Chapter 196: Clues

Zheng Guobao summoned Sun Dayong and said, "Old Sun, I can't do this." Look at it, how do you play? ”

Luzhu Weng also came over, looked at the terrain, and discussed with Sun Dayong, Xin Liezhi and others for a while. In the end, he came to the conclusion that "there are no tricks, and you still have to fight hard." ”

Fortunately, the Jinyi guard gun did not leave his hand, dozens of Jinyi people had a long spear in their hands, and they took turns shooting, and more than a dozen rows of guns hit it, and the arrows on the opposite side were thinned, but occasionally a dull gunfire sounded.

When the team had advanced more than thirty steps, they heard a bang on the other side of the warehouse. After a short time, dozens of people from the mountain brandished weapons and descended like tigers descending from the mountain. The monks and soldiers of Shaolin naturally took the initiative and greeted them with weapons. Unexpectedly, those people on the mountain had a very tenacious will to fight, and their martial arts were not weak.

At this time, Jinyiwei also rushed up to participate in the battle, and finally relied on the numerical advantage to stabilize the situation. Zheng Guobao also admired: "These people from the Songshan faction are so capable of fighting? It doesn't seem to be the same as the soft-footed shrimp I've seen before, could it be that there is some Taibao sitting here, it would be fun if it did. ”

Ren Yingying said: "It doesn't look like it, there are a few people in it, how can it look like the number of Jurchens outside the Guanwai?" ”

The brutality of this battle is far beyond everyone's imagination. On the defensive side of the warehouse, the whole army was wiped out, and not a single prisoner was caught. Zheng Guobao's side also killed and injured more than 20 people. Never before had there been such heavy casualties in previous battles, although most of the casualties were among monks and soldiers. But it is also necessary for Zheng Guobao to secretly admire the combat effectiveness of these people. At the last moment, there were also attempts to set the warehouse on fire. The armory was burned, but the fire was extinguished by the people in the green forest of Henan who divided the troops.

Find a wound in the warehouse that has been blown up and covered in blood. Most of the shotguns suddenly exploded, knocking people unconscious. The rest of the shotguns, no one dared to operate them, so they simply went down and worked hard. There are also two left-behind people who want to set fire to the jade and stone when they see that the battle situation is unfavorable, and this ruthlessness is really admirable.

Zheng Guobao said: "Since these people care so much about this warehouse, there must be some important items, so I will search carefully." Don't leave anything behind. And this wounded number, also bring it back to me, if it can be saved, this is an important confession. ”

The pro-soldiers went down the mountain, knocked on the door from house to house, and intimidated the mother-in-law by pulling away the mother-in-law to suppress the village and removing the grain to fill the army's rations, and mobilized the fathers and elders of the whole village to move things down the mountain. Someone else won Zheng Guobao's gold medal. Go to Xuzhou to transfer the master and the vehicle.

Looking at the truckloads of seizures, Ren Yingying said, "Let's not talk about these ordnance, food, silk, a good armory." What to do with these. ”

Zheng Guobao looked at these things and sneered: "This left head is also a big ambition. Eighty percent of him has some deals to be settled with the Tartars outside the gates. This bird is made by this craftsman. Or are they not good at their craft. The materials are also incomplete and have not formed a scale. If it is in the hands of the Songshan faction. There are dozens of bird guns, master, you Shaolin faction is afraid that it is not very convenient to be the first. ”

Shaolin suffered heavy casualties this time, with more than a dozen dead and wounded, and Yuanjue also wanted to ask Uncle Guo for a pension. When I saw these ordnance, I didn't have to say anything. On the ground in Henan, someone can make a bird gun privately? If it is combined with the Songshan fire in the future, and someone directly puts the shotgun at one end, then will it still be a ball?

Knocking out this blacksmith shop, from a long-term perspective, the biggest beneficiary is still Shaolin Temple. Therefore, those words that want benefits, Yuan Jue can't say it anyway, but he feels that he is aware of it later, and it is really shameless to let such a big scourge survive in the Shaolin sphere of influence.

Those craftsmen were all wronged, not saying that they were members of the court. Someone else took a document out and said that it was something written to them by someone from the imperial court to prove their status as a military craftsman. Shooting a shotgun by himself is approved by the imperial court, why was he caught?

Zheng Guobao saw that although the seal on the document was fake, the level of counterfeiting was very high-end, and it was difficult to identify it at the entrance of the old ya. After asking carefully, I learned that these blacksmiths are all craftsmen of the Beijing Division's War Bureau, but they are not outstanding, and they do more chores on weekdays. Later, a little eunuch came to them and asked them to support the Henan military guards, only saying that Henan used soldiers, and the weapons were damaged and urgently needed to be repaired.

When they arrived at the land, they were connected and brought all the way to the village. When the time comes, someone will come to deliver food, and they will hire small workers for them, and these original second-rate craftsmen will become masters when they arrive, and they will be happy to work in the local area.

Someone came to report that the dead bodies had been inspected, and there were indeed Jurchen barbarians inside. Zheng Guobao sneered: "Most of those silks, armor, and food are the goods that the Jurchen barbarians wanted. These poor ghosts, in order to protect their things, naturally gritted their teeth and played with us. These people are really not easy to mess with, and it seems that they can't be taken lightly. ”

He turned his head to Ren Yingying again and said, "This time it's cheaper for you." Your pro-soldier team, this is a shotgun for a cannon. There are more than thirty pairs of iron armor here, and four bird guns, all of which are yours. As for the bows and crossbows, look at them yourselves, and put the rest into the treasury. ”

Ren Yingying didn't thank her, but just ordered her subordinates to go and receive it. He only asked, "Then what are you going to do with these craftsmen and apprentices?" ”

"It's very easy to do. Don't they like to be masters? In the northwest, there is a shortage of craftsmen. Even those apprentices may be regarded as masters when they get there, and these craftsmen who make shotguns and blow them up when they have nothing to do are also talents. When the people who could not pay the ransom were sent to the loop, they were dragged up as well. A craftsman is worth five taels, and a small worker is worth two taels, which is more than selling monks. ”

The news that the blacksmith shop in Xuzhou was cracked was sent by the former Zhensong Army Military Horse Statistics Office, which was later referred to as the intelligence agency of the military command. At the beginning of the rebellion of the Zhensong Army, all the members of the military command collectively rebelled, returned to the Songshan system, and continued to serve the left leader, which can be regarded as an important eye and eye of Songshan.

It is said that they do have a certain ability to collect local intelligence in Henan, and they have also made outstanding contributions in several open and secret battles with Shaolin. However, Zheng Guobao attacked Xuzhou this time without warning in advance, and did not mobilize the border army and local battalions. only said that he took Ren Yingying to relax, and suddenly made a move, which caught the Songshan faction off guard. By the time the news was heard, the entire blacksmith industry had been wiped out.

When Zuo Lengchan gave the order to invite all the Taibao to hold a meeting, those Taibao bombed the camp. Le Hou said: "Master, what do you want now?" Once our business with slaves is exposed, it will also be a sin to destroy the door. It's such a big thing, so let's start first. Nuer Hachi can raise troops with thirteen pairs of armor, let's Songshan, how can there be more than thirteen pairs of armor in our hands? There is also such a horse team in hand, if it is a surprise attack, it may not be successful, hesitate, but it will be too late. ”

Tang Ying'e said: "This can't be helped. This is not outside the gates, and we are not those Jiannu. Now there are so many border troops stationed in Henan, if we dare to rebel, as long as Uncle Guo gives an order, we will all be finished. How good is the former Henan Eight Battalions, and how is it? A soldier will immediately become a rat crossing the street, let's raise troops, aren't we looking for death? ”

"But we won't survive the blacksmith's furnace. Besides, the Jurchens paid for all the horses, and we can't give the goods, can they spare us? ”

"The question now is not whether those female straight tartars can spare us. What can they do to us outside the gate? Even if you come to Henan to find trouble, there will not be many people, but there is nothing to be afraid of, when our people go to do business outside the customs, be more careful. Now the question is, can Uncle Guo spare us. Armor, muskets, this is all a sin of raiding the house! ”

Zuo Lengchan now regrets a little, why should he be greedy for a while and take over this business. In this business, Zhang Whale wants to share more than 40% of the profits, but if something really happens, he will not endorse himself. As for the troops that Le Hou said, if the Songshan faction was willing to fully assist when the Zhensong army raised troops, it would not be impossible to deal with the officers and soldiers in Henan for a year and a half; If Cui Shaobai is in trouble, Zuo Lengchan is in the same camp as him, and he can't take advantage of the momentum of Dongchang to fight with Uncle Guo undefeated; Even later, when the knife was opened to Shaolin, if the Songshan faction and Shaolin were on the same front, they might not be able to dominate Songshan, so that Uncle Guo would not dare to wait and see. But these opportunities have slipped out of the fingers one by one, so what are you talking about? Now that Songshan is raising troops, what is the difference between looking for death? (To be continued!)
