Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 282 The Surprise Brought by the Space Blacksmith Shop
Although Mao Wenlong had dozens of adoptive sons, the ones he valued the most were the three vassal princes of the later Qing Dynasty:

Shang Kexi (now named Mao Kexi), Kong Youde (now named Mao Youde), Geng Zhongming (now named Mao Zhongming).

Among the three, the former is good at naval warfare, and the two are good at foot combat, but Geng Zhongming is the only one who dabbles in both.

After Mao Wenlong died, the three of them struggled to hold on to Phi Island for several years. After the Chenqiao Mutiny, they took refuge in Houjin successively and became the third of the four major culprits in the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in this time and space, with their own arrival, whether these three people have a chance to seek refuge with Houjin is another matter.

According to historical records, these three people are not complete traitors and traitors, they are different from the real traitor Wu Sangui.

In their hands, they all had a blood feud with Hou Jin, and there were not a few Hou Jin soldiers who died in the hands of the three.

The ones who forced them to seek refuge in Houjin also took refuge in Houjin because they had no food and wages and were forced to seek refuge by the imperial court.

In Liu Meng's view, as long as he can support the three of them with enough food and salary, the three of them can be completely independent from the court.

Maybe, there is still a chance to subdue these three people, and it may not be possible to become his right-hand man.

Of course, this has to be ensured that these soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Liaodong refugees have no worries about food and clothing, backed by strong force, and a few upright battles. opportunity to conquer them.

Liu Meng can not think about these things for the time being.

The most important thing at present is to solve the urgent problem of food and payment.

At the end of July, the grain in the Little Ice Age could no longer be cultivated. Fortunately, there were countless grains, vegetables, and meat in my own space as a base, so I was not afraid.

At present, the only thing to be solved is money, and the only thing that can be done is to dry salt by the sea.

With the existence of salt, you can also go to the inland to buy food, cloth and other materials in order to survive the winter of this year.

It's not that Liu Meng never thought about leading troops out to rob those wealthy gentry, but it's not the time yet.

At this sensitive time, it is not suitable to openly stand on the opposite side of the imperial court.

After that, it is to create weapons and armor through the space smithy, it is best to be able to create advanced firearms.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng's heart moved, and his consciousness entered the space, looking at the things that the blacksmith shop can make now.

It doesn't matter, Liu Meng was so happy that he almost let out a pig cry, why?
Because, Liu Meng saw that among the weapons that could be forged in the space, a weapon that had been rampant for an era unexpectedly appeared, the Mini rifle.

This rifle can be said to be the originator of rifled rifles in later generations.

This kind of rifle, because of the rifling in the barrel and the rear loading, and the most important thing is the appearance of the cylindrical miniature bullet.

It completely changed the shortcomings of the slow shooting speed of firecrackers and flintlocks, and became a magic weapon for the French army to win in one fell swoop.

The Minie rifle has a fast rate of fire, a maximum shooting distance of 918 meters, and an effective hit distance of 550 meters. Even a post-gold and white armored soldier wearing three layers of armor can penetrate the armor within 200 meters and kill the enemy.

In addition, Zhao Meng can use alloy steel to build powerful artillery, homemade grenades, and the existence of explosive kits, making him more confident in fighting against the so-called invincible post-gold cavalry and heavy armored infantry.

The only thing restricting Liu Meng is a large amount of metal ore, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal.

These problems are not big problems. As long as the salt farm is opened, within a year, the entire Dongjiang Town can get rid of the constraints of the imperial court and become self-sufficient.

While Liu Meng was thinking about these things, a few ships that could not be called warships approached on the distant sea.

Seeing this scene, Liu Meng subconsciously took out the binoculars from the space and looked at the distant sea ship.

I saw three generals with fairly complete armor standing on the bow of the sea-going ship.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar faces of the three, Liu Meng guessed that these three were Mao Kexi, Mao Youde, and Mao Zhongming.

Familiar because Liu Meng has systematically instilled in his memory the memories of the three people; unfamiliar because it is the first time Liu Meng has seen the appearance of these three people.

Knowing that these three people came, Liu Meng also guessed the purpose of the three people coming.

It's nothing more than wanting to subdue himself and become the subordinate of one of the three.

Who said that his size is a thousand households?In my memory, I was the general who survived the battle of Saarhu!
The fierce fighting power can be said to be the best of the three armies. Otherwise, how could Liu Meng, who is not the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, lead a thousand soldiers to guard Shicheng Island?

Thinking of this, Liu Meng also understood why he was related to the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Because, myself, Shen Lian, and Lu Wenzhao were all survivors of the Battle of Saerhu.

The difference between myself and the two is that instead of returning to the capital and joining Jinyiwei, I took refuge in Mao Wenlong, who started an army with two hundred soldiers.

After waiting for almost an hour, the sea-going ship docked at the pier as a temporary dock.

The three of Mao Kexi and their ten personal guards got off the boat and walked towards Liu Meng.

Liu Meng didn't go forward to meet them, simply because his status and the three of them were actually on the same level, and they were all officials of Qianhu.

The three of them walked into Liu Meng with heavy faces, and Mao Youde, who was always impulsive, said first:

"Liu Qianhu, the commander-in-chief was killed by Yuan, what are your plans?"

When these words came out, both Mao Kexi and Mao Zhongming frowned, as if secretly blaming Mao Youde for his recklessness.

When Liu Meng heard this, he naturally made a shocked expression, and then said:

"What? Then Yuan Chonghuan dared to risk the disgrace of the world and kill Shuai Mao? Who gave him the courage to do this?"

Hearing this, Mao Zhongming, who was also the oldest in the old city, sighed and said:
"Hey! There is no other way. According to Mao Shuai's personal guards who came back, the man surnamed Yuan has His Majesty's will to kill Mao Shuai. What can we do to stop him?"

Liu Meng naturally knew the inside story a long time ago. It was nothing more than Yuan Chonghuan thinking that the Dongjiang garrison could not be mobilized, so he killed Mao Wenlong in the hope that he could use this to subdue these Dongjiang warriors who had a brilliant record in Liaodong for his own use.

It's a pity that he still miscalculated. Shang, Kong, and Geng all obeyed him with reason, but they were the master who obeyed and disobeyed secretly, and no one took him seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Meng exhaled heavily, and said seriously to the three of them:

"Hey! Shuai Mao has been fooled!"

When the three of them heard the words, they all shouted "Ah" in surprise, and it was Mao Zhongming who asked eagerly:
"Brother Liu, why did you say that?"

Liu Meng naturally hoped that the three of them would completely stand on the opposite side of Yuan Chonghuan, so of course he had to make it clear to the three of them:

"Think about it! What is Mao Shuai's identity? Zuo Dudu Ping Liao General Military Officer, a dignified second-rank military officer, if he is not arrested and brought to Beijing for interrogation, can he be killed with one knife?
What's more, if Yuan Chonghuan just took out a yellow scroll, can it be used as an imperial decree?

No!Obviously, he just wanted to kill Shuai Mao who didn't listen to his orders, and frighten Dongjiang Town!do you understand? "
