Chapter 106: Zhao Xiucai
Chapter 106: Zhao Xiucai
A very traditional story, although the Weishou in Liaodong is fertile land, as a military household to cultivate there is much better than those poor countryside in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but the loss is to suffer a loss in the close to the white mountain and black water, although the Jurchen tribe in the Jiajing period was respectful to the Ming Dynasty.
However, there are also a large number of self-sustaining and brave horse bandits, looting everywhere, Liaodong is a vast and sparsely populated area, these Jurchen barbarian horse bandits come and go like the wind, and the officers and soldiers of the guard station are also helpless, not to mention that there are some local lawless people among the horse bandits, and no one can cure them if they collude together.
Dongning Wei is close to the edge of the north in the twenty-five guards in Liaodong, and the thousand households where Yang Da is located were rushed into by a large number of horse bandits more than ten years ago.
However, this time the incident is more special, thousands of households in this place were killed by horse bandits, and dozens of families farming in remote places were safe and sound, but they were inexplicably accused of seducing horse bandits to kill Shangguan, and it was the general banner that managed these people, that is, Yang Da's father saw the opportunity quickly, and escaped with these people at night.
In order to avoid the pursuit behind, some people have been moving along the route outside the pass, anyway, after countless disasters, there are less than seven families left, and they came to the fifth floor village of ten families, and they settled down like this, and there were still people who objected to being so close to the Jingshi.
"It's dark under the lights!"
Jiang Feng praised there, this Yang Da's father is really a figure with ideas, if it weren't for this Yang Da's personality being a little reckless, he would have lived so peacefully.
Zhang Liang on the side didn't speak there, waiting for Jiang Feng's order, but he didn't expect that after Jiang Feng listened, he laughed instead, and said directly:
"This little thing, who will take it to heart after more than ten years of cases, hasn't Zhao Xiucai already made up for your identity? Follow me with peace of mind, with your benefits. ”
Yang Da and Zhang Liang obviously didn't expect Jiang Feng to answer like this, but Yang Da obviously said the wrong thing because of the self-talk just now, and he didn't want to say anything more at this time, Jiang Feng didn't say anything, and led Zhang Liang out of the door. Not far from walking out of the door, Zhang Liang became excited there, and said in a low and anxious voice:
"Master, these people are deserters, if they are caught, they will have their heads cut off!"
Jiang Feng walked in front and didn't look back, but he said coldly there:
"Yang Da is not a person who is too good at talking, but those words just now are quite proficient, do you think they are true?"
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Then master, why did you call my senior brother and them over, dozens of us can wipe out these dozen families without much effort."
"Are you blind? Is the head stupid? Who bought this Zhuangzi? Do you think he's going to buy a place halfway up the mountain? ”
Jiang Feng suddenly became angry, Zhang Liang opened his eyes there and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes widened and he was about to speak:
"Master, are you talking about ......?"
He was answered with a snap:
"Shut up!!"
Jiang Feng's face was already extremely gloomy, the corners of his eyes were constantly beating there, obviously suppressing his anger, and he didn't have any anger when he spoke, he did it in the almost clean stone house, which was made of wood in the mountain, although it was simple, but it looked like it had some shapes, as long as it could be used.
These newcomers are all craftsmen and military families, and they still have some skills, and under the drive of Chen Dahu's leather whips, they are equivalent to building a barracks for themselves.
Seeing his master sit down, these people who were originally napping on the bunk all stood up immediately, all of them wanted to kowtow, Jiang Feng also had no intention of being polite at this time, he waved his hand impatiently, Zhang Liang behind him had already followed, Jiang Feng asked him to put the fire gun on the table.
Speak directly:
"You are all children of craftsmen, come and see if you can make this Franc machine's firecracker?"
Although this question was abrupt, these people were already grateful to Jiang Feng, and immediately dozens of people surrounded them, one of them picked up the firecracker, pulled out the firerope quite skillfully, and then paused on the table a few times, knocking out the projectile and compacted gunpowder.
Jiang Feng was surprised to see it there, the reason why he asked Tie Dan to buy more craftsmen or something in the Tianjin Guard House was because on the way to Tianjin, he knew that Tianjin's artisan camp was mainly to build firearms.
Although he is still doing some business in his duty, but it is better to prepare some things if he is prepared, and those people fiddled for a long time, and one of them said:
"My lord, this is an arquebus imported from Franco, and we also have it in the craftsman battalion, if you want to say that it can't be done, but the masters of the craftsman camp are all making the kind of bird guns with longer and thinner pipes, and they say that they are far away."
Jiang Feng's heart was irritable, and after hearing what these people could build, he immediately slapped the table and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, just try to make it according to this, you will use this household to take care of the home in the future, and tell Tie Dan what equipment you need, I will buy it for you, and the guy who saves his life will buy it himself, I don't have a sword or gun to call you here, if you go to see the king of Hades because of the weapon, I don't care."
This young man who grew up in the barracks since he was a child was not a person who farmed and ate steadily, so he was easily fooled when he heard that Chen Dahu was a soldier, but he was tossed worse than dead, so he escaped and ate a full meal, and when he heard Jiang Feng say that they should take care of the family and the hospital, their minds became active again.
And since I was a child, I followed my elders to cast cannons and make muskets there, and I also knew how to do it, and some people were there to rob me and grab them, and they were talking about what things and materials were needed to make this.
Jiang Feng watched these young people talking loudly, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little, Tie Dan had already come in after eating, he and many of these young people knew each other, and these newcomers were very embarrassed to see Tie Dan because of the fact that they went to serve as soldiers some time ago.
Seeing that Tie Dan was not angry with them at all, they naturally had no way of knowing the truth, and they all admired his generosity, invisibly, these people faintly regarded Tie Dan as their leader, of course, it was the meaning of the head of the family, but they knew in their hearts who spent money to buy them, who righteously saved them from the death mission of guarding the beacon tower in the north.
Seeing the iron egg come in, Jiang Feng opened his mouth and said:
"Iron Egg, if these boys want any equipment, just buy them for them, and remember to go to me and withdraw the money when the time comes."
Tie Dan respectfully agreed, Jiang Feng didn't want to delay here longer, he stood up and shouted, the scene fell silent, Jiang Feng shouted at these people:
"Do a good job for the master, the wine, meat, and money are indispensable to you, hurry up and beat the guy out of your hands, and let the uncle and I go to the home care home."
There was a bang around, these people had eaten a hellish life for a month and a half, this day felt as if they had come to Elysium, and their hearts were a little more desperate for Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng laughed and walked out, and Tie Dan followed behind.
The weather was cold, there was a fire burning in the stone house, Jiang Feng put down the curtain and closed the door after he came out, the sound inside and outside was completely isolated, Jiang Feng asked Zhang Liang to go over and greet Zhao Xiucai and the others to prepare to go down the mountain, turned his head and whispered to Tie Dan:
"You put the horse by your side, and tomorrow I will have someone bring you another one, and if there is anything wrong with the mountain, you can ride back to Beijing to find me."
Tie Dan was stunned, wondering why his master said this, Jiang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know if what I think is accurate, after all, being careful is the best policy, the people in this Zhuangzi don't know if it's reliable, you should also be careful."
Tie Dan suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that his master was cautious, and he was really a person who did big things, after telling him, he saw that Zhang Liang had already prepared everything, Jiang Feng got into the manned carriage by himself, and Zhao Xiucai carefully checked the list on the side.
Seeing Jiang Feng sitting in the carriage, he asked with some surprise:
"Host, don't we stay for one night before leaving?"
Jiang Feng saw Yang Da not far away and was quite happy to move things into the house with his wife, and glanced at Zhao Xiucai again, there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly:
"Hurry back and get ready for the food conference."
At this time, a little child ran out of Yang Da's house, and he was quite cute, so he rushed out of the house a few steps, and after seeing Jiang Feng and Zhao Xiucai, he was stunned and turned around and ran back to the house, which is also a common appearance of children who are afraid of life.
Jiang Feng suddenly said to Zhao Xiucai as if he was joking:
"Lao Zhao, does that kid really look like you?"
Zhao Xiucai's face twitched unnaturally, and then he replied naturally:
"The adults laughed......
