Chapter 113: Heavy Reward

Since the matter of distributing the spoils of war had to be put aside for the time being, the Governor's attention turned back to the three heroes who had beheaded the thieves, and continued the train of thought that had just been interrupted, and said warmly: "The three strong men have made such great achievements, and they should be rewarded. This official has already made a list of rewards, and he can take the head of the 'two kings' to offer a heavy reward of 1,000 taels of silver! Come, bring the silver! A few guards on the side had already carried up the prepared silver box with a snort. Two thousand taels of silver weighs almost 75 kilograms, and it takes a few people to carry it. When the lid of the box was opened, I saw that it was full of boat-shaped ingots with two sharp ends and fine lines and white lines, all of which were 50 taels of silver, which dazzled people's eyes. The generals in the account have been in arrears for a long time, and even if they were paid in the past, they were half of the silver bills, where could they still see such a whole box of silver in front of them, and suddenly there was a small commotion in the crowd of onlookers! Many people's eyes will not move when they are staring at the white flowers, and many eyes with envy and jealousy have gathered on Lao Huang and the others!

The three of them had been standing respectfully in the tent of the Chinese army just now, not daring to move a little, there was a brazier in the tent, it was very warm, the three of them were too thickly dressed, and they did not dare to open their clothes, and their foreheads had begun to sweat. Although the messengers on the road had told them that there might be a reward, and the three of them had already made certain preparations in their hearts, they were still stunned when they suddenly saw the large box of silver in front of them. Wu Shiyi and Wu Fifteen are younger, but it's okay, Lao Huang's eyes are about to pop out, and his face is flushed!

This can't blame him for his gaffe, it's really too shocking for the three former hungry people who didn't have anything not long ago, you must know that two thousand taels of silver are enough to buy thousands of acres of good land in this year! Even if the three of them divide it equally, one person can get more than 300 acres, which is a lot of industry that can be passed on to the descendants! Isn't the dream of Chinese farmers to own their own land, and this dream has come true! At this time, the three of them just wanted to rush up and hold the silver in their arms, and the four words lingered in their minds repeatedly: "I have made a fortune!" ”

The expressions of the generals in the account are also extremely exciting, the reason is very simple, even for them, two thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to the income of a guard commander or a general for two years, and can even be used to buy a thousand households! And what is even more surprising is that Wu Wei, as the commander of the Ansai battalion, is not greedy for merit, but honestly reports the truth to the governor and gives all the credit to these three nobodies! This kind of behavior will ask themselves that it will never be possible, what kind of thing is this, the silver of the white flowers is pushed out, isn't it stupid?

Yang He was very satisfied with the reactions of all parties on the scene, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward. He is a civil official, but most of his subordinates are military generals, he is not afraid that these martial artists are greedy for money and love goods, such talents are simple and easy to control, isn't it? If anyone is not greedy for money, this person is more dangerous, and there is a question mark about what his intentions are.

Two thousand taels of silver is too heavy, even if the three of them divide it equally, one person will have 50 catties, is it possible for one person to send a sack to carry on his back? It's too much of an obstacle. Of course, the Governor would not do such an ill-conceived thing, and the display of the silver was only a ceremonial effect, and the three of them were naturally allowed to exchange it for a silver ticket when it was really issued. There were several Jin merchants accompanying the army of the trilateral governors, who were responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the army, the purchase of booty, and other matters, which were all lucrative transactions! Redeeming huàn for a mere 2,000 taels of silver is just a piece of cake for it, and the silver bills issued by more than a dozen joint numbers in Shanxi are not the same as the Daming treasure banknotes that have been rotten on the street, that is the hard currency that has been ringing in this year, and it can be used as cash silver.

Although the award has been awarded, Yang He still has unanswered questions in his heart. He has always been thinking about the hot air balloon, and he is very interested in the specific process of Fang Cai Wu Wei introducing the killing of the "two kings". When Yang He was in Beijing, he had many contacts with Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and others, and also had contact with Western missionaries, and his acceptance of Western science was still very high. Wu Wei also paid great attention to expressing it in a way that is easy for people to understand in this era, such as ten thousand enemies and Molotov cocktails, although there have been no two things before, but the principle is clear as soon as it is explained, and there is no barrier at all, and although the hot air balloon is unbelievable and unprecedented, the principle Wu Wei also said very clearly, it is just a super-large Kong Ming lantern. Although so, the truth is one thing, and the actual production is another, why does everyone know these truths, but only Wu Wei can put them into practice? There must be something unknown in this, and Yang He is quite curious about this.

The Governor proposed to see the hot air balloon, and all the generals were also full of interest, everyone had seen the hot air balloon flying in the sky before, and they were even more surprised when they knew that Lao Huang and the three people were on the hot air balloon at that time. Also, this kind of thing is too unbelievable, this is a manned flight, one or two hundred years ahead of the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe! But the corpse of the "two kings" is placed outside, the facts are beyond doubt, it has been proved that it was killed by the three people in front of them from the sky throwing a gunpowder bag to death, this kind of miracle generals are the most happy to see, at this time I wish Wu Wei quickly raised the hot air balloon again so that everyone can see what the scene was at that time!

Everyone's interest was so high, Wu Wei didn't want to disobey the will of the people, and ordered the guards to send an order to transport the hot air balloon, the "ten thousand enemies", and the Molotov cocktail, of course, the hot air balloon ran out of fuel, so people replaced it with a new liquefied gas tank. Wu Wei didn't worry about leaking these things at all, because there were no materials to make a hot air balloon in this era, even if it was sewn out of sheepskin regardless of the cost, it would be difficult to make it rise without a blower and flamethrower. The "10,000 enemies" and Molotov cocktails are both sharp weapons for defending the city, which are cheap and easy to use, and are most suitable for the military status quo of lack of food and salary at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be weapons of mass destruction for the poor.

If the "10,000 enemies" were popularized ten years earlier than in history, the strategic shape of the Ming Dynasty would be very different, at least in the upcoming changes, it would be impossible for Jianyu to capture the four cities in the Guannei! For small county towns, there is a lack of long-range firearms, and the "10,000 enemies" is even more important to them. Even for the big city, the "10,000 enemies" and Molotov cocktail killing effect is also very good, because the red-coated cannon has a large dead angle, once the enemy attacked the city, it can only meet the enemy with rolling wood and stones, and now there are "10,000 enemies" and Molotov cocktails, which can make up for this shortcoming, and the traditional city wall also has the power of a fortress!

Moreover, Wu Wei still has follow-up means that he has not yet come up with, he was inspired in this battle, and he still lacks long-range throwing equipment. At the height of today's battle, with the density of the thieves, if the "10,000 enemies" were thrown into their queue with trebuchets, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties! If it weren't for the hot air balloon's contribution at a critical time, it would be really difficult to predict the outcome of today's battle! In view of this, Wu Wei is preparing to return to modern times to find a manufacturer to customize some catapults, using high-strength springs, the kind that is light and easy to carry, and treats the two things of "ten thousand enemies" and incendiary bottles as ** beating. In this way, two or three people can form a field group, which can move at any time, which is a revolutionary weapon compared to the large and small Franc machines that often cost hundreds of thousands of pounds in this era! Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for reward, Wuchang fish thank you!
