: Use troops at the Mao hour

"Damn it, do you believe it or not!" Yang Ling was so angry that he took the initiative to do so: "I won't explain it yet!"

The officials were originally embarrassed, but when the official Yang gave up, he took out the attitude of "I am a gangster, who am I afraid of?", they lost all their momentum.

These officials came to the door just to congratulate. Only Commander Luo reported on the military situation and asked Duke Wei to give advice to the next battle. This time, he said a long story short, without saying a short sentence, and he was very polite.

Luo Shiquan hurriedly reported and asked for instructions, and then he was defeated like a mountain and led a group of defeated generals to flee. He made a sudden statement and Qiao Sihai, who called the wife of Weiguo Gong a "old woman", had a butt and was faster than anyone else.

Yang Ling stood in the martial arts hall with his head held high and his chest held high. He bowed farewell to the officials very barely, with a open mind and an open face. Adni snuggled beside him like a bird leaning against someone.

When Wu Hanchao, Peng Xiaoyang and others saw that the civil and military officials had left, they immediately left without farting, and then they scattered the birds and beasts. Yang Ling was majestic and looked down on his left and right. Seeing that there were no one in the lobby except for the four guards who were deaf and dumb at the entrance of the hall, there was no one in the lobby. Then they held Adni's shoulder and turned her directly opposite him.

In the country where Adni is located, women are relatively independent and strong. Her identity and experience make her more independent and rational than ordinary women. Therefore, Yang Ling handed over such an important letter to her and admitted the dangers she might encounter. Because of her strength, this Baron Ali Adni, who came to the East from thousands of miles away to ride the wind and waves and by chance became his woman, was also the one who Yang Ling cared about the least.

However, at first glance, Adni seemed to be reborn, and her eyes were completely unseen from the trust, reserved, noble and resolute. The beautiful eyes, staring at him, were full of attachment and timeless affection, and the full love of a beautiful girl was presented nakedly without reservation.

When Yang Ling saw this, his heart trembled. Although the two had the shortest date, at this glance, their hearts suddenly became very close. The most gaze was infinite, as if they had met in their previous lives. The love between men and women was the easiest feeling of water blending into their breasts, let alone the two of them had feelings? Of course, this kind of thing was also the easiest thing to attract the earth and fire.

Adnie had tears in her eyes, but a sweet and satisfying smile was hanging on the corner of her mouth. She threw herself into Yang Ling's arms again and gently wrapped around his waist. Her head was against his chin and leaned against his chest and said quietly: "Yang, I finally saw you again. I was so sad after hearing that you had an accident. In those days, I felt like I was abandoned by the whole world. In this foreign country, you are my only support and my only relative. I will never leave you again."

Yang Ling gently held her soft shoulders, gently stroked the tears from her cheeks, and smiled and said, "Look at you, you women..., how long has it been, and now I still cry when I think about it. Adni is a naval captain and a professional soldier. He should be stronger than an ordinary woman, right?"

Adni flattened her mouth and gently pounded his shoulder: "You are so brave. Who do you want to show him to be strong in front of you?"

Her Chinese still has a foreign accent. These words that seem anger and resentful are filled with the true feelings of a girl, but they are spoken in this tone, which makes her feel enchanting and charming in her heart.

Yang Ling felt a sway in his heart and hugged her slender waist tightly. If it weren't for still in the lobby, the plump and tender lips would have been ravaged by him again. He smiled and said, "Who taught you the word "Husband?"

Adni blinked and said, "It's Lian'er. She said that she should call you that. I called you an unmarried husband. She couldn't laugh at me, so I changed my words. Why is he the king of the country now?"

Yang Ling laughed, explained a few briefly, asked about Ma Lian'er and his daughter Pan'er, and then sighed sadly: "As a Duke, I thought I wouldn't have so many concerns, and I was about to take you all over, but now the soldiers are in a mess, so I stayed in the capital for a safer time.

I don’t care about going to see her now. By the way, aren’t you and Lian’er responsible for the industries in Jiangnan? Why did you come to Beijing? Xiaoyang said he must escort him in person... it’s you?"

Yang Ling did not deliberately inquire about Lian'er's news. Even if the woman is generous, she will never tire of asking about the other one about the situation. The more concerned and considerate she is, the more uncomfortable she will feel.

Ma Lian'er is in Jiangnan. If you want to complain, I'm afraid her husband can't be with her. Others, such as wealthy clothes and food, and many servants, will never have any problems in life. Asking these things is artificial.

When talking about the escort, Adni couldn't help but feel excited, jumped up and said excitedly: "Yang, I'll take you to see. Now the things are placed in the west wing of the front yard, and the people we brought are strictly guarding, but... In fact, there is no need to be so careful. Mr. Zheng and I tried it again and again, and it is very safe."

Seeing her excited face flushed, Yang Ling said quickly and said anxiously, but she didn't understand what she was pointing to, so she asked, "What are you talking about?"

Adni's eyes were flashing with a playful meaning. She pulled his hand, raised her eyebrows charmingly, and said with a sweet smile: "Come on, I'll take you to see, I'll surprise you!"

Yang Ling smiled and let her hold her hands to the west wing. The west wing had been guarded by Peng Xiaoyang's soldiers. When they saw Adni, they all stood up and saluted, obviously they all recognized the female general.

The Dezhou Martial Arts Hall is very large in size, and the courtyards are like a large park. The front yard and the left and right sides are originally places for storing important arms. Peng Xiaoyang holds official letters from the Fujian Military Weapons Bureau, Fujian Commander's Office, and Zhejiang Commander's Office, so he was able to move in.

Adni pulled him to a ku room, ordered the soldiers to open the ku door, and then walked in with Yang Ling. He saw three huge wooden boxes in the warehouse. Adni asked someone to open the seal of the wooden box, pry open the wooden board, and then smiled around the wooden box with his hands behind his back and glanced at Yang Ling twice.

Adni's decent military uniform looks even more slender and tight, her chest is round, and her bright and bright brings out her heroic spirit. Especially her tall figure, smooth and full curves on her chest and waist, and her legs are indescribable and seductive. Her long thighs are straight and round, wrapped in trousers and boots, and the proportions are very beautiful and charming.

Yang Ling imagined how slender, round and moist the malt-colored thighs were. He couldn't help but feel aroused in his heart and hurriedly smiled: "Little girl, what's the mystery? Why don't you show me clearly?"

Adni smiled with a pursed lips, then suddenly grabbed the lid and turned upwards, and said with a smile: "Yang, look at it yourself."

Yang Ling walked closer and looked into the box. He saw a layer of cotton wool and straw above. He gently tweaked a few times, held his breath, and picked up one, looked at it foolishly, and said softly: "Grenade!"

Adnie smiled and said, "Yes. It was made from the grenade you mentioned to me when you were in Fuzhou. Its prototype is the thunder in the army."

Adni picked up a grenade and said, "The flintlock rifle designed by the Beijing Military Weapons Bureau has accelerated its firing rate a lot, and we have developed multiple muskets based on this. In terms of firing rate, it is no longer inferior to the bow and arrow. However, there are still problems such as the barrel of the gun is prone to explode and the gun chamber is not sealed well. Soldiers are often afraid of using it or refuse to use it because they are afraid of the explosion of the gun chamber.

In addition, the ground gunpowder needs to be improved now, otherwise a few guns will be let go, and the residue in the gun chamber will be deposited and cannot be used continuously without cleaning it. The artillery is too bulky and easy to attack and defend the city, so it is almost impossible to carry it with the current means of transportation. In addition, its excessive dependence on supplies and supplies is difficult for the country to bear financially."

Yang Ling nodded and said that muskets were still used together with swords and swords until the Napoleon era, and their advantages were complementary. In this era, it was simply unrealistic to completely replace bows and cavalry with muskets. In addition to technical difficulties and financial problems, it is estimated that the military, horse, money and food consumed by Shandong's bandit suppression alone would exceed 900,000 taels. If it was a full firearm unit, that astronomical figure would make the country bankrupt. Some things were not as simple as thinking about it. The best thing to use may not be the most suitable. The money that was fought in war was money.

It turns out that the ground musket can shoot at least six arrows with one shot, while the cavalry charges only three arrows before fighting. As long as three arrows are fired in the field, the opponent's cavalry will rush forward, and at that time they can only have the effect of swords and close combat. The current muskets have a rate of fire that is equal to that of bows and arrows, which is only three guns. It is better to defend but not to fight in the field, not to mention that the problem of shooting range is inferior to bows and arrows has not been solved yet.

Adni said: "Although the advantages of fast horse hard bows are not obvious at present, its strength is that ordinary people who have short training time and are relatively weaker than knights can also become qualified warriors once they master it. I think that since the Ming army is still mainly guns in the long battle, except for artillery, and cannot be replaced by muskets, can they try their best to exert the power of firearms in melee battles to replace swords, spears, or become a major arm aid in melee battles?"

Adni smiled and said, "The Thunder of the Sky was originally a kind of firearm used in the army. It was just that it needed to ignite the fuse, which was inconvenient to use, and if it was to ensure its power, it was too big and could not carry several people. I remember you told me a vision in Fuzhou, and I realized it.

This small grenade uses the flintlock principle to cause fire. Although the shell of the tortoise shell you proposed is easy to explode, it is inconvenient to carry. Moreover, although the gunpowder has been improved, the explosion force is still insufficient. So I decided not to hurt people with the shell, and the shell is still cast into a column, so that each person can carry ten to fifteen pieces with you. The column-shaped outer wall should be as thin as possible so that it can only play the role of the packaging. A large number of hook-shaped, needle-shaped iron sheets and iron beads are installed inside. Once it explodes, it will be difficult for people and animals to escape within five meters of radius."

Iron sheets, steel balls? Yang Ling suddenly remembered the US military grenades he had seen in a movie. Once the steel ball exploded, his scalp suddenly became a little numb. He looked at the big box of three and said, "This...... are all grenades?"

Adni smiled and said, "The cost of grenades is low and the manufacturing technology is simple, but we only have time to make two boxes. I brought the drawings and can be made nearby by the Beijing Military Weapons Bureau. The last box is not a grenade."

Adni said proudly: "The grenade is still not far enough to throw with arm strength. I cast a larger cone grenade. It borrows artillery firing technology and is actually a small cannon. It only has an iron tube that can be carried by a single soldier. Although it is slow to launch. However, it crawls forward in the field and is very effective in destroying the opponent's temporary obstacles and defensive bases, with a range of three to five times that of throwing."

She smiled at Yang Ling and said, "This is also borrowing from the idea that my genius husband said, I have made it a reality!"

Adni said as he lifted up the wooden box, and shiny launchers were separated by cotton, neatly arranged in the box. The individual bazooka... Although there is some difference between it and the modern bazooka, Yang Ling has never seen the internal structure of the modern bazooka. However, since Adni brought it, it must be simulated and should be able to use it.

Yang Ling laughed loudly, and he couldn't help but rush over, lowered his body and wrapped his hands around her plump buttocks. Adni shouted, hurriedly hugged Yang Ling's neck, and then she was already being picked up by Yang Ling, and she quickly turned around in the room three times, and said happily: "Adni. You are really my timely rain, and the wind is on the boat, hahaha, it's really hard for you."

Adni gently slid off him and said affectionately: "If someone doesn't think about you, who else can you think about? A smart woman should know how to love her men."

Yang Lingxin laughed a few times, closed the box cover, and said, "These weapons have helped me a lot. The plan I am about to implement is even more foolproof with this batch of weapons. Let's go back and talk. By the way, I will serve as the governor of the bandit suppression. The news should have just reached Jiangnan. Why have you arrived? Do you still know how to predict the future?"

Adni said: "It was Lian'er who said it. Lian'er and I were in Jiangnan. We occasionally went to take care of our business when we were on the military weapon bureau. This was developed by Mr. Zheng and I. As soon as a batch was created, the news of the rebellion of Xiangma in the Jingji community came. Lian'er got the military intelligence report through her brother and Lord Qian of the Fushishi.

After analysis, she told me that it must be you, who led the troops to suppress the rebellion. I asked me to send you the weapons I had made immediately and help you. At the same time, I carried the drawings and made them nearby by the Beijing Military Weapons Bureau, which is more convenient."

"Liang'er...".

Yang Ling was slightly stunned, and a moment of loss of consciousness. The beautiful woman's moist smile suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, her natural eyebrows, her beautiful eyes as clear as water, and her charming charming posture everywhere...

How can I get the law of both worlds and live up to the righteousness and live up to you. Lian'er..., waiting for me, your husband will soon send troops to quell the rebellion. After the bandits are suppressed here, I will definitely bring you back. In this life, I will never be separated!

The towering Jinan City stands tall and steep, with many gate towers, corner towers, view towers, arrow towers, and female walls intertwined into a dense attack network. The trenches outside the city are both deep and wide, and are comparable to the city of Datong Prefecture, a major town in the border.

This city occupies a key rush of water and land, is a place that must be fought for by military strategists, and is also the location of the highest commanding yamen in Shandong Province. If this city can be conquered, it will undoubtedly have a strong political influence not only in military affairs, but also in terms of strong political influence. The cities that are waiting and defended in Shandong will collapse without fighting due to its fall.

Jinan City was defended in deep ditches and high bases, and tens of thousands of soldiers were on guard. The fortress was as hard as standing on a mountain and difficult to shake. When the King of Yan launched the Jingnan Campaign, this was a military fortress. At that time, the King of Yan seized the important military station of the Ming Dynasty, Dezhou, and obtained more than one million stones of grain and countless soldiers and armor. Not only did he become a strong man, but also made Jinan an isolated city.

Despite this, Shandong political participation in politics Tie Xuan gathered some of the remnants of the imperial court, and the scattered soldiers were wandering. Relying on this city, he confronted the King of Yan for several months. Later, the King of Yan brought cannons to attack the city. Tie Xuan found a painter to paint a portrait of Zhu Di's father Zhu Yuanzhang, and trenched countless plaques at the top of the city, which made Zhu Di very powerful and dare not to bombard the city. Finally, he returned depressed.

Later, it was not until Zhu Di took Nanjing and won the world. He sent troops to the north to siege the city for a long time. He used up the food and grass in the city, and then took down Jinan City. Zhu Di hated Tie Xuan very much and sent all his wife and daughter to Jiaofangsi to be humiliated. After his death, he abandoned the corpse and fed the dog, but he still couldn't help but feel his hatred.

Now that Yang Hu rebelled, the officers and soldiers defended the city, the portrait of Old Man Zhu could not be used as a shield. Fortunately, Yang Hu did not have cannons. Even if there were, it might not be as many cannons as in Jinan City, so Yang Hu did not attack Jinan directly. Now he is attacking Tai'an day and night. As long as the horse thieves take over Dezhou, the generals of the Jinan City defending army may not have the courage and courage of Tiexun. They surrounded Jinan into an isolated city and may not be able to take it down.

Tai'an City has sent people to break through several times to ask Jinan City for help, but Chen Hongmeng, the commander who was dispatched from Sichuan to defend Jinan, just kept his troops in control. His army was more than enough to defend the city. However, the morale of the army cannot be compared with a group of desperate people, and there are not many officers and soldiers. It is purely a joke to use thousands of cavalry to rush to Tai'an. If a large group of infantry and cavalry were dispatched, Yang Hu's cavalry would have to break through on the flanks and be slaughtered.

Chen Hongmeng would not do anything about meat buns beating dogs. Yang Hu's 100,000 troops have been surrounded by Tai'an for so long but cannot take it. It is not that he really can't take it. It may not be that he wants to lure him to help him to help him. It is much faster than taking Tai'an and trapping Jinan. Chen Hongmeng saw through Yang Hu's tricks and was not fooled.

Regarding this matter, he communicated with Shandong governor Lu Jishan, and Lu Jishan also agreed with his judgment. However, the military and political officials in Jinan may not have this insight, and they all think that he is afraid of fighting and timid in the enemy. The attacks and remarks are endless. Not long after he was transferred from Sichuan, local gentry and bureaucrats were not familiar with him, so they kept putting pressure on the governor Lu Jishan and forced him to send troops.

Lu Jishan was also an official with great intentions. He was not only an old official, but also a piece of meat with a hob. He was also thankful for him. He could withstand the crowds of people coming to Jinan Prefecture to bombard the door. He withstand the continuous use of soft and hard work from spirit to reputation, from career to future, and threats and temptations.

The argument of the loss of lips and teeth cold. Lu Jishan's ears were already calloused. Chen Hongmeng's reason had also repeatedly explained to these local gentry clans and officials and scholars. Unfortunately, these people couldn't listen at all. There were many in-law relationships between the gentry clans and Jinan. Seeing that Tai'an was in danger, how could they feel at ease?

Weng Zhiqi, a great hero from Jinan, said angrily: "Chen Hongmeng? That old Taoist who pretends to be a god has no ability. He is obviously afraid of death and dare not send troops. Sir, you are the governor of Shandong, and your official rank is one level higher than him. You should be fully responsible during the war. You have to force him to send troops."

Chen Hongmeng admired Taoism. Not only did he offer statues of the ancestors of the Sanqing family, but he had a stick of incense in the morning and evening, he often interacted with Taoist priests who had Taoism in famous mountains and rivers near Jinan. Therefore, these famous families and noble gentry despised them as the old Taoist priests of Hongmeng.

Lu Jishan smiled bitterly, and he said with a frown: "Everyone, everyone, I am a literati after all. If you talk about military affairs, how can you get Lord Chen? Yang Huzhi is not in Tai'an, but in Jinan, he can only send troops to Jinan's defenders. Lord Chen knows the troops. Jinan's army should be defended rather than attacking, and there is no way."

There was a tangle here, and someone rushed to report: "Report to the governor, Tai'an Mansion has sent a special envoy to ask for help!"

When the officials and gentry at the venue heard this, their eyes lit up. Without waiting for Lu Jishan's orders, they said one after another: "Come in quickly."

The people outside didn't have to shout at all, and they came in. When the anxious Lu Jishan saw the man coming in, he immediately stood up respectfully, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, why are you......?"

The one who came outside was an old man, originally from Zhejiang Xuezheng, named Zhang Duoqi. He was originally Lu Jishan's mentor. After retiring from the office, he returned to his hometown in Tai'an to take care of his old age. After Lu Jishan was appointed as the Shandong Provincial Governor's Office, he often visited his mentor during festivals. Now that he saw him coming, he couldn't help but stand up.

The old man's face was black and white, thin, and a goatee beard under his jaw, which looked very funny. This scholar was not old-fashioned, humorous and interesting, and knowledgeable. He was very popular with students when he was in charge of political education.

Zhang Duoqi was really angry when he saw Lu Jishan. He snorted heavily, picked up a chair and sat down, slapped his thigh and said, "Sir? My old man is about to die first. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taizhou were looking forward to your Master Lu sending troops to help, and his neck grew three inches long. The people asking for help came one after another. Now my old man has also been sent. For the sake of my old face, you say, when will the soldiers be sent?"

Lu Jishan walked to him and said humbly: "Sir, it's not a student who is sitting on the verge of Tai'an. It's just that Yang Hu's heart is known to everyone. He besieged Tai'an for a long time and could not take it. It was clearly trying to lure Jinan to send troops and easily seize Jinan City by example. Now that the Duke of Wei has arrived in Dezhou, he will definitely lead troops to support him after defeating Liu Liu's rebels. Tai'an........ Alas! You have to grit your teeth and hold on."

Zhang Duoqi opened his mouth and pointed at his mouth and said, "Stand for it? Look, do I have teeth? I'm almost falling out, why should I bite it? You are the Shandong governor, not the Jinan governor, Tai'an is not your local citizen? You just watch Tai'an fall and hundreds of thousands of people are robbed?"

Lu Jishan smiled bitterly, facing his extremely angry mentor, he had to stumble and explain, and the local officials and gentry beside him rushed to help him speak. Lu Jishan felt that he could not resist it. Old Man Zhang was breathing evenly and suddenly jumped up. He knelt down for Lu Jishan: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, can you beg you? Tai'an can't hold on at the sight. You can show your compassion and send troops!"

When Lu Jishan saw his mentor cheating, he slipped out for a while. He knelt down, shook his head and stumbled his neck, and said, "Compassion can be used, but soldiers cannot be used! I know it is a pit. Students cannot lead Jinan soldiers and civilians to jump in."

Zhang Duoqi shivered in anger. He took out a large pile of thick things from his arms tremblingly and slapped, "Look, look, have you seen it? This is my pen, Tai'an, officials, gentry, and celebrities signed the land together, and it is a lawsuit. Take it to see. If Tai'an falls, we will go to Beijing to sue you. You are an inauthentic bastard!"

Lu Jishan said embarrassedly: "Teacher, you should get up first. Such a thick stack, what do you want the students to think about? The students know that you have good writing skills and want to read it. If you want to send it to Beijing in the future, you should show it to the emperor."

Zhang Duoqi pointed at his nose and shouted: "Okay, okay! Do you don't care, right? I...I..."

He looked around for a while, got up and walked to the edge of a pillar, and said hatefully: "You are trying to force me to death. Will you send troops? If you don't send troops, the old man will hit the pillar to death."

"But, but other mentor, you are so close to the pillar, it's not cost-effective to touch a big bag on your head. Sit down and let's discuss it slowly..."

"What a nonsense! You don't agree, right? Then I'll hang myself to you," Old Man Zhang took off his belt, pointed at the beam of the room and roared loudly.

Lu Jishan smiled and said with a wry smile: "Sir, your waist is so thin, and your belt is less than two feet long. Even if you can climb up, the belt can't even get around the beam. How can you put it around your neck? Oh, you want to gossip? Don't let it go, sir, just your teeth..."

Lu Jishan knew that the old man was very scheming and did so many actions just to force him to send troops, and he had no intention of seeking death. While teasing his mentor, he walked over and dragged Zhang Duoqi's thin arm, dragged the old man back and pressed him on the chair.

The old man slapped his thigh and cried: "Tai'an is looking forward to my old face, you can give me some face. Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting to help you. Why are you so kind of hearts just like a pair of iron stones..., I don't have the face, I don't have such a big face..."

He grabbed a teacup, put it on his pointed chin and cried, "I, Zhang Duoqi, have no face. My face is not as big as a fingernail in your eyes. If you bury your face in this teacup, you can drown alive. What kind of face do I have to meet the elders of Tai'an..."

He was false to seek death, but he cried, but he was really crying. Lu Jishan panicked. He persuaded the gentleman. The bureaucratic and gentry next to him took the opportunity to persuade him. Everyone was in a mess, and the soldiers and armor outside were clamoring. More than a dozen Ming armored soldiers were holding murderous troops and encircled into the lobby.

The first person was a deputy general. When he saw Lu Jishan, he immediately saluted and said loudly: "I am not aware of the governor Lu, the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief Chen is preparing to help Tai'an. We specially sent us to invite the governor and the Censor-in-chief and all the governors to go to the school to coordinate the defense matters in Jinan."

The people in the house were stunned. After a while, Lu Jishan said blankly: "Mr. Chen is going to send troops?"
To be continued...
