0302, the thief returns

It's weird when a fixed program suddenly changes.

After Xiong Chu summed up the "three groups of nine combo fighting techniques", the task of training troops temporarily fell to him.

The military advisors who inevitably appear on time every day have disappeared for nine consecutive days.

This is not a trivial matter for Xiong Jiajun, who is just starting out.

The military advisor Wan Lian is missing, and the ghost knife thirty-six is also missing.

According to the order of the military advisor Wan Lian, the thirty-sixth ghost knife was divided into thirty people to recruit troops in three places, and everyone knows it.

Now all the recruits have returned, and more than 500 recruits have been put into training.

But the thirty-six ghost knives were gone, and when they found that the military division was missing, they were not in the Chinese military tent.

At the beginning, everyone's attention was focused on the training ground, and no one paid attention to the Chinese military tent.

It's not that they don't pay attention, but because the training ground is the Great Ancient City, which is where Helengen was ambushed for the first time.

This place is very secluded, and it is connected to the grassland, it is very wide, and it is a good place to train soldiers.

A good place for military training, more than 20 miles away from the military tent in the barracks.

Xiong Chu rushed over to take over the training task, and the military advisor Wan Lian returned to the Chinese military tent, which is also very normal.

However, on this day, it was Huo Lianshan's turn to take people back to transport grain and grass, but he did not find the military division.

I asked everyone to no avail, and finally got everyone's attention.

After inquiring about all the people in the military account, Huo Lianshan learned that the military advisor had been missing for nine days, and immediately reported to Xiong Chu.

No matter how suspicious Xiong Chu and them were, no matter how inscrutable they were, Wan Lian was in no mood to ask now.

It's not that he is not in the mood to ask, but Wan Lian is very nervous now.

Wan Lian, who usually seems to be confident about everything, is suddenly very nervous, and has been nervous for nine days, which is definitely not a good phenomenon.

In fact, sometimes a person is very nervous, and it does not necessarily mean that something bad has happened, but it may be a good thing.

It is common for the wife to give birth and the husband to sweat profusely outside the door.

But when a cry comes, it's a great joy, and who's to say it's not?

Woo Woo Woo - Woo Woo Woo -

A dense burst of gunfire came, and the beads of sweat on Wan Lian's forehead finally came down: "Bai Ming, how is the situation?"

"Qi Qi Military Division: The thirty-three shots of the thirty-six bird guns were fired for the first time, and the remaining three strokes were fired for the second time. ”

"That's good, that's good, you can finally substitute with the main bus!"

Wan Lian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, applauded in his mouth, and rushed out like a fly.

The rooster and dog thief are also great heroes in history.

Tian Wen, the prime minister of Qi State, once felt very much: "The pearl is not as good as the mud pill; ”

The rooster and dog thief are also big heroes now.

Zhou Laosi not only raises horses, but also steals horses. So he was able to be a slave to others as well as a horse thief.

Qiao Rushan was originally the master of Qiao's family village in Tiantai Mountain, and among the more than 300 people under him, there were even more thieves with chickens and dogs.

When Shentou Town was reorganized, Wan Lian gave Zhou Laosi and Li Qing a task, that is, to pick out all the "gentlemen on the beams" in Qiaojiazhai.

As a result, forty-six people were later singled out, plus Zhou Laosi and Li Qing were forty-eight people, that is, the team of the Silver Fox Battalion.

These people are all gentlemen on the beam who can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and come and go. Elegant and colloquial is a thief.

Before Xiong Chu went out of the customs, it was Zhou Laosi and the forty-eight people who explored the way in front, so they didn't encounter any trouble when they got out of the customs.

It was also Zhou Laosi who discovered the strange actions of Heligen's army in advance, so they were finally able to take targeted measures. As a result, he was ambushed by the military advisor Wan Lian in a five-stage ambush, and he almost won without a fight.

Since then, Zhou Laosi's Silver Fox Camp has disappeared without a trace.

Xiong Chu was dizzy by the succession of things, and as a result, the two newly recruited apprentices had not seen anyone for more than 30 days, and he did not react.

Zhou Laosi and his forty-seven brothers, of course, did not disappear for no reason, but carried out a special order.

Wan Lian was hiding from the government outside, and when he traveled around to study, he stayed in Beijing for a year.

At that time, the idea was to assassinate the emperor and avenge his parents.

But the emperor always works as a carpenter in the backyard of the palace, and never goes out of the palace, so Wan Lian can only give up.

However, during this period, it happened to encounter a big flood in the Qinghe River and the Yongding River, and even the Jingshi was almost submerged for a while.

Natural disasters are not necessarily a bad thing, at least not for Wan Lian, but a great thing.

Because Wan Lian went out to check the water situation on the way, he actually met a person.

Bi Maokang, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli (1598) Jinshi, the Chinese scholar gave the imperial history.

When the imperial history is to catch other people's pigtails, and then give the emperor a fold to impeach corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Jingshi was almost submerged by the flood, which was a big deal, so Bi Maokang Yushi went out to inspect in the rain.

Wan Lian traveled to study, and of course he was more attentive to strange people and things, including this eccentric imperial historian Bi Maokang.

Bi Maokang is the imperial history, but what he did better than him as the imperial history happened to be "not doing the right thing".

Since he was born as a Jinshi, he belongs to the people in the civil official group.

The first thing that people in the civilian clique think of is to seize military power.

Bi Maokang had no idea of charging into battle, so he delved into the construction of firearms.

For 200 years, the Great Ming Fire Gun (Bird Gun, Kidnapper Gun) has been launched with a fire rope.

When fighting, the bird has to carry a fire rope one or two zhang long, which is inconvenient, and is afraid of moisture and moisture, and the fire rate is not high.

The main purpose of Bi Maokang's "non-business" is to completely change the strict disadvantages of this kind of fire rope.

As the imperial history, it is necessary to be ready to impeach others at any time, of course, it is impossible to get some gray income, and no one sends the handle of their bribery to the imperial history.

So Bi Maokang is very poor, and sometimes it is difficult to sustain three meals.

The ragged clothes and the four walls of his house are the best portrayal of him.

Although there were many ideas for transforming the bird's gun, the carpenter emperor only looked at the finished product and did not ask about the idea.

Bi Maokang didn't have any money, so many of his ideas could only be on drawings, and could not be turned into finished products in the eyes of the carpenter emperor.

A sudden flood caused two strange people to meet.

Wan Lian learned that the person in front of him was Bi Maokang Yushi, who specialized in "not doing business", and he was happy in his heart.

He has extensive knowledge and research in firearms.

Wan Lian already had an idea in his heart, so he naturally did what he liked, and talked about all kinds of ordnance and equipment, as well as things about marching and arranging formations.

The ancients have passed: the white head is as new, and the cover is as old as the old.

It is no surprise that these two people of course can talk about each other, and they directly become close friends.

If you become a close friend, of course, you should find a place to have two drinks to celebrate.

Knowing that Bi Maokang was shy, Wan Lian hurriedly became generous, and of course the two of them were drunk.

In the process of "chatting", Wan Lian was "very sad" that Bi Maokang did not have silver as a sample, so he sponsored a thousand taels of silver, so that he could be loyal to the emperor and contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

This matter has passed like this, and it has been three years in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Wan Liantong guò Zhang Ying's relationship made a Jingde Mountain Villa in Shentou Town, and privately trained six hundred silver-armored iron guards.

In fact, the firearms used by Wan Lian's six hundred silver-armored iron guards were all samples developed by Bi Maokang, and then privately found someone to imitate them, so their performance was more powerful than that of the guys in the hands of the imperial court officials and soldiers.

The appearance of Prince Xiong, especially the identity of the descendant of Emperor Jianwen, gave Wan Lian a huge impulse.

Be sure to make good use of your "good friends" and get your hands on the latest "flint mechanism" developed by Bi Maokang!

"Suifa Organ" is still a secret that was slowly tricked out by Wan Lian after Bi Maokang was drunk last time.

Now that three years have passed, Wan Lian feels that Bi Maokang's "flint mechanism" should be almost able to take shape.

Because of this, Wan Lian privately explained to Zhou Laosi: "After the lord leaves the customs, your Silver Fox Battalion will immediately enter Beijing, find Bi Maokang Yushijia according to the road map I drawn, and bring back all his drawings and samples." This matter is very important, please be careful!"

Zhou Laosi led a group of chicken and dog thieves under his command to live up to expectations, and spent twenty days walking around the capital and came back.

The Chicken Dog Thieves have returned, but they can't enter the Huluhai Barracks, because there are a lot of people coming and going in that place, and no one can guarantee that the news will not leak.

Biguan is Wan Lian's hometown, and a group of his childhood friends are now grown up, and they are also deeply sympathetic to Wan Lian's misfortune.

With a lot of good friends to cover, Wan Lian used Xiong Chu's almost countless silver tickets to gather more than 100 senior craftsmen in the side pass to "privately make guns".

It can't be called manufacturing at all, it's just an improvement of the ignition device.

In fact, it is not difficult to make bird guns, and our ancestors knew it more than a thousand years ago.

The difficulty was machining the springs, as the latest design required a high-pressure spring for each bird.

The second difficulty is to grind the flint into small pieces of the same size, and a large amount of flint is required.

Zhou Laosi and the others took the things back to the side pass and handed them over to a person designated by Wan Lian, and then disappeared again.

This time, all the roosters and dog thieves were dispatched, and they were scattered.

There is only one purpose: to buy back all the flint that can be found in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and steal it back if you can't buy it.

At least 3,000 catties of flint are needed, and if the land of Sanjin is not good, it will radiate out in the direction of Jingshi and Luoyang. If you can buy it, you can sell it, if you can steal it, if you can't steal it, you can rob his mother.

A group of rogue thieves under the rogue military advisor also lived up to expectations this time and completed the military order on time.

The rooster and dog thieves completed the military order, and the rogue military advisor Wan Lian naturally disappeared.

In fact, he didn't go missing, but he secretly returned to his hometown.

The whole family was exterminated, and Wan Lian came back for the first time, and it was the first time to incense those unjust souls.

Because Wan Lian knows that after the next step out, no one knows whether he will be able to come back alive in the future.

The second thing to be done is to check whether the privately made "flintlock" can be successful.

Now, it has been three consecutive days of "gun inspection", which should actually be called a gun inspection.

The 300 flintlock bird guns that have been processed have all been tested, and the firing rate is more than 90%.

This is an unprecedentedly high firing rate.

Because the original arquebus fire rate is less than 50%, that is to say, when firing in battle, less than half of the bird guns can be fired the first time.

"Bai Ming, Fourth, our time is very tight, and now we will give you two tasks: first, three hundred flintlock bird guns are not enough, at least double them. Second, hurry up and secretly contact these craftsmen, and those who are not afraid of death and are willing to go with us will pay a thousand taels of silver at a time for the settlement fee. ”

After Wan Lian explained clearly, he took a group of newcomers recruited from his hometown and escorted 300 new guns back to the Hulu Navy Battalion.

The reason why he left in such a hurry was that he had two more important things to do.

First, buy enough gunpowder on the black market, and second, find and take away people who can make gunpowder.

Wan Lian believes that as a military advisor, he must be comprehensive in order to be worthy of the order of killing the rivers and lakes in his arms.

Because of this, he disappeared for twelve days at once. I734
