Chapter 57: A New Musket Emerges

If Zhang Zhen knows who the entire Ming officialdom knows best, except for Zhang Guowei, the governor of the eight prefectures, it should be Yang Zhengjun, the inspector of Nanyang, who made him Yang Hanlin's top boss?

After following Zhang Zhen, Yang Hanlin got drunk several times, he talked a lot after drinking, although he didn't deliberately target Yang Zhengjun, there would always be some self-deprecating complaints blurted out, including a lot of things related to inspection.

The speaker was unintentional, Zhang Zhen listened a lot, and he also knew a lot about Yang Zhengjun.

Zhang Zhen's two groups of people, the Tan people are helpless, and they have the grace to save their lives, so they don't have to worry too much about loyalty.

This tenant is very different from the Tan people, they are already begging for a living on the wharf, and they have the advantage of the canal, although they have no food and clothing, they will not starve to death, and most of them drag their families with them, so it is not a matter of two sentences for them to rebel with them.

Because of this, Zhang Zhen had long planned how to tie these more than 80 men to his chariot, with them as an example, the thousands of sailors on the dock were his reserves.

For tenants, they can only treat each other with courtesy and benefit, and if they want to be deeply bound, they must not be oppressed head-on by the non-official government.

It's like the seven little devils who invaded China in July, saying that there were devils missing, and this TM is not a pretense to see the hell.

The first shot always needs a reason, whether it is righteous or despicable, or even unwarranted.

This ancient tax collection is very domineering, morning glory houses are commonplace, and dead people are not rare, Zhang Zhen has the most high hopes, it is this greedy and lustful Yang Inspection, this is 300,000 catties of grain, I don't believe in this girl's immovable greed.

It's really not good, just as the shopkeeper Kong said, revealing that this is a peerless breed, get a three-for-one, five-for-one exchange ratio, and this amazing yield per mu as evidence, not to mention the inspection under the generous profits, the county prefect can also be shameless.

If the government oppresses, you can not only help the tenants, but also rebel in a dignified manner, which may hurt one or even more of the tenants, which will test how fast you can respond.

Zhang Zhen came here to prepare for this, but he thought that the shopkeeper had helped himself to tell the inspection, which saved a lot of trouble.

Sometimes you need to be a little cruel to your own people, and I hope that no one will die.

After killing the three shopkeepers of the hole, Zhang Zhen was released from the prison, and both men and women in Mancang Island Water Village gathered in front of the village.

Zhang Zhen looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Now that the wheat is harvested, the north and south wheat will be loaded on the ship in the near future, this is a good time for me to show my talents, and I can drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl with a few big votes, and marry my mother-in-law with a big scale!" Have a fat year at the end of the year! Old Xia! This is the first time that our water village has made a move, so as to be safe, go and point out two hundred elites! ”

Zhang Zhen had already explained that this time he only took the Tan people out, and he didn't bring any of the original Shui Kou, and by then the wood had already been completed, so they couldn't help it.

There are more than 400 people on the island, Xia Zhongyong can recognize seven, seven, eight or eight, plus this Tan person is different from ordinary people, it is very easy to recognize, and soon there will be many people.

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Lao Ding and Lao Liu, this water village will be handed over to you, you two take your brothers to keep the family business, don't be taken by the government." ”

One of these two people is the leader appointed by Zhang Zhen, and the other is the scribe, in addition to this leader, there are eighty Tan people left behind, and Zhang Zhen can rest assured.

The two responded, and Zhang Zhen shouted, "Go!" Let's get on the boat and go to the canal to rob the big boat! ”

"Go to the canal! Loot the ship! The two hundred people shouted in unison, and the rest of the people shouted along.

Except for the three small boats left behind to stand out, all the boats on Mancang Island were taken out by Zhang Zhen, and thirty boats looked at the main channel of the canal.

At the beginning of summer, the water was relatively gentle, and there was no night breeze to help, so you had to paddle by hand.

After entering the main channel, the moon finally came out, Zhang Zhen casually took out three crimping guns, kept one for himself, and handed one to Xia and Zhang.

Xia Zhongyong had some insight, recognized the structure of the musket in his hand, and said in surprise, "Hey, lord, our musket is very different from the Ming Dynasty's bird system!" ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "There are many different places, I will teach you to load and aim first, and before you go to Dushan Lake, you must let everyone be familiar with it." ”

Zhang Zhen took out a small wooden box, the box was opened, and there were two rows of upper and lower rows inside, lying quietly with twenty-one bullets.

Zhang Zhen shouted: "Tonight, each of the brothers will be given a musket, I will shoot a shot, don't be afraid." ”

Take a precautionary shot, Zhang Zhen skillfully pulled the bolt to load, and pulled the trigger, 'Bang! There was a muffled sound, unusually harsh on the silent waters.

Even at night, Xia Zhongyong's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and he scratched his head and asked, "Lord, why did this go out?" What about the arquebus? I didn't see the owner filling gunpowder and lead bullet, and there was no bar!? ”

Zhang Zhen explained with a smile: "This is called a pin gun, it is a breech gun, and it doesn't need to be through, as for gunpowder and lead bullet, tear one open and take a look!" ”

When people face the unknown, it is fear, and when the unknown belongs to them, then only curiosity remains.

Not to mention Xia Zhongyong, but anyone who has some knowledge, as long as he has seen the bird system, who doesn't stare at it, it's a pity that he can't see clearly under the moonlight.

Xia Zhongyong carefully tore open the things handed over by the lord, first the sharp lead bullet, then the gunpowder, unraveling the gunpowder, but he didn't expect that there was a small rub of things through a layer of tissue paper.

Looking at this layer of clear separation, Xia Zhongyong couldn't hold back any longer, and asked cautiously: "Lord, can I try to shoot a shot?" ”

Zhang Zhen smiled: "Okay, stop!" It's reversed! Do you want to kill yourself? The warhead is pointing forward! ”

Fortunately, Zhang Zhen stopped it in time, otherwise there might be some accident, if he committed suicide with the second shot, this omen would be too unlucky.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Zhen sighed after thinking about it: "That's it, when you fire this shot, don't try to reload tonight, just touch the gun and bullets, don't have an accident!" I'll teach you how to reload when the day dawns. ”

Zhang Zhen took out the bullet and taught Xia Zhongyong to load the bullet hand in hand, with the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aim, and shoot.

'Bang! After being stunned for a while, Xia Zhongyong said in horror: "Lord, such a great force!" How far does this have to go? ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "One hundred and fifty zhang, within seventy zhang, you can kill people!" Seventy zhang away depends on luck, and it's good to hurt people. ”

"Shhhh

Zhang Zhen said confidently, but anyone who heard it clearly, there was a gasp of cool air.

"Seventy feet... Kill the enemy two hundred steps away....." Xia Zhongyong muttered to himself, his hands trembling holding the gun, and he looked at the gun with excitement, looking even more excited than when he saw Liu Shi put on makeup for the first time.

Every man has a weapon of his own in his heart, except for Zhang Zhen, now in the hearts of more than 200 people, there is only this needle gun.
