Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The man he called Lao Zhang earlier put his hand on Lao Wu's shoulders and asked.

This guy even stretched his neck and leaned over to check:

"One, two, three...seventeen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, fourteen, fifteen..."

Lao Zhang, who didn't know how to count, kept counting and ran back to the front.

However, this guy didn't notice it at all.

When he finished counting, he said excitedly:

"Old Wu, you can't do it. You only moved 16 bags in one morning. Let me do the math."

This guy pointed his fingers and calculated bit by bit:

"One bag of soil is worth ten copper plates. Ten bags of soil is equal to 13 copper plates. 16 bags of soil is equal to 171 copper plates.

Hehe, you don’t earn as much as me. I moved 17 bags of soil this morning and earned a total of 183 copper coins! "

This guy had no idea that his arithmetic was taught by his wife, and he said seriously:

"I came here to work for three days. I earned 360 copper coins on the first day and 380 copper coins on the second day.

Plus today, I have all..."

He calculated for a long time, clasping his ten fingers back and forth. He wished he could sit on the ground, take off his shoes, and count with his toes.

After half a day, he said:

"I've earned 195 copper coins in the past three days!"

Lao Zhang used the arithmetic taught by his wife to calculate the "copper coins" he earned in three days, and then said with a mocking look:

"Look, you've even gone to school and it's useless!

In just three days, I earned so much more than you! "

Lao Zhang's "exquisite arithmetic" only made the thin old Wu burst into laughter.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm just a scholar, I can't do any physical work!"

He smiled and nodded, echoing Lao Zhang's words.

But deep down in my heart I am thinking:

The military master said that the copper coins they earned could be exchanged for copper coins or silver dollars.

Of course, it can also be exchanged for silver.

The exchange price is one thousand copper coins, converted into one tael of silver.

……

Lao Wu knew that exchanging money was the most uneconomical option.

Because with copper coins, you can find a place at random and only need 920 coins to exchange for one or two silver coins.

Lao Wu decided to save bamboo sticks.

Because the official said, only 320 counters are needed to exchange for one silver dollar.

When the time comes, I can find a shop at random and I can exchange it for six taels of silver!

If the military master hadn't stipulated that he could only exchange bamboo sticks for his own "labor income", Lao Wu would have collected other people's bamboo sticks and exchanged them with the military master.

That’s an opportunity to make a lot of money!

Lao Wu doesn’t dare!

On the first day he came, after he understood the exchange rules, he was about to "take a side trip" when he saw the military master expelling more than a dozen civilians.

Because--that's how they took shortcuts...

Old Wu put the bag away with a smile on his face.

Then he said to Lao Zhang:

"It's still early to leave. We can carry it five or six more times. Let's work harder!"

"Hehe, it's got to be one more time than you!"

Lao Zhang can still calculate clearly the addition and subtraction of numbers below ten.

Moving a bag of soil is worth ten copper plates.

Lao Zhang can also calculate this simple account clearly.

Ten copper coins, exchanged for miscellaneous grains, mixed with some wild vegetables and leaves, are enough for the family to eat for a long time!

One day's work for the imperial army is enough to feed the whole family for a year!

Make money...

Lao Zhang is very "squeezed"!

Lao Zhang strode forward.

Behind him, Lao Wu followed leisurely.

As a former scholar, he naturally understood the principle of "taking it easy" because he was physically weak.

With a body like his, like Lao Zhang, he would not be able to carry more than ten bags...

……

City head.

Seeing that one's own attack failed once again.

The Ming army once again used the bait of raising the mound to shoot its own side, and the Qing soldiers panicked.

Someone dropped their gun, turned around and ran.

However, they were all chopped down to the ground by the Jurchen bannermen who were supervising the battle with long swords.

"Counterattack the Nanmanzi, counterattack the Nanmanzi immediately, if you dare to disobey, you will be killed without mercy!"

The nobles of the Eight Banners spoke proficient Chinese and shouted angrily.

“Counterattack the South Barbarians!

Counterattack the Nanmanzi immediately! "

The Han flag soldiers behind the Jurchens spoke nonsense Chinese and followed behind them, shouting repeatedly.

Since ancient times, these two devils have always been more harmful than the foreign devils!

If a person no longer has their ancestors, can they still be expected to have a conscience?

Those who speak the same language often harm their former villagers, even more cruelly!

……

The bloody sword in the hands of the supervising team only made the defeated army panic.

Seeing that the master of the Eight Banners was serious, the defeated army did not dare to run again.

They obediently stopped, turned around, and walked towards the female wall step by step.

Behind him, the supervising team shouted angrily.

The Qing army hid behind the female wall and began to reload in a panic.

However, the Ming army's guns were too accurate.

Everyone squatted down beside the female wall and fired randomly outside the city.

Not to mention sticking his head out to take aim, he didn't even dare to show his head!

……

"Use artillery!"

Downstairs of the city gate is where the general's flag should have been erected.

However, the banner of the Imperial Father and the Regent was leaning on the wall and did not even dare to hang it up!

Dorgon's face turned livid and he shouted:

"Assemble the artillery and blast me!

Blast those damn rioters to death!

I don’t believe it anymore, the Ming army can still use their own lives to pay for it! "

"Master, you can't fire!"

Hong Chengchou knelt in front of Dorgon, hugged Dorgon's thighs with both hands, and begged:

"Master, our cannons are not as numerous as the Ming army's cannons, nor are they as powerful as the Ming army's cannons.

As long as we don't fire, they won't fire either and will only fight with us.

They have made it clear now that they want to replace us.

If we fire the artillery, we will be severely bombarded by the Ming army! "

Hong Chengchou's face was full of fear.

The Ming army swarmed without knowing how to improve.

That new type of rocket is like a thunderbolt that explodes every time it is launched.

There won't be a single living person left within one foot of the surrounding area!

As long as they fire the cannon, they will immediately cause a sea of ​​​​fire...

It wouldn't matter if it was just a swarm of bees. Their longest range was the red cannon.

And the Ming army also has it!

Their most powerful force is the enemy of ten thousand people.

As long as the Ming army dares to attack the city gate, it only takes one attack to kill all ten thousand enemies.

This thing is terrifyingly powerful.

however……

The Ming army has a new type of artillery that is capable of sending shells two miles away that are as powerful as an enemy of ten thousand people.

But the range is farther than their Folan machine!

……

Can't fire!

Once the cannon is fired, it will trigger a counterattack from the Ming army's artillery.

By then, the casualties will be even greater!

It was just a gunfight, and only the newly recruited soldiers died.

These people are not strong in combat, and they will die if they die. They will not harm the main force of the Qing Dynasty.

Once the Ming army is attacked by artillery, the elite of the Qing Dynasty will die!
