The brothers in Zhujiabao must not have known Song Biao's plan in his heart, and they all thought that Song Biao really wanted to transport the 40,000 taels of grain to Shenyang City and sell it, and the price of grain in Shenyang City was said to have increased tenfold compared with previous years, and the price of each load of grain was at least 80 taels of silver, and 40,000 taels of grain was 3.2 million taels of silver.

If Song Biao can really get all the 3.2 million taels of silver in his hands, then he is the richest man in Kanto.

When the banquet was about to end, Song Biao and Xue Changqing, Lao Jintou, Zhao Tingzhu and others continued to discuss the matter of going to Shenyang, everyone thought that Song Biao really wanted to go to Shenyang City to sell grain, and the so-called going to Fengtian battlefield to fight Xiao Yue was just a rhetoric on the table, Yang Tiesheng probably said the same thing to Xue Changqing, and several people in Xue Changqing's group were also very excited, and everyone was talking about it.

In order to avoid the garrison and eyes and ears of the Yue army in Tonghua, Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou both proposed to take the northern route to Shenyang City, go to the mountain city through the Liuhe River, and finally arrive at Fushun, which was 80 miles longer than the Tonghua line. The bigger the horse team, the more problems there are, Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou estimate that they will have to walk for half a month at the earliest, and if there is a heavy snowstorm in the middle of the road, it is normal to walk for a month.

Hearing them say this, Song Biao was very anxious, if he wanted to participate in the Battle of Heigoutai, he would have to arrive in Shenyang City before January 20 next year, but he still kept quiet, only thinking about specific countermeasures in his heart.

At noon, the banquet was eaten for nearly two hours, Song Biao saw that everyone was very happy, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and saw that the time was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so he said to everyone: "Let's go to Shenyang as soon as possible, leave early and rest assured, I hope to prepare everything within three days." Xue Ye, you are now also the squadron leader of our security brigade, and you also have to do your part, you are responsible for recruiting fragmented pony gangs in Hunjiang, and try to organize a big horse team to set off from Balichuan. Old Golden Head, you are in charge of buying some horses and carriages. Captain Hu, you are most familiar with the situation in the Hunjiang area, you first take a squadron to Balichuan to find a suitable place to secretly station, as a response, transport thousands of loads of grain and wait there. When the time comes, Captain Yang will stay and guard the village, and the other brothers will go out with me, and our team will be dispatched, and one team will be left in Shenyang and the village, and the two teams will be responsible for protecting the grain team back and forth on the road. ”

Everyone was even happier when they heard this, as if the silver of the 1.6 million taels of snowflakes was placed in front of them, and they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Song Biao continued to instruct Zhao Tingzhu and Zhang Yahu: "You will follow me to count the firearms in the warehouse in the afternoon, and prepare to do a big deal." ”

Zhao Tingzhu and Zhang Yahu nodded silently, and had no objections, but they didn't expect that Song Biao actually planned to take all the teams out at one time and play a big game with Yue Jun in Heigoutai.

After arranging the task, all the brothers went out to run errands, and Song Biao took Zhao Tingzhu and Zhang Yahu to the warehouse to count the ammunition and firearms.

There are a total of six warehouses in Zhujiabao, and the arsenal occupies two separate rooms, which is located in the northwest corner of Zhujiabao, between the school field and the back slope, covering a large area. Some time ago, with 40,000 loads of grain in his hands, Liu Tongpao was also very generous and bought a large number of old arms and materials with the army, especially the old Murata 18 rifle eliminated by the army, which was bought with 400 rods and 40,000 rounds of 11mm ammunition.

The guarding of the warehouse has always been the responsibility of Yang Tiesheng's Second Infantry Squadron, and Yang Tiesheng also brought people in.

The East Treasury is a semi-cellar-style warehouse, about the size of a basketball arena, where the main munitions are stored, while the West Treasury is simply for artillery and other odd and bits of materials, including supplies like morphine.

Song Biao walked around the east warehouse with a horsewhip, looking at the ammunition reserves of more than 100 boxes, he still felt a little confident, although more than half of the ammunition in it was old goods eliminated by the army, but it was better than nothing.

After a rough look, Song Biao and Zhao Tingzhu beside him sighed: "Liu Tongpao may still have some ideas, he just wants to wait for the grain to sell at a good price, and then he can continue to recruit troops and buy horses, but it's a pity that such a good foundation has been left for us." ”

Saying this, Song Biao stepped forward and picked up a Murata Type 18 rifle to take a look, it was very old, and it must be the obsolete goods of the army. This gun is a copy of the French Chaspo rifle, the bolt is basically the same structure, the overall design is not only controlled by the French, the role of the manufacturing director is also held by the French captain, and the company also hired more than ten technical directors from Germany and Belgium.

This was all in 1880, and it was not until 1885 that the gun actually entered service.

The development of the military industry was basically synchronized with that of the Qing Dynasty, and the two sides were half a catty and eight taels, but after the First Sino-Japanese War, they moved towards two development directions, one high and one low, one gradually higher, and the other continued to decline.

Zhao Tingzhu followed Song Biao, and also picked up a Murata Type 18 rifle to check it, and waited for a while before saying to Song Biao: "Liu Tongcang's ability is still too sparse, even if he has money in his hand, sooner or later he will still be replaced by others, I think it is more affordable for people like him to wash their hands early." ”

Hearing this, Yang Tiesheng and Zhang Yahu both laughed.

Song Biao couldn't laugh.

If he only counted the firearms and materials in his hand, he would have been able to form a team of 1,500 people, and there were still a lot of guns in his hands, including 153 mosin Nagant rifles, 92 Mohona-30 rifles, 335 Murata 22 rifles, 450 Murata 18-style rifles, 44 Mauser rifles, and more than 50 miscellaneous guns, as well as 600 Winchester shotguns, 10 Maxim heavy machine guns, and a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun.

Zhujiabao has recruited a lot of brothers recently, and most of the newly recruited brothers have not yet been fired, and even if they do, it is estimated that they can only issue this old Murata 18-style rifle.

Song Biao roughly looked at it, the Murata Type 22 rifle and the Murata Type 18 rifle were the most lacking in ammunition, and the Mosin Nagant rifle and the Makqin heavy machine gun could only choose one of the two.

After a little thought, Song Biao and Yang Tiesheng instructed: "All the rifles in this book are left for you, you take care of the stockade, I will go out with the Russians' guns, and use a batch of shotguns to equip them first, and when I get to Fengtianfu, I will find another way!" ”

Yang Tiesheng said: "Big boss, you can rest assured, I will keep the strength of two outposts in Nandian Tunzi at that time, plus half a small artillery squadron, and the rest will be guarded in the stockade, and then arrange for the newly recruited brothers to temporarily form a patrol squadron, so that they can show off their strength in each Tunzi, so that Yu Ben and other bandits will not see our reputation." ”

Zhao Tingzhu said: "This is not good, the newly incorporated brothers may have other people's eyeliner, this is still a difficult thing to say, either don't let them go out, or arrange their surnames in Nandian Tunzi, and don't let them go into the village." ”

Song Biao nodded slightly, agreed with Zhao Tingzhu's opinion, and said: "Divide the newly recruited brothers into three, select some of the more reliable brothers to train in the stockade, and the rest will take Nandian Tunzi as the main camp and contact place, and the third part will be scattered in a few distant tunzi, and several patrol outposts will be divided. ”

Yang Tiesheng snorted and said, "That's fine, then I'll do it." ”

Song Biao didn't say anything more, he was originally going to gamble on winning or losing, and he also believed that Yang Tiesheng had the ability to sit in the stockade, as long as he didn't rush out, with the dangerous terrain of Niujiabao and the level of the fortifications of the stockade, leaving two hundred people stationed here, the enemy army must have at least one level of the army wing, and the key is that there are cannons in the stockade, which is very fatal.

Song Biao roughly counted all the other materials, and asked Yang Tiesheng to transport the dozen boxes of morphine to Nandian Tunzi first, waiting for him to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Time was very urgent, and only Song Biao knew it in his heart, so he then asked Zhao Tingzhu to immediately take the first infantry squadron to count all the materials that were going to be taken away with the army.

During this period, Feng Linge also robbed dozens of trucks of arms and materials from the Russian army in Liaozhong, which was better than Song Biao, and immediately became the largest bandit leader in the Northeast, with thousands of people in his hands.

In addition to miscellaneous rifles and eleven heavy machine guns, Song Biao still had more than 600 grenades in his hand, Song Biao left Yang Tiesheng with 300 handles, and the rest of the 300 handles were all taken away.

It was also an adventure for him to participate in the Battle of Heigoutai, and it was these 600 shotguns that he fought for.

There is no need to bring too many machine guns, Song Biao only took six, according to his plan, two of the five left behind will be left alone in Nandian Tunzi to be scary, as long as the army does not even dare to offend Nandian Tunzi easily, Zhujiabao is naturally safer.
