PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
Huang Hu is a rough embryo, and he likes to talk to the soldiers the most, but Wang Teng really needs to find a daughter-in-law.
In the cognition of the ancients, only by starting a family can you start a business, if you don't even have a daughter-in-law, how can you take on a big responsibility?
Wang Teng is a traveler in his bones, he doesn't want to marry a wife and have children hastily, but he will be twenty years old in the next year.
Not marrying a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty was something that the ancients would not dare to imagine.
The Jiupin inspection is just a low-ranking petty official, but if Wang Tengguan is promoted to a few levels this time, then he will be a big man in Guangling, at this time, if Wang Teng is still alone, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no gossip!
Thinking of Yi Ying's previous ridicule, Wang Teng was in a very bad mood, he didn't want to be misunderstood for liking male style, it seemed that he had to solve his marriage matter!
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Guangling Township bravely escorted the carriage and horses on the road again.
When Kankan approached Datong Mansion, a group of cavalry rushed from afar.
Huang Hu and Tong have always been on guard in a hurry, but only Wang Teng was calm, "It's an official army, it should be Wang Pu."
Suddenly, a white and fat general came on horseback, and it was Wang Pu who was full of concern, "Oh, brother Xian, don't come to harm!" β
Wang Teng bowed his hand slightly, "Brother Lao is worried, and he is safe."
Wang Pu frowned, "I heard that you met a rogue?" These thieves are so daring that they dare to move you on my territory, good brother, where are the rogues? Brother, I'll be angry for you! β
Wang Teng motioned to Xiang Yong to lift the dry grass, and soon a dead head appeared on the carriage.
Wang Pu was very surprised. "What is this?"
"This is the head of the rogue, one hundred and thirty-one"
Wang Pu's eyes widened, "So much? β
Wang Teng said with a smile: "Brother, I can do this business thanks to you, otherwise, the Jin family will definitely not let go." These heads will be given to my brother, and I will be a little bit of my heart."
Not long after Wang Pu arrived, it was the time when he needed to make military achievements, and Wang Teng was so generous that he suppressed him.
"Brother Xian, although the head of this rogue is not valuable, but it can also be exchanged for a hundred and ten taels of silver, if you give it to me, isn't this battle in vain?"
Wang Teng laughed dumbly. "Brother, don't say a hundred taels of silver, even if it's a thousand taels of silver, this is also a brother's heart, don't shirk, you just accept it!"
Wang Pu took a breath, "Okay, brother, I have written down this love brother." Let's make up for it! β
Wang Teng is noncommittal, noncommittal. In the history of later generations, although Wang Pu led his troops to flee, resulting in a great defeat in the Battle of Songjin, Wang Teng did not think it was his fault.
Compared with Zu Dashou, who surrendered the city, Wang Pu can be regarded as loyal to the country (executed by Chongzhen).
Battle of Songjin. Wang Pu and Tang Tong, Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Wang Tingchen, Yang Guozhu eight total soldiers, commanding 130,000 troops, if the whole is united, there is no power to fight!
Although Wang Teng did not have much contact with Wang Pu, not much. The other party is a bold character, and later the behavior of escaping from the formation may be bewitched by others!
If they could see the hope of victory, who would risk their heads to escape?
The general trend is like this, and the defeat of the Ming army is not the fault of Wang Pu alone!
Wang Teng believes that as long as he can keep winning, Wang Pu will never run away again!
"Brother Xian?"
Wang Pu's shout once again pulled Wang Teng into reality.
One deliberately made friends, the other had a heart to welcome, Wang Pu and Wang Teng talked very happily, quite a hateful meeting.
The town soldiers under Wang Pu's command were originally very unhappy, they didn't understand why they wanted to save Wang Teng, a nine-rank inspection was just a nine-rank inspection, even if he could be promoted, he was only an eight-rank military attachΓ©, which was far from the official position of Wang Pu's chief military officer.
Where is such a character worth everyone's hard work?
However, later, it turned around, and the battle exploits sent by Wang Teng made the town soldiers happy, more than 100 heads, such benefits can't be found with lanterns!
Half an hour later, Wang Teng completed the transaction accompanied by Wang Pu.
It was a total of 1,300 taels of silver, in exchange for 200 guns, three small cannons, and 100 shells.
The difference between this price and the price that Wang Teng promised Su Luos was seven hundred taels, and Wang Teng didn't want to cheap Jin Liangyu for nothing.
After the large-scale purchase, Wang Teng whispered to Su Luosi, "The silver owed to you can't be given to you for the time being, Jin Liangyu has been keeping an eye on it these days, and giving you the silver at this time is harming you."
Sulos regained his freedom, he looked around and said, "Your Excellency, General, I believe in you, you are a real warrior, the Jin family is too greedy, you have to be more careful."
Wang Teng fumbled for the shiny firebolt and couldn't put it down, "Don't worry, as long as I have the firebolt in my hand, Jin Liangyu can't help me, by the way, is there a better firebolt in Jerusalem?" β
Sullos hesitated before bowing his head, "A better firearm means a more expensive one, Your Excellency, you see."
Wang Teng has already asked for a Lumi gun with the help of Wang Pu's hand, "as long as it is more powerful than this musket, the price is easy to say."
In 1598, Zhao Shizhen, a fire expert in the Ming Dynasty, imitated the Turkish musket and transformed the arquebus.
To put it bluntly, Lu Mi Gong represents the highest craftsmanship of firearms in the Ming Dynasty.
In "Wu Bei Zhi", it is said: "Bird gun: Weilu Mi gun is the farthest and most poisonous." β
Sulos is also a knowledgeable person, and he is full of praise for the seven or eight pounds of Rumi gun in his hand, "General, such a musket is also very expensive in Jerusalem, and one will cost at least twenty taels of silver."
Now, Blacksmith Zhang has compressed the production cost of the bird gun to about ten taels, and it is indeed not expensive to have twenty taels of silver for a Lumi gun, but considering the transportation loss of thousands of miles away, it will rise to at least thirty taels after it is transported to Daming, which is not cheap.
The price of one is enough to buy three birds!
After Wang Teng thought about it for a while, he said: "After a while, you will come to Dinghe Fort to receive the silver, and I will talk to you in detail when the time comes."
Su Luos agreed, and now he can only choose to believe Wang Teng.
Compared with the cunning and vicious Jin Liangyu, Wang Teng's impression on Su Luosi is not bad, at least, this general has no intention of repaying his debts.
When leaving Datong, Wang Teng summoned the craftsmen in the army and asked about the possibility of making Lu Migong.
The craftsman in his fifties groped for the obsession on Lu Miquan's face, "My lord, this Lu Mi Gong is made of fine iron, if you want to build it, it is difficult."
The range of the Lu Mi gun can reach one hundred and fifty steps, and the speed of the projectile is also very fast, and in the history of later generations, the firearms used by the Qing army are not as good as the Lu Mi gun.
Wang Teng frowned, "Can you build it?" β
The craftsman shook his head, "The most important thing about Lu Mi Gong is this double-layer gun, which has to have decades of craftsmanship, and the little talent is shallow and powerless."
Wang Teng had long heard that Lu Mi Gong was not easy to build, and although he was a little disappointed at the moment, he didn't dwell on it anymore.
It seems that it is unrealistic to equip Lu Mi Gun on a large scale, so it can only be equipped in small batches and distributed to sharpshooters.
