He thinks that the old man is exaggerating the power of the Tartars, otherwise, how could he let Zhao Manzi's militia make meritorious contributions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He lived forty or fifty years, and he had heard and seen many things

In his heart, the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Jiubian Elite, the other officers and soldiers are scum, not to mention the militia group, and the militia group that doesn't want Zhao Manzi can still be rewarded for meritorious service, which makes him have a little doubt about what the old man said about the Tartars.

Hearing him question what he said, Yang Degui was very unhappy,

Glaring at him, Yang Degui said: "The Jurchen is invincible, this sentence is not blown out, it is summed up by the lessons of countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with blood." The border army of the Ming Dynasty is the elite of the imperial court, they dare to fight and dare to rush in front of the Liukou, but against the Tartars, they are more defeated and less victorious, Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi, Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen, the military department Shangshu and the right deputy capital Yushi Wang Zaijin, etc., these people are defeated in front of the Tartar array, do you say that the Tartars are not terrible? ”

Yang Fu also knew that these people were the masters of the moment in the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't dare to say it anymore.

In Qinglong Village, Jinggang Mountain, the big leader Wang Hu, the second leader Chen Dashan, and the fifth leader Liu Fangfei were discussing the departure of the volunteers. They already knew that the volunteers went north to Beijing to fight the Tartars, and for this reason, they have been worried about the volunteers, especially the three leaders Lu Qing and the four leaders Liu Youtian, and the three of them are even more worried.

"Fifth sister, you said that they have been gone for so long, why has there been no news? Will it be the whole army......" the second leader, Chen Dashan, said worriedly.

Giving him a blank look, Liu Fangfei reprimanded in a coquettish voice: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Not to mention anything else, just with that magic gun, can't you rush out if you can't beat it? Really, it's all frustrating. ”

"Second, what the fifth sister said is that I don't think this Zhao Guohua is a short-lived person, and I can't say this again in the future." Wang Hu said. At this time, one of his subordinates ran in and said, "Mingfeng Village has sent someone to deliver a letter. ”

"Come in, please." Wang Hu hurriedly said.

Immediately, a peasant walked in, saw the three of them, bowed down and said, "Below is the left-behind team of Mingfeng Village, who was ordered to deliver a letter to several leaders." ”

"Show me." Liu Fangfei said, took the letter and tore it open and looked at it.

Because the big leader Wang Hu and the second leader Chen Dashan are not very literate, the two of them can't write except for their own names.

After reading the letter, Liu Fangfei exclaimed with joy: "Great! That's great! We have hope. ”

"Fifth sister, what good things did you say inside?" The second leader, Chen Dashan, asked eagerly, scratching his ears and cheeks as he spoke, looking sad.

Wang Hu also looked at Liu Fangfei with a wistful expression.

Yan Ran smiled, Liu Fangfei smiled, and said coquettishly: "Two elder brothers, the letter said that the Volunteer Brigade defeated the Tartars in Zhuozhou and captured more than 5,000 war horses. ”

"I'll just say it. The Volunteer Brigade will be fine. Wang Hu said with a smile.

Chen Dashan excitedly circled around the room and said: "We are right to join the volunteers, it seems that I will have the opportunity to become an official in the future." ”

Giggling, Liu Fangfei said coquettishly: "That's a natural thing, the tide of the Volunteer Brigade is rising, and we will naturally follow the boat." ”

Hahahaha, Wang Hu laughed......

At noon on this day, Texas' "Penglai Restaurant" was full of friends, full of people, and it was very lively.

Good food and wine flowed upward, and at the middle table, Zhao Guohua, the governor of Texas, Hua Runze, and the commander of the Dezhou Guard, Qi Xinren, were seated, and on both sides were Zhang Shun, Cheng Chong, and Lu Qing, and the officers who accompanied the Dezhou Guard's fellow intellectuals and commanders.

"General Zhao, come on, come on, try our Texas grilled chicken, this kind of chicken is like lying on its side, the color is red and fragrant, the meat is tender and delicious, the meat is rotten and fragrant, and even the bones are crispy and fragrant when chewed, which can really be said to be fragrant and fragrant. Come on a piece. As he spoke, the prefect Hua Runze took a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it in Zhao Guohua's bowl.

Zhao Guohua took a bite, and sure enough, a mouthful of incense, he said while chewing: "It's simply delicious in the world." ”

Hearing him say this, the Texas officials were very happy, and after commanding Qi Xinren to be unwilling, he took a piece of meat and put it in Zhao Guohua's bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao try this again, this is the famous Baodian donkey meat, which is characterized by delicate meat, thin but not firewood, rotten but not scattered, and full of fragrance." We have a saying here that "the chief steamed buns, big willow noodles, and donkey meat should be eaten in the store". Baodian donkey meat is not only delicious and delicious, but also conducive to relaxing the muscles and activating the veins, opening up the acupoints. Therefore, Baodian donkey meat has become a must-have food for local martial arts practitioners."

"Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the earth. Brother Qi said, I have to eat more of this thing. As he spoke, he picked up the donkey meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

This banquet was eaten until the third watch of the month, and everyone was full of wine and food.

Bidding farewell to the prefect of Hua and the command of Qi, Zhao Guohua took Zhang Shun and others back to the barracks.

As soon as he got up, Lu Qing came over and asked: "General, Texas is also a big city, and there are a lot of silver numbers, should those silver be exchanged for silver tickets in Texas, so as not to continue to march with it is not convenient." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Guohua said: "What you said is right, you and Niu Huan, Liu Guangzu and a few team members will find two carriages to pull the boxes." The people of Texas already know our clothes, so in order to avoid attracting attention, you should change into people's clothes. ”

"Okay. Let's go change our clothes. Lu Qing said and went out.

After changing his clothes, he hired a carriage among the people who delivered the food, packed these boxes, loaded some grain on them, and pretended to be merchants who transported the grain, and headed for the city of Texas.

Shengjing Armament Supervisor, craftsmen are busy, making armor, making bows and arrows, and iron-casting cannons, they are very busy.

Ren Changshou and Zhao You led the craftsmen to imitate the bullet casings and bullets of the Type 81 rifle, but they failed again and again, so that they knew this thing, I am afraid that they would not be able to make it with the current technology.

After learning more about the militia group's burst of fire that day, the superintendent Ren Changshou and the chief craftsman Zhao Youcai took the bullet casings and bullets of the Type 81 rifle and went back to ponder.

After thinking about it for several days, I finally figured out one thing, that is, the brass cylinder was filled with gunpowder, and the conical gun was stuffed into the brass cylinder, and then the gun flew out to kill people by impact.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't make the shape of the yellow cylinder.

I found a few Westerners to see, but they didn't know why. There was no way, they had to enter the palace and ask to see Huang Taiji.

"Your Majesty, after many days of pondering this thing, we have also consulted some Yangyi, and we have come to a conclusion." Ren Changshou knelt and said.

After glancing at them and seeing that there was no joy on their faces, Huang Taiji knew that the conclusion was not very good, and he asked in a flat tone, "What is the conclusion?" ”

After hesitating for a while, he looked up at Huang Taiji's face, and seeing that he was not happy or angry, Ren Changshou suppressed his fearful mentality, and said boldly: "Not only can't we make this thing, but no one in the Ming Kingdom can make it." ”

"Really? This is something that the militia in Zhuozhou has used, since the Ming Kingdom can't make it, then where did they get it? Huang Taiji asked.

"Honorable King of the Great Qing Khan, can I say a few words?" Churchill, a Westerner, said in a strange voice.

Churchill is a Westerner, came to Daming to pan for gold, did not find gold in Daming, so he took the initiative to defect to the Qing army when the Qing army entered Daming, because he knew a little about cannon casting technology, he was assigned to the ordnance superintendent, and also divided two Han girls to be his wife

Now he couldn't go home.

Glancing at him, Huang Taiji said, "Churchill, do you have anything to say to Helian." ”

Bowing down to his chest, Churchill said: "Your Majesty, the great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I have seen these things, the production is very exquisite, it cannot be made without large tools, and large tools, not to mention your Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, even our European continent does not have it, this is what I want to say to Your Majesty." ”

"If you say so, then I ask you, where did this thing come from?" Huang Tai Chi Dao asked, holding the bullet casing.

Pointing to the sky and shrugging his shoulders, Churchill said: "I am afraid that only God knows this question." ”

After being silent for a while, Huang Taiji said to Ren Changshou and Zhao Youcai: "Okay, this thing will not be studied for the time being, you will concentrate on making the Five Thunder God Machine or Thunderbolt Gun, and you will be rewarded for it, and you will be raised into the Zhenghuang Banner, so that you can enjoy the status and treatment of Gushan Meller." ”

"The status and treatment of Gushan Melle of the Yellow Flag?" Ren Changshou and Zhao Youcai muttered.

In the Qing Dynasty, this status and treatment are extremely high, except for the kings and the beylers and beziers, there are few whose status surpasses it, which is equivalent to entering the ranks of the nobility

This glittering bait caused the two of them to almost have a cerebral hemorrhage, and the two of them kowtowed to the ground: "The villain will definitely complete His Majesty's trust." ”

Smiling slightly, Huang Taiji said: "Lian also counts, as long as you make it, Lian will definitely fulfill its promise." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Ren Changshou and Zhao Youcai kowtowed, they got up and retreated, and Churchill also bowed and retreated.

Holding the bullet casing and being stunned for a while, Huang Taiji knew about this, and he had to use the secret agents lurking in the Ming Dynasty.

After knowing that the volunteers were from Ji'an, he looked through the secret files of the secret agents last night.

Houjin has ears and eyes lurking in many places in Daming, and when he looked through it, he happened to find that there was a spy in Ji'an, which was lurking in the Qing Dynasty many years ago, and this spy has not been used for more than ten years.

He said to Fan Wencheng: "Xian Dou, you can arrange to send someone to Ji'an, find a person codenamed Lao Yang, and inquire about the situation of the Ji'an Volunteer Brigade." The contact information is ......" as he spoke, he whispered a few words to Fan Wencheng.

"So it's him?" Fan Wencheng said in surprise, and then Shi Li stepped back.
