Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Yes, I obey."

After the NPC Zhu Dadian left, Zhang Qiang took Zhou Porridge Zhou, the servant of Zhu's family, and three rebel soldiers around him, to the courtyard where Zhu's weapons were stored.

It was really nine bends and eighteen bends. When Zhang Qiang was about to get dizzy, he finally arrived at the compound.

The courtyard is a little dilapidated, the gray brick walls and ash are all on the ground, when the door is pushed open, the door shaft makes a heavy creaking sound, when the room where the weapons are hidden is pushed open, a layer of dust falls from the top, spiders are everywhere at the foot of the wall net.

Such a situation made Zhang Qiang feel that the Ming people did not care about weapons and equipment. At the same time, he also understood why the Qing army always won when the Ming army fought against the Qing army. Hua, she didn't know how to be prepared for danger until she died. Only when she was about to die, would someone sharpen their guns. How could they beat the well-prepared, well-equipped and powerful Qing army.

"The weapons are here. There are weapons around the foot of the wall. On the left are armors and military uniforms. On the right are the muskets that the adults bought from the Portuguese barbarians. In the backyard wing room are gunpowder."

Zhang Qiang was very excited when he heard the words of the Zhu Family Ding who was in charge of the warehouse. The musket, this is the magic weapon of the traverser, three-stage strike, five-stage strike, what an exciting scene, watching the enemies being hit one by one The chest, the body rolled in the air like a rag, and then fell to the ground, turning into a corpse, what a bloody scene.

"Open, open" Zhang Qiang shouted excitedly to the rebel soldiers beside him.

The wooden boxes were opened one by one. However, Zhang Qiang was a little crying. When they were taken out, they were all stained with rust.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Qiang felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from the top of his head in winter, trembling from the cold, his face turned blue and a little purple.

"How could this be?" Zhang Qiang shouted angrily at the servant guarding the warehouse.

The servant huddled aside, and said nununonuo: "My lord, my lord, these firearms have been bought for a long time, and my lord is afraid that the court will investigate him for rebellion, so I dare not take them out and use them, they are piled up in the warehouse, forgotten later, and no one takes care of them. , so it became like this.”

What else can Zhang Qiang do? He turned his head and said to Zhou Porridge: "Go out and call people in, pick out the muskets that can be used, wipe them clean, and then move all the muskets and gunpowder to the southeast army camp, and go and kill all the soldiers in the rebel army who can fire muskets." Summon it and give me a number."

Zhou Zhou bowed his head and said, "Yes, my lord."

Zhang Qiang knew that it seemed that the musket could not be relied on. Looking up at the sky, it was already a quiet night with a bright moon and few stars.

The torch was beeping and beeping, making a violent burning sound, and a burning smell pierced his nostrils. He couldn't help but yawned, and listened carefully. The Qing army outside the city began to attack the city again. The gun body rumbled, shouting The sound of shouting and killing can be faintly heard.

Zhang Qiang turned his head and said to the trembling servant guarding the warehouse: "What's your name?"

The servant replied cautiously: "Little man, Zhu Dayou, please inquire about his nickname."

Zhang Qiang doesn't care what he asks, he is short of people, and he can't send a few people around him, so he can only rush to catch them.

Turning around, he said to the servant who didn't know that person's mansion, but defended himself on the city wall with two servants of Zhu's house, who didn't know that the squire was powerful: "You let him take it, go to Zhu's mansion to call someone, all The servants, all active people, whether women or the elderly, are called up.

All the houses around the Zhu Mansion were demolished, the bricks, stones, and wood were brought into the Zhu Mansion, and the courtyard walls of the Zhu Mansion were reinforced, according to the original size, thicker, and the upper part of the courtyard walls was made more spacious, so that people could leave, and then all the buildings were removed. All the ladders are moved to the courtyard wall, where they are erected, waiting for my order. "

The foreign family member said: "Yes, the villain will do it now."

Zhang Qiang sighed, and looked up at the night sky, "Do whatever you want, obey the destiny!"

Chapter No.16 Show off your might

On the other side of the Wujiang River, opposite to the south gate of Jinhua Mansion, in the night, torches spread all over the mountains and plains. The Qing army attacked the city overnight. To the city wall, and then killed and wounded by primitive weapons such as rolling logs, stones, and hot oil.

The banner of the Han army, Li Chengdong's Ming army, lined up on the bank of the river, waiting for the order to attack.

On a hillside, some chief generals of the Qing army Baylor, Boluo and Qing army, as well as the surrendered generals of the Ming army, all gathered here, looking at the direction of Jinhua Fucheng, which was in full swing.

After a while, Bo Luo said to a Ming general: "Let's lead our troops to launch an attack from behind the Fucheng. Without a military order, you are not allowed to stop the attack."

The general of the Ming army took the command arrow tremblingly, and shouted, "Zha".

Bo Luo turned to Ruan Dacheng and said, "Have you found out the movements of the Ming army in the city?"

Ruan Dacheng said: "Master, two hours ago, the Ming army was demolishing houses in the city. It is estimated that there is not enough rolling wood and rocks. In addition, I heard that the government and county government issued a summoning order to let the Ming people in the city hide from our army." Join the rebels."

A Qing soldier, Zhen Zhangjing, said with a sneer: "The battle of trapped beasts, when the city is broken, instantly turns them into lambs without herdsmen and hounds."

"Hahaha," the generals of the Qing army laughed arrogantly, squinting at the descendants of the Ming army from time to time.

There was also a burst of complacency on Boluo's face.

Although he besieged the Jinhua Mansion for more than a month, he did not break through the Jinhua Mansion, which discredited his prestige in the Qing army.

But today he saw so many cannons approaching. Thinking about how many fortified cities in the Ming Dynasty were blasted away by cannons in the past, and then the Ming army ran around like sheep, and the Qing army chased them and slaughtered them wantonly. Instantly gave him a lot of confidence.

He raised his horsewhip, pointed at the city of Jinhua and said, "Take Jinhua, and the whole army will not seal their swords or gather generals for three days!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" The generals of the Qing army straightened their waists and shouted loudly, holding their weapons high on the horse.

Their shouts drove the flag of the Han army and the soldiers of the Ming army, shouting loudly together.

Boluo was very happy, and said with a smile: "The army's morale is available, and the destruction of the Ming court is just around the corner."

Ruan Dacheng and Li Chengdong immediately interjected: "Lord Baylor is mighty, the Qing Dynasty is mighty, I am the Qing Dynasty forever, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Hahaha" Boluo laughed loudly.

And in Jinhua City, on the city wall.

The servants and government officials organized by the squires, and the rebel soldiers organized by the county government all went up to reinforce them, together with the new Qing army who had already jumped on the city wall, as well as the people of Jinhua Mansion who were captured from the surrounding area, and some Qing army soldiers. The clothes slaves fought desperately.

The shouts of killing and the clashing of swords were louder and clearer than each other. The blood and corpses quickly flooded the city wall. The soldiers on both sides fought like they were fighting on the river bank. Their feet were either ankle-deep blood or stumbling corpses.

Both sides are common people of the Ming Dynasty, but at this moment they are their masters and kill each other.

Under the city wall, the healthy women in the city carried the wounded down one by one. The old people were cooking hot oil, and the children were holding bundles of firewood and adding them to the stove. Some seven or eight-year-old girls were busy following the adults while squeezing their fingers, helping them hold things, picking up fallen firewood, and moving bricks.

A hundred steps away from the city wall, a new city wall is taking shape. Although it is not as strong and solid as the outer city wall, it is also very thin, but it is also increasing and widening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Behind the city wall, the houses collapsed amid the shouts of the peasants, and then the young and strong led the women, children, and the elderly to carry bricks, wood, and even soil, and built hills the size of hills behind the city wall. .

The hills are connected, and the middle is blocked by furniture, wooden benches, and trees.

Zhang Qiang's vision is taking shape.

In the southeast corner, inside the barracks, Zhang Qiang looked at the [-] rebels who had been summoned to shoot firearms. All the firearms of the rebels were concentrated here, as well as the muskets collected from the Zhu Mansion and the government office. artillery.

There are a total of twelve Flang machine guns, tiger squat guns, and tiger squat guns collected from the warehouse that were removed from the city wall. Not to mention the quality, at least they can be used.

It's too late to train them, but it's enough to form groups, arrange officers, customize some basic flags and drums, so that these officers can understand.

These officers are all veterans of the Ming army who have survived many battles. There are about [-] of them. There are also some gentry servants. The country gentry subdued these people for the sake of the common people, but what they can do now is to obey the orders of the government office and Zhu Dashi and send these people to Zhang Qiang as military officers.

Although their character is inferior, when it comes to leadership experience, they still have some experience. Whether it is coercion, beatings, or other methods, Zhang Qiang doesn't care. That's it.

After practicing for an hour, there was about a [-]% chance that these people would not shoot without obeying orders, Zhang Qiang nodded slightly, and led them out of the barracks towards the second city wall in the southwest corner.

On the city wall, the city wall has been basically completed, rough and without any decoration, and even some daring people can climb up with bare hands in some places.

But there is no way, time is running out.

A corner of the city wall in the southwest section has collapsed, but fortunately it didn't collapse completely, otherwise, the Qing army would have rushed in.
