(xviii) Change begins today
In the past two days, in order to build mortars, the expenses were all from the 2,000 silver gifts given to him by Huang Shiyao. He also thought about taking some of the gold from the gold once the cost of building the mortar was not enough, but now that Xu Yuanjin had borne the cost and made it clear that it would come out of the captured bandits, of course he would be happy to ignore it.
When you don't have much money right now, try to be more careful!
"This He Hei Donkey is really not ordinary rich." Yang Shuoming finished reading the report, smiled, and returned the report to Xu Yuanjin, "However, these have to be handed over to the public, right?" ”
Xu Yuanjin sneered, and after taking the report, he tore it to shreds.
Looking at his movements, Yang Shuoming pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's nowhere to turn it in." Xu Yuanjin said calmly, "Let's use it to do something practical ourselves." ”
Seeing the exaggerated puzzled expression on Yang Shuoming's face, Xu Yuanjin walked to his side and whispered quietly in his ear, "Do you know?" The provincial capital has been lost. ”
Only then did Yang Shuoming understand why Xu Yuanjin said "there is nowhere to hand it in", and couldn't help sighing.
"Soldiers and bandits are coming together, but it's fatal." Xu Yuanjin's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, looked at Yang Shuoming, and said with a wry smile, "As the old saying goes: If there is a way in the world, it will appear, and if there is no way in the world, it will be hidden." That being said, this 'hidden' place is also hard to find! ”
Yang Shuoming met his gaze, smiled, and suddenly said, "What you Captain Xu said before, does it still count?" ”
"Of course." Xu Yuanjin said.
"Then let's work together to change all this." Yang Shuoming said calmly, his gaze turned to the shooting range again.
At this time, Huang Shiyao and Wu Jie, who were standing in the distance, did not hear the conversation between Yang Shuoming and Xu Yuanjin, Huang Shiyao's eyes were completely attracted by the mortars that the gunners were firing, and Wu Jie, who was beside him, looked at the shells that flew into the distant shooting range and exploded, and his hand involuntarily touched the Browning pistol on his waist, and a trace of inexplicable eagerness flashed in his eyes.
"Hasn't he come back yet?"
On the verandah of the Huangfu Garden, Huang Yunzhi, who was sitting on a chair, looked at the cheerful and free fish in the pool under her feet, sighed, and asked Yinfeng, the little maid standing aside.
As Huang Yunzhi's personal maid, Yinfeng certainly knew who Huang Yunzhi was talking about, and couldn't help but smile.
"Listening to what the porter said, Mr. Yang was afraid that the bandits would come to the town again to make trouble, so he made a cannon for the security team, but it was amazing, the master and Steward Wu followed over to see the cannon," Yinfeng replied, "They should be able to come back together in a while." ”
After listening to Yinfeng's answer, Huang Yunzhi fell on the back of the chair a little depressed, and her thoughts began to fly boundlessly, but she couldn't do without the handsome and vigorous figure that suddenly appeared when she was most desperate.
Who the hell is he? What does it do?
How could he have understood so much?
Where did he get his skills?
She asked herself this in her heart more than once.
For a girl like her, the story of a talented and beautiful woman like "The Legend of the West Chamber" has long been familiar, but she never thought that a similar story would really happen to her.
It's just that these experiences are not all so romantic as they are written in the story.
Thinking of the bloody scenes where he killed the bandits, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
And when he was lying in a coma on the bed and calling himself "Mom" in front of her eyes, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Thinking back to the days when she took care of him, she felt a faint warmth of happiness flowing through her body.
"Look! Miss! The lord and Mr. Yang are back! Yinfeng gently pulled Huang Yunzhi's hand, Huang Yunzhi turned around and looked into the distance, and sure enough, she saw the figure that made her often insomnia.
Yang Shuoming and Huang Shiyao walked side by side at this time, and Wu Jie and a few people followed behind them. Huang Shuyao couldn't stop talking to Yang Shuoming, Yang Shuoming just smiled and nodded, he seemed to glance at this side inadvertently, his eyes happened to meet Huang Yunzhi, and at a glance, his face was slightly red.
Huang Yunzhi turned her head a little flusteredly, and her heart somehow began to beat violently.
I don't know how long later, he and his father disappeared into the corridor, Huang Yunzhi easily regained her calm, and was about to find an excuse to go to Mrs. Huang's place and ask her to accompany her to visit him, but Yinfeng's words made her heart beat again.
"The master should have proposed to Mr. Yang." Yinfeng looked at her with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss Hexi." ”
"How do you know?" Huang Yunzhi suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and she couldn't help but blush with shame.
Yinfeng smiled happily, "I'll go and inquire now." She let go of Huang Yunzhi's hand and ran away quickly.
Just as this ghost elf little maid guessed, Huang Shiyao had officially proposed to Yang Shuoming, of course Yang Shuoming did not refuse, but agreed to it.
Yang Shuoming, who had returned to the room at this time, was also thinking about the inadvertent glance just now.
Being able to marry a beautiful, lovely, gentle and considerate girl like Huang Yunzhi as a wife was originally one of his life wishes that he wanted to fulfill.
In the era when Yang Shuoming was originally located, where the "smiling poor and not smiling prostitutes" could produce a "charity" that lived in a villa and a mansion and carried Hermes to open a Maserati, such a wish was simply an unrealistic fantasy for an ordinary person like him.
Even if you can marry such a beautiful woman after working hard for half a lifetime, in addition to being able to squander her at any time, you must always beware of her red apricots coming out of the wall.
And now Yang Shuoming doesn't need to worry about being the third grandson at all.
From the meticulous care and meticulous care of Huang Yunzhi in those days, we can know what kind of good life a girl like her, who is deeply "poisoned" by traditional Chinese culture and feudal etiquette, will bring him a better life after marriage.
It's just that what makes Yang Shuoming worry now is whether he can keep this happiness that is simply unattainable in the future in this turbulent era.
Yang Shuoming had just learned from Xu Yuanjin that the Hukou fortress had fallen, the Yuan army commanded by Li Liejun had suffered heavy losses, and the Beiyang Army led by Li Chun had entered Jiangxi and was heading for Nanchang.
For remote towns in Jiangxi such as Shuanglong Town, the strength of the Beiyang Army was difficult to reach for a while. The greatest threat to the people of Ssangyong Town and the surrounding area is still the fierce bandits.
This is also the reason why Xu Yuanjin is in a hurry to expand the security team.
In order not to cause panic among the people in the town, Xu Yuanjin did not openly recruit manpower, but adopted the method of temporarily recruiting the children of Zhuang Hu into the security team with the money obtained from the exterminated Ranshi Mountain bandits, and gave them the necessary training to deal with emergencies.
Although the last time the security team exterminated the bandits entrenched in the Troubled Stone Mountain, it gave the bandits in the nearby area a huge deterrent, so that they did not dare to attack the idea of Shuanglong Town for a while, but the bandits often have a lot of eyes and ears in various towns, once they know the fact that there is no brigade of officers and soldiers stationed in Shuanglong Town, they are likely to unite and launch an attack.
For the people of Ssangyong, their danger has not really been lifted.
In fact, if it weren't for Yang Shuoming, who was a "supercomputer" traverser with his eyes, Ssangyong Town would probably have become a ghost world infested with bandits.
Thinking of the new mortar he had built for the security team, Yang Shuoming's heart was still full of a sense of achievement.
Now Yang Shuoming has made up his mind.
Since you're here, you're going to mix it up in this era!
With his "supercomputer eyes", he is not afraid that he will not be able to change history!
Changing history starts with yourself!
Thinking of this, Yang Shuoming's eyes fell on the box gun pistol in his hand. And at this moment, in his eyes, an exploded view of the parts of this pistol appeared.
As a world-renowned generation of famous guns, the box gun was not used as formal equipment by the army of any country in the world, and now the number of people entering China is not much, the main reason is not because its design is not advanced, but because it is between a rifle and a pistol, as a pistol is too large, and as a rifle the power is a little small, plus the price is more expensive than ordinary pistols, and the structure is more complex, so it was not able to enter the military market in the end.
Later, the box cannon can shine in this land of China, a major reason is that since the Boxer Rebellion, Western countries began to impose an arms embargo on China, but pistols are not among the embargo, as a pistol box cannon plus a wooden box holder can be used as a carbine, and the price is cheaper than carbines, so it is deeply loved by the Chinese, and later entered China in large quantities.
In the last night attack on the bandit cave, Yang Shuoming summed up the advantages and disadvantages of this pistol based on his personal experience, and on this basis, a bold idea appeared in his mind again.
Is it possible to design a combat pistol with a simple structure, greater power, more ammunition capacity, and fully automatic shooting on the basis of the box gun made by the Germans, so as to replace the box guns that later entered China in large quantities and occupy the domestic market in China?
Such an idea, just thinking about it, has already made Yang Shuoming feel excited.
As soon as Yang Shuoming's idea appeared, the line drawings of various combat pistols in his eyes immediately began to surge, constantly decomposing and combining, and proposing the best answer for Yang Shuoming.
