Chapter 376: The Coming Rainstorm
Luzhou.
"Oh? I originally thought that Wang Zhongchen would be able to send back some information at best, but I didn't expect to win over such a person?" Cheng Feng looked at Zhang Ling, the chief of staff, who was in front of him, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Ling put down the work in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Oh? Then Wang Zhongchen, isn't it the spy you sent to the Daimyo's Mansion? Didn't he get any news?"
"The news is only secondary, but according to the information he sent, it seems that a monk named Jinglian has appeared in the daimyo's mansion. This monk claimed to be a member of the White Lotus Sect, and he had always done good deeds and accumulated virtues in the Daimyo's mansion, but he had accumulated a lot of prestige. It's just that as a monk, he asked us for a thousand guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, what kind of reason do you say?
When Zhang Ling heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "In this way, isn't this so-called Pure Lotus planning to rebel?"
"That's how it should be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked us for arms. Cheng Feng replied: "And acting through religion, the lord has not done it before." His tricks are not unusual. ”
At that time, before Xiao Feng rebelled, he also relied on his medical skills to often go deep into the homes of poor people to treat the injuries of those patients, and use this to accumulate power.
Otherwise, how could Xiao Feng gather an army of thousands in a short period of time and capture Luzhou so quickly?
Zhang Ling asked, "In that case, what are you going to do?"
"Exactly. Regardless of whether we stay still or wait for the opportunity, a chaotic daimyo's mansion is much better than a stable daimyo's mansion, isn't it?" Cheng Feng replied: "And there is just a batch of obsolete arms in the army, and he is worried about how to deal with them, so it is better to give these arms to him." ”
"I see. ”
Zhang Ling replied, immediately left this place, and began to screen out the eliminated munitions, and then transported them to Na Jinglian.
As for how Jinglian will use this batch of arms, that is his business, not something he needs to worry about.
Cheng Feng said again: "But apart from these, we can't just do it and watch, maybe we can also exert a little pressure from the outside, how about it?"
"What are you going to do about pressure?"
Zhang Ling's expression was slightly stunned, and when he saw Cheng Feng's eager look, he hurriedly warned: "It's just that you don't have to forget, the task given to us by the lord is to defend against the enemy's attack, and we can't easily provoke a war, understand? ”
The war against the Song Dynasty was too costly, and even if the arsenal in Chang'an tried its best, it was difficult to meet its requirements for materials. If there is a war on their side, it is simply impossible to imagine the consequences of returning, and if it directly leads to financial collapse, it will be bad.
Cheng Feng smiled: "Don't worry, I still know this." It's just that it's a little boring to keep Erlang in the city all the time, so I want them to go out and try how powerful it is. ”
"Okay. It's just that you have to remember that you must not really fight the other party, understand?" Zhang Ling warned.
Of course, the main reason is that the Yuan army is now ready to move and has plans to attack, so Zhang Ling also feels that he should take the initiative to attack, if he can teach those soldiers a lesson and let them know the strength of the Huaxia army, it will also be a good thing.
............
Wu'an.
As usual, the Tiger rode on his horse, patrolling the entire realm.
Unlike Naboyan and Arakhan, he was just an ordinary hundred-hundred And after he came here, he also used his identity to encircle thousands of acres of land, transform it into pasture, and graze here, producing hundreds of war horses every year, and he also organized a small cavalry by this.
Although the cavalry was small in number, only about 30 men, and the weapons used were the most primitive pistols instead of the latest breech guns, they were still enough to deter one side and make the local people dare not resist.
Because of this, the magistrates and officials of Wu'an all respected him, lest they would anger him somewhere.
Here, the Tiger is almost an emperor-like existence.
And now, he is patrolling the boundaries of Wu'an, to see if there are any other places suitable for conversion into pastures.
"Didn't I say that you should move out in three days, why haven't you left until now?"
Sitting high on the war horse, the stabbing tiger scolded the Han people who were kneeling on the ground.
Hermes-Epitek shuddered, and hurriedly defended: "My lord. We've lived here for hundreds of years, and if we just moved away, we don't know how we're going to live. You have a lot of them, can you spare us?"
"Humph!"
The stabbing tiger was annoyed, raised his whip and waved, and scolded in his mouth: "I don't listen to my orders, aren't you looking for death?"
After a few blows, the person who spoke was also beaten to death, and the rest of the people felt the same way, and they all shrank their heads and looked frightened.
Following behind the stabbing tiger, the chief catcher of Wu'an also had relatives in his face, and hurriedly walked out and scolded everyone: "I said you, are they just some fields? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? You dare to talk back to adults, I think you are also tired of life, and while you are still alive, why don't you move away quickly? Don't you really wait until you are killed before you stop?"
The cavalrymen raised their guns in unison and pointed them at the crowd.
At the point of this gun, everyone was terrified, but when they thought that they were going to give up the land, they were still a little unwilling after all, and they raised their heads and scolded: "But you are the land of our ancestors for generations, how can you just snatch it away like this?"
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the man's brain and blood splattered together, and the red and white fell to the ground, which was particularly vivid, and the whole scene fell into an atmosphere of almost dead silence.
Seeing this scene, not to mention those villagers, even the chief catcher also trembled and was frightened.
"My lord, who are you?" asked the chief catcher when he walked out and lowered his voice, for fear of offending the other party.
The stabbing tiger scolded impatiently: "There are so many words in the house, it's better to die." With a fierce look in his eyes, he also glared at the chief catcher, which made the chief catcher's heart tremble, so he had to retract his head.
With such a ferocious appearance as the stabbing tiger, if he confronted it, it would be no different from begging for death.
The head catcher sighed slightly, and under the coercion of the stabbing tiger, he had to turn around and say to the villagers: "I said you guys, you better hand over the land quickly, or you will really die here." ”
"It's-"
Everyone suddenly fell into hesitation, on the one hand, it was the land where their ancestors had survived, and on the other hand, it was their own land, which made them feel entangled and couldn't help how they should choose.
"If you don't want to leave, let's die. ”
The stabbing tiger was also not interested, and immediately asked his cavalry to raise their guns and aim at these villagers in front of them, and they were about to pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The sudden sound of gunfire broke all this.
The villager was only puzzled, after all, there were no gunshot wounds on his body, but among the cavalry, several of them withered to the ground, revealing a small hole in their bodies, from which blood dripped and moistened the grass.
"What's going on?"
The stabbing tiger was only surprised, after all, he hadn't given the order yet, how could there be a gunshot, and then he raised his head, but saw that from the mountains in the distance, hundreds of people rushed together, "bang ......", a series of gunshots rang out, and the cavalry around him did not react, and a few more died.
"It's the Huaxia Army!"
Seeing this scene, the stabbing tiger only felt that the soul of the dead was in danger, and remembered the soldiers he had encountered, so he immediately urged the war horse under his crotch, and left from this place as soon as he slipped away.
According to the experience of the past, if you escape at this time, there is still a possibility of survival, and if you continue to stay here, you will only be completely swallowed by the other party.
The cavalry around him was a little dazed, and he still didn't understand the situation, after all, these cavalry had not experienced war, and they had no experience in how to deal with the cavalry impact, so they could only passively raise their guns to deal with it, but they didn't last long, and they were taken away by a wave of cavalry that swept like a wave.
"Really, is it really the Huaxia Army?"
The head catcher was also frightened, although he wanted to escape, but how could his feet be as good as four legs, he could only be quietly surrounded by the cavalry, and he did nothing.
"Sit back and watch as the Tartars punish the wicked, slaughter innocent people, and take the man back to trial. ”
An order was given, and before the head catcher could be excused, he had already been tied up by several people, and then the group disappeared in place, but dozens of guns and some bullets were left behind, which made those villagers wonder.
"What the hell is this Huaxia Army doing, why did you suddenly come here?"
Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they were naturally overjoyed when they saw those guns that were given away, and hurriedly accepted these guns, so that if the city was quick to catch and the Tartars dared to punish the evil, they could also use these weapons to fight against those guys, and they would not have to be slaughtered like today.
Just like this, it didn't just happen in Wu'an, but also in Cizhou, Xiangzhou, and Heping.
It's all the same sudden appearance, and then the village bullies who are oppressing the poor people are exterminated, and some guns and bullets will be given to the local people, so that they can also have some strength to resist the government and the Tartars.
As for their identity, everyone also has different opinions.
The villagers in the countryside were naturally overjoyed, thinking that the Huaxia army was planning to take action and completely wipe out the Tartars.
However, for the government and people such as the Mongols and Semu, they were panicked, thinking that the Huaxia army was planning to send troops and preparing to attack the Daimyo's mansion, which made them even more frightened, and they could only continue to squeeze the people's strength so that they could fight against the Huaxia army.
