2787 arms smuggling expanded
"Why do we commandos do this kind of thing every time. Damn it. A corporal of the Yue clan scolded that they were quietly crossing a trench, and in order to cross the trench they had to lie on the ground a little bit.
"Damn it, climb fast. Don't talk, hurry. One of the sergeant majors in the back scolded in a slightly louder voice.
"Damn, I got it." The corporal cursed, and then kept crawling forward, and when he was almost at the edge of the trench, he stopped his advance, and he first wanted to see if there were any sentinels in the trench, and if there were, he needed to clear them. This was a reconnaissance activity of the Yueshi people, and such reconnaissance activities were carried out at the strong request of Li Lian, because he knew that the Yueshi would definitely carry out a second offensive operation, and he must actively prepare for the next battle, and they found out last time. Their reconnaissance is very not careful, or they know the situation near the fortress, but they don't know anything about the situation inside the fortress, which is very unfavorable to them, and they must understand it clearly in order to effectively solve the problem.
So they often organize such reconnaissance activities, which, in the eyes of the Indians, is harassment, serious harassment.
"No one." The corporal looked at it and said. Then he motioned, and he was the first to jump down. The sergeant in the back followed. The sergeant major was still crawling on it, and they were going to move forward little by little, forming a small depth, after all, they still wanted to come back alive.
"Who?" The sergeant who had just gone down scolded.
"Bang." A gunshot rang out, and an Indian fired a shot into the air, which was the sound of a flintlock pistol.
The sergeant was shocked, but he reacted immediately and fired continuously, killing the opponent, but the gunfire also alerted the opponent, and it was obvious that their reconnaissance activity was unlikely to continue.
"Damn, why don't you use a knife, you'll have to come a few times in a few days. It's a real nuisance. The corporal scolded, but there was nothing he could do about it. It's such a thing, and he can't say anything more.
"Bang, bang." As soon as the corporal finished speaking, the gunshots rang out intensively.
"This. That's not right, right. How did you shoot from the Indians. The corporal asked, looking at the sky in confusion. They were inside the trenches. But he could only tell by listening to what was going on above.
"Retreat, retreat." The sergeant could not say anything but ordered a retreat.
"Be careful, don't get hit by your own bullets, that would be too lacking." The sergeant said.
"Ahh As soon as the sergeant climbed up, he heard a scream.
"What's going on?" The corporal asked.
"My ass, damn it, a bullet hit me." The sergeant lay on the ground and cursed.
"If you can't die, just retreat." The corporal followed, and the two men withdrew like that. As soon as they went up, they knew. The Indians were shooting on the opposite side, and they didn't know why the Indians had muskets all of a sudden, and the density of the shots was very large. This worries them.
Then they retreated little by little, and the officers on duty reported the situation to the above, and they considered it very serious. Because the Indians had muskets, they had only a handful of muskets before. Those were still obtained by confiscation, and they were not used very well, but now, their muskets were extremely dense, which was not a good sign.
Inside the headquarters of Li Lian.
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Lian also asked with great suspicion. He felt that it was unlikely that the Indians could get so many muskets in such a short period of time, according to the reports of the officers at that time, the density of muskets reached the scale of several hundred, and they were fired continuously, which means that there were at least seven or eight hundred muskets, although such a large scale of muskets did not pose much of a threat to the Yueshi army with artillery, but this caused a very serious problem, that is, the Indians had muskets. Siege warfare was extremely disadvantageous.
"It's true, sir, we hear very clearly, the density of muskets is very large, surprisingly large, I think there are at least a thousand muskets, and the most important thing we have at the moment is to find out these muskets. Otherwise, we're in very big trouble. The officer said worriedly.
"I know this very well." Li Lian said.
"Go down and rest. I'll take care of that. Don't say it to anyone. Li Lian said.
"Yes, sir." The other nodded. And then he left. Li Lian felt that this was definitely not a good thing. He told Bai Le that he was from the Qin State, and in the Yue Clan, the Qin people had a great right to speak.
"Sir, this matter is very bad for us, the Indians have muskets, and we may be in trouble in the next offensive operation. If this continues, I fear that the trouble will continue to grow, and I must do something to prevent these muskets from continuing to flow into the hands of the Indians, and we must be aware of the origin of the muskets. After Bai Le learned about this situation. Immediately told Meng Ping that he was the highest rank in the Qin Army's advisory group.
"Well, as long as the border is blocked, there should be no problem. That's not what I'm worried about, though. Those muskets did not have a great effect on us, as long as the Indians did not master artillery, using artillery. All the problems are not very big, the rifle will only cause a certain number of casualties, but not a large number of casualties, I think, you don't have to worry too much. Meng Ping told the other party such information very rationally.
"But, sir, the other side has more than a thousand muskets, and their threat is still relatively large." Bai Le insisted.
"I know this, but there is no way, and now the Yueshi people are making noise. Admiral Moran couldn't do anything about it, the army was in the process of repairing, and a large number of prisoners of war had not yet been digested. This robbery operation still could not meet the needs of the Yueshi people, and the Yueshi people seemed to be considering whether to launch a second military operation, after all, they still owed us Qin people a lot of money, and in comparison, they seemed to be more concerned about this issue. Meng Ping told Bai Le such news.
"What?" Bai Le asked in an almost unbelievable tone.
"Yes. That's what they're worried about, and there's nothing I can do about it, but that's the way it is. Meng Ping said.
It turned out that 370,000 prisoners of war were obtained from this robbery, as well as a large amount of food, and most of the loot was mainly gold, but the amount was not very large, after all, they did not rob rich areas. They are still robbing the war zone of the Indians, how can there be a large amount of gold and silver treasures in the war zone, so that the harvest of the Indians is not very much, because the value of the arms is very large, and in comparison, four or five prisoners of war may only be exchanged for a grenade. Their value is very low, and with a series of factors such as the consumption on the road, the situation can be very bad. As a result, they will have to reassess the benefits of continuing to fight.
In this regard, the Ministry of Finance and the Parliament of the Yueshi people are discussing this matter fiercely, and the military is also actively discussing it, they believe that it is necessary to carry it out, but it is necessary to change the current behavior of looting and leaving, and they must occupy the land, not quit. They should gradually occupy the land of the Indians, and then expand southward little by little, because the south is where the Indians are rich, and only there will be a lot of wealth. They rob to have greater gains. And the Yue's Ministry of Finance thinks that the current large-scale spending of money will make them extremely crazy, because if they do this, if they continue to attack, they will have to borrow, and the amount of borrowing may be larger, and at the same time they will have to build a railway, which makes them extremely embarrassed, this is an extremely crazy behavior, they don't want to do this, but if they don't do this, they will not have a good income at all, and the Yueshi people seem to have only robbing this passage.
"We can only tighten the lockdown." Bai Le thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I think so too, these guns, it is impossible for them to flow out of our hands, after all, they may come from the south. I've heard from China that the Koreans are fighting in the south, and they will provide more muskets from the south to the Indians. Meng Ping said.
"Maybe so." Bai Le nodded and said.
At a time when there was a heated discussion at the top. The rat-like transport gradually expanded. More and more Yueshi people are involved, and among them are the army.
At night, a Moon sentry whispered to a group of men carrying large heavy boxes to creep through his line of defense. They quickly crossed the trenches and crawled over the barbed wire.
"What are they carrying?" The other sentry asked worriedly. He lay on the ground just in case.
"Arms, muskets, as long as it's not artillery." The sentry replied.
"Oh my God. They. This, we are, in. The other sentry didn't know what to say.
"I know, it's a crime, to get yourself in trouble, but don't forget. How much money can we make as soldiers like this, and when we die, we have nothing. It's better to find a shortcut to make a fortune for yourself, and after making enough money, let's go to Qin State and do small business, which is better than being a soldier. This is not something that people do. The sentry said. The other sentry nodded in agreement, after all, many of them had such thoughts, and it was not his business alone. After all, there are quite a few soldiers who are not very well paid, and it's no wonder they do. Huge interests will always make a lot of people take risks, and they don't care about that. They are in charge of their own money bags, and the disparity between the risk and the salary of the soldiers is too great, which has to make them take risks, and they can only do this, and the arms smuggling trade has become larger.
