After returning to Qinglongzhai and taking a good bath, Liu Youtian came to report to the big leader Wang Hu. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

“……… To sum up, these are the situations that I have been working hard for more than ten days......" Liu Youtian, the four leaders of the mountain tiger, stood in front of the chair of the Juyi Hall and said in detail about the situation of the inquiry.

The three leaders, Lu Qing, glanced at Liu Youtian deeply when he heard this, and had a hint of jealousy of him in his heart.

Wang Hu smiled and praised: "The fourth brother is meticulous, in order to find out information, he is not afraid of dirty and tired to do hard work, it is really difficult for you, if this matter is done, the fourth brother should be the first credit." ”

The second leader, Chen Dashan, also smiled and said: "The fourth brother acts like this, it really makes me feel ashamed."

"The fourth brother is so down-to-earth, it seems that this ticket can be done." The fifth leader, Liu Fangfei, said with a smile.

The three leaders, Lu Qing, said; "Since everyone agrees to do this vote, then we have to find a suitable place to do it, the road from Yongxin to Ji'an Mansion is more than 100 miles, and we are more than 100 miles away from Yongxin and Ji'an Mansion, so we will choose to do it in the middle of Yongxin and Ji'an Mansion, so that it is difficult for the other party to find out what the people over there did afterwards, Yongxin Catch Kuai thought it was done by the bandits in Ji'an, and Ji'an Catch Kuai thought it was done by the bandits in Yongxin, and they would pinch each other ...... dog bite dog."

"Hahahaha...... The third child's method is good, so follow the third child's method. Prepare to go, put on makeup and go down the mountain seven days later, with the second and fourth children, each with a hundred people, and ambush at both ends of the black forest in the middle of the road between Yongxin and Ji'anfu. The big leader Wang Hu ordered.

"Obey the orders of the eldest brother! ......" everyone agreed, and walked out of the hall.

Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun returned to Yongxin from Nanjing, learned about the production and sales of soap and shampoo, and instructed Sun Laohan to strengthen the escort force during transportation, because he knew that with the sale of soap and shampoo, some people's business was crushed, and some people would have bad ideas.

After the instructions, they took the photo and put it in their personal bags, and the two rode to the county seat, and when they arrived at the gate of the county office, they asked to see Song County.

"Oh, Mingyuan is here, Master Niu, go and invite him in......" Song County Ling ordered.

Seeing Master Niu, Zhao Guohua hurriedly arched his hand and said; "Oh, in the next Bai Ding, how dare Master Lao take the driver, forgive the sins......" Master Niu smiled and said: "Brother Mingyuan, you and I don't want to be polite, come in, Lord Song is waiting for you inside." ”

After entering the county government and seeing the Song County Order, Zhao Guohua took a long look and said; "Mingyuan is a civilian, Lord Song cares so much, it really makes me grateful."

Song County Ling took Zhao Guohua's hand and said: "You helped me pay for this year's food, I should thank you well." ”

Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Lord Song, I am used to paying taxes in overseas Huaxia countries, and it is uncomfortable not to pay taxes." ”

"How can there be such a thing, don't lie to me......" Song Xianling said with a smile.

"Lord Song, what I said is true, in overseas Huaxia countries, from the emperor to the common people, you have to pay taxes," Zhao Guohua Zhengse said.

Seeing that his expression was free and not like a joke, Song County Ling asked suspiciously: "The emperor also has to pay taxes, but is it true?" ”

Zhao Guohua said: "It's true, there, the emperor is elected, he can only be for ten years, he has to pay personal income tax for the money he gets, he has to pay real estate tax for selling a house, businessmen have to pay business tax for doing business, and mineral resources tax has to pay for mining ......and so on."

"Oh, with so many taxes, how can people live there?" Master Niu exclaimed.

Looking at the two of them, Zhao Guohua said: "In Huaxia Kingdom, paying taxes is not for the Gong Emperor and officials to eat, drink and have fun, but to improve everyone's living standards, such as the cars, trains, planes, etc. I said last time, they are made with tax money, for example, Master Niu, your child is sick, and it costs one or two silver to see a doctor, and after the illness is cured, you can find the county government to compensate you for half a tael of silver, which is called medical expense reimbursement, and if you work until you are sixty years old and do not work, the state will pay you a pension until you pass away......"

"Incredible! Incredible! It's really a magical country, but it's a pity that I can't go, otherwise I really want to quit my official and go there to be a commoner, and live like that. Song Xian Ling said wistfully.

Master Niu muttered, "I really can't think of how the people of Huaxia came up with these methods......

After sighing for a while, Song County Ling came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Mingyuan, I heard that you went to Nanjing, why did you go to Nanjing for so many days before you came back?" ”

Zhao Guohua said: "Thank you Lord Song for your concern, I went to find Lord Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the household department in Nanjing." ”

"How did you know Master Bi?" Song Xianling asked curiously. Zhao Guohua said: "I have a man named Zhang Shun who is the apprentice of Master Bi, and this time I am accompanying him to meet his master. ”

"Oh, I see, I'll just say!" Song Xianling said with a smile.

Looking at the Song County Order, Zhao Guohua said, "My lord, I want to ask you for a document to buy a firecracker." ”

"You want to buy a firecracker?" Song Xianling asked in surprise.

Zhao Guohua nodded.

"Why did you buy a firecracker?" Song County Ling asked again.

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua said: "My lord, you already know what happened last time, last time it was a family member and a ruffian, and the next time it may be a bandit and a bandit, now the world wants to do something, it's really not easy, there is no ability to protect yourself, it's really too dangerous, of course, I also know that adults won't allow that kind of thing to happen, but some things will be dealt with when adults know, it's too late." ”

"This ...... What you said is not unreasonable, it's just a firebolt...... Let me think about it......" Song County Ling groaned. The firearm is a heavy weapon, although he and Zhao Guohua are very close, but after all, Zhao Guohua has no official body, and it is not suitable for his security team to have firearms, but the things he said are not impossible to happen, so only think of a proper way.

Seeing that Song County Ling was thinking, Zhao Guohua knew that he was considering the stakes of this matter.

It's no wonder that this matter is like in the later life, a big boss who is good with the ******** proposes to the secretary to equip his company's security guards with submachine guns, ******** dare to agree to such a request easily?

After thinking about it, Zhao Guohua said: "My lord, my current goods are to be transported to Ji'an Mansion, the distance is a bit long, and there is a great possibility of encountering bandits and bandits on the road, and it is very difficult to deal with bandits and bandits by relying on a group of security guards composed of villagers who have not undergone long-term training, so I made this request...... And I plan to raise the monthly tax from 300 taels to 700 taels from this month......

"Huh? …… Is this true? Song Zhixian Huo turned around and asked, looking incredulous.

"It's true, I don't dare to joke with adults...... Two days later, just ask Wang Zhutou to go to "Yongxiang Zhai" to get it. Zhao Guohua said solemnly.

After walking around the house a few times, Song Zhixian stopped, looked at Zhao Guohua, and asked, "I don't know how many firecrackers Mingyuan wants to buy?" And where are you going to buy it? ”

Zhao Guohua thought for a while, and then said: "At least one hundred rods, buy from the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau, and the documents for buying firearms are what the Ordnance Bureau needs." ”

"Okay, this official promised you, since the Ordnance Bureau agreed to sell you the firecracker, then there is not much to do, Mingyuan, you are worthy of coming back from overseas Huaxia, know the goods, the firearms of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau are better than the officers and soldiers of the general guard...... Haha......" Song Zhixian said, and laughed heartily.

After laughing, Song Zhixian picked up the brush, wrote the official document on the desk, and after writing, picked it up and looked at it, blew the ink, and then took out the big seal of the county government and dipped it in the ink, and with a "snap" sound, it was covered on the official document. The Great Seal was stamped

Song Zhixian picked up the official document and handed it to Zhao Guohua. Zhao Guohua took it with both hands and looked at the content, which read: "Zhao Guohua, the captain of the county anti-theft and county security team of our county, needs to buy 100 guns due to public security needs, please give convenience to the Ordnance Bureau." "In the lower left corner of the official document is the big seal of the 'Yongxin County Main Hall' and the signature of Song Zhong, the magistrate of the county.

"My lord's great kindness to the next will not be forgotten below, thank you, my lord......" said Zhao Guohua respectfully and long. Song Zhixian held his hand and said: "Mingyuan doesn't have to be like this, my ability is limited, in this turbulent world, I just hope that my eternal people can live a few more years of peace." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua thought to himself: "This is a good official, although he has some shortcomings, but he can still care about the people, if I have the opportunity, I must help him." ”

After gossiping for a while, Zhao Guohua said goodbye to Song Zhixian, went out of the county office, and went to Nanjing again with the official document issued by the county government agreeing to buy firecrackers and Zhang Shun.

In Mingfeng Village, two carts have been loaded with goods, which are full of soap, soap and shampoo, to be transported to Ji'an Prefecture, and the wholesale of the goods is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. Now I have to deliver goods to Ji'an almost once a week. This time, the escort team was led by Chen Chong, the squadron leader of the third squadron.

According to Zhao Guohua's request, the three squadrons took turns to act as escorts for the transport team, which was to train troops by the way, and long-distance training was also a method of training, and second, to avoid the phenomenon of uneven happiness and bitterness. Each time is led by three squadron leaders, the captain of the second squadron Ding Shun, that is, Zhang Shun, because he has to follow Zhao Guohua to do things, so the second squadron leader is temporarily represented by the squad leader Huang Deguan, this Huang Deguan has good ability, and the training results of the second squadron under his leadership are also eye-catching.

"Everyone, pay attention, now that the goods have been loaded, check them to see if there is anything missing, whether the food and water eaten on the road have been taken, and whether the rattan armor vest for the protective body has been worn, don't fuck the bandits and be shot to death when the time comes, blame Lao Tzu......" Squadron Leader Cheng Chong scolded with a smile.

"Fourth, did you hear the captain's words, your rattan armor vest is about to be worn, you have only been married for two years, if you are like that, your wife will be someone else's......"

"Put your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu wears a rattan armor every time he goes out, but you, I haven't even tasted femininity, it's a pity if you don't wear a rattan armor and you're shot to death......"

Listening to the jokes of his subordinates, Cheng Chong touched the rattan armor anti-arrow vest in his clothes, his heart was very steady, he admired the captain Zhao Guohua very much, and said in his heart: It is worthy of coming back from overseas, not only can he train the team, but he can also think of it in this way.

Chapter XXVIII

Since the formation of the security team, Zhao Guohua wanted to configure the armor for the security team, but the armor is too expensive, and difficult to make, a village security team configuration armor is too eye-catching, and the armor is too heavy, his future development is based on firearms, wearing armor to affect the action, thinking about it, he remembered the Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers, so he asked Sun Laohan to go to the mountains to find some wild rattans, after selection, found a kind of wild rattan, this kind of rattan toughness is excellent, elasticity is good, after drying is light, So he had a rattan vest braided, and after wearing it, it was tied from the back.

Through many experiments of spear stabbing and arrow shooting, he found that this kind of rattan vest only needs to be woven in three layers, and its anti-stabbing and anti-shooting ability is better than the cotton armor of the Ming soldiers, so he asked the women in the village to weave rattan armor for the team members to wear in their clothes as anti-bow and arrow vests, and the team members were still a little unaccustomed to wearing them at first, but under the strict requirements of their respective squadron leaders, they slowly got used to it.

"Assemble! Take a break, stand upright, look to the right, and report the number ......" Cheng Chong shouted as he stood in front of a team of fifty team members escorting the goods

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight......" the players shouted.

"Good! The team is assembled. Take a break, stand upright, look to the right, turn left, and set ......off," Cheng Chong ordered, and a small team dressed neatly in blue and black clothes and with red scarves around their necks followed the cart transporting goods to the outside of the village.

In the distance, on a tree, a man watched all this, wrote a few crooked words on a piece of paper, and then a dove rushed away.

After a while, seeing that no one was paying attention here, the people in the trees slid down and walked quickly towards the county seat.

"In the past, the other side informed the second leader, and said that the goods had left the village and would arrive in about an hour, so we would hurry up and rest, and then we would have the strength to fight." Liu Youtian, the fourth leader, commanded with a pigeon in his hand.

"Yes! The second leader, the little one immediately went over and informed the second leader, "A little minion promised to leave."

After coming down from the tree, Liu Qi, a member of the Yang Mansion, walked quickly to the county seat, and his legs were weak and numb, and finally met a cart that delivered goods to the county seat, and Liu Qi hurriedly spent five copper coins to sit on it.

Sitting in the car, he thought beautifully: The last time he and Zhang Wu went to inquire about the transportation of soap and shampoo in Mingfeng Village and the news in and out of the village, the young master rewarded the two of them with fifty taels of silver each, which was the top of his salary for four years, and he was very happy, and those silver were enough for him to live happily for two months at Widow Liu in Jijiao Lane, I don't know how much the young master will reward this time.

Thinking of Widow Liu's fat white ****** and bulging ****, Liu Qi's body was hot for a while, and his mouth was a little dry.

After entering the county seat and getting out of the car, Liu Qi hurriedly returned to Yang's mansion, and reported the news that he saw the goods from Mingfeng Village out of the village, and had used a pigeon to inform the Qinglongzhai ambush to the eldest young master Yang Rui, Yang Rui's eyes lit up when he listened, and he laughed and said: "You did it well, when this thing is done, I have a heavy reward, you go down first......

"Yes! Gentleman! Liu Qi bowed down and bowed, and went out with a smile.

Thinking of the stunned scene of those mud-legged people in Mingfeng Village when they heard the news that their soap and shampoo of tens of thousands of taels of silver had disappeared, Yang Rui's heart was happier than drinking iced sour plum soup on dog days.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he hummed a little song and went to a friend to drink flower wine.

Seeing the crowd of people queuing up to buy soap at the door of "Yongxiang Zhai" from a distance, Yang Rui couldn't help but walk over and stand on the opposite side and watch jealously. The guy in the store, Zhang San's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Yang Rui walking outside the store, he whispered to Zhao Liu in confusion: "Isn't that the eldest son of Yang Papi?" What is he doing here? ”

"You go and report to the owner." Zhang Sandao.

"Okay." Zhao Liu agreed, put down the work at hand, and ran to the backyard.

After listening to what Zhao Liu said, Qian Wancai said: "Okay, I know, you can go out." ”

After Zhao Liu went out, Qian Wancai thought for a while and walked out.

Seeing Yang Rui, Qian Wancai squeezed out a smiling face, bowed his hand, and said haha: "Ouch, isn't this Yang Gongzi, why do you have time to come here today, are you here to take care of the business of the small shop?" Don't know what to buy? ”

"Boss Qian, the business in your store is so good, it's really making money every day......" Yang Rui said with a fake smile.

"Where is this, Yang Gongzi has won the prize, and he is just making a little money to make a living." Qian Wancai said with a happy face.

Looking at his smug smile, Yang Rui couldn't wait to rush over and punch a few times.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred, the smile on Yang Rui's face gradually became a little unsightly.

"If you still have something to do, I won't accompany Brother Qian." Yang Rui said, bowed his hand to Qian Wancai, turned around and left.

Looking at Yang Rui's back, Qian Wancai laughed.

In the past, the resentment of being squeezed by the Yang family when selling soaphorn and poria paste can finally be vented by the people of the Yang family today.

Listening to Qian Wancai's smug laughter, Yang Rui's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and whispered as he walked: "Laugh, Lao Tzu will make you proud for a few more days" said while leaving quickly.

Besides, after Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun came to Nanjing, they showed the official document to Bi Maokang, and after reading the official document, Bi Maokang didn't speak, Zhao Guohua took out the photos to him again, carefully and slowly looked at the photos one by one, and after looking at them for a while, Bi Maokang put down the photos and said with a sigh: "This Huaxia country, I am far worse than Daming!" ……”

He stood stunned for a while, and then said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the Ordnance Bureau, you yourself and the Weapons Bureau Ambassador Wang Gui will talk about this, and the old man will be responsible for selecting the firecracker for you." ”

So the group went to the Ordnance Bureau, with the official document, and Bi Maokang's face, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau Wang Gui readily agreed to Zhao Guohua's request, and sold him 100 rods of Lu Mi Gong at the price of 30 taels of silver per rod, so 100 rods of Lu Mi Gong that had been inspected by Bi Maokang were boxed, and he bought 3,000 catties of gunpowder from the Ordnance Bureau at the price of 2 taels of silver and 1 catty.

In 1598 (the twenty-sixth year of Wanli), Zhao Shizhen asked the envoy of Lumi (Turkey) Duo Sima about the structure and production method of the musket of Lumi State, and made it into "Lumi Gun" after improvement. Shi Zai: "It weighs about seven or eight pounds, is about six or seven feet long, and the dragon head rail and machine are all in the bed." Four coins for medicine, three coins for lead bullets" when put, grab the hand in front, tuck the end of the bed in the back, only pinch the machine, do not dial the body and hands do not move, the fire door is a little farther away from the sight, the initial smoke rises, and it will not be shocking. In "Wu Bei Zhi", it is said: "Bird gun: Weilu Mi gun is the farthest and most poisonous." ”

The shape and structure of the whole Lumi gun is composed of a gun tube, a gun bed, a curved buttstock, a dragon head and a trigger, a fire gate, a rail, a front mouth, a rear door, and an aiming device called Zhaomen and Zhaoxing.

Its gun tube is cylindrical, rolled with refined steel sheets, and fitted by two large and small tubes, "four feet five or six inches long, about four or five catties in weight, the longer the better, the back is on the door, the front is on the star, the fire door is on the side, and there are two or three iron buttons, so that the nails are piggybacked, and there is no vibration when it is placed"; "a piece of steel at the back of the bed, upward, to make a blade"; "The belly is long, if the fire door, and lead, and the cloth paper and other things do not come out when washing, it is easy to open, turn left to enter, turn right to out"; The trigger and rail are made of copper and steel sheets, respectively, and are as thick as copper coins, hidden in the bed; The faucet nose and track are all installed on the gun handle, and a small steel plate of more than 1 inch long is placed close to the starting point to increase the elasticity, so that the bolt can be pinched and fallen, and it will bounce up on its own after shooting, which has good mechanical resilience.

The composition of the Lumi gun also includes a ****** powder canister, a powder canister for the issuance of powder, a slow-burning fire rope for ignition, and a cane. The fire rope is made of four strands of cotton wire, and the gunpowder "uses a pot for each gun, with copper for it, and the upper tube is just filled with a gun, and a piece of copper is used as the door under the neck. "The shape of the medicine jar is like a steamed cake, the mouth is as big as a chopstick, and the mouth is stuffed with wood, and it should be three inches long when it is used, so that it can be seen when it is returned"; "The rod is inserted under the bed of the gun, and it is used to build medicine and send children."

In short, the Lu Mi gun imitated by Zhao Shizhen has a long range, great power, superior shape than the Japanese bird gun, and a lot of progress in structure compared with the bird gun. The body tube is lengthened, the ignition device has also been improved, the faucet gauge is installed in the bed, the buckle gauge faucet falls on the fire door, and after the gunpowder is ignited, it raises itself. There is a steel knife at the foot of the bed, which is reversed, and can be used as a slasher in close combat. Among the more than 10 kinds of arquebuses developed by Zhao Shizhen, such as the Lu Mi gun, the Western gun, the electric switch, the Thunderbolt gun, the three-long gun, the rotary wing tiger gun, and the shock stack gun, the Lu Mi gun was undoubtedly one of the most prominent firearms at that time.

In order to ensure the safety of the goods during transportation, the Zhenwei Dart Bureau in Nanjing was hired to escort them.

Out of Nanjing City, Zhao Guohua and Zhang Shun and more than a dozen dart heads and executioners of the dart bureau, the group set off to Yongxin.

"Brothers, there is a black forest ahead, everyone be on guard." Cheng Chong commanded. The members of the security team were divided into two teams and walked quietly on both sides of the car.

Slowly, the car transporting the goods and the team escorting the car gradually walked into the ambush circle of the bandits in Qinglongzhai.

"Brothers, give me a ......" the second leader bantam tiger Chen Dashan shouted, and the minions with black scarves and masked faces rushed out with knives and guns in their hands, and the four leaders of the mountain tiger, Liu Youtian, also rushed out with another team of minions with blue scarves and masks, and soon the two teams surrounded the escorts of the Mingfeng Village security team and the delivery car.

"Captain, the masked face towels are different, it seems that there are two groups of people, and there are more than 200 people, what should I do?" Team leader Zhao Hu asked nervously.

"Formation! Raise the gun, the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the middle of the bandits. Cheng Chong said calmly.

It was impossible for him not to be nervous when faced with this situation for the first time, after all, he was just an ordinary farmer before.

Looking at the neat gun array of the security team, Liu Youtian, the mountain tiger, was also a little surprised, and was looking at how to rush in, but the bantam tiger Chen Dashan was different, he was just stunned for a moment, and said: "Brothers, these are the goods, a group of mud legs We rushed over and beat them away, these goods are ours...... said, and took the lead in rushing over.

"Step forward with your left foot, press down with a lunge, and stab ...... forward," Cheng Chong commanded loudly.

"Oops, my belly ...... Ah...... My ......" rushed to the first few minions screaming, clutching their stomachs or chests and collapsing.

Liu Youtian, a mountain tiger, couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in his heart: How can these security guards be more difficult to deal with than the officers and soldiers of the guard. With a roll of his eyes, he thought of a solution, and said loudly: "Brothers, each of you grabs a handful of soil, rushes over, first scatters soil to blind their eyes, and then rushes in and breaks through their formation, and we win." ”
