Chapter 45: Without Delay
went home and changed into dry clothes, and Zhao Rui immediately calmed down.
Whether to fight or not, how to fight is still secondary, and the most urgent thing now is to return to the ancestral hall.
At the beginning, Zhao Rui thought that he was carrying a pistol, even if there was a threat from the Tartars, he could go back if he wanted to, but now that he thinks about it, this is not the case, in case the Yuan army comes to the city and traps Jingjiang Mansion like an iron bucket, how can he take people out?
One ***, and only 200 bullets, when the Yuan army besieged the city, thousands of Tartars, how many could they kill?
Can't wait, it seems that you have to sneak back to Lingshan County immediately, return to the modern era and get a hot weapon, and only have a chance of winning the battle with the Yuan army, the existing spears are not enough.
The more Zhao Rui thought about it, the more anxious he became, and hurriedly summoned all the personnel to inform him of an important decision.
"What? Want to go out of town to fight? ”
The Song people who had only joined the team when they arrived at Jingjiang Mansion looked at each other, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.
With the advantage of the city wall, why do you want to go out of the city to fight, is it impatient?
Especially those children of rich families, who have no worries about food and clothing, and are affected by public opinion in the city, they are inexplicably going to work hard, so they are clamoring to protest.
"Do you really think that Jingjiang Mansion can be defended?"
Zhao Rui's words directly made the noisy crowd immediately become silent. It's not that they haven't thought about it, it's that no one wants to face this harsh reality.
No one knows if Jingjiang will be saved, but people always feel safer staying inside the city than outside.
"Sichuan is gone, Dali has been conquered, do you think how many large and small cities have been conquered by the Tartars? Even our Juzhou City, which is hundreds of miles away, was trampled by the iron hooves of the Yuan army, why do you think that Jingjiang Mansion can be defended? ”
Zhao Rui's eyes were full of essence, pacing in front of the team and examining everyone, they all avoided Zhao Rui's gaze intentionally or unintentionally.
"Even if I don't say it, you know what will happen after the city is broken by the Tartars, are you ready to resist passively? Think of your parents, think of your family! ”
The scar torn open by Zhao Rui was dripping with blood...... Many people were obviously breathing heavily, and it seemed a little difficult to bear such a heavy topic.
"However, even if we go out, we can guarantee that we can kill the Tartars and keep Jingjiang City!"
A young man couldn't hold it back, and shouted to Zhao Rui with a red face and a thick neck.
"I can guarantee it!"
Zhao Rui's confident words calmed everyone.
"Somewhere in Lingshan County, I have a batch of advanced Hu firearms, after we get them, killing the Tartars must be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!"
Zhao Rui said, directly took out a pistol and fired a shot at the kimchi jar at the root of the wall.
"Bang!"
The kimchi jar was shattered by bullets, and the pickled salt water suddenly flowed to the ground.
"Wow! This power, this precision ......"
"Is this the Hu Ren musket, it's so powerful!"
"If I had this weapon, I wouldn't be afraid of any Tartar cavalry!"
The Song people exchanged their heads and ears, and it was difficult to hide the surprised look on their faces.
"This is still the least powerful ......," Zhao Rui said lightly.
Everyone was instantly impressed by this small pistol, and even had some faint expectations.
"Whoever doesn't want to go now can quit immediately!" Zhao Rui said loudly.
None of the more than 100 people in the audience made a sound.
"Very good, it seems that everyone is a real man, even if it is for the sake of parents, wives and children, we are definitely not allowed to back down! Alright, start preparing for the war and set off tomorrow! ”
Zhao Rui summoned Zhao Gong and a few people, took out camouflage uniforms, military boots, backpacks and water bottles according to the number of people, and handed them out to those who didn't have them.
And Zhao Rui himself went directly to Liang Dong's house.
Unexpectedly, Lord Liang didn't come back, Zhao Rui pounced on the air, and returned to the yamen of Jingjiang Mansion.
The official in front of the door saw Zhao Rui go and returned, and thought about what he had said to the adults in the backyard for a long time, so he didn't dare to slack off, and went directly inside to report.
"What is this Zhao Rui doing when he comes back?" Prefect Zhu Ji frowned and asked.
"I don't know, he just said that he has something important to report."
"Go, call him in."
Master Zhu talked with them for a long time, and he hadn't discussed a foolproof plan, and he was already a little anxious.
Who knew that Zhou Tongju added fuel and vinegar to the side: "Could it be that he is afraid that he will dissolve the Jingzhong Society?" After all, he is a flat-headed person, and Lord Zhu really thinks highly of him. ”
Zhu Ji nodded, saw Zhao Rui coming in, and asked with a solemn face: "Zhao Rui, why did you go and return?" ”
Liang Dong and the capital eunuch were talking about reinforcements and supplies, and when they saw Zhao Rui coming, they didn't bother to say hello, but just nodded their heads.
"Returning to your lordship!"
After Zhao Rui greeted the four of them, he said loudly: "I think that my Great Song Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and the Tartars are fierce and arrogant. The defense of the city is already weak, doesn't it add to the arrogance of the Tartars? Although the little one is dull, his subordinates have some real kung fu, so they want to lead a team of warriors out of the city, or disturb, or sneak attack, in short, they can't let the Tartars attack the city wholeheartedly! ”
"Poof!"
Before others could speak, Zhou Tongju couldn't hold back and laughed.
Zhao ...... Rui, right, do you want to use the number 100 people to deal with tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry? Hahaha, what's the difference between this and mosquitoes killing elephants? ”
Zhao Rui had already thought of this Zhou Tong judge's ridicule, and he was not annoyed at all, but pretended to have a determined look.
"The villain has made up his mind, and there is no need to persuade him to pass the judgment! As the saying goes, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas, I am willing to be the spark and ignite the momentum of resisting the Yuan army! If you die, You Rong! ”
The four adults were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that a small county citizen would have such an awareness, and it was really ironic to compare it with the officials who passed the buck.
Just now they received a letter that Yizhou City could not send reinforcements, and they were scolding the street in the house.
If there is no other force to contain it, let the Tartars attack the city, it will be really lucky.
The prefect Zhu Ji was particularly moved, if there were more people in the city who thought like Zhao Rui, they would not be so tired today.
Zhou Tong's face froze, and he didn't think that he was deliberately making things difficult, but it highlighted Zhao Rui's impression in front of the prefect, pretending to be so righteous and awe-inspiring, this kid can.
Seeing that Zhou Tongju was a little deflated, although Liang Dong was expressionless, his heart was already happy.
This Zhou Tongju has always been at odds with himself, although the two are similar to the same level, but he still has the right to report directly to the emperor, so he is always suppressed by him in terms of momentum.
"Good! Zhao Rui is a young hero, he is really a role model for me in Jingjiang Mansion! Zhu Ji stroked his beard and smiled.
"Master Zhu, so I'll give him a token, it's easier to get in and out?" Liang Dong suggested with a smile.
"Please think twice in case you ......"
Zhou Tongju's face was ugly, and he wanted to persuade again, but he was directly interrupted by Zhu Ji.
"Okay, in these extraordinary times, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people! Zhao Rui, you have to be more careful when you go out of the city! ”
Zhu Ji made a conclusion, and Zhou Tongju had nothing to do, seeing that Zhao Rui had obtained the waist card and could set off at any time, so he rolled his eyes and proposed again: "Lord Zhu, Zhao Rui has little experience in warfare after all, so it's good for our government to have a military supervisor?" It's best to be someone with rich combat experience, and you can always let Zhao Rui's team take fewer detours! ”
"So good! Thanks to Zhou Tong's meticulous thinking, I don't know who to send? ”
Zhu Ji was also happy to hear it, and he was able to work together at the critical moment, it must be because he was a good prefect!
"I think Sun Tie, the head catcher of our government, is very suitable, this person has been a scout in the army before, and he is quite familiar with detecting sneak attacks, and he is casual with Zhao Rui, which is very suitable!"
When it came to this person, the four adults actually knew about it.
This Sun Tie is nearly forty years old, he is not smiling, enforces the law impartially, and does not show favoritism, but his temper is a little stinky and he is not very popular.
Zhao Rui saw that the other three adults were all nodding, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that Zhou Tong's judgment suddenly had a good intention?
It's just that what Zhao Rui didn't know was that Sun Tie was investigating a case, and he actually found out about Zhou Tongju's son, which made Zhou Tongju furious, he hinted to Sun Tie several times to let him stop, but who would have thought that this person was a reckless man who didn't eat oil and salt!
So Zhou Tong simply recommended Sun Tie and asked him to follow Zhao Rui to death!
So Zhao Rui returned home with the token, and waited for Sun Zhutou to arrive tomorrow, so he could set off immediately.
Zhu Ji was greatly moved by Zhao Rui's decision, and immediately ordered someone to spread the news of Zhao Rui leading the team to kill the enemy to the countryside.
Being able to make the people follow Zhao Rui's example is Zhu Ji's original intention, but this move directly caused the opposite effect, and the conversation between the people of the city became more and more tasteless.
"I heard that kid from Lingshan County is going out to find death!"
"Yo, you know, tell you, his death is secondary, in case he kills the Tartars and provokes them to be angry, how would it be good to slaughter them!"
"It's too self-defeating, the Tartars that can't be beaten by officers and soldiers, what's the use of having so few of them?"
"Yes, there must be no return this time......"
The next morning, when Zhao Rui counted the number of people, he still found that three or four children from rich families did not come, so he must not dare to come again.
Zhao Rui didn't care and directly removed all of them.
The old housekeeper also ran out to persuade in fear, and when he saw that Zhao Rui had made up his mind, he had to talk about some caution and other instructions.
But Zhao Xiaoyi had to follow Zhao Rui, Zhao Rui couldn't help but have a headache, such a dangerous thing, what does a girl mix.
But as soon as Zhao Rui persuaded a few words, Xiao Yi's eyes were red and she was about to cry, and she also said that she knew boxing and would not drag her down.
Zhao Rui couldn't see the girl crying, so he reluctantly agreed.
Not long after, the head catcher Sun Tie came to visit.
"You are Zhao Rui?"
Sun Tie's hair is slightly gray, but his body is strong, and the outline of his muscles can be seen from the outside of his clothes, obviously a person who has been practicing martial arts all year round.
It's just that Sun Tie's attitude is a little suspicious of relying on the old and selling the old, and after looking at Zhao Rui for a while, he saw that his demeanor was calm, so that he didn't look like a foolish person, so he was a little relieved.
