Chapter 81: Very shameless and despicable
After Prince Tongyi left the Forbidden City, Lin Haijiang looked back at the majestic imperial city, and his heart was full of emotion.
If we want to overthrow such a behemoth, it will not work to just say a few enthusiastic words and preach theories, and the purpose of reform is to replace the existing class with a new class with vested interests, which requires struggle and bloodshed and sacrifice.
Prince Yi Zaiyuan patted Lin Haijiang on the shoulder and said: "It's good, sure enough, it's a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, this monk Greenqin is also too deceitful, usually seeing that I don't care about them, it is getting more and more powerful, and now this slam is very good!" ”
Immediately, Prince Yi Zaiyuan applauded Lin Haijiang and said worriedly: "This Mongolian iron cavalry is the only army that can fight in my Qing Dynasty now!" Don't underestimate the enemy, but isn't it too arrogant to go one hundred against five hundred? Do you want me to go to the emperor and talk to him? Let's one hundred against two hundred, okay? Do you think it's too much for me to bet 30,000 taels just now? ”
Lin Haijiang secretly despised Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and estimated that this old boy was not worried about himself, but worried about his 30,000 taels of silver, so he smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, let's not say that the other party agrees or not, the condition is that I offered, doesn't that increase their prestige?" If I beat them, I will beat them and sweep them away, no matter how horizontal or vertical, they will offend people completely, and it is great that I will not go ashore if I am floating on the sea. ”
Prince Yi Zaiyuan nodded and said, "How sure are you?" ”
Lin Haijiang thought for a moment and said: "Lord Wang, if there are thirty big shields that are one person high, and leave me five fist-sized holes in several positions of the shield, I believe that I can be eighty percent sure!" ”
"Huh? Eighty percent sure? Oh my God? Hearing Lin Haijiang say that he was eighty percent sure, Prince Yi Zaiyuan suddenly cried out.
Lin Haijiang was puzzled: "What's wrong with the prince?" ”
Prince Yi Zaiyuan said with a bitter face: "Alas! Just bet too little! ”
Lin Haijiang was speechless for a moment, and returned to the backyard of the palace, Lin Haijiang gathered the guards, distributed the weapons transported from the Taishan, and scheduled to go to the firearms camp for on-the-spot drills tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Prince Yi Zaiyuan ordered people to send all the big shields prepared on thirty sides, Lin Haijiang checked these outer Mongolian copper skins, with cowhide thick wood, each side is full of more than 50 catties, almost one person high horse shield, the only difference is that there is an extra slit on the top of the horse shield, which can insert another shield into the bow and arrow to prevent warp shots, this kind of big shield is generally only available in the military camp of the general, and the field is used to resist the horse gun against the cavalry.
Lin Haijiang doesn't want to refuse the horse gun, as long as he uses the horse shield, and he also digs a few big holes in the shield? No one can figure out what it means.
There is still a long way from Prince Yi's mansion to the firearms camp, so Lin Haijiang rode a horse to accompany Prince Yi who was riding in the car while walking and chatting, and it was not lonely along the way.
Only arrived at the main gate of the firearms battalion, just met with Monk Greenqin's horse team, after Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Monk Greenqin saw each other, Monk Greenqin snorted heavily, beat the horse in front of Lin Haijiang, and showed off his superb riding skills, which made Lin Haijiang envious, before the advent of the motorized era, horse animal power was the fastest way to deliver the army on land.
A big man with a four-rank top wearing a white-edged cowhide nail armor with a blue background stopped in front of Lin Haijiang, looked up and down for a while, completely ignoring the angry eyes of Prince Yi Zaiyuan on the side, and laughed and said: "Lao Tzu, I can pinch you to death a little rabbit!" ”
Lin Haijiang said casually: "From the perspective of genetics, don't call Lao Tzu a little rabbit cub, otherwise it will be bad for your parents, and a litter of old rabbits will be very unpopular!" ”
After Lin Haijiang and Prince Yi drove away, Hamo stood in a daze, he was sure that Lin Haijiang scolded him just now, but he didn't understand how the other party scolded? So I can only hold back my grievances.
Prince Yi Zaiyuan smiled at Lin Haijiang and said: "You kid is too unruly, Hamozu entered the customs from the dragon, there have been several Mongolian capitals, and many amazing heroes have become rabbits in your mouth, sin!" O sin! ”
The five hundred Mongolian elite cavalry of Seng Lingqin are all elite drawn back from the Tianjin front, but in Lin Haijiang's eyes, the appearance of these fierce cavalry 'horses' under the crotch is really not very good?
Lin Haijiang has the impression that the Mongolian horse is one of the oldest horse breeds in China and even the world, mainly produced in the grassland of Inner Mongolia, is a typical grassland horse breed, but the Mongolian horse is not large, the body is thick, the limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is wide, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, the joints are firm, and the tendons are developed. The coat is dense and the coat color is complex. It is hard-working, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions.
The Mongolian horses of Monk Lingqin made Lin Haijiang see the possibility of improving the mobile surname of his troops, and the Mongolian horses that were cheap and cared for were undoubtedly the first choice.
In contrast, the tall horse he rode was Prince Yi's treasure 'Moonlit Night Snow', which is said to have the bloodline of a sweaty BMW and was a horse given by Xianfeng.
The horse is a good horse, but Lin Haijiang also heard that this horse is extremely difficult to serve, it is said that every day he gets dozens of taels of silver essence, eggs, etc., and there are more than ten small servants who take care of the horse.
The horse team commanded by Hammer seemed to be deliberately blocking Lin Haijiang, and several times they ran past Lin Haijiang's queue, making it dusty, and Prince Yi Zaiyuan, who was choking and scolding, could not speak.
These brave Mongol knights seemed to be deliberately performing their riding skills, rushing, stopping, and turning their horses to a great time.
Lin Haijiang divided the 100 people into three teams, and after setting up the shields, the three groups of people exchanged positions back and forth? Ten small wheelbarrows were also pushed around? Seeing that Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Monk Greenqin and others are all confused? Thinking that the other party had a strange monk Lingqin beating a horse, he pretended to turn around nearby, but he still didn't see anything famous.
And in the horse team, the cavalry also looked curiously at the Nanban who dared to challenge them, and looked at the monk Greenqin with a puzzled expression, Lin Haijiang was extremely happy in his heart, and said in his heart: Sample, just guess! Exhaust your little girl.
And in the Forbidden City, Princess Shou'an Gulun is drinking tea in the Anning Palace, and the tea brewed by Yi Guiren himself is full of tea in the Forbidden City, and only Xianfeng and the princess who Daoguang Ye values the most can drink.
Princess Shou'an Gulun gently put down the tea bowl and said: "Your Majesty, the whole Yanjing is hot right now, and the odds of Admiral Lin and Monk Lingqin in the handicap outside have been opened to one to ten!" ”
Xianfeng nodded excitedly and said: "This I know, I also bought 50,000 taels of Lin Aiqingsheng, and the princes and ministers still have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver here in me, and this part will be confiscated regardless of whether they win or lose, and it will be used as the money for the purchase of ships, and it will be good for them to be filial piety to my courtiers." ”
Princess Shou'an Gulun shook her head helplessly and said, "The emperor's move to compete with the people for profit is absolutely unacceptable!" If you deduct the bets of the ministers, will you not be dishonest with them? As the Son of Heaven, if you teach the world by example, don't act recklessly! ”
Xianfeng was slightly stunned, and then said: "I have no money to buy two warships, and I have reduced the use of Ouchi again and again, shouldn't they, who are courtiers, donate some of them?" There is a way for the monarchs and ministers to go together, work together, and work together, I told them that I would borrow it, and I would return it to them after the investigation and suppression of the bandits. ”
Seeing Xianfeng's rogue look, Princess Shou'an Gulun did not continue, but straightened up her body and said: "Lin Haijiang is not an idle person, but he still needs to hone a lot of training when he is young, it is necessary to remind him that he and Monk Greenqin both serve in the imperial court, and don't hurt the friendship between them." ”
Xianfeng was slightly stunned and said: "This sword has no eyes, they are all warriors of my Qing Dynasty, and innocent injuries do make me feel uneasy, where can I send someone to Prince Yi Zaiyuan?" Telling Seng Gelinqin that it is okay to stop at the same time? ”
Princess Shou'an Gulun slowly got up and said, "Your Majesty, you better rest!" It's up to me to take a trip, I've been in this city for a long time and I'm in a panic. ”
Xianfeng smiled slightly and said: "Admiral Lin is really a talent, and he is also a fierce general, and he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, so you might as well pay more attention!" Such young talents are rare. ”
Princess Shou'an Gulun's face turned red, and she didn't pay attention to Xianfeng's ridicule in words, and hurriedly left!
Lin Haijiang, who returned to Prince Yi's mansion after training, began to assemble his 'big killing weapon', twelve Henry linkage rifles were tied to the wooden frame of the wheelbarrow, and the two sub-levers of the large crank of an envoy were fixed to the connecting rod and trigger of the linkage rifle respectively.
The soldiers used fired a salvo of twelve rifles every one circle, and the ten wheelbarrows filled the distance between the gaps in the shields, and after the thirty wheelbarrows were transformed, Lin Haijiang equipped each soldier with six Omanli five-son fast guns, according to the firing speed calculated by Lin Haijiang and the density of the barrage, the last twenty meters distance would become the death line of Monk Lingqin's five hundred elite horsemen.
This batch of weapons was originally transported by Lin Haijiang with the ship, and he wanted to take advantage of the battle between the Taiping army and the Qing army in Tianjin, so that they could be sold at a good price in Yanjing, but what disappointed Lin Haijiang was that no one cared about this batch of weapons?
Later, when I inquired about Lin Haijiang, I learned that the guys used by the rich Eight Banners masters in Yanjing had to be inlaid with gold and silver, and they were not interested in ordinary goods, but the ones who led the troops were too expensive, and they were reluctant to use them for their own soldiers, let alone use them on the battlefield.
In the end, it will be used on Monk Lingqin? In this regard, Lin Haijiang was also annoyed by his impulsiveness, and even violated his low-key principle by not paying attention, I am afraid that this matter has passed, and it is difficult for him to be low-key.
