Chapter 340: Departure
Chapter 340 Begins
After Wan Qiyang returned to the room, he deliberately went to Zhuang Ming to ask him to prepare the things he was going to take away tomorrow, so that he could leave in time for the morning, he still didn't want to wake everyone up, and he still didn't want to see the parting scene. But he didn't expect that there was an accident, that is, as soon as he arrived outside the courtyard where Zhuang Ming lived, he heard someone talking inside. And Wan Qiyang is still very familiar with it, and everyone seems to be condolences to each other.
When Wan Qiyang stepped into the courtyard, he saw a familiar figure at a glance, isn't this Zhuang Yang? That is, Zhuang Ming's cousin, a Shandong Han who used to sell fish in the capital. How did he get here? It seems that he has just arrived in Chengdu Mansion. By the way, Wan Qiyang heard Zhuang Ming say that his brother might come to Chengdu Mansion a month or so ago, isn't this just that he lacks manpower, and Zhuang Ming does have some skills and some brains, so it is better to take him to sea this time, and Zhuang Yang's water nature is quite good. It must be right to take him to the sea, thinking of this, he also decided to come down, originally he still wanted to take Li Chang, with Zhuang Yang, a better candidate, Li Chang often kept in touch with Qiao Zhi in the house, as the person in charge of the contact between the two sides.
"Hahaha! Brother Zhuang Yang, what kind of wind blew you over! Wan Qiyang laughed and walked into the courtyard!
When everyone heard Wan Qianyang's laughter, they immediately stepped forward, and Zhuang Yang was naturally even more surprised, how could he let Wan Qianyang know when he arrived?
"Childe, Zhuang Yang came to defect, I hope it's not too abrupt!"
Wan Qiyang stepped forward to straighten Zhuang Yang and investigate carefully.
"I must have been tired all the way, and I have lost a lot of weight. It's just that you may not be able to stay in Yangfu now! When Wan Qiyang said this, including Zhuang Ming, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what Gongzi meant, don't you want Zhuang Yang? I also said before that his brother must stay when he comes!
Zhuang Yang was also stunned, but then he was relieved, it may be that Yang Mansion has enough manpower, and he was about to say that it doesn't matter, but he heard Wan Qian Yang Gongzi say again: "Brother Zhuang Ming also knows that I will leave Chengdu Mansion early tomorrow morning, and I want to come over and ask him if he is ready." Since you met, let's set off together early in the morning, but this is really difficult for you, and you have to work hard all the way with me! ”
Zhuang Ming breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he didn't expect that what Gongzi said was this, it was really worrying.
But Zhuang Yang was surprised and delighted, what is the situation, he has just arrived here and has not yet settled down, Wan Qiyang Gongzi is ready to take himself with him, how much trust should this have in himself! Hurriedly expressed his position, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with his hands and said solemnly: "Zhuang Yang is willing to suffer from dogs and horses for his son, I am not tired, it is really an honor to be able to follow my son." ”
Wan Qiyang hurriedly helped Zhuang Yang up, "Let's talk about this, Brother Zhuang Yang will rest early tonight, Brother Zhuang Ming, you let the kitchen cook a few dishes and let Brother Zhuang Yang have a good rest first, let's set off before dawn tomorrow morning, don't notify others, we will prepare the equipment tonight, remember to inform the person in charge of Jingdezhen of the Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce." Then I'll prepare for my side first, Brother Zhuangyang, we'll see you tomorrow morning! ”
"Childe go slowly!" Zhuang Ming temporarily arranged Zhuang Yang in his room, and then sent Wan Qiyang out of the courtyard, and by the way, he went to the kitchen to ask someone to cook a few side dishes.
"Brother Zhuang Ming, I'll work hard for you after I leave!" Wan Qiyang personally asked him to take care of the affairs of the entire Yang Mansion, what a lot of trust this is!
"Childe, rest assured, one day with Zhuang Ming, Yangfu guarantees that it will be a brand-new Yangfu inside and out!"
Zhuang Ming naturally patted his chest and assured, which also made Wan Qiyang nod heavily to express his reassurance!
Wan Qiyang naturally brought his personal belongings, and then classified the prepared tips one by one and annotated them, anyway, he had instructed that only those who he had specially instructed could enter his study, and the key to the study was kept by Song Changqing. He told who could enter the study, Song Changqing naturally did it completely, and also took this study as a key protection object, and the anti-theft measures here can be said to be the strictest!
The next day, Wan Qiyang woke up before dawn, which was also his usual time to practice, but today was the time for him to set off. When he was dressed and opened the door, he found several people waiting for him in front of his room. Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Yang took the person in charge of Jingdezhen to wait for him for a while.
Wan Qiyang didn't say much, took his belongings, and then said a few words to Zhuang Ming and walked out of the gate of Yangfu, but the situation outside the door made his eyes moist a little. Originally, he wanted to leave quietly and not let everyone feel sad about parting. But I didn't expect that I had become a spiritual pillar in everyone's hearts.
Dozens of people looked at him with a reluctant gaze, and he looked around and nodded to everyone. The voice was not loud and said: "Thank you all for coming to say goodbye, I hope you will work as hard as ever during the time I left Yangfu, live a happy life, and when I return, I hope I will surprise you and everyone will bring me the same surprise!" ”
Wan Qiyang's voice was not loud, but when it was silent, except for the torches held by the people in front of him, everyone was silent. After Wan Qiyang finished speaking, he shook hands with everyone present one by one, patted those he knew better, and finally said goodbye to Li Chang, Wei San, Song Changqing and the Long Long brothers.
"Let's go!" Wan Qiyang let out a low roar.
In addition to the horses of the three people, there were two horses carrying luggage and belongings, and gradually the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded in the mansion, and as the sound became farther and farther away, everyone entered the Yang Mansion. What Wan Qiyang didn't know was that his beauties were all looking at the firelight on the side of the courtyard gate in their attic, they knew that it would take a long time for their men to come back from this trip, and at the same time, they also took their due responsibility for themselves, and they all silently prayed for their sweethearts at the same time.
Just when Wan Qiyang had not yet left the city gate, because the city gate had not yet been opened, there was a sudden fierce sound of horses' hooves behind them, and two or three horses could be discerned by listening to the sound.
Soon caught up with them, and found out up close that it was actually the three Zhao Long brothers, because there were still a few brothers on the side of the ironworks, so someone still needed to bring recruits and train veterans.
"Childe, my lord asked our brother to come and see you off!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and rode towards the city gate.
"Open the gates!"
With General Zhao Long, these soldiers guarding the city naturally did not dare to slack off, of course, they also knew Wan Qiyang's son, and this instructor was also famous in the military camp, so Wan Qiyang was not afraid that he would not be able to get out of the city gate.
"Brother Zhao, I have a lot of work for you. After I go to sea this time, Lord Cheng will be even more indispensable to your brother's assistance, remember two points, the ironworks must be controlled by their own people, and then the coke that comes out must be strictly guarded, remember one point, if Brother Li Chang has news to bring you, you must put it in the first place, if there is no accident, the biggest accident is that the person from the capital has been relieved of Lord Cheng's military power. If so, let's just do the opposite. When Wan Qiyang said this, he naturally whispered in Zhao Long's ear, and at the same time told him a shocking news that he couldn't use the red bag until he had to.
It turned out that Wan Qiyang had secretly asked the Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce to transport gunpowder materials in the name of transporting medicinal materials, and piled up a lot of black powder products in the basement of his mansion, the mixing ratio of these gunpowders was of course the most reasonable ingredient in the future generations, Wan Qiyang only did it with Wei San and Li Chang when he did this, so everyone except the three of them knew it. Although gunpowder has always been strictly controlled by the Ming Dynasty government, especially the mixing ratio of materials made in it, how would anyone know that Wan Qiyang's information is more advanced and scientific than they are now. Wan Qiyang also made several very special parts from the ironworks, which were also decided to be used to make guns after many experiments after Wan Qiyang made a relatively satisfactory iron ingot. Later, after Wan Qiyang was formed, it became two heavy machine guns, especially when making bullets, Wan Qiyang had a headache, because it took him a lot of time to make molds, and each bullet was also melted with copper coins collected by himself, so the number of bullets was not too much, and it mainly played a deterrent role.
