Chapter 90 Expedition

Qin Zhao nodded and rode his horse toward the special rocket company a little further away.

Battalion Commander Qin Zhengzheng stood in front of the company with a golden sword, shouting loudly, and directing the company's rocket training.

"First row, ignite."

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Twenty-seven rockets flew out under the command of six squad leaders and shot towards the target area of ​​100 meters. Qin Zhao only felt more than twenty thunderbolts suddenly flashing through the air, and saw the rockets falling into the target area of ​​100 meters away.

These rockets are all rockets that do not have gunpowder on the combat department. The combat department is filled with dust and dust, and will not explode after landing.

Qin Zheng came over and shouted loudly: "Thirty-foot shooting, the shooting accuracy is required to be accurate to two meters above and below the target point! The calibration team checked the shooting results!"

A group of correction team soldiers with red scarves tied on their shoulders ran to the target area and began to check the shooting results. Finally, they moved all the rockets without a combat department back.

"Training results report!"

"Twenty-seven rockets, twenty-four hit the target area. Three rockets deviate, one deviate a large deviation, five zhang away from the target. Two deviate a small deviation point, within three zhang."

Qin Zheng shouted loudly: "Which three thieves and prisoners missed the shooting? Stand out for me? Do you know how much money you consume for Qianhu Master every time you practice?"

Chen Defan stood up with a bloody face and shouted loudly: "Report! I just saw Mr. Qianhu coming to check, and I was nervous and my hands trembled!"

The other two came out to report and explained the reasons for their missed ejaculation.

Qin Zheng shouted loudly: "You three, ejaculate ten times in front of Qianhu Master! If you are nervous, run three thousand meters tonight!"

Qin Ning followed Qin Zhao on a horse, shook his head and said, "Photo ten times? How much gunpowder and silver will it cost?"

Qin Zheng was stunned and looked at Qin Ning.

Although everyone is a battalion commander, Qin Ning joined the team earlier than Qin Zheng. He was one of the core figures who killed a tiger. His status in the team was much higher than Qin Zheng. Qin Ning said that shooting ten times wasting gunpowder, so Qin Zheng had to wonder if he would still shoot.

Qin Zhao said seriously: "Let Qin Zheng command, shoot ten times if you shoot ten times."

Qin Ning said: "Master Qianhu, this rocket is majestic, but it is too expensive. A rocket shot out and exploded, and it will cost fifteen taels of silver. Where is this rocket shooting on the battlefield? It's simply shooting silver!"

Qin Ning thought for a while and said, "Master Qianhu, isn't it better to use rockets than to build cannons?"

Qin Zhao shook his head and said, "The rocket is powerful and launches quickly, and it is of great use on the battlefield."

"And I can't find the cannonman."

"Actually, I have started to collect craftsmen who make bird guns. However, Qin Youli searched all over Guangzhou City, and has only found twelve people who have made bird guns. These craftsmen have not made bird guns for many years. They are still unfamiliar with their skills. After moving to Qinjia Village, they are exploring and familiarizing themselves with the craftsmanship, and none of the bird guns they made are qualified."

Qin Ning sneered and said, "It's really a good excuse to make money in vain."

Qin Zhao said with emotion: "There are countless camps and guards in eastern Guangdong, but no one has made bird guns on a large scale in the past ten years. This is really shocking. The last time these craftsmen made bird guns was when Zheng Zhilong fought against Liu Xiang Lao in the sixth year of Chongzhen. The commander of the Guangzhou Left Guard was worried that Liu Xiang Lao would take revenge on Guangzhou City and built 130 bird guns to defend the city."

"I haven't made a gun for more than ten years, and my skills are terrible when I just touched it."

Everyone was watching the training there, and suddenly saw Qin Youli coming over on a horse.

"Master Qianhu~"

Qin Youli looked panicked on his face. He rushed to Qin Zhao, jumped off his horse, kowtowed in front of Qin Zhao, and then took out a document from his arms.

"Master Qianhu, something happened. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi sent a message to send a message to the army."

"Transfer troops to write?"

Qin Zhao frowned and looked at the writing carefully.

Qin Ning was a little nervous and asked, "Brother Zhao! What do you say?"

Qin Zhao sneered, handed the letter to Qin Ning, and said, "Ding Kuichu wants to kill me!"

Qin Ning was illiterate and was surprised and asked inexplicably, "How did Ding Kuichu kill Brother Zhao?"

Qin Zhao said: "Qin Ning, you have to learn to recognize words, otherwise you will not be able to understand the documents in the future, what kind of style will it become?"

Qin Ning touched the back of his head and smiled, "Brother Zhao, what about Ding Kuichu's affairs! Why did I say that I can read?"

Qin Zhao sneered and said, "Wuchang now has a rebellion and a Qing Dynasty. Our servant team has only recruited four months, but Ding Kuichu transferred me to the north to defend Wuchang at this time. This is to create a killing game for me in Wuchang while my troops have not been trained.

Qin Ning was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Brother Zhao, what should we wait? I will stay in the air peak and won't go?"

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Ding Kuichu thought my servant was vulnerable, but he didn't know how sharp my Qin rocket was."

"Go! I'll go to Huguang and give Ding Kuichu a surprise."

...

On December 15th, Qin Zhao arranged various things in the territory and led his troops to fight.

There were 1,120 soldiers from the military, Qin Zhao led 1,000 to the expedition, and the remaining 120 soldiers defended Qinjia Village and Caiyun Peak. Qinjia Village had Qin Zhao's sofa factory, Caiyun Peak had a spring workshop, silver warehouse and rocket manufacturing base, and soldiers needed to defend it. The dilapidated castle of Jinghai Fort had nothing to defend. The military households inside could barely have enough food and would not have any force to covet it, so Qin Zhao would not station troops.

More than 100 soldiers defending were commanded by Qin Youli. In fact, Qin Zhao still had 216 local regiments in his hands. If forces outside Xiangshan County came to attack Qinjia Village, these regiments could also defend the key points. These regiments were temporarily under the command of Qin Youli.

A thousand soldiers set out to fight, and the people of Qinjia Village gathered at the gate of Jinghai Fort to bid farewell to Qin Zhao.

The future of Qinjia Village is now shared with Qin Zhao and has been firmly tied together. Everyone in Qinjia Village knows that as long as Qin Zhao continues to be strong, the villagers of Qinjia Village can eat meat in big mouthfuls. If Qin Zhao collapses, not only will the family who gets monthly money from Qin Zhao collapse, but those juren will also have to counterattack.

So they were very concerned about Qin Zhao's conquest, for fear that Qin Zhao would go out to fight against the war. At this time, hundreds of people who had bid farewell to the service regiment were gathered. The people in Qinjia Village all looked expectant, but the soldiers of Jinghai Fort were a little numb.

After all, the Jinghai Fort military households receive less favors from Qin Zhao, so it is normal for them to be a little numb.

The only thing Qin Zhao did for the Jinghai Fort military households was to reduce the grain of military farming, and the "private land" of the previous thousand-household Xiao Heng, but the amount was not large.

In fact, Qin Zhao led not only one thousand soldiers this time, but also the 800 temporary recruits of baggage civilians. These civilians followed Qin Zhao with wheelbarrows, responsible for transporting Qin Zhao's Qin rockets. These wheelbarrows were not expensive, and were all modified by Qin Zhao and equipped with bearings.

Each wheelbarrow can be loaded with four Qin's rockets. Of course, Qin Zhao did not have so many rockets. Qin Zhao had stored gunpowder for five months and only barely made 2,300 rockets. This was the result of Zheng Sen's generous business and selling 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao's sofa factory is constantly expanding, and Zheng Chenggong is not worried about Qin Zhao's solvency at all.

In addition to loading rockets, wheelbarrows are more loading dry food and tents.
