Chapter 31 Spike
Chen Mu, who was walking on the way to Anyuan Station, rode his horse and walked three times, followed by many people, in addition to his flag soldiers, there were Shao Tingda's father, Zheng Cong's father, Old Man Zheng and Younger Son of the Flag Army. It was not that Chen Mu only wanted these few people, but that the flag manager had no family available. Shao Tingda's family had many people, but they were all kids. Fu Yuan's family had people, but Fu Yuan had to take care of him when he was injured. But Shi Qi and Wei Balang were both single families and no one was available.
But this was enough for Chen Mu to be happy. With these few Yu Dings, they could make the salt this winter. Even if the manpower is insufficient and the amount is not as high as Chen Mu imagined, it is at least not less than killing someone and exchanging money for money, not to mention that this matter is much safer.
As for whether private transactions of nitrite soil violate the law, how should it be sold? Chen Mu feels that he doesn't have to worry about this matter now. What he needs to worry about is to make the nitrite soil first. Even if it can't be sold in the end, at least as the most raw material required in the medicine, his medicine will be continuously produced in the future. The flag manager under his command will get a lot of opportunities to practice firearms, which is worth it.
Wei Balang was beaten up by Chen Mu before, but when Chen Mu pulled down the smallest belly from the Japanese pirates and put the armor on the boy, he was very happy in a blink of an eye. If Chen Mu had not repeatedly asked the armor to be worn inside, he would have to slip on his belly as a walk! Now the silly child is carrying a long spear of the Japanese pirates wearing a torn cotton jacket and leaning on the musket. He should not catch up with his long Japanese knife on his waist, and walk happily at the front.
The profit of this battle was considered to be a dress-up for Chen Xiaoqi. Several of his masters hung a Japanese knife on their waists. Shiqi took a long spear and shared Chen Mu's martial arts equipment that Chen Mu killed in the forest, and was just right under the cotton coat. Shao Tingda's mandarin duck war jacket was already broken, and Chen Mu wanted to give Shao Tingda the only warrior armor, but he was too burly. It was very funny that he didn't fit in the Japanese armor, so he had to wear it with a thinner Shiqi.
The injured Fu Yuan had all the soldiers and armor he captured. However, the Japanese pirate archer was poor, and only a longbow and a Japanese knife were worth some money. They were all kept at Fu Yuan's house. Chen Mu also left some broken silver for his wife and children, so that he could recover from his injuries and not leave any stubborn diseases.
Chen Mu has spent most of the rewards received by Heiling Night Battle, but he has no worries at all. This winter, he will be in charge of food and accommodation in the inn, and when he returns to the garrison office in the spring, he can still exchange his salary for a few taels of silver, which is enough for the expenses.
By the way, his house was burned by the Japanese pirates, and the food was also robbed by the Japanese pirates, but after driving away the Japanese pirates, there were more wars and foods than before... As for who was missing in the end, Chen Mu didn't care.
Anyway, the military households who followed Bai Yuanjie to fight were all given more or less food. Those who had not been released were extremely cowardly when they were robbed. Let’s tell them to go hungry and just pretend they were robbed by Japanese pirates!
Chen Mu immediately tinkered with the Japanese gun, thinking that after he went back, he asked Guan Yuangu to make a pair of gun beds with his hands, and then he could try to repair the Japanese gun that he had swung and destroyed. If he could have three bird guns under his command, he would not feel panic when he encountered Japanese pirates again. Especially when he saw the scene of the musket explosion today, he was even more convinced that his subordinates would never have weapons like muskets in the future.
Even if you have one, you have to supervise the muskets yourself.
To be honest, the muskets are not useless. He can see it clear in battle. Although the range of the muskets is slightly closer, they can create an unparalleled deterrent to the enemies who charge forward - even the fireman himself does not know where the projectile will fly, let alone the enemy. The better aspect of muskets than bird guns is melee combat. Muskets can directly join melee combat after firing the gun without being protected by anyone. These short hammers have certain lethality regardless of whether the enemy is wearing armor or not.
On the other hand, the bird gunners were not good. They were invaded by the enemy within ten steps. The bird gunners did not have much defense ability unless they brought another waist knife, but a nine-pound and ten-pound bird gun was heavy enough. Not every guard could have a good physique like Shao Tingda. Too heavy burden would only make their combat power drop rapidly.
In order to truly make the bird gunner a system and be invincible in the long attack and near defense, Chen Mu needs one thing - a bayonet, the simplest plug bayonet.
But now is not the time. Now there are only two or three kittens under your command. Even if both bird guns are equipped with bayonets, they cannot play much role in the war. Just like today's war, there is no time when Chen Mu needs to take action. Most of the Japanese pirates were killed or injured from the Japanese. The real Japanese who came across the sea felt worthless and led their troops back.
However, Chen Mu really wanted to take a look at the three-eyed gun, such a weapon that ran rampant on the nine sides, although Chen Mu had not yet seen his true appearance.
Unlike Chen Mu's leisurely style while riding, Shao Tingda rode his horse out of his hair and held his sword in his hand. He didn't think there was anything to be happy about right now. Hundreds of Japanese pirates appeared in Qingyuan Guards with thousands of troops, regardless of how many Japanese were from the Japanese, which meant that the situation was not good. Even though they repelled Japanese pirates from the northeast, who could guarantee that there were no Japanese pirates elsewhere in Qingyuan?
Their house in Baihuyuan was burned. After leaving Baihuyuan, Shao Tingda's face was always bad. This winter, his wife and children will be under someone's roof. Although the same ward will most likely be properly placed and taken care of, the golden and silver nests are not as good as their own doghouse. Shao Mangchuang has been eyeing the roadside, hoping that a few more bald Japanese pirates would pop up at this moment, making him feel angry!
Although he may not be able to beat the real Japanese who is superb in swordsmanship, Shao Tingda thought so, otherwise the evil fire in his heart would not have been released!
They really met them.
When he reached the road ten miles away from Anyuan Post Station, three figures suddenly emerged from the woods, scaring everyone. Chen Mu immediately raised his Japanese gun and pointed it at the figure. Especially when he saw the small Japanese hair bun on the top of the three people's bare heads, he immediately pulled the trigger, but the gun did not make any sound. How could he open fire when the gun without igniting the fuse?
Shao Tingda's reaction was even more extreme. He jumped off the horse and went up. Shiqi, Zheng Cong and others rushed around, but no one expected that the three figures jumped out of the forest, not to challenge the sword, but instead threw three Japanese swords on the ground, kneeling on the ground, one of them shouted loudly: "Brother Mu, don't hurt me!"
As soon as the Japanese pirates spoke Chinese, the Qingyuan guards were stunned, and they pressed the spear and kicked the Japanese swords on the ground, just waiting for them to explain clearly before Chen Mu decided to take them.
"ah!"
