Chapter 68 Ordnance II
Since the end of the White Clothes Rebellion, the Jinyi Guards in Huaxian County have not organized night operations. This time, I got Yang Chengzu's order, saying that there was a big fish coming over and it was going to work overnight, who dared to be absent and directly dismissed from the army, and go home to eat old rice, and knew that something big was coming.
When they arrived at the place, they saw that even more than 100 military remnants had been mobilized, and the guys in their hands were not clubs used to fight in groups, but bright single knives and spears, and they knew that this was a real thing.
Song Liansheng said: "Big nephew, didn't you say that there was a private salt boat coming?" Although the salt dealers are brave, they are also salt bandits after all, not the main army of the imperial court. Besides, how many salt bandits can there be in only one boat, there are so many of us, how can we clean him up and bring so many guys? Why did I look at it, even the bow and crossbow were moved out? ”
When they mobilized, they heard the order to build a salt boat, and everyone knew that the private salt business was profitable, and the private salt of a boat was worth a lot, so everyone held back their strength and their morale was very full.
But fighting with the salt bandits, mobilizing Jinyi for regular service is almost the same, and it is enough to mobilize dozens of surplus troops no matter how bad it is. This is Henan, not Huaishang, and the power of the salt bandits is not so great. But looking at this posture, it was the whole Jinyi Yamen of the entire Huaxian County who went out, all of them holding weapons and posing in a posture of playing with their lives, which was a bit of a fuss. Even if the salt boat is hit, how much money can one person share if so many people get a point?
Yang Chengzu said: "Now, I don't have to hide it from everyone, I said that the salt ships are to prevent leakage of news, and the goods of these ships are much more important than salt." As long as we drive these boats, I will ensure that there will be at least one general flag among us, and as for the small flags and regular service, we can also produce more than a dozen. ”
"A flag?" Song Liansheng's eyes lit up, but then he felt that this was unreliable, you must know that it is now a peaceful year, how can it be so easy to be promoted. "Could it be that there are a few northern captives hiding on that ship? Or is it the mind of the White Lotus Sect? Otherwise, I don't think it's so expensive. ”
"There is neither a white lotus mind nor a northern captive on it, but in addition to food, there are fifty divine fire guns, twenty thunderbolts, and one hundred and fifty catties of gunpowder on the three boats. Thirty crossbows, sixty hard bows, forty pairs of iron armor, and eighty sets of harnesses. Do you talk about these things, are they worth a general flag? ”
As soon as he heard these things, Song Liansheng's mouth couldn't be closed, and he said after a while: "These things are all on these three boats, could it be that this is the ship of the Japanese Kou?" Otherwise, how can there be so many weapons, and they are all deadly forbidden objects, and we don't have enough people. ”
If he had doubts about Yang Chengzu's reward before, after listening to what he said, he thought that Yang Chengzu's estimate was too conservative. Are these things worth just one flag? If you are willing to take out the money to do it, it is not impossible to get a real job of 100 households.
This is a firearm iron armor, in other words, these things fall into the hands of all the way Haoqiang, and they can be reversed. This kind of great credit must not be missed, but the question is if you want to eat this credit, is your teeth enough?
These more than 100 men are still quite brave in fighting and fighting, but the problem is that they don't have firearms in their hands. There is only one handcuff in the entire Huaxian Xiaoqi Office, and the power of that thing is only able to hit the opposite side. In addition, the launch is complicated and the reloading is difficult, so it is not as easy to use as hand. If there are so many firearms and crossbows on the ship, and they fire together, they will suffer a big loss in firepower on their side.
"I have a little friendship with Liu Hong and Liu Inspector, do you want to take my note and go to his place to borrow dozens of people?" Song Liansheng hesitated and asked tentatively.
Yang Chengzu shook his head and said: "This is the credit of our Jinyi, don't give them the inspection department." I made the deal myself. Don't worry, although the guys on their ship are powerful, but now the people on the ship are the people who escort the boat, not the people who make the guys. They have few people and are defenseless, so let's fight him coldly and not be afraid of him. ”
After waiting for about half a minute, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the whole dock was silent, except for a few lanterns that shone weakly. Yang Chengzu took the lead, walking in the first place with a steel knife in his hand, followed by more than a dozen regular soldiers, and then more than 100 troops.
"Sons, this opportunity is in front of you, and it's up to you whether you can seize it or not. When you are in the army, you are in order to one day become a regular soldier, and now is the only chance. As long as you take this credit, there will be a chance that more than a dozen of you will be able to become full-time employees. There are also those who can ascend to the sky in one step and become a small flag. So don't say I won't give you a chance, the opportunity is right in front of you, and it's up to you whether you can catch it or not. You know that as long as you are willing to work hard, the reward will be doubled, the decoction of the injured will be doubled, and the bereavement and burial will also be doubled if you are unfortunately killed. If you retreat from the battle, you can leave now, and whoever reports the news will be hacked to death on the spot. You all keep an eye on the people around me, and whoever dares to communicate with him will give him a knife. ”
His mobilization for the war was quite effective, and these military remnants all ate with Jinyi, and most of them wanted to change into real flying fish suits, and from then on they became Jinyi's main job, and had a hereditary future for their children. But generally speaking, it is difficult for those who are surplus soldiers in the county to survive to that point, and this opportunity is indeed extremely rare for them.
Besides, the silver Yang Chengzu gave last time was indeed generous, and the military salary and reward were a lot, so that these military remnants also believed him from the heart, knowing that he would not cheat himself, and following him would definitely have a secure future. And although Yang Chengzu himself doesn't like to charge ahead, at the moment, his position is not high.
At this time, shouting at me is definitely more mobilizing than shouting at me, so I have to be at the forefront.
Seeing that he took the lead in the hard top firecracker, those remnants of the army had no reason to retreat, this cadre was not a regular army, and he didn't know what a formation was. More than 100 people lined up in a large area and touched towards the three boats.
Seeing that he was about to touch the vicinity of the boat, a man went to the bow of the boat to relieve himself, and saw a large group of black shadows coming by the light, and knew that it was not good, and shouted: "What person! I'm a ...... of the Cao Gang."
Before he finished speaking, someone on Yang Chengzu's side had already shot an arrow, but it was dark at night and he couldn't see the target clearly, and the arrow flew past the person. But when the man saw that he was directly releasing the arrows here, he knew that it was a dead hand, and he pulled his neck and shouted: "Old and young masters, copy guys, someone has come to grab the goods!" ”
With his shout, the whole battle officially began, and Yang Chengzu led the people to shout: "The case of betraying the imperial court has occurred, and the imperial court has sent 3,000 elite soldiers from the Fubiao battalion to surround you, lay down your arms and surrender as soon as possible, whoever dares to resist will be dead!" ”
At this time, a shirtless Hou Sheng jumped on the deck and shouted: "Don't be afraid, let's help the people are in the goods, the people are dead, the goods are dead, it's time to sell your life, fight with them." As he spoke, he raised a fire bolt in his hand, lit a fire fold downward, and stabbed it towards the fire door.
