Chapter 59: Support
But think about it carefully, Liu Wei also said, if he does this, he can ensure that the north gate is not lost, outside the north gate is Xishan Village, he wants his people to stay at the north gate, which is also reasonable, the most important thing at this time is to bring his people to the city to assist in defense, as long as this can be done, Liu Wei also dares to say that to ensure that the north gate is not lost, then he can only grit his teeth and promise to come down first.
So he nodded and said: "Although this article is a bit difficult, but presumably our adults are also reasonable people, and we should be able to agree to Liu Yuanwai's condition!" Well, that's it! I don't know if Liu Yuanwai has any other requirements! ”
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Please leave this one to Brother Qian!" I will explain to the sent general that after entering the city, he must do what I say, otherwise he would rather bring someone back than be broken up and arranged again! This is very important, and I hope that Brother Qian must ask Lord Zhao to forgive me, as long as this is done, then Liu can guarantee that as long as the other city gates are fine, the north gate will be foolproof!
The second is that I have some bird guns purchased privately from the south by Liu, which is a bit taboo, but I hope that Lord Zhao will not be embarrassed, these bird guns were purchased by Liu with a lot of money, and they are also the foundation of Liu's foothold here, please don't forcibly confiscate them in the city, otherwise...... Brother Qian should know the consequences! ”
"Oh? That's a good thing! It is said that the bird guns produced by the Franco machine people are quite sharp, but I didn't expect Liu Yuanwai to spend a lot of money to buy these bird guns! In this case, it should be a great thing for the defense of the city! Please rest assured that Liu Yuanwai can reply on behalf of adults with these birds, and we will never ask for it! All by Liu Yuanwai's family members themselves! ”
Qian Patrol listened, although a little surprised, but very happy, if there are more Franc machine people in the city, then the city will be more certain, since these birds are purchased by Liu Wei with a lot of money, then even if other people are red-eyed, they don't dare to take it by force at this time, otherwise the rebels did not knock down the city, but the city is the first nest to rebel, then it will be a big trouble, which is more important at this time, he and Zhao Zhizhou should still see clearly, no wonder Liu Wei dared to pat his chest just now and promised, His men can guard the north gate, and it turns out that these birds are relied on!
"Third! Liu also knows that there are places to use money everywhere in the city now, and Liu will not ask for special rewards for money! But Liu has to mention one thing, that is, my family members are all piled up with money, and they usually eat well and eat enough, so they are willing to work hard, and I hope that after they enter the city, the city can provide them with enough food, at least a little meat! Otherwise, they won't have enough to eat, and these guys won't work hard! I also hope that Brother Qian can have some seaworthiness! Please try your best to meet their requirements!
As for other things, let's not talk about it, we, the gentry, help the government to defend the city, it is a matter of duty, even if we defend the city, we don't dare to ask the adults to add any additional reward, as long as we can follow the previous reward, it will be enough to do it when the time comes!
In addition, Liu also wants to say ugly things in front, my people guard the north gate, the north gate can be guaranteed, but in case other city gates are lost, then please forgive Liu to say ugly things in front, my people can't watch in the city, once other places are lost, then they must open the north gate, escape back to me! ”
After hearing this, Qian Inspector was a little disappreciative in his heart, and said in his heart that this Liu different subordinate is really arrogant, and when he goes to the city, he still has to eat well and eat well, after all, people have gone to help the government, if they can't even let them eat well, then I'm afraid they can't expect people to work hard.
As for what Liu Wei said later, although he didn't sound it in his heart, it was reasonable, they had already guaranteed that the north gate would not be lost, in case other places were broken by the rebels, then don't expect these people to fight to the death in the city, they would flee back to Xishan Village at that time, and it was estimated that no one would be able to stop them.
So after hearing about this money, he immediately agreed happily.
Although when the rebels were discovered, the rebels were only more than 30 miles away from Muping County, but these rebels were not the elite of the rebels, and they also coerced a lot of civilians to help them fight, so the rebels marched very slowly.
Along the way, the rebels also continued to send small groups of soldiers and horses, along both sides of the road, constantly attacking and looting nearby villages, plus there was ice and snow on the road, the road was difficult to walk, they dragged two more cannons, of course, not the kind of Hongyi cannon weighing two or three thousand catties, just two ordinary seven or eight hundred catties of big hair, even so, dragging these two cannons, also gave them a headache.
The rebels' cannons, though not too heavy, were not equipped with light turrets with large-diameter wheels, and these two cannons were obviously city defense guns, mainly placed on the city walls for firing, so the turrets were made of heavy wood, and the four corners were equipped with four small wheels, and marching on such terrain was a disaster.
It's not that they have to catch refugees everywhere to help in the war, just carrying two cannons on this road, it will consume a lot of manpower, dozens or even nearly 100 people before and after a cannon can slowly roll forward, and the cannon will overturn if you are not careful, the rebel generals, shouting along the way, scolding, constantly waving leather whips, slamming the people who were caught to drag the cannons for them, a little slack or lazy, the rebel soldiers will raise their knives and kill, at least dozens of people have been killed along the way.
Anyway, human life is nothing in the eyes of these rebels, and they hate the Shandong people to the core, and they don't treat these ordinary people as human beings, so they don't have any mercy when they kill these people.
In this way, they walked as slowly as a snail, and at the end of the day, they walked less than fifteen miles before resting more than ten miles west of Muping County.
This made the defenders of Muping County, who had been nervous all day, and the officials and people in the city breathe a sigh of relief, at least today, but everyone was not relaxed in their hearts, and they always felt that there was still a knife hanging above their heads, but the knife fell a little late.
This time, the sea wolf troops who went to Muping County to assist in guarding were led by an army lieutenant named Li San (guest appearance by book friend Xiao Li Feiyan), Li San was very young, just in his early twenties, and he was also a native of Shandong.
But then his father died of illness, the family lost the ability to live, and had no choice but to live by begging, and then the family died one by one, leaving Li San alone to wander around, begging days, Li San learned a lot of things to survive, and also learned to be ruthless.
But after all, he was not very old, because he was in a state of hunger for a long time, so his body was very weak, and occasionally he was bitten by a dog four years ago, and as a result, the wound on his leg suppurated, and he began to have a high fever, and he fell on the side of the road waiting to die, just when he ran into a caravan of sea wolves passing by, picked him up casually, saved his life, and took him to Tamsui City to settle down.
After Li San recovered from his injuries, he was not disabled, but left a large scar on his leg, and after receiving good care and adequate nutrition, his physical condition was greatly improved, and after literacy in the academy, he was selected into the army, and because of his outstanding appearance, he was soon promoted to a midshipman officer.
Later, Li San also participated in many battles with the army, and his appearance was quite good, he dared to fight and kill, and he was clever and had a lot of ghost ideas, and was soon promoted to a second lieutenant officer, and then he was promoted to a lieutenant officer, but this guy has some vices, sometimes he likes to beat people, and he is somewhat lustful, because he made some mistakes, and was later demoted to a second lieutenant, but he continued to act as a second lieutenant with the rank of second lieutenant.
This time he went north, because Li San was originally from Shandong and could speak Shandong, so he was selected and sent to Shidao Bay to garrison and lead an infantry company.
And most of the soldiers who went north this time were from Shandong, although they were not all from northern Shandong, and their accents were relatively chaotic, but after all, they all had Shandong accents, so they were not too suspicious.
Although these soldiers did not belong to a company before, they all received professional military training from the Seawolf Army system, and after being transferred and reorganized, they quickly merged together, and did not cause a major decline in combat effectiveness due to regrouping.
In addition, everyone is from Shandong, and there is some instinctive closeness, but after a short period of running-in, they soon formed a stronger combat effectiveness, and there is a kind of brotherhood between them, which makes their cohesion stronger than before.
This time, Liu Wei and Wu Shengtian sent people to Muping County to assist in the defense, so they sent Li San to the county seat, and Li San was responsible for leading three infantry platoons and one township brave platoon, a total of 200 people, and also assigned him a reinforced artillery squad to carry a twelve-pound mountain howitzer to the county seat to assist in the defense, not a full company.
Although sending so many elite soldiers to the county seat, and carrying so many muskets and a cannon, it was too ostentatious and arrogant, but at this time, in order not to make the soldiers of the sea wolf pay a senseless price, Liu Wei couldn't care so much.
Sure enough, when Li San appeared at the north gate of the county with more than 200 people and a small Hongyi cannon, it immediately caused an uproar.
Many people looked at this neat and tidy "village soldiers" and the "bird guns" they were carrying and the cannons they were dragging behind, and they were suddenly a little confused, they had seen such a luxurious lineup there!
Even the local official army has never had such sophisticated equipment, but the newcomer Liu Dashan actually has so many unrivaled villagers, and he doesn't know where to get so many birds, and even cannons.
