"Quick, quick, quick, haven't you eaten? It's not as good as running a girl, it's just a shame on your big man's face, hurry up, let me see if you are a man with a handle. ”

Hundreds of young men were training in the open space of the stockade, and the deafening shouts kept coming out of everyone's mouths, looking like they were in full swing.

Yang An stood on the high platform and looked at the people training below, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Zhu Defei, who was standing on the side, looked at the people practicing running and standing below, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to Yang An in front of him: "Nephew Yang Xian, with these remnants of the soldiers below us, can we really take Guangzhou City?" ”

"Are you ready with everything I told you to prepare?"

"It's ready, but it's just some cotton, utensils, what the hell are you going to do?"

Yang An saw that Zhu Defei had prepared everything according to his instructions, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely give you the city of Guangzhou, and besides, I don't plan to fight now." ”

Zhu Defei's eyes flashed with confusion, and he blurted out, "Then where are you going to fight?" ”

"Here!"

Zhu Defei looked at Yang An's fingers, frowned, and his tone revealed hesitation, "Luo Ding? ”

"That's right!"

Yang An put down the self-made loudspeaker in his hand and turned to Zhu Defei, a wise gaze flashed in his eyes.

Yang An learned from the history books that Luoding Prefecture was a newly built Zhili Prefecture in Guangdong in the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, with jurisdiction over the state city of Luoding, Dong'an and Xining counties. In the second year of Yongli and the fifth year of Shunzhi, after the Qing army entered Guangdong under the leadership of Li Chengdong, Xu Anguo, the general soldier of the Southern Ming Dynasty stationed in Luoding, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

After Li Chengdong's defeat in Jiangxi, Guangzhou soon fell again, and the Ming army stationed in Luoding fled without waiting for the Qing army to come, and the city of Luoding was once again owned by the Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, Li Dingguo invaded Guangdong twice, and Luodingcheng, like other prefectures and counties in western Guangdong, continued to belong back and forth between the Ming and Qing dynasties, until it was now owned by the Qing army again. There is a green battalion stationed in the city, the number of which is hundreds, I heard that these green battalion soldiers are not soldiers from Guangdong Province, but transferred from Jiangxi, and the leader of the troops is a thousand generals, but I don't know what his surname is.

And now Dong'an and Xining were slaughtered by the Qing army a few years ago, and the county seat of Dong'an was burned down by a fire, and now it is a ruin, and no one lives at all. Xining is generally the same, and the Qing army closest to Luoding is stationed in Deqing, a hundred miles away, if something happens to Luozhou, the outside army can't support it.

Zhu Defei's face was embarrassed, "I'm afraid that the hundreds of green battalion soldiers in Luoding are also an outpost, even so, with our people, if we want to capture this Luoding City, I'm afraid it will be impossible, after all, we crooked melons and cracked dates are not Li Dingguo's elite soldiers." ”

Zhu Defei has a very clear understanding of his own strength, just because he now has hundreds of men in his hands, but he lacks weapons and armor, and he used to be peasants.

"And the most important thing is that there is no oil and water in Luoding City! Otherwise, the other anti-Qing forces around it would not have let it go there, and after several changes of hands in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it had already been fished out of the oil and water, and the others probably had the idea that they couldn't fight the fox and made a fuss. ”

Zhu Defei's analysis of Yang An's words surprised Yang An for a while, Yang An didn't expect Zhu Defei to think so much, so he couldn't help but put away a little contempt in his heart, and said softly: "I am not going to take down Luoding City to collect money and food, but to want the people in Luoding City." ”

After guessing Yang An's plan in an instant, Zhu Defei couldn't help but say with an embarrassed face: "That ....... Yang Xian's nephew, if you want to recruit troops, I'm afraid it's impossible, our stock of grain is already very small, according to your requirements, let these young people who are trained to eat, and the remaining food may only last for about ten more days." ”

Yang An's training for Luo Daquan is the regular training of the army in later generations, Luo Daquan and their gang have been on the battlefield, have seen blood, and dare to fight ruthlessly, but Yang An deeply understands that on the battlefield, the role of personal bravery is limited, so he is using the way of later generations to strengthen their discipline and coordination.

Training means an increase in food, otherwise how can everyone have the strength to receive training.

"You don't have to worry about the food, when Luo Ding is laid, there will naturally be a way to solve it."

Zhu Defei saw that Yang An didn't want to say more and didn't ask anymore, now that he was on this thief ship, he could only go straight forward.

"Then you have to fight it down first!" Zhu Defei couldn't help sighing, he now regretted that he had listened to his daughter's words and believed Yang An.

"Then it depends on what you prepare." The corners of Yang An's mouth suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

"Let them train, and we'll go make something good out of what you prepared."

Although Zhu Defei didn't understand what useful things could be made from those broken things, he took the lead and hurriedly followed after Yang An finished speaking.

The place where the things were placed was a little farther away from the training place, and after Yang An and the two came here, Zhao Wu, who was standing on the side, wiped the sweat on his head, raised his head and saluted the military salute of later generations, and said loudly: "Big boss, oh no, general, what Yang Guerrilla wants has been prepared." "This is what Yang An asked them for, and this is purely Yang An's fun.

Looking at a stove made of clods of earth in front of him, Yang An returned a military salute, then put wood into it and lit a fire. The stove was also connected with a pipe, and Yang An connected the gas into a porcelain jar.

Yang An used the soil method to heat and distill ether, which is the "crude sulfuric acid" of later generations.

Yang An then used the same method to make acetone.

Cotton is an important raw material for the manufacture of explosives, which is first processed, then nitrated, then fused into dough with ether, then cut into square slices and then added with lead powder, etc. Yang An also used castor oil plus charcoal, saltpeter powder, sulfur powder, etc. to make nitroglycerin explosives, which is the "explosive package" that shocks the enemy.

Looking at the boxy cloth bag tied like a package in front of him, Zhu Defei asked suspiciously: "That's it?" ”

Yang An smiled confidently, "Let me show you the power of this explosive pack." ”

The two walked to the training ground while talking, dispersed the training crowd, Yang An put the explosive bag next to the scarecrow used for the training machete, lit the fuse, and fled the scene like a rabbit.

With an earth-shattering explosion, like thunder, the sky was accompanied by pieces of broken iron stuck to the scarecrow, and a large pit was blown out of the spot.

"Oh my mother's goodness! If this blows up next to me, it won't poke me with a bloody hole! ”

Seeing the power of this inconspicuous explosive bag, Luo Daquan's jaw was about to fall off in surprise, his mouth was purring, and his face was full of excitement.

As long as the length of the lead is controlled, coupled with the simple manpower stone thrower I asked you to make, when the time comes, put this explosive on the stone thrower and then put it into Luoding City, it will definitely cause huge casualties to the Qing army at that time.

"I didn't expect your eunuch to have a really good head, this kind of big killing weapon can be invented."

You don't need to look at Yang An to know who the person who is speaking, except for Zhu Yusheng, who will call himself a eunuch, there is no one else here. Although Yang An has clarified that he is not a eunuch, Zhu Yushang has been calling himself like this, which makes Yang An feel a little angry.

Looking at Zhu Yushang's delicate face, Yang An was even a little angry and wanted to take off his pants in front of her, so that she could see if she was a real man, but this was just Yang An's inner thoughts, and it could only be an idea.

Good men don't fight women.

In line with the fine tradition of Chinese virtues, Yang An reciprocated with a smile that he thought was perfect, but he unexpectedly harvested a basket full of Zhu Yushang's eyes, which made Yang An's careful liver hurt.
