Chapter 207: Meeting (I)

Two Lang Zhong and several assistant apprentices spent three days blowing pox vaccines for more than 200 people in Zhengjiazhuang and completing the vaccination.

Zheng Haizhu did not immediately agree, but asked them to ask the lieutenant or to write a good note, stating that if there were serious symptoms after vaccination, Zheng Jiazhuang and Songjiang Langzhong would not be responsible.

The so-called "covenant is the management and implementation of the rural conventions in the Ming Dynasty, and the local magistrate who integrates legislation and justice, and has a high prestige in the countryside.

Zhengjiazhuang, an emerging immigrant village, is naturally served by Grandma Tang, who is well versed in the law and does not get angry and arrogant.

The surrounding Chongming natives can only come to inoculate the pox vaccine after pressing their handprints on the note and handing it over to Zhengjiazhuang's special appointment Zhengtang Grandma for safekeeping.

Zheng Haizhu happened to take advantage of this opportunity to visit the local young people in several large settlements in Nansha, and took special care of the Chongming people who had the intention of marrying the Liao people.

Zheng Haizhu needs to enrich his Zheng Zihao battalion team with some men such as brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, etc., and at the same time avoid forming gangs among the Liao people, and emptying himself and Wu Bangde and other management.

Among the indigenous people in Chongming, there are indeed many who want to join the camp.

Chongming is an island, and the character of the islanders is much stronger than that of the people in Su Xichang and other places, and I heard that after entering the team of this Mrs. An Yuan, as long as they train on time, there are copper coins to take, which is not much stronger than the military hoarding system of Yao Qianhu in the north.

The natives did not hesitate for long, and some of the strongest fishermen and salt workers took the initiative to join Xu Yilong's sailor army and the infantry army of the instructor of the Qi family's army.

On this day, Zheng Haizhu, who came to see the test of the artillery, asked Wu Bangde: "How many troops have been used?" ”

"Our own Zhuangzi, about 200, Chongming local, just a few days have exceeded 100. A few more boatloads of Liaomin will come later, and by this time next year, your battalion and cannons will have more than a thousand, raise money, general. ”

Zheng Haizhu pouted: "It's not too difficult to make money, the sum of seventy-seven-eighty-eight inputs can make do with it in the past two years." ”

Wu Bangde said again: "I'm still worried about that Yao Zongwen's relative in the north and suing us. ”

Zheng Haizhu still didn't show much anxiety.

She has a more God's perspective than Wu Bangde, and knows that in another three or four months, the Wanli Emperor, who has been criticized a lot by later historians, will go to see the ancestors and ancestors.

Zhu Changluo, the current crown prince and ultra-long standby for decades, has only been emperor for a month, and he will also die from taking red pills. Then sat on the dragon chair, is the same door of Liaomin Ashan, the emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao, who loves the carpenter business.

In short, Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, who was regarded as an accomplice of Zheng Guifei and involved in the Red Pill case, will soon be impeached by the Lin faction in the Middle East, and Yao Zongwen will also lose power, and his cousin who is a mixed military household on Chongming Island has nothing to fear.

What is worth worrying about is Huang Zunsu and them, if they are persecuted by the eunuchs of Wei Zhongxian, who are about to rise, is it possible for them to save Huang Zunsu and others.

A few gunshots rang out, pulling Zheng Haizhu out of his contemplation.

Combined machine guns and heavy arquebuses, respectively, fired at the carts on the simulated positions.

After the shooting stopped, Carpenter Hu trotted with Ah Shan to the front of the car to check. Wooden and iron plates of different thicknesses were fired at different distances by different firearms, and the degree of damage was also different, and there were two baffles, and even only the cowhide was broken.

"Madam, do you want to try the three-pound cannon?" A battalion soldier came over and asked.

"Try," Zheng Haizhu said, "you build a small ramp, line up those carts on the slope, and when the gunners start to load, you go and push the carts, and then run away." Let's take a look at how many times the angle of fire can be adjusted for a moving car, and how much of the impact is on each blow-up. ”

The battalion soldiers were given the order to go back and spread the word.

On the wolf-like experimental field, Ahsan motioned to Carpenter Hu to rest, and he and the battalion soldiers pushed away the damaged carts.

Wu Bangde smiled at Zheng Haizhu and said: "Ah Shan, although he loves to cry in his later life, he has a good heart and is very diligent. Carpenter Hu secretly told me that he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. ”

Zheng Haizhu said gently: "Isn't that good? You ask Ahsan for Carpenter Hu. ”

"But Ahsan seems to be offering affection to Aya, I saw him making a Trojan rocking chair yesterday, which should be for Xiaodoubao."

Zheng Haizhu sighed.

Even when Wu Bangde was an old man, he would collect intelligence first, Zheng Haizhu wondered if he was too suspicious and didn't trust Wu Bangde's prudence in recruiting Liao people.

She acted with modern women's perception of male self-esteem, and did not keep asking Wu Bangde about the details of the recruitment process, but arranged for another subordinate like Aya to keep an eye on Ashan.

At least for now, it seems that this Ahshan does not have any abnormal clues. You can't infer that just because he's smarter and scheming, he's a spy, right?

"Boom, boom......"

A louder explosion sounded, and with the help of potential energy, the group of cars that went down with the help of potential energy, like a living person, was bombarded by iron bullets and fell apart, and pieces of cowhide, iron, and wooden planks flew up and fell to the ground like tom tom.

Zheng Haizhu walked a few steps and said to the instructor of Qi Jiajun, who was also watching at the scene: "Don't say seven or eight catties of iron bullets, even if these three catties of iron bullets, the car can't be guarded." But at least for the ejection of the cannonballs is an obstacle, if the field really picks up the enemy Tartars, those armor soldiers will definitely drive the coats in front of the carts, help them open the way, block the shells and guns, so for the Tartar cart formation, but also ask General Qi and his subordinates to staff staff. ”

The two instructors nodded and said, "After we return to Zhenjiang, we will report to General Qi immediately." ”

Zheng Haizhu turned around again and instructed the two gunner apprentices who came from Sun Yuanhua in Songjiang: "When you go back, you should also talk to Master Sun and the two senior sisters about how to increase the loading speed of light guns, and how to reduce the cooling time of the casting formula, not to be the same as arquebuses, but at least you can't only play two or three rounds against the camp of the chariot and cavalry." ”

She was about to say some more details, and when she saw Ah Shan and Carpenter Hu coming over, she stopped talking.

Even if the sappers are their own people, it is not necessary for them to hear the message of operational tactics.

"Lao Hu is hard, Ah Shan is hard," Zheng Haizhu said with a smile, "I have already told Steward Wu that I will give each of you three taels of silver today." ”

When the two thanked each other again and again, they heard the iron bell ringing, and Hua Er drove the mule cart over.

When the mule cart came to a stop, a man dressed as an errand man emerged from the carriage.

"Mrs. Zheng, the second master called you Ashan's carpenter, go to the yamen."

When Ah Shan heard this, the joy of winning the reward a moment ago dissipated in an instant, and he said in horror: "Huh? I...... The little ones didn't do anything bad. ”

The messenger waved his hand: "Don't panic, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing." ”

He said respectfully to Zheng Haizhu: "Madam, when you went to the yamen on a mule cart to do business, the second master took a fancy to the craftsmanship of those family items in the car. Today, ask the master carpenter to make it easier for him. ”

……

North of Chongming County, Yaopi Port.

Yaopi Port was actually built in the Song and Yuan dynasties. In those two dynasties, there was no sea ban, and the coast of the Chinese Empire was very prosperous in trade.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the ports dotted from the northeast to the southeast were closed one after another, and most of the wharves became private ports for local magnates or armed forces.

After Yao Qianhu of Chongming occupied Beidao, the people called "Yao Pi Port" "Yao Po Pi Port".

"The two brothers, this place should be managed by Yao, even the seaport hundreds of years ago was surnamed Yao. Hehe, you say, is it providence? ”

Near the wharf of the private port, in a courtyard of the carved porch, Yao Qianhu was pushing cups and changing lamps with two men in Luo robes, while boasting proudly.

The men in the robes all have Liaodong accents, one is in his thirties with a long beard, and the other is younger with a short beard.

After Yao Qianhu took these two merchants from Liaodong this year, he recruited Yue Zhi County and Yang County Cheng of Chongming County to sell smuggling together, and each of them earned a thousand taels of silver on the first boat to test the water.

This was the second ship, and it was still loaded with sea salt, homespun cloth, and grain.

Yao Qianhu took a sip of wine and patted his chest to pack the ticket: "May and June is the season of Chongming rice planting, and Suzhou Mansion will come at some time, so I don't dare to leave the island without permission." Later, when the head is loose, I will personally go to Zhejiang and get you some good lake silk and Hangjin, which can be sold for a lot of money when it is sold to the north. ”

While he was boasting, the family said at the door: "Master, the carpenter sent by the county has arrived." ”

Yao Qianhu raised his head, looked at the thin young man beside Jia Ding drunkenly, and said in a rough voice: "Wait outside, let's talk about it after eating." ”
