Chapter XXIV

PS: The new book needs your support, ask for recommendations.

The city gate has been opened, and Shi Kefa and Ren Minyu have led a large group of civil officials and military generals to greet them. Luo Jian stopped getting into the car and walked into the city with Shi Kefa and others.

Wang Qiang also jumped out of the car, looked for a long time to find Wang Zecheng, stepped forward and hugged his neck and said, "Little Brother Wang, how are you feeling today?" Wang Qiang's actions made Wang Zecheng feel very unaccustomed, but he also knew that this was a way for Wang Qiang to make love to him, endured the discomfort, and said to Wang Qiang: "I didn't play well today, I put a lot of empty guns, I think Brother Luo is playing well and accurately, I have to practice more in the future." ”

"That's right, there's nothing difficult about this thing, you can hit it accurately with more practice, it's the same as your archery, just keep your eyes and hands steady." Wang Qiang didn't hide his selfishness, he felt that Wang Zecheng was very close to him, his age was about the same as him, and his personality was straightforward, which was his temper.

Luo Jian followed Shi Kefa and others into the city gate, and found that the city was already a sea of joy, the city gate and the streets were full of people, giving people the feeling that the whole city was like running to the west gate, beating the Tartars to the embarrassment and fleeing, which has not happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and everyone felt that it was necessary to be happy.

Luo Jian felt that it was a bit too much, although today's battle had results, but it did not achieve the goal of directly impacting Duoduo's big tent, and there were also big problems in the cooperation between people and vehicles.

Shi Kefa was also full of smiles, constantly greeting the people around him, and seemed to be very close to the people. Wang Zecheng did not forget his duty at this time, and brought his soldiers up to block the crowd out.

Seeing that there were so many people in the city, Luo Jian wanted to say a few words to everyone, to encourage the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, after a little thought, he turned around and asked Wang Qiang to take the electric horn from the car, and said to Shi Kefa: "Supervisor, there are so many people here today, please give a speech to everyone to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, what do you think?" Luo Jian played tricks and asked Shi Kefa to say first, and it would be better for him to grasp the proportions when he spoke later, otherwise it would be bad if he said something too much.

Shi Kefa smiled and nodded yes, the two walked to the steps of the upper city tower, Luo Jian turned on the switch of the electric horn and handed it to Shi Kefa.

"Yangzhou fathers and fellow villagers, I am Shi Kefa." Shi Kefa picked up the loudspeaker and said, the horn made a loud noise and startled him, glanced at Luo Jian, and said in his heart, You told me earlier, you almost made me ugly.

The people below saw that the object in Shi Kefa's hand could make such a loud sound, and even the people in the distance of the street could hear it clearly, knowing that this was another "divine object" brought by several angels.

"Since March, the Qing captives are rampant, the great enemy is in sight, a arrow has not been added, until yesterday, Yangzhou City is still in danger like tired eggs, fortunately the sky has eyes, pity my Chinese people, three angels that fell from the sky, with artifacts to resist the Qing captivity, Yangzhou is very fortunate! Da Ming is very lucky! The country has undergone such great changes, and His Majesty's heirs have ascended to the great treasure, engraved in the revenge of shame, invigorating the spirit of the dynasty, extracting the material resources of all directions, and wanting to restore the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the past. I hope that the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou City, etc., will fight together with the same enemy, and I will win! ”

Shi Kefa's words were subdued and impassioned, Luo Jian listened to it, and saw that most of the soldiers and civilians below were in the clouds, and it was estimated that he didn't understand what Shi Kefa was saying at all. Only a few people dressed as scholars listened enthusiastically and frequently raised their hands in response. No one applauded below, and Luo Jian estimated that he didn't have this habit at this time.

Wang Qiang listened in a daze below, pulled Wang Zecheng over and asked, "What did the inspector say?" Do you understand? ”

"I don't understand, and you haven't read either?" Wang Zecheng saw that Wang Qiang didn't understand, and it was a little strange that the person sent by God hadn't read a book?

"I've read a lot of books, but who has read it and that's such a thing, can't you just talk well, you have to say it so that everyone can't understand it?" Wang Qiang was not convinced, he had read a lot of books such as fantasy martial arts, and he had only learned a few articles in middle school textbooks, and he had already returned them to the teacher.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is high, I just envy readers, but I'm just a martial artist." Wang Zecheng obviously has the deepest imprint of this era.

"Cut, only the reading is high, when the Tartar is defeated, let our chief teach you, he has read a lot of books, and he is much more educated than your supervisor." Wang Qiang still admires Luo Jian, and Wang Zecheng said this sentence with an extremely longing look on his face.

"Please Luo Angel to speak to everyone!" Shi Kefa handed the horn to Luo Jian.

"Hello everyone, I am Luo Jian. God can't bear to let my Chinese people be slaughtered by the Tartars, and sent the three of me here to help everyone fight against the Qing captives. In today's battle out of the city, we wiped out more than 3,500 Qing soldiers, including nearly 200 white-armored cavalry, and we dealt a heavy blow to the Qing captives! Let them know that our Yangzhou military and civilians are not to be insulted! Speaking of this, Luo Jian paused.

The cheers below rang out again, how long had it been since I heard the news of the victory, and the people of the city had waited too long!

"Of course, with our current strength, we are not able to carry out annihilating strikes against the Qing army outside the city, but as long as the Qing army does not retreat for a day, we will continue to carry out strikes like today, accumulate small victories into big victories, I believe, we will win! The Tartars will be defeated! After the silence below, Luo Jian then gave everyone a reassuring pill.

"Defeating the Qing and driving the Tartars away from our land is not only a matter of the imperial court, but also a matter of the army, and it is also the responsibility of every one of our Chinese sons and daughters. Luo Jian ended his speech.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", Shi Kefa muttered in his mouth, repeated it several times, and slowly fell into contemplation. This sentence was said by Gu Yanwu, and the original words were "Those who protect the country, their kings and their ministers, and those who eat meat; Those who protect the world are cheap and responsible. After Liang Qichao streamlined it, it became this eight-character idiom.

Gu Yanwu was only thirty-one or twelve years old at this time, this was what he said a year later, which means that the country belongs to the imperial court, and the world belongs to the people, no matter who is the emperor, as long as it is a Han person, the country is still there.

These eight words represent a more advanced concept, when people are talking about loyalty to the country, the report is the Zhu Ming Dynasty, since the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing, the capital fell into the hands of the Qing people, countless civil officials and military generals in the north have no loyal objects, and the Qing Dynasty has become a trend, this trend spreads from north to south, and it is intensifying. Luo Jian felt that it was necessary to establish this concept of "the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible" in order to stop this trend of surrender, and at the same time make some theoretical preparations for his future disallegiance to the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

After finishing the speech, Luo Jian looked at his watch, it was not yet nine o'clock, and he wanted to go back and have a good rest. Telling Liu Zhaoji to pay close attention to the movements of the Qing soldiers outside the city, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa and others made an appointment to hold a summary meeting at Luo Jian's residence in the afternoon, and after saying goodbye to everyone, several people returned to their residence.

After making a cup of tea, Luo Jian asked Steward Luo to move a chair and sit in the corridor, lit a cigarette and slowly fell into deep thought. Liu Weimin saw that Luo Jian was thinking about the problem, and beckoned Wang Qiang to pull Wang Zecheng and run to the back of the wing room to chat.

Luo Jian thought deeply, the Ming Dynasty has essentially rotted to the roots, and there is no possibility of saving it at all, so that a person with modern education can kowtow to a mediocre and incompetent fat man, Luo Jian can't accept it no matter what.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Jian felt that he was really thinking too much, the rice had to be eaten one bite at a time, and things had to be done step by step, he shook his head, and asked Steward Luo to call Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang over, after the great change yesterday, he hadn't had a good talk with these two guys.

The three of them came to the study and closed the door, and Luo Jian said to the two, "How do you two feel about this day?" Exciting, right? ”

"Isn't it just a thrill? It's just so exciting! I never dreamed that I would encounter such a thing, today I killed hundreds of people again, and I will definitely have nightmares again when I sleep at night, Old soldier Liu, let's sleep together tonight, right? Xiao Wang preemptively said, with his heartless character, Luo Jian didn't believe that he would be afraid of nightmares.

"I really didn't expect it, but it's destined that our life will be very exciting." Xiao Liu said a bit of literature, after all, he is a person who has already gone to college.

"Chief, what are you going to do? What do we do next? Xiao Liu then asked.

"If you want me to say, let's recruit our own troops and set up an army, and Li Zicheng can enter Beijing City as an emperor for a few days, I don't believe that we can't beat him. When the time comes, the chief will be the emperor, veteran Liu, you will be the prime minister, and I will be the generalissimo. Xiao Wang began to dream of becoming a marshal.

"To be an emperor? When the time comes, you two will kneel in front of me and shout 'Hurray'? And then my son became the emperor again, oh, my son may be able to keep the country under my personal education, and then my grandson may be a wreck, and another Li Zicheng forced him to hang himself on the coal mountain? Luo Jian was a little amused by Wang Qiang's thoughts, before going to bed last night, he had all kinds of thoughts, but he never had this kind of thought, he just thought about what kind of system in the future was more suitable for this era, this kind of centralized imperial system was first abandoned by him, and the constitutional monarchy seemed to have been considered.

"What do you think, chief? Let's also engage in democracy? "Xiao Liu's thinking is deeper than Xiao Wang's.

"My idea is that first of all, the three of us must integrate into this era, understand this era, slowly find a social system suitable for this era, and try to work in this direction. You two come with me, you can't rely on me to call the shots in everything, you have to give full play to your subjective initiative. I'll copy some of the history books of the Ming Dynasty to your mobile phones, both of you have to read them carefully, and you have to understand the historical background of this era in the shortest possible time, and there will be a lot of things in the future, and I can't do it alone. Luo Jian said to the two slowly, he sincerely hoped that the two little brothers could mature as soon as possible in this complex and dangerous era.

"The situation in Yangzhou City is very complicated, on the way back today, Ren Minyu told me that before we appeared yesterday, the two brothers Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu in the city were going to take more than 1,000 people to prepare to go out of the city to join the enemy, and in real history, Li Qifeng took 4,000 people out of the city to join the enemy today. Both of you should wear body armor inside when you go out, pay more attention to safety, and don't be careless. Afraid that the two of them would be in danger when they wandered around the city, Luo Jian specially confessed.

"Neither of you are married, I don't know how long you want to stay in this era, and I don't know if you can go back, if you meet a woman you like, I don't object to you getting married, I will first state my concept, I am against three wives and four concubines, if there are really a few women at the same time who are so handsome that you can't stand it, and they want to marry you desperately, I don't care. But one thing to remind you is that there are a lot of fireworks in this Yangzhou city, and you must not go! When Luo Jian said this, he thought of his wife and children in another time and space, and felt a faint pain in his heart.

In the previous relationship between Luo Jian and the two, although Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang respected Luo Jian very much, after all, they were their own leaders, but the two of them regarded Luo Jian more as their brother and big brother in their hearts, and the two did not show more uneasiness in this strange era, but also because they had full trust in Luo Jian, and now they saw Luo Jian very solemnly confessing to the two of them, they both nodded vigorously.

"Just now I thought about our family background, there is a problem that we have to pay attention to, that is, the ammunition of the vehicle-mounted machine gun, you two think about it, there were not many such machine guns in the regiment before, maybe only some armored vehicles were equipped with them, and our artillery units did not have many armored vehicles like ours, and we did not determine the number of such bullets. Therefore, the amount of ammunition for this machine gun will not be very large, and it has been used a lot in the past two days, in order to cope with the complicated situation in the future, we will try not to use the machine gun if it can. Luo Jian had already thought of this question on the way back, because Wang Zecheng was in the car, so he didn't say anything.

"Why don't I take the machine gun down and put it away? In the future, just use a rifle, and rifle bullets should be enough. Wang Qiang said.

"That's not necessary, you two just pay attention to wiping and maintenance, and if you remove it, it will be troublesome to install it in case of emergency. By the way, Xiao Liu should also take good care of the car, but he can't be careless, in case he gets out of the nest one day, it's not good. We have twelve rifles, and I have done the math, and the rifle bullets are still sufficient, and these guns must be handed over to someone we absolutely trust, and you two should also take care to find some reliable young men. Luo Jian thought about the problem very carefully, for fear of missing any link.

After explaining the business, a few people chatted a few more words, the two of them went out to wipe the gun, Xiao Liu also wanted to find someone to wash the car well, the car pressed a lot of people today, he always felt disgusting, and he had to wash it.

Luo Jian and the others went out, opened their laptops, found out the Ming history materials, and studied them carefully.

This time passed quickly, and after a while, I heard Steward Luo invite the eldest master to dinner outside the door, Luo Jian didn't like this title very much, but he didn't know what to let these people shout, so they could only go for the time being.

After eating and sitting for a while, getting up too early in the morning, Luo Jian felt a little sleepy, ran to the bed and fell asleep, until Steward Luo came in and woke him up, saying that the supervisor had arrived, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already past two o'clock, quickly got up and dressed, and came to the living room after a hasty wipe of his face.

After entering the house, I apologized to Shi Kefa and the others, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I got up early in the morning, and I was a little sleepy, so I have been waiting for you for a long time." "Everyone said it was okay.

Luo Jianyi seems to see that there are really a lot of people, Shi Kefa, Ren Minyu, Liu Zhaoji, needless to say, there are civil officials Zunyi prefect He Gang, Yangzhou Tongzhi Qu Congzhi, Shi Kefa's staff Lu Wei, Wu Eryi, etc., in addition to Ma Yingkui and Yi Bangcai, even the Gansu general Li Qifeng, the Surabaya general Zhang Tianlu, and the deputy chief Zhang Tianfu brothers also came.

Luo Jian was very satisfied, and felt that Shi Kefa's mind was quite thorough, once this kind of meeting was held, if all the people summoned, it would be difficult to guarantee that someone would not have any more dissent when the situation was still grim.

After sitting down, Shi Kefa first asked, "Angel Luo, how will this summary be opened?" "Dare Qing didn't explain it to him clearly enough in the morning.

"The so-called combat summary meeting is to summarize the combat operation, what has been done well, and continue to carry forward it in the future; What is not done well, improve it later. Commendation of those who have made outstanding contributions in combat operations, and punishment of those who have failed in combat and affected combat operations, is probably the end of this. I hope that you will speak your mind freely, and those who have not participated in combat operations can also express their own views and put forward their own opinions and suggestions. Luo Jian explained in detail.

"If you want me to say, the grenade is a good thing, no matter how many Qing soldiers there are in front of him, throw a row of grenades over, and everything will be solved. Haha, today I only lost 82 brothers, and I killed more than 1,500 Qing soldiers. Luo Angel, can you send us more grenades? As long as this thing is enough, I will blow up all the Qing army camps with my people. Ma Shoukui said with a big grin.

"Hehe, old horse, I don't have this thing, even if I give it all to you, have you thought about it? If we hadn't messed up the camp in front, would your soldiers have thrown grenades farther than bows and arrows as long as they placed a row of archers in front? Later, the Qing cavalry came up, didn't they also trap you so much that you couldn't move? ”

Luo Jian hurriedly poured cold water on Ma Shoukui, this sign has to be stopped, if everyone leaves these weapons in the future, they can't fight, then the problem is big, these things are already limited, and Luo Jian can't be made after using them.

"I still want to take back all your unused grenades, this thing is too dangerous, and one person who accidentally blows up himself will also blow up one by one."

"Don't don't, don't beg Luo Angel not to take it back, can't I not ask for it anymore? Those boys are all hiding like treasures, others can't take a look at them, where will they accidentally blow up their own people. ”

As soon as Ma Shoukui heard Luo Jian say this, he immediately became anxious, and subconsciously covered his chest, there were still three of them there, and after using two in the morning, he took two more from the hands of the bombardier.

Luo Jian smiled and turned his gaze to Yi Bangcai.

"According to the last general, we have achieved a lot of results this morning, but we have not achieved the goal we set before the war."

Yi Bangcai glanced at Luo Jian as he spoke, and saw Luo Jian smiling and looking at him with encouraging eyes, and his heart warmed. After settling down, he continued:

"Luo Angel, you rushed too fast in front, and the infantry behind us couldn't keep up, it was a bit disjointed, and the Qing soldiers had enough time to adjust after the chaos, which is also the reason why the results were not very big, if there were no grenades, the consequences would be really hard to say."

"Well, that's a good question, and I've taken it into account on the way back to your aid, if only there were enough cavalry." Luo Jian felt a little regretful when he mentioned it now, thinking that in this era of cold weapons, he must vigorously develop cavalry in the future.

"The two of you are mainly killed and injured today by the Han army, these soldiers have poor combat effectiveness, and they were frightened by Luo Angel, so it is not surprising that they won. When Deputy General Ma just received the enemy, you still rushed up to the melee according to the old rules, and did not think of killing the enemy with grenades first, you did not do as well as Vice General B; Vice General B, you patronized and killed happily in the back, and did not guard against the Qing cavalry, you did not do as well as Deputy General Ma. ”

Liu Zhaoji saw clearly with a telescope on the city tower, and directly pointed out the shortcomings of the two on the battlefield.
