9mm bullets, and even smaller caliber pistols, are generally classified as "small caliber defensive weapons".It is mostly used for security and law enforcement personnel, and the core design idea is "stop and defend".

In this way of thinking, the recoil of the 9mm pistol is reduced, the shooting accuracy is increased, and the ricochet rate is reduced, which balances the relationship between stopping effect and accuracy to the greatest extent.

In later generations, law enforcement officers spent most of their time shooting each other at close range.Using precision 9mm firearms, or even the smaller caliber .22, law enforcement officers can avoid harming innocent people as much as possible.

There are paid vacations for killing gangsters, but once stray bullets accidentally injure innocent people, it will cause huge pressure from public opinion, and the credit will become hard work.

In the seventeenth century, however, thinking changed.Whether it is the senior security personnel passing through the crowd or the elite agents of the General Intelligence Agency, once they decide to draw their guns and shoot expensive bullets, there is no taboo.

The time-traveling instructor taught them from the very beginning: be merciless, and quickly eliminate the opponent at the first time.

After all, in the seventeenth century, there was no need to consider off-site factors such as public opinion, reporters, downtown, innocent people, etc.

Saving the lives of the old men is the first priority.

In this environment, 9 mm is not enough... There were not so many densely populated cities in the seventeenth century for police and robbers to shoot each other at close range.On the contrary, in one-to-many places where there are no people, or even encountering enemies wearing various armors, this probability is greatly increased.

In the end, starting from the end of last year, all the imported pistols of Dayan Country were replaced with .45 caliber revolutionaryly.

To be exact, the HK45 pistol.

.45 caliber pistols, in later generations, were classified as "offensive weapons".Pistols of this caliber have high recoil, high power, and great stopping power, making them excellent battlefield pistols.

Thinking back to the U.S. imperialism after the Iraq war, they looked at the invincible opponents everywhere, so based on the experience of the Iraq war, they unified the caliber of the rifles in the army to 5.56mm.

However, reality soon hit the face.

Then in Afghanistan, American soldiers armed with modern 5.56mm guns were gnawed on naan bread, and the Taliban guerrillas who dared to drink cold water and smoke curly leaves in the plateau area used the old AK to teach them how to behave.

The highlands of Afghanistan are not the streets of Baghdad.There, there is not enough oxygen, stones run with the wind, tanks cannot move, and planes cannot be found.The gun battle mode is often separated by the canyon and the mountain top, and the two sides shoot each other at a long distance in the rock pile at the bottom of the valley.

After paying the price of blood and discovering the shortcomings of 5.56mm low penetration and weak long-range lethality, the U.S. military quickly modified various 7.62mm rifles to rescue Afghanistan.

In the bidding for the next-generation small-caliber weapons of the Ministry of National Defense, the U.S. military announced that: 5.56mm is not powerful enough, and it will gradually replace the general-purpose weapons with a caliber of 6.8mm in the entire army.

Look, it is as strong as the US emperor, and it also suffers from insufficient caliber in the primitive environment.

Thick is thick, one inch is thicker and one inch is stronger, the feeling of refreshment is different, and the laws of physics cannot be changed.Small-caliber bullets may not see much difference at close range. Once the distance is widened, or the opponent has protection, it will immediately be powerless.

……

Zhou Yi lowered his waist and reined in his horse, straightened his arms, and the HK45 in his hand fired all 10 bullets in a few seconds.

There are nine cavalrymen from Shaanxi 20 meters away.Due to the narrow dirt road, the nine people were in two rows at the front and back.Facing the five civilian travelers, the cavalry formed a loose zigzag formation.

The next moment, accompanied by a series of loud noises and lightning flashed across the retina, the powerful power of .45 knocked the four cavalrymen in the front row to their knees.

If it was on a battle formation, these nine elite Shaanxi cavalry must be heavily armored, set up in formation, and ready to charge at any time.

Today, however, the situation is different.The brothers are actually out of the big camp for a rotation. Their purpose is just to stroll around and see if they can get some wild food.Therefore, the group of nine did not focus on heavy armor, but uniformly wore simple leather armor.

I don't want to fight, the seemingly fat wild food becomes life-threatening, and the front row is instantly beaten to the ground.

To be honest, in fact, there was only one person who was shot this round.However, with Zhou Yi's shot, all the horses in the front row with huge targets were shot.The startled horse immediately jumped in pain, and the unprepared cavalry immediately lay down with their guns, some were thrown off, and some were crushed by the lying horse.

The Shaanxi soldiers in the back row who were attacked for the first time were terrified, drew their knives and beat their horses one after another, shouting and trying to force their way through the chaotic front row to fight.

The Ming army during this period was far from collapsing and corrupting in the later period.The core cavalry under He Renlong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, are of tough quality. Even the unheard-of pistol shooting with full sound and light effects did not make them lose their fighting spirit.

However, the will is no match for the technology ahead of the times.When Zhou Yi's pistol hidden in his sleeve was replaced with a second magazine, the cavalry who didn't raise their speed still became targets.

This time, Zhou Yi calmed down, reined in the horse with one hand, and aimed steadily with the other.

A sudden encounter ended in just 3 minutes.When the last cavalryman finally turned around in fear and wanted to escape, Tian Da chased him from behind and killed him with a knife.

Afterwards, the perpetrator quickly fled the crime scene.Zhou Yi and the others rushed their horses and whipped their horses, never resting their horses at the prepared location. They drove all night and ran out of the Xinzheng area... Killing nine elites, the nearby Shaanxi Army camp is bound to be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and they must not stay.

The fugitives along the way did not cherish horsepower anymore, because Xinzheng is only a hundred miles away from Xingyang, and a fast horse can be obtained in half a day.

In fact, before Zhou Yi and the others arrived in Xingyang, they had already connected with the organization.

In the morning of the next day, Zhou Yi and others rushed to Xingyang County 20 miles away, and encountered a sentry sent by Chuangwang Daying to investigate.And now, it's May 5th.

It should be noted that the "Chuang Wang" at this point in time is the 1.0 version of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang's nephew, Li Zicheng, is now just an inconspicuous "breakthrough general" among the camp leaders.

In history, Li Zicheng took over the title of "Chuang Wang 2.0", and he had to wait for Gao Yingxiang to defeat Ziwu Valley next year and be beaten by Sun Chuanting.

Seeing Chuang Jun who came to question him, Zhou Yi and others were overjoyed.

Immediately, Tian Da, who came forward to negotiate, reported the name and name of the camp.After the two sides talked in a few words, the inspector immediately confirmed his family, and then pointed out the location of General Li Chuang's camp to the visitors.

The current situation is that the entire outside of Henan, the official army commanded by Hong Chengchou is shrinking in all directions, gradually squeezing the peasant army in the province to the central and western regions.

Xingyang is in Henan Province.Inside and outside Xingyang County before, thirteen 72 battalions gathered, with a total of more than [-] peasant soldiers and horses.

When Zhou Yi and the others arrived in Xingyang at the end of May, the Xingyang Conference had actually ended.The leaders of the multi-route camps who had gathered here before have already left the camps one after another in accordance with the strategy set by the conference these days.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng, the head of the battalion, was going to go south to Fengyang to dig the ancestral grave of Old Zhu's family with Gao Yingxiang's camp, so he stayed in Xingyang for a few days.

Not long after, according to the guidance, Zhou Yi and others rushed all the way, and finally found Li Zicheng's camp head by the Suo River, seven miles west of Xingyang.

Seeing Brother Tian laughing and being surrounded by a group of sergeants into the depths of the camp, Zhou Yi smiled lightly, and gave a Taoist salute to the officer in charge of reception: "If you dare to ask this brother, there is a tent that can accommodate you." Shall I take a break for a day or two?"

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi, who had changed into a black Taoist robe, was sitting upright in the tent with his eyes closed.

The next moment, only three horns sounded.After a while, there was the sound of boots outside the tent, and a deep voice came in: "Mizhi Li Zicheng, please leave the tent for a while."

"Hehehe."

Zhou Yi, who opened the tent door, at this moment, finally saw the person he had worked so hard to find: "Zhou Yi, the contemporary disciple of the Iron Umbrella Sect, has met the general."

This year, Li Zicheng, a breakout player in his prime, was only 29 years old.

Chapter 668 Sharing the Great Cause ([-])

In the big tent of the Chinese army, General Li Chuang and Zhou Daoren, both the host and guest, sat as non-voting delegates.

This meeting, according to Zhutianliu's routine, belongs to an important time and space node of the plane... a meeting that changed the course of history.

To say that the Chinese military account is actually a bit flattering.Nowadays, all camp leaders are standard rogues, and their professional name is armed beggars.It is impossible for this kind of armed group that runs around day and night to gather and disperse to have formal logistics and supplies, nor can it gather a set of qualified military camp supplies.

As far as what Zhou Yi saw after he entered the camp, most of the soldiers who broke into the army didn't even have uniform uniforms.The so-called barracks in the camp are scattered cloth sheds and thatched huts, just like what a refugee team should have.

The Chinese military tent is actually just a Dragon King Temple in the camp... Miao Zhu's family ran away before the bandits entered Xingyang in large numbers.

Needless to say, at this moment the tent is backed by Sea Dragon King, facing the Kaifeng mansion, and the one sitting in the center is the master of the room, the general Li Zicheng.

It is completely different from the nonsense written purely for discrediting in the "History of Ming Dynasty" "high cheekbones and deep cheekbones, with eyes and nose".Li Zicheng, who is in his thirties, wears a red-tasseled Fanyang hat, has a square face with broad eyebrows, black hair and round eyes.Although he is not a middle-aged handsome guy, he has a tough and generous face, and he has a generous taste of Shaanxi people.

You know, "History of Ming Dynasty" was compiled by the Manchu Qing court.From the second year of Shunzhi to the fourth year of Qianlong, it took 94 years to finalize the draft.It is no exaggeration to say that "Ming History" is the longest official history book in Chinese history.

Why did the dystocia take so long?Because the falsification of historical books is a systematic project, and countless lies need to be used to cover up countless lies... More than 3000 million copies of Ming Dynasty historical materials originally preserved in the Ming court archives were finally destroyed by the Manchu Qing court to less than 4000 pieces... Even so, "Ming History" is also full of inconsistencies, contradictions and absurdities.

Therefore, when the Qing court entered the customs and seized the world under the slogan of "revenge for Emperor Chongzhen", in the "compilation project" such as "Ming History", it is true that Li Zicheng, who forced Chongzhen to death, can arrange a good look Hell.

Li Zicheng made his move, and those who sat facing the east were Zhou Yi and three distinguished guests from the army.

Probably because of taking care of the feelings of the distinguished guests, there were three capable men sitting opposite Zhou Yi.After Li Zicheng's introduction, as expected, these three are the township parties that Zicheng relies on most at this stage: Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Guo.

Next, as the master, Li Zicheng looked at Daoist Zhou with a smile again, and finally subdued his surprise in his heart, and cupped his hands and said: "Zicheng first, on behalf of all the brothers, thank you, Taoist priest, for his generous help, and rescued Tian from the hands of the government." The lives of the two of you."

Although he had heard a lot of miraculous stories beforehand, he himself was also very interested in the Taoist priest with a very different aura in front of him.But after all, brother Zicheng often dealt with people from all walks of life, so he didn't say a word of admiration for a long time. Instead, he bowed his hands frankly and raised the topic of the prison robbery first.

At the same time as Li Zicheng bowed his hands, the three subordinates and old brothers also bowed their hands and bowed their hands to thank him.

"Hehe, it's nothing more than a little effort, and I shouldn't be praised by the general."

While General Li was sizing up Zhou Yi, Daoist Zhou also observed the anti-army leader with great interest.

From Zhou Yi's point of view, General Li Chuang, who is not very good-looking... and his messy battalion... are not as neat as the reeducation through labor team in Dongguan No. No matter what, I can't see where it is worth the trouble of the General Intelligence Bureau to send myself to give a big gift.

However, the decision of the General Administration must be correct, and this point has already been stamped with iron law in Zhou Yi's heart through countless actions.So now he is also very interested in Brother Zicheng... Zhou Yi really wants to find out what this general Li Chuang has that is so far superior to his peers that the General Administration can bet on him.

"It's a coincidence."

After Tuantuan and the people on the opposite side greeted each other politely, Daoist Zhou opened up the conversation: "To tell you the truth, I originally came down the mountain on a poor way to pay homage to the general. I didn't want to fall asleep and meet the pillow, so I happened to be here At the foot of the mountain, I learned about the trapped Tian family brothers."

"So... it can be regarded as a meeting ceremony... Hehe... To join a gang in the Jianghu, there is no such thing as a certificate of honor."

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yi hadn't finished speaking, and laughter sounded.

After raising his head and laughing a few times, Li Zicheng said with a smile all over his face: "The Taoist priest is just joking. We are all hard-working people who force the people to rebel against the government to survive, not bandits who occupy mountains and become kings in the rivers and lakes. I'm not interested in submitting certificates."

"However, regarding the matter of the Tian family brothers, I still feel very kind."

Speaking of this, after Li Zicheng and his brother looked at each other, their faces became more serious, and finally got to the point: "The Taoist priest speaks frankly, so Zicheng is not easy to lie. Just now the Taoist priest said that this defection... this …Brothers heard about it a little bit before, and were really surprised.”

Although Li Zicheng and his group had heard Tian Da's words before, they were all paraphrases, and Tian Da couldn't explain many key points clearly.So when Zhou Yi himself made it clear again just now that he wanted to join him, Li Zicheng was surprised and had to ask clearly.

You know, the Li Zicheng Group at this point in time revolted and defected to his uncle Gao Yingxiang. Not long ago, the team was just opened, with no more than fifty horses, and there were only more than 300 Ganshan deserters under his command... Seven or eight guns , was chased dizzily by the imperial army every day.

A battalion leader of Li Zicheng's size, and even his own reputation, are classified into the atmosphere group in today's mighty peasant army rebellion trend, and they have no reputation at all.

If it weren't for this Xingyang meeting, to be honest, even the battalion leaders inside the Peasant Army, most of them would not know who General Li Chuang is.

However, this Zhou Daoist with obvious background...An angel investor in the [-]th century just killed officials and saved people so far Talk about cooperation, talk about support... Happiness comes too suddenly, and the Li Group must not be used to it all of a sudden.

"Hehehe."

Concerning Brother Zicheng's biggest doubt at the moment, Zhou Yi's heart is like a bright mirror.This conclusion is easy to speculate, and Li Chuang would think so if he were him.

So Daoist Zhou memorized the copy again: "It's a long story... Rong Pindao first reported to his master... Divine secret... Heavenly secret... Deduction... So... Only then..."

The set of copywriting that Zhou Yi memorized at the Dragon King Temple today is a detailed version and the content is very comprehensive.This set of copywriting, from various angles of feudal superstition, expounds the whole process of how the Youdao expert calculated the heavenly secrets, deduced the direction of the dragon's energy, and finally determined that brother Zicheng is the son of luck.

Next, Zhou Yi's logic is very clear: Since brother Chuang is the son of luck, then the hidden sect Iron Umbrella Gate, who wants to enter the world and gain luck from the dragon, sent Zhou Yi, a contemporary disciple, to come down the mountain to assist Chuang. Brother, it is a very reasonable and logical thing.

……

"call……"

After a full stick of incense, Zhou Daoren's copywriting came to an end.

Although he was still sitting in the chair, Li Zicheng's current feeling was like flying through the clouds... Everything Zhou Daoren said was more ideal than he expected.

In fact, just after Tian Da told about the process of returning from prison, most of the backbone members of Li Zicheng's group have already firmly believed in Zhou Daoren's origin.

The reason is very simple: except for the answer of actually calculating the secret of heaven, the rest of the guesswork cannot be explained. How did Zhou Yi, who is far away in Huguang, know that there is such a person as Li Zicheng, and came all the way to visit him.

Don't forget, this is the seventeenth century, an era when a letter takes months to send.

What's more, this Zhou Taoist not only killed officials to rebel, but also brought his own dry food, sending several thousand catties of military food...a government spy?If the government had been so wealthy, there would not have been uprisings of refugees everywhere.

Lu Xun said, rule out all the impossible, and the rest is the correct answer.

For Li Zicheng and other people at the bottom of society in the Ming Dynasty, their knowledge structure, and even their outlook on the world and life all determined that what Zhou Yi said was the only answer they could accept.

"Hehe, the general has the great luck of dragon energy, this is the will of God that cannot be violated...Pindao's reason for coming this time probably makes it clear."

When Zhou Yi uttered the last sentence, at this moment, Li Zicheng, who finally realized that he "really has the potential to sit on the dragon chair", was overwhelmed, his brain was crazily congested, his face was flushed, and his fingers squeezed the armrest tightly, but he was still sipping. Self-modestly said: "Self-cultivation started at the very end, the Taoist priest is so loving, it really kills me!"

Before Brother Zicheng could finish his performance and leave the scene, Li Guo, who was the youngest present, jumped up excitedly, patted the back of the chair and shouted, "Uncle really is the real dragon! I don't want this!" Big tomorrow, but it’s cheaper, I’ll wait!! Haha! Haha!”

……

Two days later, Li Zicheng's troops, who had been entrenched on the left side of Xingyang for more than a month, suddenly broke out and headed southward at high speed in the direction of Xuchang.

Two days later, Li Zicheng's forward cavalry team joined the grain transportation team south of Yinshui and received the grain truck.

Later that day, in a Guandi temple near Yinshui, all the generals of Li Zicheng's group, as well as the hundreds of soldiers in the outer circle, including the tight wall, watched with the same eager eyes. lively scene.

At this moment, although Zhou Daoren has not been accepted into Li Zicheng's team, he is already standing on Li Chuang's right hand, and his position seems to have been agreed upon.

In fact, in the past few days after leaving the camp and going south, both the host and the guest are waiting for the arrival of this batch of grain trucks.

Li Zicheng waited for the grain truck in order to make the final verification of everything before.On Zhou Yi's side, it was to "shock" the opponent so that he could gain more voice within the team in the future.

As for what kind of "shock" the thousands of catties of grain, which had already been psychologically expected, would bring to Li Zicheng's department...the answer will soon be given.

The next moment, the gang leader opened the sack to inspect the grain, felt something was wrong and stretched out his hand, but pulled out a bright silver breastplate with metallic luster from the grain bag.

The silver scale breastplate... Wrong, it is the mountain pattern armor, the high-end armor equipped by the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone from Li Zicheng down was dumbfounded.

On the morning of the second day, June 1635, 6, Yinshui Guandi Temple.Witnessed by Guan Sheng, general Li Zicheng gathered his men, opened an altar of incense, and publicly worshiped Zhou Yi, a Taoist priest of the Iron Umbrella Gate, as his military adviser and assisted him.

Chapter 669 Sharing the Great Cause ([-])

After Zhou Yi broke into the camp and became an official, the whole army marched out again, bypassing Xuchang, and the marching route was erratic.
