The autumn is a cool day, suitable for traveling on behalf of the heavens to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, the special train taken by Lord Liu is in the capital south station for the preparation of the trip, adding coal and water, workers checking machinery, the railway traffic in the south of the Yangtze River is far more reachable, than the canal on the boat, it is much faster, so the court officials usually choose the railway, Liu Ziguang, an official of this level can already hang a special train, his special car is the former Qishuyan Machinery Factory for nine thousand years old, not much used, basically or a new carriage, the decoration is luxurious, the materials are fine, shock absorption and noise reduction are also very good, the ride is more comfortable than the official ship。

Liu Ziguang's attaché is a reinforced company of the Red Shirt Regiment, and there are also a number of Nanchang Fanzi, although the number is not much, but the equipment is very well-equipped, one is definitely no problem, and Lord Qincha also has the right to mobilize local soldiers and horses, security issues, do not need to consider the accompanying in addition to the guard troops, there are Liu Xiaocat and Han Xue'er, Han Xue'er has become a very high-status girl ring in the town Wubo Mansion in a short period of time, she is not only smart and clever, but also empathetic, knowledgeable, hard-working, sincere and kind, no matter what work you do, you can always do better than others, and never compete with others, others have difficulties, she always silently helps, many of Liu's maids are brought from Shandong, so Han Xueer is very good at eating, and in just ten days, she was upgraded to become a big girl, specializing in serving her uncle.

Before leaving, Liu Ziguang went into the palace to talk with the emperor for an hour, and arranged the security work of the palace, and then took a yellow silk package back to the mansion, and the luggage was already ready, and the uncle went on the road as soon as he came back.

A group of people got on the train from the south station to say goodbye to the crowd, the train pulled the whistle and slowly drove out of the station to the south, listening to the rhythmic sound of the wheels and rails, looking at the countryside and trees that flashed outside, Liu Xiaomei jumped up and down excitedly, climbed outside along the window without paying attention, and squatted on the train for a ride.

Liu Ziguang didn't care, she sat on the soft sand, looking at the scenery outside, pondering this long journey, reminded him of the first trip from the iron factory to the capital by boat, it was that trip that opened a new chapter in his life, after a period of struggle, there was finally a little improvement, from a mercenary leader with hundreds of remnants of soldiers to a court official, the life of the brothers is also guaranteed, marriage, childbirth, promotion of official wealth, he is still very satisfied with all this.

The amount of money, armies, The power has been greatly improved than before, the so-called greater ability, the greater the responsibility, the current goal is achieved, the greater goal is in front of us, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet been eliminated, the land has not been recovered, and even the territory of the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful, just a conversation with the emperor let him know that this time the Jiangnan is difficult, the Jiangnan Hao clan is intertwined, the relationship chain formed for hundreds of years, the chain of interests is difficult to break, those local officials are the umbrella of the Hao family, counting on their support is also wishful thinking, even the previous nine thousand years old so good characters have to compromise with the Hao family, not to mention his freshly baked Zhen Wubo, the road ahead is slow, Liu Ziguang stood up with great ambition, walked to the car window, and looked at the endless golden fields outsideWild, this is the color of the harvest, can you get a good harvest like this field?

"Sir, your cigarettes and tea are ready. Han Xue'er's timid voice came from behind, this girl is usually very generous and decent in front of others, but in front of the uncle, she can't let go of her charming face, the combination of her charming face and shy and timid expression is definitely very lethal for ordinary men, but this elm pimple Zhen Wubo basically rarely looks at Han Xue'er, it is no wonder that Liu Ziguang is surrounded by a pair of sisters, the Peng family is like a flower, the eldest princess is often seen as beautiful as the moon palace fairy, even the family's pet Liu kitten is like a delicate lotus, after a long time, there is some aesthetic fatigue, no matter how good the beauty looks at it, plus Liu Ziguang's taste is more uniqueI like a charming woman too much, in contemporary terms, she belongs to Lori Control, not a character controlled by the royal sister, so she has not been involved in Han Xueer, the big girl.

On the coffee table next to the sand, there is a cigar, a box of pine matches, a cup of fragrant tea and a copy of the Beijing Morning Post, the cigar is placed in a warm and moisturizing box, the match is also lit cigar, the tea and water are all of the highest grade, although Han Xueer was born poor, but her memory is very clear, and her hands and feet are neat, since she replaced the original Yahuan, the housekeeper rarely worries about this side of things.

Liu Ziguang lit a cigar while smoking while reading the newspaper, today's morning newspaper has no interesting content, all the congratulatory messages of the high school, a congratulatory message, charge one or two lines of silver, this business is really creative, no one knows that the boss behind the morning newspaper is Zhen Wubo himself, in just a month, the Beijing Morning Post has been popular, Nanjing, not only dignitaries, like to watch peddlers, pawns, but also like to go to the teahouse to listen to people read the newspaper, this newspaper not only has the notice of the imperial court, the yamen cloth, and some quite gossip in the nature of the family, short or something, very suitable for the needs of people of all walks of life in the capital, it is said that the rich people in Suzhou and Hangzhou like to subscribe, even if the newspaper is delivered by train for a few days at night, they are still happy to do it。

Liu Ziguang's original intention of running the newspaper was to use it as a public opinion tool to attack his opponents, but he didn't expect that the very talented editors of the newspaper were stunned to come up with a lot of strange tricks to make the morning newspaper such a popular trendy thing, it seems that there are still a lot of talents in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the newspaper, the train suddenly slowed down, and the screeching sound of emergency braking sounded, and then from the trees on both sides of the railway, countless figures rushed out, feathered arrows pierced the outside of the carriage with a piercing whistling roar, like a torrential rain, a few arrows shot in from the open windows, pierced into the furniture, the tail of the arrow was still trembling, and the arrow was tied next to the arson, so it quickly ignited the fabric in the carriage.

Not far from the capital, he encountered an ambush, Liu Ziguang was really annoyed, and he shouted loudly to Han Xue'er, who was screaming in fright: "Quickly extinguish the fire." Then he pulled out two rifles under his armpit and jumped out of the carriage.

The carriage of the guard company is located at both ends of the special carriage of the uncle, the soldiers are veterans of the battlefield for a long time, at this time there is no panic at all, they have shot out from the window of the carriage, more than ten muskets with bell mouths stretched out, and released a large puff of sparks, and then handed the gun to the comrades behind to recharge, and at the same time took another live musket to shoot, and then changed the gun and fired again, this three-stage shot is more suitable for the operation in a small space, the musket is shotgun, each shot can cover a large area, when the loading projectile and gunpowder are preloaded, so the reload is very fast, the gunpowder weapon is much simpler than the bow and crossbow, the shooting is much simpler than the bow and crossbow, the aiming is relatively simple, and more importantly, the power is huge, more than a dozenThe Pole Musket has five times the vitality coverage of a bow and arrow, and the penetration power of a bow and arrow is far greater than that of an arrow fired by physical force.

This kind of single flint musket is the latest product of the iron factory, originally wanted to make a rotating company, but the air tightness of that is too poor, the infantry single weapon needs a long range and high power, so it can only sacrifice the company's ability, made into a single walnut butt, brass receiver, steel barrel and bayonet glitter, this weapon is even Ouchi guards are only equipped with a small part, and the infantry battalion of the Red Shirt Regiment has almost one shot.

The Assassins who rushed out of the woods were obviously determined to die, and there were four or five hundred of them, and they rushed forward frantically, and their companions were beaten into blood gourds, and they didn't pay any attention to the people who rushed in front of them, all of them were wearing iron pots as shields, which were obviously specially made of steel, with good thickness and could actually block the attacks of shotguns, but their preparations were still not sufficient, because the Red Shirts not only had muskets, but also more powerful and more powerful bazookas.

The disposable bazooka of the bamboo tube and iron hoop is now an obsolete product, replacing it with a copper tube for many times, the bazooka can be equipped with a variety of ammunition, and the musketeers have been loaded when they shoot frantically, and the bazooka has been loaded to deal with the infantry's sub-munitions, and the bazooka is not suitable for use in a small space, so the doors on both sides of the carriage are opened, and a bazooka hand jumps out and pulls the trigger, and the bazooka spits fire at both ends, dozens of iron bullets rush into the crowd with a blazing temperature, and instantly put down a large piece.

However, the ambush site was really well chosen, the groves on both sides were very strong from the railway, and the distance between them and the railroad was almost intolerable, and the soldiers of the Red Shirt Regiment had finished beating the three rounds of muskets, and the enemy pounced, all of them were dressed in the cloth clothes of ordinary people, carrying steel knives in their hands, their eyes were red, and they didn't know what to shout, and they climbed up the train frantically.

Some of the soldiers of the Red Shirt Regiment continued to shoot out of the window, and some went out with steel knives to fight against the enemy, they were all right-handed knives, left-handed short guns, and when they were facing the enemy, they first fired a head-on shot, and then greeted with knives, and the short guns were the same as Liu Ziguang's four friends chasing souls, the power of the four companies was not good, but the melee combat was still very powerful, this kind of half-hot and half-cold weapons mixed combat mode was very unexpected by the enemy, in just a few minutes, more than half of the enemy was thrown down, on both sides of the subway road, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the sound of muskets was shot, the sound of knives and guns was mixed together, and the sound of roars and screams was endless。

The Assassins were quite strong in combat, but unfortunately, their opponents were obviously stronger, not only were their weapons and equipment advanced, but they were also only strong in their fighting will and skills, and even if they didn't rely on muskets to fight cold weapons, I am afraid they would not be able to bargain for anything.

Liu Ziguang quickly ran out of eight bullets from two pistols, grabbed a long knife, and slashed at the enemy group, and the soldiers of the guard company were even more powerful with him leading by example, and in no time, all four hundred assassins were lying on both sides of the railway.

"Interrogate them well, who sent them, and there are so many armed bandits near Gyeonggi, I really don't know how these officials are managed." Liu Ziguang threw the blood-soaked knife and explained to the Nanchang fanzi in his entourage.

On the hill in the distance, two young men withdrew the Qianli mirror in their hands, and their faces were painful.

"Master Suo, it seems that Liu Ziguang's strength of this dog thief is really more powerful than rumored, and our four hundred brothers can't hurt him in the slightest, I said a long time ago that it is better to outwit your lord, you just don't believe it." One of them said.

"Needless to say, I will ask the emperor for guilt, but before that, I am still Zhang Jing of the Jiangnan Division of the Military Aircraft Department, and before the emperor's order to investigate me comes, I will definitely take the life of this thief." The young man known as Master Suo turned pale, withdrew the clairvoyant mirror, and turned to leave.

The rest of the man looked at the messy battlefield in the distance, sighed, shook his head, and turned away, the autumn wind blew the square scarf on his head, and he quickly straightened his hat, but at that moment it was already revealing his iron-shaved scalp inside.
