Chapter 84: The Tiger (12)
It was under the setting sun, he looked at the thirty-six people in front of him, including twenty-four students of Thunder Academy led by Li Yuncong, and twelve strong men who were brought by Wen Fatzi to those Dongchang masters in the Wang Zhen period and later went to the army as hard detectives, this is all the members of Ding Yi who are going to take them to carry out this special operation.
The twenty-four people led by Li Yuncong were not wearing armor, and four of them, such as Ding Yi, hung a revolver that the Xing'an eunuch thought was Tie Ruyi on his waist and on the side of his legs, and two fifty-round cartridge belts were wrapped around his waist; Twelve men carried steel-barreled rifles, but only four of them were spiral-rifled; The other eight were armed with ordinary front-loading black powder rifles, and all carried four grenades loaded with yellow*color*gunpowder*.
This is a very undesirable ammunition allocation, as the ammunition of all three groups is not common to each other. But there is no way, this is all the most sophisticated belongings that Ding Yi has been able to use in actual combat for such a long time - among them, the eight revolvers and five hundred rounds of ammunition will be much cheaper than Ding Yi's first revolver, about the sum of about 50,000 taels of silver, the primitive smelting workshop, wood machine tools and handicrafts have caused a high scrap rate, making the cost of these firearms extremely high.
A gun was built, and the live ammunition was tested to explode, and it turned out that the original steel was not up to par and could not withstand the force of the ammunition explosion. As for rifling, it is no problem to process the barrel used for black powder, but the steel barrel can only be processed by hand. Well, as a result, the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is close to that of a smoothbore gun, and it is even more needless to mention.
Hundreds of years of industrial processes. It's not that easy to cross.
And the twelve people on Wen Fatzi's side are all equipped with crossbows, a large number of grenades, long knives, and armor, it seems that Wen Fatzi and them are much more majestic than Li Yuncong and other teenagers.
"Let's go." Ding Yi calmly gave the order, one man and three horses. began to run beyond the gate of Zhaoqing Mansion City that was about to be closed.
There's no need to talk big or ask if anyone wants to quit. Everyone knows that this operation is nine deaths, and these thirty-six people are except for Wen Fatzi, who is a poor egg. They all wrote blood letters to ask for war. They followed Ding Yi, dressed in glow, and rushed to the gradually darkening heaven and earth, without hesitation.
When Hu Shan and Ding Junyue took more than 3,000 Ding Zhuang who had been recruited or abducted. There are also more than 200 teenagers adopted by Hu Shan in the two years when he was an ambassador in the Yamen Guangdong Branch of the Security Bureau. When they returned to Zhaoqing Mansion, it was already the fifth day that Ding Yi and the others had left Zhaoqing Mansion.
After listening to Wu Quanyi's report, Hu Shan slapped Wu Quanyi on the head, slapped Wu Quanyi to the ground, and then he pulled Wu Quanyi's hair and pulled the latter's bloody face from the corner of his mouth to himself: "Do you know what you did?" How can you let Mr. go! Into your motherfuck! Lao Tzu's whole family was killed by you! As he spoke, he struck Wu Quanyi's neck with his elbows and smashed him to death.
Hu Shan got up and roared at Ding Junyue: "What kind of bird rules are you standing here!" Gather all your hands! Head west to pick up Mr. Ying at once! That's right! Send someone to report to Du Zhanzhi and them. Tell the news, hurry up! "He's messed up. It was precisely because he stayed in Guangdong for these years, and because he was the ambassador of the security yamen, that he knew how capable the soldiers of Hou Dagou were in battle.
You must know that Lu Dao broke through Wuzhou City, and Hou Dagou only used 700 people! He felt that as soon as Ding went, he would be more auspicious than lucky, or in other words, it would definitely be over! As soon as Ding is finished, he Hushan will definitely not end well, and in Temasek's family, his wife is young, and he is definitely dead.
All he could do was to think about saving Ding Yi at any cost, or to die with Ding, in the hope that Temasek would watch him follow Ding Yi and serve his little wife and children. Other than that, he couldn't think of any other way to save himself and his family.
Ding Junyue's performance still relieved Hu Shan, she ran out and shouted: "The guards are assembled!" ”
It's just that what happened next was beyond Hu Shan's expectations, after the guards gathered, many gun barrels pierced the curtain paper, and then when Hu Shan was about to rush out of the door, the carved and hollow main door and the two side doors of the room were pushed open, and the three rows of fire guns that were half-squatting, bowing, and standing upright, each row of seven guns for a total of twenty-one guns, were aimed at him outside the threshold.
"Put your hands on the table, slow down, you should know that I won't miss in forty steps, you can't be faster than a running rabbit." In the middle of the third row of firecrackers, there was Ding Junyue, who held the steel spiral-rifled barrel of the rifling pistol, the nose of the machine was wide open, and as soon as the trigger was pulled, the firing pin would hit the copper primer.
"You're fucking crazy!" Hu Shanji pointed at Ding Junyue and scolded angrily.
And Ding Junyue didn't show any excitement: "No, you're crazy." The plan has been arranged when the gentleman departs, and all we have to do is to act according to the plan, and not take the opportunity to change it. Again, put your hands on the table and move slowly, or I will immediately kill you on the spot by plotting against the enemy, plotting rebellion, and killing the teacher! ”
Hu Shan sighed, he knew that Ding Junyue had really done it.
She and the students of the guards, like Chen San, worship Ding Yi to the level of superstition, and they seem to think that Ding Yi can do anything. They didn't know what a terrible opponent Hou Dagou was! They simply ignored the fact that there were so many guards in Guangxi, and the main army plus the surplus army, even if there was a shortage of empty food and blood to drink, but it was also a regular army with tens of thousands of people, plus the surplus army that was no less than this, as well as the recruitment of soldiers under the chief military officer, there was no way to take Hou Dagou at all, and he was beaten to the ground, so that almost the entire territory of Guangxi fell.
What can a team of thirty-six do? Once you meet Hou Dagou's soldiers, how can you retreat with your whole body? You must know that this is Guangxi, not outside the pass to flee with the speed of horses, here are all mountain roads, cavalry that has lost its speed, in the face of the army under Hou Dagou, where is the chance of victory?
But he still put his hands on the table and slumped into his chair. He had no choice, because Ding Junyue inadvertently hit his weakness, and the charge of plotting to kill the teacher was publicized, and his family was definitely finished, this is not only a matter of life and death for himself, not to mention twenty-one firearms, even if there is only the gun in Ding Junyue's hand, at such a distance, Hu Shan also knows that he has no luck.
When the sergeants of the guard came and tied him up, Hu Shan did not resist and let them throw him into the firewood room.
"If the gentleman can't come back, you fucking wait to go back and beg for food!" Hu Shan just laughed miserably and cursed at Ding Junyue.
And it was not Ding Junyue who answered him, but a rifle butt given to him by an angry Thunder Academy student on the side: "Dog thief, Mr. An dare to curse!" If it weren't for Ding Junyue blocking it, it is likely that Hu Shan would have been killed by these students of the guards, as Hu Shan knew: they had an almost superstitious attachment to Ding Yi.
After Ding Junyue locked Hu Shan in the firewood room, he began to arrange it in the Guangxi Military Governor's Office.
"Spring twisting cannon, Ming Fury, how much can it be produced in a day now?" Ding Junyue asked Li Jiangtou, who was summoned.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Li Jiangtou is not too afraid of Ding Yi, even if he is not crazy, he is not necessarily afraid in his heart, but he is afraid of Ding Junyue and the students of Thunder Academy. Maybe it's because Ding didn't feel that craftsmen were a lowly profession from the bottom of his heart, and these students who grew up in this era knew that craftsmen were lowly from the time they were sensible.
So when Ding Junyue asked, Li Jiangtou didn't dare to be sloppy at all: "The spring has not yet been set up in the smelting workshop, and it can't be rectified, but there is stock, after the defense of the Beijing Division, Mr. taught me to make some spare inventory, forty or fifty, the stove was not set up, only a blacksmith stove was used to beat those accessories by hand, and I could get four in a day; The anger of the Ming Dynasty really can't be made, there is no stone grease! ”
"How many arquebuses can you produce in a day?"
"Back to Mr. Xiao's words, that can't be built, the smelting workshop hasn't been built, there is really no way to make these, but Mr. asked Xiao to get some arquebuses before, which was intended for the grenadier canister, and now the grenadier canister hasn't been made yet, there are hundreds of stocks here, and Mr. Xiao sees if it's suitable or not......" Li Jiangtou became more and more humble the more he spoke.
Ding Junyue quickly cut off his words and said to him directly: "You go to the dock now, I brought back some boats from Nanhaiwei, which were captured by Uncle Shi when he beat Huang Xiaoyang, you choose some suitable ones, and install one or two spring twist guns on the ship, each twisted cannon has five arquebus grenades...... and arranged for each twisted gun to take a squad of the guards, and taught Li Jiangtou to choose ships according to the standard, "At least four large ships with two twisted guns and ten small boats with one twisted gun...... According to the surface of the Xijiang River, there must be so many boats to protect the water wheel......"
He instructed Wu Quanyi, who was twisting his face, "There are some students who are not good at water, don't arrange to be on duty on the boat...... Send out the sentry ship, find the rebel sailor coming, and the fourteen ships equipped with twisting guns will go to meet the battle, the battle line that Mr. said, do you remember? That's it, the fourteen boats and other sentry boats on the water are under your command, first practice the flags, and hurry up to the dock with Li Jiangtou! ”
Then she arranged for the 100 guards to send out 40 cavalry to patrol all over the land, Ding Junyue does not necessarily have her talent in marksmanship for military strategy, she is just as Hu Shan saw through, superstitious to Ding Yi, she is convinced that what Ding Yi arranged, as long as it is done correctly, it must be right.
In fact, if Ding Yi died, she would protect the water wheel well, and guard the military affairs of the governor of Guangxi no matter how well she would leak......
As Hu Shan worried: What's the point?
As soon as Ding died, everything vanished. (To be continued......)
