Chapter 63 Shaanzhou Training

At night, Zhang Zhimu lay on the bed, a little unable to sleep, and always felt that his heart was not very steady. got up and said to Chen Yufeng, "Did Uncle Chen sleep?" ”

"No, I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Chen, I feel that my heart is still a little unsure, and our preparation is still not sufficient. It may be that I was also swollen with a headset of victories. We must recognize that we have won all these battles by chance. We don't have the capital to go head-to-head with anyone. Chen Yufeng said: "The key is Kaifeng, how to deal with the army of King Chuang." However, the Ming Navy is very powerful, and King Chuang will not collide with the Ming Army here. What I'm afraid of is that King Chuang's cannons on the shore, we are in the water, they are on the shore, and if they fight, they will be very passive. We have too many ships. Zhang Zhimu said: "It's useless to be afraid now, we must be fully prepared, and this time we will prepare a few more armed ships." While the two were talking, the man knocked on the door outside, saying that someone was looking for him. Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng got up together, and Lu Chengxiang heard the movement and got up too. The few people who came, all of them lowered the brim of their hats. Seeing that Zhang Zhimu was waiting for him to come out, he asked, "That is Zhang Dongjia?" "I am." Zhang Zhimu nodded.

"I have a friend who has asked me to send you something." After speaking, the person waved his hand to the back, and the people behind unloaded the boxes on the two carriages. Zhang Zhimu understood that it was sent by **. Just asked, "How much is the goods?" The person who came said, "I just deliver the goods and nothing else." Zhang Zhimu said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard." Lu Chengxiang gave them some silver, but they didn't want it, saying that the money had already been paid, so he didn't talk more and left. Zhang Zhimu knows that this is the rule of the road, and he earns the money he should earn.

Zhang Zhimu ordered people to carry all the ** into his house. When he entered the house, Chen Yufeng said, "This is 1,500 catties." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Li Zhenshan is really a caring person, I'm afraid that we won't be enough, so I prepared more." I'm going to thank you tomorrow. ”

When he got up in the morning, Zhang Zhimu called Lu Qi and said, "Yesterday, I asked you to continue to make the fire oil bombs that the bed crossbow shot." Today, we also have to make a fire oil bomb that can be fired with a crossbow, and such a fire oil bomb can be used with a piece of bamboo. No matter what kind of bullet it is, the iron tip in front must be strong, don't fall off the target if you can't stick to it. In addition, you don't have to do everything yourself, you can hire some local carpenters, and the blacksmith shop can give them more silver, so that they can be greedy for some black and get out as soon as possible. Lu Qi said: "Don't worry, those two blacksmith shops have been doing bad business, and we are working hard to give them business." They are more afraid of delaying their earnings. Carpenter, I'm looking for two more today, and I can send me some work that I can do at home. In particular, those bamboos are afraid of cracking, so they have to be boiled out with water and dried before they can be used. "Okay, just work hard." After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, he took Yang Yulin to ride into the city, Yang Yulin was generally within Zhang Zhimu's sight as long as he opened his eyes, and Zhang Zhimu was also very willing to take her, the feeling of having a beautiful woman by his side was different. Especially Yang Yulin's fiery red, where she goes, is the focus of men's attention. Zhang Zhimu actually knew very well in his heart that this Yang girl was already emotionally attached to her, but she only had Huang Yukun in her heart, and she had to marry Huang Yukun. If something happens to this Yang Yulin now, everything he has worked so hard to manage may collapse. Besides, that's not interesting. However, Yang Yulin's well-proportioned and plump figure is really intriguing.

Li Zhenshan of the Zhenhai Dart Bureau, seeing Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin arrive, got up and said, "I want to bring it, you will definitely come over today." Zhang Zhimu said: "Thank you so much." I didn't expect Bureau Master Li to get such things all at once. Li Zhenshan said: "If you are not enough, let your friends do more." Zhang Zhimu asked the price and asked Yang Yulin to pay the silver. Zhang Zhimu took out one, handed it to Li Zhenshan in a small bag, and said, "Last time, I came in a hurry, this time I brought a gift, please take care of my wife." Li Zhenshan accepted it politely, the road ahead is not close, you still have to prepare more, if you need anything, just ask, I want to be more convenient here. Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and asked, "Can you get some crossbows?" Li Zhenshan was happy when he heard it, and said, "Come with me." Following Li Zhenshan to a warehouse in the backyard, Li Zhenshan pointed to a pile of crossbows stacked together and said, "Do you want these?" Zhang Zhimu arched his hand and said, "The bureau master has helped me a lot again." Zhang Zhimu asked how much silver was taken away, and we were pro-wealth. Li Zhenshan said: "From the moment I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not a mortal, although I haven't opened your gift yet, but I'm sure that it is definitely not comparable to these broken things, and if you raise money again, it will humiliate me." It's ten crossbows, but it's been useless for a long time, you get it back and pack it up, no problem. It's all new when I get it back. Also, it's a bundle of crossbow arrows, and you can pull them away. ”

This Li Zhenshan is really enthusiastic, so he sent his family to load things in a car and go back to the knife inn with the two. Before he got off the horse, Lu Chengxiang came over and said, "Mr. Zhang is overjoyed."

Zhang Zhimu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, where did I come from. Lu Chengxiang said: "I just learned that Lord Zhou sent a government official to report, saying that yesterday I sent officers and soldiers to investigate the village of thieves, but it turned out that it had already been burned down by fire, and there was no one for a long time. The thieves have all withdrawn. As soon as Zhang Zhimu heard that it was a happy event, maybe King Chuang's army was too seriously wounded, and the main general was dead again, so he couldn't hold on, so he burned the village and withdrew.

Called Lu Qi over and said, "Look at it, how are these crossbows, can they be used?" Lu Qi looked at it and said, "It can be used, but the dust is falling, just rub it in." There are two that need to be repaired a little, no problem. We can add ten more crossbows. Liu Yun also came over when he heard the letter, and called Li Wei and said, your crossbow team should choose twenty more people, two people with a crossbow. Zhang Zhimu asked Lu Qi to complete the device for launching the crossbow mine as soon as possible. It just so happened that Li Jing took Fan Song and Liu Jun to lead those new team members to shoot back. Li Jing said: "These novices are very quick to get started, and I am afraid of wasting bullets, so each person asks them to shoot two shots, and each person throws one." In the future, I don't need to do this kind of thing, just have my two apprentices. Zhang Zhimu said to Lu Chengxiang: "I see that there is a bathhouse in the city, let everyone take turns to take a bath in the past two days, and we will settle the bill together." Zhang Zhimu knew that there were many people here who might not be able to enter the bathhouse for the rest of their lives if he hadn't arranged to take a bath. In the past few days, although Zhang Zhimu really wanted to go out and have a look again, he couldn't let go of it, so he accompanied Liu Yun and them to train if he had nothing to do. Now Liu Yun's team members, after training and continuous brainwashing for a period of time, have united tightly, especially when they really get the money to buy their favorite things on the street, they know that what Zhang Zhimu said is true, especially when they come back from taking a bath, they are even more relaxed physically and mentally, and they feel that they are really a dignified person this time. In this collective, everyone is a brother, no matter how big the official is, he speaks politely, and even the biggest official, Mr. Zhang, calls everyone a brother. Everyone is full of hope for the future, and some people are already calculating what they will do at the end of the year. During the break, Zhang Zhimu taught everyone to sing a song called "Unity is Strength". Everyone sang yes, majestic and powerful, and their blood was boiling.

In the past few days, Zhang Zhimu has discovered a strange phenomenon, no matter where Yan Boju goes, he carries a small bag on his body, even when he eats. Zhang Zhimu couldn't help it, leaned over, and asked quietly: "Uncle Yan, I saw your little bag, and I never left my body, what kind of treasure is it?" Yan Boju's small eyes glared and said, "You only know that I am carrying this treasure on my back." Since I left the kiln, I have never left this baby. You came to Zhang Zhimu's ear and said: "You forgot, we are killing the sick horse that Hukou bought, let's kill it when we go back, this is that Ma Bao." Lu Xiaoluan asked me to keep it, saying that this thing could be sold for a lot of money in the south, so that I couldn't leave it. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Yan, don't call Mr. Lu like that, if he doesn't take care of the money, my hands are bigger, can I still live this life?" ”

"It's okay, just call him that, he doesn't get angry, others can't." Yan Boju said. Zhang Zhimu shook his head helplessly.

After a few days of hard work, Lu Qi was tired and a little emaciated. Finally finished the bow and crossbow mines. This time a hundred crossbow mines were made and a hundred oil mines were made; 200 bow mines, 200 explosive mines, and 200 oil mines; Three hundred rockets were also bundled. Zhang Zhimu checked that it was very sturdy, and it seemed that Lu Qi was really a skilled craftsman. Zhang Zhimu told Lu Qi that when transporting the oil mine, he must turn the opening upward, because although it has been nailed with a wooden stopper and sealed with fire paint, the permeability of the oil is too strong, so it is still necessary to pay attention. There are still a lot of ** left, Zhang Zhimu ordered to wrap it into a medicine bag of ten catties and plug it into a fire twist. It's almost ready. Zhang Zhimu said: "Tomorrow we will conduct a live firing of all the new ammunition, and inform those who want to go with us to leave early the morning after tomorrow." ”

That night, Liu Wenbin and Zhao Xilai, the two bureau masters, led a few dart masters over. Liu Wenbin said to Zhang Zhimu: "We saw it, Zhang Dongjia recruited many people from the thief army to join the Yaogang caravan in a few words, and several dart masters of our dart bureau were also tempted. I'm sure they're not bad guys, and if it weren't for the fact that our dart game is really bad, we wouldn't have sent them away. Zhang Zhimu said: "We are very short of such good hands, but we can't win people's love." Zhao Xi said: "Don't misunderstand Zhang Dongjia, this world is too chaotic, we have all discussed, this dart is over, and it is impossible to come out again for the time being." Because there will be no such good thing as meeting Zhang Dongjia again. Our dart masters have all seen you Zhang Dongjia and admire your personality. They are all our brothers in life and death for many years, and we are really happy to be able to follow you to achieve great things. In the future, our two dart games will be where you will stay, and it will be easier to have these brothers with you. Whatever happens, as soon as your letter arrives, we will do it. Zhang Zhimu said: "Then I will thank the two of you for sending me these heroes." I will treat them as if they were my own brothers. "This time, there are a total of fifteen dart masters, and they participated. Zhang Zhimu was very happy. These fifteen dart masters were personally led by Chen Yufeng, and with the reputation of "Mountain Harrier", there was no dissatisfaction. However, Zhang Zhimu said: "They must be trained in a unified manner. All the masters said, "Everything is as it is." ”

Shooting with live ammunition, I chose a place far away from the city in a mountain col, for fear that the sound of the explosion would be heard by the people in the city. The first one to try was a wooden explosive crossbow mine, and a crossbow mine contained fifteen catties of black **. The two bed crossbows were shot one each, and because the trainer bullet and the real bullet were the same weight and shape, this time they all hit the target with live ammunition, and the explosion sound was louder than iron thunder. One oil mine was also fired. When Zhang Zhimu saw the effect of this oil mine, he said: "If this oil mine attacks the ship, it is no worse than an explosive mine." One can burn a ship to the ground. shot the bow thunder again, and Zhang Zhimu was very satisfied with the effect. Those newcomers were eye-opening this time, and they didn't expect that there were such terrifying weapons in this team.

When he came back in the evening, Zhang Zhimu called the cadres together for a meeting. Zhang Zhimu said: "We will set off tomorrow, the Yellow River from Sanmenxia down, more than 120 miles are rapids and rapids, we go through this section and then get on the boat, this journey will take about three days." Mr. Lu has to prepare all the food on the road, and there may not be many points that can arrange us all on this road, so be ready to sleep in the open. What everyone should pay attention to is that Li Zicheng has occupied Luoyang for a long time, and we must not relax our vigilance along the way. ”
