Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1139 Another role of the chat group

The atmosphere in the Li family compound outside Manila was unusually tense. Young people, armed with sticks and knives, came in and out in a hurry.

And in the middle of the courtyard, a group of people surrounded the table, listening to the reports of people coming in from time to time, and then issuing orders and making countermeasures.

Zhang Wu is also qualified now, so he sits on the side, but he is not the person in charge.After all, it is now in a state of being on the verge of firing. The experience he once experienced is useless at this time.

At this time, one of the principals was replaced by Niu Dazhuang who was with him, not only because he opened a martial arts gym and had a large group of apprentices under him, but also because he was from the army of the Daming Guard. Among these enlightened people, they are already the ones who know how to fight the most.

"Report, on the outskirts of the city, some Pampanga men rushed over to kill people. They were covered by Spanish muskets. More than a dozen of our companions were killed. We couldn't hold on and fled back!"

"Report, the Pampanga people stepped on a trap we dug, and three died. They found other traps and they didn't work."

"Report, the 20 members of the Zhao family haven't left yet, and haven't gone to the scheduled forest!"

"Report, the two teams of the Li family and the Wang family almost fought, and they all said that the other party ran away first!"

"Report, the Qian family and the Sun family grabbed knives and guns, the [-] that were just sent out, they have already had a fight, and two people were injured!"

"..."

The continuous complaints are like thunderbolts hitting the Li family manor one after another.Good news, hardly any, all kinds of bad news.The enemy is pressing every step of the way, and our own problems happen one after another, such as disobedience to orders, cooperation problems, and even fights over small things.

These things made Niu Dazhuang very irritable, sweating profusely, and yelling anxiously.

Li Jiacheng, who is also one of the principals, is also sweating.If the enemy's attack cannot be stopped, even if the imperial army comes, what's the use?When Niu Dazhuang roared, he also shouted again and again, expressing his views.

There was another person, White Beard, who was equally anxious when he heard the bad news, so he gave his own suggestion.

All of a sudden, the Li family compound was very noisy.And the people below, after hearing their orders, are fine under the same circumstances.But when these leaders disagreed, the bottom was dumbfounded.

For example, in the forest in the suburbs, Niu Dazhuang asked to send people to ambush again, but White Beard felt that the people should be withdrawn, and it would be impossible to defend there, which was a waste of manpower; but Li Jiacheng was concerned about which family should go to defend that forest. Opinion.

The people below don't know who to listen to.And several leaders felt that their own approach was the most correct, and it was a matter of their own lives and the safety of their families. No one would give in, so they tried to persuade others to use their own methods, but they quarreled with each other again. .

Although the bystanders don't know who among them is the most reasonable.But one thing, they all know that if the leaders continue to quarrel like this, they will definitely not be able to hold this place.Needless to say, how many days have I waited for reinforcements, maybe it will be broken by the enemy tomorrow!
Could it be that this time, with such hard work and such solidarity, they still cannot escape the fate of being massacred?For a while, some people thought this way in despair.

At this moment, suddenly, I saw Zhang Wu stand up, stretch out his hand and slam the table, making a loud "pop", which shocked everyone, and they all shut up and looked at him.

Zhang Wu endured the pain in his hands, and shouted with a serious face: "Stop making noise, and do things according to my orders!"

"..." Everyone was speechless or stunned when they heard this.

You are a barber, what do you know about war?You've lived your entire life by handicrafts, and you don't have any intelligence, and you've earned tens of thousands of dollars. Why do you say that everyone should listen to you?
Even the short apprentice standing beside Zhang Wu looked at the master in surprise. He couldn't imagine how the master would say such a thing.Seeing that everyone was staring at the master and apprentice, he felt a little ashamed, his face flushed, he quickly avoided other people's eyes, pulled the master's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Master, don't talk nonsense. .”

However, Zhang Wu ignored him at all. Instead, he took advantage of the quiet moment and said loudly to the leaders: "The emperor decreed that the general army of the Beijing camp, that is, Yongwu Bo, will command us to resist the Spanish from a distance. .There are also experienced military craftsmen who direct us to make defensive equipment..."

When he said this, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, is that okay?

In their opinion, Zhang Wu must have gone crazy!
However, Zhang Wu seemed to know what they were thinking, and immediately said loudly: "How do you think the domestic affairs I mentioned before, and the news that the imperial court has sent reinforcements?"

What he said before, because of Liang Xiaozhen's testimony and some rumors, they all believed it.At this time, when he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.Among them, Niu Dazhuang asked suspiciously: "Didn't you hear that those Spaniards came to your shop for a haircut?"

The others listened, and quite a few nodded, at least they all thought so.

However, Zhang Wu immediately shook his head and said loudly: "Of course not, the emperor bestowed on me the ability to see clairvoyance and listen to the wind. Believe it or not, this is the truth!"

"..." Everyone heard it and was shocked again, did such a thing really happen?Is it possible?

Zhang Wu did not give them a chance to question, and continued to say loudly: "Don't hesitate any longer, everyone, listen to my arrangement. First, immediately call all carpenters, masons...etc. craftsmen to make some defensive equipment, including Crossbows, javelins..."

"Secondly, immediately form groups of all the young and strong to resist in rotation. Those without weapons can use sharpened bamboo poles. All sticks should also be sharpened and used as long spears. Every group of five people, just stab..."

"Third, if the courtyard wall can't stop the cannon, immediately dig the soil and pile it up from the corner. It is best to have a sack. If there is no sack, make a filling pile similar to a sack. If it is not possible, just put the soil on the pile. also……"

"Fourth, the Spanish muskets can be blocked by making chariots. Attention everyone, the arquebus is not terrible, and it has many shortcomings..."

In this Li family compound, only Zhang Wu was heard talking endlessly there.The others looked at Zhang Wu blankly, as if they had never known Zhang Wu before.

After all, in their impression, Zhang Wu is just a barber. It's not surprising that he can talk so much about how to get a haircut.But what they say now, including defensive equipment, knowledge of battle formations, knowledge of firearms, etc., are all like treasures, they come as soon as they open their mouths, and they sound very powerful, which has surpassed their cognition!
Zhang Wu read it out one by one according to what Cao Bianjiao and the craftsmen of the military battle bureau said in the chat group.

After a while, he took a closer look, only to realize that everyone around him was looking at him stupidly, like a clay bodhisattva.Even the other side of the door was already full of people, just like the people in the yard, all looking at him stupidly without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Wu couldn't help becoming anxious, and shouted loudly: "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you move quickly? Don't you have to wait until the enemy comes in, and then it will be too late to act!"

After hearing his shout, someone finally came back to his senses. Among them, Niu Dazhuang pointed at him, and asked eagerly, "Brother Zhang, you...you...are you really capable of hearing the wind and clairvoyance?"

Although Li Jiacheng also came back to his senses, he still looked shocked, pointing to Zhang Wu and asked: "Is it true that Uncle Yong Yong, the chief of the Beijing camp, is possessed?"

Although the others didn't speak, they all stared at Zhang Wu, wanting to hear, how would he answer?

Zhang Wu looked at them, nodded vigorously and said: "I can't tell you clearly, you just need to remember that the emperor is concerned about us, and sent Uncle Yongwu and several masters of the Beijing Division to teach everyone how to resist those soldiers through me. Spaniards, hold on until the imperial reinforcements arrive. For the rest, wait until we survive, anyway, when is this, I won’t lie to everyone!”

However, this fact was too shocking, and it was difficult for these people in the yard to accept it for a while.

The courtyard continued to be silent, but someone at the gate of the courtyard suddenly shouted excitedly: "I just came from Fujian, I know, I've heard that Dongchang Fanguan and Jinyiwei both have the ability to see clairvoyance and listen to the wind, Uncle Zhang, are you from Dongchang or Jinyiwei?"

When Zhang Wuyi heard this, he thought to himself that I would like to become a fan servant or a captain of Jinyiwei, but I don't have this blessing yet!

He was about to shake his head and deny it, but then he came back to his senses. If he denied it, would they be disappointed?If he admits it himself, this is pretending to be an official, or the emperor's pro-army. This crime is serious!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wu hesitated a little.But fortunately, Niu Dazhuang, who was born in Xiaoqi of the Weisuo, is the most sensitive to the war, so he came to his senses first, and immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhang is right, let's not be dazed, let's listen to Brother Zhang first!" , If there is anything else, stick to it until the imperial reinforcements arrive and we are safe."

The current situation is really not optimistic.Li Jiacheng also came back to his senses, and quickly echoed: "Niu Xiaoqi is right, everyone, don't be stunned, just do as Brother Zhang says, get over the difficulties in front of us first!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze, go and tell those craftsmen what Lao Zhang said!" White Beard also hurriedly shouted to the crowd at the door. He used his crutches to drive people away.

With the echo of their leaders, all of them moved immediately.But it was still messy, messy.

Zhang Wu was stunned for a while, then immediately spoke again, arranging things very methodically.

At this moment, in the Li family compound, there is only Zhang Wu, the barber, and one person is the protagonist.Whatever he said, the others quickly followed suit.

Outside the Li family's compound, the young and strong who had passed on the news ran excitedly, and at the same time spread what they saw.

When the messenger arrived at the place, he hurriedly ordered, and urged: "Yes, just do it, hurry up!"

"Wait, who gave this order, did our patriarch agree?" Someone didn't move, but raised an objection.

When the messenger heard the order, he yelled confidently: "What kind of patriarch is not the patriarch? Now they are all the imperial court's Beijing camp chief army. Uncle Yongwu is in command, hurry up and do it!"

"What Uncle Yongwu?" Some people felt puzzled.

After hearing the order, the messenger immediately replied proudly: "Uncle Yongwu didn't even know? Did the Jianlu in the north of the Ming Dynasty know? That was killed by Uncle Yongwu! Now Uncle Yongwu is possessing Uncle Zhang..."

Although the explanation wasted a lot of time, and even caused many people to not believe it, they ran back to the Li family compound to look at it, but in the end, after many people's explanations, everyone believed it.

This time, it's amazing.This is a miracle!
God bless Daming, the emperor has such a miraculous ability!
God bless the Ming people of Lusong, so that such a miraculous thing happened!

It didn't take long, and as the news spread to ten, ten to hundreds, the morale of the Lusong Ming people was literally rising.In the end, even the Ming leaders of several other manors rushed to the Li family compound one after another. After hearing the unheard of countermeasures introduced, they were ecstatic and immediately followed the measures here.

For the Ming people in Lu Song, an interesting scene suddenly appeared.This asymmetrical battle has not really started yet, but whether it is the young and strong at the front of the resistance, or the young and old hiding behind, all have confidence in this battle.They believed that they would be able to persist until the arrival of imperial reinforcements.

However, Coquera, the Spanish governor of Luzon, did not know all this, and he was still mobilizing before the war.Of course, in his eyes, this is not a pre-war mobilization, they are just going to slaughter a group of pigs and sheep.

I heard him say to the leaders of various clans standing below: "Ming people in Luzon must be wiped out, regardless of age. But, one thing, you must remember that [-]% of the property you get must be handed over!"

"Your Excellency, the Ming people are prepared to fight this time. What if our tribe suffers too many casualties?" Aphalos from Pampanga asked with a little confidence.

At this time, it was a rare good opportunity in decades. Even if he was afraid of Governor Coquera, he finally mustered up the courage to try to fight for his own interests.

When Coquila heard this, when he glanced at him, he found that the leaders of other ethnic groups seemed to want to speak, so he immediately lowered his face and shouted: "The Ming people are just a bunch of scattered sand, a group of mobs, who have not been trained at all. , what fighting power can you have? If you suffer heavy casualties, you will lose [-]% of your money!"

When the others heard this, they immediately shut up, thinking to themselves: Your Excellency the Governor knows everything, it seems that there is no room for bargaining.Forget it, just like the last time, killing a wise person is like slaughtering a cow and sheep. It's an easy job, and it's okay to divide it into [-]%!
