Chapter 840: Killing Sticks (Medium)
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the shouts of killing, and the wooden planks and straw men that served as targets had been beaten to pieces, and debris was floating everywhere in the wind. Guangdong's armament was not very strong, and even if the imperial court had made arquebuses on a large scale, the equipment in Guangdong was very limited. In the standard camp, there are not too many shotguns, and most of the soldiers still use fire door guns, such as Cen Meng, which is even worse in equipment.
He had gotten a few firearms, but there were only ten shotguns, which were stored in his earthen enclosure like family heirlooms. It seems that thousands of fast guns are used intensively, which has exceeded the upper limit of Toast's comprehension ability, and this momentum alone has already stunned him.
There were also ten Franc cannons in the officers and soldiers, and from time to time they let out a roar, and the iron sand hit the target to pieces. The last time they fought with the Franc man, these toast wolf soldiers were not transferred, and they had not seen the majesty of the Franc man's guns, and the firepower of the new army shocked them.
Another point is that the quality shown by the new army also made Cen Meng's heart sink all the way to the bottom. Originally, I thought that the two hundred people I saw yesterday were the personal soldiers around Qin Cha, and they could not be used as a reference. When I saw the official and military drills today, I realized that the quality of those 200 people was not higher than that of others, and these 3,000 people were all strong soldiers of that kind of combat power. Qin Cha's mouth even revealed that there were still four battalions of such strong soldiers in Zhejiang that had not been brought.
The formation put forward by these people, Cen Meng has never seen it, he is also an old fighter, and he can see the power of this formation. If it is on the battlefield, and your own men and horses are against such an army, I am afraid that it will not take too long to collapse. If such a unit has five battalions...... He looked at the leaders beside him, and their faces were the same as his own, and they were not bloody.
Originally, they came to stand up for their people and seek justice for Huang De. But after seeing the new army go out to exercise, no one in these leaders has such thoughts. This group of toasts believes that fists are the truth, the army of the Ming Dynasty is full of pus, and they can do whatever they want, this force is too strong, even if they kill the door to snatch their own women, they can only let it go.
The drill lasted more than an hour before it was declared to be over with a burst of drums and trumpets. The soldiers who had finished the drill did not fall to the ground to rest like ordinary officers and soldiers, or gather together to idle, but formed a phalanx waiting for the drill. This kind of organizational discipline is difficult for Cen Meng's personal soldiers to match.
When Yang Chengzu was practicing just now, he didn't look at Cen Meng, but just watched the soldiers practice with a smile, and the two lovely-looking soldiers shook fans for him, one left and one right. Although they are wearing men's clothes, they are fragrant, and if you look closely at the eyebrows and eyes, it is easy to distinguish that these two people are women dressed as men.
waited until the drill was over, Yang Chengzu sneered at Cen Meng, "Cen Tongzhi, do you think the drill of the official army is still favorable?" I have heard for a long time that wolf soldiers are good at fighting, and last night, Shen Tongzhi also came to my line and told me that the elite wolf soldiers are unparalleled. I don't know what the combat power of this new army is in the eyes of Cen Tongzhi? ”
Cen Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and forced out a smile, "Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, the divine power is invincible, how dare we and other natives compare with the heavenly soldiers?" Qin Cha has won the award, and the villain's subordinates only have a loyalty to the court, and they are not afraid of death when they are in battle, and they can't mention anything else. Don't dare to call it a strong soldier. ”
"Faithful? I don't think so. Yang Chengzu mercilessly, took the confession out of his sleeve, and slapped it in front of Cen Meng, "Cen Tongzhi doesn't know Chinese characters, right?" It doesn't matter, who you trusted, tell me, and I'll let him read it to you. ”
Cen Meng's face was embarrassed and abnormal, he didn't dare to be angry, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to smile and said, "Qin Cha is angry, the lower officials have already sent someone to ask, Huang De and they robbed only a few inferior Changji ......"
"No matter what Changji is, they also have the right to decide who to receive or who not to receive, and they can't force it. Moreover, Huang De has personally admitted that he once caught a woman from a good family and returned to the camp to abuse him when the lanterns were turned on on the Shangyuan Festival, causing this innocent and weak girl to commit suicide with hatred. How are you going to calculate this debt! ”
This confession can be used as a bargaining chip, and it can be taken out in private to see how much Cen Meng can pay for this thing. or exchange a sum of money for a few women, or change wolf soldiers to fight desperately, all of them can be done. But in such a public occasion, to say it out loud is not ready to negotiate with the wolf soldiers at all, and only wants to die.
Several senior officials in Guangdong are here to watch the exercise today, and the viewing platform is not a big place, and Yang Chengzu shouted out with all his strength, and everyone can hear it. He asked Wang Hong, who had not spoken: "Wang Zhentai, you are the criminal prosecutor of Guangdong, if these people's lawsuits are Han Chinese, how should they be settled?" ”
Wang Feng didn't come to greet Qin Cha yesterday, and after meeting today, he didn't say any polite words, and he didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing. He still had wounds on his head, the wounds were wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and there was a strong smell of medicine on his body.
It seems that he was not uninjured when it came to the explosion in the artillery workshop. It is precisely because of these injuries on his body that Yang Chengzu did not pursue his fault for not coming to greet him or being defeated, in the whole exercise, Wang Feng was the most serious one. Until the drill was over, he seemed to be still intoxicated with Fang Cai's drill, and he didn't come back to his senses, until Yang Chengzu asked a few times, Zhang Yi couldn't help coughing heavily, Wang Feng came back to his senses, and after Yang Chengzu said it again, he shook his head
"If the local people commit crimes, they will be dealt with by the Tusi, and if we will issue them according to the judges, it will break the law of the court. If the crime is committed by Han soldiers, then military law must also be enforced, and the judge cannot interfere. If the people committed this crime, they should be beheaded. ”
"Cen Tongzhi, you heard it, the law should be punished. What are you going to give me an explanation? ”
Shen Xiyi coughed lightly and got up to salute, "Qincha, someone has already told me yesterday that they want me to stop caring about this matter, and the lower officials also agreed." But let the subordinate say more, killing people is not too much, and everything is based on the overall situation......"
"General Shen, it's not your subordinates who are doing the crime, and I didn't ask you anything, just sit there and don't talk too much. Cen Meng, now that the official is asking you, what are you going to give me an explanation? ”
"Qincha, Huang De has always had military exploits, and he is also well-known in Tianzhou, please read his merits in the past......"
"I'm asking you what to say?"
"The bitter master's family has accepted my money and has promised not to pursue ......"
"I'm asking you what to say?"
"When we play against Foyi, we are willing to play as a striker."
"I'm asking you what to say?"
After changing several rhetoric in a row, Yang Chengzu's tone did not loosen at all, and Cen Meng, who was desperate, could only grit his teeth and say: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, since they have broken the rules and harmed the daughters of good families, I have no choice but to enforce military law and escort them back to the village to be beheaded!" ”
Yang Chengzu nodded, "This is still a human saying, but ...... I'm going to go with you to the village and watch you enforce military law, so that no one will play favoritism or cheat, and you won't have an opinion, right? ”
