Chapter 154 154 [Widow Maker]

In the tavern in Yuanbao Town, a guest who just came in asked for a bowl of wine and showed off to the others: "Hey, have you heard? There is a ruthless man in Erlongshan Village..."

Another drinker immediately stood up and continued, "Single-handedly charged into Erlong Mountain, killing people with guns and guns, and killed all the beards on Erlong Mountain in one go. Am I right?
I've been telling this story for the past few days. Ice Fly, the head of Erlong Mountain, had his head chopped off, and the government's reward of three hundred oceans has already been issued.

It is said that the man who received the reward had extremely good marksmanship. Lao Maozi put his quick gun on his shoulder without aiming, and he fired. Guess what? "

A drinker added: "A bird flying in the sky fell to the ground with a clatter."

"That's right, this friend is right. Who can hit a palm-sized sparrow flying in the sky? This hero can do it." The storyteller clapped his hands and laughed.

He went on to say: "If everyone is still a little skeptical about this statement, then a friend of mine saw it with his own eyes.

It is said that this person took the head flying on the ice and went to the Yamen to receive a reward.The county magistrate didn't believe what he said. After all, he single-handedly killed more than a dozen bandits, and there was such a vicious guy as Ice Flying, which didn't seem real.

But this man showed his hand and stopped the county magistrate and all the officials of the yamen on the spot. Guess what happened? "

"Tell me, tell me, I haven't heard of this yet?" A customer urged anxiously.

"Boss, serve him a jug of wine." Another guest proudly ordered a jug of wine for him as a mouthwash, and then urged: "Don't whet your appetite, hurry up and talk!"

After arousing everyone's curiosity and taking the reward, the man continued: "The good man asked the villagers who came with him to receive the reward to stand 400 meters away, put a wine gourd on his head, and shot him. The wine gourd exploded directly, and the man was fine.

Tell me, 400 meters away, who do you think can hit? "

Everyone in the tavern shook their heads, obviously they hadn't heard of it.Those beards with accurate marksmanship in their mouths are said to be accurate at 100 meters, have a certain amount of accuracy at 200 meters, and there are few legends about three or 400 meters.

The younger brother asked curiously: "Brother, don't talk about us from the Qing Dynasty. Let's just talk about whether Lao Maozi and Little Japan are so powerful?"

"Hey, you got to the point." The guest who told the story put down his wine bowl and said with a smack: "There is no need to talk about the Qing Dynasty. Except for Mr. Yuan's new army, everyone knows the virtues of the other Green Battalion soldiers. .

The old Maozi and the little Japanese, if there are such powerful sharpshooters, I reckon there may be. After all, there are so many people, it is normal to have one or two.

But why are they not famous? Firstly, they must be relatively small in number, and secondly, they are not as powerful as this hero, so no one can produce any great records. Of course, no one knows.

But no matter what, this hero is very powerful. The county magistrate wanted to make him an official so that he could be appointed to suppress the bandits, but the hero directly refused.

Later, the county magistrate thought of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, so he appointed him as the captain of the insurance team of Erlongshan Village, responsible for the security of several nearby villages.Now this hero is the insurance captain of the side that protects the people. "

This group of drinkers listened with gusto. Heroes and villains became famous, got a large sum of money, and went directly from civilians to officials, including all human desires. Who wouldn't want to replace them with their own bodies?
Even fantasizing about it in a dream is extremely refreshing.

In the backyard of the tavern, the little brother who asked the question just now hurriedly opened the door and came in. Seeing the young man sitting cross-legged on the kang, he hurried over: "Second brother, when did you come back?"

"It's not long since I came back." Yuan Pengfei poured the hot wine into a small porcelain cup, had a drink, and warmed up his body. Then he asked with concern: "Chuan Wu, how are you and Chuan Jie? Are you causing trouble?"

Chuanwu and Chuanjie became apprentice buddies in Xia Yuanzhang's store. Chuanjie was good at writing, smart and down-to-earth, and he was quite popular with shopkeeper Xia.

And Chuanwu was just making a joke, Yuan Pengfei heard from Chuanjie a few days ago.To write a word for the entry test, Chuan Wu held back for a long time, and then wrote down his name.And it's the kind of ants crawling, it's simply unsightly.

He also argued arguably that the number one scholar can also be divided into the number one scholar in civil and military affairs!He practiced a set of boxing techniques on the spot and begged others to accept him.

He didn't even think about it, with his reckless temper, does he look like a business material?Shopkeeper Xia couldn't save face, so he accepted him because of the kindness of the Zhu family for saving his life.

Chuanwu chuckled, not daring to say that he and Shopkeeper Xia's daughter Yushu played tricks on Chuanjie together.

"It's all good. Shopkeeper Xia is also very kind to us. Second brother, you have become the captain of the insurance team. When will you go back and tell mother?"

Yuan Pengfei ate peanuts, hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Don't tell the godmother about this, I'm afraid she will be worried, and tell her later."

"Second brother, I know."

Chuan Wu nodded and agreed.

"By the way, when do you have time to buy some delicious food, take it back to your godmother, and consider it as a filial piety to her." He took out a few oceans from his arms, stuffed them into Chuanwu's hand and warned. .

"Okay, brother."

Chuanwu was overjoyed with Dayang in his hand, he probably wanted to satisfy his hunger for the delicious food he bought.

"Hey, second brother, how about you went to buy a gun from Lao Maozi, did you buy it?"

"I only bought ten rods, and it cost me more than 500 yuan. Those old men are too dark." Yuan Pengfei complained.

After copying the bandit's hometown, he got more than 1000 oceans and spent half of it on buying ten guns. He was so distressed that he trembled.

And that old Maozi officer just used his power to swipe on the ledger, and the ten rifles became battle wear and tear, and the money was in hand.

In other words, rights are a good thing.

What made him even more distressed was that he couldn't afford some good things.

The old quartermaster had a Maxim heavy machine gun in his hand. It was the kind with wheels and could be pushed by one person. With a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, it could be called a life harvester.

This thing showed great power in the Russo-Japanese War. Little Japan's pig-jumping tactics were unlucky under the Maxim heavy machine gun, and they were brought down in batches like mowing grass.

When the quartermaster opened his mouth, it was five thousand oceans.Don't haggle over the price, just stick it out like this, if you want to ask for more sticks, it will take a year later.

Because it won't be available for a while, the frontline battlefield is still in a hurry to use it!

This quartermaster was also blinded by lard, he didn't pay attention to the interests of the country, he only had his own interests in his eyes.He hid this heavy machine gun here without telling his superiors, just waiting for a good buyer.

Not to mention Yuan Pengfei looking for him, even the Japanese looking for him, as long as he paid for it, he would sell it.If Satan offered enough money to buy his soul, presumably he would be able to sell it too.

Yuan Pengfei has no money!Looking at the greedy eyes, there is nothing to do, so I can only think about raising money slowly, and then figure out a way later.

However, when the Russians are defeated, the quartermaster will definitely have to make a big discount, and the price will definitely be much cheaper if he picks up the leaks at that time.

"Second brother, what kind of heavy machine gun is this horse? Is it really as good as you say? Five thousand oceans are exchanged for iron bumps. I'll be good at it. How much food can I buy?" Chuanwu said in disbelief.

Yuan Pengfei knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't make Chuanwu believe it. He could only say that he would get it back later so that he could see it.

Speaking of the Maxim heavy machine gun, we have to mention the Battle of the Somme in World War I.

The Germans placed a Maxim heavy machine gun every 40 meters on the 1-kilometer defense line. On the first day, 14 British divisions launched an attack, and 6 people were killed or injured by the Maxim heavy machine gun.

For example, in Yuan Shikai's six Beiyang towns, each town has 1.2 people, and there are only more than 7 people in total.If it is placed in this battle, it will be almost all in one day.

The Battle of the Somme lasted 141 days, and the British and German sides suffered a total of 126 million casualties. On average, every day, rounded up, 1 people died a day.

Most of these people fell under the flames of the Maxim machine gun. It can also be said that a whole generation of people in Europe died under the machine gun.

It produces a large number of widows and is called the widow maker.In those decades, men in Europe became popular, and they couldn't handle it.In the UK alone, 200 million single women die alone.

Later, in order to prevent the Germans from invading, the French, who were psychologically shadowed, spent most of their national effort to build the Maginot Line of Defense.

The effect is well known, it would be better to get a few more widow makers—Maxim heavy machine guns.

Yuan Pengfei's greed for this thing is extraordinary.

It can be said that with such a stand there, what is the Qing government worth?No matter how many green camp soldiers come, it is not enough to fight.
