In the battle of the Hunhe River, the white pole soldiers fought against tens of thousands of Tartars with 7,000 soldiers, and the white pole soldiers killed thousands of Tartars, daring to fight with the Tartars in the field, and the white pole soldiers were definitely the strongest soldiers. They can proudly say that they were not defeated in the hands of the Tartars, but they were consumed!

However, it is a pity that Da Ming does not seem to care much about this loyal and brave force, and even their tactics and tactics are not carefully recorded, but it is attributed to the barbarian people's fierce style and fearlessness of life and death. But after commanding such a long battle, Gu Zhenhua knew very well that with the equipment of the white pole soldiers, the only possible choice to be able to compete with the Tartars in the field was the spear phalanx!

In other words, the white-pole soldiers had found the most effective and inexpensive means of restraining the Tatar cavalry. It's just a pity that the ruler of the Ming Dynasty will only smash the silver on the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and leave this loyal and brave army aside.

Those white-pole soldiers who were short and nimble, with only a spear in their hands, fought with the iron horsemen of the Tartars, burning with a loyal soul and full of blood. They passed on from father to son, and the brothers went into battle, shedding blood for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. But it has fallen to the point of raising its own food and preparing its own war horses, what a sorrow!

It is precisely out of pity for the white pole soldiers that Gu Zhenhua is extraordinarily generous this time.

"Ma Gongzi, Ma girl, this king first allocated you two million taels of silver, half of which will be used to divide the military salary, and half will be used to pay for the families of the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives over the years. As for the armament, as long as you ask, there is no ambiguity about what this king can offer! ”

Ma Wanchun's eyes were straight, he suddenly stretched out his fingers and pinched his thighs fiercely!

It hurts!

Not a dream!

"Lord Wang, you mean two million taels of silver, this, this is too much!"

"Hahaha, how can anyone dislike the military salary, you have served the court for decades, and countless warriors have died on the battlefield. The court owes you a debt of it! ”

Ma Wanchun was just in his early twenties, and when he heard this, tears suddenly poured out uncontrollably.

"Lord Wang, to put it bluntly, we really feel wronged. The imperial court doesn't care about us at all, the military pay is the least, and the ordnance is not. Why is it called a white pole soldier? It's because we can't afford anything else except a white pole, no armor, no firearms, and we all rely on our lives to kill the enemy. As a result, when we are rewarded for meritorious deeds, we hardly have our share. The Battle of the Hunhe River. We fought bloodily, but we were plotted by our own people, and thousands of our ancestors were all killed. Until now, the white pole soldiers have not recovered their former combat strength. Grandma was over seventy years old, and she had to lead the troops to fight, and because of the mediocrity of the court, she was defeated by the hands of thieves. It's not that we don't want to serve the country. It's the court that is sorry for us! ”

Ma Wanchun's words hurt his heart and his liver and gallbladder were broken. Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, if Da Ming could be ironclad, even if he used one-tenth of his strength, the Tartar would have been wiped out long ago! Loyal soldiers will not be used, rewards and punishments are not clear, and it is no wonder that a group of soft bones will surrender to the Tartars, and a group of clear streams who can only drum up their lips and tongues are the real culprits of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. The best assistant of the Tartars!

"Ma Gongzi, the past is over, this king will never treat the white pole soldiers badly, from now on, the white pole soldiers will refer to the security ** standard to put food and ordnance, and the king is ready to invite the white pole soldiers to the martyr's shrine and enjoy the four o'clock memorial!"

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Ma Wanchun threw himself on his knees. kowtowed to Gu Zhenhua. Gu Zhenhua hurriedly helped him up.

"Ma Gongzi, in the future, Sichuan will depend on you a lot, let's go and see the ordnance first, what is needed. You bring it up! ”

Gu Zhenhua immediately found Xia Shouli, and they went to the ordnance warehouse together and asked Ma Wanchun to choose. After entering the warehouse, Ma Wanchun's eyes were not enough, and he looked around. An** has both hot and cold weapons, a lot of varieties and excellent quality, touch this, look at that, all are good.

Of course, Ma Wanchun also knew that the most suitable weapon should be selected, especially to make up for the lack of white pole soldiers, the white pole soldiers generally lack armor, the defense ability is not successful, and the lack of firearms also has no long-range attack ability, and the white pole soldiers have more than enough defense and insufficient attack.

And even if we win, it will be difficult to expand the results. Ma Wanchun carefully selected a circle, and finally he picked out three things, a cuirass, a handcuff, and a tiger squat cannon.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of being a tiger in the door, and it's accurate to see it." Xia Shouli said with a smile: "The terrain of Sichuan is rugged and mountainous, and the weapons that grow up are useless, Ma Gongzi, let's do it, I will allocate three thousand pairs of cuirass to you, and the cavalry of the handcuffs is also expanding, and for the time being, I can only allocate you a thousand, plus two thousand self-generated firearms, as for the tiger squat cannon, two hundred, what do you think?" ”

At this moment, not only Ma Wanchun was dumbfounded, but even Ma Yanran, who had been following him honestly, was wide-eyed.

"There aren't so many in the warehouse, especially this kind of armor, a complete piece, all of them are fine iron, compared to the cost must be amazing, we can't afford it!" Ma Yanran said with her little tongue out.

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "This kind of cuirass is modeled after the Xiyi system, and it is smashed out of the hydraulic forging machine with fine iron. The protection ability is better than the traditional armor, and it is more flexible, suitable for mountain combat, and indeed suitable for white pole soldiers. As for the money thing, it hurts my feelings if I talk too much! ”

Xia Shouli also smiled: "Miss Ma, this is just a show, we have a large number of factories in Nanyang, Guide and other places, with a lot of inventory, within a month and a half, it is guaranteed that you can send it to Sichuan with a fleet, you just have to take it!" ”

"On behalf of the villain, grandmother, thank you King Zhongshan, thank you Mr. Xia!"

Ma Wanchun is overjoyed, with these weapons, and two million taels of silver, it is simply a complete task, and it is good to explain to his grandmother when he goes back.

Ma Yanran's small eyes rolled, and she suddenly saw several strange-shaped swords on the shelf in front of her. It was just over a foot long, and its blade was curved like a serpent's letter, with strange patterns on it, and various patterns carved on the golden hilt.

In particular, the blade of the sword is full of cold light, which makes people shudder.

"Lord, I heard my grandmother say that in ancient times, there was a famous sword called fish intestines, is this what is in front of you?"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Miss Ma, the king of the fish intestine ancient sword has never seen it, but these swords should not be worse than the fish intestine sword." ”

Saying that, Gu Zhenhua picked the most compact one and sent it to Ma Yanran.

"Miss Ma, you might as well guess where this sword came from?"

Ma Yanran took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, although this sword was less than a foot, it was full of breathtaking cold light, especially the part of the blade, with a series of patterns, shaped like ears of grain, the slightest hint of beauty. And the most special thing is that there is a faint fragrance on the blade, and when you smell it, you will be refreshed.

"Lord Wang, I can't guess, but I've never seen such a delicate sword, maybe it's the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace, and it's just beautiful!"

"Hahaha, Miss Ma, this is not an ornament, you might as well pluck a head and try it."

Ma Yanran was suspicious, tore off a long green silk, put it on the blade, and blew it gently, and suddenly the silk was divided into two parts, and it fell flutteringly.

"Ah, it's a hairpick!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Miss Ma, this sword is not from the Central Plains, but from the overseas South Seas, I heard that it is made of meteorite iron by the local natives, and its manufacturing process is extremely fine, only the process of repeated hammer forging into the fire has to be repeated about 5oo times, and there are as many as 6oo layers of sandwich steel on the blade." According to historical records, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi, the prince of Wei, loved swords, and once recruited Chu Yue Liang craftsmen to build a hundred swords for him, but he was only in the fire a hundred times when building the blade. It pales in comparison! ”

In fact, this sword is the famous Malay Klux sword in later generations, and the craftsmanship is indeed as Gu Zhenhua said, extremely complex, and has the reputation of the king of weapons in South Asia.

This sword is widely known after the Dutch invasion, and it was with this fine sword that the Malays used this sophisticated sword to cut the barrel of the Dutch's gun and shock the West. At that time, the Dutch were proud to own a kris sword, and this fierce cold weapon was brought back to Europe in large quantities. It's just that in later generations, the craftsmanship of the Kriss sword has been lost, and we can only rely on the only collection to recall the edge of this sword.

The few Klux swords owned by Gu Zhenhua were not snatched by robbery, but were personally given by a chief in Nanyang. Shen Tingyang had arranged for a fleet to go south to scout trade routes, but they encountered a typhoon and drifted to an unknown coast. When I met the local natives, it happened that an indigenous chief fell ill, and the local sorcerer was useless to dance the gods, so he was treated by the military doctor who accompanied the ship.

As a token of his gratitude, the chief gave the fleet five swords. After repairing the ship, the soldiers returned to Shanghai and handed over the sword to Shen Tingyang, who in turn dedicated it to Gu Zhenhua.

Ma Yanran was also shocked when she heard that this sword had such a rich origin. It was hurriedly delivered to Gu Zhenhua's hands.

"Lord Wang, the little girl is rude, you should take such a valuable thing, if it breaks, I can't afford to pay for it!"

Ma Yanran said while patting her tall chest.

"Miss Ma, although this sword is sharp, the size is too small to be used in my hand, so it is better to give it to the girl, and keep it for self-defense!"

"Ah, no, no, a divine weapon, how dare I ask for it!"

Although Ma Yanran said this, her eyes were still firmly fixed on the sword, and she couldn't leave it at all.

"Hahaha, Miss Ma, no matter how good things are, it's useless to put them on the table, you came from afar, I should also send some greeting gifts!"

Gu Zhenhua said and took the delicate red gold scabbard and stuffed it into Ma Yanran's hand. The little girl really liked it, and nodded and accepted it with a red face.

After all the negotiations were made, Gu Zhenhua sent his brother and sister away.

"Lord Wang, you are a little too kind to them, right? Isn't that like your personality? ”

"Lao Xia, do you think this king is a stingy person?"

Xia Shouli rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "You are!" ”

Gu Zhenhua touched his nose and said in a meaningful voice: "Mr. Xia, I can't hide it, I heard them say that Old Madam Qin is in very bad health!" ”
