"Bastard! Bastards, they are all bastards! How dare they dare?" The angry Zhu Youjian picked up the inkstone and smashed them hard on the ground. The inkstone was scattered all over the ground, and the inkstone was smashed into two pieces. Zhu Youjian, with a ferocious face, gasped heavily, his thin chest fluctuated violently, and one Cao Huachun and the other Wang Chengen knelt on the ground.
Zhu Youjian's anger came from the 50,000 taels of internal treasury he allocated. The silver that should have been used to purchase grain for Dengzhou Camp was left, but after it was out of the treasury, it fell into the hands of the Ministry of Revenue, and then purchased grain at a price of five times higher than the market price. That's all. When the silver was left in the Ministry of Revenue, it turned out to be 25,000 taels. This is called drifting. After the grain purchase, there were always people to transport it. The problem came. During the morning court, Zhu Youjian asked about the grain. The collective opinion of the civil servants was that Jiannu had not yet withdrawn, and it was not safe to open the city gate at this time. It would be better to let Dengzhou Camp send an army back to Beijing and transport grain by himself.
This was the decision after the cabinet and all officials discussed it. Because of this decision, Zhu Youjian's face was ashen. Back in the harem, Cao Huachun brought him anger, which was the question of whether there was a grain price. What's more excessive is that the grain was all old, and many of them were moldy and smelly.
"Thanks to me that I was careful and asked the East Factory to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark about the things these bastards did. Cao Huachun called Luo Yangxing and arrested people. I arrested them all. Anyone who had ever had any moves would be arrested and punished heavily."
When Zhu Youjian was angry, Huang Taiji, who was thousands of miles away, appeared in the military equipment workshop in the city. A month ago, Fan Yongdou got two smoothbore guns from Fujian from Dengzhou Camp, and went through a lot of hardships to send them to Shenyang. Huang Taiji immediately asked the best blacksmith to study the rifle. After a month, he saw the results.
"Your Majesty, the bird gun in Dengzhou camp is probably impossible to imitate." Ning Wan, as the minister who actually followed up, told Huang Taiji that the news was undoubtedly a big blow. Huang Taiji was still calm and asked quietly: "What's going on?"
Ning Wan, I called two Han blacksmiths, both of whom were gray-haired old men, knelt on the ground, holding the rifle and said, "Long live the master. This kind of gun uses different iron. Caomin and others have been exploring for a month before they can get a little idea."
"Don't be afraid, just say it slowly. I'll listen." Huang Taiji showed a kind expression. The two nervous blacksmiths continued to explain: "There are two most difficult places for this bird gun. One is the gun barrel. The general gun barrel is made of iron. This bird gun is not. The pipe is drilled out and there is no gap on the edge. The other is the reed of this trigger. Caomin and others have tried their best to make this elastic reed. Without the reed, the elastic force is not enough and the flint cannot be burned."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Yongdou who was following behind him and smiled and said, "Mr. Fan, can't you buy Dengzhou Iron?"
Fan Yongdou sighed in his heart and bowed, "Your Majesty, Dengzhou iron can be bought, and high-quality steel knives can be purchased. However, they cannot meet the needs of making reeds. And I also found that Dengzhou's steel knives only use high-quality steel on the edge of the edge, and other places use local iron from Dengzhou. Although the quality of this iron is already very good, it cannot be compared with good steel with a edge. As for good steel, Dengzhou does not takeout, and has no idea if he uses all the methods."
Despite his great disappointment, Huang Taiji still didn't get angry. He looked at Fan Yongdou and said earnestly: "Mr. Fan, I will never treat my friends badly. As long as I can get good steel, gold, silver and jewelry will not be missing."
Fan Yongdou could only bite the bullet and said, "Do your best."
He came with excitement and returned with disappointment. Huang Taiji left, leaving Ningwan and Fan Yongdou, who were frowning, and they both bowed each other and flicked. This matter was difficult, and everyone knew it. On the way back, Huang Taiji asked the people around him: "Is there any news about Ajige?"
"A letter that just arrived yesterday captured several county towns. The main force of the Ming army was suppressing the bandits, and all parts of the northern Zhili were guarding the door and guarding the door."
Huang Taiji heard the satisfied little bit and said to himself: "Fortunately there is no movement in Dengzhou Camp, it's okay!"
The work of cleaning the battlefield was very troublesome. Chen Xie asked someone to report to Xianghe and asked them to send civilians to collect taxes. This time, Kong Changru did not dare to come out, so he sent a garrison with two thousand soldiers to help clean the battlefield. Dengzhou Camp had washed valuable things and left the rest of the work for them to do slowly.
The number of rescued people was more than 30,000, which was amazing. If Chen Xie had not arrived, Ajige's victory this time would have been a population of 100,000 and countless money and grain. This time, the food he had left was more than 500 trucks. When He Xian found some young and strong people and was about to take away the food and cloth, an accident happened.
A group of men who looked rich walked out of the crowd and walked outside Chen Xie and were stopped. The leader was wearing a Confucian shirt and shouted at the top of his voice: "In the lower house, Baodi Juren Lantianhe, these food and cloth are all the people's fat and ointment of Baodi people. Since the army has recaptured it, it should be returned to the Baodi people. Do you think this is the reason?"
With just a shout, the expressions of tens of thousands of people were wrong, and they looked at these men who stood out in anticipation.
Chen Xie slowly stepped forward and looked at them condescendingly. These people avoided their eyes, and only Lan Tianhe stammered his neck and shouted: "What, is it wrong to say here?"
"Where were you when Jiannu attacked the city? Where were you when Jiannu broke the city and robbed the city? Where were you when Dengzhou Camp fought bloody battles?" Lan Tianhe said in a fury manner: "What? General Chen refused to give up his wealth? I know that just recently, three thousand people died under the swords and guns of Dengzhou Camp. They were all old, weak, women and children. General Chen killed so many innocent people, do your Majesty know?"
Lan Tianhe looked righteous and righteous. When he said that His Majesty even bowed to the capital, I had a way to complain.
Behind this guy, a group of people also shouted: "Mr. Lan said it well. I will impeach him one copy, so that he can't afford to eat." "The things belong to the people of Baodi, and should be returned to the people of Baodi."
The group of people was aggressive and did not notice at all. At this time, a group of soldiers came up and pointed their guns at them. Chen Xie sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, Lan Tianhe continued to shout proudly: "Friends, everyone, what should I do?"
The scene was unexpectedly quiet, and all the noisy people stopped making noise. Lan Tianhe saw everyone shrinking their necks and showing fear. Even the people who were a little turbulent just now shrank back. Lan Juren's body stiffened, looked at the accomplices who were squatting down with their heads in front of him, and when he looked back, his body became soft and he sat on the ground with his butt.
Chen Xie had turned around and walked five steps away. The soldiers holding the bayonet were looking at them with a sneer. The gun had already pointed at these dozens of people, and he heard a cold order: "No one left!"
Bang bang bang bang! Two hundred rifles fired, Lan Tianhe was beaten into a sieve, and others could not escape death in the constant shooting. One of the non-dead was still shouting: "Give up, spare time!" A bayonet stabbed over, whimper, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and speechless.
"It's getting late. Those who are willing to stay and those who are unwilling to leave will leave." Chen Xie explained and left slowly. All the officers noticed a phenomenon, and Chen Xie changed. He changed his past caution and became extremely decisive when he was in the right direction, and his intention to kill was much stronger.
Only he himself knew why Chen Xie's changes? He was just gentle, which was no longer suitable for the current Dengzhou Camp. Some people just wanted to use blood to make them sober. As for Zhu Youjian, Chen Xie was mentally prepared. How could this plan be recognized by him? Then continue to develop steadily. If not, Chen Xie would go back and wait and take another path.
In fact, both paths are the same goal, but whether they are legitimate or not.
In the middle of the night, Chen Xie was completely relieved by the news brought back by the scout. Ajige led his troops to go east overnight, which meant to run back with the speed of the cavalry. A battle during the day completely defeated the Qing army. The courage was knocked down and the backbone was broken. From then on, the Qing army would definitely be afraid of fighting without fighting. On the other hand, the Dengzhou camp completely defeated the confidence of being invincible in the world.
The results of the battle were counted. On the battlefield, the Qing army was over 10,000 corpses. The main results were crowded by the barbed wire, and then shooting targets with shotguns and guns. This way of killing will be a nightmare in the future, entangling the Qing army present for the rest of their lives.
The results of the seized have not been counted, but the consumption of gun bullets has been counted. All the rockets carried were fired, and there were not many shells left, and only thirty rifle bullets per person. In this result, Chen Xie tweeted and asked someone to go south to Tianjin as soon as possible to contact the transport fleet from Dengzhou.
The next morning, Chen Xie got up and was washing in the forest camp, Wang Qinian arrived. He brought good news. The four-wheeler transport team from Tianjin was twenty miles away. In order to hurry, Wang Qinian rushed to the road overnight without delay. Finally, he was able to arrive in time. The one who came with Wang Qinian was a cavalry battalion.
Seeing Wang Qinian, Chen Xie smiled with satisfaction and stepped forward and replied, "What did you bring?"
Before Wang Qinian could speak, someone rushed out from behind and shouted, "General Chen, I finally saw you. We almost didn't explain along the way." Chen Xie looked at Wu Zhi, who was getting out of a carriage, was carried over by the two of them.
"Grandpa Wu, thank you for your hard work." Chen Xie stepped forward and said, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, it's enough to not delay your major affairs. By the way, has Jiannu been beaten away?"
Chen Xie smiled and said, "I've been killed, our army replenished the bullets and immediately went north to Shunyi. The population and property that Jiannu robbed should not be taken back by them. I have to rob it back." As he spoke, Chen Xie winked, Wu Zhi immediately understood and nodded, "Okay, let's work harder for our family and go back to Beijing to report the good news."
