Chapter 130: Musket Deterrence
readx;? Yang Jing's fuel on the fire really made Luo Jin lose his mind, and he took out a straight knife and rushed towards Yang Jing's side, raising the knife to slash at Yang Jing's shoulder!
The old man deer in the Miao village is also in a cold sweat, the Miao people are already ready to go, as long as the old man deer gives an order, he will rush out of the village gate and kill these Yuezhou soldiers to the death!
At the critical moment, Lu Baiyu grabbed her father's hand and shook her head vigorously at him, at this moment of life and death, she chose to believe Yang Jing!
Yang Jing is most worried about this, if the people in Miao Village take the initiative to attack, then his plan will be completely frustrated!
Seeing Luo Jin swinging his knife, Yang Jing didn't hear the door open, so he was relieved, suddenly raised his cane, twisted the tail of his cane hard, and a wisp of light smoke suddenly came out!
"Bang!"
A loud bang was like spring thunder in a long winter, exploding in everyone's ears, and white smoke rose up, enveloping Yang Jing's figure, rendering Yang Jing like an immortal in the clouds!
"It's a musket!" Whether it is Luo Jin or the soldiers of the Yuezhou army, they are not strangers to muskets, although they are not equipped with muskets, but they also know a little about muskets, and they know better the advantages and disadvantages of muskets.

If there was a distance of dozens of steps, even if Yang Jing had a musket, they would not be afraid for half a minute, but now Luo Jin had already rushed to the front of Yang Jing!
As soon as the musket rang out, Luo Jin stopped abruptly, and then jumped to the side quickly, rolling out more than a foot on his side, covered with dust and mud, and embarrassed to the extreme!
In their understanding, the musket is actually a assault rifle, an old-fashioned arquebus that needs to be lit in the line of fire, filled with black powder, which is extremely susceptible to moisture and not very powerful.
But Yang Jing clearly has a modified flintlock pistol in his hand, and he doesn't need to ignite the fire rope at all, but ignites the gunpowder by hitting the flint to produce sparks, which can achieve an instantaneous effect!
Generally speaking, muskets belong to preloading, that is, gunpowder is packed in a small bag, the amount of gunpowder is fixed, and before use, it is loaded from the muzzle into the breech, and then the gunpowder is solidified with an iron bar, and then the projectile is put in, which is extremely time-consuming, and there is only one round.
If Yang Jing was holding an old-fashioned arquebus in his hand, Luo Jin didn't need to be afraid at all, because Yang Jing used this gun to warn, so it would be impossible to reload it in a short time, let alone fire a second shot.
But all kinds of signs show that Yang Jing's is not a traditional old-fashioned arquebus at all, but a modified flintlock pistol, and the ghost knows if he has a second shot!
For the sake of safety, Luo Jin could only dodge to the side and make a fuss!
After Yang Jing's gunshot, the soldiers of the Yuezhou army were really shocked, although they were outnumbered, but Luo Jin was only a few steps away from Yang Jing, judging from the power of Yang Jing's musket, within this distance, if Yang Jing had a second shot, he would inevitably smash Luo Jin's head!
Not only the soldiers of the Yuezhou army, but also the Miao warriors in the Miao village were also completely stunned, as Yang Jing expected, this earth-shattering shot really calmed down the people on both sides!
The soldiers of the Yuezhou army even instinctively retreated a distance, which made Luo Jin even more isolated!
Luo Jin got up from the ground, held the straight knife tightly, stared at Yang Jing with his eyes, and then scolded viciously: "You dare to attack the imperial court officials!"
Yang Jing touched the muzzle of the cane, blew the smoke rising from the muzzle, and then sneered at Luo Jin: "Why? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? Only you are allowed to wave the butcher's knife at me, and Yang is not allowed to use the musket to protect himself?"
Although Yang Jing had an indifferent smile on his face, his words were like sharp blades, scraping off Luo Jin's face layer by layer, throwing it on the ground, and trampling it fiercely!
Luo Jin raised the knife again, Yang Jing was also not to be outdone, aimed the muzzle of the cane at Luo Jin, and then his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, as if he had seen through the cowardice in Luo Jin's heart, and said with a facial expression: "Come on, let's see if Yang can shoot a second shot!"
Where can Luo Jin be sure that Yang Jing will have a second shot, but at this time, he is also difficult to ride a tiger, if he retreats, he will lose face, and Yang Jing occupies Li'er, it is almost impossible to storm Miao Village.
But if you go forward, I'm afraid that if you haven't taken Yang Jing yet, you will be blown up by Yang Jing's musket, because Yang Jing has already warned about a shot!
And looking at Yang Jing's momentum, if he didn't prepare for the second shot, if he didn't have the confidence, how could he dare to be so unscrupulous!
Luo Jin, who was in an embarrassing situation, turned white and red, and was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed, but the Yuezhou army behind him was also shocked by Yang Jing's gunfire and momentum, and no one could react for a while.
If a sergeant came forward at this time and pretended to dissuade Luo Jin, even if Luo Jin was given a step, he would just get off the donkey.
But these sergeants were stunned, and when they reacted and stepped forward to protect Luo Jin and block Luo Jin behind them, Luo Jin had already put down the straight knife in his hand.
This is equivalent to him bowing to Yang Jing, a little pusher!
What a humiliation!
As I said before, the Southern Song Dynasty paid great attention to the development of weapons and equipment and equipment, and firearms were one of them, although they were not key projects, but they were all secrets of the military.
Luo Jin can serve as the deputy commander of the Yuezhou Army, and he is a dignified official from the fifth grade, if he is afraid that he will not be able to rely on the background alone, after all, he still has some brains and wisdom.
If he hadn't been carried away by humiliation at this time, he would have thought about this question a long time ago, Yang Jing is not a soldier, just a local official, and local armed forces need to be controlled by the imperial court, and Yang Jing's private storage and use of firearms is also a violation of the law!
Because of Yang Jing's trouble, Luo Jin's Yuezhou army was also in chaos, falling into a long period of silence, and had already lost a lot in momentum!
The people of Miao Village saw that the Yuezhou army was frightened back by Yang Jing's gunshot, and the main generals were rolling on the ground in embarrassment, and immediately broke out into cheers from the mountains and tsunamis, as if they had already won!
These victorious cheers were like steel needles piercing Luo Jin's eardrums directly, and he finally remembered this question!
"Okay, you Yang Jing! You are clearly just a county magistrate, you dare to secretly hide prohibited firearms, and you are not afraid of being accused of being killed!"
The people of the Yuezhou army were already ashamed because they didn't have time to give Luo Jin a step, but now that they saw that Luo Jin had launched an attack again, they immediately echoed it.
However, Yang Jing just smiled faintly, put the cane on his shoulder, glanced at Luo Jin and said: "Even if the illegal firearms are privately hidden, it is also the official's own business, and the boss blames it, and the official carries it himself, so what does it have to do with Commander Luo?"
Yang Jing's words were clearly a steal of what Luo Jin Shicai said to him, he really attacked his shield with his spear, so angry that Luo Jin's face turned red, and he blocked his chest in one breath, not up or down, and his face was black!
"Hahahaha!" The Miao village suddenly burst into laughter, although the deer head is a mature seedling, but there are still many people in the village who don't know the official language, but the old man Lu has the heart to boost morale, and almost simultaneously translates the dialogue between Yang Jing and Luo Jin to the Miao people, and the Miao people are also extremely relieved!
Luo Jin was so angry with Yang Jing that he was smoking, and now Yang Jing was in front of Miao Village, and he couldn't pull or fight, and the scene was tense and confrontational, turning into an embarrassing quiet.
Yang Jing said to Luo Jin at this time: "Commander Luo, Yang has a lot of words, you are also the deputy commander of the Yuezhou Army, after the death of Commander Zhao Gaoyi, the huge Yuezhou Army is afraid that it will all be entrusted to you, now is the best time for you to rectify military discipline, if you do ugly things that harass the place and spread it to the court, I am afraid that the position of the Yuezhou commander will have to be done by another person."
Although Yang Jing used the tone of putting forward opinions, he hit Luo Jin's weakness at once, the reason why he dared to bring the soldiers to take revenge was because the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, as a local military town, no one dared to offend them, let alone stab the news to the court!
Otherwise, he would not have used this way to unite the soldiers and gather these soldiers around him so that he could take over the Yuezhou army in the future.
But he didn't expect to kill a Yang Jing who didn't know what to do halfway, unless he killed Yang Jing on the spot, otherwise Yang Jing would be unable to hide this matter after he went back!
The Song Dynasty was a strange dynasty, whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, it was particularly preferential to officials, but Song Lizong was put on the throne as a commoner, and he was held in charge of the government for more than ten years, and he was a puppet for so long before he regained the treasure, so he was particularly cautious about rebellion and riots.
If he really let the officials know what he did, no matter whether anyone believes in Yang Jing's twists and turns, the officials will no longer be at ease to appoint him Luo Jin!
Yang Jing saw that Luo Jin's expression was becoming more and more ugly, and knew that he had poked at his weakness, and his tone became softened, and he suggested to Luo Jin.
"Commander Luo, now that Commander Zhao Gaoyi has just died, the Yuezhou Army still needs Commander Luo to support the overall situation, Commander Luo might as well bring the brothers back first, after all, this is a case that happened in the territory of Baling, if Commander Luo can trust me, Yang will definitely find out the truth and give Commander Luo an explanation!"
Luo Jin knew that this was Yang Jing giving him a step, if he didn't agree, and he didn't take advantage of it, it would become a deliberate riot, and he really let Yang Jing stab him, but as Yang Jing said, the official function of the Yuezhou command could not let him take over.
But if he accepts Yang Jing's suggestion, comes to encircle and suppress with great fanfare, but goes back in disgrace, he will successfully take over the official position of commander, what prestige does he have in front of the soldiers of the Yuezhou army, and how to establish authority in the future?
Seeing that Luo Jin was silent, the old man and the Miao people also suppressed the tension and excitement in their hearts, no matter what, Yang Jing was alone in front of Miao Zhai today, and he had already won their respect, even if he tore his face, the big deal was just desperate!
However, at this time, the ranks of the Yuezhou army suddenly parted ways, and more than a dozen samurai wearing tight black leather armor rushed in, and came straight to the front, with a person in the middle, it was Luo Jiaoping, the governor of the Hubei Criminal Division!
"Yang Tui, your tone is also a little bigger, this case has been taken over by the Criminal Division, this official is going to enter the village to search now, if you find that the dragon beard barbarian is really hidden inside, and say that these Miao Barbarians, it is Yang Tui, I am afraid that I can't get rid of it, I don't know where Yang Tuiyi got so much confidence, and he wants to clean up the scene for Luo Jin's command!"
Yang Jing didn't expect Luo Jiaoping to appear here, just looking at the eye contact between Luo Jin and Luo Jiaoping, Yang Jing had already determined that even if the two were not related, their personal relationship was definitely very good!
Luo Jiaoping had been deflated by Yang Jing as early as when he was in Baling Yamen, and now is not a good opportunity for him to take revenge!
However, in the face of the menacing Luo Jiaoping, Yang Jing just smiled, if he didn't have some confidence, how could Yang Jing slap his swollen face and become fat to give Miao people a strong head, he was not even afraid of Luo Jin, what if Luo Jiaoping came, what if he moved out of Hubei Criminal Division!
