Chapter 41: A Martial Artist with a Brain

At the time of the third watch at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the backyard of the inn where Wang Yu and the others lived before, there were several large carts parked, and the carts were full of goods, which seemed to be very heavy.

In the courtyard, several big men were sitting on the steps drinking. They are responsible for guarding the goods, but basically someone is here, so many goods, who has the ability to snatch them directly. If there's a stir, they'll hear it directly.

Gradually, when it was almost time for the fourth watch, they were almost drunk, and fell asleep on the steps.

At this moment, a dark shadow scurried into the backyard and came to the side of the cargo. The black shadow didn't say that he would take the goods away, no one had such a great ability, he just opened the box and checked what was inside.

Among them, the sacks are filled with salt, and the boxes are filled with iron.

Salt and iron were not in short supply in the Ming Dynasty, but on the Jurchen side, they were in short supply.

This black shadow is Wang Yu, as soon as he sees these things, he can immediately be sure that this Boss Qiu must be trading with the Jurchens.

He didn't stop there, but after a little tidying up, no one would notice any traces of the turning, and he immediately jumped out of the courtyard and returned to the inn where he was staying.

Early the next morning, Wang Yu issued two orders, the first was to let Wu Dazhui not have to find any middlemen, just keep an eye on Boss Qiu's gang in the inn. Because these people want to trade with the Jurchens, we just need to know where they are going, and the black eats the black and makes this vote. The second order was that he asked Wu Erzhu to rush to Jinzhou on horseback, and asked Lei Hu to bring people to Liaoyang for reinforcements, preferably with a hundred people.

Don't look at the many people under Wang Yu, but on the last trip, there were a lot of casualties, so he took the existing people and horses to do another ticket, and he couldn't do it at all. You must know that last time it was more than 100 of his 100 people against 100 Jurchens, and he also had an advantage in numbers. But this time, the Jurchens are estimated to be no less than a hundred, and Boss Qiu also has a hundred people here, if he wants to annihilate them all, without two hundred, it is absolutely not enough.

After giving the order, Wang Yu felt that with these people, he might not be able to completely annihilate the other party. It is a good idea to borrow troops from Mao Wenlong, but if the officers and soldiers are mobilized, God knows if it will cause any trouble. The last time he drank with Mao Chenglu, he didn't plan to borrow troops from Mao Wenlong.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yu came up with an idea, that is, let's not borrow soldiers, whether he can borrow a firearm or not.

There are firearms in these years, which belong to standing weapons, and Mao Wenlong's military camp should also have them.

So, Wang Yu went to Mao Wenlong's military camp with the mentality of giving it a try, and after meeting, he proposed that he wanted to borrow the firecracker.

Since he has accepted Wang Yu as his godson, and he also knows what he is doing with borrowing firearms, Mao Wenlong didn't say a word, and said directly: "Second brother, how much do you want to borrow, I have five hundred three-eyed firecrackers here!" ā€

As soon as he heard that there were so many, Wang Yu was very happy, and immediately said: "Just borrow two hundred." ā€

Mao Wenlong took Wang Yu to mention the three-eyed fire gun. After seeing this thing, Wang Yu was a little surprised.

It turns out that the three-eyed firebolt is three iron pipes welded together in a zigzag shape, and there is a handle at the back, there is no trigger at all, and if you want to launch, you need to ignite the fire rope, which is a big gap compared with the musket in the late Qing Dynasty.

Mao Wenlong asked Wang Yu to teach Wang Yu how to use the three-eyed firecracker, and when it was launched, Wang Yu found that this three-eyed firearm was not ordinary, it was quite powerful.

Although this thing needs to be lit, the three iron pipes are interconnected, and after the arquebus is lit, three bullets will be fired in a row, which is already very powerful in this year.

Just imagine, in this era, the two sides fought against each other, with two hundred people on each side, with knives on one side and three-eyed firearms on the other. didn't wait to get closer, one side shot with a three-eyed fire gun first, at least it could put down a lot of people. If you hit it again, it will be obvious who will win and who will lose.

Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh that the invention and creativity of the people of the Ming Dynasty was amazing.

It's a partial van again, and it's a three-eyed firecracker, Nima can't beat the Jurchens, it's unreasonable, how did this battle go. In addition, during the Ming Dynasty, firearms were so advanced, how could there be so much gap between the late Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Nation Alliance?

At this moment, Wang Yu summed up a little experience, that is, no matter how powerful the equipment is, who will use it. If you let some selfish and timid people use it, it will be in vain to give you a tank.

On this trip, Wang Yu returned with a full load, bringing back two hundred three-eyed firearms and a lot of projectiles. Wang Yu led them to speak out and taught everyone the method to use, the power of the three-eyed fire gun was amazing, and the earth leopards under his command opened their mouths as soon as they saw the power of this thing.

In an inn, Mr. Cao was drinking tea with the three of his men.

In this kung fu, after one person entered the door, he knelt down on one knee directly and reported, "Lord Qiyu, there is a new move over there Wang Yu!"

"What move?" Mr. Cao asked indifferently.

"Wang Yu first sent people to Jinzhou, and he was observing. In addition, he recently went to Mao Wenlong's military camp and borrowed 200 three-eyed firearms. The spy said directly.

"Oh?" Mr. Cao immediately smiled, and only said after a while: "Wang Yu, this kid, is really a martial artist with brains." ā€

"My lord, what the hell is this kid's idea?" Ye Sanniang asked curiously.

"He borrowed the three-eyed firebolt, and he would definitely have to fight the Tartar again. I said that he tasted the sweetness last time and would definitely do it again. Mr. Cao smiled.

"I said that the officials and troops of the imperial court have been defeated repeatedly, this ordnance and firearms, if they say that they will borrow money, there is simply no royal law!" Ye Sanniang pouted and said.

"This kind of thing is not in our hands. There is only one thing we have to do now, and that is to act with Wang Yu, and this time we can't let him kill all the Jurchens......" Mr. Cao said.

Speaking of this, Mr. Cao looked at Ye Sanniang with a smile and said, "Sanniang, please take a trip this time." ā€

"What's the matter?" Ye Sanniang hurriedly asked.

"When you go to Wang Yu, you say that we are short of money now, and ask him if he has any good business introduction. Although Wang Yu won last time, he also lost a lot of people, and the manpower was obviously insufficient, otherwise he would not have been able to send people to Jinzhou to transfer people. Although Jinzhou is not far from Liaoyang, it takes a lot of time to come and go. Whether he can come in time or not, Wang Yu should not be sure, with us taking the initiative to help, he will definitely accept it. I estimate that he is very likely to let you make a price first, to see if it is worth it, you first ask for the price, wait for him to sit on the ground and pay the money, and then promise him that it is. Mr. Cao said with a smile.

"My lord, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let Mr. Zhu do this?" Ye Sanniang said embarrassedly.

"Let you go, and you go." Mr. Cao's voice sank.

"Yes." Ye Sanniang didn't dare to say more, so she hurriedly agreed.

Wang Yu is now ready for everything, with two hundred three-eyed firearms in hand, he believes that there should be no problem in making this deal.

There may be only one thing missing, that is, whether Lei Hu's men and horses can arrive in Liaoyang before Boss Qiu's departure. If Boss Qiu leaves early, it will be troublesome, and his own manpower will inevitably be insufficient, so he can't rely on the hundreds of people in his hands and the people on both sides of the family to fight hard.

Last time, I did a business, Wang Yu has rules here, as long as you make money, everyone will share it together, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. You know, everyone is making money with their lives, and after a trip, someone will die. If the money is not in place, who is willing to work hard, after all, they are not the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they can't say that they are sacrificing their lives for the country, and if they die, they don't even have a name.

Wang Yu took out a thousand taels of silver and divided it among the big guys, it is still the old rule, the brothers who are not injured, ten taels of silver per person, and the injured ones are added two taels of medical expenses. The brothers who died had a settling-in allowance, which was recorded in the register first, and when they returned to Jinzhou, they were sent home.

As soon as he finished handing out the silver, someone from outside came to report that someone wanted to see him, and that the person who came was a sissy, but it was quite fierce. Wang Yu immediately guessed who the visitor was, and wondered in his heart, why did Ye Sanniang come again, and asked, it was still alone, so he ordered to be invited.

Ye Sanniang came to Wang Yu's room with a big smile, Wang Yu put tea on the table, saw her enter the door, and directly invited her to take a seat. Ye Sanniang was not polite, she sat opposite Wang Yu with her ass, looking at the posture, she was simply domineering, and she didn't take Wang Yu in her eyes at all.

Wang Yu didn't say anything when he saw her like this, picked up the teacup in front of him, blew twice, and then drank most of the cup in one gulp. People are tea tasting, but here in Wang Yu, it is to quench their thirst.

Ye Sanniang thought that Wang Yu would ask her what she meant, but after waiting for a long time, Wang Yu didn't say a word, and choked her enough. Ye Sanniang finally couldn't help it and said, "Wang Yu, why don't you ask me why I came to you?" ā€

Wang Yu grinned and said, "If you come to me for something, you can just say it directly, and I have to ask more." ā€

"You ......" Wang Yu's words directly stuffed Ye Sanniang enough. Ye Sanniang suppressed the anger in her heart, and then said calmly: "Our owner said that I have been a little tight recently, and I want to ask if there is any business that needs help." ā€

Wang Yuden was shocked in his heart, he was worried that Lei Hu could not arrive in time, there was a shortage of soldiers and major generals, and there were not enough people, so why did he take the initiative to send it to the door, it was a bit too coincidental.

But then again, the big guys can be regarded as robbing together, although the other party didn't make a move, but after all, they provided clues. And that Mr. Cao was quite righteous, and lent him the goods when he was short of money. But Wang Yu always felt that there was a problem in this, why did Mr. Cao be so timely every time, just like sending charcoal in the snow.

So, Wang Yu said tentatively: "Your boss also has a time when he is short of money? ā€

"When people are in the rivers and lakes, there is always a time when the horse is high and short, and when you go out, it is inevitable that you will occasionally not have enough money." Ye Sanniang said.

"What kind of business I do, I think you and your boss know very well." When Wang Yu said this, he even laughed himself.
