Chapter 189: Encounter

Everyone also knew that this was just a moment...... There will only be more and more beasts, and they can't keep guarding here all the time, these loyal and brave soldiers who died for the Ming Dynasty can only storm the wilderness, and finally be eaten by the beasts and turned into piles of white bones.

After passing through the battlefield, everyone's mood became very bad, and it was not until the depths of spring that the surrounding scenery became more and more beautiful, and everyone's mood gradually unraveled.

After the trip to the grassland, the eyes are full of hillsides or endless grasslands, and when they arrive in Liaodong, it is a snow-capped bad weather for several months, and it is not until this time that the spring in Liaodong finally arrives, and everyone realizes what a good place to be rich.

The land is extremely fertile, almost overnight the mountains and plains are hung with green, shrubs and trees pull out green branches and buds, the beasts almost do not hide their traces, as long as they want to fight, the beasts that are beaten in a day are enough to make Zhang Han and others' horse teams not move, there are many fish, the rivers have been opened, the water quality is good, there are all kinds of fatty fish in the clear stream, there are some sporadic Jurchen villages to reclaim some farmland and land, almost just sprinkle the seeds in the ground casually, a winter comes, the green seedlings have grown very high, the soil is sufficient, and the planting is thick, in the mainland, the method that is definitely not up to standard, but here there is no problem...... Li Laibin and Wang Yikui are considered to have planted the land, squatting on the ground and all of them sigh for a long time, Datong Xinpingbao is a rare plain area in Shanxi, and there are several big rivers passing by, but when it comes to the quality of the land, there are also a hundred streets thrown here in Liaodong, if it is the land in the northwest of Shanxi and northern Shaanxi...... A group of Datong people rolled their eyes and extinguished their thoughts of comparison.

"Proprietor, if we can buy land in the future, let's buy it in Liaodong." Wang Yikui rubbed the soil in his hands and said with a simple face: "If we don't want to make a lot of money in the future, we must be able to have hundreds of acres of land here, and we will be content to pass it on to our children and grandchildren from generation to generation." ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "We and Yusheng also want to make hardcore crops, a good deal that can be passed on to future generations, and all of you who follow me have a share." ”

Zhang Han has been thinking a lot about the future recently, and has gradually formed his own unique ideas, and he feels that he may find a new way out of the business market.

"Proprietor," Do'er, who was on the sidelines, said suddenly, "it seems that someone is quietly approaching us." ”

Zhang Han said: "Jurchen hunters? ”

"No, it's the Ming army, there are about thirty people, it's still far away, I guess they want to touch our sentry."

Zhang Han and Liang Xing unfolded the map and looked at it, only then did they find that this place was already far away from the Kuandian forts, on their left side was the border wall of Liaodong, less than ten miles apart, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and the woods were very dense, I didn't expect that the Ming army here dared to cross the side wall and dare to take the initiative to attack.

"I don't want to hurt anyone." Zhang Han frowned and said, "Think of a way." ”

……

"You are Mao Wenlong?"

In front of Zhang Han is a middle-aged man of about fifty, although he was pressed by Liang Xing and Duo'er, his expression and temperament were not flustered, a Chinese face, called dignified, a few strands of beard hanging down from his chin, stained with some blades of grass and soil, the skin of his face was very good, white and clean, and he could see that he was quite handsome when he was young.

Mao Wenlong didn't panic, just now they wanted to touch the whistle of the group of people in front of them, but the people had already prepared, set up an ambush in advance to occupy the favorable terrain, the key is that their fire guns are very good, not the kind of ordinary bird guns, but very sophisticated Lu Mi guns, very powerful, a round of salvo knocked over several people around Mao Wenlong, the rest of the people were pointed at by the mouth of the black hole, and no one dared to move, hesitated when a group of people rushed over, and immediately pressed Mao Wenlong and others down.

"Your firecrackers are good, it seems that you spent a lot of money to fight them yourself." Mao Wenlong said very calmly: "This official is Mao Wenlong, the garrison of Sanyang Fort, if this official has these good guns in his hands, many more people will die." It's you, the man of the Han family, who will see how you see your ancestors after you die in the future. ”

"Don't be blind, count yourself lucky, we're not really Tartars."

Zhang Han was a little excited, he didn't expect to see this controversial historical celebrity this time.

In any case, Mao Wenlong was still very good at fighting guerrillas during the Apocalypse, and Zhang Han was ready to win over this person.

Zhang Han asked someone to let Mao Wenlong go, Liang Xing hesitated a little, Zhang Han said: "Don't worry, I've heard of this person, Mao Shoubei is very shrewd and knows how powerful." ”

As soon as Liang Xing let go of his hand, Mao Wenlong stood up, rubbed his wrist, and squinted at Zhang Han and said, "How do you know this general in your next life?" ”

"I know a lot of things here in Liaodong." Zhang Han said with a smile: "Mao Shoubei is ambitious, and he wants to get ahead, right?" ”

Mao Wenlong from Hangzhou to Liaodong attacked the uncle's military position, asked his maternal uncle to take care of Li Chengliang, and became a hundred households in the martial arts, and soon became a thousand households, and was soon appointed as a garrison, thinking that he would soon be able to become a general, but he had been delayed in this garrison for more than ten years.

Mao Wenlong was a little surprised by Zhang Han's words, and said: "Which official doesn't want to climb up, what you said in the future is ridiculous." ”

"General Mao's opportunity is coming soon." Zhang Han said: "Liaodong will become more and more chaotic in the future, and the eldest husband should get ahead." ”

Zhang Han looked at Mao Wenlong, and said: "In the next Zhang Han, and Yusheng's shopkeeper, I am not afraid to say it here, I am doing smuggling business with Dongyu and Beiyu in Liaodong, if General Mao can take charge of one side alone in the future, we will have the opportunity to cooperate." ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes froze, and he said: "I went to Guangning once last month, and I vaguely heard that there was a big Han merchant activity in Beiyu, and I was very young, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

If you don't hear this rumor, Mao Wenlong's words to Zhang Han are just a joke, since you have heard of it, of course this Zhang Han in front of him is not bragging, and then look at Zhang Han's companions, all dressed as Han people, but they can move freely in the hinterland of the Jurchens, and they are all very skilled, and their temperament is also outstanding, Mao Wenlong has been faithful Zhang Han is telling the truth.

The eyes of a group of subordinates around Mao Wenlong were about to pop out, and they felt unbelievable.

"I just said General Mao, you're very lucky." Zhang Han smiled and arched his hand, and said: "Mao Garrison, go back quickly, I know you want to make meritorious contributions, but recently there are a lot of Jurchen soldiers in armor, and there are also a lot of white armor, and when their army is dispatched again, it will be easy for you to come here." ”

Zhang Han remembered that Mao Wenlong was later transferred to Liaoyang, and he was still garrisoned, until Guangning was appreciated by Wang Huazhen, and he was promoted to the capital division first, and later served as a guerrilla, and then came down to take more than 200 people to set off from the sea to recover Zhenjiang, shelter Liaodong refugees in Tuntian, Phi Island, train the army, and begin to harass the rear of the Jurchens.

Mao Wenlong glanced at Zhang Han, also arched his hand, and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Han said: "I was forced to hurt Mao's subordinates just now, I'm really sorry." ”

Liang Xing said to the others brought by Mao Wenlong on the side: "Brothers, I'm sorry. ”

"The crockpot will inevitably break, and when you are a soldier and eat food, you have to prepare for this day." Mao Wenlong was a little sad, he brought out all his henchmen, and he died several times like this, which was really wronged.

However, this also made him see Zhang Han's strength, and he deeply remembered the scene in front of him in his heart.

……

After Mao Wenlong and his party left, Liang Xing said to Zhang Han: "Owner, you seem to be particularly optimistic about this surnamed Mao?" ”

Zhang Han nodded and said, "It's really optimistic." ”

He continued: "You see the Ming fiasco now, the border is estimated to be flustered, now no one knows what to do, the one who can defend the fort with peace of mind is a good general, Mao Wenlong dares to bring people over to sentry, although the loss is in our hands, the reason is also to eat the loss of our firecracker, and he was captured for a while, this person is very bold, and has his own team, and it is not impossible to be promoted to the general army within a few years." ”

Liang Xing tightened the fire gun in his hand and said with a smile: "I only knew that this thing was really a sharp weapon when I came out this time......

Chang Wei also hugged his fire gun tightly, and he couldn't put it down, and the rest of them also had the same expression.

Everyone knows that it is incomparable since they saw the shooting of the Jurchens, and now everyone's only confidence is the firearm in their hands.

Zhang Han said: "The best way for civilization to defeat barbarism is to work in the instrument...... When I was in the Qin and Han dynasties, a Han soldier could fight five Huns, because the Han soldiers' ring head knives were sharper, the armor was stronger, and the strong crossbows were shot far and accurately, so a small number of Han soldiers in the border counties could resist the attack of the Huns until they were driven away. Later, the barbarians also advanced, if we didn't have something better, how could we say that the civilization of China was stronger than the Tatars? ”

He glanced at the firecrackers in everyone's hands, shook his head and said, "No matter how good the bird guns and Lumi guns are, they have serious shortcomings, our firearms need to be changed, and we must do better......

The most important thing is to see clearly the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, which is at the strategic level, and at the same time he has benefited a lot from tactics.

As far as firearms are concerned, the Ming army is using firearms on the battlefield, from cannons to shotguns, and some firearms are also very good, not much worse than the Lumi guns used by Zhang Han, and the Ming army also has Lumi guns in the array, but the workmanship is not as fine as Zhang Han's.

Even so, the firearms unit was useless under the onslaught of Houjin's arrows and heavily armored infantry horses.

Zhang Han concluded: "A large number of artillery pieces that can be easily used in battle are the most important, followed by guns that can be fired farther and faster!" ”

Liang Xing said: "There must also be a strong formation to hold their iron cavalry charge, otherwise people will rush into chaos and dare not fight hand-to-hand, and no matter how many firearms there are, it will be useless." ”

"Liang Xing is right." Zhang Han clapped his hands and laughed: "Sure enough, the benefits are not small." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, startling countless frightened birds.
