Chapter 221: Heaven Collapses (25)
The executioners stood in place.
"Raise the gun! Ignition! β
Lin Junchen gave an order in a loud voice.
The firecrackers raised their firearms on the spot, and the swarthy firearms buckles were aimed at the deserter officer in front of them.
These black-clad musketeers are going to shoot these deserter officers at forty paces! Everyone present was stunned, with their understanding, Da Zhao's firecrackers were mostly shoddy, and it was not easy to hit people in twenty steps, and these black-clothed firecrackers actually doubled the distance directly designed!
It is not difficult for a bow and arrow to accurately hit the target forty steps away, in this era, a hundred steps through the Yang is definitely not an empty word, the archer can do a hundred steps through the Yang, and a hundred steps through the Yang is not something that cannot be done.
He Tengxiao is skilled in bowing horses, and occasionally **** luck can also make cameo appearances and make a cameo appearance in a hundred steps to wear a Yang costume (forced).
However, the accuracy of firecrackers in this era is very limited, and it is very difficult to shoot targets, especially long-distance targets, and it is even impossible for beginners. This is one of the important reasons why the firearm has been born for so long and has not been able to replace the bow and arrow as the mainstream long-range strike weapon. Of course, the shoddy production of the imperial court's ordnance supervisor resulted in the poor quality of the firearms produced, which was also a reason.
The guns produced in Yunguam were put into production on the basis of the improvement of the existing guns of Dazhao, and they were stronger and more reliable than the standard guns of Dazhao Zhenjun in terms of quality and accuracy.
Although the improved firecrackers have made great progress compared to the existing firecrackers, it is only progress, not a qualitative leap. It is still difficult to shoot at a target from a distance of forty paces with the improved fire gun of Yun Guam.
"Shoot!"
Lin Junchen's waist knife slashed down and gave the order to shoot.
The sound of fried beans gradually remembered, and a burst of gunpowder smoke rose from the mouth, and after the smoke cleared, the firecrackers saw the corpse that had fallen under the wall of the Jinmen Acropolis, which was their masterpiece.
In the first round of shooting, all hit the target, and not a single musketeer missed! This is the result of rigorous training, although it has not been tested in actual combat, but it can also show that the strict training of the firecrackers has achieved very good results.
Lin Junchen raised his hand to confirm that all targets had been hit.
He Tengxiao nodded with satisfaction, and everyone present was shocked. Forty paces away, the firecrackers shot their targets, and none of these black-clothed firecrackers missed! During the Taizong period, the level of sharpshooters in the sharpshooter battalion was no more than that!
After solving the problem of deserters, the next step is to open the knife to the Hao clan in Beizhili.
He Tengxiao also had his considerations for choosing to be tortured on the city wall of the Jinmen Acropolis, and the purpose of He Tengxiao was to deter these wealthy families.
These wealthy families are used to being arrogant on weekdays, and if you don't give them some color, they won't buy it. He Tengxiao did this mainly to kill chickens to show monkeys, and besides, killing deserters itself is not illegal, it is a matter of course.
The refugees looked at each other with fear and awe in their eyes. The wealthy also realized that this army that came out of nowhere was by no means a good stubble, and it was not a master to provoke.
What kind of guest army would dare to kill the battalion general of the local army?
Except for a small number of refugees who are in Tianjin and whose relatives have not been entangled to support them to stay in Tianjin, the vast majority of refugees will continue to flee south until they find it safe to stop.
"In order to prevent deserters from fleeing south in the crowd, the Jinmen guards will search all those who cannot escape, and those who carry weapons and ordnance will be treated as deserters!" He Tengxiao gave the order, and now he is the de facto supreme military commander of the Jinmen guard, and He Tengxiao has the right to decide what to do with these refugees who cannot escape. If anyone dares to question He Tengxiao's decision, the more than 60 deserter military attachΓ©s killed under the walls of the Jinmen Guard are an example.
"General." A gorgeously dressed middle-aged man stood up, and at first glance, he knew that he was either rich or expensive.
Out of courtesy, He Tengxiao returned the salute to the gorgeous middle-aged man with a fist.
"The barbarians break the border, the barbarian iron horses are galloping, the haunts are impermanent, and it is reasonable to bring some weapons to defend themselves, is the general's order too harsh? Please also ask the general to retract his order. The middle-aged man's tone was a little stiff.
The middle-aged man's words made He Tengxiao very uncomfortable, you said that if you take back your life, you will take back your life, whether the soldiers here listen to you or me.
Liu Shu opened his eyes and took a closer look at this outrageous middle-aged man, and after seeing it clearly, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Liu Shu's forehead.
"This person's surname is Zhou." Liu Shu whispered in He Tengxiao's ear, "The children of the Zhou clan, a giant merchant in Jingshi City. β
Liu Shu only said half of what he said, and the following part did not explain to He Tengxiao, that is, the Jingshi Zhou clan and the current first assistant Xu Hongqian have a close relationship. Liu Shu is not Xu Hongqian's party, nor is it Lu Zongcheng's party. Xu Hongqian is now the head of the heavenly officials, and Liu Shu does not dare to offend Xu Hongqian.
Liu Shu did not dare to offend Xu Hongqian, but Liu Shu did not want the private armed forces of the Zhou people to stir up trouble among the refugees and endanger his future. He wanted to use He Tengxiao's hand to suppress the Zhou family, the Zhou family and Xu Hongqian had a close relationship, Liu Shu naturally couldn't tell He Tengxiao, in case He Tengxiao was afraid of Xu Hongqian's power and compromised with Zhou Xian, it would not be a good thing for him.
The business outside the northern Saiwai was monopolized by two factions of merchants, one was the Jin merchants of Shanxi, and the representatives of the Jin merchants were the Qian family, which was later replaced by the Qiao family. The other faction is the Jingshang of Jingshi City, and the representative Shang clan of Jingshang is the Jingshi Zhou clan.
He Tengxiao still has some impressions of the Zhou family, since it is the leading merchant family in Jingshi City, it must be a prominent person who combines wealth and power.
The leading Shang clan in Jingshi City was still skeptical that the forbidden army and the town army could hold Jingshi City, let alone the ordinary people of Jingshi City. Jingshi City should be in chaos right now.
Standing behind Zhou Xian was the Zhou clan of Jingshi City, which was very clear to the wealthy families present. These wealthy families were still afraid of He Tengxiao and did not dare to stand up and argue with He Tengxiao, but now that Zhou Xian stood up to speak, these wealthy families also rushed to jump out against the order issued by He Tengxiao.
In a chaotic world, sometimes a knife is more convincing than possessions, and no one wants to disarm them obediently. Without the protection of private armed forces, what is the difference between these wealthy families and ordinary refugees?
"We only carry knives and instruments for self-defense, if the general confiscates all our knives and instruments, what else will we use for self-defense?" A businessman jumped out and said. (To be continued.) )
