over there said in a loud voice: "Lacking, there is a shortage of foreign guns and foreign gunpowder, this time we initially picked up some cheap ones with foreign guns, but the Qing Demon also purchased hundreds of foreign guns and bought more than a dozen foreign guns, we can't resist the enemy in terms of firepower, if not, how can we be defeated back from Fujian!" ”

As soon as he said this hateful matter, he asked, "Inspector, how many foreign guns and foreign gunpowder are you going to sell us this time?" No matter how many, we'll take it! The price is yours! ”

"That's not going to work!" Liu Chang told Yu Village: "Two days ago, I bought a batch of foreign guns from the sea, and now they are still in Panshi Village, and Shi Tinglan is in charge of affairs. You take my warrant and ask Sister Shi Tinglan to sell you a few more shots. ”

This batch of foreign guns and foreign guns was transported from Shanghai by Rusya through Ningbo, what made Liu Chang's eyes shine was a hundred Mini rifles, and I don't know where Rusya got so many Mini rifles, but unfortunately there is no sniper scope, otherwise Liu Chang would have been able to make the earliest sniper rifles.

However, Rusya got a lot of large eight pocket watches and binoculars, plus the sixty revolvers she got to make Liu Chang's battalion and company-level officers redress.

Besides. Rusya also brought 600 flintlock pistols, 200 firing pistols, and a large number of bullets, fire caps, and thunder. In this case, the entire Hong Army is already in the situation of attacking Jinhua at any time, and Liu Chang cannot personally rush to Panshi Village to receive this batch of munitions.

Therefore, he could only appoint Shi Tinglan to trade with Rusya instead of him. The negotiations between the two sides went quite smoothly, and this large quantity of arms and military products had been handed over to the shore, but with the defeat of the Red Turban Army from Fujian and Chuzhou, the road from Panshizhai to Taiping County had also become unsafe, so Shi Tinglan specially sent light cavalry to ask for a battalion from Taizhou to send south to escort this large amount of arms and military goods back.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Chang deeply felt how painful the lack of means of communication was, even if there was no radio or cable telegraph. I won't feel like I'm lacking in skills.

And now he told Yu Cun: "The price, I will give it to you according to the old price in the past, but the quantity is limited, I can only be sorry!" ”

Please don't move the Hongjun to the south, and being able to buy a batch of foreign guns can be regarded as worthy of Qu Zhenhan, so Yu Cun immediately agreed: "Okay, I will immediately send someone south to receive the guns, and the 10,000 taels will be handed over to the inspection point!" ”

The method of delivery of the goods after the payment. It can be imagined how eager the war in the south is, so Liu Chang has made up his mind: "Mr. Yu, I don't know if Marshal Qu and Chief Zhao have any arrangements next?" "...," What's the plan? Take one step at a time! Yu Cun complained: "At the beginning, they asked them to go south together, but they refused to listen, but now it's better, and I regret it when I come back, I see our people." That is, to check your Taizhou this road is the most vibrant, the most promising to achieve great causes. ”

This is also true, in the past, the contradictions within the Red Turban Army were covered up by victory, but now that several people have shrunk to Wenzhou Mansion, the contradictions of the past will inevitably erupt. Maybe the Red Turbans will have a civil strife first.

And Liu Chang asked very kindly: "Mr. Yu, in this case, you are willing to do it with me, I am short of talents here, and I have no skills!" ”

Yu Cun said "ah", his mouth opened wide, he didn't expect Liu Chang to actually recruit himself, this was something he never dreamed of, he originally thought that he was just a little person who threaded the needle, and he didn't have much weight.

But Liu Chang's words made him feel his own weight, and he pondered for a while before replying: "The inspector asked me to come over, and I am willing." ”

"I ran back and forth for Brother Zhao and Marshal Qu, and my shoes have broken more than a dozen times in the past few months, which is worthy of them, but if I come to vote, how can I vote alone, how can I bring the team over."

This is obviously digging the foot of the Red Turban Army, so Liu Chang said immediately: "Isn't this okay? ”

"What's wrong!" Yu Cun Zhenzhen said: "Now that Brother Zhao and Marshal Qu have returned to Wenzhou, plus Deputy Marshal Ni's team, how can a single Wenzhou Mansion support so many people, I brought the team over, how can it also relieve Brother Zhao and Marshal Qu." ”

This seems to make sense, but Yu Cun has secretly changed the concept.

Although it is difficult for the Wenzhou government to support such a team, what he wants to bring over in Yucun is by no means a group of new soldiers, but an old army that has been formed, especially those who have experienced the wars of Ruian, Pingyang, Yongjia and northern Fujian.

Yu Cun estimated that although it was not much, it was certain to bring a team of hundreds of people over, and he could see that Liu Chang's foundation was too shallow, and many recruits who only joined the army in March had now served as squad leaders or even platoon commanders.

In this case, if he can bring hundreds of veterans over, it must have weight in Liu Chang's heart, and he continued to soothe: "If you don't want to go to the inspection, you can send a few foreign guns to Marshal Qu and Brother Zhao afterwards!" ”

Yu Cun has always insisted on this, and Liu Chang agreed: "Then Mr. Yu must be careful when he goes back this time, don't be mistaken by the villain's slander." ”

Yu Cun nodded, and he continued to offer advice to Liu Chang and said: "Now there is a Yueqing County between Panshi Village and Taiping, and when I go back this time, I will definitely let Qu Shuai lend Yueqing County to the inspection point!" ”

This is no longer digging the foot of the wall, it is simply eating inside and out, but Liu Chang did not refuse: "Marshal Qu also needs the two young marshals to participate in the grand event together, if Marshal Qu is willing to give up Yueqing County, I am willing to give another 300 flintlock foreign guns with all the medicines, and even give several foreign cannons!" ”

Three hundred flintlock foreign guns plus ammunition, plus a few small-caliber foreign guns, is not a big deal in Shanghai, that is, four or five thousand silver yuan, but in Panshi Village, such equipment requires tens of thousands of silver yuan.

And if Qu Zhenhan wants to buy so many foreign guns and cannons, then why do they need fifty or sixty thousand silver yuan, and more importantly, he can't buy enough foreign guns and foreign guns with silver in his hands, and he only buys so many foreign guns sporadically through the yellow fleet.

Therefore, such an offer will definitely make Qu Zhenhan excited, after all, he has just returned from the rout of Fujian, the people's hearts are unstable, and he urgently needs a batch of foreign guns and cannons to improve the morale and combat effectiveness of the backbone troops.

And for Liu Chang, the significance of a Yueqing County is particularly significant, in that case, from Panshi Village to Taizhou Mansion can be united, no longer need to go through the territory of the Red Turban Army, and Yueqing can be said to be the basic plate of the Rainbow Army, if the Rainbow Army can operate openly here, at least a few thousand recruits can be levied. ..., these recruits have to go through the test of actual combat to become the backbone, but compared to the newly recruited soldiers in Taizhou, they are more reliable because of the relationship between the same township and the same clan, not to mention that Yueqing is a rich county in Wenzhou Prefecture, although it has been harmed by the two young marshals Qu, Liu Chang can still scrape a lot of land from it.

Therefore, Yu Cun agreed as soon as possible: "If you equip 300 flintlock pistols with 500 rounds of ammunition, and 8 foreign cannons with 200 rounds of ammunition, I will offer Qu Zhenhan an price like this, and this matter will be handed over to me!" ”

It's just that he said again: "I don't know what the bottom line of this borrowing Yueqing County is?" ”

"500 flintlock guns, 12 foreign cannons!" Liu Chang reported a final bottom line, if you need more weapons, it doesn't feel worth it, after all, these foreign guns and cannons have to be secretly transported from Shanghai by Demons and Rusya, although one can be shipped every one or two months, but even Liu Chang's own rainbow army is not enough to use.

"That's fine!" Yu Cun agreed: "The humble post must do this well!" I must do things well within the bottom line of the inspection point, but I just ask the inspection point to change the warrant, so that I can bring a few more foreign guns back this time, and it is best to bring one or two more foreign guns back. ”

He knew that his ability to move had always been very strong, whether it was Zhao Qi or Qu Zhenhan, there were many close friends on both sides, and now he went back to fight for Liu Chang's interests, and he must be able to go unstoppable.

You must know that the casualties of the Red Turban Army this time were too heavy, when they entered Fujian, the Red Turban Army had 18,000 people, and there were 4,000 money volunteers, and after entering Fujian, they recruited 13,400 new soldiers, and transferred 4,500 people from Wenzhou Mansion to the south, but in the end, the Red Turban Army and the money volunteers who returned to Wenzhou were only 13,000 people.

Although the attrition was not all combat casualties, most of them fled because the fighting in northern Fujian was too fierce, but the morale of the Red Turban Army and the Qian Volunteer Soldiers who returned to Wenzhou was very low, and even the Qu clan had a lot of complaints.

What's more, this time the Qu family has always eaten meat, Dongxiang people drink soup, Xixiang people gnaw bones, and people from other counties can't even gnaw bones, and they are driven up to fight hard with the Qing army again and again, but Liu Chang has successfully laid such a foundation in Taizhou Mansion, which makes many generals of the Red Turban Army envious.

I went over to lobby myself, at least I could bring ** hundred veterans over, right?

Whether you can pay homage to the prime minister depends on this time!
