Liu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him curiously, Zhang Xiaosi, nicknamed Zhang Maniac, had fought against You Boda before, and he couldn't do his kung fu in his hands, but he was ruthless, and there was a lack of such ruthless people in the army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yo, isn't this a madman? The former platoon commander of a company and a platoon of the 15th Battalion is now a regiment commander? ”

Zhang Xiaosi was excited all of a sudden, but he didn't expect the lord to know that he not only knew his nickname, but also remembered his original position.

Zhang Xiaosi, who was blushing, spoke excitedly: "I, my subordinates, what am I, I must live up to the lord's father, my truth, swear to protect the lord!" ”

"Haha!" Liu Zheng was amused by Zhang Xiaosi's nervous appearance all of a sudden, got off the horse and came to Zhang Xiaosi's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, I know your loyalty, but loyalty is not said with your mouth, but done with your actions!" What kind of action is considered loyalty, not to ask you to sacrifice your life to protect me, nor to obey my words, but to lead your brothers to survive on the battlefield as much as possible, such as your 116th regiment, the whole regiment plus you have 1052 people, while ensuring the completion of the tasks assigned by the superiors, the brothers of the whole regiment survived 900 people, which is considered loyalty, but the whole regiment only survived 500 people, that is a big disloyalty! ”

Zhang Xiaosi nodded seriously and said, "Lord, I remember!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "What do you have to report when you come to see me?" ”

Zhang Xiaosi was so excited that he almost forgot about his business, and said with a rare expression of shame: "My lord, our division commander arranged for our regiment to sneak to the ancient city guard last night, observe the situation, and then wait for the main force to arrive, so as to cooperate with the main force to seize the ancient city guard, but we arrived at the ancient city guard after a night of rapid march, only to find that the situation was different from what our division commander had estimated, the division commander said that there were at least three or four thousand people in this guard, but our people went in and looked at the situation, most of the camp tents were empty, and there were no beds. When I heard the news, I wanted to serve them directly, but to be on the safe side, we carefully observed the situation of them burying the pot and cooking in the morning, and the result was that there were less than 400 people, so I immediately ordered to do it! ”

"As a result, as soon as they saw us, they surrendered, and I captured their commander, and then, and then I found out that something really big!"

Liu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

Zhang Xiaosi scratched his head, and then said with a very exaggerated expression: "Silver, all silver, and copper coins, full of copper coins!" ”

"What is all silver? What exactly did you find? ”

"That is, silver, silver all over the ground, lots and lots of silver......"

Liu Zheng is a little confused now, it's not strange that there is silver in the ancient city guard, but what's the matter with the silver all over the ground?

"Where's your commander?" Liu Zheng felt that it was in vain to ask Zhang Xiaosi at this time, he was too excited, it was more appropriate to find Zhou Yun and ask about the situation!

"The division commander is in Guchengwei, I was sent by the division commander to invite you, and he said that you must go to Guchengwei!"

Guchengwei is not close, starting from Jiaozhou to Guchengwei to take the official road is 120 miles, the horses they ride are ordinary war horses, in the case of good road conditions, one hour can run 30 kilometers, run more than two hours to arrive, can not be so calculated, now seeing that the sun is about to go down, the official road from Jiaozhou to Guchengwei has been in disrepair, the condition is very poor, run to the ancient city of Wei to say that it is time to get a child, but when it comes to the time of the main force is almost outside Jimo City.

How do you give it up? Liu Zheng made a difficulty.

He lowered his head and muttered for a long time before he said: "You go back and give your division commander an order, if the amount of silver is not too large, send someone to find a logistics force to pull the silver back to Qingzhou, if the amount is particularly large, arrange a regiment to be stationed on the spot!" The others quickly moved in the direction of Jimo! ”

Zhang Xiaosi made a mistake this time, the order he received from the division commander was to ask the lord to go to Guchengwei, but the lord asked the division commander to lead the troops to Jimo as soon as possible, and Zhang Xiaosi suddenly thought of something during the dilemma, and his face was happy.

"By the way, my lord, I forgot to say it just now, the ancient city guard not only has silver, but also cannons, several cannons, the division commander said that he doesn't understand that thing, so you must go and see it!"

"What?" Liu Zheng was shocked: "Cannon, there is actually a cannon in the ancient city guard?" ”

"Yes, there is a cannon ......"

"Ma Ning!"

"Here!"

"You quickly go to the front of Fushan and find Zeng Kaiyu......"

……

When it was almost time, Liu Zheng appeared in the camp of the ancient city guard, and Zhou Yun greeted Liu Zheng and pulled him to the warehouse where the cannons were stored without saying a word.

After Liu Zheng lifted the red silk, eight cannons that exuded cold were reflected in Liu Zheng's pupils.

"This is the Hongyi cannon? That's not right, at this time period, the Hongyi cannon hasn't been passed yet, what kind of cannon is this? ”

Although Liu Zheng muttered to himself, in such a quiet night, Zhou Yun, who was standing beside him, still heard it clearly, and said: "Lord, I asked the commander, this is the craftsman's newly modified tiger squat cannon, which is going to be transported to North Korea, but it was served by us before it could be transported away!" ”

"Tiger squat cannon?" Liu Zheng began to recall the appearance of the tiger squat cannon he saw on the Internet in later life, but he couldn't match the number: "This is the tiger squat cannon?" Why don't you have those two front paws? And the tiger squat cannon isn't so thick, right? It feels like the kind of bowl cannon used by Taizu when he was a child! ”

Zhou Yun also scratched his head a little, after all, he didn't understand this, and suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands and said, "By the way, lord, let's just call those craftsmen and ask if they can't!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Zheng looked at Zhou Yun suspiciously: "Craftsman? You say the craftsmen are here too? ”

"Yes, here!" After Zhou Yun finished speaking, he suddenly said with a high voice: "Lord, you see I forgot to tell you this!" ”

"Lord, I still remember what you said when you made a plan with the old man, you occupied the ancient city guard because the ancient city guard had food, but after I came, I realized that this is not a granary at all, no, you see my fucking stupid, this is a granary, but there are others, this is still a craftsman battalion!"

"What !!" Liu Zheng was completely shocked at this moment: "This is actually a craftsman battalion!" ”

"Yes, there are many, many craftsmen, some who can make cannons, some who can make birds, some who can make bows and arrows, and most of them are blacksmiths who play knives and guns!"

"I took the test, I made a fortune, I got rich, big brother, let's make a fortune!" Liu Zheng was indeed excited, and he was not called Master Zhou anymore, and he was replaced by the eldest brother, but he didn't blame him for being so excited, he had been in Qingzhou for three years, not to mention the gunsmith who could make cannons, even his mother who could make birds, and even now in his craftsman area, the craftsmen who made bows and arrows were dozens of hunters he had collected over the years.

"Big brother, you didn't do anything to those craftsmen, did you?"

"How is that possible? Lord, it's not like I don't know about our situation! These more than 100 craftsmen, I have asked people to serve them! ”

"Then big brother, what are you waiting for, hurry up and invite someone here!"

"Lord, it's time for this!"

"Hey, I'm in a hurry, so I have to meet them early tomorrow morning!" Liu Zheng said as he reached out and stroked the cold barrel, these are all good things, a sharp weapon for siege, if you want this thing, who is he afraid of?

"By the way, big brother, I heard from the madman Zhang under your hand that there is a lot of silver here?"

"Huh?" Liu Zheng's thinking jumped a little fast, and Zhou Yunleng said after a while: "Lord, there is a lot of silver, and there is a lot of grain stored here, isn't it, the commander is really a talent, and he sold the grain almost for more than 200,000 taels of silver, some of which he dug and buried, and some of which were not buried before they had time to be buried, they were all piled up in the warehouse, not only to sell grain to make money, this guy also sold smuggled salt, and made a lot of money, but the money was not transported back to his hometown here!" ”

Liu Zheng's brows twisted suddenly, although he is now also short of silver, but now he is even more short of food, although the summer grain is about to be harvested, but this year he is tax-free, and the control area will also be tax-free, so in order to ensure that the army has enough food, he will take the money to buy it from the people, and the money will go to the sea, it was expected that the food after the ancient city guard was laid to support the military for a year, but this ......

"Big brother, how much food is left in this ancient city guard?"

"It's not much, about 160,000 stones, more than half of which are old grains, and they are all real numbers, and now there are more than 40,000 points left, all of which are new grains from last year!"

After saying this, Zhou Yun followed closely and said: "Our Ming Dynasty is the implementation of the military system, the grain of the guard can basically be self-sufficient, only the border pass is short of food, and only the border pass will have a big granary, the reason why there is this ancient city guard is that the heads of these guards get it in order to make money for themselves, the silver given by the imperial court, they dare not blatantly greed for ink, so they thought of such a compromise method, all bought into grain and stored here, and then after a year or two, the account was completely rotten, so they sold the grain and divided the silver together!" ”

"Holy shit!" Liu Zheng scolded fiercely, no wonder he felt strange at the beginning, Shandong is not a border pass, how can there be a special granary, it turns out that this is the case, although there are many guards in Shandong, but each guard is a military cantonment system, during the war for soldiers and idle for farmers, food is completely self-sufficient is exaggerated, but there is no need to buy so much grain, it turned out to be to find a name for greedy ink.

Suddenly, I thought that fortunately, there were more than 200,000 taels of silver, and a large number of craftsmen he urgently needed, which made Liu Zheng's mood less depressed.

"Did the commander of the dog day ask where the hometown is?" A look of hideousness appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

Zhou Yun knew what Liu Zheng meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, before we entertained him with eighteen kinds of martial arts, he recruited himself, his hometown is in Wendeng, and the largest house in Wendeng County is his house, and the money he has gotten over the years is buried under the garden behind the village." ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Well, pick out all the officials under him, and then let him lead the way!" ”

Zhou Yun groaned slightly: "The lord is not suitable, it's the middle of the night, if you let them go at this time, it will be difficult to control where they run, why don't you take them to Jimo tomorrow, and after Jimo City is broken, let them flee to Wendeng with Jimo's defeated soldiers?"
