Chapter 114: Back to Beijing 4

Looking at the back of Fan Yuxuan leaving, Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally go to see Luo Er.

So he said: "You then discuss how to sweep the goods, remember, our purpose this time is to speculate on the house price, explain to the shopkeeper of the tooth shop, if someone comes to sell the house, persuade him to raise the price, and then you buy it again, at any cost, and then buy a few more tooth stores, starting from the chessboard street, the most expensive streets one by one concentrated fire swept over, first arranged, and when the money arrives, I want to double the house price overnight, understand?" ”

Everyone gasped, and there were people who bought things like this, persuading buyers to sell them to themselves at a higher price!

Although they were a little confused, Yang Xin's words have always been the golden rule, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they began to discuss how to find out the housing situation in each street, how to allocate manpower, and so on.

Yang Xin left satisfied, and took Heizi to the inn to see Luo Er.

It's not far away, it's on the same street, the name of the inn is Daxing Inn, and the shopkeeper is a shareholder, and when he saw Yang Xin, he hurriedly took him to Luo Er's room.

Luo Er was a little excited when he saw Yang Xin coming in, Yang Xin didn't greet him, and asked straight to the point: "Second Brother Luo, how are you doing now?" ”

Luo Er sighed and said, "Hey...... The situation was very bad, I thought I would die in the city that day, but I happened to meet General Li and his wife breaking through from the east gate, and they called them to go out of the city at night, who knew that they were still discovered by the Qing army and sent a large army to chase and kill.

In order to cover our escape, the marshal led 500 men to break off, and was captured by Qinggou, and Mrs. Li fled to Wuguan with more than 1,000 remnants of our army to join the army of King Chuang.

Now the war in Wuguan is unfavorable, the Qing army firearms are powerful, King Chuang decided to give up Wuguan and retreat to Tongguan, and give the whole of Shanxi to the Qing army, Mrs. Li felt that this time the army withdrew, I don't know how long it will take to come back, so I decided to take someone back to the capital, save General Li and then go, General Li was captured that day to save me, I naturally had to come back to save him, so I took the initiative to come back with Mrs. Li. ”

Yang Xin wondered in his heart, in history, it was not always boasted that the Qing army relied on cold weapons to win the heat! Weapons? Now that the Qing army is good at becoming a firearm, this has to be investigated, and the province will suffer a loss next time.

So he said: "You go and call the red lady, I want to ask about the specific battle situation in Wuguan." ”

Luo Er hurriedly went.

After a while, the red lady came in, looked at Yang Xin, and suddenly became angry, and scolded: "You are the one hundred households who escaped from the West Gate with tens of thousands of people?" And the face to meet me! ”

Yang Xin smiled and said, "I didn't take them to run, they ran by themselves, I just ran along!" ”

The red lady chirped: "Phew! That's also Dashun's deserter, and you're still laughing! ”

Yang Xin was a little speechless for a while, he was most afraid of this kind of person who would reason from the perspective of righteousness as soon as he came, such as Shi Kefa, he really didn't even have a reason to refute.

So he said: "There is no point in talking about this now, I just had no food to eat at that time so I had to defect to the Dashun army, just those wooden sticks you sent, I couldn't fight at all, but the Dashun army was also kind to me, so this time you were able to enter the city smoothly, in fact, I secretly helped." ”

The red lady also knew that Li Yan deliberately let them go that day, and if she grabbed this side and didn't let go, it would be a bit too much, so she said: "Okay, then thank you, what are you looking for me for?" ”

Yang Xin saw that she was still very wary of herself, so she could only say cheekily: "I want to ask, when your Dashun army fought against the Qing army in Wuguan, what firearms did the Qing army use?" ”

The red lady looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "I have a good preparation, the next time I meet the Qing army, I will consider how to fight them, and I have some bottom in my heart." ”

The red lady scolded again: "I'm bah! Are you qualified to fight the Qing army? ”

Yang Xin was about to cry, this woman had a bad temper, so she had to be cheeky and continued: "Don't worry about this, I have gathered 30,000 troops in Denglai, and I may soon fight against the Qing army, so I want to ask." ”

Yang Xin didn't want her to despise herself anymore, so she showed some of her bottom.

Luo Er and the Red Lady were stunned, they felt incredible, it was only a few months, and this person actually claimed to have gathered an army of 30,000!

The red lady said: "You won't be bragging, are you, are you gathering some homeless people?" ”

Yang Xin sneered and said: "Hehe, homeless, it's definitely not the kind of rabble you Dashun Beida Camp, just the 50,000 people in your Beida Camp, I only need 3,000 troops to win the battle!" ”

The red lady finally stopped despising Yang Xin, thought for a while, and said: "They have a particularly powerful elite army, seven or eight thousand musketeers, and a dense phalanx, protected by spearmen and shields on all sides, this formation is like an iron bucket, our army does not dare to fight hard with this army at all, no matter which direction the formation is rushed, it will be defeated by pieces of muskets, fortunately, this army is not fast, King Chuang has been avoiding them to attack other military formations, we have barely supported it for so long." ”

Yang Xin was stunned and said, "Could it be that you are talking about the musket phalanx that the West is accustomed to?" ”

This time, it was the turn of the red lady who didn't understand, and asked, "What?" Do you know where this formation came from? ”

Yang Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Your weapons are too backward, it is impossible to win in such a phalanx, you have to bombard with powerful cannons first, and then use the same musket array to defeat!" ”

The red lady looked helpless and said, "King Chuang said the same thing, but we don't have so many muskets!" ”

Yang Xin nodded, and said with a smile: "How about their cannons?" ”

The red lady said: "It's about the same as us, fortunately, King Chuang transported the red-coated cannons in the capital to Wuguan in advance, their red-coated cannons are not as many as ours, but they have made a lot of general cannons, although the power is not as big as the red-coated cannons, but the number is more, and the two sides are tied." ”

Yang Xin probably has the bottom in his heart, the Qing army has really strengthened, he actually knows the musket phalanx, and he has made so many muskets, seven or eight thousand guns in the Western Expeditionary Army, so what about the Southern Expeditionary Army?

It is estimated that it is about the same, that is, the Qing army already has about 15,000 guns.

And he currently only has 6,000 in his hand, and the speed of building muskets in the Qing army does not seem to be fast, and Fan Yuxuan only got 1,000 guns for himself in a month.

It seems that he still can't play against the main force of the Qing army, and the problem of fighting the biased division is not too big, and it is estimated that the losses will be very heavy.

The red lady looked at him for a long time and was silent, and said, "Hehe, are you afraid?" ”

Yang Xin said with a bitter face: "Yes, I can't win such a main force at the moment!" ”

He didn't pretend anymore, and told the truth.

The red lady said: "Is there anything else?" It's okay, I'm leaving! ”

Yang Xin shook his head, this woman was really anxious, and said, "Do you have any plans for coming to the capital to save people this time?" ”

The red lady said blankly: "Where is the plan, we don't know any people in the Qing court, we can only take one step at a time!" ”

Yang Xin knew that this was also the result, and said: "Okay, don't be in a hurry first, I'll meet Dolgon tomorrow and help you find out the wind first." ”
