Chapter 146 Sending blessings
"It's the official." Ma Mingfeng bowed to Fu Zonglong and said respectfully.
"It's not that I don't want to believe it. Can you prove yourself?"
"This is the appointment document of the subordinate official, and I would like to ask the Governor to take a look."
Ma Mingfeng had no complaints about Fu Zonglong's suspicion. On the contrary, it would be abnormal if he did not doubt it. After all, as the governor of one side, he could not just tell him what his identity was. He believed it immediately, right? What if it was a detailed work of the enemy?
Fu Zonglong looked carefully at Ma Mingfeng's appointment document and finally confirmed that Ma Mingfeng was not a fake, so he asked with a puzzled look: "I don't know that Governor Ma came from Kaifeng from afar, what's the point?"
Ma Mingfeng bowed his hand and said with a serious expression: "The official came to pay homage to the Governor for Li Zicheng's sake. I wonder if we need our cooperation?"
Fu Zonglong looked at Ma Mingfeng and said, "You Kaifeng has few soldiers, but there are many loyal and righteous people. You just need to work together to defend Kaifeng. As for the pursuit and killing the thieves, you can leave it to us."
Ma Mingfeng took a deep breath when he heard this, and then asked respectfully: "Sir, don't blame the officials for being troubled. I wonder how many soldiers can be recruited to Henan? Do you know how many thieves are there now? What is the strategy to combat the thieves?"
But the personal general behind Fu Zonglong shouted loudly: "Bold! What is your identity? How dare you question the Governor? Could it be that he is impatient?"
Fu Zonglong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Lord Ma is a governor of the province no matter what. Moreover, his teacher Huang Shizhai also has some friendship with me and once asked me to take care of him. In this way, he can be regarded as a junior who can be promoted."
Fu Zonglong then said: "To be honest, the number of people that our governor can recruit is indeed limited. Now there is a famine in Shaanxi. Our supplies are relatively scarce, and we can only recruit up to 5,000 people. In addition, the Herenlong tribe and the Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue tribe, the total number is at most more than 40,000. However, even so, our governor is confident that he is sure to defeat the thieves and ensure that there is nothing wrong in Henan. Hehe, although there are many thieves, they are just a mob."
When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Governor General, please forgive the rude officials. Now the thieves and Luo Rucai are united. These two are all old battle formations, proficient in military tactics, thieves are good at fighting, Luo thieves are good at planning, the thieves are good at siege, the Luo thieves are good at fighting, and the thieves are good at fighting, and the thieves are powerful, so the thieves must not underestimate the enemy."
Fu Zonglong's face suddenly became dark after hearing this, and he said with some displeasure: "I did not underestimate the enemy. Although the thief and Luo thief are strong, the two sides are in harmony and may not be able to work together during the battle. Moreover, one of them is good at siege and the other is good at field battles. We only need to defeat them according to their weaknesses. We are still sure of victory. Although you have read a lot of books and have extraordinary knowledge, fighting is not a paper talk. This governor has his own good strategies to defeat the enemy, so we don't have to say much."
"But sir, I still hope that I can think carefully about it. Why not form a striking force with my Kaifeng's troops. I sent troops to guard the outside of the city, and the subordinates led troops to guard the city. The bandits attacked the eldest son, the subordinates led troops to help. The bandits attacked the open Fengze led troops to help. The two sides attacked each other, and the bandits had no way to do anything. After a long time, they would naturally withdraw their troops..."
"Hehe, withdraw troops? The emperor gave this governor not only to retreat troops, but to encircle and suppress the rebels. What's more, the Ming Dynasty is best at field battles. Before, whether it was offering thieves or rebels, they were not the opponent of our army during field battles, let alone a mere Luo Rucai? But there is one thing you are right. This governor not only wants to defeat the rebels, but also to protect Henan. In this case, let's choose the decisive position in Kaifeng Prefecture. When our army defeats, we will definitely notify Governor Ma as soon as possible."
Fu Zonglong was very confident in his plan and the combat power of his soldiers, so he did not take Ma Mingfeng's reminder seriously.
Seeing this, Ma Mingfeng sighed. He finally met a famous general, but he was paranoid, full of infinite confidence in himself, but he did not take the bandits seriously.
"Your Madam is so underestimating the enemy, you will definitely suffer the consequences in the future, but at that time, you may not be useful even if you regret it. You will destroy tens of thousands of troops in one go, which is equivalent to taking out all the Ming Dynasty's family gradually."
However, Ma Mingfeng had no choice. After all, the other party has greater power than him. If he really didn't listen, he really had no choice.
At the end, Ma Mingfeng sighed softly, but he still took out the mines and grenades he made and said to Fu Zonglong: "Since the Governor is so confident, the lower officials will be relieved. When we leave, please allow the lower officials to offer new weapons developed by the upper officials. This object is a mine, which looks no different from ordinary mines. However, this mine can jump to the ground and explode when it explodes. In this way, its lethality is several times greater than that of ordinary mines. Moreover, this mine can explode at the same time. As long as we hide it, when the enemy arrives in the minefield and pull the lead, it can trigger the mines to explode together. The lower officials once used this mine to cause four or five thousand casualties to the rebel army."
Ma Mingfeng told Fu Zonglong in detail the method and methods of making landmines, and handed over all the production pictures drawn in advance. Then he introduced the grenade to Fu Zonglong and said seriously: "Governor, this thing is called a grenade. Its function is similar to the function of the thunder. However, it has a larger range of damage than the thunder, the damage is deeper, and it is more convenient to use..."
Then Ma Mingfeng introduced the production process and usage method of the grenade to Fu Zonglong in detail, and also handed over the production drawings to Fu Zonglong, asking him to make more of this gunpowder weapon if he had the conditions.
Fu Zonglong was quite interested in the gunpowder weapon developed by Ma Mingfeng. He said to Ma Mingfeng: "No matter what, Mr. Hassan will do his best, especially this gunpowder weapon. I will definitely urge them to make it. I wonder if there is anything else for Lord Ma?"
"No more." Ma Mingfeng felt a little comforted. After all, the other party had improved his weapons, which was an explanation to him.
However, Ma Mingfeng knew that Fu Zonglong didn't catch any colds at all about what he said today.
"Since that's the case, it's important for me to save myself first. As for Governor Fu, I can only take one step at a time. If I don't have the power to provide timely help, it would be helpless."
