Chapter 457: Carriage Solicitation

There was nothing to do along the way, but when passing through the town, Jiang Feng instructed his subordinates to buy rice paper in the shops in the village and town and handed it to Deng Min, holding the clerk's hard pen, and asking him to draw the machinery in his impression.

But this request for him to draw the instrument made Deng Min panic, and he thought that after drawing this image, he would be killed.

Deng Min hesitated there not to paint, Jiang Feng was not embarrassed here, but he was rushing towards Yangzhou City, and he didn't spend much time on the way, and when he returned, he could rest at the inn.

When passing through a county town, the person who was watching the Cao Gang finally delivered the news to his own people, but the person who received this information was not the Cao Gang, but the branch stores of the Thirteen Chamber of Commerce, and the shops below were all simply doing business.

For the so-called reward of 100,000 taels of silver, it is only circulated in the underground world of Jiangnan, and the gang of the Cao Gang told the guys of the shop what they knew, and then attached a token, with this token, the shop must pass the news to the general number in the fastest time it can do.

Jiang Feng came to Jiangnan to observe, and the plan to capture Deng Min was originally temporarily joined, but now that the purpose has been achieved, the next step is to go to the south of the Yangtze River or return to Huazhou by boat.

came to the outside of Yangzhou City, but Jiang Feng did not enter the city, and the inn outside stopped, and arranged for his subordinates to go in to take Tang Xuan in, and roughly pack up the things. Jiang Feng was reluctant to enter the city, because of the situation at this time, if there was any situation after entering the city, even if he wanted to run, he would not be able to escape, as soon as the city gate was closed, the water would be open, and he would be locked in the door with a scale of less than 100 people.

The shopkeepers and stewards of the Yangzhou branch of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, when they heard that Jiang Feng and his party were leaving, everyone was relieved, although they didn't know the specific situation of the fight by the lake, they had heard of it, although the matter was covered up.

But such a big bloody thing is not something that these businessmen can bear in their hearts, but Sanjiang Commercial Bank is the most lucrative and stable business, and they are not willing to leave easily. Jiang Huifeng, the owner of the trouble, finally left Yangzhou, and this is the best result, the trouble is gone.

If they knew that Jiang Feng was the leader of Huazhou, the owner of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and Huazhou Qianzhuang, and the protector of the sea fleet, I am afraid that Jiang Feng would have been surrounded by people a long time ago and flattered him in a big way.

Tang Xuan was still riding in the carriage, the girl was quite scared, thinking that she was about to be thrown by Jiang Feng in Yangzhou, Tang Xuan's mood was very strange, when she was in Jiang Feng's hands, she didn't want to be with Jiang Feng, and felt that Jiang Feng's bloody anger was too terrible.

But now she is ready to follow Jiang Feng with all her heart, and she is afraid that the other party will abandon her, and when Jiang Feng's subordinates come to answer her, she can be regarded as relieved.

At that time, whether it was the north or south of the river, the application of horse-drawn carriages was not much, carrying people was a relatively close journey, in fact, it was the freight of large carts that were really widely used, because the carriages of this era were not as comfortable as those of later generations, and the wooden wheels or iron wheels covered with iron were not comfortable on the bumpy road.

The cost of such a carriage is not a lot, and it is not more convenient and comfortable for people with this money to carry a sedan chair, so the north-south traffic, long-distance travel is generally based on boats, or horseback riding, of course, where there is no river, there is no other way for women and the elderly and weak to do anything other than to take a car, but it is extremely hard.

This point of the cart was greatly improved by the Dutch craftsmen of Huazhou, and Europe was much more advanced than the East in terms of horse-drawn carriage at this time. In the Netherlands, the people of Washington have improved the axles and shock absorption measures so that the carriage does not bump too much in such bad road conditions.

This kind of technology has been slowly spreading, but under the deliberate control of Huazhou, in addition to the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and related carriage and horse shops, the imitation of other places is not too much, the technology is not complicated, sooner or later it will be learned into the hands, and now it is as much as possible to delay the process.

However, Jiang Feng's team must have a carriage, but it is not for any comfort, this group of people are all martial artists, and their riding skills are extremely sophisticated, and they are much more comfortable on a horse than in a carriage, you know, when they set off, they didn't know that Tang Xuan existed.

But there are not only carriages in the team, but also two, this is a special arrangement made by Sima Cheng and Thirty-three Wei for Jiang Feng's safety, and the two carriages are placed with firearms and various items in the dark box below, but the carriage is still empty.

However, the carriage was surrounded by decks and asbestos compartments, which the Thirty-Three Guards had experimented with, and without the use of smokeless gunpowder, the arquebus of the present standard could not penetrate the carriage within seventy paces.

Moreover, if it is besieged, two carriages and horses can be enclosed to make a simple fence.

Tang Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, thought that Jiang Feng had arranged a carriage for him, and the girl was quite moved in her heart......

Jiang Feng's subordinates always maintained a state of being ready to set off at any time, and as soon as Tang Xuan and the follow-up men went out, they would immediately set off on the road.

After Deng Min knew his situation, he also became a lot quieter, except for being unwilling to draw drawings, he just sat there without talking at other times.

The information collected by Sima Cheng, who was waiting for Yangzhou and Jiangnan, and the spies on the periphery, had already been collected into the hands of the people left behind, and after leaving the city, he immediately told Jiang Feng. The Deng family in Songjiang was burned, human heads were dug up in the ground, and various gangs were chasing and killing with all their might.

At this time, Deng Min was lying on his back in the other carriage, the brigade was already slowly starting, Jiang Feng jumped from his own horse to the carriage, lifted the curtain and went in, the coachman on the side smiled, Jiang Feng's horses were still running with the carriage when Jiang Feng jumped into the carriage. The coachman adjusted the angle and stretched out his arm to tie the reins of Jiang Feng's horse to the carriage.

Jiang Feng leaned comfortably on the carriage and said leisurely to Deng Min who was lying in the carriage:

"Your home and workshop have been burned down now, and your family and friends are not dead, but they are all thinking about exchanging you for 100,000 taels of silver, what are your plans now?"

Deng Min and Jiang Feng's dealings in the past few days have been fought, Jiang Feng has always been kind and pleasant to technical talents, which makes Deng Min not very afraid, and he speaks a lot more casually, but what he said is not a little vigorous, and he said incomparably:

"What else do you have to plan, the world is getting bigger, it seems that there is no place I can go, no matter what, I Deng Min is also a person who has eaten and played, and this life is worth it."

"Are you really dead?"

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Deng Minteng did it, although he didn't dare to stretch out his hand to point at Jiang Feng, but he also had a gritted teeth expression on his face, and said hatefully:

"How about not giving up, can you still run, you caught me, don't you also want to exchange for a reward of 100,000 taels? I'm a man waiting to die. ”

Speaking of this, he fell down on all fours again, and said with a cry in his mouth:

"What else can I do, I can only wait to die."

Jiang Feng laughed and said:

"I don't care about this 100,000 taels, I appreciate this equipment you made and your idea, how about following me?"

As soon as these words came out, Deng Min over there didn't look a little obese at all, he suddenly got up, stared at Jiang Feng and said:

"What? You're not going to trade me for money? ”

Jiang Feng looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, Deng Min's face gradually resembled a glowing appearance, and his breathing became shorter, and after a while, he said unexpectedly:

"The Thirteen Chamber of Commerce said something in Jiangnan, it is more effective than the town guards and eunuchs in Nanjing, what are you, dare to compete with them......"

As if to confirm this sentence, the carriage suddenly remembered the sound of "Dangdang", and almost at the same time, there were screams and exclamations around the carriage, and almost at the same time, the coachman nervously lowered his voice and said:

"Master, we're surrounded!"

At this time, the prosperity of Jiangnan is very different from that of later generations, now on both sides of the highway, almost populated, on both sides of the official road in Jiangnan now, there is also a place where no one is, Jiang Feng They left Yangzhou City for half a day, that is, they came to such a deserted place.

The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and there is also a river on the side of the official road, the boats on it are scarce, one side of the official road is a low hill, and the other side of the river is also an endless fruit forest, there are few people, when Jiang Feng and his party arrived at this road, they listened to a few grain boats on the shore, moored on the shore, and a group of guys chatted and laughed there, and it seemed that they stopped here to eat and rest.

Jiang Feng's horse team naturally didn't delay for a long time, and the grain ships like the river in the south of the Yangtze River were too common, and there was nothing unusual at all, so they didn't pay attention to passing by.

Unexpectedly, just after passing by, the men sitting on the bank of the river suddenly picked up their bows and arrows and firearms on the ground, and they should have buried them in front of them, and began to attack the horses and knights.

What's even worse is that the rumbling horses' hooves come from far and near, and they are definitely not their own people......
