Chapter 286: Able to bend and stretch

Li Rubai heard the sound of the fire gun on the horse, and suddenly gasped, he was born in a family of Jiangmen, and he knew the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty well, and the imperial court built 20,000 bird's beak guns in one go, and the one who refused to install them was the nine-sided military guard headed by Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang, they were more willing to use the three-eyed fire gun, at least after shooting, they could be used as a nail hammer. This was still the last years of Jiajing, and a group of Haojing Franc people were hired by the imperial court, bluntly saying that the imperial court's firearms had lagged behind the Europa countries.

At that time, the Franc machine actually had no relationship with the Franc machine man half of Yongle Tongbao, just like the Ming called Western sugar in Europa but called Chinese sugar, the Hao Jingao Franc machine mercenaries thought that the imperial court's firearms were powerful, but it was too cumbersome, the Ming Ministry of Industry played the Franc machine superbly, and the thick caliber of the manufacturing was surrounded by people, and the thin ones were not like arms, such as the hundred Franc machines designed by Xuanda Governor Weng Wanda for the cavalry, and there were also special bayonets, and the Wansheng Franc machines were allocated to the infantry, It is equivalent to a recoilless gun or a bazooka in later generations, with this, who would want to use a bird's beak gun.

But the powerful Daming firearms are extremely dependent on logistics, and they are indeed very cumbersome, and the Franc machine mercenaries hired by the imperial court bluntly said that the cavalry charge of the Europa countries has begun to carry several palm-sized handcuffs with them, and the military department was extremely disdainful at that time, you know, most of the Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu have the experience of serving as the governor of the nine sides, which leads to them being by no means laymen, the cavalry charge is coming in an instant, and the cavalry on the horse only has time to fire once to throw away the handcuffs for waist knives, and the Ming Dynasty is not those small turtle countries in Europa, Dozens or hundreds of cavalrymen dare to call themselves royal knight guards, and it is not distressing to throw away some handcuffs, but the troops of the Ming Dynasty are calculated in millions, and the ordnance supply is often tens of thousands, and the handcuffs that can only fire one shot at a time, how much do you have to throw away in a battle? Can you afford to throw it?

The Ministry of War dismissed the suggestion of the Franc machine mercenary as nonsense, but most of the nine-sided generals noticed this suggestion, and consciously concentrated the three-eyed firearms for the cavalry to use, before that, the three-eyed firearms were mostly used by the infantry, and the generals found that the cavalry used the three-eyed firearms to charge when they launched the generals, and they could easily use the three-eyed firearms as a nail-head hammer, and the effect was excellent.

This tactic has been very popular since the beginning of the Jiajing period, which is also the reason why many places on the nine sides refuse to install a bird's beak gun, and that thing can only be used as a burning stick if it is shot once, and it is too late to reload it a second time.

Westerners can fight with extremely slow arquebuses for hundreds of years, until the era of the Citigroup Civil War, the two armies still stepped on the drum beat of the military band and walked to each other to see each other before shooting, but if it was in the Ming Dynasty, it would have been ravaged so that it could not find the north.

The standard of the Da Ming Shenji battalion is 3,600 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, 400 artillery, generals, and 5,000 battalion heads, of which 3,600 infantry are all firearms. In the era of Qi Jiguang and Sun Chengzong, 400 people rushed to form 1 cavalry sub-battalion of 4 chong 1600 cavalry, in addition, there must also be two chong quan yong team, and the role of the supervision team and the reserve team, when the Ming Dynasty generals sometimes shirk each other's responsibilities, they will accuse the other party's power and yong team to watch the battle.

It is unrealistic to expect such a force to fight with military music and drums like the Citi people in 1860, and the confident Ming people will not fight like this at all, of course, the trajectory of history is that ten years later, the Ming army ravaged the Fusang people with Franc machine guns in the Korean battle, and the Fusang people used muskets to defend in the street battles, which also made the Ming army suffer a big loss.

Li Rubai, as Li Chengliang's beloved son, inherited the hereditary position of the Li family, the commander of the Tieling Guard, is indeed talented in the belly, and knows all the battles of the Ming Dynasty since the beginning of Jiajing, and is skilled in the use of various hot and cold weapons.

It is said that this is an excellent performance of military literacy, but this is in Suzhou City, and the opposite side is Jinyi Guard, which is equivalent to the field army scouts in later generations showing off their survival in the field in front of the city's elite SWAT team, which is completely unrelated to the wind and horses, and the cows are completely incompatible, these Jinyi guards look at each other, and there is a narrow mouth, and they can't help but say: "We only see people riding horses, and this horse rides people, it's really rare......

Li Rubai shrank under the horse's belly before waking up, this is in Suzhou Mansion, and suddenly hated himself for being too careful, just about to get out of the horse's belly, he heard such a sentence, and immediately his face turned purple, and he was embarrassed to straighten his waist, and dozens of his subordinates heard that these Jinyi guards on the opposite side humiliated the second son so much, not to mention that they killed the leader Li Zhengzhi's beloved horse, one by one, where can they bear it, they all pulled out the waist knife from their waists, and glared angrily at Jinyiwei.

"Most of my governors are here on business, what? Ning Yuanbo's second son wants to rebel? Sun Yinglong walked out of the courtyard, opened his mouth, and first buttoned a rebellious hat to the other party, his family has been in Jinyi for generations, this is an ancestral ability.

This hat is so big, even Li Rubai's head can't be worn, and he immediately knocked off the arrogance of dozens of cavalry soldiers, at this time, Li Zhengzhi turned over, didn't look at his horse that fell in a pool of blood, and first went to help Li Rubai get up, and when he reached out to help, he whispered: "Er Shao, I saw it, Miss Yan was detained in the yard!" ”

Li Rubai's face was red, fortunately, the lights were dim at night, and he could still cover it, otherwise, he, the second young man of the Li family, who had been proud since childhood, might have to hide his face in shame and leave.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, although the Li family is powerful, but it is outside the nine sides, and Li Chengliang, who has two thousand family records, is indeed a luxurious figure like a tiger, but this is in Suzhou Mansion, even if you are Uncle Ning Yuan, everything has to be done according to the rules.

In the end, Li Rubai was embarrassed for a moment before returning to normal, raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to dismount and put away his waist knife, and then said in a long voice: "In Xia Liaodong Li Rubai, I don't know which adult is inside?" I don't know what happened to my sister, but I also looked at Haihan, and said that I would come to apologize in the next place. ”

This is said politely and politely, not humble or arrogant, in the courtyard, the obedient official glanced at Yan Qingwei with a smile, but the arrogant maid Ying Xuehua was a little disappointed, she originally thought that as soon as the young master arrived, these wicked people would be invincible, but under the good official's smiling expression and staring at her young lady, she couldn't help but say: "My young master is a big husband who can bend and stretch, don't be proud." ”

"I can bend and stretch!" The obedient official smiled, "Can you still be big and small?" ”

Ying Xuehua was about to agree casually, but then woke up, didn't she mean what the man said, when the next face turned red, she couldn't help but snort, "Scoundrel." ”

The obedient official naturally didn't care about her, and beckoned to a brocade-clothed lieutenant not far away, and when the lieutenant saw Uncle Guo summoning, he immediately trotted over, "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

"Go, send these two out, and say to the man outside, let him discipline him strictly." The obedient official casually let Yan Qingwei go.

The biggest insult in the world is not to scold you in person, but to ignore you in person, Yan Qingwei's pretty face immediately faded blood, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... What did you say? You're going to send me out? ”

The obedient official looked at her expression and couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you say it, this maidservant, it's your young master outside, and that person also calls her sister, I heard it right!" How? You're not ready to thank me for my magnanimity? ”

Hearing his words, Ying Xuehua viciously struggled to open a few early girls' teams, I really didn't know whether to say whether she was clever or nervous, just watched her walk quickly and walked to Yan Qingwei's side, "Miss, let's go." As he spoke, he glared at the good official fiercely.

At this time, Yan Qingwei became stubborn, bit her lip and said, "I...... Don't go. As he spoke, he was in a state of wanting to cry.

The obedient official couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't leave, he was really a donkey's temper, so he turned his face and stopped paying attention to her, and said loudly: "Sun Yinglong, come back, don't care about the outside, ask them to come in and take the two people away quickly." ”

Sun Yinglong listened to Uncle Guo's words, smiled and walked over to Li Rubai and the others.

The street pattern of Daming city is already very similar to that of later generations, every night, there are night guard boxes at the entrance of each street, and the law of Daming stipulates: one watch three o'clock to beat the twilight drum, prohibiting travel; The morning bell rang at three o'clock on the fifth watch before the ban on traffic. Those who walk on the street on the second, third, and fourth watches will be flogged forty times (fifty times in the capital); Those who commit a night offense after the first watch night ban and shortly before the fifth watch ban is opened, will be flogged 30 times (40 times in the capital).

For example, this kind of street and the sentry box between the streets are lit with bright air lanterns, and many laws were completely invalid in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in a metropolis with a population of millions such as Suzhou Prefecture, you have to curfew, whose money are the women going to earn? If you go out to sing in the church, will you have to be spanked when you come back late? Da Ming's staff blamed him for all the clothes he had stripped of. Aren't those Jiyuan casinos going to close down, and how can the government collect the tertiary industry tax?

Therefore, in many big cities in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Jinling, Yangzhou, Suzhou, etc., the curfew is like a dead letter, and the sentry box is not responsible for arresting people at night.

The streets near this Metropolitan Procuratorate are naturally not comparable with the fireworks where the Qinglou Chu Pavilion gathers, and those places are as bright as daylight, but the air death wind lantern hanging high not far away is enough to illuminate people, Li Rubai saw that the person's square face, although there was a smile on his face, he still gave people a gloomy feeling, and when he got closer, he grinned and said: "The governor of my family said, let you take people away and go back to the good life education and care." ”

Li Rubai was surprised in his heart, he was proficient in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, this so-called Metropolitan Governor, it is estimated that he is the Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but when does the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have the right to call Jinyiwei? Can you still arrest people on the street?

This time, Song Xiaole was among them, he had seen Uncle Guo playing tricks in Nanjing, and he leaned over and whispered next to Er Shao: "It's Concubine De's younger brother, who has been in a good mood recently, and has earned a lot of money for the imperial court." ”

Li Rubai suddenly realized, it turned out to be this person, and in a hurry, he looked at Sun Yinglong, saw that he was wearing a bright flying fish suit, and knew that the official position was not small, at least it had to be a thousand households, and immediately smiled and arched his hand, "The people below are rude, I don't know what to call adults?" ”

"Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Envoy."

The crowd suddenly shivered, not for anything else, Beizhen Fusi was in charge of the famous edict, as long as he was an official, he had to sweat behind his back when he heard this name.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhenfu." Li Rubai smiled and arched his hand, "I don't know if I can ask you to meet the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Sun Yinglong glanced at him and said, "Come with me!" Then he turned and walked into the courtyard.

"Two less." Li Zhengzhi, the leader of the family, was afraid that it would be dangerous for him to go in so rashly, but Li Rubai smiled, and he didn't go to see the Tatar Khan, what was there to be nervous about, so he stretched out his hand and asked him for a box of Dongzhu to stuff into his arms.

Liaodong bitter cold boundary, but there are really a lot of good things, such as Dongzhu, there are records of pearl diving since the time of the Liao Kingdom, hundreds of years in an endless stream, Dongzhu Tenggui, but in the hands of female straight people, but it is worthless, can only be used and the Ming court in exchange for tea iron and other things, this is also Li Chengliang is extremely rich and extravagant, the vast majority of female straight pearl diving is controlled in his hands.

followed Sun Yinglong into the courtyard, although Li Rubai was surprised by Uncle Zheng's youth, he still saluted respectfully, you must know that he is the hereditary commander of the Tieling Guard, and the young man in front of him is the governor of the five armies, although he does not govern him, but he can also be called a Shangguan, not to mention, he is still ready to ask the other party!

"The lowly hereditary commander of the Tieling Guard, Li Rubai, the commander of the Enyin Jinyi Guard, and the Governor of the Metropolitan Guard." Li Rubai's posture is very low, he is from a generation of generals, just like Ying Xuehua said, he can bend and stretch, and when he speaks, he offers a box of Dongzhu with both hands, "A small gift to show respect, and the governor of Wanwang will not refuse." ”

Next to Sugatani Risa took the box from Li Rubai's hand and carefully inspected it before handing it to his Royal Highness, under the stunned gaze of the maid Ying Xuehua, the obedient official opened the box with a smile, and the pearls in it shimmered under the reflection of the dead wind lamp, and his face was shining like a fairy.
