Emperor Longwu showed his face a few times and then retracted back to Zhongshan, and the city of Nanjing regained its former tranquility.

Right now, in Yingtianfu, it's not the turn of the General's Mansion to have the final say. But with the news of Huguang's successive victories in the war, people with a little sensitivity know that such a day will not be too far away.

In mid-August, Zheng Cai led 10,000 naval troops stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture to return to Fujian, and they only submitted an official document to the General's Mansion and the Cabinet respectively in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, but without waiting for a reply, they retreated on their own

The imperial court had no binding effect on the Zheng family's soldiers and horses, and the same was true of the General's Mansion.

The withdrawal of Zhenjiang soldiers and horses in Jiangnan caused a lot of turmoil, and many people thought that this was a signal for Zheng's withdrawal from Jiangnan. The Zheng family garrisoned 40,000 troops in Jiangnan, but there was no way to exert influence on the government like the General's Mansion, which was really chicken.

For a few days, the Xiying General Military Mansion was broken through the threshold by guests, and the soldiers came one after another to inquire about Zheng Sen's news. If the Zheng family decided to withdraw, Jiangnan would undoubtedly be completely under Zhai Zhe's control. There are many people who are not reconciled, and the new policy imposed this year has ruined the reputation of the general in just a few months during the anti-shaving order. The scholars in Jiangnan were divided into two factions, one faction was preaching the merits of the general, and the other faction was describing how the general was domineering and how he abused power.

At the end of August, the battle under the city of Xiangyang was in full swing, the head of Shanxi was like a melon, and the city of Nanjing was immersed in a song and dance.

A caravan came from the west and landed at Nanjing. They brought with them the mountain goods that were the specialties of Huguang, and there were two men in the caravan with dark skin and shining eyes.

This is an ordinary caravan, and dozens of such caravans come to Yingtianfu every day.

No one noticed that the two men who looked like guards disappeared before the caravan entered Nanjing.

There is a mountain villa on the outskirts of Nanjing, which originally belonged to the industry of the Luo family, a salt merchant in Huizhou, which used to be very lively, since the general recovered the south of the Yangtze River, the Luo family was deprived of the right to run the salt industry, and the grass gradually grew on the path at the entrance of this mountain villa.

The two men who had disappeared from the caravan had appeared in this deserted mountain village.

The cottage looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time, and the gloomy room had a layer of black mold on the legs and feet of the wooden table.

There were more than a dozen young people cleaning the house, and they were moving swiftly.

The two men walked into the villa.

A small, ordinary-looking man greeted him, holding a half-cut iron token in his hand.

The man with a thicker beard who walked in front also took out a token from his arms, and the two of them each handed out the token in their hands, and the rough break was handed over in the air, perfectly linked together. Seeing that the code was on the line, the man introduced himself in a rough Hunan accent: "My name is Luo Qi" and pointed to his companion behind him and said: "His name is Zhang Ba"

These two obviously did not have real names, and the man who came to answer them did not mind, pointed to himself and said, "You can call me Wang Da"

Three strange appellations, all of which are hiding their identities.

"You two are not mediocre hands, I won't say much, in the next ten days, you have to follow me seriously, don't lose your own lives and harm others at that time" Wang Da's voice was very indifferent, and his tone was very confident, "From today on, until the day you are ready to die, you are not allowed to go out of this mountain villa"

He led the two to a small dark room, pushed open the door, dragged out two wooden boxes, and introduced, "This is the weapon you will learn to use." ”

The two men looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes, but did not speak.

Wang Da bent down to pry open the nails on the wooden box, and there was a large piece of linen wrapped in a long strip of linen in the wooden box.

Wang Da asked, "Have you ever used a bird gun before?" ”

Luo Qi replied: "I have used it, but it is not as good as a bow and arrow."

"This is different," Wang Da took apart the linen and pulled out a strange bird gun from it. The shaft is as tall as a man, and the iron rod of the shaft is significantly thicker than that of the average bird. Wang Da raised the bird's gun, aimed it in the direction of the courtyard gate, put it down again, and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will begin to practice this."

Zhang Ba stood up and said, "Our bows and arrows are extremely accurate, and the arrows are bloody and bloody on the arrows."

"Is it" Wang Da showed a mocking smile on his face, "It's better for you to shoot me with an arrow, and I will shoot you with a gun"

Luo Qi glared at Zhang Ba fiercely, and Zhang Ba puffed out his mouth and stepped aside.

"The martial arts training ground here has been abandoned for a long time, but you can still go over there and try it."

There is a thin layer of grass growing on the martial arts training ground, green and yellow, and the footsteps are soft on it, like stepping on cotton.

A hundred paces from east to west, Wang Da took a piece of cotton cloth and washed the rod and wiped it clean, as if he were caressing his beloved lover, and then carefully filled it with gunpowder and lead. The lead was specially made, one size larger than the lead of a regular bird's gun.

Wang Da lit the fire rope tied to his waist, raised the bird gun and aimed into the distance, and then approached the lead with the fire rope, with a dull "bang" sound, a sparrow on the east wall of the martial arts training ground "plopped" and fell from the wall.

What kind of bird gun is this, it can accurately hit a target seventy or eighty paces away

Luo Qi walked quickly to the corner and picked up the dead sparrow. When the sparrow was shot in the abdomen, half of its body was blasted open, and flesh and feathers were mixed together.

Wang Da ignored the surprise of the two, carefully put away the long gun, and said, "I spent a thousand taels of silver to buy these two guns, and you two should cherish them, and start practicing from tomorrow until you reach my level."

I don't know when, the dozen or so men who were originally cleaning up the room here are gone, and it seems that there are only three of them left in the huge villa.

"You can only do activities in the martial arts training ground, your food is ready, you must not leave this mountain villa without my order" After Wang Da said this, he walked easily to the backyard, and he left the bird gun.

In the backyard of the manor, a young man in brocade clothes was sitting in a gazebo, it was Zheng Sen. He saw Wang Da coming back quietly and asked, "Xiuyue, how is it?" ”

Wang Da's real name is Zheng Xiuyue, and he is the head of the Zheng family's killer dead, who has practiced ninjutsu in Japan, and is familiar with all kinds of Western firearms, so not many people know him.

"Two rookies"

"Hmph" Zheng Sen said in a disdainful voice from his heart, "What reliable person can He Tengjiao find?"

"These days, I will try my best to teach them, these two people are martial arts practitioners, their foundations are not bad, and learning firearms will get twice the result with half the effort"

"Okay" Zheng Sen nodded slightly and promised: "After this matter, let's go to Japan to avoid the limelight first."

"Thank you, Princess"
