Lin Yu taught Xu Gongji how to shoot, and told him the parameters: "General Xu, this gun has an effective range of about 400 meters, a magazine capacity of 150 liters, and a single shot can shoot 40 bullets per minute.

It can also be fired continuously, theoretically more than 600 bullets can be fired in one minute. However, we are short of bullets, so you need to use them sparingly. ”

Xu Gongji hung the swarthy rifle on his back and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the last general will never waste a bullet, and he will never shoot until he has to!" ”

Wei Guangdong reminded stupidly: "Gongji, Governor Lin just said to lend it to you, and when you come back from Fengyang, don't forget to return it to Governor." ”

"Huh...... I know this in my heart, such a valuable item, the last general will not dare to ask for it! ”

Xu Gongji smiled calmly, hugged his fist at Lin Yu and said goodbye, turned over on his horse, and greeted, "The cavalry battalion will set off with me, and the target is Fengyang City." ”

The sound of horses' hooves clicked, and Xu Gongji took the cavalry battalion to the direction of Fengyang overnight.

Half an hour later, 30,000 Caojiang troops arrived at Wumadu one after another, met with Ying Tianwei, who was well-fed and drunk, and marched to Fengyang in the night.

Fang Guoan avoided Lin Yu and didn't see him, and Lin Yu didn't bother to see him, expecting a warlord to sell your life to you was simply a fool's dream. As long as Cao Jiangjun can follow behind the tank, he will be content with Wei Linyu.

Zhang Chenglin led his 500 private soldiers to open the way at the front, Lin Yu drove Merkava to follow, Wei Guangdong and Zhu Youliang led Ying Tianwei soldiers in the center, and 30,000 Caojiang troops followed last.

A total of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, holding torches, rushed overnight, winding on the post road, like a fire dragon.

There is an official post avenue from Fengyang to Nanjing, which is enough for four carriages to walk side by side, and it is at least a two-way four-lane road before Lin Yu crosses. And it was built with lime mixed with stone rammed earth, which was flat and solid, which greatly accelerated the marching speed of the troops.

By about one o'clock in the evening, the brigade had already walked forty miles north, and the average marching speed was close to ten miles, which was the absolute standard of a rapid march.

After walking for half the night, the team was already sleepy, Lin Yu walked out of the tank and inquired, and learned that he had entered the territory of Liuhe County.

When the army crossed, the local government naturally could not stay out of the way, and had to inspect the post roads along the way, repair the bridges, and clear the roads of idle people, etc., to ensure that the army was unimpeded.

Deng Yuanfa of Liuhe Zhi County had already taken a few subordinate officials at this moment, led hundreds of errands to wait on the side of the road, and prepared rice and mung bean porridge to reward the army.

"This place should not be far from Gujiazhuang, it is better to send them to Gujiazhuang first, and then let Gu Jinchao send someone to escort them back to Yangzhou. Now is the time to employ people, just to bring Gu Jinchao along the way. ”

"The whole army rests on the spot for an hour, buries the pot to make food, and continues to march after eating and drinking!"

After Lin Yu gave the order, he sent someone to call Deng Zhixian, asked where Gujiazhuang was, and instructed Wei Guangdong: "I'll go to Gujiazhuang to visit an old friend, and I'll come when I go." ”

"It's really a Shibei three days to be impressed, before you went to Nanjing, you were still a four-grade general soldier, and in a blink of an eye, you became the governor. Xiaguan really admires the five-body throw, let Xiaguan lead the way for you! ”

Deng Zhixian nodded and bowed, like a pug, and galloped with more than a dozen errands holding torches and riding horses, leading the way for Lin Yu in front.

Half an hour later, Gu Jiazhuang was in sight, and Gu Jinchao, who got the news, hurriedly led someone to greet him with torches.

Lin Yu stopped the tank and pushed down the three women who were sitting and napping: "Mother...... Well, from now on, you can't call me a lady, you should call me a lady. Madame woke up and went to Gujiazhuang. ”

Jiang Ruhua rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Oh...... There are only seventy or eighty miles left from Gujiazhuang to Yangzhou, so we will take a little rest and buy a carriage to return to Yangzhou tomorrow. ”

Lin Yu stroked his beloved wife's hair: "I am kind to Gujiazhuang, the young owner of Gujiazhuang has promised to serve under me, and I will ask the owner of Gujiazhuang to send someone to send you back to Yangzhou." ”

Seeing Lin Yu get out of the ironclad car, Gu Decao's father and son stepped forward to salute, "Hehe...... Lin Du Du revisited the village, the pengsheng was shining, and he quickly entered the village to drink a glass of hot wine. ”

Gu Jinchao was dressed in a military uniform, hugged his fists and said: "Dudu, the villain has already packed his bags and gathered more than 30 young people who are interested in protecting his family and defending the country, and he will follow you on the journey to resist the Qing Dynasty tonight." ”

Lin Yu patted Gu Jinchao's shoulder with relief: "With Brother Gu's help, Lin is like a tiger with wings!" ”

Gu Decao looked at Lin Yu in military uniform, and felt remorseful in his heart. This young man was promoted to the third level in just a few days, becoming the youngest governor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that he is definitely not a thing in the pool.

knew that this was the case, and that day he would marry his daughter to him no matter what, even if he was a concubine, he would not lose money. And now that I mention this matter again, it is inevitable that I am suspected of greedy for wealth and nobility, and it seems that this matter can only be left to chance.

Lin Yu saluted Gu Decao and said: "The soldiers are fast, Fengyang is in a hurry, just drink and skip the drink, and then come to disturb Gu Lao after the Tartars retreat." ”

"State affairs are important, and the old decay will not keep the governor!"

Gu Decao was also bold, "The old man prepared 20,000 catties of grain and 3,000 taels of silver to reward the army, which should be regarded as repaying the governor for rescuing Gujiazhuang." ”

Lin Yu hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Gu Lao, but these soldiers and horses eat the food and salary of the imperial court, and even if you save it, you will be filled by some people." Keep it for now, and when I recruit soldiers and horses, I will send someone to fetch them. ”

Gu Decao understood: "Haha...... The old man understands, the old man understands! ”

Lin Yu introduced Jiang Ruhua, who was dressed as a man, to the Gu father and son: "This is the clumsy Jing Jiang family, the daughter of the late Jiang Guoan, the governor of Dengzhou, and the niece of the Shi Pavilion Department. For the convenience of the road, they dressed up and hurried with me, and the owner of the village sent someone to send them back to Yangzhou after dawn. ”

After Lin Yu left, Gu Decao sent someone to Yangzhou to inquire, and learned that he already had a wife, and his wife was the niece of Shi Kefa, the cabinet minister and Yangzhou governor of the dynasty, so it was not surprising.

"The old man has seen Madame!" Gu De operated the salute, "Please ask Mrs. to enter the village to rest, and send someone to send you back to Yangzhou after dawn." ”

Jiang Ruhua returned the salute: "This will bother the old man." ”

Gu Jinchao also stepped forward to pay homage to Mrs. Du Du and proposed: "Now that his injuries have improved a lot, let him send his wife back to Yangzhou tomorrow, right?" By the way, where did this girl go, why didn't she come out to meet the governor? ”

Gu Decao also looked around: "This girl heard that Governor Lin is going to lead an army to pass by our Liuhe tonight, and I guess that Governor will definitely come to our Gujiazhuang, I didn't close my eyes in the middle of the night, why can't I find anyone at this time?" ”

Lin Yu was quite happy when she heard this, Miss Gu heard that she was coming to Gujiazhuang tonight, and she didn't close her eyes for half the night, could it be that she was moved by herself? Then let her get acquainted with Jiang Ruhua as soon as possible, and get along well in the future.

"Dad, brother...... I am back. ”

While he was talking, Gu Jinchao, who was wearing a purple long skirt, hung a scimitar at his waist, walked in the wind, and walked out of the village with great strides. When walking, the ponytail keeps jumping, and it looks very heroic.

"Come and see Lin Dudu!"

Gu Decao scolded dissatisfiedly, "Your life-saving benefactor came to visit, but he couldn't find you, what's the reason?" ”

Gu Jinxi saluted Lin Yu: "The governor is here, and the little girl is far away, but I have something to delay." ”

Lin Yu smiled and returned the salute: "The girl is polite in the past, I came to ask the owner of the village to send Jing back to Yangzhou, and I was disturbed late at night." ”

Gu Jinxi looked at Jiang Ruhua and praised: "Mrs. Zun is really everyone's demeanor, a virtuous couple and a talented woman, a match made in heaven." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a handkerchief from his father's sleeve: "Borrow my daughter to wipe her hands." ”

Gu Decao didn't take it seriously, but after Gu Jinxi wiped his hands, he threw them straight to his feet, which were covered with red blood stains.

"What did you do now?" Gu Decao was taken aback.

Gu Jinxi spread his hands, and said in a relaxed tone: "Kill people!" ”

"Murder?" Gu Decao was shocked and angry, "Who did you kill?" ”

Gu Jinchao suddenly had an epiphany: "In the past and present, you said that you were going to kill the captive, I thought you were just talking casually......"

Gu Jinxi looked disdainful: "Miss Gu, when did I stop talking?" Since I said that I would kill them, I will certainly do what I say. For the traitors who surrendered to the Tartars, I see one and kill the other! What's more, it is a dog traitor who bullies our people, and he is even more innocent. ”

After Gu Jinxi finished speaking, he said to Lin Yu: "Lin Dudu, I will correct all these traitors on the spot for you, you don't have to thank me!" ”
